Fang Shao laid the groundwork for a long time, and finally said his intentions, trying to make Sun Quan sound like he thought that Liu Bei was not holding back his strength to grab land with him, but just working hard in the era when he couldn't get out.

Sun Quan grinned without smiling, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk, and after a pause, he said: "It's rare that Liu Yuanjun is so hearted, but Liu Yuanjun is a small general, and he is afraid that he wants to help Gu, so he is also willing and powerless." ”

Fang Shao disagreed, and said: "The general's words are wrong, although my lord's army is small, but the general's army is here, and it is not a problem to cross the Xiangshui, not to mention that my lord's father has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and he is well known, and it is not impossible to receive the rumors from the four southern counties, so the general does not have to worry." ”

Fang Shao analyzed Sun Quan's interests thoroughly, and highlighted his own advantages, especially Guan Yu's naval army, at this point, Sun Quan was a little difficult to answer.

He frowned slightly, and suddenly smiled, and said with a smile: "Fang is engaged in the wind and dust, coming from afar, and working hard all the way, it is not too late for us to talk about these things slowly, it is not too early, why don't you go back to the museum to rest first, and someone has already sent some consolation gifts, and when you are engaged in resting, we will talk about it in detail." ”

Sun Quan politely gave the order to expel the guest, Fang Shao also knew that such a big matter, Sun Quan had to discuss it with those staff, and it was obviously unrealistic to ask him to reply immediately.

At that moment, Shao didn't say much, got up and arched his hand: "Then Shao won't bother the general, Shao will retire first." ”

Fang Shao walked out of the political affairs hall, his expression was calm and calm all the way, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got into the carriage, and sighed in his heart: "Today's performance is finally smooth, and Sun Quan is also a character who hides a knife in his smile, and I don't know if my remarks can make him recognize the stakes." Well, you can't just wait for him to make a decision, you have to walk around. ”

So, after returning to the pavilion to rest for a night, the next day, Fang Shao ran non-stop in Chaisang City, and ran through the mansions of Zhang Zhao, Buqi and other important ministers of Eastern Wu, all they did was to give gifts and show Liu Bei's admiration for them.

In addition, Fang Shao did not extract a word about the four southern counties, but in front of these people, he took the trouble to praise Zhou Yu in front of Sun Quan.

Fang Shao knew very well that when Cao Ying went south, most of the Jiangdong ministers such as Zhang Zhao surrendered, and it was Zhou Yu who came forward to suppress them, and these people were silent about Zhou Yu, but they must have opinions in private, and it is estimated that they are not hopeful that Zhou Yu will defeat Cao Ying.

And now in the battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu is famous all over the world, and most of them are not in their hearts, and now Shao is pretending not to know and exaggerated praise and show off Zhou Yu's achievements, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire.

When Fang Shao visited the important ministers of Eastern Wu who stayed in Chaisang, it was already four days later, and Sun Quan had not summoned him again, and it was estimated that he was still under discussion.

Fang Shao is not in a hurry, anyway, the city of Jiangling in the west is strong, and it will take at least a year and a half for Zhou Yu to fight down, while the four southern counties will not be able to level in a few months, and he has time to wait.

In the evening of this day, after Fang Shao visited Gu Yong's Mansion, he went to Zhou Yu's Mansion with a heavy gift, although his trip to Jiangdong was with the purpose of plotting against Zhou Yu, but as the most beautiful hero in Jiangdong at the moment, and a "comrade-in-arms" who cooperated with Liu Bei on the front line, Fang Shao came to Chaisang, so there was no reason not to visit Mrs. Xiao Qiao, otherwise he would just snub others, but it would make people suspicious of him.

Entering Zhou Yu's mansion, Xiao Qiao was at home, she had also known Fang Shao before, and had a good impression of this "righteous and courageous" young man in Jingzhou.

Fang Shao asked his followers to present a few horses of Shu brocade, and said: "The name of the lord of my family is Mrs. Yang's virtuous and virtuous lady. ”

Xiao Qiao pushed the gift out and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Liu Huang praised it falsely, I'm just a woman's family." Husband, he is not at home, such a generous gift, I dare not accept it. ”

Fang Shao pushed the gift back to her again, and said with a smile: "My lord said that he and Zhou Dudu fought side by side, and they were born and died, and they were already brothers and sisters. These Shu brocades were purchased by him from Xichuan with a lot of money, not for courtesy, but just to talk about brotherhood. ”

If Liu Bei heard Fang Shao's words, he would probably smile bitterly, he was fighting side by side with Zhou Yu, but it was all a twisted melon, you are reluctant and I don't want to, the two sides have a lot of suspicion of each other, if this can be called a brother, then Cao Ying, who treated Liu Bei well back then, should be his twin brother.

It's just that Zhou Yu is on the front line, of course she doesn't have time to tell Xiao Qiao about these things, and Xiao Qiao usually stays at home, and she has to inquire about the gossip outside, so Fang Shao's affectionate words can't help but move her.

Xiao Qiao thought that her husband and Uncle Liu Huang were working together, and they were so intentional, if she categorically refused, wouldn't it destroy the relationship between her husband and others, and then shirked it for a while, and then said politely: "Since Uncle Liu Huang has such a heart, then I have to accept it on behalf of my husband first, and ask Fang Cheng to thank Uncle Liu Huang on his behalf." ”

Fang Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the gift was also given, and the people also saw it, seeing that the time was not early, he got up and said goodbye immediately.

Xiao Qiao said: "Now it's past dinner, it's better for Fang Zhi to stay, I'll call the next person to prepare a banquet to entertain Fang Zhi." ”

Fang Shao hurriedly said: "Shao dare to bother, it's still not necessary." ”

Xiao Qiao smiled: "Actually, I am also selfish, you are on the front line, your husband's recent situation must be very clear, he has not returned home for a long time, and I also want to learn about his recent situation from Fang Cheng by the way." ”

Fang Shao paused for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then Shao might as well be respectful." ”

Xiao Qiao smiled with satisfaction and said, "That party can sit for a while, or walk around casually, and I will come to greet you when the banquet is ready." ”

"Madame, please take care of yourself, leave me alone."

Xiao Qiao went, and Fang Shao was bored sitting alone, so he went around to admire Zhou Yu's mansion. After passing through several corridors, turning a few rockery stone pavilions, and suddenly hearing a few lines of willow forests, I faintly heard the sound of shouting and tearing.

Fang Shao was curious, so he walked through the forest to see what was going on, and turned over a few thick trees, but it turned out that he had arrived at the small school field set up by Zhou Yu's house, but he saw that in the open space, a group of women in red jackets were around, and they were watching the two women wrestling.

When Fang Shao saw this situation, a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, and when he looked closely, he found that Sun Shangxiang was also among them.

"Damn, who would be so bored to wrestle with a group of women, I knew it must be her. Why didn't Xiao Qiao tell me earlier that she was also in the house, forget it, it's better to leave quickly. ”

Fang Shao wanted to slip away, and just after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Which silver thief is peeping, stop me!" ”
