Chapter 445: Receiving the letter, Sun Quan wants to compromise
Chapter 445: Sun Quan wants to compromise after receiving the letter
"Asshole, you bullied Liu Zhang too much. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you." After Zhang Hong stayed in Wuwei for half a month, his letter arrived in Jingzhou. Sun Ce, who was at the foot of Jiangling City, was the first to receive the letter. After reading it
After writing the letter, Sun Ce acted as if he was crazy and roared in the Chinese army's tent. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to go in outside the tent.
"Lord, what happened?" The saying that a skilled person is bold and others dare not enter does not mean that Pang Tong did not dare. After Sun Ce yelled for half an hour, Pang Tong was really worried and broke into the tent. Enter.
Behind the tent, he saw Sun Ce lying on the handsome desk, panting like an ox.
"Shi Yuan?" Sun Ce turned around, startling Pang Yi. His originally handsome face was full of ferocity, and veins were popping from his forehead to his neck. His eyes were blood red, and even his teeth seemed to be protruding. If he continues
With long hair all over his body, he definitely transformed into a werewolf on a full moon night. Of course, among today's big men, the only one who knows that there is such an animal as a werewolf is Liu Zhang
"Lord, what's wrong with you?" Pang Tong rushed up to support Sun Ce and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I feel uncomfortable." Sun Ce burst into tears and burst into tears, which made Pang Tong very uncomfortable.
Just imagine, a man who is extremely brave, handsome, and capable, and it seems that nothing in the world can stop him, suddenly feels aggrieved and cries very sadly, and you are the one he cries in his arms. If you are a woman
It's okay, but you are a very ugly, but very normal man. How do you feel at this moment? Needless to say, it must be very awkward, and maybe a little disgusting. This is how Pang Tong feels.
"What happened?" Pang Tong really didn't understand what could happen in the world that would make Sun Ce, the overlord, cry like this.
"Read it yourself." A letter was handed to Pang Tong. After reading it, Pang Tong smiled and said: "My lord, this is a good thing."
"What?" Sun Ce felt aggrieved and angry. He grabbed Pang Tong by the collar and said, "Pang Shiyuan, I trust you so much, but you actually said such a thing. Believe it or not, I will twist your head off right now."
"
"My Lord, please be patient," Pang Tong sighed, "You only see the grievances, but not the benefits. Let me ask you, how old is Liu Jiyu this year?"
"This..." Sun Ce thought for a moment and said, "I was twelve or thirteen, and he was sixteen or seventeen. He was probably four or five years older than me."
Pang Tong asked again: "How much older are you than Miss Sun?"
"About ten years old" Sun Ce asked angrily: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Can you please be patient?" Pang Tong said, "In other words, Liu Zhang is fourteen or fifteen years older than the lady."
"Almost" Sun Ce said patiently, but his face was still very ferocious.
"If the young lady marries Liu Zhang, will it be considered a good match?" Pang Tong said seriously and solemnly: "Master, please speak with your conscience."
"Forget it," Sun Ce said: "Liu Jiyu is a hero in the world. Even his father admires him very much. I heard that he dotes on his wives and concubines very much. If my little sister can marry him, she will definitely be a good match."
"When this crisis is over, our army will definitely unite with Cao Cao's army. Otherwise, Liu Zhang will be able to defeat our army and Cao Cao one by one. By then, can the second young master not marry the young lady to the Cao family? Let's not talk about Cao Cao for now.
Among Cao Cao's sons, who is worthy of the lady, who is younger than Liu Zhang, but can their achievements be comparable to Liu Zhang?" Pang Tong said to himself: "My lord, the lady's marriage is destined to be controlled by others, you only have to do it now.
I can make the best choice for her.”
"This...I..." Sun Ce wanted to say: The second brother can't do it. But he couldn't say it because he knew that as long as there was profit, Sun Quan would sell everything, including family ties.
"My lord, you have to think clearly. Even if the young lady does not marry the Cao family, she will marry a child of aristocratic families in Jiangdong. Those talented children of aristocratic families are bent on pursuing fame, wealth and family interests. How can they care for women? They have no ability.
He is a dandy who spends a lot of time living and drinking. When the time comes, it is better to give the lady to the champion." Pang Tong's words seemed to move Sun Ce, and he saw Sun Ce holding Pang Tong's collar hand and slowly loosening it.
"I...I'm not willing to accept it." Sun Ce let go of Pang Tong's collar and slammed the handsome case with his fist. The solid wooden handsome case was like a bell and a drum, and it made a loud bang.
Pang Tong sighed: "My lord, there is nothing to be unwilling to do. There is always a choice in the world. As long as you make the best choice, it will be the best result. Say something to make the lord unhappy. If the champion wins the world in the future, there will be a young lady."
By his side, the Sun family's bloodline may still be able to survive, otherwise the Sun family will be in danger."
"Shi Yuan, you..." Sun Ce said helplessly: "You are too alarmist."
"Lord, I haven't said anything. Actually, I don't want to undermine your confidence." Pang Tong said very sincerely: "From my perspective on world affairs, if Sun and Cao unite, they may be able to defeat Liu Zhang. If you want to defeat him, it is unlikely.
Unless he died suddenly, it is said that Liu Zhang cherished himself very much. Not to mention being vigilant about his diet, he usually paid attention to exercise and exercised restraint in everything. In addition, he was protected by Dian Wei and his son when he went out. It can be said that at his age, he
There shouldn't be any problem if he lives for twenty or thirty years. As long as he doesn't die, doesn't become confused, and doesn't destroy the city wall, our hope of victory is slim."
"Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan, why do you make me feel so embarrassed when you say this?" The blood in Sun Ce's eyes disappeared, the veins on his neck slowly receded, and he returned to his heroic appearance.
"My lord, actually you don't need to choose." Pang Tong said with a smile: "Anyway, you are not the lord of Jiangdong. You only need to leave this matter to the second young master. If the second young master agrees, it will be a good thing for the lady to follow Liu Zhang. If
His disagreement shows that he still cares about family ties. In the future, unless he has no choice, he will not marry a young lady. As for the embarrassment, it is Jiangdong's face and the Second Young Master's face, so it has nothing to do with you."
"That's my sister." Sun Ce stared at Pang Tong fiercely, but unfortunately she had no lethality.
"She is also the second young master's sister." Pang Tong shook his head slightly, but it made Sun Ce feel sad.
"The dignified Mr. Sun actually has to rely on a woman to sell her body for protection and beg for help. It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous. If my father has a spirit in heaven, will he be angry to death from us unfilial sons again?" He looked at
On the top of the tent, Sun Ce took a deep breath and said: "Shiyuan, this matter will be handled as you wish. Write your opinions on this letter and send it to Ruxukou."
"Yes, my lord." Seeing that Sun Ce calmed down, Pang Tong picked up the pen and ink on the commander's case and wrote at the end of the letter: "This matter is of great importance. I don't know how to deal with it, so I ask my lord to make a decision."
"That's it." After Pang Tong finished writing, Sun Ce sighed and said helplessly: "Shi Yuan, are there a lot of people gathered outside the tent? Let them disperse and you can go too. I'm very tired and want to take a good rest.
take a break"
"My subordinates say goodbye." Pang Tong folded the letter and put it in his arms. Then he bowed to Sun Ce and walked out of the tent. He dispersed the people surrounding the tent and then sent someone to deliver the letter to Ruxukou.
Five days later, the letter signed by Sun Ce with his opinions finally arrived at Ruxukou, but before that, Sun Quan had not received any relevant letter. It can be said that Sun Quan was caught off guard by Sun Ce's letter, and Zhang Hong immediately became a target of suspicion.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhao had a good relationship with Zhang Hong, and he explained for Zhang Hong. After all, letters had to pass through enemy-occupied areas, and it was normal for them to be seized.
"Forget it." After thinking about Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan felt that it made sense, so he stopped pursuing it. He shook his head and said, "Zi Bu, what do you think of this letter?"
"My lord, you shouldn't ask me about this matter, but let everyone discuss it." Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "My lord doesn't even need to express his position, he only needs to guide him."
"Oh?" Sun Quan asked with a smile, "How do you say this?"
"My lord, why do you need to test me?" Zhang Zhao said: "As soon as this letter comes out, some people will naturally agree and some will oppose it. My lord does not need to express his position. He only needs to ask them what to do if they refuse and what to do if they agree. In the end, it will definitely develop in the direction that the lord wants.
I just don’t know if my lord wants the young lady to marry Liu Zhang.”
"This..." Sun Quan asked with a smile: "So what if you want to, so what if you don't want to?"
"I'll have to ask my lord." Zhang Zhao shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway, a woman's marriage, for such a national event, is just a window-dressing and a sign of weakness. It all depends on what the lord wants.
I don’t want to show weakness.”
Sun Quan sighed: "Of course I don't want to show weakness, but we are indeed weak. Dare I ask Zibu, is there any way to impress Liu Zhang without showing weakness?"
"Maybe." Zhang Zhao spread his palms and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have one."
"Alas...I don't have one either." Sun Quan sighed and ordered: "Pass my order and order all the civil and military personnel to come to the big tent to discuss matters."
The civil and military officials arrived one after another. After everyone arrived, Sun Quan put the letter on the commander's desk, sighed and said nothing. Seeing his lord sigh, as a close confidant of Sun Quan, Lu Meng couldn't help but ask: "My lord, are you out?
What is it that makes you sigh so much?"
"Ziming," Sun Quan sighed with a mournful face, "Jiangdong is about to lose his face."
"What happened?" Although through reading, Lu Meng was no longer the Amen of Wu Xia back then, but his temper was still bad. When Sun Quan hesitated to speak, his behavior was a bit extreme.
"Read it yourself." Throwing the letter to Lu Meng, Sun Quan sighed again.
"Liu Jiyu is too bullying." After reading the letter, Lu Meng was furious and wanted to tear up the letter.
"Ziming can't," Zhang Zhao said, "if you tear up this letter, I, Jiangdong, will be in danger."
"What?" Lu Meng stopped and asked with a puzzled face: "Mr. Zibu, what do you mean by this?"
"Ziming, I don't need to say more about the situation of our army." Zhang Zhao said: "Liu Zhang also knows the situation of our army, so he can blackmail our army. He wants both beautiful women and a good reputation. We agree that he will help
We contain Cao Cao. If we don't agree, he won't help us. Anyway, Cao Cao destroyed us and told Liu Zhang that it was just a little more troublesome during the unification period. But if you tear up this letter, Liu Zhang will be furious.
Send troops from Yizhou into Jiangdong and advance alongside Cao Cao. Jiangdong's defeat is imminent."
"This..." Lu Meng said angrily; "Can we just endure it like this?"
"The situation is stronger than the people. Give me a reason not to be patient." Zhang Zhao said: "Be patient, Jiangdong still has hope of rising; if you can't bear it, Jiangdong's defeat is imminent. We can't even consume Cao Cao. If Liu Zhang comes again, we can only wash our necks."
, wait for the other party to come and chop.”
"This..." Lu Meng said unconvinced: "Liu Jiyu is fighting with the Qiang and Rongdi, how can he have the energy to take care of us?"
"If so, how can he have the energy to deal with Cao Cao?" Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Compared to Cao Cao, we in Jiangdong are much weaker."
"I..." Lu Meng sat down frustrated. He really had nothing to say. After all, it was an indisputable fact that Jiangdong was weak, otherwise there would be no need for reinforcements.
"Zijing, what do you think?" Sun Quan understood that regardless of Lu Meng's troubles, as long as he agreed, Lu Meng would not have the slightest objection. The ones who really needed to be persuaded were Sun Ce's cronies. For example, Lu Su, Jiang
Qin, and Zhou Tai, who was wrapped in white cloth.
"This is my lord's family matter, how can I, a foreign minister, be allowed to talk too much?" Lu Su was not stupid either. Since Sun Ce had let Sun Quan make the decision, he would naturally not talk too much. However, Sun Quan would not let him go.
"Zijing, as the saying goes: the emperor has no family affairs. Although this is the Sun family's married daughter, it is also related to Jiangdong's interests and face. Please give me some advice." Sun Quan stared at Lu Su with his blue eyes. He wanted to force Lu Su
Su expressed his position. If Lu Su also agrees to give Sun Shangxiang to Liu Zhang, he can say when he sees Sun Ce in the future: "Brother, that is not just my opinion, your subordinate Chong Mou also agrees."
"This..." Lu Su hesitated for a while, shook his head and said: "This matter is important, but it is not something I can make a sudden decision. Please forgive me, my lord."
"Really?" Although he knew that Lu Su would be hard to convince, Sun Quan was still a little disappointed. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "I don't blame Zijing, this matter is indeed very troublesome. If it weren't for many
If it takes one day, our army will lose its vitality for one more day. I will not ignore my little sister's opinion. After all, my little sister's happiness is very important."
"What my lord said is true." Everyone immediately bowed and saluted, praising Sun Quan for his wisdom. Only Han Dang could see Sun Quan's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh. Although Han Dang understood that only people like Sun Quan could lead Jiangdong.
In his opinion, since Liu Zhang didn't know what he wanted, Jiangdong should pretend to be stupid. As long as Liu Zhang sends troops to help Jiangdong defeat Cao Cao, the rest can be discussed later.
"Sigh... the situation is stronger than the people..." Sun Quan sighed and said: "Anyway, you don't know whether you should marry Liu Zhang. Why don't you send someone back to Moling to ask the little sister what she wants. If the little sister agrees, it is naturally the best.
.If the little sister doesn’t agree, then give up.”
"May I ask, my lord, who should I send back to Jiangdong?" Zhang Zhao's question made everyone lower their heads in fright. Who doesn't know how powerful Jiangdong's Xiao Ji is? It's purely self-interest to help her persuade her husband's family, or to marry the enemy far away.
begging for hardship
"Zijing, Ziming, it's up to you two to go there." Sun Quan glanced at Lu Su and sneered in his heart: "Since you don't eat the toast and you have to drink the fine wine, I will find a way to drag you into the water."
"This..." Lu Su and Lu Meng looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "I will obey my lord's order..."
