From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yu's marriage plan is indeed a clever move.

It is also the only trick that can get Sun out of the predicament in the current situation. If there is no foreign aid, facing the Han army advancing in three directions, the demise of the Sun family is only a matter of time!

As a smart person, Zhu Sheng's views are consistent with Zhou Yu; In this world, only Liu Bei can pull the Sun family who fell into the quagmire ashore, and let the Sun family get rid of the fate of being wiped out.

The current situation has reached the point where the poor dagger can see it, and after Sun Ce is destroyed, the next one will inevitably be Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei doesn't want to fight back now, there is no way to get the best of both worlds!

As a descendant of Liu Bang, Liu Bei must understand this truth, Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue, the princes with heavy troops, are his examples. At present, Liu Bei, who has 200,000 heavy troops in his hands and is located in Bashu and Hanzhong, is more threatening than Xinbu, even if Liu Wei pushes his heart and tells Liu Bei to hand over the military power, crown you as the king, and protect you from generation to generation, Liu Bei will not believe it!

In fact, as long as people with a little brain, in this situation of Liu Bei, they will not believe it. The promise of the emperor, is there anything more unreliable in the world than this? Especially when it threatens them, the emperor is definitely faster than turning the book.

Why is Liu Wei's next opponent Liu Bei, not Cao Cao or Liu Xie, or even Gongsun Zan or Ran Min in the north? The answer, of course, is that Bashu is now in Liu Bei's hands.

In history, "Wang Ruilou went down to Yangzhou, and the king of Jinling was gloomy" in the battle of the Western Jin Dynasty to destroy Wu. and the battle of Mengyuan to destroy the Song Dynasty, all of which opened a breakthrough from Bashu. Descending the river, the hostile regime was destroyed in one fell swoop. Just a little bit of politics. Anyone with a bit of strategic vision will understand that after unifying Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places, the biggest threat to Jinling is Liu Bei, who is entrenched in Bashu.

What's more, Guan Yu now occupies more than 30 county towns in Shangyong, Weixing, Nanxiang, and Xincheng in the west of Jingzhou. As long as Liu Wei wants to unify Jingzhou, a conflict with Guan Yu is inevitable.

If the current situation is described by the Three Kingdoms Killing, it has reached a situation where the traitor has to jump. Jumping out now might be dead, but you might also have the last laugh. If you continue to be silent and wait for the thieves to hang up one by one, there is only a dead end.

What is loyal to the Han family, what is the orthodoxy of the Han family, those are all tricks to fool people, and they are just pretenses. In fact, as long as the princes who support the army and respect themselves, they all have the mentality that the Han loses its deer and the world chases it together, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie from this world!

By now, Liu Bei has no way out, either reverse or die! Hand over the military power to enjoy the old age in peace. Liu Bei won't believe it, and neither will his brothers!

The autumn wind blows, and the osmanthus flowers outside the window are scattered.

Although Zhu Sheng very much agrees with Zhou Yu's point of view, he also knows that the person Sun Ce loves the most is Sun Shangxiang. is even more loving than his younger brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi. Using Sun Shangxiang as a chess piece to marry Liu Bei, who is more than 20 years older, whether Sun Ce can be ruthless, Zhu Sheng is really not sure.

"Back to the lord's words. Gong Jin's strategy is indeed a good idea, but it seems a little unfair to Miss Shang Xiang! Zhu Sheng stood with his hands tied. Cautiously replied.

Sun Ce Huoran got up and slammed open the window behind him. Standing in front of the window, staring at the osmanthus flowers all over the ground with resolute eyes, he said proudly: "Even if our Sun family is going to perish tomorrow, I won't exchange it for Shangxiang!" If I can't even protect my own brothers and sisters, what's the use of my brother even if he owns the whole world? ”

Zhu Sheng stood behind Sun Ce, speechless for a long time, looking at Sun Ce's tall and burly back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

If you look at it from the perspective of a politician and a military strategist, Sun Ce's decision is undoubtedly stupid. But as an elder brother, his decision can't help but be awe-inspiring!

At this moment, Zhu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The brave and upright Sun Bofu may not be a good monarch, but he is a man who is happy to take revenge, he is jealous and hateful, he loves his brothers and sisters, he trusts his friends, and he is a good lord to follow. But in the face of the powerful offensive of the Han army, he could not turn the tide and save him from the quagmire!

"The revenge of killing my father is not shared, but I, Sun Ce, can't use my own sister as a chess piece!" Sun Ce clenched his fists and said firmly, "Send a man who can speak well and carry a lot of money to Bashu to lobby Liu Bei, if Liu Bei refuses to send troops, our Sun family has no choice but to accept fate!" But before my Sun Ce falls, I will definitely kill as many Han soldiers as possible! ”

"Liu Bei has now captured the wealthy city of Chengdu and taken over the treasury and granaries of Yizhou. I'm afraid that the money and food are still above our army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to impress Liu Bei with money and food alone. Zhu Sheng groaned slightly, and then made his own judgment.

Sun Ce felt that what Zhu Sheng said made sense, and then fell silent.

After a while, an idea suddenly came to mind, and his eyes became bright: "I thought of an idea, choose a beautiful woman from the people, pretend to be Shang Xiang to marry Liu Bei, what do you think of this plan?" ”

Zhu Sheng frowned and thought about it, and finally shook his head: "It's not good, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and besides, the pretending woman has been in Bashu for a long time, so I'm afraid that my heart will be towards Liu Bei." If you tell the impostor, I am afraid that it will arouse Liu Bei's resentment and be self-defeating! ”

Sun Ce's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Yes, Sheng suddenly came up with a plan, maybe he could not only save Miss Shangxiang, but also arouse Liu Bei's hatred for the Eastern Han Dynasty!" Just when Sun Ce was sad, Zhu Sheng suddenly slapped his thigh and smiled.

Sun Ce turned his worries into joy, and grabbed Zhu Sheng: "Dare to ask the military advisor to plan for An's release?" ”

Zhu Sheng stretched out his hand and stroked the beard at the corner of his lower lip, and said with a smile; "The lord can repair the book to Liu Bei, send a messenger to Shu, and say that he will marry Miss Shangxiang to him, and ask Liu Bei to send someone to Xiangyang to marry Miss Shangxiang......"

"This will never work!" Sun Ce didn't hold back his temper in the end, and his head shook like a rattle.

"Don't worry, lord, listen to me!" Zhu Sheng looked like he was in his chest, and he smiled very confidently, "After Liu Bei's people greeted Miss Shang Xiang, the lord sent someone to disguise himself as a Han army, loot Miss Shang Xiang back on the way, and then blame Liu Wei." In this way, Liu Bei will definitely argue against Liu! ”

"Liu Bei would really be so easily deceived?" Sun Ce was skeptical.

Zhu Sheng said with a smile: "Although the lord can rest assured, the current situation between our army and Liu Bei is already cold, as long as our army is destroyed, the Han army will definitely point its sword at Bashu in the next step." Liu Bei only needs a reason to confront Liu Wei now, an excuse to oppose Liu Wei, even if Liu Bei can guess that we snatched Miss Shangxiang back, he will definitely take this opportunity to turn against Liu Wei. For Liu Bei, although he didn't get Miss Shangxiang, he got an excuse to crusade against Liu Wei. And his own woman was robbed, and the gossip in the world would force Liu Bei to stand up, either admitting that he didn't care about the hatred of taking his wife, or declaring war on Liu Wei! I believe that Liu Bei will definitely choose the latter! ”

After listening to Zhu Sheng's analysis, Sun Ce finally nodded and praised: "Then try it according to the idea of the military advisor, if you can persuade Liu Bei to form an alliance, it will be the luck of my Sun family; If Liu Bei refuses, it will be the life of my Sun family! ”

At the moment, Zhu Sheng wrote a letter to Liu Bei in the name of Sun Ce, starting with the friendship between Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and then analyzing the situation of the cold lips and teeth, and finally expressed his willingness to marry his sister Sun Shangxiang, and the two families became good friends of Qin and Jin, and jointly fought against Liu Wei's tyranny.

After the letter was written, Sun Ce selected a person who could speak well, prepared a generous gift, and sent dozens of retinues to escort him out of Xiangyang and go straight to Bashu.

After the envoy left, Zhu Sheng told Sun Ce not to reveal the news of his alliance with Liu Bei for the time being, so as not to arouse Zhang Ren's disgust. For the time being, he will be entertained and win his heart, and when Zhang Ren is desperately loyal, he will not be afraid that Zhang Ren will know about the alliance between the Sun and Liu families. After all, facing life and death, Sun Ce had no choice, if Zhang Ren was a husband with clear grievances, he would not resent Sun Ce because of this matter.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered September.

Han Shizhong led an army of 100,000 to march along the waterway, tracing the river from Jiangxia, and the target was directly aimed at Changsha.

On the river, Han Shizhong led Gan Ning and Zhu Huan, and generals Huang Zu, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun led 60,000 sailors, and sailed on more than 400 warships of different sizes. Everywhere I went, I was invincible, and it took ten days to enter Dongting Lake, which was only 300 miles away from Changsha.

The Han army was menacing, and the Changsha guard general Cheng Pu left the young Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao to sit in Changsha, and he and Zhou Dewei, who had just arrived from Xiangyang, and Lu Dai and Zhu Zhi led 30,000 troops to defend Luoxian, which was in danger. As long as it can survive until winter and the Sun-Liu alliance succeeds, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Just when Han Shizhong's army landed from Dongting Lake, Zhuge Liang, Yang Yansi, and Cheng Yanjin also led 40,000 horses and infantry mixed cavalry, marching westward along the south bank of the Yangtze River, all the way through the mountains and mountains, Liankeai County, Xiajun and other county seats, and it was only 80 miles away from Luo County, the only place to go to Changsha, and they were about to arrive at Luo County to help in the battle.

Hearing that Changsha was in a tight situation, Sun Ce gritted his teeth and transferred 5,000 soldiers from Xiangyang to Sun Li, and ordered Wu Jing to send 5,000 troops from Jiangling to Xing Daorong, join forces with Sun Li, and follow the public security and Wushou to the south to aid Luo County, no matter what, Luo County must be guarded to ensure the safety of Changsha.

Seeing Sun Ce's division of troops to rescue Changsha, Yue Fei decided to launch a strong attack on Xiangyang, firstly to deter Sun Ce and make him dare not act rashly, and secondly, to echo Han Shizhong who attacked Luo County, so that Sun Ce was tired of parrying. (To be continued......)
