Chapter 1011 The sedan chair, the outcome is undecided
Chapter 1011: The sedan chair rises, the winner is not decided
Zhao Zilong?
Zhao Yun?
This name seems to have disappeared from this world for so long that Sun Quan even forgot that there was such a person in Liu Bei's formation——
He really subconsciously thought that this Zhao Zilong was already dead.
Because if Zhao Zilong dies, then the compensation they have made so far will still be somewhat repaid.
Yes... let alone Jiangdong, even Cao Cao in the north knew that if any of Liu Bei's three fierce generals - Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were to be removed, it would be a heavy blow to the military strength of Liu Bei's camp.
The reason why Sun Quan was willing to use marriage as a basis to compensate for a large amount of land and resources, including Jiangxia, after he and Zhou Yu combined, is because in the final analysis, their Soochow game was called "unparalleled bad chess".
Under a surprise attack, one of Liu Beifang's warriors was killed by mistake.
You may make a profit with blood, but...I will definitely not lose.
With this kind of mentality, a series of things happened, including Jiang Qin's request for peace with Zhao Fan's head, and so on.
Although Sun Quan later issued a peace request, he also said that he would use all his resources to search for the injured and missing Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, but - he also sent out a search and rescue team.
The goals of Soochow and Liu Bei are completely opposite.
Of course Liu Bei was desperately trying to find Zhao Yun. No matter what... Zhao Yun was his beloved general.
But on Sun Quan's side - even without Zhou Yu's prompting, Sun Quan understood that if they found Zhao Yun, the best way to deal with it was to kill him quietly -
Afterwards, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu would probably express the news that they had found Zhao Yun's body in a rather sad tone with sadness. Even if Liu Bei did not accept this result, he still had to accept it.
Because on the one hand, Sun Quan was sincerely suing for peace, and on the other hand, they were doing their best to search and rescue. "The teacher is worthy of his reputation" - this principle that Cao Cao valued most, when put here, it became the shackles and shackles of Liu Bei.
The reason is that even if they know that it was the Soochow people who killed Zhao Yun, they have no reason to condemn the other party, just because the other party tried their best.
This complete conspiracy can be regarded as the first time in the confrontation between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu that Zhou Yu gained the upper hand.
Of course, Zhuge Liang was not a vegetarian. He soon discovered Zhou Yu's conspiracy. In order to protect "Schrödinger's Zhao Yun", without knowing whether Zhao Yun was alive or dead, he urged Liu Bei to set sail as quickly as possible.
Because no matter what, as long as Liu Bei stands on the land of Jiangdong, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will not be able to carry out a search and rescue operation with great fanfare, which is actually an act of assassination.
In short, this thousand-layer game between the two sides has been going on for several months.
What ordinary people can see is that Sun Quan lost the battle and was forced to sue for peace, but they don't know that even in the midst of suing for peace, the two princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were still throwing knives at each other.
——
Then, everything was reversed.
The originally deadlocked situation changed because of Zhao Yun's sudden appearance today.
When Sun Quan saw Zhao Yun appear at the stairs, he suddenly realized... Liu Bei didn't show much surprise... The reason could only be that the other party had found Zhao Zilong a long time ago, and it was only today that the other party allowed Zhao Zilong to appear - because
The purpose is to let yourself know that you are completely defeated before everything ends...
From an angle that Liu Bei didn't know, Sun Quan had already gritted his teeth.
The Soochow officials present were not directly involved in the plan, so they had no idea why Sun Quan suddenly became so angry.
No one can understand Sun Quan's mood.
Except for Liu Bei, who was the winner, and Zhao Yun, who walked towards the field with a calm face.
Sun Quan doesn't care much about what Zhao Yun does - Zhao Yun is just a concept in the game between the two sides...
"Oh...you don't need to panic, the person standing next to me is my general, General Zhao Zilong."
"Zilong thought that it would be inconvenient for me to be alone here in Jiangdong, so I came all the way to Jianye. It's no big deal. You should eat and drink!"
Liu Bei said to the onlookers with a smile, looking proud of himself.
Hearing what Liu Bei said, there were many people around who had heard rumors about Zhao Yun's disappearance who looked surprised and were discussing quietly with their colleagues.
Of course... Liu Bei doesn't mind what these onlookers think.
"Eh? Just for a moment, why does my dear brother look so bad?"
"Well... look at my stupid head, I shouldn't call you brother-in-law anymore. When I get married later, Zhong Mou, you will be my uncle, and we will be a real family by then.
!”
As Liu Bei spoke, he walked up to Sun Quan who was stiff, patted him on the shoulder, and glanced at him with meaningful eyes——
Sun Quan is naturally smiling but not smiling...No matter what he says now, the people around him cannot understand his mood, so he can only pretend that nothing happened——
But I could clearly feel Liu Bei's taunting meaning - uncle? Isn't this obviously mocking him for not only not killing Zhao Yun, but also getting his sister involved?
People can fake smiles, but a person's true emotions often only exist in his eyes - in other words, although Sun Quan is smiling now, his eyes look like he wants to kill Liu Bei.
——
Zhao Yun's arrival was an accident.
But this accident really changed the interests of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's plan.
The situation turned and the profits and losses were reversed, making this already absurd marriage look even more dazzling.
But... time will never stop.
While Sun Quan was still angry at Liu Bei and others for hiding their despicable tricks, the bride of the Sun family slowly stepped into the sedan chair.
Lu Su, who was waiting outside the door, breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Lu Xun a look, indicating that he would leave it to him, and then he rode a fast horse to the restaurant——
After confirming that there was no threat from the Sun Mansion, he had to return to Sun Quan as soon as possible. Zhou Yu had not arrived yet - Lu Su had a vague premonition, but... with gaps on all sides, he could only choose to feel where Sun Quan was.
In case Sun Quan was set up and didn’t realize it——
"Get up the sedan!"
As Lu Xun shouted, the extremely gorgeously decorated large sedan chair was lifted into the air with the combined efforts of several people.
The gongs and drums were beating together, and the procession of sending off the bride set off at the same time. The onlookers seemed to be infected by the atmosphere. Everyone was laughing and making noise, creating a festive atmosphere.
Just...at the same time.
At the alley not far away, a woman who had just arrived in Jianye almost shed tears when she saw the sedan leaving the house.
It was the big hand behind her that pulled her back into the alley, so she didn't take advantage of the momentum and rush out to cause trouble.
"Brother Li! What are you doing! Sister Shangxiang has already boarded the sedan chair. If you don't stop her-"
"Miss Xiao Qiao, please be patient - please believe me, sir... Until the last moment, there is still no conclusion on who will win and who will lose."
Qiao Guolao on the side was silent, but after hearing Li Fu's answer, no matter how anxious Xiao Qiao was, she could no longer mess around.
Yes... In this situation, if she rushes out, not only will it not help the situation, but it will also cause a lot of trouble...
