Chapter 24: The Blessed and Blessed

More than a hundred soldiers were sent out of the city barracks when they put on dry or a little wet clothes. After all, they could not be allowed to wear Taiping Army clothes, right?

Release these hundred soldiers and Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Guo Jia gave Liu Bei and Sun Quan a favor. {" }

Killing these more than a hundred people was irrelevant to Liu Bei, but letting go was a kindness.

Even if Zhuge Liang and Lu Su are unwilling to serve Guo Jia, house arrest seems to be a good choice.

But Guo Jia still had the intention to let them go. Lu Su was forced to let go. Before the war with Jiangdong was time to go to war. Releasing Zhuge Liang was considered to let Liu Bei continue to be Guo Jia's pawn.

When he left the city and walked towards the riverside, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong walked side by side. Lu Su had long been famous for the Wolong and Feng Chu. I guess this pair of brothers wanted to reminisce about the past, so they did not disturb them. They took the lead and distanced themselves from them.

It's cold and the north wind is blowing.

Zhuge Liang never thought that when he saw Pang Tong again, he would be in such a situation.

Ten years ago, Pang Tong went alone to Chang'an to follow Guo Jia.

Ten years later, the fact that Pang Tong was led by Guo Jia to go to war with the army has shown Pang Tong's status in the Guo Jia group.

Zhuge Liang hugged his knees and chanted for more than ten years, and waited for Uncle Liu who visited the cottage three times. So what if?

The clothes are fluttering, Pang Tong has an ugly face, but his aura is not vulgar, and he has extraordinary majesty in his indifferent and steady state.

"Kong Ming, where did Fu Long, who was comparing himself with wind music back then?"

Pang Tong's tone was cold, not necessarily a mockery, and he sighed that things were different.

Jingzhou, ten years after apart!

Pang Tong had been looking forward to the arrival of this day for a long time ago.

He is back!

Where have the famous scholars of Jingxiang who chanted the wind and the moon gone?

Escape, surrender, and get married!

And Pang Tong, who is alive and has a high position and a powerful position, who dares to underestimate him?

Zhuge Liang laughed at himself.

Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi. Did Liu Bei have the prestige of Duke Huan of Qi's troops and cities? No! Then he is not as good as Guan Zhong!

Le Yi helped Yan State recover more than 70 cities in a row! Did Liu Bei have troops to let Zhuge Liang kill all directions and sweep the world? No! Then Zhuge Liang is not as good as Le Yi!

"Did Shi Yuan forget the result of the Chu-Han dispute?"

Zhuge Liang said softly.

Pang Tong laughed loudly and echoed for a long time.

"Kongming, if you compare my lord to a king and Liu Bei to Emperor Gaozu, then you are a hundred times more arrogant than you did in the past! Today, it is still unknown who will win. But I know that Liu Bei will never have the opportunity to rise, and there is no other place in the world."

Zhuge Liang is not able to be free now. Last year, he was a couple in Longzhong. He expected Guo Jia to focus his strategic focus on the north, but he was wrong. One son lost all the money. Liu Bei wanted to seize Jingzhou and enter Sichuan and Sichuan, which turned into a mirror.

Walking silently to the riverside, Lu Su and more than a hundred soldiers had already boarded the ship. Before parting, Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang with a faint look and said softly: "Kongming, although I look down on your arrogance and hypocrisy, I must admit your talents. My Lord appreciates you, this is your opportunity. Listen to me and come to serve my Lord. Within ten years, the world will be determined. At that time, you were in your prime and there were countless times for you to learn. With ten, twenty, and thirty years, assisting my Lord to create a prosperous era, which is enough to be famous throughout the ages and be remembered forever."

Zhuge Liang stared at Pang Tong, and the other party looked calm. He raised his lips and smiled bitterly, and turned around and walked towards the boat.

The river was surging, and the ships were descending down the water. Pang Tong, who was standing on the shore, was getting farther away. Zhuge Liang held his head and closed his eyes, and his handsome face was full of determination.

Perhaps, in this world, Guo Jia will be better than any hero in this world.

Calm down, his heart was as stagnant as water. Zhuge Liang's thinking jumped out of the room and was suddenly shocked.

Looking at Jiangling City, which was beginning to be hazy and ethereal in his sight, Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed at the sky.

All the world was deceived by Guo Jia!

Destroy Cao?!

As he went straight down the river, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su parted ways. Zhuge Liang could not take out the 100,000 arrows he had agreed to, so he stopped thinking about going to Jiangdong to seek help. Besides, Jiangdong did not dare to go to war with Guo Jia now, and Zhuge Liang did not want to do useless work anymore.

After Lu Su returned to the Red Cliff Camp, he met Sun Quan in a mess.

He informed Sun Quan and Zhou Yu about the previous incidents one by one. At this moment, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were both shocked.

Zhou Yu even asked Lu Su incredibly: "Zijing, Zhuge Kongming is smart and borrowing arrows with a straw boat. Why are you joining in the fun? Now, you were captured by Guo Jia and sent back. This is like Guo Jia slapped his lord in the face!"

Lu Su was ashamed and repeatedly accused him of crimes.

Sun Quan's face was slightly angry, and Zhou Yu's words sounded bad, but that's right.

While Jiangdong was friendly with Guo Jia, he also let Guo Jia seize the handle of the alliance with Liu Bei to fight him.

Guo Jia did not use Lu Su to provoke the army, but instead released him. Isn’t this just a loud slap in the face?

Sun Quan sighed heavily.

Lu Su's original intention must be for Jiangdong, to see what conspiracy Zhuge Liang had, but unexpectedly he lost himself.

The road is already done, and things are final, and it will be useless to blame.

By chance, Lu Su was not considered a return without success, so he at least brought back a piece of news.

"You are the lord, I learned about it in Jiangling that the garrison of Changsha County has openly submitted to Guo Jia!"

As soon as Lu Su finished speaking, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were shocked again.

They don’t know who Wei Yan is and don’t care.

The key is Wei Yan’s identity!

The guard of Changsha!

If you want to be a shrimp soldier and a crab general, it doesn’t matter whether you surrender or not, but how can a person who can be personally received by Guo Jia be a small person?

Lu Su can conclude that Wei Yan's submission to Guo Jia will inevitably affect the fate of the entire Changsha.

Sun Quan closed his eyes and said nothing.

Guo Jia wanted to drive Liu Bei out of Jingzhou, but Liu Bei could not stop him even if he fought to the death. According to Liu Bei's previous style, he would definitely run away. Where should he escape?

Guo Jia took over Jiangxia and conquered Changsha again, which directly threatened Jiangdong!

At this time, Sun Quan suddenly opened his eyes, and his clear eyes burst into unquestionable determination.

"Zijing, I will write a letter to Guo Jia for me. I intend to marry my sister to him. The two families will form a love between Qin and Jin, and live in peace."

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other and saw each other's shock.

"Lord, Guo Jia has many wives and concubines, and he is nearly 40 years old, this..."

Lu Su said embarrassedly.

The reason is very simple. Sun Quan's sister married Guo Jia and became a concubine. The age gap is negligible. Politicians only consider political interests. Even if Guo Jia is seventy-eighty, Sun Quan will not hesitate.

The key point is the weight of this marriage!

"Hey, Zijing, I agree with the lord. If Guo Jia refuses, then I, Jiangdong, can draw a clear line with him on this ground. The previous alliance will be abolished and will be attacked by Guo Jia when he was expeditioning Cao Wei. If Guo Jia agrees, he will ask Guo Jia to go to Jianye to marry a lady himself. If he can kill him, he will kill him. If not, the two families will marry each other. At least Guo Jia cannot ignore this relationship and have bad intentions towards Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu firmly supports Sun Quan and Guo Jia's marriage.

As for the personal happiness of Sun Shangxiang, the youngest sister of the Sun family, no one cares about it.

"Kill? If Guo Jia is in Jiangdong, what's wrong with him? The Taiping Army is still crazy and striking Jiangdong?"

Lu Su recognized Zhou Yu's views 80% of them, but said that he did not agree with killing Guo Jia, which was too risky!

Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said, "Even if Guo Jia's soldiers in Jiangling want to avenge him and come to Jiangdong regardless of everything, Zijing should not forget that there is still Cao Ren's army of 100,000 Cao Ren! When the Taiping Army in Jiangling moves, will Cao Ren miss this God-given opportunity? Together with our Jiangdong and Cao Ren's 100,000 troops, the Taiping Army's more than 100,000 troops in Jingzhou will definitely be wiped out!"

The words are good, and they sound reasonable.

But after thinking about it, Lu Su couldn't see where Jiangdong's interests were. He offended Guo Jia, and Jingzhou would still be Cao Wei, and Jiangdong would work hard for others for a long time.

Zhou Yu then said: "If the situation really develops like this, the Taiping Army in Yizhou, Guanzhong, Liangzhou will definitely set off a life-and-death battle with Cao Wei, and I, Jiangdong, can take the opportunity to rest and sweep Jingzhou first after the war is settled, then enter Sichuan and Sichuan, and unify the south."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up. He wanted to get Guo Jia through marriage before, but he didn't think so much. He just wanted to use such a relationship to exchange for Jiangdong's preservation. Now, after Zhou Yu said that, it seems that this strategy is feasible and has great potential benefits.

Lu Su still disagrees.

After all, this is Zhou Yu's wishful thinking, and the variables are too big.

What if Cao Wei does not send troops?

Now I don’t know what kind of changes happened to Cao Cao after Cao Cao’s death.

However, Sun Quan had made up his mind, whether he killed Guo Jia or not, he had to do the marriage first.

After Jiangdong's letter arrived in Jiangling, Guo Jia was frightened.

Is it still a good fortune to come to my house at this age?

When the military generals in Jiangling heard that Sun Quan wanted to marry his sister to Guo Jia, they immediately laughed and talked.

"Master, Sun Quan wants to give a sister to the lord, and he will give it to him. The lord just accept it. But if it is an ugly monster, then go back." After Xu Chu said that, he burst into laughter.

But Gan Ning made an objection.

"Lord, Sun Quan is not kind. If the lord marry Sun Quan's sister, wouldn't the lord become Sun Quan's brother-in-law? How can this be done? Sun Quan respects him too much, and he will oppose this matter."

As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, the military generals around him came to their senses.
