Chapter 454: Sun-Liu Alliance
Three days later, a shocking piece of news broke.
Liu Biao died unexpectedly, and his heir knew that he was unable to serve as the governor of Jingzhou, so he handed over the rights of the governor to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei actually united with Sun Quan, and the two jointly guarded Jingzhou, with Xiangyang City as the boundary, and the two families divided Jingzhou equally.
In this regard, the world was in an uproar, of course, there was an uproar, Cao Cao didn't care about this, but accelerated the attack on Qingzhou, and when Qingzhou was finished, he pounced on the three eastern states.
And Yuzhou, which is below Qingzhou, was originally in the hands of Sun Quan, in order to deal with Cao Cao, but now it has become a bridgehead, a large army is being assembled, and some fortifications are being intensified.
At noon that day, Sun Quan finally came to Xiangyang, and behind him, Zhou Yu and the others followed closely and slowly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Today is the first meeting of the Sun-Liu Alliance, and it is also to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.
When the alliance was confirmed, that is, three days ago, Sun Quan hurriedly sent scouts to the north to investigate, and finally learned the news of Yuan Shao's defeat.
This news was originally blocked by Cao Cao, but somehow, let the scout know that it was sent back.
After knowing the detailed information, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to kill Liu Biao to show the sincerity of the alliance.
After Gan Ning determined that Liu Biao was dead, he quickly dispatched a large army to take down the remnants of Liu Biao and expand his strength, and then the army quickly controlled the eastern part of Jingzhou to prevent them from falling into chaos.
After two days of hard work, he finally controlled half of Jingzhou, but Liu Bei did not make a move, as the messenger said that day, watching Sun Quan take the eastern part of Jingzhou, and even secretly helped.
This is the cornerstone of the alliance, and today is the first meeting between Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
In the city lord's mansion, it was splendid, and in order to show Liu Bei's sincerity, he took out a lot of good things.
The drinks used in the meeting alone are rare treasures, not to mention the utensils used, in short, they drained Liu Bei's family and made him poor again.
Liu Bei, who had a calm face, silently looked at the crowded living room, waiting for the arrival of Sun Quan and others.
"Report, Sun Quan and the others have already appeared at the teleportation array, and they are now coming."
"Report, Sun Quan and the others have arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion and are entering."
"Report, Sun Quan and the others have entered the corridor and are about to arrive here."
The voices of the heralds came and went, indicating the movements of Sun Quan and others.
After the last herald finished speaking, Liu Bei greeted him, not only him, but also Xu Shu, Zhang Fei and others, of course, Li Ru and Lu Bu did not appear because of their special status, but just watched from a distance.
Standing on a high place, watching the approach of the two groups of people below, and then Liu Bei and Sun Quan walked in hand in hand, Lu Bu smiled evilly.
"Hehe, everything is going according to the will of the lord, it's so fun, I don't know what Cao Cao will do in the face of the two of them joining forces?" Lu Bu glanced at the crowd below, looking at the sky, and muttered.
By his side, Li Ru was similar, but he just put the words in his heart and didn't say them.
After a while, the people below could no longer be seen, and had already entered the meeting room, which was presumably going on.
"Wen You, what do you say they will do for the sake of the alliance, how to consolidate it?" Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and asked.
Listening to Lu Bu's question, Li Ru replied casually.
"It's nothing more than two points, one point of mutual non-aggression, two points of marriage, of which marriage is the most critical point, as long as the other party marries his own person, it is a family, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it can continue the offspring, at least it will not be exterminated."
Li Ru's words made Lu Bu's eyes widen.
Carefully recalling the ages of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, I found that Liu Bei is an old seniority, and Sun Quan's father is a person of the same era, and now he is in his forties, and Sun Quan is only twenty, in this Liu Bei's heirs are still young, not more than five years old, Sun Quan's heirs are even younger, only a few years old, how can this be married?
"How did they get married? Liu Bei can be Sun Quan's father. Lu Bu scratched his head and asked again.
"Well, I'll think about it." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Li Ru was also stunned all of a sudden.
Carefully thinking about the families of both sides to see if there was anything they could contact, in the end, I suddenly found that there was only one possibility, that is, Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister.
Sun Shangxiang, who is now sixteen years old, can only be united by Liu Bei marrying Sun Shangxiang, so that the forces of the two families can be united, but Sun Shangxiang is the baby bump of Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, whether she can agree or not.
The gap between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang is a bit big, it is a gap in their twenties, but this is the smallest problem.
One is that Liu Bei is at least a state pastor, and he is a real hero, at least there is nothing to say about his character, and there are not many heirs, only a few sons, if Sun Shangxiang marries, there will be a chance.
The two Sun Shangxiang have also reached the age of talking about marriage, and marrying someone else is estimated to not make the Sun family more prosperous, only by marrying a powerful prince can the Sun family be stronger.
Judging from these two, Sun Shangxiang's ending is doomed.
"I guess it's Liu Bei marrying Sun Shangxiang, and there is no one else to choose, unless you forget it, don't say it." Li Ru said as he spoke, and suddenly thought of something halfway through his speech, but he didn't want to say it.
Lu Bu was very uncomfortable listening, but the previous words had already attracted him, and when he thought of Liu Bei hugging Sun Shangxiang, who could be his daughter, he felt funny, and he didn't know if Liu Bei could handle it.
"Haha, haha......" The laughter resounded in the sky, causing the nearby soldiers to look over.
When you see that it is Lu Bu, don't look over it and ignore it.
Time passed slowly, and it was night in a blink of an eye, and the meeting between Liu Bei and Sun Quan finally ended, looking at the people who slowly walked out, Lu Bu and Li Ru cheered up and watched.
I saw Liu Bei holding Sun Quan's hand and sending it to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and then let go, waving goodbye to Sun Quan with tears, which made the two of them speechless.
This Liu Bei is really invincible, whenever he wants to have tears, he can have them, no matter what the occasion, he can deal with it freely, worthy of Liu Bei.
"Okay, now that they're done talking, it's time for us to go and meet Liu Bei and Xu Shu." After Li Ru finished speaking, he turned around and walked downstairs directly.
"Wait, Wenyou, when are we going back, I'm bored to death." Lu Bu stopped Li Ru and asked depressedly.
"It's going to be soon, we're going back when it's over, let's go." After speaking, he pulled Lu Bu and walked towards Liu Bei.
By the time the two sides were seated, it was already past dinner time, but fortunately there was plenty of food and drinks in the room.
Although it was left over during the day, Lu Bu didn't dislike it at all, and pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to compete with them to see who ate more.
This made the two of them depressed, they had already eaten a lot during the day, and if they were competing with Lu Bu, they would probably be able to eat.
But looking at Lu Bu's disdainful eyes, the two gritted their teeth and ate.
As for Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and Li Ru, they were sitting together and talking about something.
"Congratulations to Liu Zhoumu and Yangzhou for joining forces, so that at least they will not be knocked down by Cao Cao's punch." Li Ru's words were very mean.
Liu Bei and Xu Shu said that their faces were unhappy, but they couldn't refute it, because Cao Cao was already powerful, and after annexing Yuan Shao, his strength was even stronger, and he could be said to be the first force in the world, if he and Sun Quan did not unite, there would be no chance at all.
"Hehe, Wen Xiansheng laughed, this is all due to you, otherwise we will still be in the dark, and when Cao Cao's army attacks, we will not know what to do." Liu Bei smiled, and the unhappiness on his face had disappeared.
Some are just sincere, but how much sincerity there is, only Liu Bei himself knows.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, I don't ask about your alliance today, and I don't want to hear it, you don't need to tell me, the only thing I tell you is to be careful of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, neither of them is easy to mess ......with," Li Ru said some of Li Yi's admonitions.
By the way, expand some things, let Liu Bei be more careful, but don't be swallowed up by Sun Quan.
After that, the three of them chatted about other things, such as the remuneration for Li Yi's troops this time, and some large transactions, such as war horse armor and the like, all of which were booked a lot.
On the battlefield, no class of troops is invincible, only all-round development is the king, but the south lacks war horses, and even the armor is not as good as the north, so you have to buy it from Youzhou.
And the south has more wood and grain, which is also what the north lacks, although Youzhou is not very short of these materials, but it is prepared, once the army is expanded, no matter how much food is enough.
In the end, both parties were very happy and got what they wanted.
When the discussion ended, it was already midnight, and Liu Bei and the three of them didn't feel anything, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hated Lu Bu very much at the moment, because the two of them couldn't eat anymore.
looked at Lu Bu who continued to eat and drink, that hate.
"Ah, why can't you two eat, let me tell you a secret, your strength is the same as your appetite, the more you eat, the stronger you are, look at what I eat, more than the two of you combined, it means that you are too weak." Lu Bu looked at the two of them with a wicked smile on his face.
I can see that their anger is skyrocketing, but they can't beat others, they can't eat, they can't eat others, what kind of fights do they have, let's watch them honestly.
"Ahem, let's go, let's go back to rest, as for what you eat, you can take it back to eat." In the end, Li Ru couldn't stand it anymore, shouted and prepared to leave.
"Oh, let's go." Hearing Li Ru's words, Lu Bu picked up a few pork knuckles and followed behind Li Ru while eating.
Suddenly, Li Ru stopped, and was almost hit by Lu Bu, but fortunately, Lu Bu had a good control over his body, otherwise he would definitely be embarrassed.
"By the way, I remember that Yuanzhi's family is no longer in Yizhou, be careful, the more famous Yuanzhi is, those people will try their best to hurt Yuanzhi, especially your family, I remember that you have an elderly mother to take care of, be careful, fortunately, I knew it first, in case it is other bad people, but it is not easy to do." After speaking, Li Ru went back to rest.
Liu Bei and Xu Shu, who had a sudden change in their faces, looked at Li Ru who was leaving.
After Li Ru left, Liu Bei hurriedly said to Xu Shu.
"Yuan Zhi, bring your mother quickly, I will serve you like my mother, but I can't be assassinated by bad people."
Liu Bei's words made Xu Shu sober up, and he didn't have time to say more, so he returned to his hometown with the army to pick up his mother.
