The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 371
The more than a hundred soldiers were sent out of the barracks in the city after putting on dry or damp clothes. After all, they couldn't be allowed to wear Taiping Army clothes, right?
By releasing these hundred soldiers and Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Guo Jia was giving Liu Bei and Sun Quan a favor.

Killing more than a hundred people is nothing to Liu Bei, but letting them go is a kindness.

Even if Zhuge Liang and Lu Su do not want to serve Guo Jia, house arrest seems like a good choice.

But Guo Jia still had intentions in letting them go, and it was a last resort to let Lu Su go, and it wasn't time to start a war with Jiangdong.Letting Zhuge Liang go is to let Liu Bei continue to be Guo Jia's pawn.

Walking out of the city towards the river, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong walked side by side. Lu Su had long been famous for Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cubs. Presumably the pair of senior brothers wanted to reminisce about the old days, so they took a step ahead without disturbing them, and distanced themselves from them.

It was freezing cold and the north wind was icy.

Zhuge Liang never thought that when he saw Pang Tong again, he would be in such a situation.

Ten years ago, Pang Tong went to Chang'an alone to join Guo Jia.

Ten years later, Pang Tong was able to be taken by Guo Jia's side to go out with the army, which has already explained Pang Tong's status in Guo Jia's group.

And Zhuge Liang chanted with his knees in Longzhong for more than ten years, so what if an Uncle Liu Huang came who visited the thatched cottage three times?
Clothes fluttering, Pang Tong's face is ugly, but he has a good momentum, indifferent and calm with unusual majesty.

"Kong Ming, where did Fu Long, who used to compare himself to wind music, go?"

Pang Tong's tone was indifferent, not necessarily sarcasm, but a little bit of a sigh.

Jingzhou, let’s say goodbye for ten years!
Pang Tong has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

He is back!

Where have all those Jingxiang celebrities who chanted the wind and played the moon gone?

Escaped, surrendered, and became a man with his tail between his legs!
And he, Pang Tong, is alive and powerful, who would dare to underestimate him?

Zhuge Liang laughed at himself.

Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi, does Liu Bei have the prestige of Duke Huan of Qi's vassal soldiers and horses?No!Then he is not as good as Guan Zhong!

Le Yi, help the Yan Kingdom regain its lost territory and conquer more than [-] cities!Does Liu Bei have soldiers and horses to let Zhuge Liang kill the Quartet and sweep the world?No!That Zhuge Liang is not as good as Le Yi!
"Could it be that Shi Yuan forgot the result of the Chu-Han dispute?"

Zhuge Liang said softly.

Pang Tong laughed out loud, echoing for a long time.

"Kong Ming, if you compare my lord to the overlord and Liu Bei to the great ancestor, then you are a hundred times more arrogant than you were back then! In today's world, it is still unknown who will die. But I know that Liu Bei will never have a chance to rise. There is no place for him to stand."

Zhuge Liang can’t be chic even if he wants to be chic. Last year when he was a couple in Longzhong, he expected that Guo Jia would focus his strategy on the north, but he was wrong. He lost all his mistakes.

Silently walking to the riverside, Lu Su and more than a hundred soldiers had already boarded the boat. Before parting, Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang indifferently, and said softly: "Kong Ming, although I despise your arrogance and hypocrisy, I must admit your arrogance. Talent. My Lord appreciates you. This is your opportunity. Listen to me, come and serve my Lord. In ten years, the world will be settled. At that time, you will be in the prime of life, and you will have countless years to show what you have learned , use ten, 20, 30 years of time to assist our Lord to create a prosperous world, which is enough to last forever and be famous forever."

Zhuge Liang stared at Pang Tong, who looked indifferent, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, turned and walked towards the boat.

The river is surging, the boats are going down the river, and the figure of Pang Tong standing on the bank is getting farther and farther away. Zhuge Liang raised his head and closed his eyes, his handsome face was full of determination.

Perhaps, in this world, if Guo Jia came to be the emperor, he would be better than any hero in this world.

Calm down, the heart is like stagnant water, Zhuge Liang's thinking jumped out of the situation, and he was suddenly startled.

Looking at Jiangling City, which was beginning to be hazy and misty in his sight, Zhuge Liang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

Everyone in the world was deceived by Guo Jia!
Kill Cao? !
Going straight down the river, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su parted ways. Zhuge Liang had no way to take out the [-] arrows agreed upon earlier, so he stopped thinking about going to Jiangdong for help. Do useless work.

After Lu Su returned to the Chibi camp, he met Sun Quan in a panic.

Inform Sun Quan and Zhou Yu of the previous events one by one, this time, both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were stunned.

Zhou Yu even asked Lu Su in disbelief: "Zijing, Zhuge Kongming thought he was clever enough to borrow arrows from a straw boat. Why are you joining in the fun? Now, you were captured by Guo Jia and sent back. This is simply Guo Jia beating up the lord." Slap!"

Lu Su was so ashamed that he repeatedly pleaded guilty.

Sun Quan's face was slightly angry. Zhou Yu's words sounded ugly, but they were right.

On the one hand, Jiang Dong maintained friendship with Guo Jia, and on the other hand, Guo Jia seized the opportunity to fight against him with Liu Bei's alliance.

Guo Jia didn't use Lu Su to prosecute the teacher, but let him back. Isn't this a resounding slap in the face?
Ugh

Sun Quan sighed heavily.

Lu Su's original intention must have been for Jiang Dong's sake, to see what kind of conspiracy Zhuge Liang was up to, but unexpectedly he lost himself in it.

It's a done deal, it's a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much you blame it, it won't help.

By mistake, Lu Su did not return without success, at least he brought back a piece of news.

"My lord, I heard the news in Jiangling that the guard of Changsha County has blatantly voted for Guo Jia!"

As soon as Lu Su finished speaking, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were shocked again.

Who Wei Yan is, they don't know, and they don't care.

The key is Wei Yan's identity!

Changsha defender!

For shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it doesn't matter whether they surrender or not, but how can the person who can be received by Guo Jia be a small person?
Lu Su can conclude that Wei Yan's joining Guo Jia will inevitably affect the fate of the entire Changsha.

Sun Quan closed his eyes with a heavy look and remained silent.

Guo Jia wanted to drive Liu Bei out of Jingzhou, even if Liu Bei fought to the death, he would not be able to stop him. According to Liu Bei's previous style, he would definitely flee. Where would he flee?
Guo Jia took over Jiangxia and then took over Changsha, which directly threatened Jiangdong!
At this time, Sun Quan suddenly opened his eyes, and his clear pupils burst out with unquestionable determination.

"Zijing, write a letter to Guo Jia for me. I intend to marry my sister-in-law to him. The two families will form a friendship between Qin and Jin and live in peace."

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, and they both saw each other's shock.

"My lord, Guo Jia has many wives and concubines, and they are nearly forty years old. This"

Lu Su said in embarrassment.

The reason is very simple, Sun Quan's younger sister is also a concubine when she marries Guo Jia, the age difference is negligible, politicians only consider political interests, even if Guo Jia is [-] or [-], Sun Quan will not hesitate.

The key point is the weight of this marriage!

"Hey, Zijing, I agree with the lord. If Guo Jia refuses, then I, Jiangdong, can use this as an excuse to draw a clear line with him. The previous covenant is void, and when Guo Jia conquers Cao Wei in the north, he will attack Jingzhou. If Guo Jia agrees, Then let Guo Jia personally go to Jianye to marry the young lady, if he can kill her, he will kill her, if not, then the two families will get married, at least Guo Jia can't ignore this relationship and have evil intentions towards Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu firmly supported the marriage between Sun Quan and Guo Jia.

As for the personal happiness of Sun Shangxiang, the younger sister of the Sun family, no one cared at all.

"Kill? If something happens to Guo Jia in Jiangdong, wouldn't the Taiping Army flatten Jiangdong like crazy?"

Lu Su agreed with [-]% of Zhou Yu's views, but said that killing Guo Jia did not agree, it was too risky!

Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said, "Even if Guo Jia's soldiers in Jiangling want to avenge him and come to Jiangdong regardless of everything, Zijing must not forget that there are still Cao Ren's 10,000 troops in Fancheng! If the Taiping Army in Jiangling moves, will Cao Ren think so?" Miss this god-given opportunity? Together with our Jiangdong and Cao Ren's [-] soldiers and horses attacking back and forth, the Taiping Army's [-]+ soldiers and horses in Jingzhou will definitely be wiped out!"

The words are good and sound reasonable.

But after Lu Su thought about it, he didn't see where Jiangdong's interests were?Offending a Guo Jia, Jingzhou will still belong to Cao Wei at that time, and Jiangdong is busy for a long time to marry others.

Zhou Yu went on to say: "If the situation really develops like this, the Taiping Army in Yizhou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou will definitely start a life-and-death battle with Cao Wei, and I, Jiangdong, can take the opportunity to rest and recuperate. Sweep through Jingzhou first, then enter Sichuan and Shu, and unify the south."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up. Before he wanted to get married with Guo Jia, he didn't think so much. He just wanted to use this relationship in exchange for Jiangdong's safety. Now, after hearing Zhou Yu's words, it seems that this strategy is feasible and has many benefits. great potential benefits.

Lu Su still disagreed.

In the final analysis, this is Zhou Yu's wishful thinking, and there are too many variables.

What if Cao Wei doesn't send troops?

Now Cao Wei doesn't know what happened to Cao Wei after Cao Cao's death.

However, Sun Quan had already made up his mind, no matter whether he killed Guo Jia or not, the marriage must be carried out first.

After Jiangdong's letter arrived in Jiangling, Guo Jia was frightened.

Even at this age, Yanfu will come to your door?

When the generals in Jiangling heard that Sun Quan wanted to marry his younger sister to Guo Jia, they immediately laughed and discussed.

"My lord, this Sun Quan wants to send a younger sister to the lord, so I will give it away, and the lord will accept it, but if she is ugly, then I will return it." After Xu Chu finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

But Gan Ning spoke out against it.

"My lord, this Sun Quan is uneasy and kind. If my lord marries Sun Quan's younger sister, won't my lord become Sun Quan's brother-in-law? How can this be done? He, Sun Quan, thinks highly of himself too, so he will object in the end."

As soon as Gan Ning's words fell, the surrounding generals also came to their senses.

This is not Guo Jia just marrying the younger sister of an official under his command, but the younger sister of a prince.

Guo Jian was nearly forty years old, and Sun Quan was not yet thirty, so Guo Jia went to be Sun Quan's brother-in-law, and it was fine.

But Gan Ning followed Guo Jia and had a little relationship with Sun Jian in Changsha.

At that time, both of them were discussing friendship with Sun Jian in the same generation, and Sun Jian even tried to recruit them but failed.

Guo Jia was Sun Quan's elder in seniority, which suddenly made Guo Jia and Sun Quan equal in generation. Gan Ning felt that this was simply lowering his status and being humiliated.

There was a commotion in the hall, and the generals unanimously suggested that Guo Jia should not marry Sun Quan's sister.

"Noisy and noisy, what's the etiquette?"

Guo Jia asked with a smile, and the generals went back to line up, and then remained silent.

It seems that Guo Jia has made a decision.

"Wen He, help me to write a letter to Marquis Wu, inviting him to meet him on the river outside Jiangling."
