About three days after the two wives of Gan Mi passed away, as Ling Hao expected, Jiang Dong immediately sent someone to express condolences, but it was not known whether it was a marriage issue. Knowing that Zhuge Liang would not let him sit in, Ling Hao also interesting.But after all, Liu Bei's consent was sought in advance, as long as things are as he thinks, he can go to Soochow together.

Lu Fan came by boat in the morning and returned to Soochow by boat in the evening, but only Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei knew what they talked about in one day.Zhao Yun was a little puzzled by Ling Hao's indifference this time. If it had been before, Ling Hao would definitely have asked about Lu Fan's purpose.He asked Ling Hao, and Ling Hao just smiled without saying a word.It was night, Liu Bei called Ling Hao to the mansion.

What surprised Liu Bei the most was Ling Hao's hypothesis, but Lu Fan actually raised the matter of marriage today in addition to expressing condolences, so that the two families could marry Qin and Jin, so that Thief Cao would not dare to think about the southeast. It can make the relationship between the two more harmonious.Liu Bei was naturally delighted. He had met Sun Shangxiang and had a good impression, but Lu Fan's request was to let him go to Soochow to get married in person. "Isn't this a good thing, what did the master say?" Ling Hao asked, "Kong Ming also said it was a good omen, as long as it is good, I will go to Soochow some day.", "Then, my lord, do you still remember the promise you made with Zixuan?" , Liu Bei smiled: "If I had forgotten, I wouldn't have called you over tonight, but Kong Ming specifically asked Zilong to follow me." Zhao Yun is sure to go with him, "I will come back when I am ready in a few days." Go, you will be with me when the time comes, and I will tell Kong Ming." "Thank you, my lord." Ling Hao saluted.

The next day, Liu Bei asked someone to prepare a series of betrothal gifts, and asked Zhuge Liang to send them to Soochow first.Zhao Yun knew the general arrangement in advance, but he was hesitant to tell Ling Hao. After all, there have been a lot of things recently, and he was afraid that Ling Hao would be unhappy if he knew about it.After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yun silently suppressed the matter.

In the winter and October of the 14th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei took Zhao Yun and sent ten fast boats, carrying [-] soldiers, from Jingzhou to Nanxu.The boat left the port, Zhao Yun was on the deck, watching the shore for a long time before entering the cabin.However, when he entered, the first thing he saw was Ling Hao who was drinking tea leisurely, and Li Yuan who was still silent beside him.

"Zixuan—you?" Zhao Yun was surprised, Ling Hao looked at Zhao Yun, "These days you always seem to have something but can't say it, I thought you would tell me if there was news about Soochow. ", Zhao Yun heard the words, from the initial surprise to silence.Seeing Zhao Yun's silence, Ling Hao sighed, "Your Majesty, I will explain this matter to Master. I have known about the marriage of Soochow since the last meeting, so I asked the Master for instructions in advance. Zilong, you don't have to hide it." Follow me.", Zhao Yun walked into the cabin, "I just don't want you to be bothered, so I suppressed it.", "It's only my fault that I knew Sun Ce too early, otherwise I wouldn't have so many troubles...", just After saying this, Ling Hao fell silent.

Zhao Yun did not come to Soochow with Zhuge Liang last time, so although it is said that Ling Hao and Sun Ce have a good relationship, it is unknown to what extent, but it is by no means an ordinary friendship, otherwise Ling Hao would not be so concerned... …"But what can you do with me? The military adviser said that this trip is like entering a tiger's den.", saving people, saving Zhou Yu, no matter what, he can't let Zhou Yu die in vain, even if he knows in his heart that this action is against the law, what will be the consequences in his heart Already faintly aware of it, but he can't tell anyone about it, even Zhao Yun and Li Yuan.Ling Hao just shook his head and did not respond to Zhao Yun's words.

As if suddenly there was a wall between himself and Ling Hao, Zhao Yun felt a little uncomfortable.

When the boat sailed to Nanxu, Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and arranged for troops. Although Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang said it was a good omen, but there were only a few hundred people, he was not so relaxed when he was on the territory of neither enemy nor friend.Lu Fan arranged a hotel for the group, and that's all for now.In Soochow, everyone knew that Liu Bei was going to marry Wu Hou's sister, and the city was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Hearing that Liu Bei had already arrived in the territory, Sun Ce was not very happy. The last thing he wanted to use was to use a woman to gain benefits, and she was his own sister, but Sun Quan and Zhou Yu proposed together, and everyone agreed, and Shang Xiang didn't know what to do. What happened, he agreed without hesitation.He couldn't figure out what they were doing at this moment.

"Brother, Liu Bei is here, shouldn't you be happy?" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows when he saw Sun Ce frown.Sun Ce glanced at his brother, he had the urge to throw the wine cup in his hand. "What are you paying attention to? If you really want to take back Jingzhou and send troops directly, why bother to go to such pains." It seems that I am the only one who is kept in the dark about this matter. "But elder brother, you hold the military power but why have you not sent troops for so long?" Sun Quan asked with green eyes. "Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold, and has become more and more arrogant since the first battle of Chibi. How far can you tolerate it? If I were to lead the army directly, it would not be difficult to take Jingzhou." Sun Ce's eyes were a little deep, "Now It's not the right time yet, if you send troops, it will undoubtedly declare that the relationship between the two sides has broken down. Cao Cao is newly defeated but still holds the main force. Don't ask any more questions, I have already agreed with Shang Xiang, as long as Liu Bei enters this circle, not to mention Jingzhou, the Jingxiang nine counties can be easily won."

Sun Ce took a sip of his wine without a word, and said after a while, "You saw Liu Bei's weakness at the banquet last time, but don't forget, even if Liu Bei is taken down, Zhuge Liang and his generals are still there.", "What are you doing?" Has time become so timid? How many troops does Liu Bei have in total? The sum is no match for Soochow, and the dragons have no leader, so what is there to be afraid of?" Sun Quan has always put Soochow's interests first, and the battle of Hefei has already been lost. There are a lot of troops, if Liu Bei is allowed to expand, they will be in danger in Jiangdong. "Brother, as Marquis of Wu, I, Jiangdong, depend on you alone. This is the most effective way." However, Sun Ce just drank.

"But have you ever thought about Shang Xiang's feelings? Doing so will undoubtedly put her in danger." Sun Quan saw that Sun Ce was worried about this, and then said: "As long as Liu Bei is not allowed to leave Soochow, Shang Xiang will be safe. " Seeing that Sun Ce did not respond, Sun Quan only regarded him as acquiescing. "How is Gongjin's condition?" Sun Quan's face changed a little, and he said in a deep voice, "Now only Hua Tuo's apprentice is here. Although the situation has eased, his physical condition is still very weak. If there are more emotional fluctuations at this time, the worst As a result, my brother also knows it in his heart." Sun Ce's eyes were tinged with worry, he and Zhou Yu grew up together and had a deep friendship, if Zhou Yu made any mistakes, he really couldn't let Liu Bei go. "Tomorrow I will go to see Liu Bei in person." Sun Ce finally gave Sun Quan a definite answer.
