Wu County, Taishou Mansion.

In the study, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su were deliberating.

Sun Quan is twenty-five years old, not very old, but he is calm and calm, his eyes are deep, and there is not the slightest immaturity. His gaze swept over Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and said in a deep voice: "Before the truce with Liu Biao, Jiang Xia's guard was relaxed a lot. After months of adjustment, our trolls have also recovered. I'm going to launch an offensive and attack Jiangxia. ”

For Jiangxia to guard Huang Zu too much, Sun Quan has an unforgettable hatred.

If he didn't kill Huang Zu, he would not be at ease.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "My lord, it is imperative to seek Jiangxia." If you want to capture Jingzhou, you must first capture Jiangxia. But now that winter is coming, the weather is cold, and sending troops in winter is not good for the navy. It is better to send troops to attack Jiangxia after the spring of next year. ”

Lu Su looked approving, and said: "With more time, the lord can arrange more people to sneak into Jiangxia, as long as he can win over people as internal responses, everything will be easy to do." ”

Sun Quan saw that the two henchmen had reached a unified opinion, and he did not object, nodded and said: "Gongjin and Zijing both think so, then attack Jiangxia again in the spring of next year." ”

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan has attacked Jiangxia several times since he took power.

In every battle, the troops sent were very elite. It's just that Jiangxia's navy is elite, and Huang Zu can fight well, so that Sun Quan fails every time.

So far, he has not been able to capture Jiangxia and kill Huang Zu.

Sun Quan changed his words and said: "Recently, there has been a lot of news about Liu Xiu, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu said: "Liu Xiu is in charge of the county, so there is no need to be afraid. He is the son of Liu Biao, and he was released as an official, at least a county guard, but now he is serving as a county commander, which can be described as a dragon trapped in the shallows. Although Liu Xiu has the ability, when he arrives in Youxian County, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference. The smaller the place, the more Liu Xiu can't let go. ”

Lu Su had seen Liu Xiu and was very appreciative of Liu Xiu's ability, he said: "I think that if Liu Xiu goes to Youxian, I am afraid that there will be more variables." Liu Xiu is in Xiangyang, although he is talented, but with Liu Biao, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, it is difficult for Liu Xiu to make a difference, and he can't get any rights. He went to Youxian, but instead he fished into the sea. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Su glanced at Zhou Yu and said: "However, Brother Gongjin's analysis has a certain amount of truth, a small county like Youxian has a complex and intertwined relationship, and it is a puddle of mud. ”

Lu Su turned his words around again and said, "However, if Liu Xiu does a good job, the situation will be different. Governing a county is the best way to win the hearts of the people, and once Liu Xiu's political achievements are outstanding, perhaps Youxian County is the place where Liu Xiu rises. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Pay close attention to Liu Xiu's actions, and you can't take it lightly." ”

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, outside the study.

Immediately, a loud voice sounded: "Lord, the lowly Zhang Zhao asks to see." ”

Sun Quan nodded, and Lu Su hurriedly got up and opened the door.

Zhang Zhao saw Lu Su, nodded in thanks, and walked in. Zhang Zhao is over fifty years old, with a resolute face, a pair of sword eyebrows, thin lips, a beautiful beard under the chin, and a strong posture, giving people an extremely strong feeling.

Standing in the study, Zhang Zhao bowed and said, "Lord"

Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Gong Zhang, sit"

After Zhang Zhao fell, a trace of solemnity appeared on his resolute cheeks, and he reported: "Lord, I just got a small news that Shang Xiang was arrested by Liu Xiu in Youxian County. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his face turned pale.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, with a look of horror in their eyes, Sun Shangxiang was arrested, this is a big deal.

Sun Quan said: "Zhang Gong, is the news true?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head lightly and said, "There is no official confirmation of the specific news." Now, there are viral rumors everywhere in Wu County, saying that Tai Shici sent Shang Xiang to attack Youxian, which led to Shang Xiang being captured. The lord, Tai Shici presided over the war in Yuzhang County, no matter what the final news is, Shang Xiang was arrested, he must be responsible. ”

Sun Quan frowned, and his mood fell to the bottom.

It's just that Tai Shi Ci has not sent back the news, and there is no news from Sun Ben, the Taishou of Yuzhang County.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, again outside the study.

Immediately, the squire's voice sounded: "My lord, there is an urgent letter from Yuzhang County. ”

Lu Su raised his eyebrows, knowing that the news was coming, he hurriedly got up and opened the door, took the letter, and handed it to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan opened the envelope and quickly glanced aside. After reading it, he looked even more solemn and said: "The news outside is half-true and half-false, the real news is that Shang Xiang was arrested, and the fake news is that this attack on Youxian County is Shang Xiang fighting for." And attacking Youxian was not a chore, but I didn't expect to fall into Liu Xiu's trap. ”

Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su read Tai Shici's letters one after another.

The expressions of the three of them were extremely solemn.

Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu really dared to speak, and even asked the lord to take Yuzhang County in exchange. Every inch of my Jiangdong land was fought bloodily by the soldiers, and it was impossible to cede it to Liu Xiu. ”

Zhou Yu said: "It is impossible for Yuzhang County to be ceded to Liu Xiu, but Shang Xiang must be saved. ”

Lu Su said: "You can negotiate with Liu Xiu and save Shang Xiang as soon as possible." ”

Sun Quan squinted his eyes, and his mood was extremely depressed. The situation in Yuzhang County is good, but I didn't expect Sun Shangxiang to be arrested suddenly, resulting in a mess.

The joy of Liu Pan being shot was also completely dispelled.

In Sun Quan's heart, he only felt extremely irritable.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Quan's gaze swept over Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao, and said slowly: "Gonggong Zhang Jinzijing, it is impossible for Yuzhang County to be ceded to Jingzhou, and the little sister must also be rescued, what are your plans?"

When the three of them heard this, they all fell silent.

If the earth is not cut, people must be saved.

I'm afraid it's not easy to do such a thing.

The study was quiet, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Sun Quan looked around at the three of them, and when he saw that none of them spoke, he sighed lightly: "Even you can't think of a solution, it's indeed a little difficult." In Sun Quan's heart, he was prepared for the worst, and it was impossible for him to cede Yuzhang County because of Sun Shangxiang.

Zhou Yu's mind turned, and he said: "Lord, there is a plan below, maybe it will work." ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed and said: "What a strategy?"

Zhou Yu said: "Jiangdong and Jingzhou are married, and the object of the marriage is Liu Xiu. In this way, Shang Xiang is about to become Liu Xiu's wife, and the chips in Liu Xiu's hands are useless. ”

"It's not proper, it's inappropriate, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have a feud, how can they get married?"

After Zhang Zhao heard this, he directly denied it.

Lu Su also felt a little child's play, and said: "Gong Jin, it's a major event related to Shang Xiang's life, I'm afraid you have to think twice before acting." ”

Sun Quan did not speak, but fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yu's mind turned quickly, and he continued: "I didn't say that Shang Xiang must marry Liu Xiu, the lord only needs to send one person to Xiangyang to see Liu Biao and explain his intention to marry Liu Biao. Even if Liu Biao knew that Shang Xiang was arrested, for Liu Biao, Jiangdong married him, and he had a lot of face on his face, and he would agree. ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu said again: "After the marriage was confirmed, the lord used the preparation of the marriage as an excuse to let Liu Xiu release Shangxiang. Once Shang Xiang returned to Jiangdong, the lord could unilaterally tear up the marriage. Anyway, Jiangdong is not afraid of Jingzhou, even if Liu Biao is annoyed and ashamed, it has no effect. If Liu Biao was angry and sent troops to attack Jiangdong, he could take this opportunity to knock Liu Biao. ”

Zhang Zhao said: "It's really done, how does Shang Xiang behave?"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, and he said: "Shang Xiang is the sister of the lord, her status is noble, and there are many men who ask to marry Shang Xiang, which has no effect. On top of that, there is no way to rescue Shang Xiang right now. ”

Lu Su glanced at Sun Quan and sighed lightly in his heart.

As the person who knew Sun Quan best, Lu Su knew that Sun Quan was moved. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's strategy, Sun Quan would probably give up Sun Shangxiang, and the current result would at least save Sun Shangxiang, which is already a good result.

With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu continued: "In fact, you can also take advantage of the situation to marry Shang Xiang to Liu Xiu. Once the marriage was confirmed, let Liu Xiu come to Jiangdong to marry Shang Xiang, and then forcibly detain Liu Xiu. When the time comes, Shang Xiang and Liu Xiu get married, and Youxian County, which lost Liu Xiu, has no leader, so he can take advantage of the situation to let Tai Shici attack Changsha County and attack the city and plunder the land. ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Zhang Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Gong Jin, is this strategy too vicious." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Zhang Gong, there are other ways to save Shangxiang"

Zhang Zhao sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Since there is no strategy, there is no choice. Marriage with Jingzhou can not only save Shangxiang, but also trick Liu Xiu to Jiangdong, and also take advantage of the situation to attack Changsha County, why not"

Sun Quan had a smile in his eyes, and nodded: "Gong Jin's strategy is feasible, this strategy can not only save the little sister, but also attack Changsha County." Moreover, Liu Xiu's literary brilliance and outstanding martial arts are also a good match for the little sister. ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he knew that there was no room for change.

Sun Quan's eyes turned, fell on Lu Su's body, and said, "Zijing, you will be the envoy in this marriage." You prepare, immediately go to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao, and propose a marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. ”

"No"

Lu Su nodded, sighing lightly in his heart.

Sun Quan commanded again: "Gong Jin, order Tai Shici to stop all actions for the time being." Xiaomei's affairs, don't worry about it for the time being, wait for news from Jingzhou. ”

"No"

Zhou Yu received the order, and a smile appeared on his face
