Sun Quan was so depressed that he wished he could kill Liu Mang with a sword on the spot!
The favor he had gained from teaching him how to play for the top has now been wasted.
However, his mother, Wu Guotai, liked Liu Mang and always held his hand and talked about his personal shortcomings.
Younger sister Sun Shangxiang and sister-in-law Da Qiao followed and listened.
Even Taishi Ci, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai admired Liu Mang.
"Wu Hou! As long as you give the order, I will lead the swordsmen to kill Liu Changqing!"
Ling Tong took the initiative to step forward and saw what Sun Quan was thinking.
"If we attack here, can you defeat Zhao Zilong?"
Ling Tong blushed when he heard this. He was no match for Tai Shi Ci, let alone Zhao Yun.
"As for you letting the sword master come out, what if Liu Mang kidnaps my mother?"
Sun Quan reprimanded: "Before you do anything, use your brain first! Learn from Lu Ziming and read more military books!"
Ling Tong was scolded so badly that he had to apologize constantly.
"This thing is called white sugar."
"I didn't bring much with me when I came here, so I gave it to Guo Tai and Guo Lao to enjoy first."
Liu Mang took out two small packets of sugar and handed them to the two old people.
“The taste is dense and sweet!”
Qiao Guolao said with a smile: "I have never eaten such good candy!"
Although Zhuge Liang sold the sugar to Jiangdong, the Jiangdong nobles who were thieves would only sell it to the north at a high price, so how could they pay tribute to Sun Quan?
"Kota, I have an unkind request, and I hope that Guota will agree!"
"What's the matter with a good son-in-law? Just say so!"
Wu Guotai's face was full of joy, and he carefully poked some sugar with his hand and put it into his mouth.
"I want to pay homage to my late brother Sun Bofu!"
Liu Mang bowed and saluted, and said humbly: "My eldest brother is a hero. Today I saw Da Qiao's sister-in-law dressed in plain clothes. It must be the anniversary of my eldest brother's death!"
"As a junior, I should go to pay homage! Unfortunately, now that my name is not justified, I hope that the king will agree!"
Qiao Guolao looked ashamed, "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we visited Bo Fu!"
"Liu Changqing is truly a benevolent and righteous gentleman! Mrs. Guo, can this matter be..."
Sun Quan said anxiously: "No! Liu Changqing is just an outsider, what qualifications does he have to pay homage to his brother?"
"Liu Mang, go back to the post house quickly!"
Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "Brother! Today is the anniversary of my eldest brother's death, and you didn't even go to pay homage!"
"My sister-in-law and I have been to my brother's tomb a long time ago!"
Sun Quan looked ashamed and said: "The state affairs are heavy... I just forgot for a moment!"
Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "Then why didn't you forget to throw the pot?"
Snapped!
Wu Guotai was angry and slapped the table angrily. The brother and sister decisively shut up.
"A worthy son-in-law wants to worship Bo Fu, and he lives up to his reputation as a gentleman!"
"As for the outsiders Zhongmou said, it's better to choose a day than to hit it!"
"How about we decide on the marriage between Chang Qing and Shang Xiang here today?"
Sun Quan felt like he was struck by thunder, so he used his sister as bait to ally with Liu Bei if he could advance, and intercept and kill Liu Mang if he retreated to please Cao Cao.
It's good now. The two of them don't even know each other's horoscopes, so they are about to get engaged?
The person who proposed the engagement was my mother Wu Guotai!
"Old Qiao?"
Sun Quan looked at Qiao Guolao, hoping that he could dissuade his mother.
"Is what Guotai said too early?"
"Mr. Guo, you are right!"
Sun Quan breathed a long sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Qiao Guolao said with a smile: "You can get married today. Good things are hard to come by, but they are not beautiful!"
Wait!
Sun Quan said anxiously: "We have to get married before we are engaged! It is not legal!"
"What's more, Liu Xuande is not here! How can we get married and not meet the man's parents?"
When Wu Guotai heard this, he nodded, "What Zhongmou said makes sense! Let's make a marriage arrangement today!"
"Let's go! I'll go worship Bo Fu together!"
There was a trace of goodwill in Taishi Ci's eyes. After Sun Quan came to power, he intentionally or unintentionally downplayed Sun Ce's achievements.
In previous years, he secretly went to worship Sun Ce!
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang looked at each other and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go! Let's worship Bo Fu together!"
Go to the east of the Yangtze River to find all the romantic figures of the ages!
When he came to Sun Ce's tomb, Liu Mang personally offered incense and paid homage.
"Brother, you are nicknamed the Little Overlord. You dominate Jiangdong and eye the Central Plains!"
"Now that you are not here, Cao Cao is a traitor and wants to rob Jiangdong!"
"Tongque Chun Shen, lock Er Qiao tightly! Brother, don't worry, although Chang Qing is only thirteen years old, you are still willing to risk your life to protect your sister-in-law!"
"Old thief Cao Cao, if you want to imprison your two sisters-in-law in Tongque Tower, you must first step on my body, Liu Changqing!"
Liu Mang was impassioned, full of ambition, and full of passion: "Brother is here today, and he will definitely choose to fight to the death! The children of Jiangdong are so talented, and a fight to the death is unknown!"
When the generals present heard this, they were all filled with indignation.
"How dare thief Cao do this! Mrs. Qiao is Bo Fu's widow, and she must not be handed over to him!"
"If the traitor Cao is allowed to bully the two ladies, wouldn't all the men from Jiangdong become a coward?"
"Heads may be cut off and blood may be shed, but we must never surrender to Cao Cao!"
"Cao Cao dares to invade, Taishi Ziyi will serve with his two halberds!"
Seeing the murderous generals looking at Sun Quan one after another, Wu Hou felt that it was difficult to get off the tiger.
"Zhong Mou! Cao Cao is going to imprison your two sisters-in-law in Tongque Terrace for humiliation! Are you going to remain indifferent!"
Wu Guotai said angrily: "Although I am a woman, I can never forgive Cao Cao's traitor!"
Qiao Guolao was leaning on a cane and said angrily: "Cao Cao wants to kidnap my daughter, I will fight him at all costs!"
Seeing the women, children and veterans all inspired by Liu Mang, Sun Quan knew Liu Changqing's plot!
It seems that he wants to please Wu Guotai and want to marry Sun Shangxiang, but in fact he is mobilizing everyone to fight against Cao!
In the current situation, if Sun Quan says no, it will definitely damage morale and the veterans will be dissatisfied with him!
"Mother! It's not the children who don't resist, but Zhang Zibu, Gu Yuantan and others who insist on surrendering!"
"The Zhang family and the Gu family are deeply rooted in Jiangdong, so it's a bit difficult!"
Seeing the worried look on Wu Guotai's eyes, Liu Mang smiled and said, "Guotai, our military advisor Zhuge has a sharp tongue and can change everyone's mind!"
"Thanks to the great kindness of the country, I am willing to introduce Mr. Zhuge to Zhang Zibu, Gu Yuantan and others!"
When Wu Guotai heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Okay! That's great! My good son-in-law helps me solve my problems in Jiangdong again!"
"Zhongmou, we will arrange for Mr. Zhuge to meet with them tomorrow!"
"If they persist in their stubbornness, I will fight with them myself!"
Sun Quan repeatedly said that he did not dare, and his eyes showed deep fear towards Liu Mang.
Please the queen of the country, show favor to the elders of the country, and make friends with Da Qiao. Every step of the way brought Liu Mang to Ganlu Temple smoothly!
Now even Wu Guotai and Qiao Guolao have expressed their intention to resist Cao Cao, plus Tai Shi Ci, Cheng Pu and others, the army will definitely respond!
"Don't worry, mother, I will arrange a meeting between Mr. Zhuge and Zhang Zibu tomorrow!"
Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce's tomb and sighed: "Brother, I am not as good as you in attacking the city, but in guarding Jiangdong, you are not as good as me!"
…
Within the post house.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun discussed the game, and the two chatted happily.
Lu Xun let down his guard and stopped acting cautious.
"Mr. Zhuge, if I defect to the young master...will Marquis Wu really not embarrass the Lu family?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Boyan, Marquis Wu will only treat you kindly and will never make things difficult for you!"
