Zhou Yu sent Jiang Gan away, while Pang Tong and Zhao Yun remained in Jiangdong.
Sun Family Hall.
Sun Quan, who was sitting in the head, asked Pang Tong with a smile on his face: "Dare you ask when Cao Zirong plans to marry his sister?"
"Young Master asked us to come here to welcome the lady across the river." Pang Tong said: "The army will withdraw after it defeats Liu Xuande. The marriage with the lady may be held in Shouchun."
"My sister is married, how can I, the elder brother, not send a bride?" Sun Quan said: "I think I should let Cao Zirong come to Jiangdong."
"The young master is busy with his affairs and really can't get out of his background." Pang Tong said: "What's more, there is a bit of subtle between Jiangdong and Liu Xuande now. Even if the young master is willing to come, Cao Gong will not let him go."
"What's the subtlety of our Jiangdong and Liu Xuande?" Sun Quan said: "I can't understand Shi Yuan said this."
"Have Liu Xuande sent Zhuge Kongming to Jiangdong?" Pang Tong asked: "Did Zhuge Kongming encourage the Marquis of Wu to deal with the Cao family?"
Shocked by Pang Tong's question, Sun Quan said, "It turns out that Shi Yuan already knows about this."
"Liu Xuande spared no effort to be an enemy of the Cao family. Now he is at the end of his strength. How could he not try his best to find foreign aid?" Pang Tong said: "I just want to tell the Marquis of Wu that the Marquis of Cao has absolutely no desire for Jiangdong. On the contrary, it is Liu Xuande. If Marquis of Wu believed his slander, he might have led a wolf into the house."
"Liu Xuande is kind, so he shouldn't be like this..." Sun Quan said: "But since our Sun family and the Cao family have become in-laws, they have no suspicion. I don't believe what he said."
"I can't tell whether Wu Hou believes it or not." Pang Tong said: "But for the sake of the safety of the young master, Jiangdong must not be able to come."
"How can I prove that Cao Zirong can't come?" Sun Quan said: "I marry the girl to him, that is, I give him a hostage..."
"The Marquis of Wu said that Liu Xuande was a kind person, which shows that he has a good impression of him." Pang Tong replied: "Since Marquis of Wu is like this, I can only go back and report, just say..."
Speaking of this, he didn't continue.
Sun Quan asked, "What do Shi Yuan plan to say?"
"Just say that Wu Hou agreed to Liu Xuande's proposal and told the young master not to think about Miss Sun again." Pang Tong stood up and bowed and said, "I will say goodbye first!"
"Shi Yuan stayed!" Pang Tong and Zhao Yun were about to leave, and Sun Quan quickly stood up and called them.
He was very puzzled how Pang Tong knew that Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come to propose marriage.
"Liu Xuande really asked Zhuge Liang to come and propose marriage." Sun Quan said: "I just don't know how Shi Yuan knew?"
Before Pang Tong came to Wujun, Cao Shu told him that Liu Bei would definitely propose marriage to Jiangdong in order to unite with the Sun family.
At first, Pang Tong was still half-believing and half-doubted, and the question just now was just a tentative question.
Seeing Sun Quan's reaction, he completely believed it.
Liu Bei really asked someone to ask for a kiss...
"I just said it casually, and it seems that I really got it." Pang Tong smiled coldly: "Wu Hou just agreed to Liu Bei. After rebelling with the Cao family, the Cao family may not have a big chance of attacking Jiangdong. However, Wu Hou wanted to lead the wolf into the house. I'm afraid that Jiangdong will change his surname soon."
"There is no need for every sentence that Shi Yuan speaks with sharpness." Sun Quan asked, "I don't understand why the relationship between Liu Bei is to lead the wolf into the house?"
"Don't you know if the Marquis of Wu remembers Tao Qian?" Pang Tong asked, "Do you remember Yuan Benchu, Cao Gong and Liu Jingsheng?"
Sun Quan was stunned.
The people Pang Tong mentioned were all those who had helped Liu Bei but were betrayed by Liu Bei.
Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Liu Bei took his territory directly.
Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both accepted Liu Bei, he secretly made a move and deceived many soldiers and horses away.
As for Liu Biao in Jingzhou, it was precisely because of Liu Bei's confusion that Jingzhou has become a mess in recent years.
Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi has now lost his troops and become an official under Liu Bei's tent.
"I can only say this. Should the Marquis of Wu be close to Liu Bei or our young master? Please consider it carefully." Pang Tong bowed: "I will say goodbye first."
"Shiyuan stay!" Sun Quan called him again.
"Marquis Wu has any instructions?" Pang Tong turned around and asked.
"Of course I would like to make friends with the Cao family." Sun Quan said: "But the Cao family army is in Jiangbei, and I really can't sleep or eat..."
"The Cao family is Cao Gong, and the young master cannot make a decision," said Pang Tong: "However, I followed the young master, but I have never heard that the Cao family is not good for Jiangdong. This time I came to Jiangdong, I just took the order of the young master to welcome the young lady across the river. Once the young lady married the young master, would he still sit by and watch Cao Gong attack Jiangdong?"
Staring at Pang Tong, Sun Quan hesitated a little.
After a while, he asked, "Does the Cao family really have no plans to be unfavorable to Jiangdong?"
"If the Cao family had plans to be unfavorable to Jiangdong, why would they station troops in Xiangyang?" Pang Tong said: "The Cao family's hundreds of thousands of troops are in Jiangbei. They plan to cross the river to attack the Sun family. Of course, they want to mobilize the army to the bank of the Yangtze River, but when Wu Hou saw that the Cao family had taken action?"
"Cao Zirong really can't come to Jiangdong in person?" Sun Quan asked again.
"What is the difference between the young master coming or not?" Pang Tong asked, "Can the Wu Hou refuse to recognize this marriage if the young master doesn't come?"
"Of course not." Sun Quan said: "When Cao Zirong came, I had not taken over Jiangdong, nor could I have had a drink with him. Now he is in Jingzhou, and he will marry his sister-in-law. It is a pity that he cannot meet him."
He continued: "Especially her mother, she feels sorry for her daughter, and she also has a good impression of Cao Zirong, and always wants to see him..."
"Liu Xuande is still in Jiangxia, and the Cao family will attack soon." Pang Tong said: "The young master is really unable to get out of here now. Wu Hou is not as good as..."
"What's better?" Sun Quan asked.
"It's better to hand over the young lady to the young master on the Yangtze River, what?" Pang Tong asked.
"Above the Yangtze River?" Sun Quan asked in surprise: "Why?"
"I'm not hiding the Marquis of Wu, in order to deal with Liu Xuande, the young master transferred a lot of weapons and naval troops." Pang Tong said: "In a few days, he will personally go to the riverside to check the naval troops. At that time, the Marquis of Wu can be with him on the river for a while. On the long river, the son and the Marquis of Wu drink and have fun. Isn't that a good thing?"
Knowing that Cao Shu could not come to Jiangdong, Sun Quan nodded and said, "I will take my mother with me and let her take a good look at Cao Zirong."
"Since Mr. Wu made a decision, can we bring the lady back to the north shore first?" Pang Tong asked.
"This..." Sun Quan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."
"There is nothing wrong." Pang Tong said: "When the young lady arrives at the north shore, the young master will of course meet the Wu Hou. Could it be that the Wu Hou can't believe in the young master's character?"
