    After Wu Guotai heard this, she pondered deeply. She also heard a thing or two about Cao Cao's millions of troops and his tigers occupying the Central Plains.  Wu Guotai thought to himself that although Jiangdong was well-equipped with troops, Cao Cao had millions of troops. If he really attacked Jingzhou in the future and his troops approached the border, how could Soochow resist?  Then Wu Guotai thought that her daughter was arrogant and arrogant. Countless talents from Jiangdong came to plead for mercy, but no one took her seriously and they all refused.  A man should marry a girl, and Sun Shangxiang's life-long events have always been her worry.  Wu Guotai was full of thoughts for a while, his anger subsided slightly, and he spoke to Qiao Guolao.

    "If we were equal wives, we wouldn't be a disgrace to my daughter. But this matter requires Cao Mengde's consent."

    "Haha. Madam, don't worry too much. I have my own plan for Cao Mengde. But for now, Madam still needs to convince my son-in-law to make it happen."

    After hearing the words, Wu Guotai pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.  After the two elders discussed for a while, Wu Guotai summoned Sun Ce to see him.  After a while, Sun Quan went into the back hall to see Wu Guotai.  Wu Guotai suddenly beat his chest and cried loudly. Sun Ce was so worried that he didn't know what to do and asked quickly.

    "Why is mother worried? If your child has shortcomings, feel free to scold him, but don't get angry and hurt yourself!"

    Wu Guotai glared at Sun Ce and shouted angrily.

    "You don't have to show off here, you have always regarded me as nothing! I ask you, do you still remember what I told you when my sister was in danger!!!?"

    Sun Ce was startled and quickly knelt down and worshiped.

    "How dare you forget, my child! My mother said that serving Er Niang is like your own mother! You must not be arrogant in the slightest! Mother has said it clearly, why bother?" When Wu Guotai saw this, he stopped crying and shouted.

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you, the King of Wei recently intended to marry me, Soochow, is this possible?¡±

    Sun Ce was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Wu Guotai regarded Sun Shangxiang as the apple of his eye and could not hide it, so he hurriedly paid his respects.

    "It is true. However, the old thief wants to take my sister as his concubine. The two of them are not in the same seniority and age, and their position as concubine is really humiliating to my sister, so I refuse."

    Wu Guotai heard this and scolded.

    "I am your mother, and this matter is a matter of your sister's life, so you should leave it to me."

    Sun Ce and even filial piety people dare not make mistakes and just admit their mistakes.  Mr. Qiao Guotai, who was standing by, also tried to persuade Wu Guotai to calm down.  Qiao Guolao said immediately.

    "Xiang'er's eyes are as high as the top. There are so many talented people in Jiangdong, but no one can catch her eye. She is a daughter of a family, and she will eventually marry into a woman. Cao Cao has power in the government and the public. Although he does not have the title of Nine-Five, he has Nine-Five.  Among all the heroes in the world, Xiang'er is definitely willing to marry Cao Cao. What's more, if the Sun and Cao families can marry, it will be a huge benefit to Soochow.  No harm done. I have been discussing with my wife for a while, and she said that if Cao Cao is willing to marry Xiang'er, I would like to agree to the marriage. "

    After Qiao Guolao said this, Sun Ce secretly looked at his mother and saw Wu Guotai glaring at him. Sun Ce complained secretly, but in the end he did not dare to disobey Wu Guotai and agreed to the matter.

    "It's the mother's will. How dare the child disobey it! The child will summon Liu Ye to the court to discuss the matter with him."

    When Wu Guotai heard this, he smiled happily and ordered Sun Ce to handle the matter well and not to ruin the marriage.  Sun Ce agreed repeatedly until he left the back hall.

    That night, Sun Ce summoned Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other advisers to discuss the matter. Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Ce had a look of reluctance on his face, so he said to Sun Ce.

    "My lord, how do you compare to Yuan Shao, the great hero of Hebei in the past? Yuan Shao was sitting in the three states of Qing, Hebei and You, and had more than 600,000 to 700,000 soldiers. At that time, Cao Cao had only a few soldiers, but he was still able to defeat Yuan Shao with one blow.  , to capture the land of Hebei. What¡¯s more, if the lord joins forces with Jingzhou and takes over half of the country, it would be like fighting the fire at a loss of pay!¡±

    When Sun Ce heard this, he narrowed his eyes and didn't move yet.  Gu Yong, who was on the side, also added a comment.

    "Now Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and a disaster is imminent. Zhuge Kongming is at a loss what to do, so he wants to borrow my troops from Jiangdong to resist them. My lord is a wise man, but I don't want to use him. It's better to listen to Zibu's words."

    Sun Ce took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Yu.  Zhou Yu had just closed his eyes to rest his mind, but then he seemed to notice Sun Ce's gaze, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile.

    "In Yi Yu's opinion, Cao Mengde's foundation is solid and his power dominates the world. Even if we, Soochow Wu and Zhuge Liang unite to resist, the outcome will be difficult to determine. On the contrary, if we, Soochow Wu, unite with the Cao family, with the strength of the two forces, Jingzhou will definitely be defeated  . Now we can discuss the marriage with Liu Ye first. If the two families reach an agreement, they will quickly behead Zhuge Liang and send it to Cao Cao. The Cao and Sun families will send troops soon, and Jingzhou will be defeated in a few months.  "

    Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's advice and decided to unite with Cao Cao for the time being.  Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong both left with great joy.  The next day, Sun CeHe called Liu Ye to see him and told Wu Guotai what he wanted.  Liu Ye had already heard about this from Qiao Guolao, but he didn't dare to make any mistakes. He immediately promised to rush back to the Central Plains immediately and he would definitely make things happen.  Sun Ce was overjoyed and sent someone to send Liu Ye out of Jiangdong.  Liu Ye packed up his luggage that day, took his followers, left Jiangdong, and hurried away looking at the starry night in the Central Plains.

    Sun Ce intended to unite with Cao Cao. When Lu Su heard about it, he was shocked and quickly entered the posthouse with Zhuge Jin to see Zhuge Liang.  Zhuge Liang saw that Lu Su and Zhuge Jin both had anxious faces, but he was not surprised and calm.

    Lu Su shouted anxiously when he saw this.

    "Did Kong Ming know that a catastrophe was coming!?"

    Zhuge Liang heard this, gently shook his goose feather fan, and said with a smile.

    "Oh? I would like to hear the details!"

    "Oops! Cao Cao wants to marry Soochow and make friends with Qin and Jin. My lord wanted to refuse this matter before, but he didn't know that Qiao Guo Lao informed the old lady about it. The lady came forward to tell my lord, my lord is loyal and filial.  People do not dare to disobey the wishes of the state. Now that Liu Ye has returned to the Central Plains to report the matter, once the document is sent to Jiangdong, my lord will behead Kong Ming and give it to Cao Cao as a gift to unite the two families.

    "The matter has come to this, Kong Ming must not hide any more clumsiness. If there is a good strategy, he should tell it to my lord as soon as possible."  Only in this way can things turn around!  !  "

    Lu Su was so worried that his brows were burning, but Zhuge Liang was calm and calm, and smiled with Lu Su.

    "Haha, please be patient, Zijing. I wonder who the Cao and Sun families are marrying?"

    Lu Su frowned and said quickly.

    "The woman is my lord's sister, Sun Shangxiang. The man is Cao Cao's old thief! They are incompatible with each other in seniority and age, but Cao Cao risked the disdain of the world to take the sister of Marquis Wu. It is really shameless!"

    "But let's not forget about this marriage. Second brother, you are in a dangerous situation now, but if the Sun and Cao families really get married, my lord and Zhou Gongjin are afraid of you. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to repay your safety as a brother. If  You have no plan, so leave quickly, my brother will arrange a ship for you."

    Zhuge Jin was afraid that Zhuge Liang was just playing tricks before, so he quickly tried to persuade Zhuge Liang.

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled inwardly, and the time was finally ripe for secret passage.  Zhuge Liang then stood up, bowed his hands, and said in a solemn voice.

    "Brother, please listen to Liang's words. I looked at Cao Cao's millions of people like ants' ears! But when I raised my hand, they all turned into powder! I didn't dare to speak lightly before because the time has not come. Now the time is right.  It¡¯s already mature. Tomorrow I have to trouble my brother and Zijing to bring me into the hall to pay homage to the Marquis of Wu. Then the Marquis of Wu will definitely promise to unite with me in Jingzhou!¡±

    "this!"

    Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard what he said. It was already irreversible, but Zhuge Liang was still so steadfast in his vow. If Zhuge Jin didn't know the abilities of his younger brother, he would have thought that he was a lunatic who didn't know the heights of the world.  Lu Su concentrated his attention and asked with a little doubt.

    "Kong Ming is really sure. Did you know that there are some mistakes, and you will definitely die!"

    "Haha, we'll find out in the hall tomorrow."

    Zhuge Liang's bright eyes were shining brightly, and his whole body exuded an unfathomable aura, as if he could calculate everything in the world.  Seeing this, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin left with hesitation and doubt.

    The next day, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin led Zhuge Liang into the hall to meet Sun Ce. Sun Ce sat in the high hall with a playful smile on his lips.  Zhou Yu was on one side with a cold gaze, secretly thinking that no matter how talented Zhuge Liang was, he would still be defeated by the general trend and would inevitably die!  Many of Jiangdong's ministers on the table also laughed secretly, as if they were looking forward to seeing how Zhuge Liang, who had stunned everyone in front of Jiangdong's ministers with his lips and tongue like swords in the past, could turn the tide with his words again.

    Zhuge Liang looked determined and bowed to Sun Ce first.

    "Shi Lailiang insulted the majesty of the Marquis of Wu. Fortunately, he will not be found guilty."

    Sun Ce saw that Zhuge Liang's words had lost all edge and he was eager to seek favors. The smile on his lips couldn't help but get bigger, and he laughed.

    "Why should Kong Ming do this? I have already forgotten this matter, so there is no need to mention it again. I wonder if Kong Ming is here to see me today. Can he give me some high-level teachings?"

    Zhuge Liang gently shook his goose feather fan and replied humbly.

    "How dare you teach the Marquis of Wu if you are not as bright as a wild man in the village. I am here today to congratulate you."

    Hearing this, Sun Ce narrowed his eyes. He guessed that Zhuge Liang must have heard about his intention to marry Cao Cao, so he asked coldly.

    "Oh? How do you say this?"

    "Haha. The Marquis of Wu wants to marry his sister to Cao Cao to protect Soochow. We have already learned about this, why should we hide it?"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Sun Ce was filled with murderous intent and sneered.

    "Kong Ming actually knows this. Is it possible that he sees that the situation is not good and is willing to switch to my subordinates to save his life?"

    Zhuge Liang smiled brightly and had no fear of death.Tao.

    "No. Kong Ming never served two masters in his life, and he also knew that once Cao Cao's documents were lost, Kong Ming would definitely die. Before his death, Kong Ming was willing to offer a stupid trick, and then teach Wu Hou to win Cao Cao's heart, and he would become rich and prosperous in the future.  Three generations!¡±

    "Why talk so much! Zhuge Kongming, you are already a turtle in the urn, how dare you use evil words to confuse my lord again! My lord, why not put this madman in prison first, and then deal with it after Duke Cao's document is issued!!"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhang Zhao immediately became angry and pointed his finger at Zhuge Liang.  Sun Ce's face was cold, but he was not in a hurry to confront Zang Geliang at this time, he raised his head and said coldly.

    "Okay! But let's see what your plan is first!"

    Zhuge Liang suddenly stood up with a pleasant smile and said slowly.

    "Cao Cao is the most evil hero in the world. Although Wu Hou is married to him, with Cao Cao's cunning, how can he allow Wu Hou to separatize a large area in the south of the Yangtze River. But if Wu Hou can win Cao Cao's favor, Cao Cao will most likely be all suspicious of Wu Hou.  This plan does not require the labor of carrying sheep and wine, nor does it require Wu Hou to cross the river in person to go to the Central Plains. He only needs to send two more people to the Central Plains.  He must be overjoyed, his life is enough, there is no need to raise an army to conquer Jiangdong!"

    When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help showing a little surprise and asked in a solemn voice.

    "How can we use two people to get Cao Cao's intention not to invade Jiangdong in his lifetime?"

    Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered, and when he saw Sun Ce coming to ask, he was secretly happy, and secretly said that he had hanged himself, and then he said so.

    "When Liang was in Jingzhou, he heard that Cao Cao had built a new machine on the Zhang River in Yecheng. It was called the Bronze Bird. It was extremely magnificent and luxurious. Cao Cao even selected beautiful women from all over the world to live among them. Cao Cao was originally a lustful man, and he wanted to win.  Beautiful women from all over the world are with you.

    Cao Cao has coveted the three beauties from Jiangdong for a long time.  One of them is Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Marquis Wu.  Wu Hou knew the current affairs and secretly promised his younger sister.  If these two people go to Jiangdong again, they will be like a leaf floating on a big tree, and a millet will be lost in Taicang.  But if Cao Cao gets it, he will be very happy and happy, and he is willing to be connected with Jiangdong forever!  "

    Sun Ce exclaimed after hearing what Zhuge Liang said.

    ¡°It only takes two people!?¡±

    Zhuge Liang smiled even more and answered quickly.

    "My fate is already in the hands of Marquis Wu. Life and death depend on Marquis Wu's thoughts. How dare you make mistakes?"
