It is easy to pacify internal ministers, but difficult to pacify outsiders.
Seeing that Guan Yu has returned to Jingzhou, although the soldiers are tired and can only stare at Lukou, at least Jingzhou is safe.
As for the 30,000 prisoners of Cao's army and the 10,000 prisoners of Soochow, I believe that with Guan Yu's decades of experience in governing Jingzhou, it will be easy to handle, and Feng Zhou will not bother to take over.
But when he was about to return to Sichuan, an unexpected person came.
"What, Mrs. Sun is here?"
At the public office, Feng Zhou was stunned for a while.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "Yes, the prince defeated the Wu army a few days ago and captured more than ten thousand prisoners. Sun Quan's son was frightened, so he sent Zhuge Jin to negotiate, willing to exchange the three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang in exchange for the return of more than ten thousand prisoners.
Wu, in addition, in order to show his sincerity, he sent his sister here, saying that when he married his sister, he would follow her husband, and Mrs. Sun should not stay in her natal family for a long time."
"Hahaha... Sun Quan's behavior is really unethical!" Feng Zhou sneered.
"How do you think the prince should deal with it?" Guan Yu asked with a smile.
"Second uncle, just call me Adou." Feng Zhou said: "Second uncle is in charge of Jingzhou. Of course, you will handle this matter. I will inform Jinguan City again and let my father and the officials discuss and decide. Adou is just here.
My father ordered me to assist my second uncle. Now that the war is over, it’s time for me to return to Jinguan City.”
After he said this, he immediately regretted it.
Because although Guan Yu was in charge of Jingzhou, when it came to negotiations with Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin and Sun Shangxiang had to go to Jinguan City to negotiate.
After all, diplomacy depends on the Lord.
But Feng Zhou is now shouting to return to Jinguan City, which means he is leaving with Zhuge Jin and Mrs. Sun.
This is very embarrassing.
Although Zhuge Jin is the elder brother of military advisor Zhuge Liang, everyone's business dealings and quarrels are nothing.
But this Mrs. Sun is in trouble.
Although her marriage to Liu Bei has actually broken down, are they still married in name?
In other words, Mrs. Sun is nominally Guan Yu's sister-in-law, Feng Zhou's mother, and the mistress of the Jingzhou Group.
Although Guan Yu and Feng Zhou could completely ignore her, they had to treat her respectfully according to etiquette.
After Mrs. Sun got married, she treated Liu Chan as her own son. Feng Zhou recalled Liu Chan's memories and felt that this man was very dependent on Mrs. Sun, so Feng Zhou had to respect Mrs. Sun.
But then again, when Mrs. Sun was in Jingzhou, she was not liked by her subjects.
Because Mrs. Sun was quick-witted and strong, like her brothers from the same clan, she was surrounded by more than a hundred maids, all of whom were guarding her with swords. Even Liu Bei felt guilty every time he entered the inner room.
Fear of fear.
When Liu Bei lived in Gong'an County, Jingzhou City, he was in extreme hardship and embarrassment. He was afraid of Cao Cao's power in the north and Sun Quan's threat in the east. Mrs. Sun beside him was like an enemy country in his boudoir, and was regarded as Liu Bei's scourge.
Moreover, Mrs. Sun was unruly and domineering because she was Sun Quan's sister. Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers she brought from Wu State did not abide by the law. Because Zhao Yun was solemn, Liu Bei ordered him to manage internal affairs. Later, Liu Bei built a mausoleum in the west of Gong'an City in Jingzhou City.
A city, called "Xiling City" or "Mrs. Sun's City", allowed Mrs. Sun to live with her maids and guards.
When it comes to being a mistress, Mrs. Sun is a typical person who lives in the Han camp and her heart is in Wu. It's strange that she can be respected by everyone.
As Liu Bei's sworn brother and the number two figure in the Shujing Group, Guan Yu was naturally even more disgusted with Mrs. Sun.
But this Mrs. Sun is not an ordinary person. She is quick-witted and strong. Since Sun Quan sent her here, he naturally wanted to gain more benefits and pay less during the negotiation.
Therefore, Guan Yu was very reluctant to receive Mrs. Sun, so he wanted to push the matter to Feng Zhou and let him handle it. After the reception, they set off directly to Jinguan City to pull them down and prevent them from wandering around Jingzhou.
But Feng Zhou was naturally unwilling to receive him. After all, he was not Liu Chan's soul and had no feelings for this so-called "stepmother".
So Guan Yu and Feng Zhou pushed back and forth, and finally reached a consensus to receive the negotiators from Soochow together.
The two looked at each other, and three words sounded in their hearts at the same time:
"Old(little) fox!"
When Zhuge Jin and Mrs. Sun arrived at Jiangling by boat, Guan Yu and Feng Zhou greeted them at the dock as soon as they got off the boat.
Of course, Zhuge Jin doesn't have that much respect, and everyone mainly welcomes the nominal mistress.
"Yun Chang, sir, Jin is here." Zhuge Jin was kind and honest, and stepped forward to say hello.
Guan Yu and Feng Zhou slightly raised their hands together: "Mr. Zhuge."
Both of them looked very indifferent, especially Guan Yu, who was not at all like the attitude he used to receive old friends in the past.
"This score is really big. Let's see how you treat it when the princess gets off the boat." Zhuge Jin snorted coldly in his heart without showing any emotion on his face.
"Yunchang, Adou." A sassy voice sounded. Sun Shangxiang strode down the springboard and said in a loud voice.
Guan Yu and Feng Zhou slightly raised their hands together: "Greetings, Madam."
The attitude is the same as before.
"Why is Yun Chang so indifferent?" Sun Shangxiang said, slightly angry.
"With what you did, it would be strange if I gave you a good look!" Guan Yu thought in his heart, but still said indifferently: "My brother, the King of Hanzhong, has appointed the Wu family in Shuzhong as his princess, and his wife is now the concubine. Yu is the concubine of the lord's concubine.
How can we treat each other with courtesy and be indifferent?"
"you……"
Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly and turned to look at Feng Zhou: "Adou, why are you so cold when you see your mother?"
"My mother left without saying goodbye, my father was very sad, and Adou has become a different person since Uncle Yun cut off the river to rescue him." Feng Zhou told Sun Shangxiang the truth seriously.
Sun Shangxiang was startled, and couldn't help laughing. The laughter was cold and sad: "Okay! That's great! What a Liu Xuande! You are dozens of years older than me, and I don't dislike you; you have been away in the military for many years and have not returned home. I
I don’t blame you; when I returned to Jingzhou for you, I showed up and scolded Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to keep you safe. You were away from home, so I took care of your young son and guarded the city. But when I returned to Soochow, you didn’t send anyone to welcome me back.
If you let Adou humiliate me like this, how can I rest and have the dignity to stand in this world!"
The crowd on the pier suddenly became quiet.
Guan Yu, Zhuge Jin, and everyone else were startled. They couldn't help but look at Sun Shangxiang, wondering what she was crazy about.
Feng Zhou smiled slightly and said: "Mother, after you returned to Soochow, if you really wanted to come back, why would Sun Cheqi not allow you? If you didn't want to come back, even if your father sent someone to welcome you back, how could you bring him back?
?”
It is difficult for an upright official to settle household matters or matters between husband and wife. If you call them out at the dock, who will listen?
Did Liu Bei and everyone else not respect you enough when you were in Jingzhou?
Liu Bei failed to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities as a husband, but you also chose to leave and never return?
Seeing that Feng Zhou's tone was indifferent, he refused to take hard and soft words, and he was even more calm than his brother Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang knew that this "bitter flesh trick" had not succeeded, but he didn't care, snorted coldly, and strode forward.
Facing the looks of everyone in Jingzhou and Soochow, Feng Zhou didn't care and was about to leave.
At this moment, a strange feeling came to his mind, and he couldn't help but look towards the bow of the ship.
At the same time, Guan Yu beside him also said "Hey" and looked towards the bow of the ship.
But saw nothing.
The two looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Obviously, the two of them have similar feelings.
murderous look!
This is an extremely light feeling.
A military general who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has experienced life and death can always clearly hear the sound of the bowstring vibrating when arrows are fired at him on the noisy battlefield, and he can therefore make evasive movements.
Guan Yu and Feng Zhou are both such people.
But at this time, their thinking was different.
"The rats from Jiangdong actually sent military generals to serve as guards. Is it possible that in the place controlled by the King of Hanzhong, someone would plot against Zhuge Ziyu and Mrs. Sun? It's really unfounded worries." Guan Yu was disdainful.
"This murderous aura definitely did not come from the battlefield. Instead, it was caused by swordsmen who broke into houses and killed people to steal goods." After all, Feng Zhou had a lot more experience in the world than Guan Yu, so he could accurately perceive this feeling.
"I want to see what methods Soochow will use?" He sneered in his heart.
