Chapter 425 Flooded Seven Armies (3)
Sun Quan agreed with Gu Yong's opinion and turned his attention to Zhuge Jin, who had always advocated joining Liu to resist Cao.
Although Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are brothers, they are their own masters and never abolish the public for personal gain. His loyalty to Sun Quan is beyond doubt.
But because Zhuge Liang was an important official under Liu Bei, he certainly hoped that Sun Quan would make good friends with Liu Bei, so as not to meet their brothers on the battlefield.
Zhuge Jin was broad-minded, gentle and honest, and was deeply trusted by Sun Quan, and was called "Divine Friendship".
After seeing Sun Quan's gaze, he understood it and knew that Sun Quan wanted him to go to Xiangyang, but he had no suitable excuses.
Zhuge Jin felt a little moved, and immediately had an idea, stood up and said:
"Lord, the last time I went to Jingzhou, I heard that General Guan Yu had not yet gotten married before he arrived in Jingzhou. After arriving in Jingzhou, Liu Bei married his wife, a son and a second daughter. His daughter was still young and had no one to be a man. I am willing to go to Xiangyang to propose to the prince's prince. If Guan Yu is willing to agree to this marriage, it means that he attaches great importance to the relationship between the two parties and can plan to defeat Cao Cao together with Yun Chang. If Guan Yu refuses to marry a daughter, it means that he is resentful about the lord's attack on Jingnan. Sooner or later, he may consider turning to Cao Cao and then discussing the capture of Jingzhou."
After listening to Zhuge Jin's suggestion, Sun Quan thought about it carefully and thought that Zhu was a good idea. It can be said that he was a relative of his relatives and killed two birds with one stone. If he succeeded, he would have solved a problem for him!
Because after Sun Quan brought Sun Shangxiang back, although he did not cause trouble for him, he could not stand it!
In the past, Sun Shangxiang was so cute that she would always have a quarrel with herself and do something harmless and incredible.
But since returning to Jingzhou with Liu Bei and back to Jiangdong again, it was like a different person.
Not only did he serve his mother with all his heart, but he also became obedient, which was very favored by his mother, and his body became much better all of a sudden.
And Sun Shangxiang is also very respectful to her brother!
But Sun Quan just couldn't stand Sun Shangxiang's resentful eyes and the dissatisfaction hidden deep in his eyes!
Sun Quan knew that it was Sun Shangxiang's silent protest, and he must have missed his husband Liu Bei in his heart.
Liu Bei's strength is not weaker than himself now. If he could get along well with each other, Sun Quan would not mind that the couple would reunite.
But Liu Bei did not take the initiative to propose that if Sun Shangxiang was asked to go back by himself, Sun Quan would really not be able to lose face!
If Guan Yu agreed to marry him this time, it would be more kinship. Not only would the threat from Jingzhou to Jiangdong be minimized, but the relationship with Liu Bei could also be further eased.
The most important thing is that Sun Quan could use the name of winning lottery to let Sun Shangxiang go to Jingzhou as his in-laws family, then return home without any trace, and then enter Xichuan to reunite with Liu Bei.
So, Sun Quan first sent Man Chong back to Xudu, and then sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to join Jingzhou.
Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's biological brother, and Zhuge Liang gets along very well with Guan Yu. When the general guarding the city saw that Zhuge Jin was visiting, he hurriedly invited him to enter the city and meet Guan Yu. After both sides were greeted, Guan Yu asked:
"What's the point of Ziyu's coming from?"
Zhuge Jin was not polite and replied directly:
"I'm here to make a good relationship between the two families."
I heard that Zhuge Jin was coming to be a mediator, and it seemed that he was still the protagonist. Guan Yu was also quite surprised, so he asked:
"Tiyu, who are you proposing for?"
Zhuge Jin tidied up his clothes, stood up and said:
"My lord, Wu, has a son, who is very smart. When I heard that the general had a daughter, he had not yet agreed to anyone, I came to propose marriage. The two families got along and worked hard to defeat Cao. This is a wonderful thing, so please think of General Guan."
It’s not that Guan Yu is not incompatible with the world, but also thinks that his daughter marrying Sun Quan’s son is a match.
But because Sun Quan used his trick, he privately wanted to take his sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun and nephew back to Jiangdong.
Although Liu Chan was intercepted by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, who was equivalent to the commander of Jingzhou, felt very embarrassed.
Guan Yu was acquainted with the world and advocated agitation for revenge. Therefore, after Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun marched into Xichuan together, Guan Yu had never had a good face to Jiangdong and often raised troubles on the border.
Lu Su suffered a lot, but because he wanted to maintain the overall situation of the Sun-Liu alliance to fight against Cao, he was always tolerant, which encouraged Guan Yu's arrogance.
If it were before Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong privately, Guan Yu would rather marry Sun Quan. After all, Sun Quan was also the overlord of the side, and that was a role on an equal footing with his elder brother Liu Bei.
If Sun Quan had not attacked Jingnan, Guan Yu might not have flatly refused the marriage, at least he would have given the decision to Liu Bei.
Although the Xiang River demarcation was later formed under the leadership of Liu Bei, for Guan Yu, losing Jingnan from his own hands was a thorn in his heart.
Guan Yu had a very high opinion of himself. When he mentioned Sun Quan in Jiangdong, he would think of the fact that Jingnan was attacked by Lu Meng. He missed a move and felt a slight pain in his heart.
Now Zhuge Jin asked Guan Yu to marry his daughter to Sun Quan. In the eyes of those who don’t know the inside story, Guan Yu is just trying to cling to the dragon and the phoenix, currying Sun Quan, selling his daughter to seek peace, and having the intention of marrying a marriage.
Guan Yu has been in the world for many years, and what he cares most about is loyalty and face. Now that he is married to a daughter, Guan Yu's face is gone, how can he agree?
After hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Guan Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, but his face became increasingly ugly.
At first, it was red and purple, and then it turned black, which made Zhuge Jin very surprised. Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard Guan Yu let out a nearly roaring voice:
"Why is my tiger girl willing to marry a dog son? Zhuge Ziyu, you are insulting my personality. If you don't look at your brother Zhuge Liang's face, I will immediately make someone beat you up!"
Zhuge Jin is really a bit inexplicable!
He knew that Guan Yu had so many twists and turns in his heart, it was just a political marriage. He thought that even if you, Guan Yu, were unwilling to marry your daughter to Sun Quan, there was no need to be so angry! He also wanted to open his mouth to ask why.
These thoughts in Guan Yu's mind are naturally not worthy of being told by outsiders, and he has no way to explain them to Zhuge Jin.
But with his personality, it is normal even if he doesn't explain it. However, he dared not take Zhuge Jin too much, so he raised his hand to stop Zhuge Jin from asking questions and said:
"Stop talking more!"
So he called Guan Ping to see him off instead of him, but he himself didn't care about the etiquette and went directly to the backyard.
Guan Yu came to the yard where he practiced martial arts with a angrily voice, swung his big fist, and bombarded the sandbags in anger to vent his anger.
At the beginning, Guan Yu vented consciously, but later it turned into an instinctive movement of the body, entering a strange state of emptiness and light, which lasted for about a cup of tea.
This state of emptiness and brightness is of great benefit to Guan Yu's martial arts. Guan Yu, who was nearly 60 years old and had already begun to decline in martial arts, once again broke through the limits of his body and became a true top master.
