Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Shao with a surprised look on his face.
She arrived in Fuchun in the evening. After arriving at her ancestral home, Mrs. Da Qiao made insinuations to test Sun Shao's thoughts. Sun Shao wanted to leave Jiangdong and find another way out and start a career. The mood was understandable, but it was very difficult. Mrs. Da Qiao
It is very clear that it is very difficult to leave Jiangdong, even to leave this ancestral home... Sun Quan is now in a stable position, and almost all the people in this ancestral home are his eyes and ears. If it were not for the important land of the harem and Wu Guotai's persistence,
Sun Quan couldn't place his own ears and eyes, and he might not even be able to talk or sleep safely.
There are only a dozen slaves in such a large back house.
Moreover, most of these slaves were people who married into the Sun family with Mrs. Da Qiao, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.
However, if you want to get out of this door, you must have external help. So Mrs. Da Qiao tried to test the words with Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang, let go of Double Ten.
According to the custom of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you don't marry at the age of sixteen, you will be considered an older girl.
But this Sun Shangxiang was very favored by the old lady Wu Guotai. He was also good at dancing with guns and knives, and had a very strong temperament, so no one dared to marry him.
Of course, it was Sun Shangxiang who didn't want to get married.
So until now, my sister-in-law is still alone, and usually brings a group of maids and servants, all in accordance with the rules of the military camp. In Wu County, almost everyone knows the name of Sun Shangxiang, and the maids and maids of his family are so arrogant that even the people of Wuhou Mansion
, and had to retreat.
Arrogant!
This is what many people say about Sun Shangxiang.
However, some people think that Sun Shangxiang has a manly demeanor and a manly spirit, which is quite similar to that of Sun Bofu...
Sun Shangxiang did not live in Fuchun, but had another mansion in Wu County. Wu Guo loved her so much that Sun Quan didn't bother to care about her, which made Sun Shangxiang even more arrogant. Every year, she would return to her ancestral home for a period of time. One of them was to visit the mountains.
Shui, secondly, also accompanied Da Qiao and her son.
Sun Shangxiang is arrogant, but not stupid.
She keenly captured some information from Mrs. Qiao's mouth, and then caught Sun Shao for questioning, and got the answer easily.
Sun Shao was brave and his wife was virtuous.
But compared to Sun Shangxiang, he seems to be a little less knowledgeable.
Sun Shaoting was afraid of this aunt, and his face turned pale, but he still nodded stubbornly.
Mrs. Da Qiao looked panicked at the side and remained silent. Sun Shangxiang looked at the mother and son in front of him, and after a while he let out a long sigh.
"Then have you thought about where you want to go?"
"I, I, I want to go to Liangzhou."
"Liangzhou?"
"I heard that Liangzhou is now prosperous and prosperous, and it is constantly expanding.
Last year, Hexi County crossed Shizui Mountain and penetrated deep into the Mobei grassland; while Jiuquan County continued to advance westward, and thirty-six countries submitted their submissions.
This is the time for a man to establish his merits, and I want to go north to seek merits so as not to lose my father's reputation."
Every man hopes to become famous in foreign lands and achieve great achievements.
Even Cao Cao's ideal back then was just to be like Dingyuan Marquis and leave his name in history. Although Sun Shao was imprisoned in his ancestral home in Fuchun, he was not isolated from the world. The development of Liangzhou in these years was often heard in his ears.
中. As a military general, he hopes to expand the territory and eliminate the barbarians like Huo Qubing. However, he is just a caged bird and can only think about it. Now that he has talked it over with Sun Shangxiang, he is not afraid of Sun Shangxiang being in trouble.
Because he also knew that Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan were not actually very harmonious.
Sun Shangxiang is a manly woman.
Different from Sun Quan's situation, Sun Shangxiang can be said to have been taken care of by her brother Sun Ce since she was a child. In her mind, Sun Ce is like a father.
So unknowingly, he was infected with Sun Ce's temper, such as being strong and bold...
As for Sun Quan? He grew up next to Sun Jian. After Sun Jian's death, as Sun Ce's assistant, Sun Quan was very independent and had his own thoughts. After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, even if it was Sun Ce's.
Sun Shangxiang was still unconvinced. Especially when Sun Quan imprisoned Sun Shao and tried desperately to eliminate Sun Ce's influence in Jiangdong, Sun Shangxiang was very dissatisfied...
How could she not know what Sun Shao's mother and son had been through over the years?
However, she was unable to make changes and could only take care of him secretly.
Living in Fuchun for a few months every year, to be honest, I hope to make life easier for Da Qiao and Sun Shao, mother and son.
This is also the greatest help she can give Sun Shao.
However, he did not expect that Sun Shao suddenly wanted to escape and wanted to go north to Liangzhou.
Jiangdong is in the southeast, and Liangzhou is in the northwest, thousands of miles apart. Sun Shangxiang frowned, showing a look of embarrassment.
"Shao, do you know that if you do this, it will be difficult to go back in the future?"
"Look back?"
Sun Shao sneered, "Why is it worth looking back? My father passed away, and Jiangdong is no longer a place for my mother and son. Now, although my grandmother and aunt are taking care of me, how long can they take care of me? My uncle wants me to go to Xudu, but it is just a borrowed knife to kill someone.
.Although I am young, I am not stupid. If I go to Xudu, can I turn back? In the end, will I become a chess piece in the hands of my uncle?
Auntie, this is not what I want, and I don’t want to stay here.
If my mother, sister and I continue to live here, we may not have a good death in the end.
Auntie, for the sake of my father, please help us...help us escape from this prison, and it will also give us a way out."
Sun Shangxiang was silent!
After a long time, she asked Da Qiao softly, "Sister-in-law, do you think so too?"
Now that the words had reached this point, Da Qiao gave up.
Sun Shao was right. If you stay in Jiangdong, you will die. Even if Da Qiao doesn't think about himself, he must still think about Sun Shao and his two daughters. Yes, now he has the old lady Wu Guotai to take care of him, and his sister is married to Zhou Yu.
It can also provide an extra layer of protection. But how long will the protection last? Who can say clearly...
Sun Shao was Sun Quan's nephew, yet he was still so jealous.
No matter how close the sisters are, how long can they last? After all, a married daughter throws away the water! Although Xiao Qiao is Da Qiao's sister, she is Mrs. Zhou after all. What she has to consider is also Zhou Yu and his son and daughter.
In the future, as for Zhou Yu, will he really make the decision for his mother and son? Da Qiao, mother and son have been living in seclusion in Fuchun for many years, and the number of times Zhou Yu has come can be counted on one hand.
Zhou Yu is Sun Shao’s uncle!
But what he did was not even comparable to that of an old general like Cheng Pu...
Of course, from Da Qiao's point of view, he has enough reasons to complain about Zhou Yu. But from Zhou Yu's point of view, he did this to protect Sun Shao. After all, as the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong Navy, Sun Quan's
Few people can match him. With such an identity and status, and because he is not Sun Quan's confidant, he is inherently jealous. If he visits Sun Shao more often, I am afraid that Sun Quan's suspicion of Sun Shao will become even stronger. This is not a good choice.
Sun Quan would even try to kill Sun Shao at all costs... He had such means and the ability. He was able to poison Lu Xun in the past, but now that he is the leader of Soochow, killing Sun Shao is easy.
But precisely because of this, Zhou Yu was also under tremendous pressure.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other veterans, have always been dissatisfied with him. Although he is young and has a higher status than Cheng Pu and others, Zhou Yu's neglect of Sun Shao is also a big reason. In short, this
Jiangdong seems to be peaceful, but things are extremely complicated in the mainland.
Now that Da Qiao had taken the risk, the dissatisfaction he had been feeling for many years suddenly burst out.
"Shao is right, if you continue to stay, you will be dead.
My life or death is irrelevant, but Shao is the only flesh and blood of Bo Fu... Sister, you have also seen that Shao and I live here, and we are nominally the owners of this house, but there are hundreds of people in this house, and there are
How many people regard us as the masters? Even if it is a small space in this small inner house, we must be cautious about what we say. If my sister hadn't arrived today, we wouldn't even dare to say what's in our hearts.
You said I have complaints, yes, I do.
These six counties in Jiangdong were conquered by Bo Fu single-handedly. When Bo Fu died, he entrusted the country to his uncle. I have no objection. But now that Shao has grown up, he can't even walk out of the gate of this mansion. What should we do?
Is it the master or the prisoner here?"
Da Qiao said, tears welling up in his eyes.
The two daughters couldn't help crying when they saw their mother crying.
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and quickly went up to hold the two girls in her arms, "Sister-in-law, look at you... you scared both Yan and Li!
How could Shang Xiang not know the pain in her sister-in-law's heart?
No matter what..."
When Sun Shangxiang's words came to his lips, they turned into a deep sigh.
After a while, she stretched out her hand, pulled Sun Shao over, and said to herself: "In the blink of an eye, Shao has grown up. If my brother is alive, he will be very happy."
"aunt……"
"Shao, how do you want me to help you?"
"I...I want to take my mother and leave this damn place."
"Going to Liangzhou?"
"kindness!"
"No regrets?"
"I will never regret it..."
Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly and said: "I can understand your thoughts, but... you have to understand that even if I can help you leave, if you leave Fuchun, your second uncle will definitely take action. When the time comes, don't wait.
If you walk into the river, you will definitely be caught by your second brother.
At that time..."
Sun Shangxiang closed his eyes and said after a long silence: "Shao, if you want to leave, I will help you.
It's just that this matter needs to be considered in the long term and must not be acted rashly. Moreover, even if you escape Jiangdong, it will be difficult to move to the north. I heard people say that there are many new rules in the north. For example, the money and silk we use are difficult to move in the north.
use.
Moreover, there are many checkpoints along the way, and if you don’t close the disc, you may be caught before you even get to Liangzhou.
... When you go to Liangzhou, you need someone to recommend you. Although you have no freedom here, you will still have enough food and clothing. Is it possible that you took your mother and sister to sleep in the open air in Feng Dinner? Therefore, this matter still needs to be detailed.
Plan. Well, it must be a good livelihood."
Sun Shangxiang's words made Sun Shao overjoyed.
How could he not hear that Sun Shangxiang was not trying to deal with him, but sincerely wanted to help him? He turned to look at his mother and saw a smile on her pale face. This smile was so charming!
Since Sun Ce passed away, Sun Shao had never seen his mother smiling so brightly. He took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down his excitement, and asked respectfully: "May I ask aunt, if you have any ideas?"
"Go to Liangzhou..."
Sun Shangxiang smiled slightly.
"Perhaps, that person can help."
"who?"
Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Don't ask these questions... In this way, tomorrow morning, you will go to Shanyin with me, and we will visit He Qi."
"ah?"
"I believe that He Gongmiao will not sit idly by like your uncle."
"But if I want to go out, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Sun Shangxiang sneered: "What's the difficulty? I want to see who dares to stop me from taking you out of this gate."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just as Sun Shangxiang said, no one in the Sun family's ancestral house in Fuchun dared to stop her.
Who doesn't know Sun Shangxiang's reputation for being unreasonable? Not to mention the maids around her, all of whom are fierce. If she angers the eldest princess of Jiangdong, it will be fatal! In the past few years, people who have died in the hands of Sun Shangxiang will not be long-term.
There are not just one or two people with eyes...
However, she is still arrogant and domineering.
However, if you don't stop him, you won't stop him, but he won't hinder these retainers, so he immediately informed Sun Quan.
But Sun Quan couldn't care about anything else at this time. Cao Cao's thirteenth delegation had arrived in Jiangdong. The leader was not unfamiliar to Jiangdong, Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu.
There are two things that happened to Kuai Yue during his trip.
One is to confirm the marriage between Sun Shao and Cao Cao's daughter, and the other is to increase Sun Quan's position as Grand Sima.
This great Sima is one of the three princes.
Although Cao Cao has now reset the Prime Minister's Office and completely reduced the powers of the Three Dukes, it is also a huge temptation for many people, including Sun Quan. The Three Dukes, that is the highest honor! Not to mention Sun Quan, even the one who is far away is Yi
Liu Zhang, a relative of the state's emperor and an emperor of the Han Dynasty, was also eyeing him. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to ask Cao Cao for a reward or the post of Chief Situ.
And the position of this Great Sima is especially superior to that of the Great Situ.
Even if Sun Quan was not a descendant of the gentry, Sun Jian was only a merchant.
If he could win the title of Great Sima, it would definitely be a glorious thing for the Sun family. Faced with such a temptation, how could Sun Quan refuse?
In addition, he had already agreed to marry Cao Cao in his heart, so when the news of Fuchun came, Sun Quan didn't pay attention.
"Since Shang Xiang is taking him out, let him go."
There is also a subtext, his mother and sister are both in my hands, what tricks can I do? As for He Qi... Sun Quan is a little worried. He Qi was promoted by Sun Ce, and he has made outstanding military achievements. It can be said that Kuaiji Mountain is now more and more.
The reason why He Qi is so honest is because He Qi is in charge of Shanyin. It is not a big deal for Sun Shangxiang to take Sun Shao to visit He Qi. Is it possible that He Qi really dares to rebel for Sun Shao? He Qi is from a noble family, although he is not as good as Wu County.
The Gu family and the Lu family in Songjiang are so big, but they also have a large family.
Therefore, Sun Quan was not worried.
Sooner or later, Sun Shao will have to go to Xudu... Let him enjoy himself in Fuchun for a few days.
Therefore, instead of asking about the matter, Sun Quan sent someone to tell Fuchun: "Shao is my brother's legitimate son, and he is the eldest grandson of the Sun family... Going in and out of the house is a common thing, so why do you need to report it? You are serving in the ancestral home, so I know
The superiors and inferiors respect each other. The expenses of the sister-in-law's family must be indispensable. If there is any neglect, you will definitely be killed."
It sounds like Sun Quan cared deeply for Sun Shao's family.
But if you think about it carefully, you can hear his other meaning: Keep an eye on Da Qiao and her two daughters!
There is a saying that the emperor's family has no family ties.
Although the Sun family is not an emperor's family, Sun Quan's fear of Sun Shao's family is colder and more ruthless than that of the emperor's family...

Outside the Wuhou Mansion, Zhuge Liang was in a low mood.
Beside him, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin also had bitter smiles on their faces.
"Kong Ming, don't look like this... Although Marquis Wu has not agreed today, he has summoned you after all, which shows that Marquis Wu has no objection in his heart."
Zhuge Jin patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder and comforted him softly.
Zhuge Jin complained about his brother, but at the same time he agreed very much.
Zhuge Jin also admired Zhuge Liang's strategy of "divide the world into three parts, and Sun and Wu join forces to resist Cao Cao". Not only Zhuge Jin, but also Lu Su also valued Zhuge Liang's strategy. "The world is divided into three parts" and Lu Su's strategy
"Shang Ce" has different approaches but the same purpose. Even to a certain extent, "Three Points of the World" is more detailed and more comprehensive than "Cot Shang Ce". At the same time, this focus is also a bit more sublime than "Cot Shang Ce".
So after Lu Su heard that Zhuge Liang said "the world is divided into three parts", he sighed sadly: "I am not as good as Kong Mingduo!"
Lu Su privately complained to Zhuge Jin, "Why didn't Ziyu recommend Kong Ming to his lord, so that Liu Bei could help him?"
Zhuge Jin could only smile bitterly...
It was not his brother who could persuade him.
Zhuge Liang has had his own opinions and opinions since he was a child. Not to mention Zhuge Jin, even if his uncle Zhuge Xuan was alive, he might not be able to persuade Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang believed that although there was a natural moat along the Yangtze River in the east of the Yangtze River, one could defend one side of the Yangtze River, but he could not compete with the whole empire.
reason?
very simple!
The layout of Jiangdong is really too small...
To a certain extent, Zhuge Liang agreed with Cao Peng's view of "the East and the West fighting for supremacy, and the North and the South competing for supremacy." This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang worked so hard to conquer Guanzhong after helping Liu Bei capture Jingzhou and Xichuan.
Strategically speaking, Xichuan or Jingchu can be used as a springboard, but they are not enough to serve as a foundation. If you really want to seize the world, you must occupy Guanzhong.
Without him, the resources in the south are really too few!
Just imagine, the total population of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Xichuan is no more than the same as that of the north.
With the great river and natural moat, we can only settle in a small corner.
A few days ago, Zhuge Liang crossed the river to lobby Soochow, and even fought with the Confucian scholars, which was a great success. But Zhuge Liang also knew that the result of this would be that he would be able to tell Sun Quan his views, but at the same time, he would also tell Soochow
Most people are severely offended.
In history, Zhuge Liang had a quarrel with the Confucian scholars and asked Huang Gai to come forward to introduce him.
But what about now?
Due to Cao Cao's restraint, he not only had no intention of sending troops to Jiangdong, but instead tried to comfort him, which weakened the sense of crisis in Jiangdong.
In addition, the visits from Xun Yan and others also made the people of Jiangdong feel at ease.
Just because military generals are not afraid of death does not mean that they will be reckless. If the Yangtze River is used for a water battle, Jiangdong will not be afraid of Cao Cao. But it is not a good idea to abandon strengths and weaknesses and land in Jingchu to fight Cao Cao on land. Without the support of military generals
, although Zhuge Liang has a great reputation, he is still weak after all. Even with the help of Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang's situation did not change much.
Today, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang came to visit Sun Quan.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan was busy receiving Kuai Yue and discussing the appointment of Grand Sima...
As a result, Zhuge Liang's position became even more embarrassing. After staying in Wuhou's mansion for a while, he had to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother, don't worry, Liang is not discouraged.
Just sighing, no one in Jiangdong is aware of the current crisis... Zijing, if you continue, I am afraid that when Uncle Liu Huang perishes, it will also be the day Jiangdong is destroyed. Marquis Wu does not know the importance, and is complacent about the ineffectiveness of a great minister.
Not a good thing, not a good thing."
Lu Su looked embarrassed.
"Kong Ming, be careful what you say!"
"I……"
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that this was not Changsha, but Jiangdong.
What I just said was a bit excessive! But it is also understandable that Zhuge Liang is not yet in his thirties, and after suffering repeated blows, he is inevitably a little angry. He handed over his hands and apologized to Lu Su. Lu Su smiled slightly and said
I won’t mind what Zhuge Liang just said.
“Although what Kong Ming just said was a bit excessive, it is not unreasonable.
How could I not know that my lips were dead and my teeth were cold? However, Cao Cao was cunning and suddenly withdrew his troops. This temptation made everyone in Jiangdong lose their original intention. However, Wu Hou is not a fatuous master and must have been aware of it. It was only for a while that he still
I can't make up my mind... If Marquis Wu wants to make a decision, you and I alone may not be enough. Kong Ming, you and I need to pay a visit to one more person. As long as this person comes forward, he won't be able to make Marquis Wu change his mind."
Zhuge Jin was startled when he heard this, and then he realized, "Could it be him who Zijing said?"
"Exactly!"
Lu Su said: "In the past, when Bo Fu passed away, he once said, 'Ask Zhang Zhao if you are not sure about domestic affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you are not sure about foreign affairs.'
Guo Yi. But Gong Jin is still here, thinking about it, I know the importance in my heart."
"So, I will take Kong Ming to Chaisang right now?"
"Yeah, that's fine!"
The three of them discussed countermeasures as they walked.
But before he got home, he saw a retainer coming in a hurry.
"Sir, I just got the news that Governor Zhou has left Chaisang and is on his way back."
Lu Su was overjoyed when he heard this, and smiled and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, it seems that Gong Jin has also got the news... Since he is back, he must persuade Wu Hou. In this way, you and Ziyu will go to Wucheng early tomorrow morning, and on the way
Stop Gong Jin. When the time comes and explain the interests to him, the Marquis of Wu will be able to make a decision. I will stay in Wu County to stabilize the situation for you. If anything happens, I will inform you immediately."
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
"In this case, I will go back to the inn to prepare."
Zhuge Liang said goodbye and hurried back to the official post.
Zhou Yu is back!
There must be a turning point in this matter...
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the blurry shadow in the mirror, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, a look of loneliness flashed across his handsome face.
I didn't expect that Cao Cao could have such great restraint.
After capturing Jingchu, facing such a huge temptation from Jiangdong, he refused to send troops to conquer.
This man is truly a hero!
After an uneventful night, Zhuge Liang got up early the next day, changed his clothes, and was about to go out. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin hurried into the post house. After seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him.
Zhuge Liang's hand said, "Kong Ming, something bad is going to happen!"
"Brother, what happened to make you so panicked?"
"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Cao Cao..." Zhuge Jin finally took a breath and stammered: "Cao Cao, we are sending troops!"
