Zhou Yu came up with a good idea - a beauty trap.
Of course, it's not Wang Yun's beauty trap. To be honest, Zhou Yu really hates Wang Yun's style. What he asked Diao Chan to do is not so much a beauty trap as a use of time.
The beauty trap that Zhou Yu thought of was a very pure one without any other purpose.
It is to provide Liu Bei with a few more beauties, to make Liu Bei accustomed to this kind of lavish life, and to make Liu Bei lose his fighting spirit and will, so that Liu Bei can be alienated from his subordinates and ultimately defeated.
Zhou Yu believed that a master like him who came from an aristocratic family and had eaten before would do such ridiculous things as sleeping with him under the joint attack of his wife and Xiao Qiao, let alone Liu Bei, a straw sandal seller. Born poor.
Of course, Zhou Yu also knew that Liu Bei would probably not take it seriously if he just presented beauties, and he might not even meet him. In the end, these beauties would be rewarded to his subordinate officials to win over people's hearts. .
To make Liu Bei obsessed, first of all, this beauty must be something that Liu Bei cannot refuse, secondly, it must be good at charming people's hearts, and finally, it must be something that Liu Bei cannot easily give up.
A woman who meets the conditions put forward by Zhou Yu must be a woman from a noble family.
Because of the genetic relationship between their parents, there are very few girls from aristocratic families who are not beautiful. They themselves have received education, culture, temperament, and appearance since childhood, and are all things that people from lower-class backgrounds like Liu Bei have never seen before.
Zhou Yu’s idea is to choose a woman from aristocratic families who has an outstanding family background, outstanding appearance, and is knowledgeable and courteous to marry Liu Bei as his wife. Then, among the dowry girls, he will select more women who are good at seducing and marry them together. past.
In Zhou Yu's view, Liu Bei was from a lower class background and had never seen the charm of aristocratic girls. He should quickly become addicted to the charm of aristocratic girls. At this time, let those women who are good at seducing Liu Bei instigate Liu Bei to indulge in wine and enjoy luxurious life. In life, Liu Bei will definitely become addicted to wine and sex in the end, which will gradually sap his fighting spirit, and gradually alienate him from his subordinates Wenwu.
The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.
Liu Bei, a straw sandal seller, has never had a good time in his life, how could he endure it? !
Even someone from a noble family like me couldn't help it, let alone Liu Bei.
But there is no such woman beside Zhou Yu.
Nanjun was newly conquered, and Zhou Yu himself had not understood the intricate interest relationships in Nanjun City. How could these aristocratic families be willing to use their daughters to trick Zhou Yu.
Therefore, Zhou Yu wrote a letter to Sun Quan, asking Sun Quan to help find a suitable girl from a noble family in Jiangdong to marry Liu Bei.
On the one hand, it is a marriage, which consolidates the alliance between Sun and Liu and prevents Cao Cao from going south easily.
On the other hand, he used a honey trap to completely corrupt Liu Bei.
After Sun Quan received Zhou Yu's letter, he immediately fell into deep thought.
Last time Liu Bei sent someone to deliver gifts, it was like a marriage alliance, and he ended up sending a plow.
Let's face it, that plow is a good thing, and it did help him stabilize his rule and win over the people. But he seems a little uneasy and kind-hearted.
Liu Beifang's Sun Qian came to give gifts and made it look like a marriage. The matter was still being discussed in Chaisang City. People who didn't know thought that Sun and Liu were really married.
Although Lu Su helped himself to make amends, he allowed himself to use the excuse to weaken the influence of Liu Bei's plow delivery, and also explained the location when issuing Qu Yuan Li. This plow is now called "Madam's Plow", which is Sun Quan's benevolent policy in Chaisang City. People here know that the plow came from Liu Bei, and as time goes by, this matter will spread to some extent.
Sun Quan didn't even dare to think about how it would spread when it reached the local area.
Now, Zhou Yu suddenly suggested that Sun Quan choose a suitable girl from aristocratic family, and on the one hand marry her, and on the other hand use a honey trap. What a honey trap, let's just marry her directly.
Liu Bei did not have a wife, but only one concubine, Mrs. Gan. Sun Quan knew about this.
Mrs. Gan is just a concubine, and Liu Bei has not corrected her for so many years, which means that either the relationship between the two is not good, or there is a problem with her background and she cannot be a legitimate wife.
So there are no obstacles to marriage.
As for the candidates for marriage, Sun Quan had never thought about the daughter of a noble family. His sister was already twenty years old. If she didn't get married, it would be really difficult for her to get married.
Originally, in Jiangdong, my sister's name was too resounding, and it was not easy to marry. There happened to be an unwitting victim. Well, no, she was an honest person.
Although Liu Bei is a bit older, he can still be regarded as a successful man, a hero known to the world, and a monarch in terms of status, and he has not treated his sister badly.
When people in this era consider marriage, age is the least important thing. Identity, status, background, and interests are the things that need to be carefully considered.
The only problem is that Sun Quan is a little afraid that his sister will not agree.
As a younger sister, she has been doted on by her brother since she was a child and raised as a daughter.
Later, the elder brother unfortunately died young, and the younger sister was raised by her mother. Although her mother had always been strict in her education, she generally doted on her younger sister, which resulted in her younger sister's character and temper being always relatively domineering.
Her mother also passed away a few years ago. I don’t know what kind of stimulation this girl received, and she began to become more and more lawless.
But before his mother passed away, Sun Quan had vowed to take good care of his sister. Whether it was life or marriage, she made all the decisions on her own, which made it a bit difficult to manage now.
Now if I tell my sister that I want to marry her to an old man in his fifties, Sun Quan, for a political marriage, I immediately feel a chill on the back of my neck.
This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Sun Quan thought for a long time and felt that he still couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone to Lu Su and Zhang Zhao to ask for their advice.
As soon as Lu Su and Zhang Zhao heard about their master's move, they naturally rushed over quickly.
Then when they heard that Sun Quan said that he wanted to marry his sister to Liu Bei, the two wanted to turn around and leave.
Please, you still don’t know your sister’s temper and virtues? !
Up and down Jiangdong, from the government to the army, who can offend your sister? !
If Sun Shangxiang knew that the two people were involved in this matter, he would have to tear down the door of their home.
Lu Su immediately lowered his head, closed his eyes, and said "I'm thinking" without saying a word.
And Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao is a veteran minister, he is old, and he has watched Sun Shangxiang grow up, so he thought about it and said, "My lord, please ask Ren'er for his opinion on this matter before making a decision! "
If I dare to ask Sun Quan who is so angry, is he looking for you? !
Zhang Zhao is also unjust. He is an old man. He really can't stand the torture of your sister.
Well, even if I am a veteran, I have also been your sister's teacher. Your sister gives me face, but I still have sons and grandsons.
Who in Jiangdong doesn’t know what kind of temper your sister is? !
If she knew that I was involved in this matter, even if she gave me face, she would not give face to my children and grandchildren.
At best, she is Gong Yao Ji, but at worst, her nickname is Xiao Ji!
The owl is not a good bird.
Anyway, Lu Su pretended to be stupid and Zhang Zhao came up with an idea that was not his idea, which made it difficult for Sun Quan to handle.
In the end, Sun Quan gave up. He didn't want to offend his sister, so he said that he should take a step back and follow Zhou Yu's plan to choose a girl with both good looks and good looks from the aristocratic family to marry Liu Bei.
After saying this, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao were immediately resurrected.
Lu Su recommended the daughter of Bu Zheng's family. Although she was a little younger, she was said to be both talented and beautiful, and was called a talented girl from Jiangdong by many scribes.
But Zhang Zhao was even more ruthless. He directly recommended Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, the legitimate daughter of the four major Jiangdong aristocratic families.
This group of Jiangdong aristocratic families usually have high standards. The daughters of the aristocratic families also marry within the aristocratic families. Even the lord Sun Quan looks down on them.
Now, let's ask you to marry a straw sandal seller, which can be regarded as venting your anger on Sun Quan's behalf.
Sun Quan was very interested in this.
Although Sun Quan also respected Lu Su's suggestion, Bu Zhi's daughter was not good enough. Not only the scholars of Jiangdong had heard about the rumors, but he, the lord of Jiangdong, had also heard about it, and was about to discuss it with Bu Zhi. She is a concubine for herself.
Zhang Zhao's suggestion is better. I've long been unhappy with the condescending attitude of those aristocratic families. Now I ask you to marry a straw sandal seller. It's good to feel disgusted.
And speaking of it, Liu Bei was born in a clan of the Han Dynasty and was recognized as an imperial uncle by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty himself. Now he also owns the land of five counties and is the master of one side.
Marrying a daughter of the Jiangdong family as the first wife is already a high achievement for the Jiangdong family.
If these Jiangdong families dare to refuse, Sun Quan really dares to accuse them of disrespecting the Han Dynasty.
Although we still can't do anything to them, whoever has this name on his head will have a bad reputation. Isn't the most important thing for aristocratic families these days is reputation.
Sun Quan thought this was a good thing, and the next day he summoned the heads of the four major families in Jiangdong to discuss with them which family would give up their legitimate daughter to marry Liu Bei? !
Don't say you don't agree, you are quite comfortable using the Quyuan plow that was given to you, right? !
The one from the four major aristocratic families who was in trouble couldn't refuse in person, so he could only tell Sun Quan to go back and choose a suitable candidate. But looking back, each one was more sinister than the other, and they all ran to Sun Quan and told Sun Quan that their daughter was not good, not only good in appearance, but also talented in literature. Not as good as the other three families, and the daughters of the other three families were so outstanding that Sun Quanle was almost disappointed.
But soon, Sun Quan couldn't be happy anymore.
The steward of the government came to report that early this morning, Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang went out hunting, but soon she rode alone, threw away the protective guards and her female soldiers, and disappeared without a trace.
Sun Quan was furious and almost killed the steward with a sword.
Sun Quan, who was extremely anxious, immediately issued an order, ordering Jia Hua and others who were responsible for the security of the General's Mansion to search around and make sure to ensure Sun Shangxiang's safety and find him safely.
But the person was not found, but the letter was found.
Sun Shangxiang left a letter saying that because she was dissatisfied with Sun Quan's decision to marry her to a fifty-year-old man, she decided to run away from home in anger.
Sun Quan, the anxious one, was not in the mood to watch the jokes of the four great families. He had better hurry up and get his sister back first.
These are troubled times, and it’s not safe for a little girl to go anywhere.
