Before he could say what he meant, Wu Guotai understood that he was coming for Sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan hugged his fists and bowed, and did not speak.

Adding a few more words to the scroll, Wu Guotai turned his head to look at Sun Quan and asked lightly, "But Shang Xiang sent back the letter?" ”

"Exactly!" Holding the letter in both hands, Sun Quan handed it to Wu Guotai.

Unfolded the letter and browsed it, Wu Guotai's face did not show anger or surprise, but asked Sun Quan lightly: "What does Wu Hou think of this matter?" ”

Sun Quan, who was standing aside and didn't see any unusual expression on her face, asked tentatively: "Mother thinks that Shang Xiang can be in harmony with the current imperial court?" ”

"Shang Xiang is your sister!" Sun Quan's words made Wu Guotai suddenly pull down her face, and she said a little unhappily: "As an elder brother, how can you suspect that your sister is communicating with others?" ”

"Mother reprimanded!" was reprimanded by Wu Guotai, Sun Quan didn't dare to say anything, and stood aside with his head bowed and his hands.

"Shang Xiang sent back the letter, what he said is not unreasonable!" Folding the letter and handing it back to Sun Quan, Wu Guotai said to him: "Now it's just a matter of how Wu Hou chooses!" ”

"Mother means ......?" Wu Guotai's noncommittal words seemed to give Sun Quan some reminders, he looked up at Wu Guotai, and asked with some hesitation: "Can the child compete with the imperial court?" ”

"Whether it is a battle or surrender, Wu Hou must decide!" Sighing softly, Wu Guotai picked up the pen again, and while writing something on the scroll, he said to Sun Quan: "If Wu Hou chooses, I, as a mother, will support all of them!" ”

Wu Guotai had already expressed his position, and Sun Quan was silent for a moment before he raised his fists and arched them, turned around and left her residence.

After leaving the residence, Sun Quan arrived at the door and ordered the soldiers who followed him: "Please invite all the staff and generals to come to discuss the matter immediately!" ”

Seeing Wu Guotai, Sun Quan already had a trade-off in his heart.

800,000 imperial court troops, divided into two ways to Jiangdong, the Yangtze River can only block the imperial court soldiers and horses from the Central Plains, can be rushed from Bashu to the imperial army, along the way is a long drive, once into Jiangdong, Jiangdong will be completely powerless to compete.

Shortly after receiving Sun Shangxiang's letter, the Jiangdong Sun clan reacted to the mobilization of the imperial army.

50,000 Jiangdong troops deployed the western front, and Sun Quan transferred another 30,000 Jiangdong troops to form a position on the south bank of the Yangtze River, facing the Jingzhou army on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The Han army that went south totaled 600,000 people, and the Han army and barbarian army killed from Bashu also had 200,000 people, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses recruited by Pang Tong and others were also about 200,000.

The situation was extremely delicate for Sun Quan, no matter how much anyone looked at this war, they would think that Jiangdong would be defeated.

The Han army transferred from all over the country marched to Fancheng, gathered in Fancheng, and then rushed to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The army led by Zhuge Jun and Meng Shu went all the way out of Bashu and entered the territory of Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong Army, which faced Zhuge Jun's expedition, marched all the way west, and met Zhuge Jun's army in the Yuhe area.

The two sides were stationed on both sides of the riverbank, facing each other across the Yu River.

The leader of the Jiangdong Army was Zhuge Jin, the eldest brother of Zhuge Jun.

The two brothers each led the army, looked at each other from a distance, and the horses under their respective commands had already heard the other party's main general.

Knowing that it was Zhuge Jin who led the army, Zhuge Jun was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he instructed the soldiers behind him: "Prepare a raft and prepare to cross the river!" ”

The soldiers answered, turned around and conveyed Zhuge Jun's order.

The Han army and the barbarian army were cutting down trees nearby, preparing for crossing the river to attack the Jiangdong army, and a personal soldier raised his hand and pointed to the river and said to Zhuge Jun: "General, there is a raft on the river. ”

Looking at the river in the direction of the soldier's finger, Zhuge Jun saw a raft approaching the riverbank.

There were only two Jiangdong troops on the raft, the Jiangdong army wearing soldiers' clothes and armor was holding the raft hard, while the Jiangdong army wearing officer clothes and armor was holding their swords in their hands and straightening their torsos, looking at the Han army on the west side of the riverbank.

Seeing the raft coming up towards the riverbank, Zhuge Jun slightly pulled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and did not give any orders to the soldiers beside him.

"What is Jiangdong Army going to do?" Meng Shu, who was standing with him, stretched his neck and looked at the raft on the river, and asked Zhuge Jun.

"The leader on the other side of the river bank is a certain elder brother!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhuge Jun said: "I think he wants to talk about brotherhood with a certain story." And by him, it seems how people say! ”

Zhuge Jun guessed that Zhuge Jin wanted to talk to him about brotherhood, Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong glanced at each other, and Mrs. Zhu Rong said to Zhuge Jun with some hesitation: "Since the general is a brother with the main general on the other side, why not persuade him to lead the army to serve the court, so that there is less pain for the soldiers to conquer?" ”

"A certain brother is kind and loyal to Jiangdong!" With an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhuge Jun slowly shook his head and said, "When I come here, there will be a battle with the Jiangdong Army on the other side!" ”

Tiyì was denied by Zhuge Jun, and Mrs. Zhurong did not speak again.

She and Meng Shu both had a trace of doubt in their hearts, since the leaders of the two sides would be brothers-in-law, they should be very good at talking to each other.

The thinking of the Han people is really strange!

Obviously, a conquest can be avoided and many people can be killed, but these two brothers still have to put on a posture of not dying!

The raft got closer and closer to the riverbank, and as it approached the riverbank, it was immediately greeted by several Han soldiers.

"Don't do it!" Before the Han army arrived, the officers of the Jiangdong Army on the raft hurriedly shouted: "I was ordered by General Zhuge to inform your general, and General Zhuge intends to meet with him!" ”

Hearing the Jiangdong officer's shout, a Han army officer beckoned to him and shouted, "You go ashore and talk!" ”

The Jiangdong officer jumped on the river bank, but he was also very obedient, surrounded by several Han soldiers, and went to Zhuge Jun.

"General Qiyu, someone from the Jiangdong Army said that their lord is going to meet with the general!" Before the Jiangdong officer came to Zhuge Jun, a Han army had already come to report to him the intention of the Jiangdong army.

Nodding his head, he waved his hand at the Han Jun who reported the news, and the corners of Zhuge Jun's mouth were always holding a faint sneer.

Surrounded by a group of Han troops, the Jiangdong officers came to Zhuge Jun.

Picked up his fists, arched towards Zhuge Jun, raised his neck slightly, and said loudly: "A certain is under the command of General Zhuge Jin of Jiangdong, and on the order of General Zhuge of Jiangge, I came to inform the general that my general intends to meet the general on the Yuhe River!" ”

"My brother is getting more and more picky!" With a smile on his face, Zhuge Jun turned his head and said to Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong on the side: "There is a huge earth realm here, he doesn't choose anywhere, but he wants to meet General Ben on the river!" ”

waved his hand at the Jiangdong officer, and Zhuge Jun said to him: "Go back and inform your general, ask him to prepare a place to go, and this general will go to see him!" ”

Zhuge Jun responded to Zhuge Jin's invitation, and the Jiangdong officer arched his fists again and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the Jiangdong officer leaving, Meng Shu whispered to Zhuge Jun with some hesitation: "General, although it is a brother, you can come rashly to invite, and the general should be careful." ”

With a smile on his face, Zhuge Jun said to Meng Shu: "My brother is a kind person, not only to meet someone, but to persuade someone to withdraw from the army. Categorically will not secretly ambush and kill someone! ”

Mrs. Zhurong on the side wanted to persuade Zhuge Jun, but when Zhuge Jin was defenseless, she killed him, but seeing Zhuge Jun's indifference, the words that were almost in her mouth were swallowed back.

Zhuge Jun and Zhuge Jin are brothers after all.

The two brothers are their own masters, and when they meet on the battlefield, they must not feel good in their hearts.

Although Zhuge Jun was indifferent, in his heart, he may not have been so calm at all, just because he didn't want the soldiers to see the Lord wavering.

Soon after the Jiangdong officer left, a Han soldier ran over on the bank of the river.

When Zhuge Jun approached, the Han army clenched his fists and bowed down and said: "General Qiyu, there is a raft on the opposite side of the riverbank, and the enemy's main general seems to be on the raft, please cut it off!" ”

Hearing that Zhuge Jin had already gotten on the raft, Zhuge Jun smiled slightly, and said to Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong: "Don't stay together, let's go to the meeting brother and talk about it!" ”

In response, Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong watched Zhuge Jun walk towards the bank of the river.

Compared with the Yangtze River, the Yu River is very narrow, and once the battle end is opened, the attacking soldiers only need to take a raft to attack the opposite side of the riverbank.

On the raft that Zhuge Jin was riding, apart from him, there were only two Jiangdong soldiers.

When they arrived at the riverbank, Zhuge Jun also jumped on a raft and, accompanied by two soldiers, headed towards Zhuge Jun's raft.

The two rafts quickly approached, and a Han soldier threw the rope on the raft to the opposite raft, and the two Jiangdong soldiers accompanying Zhuge Jin hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out their hands to pull the rope.

When the two rafts were close together, Zhuge Jun stepped onto Zhuge Jin's raft, and the two Han soldiers who followed him also jumped over.

On the raft opposite, one of the Han soldiers dragged the rope of their own raft, quickly tied to Zhuge Jin's raft, and spliced the two rafts in one place, but Zhuge Jun bowed to Zhuge Jin with his fists and greeted: "Little brother to meet eldest brother!" ”

Nodding towards Zhuge Jun, Zhuge Jin didn't give him a return gift, but said lightly: "You and my brother haven't seen each other for many years, but I don't want to meet in such a situation, and sit down and talk!" ”

Responding respectfully, Zhuge sat opposite Zhuge Jin on the raft!

"I don't have any other intention to invite you here, just to talk about brotherhood with you!" Zhuge Jun sat down, and Zhuge Jin said to him: "This place is simple, and there is no tea, but don't complain about my little family spirit as a brother!" ”
