After living in Guanfu for half a month, Sun Qian finally came back from Jiangdong.

Moreover, Sun Qian also brought back a person Lu Fan from Jiangdong.

Lu Fan came to be a matchmaker, but not for Zhang Xi, but for Liu Bei.

This matter is a bit complicated to say, Lu Fan himself is also a lawsuit.

But there is no way, in addition to being a matchmaker, Lu Fan also has to take Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong. Ordinary people really can't do this job, and they can only do it if Lu Fan, an old minister in Jiangdong, comes out.

Therefore, when Lu Fan arrived in Xiakou, he met Sun Shangxiang for the first time, first stabilized this jumping little girl, and then she ran around in the province, and she couldn't find anyone when she turned around to get married.

Then Lu Fan was almost beaten out of Zhang's Mansion by Sun Shangxiang.

As soon as Sun Shangxiang saw Lu Fan, his face was immediately gloomy to the extreme.

No need to ask, Lu Fan's arrival must have come to pick him up and go back to Jiangdong.

If it weren't for Lu Fan being an old minister of the two dynasties, his status in Jiangdong would not be much different from Zhou Yu's, and Sun Shangxiang would not be able to bombard people directly.

When I heard Lu Fan's intention again, he proposed to Liu Bei, and Sun Shangxiang almost really did it.

Fortunately, Lu Fan's reaction was fast, and he didn't sell it to Sun Shangxiang, so he hurriedly said all the tasks of his mission.

It is true to propose marriage to Liu Bei, but it is not to marry Sun Shangxiang, but to propose marriage to the niece of the Buqi family.

That is, Lu Fan said it quickly, Sun Shangxiang stopped in time and asked Lu Fan, what is going on.

Then, Lu Fan smiled bitterly and told the whole thing again.

Sun Qian sent an envoy to Jiangdong, met with Sun Quan, and conveyed that Liu Bei wanted to be a matchmaker for Zhang Xi, proposed to Sun Quan, and asked to marry Sun Shangxiang.

If Sun Quan hadn't seen Sun Qian as a messenger at that time, he would have almost turned his face on the spot.

What kind of thing is Zhang Xi, who dares to marry his own sister?!

Liu Bei is not a thing, he hinted at marriage twice, can't Liu Bei see it?!

The first time you say something "age does not match", the second time it is better, to propose to your subordinates. Could it be that you don't like my Sun Quan's sister, and she is only worthy of marrying a petty official under you?!

Sun Quan was angry enough at that time, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to maintain the demeanor of a prince, he might have driven Sun Qian out directly.

For the time being, Sun Qian was placed in the pavilion, and the more Sun Quan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he almost flipped the table.

And at this time, Zhou Yu came to visit.

Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang a few days earlier than Sun Qian, and he originally returned to Chaisang to discuss a very important military action with Sun Quan.

Then I happened to encounter this incident.

Sun Quan also didn't treat Zhou Yu as an outsider, so he angrily told Zhou Yu about it on the spot, one was to find someone to vent his dissatisfaction, and the other was to ask Zhou Yu how to deal with this matter.

Zhou Yuxin said that what else can be done about this?!

Liu Bei is just looking for an excuse and doesn't want to marry you, but he knows it, that's why he's so angry, isn't it?!

But Sun Quan is the lord, Zhou Yu can only help Sun Quan to condemn Liu Bei's ignorance, and then remind Sun Quan euphemistically. Your sister is in Xiakou now, no matter what your plan is, let's get them back first.

As soon as he talked about this, Sun Quan inevitably had to talk to Zhou Yu again.

"Gong Jin, it's your fault for this matter!" Sun Quan frowned and said to Zhou Yu, "Since the little sister has arrived in Jiangling, you should watch her, how can you still let her sneak away from Jiangling City, if not, why are these things coming about now?!" ”

Zhou Yu squinted slightly, and said in his heart that the master's ability to shake the pot is getting more and more powerful. Why don't you say that you saw your little sister at the beginning, don't let her slip away from Chaisang?!

Again, Zhou Yu was also very dissatisfied with Sun Quan's insistence on marrying Liu Bei.

The little sister ran away before, and the person was not in Chaisang, and Sun Quan was not good at talking about marriage directly, so when he sent someone to discuss with Liu Bei, he only said that he was married, and did not mention the name of the little sister.

Originally, Liu Bei also refused to do this, if you don't do so much, the little sister will come back a long time ago, as for hiding from that bastard kid in Zhang Xi?!

But at this time, Sun Quan received a letter from Zhou Yu to report Sun Shangxiang's safety.

After learning that Sun Shangxiang had arrived at Zhou Yu's territory, Sun Quan's mind also became active, and he told Sun Gan again what "heroic beauty" he was talking about, just thinking about marrying Sun Shangxiang.

Now it's okay, not only did they not accept it, but they simply proposed to Zhang Xi directly and asked to marry the little sister.

On the one hand, it's an excuse, on the other hand, Xiaomei is now living in Zhang Xi's mansion, people take into account Xiaomei's reputation, and they don't publicize it to the public for the time being, but if Sun Quan really annoys the other party, and people spread this matter, Xiaomei's reputation is still missing, how can you use Xiaomei to marry?!

Is Liu Bei really a bully back-to-back pick-up man?!

Therefore, Zhou Yu can only persuade and persuade Sun Quan to take advantage of the fact that he has not yet said death, and let Sun Shangxiang get married.

To tell the truth, Zhou Yu is selfish here, he really loves Sun Shangxiang and doesn't want to see Sun Shangxiang marry Liu Bei. In addition, in terms of his own position, although Zhou Yu knew the necessity of the Sun-Liu Alliance, he did not want to strengthen the Sun-Liu Alliance, so he persuaded him like this.

But for Sun Quan, the Sun-Liu alliance is necessary, which is an effective way to deter Cao Cao in the north.

It has been two years since the first battle of Chibi, and Cao Cao in the north still does not dare to peep into the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to Cao Cao to sort out the internal turmoil after the defeat of Chibi, the alliance between the two families of Sun and Liu is also an important factor.

Therefore, Sun Quan also needs the Sun-Liu Alliance as a banner to buy time for his own development and growth.

In this regard, Zhou Yu also has to admit that Sun Quan's concerns are justified.

If it weren't for the banner of the Sun-Liu Alliance, Sun Quan would not have been able to withstand the pressure of Cao Cao in the north, and he would still be able to dispatch soldiers and send Buqi south to Jiaozhou, meddling in the territory of Jiaozhou Shixie, and there would be no way to use troops against Shanyue to obtain the population of Shanyue.

So, Zhou Yu thought about it, since Sun Quan didn't want the Sun-Liu alliance to break down, then go back to the old road and pick a daughter of the Jiangdong family to send Liu Bei over as his wife.

On the one hand, it can be regarded as strengthening the alliance between the two families, and Sun Quan will not lose face.

On the other hand, the influence of a family's concubine is not great, which is convenient for Sun Quan to use this as a reason to test the reaction of the Jiangdong family and make a series of preparations for Jiangdong's internal integration.

As for marrying some women who are good at seduction, although this is a bit lacking in morality, but what if it works?!

Sun Quan thought about it, and there was no better way.

If the little sister is in Chaisang or Gangneung, the best way is definitely to let the little sister marry her.

But the little sister is now in Xiakou, and Liu Bei also knows that the little sister is now in Xiakou, so if he proposes to let the little sister marry at this time, then he really doesn't treat Liu Bei as an ally.

So, if you marry a girl from a family, you can do it a little higher in terms of specifications, and you can do it a little bigger.

However, although it is said that he is marrying the daughter of a family, Sun Quan still has a certain degree of wariness against those people in the Jiangdong family, and he doesn't want them to take advantage of this line to catch up with Liu Bei, which will be even more unfavorable to Sun Quan's rule in Jiangdong Isn't there a niece in Buzishan who is also an adult, just right, it's her.

Buqi's family background is much stronger than that of these Jiangdong families, and they are the leaders of the family in Huainan, if it weren't for the war, Buqi would not have run from Huainan to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan has no doubt about Buqi's loyalty to the old minister of the Huaisi Group, and he doesn't have to worry about Buqiu having anything to do with Liu Bei, which is much safer than marrying the daughters of those Jiangdong families.

And more importantly, in April this year, Sun Quan just accepted Buqi's daughter as a concubine, and now he will marry Buqi's niece to Liu Bei as his wife, so that Sun Quan and Liu Bei can be regarded as brothers-in-law, barely a marriage.

In this way, Sun Quan decided to marry Liu Bei, and although Zhou Yu still felt that it was not good, he didn't say anything in the end.

Next, there is the problem of Sun Shangxiang, who has a headache. This little sister must not let her continue to stay in Xiakou, she has to pick it up quickly.

As for Zhang Xi's request to marry his little sister, Sun Quan didn't want to refuse.

But Zhou Yu stopped.

On the one hand, Zhou Yu is also similar to Guan Yu, and thinks that the little sister really has a crush on Zhang Xi, otherwise where will this girl go, she has to go to Zhang Xi?!

also chased all the way from Youjiangkou to Xiakou, if there is no greasy between the two, who will believe it.

As for the issue of identity, it is true that Zhang Xi is from a poor family, but now his status in Liu Bei's group and his reputation in the land of Jingxiang are no longer bad.

Hawkers, the second half of the sentence can't be said, even if it's Zhou Yu, it can't stimulate Sun Quan's nerves in this regard.

On the other hand. Zhou Yu thought of the important event that he had discussed with Sun Quan when he returned to Chaisang.

Introduce Liu Bei to a wife, no matter how big the trouble is, it won't delay Liu Bei much.

But if Sun Quan marries his sister, then at least in Jiangxia, he can't deal with it casually, and even Liu Bei, as the matchmaker who helped Zhang Xi propose marriage, has to go to Jiangxia to preside over the wedding in person.

In this case, the entire Jingnan may not be too guarded.

Of course, here Zhou Yu is not lacking in heart, and wants to use Sun Shangxiang's happiness as a cover, planning to attack Jingnan. He wanted to go west and capture Yizhou.

Now Nanjun is in a very bad situation, the north will face Cao Cao's pressure, and the south and east are surrounded by Liu Bei's group.

Especially after Liu Bei occupied the mouth of the Youjiang River, even the transportation of soldiers and ordnance supplies to Nanjun depended on the face of Liu Bei's group.

Now the only way out is to send troops from Nanjun and capture Yizhou.

And once he captures Yizhou and occupies the land of Liangchuan, on the one hand, he can completely trap Liu Bei's group in Jingnan, and on the other hand, Sun Quan, who owns the land of Sizhou, does not need to form an alliance with Liu Bei again, he can directly destroy Liu Bei, occupy the entire Jingzhou, and share the world equally with Cao Cao.

It's just that there are a lot of preparations to be made to capture Xichuan.

Nanjun is a grain-producing area, but there is no shortage of food, but the troops are a little insufficient, and they need to recruit and train, and they also need military supplies, which are difficult to solve by Nanjun alone, so they also need the support of Jiangdong.

However, if there is a large-scale stockpiling of grain to recruit troops and build ordnance, it is difficult not to arouse the vigilance of Liu Bei's group.

There are many capable people in Liu Bei's group, and if he recruits troops and grain in Nanjun, it is easy for people to see through his strategic intentions.

For Liu Bei Group, if they want to develop on the basis of not destroying the Sun-Liu Alliance, Yizhou is also their goal.

So Zhou Yu had to find an event that could divert the attention of Liu Bei's group.

Well, now the incident has come to the door on its own.

An event is Liu Bei's wife, which is a major event, and Liu Bei Group must be carefully prepared.

Another incident is the matter of Sun Quan's marriage to his sister, Liu Bei is a matchmaker, Zhang Xi's father-in-law, and he is also the only person who can be equal to Sun Quan's level in terms of identity, so he must be present in person to preside over the wedding.

Then even if there are people left behind in Jingnan, they may not pay too much attention to the changes in the strength of Nanjun.

The two marriages got together, and no matter what, they had to keep Liu Bei's group busy for a few months, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the changes in the strength of Nanjun.

And with this time, Zhou Yu would have been ready to go on the expedition a long time ago.

Once Zhou Yu is on the march, it will be a fait accompli, even if Liu Bei wants to oppose it, there is no way.

Finally, it is also Zhou Yu's selfishness. Fulfill the little sister, Brother Bo Fu loved the little sister the most during his lifetime, and giving her a good home is also Zhou Yu's wish to be an elder brother.

Based on this, Zhou Yu tried his best to persuade Sun Quan, and simply agreed to the marriage.
