Chapter 69: Irreparable regret
"General Jing is a strong man."
Liu Qi sighed and said slowly: "But people die like lights going out, so generously to die, disloyal to the country, useless to the people, unsuccessful deeds, not established, how different from grass and trees?" ”
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Let what you say fall wildly, if you want someone to betray the prime minister, don't think about it!" ”
"Yuan Rang, why do you have a tendon in your brain?" Zhang Fei stood up anxiously on the side: "General Liu's is to let you not fight against us after you go back, I can't understand these words, no wonder I always lose the battle." ”
Xiahoudun said angrily: "Zhang Heizi, can you have a better brain than me?" ”
Zhang Fei scratched his head: "Anyway, it's better than you......"
"Okay, you don't have to argue!" Liu Qi hurriedly stopped the two and said, "If there is chaos today, there are many places to use it." Not to mention, a few days ago, Sun Quan had already sent troops to Huainan, and Lujiang, Chaohu and other places were occupied by Eastern Wu......"
"What?" Xiahoudun was shocked when he heard this, "Sun Quan'er, the two families have only been married for a long time, so they are so harmful, how can this be reasonable, what is the war situation now?" ”
Liu Qi roughly explained the battle situation, and said: "There are repeated villains in Eastern Wu, Sun Jian hiding the jade seal, Sun Ce deceiving Yuan Shu, and tricking Liu Xun are all villains, and they were stabbed when they married him. On the other hand, you and I fought against each other, but I left the lives of the generals, let me ask if in Soochow, the heads of the two generals still care? ”
"So what?" Xiahoudun snorted slightly, and his tone softened a lot.
Liu Qi is also true, there are no eyes on the battlefield, human life is like mustard in the fight, and killing the enemy is the best opportunity for meritorious service.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Instead of marrying the Sun family, it is better to marry us." ”
Xiahou glanced at Liu Qi and snorted coldly: "I don't have a daughter!" ”
"No, no, no!" Liu Qi waved his hand and smiled: "Our two families are actually still married, so that the niece and Yide are privately engaged for life, although there are heirs, but after all, the etiquette has not been completed, it is a regret in life, why not make this matter a big deal, Ming Media is marrying?" ”
"General......" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, staring at Liu Qi with big eyes, full of emotion.
He acted generously and informally all his life, but the only one who felt sorry was Xiahoujuan, who endured humiliation and followed him, traveled around for many years, and couldn't meet his family.
The most important thing is that Xiahou Juan is deeply loved by Xiahou Juan's brothers, when the Central Plains was in turmoil, the people were not able to make a living, Xiahou Yuan ruthlessly abandoned his young son because of lack of food and hunger, and raised the orphan daughter of the third brother, but he didn't expect to be pulled hard, but he was snatched away by Zhang Fei, how could the two brothers not be angry?
Xiahou Juan is also often grateful for the nurturing grace of the two uncles, although she is determined to follow Zhang Fei, but she often feels guilty, but both sides are their own masters, and the great cause is the most important, which is a regret that can never be made up.
Although Liu Bei and Guan Yu are very righteous, they only care about the great cause and only talk about brotherhood, where to care about the private affairs of their children, Liu Bei even abandons his wife and children at any time, not to mention the marriage of the two brothers.
Today, Liu Qi suddenly mentioned personal matters, which is tantamount to poking at the softest side of this steel man.
Let Xiahou Juan get married, get the blessing and recognition of her mother's family, and have a real name, this is a scene that his husband and wife never dreamed of, Liu Qi actually wants to match this matter.
Xiahoudun didn't expect Liu Qi to care about these trivial matters, and wondered: "It's that simple?" ”
"It's that simple!" Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "The general's ransom should be regarded as a dowry, you have to send more family members to marry your niece beautifully, I think General Xiahou Yuan is also happy to see it, right?" ”
Xiahoudun was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I want to meet Juan'er!" ”
Zhang Fei endured the reddened eyes and took a deep breath: "I'll take you to Xiangyang tomorrow." ”
Xiahoudun looked at Zhang Fei's expression, as if he was very affectionate to his niece, and his heart was a lot more steady, and he raised his head with his hands behind his back: "Call father-in-law first!" ”
"Get out-" Zhang Fei let out a low roar, bowed his head and walked out quickly.
"It's okay to call the second uncle!" Xiahoudun followed and chased out.
was already captured and ridiculed, so he simply pulled a cushion on his back, disgusting and disgusting Zhang Fei, in order to avenge the robbery of his niece back then.
After eating, Liu Qi brought Xiahoudun to see Cao Ren and informed him of the Huainan war, Cao Ren was furious, after all, it was his daughter who married Sun Kuang, and he didn't expect Sun Quan to turn against him so quickly.
Xiahoudun scolded in a low voice: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have let my niece marry Jiangdong." ”
Cao Ren smashed the table with a punch, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go to Huainan in person to discuss an explanation with the Sun family." ”
Although the marriage of women in this era is only a political tool, after all, it is their own flesh and blood, and marrying Jiangdong far away has made Cao Ren reluctant to give up, and now Sun Quan has turned against him, and his daughter's life in the Sun family is even more difficult.
Liu Qi took the opportunity to say: "Sun Quan wants to take this opportunity to enter Huainan and control Jianghuai with the advantage of the navy, and he must have the intention of plotting Xuzhou and even the Central Plains." I am about to send troops to avenge the killing of Huang Zu, if the two generals clash with Eastern Wu, you and I will echo each other, and the Sun family will lose more than it gains. ”
Cao Ren quickly calmed down and looked at Liu Qi: "General Liu is really willing to let the two of us go back without collecting ransom money?" ”
Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "That's natural, the gentleman's agreement between you and me, I think the two generals will definitely abide by it, and it will never be as capricious as Sun Quan, right?" ”
"Hmph, Hugh wants to mention the blue eyes again!" Cao Ren snorted coldly, and said: "Cao was captured twice, although he had the intention of underestimating the enemy, he was also convinced!" In the future, I, Cao Ren, will not step into Jingzhou for half a step, if I meet the general in front of the battle, I should ask for a change of commander, and the general of the defeated army will have the face to fight again?"
Xiahou clasped his fists and said: "It's the same!" ”
"Okay, today's agreement, the emperor and the queen of heaven will learn together!" Liu Qi grabbed the arms of the two and sighed: "The world is falling apart, the two generals still have more useful places, one day in the future, maybe we can still fight side by side." ”
The two of them bowed their heads and sighed, it was a great shame to lose at the hands of a sick man who had never led the army, if it weren't for Cao Cao staring at them, they really didn't have the face to return to Xuchang.
Although today's agreement is compromised, it is also to help Cao Cao build his career again, and he cannot let Cao's good foundation be buried.
As for Jingzhou, when Cao Cao reorganizes his troops and horses, leads other generals to another shame, and eliminates Liu Qi, today's agreement will turn into smoke, who can remember?
Just when the two of them were thinking about their own affairs, they heard Liu Qi suddenly ask, "I wonder if General Cao still has a daughter?" ”
"No, no!" Cao Ren waved his hand resolutely and stared at Liu Qi vigilantly: "There is still a daughter, but she has already promised to marry the Wei family." ”
"It's a pity, I still want to find a good family for my brother......" Liu Qi shrugged his shoulders regretfully, which was actually a hint to the Cao family.
All this was discussed by Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, and now the strength is not enough to start a full-scale war with Cao Cao.
Try to stiffen the relationship between Sun Cao and the two families and ease the relationship between Jingzhou, so that they can develop in Yizhou with peace of mind.
The purpose of putting these two back is also to contain Dongwu, otherwise Zhou Yu will never sit idly by.
