sent Zhuge Jin away. Sun Jian looked back at Zhou Yu helplessly, and said, "Sure enough, you stinky boy guessed it!"

Zhou Yu didn't have any smugness, and asked Sun Jian: "I don't know if the lord agrees to this marriage in his heart?"

Sun Jian was asked by Zhou Yu like this, and he had a little headache, and when he thought that his daughter Sun Ren was only thirteen years old this year, he was faintly a little difficult to let go. If Sun Renxu is married to Mei Zhoulang in front of him, he can agree with one bite, and it is estimated that his wife Wu (Wu Guotai) must also be happy, but if he is replaced by Yuan Shu's eldest son Yuan Yao, he will feel a little awkward.

Seeing that Sun Jian was silent, Zhou Yu knew the lord's thoughts, so he said: "Yuan Shu's good idea this time is to use Guangling County as a bait to confuse the lord's mind. If the lord agrees to this marriage, I'm afraid that he will push Sister Shangxiang into the fire pit!"

Sun Jian has many children, among which Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Sun Ren are two boys and a daughter born to his wife Wu. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are good friends, Sun Ren is Sun Ce's little sister, she is lively and active, and she plays behind her brother and a few of his friends, so Zhou Yu also treats Sun Ren as his sister, so he calls Sun Ren Shangxiang's sister in front of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian was shocked when he heard Zhou Yu say that if he married his daughter to Yuan Shu as his daughter-in-law, he would actually push it into the fire pit, so he asked: "What do you mean by Gongjin's words? I have a similar identity to Yuan Shu, and he treats my daughter as the eldest son and wife, and there seems to be nothing disrespectful. ”

Zhou Yu did not refute Sun Jian directly, but asked rhetorically: "My lord, now that the Jin Kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is about to be on the Yangtze River, in this dangerous future, should we vigorously expand to the south, or take the opportunity to occupy a corner of the north of the river?"

Sun Jian pondered for a moment and replied: "The land north of the river originally belonged to Xuzhou, if we send troops to occupy it, I am afraid that we will soon have to meet the troops of the Jin State, and it will be difficult to get a foothold. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and continued: "Yuan Shu is now directly facing the threat of the Jin State, and his 40,000 troops are already in the mouth of a tiger, and the Guangling County that has been occupied will inevitably change hands sooner or later, but he transferred this place to Eastern Wu, isn't it equivalent to blaming us? The day of Yuan Shu's demise is not long away, and the lord marries his daughter to Yangzhou, wouldn't it be in vain to bury the happiness of Shangxiang's sister for a lifetime?"

Sun Jian then said with emotion: "Indeed, as Gong Jin said, the Yuan family is not what it used to be, and it is no longer a good match. ”

Just when Sun Jian was sighing, the strategist Gu Yong came to report, saying that Yanzhou Cao Cao's newly acquired strategist Xu Yu had come from afar, claiming that he had something important to report.

When Sun Jian heard this, he reflexively asked Zhou Yu: "Is there another matchmaker?"

Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Lu Su saw that Sun Jian was so nervous, and they immediately burst into laughter. It's no wonder that these young talents are a little lost in front of Sun Jian, because they are only in their early twenties, and they are cheerful and lively, and it is really difficult for them to pretend to be old and dignified all day long like the old minister Zhang Zhao.

Sun Ce said: "It seems that Cao Cao was also frightened by Zhao Xing this time, and without waiting for us to take the initiative to contact him, he first sent an envoy to test our tone. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, smiled and said, "Brother Bofu, I heard that Cao Heizi has raised several very powerful sons. Like Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, they all have their own strengths, but I'm afraid that Shangxiang's sisters don't know which one to marry. ”

When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's words, he suddenly became anxious, and said: "You are a decent person, I will tell her all the words of how to arrange my sister today, and see if she doesn't beat you to death!"

Zhou Yu thought of the thirteen-year-old Sun Shangxiang, who was now able to get on the horse and throw a gun, shoot a bow and shoot arrows, and was obviously a violent guy like her father, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Brother, don't mind, I won't say it! But your sister has obviously become a sought-after sweetheart now, today it is Yuan Shu and Cao Cao who sent someone to propose, and tomorrow I don't know if there will be Liu Yan or Liu Biao to send someone to come, so go around and around, this time I will definitely have to get married." ”

Seeing that the eldest son and Zhou Yu were talking more and more outrageous, Sun Jian, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed a few times heavily, reminding a few juniors to pay more attention to the "order of the venue", so as not to be laughed at by Gu Yong, a celebrity who had just come in.

After the scene was quiet, Lu Su, who had not spoken, spoke: "You might as well invite Xu You in first and listen to what he has to say." ”

Sun Jian nodded, so he asked Gu Yong to go and invite Xu You over.

After the guests and hosts met, Sun Jian frowned and asked Xu You, saying, "I remember that Ziyuan (Xu Youzi) originally worked under Yuan Benchu's account, why did he switch to Cao Gong now?"

Xu You didn't expect Sun Jian to reveal his scars as soon as he came up, and he was full of slander, but he still replied calmly: "On the day of the destruction of Linji City, it happened that I was going to Yanzhou to discuss Qingzhou with Cao Gong, so I was lucky enough to avoid a difficulty. I and Cao Gong were old friends when they were in Luoyang, and now the old master has fallen, so I have switched to Yanzhou. ”

Why did Sun Jian make remarks to stimulate Xu Yu as soon as he came up? It was because he was also a veteran of negotiations. Since he had already guessed that Xu You came on behalf of Cao Cao this time to form an alliance, he had to occupy a favorable position from the beginning and psychologically oppress Xu You so that he could bargain later.

Sun Jian then asked Xu You again, saying: "Yanzhou is far away from the mountains and rivers of Wuzhou, and Mr. has come tirelessly, I don't know what is the important thing to do?"

Xu You finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that Sun Jian finally stopped being entangled in the matter of Cao Cao, so he said: "I came to visit Lord Wu this time, but there is a great joy to discuss!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, his face was depressed, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Yu and the others. When he heard the words "great joy" now, he was a little nervous.

Forcibly took the initiative to ask Xu You: "Did Lao Cao send you to propose marriage to his son?" This sentence, Sun Jian said with a flat face: "Please also ask Ziyuan to say 'great joy'!" When he said the three words "great joy", Sun Jian was obviously a word, as if he was holding back a lot of energy.

Xu You didn't know that everyone in the hall had just sent away a "matchmaker" Zhuge Jin, so he said confidently: "Cao Gong has a son named Zhi, with a handsome face, smart and wise, and can become a poem in seven steps. I heard that there is a woman under the knee of Lord Wu, who is beautiful and beautiful, and is both civil and military. Today, I am specially sent as the envoy of the relatives, and I am willing to marry the two families forever!"

After listening to Xu You's words, Sun Jian thought in his heart: Yes, if there is really another matchmaker, Cao Zhi, who wants to be his son-in-law this time, sounds very good, but it's a pity that he only has such a baby daughter.

Sun Jian, who already had experience, then said that Xu Youyuan was tired, so he would rest for one night first, and then discuss the marriage between the two families tomorrow.

Xu You is a person who often acts as a messenger, and he can see the height of his eyebrows, and he knows that this kind of important event must be discussed behind closed doors, so he also went back to the post house to rest first.

PS: Yesterday I promised the elephant to have two more chapters, but I was forced out at night and poured a belly of wine, and the two chapters in the plan were gone. Make up for it today......
