Read the full text

Lu Su set out from Wu County and soon arrived in Jiangxia. After Huang Zu detained Lu Su, he asked Lu Su for the purpose of coming, and learned that Lu Su was going to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao, so he immediately sent someone back to Xiangyang to report the news, and then let Lu Su and his party enter Jingzhou.

After Lu Su arrived in Xiangyang, he rested for a night, and the next morning, he personally went to the governor's mansion to meet him.

In the hall, Liu Biaogao sat above.

Below, Yi Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yunwen and other military generals were all present.

Lu Su was wearing a collared coat, wearing a virtuous crown, his eyes were calm, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, he walked into the hall and arched his hand: "Jiangdong Captain Lu Su, please meet Liu Jingzhou." ”

Liu Biao said: "After a few months, Captain Lu is here again, this time he came to Xiangyang, why is it a big deal?"

Lu Su Zhengse said: "This time I came to Xiangyang because the lord heard that the prince Xiu Gongzi was both civil and military, and he was a rare hero, and he planned to marry Liu Jingzhou." ”

Wow

As soon as these words came out, there was a sensation in the hall.

The people who can sit in the hall are human spirits, and there are no fools. After Huang Zu killed Sun Jian, there was a feud between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and no matter how much they cooperated, it was impossible to eliminate the pimple.

Now that Sun Quan has taken the initiative to propose marriage, there must be something greasy, and he must have other intentions.

Liu Biao's old face showed an incredible look, this news was too shocking. Liu Biao quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "You said that Jiangdong chose Liu Xiu, the third son of this official. It's just a woman who married in Jiangdong, and who is it?"

Lu Su replied: "Jiangdong is married to Sun Shangxiang, the younger sister of the lord. ”

"Sun Shangxiang"

When Liu Biao heard this, his mind immediately turned.

His eyes fell on Yi Yuan.

When Yi Ji returned from Ancheng County, he once said that Liu Xiu had captured Sun Quan's little sister Sun Shangxiang. Now Sun Quan proposes to marry Sun Shangxiang, obviously to eliminate the threat of Sun Shangxiang being detained by Liu Xiu.

Liu's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Captain Lu, if this official remembers correctly, Sun Shangxiang is still in Ancheng County, in Xiu'er's hands." Now that Sun Taishou proposes to marry Jingzhou, what is his intention?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "It is precisely because Gongzi Xiu captured Sun Xiaomei that the lord decided to marry." ”

"Xiaomei has said since she was a child that the person she wants to marry must be a hero who is all-round in civil and military affairs. ”

"Xiu Gongzi is both civil and military, fighting Cao Cao wisely, fighting Cao Cao in martial arts, and governing Youxian in an orderly manner. Xiu Gongzi is such a big hero. is the so-called hero with beauty, Liu Jingzhou's son is so outstanding, and the little sister is both talented and beautiful, the two are a match made in heaven, just right. ”

"If Jiangdong and Jingzhou become in-laws, the two sides will be in-laws. ”

"When the lord saw Liu Jingzhou, he also had to be called uncle. Lu Su laughed and said: "Jingzhou and Jiangdong have just stopped the dispute, and now they are married again, which can be described as the icing on the cake, and it is time to consolidate the relationship between the two sides." ”

After Liu Biao listened, he was suddenly moved.

What he values is not how virtuous and filial Sun Shangxiang is, but Sun Quan calling him uncle.

Invisibly, he felt that he was a generation higher than Sun Quan.

The most important thing is that Liu Xiu's marriage has no impact on Jingzhou, and Jiangdong's marriage is also Jiangdong's loss.

Cai Mao is unwilling for Liu Xiu to marry Sun Shangxiang, once he gets married, the hidden power behind Liu Xiu will go to the next level. He stared at Lu Su and said in a deep voice: "Captain Lu, Sun Quan suddenly married Jingzhou, I'm afraid he wants to eliminate Sun Shangxiang's influence on Yuzhang County." Without Sun Shangxiang's influence, Tai Shici sat in Yuzhang County, and returned to the usual situation, and would not be restrained. ”

These words were broken a little, and Lu Su's eyes revealed a solemn look.

However, Lu Su disagreed, and said: "Cai Junshi's words are wrong, the lord has been in charge of Jiangdong for many years, and there is a clear distinction between public and private, and it is impossible for Sun Shangxiang to affect the overall situation of Jiangdong." There is no doubt about this. On Liu Jingzhou, it is impossible for him to ignore the overall situation of Jingzhou because of his personal feelings. Therefore, the argument that marrying a daughter to eliminate the influence is completely untenable. ”

Cai Mao snorted: "Quissling"

Lu Su looked at Liu Biao and said, "Liu Jingzhou, whether you are willing to marry or not is up to Liu Jingzhou's decision." If Liu Jingzhou is unwilling, he will return to Wu County and inform the lord of the news. ”

Liu Biao fell into deep thought, and no one spoke against the military generals below.

After a long time, Liu Biao said: "Sun Taishou's request, this official agreed. ”

Lu Su's face showed a hint of relief, and said, "In this case, please order the state pastor as soon as possible, and let Gongzi Xiu release Sun Shangxiang and return to Jiangdong." At the same time, ask Liu Jingzhou to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and then send someone to Jiangdong to discuss. After the two sides decided on the final date, Liu Jingzhou was asked to send envoys and Xiu Gongzi to Jiangdong to greet his relatives in person. ”

When Kuai Yue heard this, the expression on his face changed, and he said: "Lord, since you want to get married, why don't you let Gongzi Xiu go to Jiangdong to greet your relatives in Ancheng County or Youxian County, or Xiangyang." ”

Yi Ji opened his mouth and said: "My lord, I also think that it is unreasonable to release people first and then welcome relatives. ”

Lu Su was nervous in his heart, if he did the marriage in Xiangyang, it would definitely be a mistake. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It involves the alliance of the two families, and it also involves the marriage of Gongzi Xiu and Shang Xiang. The humble position believes that it is reasonable to let the little sister return to Jiangdong first, and then the son of Xiu will go to greet her relatives. The two sides made a marriage, could it be that Liu Jingzhou was worried that Jiangdong would regret it?"

After listening to this, Liu Biao nodded.

Cai Mao stopped him just now, but now he has expectations, and takes the initiative to persuade him: "My lord, I think I should go to Jiangdong to welcome my relatives." This is not only the marriage of the cultivator, but also the face of the lord. If you don't go to greet your relatives in person, I'm afraid you will be tongue-in-cheek. ”

When Kuai Yue and Yi heard this, their expressions were extremely solemn.

Liu Biao said: "Captain Lu's suggestion has been adopted by this official. The official will set the time as soon as possible, and then send someone to Jiangdong to agree on the time to welcome the family, and then send envoys and Xiu'er to meet the family. ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou is wise, since this is the case, I will go back to inform the lord and wait for the good news of Liu Jingzhou." ”

After speaking, Lu Su left.

The news of the marriage between Jingzhou and Jiangdong spread quickly, and Huang Chengyan also got the news as soon as possible. When he got the news, he was so angry that he was furious.

Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying were already in love, and Jiangdong inserted a lever, and the situation immediately became complicated.

Sun Shangxiang is Sun Quan's younger sister, she is here, what should Huang Yueying do

Huang Chengyan climbed Lumen Mountain, found Pang Degong, and said in an unkind tone: "Duke De, Jiangdong proposed a marriage, and Liu Biao has agreed. Liu Xiu is about to marry Sun Shangxiang, what do you say about this matter?"

Pang Degong said: "Chengyan, I know you are anxious. But Jiangdong's intentions, can't you see that they asked Xiu'er to go to Jiangdong to welcome their relatives, it is clear that they are harboring evil intentions, and it is impossible to simply marry a daughter. ”

Huang Chengyan waved his hand and said, "Whether there is a bad intention, the old man can't control it." The old man only knew that Yueying was very sad. ”

When it comes to Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, Pang Degong also feels tricky. After thinking for a moment, Pang Degong said: "This is the matter of Xiu'er and Yueying, it's useless for us two old guys to be in a hurry, it's better to take Yueying south to Ancheng County to ask Xiu'er's opinion." In this matter, he is the party concerned, and it depends on his decision. ”

Pang Degong could only delay time, take Huang Chengyan south, and hand over the matter to Liu Xiu.

Huang Chengyan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go south immediately." You pack your bags immediately, and I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain. After finishing speaking, Huang Chengyan hurried down the mountain.

An hour later, a carriage departed from Lumen Mountain, left Xiangyang, and headed south
