Qiao Guolao naturally did not dare to disagree with such a request. When the two were sent off, a large number of officials came to congratulate him. For a time, Qiao Guolao's house was full of traffic and wealth.

As for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they hurriedly returned to Yangzhou again. Just as Sun Ce was worried, Sun Shangxiang was very resistant to this matter at first.

It's just that she is a cardamom girl, how can she stop Zhou Yu's bright tongue.

"Miss, in the past, the old master died while attacking Jingzhou. The two generations of the Sun family worked hard to conquer the huge Jiangdong, and now they have taken Yuzhou. However, all the princes in this world are ambitious and want to To compete for the highest position." Zhou Yu said bitterly, but Sun Shangxiang turned his head away and refused to listen.

Sun Ce on the side glared, and Sun Shangxiang wanted to cry, but this made Sun Ce anxiously helpless. His girl was spoiled by a group of people when she was a child, and when did she suffer any grievances.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce was of little use here, so he opened his mouth and said, "My lord, you go outside and wait for a while, and I will persuade the eldest lady."

"No need to persuade, it's useless for any of you to say, anyway, I'm not going to marry!" Sun Shangxiang pouted cherry and covered her ears in a fit of anger.

Zhou Yu said in a low voice, "You don't know what Eldest Miss, if this battle fails, do you know what the outcome will be?" After a pause, Zhou Yu smiled wryly: "Liu Rui is a hero in the world, and he is in the north. Today I am a hero. It is also helpless to make this decision with the lord. Now that the lord has launched an army, whether it is successful or not, there is no way to change it. If the eldest miss does not agree, then we will only fight to the end. If there is any misfortune between me and the lord in the future, I also ask the eldest lady to take good care of the old lady!"

Hearing Zhou Yu talking about her mother, Sun Shangxiang stopped playing her temper, just lowered her head and said nothing.

"Miss, even if you agree, the lord is reluctant to marry you. We're only deceiving Liu Rui temporarily."

"Miss, you have to focus on the overall situation. If you don't nod and agree, the old lady will never agree. Do you really have the heart to watch the master die in battle?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel anxious. .

It was also at this time that Sun Shangxiang raised his head faintly and whispered: "Brother Gongjin, if you really decide to marry me to Liu Rui, don't lie to him, I promise you, I will try my best to help eldest brother in the future. Persuade that Liu Rui."

After a pause, Sun Shangxiang said firmly: "If you kill him, I will be a widow for the rest of my life. Otherwise, how can people in this world see our Sun family in Jiangdong?"

After a long time, Zhou Yu bowed his hands and bowed deeply, and said, "I often hear that the eldest lady has a chivalrous style, but today Gongjin just found out that I, Jiangdong Sun Shangxiang, are really good people. Wonderful woman in the world!" ,, . . .

446: Jiangdong proposes marriage

Sun Shangxiang nodded and agreed, and Sun Ce was overjoyed immediately. After learning about Sun Shangxiang's decision, Sun Ce was speechless for a long time, but his eyes became more determined to subdue Liu Rui.

With Sun Shangxiang's nod, Sun Ce's mother naturally would not object. Instead, after learning about Zhou Yu's plan, she highly praised it, and even took care of everything herself. It didn't take long before Jiang Dong sent an envoy to enter Liu Rui in a grand manner. under the rule of...

I heard that it was a team of relatives sent by Jiangdong. Who under Liu Rui dared to stop it?Not only that, the team of relatives was also entertained all the way, and under the personal guidance of officials from various places, they quickly headed towards Chang'an.

And this matter was also rushed to Liu Rui's house. He just heard half of it, and Liu Rui laughed bitterly. In the original history, Jiang Dong had done such a thing, and now it is on his own head, and Liu Rui also Couldn't help but cry.However, at this moment, Sun Ce's decision to make such a decision is full of peculiarities.It is also for this reason that Liu Rui directly summoned everyone under his command to discuss the matter.

Hearing this news, everyone was silent for a moment, and then saw Guo Jia stand up and say with a smile: "My lord, this matter must not be easily agreed." After a pause, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Back then, Sun Ce attacked Yuan Shu. At that time, I wondered why Cao Mengde and Liu Biao would sit idly by, and now it seems that some kind of tacit understanding, or even some kind of connection, has been reached between these princes."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia said with a chuckle: "This year, the weather is good, not only we have enough food and grass, but the princes have also harvested a lot. Now it seems that some people are starting to get restless."

Liu Rui nodded, he naturally knew that Sun Ce had no good intentions, but only after guessing the other party's purpose could he decide what to do next.

It was also at this time that Mei Changsu smiled and said, "My lord, in recent days, our spies and spies in various princes' territories have discovered a lot of information, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or false."

Liu Rui said in surprise: "Is there any information, come and listen."

Mei Changsu smiled and said: "Sun Ce disappeared with Zhou Yu for a while a few days ago, but the place where he went was guarded by a large army, and our people couldn't get in. But not long after, Sun Ce suddenly appeared in the Jiangdong, and also proposed marriage to Qiao Guolao of Jiangdong. Then, he returned directly to Yangzhou. According to the information, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Shangxiang in the mansion for half a day, and then his subordinates received the news of the marriage. "

Liu Rui nodded. Mei Changsu has always been in charge of intelligence work. However, this kind of thing will only be reported unless it is true news. Misjudgment, then the loss at that time may be too great.

Mei Changsu said again, "Apart from Sun Ce, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Bei, Lv Bu of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao all disappeared for a few days at the same time, and his subordinates guessed that maybe the five princes have joined forces. "Qiankun Listening Book Network www.qktsw.com

Liu Rui nodded, and disappeared mysteriously at the same time, not because Liu Rui's intelligence work was not enough, but it just reflected how seriously the princes paid attention to things at that time.And the five princes disappeared at the same time. Apart from getting together, Liu Rui believed that there was no other possibility.

Thinking of this, Liu Rui said: "If the five of them unite, it will be a little troublesome, but since they have formed an alliance, Sun Ce's proposal to marry must be a conspiracy."

Mei Changsu chuckled again: "In addition to these five princes, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong also had contact with mysterious powers. Our tip said that Zhang Lu was happy for several days, and his advisors and generals also reported I have made a small fortune, and I can’t get rid of that Cao Mengde.” After a pause, Mei Changsu said again: “In the past, Zhang Lu sent thousands of troops to help the lord, but now it seems that Zhang Lu is afraid. It is very likely that he will betray the lord."

Liu Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Cao Cao's territory borders us. If there is a war, he will bear the brunt of Cao Mengde, and he is naturally the most anxious. As for Zhang Lu, if he had the heart to join, I'm afraid he would have come to Chang'an long ago. By now If he doesn't come, it's enough to explain his mind." After a pause, Liu Rui asked again, "Is there another Liu Zhang? Didn't Cao Cao look for Liu Zhang?"

Mei Changsu nodded and said, "Some people have also looked for it, but it doesn't seem to be successful. However, many of Liu Zhang's subordinates may have received bribes, and they need to be cautious in the future."

Liu Rui nodded and said with a chuckle: "Whether we have it or not, this Liu Zhang will not come to help us. If we are caught, then Liu Zhang will also rush up and take a bite. In the end, we are now in harmony with the world. Enemy!"

Having said that, Liu Rui looked around everyone in the room, but found that everyone's expressions were different, but they were frowning and thinking, or listening, or nodding seriously, but no one was afraid or timid.Seeing this, Liu Rui laughed and said: "Everyone, Chang Su has already told everyone the information, is there anything you want to say?"

Guo Jia on the side said: "My lord, the most urgent task is to analyze the intentions of the princes from these many pieces of information. According to the information of military division Mei, I am afraid that at least Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and Lu Bu have already formed a group. Then Cao Cao and Liu Biao acquiesced that Sun Ce would attack Yuan Shu in order to pull Sun Ce into the water. I am afraid that several of them have already formed an alliance. As a result, we have borders with Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Gunzhou, so we must analyze their intentions to advance. It's good to send troops to defend in time."

Liu Rui nodded, Sun Ce's proposed marriage was just a conspiracy after all, perhaps in order to use this marriage proposal to numb himself and delay the time.When the time comes, the army will attack while he is slack, and in a hurry, how can Liu Rui be able to defend against it?

Thinking of this, Liu Rui opened his mouth and said, "Anyway, let's wait for the Jiangdong's relatives to go to Chang'an to give it a try. No matter what medicine Sun Ce sells in the gourd, we just continue to rectify military affairs, actively prepare for war, and fight in Japan in the future. It can also be dealt with in a timely manner.”

In the recent period of time, Liu Rui's military training has not stopped, but has become more and more strict at Liu Rui's request.After the last war, Liu Rui was ultimately unable to attack the remaining few due to Liu Biao's intrusion. Since then, these princes have been trying to expand their army. Everyone knows that there will be a war sooner or later. to explode.

And now Sun Ce's proposal to marry, seems to be some kind of omen before the outbreak of the war. , , .

447: Kong Ming guesses

Just when Liu Rui was about to let everyone go back to rest first, Zhuge Liang suddenly stood up and said in surprise, "My lord, I know!"

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment. This kid has been following behind him every day recently, researching this and that mysteriously. If he hadn't jumped out at this moment, Liu Rui would have almost forgotten.

Seeing that it was Zhuge Liang, Liu Rui smiled and said, "What does Kong Ming know?"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you promised Sun Ce's marriage?"

Everyone was stunned. When they first heard the news of Sun Ce and the relatives, they all subconsciously chose to refuse, but did not think deeply about the outcome if they agreed.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My lord, now we are sitting on the land of the five northern states, and we are the most powerful among the princes. Originally, in the eyes of the world, we were the most likely."

Everyone nodded, what Zhuge Liang said was the truth.

Zhuge Liang laughed again: "Everyone, please imagine that if Jiangdong Sun Ce formed an alliance with us, then Sun Ce, who occupied Yuzhou and Yangzhou, plus us, would be able to easily surround Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu. Liu Biao of Jingzhou is also difficult to support alone, so wouldn’t the world be within reach?”

Liu Rui nodded and smiled and said, "Kong Ming's remarks are well-founded, but why is Sun Ce so kind? If we eliminate Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others, what will Sun Ce use to stop us?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "That's right. After Sun Wentai's death, Jiangdong was in great chaos. Sun Ce fought in the north and south all these years. He finally took down Yangzhou and took Yuzhou non-stop. How could he be willing to surrender?" He smiled again: "I thought about it, and found that this whole thing seems to benefit us without harm, but the most strange thing is precisely this!"
