With Sun Shangxiang in hand, Tai Shici didn't dare to act rashly, and Liu Xiu had plenty of time to accumulate strength and plan the layout. In the past few days, the number of troops has increased again, and it has exceeded 10,000 people. The most important thing is that these soldiers are not recruits, they are elite soldiers who have been trained by Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

Barracks, big tents.

Liu Xiu and Huang Zhong stood in front of the map of Yuzhang County, discussing the next step.

Outside the tent, Qiu Bao said: "My lord, there is an urgent letter in Xiangyang. ”

"Bring people in. ”

Liu Xiu gave the order, but he wondered in his heart what happened in Xiangyang

A short time later, the soldier delivering the letter entered the tent and handed over the letter.

Liu Xiu took a quick look at it after opening it, his face turned cold, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Pang Tong knew that something must have happened, otherwise Liu Xiu would not be like this, so he hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened?"

Huang Zhong's heart hung in the air, on weekdays, it was rare to see Liu Xiu angry, and he rarely saw Liu Xiu's expression.

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and calmed himself down, before he said slowly: "Jiangdong proposed to marry Jingzhou and let me marry Sun Shangxiang." According to the agreement between the two parties, I will release Sun Shangxiang now, and after the wedding date is set, I will go to Jiangdong to welcome my relatives. ”

Pang Tong and Huang Zhong's faces also changed at the same time.

It's so sudden

This decision came too suddenly, and the three of them were caught off guard.

Liu Xiu looked at the soldier who came to deliver the letter and ordered: "This official knows, go down." After sending the soldier who delivered the letter, Liu Xiu said: "Shiyuan Hansheng, what do you think about the marriage?"

Pang Tong said: "Jiangdong's purpose is probably not only a simple marriage, but also a deep-seated reason. ”

Huang Zhong's eyes were solemn, and he said: "The most superficial purpose is easy to come out, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are married, and the lord must release Sun Shangxiang." Without Sun Shangxiang, the lord lost the hostage who threatened Tai Shici. If Tai Shici is not constrained, he may once again wave his army to attack Ancheng County. ”

Pang Tong said: "Tai Shi Ci's attack on Ancheng County, or other counties, is the simplest purpose, and it will affect the layout of the lord at most. The greatest danger comes from the lord going to Koto in person. Jiangdong is Sun Quan's territory, once he goes to Jiangdong, he can't help himself, he becomes a fish on Sun Quan's chopping board, and Sun Quan can handle it. However, when Jingzhou and Jiangdong were married, it was impossible for Sun Quan to have no scruples at all, and it was impossible for him to blatantly murder the lord. It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows."

Huang Zhong sighed lightly: "I really can't understand how Lord Zhou Mu thought about it, he actually agreed to marry Jiangdong. Jiangdong proposed marriage, making it clear that there was a conspiracy. It's a pity that the layout of Yuzhang County is messed up. ”

Liu Xiudao: "Jiangdong proposed marriage, and my father has already agreed, and it is impossible to change it." So the focus now is on whether to let people go, or in other words, to let Sun Shangxiang return to Jiangdong. ”

Although Sun Shangxiang looks good, he blocked Liu Xiu's way forward, and Liu Xiu had already moved to kill.

Kill Sun Shangxiang, and all problems can be solved.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he understood Liu Xiu's intentions, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't be impulsive, it's useless to kill people." Especially killing Sun Shangxiang will make Liu Jingzhou lose face. Once Sun Quan is held accountable for this, the governor may condemn you. ”

Pang Tong also persuaded: "Liu Jingzhou agreed to the marriage, and there is no room for things to turn back." Killing Sun Shangxiang can only make the situation more complicated. It is certain to release people, and it is certain to go to Koto. Now the focus is that the lord is about to go to Jiangdong to welcome his relatives, and this link must be carefully arranged. ”

Liu Xiu said: "You have considered external factors, but you have not considered internal troubles. ”

"Internal troubles"

Huang Zhong stroked the beard under his chin, with an incomprehensible affection.

The consequence of the marriage between Jingzhou and Jiangdong was that Liu Xiu went to Jiangdong, which brought a threat to Liu Xiu, but it was said to be a threat, but in fact, the danger was not great. On a certain level, the successful marriage with Sun Shangxiang is also beneficial to Liu Xiu.

Pang Tong suddenly said: "Is the lord talking about Yueying?"

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and nodded.

Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying have already made up their relationship, and they have been recognized by Huang Chengyan.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying were assassinated in Lumen Mountain, and Pang Degong Huang Chengyan discussed going to the State Pastoral Mansion to find Liu Biao to get engaged, and took the opportunity to beat the Cai family and Liu Cong. Because Liu Xiu felt that it was inappropriate to use assassination to get engaged, and Liu Xiu wanted to marry Huang Yueying if he wanted to become famous, he postponed the engagement. Now that this is happening, the situation is complicated.

What does Huang Chengyan think

What would Huang Yueying think

This is Liu Xiu's most tangled problem.

Liu Xiu rubbed his cheeks and said, "The news has reached Ancheng County, which means that this news has already spread in Xiangyang." When Mr. Seunghiko and Yueying found out, they didn't know what the reaction was. ”

Pang Tong said: "My lord, my suggestion is that both of them are married." ”

"Who's Big and Who Small"

Liu Xiu didn't think about it, and spoke directly.

It is normal to have three wives and four concubines in this era, and the most important thing is that Huang Yueying is the only daughter of Huang Chengyan, the Huang family is not a small family, it is a Xiangyang family, and it is the pearl of the Huang family, and it is impossible to be small. Sun Shangxiang is the pearl of Jiangdong, the little sister of Sun Quan, the overlord of Jiangdong, and it is impossible to be small.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Perhaps, you can marry two people at the same time." ”

Liu Xiu said: "You think beautifully. ”

Pang Tong said: "The lord and Yueying are in love, and if you don't marry Yueying, I can't look past it." But the marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou has already been decided, and it is impossible to go back. There is only one choice, and you can only marry them all. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not so easy to operate." Thinking of Huang Yueying and Huang Chengyan, Liu Xiu felt that his head was big. Suddenly, Liu Xiu said: "Maybe you can start with Sun Shangxiang and let her mess up this marriage." ”

Pang Tong pouted and said, "Lord, this is impossible. Will the things set by Sun Quan change Sun Shangxiang is powerless to change such a situation, this consideration is impossible. “

"If you can do it, you have to try it. Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Shiyuan Hansheng, you discuss the next strategy for Yuzhang County, the original layout must be changed, and then reconsidered." I'm going to find Sun Shangxiang. ”

"No"

Pang Tong and Huang Zhong got the order, and the two looked at each other and shook their heads.

It is almost impossible to repent of marriage.

Liu Xiu left the study and came to the room where Sun Shangxiang lived. As soon as Sun Shangxiang saw Liu Xiu, he was pleasantly surprised: "Liu Xiu, what are you looking for me, are you going to release me?" was detained in the house, and Sun Shangxiang was about to get sick.

After Liu Xiu sat down, he shook his head and said, "This time, I came to discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Sun Shangxiang.

Liu Xiu said: "I just received a letter from Xiangyang, Sun Quan proposed to marry Jingzhou and let you marry me. According to the agreement between the two parties, I will release you and let you return to Jiangdong, and then go to Jiangdong to greet your relatives. But my heart belongs to me, and I can't marry you. ”

brush

After Sun Shangxiang heard this, his face fell.

get married

This, what's going on

Sun Shangxiang's eyes showed a look of disbelief, and he muttered: "Impossible, how can the second brother marry me to you, absolutely impossible." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Lu Su personally went to Xiangyang to propose marriage, and the marriage has been decided. ”

When Sun Shangxiang heard this, he fell silent. Glancing at Liu Xiu, Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, when I return to Jiangdong, I will find my mother and second brother and refuse to marry." When the time comes, you come to Jiangdong to welcome your relatives, and I will run away from marriage. That way, you don't have to be embarrassed. ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

So easy to talk to

Is this still a hostile Sun Shangxiang?

Sun Shangxiang waved his hand and said, "If it's okay, you can go, I'm tired and want to rest." ”

"Thank you"

Liu Xiu got up and left the room. To be honest, Liu Xiu was also a little ashamed in his heart. It is not appropriate to treat Sun Shangxiang like this. But Liu Xiu is just an ordinary person, and he can only consider his and Huang Yueying's position and not let Huang Yueying be wronged. Sun Shangxiang had nothing to do with him, and it was impossible for him to consider Sun Shangxiang's feelings.

This is the only way to do it

Sun Shangxiang sat in the room, but there were already tears in her eyes.

She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, and after a little thought, she understands that the intention of this marriage is to eliminate the influence she has brought to Yuzhang County as a hostage.

Everything started because of her, so let her solve it
