Sending troops is not just as simple as sending troops, but also requires food, transportation, and other complicated preparations that consume huge amounts of money.
In fact, war is about money.
Xu Jiajun did have money, but he didn't have so much money that he was burning through it.
Mrs. Gan took a deep breath and gave up.
"Chief, please send me an escort team. I want to see Miss Sun in person. I think we might start from Miss Sun's side."
"What Sun Quan is worried about is that the two armies are not related, and he is afraid that we will turn our backs and refuse to admit our guilt."
"But I think the most stable relationship in the world is not a relationship between husband and wife, but an alliance of interests."
"Sun Quan chose my husband because of his status in the Xu family's army, but his achievements are insignificant compared to you, the leader, General Wang, Major General, Second Lady, and Mr. Xu."
"Men can marry each other, but can't we women marry Jinlan?"
"Sun Quanfei is uncooperative through marriage, so what if we replace him with someone who believes in the contract?"
"I think Miss Sun is a good candidate, but I have to wait until I see her in person to confirm."
"If I fail, it won't be too late for us to send troops again."
"Even if I fail, we have succeeded in delaying the time. I don't understand military matters, but as long as Cao Jun doesn't wait for news from Soochow, he will assume that the other party has rejected it, right?"
Xu Yue and Xu Dalang looked at each other. The brother and sister felt that Mrs. Gan's words suddenly opened up a new path that they had never imagined.
That makes sense. Why do they have to cooperate with Sun Quan?
Isn't there anyone else in the Sun family who can talk about things?
Xu Yue stood up and came to Mrs. Gan, patting her shoulder hard, almost making Mrs. Gan stagger.
"Madam, you are a very wise person!"
Mrs. Gan blushed shyly, "This is just a woman's foolish opinion, and the leader is ridiculous."
"No, no, no, you are a woman! I will select an elite army for you and let them escort you to Wu County as quickly as possible. If you need anything, just contact Xu Mei at that time."
"By the way, there is a deputy envoy named Zhuge Liang next to Xu Mei. If you are unsure about anything, you can ask for his advice."
As he said this, seeing Mrs. Gan suddenly become nervous, Xu Yue cheered her up.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you successfully delay the time, the task will be completed!"
Only then did Mrs. Gan feel that the pressure on her shoulders had subsided, and she nodded in assurance:
"Don't worry, leader! I promise to complete the mission!"
Xu Yue nodded and immediately asked her brother Xu Dalang to prepare the escort team.
He also asked Sun Ashan to send news to Xu Mei, asking them to coax Sun Quan into custody first, and discuss the marriage in person.
...
"Interview?"
Over at Soochow, Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard what Xu Mei said.
"So, your leader has agreed to the marriage?"
Xu Mei did not directly say yes, but only said: "We will elaborate on these details when the new envoy arrives."
Sun Quan immediately frowned vigilantly, "Although Ambassador Cao encountered an accident, the Cao family has sent a new envoy over. According to Ambassador Xu, how should we respond?"
"The Cao family still has 50,000 troops guarding the Qingzhou Pier. Once there is a change, they can immediately enter the water and go south to attack Yangzhou. Now you and I are about to get married, and my family's affairs are your family's affairs. Ambassador Xu feels that this is difficult
How should we solve this problem so that our Soochow soldiers will not die innocently?"
Xu Mei thought to herself: You guys in Soochow are doing so much shit!
With a polite smile on his face, he turned to look at the handsome young man beside him: "Zhuge, what do you think?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and smiled lightly, "In my humble opinion, if you want to fight, we will fight. Just in time, our two armies will attack from the north and the south and capture the Cao family in one fell swoop!"
"Oh, sir, you have such a loud tone!" Zhou Yu said sarcastically: "Sir, I will fight whenever I ask, but who will bear the military expenses, food and grass, and the life of my Soochow man?"
What you say is better than what you sing. It's not your family's soldiers who die emotionally, and it's not your family's money that's spent!
Zhuge Liang was not annoyed and retorted without changing his face: "Jiangnan is rich, so this little money should not be taken seriously, right?"
Zhou Yu choked immediately.
If you don't take it seriously, you have to send troops.
If you say you don't have that much money, you will lose face.
No matter how he answers, there will always be a big pit waiting for him.
Zhou Yu was so angry that his nostrils trembled, and he thought to himself, Zhuge Liang was born to defeat him, right?
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't answer, Sun Quanquan couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly changed the topic.
Ask Xu Mei how to arrange the new envoy Cao.
Xu Mei gave him four words: "Come again and kill again."
Sun Quan and others immediately glared at Xu Mei excitedly, saying that you were the one who killed the previous person, and you still don't admit it!
Now the fox tail is exposed directly!
I really want to kill you now! Sun Quan thought bitterly in his heart.
Xu Mei felt the murderous intent surging in the hall, smiled calmly, and brought the box she carried with her to her face.
Everyone was attracted by her actions and looked over one after another.
I have seen Xu Mei holding this box for a long time, but I have not seen her open it for so many days.
The more she hid it, the more curious everyone became.
So, under the curious gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Xu Mei calmly opened the lid of the box and took out two square boxes covered in pitch black.
Seeing this square box, everyone in Soochow had no reaction. Zhuge Liang took a breath of cold air first.
Because he knew that this was the artifact Xu Mei used to keep in touch with Xu Yue!
Sun Quan and others also noticed Zhuge Liang's reaction and became even more curious.
Lu Xun first asked: "What is this?"
"A magical weapon that can transmit sounds from thousands of miles away." Xu Mei answered so readily that everyone present did not react at the first moment to seeing the legendary magical weapon so easily.
Xu Mei closed the box and signaled Zhuge Liang to take a good look. She personally took a box of batteries and two walkie-talkies to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan subconsciously leaned forward and asked, "Mr. Xu, what does this mean?"
"Xu Jiajun's sincerity." Xu Mei smiled and put the object in her hand in front of Sun Quan. The two close guards beside him nervously placed their hands on the handle of the knife.
Once an abnormality is discovered, Xu Mei will be killed immediately.
Seeing that Sun Quan wanted to touch him, Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted: "Lord, be careful!"
Sun Quan was so frightened that he retracted his hand and sat on his seat again, pretending not to care and glaring at Xu Mei coldly.
Xu Mei shrugged funnyly, "Don't be nervous, everyone, these are just two walkie-talkies, they won't bite anyone."
"These two walkie-talkies can transmit sounds thousands of miles away. Does anyone want to give them a try?"
Without waiting for others to hesitate, Lu Xun was the first to stand up and said, "I am willing to give it a try for my lord!"
Sun Quan nodded appreciatively.
Xu Mei asked Lu Xun to come closer, whispered in his ear how to use it, and then handed him one of the walkie-talkies.
