Zhu Jiao wanted to give Yuan Shangsai hostages, which made Yuan Shang a little surprised, according to reason, although he is currently Zhu Jiao's ally, but after all, it is not a relationship under the pressure above, the two are far apart, and if you think about it, there is no need to do so.

So what is Zhu Jiao's intention in doing this? Yuan Shang couldn't figure it out for the time being, since he couldn't figure it out, there was no need to fully accept it, after all, after so many years, with the growth of ability and experience, Yuan Shang likes to put everything in his hands, once some things are beyond his understanding and control, then those benefits Yuan Shang would rather not.

"Zhu Cave Master, who is with whom you and me, and what hostages are you sending? It's too out-of-the-box! Yuan Shang smiled and waved his hand.

Zhu Jiao touched the white beard like a steel needle on his chin, shook his head and said: "I don't see the outside, I don't see the outside, the matter of sending hostages is the sincerity of this king, and I ask the general not to refuse." ”

Yuan Shang shook his head vigorously and said, "If I accept this hostage, it will be clear that I can't trust the Lord of the Great Cave, how can the alliance not trust each other?" If you don't take this hostage, you can't take it. ”

Zhu Jiao was anxious, and hurriedly said: "No, you must accept it!" ”

"If you don't accept it, you just don't accept it!"

"Close!"

"No!"

"Close!"

"No ......"

“…………”

Watching these two people push me to pull the big saw in this area, Sima Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny.

There are still two people like this in the world, one must give each other hostages, and the other is resolutely not! What kind of donkey temper is this? It's really evil.

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, and said, "Zhu Wang, please forgive me for the next question, I don't know who you plan to use as a hostage?" ”

When Zhu Jiao heard this, he said with a smile: "It's the little daughter of this king, the one who offered wine to the two of them." ”

"It's her......" Sima Yi's jaw sank when he heard this. As soon as his eyes rolled, he instantly understood Zhu Jiao's true meaning, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"It's a matter of importance, and it's easy to arouse the sincerity of mutual cooperation between the two sides, it's not decided for the time being, I wish the cave lord might as well be like this, I will go back with the general and discuss it with the ministers, and then make a decision, do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Jiao saw that Sima Yi responded for Yuan Shang, although he didn't agree. But finally stopped refusing directly, nodded and said, "Then let's do this first, and ask the general and Mr. Sima to make a decision as soon as possible after they go back, and give the old man a letter." ”

The three of them chatted casually a few more words, and Yuan Shang and Sima Yi immediately took their leave, returning to their camp.

On the way, Yuan Shang asked Sima Yi: "Zhu Jiao sent hostages to me, but his meaning is unknown." I'm too lazy to pay attention to him, why did you leave him alive yourself? ”

Sima Yi smiled: "Because I know what kind of calculation that dead old man has in his heart!" ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and then asked what he meant.

But he saw Sima Yi and said: "In our Middle Earth, although the status of women is not high. But because of their background, there is still room for turnaround, but if they are placed in a almost uncivilized place like Nanban, these women are like pigs and sheep. Let people buy and give each other away. ”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then what does this have to do with the old man giving his daughter as a hostage?" ”

Sima Yi said hey, "It's a big deal." Don't look at Zhu Rong is the daughter of the god of fire cave master, when it comes to the status in his father's heart, I'm afraid it's not too high, compared with Zhu Jiao's other son, but it's too bad, with Zhu Jiao's mind, he must feel that his daughter has a bit of color, you might as well give it to the general in the name of proton, if you are lucky in the future, maybe you can also give the general a concubine, and contact the emotions of the two families, isn't it beautiful? Even if it is broken in the future, his daughter's status in his heart is not heavy, even if you are slaughtered, he will not feel distressed. ”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and said: "I see, but this old man thinks that it is a little too much, no matter how his girl looks, every lady in my family is taller than her, and I don't mean this at all, it seems that he is doing this too much." ”

Sima Yi said: "I'm just perfunctory for the lord, and when the recruitment starts in a few days, he can't remember this matter, so he naturally can't do it." ”

****************************

A few days later, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, arrived in person, accompanied by Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang.

In the middle of the camps in Wulin, after several days of repeated arrangements and arrangements by the people of Dongwu, a huge martial arts arena has been located and formed, and the main place for martial arts competitions and relatives is in this martial arts arena.

As for the content of the competition, it is still a mystery, I don't know if it is a simple martial arts competition, or a martial arts training, or poetry and songs? However, among the various families, most of the contestants are top masters in literature or martial arts, and there is no shortage of excellent all-rounders in both civil and military affairs, so they are quite confident in the content of the competition.

On the first day of recruiting relatives, the people of all departments and the people of the Dongwu main meeting can finally meet in this martial arts arena today.

The first day was overcast, but there was no wind or rain, only slightly overcast and quite dry.

The whole field covers an area of dozens of square feet, in the middle of the martial arts school field, next to the base to the flag platform, the flag covers the sun, the drum horn shakes the sky, the family and horses have come, you look at me, I stare at you, each is full of momentum, all are not without the tendency to admit defeat.

Among the teams of the various fronts, the most powerful are the Yuan delegation from Hebei, the Liu delegation from Xichuan in Jingzhou, and the local delegation from Soochow.

followed by the Jiaozhou Shijia delegation, the Wuling Wuxi Shamoke delegation, the Nanzhong Mengshu delegation, the vulture bone delegation, the Mulu King delegation and so on............

As for the remaining idle clouds and wild cranes, there is no need to generalize about the miscellaneous families of the Wang clan.

After the families stood still in the field, it didn't take long to see Sun Quan, the head of the organizer this time, under the support of a group of elite cronies, strode onto the high platform, followed by a young woman, dressed in a pink cotton gauze robe, like a hibiscus out of the water, the end is beautiful and extraordinary, naturally Sun Shangxiang is undoubted.

Sun Quan strode to the stage, arched his hand at the people of all parties, and said: "The sister is out of the cabinet, if you want to be a good husband, the right is a brother, and you should be the escort for it, today thanks to all the heroes from all over the world, it is really an honor for the power, the six counties and eighty-one states of Dongwu to the civil and military officials, down to the people of Limin, all with tolerance......

Sun Quan talked endlessly on the stage, and Sima Yi below followed Yuan Shang's side, secretly turned his head to Yuan Shang's ear, and whispered: "So many forces, such a gathering of heroes from all over the world, reminds me of a grand event in the ancient world......"

Yuan Shang was happy when he heard this, and said, "What kind of event?" ”

Sima Yi said in a low voice: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the five hegemons were dominant before and after, but before the hegemony, they were all the princes of the General Assembly, gathering heroes from all over the world, and setting up alliances, such as the Qi Huan Gong Juancheng Alliance, and the Jin Wen Gong Jian Tu Alliance. ”

Yuan Shang nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he also knew that Sima Yi would never mention these things to him for no reason, and then said, "You seem to have something to say?" ”

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Although the matter of the alliance is strong, but the undercurrent behind it is turbulent, just like the ancient Wu Wangfu, who descended to the Yue country and broke the Qi country, the power of the country is strong, and it is unstoppable, but when the princes of the Huangchi Conference were competing for the hegemony, he was stabbed in the back by Gou Jian, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since. ”

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said, "Are you afraid that if we recruit relatives here, someone behind us will take the opportunity to spread wild on our territory?" Rest assured! There is Zhao Yun in Guan, my second brother and Zhang He in the Central Plains, there are Gao Ran and Zhang Liao in Hefei, and Hebei is our top priority. ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "No, I don't want the lord not to be a husband, I want to ask the lord to do Gou Jian, take advantage of this recruitment conference, and then move other people's territory behind my back, I can't say that I can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

“…………”

Yuan Shang woke up when he heard this, his eyes rolled around, and he said, "What do you mean...... Jingzhou! ”

Sima Yi said: "If you want to move Jingzhou, you have to see what variables this recruitment will produce in the middle, and the lord was slightly subdued Jing Chu back then, and once planted a dark chess piece in Jiangxia, after many years, I don't know if I still want to instruct or not!" ”

The two were talking, and suddenly they heard a shout from the soldiers of Wu Yue around them, but it was Sun Quan on the stage who finished speaking, and all the soldiers cheered for him.

The guests from all over the world also clapped their hands to show their respect.

In Jingyi's delegation, Zhuge Liang asked Sun Quan with a smile: "Dare to ask Wu Hou, the young talents who came to apply this time are all the best in the world, I am afraid that there are no less than 100 people, so many people come to apply, I don't know what topic Wu Hou plans to use to test the school?" ”

Sun Quan laughed and said: "Although I have the heart to ask the question, I am afraid that my sister will not agree, this time there are many relatives, if it is a competition against one, I am afraid that I will not be able to distinguish between three or five months!" ”

Behind Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang stepped out, bowed, and said: "This recruitment, although it is a matter of the little woman, but it is also related to the fate of Dongwu, no jokes, and you are all talents in the world, and your talent is a hundred times better than Shangxiang, it is better than this, since you are here to apply, you might as well have a project of 100 people, and then the little woman will choose from it, and pick out the suitable one, I don't know what to do?" ”

When everyone heard Sun Shangxiang's words, they couldn't help but feel a little interesting.

The Sun family did not ask questions, but asked all parties to contribute ideas, and those who came to apply issued proposals, contributed their ideas, and came up with suitable competition items, and then Sun Shangxiang screened them from them and took out the appropriate school candidates, which is also interesting.

At the same time, when you think about it, it's fair. (To be continued......)
