Liu Bei also quickly came back to his senses.

Guan Yu is the general who sits in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, if they get married, what will happen to him, the general Zuo? Even if Guan Yu is loyal to him, Guan Yu's disobedience is obvious, in the future, if he dies before Guan Yu and his son Liu Chan inherits his career, can Guan Yu still be loyal to him? If he has something else on his mind, who can restrain him?

Liu Bei let out a cold sweat, he looked at Fazheng, but Fazheng was ashamed and annoyed, and didn't speak for a long time. Liu Bei had no choice but to turn his gaze to Zhuge Liang again: "Then according to Kong Ming's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"General Guan's loyalty can be learned from the moon, but it can't avoid that others will have ideas, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the good story between the lord and General Guan will have twists and turns." Zhuge Liang said euphemistically: "The minister thinks that he must choose a candidate who will not arouse the suspicion of others to marry." What's more, Sun Deng is still a child, and it is indeed not suitable to marry the daughter of General Guan. ”

"That'...... Which one is more suitable? Liu Bei stroked the beard under his chin, and his fingers tapped up and down on the case.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, and retreated with his head down. Fa Zheng rolled his eyes for a while, but laughed: "Lord, I think of a person." ”

Liu Bei turned his head to look at him.

"Sun Shao." Fa Zheng smiled a little proudly: "Kong Ming's worry just now is very reasonable, General Guan really can't marry Sun Deng, but it is just right to marry Sun Shao." He raised his hand and snapped off a finger: "First, Sun Shao and Guan Feng are the same age, and they look like talents, this time I met with General Guan in Xiangyang, and I am more literate and martial, and Guan Feng is also quite compatible, General Guan will definitely not object." Second, Sun Shao's identity is special, and Sun Quan will definitely not let him lead the troops, which can avoid the suspicion of others. Third, if Sun Quan does not agree, then I am not responsible, and Jiangdong people will also think that he treats Sun Shao too much, hurts benevolence and righteousness, and his reputation will inevitably be damaged. After the two sides reconciled, he must have some scruples, and he can't follow the mistakes of Mrs. Sun and give people a handle. ”

At the mention of Sun Shangxiang, the corners of Liu Bei's eyes twitched involuntarily a few times, in those years, he was frightened by Sun Shangxiang, a fierce woman, and he had psychological sequelae. He thought about it and felt that what Fa Zheng said was quite reasonable, and more importantly, if Sun Shao was really as Fa Zheng said, then Guan Yu's pass would be much better, otherwise he really wouldn't be sure to make Guan Yu obedient.

"Can Sun Shao really do it?"

"What filial piety said is very true, and the minister also thinks that Sun Shao is feasible." Zhuge Liang patted Fazheng's ass at the right time, and then said: "Sun Shao can't lead troops in Jiangdong, and now he can only run the wine industry to support himself." However, his wine is quite a bit said. ”

"What does wine say?" Fa Zheng pulled back a game, he was in a good mood, and when he saw that Zhuge Liang said carefully, he asked with a smile: "Is there any secret to this wine?" ”

"Filial piety is really not easy to say, and there must be a middle out." Zhuge Liang smiled and took out a few secret reports from his arms and sent them to Liu Bei: "This is the news sent back by the spies in Jianye, Sun Quan built a workshop in Jianye, and sent Mrs. Sun to lead the guards with troops, and no idle people are allowed to enter, and the people inside cannot come out casually." They also bought some supplies, here's the list. ”

Liu Bei looked at the list and couldn't help laughing: "Is he making wine or alchemy, how can I look at these materials that seem to be alchemy?" ”

Fa Zheng took it and took a look, and his face became serious: "In this way, it is indeed suspicious." If it's just wine, why make it so mysterious? Kong Ming, is this wine related to Sun Shao? ”

"Exactly." Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly: "The recipe for this wine is offered by Sun Shao." Moreover, Sun Shao himself was also selling wine, and he had agreements with thirteen counties, so he received six hundred and fifty gold a year. Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright, he looked shrewd and capable, and he was very different from his usual gentleness: "The minister estimated that the scale of Jianye's winery was dozens of times larger than Sun Shao's own winery, enough to supply the entire Jiangdong region, if he made new wine like Sun Shao's own workshop, then where did he make so much wine and sell it?" Why did Sun Shao take the initiative to supervise the production himself, and he was not worried about being affected at all? ”

"There are ghosts." Liu Bei and Fa Zheng said in unison.

"Therefore, the minister suggested asking General Guan to marry his daughter to Sun Shao, maybe it may be possible to help us get this secret." Zhuge Liang finally came to a conclusion, staring at Liu Bei without blinking, undisguised his urgency. He fell in love after hearing the news of Jianye Distillery, this time Sun Shao came to Chengdu, he thought of this idea at once, and now he first denied Fazheng's idea, and then took advantage of the situation to throw out his own idea, if Liu Bei adopted, then his status in Liu Bei's eyes will change, not the current military general who is not embarrassed or embarrassed.

People are always curious, although Liu Bei didn't know what this new wine was for, but Sun Quan was so mysterious, he was suddenly interested, and he couldn't wait to know what he was doing immediately. Fa Zheng is a smart person, he knows Sun Quan very well, Sun Quan can spend such a big price to do this, then this matter must be worth exploring, and although he has a general friendship with Zhuge Liang, he also knows that Zhuge Liang is also a smart person, he is so attentive, there must be a reason to be attentive.

As soon as the three of them discussed, they immediately settled the matter.

Zhang Cheng received Zhuge Liang's decision, but there were not too many surprises, but after hesitating for a while, he said that Sun Quan's original intention was Sun Deng, and now it has been replaced by Sun Shao, and he is not good at making decisions without authorization, so he needs to ask Sun Quan for instructions. This comes and goes, and it will take nearly two months, I'm afraid it won't be concluded until the end of the year, in order to save time, please also discuss it with Guan Yu first, if he agrees, as soon as Sun Quan's permission arrives, they can be hired.

Zhuge Liang didn't say a word, and immediately agreed. He said to Zhang Cheng with confidence, don't worry, this matter is good for both parties, and Sun Quan will definitely agree. Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, it is good for both parties, but it is not good for Sun Shao, if Sun Shao really has no ambition, then it is okay, if he is not as willing to be indifferent as he said, and still wants to lead the troops, then this time he will be trapped - he married Guan Feng, no matter how Sun Quan suppresses him, no one will say anything.

Sun Shao still looked like he didn't care, he just felt that this matter was a little too smooth, he was still thinking about how to move the flowers, Liu Bei took the initiative to fulfill him, he didn't expect that the new wine that he thought was top secret had aroused Zhuge Liang's suspicions.

Jiangdong's envoys went down the river and immediately rushed back to Jianye, and Liu Bei's envoys also set off at the same time and rushed to Jingzhou to ask Guan Yu's opinion. Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao had nothing to do, so they walked around Chengdu. Zhang Cheng was interested in learning, he went to visit a university scholar like Xu Jing, but Sun Shao was interested in the market, and he ran to Chengdu whenever he was free. The scale of Chengdu is larger than that of Wu County, and there are many items that are unheard of in Wu County, and with lacquerware as the crown of the world, Sun Shao naturally can't come in vain.

On this day, Sun Shao came back from Chengdu, Qiao Yue behind him was holding all jewelry, Shuai Zeng carried a set of lacquerware, and several other entourages were not empty, the master and servant were strolling around the street, and saw Zhuge Liang's carriage head-on. Zhuge Liang smiled as soon as he saw Sun Shao, he glanced at the lacquerware in Shuai Zeng's hand and smiled: "Captain Sun likes Chengdu's lacquerware?" ”

Sun Shao laughed: "Yes, the quality of the coffins in Chengdu is much better than that in Wu County." ”

"It's not the best." Zhuge Liang invited Sun Shao into the car, and said with a smile: "The best ones are all official works, they used to be used by the palace in the palace, but now Your Majesty is held hostage by Cao Ying, and you can't enter the palace, and the craftsmen can't support themselves, so they flow out." ”

Sun Shao's eyes lit up, this royal thing must be a good thing, if you can make a few sets and bring it back, it will be a lot of style.

"How can it be sold?"

"It's not for sale." Zhuge Liang turned his head and glanced at Sun Shao, and said, "If Captain Sun wants, we might as well make a deal, and it doesn't hurt to give you a few sets." ”

Sun Shao instinctively became vigilant, but he smiled as usual and looked at this almost demonic wise man in the later generations: "What deal does the general want to do?" ”

Zhuge Liang avoided talking about it: "Liang wants to ask the captain, if the family affair is completed, what do you want to use as a dowry?" ”

"Dowry?" Sun Shao smiled: "Didn't you show it to the general?" ”

"Those...... I'm afraid it's not enough. Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Shao with a three-point smile: "General Zuo and General Guan have a deep affection, if General Guan marries a daughter, General Zuo will definitely reward him a lot, your dowry is for General Guan, but not for General Zuo." ”

"What does General Zuo want?" Sun Shao asked silently.

"Wine." Zhuge Liang stared intently at Sun Shao's eyes: "The new wine of Jianye's workshop." ”
