When Mrs. Gan arrived in Wu County, the group of Confucian scholars under Sun Quan, who was so outrageous that they looked down upon them, Miss Sun, came out to talk about her opinions and views on the marriage.
Seeing the hall full of men standing in front of him, Sun Shangxiang was completely confused.
But at the same time, the soaring adrenaline told her that she loved the feeling of having a voice!
And all this was brought by the two Xu family envoys sitting in the guest seats in the main hall.
A guard ran in quickly and reported:
"Lord, the envoy from the Xu family army has arrived!"
After hearing this, everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked outside the hall.
Sun Shangxiang stood beside the main seat and looked over curiously.
Xu Mei and Zhuge Liang stood up and went out to greet them.
It is now mid-September.
The new envoy traveled from north to south, taking a detour for a month, and finally arrived at Wu County.
At this time, the battle in the north had become intense, and Cao and Xu were in a stalemate in Shanyang County, Yanzhou.
Cao's army was unable to defend the city, and the Xu family's troops were divided into three groups, encircling them from Sili, Bingzhou, and Jizhou.
Although they had gunpowder as a powerful siege weapon, Xu's army had no use for it and only besieged Cao's army in Shanyang County.
The reason is also very simple. There are too few powder barrels and they cannot be used until critical moments.
Furthermore, it is the harvest season, and hundreds of thousands of people need to eat, so we can only suspend the war and seize the autumn harvest.
Spring plowing and autumn harvest are both very important, and often no one sends troops to fight during these two points of time.
The situation in the north is now a stalemate. Xu Jiajun is in no hurry to attack. Cao Jun, who was driven crazy, can finally take a breather.
Cao De was still waiting for reinforcements from various places, hoping to drive the Xu family army back to their hometown in one fell swoop.
But, I'm afraid he can't wait any longer.
Zhao Biao's reinforcements in Jingzhou were blocked by Zhao Yun's army and could not leave Jingzhou at all.
Yangzhou's side was also hindered by Xu Mei and Zhuge Liang, and now they have almost given up aiding Cao's army.
Now that a new envoy has arrived, what happens next with the Xu-Sun Alliance will directly cause a major change in the situation in the Central Plains.
Mrs. Gan walked into the gate of Sun Mansion under the leadership of her attendants. As soon as she entered, she met Xu Mei and Zhuge Liang who were already waiting here.
Xu Mei was the doctor who helped her deliver Adou. After seven years of absence, Mrs. Gan still recognized the doctor who introduced her to the profession at a glance.
"Doctor Xu!" Mrs. Gan walked forward excitedly and shook hands with Xu Mei tightly.
Xu Mei almost didn't recognize the neat woman in front of her. She was stunned for a while, and then she took Mrs. Gan's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Mei also said with a smile.
Mrs. Gan shook her head, aware of the unfamiliarity between the two, and lamented the ruthless passage of time. In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed.
"Dr. Xu, you are black and you are cumming." Mrs. Gan sighed softly.
Xu Mei nodded with the soldiers who escorted Mrs. Gan, and the two parties briefly greeted each other.
Then he led the excited Mrs. Gan to the main hall.
As he walked, he introduced the young man next to her, "This is Zhuge Liang."
"The leader told me that if I have any problems that I can't solve, I should come to him to discuss it." Mrs. Gan smiled and stretched out her hand to the tall young handsome man next to her.
Zhuge Liang suppressed his excitement at being mentioned by the leader and shook hands with Mrs. Gan briefly, "Gan Dao is friendly."
As soon as he said the words "good-natured and friendly", Mrs. Gan's liking for this handsome young man instantly grew.
"Hello." Mrs. Gan responded to Zhuge Liang with a smile.
"By the way, please tell me about the situation here first. I'll be able to deal with it later." Mrs. Gan asked Xu Mei in a low voice.
Xu Mei briefly talked about the extreme tension between herself and Sun during this period.
I specifically mentioned Miss Sun Shangxiang of the Sun family.
As expected, Mrs. Gan stopped and looked over sensitively. There was actually a hint of nervousness in her seemingly calm eyes.
The probability of marriage is still very high. The only thing Mrs. Gan is somewhat sure about is that the marriage partner is not Zhao Bei.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang, the marriage partner, can easily tug at her heartstrings.
Xu Mei also didn't expect that Xu Yue would send Mrs. Gan here this time. If it weren't for her absolute trust in the leader, she couldn't help but suspect that Mrs. Gan wanted to come here to disrupt the situation.
Xu Mei patted the shoulder of Mrs. Gan, who was smaller than herself, and told Mrs. Gan the results of her observations about Sun Shangxiang during this period.
This young lady lost her father when she was young, and she was basically brought up by Sun Quan. The brother and sister have a good relationship.
In this generation of the Sun family, there are only two brothers and one sister, not to mention the remaining concubines.
Although under the protection of her elder brother, due to the sudden changes in her family when she was young, Sun Shangxiang has a stronger personality and is not a weak woman.
She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a women's army of her own.
It can be seen that this young lady has a certain sense of independence.
Of course, this army of women is not that army of women. This army of women refers to Sun Shangxiang’s maids.
There were about twenty of these maids, and they followed their masters in wielding swords and guns, and they were quite impressive.
It's a pity that Sun Shangxiang is only a woman.
Without Xu Mei and Zhuge Liang's push now, she wouldn't even be qualified to step into this hall.
In the general areas of the Central Plains, as long as they have not been civilized by the Xu Jiajun, except for the ethnic minorities in the southwest, the status of Qing women is really pitiful.
Even a young and famous woman like Sun Shangxiang could only sit in the boudoir in a patriarchal environment.
As for her dancing with swords and guns, in Sun Quan's opinion, it was just a boring pastime.
So much so that when he thought of marriage, Sun Quan was able to betroth his girl to an old man over forty without hesitation.
Although calling him an old man at forty is a bit exaggerated, in the current environment, at Zhao Bei's age, being the father of fourteen-year-old Sun Shangxiang is enough.
"In short, there is some love between brother and sister, but not much."
Before entering the main hall, Xu Mei concluded like this.
Mrs. Gan nodded, indicating that she understood.
"The messenger has arrived—!"
The waiter at the door stretched his voice and sang the newspaper loudly.
Xu Mei and Zhuge Liang led Mrs. Gan and others into the palace. Sun Quan and others saw a female messenger again, and they were not as surprised as the first time.
However, there was still a small discussion in the hall.
Come to think of it, in their view, it was very unreasonable for the Xu family army to send women as envoys twice.
All in all, after the two parties exchanged simple greetings, Sun Quan couldn't help but be curious and asked tentatively:
"Could it be that the men in the Xu family's army all stay at home to look after their wives and educate their daughters, as rumor has it?"
As soon as these words came out, all the men in the palace became concerned.
If Mrs. Gan said that was the case, then they would have to reconsider the Sun-Xu alliance.
They don't want to have a wife and raise a daughter at home and be laughed at by celebrities all over the world!
Sun Shangxiang, who was standing next to his brother, opened his eyes wide in surprise. Curiosity and yearning were clearly written in his big dark eyes.
Mrs. Gan did not miss the yearning in the young girl's eyes, and she already had some calculations in her heart.
This girl is very ambitious!
Such people can run very far on their own with just a push from them.
