Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1541 Helpless Marriage

The palace, above the main hall.

"Sir, Sun Ce, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Sun Ce bowed his head, saluting respectfully to the young man on the throne.

"King Wu doesn't need to be too polite, let's be flat!"

Liu Xie wore a brocade robe and a flat sky crown on his head, sitting in a high position, with an indifferent expression, and his eyes were as plain as water, as if nothing could attract his attention.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Ce stood up, and then he casually began to look at the emperor. There were many rumors about the emperor, but he didn't know much about it.

But he knew one thing. Being able to be a puppet safely under the two powerful ministers is not a small skill, and there was a war that almost brought Cao Cao down before.

This emperor is by no means simple.

Of course, he could also feel that today's Son of Heaven seems to have lost a lot of energy and energy, and in terms of state, he looks a little sluggish, and his youthful appearance is like his old age.

"Jiangdong is a rich place. The king of Wu should do his duty faithfully and guard Jiangdong for the court. This is a great achievement. There are thieves in the world today. If I, a big man, can't unite as one, how can I punish the thieves!"

The emperor Liu Xie was expressionless, and said a few words very calmly. The tone and voice seemed to be endorsing a book, which made people feel a little awkward.

Sun Ce knew that before this, the emperor had lost to Cao Cao, and the loss was terrible, but he really did not expect that Cao Cao almost directly destroyed the emperor.

Such an emperor really doesn't have much use value.

"What Your Majesty said is true, Ming thieves are rampant, and we must be united to kill them!" Sun Ce happily accepted the order, and bowed his hands to show his loyalty.

"Wu Wang's loyalty, I deeply, now I feel a little unwell, if Wu Wang has something, you can discuss it with Wei Wang, Wei Wang is my hero, and thanks to Wei Wei's help, I can stabilize the world. I treat Wei Wei like a father, and I can entrust the country The man!" Tianzi said leisurely, and coughed twice, indicating that his health is indeed not very good, in fact, he has been in poor health since he was defeated.

"Sir, take orders!"

Sun Shizhi was slightly surprised, but after being surprised, he was more curious. He first looked at the expressions of the officials above the court, and found that everyone seemed to be familiar with this scene. That is to say, this state did not happen temporarily. It's been a while, and it's been going on for a while.

He couldn't help squinting at Cao Cao, who was wearing an official robe and ranked first among all the officials.

At this moment, Cao Cao seems to have formed a new tacit understanding with the emperor, watching his nose and nose, watching his heart, and allowing the emperor to play, without any posture and expression at all.

Sun Ce couldn't help sighing in his heart: What a Cao Mengde, I thought it would not be so easy for him to take charge of the court, but I didn't expect that he could beat the emperor like this, it's amazing.

Killing is easy.

It's hard to kill.

They are all vassals, leading troops in battle, killing decisively, the swords in their hands are stained with the blood of many people, but if killing people can subdue the world, then there are not so many things, everyone just set up a battle and start fighting .

The so-called killing is not as good as punishing the heart, and punishing the heart is the best strategy for fighting.

If the Son of Heaven is going smoothly today, he must have been punished by Cao Cao, almost destroying all his fighting spirit and self-confidence. Sun Ce asked himself that he couldn't do this.

If it is so simple to take the emperor to command the princes, Cao Cao has already ruled the world. Presumably, Cao Cao has done a lot of things to tame the emperor.

But Sun Ce didn't care either.

Before coming to Xudu, he had already thought about this issue. If he dared to come to Xudu, he would naturally not put his mind on the emperor. Between the emperor and Cao Cao, he had already made a choice, and he wanted to rely on the emperor to win It is whimsical to form an alliance with the emperor and princes. After all, it is not the emperor who can take over the world. Only Cao Cao can do it.

When his father was in power, he had praised Cao Mengde a lot. After this eunuch who was not outstanding in the imperial court, he did not expect to become the most powerful one among the Han princes once he ruled the Central Plains.

Although Jiangdong is strong, it is strong because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River with warships. If the formation is opened, the Wei army can also defeat them.

........................

The theme of the court meeting was to welcome the king of Wu into the court, and this topic went very smoothly. The emperor personally came forward, which also gave the king of Wu enough face.

As the emperor retreated due to illness, all civil and military officials filed out.

Sun Ce also walked out with the team.

"Bofu, the marriage between Zixiu and your sister is not only a matter between you and my family, but also a matter between the imperial court and Jiangdong. Now that your father is gone, I am older, and I will personally come forward to handle it." It’s all right, you can feel at ease in Xudu, you can relax and play, Xudu has quite a geographical and human flavor!”

Cao Cao and Sun Ce walked side by side and said with a smile.

But his eyes were a little dark.

When the light from the corner of his eyes looked at the slightly calm Sun Ce, he suddenly felt a threat. Sun Ce is young, and youth is potential.

If he is gone in the future, can Cao Ang hold him down?

But this thought was just a passing thought, and it disappeared very quickly. In today's world, the Ming Dynasty is the most serious problem. Before defeating the Ming army, he had no idea at all.

Unity is the only chance to win the Ming army, any extra thought will cause chaos
"Uncle Shi is right!"

Sun Ce's attitude is not high, he is willing to call him his nephew, he said softly: "My father was killed by the Ming thief, and now the elder brother is the father, he should cater to the etiquette, but the boy is young, he doesn't know much about the etiquette, and many things need to be done. Please trouble Uncle Shi!"

"It's okay!"

Cao Cao took a deep look at Sun Ce.

The Sun Ce he saw today was very different from the Sun Ce he knew from the materials. Sometimes what he saw was true but what he saw was not necessarily true.

For Sun Ce, he had to re-evaluate it.

Young talents.

Looking around the world, apart from Mujing in the southwest, Cao Cao couldn't find many people who could have Sun Bofu's magnanimity and ability.

………………

"His Royal Highness Wu!" After Cao Cao left with his personal guards, a middle-aged man chased him out and caught up with Sun Ce.

"Lieutenant Yang?"

Sun Ce turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man, his eyes lit up, it was Yang Biao.

He was not unfamiliar with Yang Biao at all, and he quickly put on a smile: "What's the matter with Taiwei Yang looking for Xiao Wang?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu is able to sacrifice his life to enter the court for the great Han Dynasty and the common people in the world. Some people admire it. I have prepared a few banquets in the mansion for the past few days. Please honor your highness!"

Yang Biao smiled and handed Sun Ce a name card.

"How could Xiao Wang not be invited by the Taiwei!"

Sun Ce took the name card, smiled slightly, and said, "After Xiao Wang and Wei Wang finished chatting about their official business, they will definitely go to a banquet and have a long talk with the Taiwei!"

"Then so-and-so is at the mansion, waiting for the king!" Yang Biao smiled slightly and bowed his hands.

"You are too polite, Lieutenant!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Yang Biao left.

After Yang Biao left, Sun Ce lowered his face. He looked at Yang Biao's back and frowned slightly.

Thoughts in his head seemed to be in a mess.

"With Gong Jin not around, it's troublesome to deal with these old foxes!" He muttered to himself.

Zhou Yu was supposed to go north together, but after leaving Jianyedu, he stopped in Shouchun and joined Tai Shici directly, and finally decided to lead the army with Tai Shici.

It's not that Sun Ce didn't want to come to Xudu with Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu was by his side, he could use his brain less and just listen to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is good at this aspect, but he is good at fighting, and he is really lacking in such things as fighting mind.

But he can come to Xudu, but Zhou Yu can't.

He doesn't have to die. If Zhou Yu comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back, and if even Zhou Yu comes, it will inevitably add weight to Cao Cao's upset.

Even he may not be able to go back.

He dared to enter Xudu because he was gambling, betting some luck, betting some fear, but he couldn't say that Cao Cao would not turn his back on him. Whether Cao Cao turned his back on him or not was never a moral decision, but an interest.

It's just to see if the benefits can make him tempted.

Jiangdong has two walls, one is Sun Ce, the little overlord, brave and good at fighting, invincible, charismatic and charismatic, deeply loved by soldiers, and Jiangdong surrenders to every call.Yi Naimei Zhou Lang Zhou Yu is extremely intelligent and courageous. He can write with a pen, kill with a sword, lead troops in battle to kill enemies, and look at the world and seek the overall situation. He is a top strategist in the world.

He, Sun Ce, went north to Xudu, but the danger was not that great. Unless Cao Cao had enough strength to eat Jiangdong in one bite, he would not do anything to him.

He thought that Jiangdong still had a Sun Quan. Killing Sun Ce, even imprisoning Sun Ce, would arouse Jiangdong’s resentment. After a while, Sun Ce directly gave the seat to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was supported by Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao. Even if Jiangdong lost Sun Ce, it would not be so If it collapses, there will be one more enemy instead.

But if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are all detained or killed, Jiangdong will really be in chaos. Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao alone cannot control Jiangdong.

Under such circumstances, if Cao Cao puts his mind to one side, maybe he can really turn his face.

"His Royal Highness King Wu!"

A young man smiled slightly, and at some point, he was already standing beside him.

"Who is this?" Sun Ce narrowed his eyes. For the officials of the court, he only refers to their names. There are really few people he has seen, especially the court of Xudu.

"At Xiahonglu Temple, Shaoqing, Zhong Yao!"

There is one set for the imperial court and one set for the Wei Wangfu. Most of the officials took vacant posts in the imperial court, and then mainly received official posts in the Wei Wangfu.

Since Xu Du established the imperial court, the three princes and nine ministers were naturally indispensable.

"It turned out to be Zhong Shaoqing!" As for Zhong Yao's name, how could Sun Ce not have heard of it? people.

"His Royal Highness, the marriage between Prince Wei's son and younger sister of King Wu is a major national event, and Honglu Temple is responsible for this matter. These days, it is inevitable to go to His Royal Highness Wu!"

Zhong Yao cupped his hands and saluted.

"Be polite, be polite!" Sun Ce said hastily, "It's a blessing for me to have such responsible officials in the imperial court. Xiao Wang must fully cooperate!"

..............................

From the court hall to the gate of the palace, Sun Ce also greeted many people along the way, and he also had a little understanding of the Xudu court.

As for what plans are in the heart, no one knows.

However, on the surface, he is still very low-key, and many greetings are done immediately, and he has no intention of trying to win over the courtiers.

After leaving the palace, under the escort of his personal guards, he returned to the post station of Honglu Division. The entire post station was guarded by heavy soldiers, with the Wei army on the outside and Wu army on the inside, all elite.

Regarding Sun Ce's entry into Xudu, Sun Ce himself was sad, and Cao Cao also took care of it. After entering Xudu, even if Sun Ce broke a little skin, he would fall into Cao Cao's account.

If someone killed Sun Ce under his nose, then Cao Cao would jump into the sea, and he would not be able to wash away his bad reputation. Then he would inevitably have a fierce battle with Jiangdong, and in the end they both died.

Therefore, he paid great attention to Sun Ce's safety, and never allowed any accidents. Whether it was the night building or the reorganized imperial guards, they were all on guard.

Sun Ce also attaches great importance to his own life and death. He dared to come to Xudu and was prepared to die, but death has to be valuable. If he died under the assassins, causing the court and the state of Wu to turn against each other, he would be dead. He is also a sinner, so how can he not save his life, he has a general by his side, and he also brought [-] cavalry guards, even [-] elite soldiers may not be able to eat them.

Fortunately, the post station is very large, like thirteen large mansions, which can accommodate thousands of people. Everything in it is arranged by the people from Wu Kingdom, from the guards to the food and beverages, without any intervention.

After entering the post station, Sun Ce felt a little bit relieved. Only his own people could make him feel at ease. The soldiers and horses outside were after all the soldiers of the Wei army, so how could he be relieved.

"Your Majesty!"

This time it was General Dong Xi who escorted Sun Ce to the north. Dong Xi was a fierce general who was single-handedly selected by Sun Ce. He had extraordinary martial arts skills and was good at arranging troops.

"Has Shang Xiang rested?"

Sun Ce looked at the courtyard next door with gloomy eyes.

He was not willing to let his younger sister, whom he loved since childhood, do a political marriage, but looking at Jiangdong, only she has such an identity.

"The princess just had a fight with his subordinates just now!" Dong Xi said in a low voice.

"I know it!"

Sun Ce nodded, he thought for a while, and stepped into the quiet courtyard.

At this time, in the courtyard, under a big poplar tree, a young girl dressed up was cleaning her silver spear. The ten-foot-long spear was just right for her figure.

"Xiangxiang!"

Sun Ce spoke in a low voice.

"Brother!"

Sun Shangxiang stood up, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, the smile was sincere, and a pair of eyes as bright as a bright moon shone brightly.

She quickly raised her gun and said excitedly: "Brother, Overlord Nineteen Guns, I have already learned the No.12 gun, how about I show you the trick!"

Sun Ce's marksmanship is inherited from the Overlord of Western Chu, but has a unique style. The Overlord of Western Chu has the Nine Styles of the Overlord. On this basis, he created the Nineteen Spears of the Overlord.

Xiang Ji is extremely fierce, and although Sun Ce is known as a little overlord, he is also a brave warrior, but he can't learn this kind of absolute domineering.

So he combined his own characteristics to form the Overlord's nineteen-spear tactics. With this spear technique, he defeated Tai Shici and regained this super fierce general.

"Okay!"

Sun Ce's marksmanship has been passed on to many people, and the only one who learned it from women is his beloved sister, Sun Shangxiang. He sat down and said with a smile, "Let my brother see how much essence you have learned!"

"okay!"

Sun Shangxiang immediately opened up the battle, her silver spear was slightly lighter, the same spear technique, but in her hands, it had a different style, Sun Ce was fierce, but she looked elegant.

However, she is also very proficient in Bawang's Nineteen Spear moves. The twelve moves are done in one go, and the movements are elegant, like a fluttering dance.

"Not bad!"

Sun Ce praised and said: "Although it lacks fierceness, it has a bit more treacherous killing. If it is on the battlefield, it is not enough, but if it is a single fight, there are few opponents!"

"Thank you brother for your praise!"

Sun Shangxiang said happily.

"Xiangxiang, are you still blaming your brother?" Sun Ce asked suddenly.

Sun Shangxiang fell silent when she heard the words, and her bright eyes were a little bit sad. After a while, she opened her mouth: "Born in the Sun family, I should be responsible. My brother loves Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang knows that my father wanted to get married at the beginning. Elder brother would rather disobey his father's orders than respect him, but now he is the king of Wu, and he has to be responsible for the people of Liming in Jiangdong. Marriage with the king of Wei is the policy of our country of Wu. !"

Wu Guo and the Central Plains, even if they are in an alliance, there will be thousands of mountains and rivers between them, and there will be times when they will turn their faces in the future. Marriage is a temporary solution, but the two parties in the marriage are husband and wife, a couple who will live a lifetime.

If he turns his face in the future.

She, Sun Shangxiang, will have a hard time in the Cao family, and she will even be treated as a threat. At that time, she will die.

She knows all this.

At first she was unwilling, but after her father died in battle, she let it go. She knew that her brother was also unwilling, but who made them belong to the Wu royal family, and their responsibilities were as high as heaven.
