"Ahem......" Liu Chan coughed for a while before calming down, looked at Zhuge Jin with a stiff face and said, "What did you just say?" You said that Sun Quan wants to marry his sister to me, did I hear me right? ”

"Not bad!" Zhuge Jin smiled and arched his hand and said: "Since the first battle in Jingzhou, my lord has felt deeply guilty, and he is afraid that the Sun-Liu alliance will break down from now on, so he proposed to make peace. In this way, the Sun and Liu families are a family, and naturally there will be no discord. ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be friendly, as long as Sun Quan does not come to attack my Jingzhou, I will not offend him, at present my enemy is Cao Cao, before Cao Cao is destroyed, I don't want to do anything to Jiangdong."

Besides, Sun Shangxiang is also ...... her age."

In Liu Chan's memory, Sun Shangxiang is Sun Jian's daughter, at least twenty-seven years old, if he was born ten years earlier, maybe he can still worry about it, forget it now, and he won't be laughed at when he says it.

Zhuge Jin frowned slightly, and said: "Shizi, I heard that General Guan's daughter is also your fiancée, she is the same age as my lord's sister, Shizi can marry General Guan's daughter, why do you dislike my lord's sister is older?" ”

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you saying that Sun Shangxiang is the same age as Feng'er?" Isn't she Sun Jian's daughter? The youngest must be in his twenties. ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he knew that Liu Chan had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Shizi, you misunderstood, the old lord does have two women, but they have already married, and now the children are adults.

And Sun Shangxiang is not the daughter of the old lord, but the daughter of the old lord's brother Sun Jing, Sun Jing died of illness at an early age, and her daughter was young, so Mrs. Tai took her over to raise her, thinking that the adopted daughter is now only fifteen years old, and she is just a match for the son. ”

"This butterfly effect is really powerful, Sun Shangxiang is not Sun Jian's daughter, and she is only fifteen years old." Listening to Zhuge Jin's words, Liu Chan said in his heart.

Zhuge Jin arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what the prince thinks?" ”

Liu Chan thought secretly in his heart: "Sun Quan's gang has always coveted my Jingzhou, but now because of the defeat, he has no choice but to succumb to me. Now that there is something to do with relatives, it must not be good.

When she marries, I have to always be wary of the person next to the pillow, if I don't know that the sons born in the future will be towards Jiangdong, then it will be really a dog, and I can't agree to this matter. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Chan said with a smile: "You go back and tell Wu Hou and thank him for his kindness for me, I have a lot of fiancées now, and it will not be good to neglect Wu Hou's sister when the time comes, so let's stop this matter." ”

Zhuge Jin persuaded and said: "Shizi, this is actually what Mrs. Tai meant, Mrs. Tai was seriously ill not long ago, and her only wish is to hope that her daughter will marry a good family."

And Miss is above the top on weekdays, Jiangdong Junjie she can't look at it, but she admires the prince very much, I heard that the son is filial, and the lord proposes to be close, but also for Mrs. Tai's wishes, this is also a piece of filial piety, and please ask the prince to agree. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan secretly said in his heart: "So this Sun Shangxiang is almost the same as the character of Romance, and it has a relationship with Sun Quan's mother.

That's right, Sun Quan has just been defeated, and it is impossible to propose peace, if it is according to Sun Shangxiang's temper in the romance, Sun Quan will not be able to let Sun Shangxiang do internal response.

If Sun Shangxiang's personality is really similar to Romance, then he can marry him. ”

The Sun Shangxiang in the romance, but marrying a chicken from a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, if you marry her, she will not betray her husband's family, and it is not bad to have a daughter-in-law.

And marrying such a Sun Shangxiang also has some benefits for Liu Chan.

In the future, if he destroys Cao Wei and finally attacks Jiangdong, with this relationship, the Jiangdong forces will easily surrender.

After all, I am related to your Sun family, and if I surrender, I will not do anything to you, and I can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, why not?

Liu Chan thought for a while and said: "It's useless for you to tell me about this matter, since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents, and you have to inform my father about this matter, if he agrees, I naturally have no opinion, if he disagrees, then I can't help it." ”

Liu Chan also thought very clearly, Liu Bei is still in Guanzhong at the moment, and it will take at least two or three months to send people from Jiangdong to Guanzhong.

During this time, he can send someone to inquire about Sun Shangxiang's situation, if his character is really what Liu Chan thinks, then don't intervene, whether the matter can be done or not, listen to Liu Bei.

If Sun Shangxiang's character is not what Liu Chan thinks, he will send someone to tell Liu Bei that he doesn't want to marry.

"It should, it should!" Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "I'll send a messenger to inform Uncle Liu!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Chan nodded and said: "After Lu Xun leads his troops to withdraw from Xiakou, I will send troops to take over, and when the time comes, you and I will exchange grain and grass and soldiers on the Yangtze River, and I hope that you Jiangdong can treat people with sincerity." ”

Zhuge Jin nodded: "Don't worry!" ”

……………………

………………

Time came to late autumn in October in a blink of an eye.

At this time, more than half a year has passed since Liu Bei sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

It has been three or four months since Liu Chan arrived in Jingzhou.

But it was said that Liu Bei was in Guanzhong and fought against Cao Cao.

With the power of the return cannon, he drove all the way to Chang'an.

Fortunately, Liu Ye under Cao Cao was good at Mohist learning, and with the sketches drawn by the soldiers, after a period of research, he also created a return cannon.

Of course, its power is far less than that of the genuine return cannon.

However, Cao Cao laid a large number of imitation return cannons in the deep ditch outside Chang'an City, and its defense was as stable as Mount Tai.

In addition, Chang'an was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, although it was broken in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Zhong Xuan has been running Chang'an for more than ten years, and Chang'an City has long been restored to its original scale.

In terms of tallness and sturdiness, it is enough to rank among the top five in the world.

Therefore, Liu Bei is helpless against Chang'an.

On the side of Jieting, Guo Huai led 10,000 troops to join the 30,000 allied troops of the Western Regions and marched into Jieting, but was blocked by Zhang Ren stationed in Jieting.

Guo Huai was anxious to march into Guanzhong to rescue Cao Cao, and on the one hand, he led his troops to attack, and on the other hand, he transferred soldiers from all over Liangzhou, half of them came to attack Jieting, and half of them went to Qishan Fort to station.

The enemy's offensive was too fierce, Zhang Ren persisted until September, and after blocking Guo Huai for four months, he finally couldn't resist it, so he had no choice but to lead his troops back to Wuzhangyuan.

Although Ma Chao was stationed in Wudu, more than half of the soldiers and horses were given to Liu Chan, plus Qishan Fort, the only way to enter Liangzhou, had 10,000 Cao soldiers and horses, and Guo Huai divided half of the county soldiers into Qishan Fort.

Although Ma Chao learned that Liangzhou was now in a situation of insufficient defense, he was blocked by Qishan Fort, and he could not send troops to Liangzhou to cut off the Guohuai grain road and respond to Zhang Ren of the Street Pavilion.
