A pirate ship, containing 100 elite sailors, plus carefully disguised Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Tai Shici, as well as Cheng Gongying, Wen Xing and Jubei, a total of one lord, two ministers, four generals and 100 soldiers.Carrying a box of mixed gold and silver, a box of cotton silk, and a box of sea fish and salted fish, it sailed straight towards the waters of Jiangdong.And the golden flying dragon embroidered on the flag fluttering in the wind on the bow of the ship is even more dazzling, and Zhao Yu named this team of pirates "Turning the River Jiao".Jiangdong, as early as after the news of the marriage between the county lord of the Sun family and Liu Bei went out, the entire Jiangdong was boiling.Some big families have not paid attention to Sun Shangxiang, the monarch of the Sun family, if they can be in-laws with the Sun family in Jiangdong, then the future glory and wealth are unknown.Who knows how many people are wishful thinking, but Sun Quan married his own sister to Liu Bei, who claims to be the emperor's uncle today, although Uncle Liu Huang's light ratio is larger, but this makes some people unbearable.After all, Lord Sun is a young man like a flower season, and Liu Bei is already a bad old man who is over half a hundred years old.After this proposal was issued before, many people in Jiangdong opposed it, but some people strongly agreed.These people are none other than Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Wu Guotai Qiao Guolao, who are in charge of Jiangdong.This Wu Guotai is the mother of Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, and this Qiao Guolao is the father of Xiao Qiao, that is, the father-in-law of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.In the romance, in order to suppress Liu Bei, Zhou Yu offered a plan to Sun Quan, using Sun Shangxiang as a bait, pretending to marry Liu Bei, and luring Liu Bei to get rid of Liu Bei when he entered Jiangdong to marry.This is a bridge that Zhao Yu knows, especially the interesting story of losing his wife and losing his soldiers.However, to Zhao Yu's surprise, this time Zhou Yu proposed to Sun Quan to use Sun Shangxiang as a chess piece, and the marriage to Liu Bei was to consolidate the alliance between the two armies.When Liu Bei received the information of Jiangdong's marriage, he was very suspicious, so he asked Zhuge Liang on the side: "Military advisor, this time Sun Quan suddenly sent a letter, wanting his sister Sun County Lord to marry me.According to my count, the lord of Sun County is ten years old, and he is at the age of the flower season, and I am more than fifty years old this year, how can this Sun Quan be reluctant, do you say there will be fraud in this" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "This Shu Kongming can't guess the thoughts of the Sun family, or this is Jiangdong Zhou Yu's trick." ”"What the military advisor means is that I should refuse this marriage," Liu Bei doubted."
By all means, although Kong Ming doesn't know what Jiangdong meant by suddenly sending this family affair for the time being, Kong Ming knows that if the lord refuses, it will definitely not be conducive to the alliance between our two armies."
Zhuge Liang paused and then said: "Especially now that our army has just won the four counties in Jingzhou, and it has stabilized its foothold a little, it is urgent to strengthen the alliance around it at this moment, Sun Quan married his sister to the lord, which is beneficial and harmless to the lord."
Once the two armies successfully married, the lord not only had the solid backing of Jiangdong, but also married a beautiful county lord, so why not do it. ”"Then what if they have any conspiracy," Liu Bei said worriedly."
Kong Ming has a plan to get rid of the worries in the lord's heart."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.Liu Bei said anxiously: "The military advisor must not sell the guanzi, quickly talk to me." ”Zhuge Liang said bluntly: "The lord can bring hundreds of people with him when he goes to Jiangdong this time, and he will take his cronies to Nanxu to find Qiao Guolao, and inform the lord of marrying the county lord."
As for the hundreds of soldiers who could be scattered in the city to purchase supplies, and publicize in the city that the lord would marry the county lord, it was best to let every household in the city know about it, so that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu would not dare to resort to any conspiracy they wanted. ”After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately said with a happy face: "This plan of the military advisor is really a clever plan. ”After everything was in order, Liu Bei led a small number of elite soldiers to Guan Yu and Chen to Jiangdong together, and as soon as they entered the Jiangdong territory, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was Chen Zhi led a hundred people to the market to purchase materials for marriage, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu went to visit the old man of Qiao in Nanxu.But he didn't want Qiao Guolao to have heard about it, and he was even happier when he saw Liu Bei coming to visit, and praised Liu Bei well, and decided to go with Liu Bei to see Sun Quan.When Liu Bei and Chen arrived together, they went to Sun Quan with the collected supplies, where they met Wu Guotai.didn't wait for Liu Bei to visit Wu Guotai, but Qiao Guolao on the side took the first step to congratulate Wu Guotai and said: "Xuande has the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and the watch of the sky; It is also benevolent and virtuous in the world; Guotai has this good son-in-law, which is really celebrated. ”When Qiao Guolao spoke, he couldn't help but stand on Wu Guotai's side, pursed his beard and looked at Liu Bei from afar, nodding in approval.As the most powerful heroine in Jiangdong, Wu Guotai was also relieved to hear Qiao Guolao praise his future son-in-law so much.Especially from Qiao Guolao's mouth, she could hear that the other party was praising Liu Bei for having the appearance of an emperor and a reputation for benevolence and virtue, and choosing such a man who has the capital to be called the king and the emperor as his son-in-law is the best choice from the perspective of the long-term interests of the family.Wu Guotai is not an ordinary character, as the wife of Sun Jian, a hero in the late Han Dynasty, and as the mother of Sun Ce, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan, a generation of male lords, he naturally understands what political investment is, and what kind of son-in-law can bring the greatest benefits to the family.At this moment, in her eyes, although her beloved daughter Sun Shangxiang is far from Liu Bei's age, this age gap is nothing for Liu Bei's identity and Sun Shangxiang's status in the future.Wu Guo was overjoyed at the moment: "Okay, I have identified this son-in-law."
A few days later will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, and that day will be the time of your wedding to Shang Xiang.In the past few days, let my son be responsible for entertaining Xuande, and let Xuande take this opportunity to visit the beautiful scenery of my Jiangdong. ”"Then thank you very much, son-in-law."
Due to the urgency of time, Jiangdong began to be nervous and busy, except for Sun Quan and several important ministers who were responsible for accompanying Liu Bei to visit Jiangcheng every day, the rest of them began to prepare in an orderly manner.In the past few days, all kinds of invitations have also been sent, and those who have received invitations have also come to Jiangdong one after another, one to congratulate the great joy of the Sun family in Jiangdong, and the second to congratulate the great Han Uncle Liu Huang to marry the county lord.Although the whole thing looks the same, they are two different people, so the second congratulations are indispensable.However, when accepting the arrival of those guests, Jiangdong was also secretly arranged, for fear that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble, after all, this is related to Jiangdong's reputation.On the rivers and seas, Ling Tong has been in charge of patrolling the sea in recent days.The sea had been calm all along, and suddenly, a large ship caught his attention.If it was normal times, Ling Tong wouldn't care much about it, but now it was a big day in Jiangdong, and Ling Tong didn't dare to make any mistakes.In particular, the sea flag hanging on the big ship is a flying dragon pattern, and this preliminary judgment can locate a non-military battle flag, which is estimated to be an ordinary pirate battle flag.If it was changed to the military battle flags of other princes, there would inevitably be a trace of panic, but seeing that most of the other party were pirate battle flags, Ling Tong was relieved, how could the regular navy of Jiangdong be afraid of this little pirate.However, what puzzled Ling Tong was that this pirate was afraid of their regular army, and he was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw it on weekdays, so why did he dare to swagger in everyone's field of vision this time.The more Ling Tong thought about it, the more strange he felt, and immediately commanded the warship to approach, stood on top of the boat gang, and shouted at him: "Stop, what are you doing, this is my Jiangdong Sea, if you dare to take a step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”The man didn't show a nervous look in the face of Ling Tong's shouting, but stood on the boat gang to greet Ling Tong and bowed his hand and said: "This military master must not be angry, in Xia Zhao Feihu, he is a pirate brother in the nearby coastal waters, and this time I heard that Jiangdong Sun Taishou is celebrating a big day."
We respect the heroes of the Sun family in Jiangdong, so we came to walk the waterway to give a small gift to Sun Taishou, and I hope that this military master can be accommodating. ”This person who claimed to be Zhao Feihu was none other than Zhao Yu, the king of Zhao today, the moment he saw Ling Tong, Zhao Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but Zhao Yu was carefully disguised, so that Ling Tong could not recognize himself."
You pirates are here to congratulate me, don't you want to deceive me."
It is not uncommon for pirates to give gifts to the regular army, but it is rare.This time, the other party came to approach under the guise of coming to congratulate his lord on his family's affairs, and Ling Tong didn't pay attention to it for a while, but just wondered."
We turn over the river Jiao just respect the Sun family Yingjie, has always wanted to visit but suffer from no opportunity, this time I heard about the Sun family's happy event, so I came to congratulate him, and I hope the general will not refuse.If this military master does not believe me, he can send a sergeant to my ship to search, and I only brought a congratulatory gift and some short soldiers for self-defense this time, and the rest of the weapons were not carried. ”Zhao Yu is not a fool, more than 100 people come to Jiangdong empty-handed, it is not safe, but if they carry weapons, they are afraid that the Jiangdong Navy will find out, so they only wear short soldiers, and those long soldiers are all hidden at the bottom of the boat."
Well, for the sake of security, the search is inevitable, and I hope you don't have to be surprised, as long as everything is true, I will personally escort you into the city."
After Ling Tong finished speaking, he waved his hand at a pair of soldiers behind him, and the soldiers led a group of men and horses to pick up a long ladder between the two boats, and a group of more than ten people walked towards Zhao Yu's boat opposite with spears in hand.After a careful search, nothing suspicious was found, and as for the congratulatory gift, it was also carefully inquired and confirmed that it was correct, and then everyone returned it.For this reason, Ling Tong bowed to everyone and said, "If you offend just now, I hope you don't take it to heart, we are all acting according to orders."
Since you have come to rejoice in my Lord, please come with me. ”After speaking, Ling Tongyi beckoned, and said to the boatmen behind him: "Sail back to the city." ”:
