Chapter 113: The Two Heroes

I'm afraid that there are many things that people don't want, and you don't like it but you can't help it.

Liu Bei commented on Sun Shangxiang in a very unceremonious tone, and then suddenly remembered something, so he said casually: "I heard that when you were in Chaisang, you also had some contact with this Miss Sun." ”

Fang Shao was slightly surprised in his heart, it seemed that he was out on an envoy, not that he could completely hide it from Liu Bei's ears and eyes, Fang Shao knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, otherwise he would be uncomfortable. At that moment, Fang Shao saved Sun Shangxiang's life by the way, and later was forced by this eldest lady to teach him to learn wrestling.

Of course, in the process of explaining, Fang Shao tried his best to show his forced and reluctant surname, and said that he did this because he did it for the sake of the overall situation, and he didn't dare to offend this Miss Sun.

In fact, the original intention of Yi Fang Shao was actually the same.

Liu Bei also believed it, and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Zhongzheng, it's hard for you, you did the right thing, although you have been bullied by this Miss Sun, but for the sake of the overall situation, you should be patient for the time being." ”

Fang Shao hurriedly said: "Shao serves the lord, what is his honor and disgrace, the lord is serious." ”

Liu Bei smiled, praised him, and then quipped: "But seriously, Zhongzheng, you can really bear it, if it were me, I might not be able to stand the oppression of a woman like her." ”

Fang Shao smiled secretly in his heart: "Don't say never, maybe it will come true soon." ”

Of course, Fang Shao couldn't say it clearly, so he had to laugh at himself again.

So, after returning to the post house that day, Liu Bei proposed to meet Sun Quan as soon as possible, and Sun Quan did not neglect his ally, and on the second day of Liu Bei's arrival in Dantu, he held a banquet in his military palace to receive him.

Dantu's military palace was only newly built, and it was not as magnificent as Chaisang, but Sun Quan's hospitality made up for this shortcoming, and the wine and food all over the case, the geisha singing and dancing in front of him, and the bells and drums in his ears all created a feeling of being at home.

And Liu Bei's mood hidden under the calm and peaceful atmosphere is undoubtedly uneasy, perhaps after listening to Fang Shao's previous evaluation of Sun Quan, when Liu Bei saw this blue-eyed and purple-haired young man for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a strong fear in his heart, and this jealousy was completely different from when he saw Cao Ying.

Cao Ying is naturally very skillful, but anyone who gets along with him can feel his secretly intimidating and powerful aura, and Sun Quan looks approachable on the surface, and he talks cordially like a friend at first sight, but the city government hidden under the smiling face can't escape Liu Bei's eyes.

After the polite words at the beginning, Sun raised his glass and said: "I have heard that Liu Yuanjun is a hero in the world, and now I finally have the opportunity to see the real face, which is really an honor for Quan." ”

Liu Bei also raised his glass and complimented: "General Sun inherited the ambition of his father and brother, according to Wu Hui, the soldiers used their lives, the people's hearts were attached, and the battle of Chibi was a big defeat for Cao Ying, even if he was prepared, he was protected by the general, and he was a hero, and General Sun was the real hero of the world." ”

Liu Bei had no choice but to put down his figure, took the initiative to show his respect for Sun Quan, and euphemistically admitted his attachment to Sun Quan.

Although Liu Bei's compliments were not polite, but he could be personally praised by Cao Ying as a hero on the same level as him, Sun Quan would still be quite useful in his heart.

"How can he be right, dare to be praised by Liu Yuanjun. In fact, the battle of Chibi relied on the lives of the soldiers, and of course, it was indispensable to the assistance of the envoys. I propose that we reconcile the two families of Sun and Liu for generations, and toast to the brave soldiers who resisted the Cao thief. ”

Liu Bei and Fang Shao, Zhang Zhao and others who accompanied the banquet here all raised their glasses to celebrate, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a small ** for a while.

The banquet lasted for most of the hour, and the occasion on this table was nothing more than praising each other.

After the banquet was dispersed, Sun Quan set up some wine and fruits in the back garden to relieve Liu Bei's hangover on the grounds that he was not having fun, so everyone dispersed, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan had the opportunity to talk alone.

In fact, with Liu Bei's amount of wine, the little wine at the banquet was nothing, but he still pretended to be slightly drunk, and after drinking a few cups of tea, he looked a little sober.

"In the past, when the governor of Zhou was in Jingzhou, he had always been cold to Bei, and Bei thought that it was all General Sun's intention, but now he was treated by General Sun with such courtesy, and Bei knew that the general was really a hospitable person."

Liu Bei began to get to the point, and while praising Sun Quan, he did not forget to sue Zhou Yu first.

Sun Quan took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "Quan has always admired the envoy, and before leaving, Gongjin repeatedly instructed that he must treat the envoy well." But I think it's because of the tight military affairs, so Gong Jin inadvertently snubbed the envoy, and the right to apologize for Gong Jin here. ”

"How dare you dare, Zhou Dudu's talent is peerless, even Cao Ying has sent Jiang Gan to recruit him, a person with such a great talent, some tempers are also normal, how can he be that person with a small amount of energy."

Liu Bei stabbed Zhou Yu again, and after defeating Nanjun, Cao Ying sent Jiang Gan to recruit him, although he was rejected by Zhou Yu's righteous words, but Sun Quan heard this matter in his ears, and naturally he would not treat it as if nothing had happened.

Sun Quan's heart moved slightly, but on the surface, he laughed and said: "Gongjin has always been the most loyal to the grace of my Sun family for three generations, but it's ridiculous that Cao Ying still thinks that he can lure him with profit, which is really humiliating." ”

Liu Bei further said: "Speaking of Cao Ying, although he lost the southern county this time, but he has always been eyeing Jingzhou, although the southern county is taken by the governor of Zhou, Cao Jun is forced out of the Yangtze River, the situation in Jingzhou seems to be very favorable to us, but Bei is still very worried." ”

Sun Quan smiled: "But I don't know what the envoy is worried about? ”

"Although Cao Ying has lost Jingzhou, he still has Xiangyang, and once he calms the hearts of the people of Jingzhou, he will make a comeback sooner or later. At present, what the governor of Zhou urgently needs to do is also to appease the people's hearts, only in this way can he stabilize the southern county and resist Cao Ying's further invasion of the south. It's just that the people of Jingzhou are thinking about the old grudges with Jiangdong, and almost no one goes to serve the governor of Zhou, but they come to the public security to defect to Yu Bei, afraid of colding their people, forcing them to switch to Cao Ying, so they have to accept them. It's just that the public security where Bei lives is a small area, and there is simply not enough land and official positions to house them, so I am worried that in the long run, these people will inevitably turn to Cao Ying, and I am afraid that the situation in Jingzhou will be extremely unfavorable to us at that time. ”

Liu Bei said the words that had been prepared a long time ago, calmly but emotionally, and at this time, Sun Quan understood the true purpose of his trip, and secretly thought: "I said that this surnamed Liu Bei will come to Dantu for no reason, and he will never just pat me on the back and mix my wine and drink, it turns out that he came to ask me for territory." ”
