Chapter 220: Miscalculation
Sun Quan was thinking in his heart, but he didn't dare to stay in Zhou Yu's mansion for long, so he hurriedly fled.
After Sun Shangxiang taught her brother a lesson, she went straight to the back hall to find Xiao Qiao, and when she saw that there was no one in the back hall, she ran into her boudoir again, and when she entered the door, she saw Xiao Qiao grabbing a white silk on the beam, intending to put her neck in.
"Sister, what are you doing!" Sun Shangxiang was taken aback when he heard this, and flew forward to pull Xiao Qiao down.
Xiao Qiao was already full of tears, and choked sadly: "Little sister, let me go and let me die, what shame do I have to live in the world after this insult." β
Sun Shangxiang hugged her hard, and said with good words: "It's all my second brother's fault, what's the matter with you, sister, if you want to hang yourself, it should be him who hangs you, why is your sister." β
Xiao Qiao wiped the tears on his face and sighed sadly: "Lord, even if he is wrong, it is also Lord." β
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, I have forced the second brother to swear an oath, and he will not dare to be rude to your sister in the future." β
Xiao Qiao shook his head and said, "Since the lord has set his sights on me, he will definitely do it sooner or later." Now that you are in fashion to protect me, if you get married and go to Yizhou one day, who else can help me. β
Sun Shangxiang thought about it, and her heart became anxious again, as soon as she remembered the pitiful appearance of Xiao Qiao when she was bullied by Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang's heart was uncomfortable, thinking that if she left by herself in the future, Xiao Qiao would be left alone and pity, and it would be strange not to be bullied by her lustful brother.
Sun Shangxiang thought about it, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sister, since this is the case, then why do you still stay in Jiangdong and fly away." β
Xiao Qiao was stunned and said, "I, an orphan and widow, have no support, where can I escape?" β
Sun Shangxiang smiled mysteriously and said: "You don't have to worry about this, if you really have this intention, sister, I naturally have a way." β
Seeing her so confident, Xiao Qiao's eyebrows couldn't help but flash a little hope.
But it was said that Sun Quan fled from the Zhou Mansion in embarrassment and hurriedly returned to his military mansion, at this time, Gan Ning had been waiting here for a long time.
When Sun Quan heard that Gan Ning was here, he hurriedly dressed up and adjusted his emotions to the mode of the lord, but he only came out to meet him.
"I'd rather see the lord." Gan Ning stepped forward and bowed to the ground to greet him.
"Hehe, Xingba, please get up." Sun Quan smiled kindly, waved his hand to signal him to be exempt, and said: "Xingba doesn't guard Fankou with Zijing, but I don't know why I went back to Jianye?" β
Gan Ning said: "Ning is here, it is Fei Wenwei, the envoy who escorted the king of Hanzhong, who came to Jianye to see the lord. β
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Lone heard that Xuande's envoy was coming, so he hurried back to Jianye. It seems that before this, Zijing and that Fei Wenwei had already met. β
Gan Ning said: "Fei Wenwei stayed in Fankou for a while, and did have a meeting with Lu Dudu, explaining his intention to send an envoy to Soochow this time, so Lu Dudu specially ordered Ning to come to see the lord and state some of his opinions to the lord. β
Sun Quan paused slightly and said, "I don't know what purpose this Fei Wenwei came with, and what Zijing's high opinion is." β
Gan Ning then said: "Fei Wenwei said, the king of Hanzhong wants to make an appointment with the lord to fight Cao Ying on both sides, and then share the world with the lord and share the peace." β
"Divide the world!"
After hearing these four words, Sun Quan's heart couldn't help but move. Thinking that he has been friends with Liu Bei for so many years, whether Liu Bei is under the fence or on his own, he has always cooperated with him under the guise of "Kuang Fu Han Room", and now for the first time, he has put forward the statement of "dividing the world in the middle" in the tone of a hegemon, Sun Quan will of course be surprised.
However, the slogan is very tempting.
Sun Quan's thoughts gradually rose, but his face was silent, and said, "What does that Zijing think about this?" β
Gan Ning said again: "Lu Du Du thinks that now Cao Ying's army is all in Guanzhong, and the southeast line is empty, this is a great opportunity for the lord to lead the army north to attack Hefei, this time, no matter what, to capture Huaisi." β
Sun Quan didn't seem too excited, and said: "Zijing's proposal, it's not that Gu hasn't tried it before, it's just that Hefei is a strong city, and it is difficult for a while, even if it is conquered, it must stay in the army and hold on." At the same time, if Cao Ying returned to the east to help as in the past, wouldn't it be in vain to work for everyone. β
Gan Ning hurriedly said: "This point Lu Dudu also mentioned, he thinks that the current situation is very different from that year. The king of Hanzhong sits on two states, and gets Hanzhong, its momentum is like Zhongtian, and the troops that can be used under his hands are no less than more than 200,000, and this time the battle with Cao Yingzhi is no longer the original small fight, but will be a long and fierce battle to determine the ownership of Guanlong. And the land of Guanlong, for Cao Ying, is far more important than Huaisi. So this time, the time, the right place and the right people are all on my side of Soochow, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. β
Gan Ning's statement made Sun Quan very moved, but he still didn't make a statement, only nodded lightly and said: "I know what Zijing means, but this matter is very important, and it needs to be carefully considered." β
Gan Ning didn't urge Sun Quan, and said: "By the way, I heard that Fei Wenwei is here, and he has to agree with the lord to marry Miss Sun, what Lu Dudu means is that this marriage is better fulfilled as promised." β
Obviously, Lu Su, who was far away in Fankou, had a very accurate grasp of Sun Quan's psychology, knowing that he had agreed to this marriage only under expediency, and now that the crisis in Soochow had been eliminated, he naturally wanted to regret it.
"Well...... "Sun Quan really began to hesitate.
Gan Ning immediately said: "Lu Dudu thinks that now Cao Ying and the King of Hanzhong are at war, if Cao Ying wins this battle, the strength of the King of Hanzhong will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it will inevitably fall back into the same situation as the strength of my Dongwu, and Cao Ying's strength will inevitably be stronger, and at that time, the two weak will resist the one strong, and they will marry and make friends to consolidate the relationship of the alliance." But if this battle is won by the king of Hanzhong, then Guan Long will inevitably belong to Liu, so that the strength of the king of Hanzhong will be comparable to Cao Ying, at that time, my Dongwu will become a weak against two strong, if the marriage contract is violated, it will be all offended by the two strong, this is by no means the way to survive in a weak country. β
It seems that Lu Su has done his homework this time, and he has given full play to his expertise in the overall situation, and his attitude towards Liu Bei is obviously completely different from Lu Meng.
Sun Quan's position is that there is no position, or whichever side is advantageous, which side is his position, of course, this advantage is the best if you can see and touch.
After listening to Gan Ning's statement, Sun Quan's previous position began to change again, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "That Xingba thinks that if Gu takes advantage of Cao Liu's unbreakable fight, how about using troops to capture Jingzhou?" β
Gan Ning's expression only changed slightly, and a little smile appeared between the corners of his mouth, obviously, Sun Quan's idea was also expected by Lu Su, so he said: "Today's Jingzhou is no longer the Jingzhou of the past, first of all, Guan Yu's adjustable soldiers have at least more than 60,000 people, and secondly, important places such as Lukou and Baqiu are all occupied by Guan Yu, and important places such as Jiangling and Gong'an are as stable as Mount Tai. And the Jingzhou army in Lukou, there is Xu Yuanzhi to guard, although this person is not as popular as Zhuge and other non-limelight in recent years, but his strategy and ability to use troops are also in the top few under the king of Hanzhong, there is this person sitting in the east of Jingzhou, I am afraid that it is not easy to deal with. β
Previously, he was actually inclined to take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou because of Lu Meng's words, but now that Gan Ning has such an analysis, it seems that the benefits of going to Hefei are greater, and Sun Quan can't help but fall into contemplation.
After listening to Gan Ning's report, Sun Quan summoned Fei Yi the next time, and this person was indeed as Fang Shao said, with extremely outstanding diplomatic talents.
After meeting Fei Yi, Sun Quan urgently summoned LΓΌ Meng, who was still supervising the construction of the Xuweiwu in Xuweikou, and told him about the situation in Guanlong and Liu Bei's intentions to seek his opinion.
Of course, Lu Meng is a Qingxu is difficult to defend, and he can't sit back and watch Liu Bei sit big, drag him back to the same strength as Dongwu, and so on, in the final analysis, his opinion is still to fight Jingzhou first.
And this time, Sun Quan didn't praise like last time, but asked solemnly: "Ziming, since you suggested fighting Jingzhou first, then Gu has to ask you, what are your chances of defeating Xu Shu in Lukou?" β
"This ......" Lu Meng did not pat his chest and guarantee the ticket like when he attacked Jingzhou for the first time, but he said: "Meng Zi should do his best." β
After hearing this, Sun Quan knew that Lu Meng was not sure of victory, so he thought to himself: "Since there is no certainty of victory, how can I take the safety of Dongwu to let you take risks." Well, it's safer to listen to Zijing. I also took advantage of this opportunity to send my little sister away from afar, lest she accidentally tell this ugly thing one day......"
The news that Sun Quan was ready to fulfill the marriage contract was quickly transmitted back to Chengdu, and on this day, Fang Shao was ordered by Zhuge Liang to inspect the counties around Shu County to do ideological mobilization for the upcoming war.
Zhuge Rong, who was at home, was naturally taken aback when she heard the news for the first time, and rushed to her brother's house in a hurry.
After seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Rong was a belly full of fire, and as soon as she came up, she said sarcastically: "Brother A Liang, you are really clever, it's good now, and finally calculated that Sun Shangxiang to my sister's house." β
Of course, Zhuge Liang knew about this for a long time, he originally estimated that even if Sun Quan didn't plan to break the alliance, he still had to regret this marriage, but he didn't know which tendon Sun Quan had drawn, and he actually agreed to it, which made his previous promise to his sister immediately turn into a floating cloud.
Zhuge Liang was thinking about how to explain to his sister, but he didn't expect her to come so quickly, so he had to smile wryly and said, "Little sister, don't be impatient, this matter is a little different from my brother's expectations." β
Zhuge Rong glanced at him, and said angrily: "You said it easily, and there was a slight discrepancy, I was good, I was still pretending to be generous in front of my husband, and now what do you tell me to do." β
