Hearing this, Lu Su felt as if his eyes were spitting fire, and his whole body trembled with anger, pointing at Zhuge Liang and shouting violently.

"Zhuge Kongming, are you trying to teach my lord to bend his knees and be humiliated by the country's thieves!?"

Zhuge Liang just sneered and didn't answer, Sun Ce's patience was nearing the limit, and he wanted to explode, Zhou Yu stopped him quickly, then took a step forward, staring directly at Zhuge Liang and said in a cold voice.

"As you said, why didn't Kong Ming also surrender to the Pope? To protect your lord, wealth and honor!?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were shining brightly, and he answered with his head raised.

"My lord once said to Liang that in the past, the strong men of Tian Heng and Qi would still uphold righteousness and would rather die than be humiliated. How could Liang not know what my lord's intentions are. Besides, my lord is a member of the royal family, talented and admired by all the people. If things don’t work out, this is the destiny. How can you be submissive to others!? Liang feels his loyalty and is willing to fight to the death!”

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Sun Ce suddenly changed color, couldn't bear it, and shouted loudly.

"Zhuge Kongming, you only know the hero of the emperor's uncle, but you don't know that I, Sun Bofu, am not willing to send someone under the fence! Our soldiers in Jiangdong have enough food and food, so why be afraid of the country's thieves! Xue Jingwen is not ashamed, messing up our army's morale, destroying our Jiangdong prestige, he deserves the crime Cut!!! Left and right, hurry up and arrest this rebellious person with me!!!”

Sun Ce's sudden outburst was unexpected by all the ministers, and their colors changed in the hall. The two generals beside Sun Ce immediately rushed forward and captured Xue Zong.Xue Zong was so frightened that he begged for mercy. Seeing that Sun Ce was furious, all the ministers dared not persuade him.Zhou Yu hastily cast a dark look at Sun Ce, indicating that it is not yet the time to eradicate this thief.Sun Ce ignored him, snorted coldly, got up and retreated into the back hall.

Xue Zong's mournful begging for mercy could not be heard until he was far away. Seeing this, Zhou Yu secretly called out Zhuge Liang's plan, and hurried into the back hall.All the ministers scattered in horror.

After the meeting was over, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin took Zhuge Liang to a quiet place, and Lu Su blamed him.

"Kong Ming exalted your Lord's loyalty in the hall today, but he insinuated that my Lord is afraid of Cao? Fortunately, my Lord is magnanimous, and he will not be punished face-to-face. Kong Ming's words are very contemptuous of my Lord."

Zhuge Liang looked up and smiled.

"Marquis Wu has no intention of forming an alliance with me in Jingzhou. If I don't intentionally provoke him, how will things happen?"

Lu Su was very displeased when he heard the words, pondered for a while, and asked with some doubts.

"Kong Ming is so swearing and confident, doesn't he have a plan to defeat Cao?

Zhuge Liang smiled brightly, but shook his head without saying a word, and walked away.Lu Su was surprised for a while, and after looking at each other with Zhuge Jin, neither of them knew what kind of medicine was sold in Zhuge Liang's gourd.

But Zhou Yu chased the angry Sun Ce into the back hall.Sun Ce was still angry, seeing Zhou Yu coming in, thinking of Kong Ming's words today, and Xue Zong's rebellious words, he felt completely humiliated, and was so angry that he gritted his teeth!

Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's eyes were red and he was so angry that he sighed secretly, and after bowing his hands, he spoke softly to Sun Ce.

"This is Zhuge Liang's method of provoking generals. Bo Fu must not fall into his tricks! Zhuge Liang is a vicious man who sees people's way of thinking. He must have guessed that Xue Zong secretly voted for Cao Cao, so he intentionally provoked Bo Fu and killed him." The fate of Xue Zong. Once Xue Zong died, Liu Ye had a ghost in his heart, and decided to flee back to the Central Plains overnight to repay Cao Cao. In this way, the alliance between Jiangdong and Cao Cao will be difficult to continue. If we want to gain from the battle of Jingzhou Li, I can only choose to unite with Zhuge Liang, so it's not in Zhuge Liang's arms!?"

When Sun Ce heard the words, he stared domineeringly, his face flushed with anger, and he shouted angrily.

"Wow!!! This Zhuge Kongming is extremely cunning, he deceived me too much!!! I will have his head beheaded and given to Cao Cao!!!"

After Sun Ce roared, he even wanted to give an order.Zhou Yu hastily blocked the way.

"Don't be impatient, Bofu. Zhuge Kongming's words are also unreasonable. Cao Cao is very powerful. We must not let his evil power increase. Now let's put Xue Zong in prison first, and then call Liu Ye to see him, and then make a conclusion .”

Jiangdong and Cao and Liu, which one to unite, is a matter of great importance.Zhou Yu didn't dare to make a decisive decision for a while. After Sun Ce heard this, his anger subsided a little bit, and he followed Zhou Yu's opinion and sent someone to put Xue Zong in prison first.

At that night, Liu Ye heard that Xue Zong was executed by Sun Ce for persuading Sun Ce to surrender to Cao.Later, another detailed report came, and Sun Ce suddenly changed his mind, spared Xue Zong's death, and only sent Xue Zong to prison.After listening to Liu Ye, he felt much more at ease. He thought to himself that Sun Bofu was just as Cao Cao said, violent and arrogant, and he could not tolerate the slightest contempt from others. He could only make peace and never surrender, otherwise he would be killed. .Although Liu Ye had given orders to Xue Zong, maybe this Xue Zong was eager to make a great contribution, so he took the risk, and this end was his own fault!

Liu Ye was thinking about it, when suddenly Jiangdong came to invite him, and it was rumored that Sun Ce invited him.Liu Ye shook his spirits a few times, and after getting dressed, he followed the Jiangdong general and entered Wuhou's mansion.

Liu Ye walked into the back hall of the mansion, saw that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were already waiting, so he hurriedly bowed respectfully first, Sun Ce laughed and greeted Liu Ye, after the ceremony, the three sat down as guests and hosts.Sun Ce looked at Liu Ye with twinkling eyes and said.

"Wei Wang wanted to join forces with Benhou to attack Jingzhou. After careful consideration, although Benhou did it intentionally, he still had concerns. I don't know how sincere Wei Wang is?"

Liu Ye's expression changed when he heard the words, and then his thoughts turned, secretly trying to figure out what Sun Ce was thinking.After a while, Liu Ye got up and replied.

"The king of Wei respects Marquis Wu as a hero in the world, so he intends to unite with Marquis Wu, divide the land of Jingzhou, and form an alliance forever. Why should Marquis Wu worry too much?"

Sun Ce laughed but didn't answer.Zhou Yu stepped forward and spoke only after making the salute.

"The king of Wei is the most powerful lord in the world, with great power in the world. He won a large area of ​​Jingzhou in the future. I am afraid that no one in the world can stop the king of Wei? I am afraid that the king of Wei will cross the river and demolish the bridge, tear up the covenant, and send troops. Kill me in the land of Soochow!!"

After hearing this, Liu Ye's expression froze, his thoughts turned quickly, he pondered for a while, saluted respectfully and carefully, and said with concentration.

"The Duke of Zhou's concern, the King of Wei has already anticipated, and the King of Wei has a perfect plan to solve it. I wonder if the Marquis of Wu and the Governor would like to hear it?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's expressions changed slightly when they heard the words.Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and nodded in response.

"Wish to hear Wei Wang's high opinion!"

"The King of Wei heard that the Marquis of Wu had a younger sister who was beautiful and virtuous. She was a famous woman in Jiangdong. Although Marquis Wu's sister was a woman, she was more ambitious than a man. It was once said that if she was not a hero in the world, she would never do anything to her. The King of Wei heard that, I am full of praise, I hope that I can marry Wu Hou, if the two families marry Qin and Jin, it will be good for the family and the country, if Wu Hou agrees, it will be the luck of the people in the world!"

When Sun Ce heard Liu Ye mentioning Sun Shangxiang, Sun Ce's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to go into a fit.Although Sun Ce's mother died, Sun Ce treated his mother's sister as his own mother.Although Sun Shangxiang and him are not from the same mother, Sun Ce loves Sun Shangxiang very much on weekdays.Sun Shangxiang was allowed to have hundreds of servants and maidservants with knives in their homes, and the room was full of weapons. Although many Jiangdong courtiers complained about this, Sun Ce did not blame him. On the contrary, he said that Sun Shangxiang deserved to be He is the descendant of the Sun family Humen.

Sun Ce was about to have a fit, but Zhou Yu stopped him with dark eyes, and then asked Liu Ye with a charming smile.

"I don't know which son Wei Wangyu wants to marry? My lord Wuhou's sister is from a famous family. Yu has heard that his son Cao Ang is knowledgeable, talented, and brave. If King Wei asks for his son Cao Ang, this is also a must."

Liu Ye stared at Zhou Yu with twinkling eyes, thinking of what he was about to say next, he couldn't feel his heart tightening, and said boldly.

"The younger sister of Marquis Wu is the phoenix among men. The king of Wei feared that his son would not be as good as Marquis Wu's sister, Fa Yan, and would miss a big deal. Therefore, for the sake of a good relationship between the two families, the king of Wei intends to accept her as a concubine."

Bang! ! !

As soon as Liu Ye finished speaking, there was a loud bang on the table, and Liu Ye was frightened for a while, only to see Sun Ce get up angrily, full of murderous aura, and shouted outrageously.

"Old thief Cao is really deceiving people!!! The old thief is over a hundred years old, and my sister is in her prime, how can I get married!!! What's more, my sister is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can I marry someone as a concubine!!! Don't do this! Let’s mention it again!! Otherwise, the Sun and Cao families will never die!!!”

Sun Ce was furious and furious. Seeing this, Liu Ye was afraid that Sun Ce would get angry and order him to be executed, so he knelt down and confessed.Sun Ce then ordered Liu Ye to retreat.Liu Ye trembled and resigned with shame and indignation.

When he was young, Sun Ce's anger faded a little, and Zhou Yu, who had been standing quietly and meditating, said suddenly.

"If Bo Fu wants to win the world and achieve a great cause, how can he be emotional?"

Sun Ce stared at him bullyingly, and said through gritted teeth.

"I don't know! But they are not of the same age, and Cao thief and my father were courtiers of the same court. If my sister is Cao thief's concubine, it is not suitable for etiquette. What's more, my second mother loves my sister so much, how can I let it go?" My sister is someone else's concubine!?"

Seeing that Sun Ce was angry, Zhou Yu didn't persuade him much.So far, Zhuge Liang and Liu Ye, the lobbyists of Cao and Liu, have not made any progress in the matter of uniting Soochow.

One day, Liu Ye was a guest in Qiao Guo's old mansion, and deliberately revealed that Cao Cao intended to take Sun Shangxiang as his concubine. This was a mutual interest between the Cao and Sun families, but Sun Ce refused.Qiao Guolao had an old relationship with Cao Cao in the past, and he always admired Cao Cao, and he didn't feel sorry when he heard it.Seeing this, Liu Ye hurriedly asked Qiao Guolao for advice.Qiao Guolao pondered for a while, he knew that at this time, Sun Ce was choosing between Cao and Liu, and between the two, Qiao Guolao was more inclined to the alliance between Soochow and Cao Cao.Therefore, Liu Ye finally agreed to this matter.Liu Ye was overjoyed, and quickly thanked Mr. Qiao Guo.After the two discussed for a while, Liu Ye withdrew.Qiao Guolao dressed up and went to see Wu Guotai to congratulate him.

Wu Guotai didn't know where the joy came from, so she hurriedly asked Qiao Guolao.

"What does the old man mean by this? What is the happy event? But the old man doesn't know?"

Qiao Guolao laughed and cupped his hands in congratulations.

"The old man once heard from Liu Ye that the current king of Wei intends to take Ling'ai as his concubine. Cao Mengde is the most powerful lord in the world, and his power shakes the world! As the saying goes, Ling'ai is not a hero, so don't worry about it. Although Jiangdong has many talents, but None of them came into his eyes. Madam has always been concerned about this. Now that Cao Mengde intends to accept it, wouldn't it just relieve Madam's worries for many years?"

Wu Guotai turned pale when he heard the words, and then thought that Cao Cao was just taking Sun Shangxiang as his concubine, his complexion suddenly darkened, and he immediately retorted.

"Hmph! Although Cao Mengde is a hero, but his daughter is also a famous queen, with golden branches and jade leaves, and his brother is now the leader of the Eastern Wu, but he wants to be his concubine. This is not treating the old daughter badly!"

Wu Guotai said angrily, Qiao Guo knew that his temper was stubborn, so he hurriedly tried to comfort him.

"Madam's words are reasonable. But what if you marry as an equal wife? Cao Cao is powerful in the world, and sooner or later he will ascend to the throne of the emperor. Immediately Lingai will become the queen of a country. Moreover, if the two families of Cao and Sun are united , Jiangdong will not only be spared from catastrophe, but my son-in-law will also be able to preserve his wealth."
