Chapter 847 The joys and sorrows in the world are not the same
"This is an autographed letter from my lord... I will not disturb you for the specific purpose, but stay out of the way for the time being, leaving room for discussion."
Jiang Qin handed over the letter and left without disrespecting etiquette. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong tried to stop him, but the decision-makers at the moment: Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and Liu Bei, no longer had time to take care of Jiang Qin.
Of course, Jiang Qin would not take this opportunity to run away in despair. He believed that he had already established a victory. Thanks to the strategies of his lord Sun Quan and the two governors of Jiangdong, he was able to be so calm. After leaving, he
Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
——
"This...Kong Ming, filial piety...this, what is Sun Quan's intention?"
Liu Bei was a little panicked. Although he could pretend to be stupid and be forbearing, once someone threw a conspiracy in his face without any cover, his reaction would be the same as that of an ordinary person.
Zhuge Liang shook his head, and Fazheng also sighed.
"You can tell at a glance. There is no use in making random guesses here."
Then under the attention of everyone, Liu Bei took the letter from the table and slowly opened it - the silk book spread out still smelled of ink. It seemed that he had never paused since writing it, all the way to
Jiangling.
The next thing that came into view was the content of the letter.
Gradually...except for Liu Bei, the expressions of every general and counselor around him became extremely complicated.
Only Liu Bei slowly changed from a daze to a vague excitement. This change really met Zhou Yu's expectations.
"My lord... the Soochow people... want to do this marriage, I think... we should discuss it again - after all..."
"What exactly?"
Liu Bei suddenly became energetic, and Zhuge Liang really couldn't find an excuse for a while.
He didn't expect that the other party was really willing to shut up their mouths and reduce the losses in this battle in order to have a truce, and dared to use Sun Shangxiang, a descendant of the Sun family with "good roots and a bright future", as a bargaining chip for marriage.
mainly……
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei's excited look, and looked at Liu Bei's appearance that was obviously old, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him an old man. He really couldn't imagine how determined Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were.
, only then can such a young girl be sent to the side of an old man like his lord Liu Bei, who is approaching fifty years old.
Do you really have no shame?
At this time, Zhuge Liang realized that if their opponent was a crazy person who could ignore any moral and traditional constraints and only put interests in his heart and use this as the basis for decision-making, they would have no chance of winning from the beginning.
.
Sun Quan was famous for his filial piety. Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, whom he admired, were known as Zhou Lang in Soochow. He was a typical tall, rich and handsome man who treated others with humility and gentleness, not to mention Lu Su, a gentleman who was known as a kindhearted and generous man——
These three people finally came up with such a scheme?
"I think it's feasible! Since Marquis Wu is so sincere, we have no reason to refuse!"
"The marriage is beneficial to both parties, and Kong Ming... didn't you say that our current goal is still to seize Yichuan? With marriage as a basis, not only will we not have to worry about Soochow will take this opportunity to attack Jiangling, we can even take advantage of the situation to demand
The Soochow people helped us to influence the situation in Jingzhou... This is killing two birds with one stone! No! This is killing three birds with one stone! Why should we hesitate?"
Liu Bei was completely arrogant. Fa Zhenggang had been following Liu Bei for more than half a year, and he had never seen Liu Bei so upright and awe-inspiring - as if he was inspired by something. Liu Bei's impeccable words made Zhuge Liang
Speechless.
"That's all you're good at!?"
Zhuge Liang really wanted to scold Liu Bei like this.
Anyone can tell that Liu Bei is now blinded by the word sex. No wonder, for those who have not read this letter, there will certainly not be much trouble if they just hear about the marriage.
But the problem is...the most special thing about this seemingly simple letter now is the huge blank space at the bottom of the letter——
There, Zhou Yu or Sun Quan asked someone to draw a real portrait of his sister Sun Shangxiang——
Just by looking at those moving eyes and slightly parted red lips, not to mention how stunning this bust is as a whole, you know that the other party is trying to seduce Liu Bei through a beauty trick, but... Zhuge Liang has no way to stop it.
at this point.
Because Sun Shangxiang is indeed beautiful.
In the absence of any loss, how sage-hearted Liu Bei must be to listen to the dissuasion of his elders and refuse this beautiful woman who comes to his door?
so--
After struggling for a moment, Zhuge Liang sighed and everything today was settled.
——
When Jiang Qin walked into the tent again, the first thing he saw was of course not the old Liu Bei with a red face, bloodshot eyes, and hot air spraying from his nostrils.
It was Zhuge Liang who looked haggard and helpless, and Fazheng who looked quite frustrated.
that's enough.
Jiang Qin secretly encouraged himself. Seeing Zhuge Liang's performance, he knew that there was no chance that Zhuge Liang would refuse his marriage invitation.
"It seems that you have reached a conclusion? This matter of marriage -"
"Just do as Wu Hou said. My lord has already approved this matter. It would be better to say that it depends on how long it takes Wu Hou to complete this matter. If you want to ask the captain to follow my lord's wishes, please Wu Hou
Negotiate the marriage as soon as possible——"
When Zhuge Liang spoke, he basically gritted his teeth, but even if he was resentful in his heart, it was impossible for them not to accept the conspiracy of this beauty - Zhuge Liang, who forced a smile on his face, continued to propose:
"The letter says that Marquis Wu plans to invite my lord to go to Wu County to propose marriage. It happens that we also have this intention, so this matter..."
"That's very good! Very good! Uncle Liu is indeed a hero. I can't help but admire you for knowing that you are willing to put in such efforts for the good relationship between the Sun and Liu families and the Qin and Jin Dynasties, regardless of the past grudges."
"Please rest assured that this matter will be reported to the lord as soon as possible! Please wait for the good news——"
After saying that, Jiang Qin did not hide his smile, and used a completely different tone and action to bow his hands to Liu Bei and others.
And what about Liu Bei?
Liu Bei just smiled now. His eyes were staring ahead, but his thoughts had already drifted to Soochow. At this moment, his mind was filled with the portrait of Sun Shangxiang, thinking that he was still in the middle of his life.
How could he not be excited about being able to regain his second youth?
Zhuge Liang finally couldn't stand it anymore and quietly stepped on Liu Bei's toes.
Liu Bei recovered from the pain and hurriedly returned the favor to Jiang Qin.
"Hahaha, Captain Jiang is so ridiculous. If it weren't for this troubled world, why would you and I fight to the death? If we can rely on this in-law to resolve the grievances between the two parties, then I, Liu Bei, will naturally be obliged to do so!"
"Captain, please take care along the way!"
"Uncle Emperor, please take care of yourself!"
Amid laughter, this farcical diplomatic incident ended with the two sides reaching a perfect consensus.
In the end, both Liu Bei and Sun Quan were happy.
Only Zhuge Liang and Fazheng vented their dissatisfaction and resentment in their tents that night.
The joys and sorrows of the world are not the same. They only feel that everyone is noisy.
