Chapter 378: Marriage and Peace
Koto, Wu County!
Wuhou Mansion!
In the backyard, Sun Quan was wearing a single coat and was dancing with a sword. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
During this period, Sun Quan was in a good mood, for the simple reason that Cao's army went south to attack Jingzhou. It is true that Sun Quan knew that once Liu Xiu's army was defeated and Jingzhou fell, Cao 'Cao' would wave his army to attack Jiangdong, but Sun Quan had a bad breath in his heart.
Liu Xiu, this kid, should be cleaned up! When Cao '' if he really 'forces' Liu Xiu to be cornered, Sun Quan will lend a helping hand and help Liu Xiu.
As long as Liu Xiu is alive and Liu Xiu's troops are still there, Cao 'Cao' will not be able to attack Jiangdong.
Therefore, Sun Quan unceremoniously asked Zhou Yu to wave his army to attack Jingzhou, wanting to get a piece of the pie at this time.
If you can seize a little territory, you can take a little bit.
"Whew!"
The sword was swallowed, and the long sword broke through the air, with an incomparable sharp aura.
After a round of swords, Sun Quan was already wet with sweat.
Sun Quan put away his sword and prepared to wash. At this time, at the entrance of the 'gate' of the courtyard, a 'waiter' hurriedly came and reported: "Master Hou, Lord Zhang Zhao asked to see him, saying that he was in a hurry to see. β
Sun Quan was covered with sweat, and now when he went to see Zhang Zhao, he was uncomfortable.
Especially, now Sun Quan feels that the big thing is nothing more than Liu Xiu can't stop it, and it's not something to be anxious about.
Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Please go to the hall, Ben Hou will arrive later." β
"No!"
The 'attendant' went to give orders, and Sun Quan washed up without hurrying.
After two quarters of an hour, Sun Quan came to the hall refreshed.
As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Zhao stood up from his seat and asked, "What major event did the lord encounter in the mansion that delayed for such a long time?" β
"Hmmm......"
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a dissatisfied look.
This tone?
Even if Zhang Zhao is Sun Quan's orphan, he should not be so arrogant.
However, Zhang Zhao's anger was a little heavy.
Sun Quanzheng said: "Gong Zhang, Ben Hou does have a little thing to deal with, so it's too late." β
Zhang Zhao said: "After practicing the sword, is taking a bath also a big deal?"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Quan's face couldn't be hung up, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "Zhang Gong, why is this?" Rao is like this, Sun Quan is still suppressing his anger and is unwilling to tear his face. The situation in Jiangdong is not very good, and there are many things that depend on Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao is indeed Sun Quan's minister of Tuogu and has a high prestige.
Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and suddenly sighed lightly.
On the old face, there was a helpless look.
Seeing this, Sun Quan saw that something was wrong. If Cao 'Cao' defeated Liu Xiu and Jingzhou fell into a crisis, Zhang Zhao should not be like this, after all, he had drawn up a plan at the beginning.
Could it be something else?
But what can make Zhang Zhao behave like this.
Sun Quan asked, "Gong Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang Zhaodao: "I just received the news that Liu Xiu defeated Cao 'Cao''s army of 800,000. Moreover, Liu Xiu's army was only more than 30,000 people, and with these 30,000 people alone, he defeated Cao Cao's 800,000 army. The news has spread. β
"Ahh
When Sun Quan heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
This news is really appalling, it is simply incredible.
Is it possible that an army of 30,000 defeated an army of 800,000?
Sun Quan swallowed his saliva, and because of Zhang Zhao's conflicting emotions, his mind flew out of the clouds, and his heart was full of Liu Xiu's defeat of Cao's ''.
Sun Quan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked, "Gong Zhang, is the news true?"
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier quickly entered.
The soldier entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, took out a letter from his cuff, and said, "Marquis Wu, the governor of the capital is urgent." β
"Bring it on!"
As soon as Sun Quan waved his hand, a soldier took the letter and handed it to Sun Quan.
After Sun Quan took it apart and looked at it, he waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, then looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Gong Zhang, Liu Xiu has indeed won." With nearly 30,000 soldiers, he defeated Cao 'Cao' with a big fire. The exact details of the battle are not yet known. β
After a pause, Sun Quan also said worriedly: "After Liu Xiu wins, the focus will definitely be on Jiangdong." It's just that the current Jiangdong, if you have a hard fight with Liu Xiu, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it. β
Without anyone to restrain Liu Xiu, the pressure on Sun Quan is extremely huge. Just imagine, Liu Xiu has already defeated Cao Cao's 800,000 army, not to mention the strength of Jiangdong.
"Report!"
Another soldier came in and reported: "Marquis Wu, there is a letter from Liu Bei." β
After Sun Quan took the letter and read it, his expression sank.
Zhang Zhao asked, "Lord, what did Liu Bei say?"
Sun Quan replied: "Liu Bei's letter says that in order to capture Jiangxia, it is necessary to defeat Jiangxia's garrison. However, the chief general of the garrison Jiangxia was Tai Shici, the former general of Jiangdong. Liu Bei hoped that Benhou would personally go to Chaisang to persuade Tai Shici to return to obedience. Even if you can't persuade Tai Shici, you have to make Tai Shici lose her sense of proportion. β
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "The lord can't!"
Sun Quan said: "Zhang Gong, I think it's feasible. I really want to see how Tai Shici faces Benhou. If you can't conquer Jiangxia. Then, Ben Hou will go to Yuzhang to visit the Governor and inquire about the situation of the war. If the war is extremely unfavorable, then Jiangdong may seek peace with Liu Xiu. β
Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, I'm afraid it's not easy to ask for peace. β
Sun Quanzheng said: "The greatest sincerity in seeking peace is naturally marriage. If it really doesn't work, the final marriage with Jingzhou is. I believe that Liu Xiu will not be too 'forced'. β
The so-called marriage is to use the value of Sun Shangxiang.
After all, Sun Shangxiang married Liu Xiu in the past, and in the end, Liu Xiu chose to escape. Now Sun Shangxiang is still not married, and he can still marry.
Zhang Zhao nodded and did not make a statement.
Jiangdong encountered a major event of life and death, and at this time, even Sun Shangxiang should have the consciousness of sacrifice. If you can keep Jiangdong and sacrifice a Sun Shangxiang, it is also worth it.
Zhang Zhao said: "Since the lord has already made a decision, the old minister will no longer participate. β
Sun Quan said: "Gong Zhang, Ben Hou will leave for Chaisang today. During Benhou's absence in Wu County, you have full authority to handle the government affairs of Jiangdong. β
"No!"
Zhang Zhao nodded in response, but his face was serious.
The situation in Jiangdong is too unoptimistic.
And in Zhang Zhao's heart, he thinks that this marriage is probably imperative.
In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Quan left Wu County by boat, took the main road of the Yangtze River all the way to the west, and soon came to Chaisang. When they arrived in Chaisang, Sun Quan and Liu Bei met and finalized the plan, so Sun Quan personally wrote a letter and sent a letter to Tai Shici's camp in Qi 'Chun' County.
Tai Shici's reply was very fast, and he sent someone to deliver the letter to Chaisang, and only gave a six-word reply.
In his position, seek his government!
A simple six words severed the relationship between Sun Quan and Tai Shici.
Tai Shi Ci was well aware of his position, especially after he was now in charge of the Fourth Army and became the core of Liu Xiu's command. It is impossible to return to Koto again.
Therefore, he simply cut off the connection with Sun Quan.
After Sun Quan's contact failed, Zhuge Liang was ready to use this matter to drive a wedge between Liu Xiu and Tai Shici.
It's just that Sun Quan suspended the plan and informed him of his intention to prepare for marriage, first stabilize Liu Xiu, suspend the relationship between the two parties, and then accumulate strength to plan Jingzhou again.
After Liu Bei heard this, he did not object, and agreed directly.
Sun Quan went south to Yuzhang County, and after arriving at Zhou Yu's camp, he inquired about the situation. Knowing that Huang Zhong moved frequently, he had led the army to continuously enter the territory of Yi 'Chun' County, which made Yi 'Chun' tired. Although Huang Zhong retreated in the end, overall, Huang Zhong's momentum 'forced' people, which had made Zhou Yu's defense a little difficult.
After Sun Quan listened, he made up his mind completely.
Marriage!
The only way to make peace through marriage is to suspend the war and gain time for respite and layout.
Otherwise, now that Liu Xiu is killed, Sun Quan's life will be very sad.
After Sun Quan made a decision, he went north to Chaisang, informed Liu Bei of the news, and asked Liu Bei to lay out slowly, and then took a boat along the main road of the Yangtze River, all the way east, and finally returned to Wu County.
He returned to the Marquis Mansion and began to prepare for the marriage.
Since you want to marry Jingzhou, you must be fully prepared.
