Zhuge Jin changed his voice again and said Sun Shangxiang's words truthfully again.

The more Sun Quan listened, the more angry he became, and shouted: "Nonsense, what nonsense!" This girl is really unreasonable, she has done such a ridiculous thing at this time, how can Lone tolerate her, Zijing, you arrange someone to go to Lukou as soon as possible and forcibly pick her up Lone. ”

Lu Su didn't feel very surprised, and when Sun Quan was too angry, Fang said: "Lord, Miss Sun, her surname is strong, and now she is on someone else's territory, if she doesn't come back, even if we send someone, I'm afraid it won't help." ”

Sun Quan didn't hear what Lu Su meant, his face was still annoyed, and he knocked on the case a few times: "That lonely thing, no matter what, I have to find a way to get her back, my dignified daughter of the Sun family, I have no shame to marry one of Liu Bei's courtiers, spread it, where is the face of my Sun family." ”

Lu Su said: "This matter can't be hidden, and it will eventually become known to everyone, in fact, according to Su's opinion, the lord might as well go with the flow, so it may become a good thing for me Jiangdong." ”

Sun Quan was stunned, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Su smiled slightly: "The lord doesn't know, this Fang Zhongzheng is not an ordinary character, this person is a student of Zhuge Kongming, since the battle of Chibi showed his head and feet, he began to be trusted by Liu Bei, and later he repeatedly offered strange plans for Liu Bei, and now this person is second only to Zhuge and Pang Tong among Liu Bei's ministers, and almost stands side by side with Fa Zheng, Xu Shu and others. It can be said that today's Fang Zhongzheng is no longer the Fang Zhongzheng when he was an envoy to Chaisang. ”

Sun Quan gradually understood a little, and said in surprise: "Zijing, do you want to let Gu follow the meaning of the little sister, and the surname Suo will marry her to the surname Fang?" ”

Lu Su said: "Back then, Fang Zhongzheng, as Liu Bei's envoy, had lived in Jiangdong for a long time, Su guessed, it was at that time that Miss fell in love with this person, otherwise, Miss would not have rejected the good matchmaking made by the lord several times. In this case, why didn't the lord obey the lady's wishes, and also miss the love of brother and sister. ”

Sun Quan's emotions gradually calmed down, but he said disdainfully: "Even if she is thinking about the love of brother and sister, but she wants to marry Liu Bei's courtier, Lone and Liu Bei have a common hatred, so they can't bear it for the time being, and they want to give their sister away, how can you let Gu swallow this breath." ”

Lu Su smiled faintly and said: "The so-called big things, regardless of small things, when the Han Gaozu was in the past, didn't he also have a grudge against the Xiongnu who was besieged by Pingcheng?" Later, it was not a time to marry a daughter and endure it for a while, so that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was prosperous, he had revenge and blood hatred. Now that the lord wants to send troops and horses to deal with Cao Ying, then Jingzhou will inevitably be at a disadvantage, and only by appeasing Liu Bei can he go all out to deal with the Cao army on the eastern front. ”

Sun Quan's advantage is that his position is not clear, his brain is spinning fast, it was originally a matter that seemed to be very embarrassing, but after Lu Su said this, it seemed to be very helpful to the immediate interests, and the string in his head was immediately twisted.

Looking at Sun Quan's cloudy and sunny face, Zhuge Jin on the side was a little unhappy, you know, he can't get rid of this matter anyway, Fang Shao is his brother-in-law in the end, what they are thinking about now is to send another wife to their brother-in-law, who can sit still for this kind of thing.

However, Zhuge Jin was not easy to say clearly, so he had to turn a corner and say: "Lord, Fang Zhongzheng is Liu Xuande's confidant, he will think for Liu Xuande in everything, even if the lord marries the young lady to him, I am afraid that it may not be able to affect his position." Besides, Miss is there, if there is another dispute between the two families in the future, won't Miss become a hostage? When the time comes, the Lord will have scruples. Therefore, this matter is also requested to be decided carefully. ”

Lu Su immediately said: "What Ziyu said is not unreasonable. It's just that at the moment, Miss Sun categorically refuses to return to Wu, the wood is already in the boat, and the lord can only take advantage of the situation, and he is allowed to turn bad things into good things, if not, I am afraid that Miss Sun will not know what will happen, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to end at that time. ”

Sun Quan couldn't understand his own sister-in-law, he stood up, paced back and forth, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his expression became solemn, and then said: "Okay, it seems that at this point, there is only Yizijing's intention, but marrying a sister alone is also a big deal, how can you do it hastily, Zijing, you will send someone to discuss it with Liu Bei." ”

Two days later, the envoys from the Soochow side came to Lukou again, and the two sides agreed on a specific timetable for the withdrawal of troops, and made a more detailed demarcation of the border to ensure that there would be no entanglement over the territorial issue in the future. When the business was done, the envoy of Eastern Wu said something that surprised Liu Bei, Pang Tong and others.

That is, the dignified Wu Hou intends to recruit a son-in-law for his sister, and he also falls in love with Fang Shao, the dazzling star strategist under Liu Bei.

So, after sending the messenger away, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned Fang Shao and informed him of the matter.

"What! Wu Hou wants to marry Miss Sun to me? How is this possible, don't tease me, lord. ”

Fang Shao was extremely surprised, as if he had been struck by lightning in broad daylight, as if he hadn't seen the slightest clue before this incident.

This matter is not a bad thing after all, Liu Bei was just surprised, and said with a smile: "How could I tease you, Zhongzheng, this is what Sun Zhongmou's envoy said personally, this matter is your family affair in the end, and I am not good at making decisions for you, I don't know what you are going to do." ”

Fang Shao hurriedly said: "Shao is the minister of the lord, and Miss Sun is the sister of the lord's ally, this fact is a business matter, Shao Wan does not dare to make an assertion, this is to ask the lord to make an idea for me." ”

Fang Shao did a very smart job and pushed the decision on this matter to Liu Bei, in this way, even if he had to make this marriage as a last resort, it could also be interpreted as "putting state affairs first", he did it out of helplessness, not from his heart.

Of course, Fang Shao is also very reasonable, the marriage issue between the two families involves political interests, and it is reasonable for Liu Bei, the boss, to be in charge.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "This matter should not be rushed, wait for me to think about it for you." ”

Fang Shao knew that Liu Bei was going to discuss with Pang Tong, so he retreated knowingly.

As soon as Fang Shao left, Liu Bei smiled with Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan, you said that this Sun Zhongmou is really interesting, so dignified, he suddenly wants to marry his sister to Zhongzheng, but I don't know what his idea is." ”

Pang Tong sneered and said: "What other ideas can I have, it can't be because Hefei is tight, Sun Quan is in a hurry to send a large army back to help, so he wants to take the opportunity of marriage to consolidate the alliance with the lord, so that he can rest assured that he will withdraw the troops on the western front." ”

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, but said suspiciously: "However, there is no shortage of talented people under my command, but I don't know why Sun Zhongmou took a fancy to Zhongzheng, a person who had already married a wife, and he wanted to send his sister to be a concubine, which I couldn't figure out." ”

Pang Tong smiled strangely and said: "Zhongzheng is suave and suave, with outstanding intelligence, such a handsome man in the world, which young woman is not moved, and Zhongzheng has been an envoy to Dongwu for half a year, and he himself has said that he has an old relationship with that Miss Sun, according to the Tong's opinion, it is most likely that this Miss Sun fell in love with him first." ”

After Pang Tong said this, Liu Bei suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Shi Yuan's words are reasonable, think about it carefully, that Miss Sun has always been obedient to Zhongzheng, it turns out that she has always secretly promised him, so it makes sense." ”

Pang Tong said: "But I don't know how the lord is going to deal with this marriage?" ”

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said: "I want to attack Guanlong first, although the battle of Jingzhou was won this time, but the ultimate goal is to maintain reconciliation with Sun Quan, since Sun Quan intends to marry well, it is also beneficial to both parties, in my opinion, this marriage can be the master of Zhongzheng, I don't know what the military advisor wants." ”

"Hehe, this marriage is indeed a good thing, I think Kong Ming, who is far away in Yizhou, will also be happy, thinking that his brother Ziyu was originally an important minister in Eastern Wu, and now his student has become the sister-in-law of the lord of Eastern Wu, this is really a kiss."

Pang Tong did not answer directly, but suddenly talked about Zhuge Liang, and said that there was no logic. Liu Bei heard it clearly, Pang Tong was hinting to himself, if he agreed to this marriage, then Zhuge Liang would not only be extremely popular among the Jingxiang scholars, but also have an extra layer of relationship with Dongwu, and he was secretly guiding Liu Bei to suppress Zhuge Liang.

"Well, it seems that this matter really needs to be thought about carefully, and you can't act hastily."

Liu Bei did not make a decision on the spot, and after Pang Tong left, he got up and paced in the tent, thinking about the matter again and again.

"Shiyuan is right, Kong Ming has a close relationship with Jingxiang scholars, and more than half of Jingxiang's civil and military affairs are recommended by him, and now if he has this relationship with Sun Quan...... Well, although Kong Ming's loyalty is undeniable, there must be checks and balances. ”

Liu Bei first thought about it like this, and then had the intention of refusing this marriage, but after thinking about it again, he changed his mind.

"Zhongzheng is both Kong Ming's student and his sister-in-law, and the relationship between the two can be described as intimate, but if Zhongzheng is given this marriage, I heard that Naba Ji's surname is arrogant, and after marrying into the family, it will inevitably conflict with Kong Ming's sister, so it will have an impact on the relationship between Kong Ming and Zhongzheng, if the relationship between their master and apprentice is no longer so close, then it is not a weakening of Kong Ming's power, which is also in line with my way of balancing and balancing the royal people."

After weighing it again, Liu Bei's train of thought was clear, a smug smile rose on his lips, and he muttered, "Okay, that's it." ”
