Chapter 448: Persuade Cao Cao to give his daughter Liu Zhang

readx;

When they came to Lu Mansion, Lu Su and Lu Meng began to drink and suppress their fright. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info while drinking and chatting, Lu Meng had admired Lu Su for a long time, and he wanted to vent his heart. Lu Su gradually discovered that Lu Meng was extraordinary, and his words were even more exquisite, so he deliberately made friends. The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and they actually had a sense of confidant. With alcohol on his head, Lu Meng pulled Lu Su into the back hall to meet his mother, and Lu Su readily agreed.

In the Han Dynasty, worshipping one's mother was equivalent to marrying one's mother. Lu Su visited Lu Meng's mother and became more cordial with Lu Meng. The two returned to the front hall and began to mingle again, and the atmosphere in the hall was very strong. Now that he has become a brother, Lu Meng took out all the questions he usually didn't understand for advice, and Lu Su answered them for him one by one, and also put forward a lot of opinions on the construction surname. Of course, controversy is also indispensable, but it opened Lu Meng's eyes.

In the end, both men were drunk, and they fell asleep soundly in the hall. Lu Mengdu, who was excited, put his head on the plate, and muttered in his mouth, as if he was discussing something with the half hoof on the plate. Relatively speaking, Lu Su is much more elegant, although he is also drunk, he sleeps in his clothes and sleeps on the ground. Thanks to the hot climate in Jiangdong, even in winter, it won't be too cold, otherwise the two of them will sleep like this all night, and the cold will be considered light.

"Wake up, sir!" Early the next morning, Lu Su and Lu Meng were still hungovers in the hall, but the two colonels shook them desperately.

"What's the matter?" At the same time, when they opened their eyes and saw that it was their own guard, Lu Meng and Lu Su asked in unison.

"Someone from the Assassin's Mansion is here, please enter the Mansion!" The guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained the situation, Lu Su and Lu Meng immediately got up to change their clothes and rushed to the Thorn Mansion. The two knew that Sun Shangxiang had made up his mind!

In the back hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Sun Shangxiang cried all night. When Lu Su and Lu Meng arrived, she just gently swept the two of them with her red and swollen eyes, and then lowered her head. She understands that she can't blame anyone for what happened to her, only that she is in a big family. Since you can't change your fate, it's useless to anger others.

"Zijing, Ziming, you go back and tell Zhongmou that if you really need Xiang'er to dedicate yourself, you can..." Although she is pampered and well-maintained, she cannot change the aging of her soul, so this aging is even more obvious on her face.

"This..."Lu Su and Lu Meng looked at Sun Shangxiang in surprise, the two of them thought that they would be scratched, but they didn't expect this to be the result. They really didn't understand why Sun Shangxiang's attitude had changed after just one night!

"Mother is right, I agreed!" The lively and happy Sun Shangxiang seems to have matured overnight. Her expression and tone were so cold, which made Lu Meng and Lu Su shiver.

"Miss, you can..." Seeing that Sun Shangxiang's eyes had lost their brilliance, Lu Meng's heart ached, even if he didn't like Sun Shangxiang's surname, he couldn't bear Jiangdong's little princess turning into a walking corpse. But he suddenly remembered Sun Quan's entrustment, so he had to keep his mouth shut!

"Ziming, thank you..."Seeing the look on Lu Meng's face, Sun Shangxiang understood what he wanted to say, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I have offended a lot before, and I invite Ziming Haihan..."

"Miss, I..." Lu Meng's throat twitched twice, and his heart was panicked. He never discovered that Sun Shangxiang also has a gentle and virtuous side. It's just that he found out too late, otherwise, with his ability, as long as he tries his best to please, how can Old Madam Sun be dissatisfied.

This situation can be remembered retrospectively, but it was already clear at the time. Lu Meng felt a trace of remorse in his heart. If he could have pursued Sun Shangxiang at the beginning, maybe Sun Shangxiang would have become his person a long time ago, and now he would not have been forced to marry. It's a pity that no one can predict the future, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who need regret medicine.

"That's it!" Old Madam Sun said: "You go back and tell Zhongmou that as long as it is beneficial to Jiangdong, the Sun family will definitely give it their full support." ”

"Yes..."Lu Su and Lu Meng were stunned and immediately left the Assassin's Mansion. Now that Sun Shangxiang has expressed his position, they have to go back to recover their lives.

At the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, someone had already prepared a fast horse for them, and the two didn't even have time to return home, so they got on their horses and galloped out of the city. Half a day later, the two arrived at the camp at the mouth of the water. Upon learning of Sun Shangxiang's decision, Sun Quan immediately ordered someone to write a letter to Wuwei to let Zhang Hong see the opportunity to act.

Wet Xukou, Cao Jun camp. Not only did Sun Quan receive Zhang Hong's letter, but Cao Ying also received it. One of the letters sent by Zhang Hong was robbed in Jingzhou, and Sima Yi didn't say a word, and immediately sent the letter to Misukou. It's just that the land route is slower than the water route, and the Jiangdong envoys can go down the river, but Cao Ying's people can only speed up the horses.

"Everyone, Liu Jiyu may be going to intervene! What do you guys think? When he received the letter, Cao Ying was shocked, and he immediately called everyone together for a meeting.

"Lord, Liu Jiyu is not a womanizer, how could he force the Sun family to give away his daughter?" Holding the letter, Cheng Yu frowned. As a fierce rival, he once studied Liu Zhang's deeds well. It is undeniable that Liu Zhang is domineering, cruel, and ruthless, but he values love and righteousness, and I have never heard that he is greedy for women.

"Once a person is in a high position, he naturally thinks differently!" Cao Ying sneered: "Now that Liu Zhang has one of the three points in the world, he will naturally have no one in his eyes. ”

"I always felt like it wasn't that simple!" Cheng Yu frowned and said: "With the current situation, Liu Zhang's dispatch of troops is the best choice, he will definitely not give up such a good opportunity for a woman." Besides, if Liu Zhang asks Sun Quan for a woman, he will say it bluntly, why do you need to do so much? Unless that's not his intention! ”

"Zhongde, you're off topic!" Cao Ying said: "I don't care what Liu Zhang thinks, I just want to block his attack and buy time for the capture of Jiangdong." ”

"The lord can rest assured that Xuchang not only has Wen Ruo, but also Lu Bu. As long as Liu Zhang is not a big army to come back, I believe that no one will be able to attack Yanzhou! Cheng Yu said with a smile: "We should discuss now how to break through Jiangdong as soon as possible!" ”

"Break through Koto? Easier said than done! Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "Although our army and Sun Quan have won and lost each other, and their strength far exceeds that of Sun Quan, but just a small river can't be crossed, how can we talk about breaking through Jiangdong?" ”

"Lord, it's not that you can't get by, but the Jiangdong Navy is too powerful, why don't you transfer the Jingxiang Navy here?" Jiang Ji has always been very strange, although the Jingzhou Navy is not as good as the Jiangdong Navy Army, but it can barely fight a draw, but Cao Ying has never thought of using the Jingzhou Navy Army, which is puzzling.

"Alas... Zitong, I don't dare to use my true appearance! Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "The return of the Jingzhou army is short, and the death of the metropolitan governor Cai Mao, no one in the entire Jingzhou army can unite the army's heart at all." In such a situation, the Jingzhou Navy is scattered on the side, what is the use? If you look at this information, you will know my concerns! ”

"This..."Jiang Ji took a look at the information in Cao Ying's hand, and was stunned for a moment, he asked in disbelief: "Zhang Yun surrendered, and most of the Jingzhou army fled?" ”

"Sima Zhongda was going to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, who knew that the chicken ran away, and let him fold a handful of rice!" Cao Ying said helplessly: "Just one Zhang Yun can actually pull away most of the Jingzhou army, God knows if they will fight against the water for some reason." I don't want to be stabbed by my own people when I am fighting with the enemy. ”

Everyone was a little stunned, they really didn't expect that Zhang Yun would have so much energy! Cheng Yu asked a little puzzled: "Prime Minister, things won't be so simple, with Sima Yi's wisdom, how could there be such a mistake?" Besides, there are so many generals in Jingxiang, why did Sima Yi use Zhang Yunlai [***]? ”

"Rights, origins!" Cao Ying sneered: "Among the generals in Jingzhou, only Zhang Yun was born in a poor family and has no backers, but there are tens of thousands of troops under his command, Sima Yi is so powerful, how can he not do it?" It's a pity that Zhang Yun is not stupid, and before Sima Yi had time to make a move, he surrendered! Zhang Yun's surrender made Sun Ce laugh to death, and the Jiangdong army changed from 50,000 or 60,000 horses to 1560,000! ”

"Something is wrong!" Cheng Yu frowned and said: "Sima Yi is just a person temporarily sent to Jingzhou by the prime minister, even if he wins the military power, which general will command him?" If there was no such person, wouldn't Sima Yi be busy in vain? Lord, you must pay attention to the generals of Jingzhou, and don't let them collude with Sima Yi! ”

"Don't worry!" Cao Ying sneered; "How can the prime minister not know that Sima Yi is very ambitious? As long as he is out of line, his appearance will turn a blind eye, if he is out of line, his appearance has his own backhand! ”

Listening to Cao Ying's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to external enemies, internal enemies are more troublesome, mainly because the concealed surname is too strong. Xun You said with a smile: "Since the prime minister is on guard against Sima Yi, we can deal with Liu Zhang with peace of mind!" Prime Minister, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not! ”

"Say!" Cao Yu still trusts Xun Yu's wisdom very much, he is just a little dissatisfied with Xun Yu's heart to the Han family. Over the years, due to Sima Yi's methods, even Xun Yu has lost confidence in Liu Xie. As long as Cao Ying does not usurp the throne, Xun Yu is too lazy to participate anymore. As a result, the relationship between the Xun family and Cao Ying was slowly repaired, and the relationship between Xun Yu and Cao Ying seemed to have returned to the past.

Xun You smiled and asked, "Since Jiangdong can ask Liu Zhang to send troops, why don't we ask Liu Zhang to divide Jiangdong?" ”

"Go on!" Cao Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, he didn't want to ask Liu Zhang to carve up Jingzhou, but wanted to delay Liu Zhang's time to send troops. If Liu Zhang sent troops from Yizhou to Jiangdong, it would definitely take more time than sending troops to Yanzhou.

"My suggestion may be abrupt, don't blame it!" Xun Yu said: "According to what the prime minister said, Liu Zhang has been carried away by victory, so he asked Jiangdong for a woman. We can also meet his requirements! I remember that the prime minister had three daughters, the eldest daughter was married to His Majesty, and the younger daughter was sixteen years old, gentle and virtuous, and must be more popular with men than the concubines of Jiangdong. Champion Hou Xiong is as fierce as fire, if he is a good woman, who do you think he will choose? ”

"This..."Cao Ying hesitated, not because he cared about a daughter, but because he was worried about the viable surname of this matter, he frowned and asked, "Gongda, how sure are you about this matter?" ”

"It's not very sure, after all, I don't know Liu Zhang!" Xun You said with a smile: "But if the prime minister marries a daughter to Liu Zhang, there will be no harm in it!" To put it mildly, even if you are doing a fine job, you can listen to more news! ”

"Gongda, Benxiang and Liu Zhang are old enemies, Benxiang's daughter, how dare he?" Cao Ying smiled and shook his head, in the final analysis, he was still unwilling to show weakness in front of Liu Zhang, let alone admit that he was inferior to Liu Zhang.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, with Liu Zhang's surname, as long as you are willing to give it, he must!" Xun You understood Cao Ying's mood, but he didn't plan to give up.

Seeing Xun You's insistence, Cao Ying took a deep breath and said: "This matter will be discussed here, and the decision will be made after careful consideration by the prime minister!" Everyone is scattered! ”

"Yes!" Everyone retreated, leaving only Cao Ying alone in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"The prime minister is here, Cheng Yu asks to see him!" After a long time, just as Cao Ying was about to make up his mind, a voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in!" Cao Ying frowned, he knew Cheng Yu's intention, but he was a little displeased.

"See the Prime Minister!" When Cheng Yu entered the big tent, he saw Cao Ying's brows tightly locked, and his eyebrows were almost connected. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Is the prime minister still having a headache about Liu Zhang's sending troops?" ”

"Knowingly ask!" Cao Ying rolled his eyes and said, "Zhongde, I know you agree with Gongda's opinion, but if Benxiang really does that, where do you let Benxiang's face go?" ”

"Prime Minister, compared with the face of the Han Dynasty, which is more important?" In the face of Cao Ying's many complaints, Cheng Yu smiled indifferently and blocked him back with just one sentence.

"Of course it's important!" Cao Ying gritted his teeth and said: "If we can defeat Liu Zhang, it is nothing to lose some face, but even if we give our daughter to Liu Zhang, we can't defeat him!" ”

"It's a big difference, it's because we can't beat Liu Zhang that we want to give our daughter to him. If the prime minister can win against him, what does it matter if he sends his daughter or not? Cheng Yu asked rhetorically: "In Liu Zhang's current form, does he need to send his daughter to the prime minister or Jiangdong?" ”

"Zhongde, if you have something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush!" Cao Ying heard it, and Cheng Yu had something to say. These strategists just don't like to go straight to the point, and they have to be tried to understand.

"Lord, do you have the confidence to defeat Liu Zhang?" Cheng Yu did not answer Cao Ying's question, but stared at Cao Ying with blazing eyes and asked.

"Nope!" Seeing the seriousness of Cheng Yu's question, Cao Ying also said very seriously: "With the strength of our army, if we fight with Liu Zhang, we will not be able to grasp the victory at three levels!" ”

"Don't worry about winning, think about defeat first, what if the prime minister loses?" Cheng Yu said: "Every time the family is in turmoil, they will let the children of the clan serve different princes to protect the family. This is also the reason why Jiangdong has a dead face and has to give his daughter to Liu Zhang. Sun saw that Liu Zhang had a great chance of unifying the world. In order to avoid the family being killed, the Sun family had to give away their daughter! Maybe one Sun Shangxiang can't turn the tide of the battle, but she can save a trace of Sun's blood! ”
