Zhuge Jin's tone is not so much praising him, but rather a little ironic. As soon as Fang Shao heard his tone, he knew that he had figured out the trap he had played before, and he didn't say anything at the moment, just smiled pretending not to know.

Zhuge Rong obviously didn't hear it, she thought that her brother was praising her husband, so she showed a little pride on her face, and said: "The eldest brother has won the award, and the husband is not as strategic as the eldest brother." ”

Fang Shao also hurriedly followed: "Yes, Shao has a chance in the future, and he has to ask his brother for advice." ”

Zhuge Jin smiled faintly, changed his words, and suddenly said: "Little sister, I have eaten a little too much wine today, you can help me make some sobering soup to clear my brain." ”

"Okay, I'll go and command."

Zhuge Jin is not half drunk now, he is deliberately looking for an excuse to get rid of his sister.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Rong left, Zhuge Jin's kind expression immediately darkened, he stared at Fang Shao, and said coldly: "You and Ah Liang are really amazing, you deceived my brother in the clouds, and was almost fooled by Liu Xuande like this." ”

Zhuge Jin ruthlessly debunked their delaying tactics, judging by Fang Shao's surname on him, this is also reasonable, but Zhuge Jin can say such straightforward words, but he Fang Shao can't.

So, he coughed lightly a few times, and said with a sneer: "Brother, why do you say this, don't we all treat each other with sincerity, and now the lord has even written an IOU, how can it still be called a fool." ”

Zhuge Jin snorted and said, "Do you think that I, Zhuge Jin, will be so stupid as to take this paper IOU back to Jiangdong as if it were a treasure." ”

"Well...... I'm afraid it's really like this, in fact, according to my brother's knowledge, I should have expected such a result when I came to Chengdu to ask for Jingzhou this time. ”

Fang Shao didn't want to tear his face, but he also had to remind Zhuge Jin that no matter what, he and Wu Hou had to accept this unchangeable fact.

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, and said: "Isn't Liu Yuanjun afraid that after my family Wu Hou gets this IOU, he will raise troops in anger to seize Jingzhou?" ”

Zhuge Jin is threatening, Fang Shao is not a trick, and immediately competes with each other: "If Wu Hou really ignores the overall situation and openly uses force against his allies, then I can say responsibly that if Wu Hou wants to forcibly seize Jingzhou, he must raise an army to conquer the country, and if he fails to take Jingzhou within a month, then my lord will lead the people of Yizhou to the east, and then not only to protect Jingzhou, but also to go down the river, but also to directly take Jianye." At that time, Cao Ying will definitely take the opportunity to attack Eastern Wu from Hefei, and what the result will be, with the wisdom of Wu Hou, he should not be able to guess. ”

Fang Shao is a naked threat, and it is time to tell Sun Quan that Liu Bei today is no longer the Liu Bei who lived in Fankou and was protected by his Sun Quan. Now Liu Bei sits in the land of two states, has a wide range of soldiers, and has the momentum of the upper reaches, so he is no longer afraid of the threat of your Sun Quan's force.

Zhuge Jin was shocked by Fang Shao's threat, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, Fang Shao didn't give him a chance to relax, and then said: "If our two families reconcile and attack on the east and west fronts, we can divide Cao's troops, and we have an advantage on both fronts, so we can work together to destroy Cao and the thieves." If our two families fight, then Cao Ying will sit and watch the success or failure, and no matter who wins or loses on both sides, it will inevitably suffer heavy damage. Although our lord is defeated, he can also retreat to Yizhou, Cao Ying cannot attack, and he is bound to attack Wu Hou, who has won a miserable victory. And if Wu Hou is defeated, it will be not to mention, when the army is lost in Jingzhou, Cao Ying raised the army from Hefei to come out, let me ask Wu Hou can still have the luck of the Chibi Battle at that time? ”

In the end, Fang Shao flicked his sleeves and said categorically: "Therefore, if the two families are at peace, they will benefit together, and if the two families fight, Jiangdong will not be far from the catastrophe, which is more important, with the knowledge of Wu Hou and his brother, it should not be impossible to think through it." ”

Fang Shaoyang sprinkled a big call, only choking Zhuge Jin to the point that he had nothing to say, and after a while, his gloomy face suddenly dispersed, and he actually laughed.

This time it was Fang Shao's turn to be confused, but he couldn't guess whether Zhuge Jin's sudden smile was pretentious or had other intentions, and after being stunned for a moment, he also laughed.

When the two were laughing heartily, Zhuge Rong came in with a bowl of decanting soup, and when she saw the two of them like this, she couldn't help but wonder: "Do you two have any joys, why are you smiling so happily?" ”

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Zhuge Jin put on an approving expression at this moment, and said with a smile: "Ah Rong, this husband of yours, I have only heard of his name before, but now I see it, it is indeed a rare talent, you are married to the right person." ”

Zhuge Rong's face suddenly turned red, but when she heard her brother praise her husband like this, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, and she was full of joy.

Zhuge Jin's sudden change, Fang Shao could only regard it as figuring out the overall situation, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother praised it falsely, Shao Wan didn't dare to be." Shao's previous words and deeds are actually for the sake of the overall situation, if you offend your brother, I hope my brother will forgive me. ”

Zhuge Jin sighed: "Each is just its own master, how can I not understand, besides, what you said is indeed the way of the overall situation." It's just that the fundamental interests of the Jiangdong scholars are very different from those of Jingxiang, so this general policy is also different, and not everyone can have such an overall view as you. ”

Zhuge Jin's words were helpless, and it seemed that Fang Shao's previous analysis was not completely unthinking.

Fang Shao said: "Shao has also heard a little about the internal situation in Jiangdong, so I can only ask my brother to see the overall situation and persuade Wu Hou more." ”

Zhuge Jin said: "I eat the Lu of the Sun family, and I think of it as a long-term vision for the Sun family, but my identity is special, and I can't say a lot of words, so I can only do my best." ”

Zhuge Rong came late, I don't know what the two of them are talking about, and asked in a daze: "What is the special identity, what is not good to talk about, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhuge Jin smiled, got up and said, "It's nothing, I'm just discussing the general trend of the world with my good sister-in-law." It's not too early, and my brother will go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible, so I won't bother you little couple. ”

Zhuge Rong also got up hurriedly and said, "Why did the eldest brother leave so quickly, at least it's not too late to drink this sobering soup before leaving." ”

Zhuge Jin caressed his heart and said, "No need, my brother's body is drunk, but he is awake." ”

Zhuge Rong couldn't stay again and again, so he had to send him out with Fang Shao.

At this time, snowflakes drifted again in the night, this situation, and when it was time to say goodbye to relatives, Zhuge Rong couldn't help but feel a little sad, and murmured: "Brother Jin, this farewell, I don't know why my little sister can see you again." ”

Zhuge Jin smiled and said with relief: "Our flesh and blood affection is endless, even if it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, don't worry, he said that he has a time to meet." ”

Then, he turned his gaze to Fang Shao and said, "I hope that Zhongzheng will also make more suggestions to Liu Yuanjun, so as to promote the reconciliation of our two families, and destroy the Cao thief together in the future. ”

Fang Shao's heart suddenly moved, and said: "The so-called heaven is unique, the people are not two, and the future is unpredictable." Now that my brother's relatives are here, why should my brother stay in Jiangdong alone. ”

Zhuge Jin said calmly: "I am treated favorably by the Sun family, just like A Liang is valued by Liu Envoy, and the filial piety of my brother is greater than the loyalty of my ministers." Things in the future, wait for the future, why bother yourself at this time. ”

Fang Shao's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's a 'future thing, let's talk about it in the future', my brother's bearing and mind, Shao Gan bows to the wind, the green mountains are not old, the green water lasts forever, and my brother's trip is cherished." ”

Zhuge Jin didn't say much, only nodded to the two of them, got into the carriage, and soon disappeared into the snowy night.

Zhuge Rong watched her brother leave, and with sadness in her heart, she held her husband's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said melancholy: "Husband, do you think I will be able to see Brother Jin again in the future?" ”

"Yes......"

Fang Shao replied very neatly, but he sighed in his heart: "It's just that when we say goodbye, I'm afraid they will be enemies of each other." ”

When Fang Shao sent Zhuge Jin off at night, in another high-gate mansion in Chengdu, three people with melancholy faces were also talking around the fireplace.

"I have been hiding this good wine in the cellar for more than ten years, and today I took advantage of the snow to take it out and share it with the two of you."

The kind-eyed man looked so excited that he warmed the wine on the stove with his own hands. This person's surname is Wu Mingyi, and his sister was married to Liu Zhang's son, which is Liu Zhang's in-law.

"Ziyuan, when is it, are you still in the mood to drink."

Speaking this name is Fei Guan, the word Bingbo, Liu Zhang married his sister, and this Fei and Wu are also relatives.

Wu Yi didn't seem to hear the anxiety in Fei Guan's words, and said with a faint smile: "It's cold, it's time to drink." ”

"Ziyuan, don't pretend to be indifferent in front of us, now the gang of people who help the wind want to be windy and rainy in front of the lord, we will go out of Dongzhou with them, but the treatment they receive is very different. Ziyuan, you are not afraid, sooner or later, one day, we will be the same as the people of Yizhou, have we become the target of suppression and prevention? ”

The third person who spoke was named Zhuo Ying, who was from Runan, Henan, and Wu Yi was from Chenliu, Henan, and the two were fellow villagers.

Wu Yi's smile retracted, and he sighed: "I also understand your worries, it's just that Fa Zheng and other Fufeng people have made great contributions to the Lord Gong to take Shu, and I have not made an inch of merit, the second is Ji Yu's in-laws, and the third is the Kwantung clan. ”

Fei Guan pondered for a long time, and said: "Ziyuan, you don't have to be discouraged, I expect that although the lord reuses the people who help the wind, but after all, he still relies on the people of Jingzhou, and now the law is waiting for the Shu County Taishou, and the arrogance is very arrogant, I think the lord will not always connive, sooner or later he will find ways to suppress it, I think this is an opportunity that we can take advantage of." ”
