The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 78 Lu Meng
Lu Meng is of medium build and not tall, but he is very capable. Standing there quietly gives people a breathless coercion. The two sharp eyes are like sharp arrows, making people afraid to meet them.There is a faint scar on the tip of the right eyebrow, adding a bit of murderous aura.

"Zhong Si came so fast." Seeing Zhang Cheng, Lu Meng greeted him with a smile, and bowed his hands in salute. Zhang Cheng hurriedly returned the salute: "Your Majesty is busy with military affairs, what virtue can you do, how dare you greet him personally."

Lu Meng grinned at the corner of his mouth, and smiled silently: "No way. Your father has the meaning of supporting me, and Zhong Si has a half-teacher's affection for me. How dare I trust you, and make people laugh. Please, Zhong Si."

Zhang Cheng smiled modestly and motioned: "Your Majesty, this is the deputy envoy, Colonel Sun Shao."

Lu Meng glanced at the smiling Sun Shao, and his eyes met with Sun Shao's.When Sun Shao saw famous people in history, of course he had to pay more attention, but he was suppressed by Lu Meng's murderous aura, and he was a little cautious. Lu Meng smiled lightly, and then moved his eyes away, as if he didn't see Sun Shao.

A wave of anger welled up in my heart.Sun Shao's face darkened, and he was about to get angry, but then he recalled, why bother, what kind of anger did he get.You are the school lieutenant based on your kinship, and you are credited with killing with one knife and one shot. It is normal to look down on you.

Although Zhang Cheng was chatting with Lu Meng, he could clearly see the change in Sun Shao's face. Seeing that Sun Shao was able to restrain his anger and did not argue with Lu Meng, he was quite appreciative, but Sun Shao was a male clan after all, and It was the envoy sent by Sun Quan. It was really inappropriate for Lu Meng to ignore him like this. He was hesitating how to ease the atmosphere, but Sun Shao shook his head with a smile, indicating that he needn't be troublesome.Zhang Cheng thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

Lu Meng saw their expressions, but didn't say a word.In his eyes, there was only Sun Quan and no one else, not to mention a hopeless public clan like Sun Shao, even Sun Jiao and others who held a heavy army, he didn't pay attention to them.So I just pretended I didn't see it, left Sun Shao aside, and just led Zhang Cheng to sit in the tent that had been arranged.The host and guest sat down separately, and all the other people withdrew to leave. Only Sun Shao quietly sat aside and listened.

"Zhongsi, what's the matter with going to Nanjun?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "Yes, the Supreme Commander ordered me to propose marriage to Guan Yu."

"Marriage proposal?" Lu Meng stopped holding the cup, and looked at Zhang Cheng in disbelief: "What kind of marriage proposal?"

"Propose marriage to Guan Yu's daughter for son Deng."

"And." Lu Meng sighed deeply: "Who came up with this idea?"

Zhang Cheng said calmly, "Do you think it's wrong?"

"Liu Bei's monarch and his ministers live in the upper reaches, and they have the intention of merging. Is it possible to feel at ease just by marrying? Mrs. Sun's affairs are not far away, why repeat the same mistakes?" Lu Meng shook his head again and again, appearing extremely disdainful.He took a sip of wine, and then said: "Guan Yu is a hero and Liu Bei's confidant. His status is unusual. If his daughter marries to Jiangdong, she must be the main wife. In the future, the son will be the prince, and she will be the crown prince. If she ascends to the great position, she will be the mother of the country, so how can she not be afraid of war between the two countries in the future?"

"What about the Lord's opinion?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Cut out such thoughts, sharpen your troops, fight Guan Yu, and seize Jingzhou, except for this confidant." Lu Meng waved his hand and said indisputably: "Rather than counting on marriage, it is better to pull out this thorn cleanly. Come thoroughly, so as not to regret it in the future."

Sun Shao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Meng was furious, he turned his head to stare at Sun Shao, and snorted, very dissatisfied with Sun Shao's attitude: "Does Sun Jun have any good ideas?"

Sun Shao shook his head: "Sun Shao is just a child, how can he know the important affairs of his family and country, how dare he speak to the high opinion of the Fujun, it's just that he feels it occasionally."

Lu Meng became even more angry. When Sun Shao said this, it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously. Not only did he not take what he said, but he even disdain to argue, which made people even more irritated.Lu Meng looked down on Sun Shao from the bottom of his heart. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he fought with his brother-in-law Deng Dang and served as Sun Ce's personal guard.Of course, what kind of hero Sun Ce is, why did he give birth to such a son, he is dead, and has never been to the battlefield, but because he is a male family, he got a school lieutenant.That's all right, Lu Meng also knew some of Sun Quan's suppression of him, but what made Lu Meng look down on him was that Sun Shao actually went into business, relying on the power of the public clan to operate exclusively and make huge profits.He vaguely heard some news that Sun Shao specialized in new wine in a dozen counties, earning hundreds of gold a year, which can be said to be higher than that of a heavy general who has been fighting for many years.

Lu Meng couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or contempt, but he didn't like Sun Shao, and now that Sun Shao had such an attitude, he was even more unhappy.Seeing that Sun Shao didn't answer his words, he snorted with a half-smile:
"Although Sun Jun is young, he is a hero. His father-in-law led the army at the age of 17. How could anyone dare to despise him? Sun Jun, don't worry, as long as he speaks the truth, although Lu Meng is a bit older, It’s still quite accommodating.”

Zhang Cheng remained silent, watching how Sun Shao would deal with Lu Meng.

Sun Shao raised his eyelids and smiled at the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Lu Meng, seemingly humble, but in Lu Meng's eyes, that expression was more provocative. He was angry in his heart, but it was not easy to explode, so he could only silently sneer and watch. Sun Shao.

Sun Shao secretly sighed.It was so easy to see a famous person whom I was familiar with, but I didn't expect to meet him. This Lu Meng seemed to have a natural dislike for him.That being the case, then don't expect to get along well, anyway, this guy can't do him any favors, let's talk about it first, so that Uncle Sun Quan can rest assured.

"Your Fu thinks it's a battle, but you don't know what your chances are of winning against Guan Yu?" Sun Shao straightened up, allowing the inexplicable anger in his heart to be released, and the humble expression just now was gone.Not only Zhang Cheng felt a little surprised, but even Lu Meng was speechless for a while.It is difficult for him to answer this question, because it is Lu Su who is confronting Guan Yu now. If he says he is confident, does that mean that Lu Su is incompetent?

Sun Shao drank a glass of wine slowly, and asked again: "What are the chances of winning the Fujun against Cao Cao?"

Lu Meng frowned even tighter, holding the cup firmly in his hand, staring at Sun Shao, as if he was about to spew fire.Cao Cao's army was approaching, and he was preparing to move to the vicinity of Jianye to participate in the battle. At this time, Sun Shao asked him this question. If he didn't answer well, he might fall into the shoes of others.If you want to say that you are sure, well, the big battle is coming, it depends on your performance.As long as Sun Shao passes the words back to Jianye, the other generals will definitely have opinions on him. You can fight alone.If you said you were not sure, wouldn't you slap yourself in the face?Since you are not sure about dealing with Cao Jun, aren't you bullying the weak and fearing the hard?Only dare to take the knife on your own allies?

"With the strength of the Fujun, how confident are you to go upstream and take Yizhou?" Sun Shao asked.

Lu Meng simply didn't answer.

"Your Majesty thinks, if Guan Yu and Cao Cao attack at the same time, what chance does Jiangdong have of surviving?" Sun Shao asked persistently.

Veins on Lu Meng's forehead popped out, and his eyes became more fierce.Sun Shao is so hateful, he only picks these questions that he can't answer, which makes him extremely embarrassed, but his attitude is very gentle, so he can't find an excuse to attack.It was with great difficulty that he suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked with a smirk:

"The school captain thought that marrying Guan Yu would last for a long time?"
