Sun Shangxiang threatened his brother with death again, this bad idea was given to her by Fang Shao the last time Sun Quan asked her to marry Liu Bei, and at that time Sun Quan was indeed fooled.

However, what kind of person is Sun Quan, after looking back and thinking about it carefully, he guessed that this was her sister who deliberately wanted to play for him, otherwise he would have been hanged directly when there was no one, why make such a big fuss, and only put his neck in the rope when he arrived at the scene.

With the lesson of the last time, Sun Quan was not fooled this time, he flicked his sleeves at the moment, and said coldly: "Little sister, you are a three-year-old child as a brother, can you easily fool you." The reason why I gave in for my brother last time was because you were still young, and now that you are a big girl, this time you have to get married, so don't think about using the trick of the child who wants to die or live anymore. ”

Sun Quan was so resolute, it seemed that he was iron-hearted this time, Sun Shangxiang saw that this plan did not work, and immediately panicked, not knowing what to do.

Sun Quan didn't want to talk to her more, so he turned around and said: "I still have business to deal with, so don't bother me here, go home and prepare by yourself, wait to pick a zodiac auspicious day, and the Gu family will come to the door to propose marriage." ”

Sun Quan turned his back to her, obviously not wanting to say more, Sun Shangxiang hated and aggrieved, and in desperation, he could only leave with a sense of resentment.

After leaving the military mansion, Sun Shangxiang's anger had nowhere to vent, that is, he rode a horse in Jianye City and galloped like the wind, running from the east of the city to the west of the city, and from the west of the city to the south of the city.

After galloping wildly for more than half an hour, Sun Shangxiang was already tired, so he had to slow down his horse and follow the horse at will.

Unconsciously, she came to a remote street, and suddenly remembered that the Zhou family's mansion was near here, and she was so depressed that there was nowhere to go, so she could talk to Sister Xiao Qiao.

So, she drove her horse to the front of the Zhou family's mansion. The former governor of the Eastern Wu Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is now no longer as lively as it used to be, the iron nails on the door of the mansion have seen the traces of embroidery, and when the wind blows, the plaque still falls a piece of dust from time to time.

"Little sister, why are you here?"

Xiao Qiao's haggard face showed a bit of surprise, as if he was quite surprised by Sun Shangxiang's arrival, and hurriedly took her hand into his boudoir.

used to be Xiao Qiao, what a flower and moon appearance, even if he is a wife, even Sun Shangxiang, a Tingting girl, is ashamed of herself. But when I saw her now, I found that she was much older, and the fish lines at the corners of her eyes ruthlessly revealed the cruel reality of her passing beauty.

At this time, it has only been two years since Zhou Yu's death, but Xiao Qiao has aged so much, which is thought to be caused by excessive thinking about her husband.

"Sister, I haven't come to see you in a few months, why are you so old?" Sun Shangxiang asked distressedly, forgetting his sadness for a while.

Xiao Qiao's face was as flat as water, and he only smiled: "When people get old, they will naturally get old, what's so strange about this." ”

Although Xiao Qiao's expression was indifferent, Sun Shangxiang knew the pain in her heart, thinking that when Zhou Yu first died, Xiao Qiao washed her face with tears every day, and under the sadness, she also had several serious illnesses, if it weren't for a few young children, I was afraid that she would not be able to hold on for a long time and followed Zhou Yu.

Sun Shangxiang had no choice but to comfort: "Sister, Brother Gongjin has been gone for so long, you better be more relaxed, after all, you are still so young, and you still have a long time to pass in the future." ”

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, moved and surprised, and said: "Little sister, I didn't expect you to care about people anymore, my sister hasn't seen you for a long time, and it seems that you have grown up a lot." ”

When the topic shifted to herself, Sun Shangxiang immediately remembered her troubles again, and the melancholy was immediately written all over her face, and she didn't answer, just shook her head and sighed bitterly.

Xiao Qiao was understanding, and Sun Shangxiang's sad expression was undisguised, she immediately knew that she must have something on her mind, so she said: "Little sister, do you have something on your mind, you might as well tell my sister." ”

Sun Shangxiang told Sun Quan about forcing her to marry, and then told Sun Quan that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he didn't even care about his sister's life or death.

After listening to her vent with her surname, Xiao Qiao smiled and said: "I heard that Gu Xiaoze is indeed talented and beautiful, and he is a child of the Gu family. ”

"I don't want to, I just don't want to, I just don't want to get married!" Sun Shangxiang didn't know how to explain it, so she could only express her inner dissatisfaction in such a manic way.

The corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth raised slightly, smiled a little strangely, took her hand, and said in a low voice: "Little sister, you tell the truth to your sister, you are so reluctant to marry, it is because you still think about that person in your heart." ”

Xiao Qiao and her are good sisters, and Sun Shangxiang is a straight surname, when she said some boudoir words before, although she didn't say it explicitly, but only that few words, with Xiao Qiao's intelligence, she naturally listened to ** not far from ten.

Sun Shangxiang was euphemistically exposed by Xiao Qiao, and couldn't help but feel dizzy, and hurriedly said: "Sister, what are you talking nonsense, I don't care about anyone in my heart." ”

Xiao Qiao's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "You still lie to my sister, if you don't think of him, you will refuse the family affairs arranged by Wu Hou several times, how could you secretly go to Jingzhou to play without Wu Hou before." Actually, your heart was taken away by someone when he taught you what judo, yes and no. ”

Xiao Qiao's vision is very delicate, in fact, the woman's mind is the most sensitive, over the years, Sun Shangxiang and Fang Shao's previous bits and pieces, she saw it in her eyes, remembered it in her heart, and strung together the old things, so she naturally easily came to a conclusion, but Sun Shangxiang always thought that her sister was in the dark.

Sun Shangxiang is not the kind of pretentious woman, now that Xiao Qiao's words are conclusive, she will no longer twist and pinch to death and refuse to admit it, so she blushed and raised her head and said: "That's right, I'm just thinking about him, I can't pretend to be others in my heart for a long time, sister, you say, the second brother has to let me marry someone else, how can I agree!" ”

This is the first time in many years that Sun Shangxiang has admitted his feelings to the second person, and after saying it, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Xiao Qiao's expression dimmed instead, and he sighed: "Little sister, that Fang Zhongzheng is indeed a rare strange man in the world, but you are the daughter of the Sun family, and he is the courtier of the Liu family, even if the status between them is not far from each other now, but after all, they are different people, you think of him like this, I am afraid that there will be no result after all." ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't expect Xiao Qiao to pour cold water on her, so she said unhappily: "What's the difference, aren't the Sun and Liu families an alliance, didn't the second brother also want to use me to marry before, he used to have a low position, but now he is Liu Xuande's important minister, isn't this also the right one." ”

Xiao Qiao shook his head and said, "Little sister, there are some things you still don't understand. Although the two families of Sun and Liu are called alliances, Wu Hou has always been obsessed with Jingzhou, and sent people to ask for it several times, and Liu Xuande always refused to return it, the relationship between the two families has actually become very unreliable, I think sooner or later I will tear my face and fight to the death for Jingzhou. Think about it, will Wu Hou marry his sister to someone who will become his enemy sooner or later? ”

Xiao Qiao is Zhou Yu's widow in the end, and she can see the fragile surname of the Sun and Liu alliances clearly, but these few words also made Sun Shangxiang break out in a cold sweat.

It seemed that she also felt despair, and sat there for a while, muttering sadly: "Then what can I do, I don't want anyone but him, I'd rather die than marry someone else......"

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's infatuation, Xiao Qiao seemed to empathize, was silent for a long time, and said: "I can't imagine that little sister you are so affectionate and righteous, it's really rare." Little sister, if you really have that person in mind, then you should go to him. ”

Xiao Qiao's words woke Sun Shangxiang up, her heart shook suddenly, and she said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, as long as I leave, the second brother will be helpless against me, and how can he force me to marry those messy people again." Sister, thank you for this great idea for my little sister. ”

Xiao Qiao showed a relieved smile on his face, but he sneered in his heart: "Sun Zhongmou, you forced my husband to death, and I can't let you take advantage of it, this can be regarded as a little revenge on you by a weak woman." ”

Thousands of miles away, in the capital of Chengdu, a confidential military meeting is underway.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jingzhou has reported that Dongwu seems to be secretly increasing troops to Lukou, and Lu Meng and other generals seem to have been frequently in contact with Jianye and Lukou recently, Yun Chang's letter is very clear, all kinds of signs are showing that Dongwu is very likely to use force against Jingzhou, what do you think about this."

Pang Tong snorted and said, "Sun Zhongmou, this kid, must have lost money on the Eastern Front, so he turned around and wanted to find compensation in Jingzhou." Lord, I thought that Yun Chang's information was accurate, and Sun Quan was indeed preparing to turn his face, so we had to make plans as soon as possible. ”

Fa Zheng also said: "Jingzhou is a critical place, and there must be no loss." According to the correct view, the actions of the Hanzhong side can be temporarily slowed down, and now the plan is that the lord should transfer more troops to Jingzhou as soon as possible, and if Eastern Wu dares to attack, he must resolutely crack down. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "The two of you are reasonable, so should I personally lead an army back to Jingzhou?" ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang said: "There are at least 50,000 soldiers who can fight in Jingzhou, and if Dongwu is not a soldier who can raise the country, then there are only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses that can be transferred in Jingzhou, so there is no need to worry." According to Liang's opinion, the lord should also sit in Yizhou and concentrate his energy on Hanzhong, as for Jingzhou, he can not send a general, lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and return to the aid with great fanfare, so as to strengthen the momentum. If Dongwu still insists on using force, we only need to guard the key points, hold on to it, and within ten months, Cao Ying will inevitably take the opportunity to attack when he sees a gap on the western front, and then Dongwu will not dare to fight on two fronts, so he will naturally retreat. ”

Zhuge Liang's analysis was unanimously agreed by Pang Tong and others, and Liu Bei saw that Fang Shao had been silent, so he asked: "Zhongzheng, I don't know what you think." ”

Fang Shaocai spoke: "The opinion of the military advisor and others Shao Shen thinks so, but Shao thinks that if Dongwu dares to use force this time, then we must let them pay some price and let him know how powerful we are, otherwise they will be disdainful of our army's combat strength. ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Of course, it would be good to teach the Wu army a lesson, but the Wu people's water war is unparalleled in the world, if you want them to pay the price, you must have a water war with them, but I am afraid that even if General Guan is quite good at controlling the water army, he may not be able to break the Wu people's water army." ”

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Fang Shao's mouth, and he said, "Actually, Shao has a way, maybe he can break the Dongwu Naval Army." ”
