"How do you know that this person is the sister of Jiangdong Sun Quan?!"
"In the past, I accompanied Zhuge's military advisor on an envoy to Jiangdong. I heard from people that General Sun Tuini had three sons and one daughter, all of whom were among the best. Guxi had paid close attention to inquire about it, so he learned that his daughter's name was Sun Ren, with a small name of Shangxiang."
"What does this girl mean by coming far away from Jiangdong?!"
"I think I wanted to go to Jiangling to visit Zhou Yu, but I ran out of money on the way, so I ended up living in the pheasant."
"It's ridiculous. The sister of a prince went on a patrol without any soldiers to protect her or a maid to accompany her. She traveled alone but ran out of money, and she happened to end up in my Jiangxia territory?!"
"Absolutely ridiculous, but possible."
"You still don't recruit people from the real thing!!!"
"She just didn't want to marry the lord and ran away from the marriage."
"Well, it turns out that I ran out of money and unfortunately ended up living in Jiangxia. Well, it's very pitiful."
"No, General Guan, that's what I just said."
Guan Yu immediately looked at Zhang Xi with wide eyes, and Zhang Xi was so shocked that he swallowed what he said next.
Guan Yu was also helpless. It was better to keep things like running away from marriage in the stomach. If his eldest brother knew about it, how could he be embarrassed? !
Seeing that Zhang Xi swallowed his words wisely, Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "In that case, it is not wrong for you to send this girl to Jiangling. But why is she in your house now?" Are you staying here?!"
Just think that you concealed it deliberately to avoid Sun Shangxiang's escape from marriage, which would make everyone look bad.
But everyone was sent away, so why did she come back? !
Zhang Xi was also puzzled by this question.
"Xi Shi doesn't know about this."
Zhang Xi told the truth, but Guan Yu believed that Zhang Xi told the truth, otherwise he would not have come to him to talk about it.
But the problem is that a woman ran away from marriage and traveled thousands of miles to join Zhou Yu. In the blink of an eye, she came to Zhang Xi again in a few days. Do you still need to ask? !
Guan Yu has three children.
Guan Yu, who was familiar with "Spring and Autumn", was naturally very dissatisfied with Sun Shangxiang's behavior. He felt that she did not look like a lady of the world. But to be honest, his younger siblings were ladies of the world, but so was his third brother. Forget it. , forget it, everyone has their youth.
"Your fault is that you didn't tell me about this matter in advance. If you had told me earlier, how could something like this happen if I wrote to my brother?!" Guan Yu finally narrowed his glasses and thought for a while. , said, "Well, it's not too late to do this. I'll write a letter to my brother and explain it to you."
Zhang Xi was immediately overjoyed, all he needed was for Second Master Qian Guan to come forward.
With Erye Guan stepping forward, this matter at least has a layer of insurance, and the Lord Liu Bei can talk much easier.
Guan Yu didn't do any ink, so he immediately went back to his study and wrote a letter, and then gave it to his attendants in the palace, asking him to quickly cross the river to the mouth of Youjiang River. He handed it to Liu Bei mainly because he was afraid that he would be late and would not be able to make it in time.
As for Zhang Xi
"Please stay in my house for a while. After this matter is decided, you can go back to my house and don't make any mistakes!!!"
Guan Yu warned Zhang Xi quite seriously.
Naturally, Zhang Xi agreed wholeheartedly. But he just didn't understand. He had already taken the initiative to run out, so why would he go back and make another mistake? !
Guan Yu was still a little uneasy, so he called Guan Ping and asked him to keep an eye on Zhang Xi during this period. If he was working in the government office, that would be fine. If he dared to go back to his mansion, he would come to see him with his broken leg.
Zhang Xi's depressed one. Why? I'm not your son! !
But Zhang Xi really didn't dare to object, because Guan Yu really dared to break his legs.
Zhang Xi then settled in Guan Mansion.
This is not a bad thing. Little Deng Ai is still living in Guan Mansion and receiving martial arts instruction from Guan Ping. During these free days, he can just teach his disciples.
As for Zhang Xi's boss, Guan Yinping, who suddenly appeared with a group of maids and took over the defense of Zhang Xi's house, Sun Shangxiang knew that Zhang Xi, a dishonest guy, must have betrayed himself.
Sun Shangxiang was furious at the time and planned to break out of Zhang's house regardless, but was stopped by Guan Yinping.
Sun Shangxiang also didn't expect that he, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was twenty years old, would be controlled by a little girl of thirteen or fourteen.
It's not that the little girl is so skilled in martial arts, this girl is a weirdo.
Just holding his wrist, Sun Shangxiang couldn't break away.
At first, Sun Shangxiang was not convinced and insisted on competing with him. The consequence of the struggle was that during dinner that evening, Sun Shangxiang had to be fed. He could not lift his hands.
Damn it, where did this little girl get such strength? !
And such a commotion made Sun Shangxiang really afraid to sneak away until his hand recovered. His hand was not healed, and he couldn't ride a horse when he went out, let alone run far.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang settled quietly in Zhang Xi's mansion.
As for the other side, Liu Bei's side only needed three or four days for Guan Yu's urgent letter to be delivered to Liu Bei's hands.
After Liu Bei read the letter, he was surprised and even dumbfounded.
He quickly found Zhuge Liang and showed him Guan Yu's letter, and Zhuge Liang also smiled bitterly.
"Yuan Changzhen. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!" Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang, slightly speechless.
Zhuge Liang thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said something nice to Zhang Xi, saying, "I think Yuan Chang wanted to explain, but the military discussion is about marriage, so I don't want to offend the lord."
But Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhang is too worried. Am I that kind of person who values women and despises talents?! If it weren't for the letter from Yunchang explaining this matter, this matter would have almost turned into a big mistake. It's just the military advisor, Ru Yun What did Sun Quan mean by what he said in the long letter?!"
Zhuge Liang also pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "My lord, Yuan Chang came from a poor family, so he may not be in Sun Zhongmou's eyes. And Sun Zhongmou may also take his sister's wishes to heart."
"But if he really marries his sister to me, wouldn't it mean to alienate the friendship between our king and his subjects?!" Liu Bei suddenly said in a cold voice.
In this regard, Zhuge Liang remained silent.
If it is true as what Guan Yu said in his letter, then Sun Quan's intentions are indeed very sinister.
Although Liu Bei Group's talent pool is now slowly enriched, Zhang Xi's role is still obvious.
Not only can they guard one side and handle government affairs, but they can also lead troops to fight.
And if nothing else, his ability in training soldiers is worthy of any prince spending a lot of money to poach people.
When Kou Feng and Liu Bei reported on Changsha's military affairs a few days ago, Zhuge Liang was also present. Regarding Kou Feng's suggestion of forming mountain troops, Zhuge Liang also felt that it was very suitable for the four counties in Jingnan.
There are too many mountains in the four counties of Jingnan, and the counties are very scattered.
It would be of great benefit to Liu Bei's rule if there was such a force that could fight in the mountains and move quickly for support.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang supported Kou Feng in training such troops, and even said that he would give Kou Feng some ways to train, but Kou Feng said that Zhang Xi had already taught him specific recruitment and training methods.
Basically, Zhuge Liang had the same idea, and Zhang Xi also gave Zhuge Liang some inspiration on the use of this mountain unit. Indeed, such a unit is very suitable for harassment, sneak attacks, and even beheading operations.
So although Liu Bei has a lot of talents now, there is really no one who can really replace Zhang Xi.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang also spoke up and stood up for Zhang Xi, saying, "No matter what Sun Zhongmou wants, if the other party wants to get married, I will do it with him. My lord can ask Sun Zhongmou to marry his sister on behalf of the Yuan leader, and it will be a good idea for the Yuan leader." This means that secondly, my lord no longer needs to worry about how to reject the Jiangdong marriage."
Liu Bei was also happy when he heard this, but then he frowned slightly and said, "Yuan Chang. After all, his background is a bit humble. I'm afraid Sun Zhongmou won't want to."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This matter is not our fault. He wants to get married, so we will propose marriage on behalf of Yuan Chang. If he regrets it, how can he convince everyone if he is so capricious?!"
Liu Bei immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant and laughed.
In the past few days, I had been worried about how to reject Sun Quan's hint of marriage. But now it's better. Guan Yu's letter has perfectly solved the matter.
Liu Bei immediately summoned Sun Qian and asked him to prepare enough gifts and go to Jiangdong to propose marriage to Zhang Xi.
Sun Qian was still confused at first, why the marriage partner suddenly changed from his lord to Zhang Xi.
If you are not marrying Liu Bei, what kind of marriage is that? !
But soon, Sun Qian learned what happened from Liu Bei's mouth, and understood that this was an excuse for Liu Bei to reject Sun Quan because he did not want to marry Jiangdong.
By the way, Sun Qian remembered that the man surnamed Sun, whom he had met once at the ferry, also laughed. He told Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang about this, which once again caused Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others to laugh.
This Zhang Yuanchang is really young and frivolous.
Then, Sun Qian was ordered to set off for Jiangdong. When passing through Xiakou, he stayed for a day and told Zhang Xi the good news.
Then Zhang Xi was shocked to the core.
Who the hell wants to marry Sun Shangxiang? !
