Due to the urgent time, it would be too late to wait until the marriage between Sun Quan and Miss Xie was really decided. So Qiao Xuan immediately started to act and used his intelligence network to penetrate the upper class of Jiangdong step by step, and finally successfully contacted Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao had a very good say in Jiangdong at present, and could meet Mrs. Wu. The marriage of her children was decided by Mrs. Wu, and Zhang Zhao could judge the political benefits in it. So as long as Zhang Zhao came forward, this matter would definitely be done. After doing everything, Qiao Xuan was satisfied and waited for his good news.

It was true that this was true, but Qiao Xuan did not expect that Xiao Qiao had secretly tampered with the most critical part of the letters he sent to Wujun. The word "Quan" was changed to "Ce", and the difference was a completely different result. However, Xiao Qiao's change was very reasonable and would not make people feel suspicious. In comparison, Qiao Xuan's letter, which originally asked the younger Sun Quan to marry Da Qiao and the older Zhou Yu to marry Xiao Qiao, would make people who are not aware of it stunned. They needed to sort out the information before they could understand it.

After a long time, Qiao Xuan naturally paid attention to the movements of Wujun, but when he realized something was wrong, nothing could be saved. Due to the limitations of the times' communication, Qiao Xuan could not call Wujun in just one phone call and instantly influence the situation. What's more, at the beginning, Qiao Xuan used reserved means and did not contact Zhang Zhao directly, but used all kinds of means to reveal his intentions. Qiao Xuan hoped that Jiangdong would take the initiative to contact him, so that he could get the greatest benefits for the Qiao family.

As a result, all Qiao Xuan's designs were ruined by his biological daughter who had been doting and indulging.

In the end, I can only taste the bitter fruits I planted by myself. It is precisely because Qiao Xuan has always spoiled Xiao Qiao that Xiao Qiao will rebelliously fight him today. If Qiao Xuan trained Xiao Qiao to the same as Da Qiao, how could this day happen?

Qiao Xuan was also a ruthless person. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he made a decisive decision. He did not give up the slightest desire to be lucky, but directly gave up the right to bargain with others and immediately sent someone to contact Sun Ce. It was not that Qiao Xuan thought that between Sun Ce and Mrs. Wu, the Sun family would eventually choose Sun Ce as the main side. In fact, Qiao Xuan took advantage of his geographical advantages. Now Sun Ce stationed troops in the Penglize area, which is closer to Lujiang. Therefore, when Qiao Xuan's letter was delivered to Sun Ce, it was actually the same as the time Zhang Zhao proposed to Mrs. Wu in Wu County.

Similarly, if nothing unexpected happens, Sun Ce’s reply should arrive in Lujiang sooner. At that time, preconceived ideas, as long as Qiao Xuan has made a decision with Sun Ce in advance and made a marriage contract, then Mrs. Wu’s news will naturally not be able to change anything.

After finishing all this in a hurry, Qiao Xuan had time to deal with the culprit of this incident - Xiao Qiao!

"You'd better give me a little peace lately. Don't think I can't do anything to you. If you really messed up this matter, be careful that I'll let you marry Sun Quan!" Qiao Xuan warned Xiao Qiao coldly.

Qiao Xuan is not saying this. Zhou Yu is not a good thing, but if the Qiao sisters can marry the Sun brothers at the same time, the Qiao family will get the greatest benefits, and there will be no worries about betting on the wrong bet. However, Qiao Xuan also felt that with his position as Qiao family, it is impossible for two daughters to marry Sun Ce and Sun Quan at the same time. No matter how big or small, Qiao is, the country is the same. Therefore, Qiao Xuan always lets Xiao Qiao and asks her to pursue Zhou Yu.

But if Qiao Xuan is really forced to force him, then he will do his best, regardless of his identity, and make some "excessive" requests!

"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are brothers, so it is impossible for him to agree to let me marry Sun Quan!" Xiao Qiao was shocked by Qiao Xuan's words and said hurriedly.

"You have to be clear that no matter how rumors are outside, you have always been the one who has been actively posting Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu has never really expressed anything. Moreover, once the engagement is settled, even if Sun Ce can violate his own engagement, he will never cancel his brother's engagement. Sun Ce is such a person. With your understanding of Zhou Yu, do you think Zhou Yu will make Sun Ce embarrassed? Or are you free and easy and take the initiative to become a beauty?" Qiao Xuan sneered.

"You?! You can't do this!" Xiao Qiao exclaimed.

"Hmph, it depends on yourself!" Qiao Xuan snorted coldly, turned around and left, and when he walked to Da Qiao, he said to Da Qiao, "Please keep your sister tighter. You are about to get married, and it's time to calm down."

"I will persuade her." Da Qiao replied in a low voice.

Qiao Xuan's expression was slightly slower, nodded with satisfaction, sighed,

"You are the best Da Qiao. You are all the flesh in my heart. I chose it for you, so of course the best husband. Xiao Qiao doesn't understand it now, and will always understand it in the future. I still dote on her too much."

While shaking his head, Qiao Xuan left.

······

at the same time,

On the other hand, as one of the protagonists of this incident, Sun Quan was in Guangling and had no idea what happened in Wujun or Lujiang. After Chen Deng was captured, there was no resistance in the entire Guangling County. With the reputation of the Sun family, Sun Quan easily controlled Guangling with the Jiangdong army he brought.

After occupying Guangling, the first thing Sun Quan did was to rectify the Guangling officialdom. Guangling's land changed hands several times, and the officialdom was in chaos. Many officials had the mentality of leaving at any time. They did not manage it well at all, squeezing the people's wealth and spoiling the people, causing the people to live in poverty. This time, Sun Quan suppressed with absolute military power. The small officials and officials of Guangling could not make any big fuss. More than half of the officials were dealt with by Sun Quan, and the rest were already scared by Sun Quan's cruelty. They could only work diligently, go out early and come back late, and deal with the backlog of political affairs, and did not dare to slack or dissolutely.

It can be said that the ruthlessness of Sun Quan's rectification of Guangling's officialdom this time was far beyond Chen Deng in history. Many departments in Guangling County were stagnant because of this. But Sun Quan was not worried at all, because all this was temporary. As the Minister of Selection, Jiangdong would soon promote a group of officials to take over the political situation in Guangling. The so-called destruction and then establishment, compared with those officials who did not do anything, the temporary stagnation of many departments would not have much impact.

After slashing the mess with a quick knife and rectifying the Guangling officialdom with a very strong attitude, Sun Quan directly began to build military defense facilities. On the one hand, in the area north of Guangling, the defense was strengthened to prevent Lu Bu's sudden attack; on the other hand, Sun Quan sent people to demolish the defense facilities south of Guangling and close to the Yangtze River. In this way, once Guangling is really captured in the future, Guangling, which fell into the hands of the enemy, will not be able to defend against the attack from Jiangdong for a while. The Jiangdong army with good strength will easily be able to snatch Guangling back.

In politics and military aspects, Sun Quan, who showed his strengths and struggled in private, secretly tampered with Chen Deng, whom he captured. (To be continued)
