When Sun Quan was speaking, Gu Yong and others were watching his attitude.
In fact, the Taichu Palace had not yet been repaired, and Sun Quan got angry. Zhang Zhao and others waiting outside could hear it, but they found that Sun Quan could restrain his anger and still treated them well. They felt relieved and respected Sun Quan especially.
This flexible trick suddenly made them more loyal.
Everyone knows that the battlefield has its own methods, and the political situation has its own methods.
Marriage has been around since ancient times and is extremely common now.
From afar, Xun Yu's children were married to most of Cao Cao's camp. From a closer look, Lu Xun married Sun Ce's daughter.
But the marriage Sun Quan talked about was still too whimsical.
No one present was afraid of sacrificing the interests of a granddaughter. What they were worried about was the timing.
Now that the Cao family has the right time, place and people, they have the upper hand everywhere. As expected, after the autumn harvest in the second half of this year, they will launch a general attack on Jiangdong.
Under this situation, why did Cao Cao agree to Jiangdong's marriage request?
Sun Quan glanced at Sun Shangxiang again.
When Sun Shangxiang heard his brother's words, his heart skipped a beat, and when he discovered that his brother had been looking at him, he felt even more worried.
Sure enough, Sun Quan said: "Shang Xiang is very talented. Cao Wu pretended to be Zhang Song and deceived all the officials in Jiangdong. Only Shang Xiang saw through him and deliberately got close to him in order to find out the situation. Although he failed in the end, But the two have a friendship.”
Sun Quan's words made everyone present turn blue and purple.
At that time, they were not only deceived, but also scolded like rats in front of their faces. Unfortunately, now, none of them can even scold them back.
Hearing that Sun Shangxiang and Cao Wu had an intersection, several people recalled it, especially Bu Lianshi. Thinking of the situation at that time, it was really like this, but it was not easy for them to speak directly.
Gu Yong hesitated and said: "That's right. Zijing's words are actually a conspiracy. If Cao Wu can not marry Sun's daughter, then Cao's army's offensive will naturally slow down, and we can have at least a year of breathing space. And Marrying a daughter from the Sun family can also cause discord between brothers Cao Cao and Cao Wu. But can Cao Wu really accept the daughter from the Sun family?"
Trainer Bu then said: "This is a very clever plan. No one can refuse Shang Xiang."
What she said was somewhat straightforward, but only she, the sister-in-law, could say such things, and it was difficult for other male officials to say it.
With the endorsement of Sun Shangxiang's sister-in-law, other civil servants were emboldened. Zhang Zhao said: "Of course, in this case, we might as well give it a try. There will be no loss if it doesn't work. If it works, it will be the best conspiracy."
Sun Shangxiang looked around, biting her lip, her face flushed. She didn't hate Cao Wu, but she wasn't ready for marriage yet. She looked at Sun Quan pleadingly, wanting to slow down.
But Sun Quan had a straight face and didn't look at her.
Her heart went cold, and she suddenly realized that there was indeed an unlucky person today, but it was obviously not Zhang Zhao, but her.
She, Sun Quan's biological sister, turned out to be a tool, used by Lu Su as a prop for his conspiracy, and was discussed by all the ministers.
She felt like a rag being thrown around.
She was about to verbally resist, but Master Bu took her hand and pulled her down.
Trainer Bu knows better than she does, and she has no place to speak here.
Sun Shangxiang just felt that the sky was falling. Why did his brother, who had always supported him, become like this? He was obviously very angry, but he still wanted to treat Zhang Zhao deeply and marry him off.
Could it be that all the love he has received over the past ten years is fake?
Later, she heard that after the discussion in Taichu Palace, Sun Quan even straightened Lu Ji's hair with his own hands to show his respect for the Lu family. This was completely different from the previous statement that he wanted to get rid of the Lu family.
She also heard that Sun Quan actually visited Lu Xun's family, but Lu Xun's wife, her niece, was quietly picked up by merchants from the north. This aspect reflects that the person who appeared on the Jiaozhou battlefield was Lu Xun.
She heard that Sun Quan was very angry because of this, but he still did not touch the Lu family.
When employing people, no one can touch them, only she, Sun Shangxiang, can.
Sun Shangxiang was in a state of despair. He thought of all the things that happened when Cao Wu was here, and thought of marrying to the north like this. He didn't know what to do, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
After finally enduring the whole night, Trainer Bu knocked on the door. The first thing he said when he came in was: "Are you ready? We are going north today."
"Today? So soon?"
Sun Shangxiang jumped up.
"Yes, I only found out later that Mr. Zijing is indeed my husband's most valued adviser, and his marriage is actually a series of plans. This matter will spread soon, and there is no harm in talking to you."
In order to comfort Sun Shangxiang, Trainer Bu slowly explained Lu Su's entire strategy.
Lu Su's marriage alliance was indeed a conspiracy, because he also made a bigger plan to ensure that Cao Wu would accept Sun Shangxiang.
Lu Su is one of the best strategists in the world. He may not even be able to defeat Xing Daorong when he arranges his troops on the battlefield, but he has an excellent strategic vision.
He sent his personally selected eloquent experts to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Ma Chao in Xiliang, Gongsun Zan in Liaodong, and even the southern Huns and Qiang people.
These people have only one purpose. As long as they are willing to contain Cao Jun this year, Jiangdong will contribute countless amounts of firewood and grain.
Although Jiangdong has not been fully developed, it is a land of plenty. There are not enough people who can fight, but there is a lot of money and food.
These fringe forces will form a large net to surround the place occupied by Cao's army.
At least until now, Jiangdong is still Cao Cao's most important enemy.
Cao Cao will definitely solve his worries first and then attack Jiangdong. During the Battle of Chibi, the rebellion of the major forces was resolved first before the army marched forward.
But this year is different. Lu Su believes that as long as he explains clearly the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and supplemented by a huge amount of money and food, someone will be tempted.
As long as one or two of these many forces actually send troops, then Lu Su will win the bet, and Cao Jun will definitely mobilize troops to defend.
Cao Cao needed time to eliminate these small separatist forces except Yizhou, while Jiangdong took the opportunity to recuperate and come up with other ways to break the situation.
In this way, Sun Shangxiang's marriage can be used to buffer the relationship between Cao and Sun. This marriage, which is tied to the edge of a shaky cliff, has become something that both families are looking forward to.
After hearing this plan for the first time, Sun Shangxiang himself felt that Lu Su was really powerful.
She finally sighed leisurely and looked out the window: "What's wrong with marrying that ugly guy?"
Finally receiving Sun Shangxiang's approval, Master Bu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and went back to report to Sun Quan.
When she arrived at Taichu Palace, she found that Sun Quan was writing a letter. When he saw her coming, he actually put it away.
She waited silently for Sun Quan to put it away before telling Sun Shangxiang what he said.
Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Let's set off today. Zijing will accompany us to Luoyang."
"Luoyang? Isn't it Xudu or Yecheng?",
The Bu trainer was surprised.
Sun Quan gave up and said, "No, let's go to Luoyang first. Luoyang, something big is going to happen."
