Chapter 185 The Death of Zhou Yu (7)
After living in Chaisang for several days, Lu Su felt like he was living like a year! Fortunately, he could chat with Zhou Yu to pass the time. He was talking to Zhou Yu about the battle in Hefei, and he would give him a detailed reward:
"The flags are raised in Jiangxia City to do funerals, and new tombs are built outside the city, and the soldiers are filial to each other."
The death of the dead must be extraordinary if he could alarm Liu Bei's military funeral. Zhou Yu was also surprised and asked quickly:
"Who died?"
He replied in detail: "Liu Bei's Mrs. Gan died of illness, and a funeral will be arranged today."
Zhou Yu pondered for a while, then said to Lu Su:
"My plan is done! You can let Liu Bei tie his hands up and tie it up, and Jiangjun can get it back!"
When Lu Su saw that Zhou Yu had made a plan to relieve his responsibilities, he asked happily:
"The plan will be released?"
Zhou Yu replied:
"Liu Bei lost his wife and will definitely marry him again. The lord has a sister named Sun Shangxiang. She is extremely brave and has successfully practiced the sword technique he passed down from family. He trained hundreds of maids, and everyone is in ordinary people with swords. The sword skills are extraordinary. The military weapons in the room are full of men. Although men are not as good as possible. I am writing to the lord today to teach people to go to Jingzhou to be a matchmaker, and persuade Liu Bei to come to Jiangdong to marry. After Liu Bei came to Jiangdong, his wife could not be caught. The prisoner was imprisoned in prison, but he sent someone to fight against Jiangling for Liu Bei. When he handed over the Jiangling city, Zhuge Liang wanted to raise an army to retaliate, and I would have to resist it. Yu Zijing no longer had to take any more responsibility!
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were sworn brothers. They used to be as close as a family and often lived in Sun Ce's house. He knew Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang very well. She was not a good-looking lamp!
Sun Quan wanted to choose a family in Jiangdong for Sun Shangxiang, but her vision was too high. None of the outstanding children of the Jiangdong family had 800, but none of them could catch her eyes!
Sun Shangxiang often says, "I will not marry unless the heroes of the world!" Therefore, now there are twenty-three, but I have not found my husband's family yet. Her mother, Mrs. Wu, is very anxious! For Sun Quan, it has also become a difficult problem.
Although Lu Su had heard of Sun Shangxiang's incident, he knew that Zhou Yu used Sun Quan's sister to implement the beauty plan, and the risk was still quite large!
This is a risk for himself, and Lu Su is very grateful to Zhou Yu in his heart.
Zhou Yu wrote the book and handed over the imperial edict of Cao Cao as the prefect of Jiangling to Lu Su to present Sun Quan, and chose the Clippers to send him to Jianye.
After Lu Su returned to Jianye, he went to see Sun Quan without stopping and presented the imperial edict that Zhou Yu asked him to bring.
After reading this imperial edict, Sun Quan's expression remained unchanged, but he was already very dissatisfied with Zhou Yu!
Because Sun Quan already knew that the envoy had handed over the imperial edict to Zhou Yu, and he only asked Lu Su to bring it back today. It would be impossible to say that Zhou Yu had no idea!
Sun Quan suppressed his anger and then asked about asking for Jiangling. Lu Su nervously submitted Liu Bei's loan note document.
Sun Quan had never thought of taking Jiangling back, especially after knowing that Cao Cao appointed Zhou Yu as the prefect of Jiangling, he was even afraid that Lu Su would take Jiangling back!
Once Liu Bei returned Jiangling to Sun Quan, then Zhou Yu had the imperial edict of Jiangling prefect, and Sun Quan could not resist the imperial edict. He had to let Zhou Yu take office in Jiangling, which was equivalent to losing control of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu entered Jiangling, and even if he was willing to stay under Sun Quan, he would definitely not get along well with Liu Bei. Once Zhou Yu and Liu Bei started a war, it would be very difficult for Sun Quan to be a human being!
The defeat in Hefei this time had a great impact on Sun Quan's mentality. He knew the irreparable gap between him and Cao Cao, and he had no confidence to compete with Cao Cao alone!
Once Zhou Yu and Liu Bei have a falling out, if Sun Quan wants to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance, he must withdraw Zhou Yu. However, if Zhou Yu still listens to the orders, it will be a different story. There will be any unpredictable consequences, and Sun Quan dare not think about it!
When Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Su bringing back the loan documents, he was very happy, but his face looked a little ugly. He just pushed the blame to Lu Su and blamed him:
"Zijing, why are you so confused? What's the use of such a document?"
Before Sun Quan got angry, Lu Su felt guilty. After being blamed by Sun Quan, he calmly took it down and replied calmly:
"Lord, Jiangling is the hub of Jingzhou. If Liu Bei wants to firmly sit in Jingzhou and grow, he will definitely not be able to return it easily! He was able to write a loan document, which has expressed the sincerity of his allies. The lord has 81 prefectures in Jiangdong and the vast space for development to Jiaozhou and Xuzhou. In fact, there is no need to care about the land of Jiangling county! In fact, the stronger Liu Bei's strength is, it is also beneficial to the lord."
Although Sun Quan agreed with Lu Su's statement in his heart, he still said unhappily:
"Zi Jing, even though that's the case, I can't let others snore on the side of the bed! Moreover, I attacked Jiangling in Jiangdong, consuming food and grass, and damaging my troops, but I made a wedding dress for Liu Bei. If you can swallow this tone, Zhou Yu will definitely not be able to swallow it. You can't pass his hurdle!"
When Lu Su heard Sun Quan's tone, he knew that Sun Quan would not hold him responsible again. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out Zhou Yu's official document and submitted it to Sun Quan, and complimented:
"The lord is really aware of the situation! Governor Zhou is indeed very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's failure to return Jiangling. He has submitted his official documents here and has made a clever plan, saying that using this plan can lead to Jiangling."
After reading Zhou Yu's book, the anger on his face flashed, and immediately returned to normal, falling into deep thought!
The proposal to marry Sun Quan’s sister to Liu Bei was nothing wrong with this proposal. Political marriages at that time were very common.
Even Cao Cao was not immune to the common people. During the Battle of Guandu, he was afraid that Sun Ce would attack his retreat and take the initiative to marry the Sun family.
Cao Cao used his younger brother's daughter to marry Sun Cec's fourth brother Sun Kuang, and issued a conscript order for Sun Cec's younger brother Sun Quan and Sun Yi to go to Xudu.
Sun Quan's serious official status was obtained at that time.
The problem is that Zhou Yu used his sister to implement the beauty trick, and in the end he wanted to get Jiangling and was preparing to imprison Liu Bei.
In order to be the prefect of Jiangling, he was so treacherous that he had no bottom line and did not care about Sun Quan's face at all, which made Sun Quan's vigilance towards Zhou Yu a little more!
Sun Quan originally wanted to completely reject Zhou Yu's plan, but then he thought that his sister Sun Shangxiang had already passed the best age to get married. Although Liu Bei was a little older, he might not be a good match.
Moreover, Liu Bei is a famous hero all over the world. This time, my sister has no way to refuse, so she can let her mother, Mrs. Wu, let go of this heart disease.
Sun Quan instantly understood that Zhou Yu's plan was really a good idea to marry this uneasy sister out!
But he did not want to act according to Zhou Yu's original ideas. His purpose was not to bring Jiangling County back, but to find a perfect husband for his sister.
Sun Quan's face was unstable. He used the beauty trick to imprison Liu Bei and then exchanged for generous benefits. He was also moved. If Liu Bei's subordinates could surrender to him, it would naturally be a great thing!
Sun Quan’s pattern is not comparable to Zhou Yu. What he wants is not a small Jiangling County, but the entire nine counties of Jingzhou!
But Sun Quan would not be wishful thinking. The result of his deduction was that it was basically unlikely to exchange Liu Bei for Jingzhou!
After imprisoning Liu Bei, the biggest possibility is that his subordinates brazenly went to war with Jiangdong, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao and attacked Jiangdong together!
In this way, Sun Quan not only won’t get Jingzhou, but also had to bear the reputation of being betrayal! What’s even more terrifying is that it caused anger and the six counties in Jiangdong are unable to protect them!
Thinking of these serious consequences, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel scared. He had already decided in his heart that he would never listen to Zhou Yu's idea and imprison Liu Bei to exchange Jiangling!
But marrying her sister to Liu Bei is a good idea, and she can tie Liu Bei and Jiangdong together!
Sun Quan understood in his heart that Zhou Yu was eager to get Jiangling back because he wanted to be the legal Jiangling general prefect, who could block Liu Bei's throat and might even be in the position of governor of Jingzhou.
