Wu Fan hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully:

"The beautiful posture is very good, and the sword skills are exquisite, so it is a rare best woman."

“Hahahahahahaha…”

After hearing this, Sun Jian burst into laughter happily. The other Wu ministers looked at each other, and their faces were full of joy.

Sun Jian, who was born in a military general, had a sense of boldness in his bones. Seeing Wu Fan admired his daughter so much, he was happy and stopped hiding it straight to the point:

"Because of Governor Wu's high praise for his little girl, and the ministers of Jiangdongwu are all listed here. Next, I suggest that the ministers should testify to marry Governor Shang Xiang to Governor Wu for a hundred years. What does Governor Wu think?"

As Sun Jian said this, the Wu ministers in the hall immediately stopped joking and turned their heads to look at Wu Fan. While holding their breath, the scene suddenly became extremely quiet, and almost a needle could be heard.

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Fan finally understood his confusion before: It turned out that the real purpose of this banquet was to marry him and Sun Shangxiang.

Why is Sun Jian so anxious to marry his daughter to himself?

After Wu Fan understood, this was the first question that came to mind.

Looking around the expected gaze of the Sun family ministers looking at him, Wu Fan felt that he had guessed the reason: it must be related to the vital interests of these ministers.

Let’s think about my mission on this trip: persuading surrender.

Then, the vital interests that these ministers are worried about are nothing more than whether they can live a lifetime after surrendering to Cao.

In this way, the reason why Sun Jian wanted to marry his daughter to himself was to make the ministers in Jiangdong rely on through his political marriage with the Sun family.

After deducing this, Wu Fanxin suddenly realized: No wonder Sun Jian was so hasty and hasty in dealing with his daughter's marriage despite the etiquette of the princes. He had to determine the marriage first before he could agree to surrender to Cao. If he refused, or if the marriage could not be settled, Sun Jian would hesitate about surrendering to Cao.

After thinking about this, Wu Fan looked around everyone again, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Although Sun Shangxiang's appearance is not as beautiful as Diao Chan, she is also a beauty that is hard to find in thousands of miles away. Her charm is 96 points, only a little lower than Xiao Qiao, and she also has the lethality of all living beings.

No normal men don’t like beautiful women, let alone Wu Fan’s ability is very strong, so he will naturally not be weak in the beauty.

However, there are two premises.

1. It will not destroy your already very stable family.

2. This is a new condition for joining. It only took a few days to affect Xiao Qiao.

The first premise is that although Wu Fan has been fighting all year round, he has been serving as the prefect of various cities, and has been in contact with many maids and maids. However, Wu Fan is very restrained. Until now, Wu Fan has moved into the prefect of fifteen cities, and there are at least thousands of maids and maids who have been in contact with, but Wu Fan has only had relationships with the five of them. All of these five women are beauties, with all the charms above 85. Afterwards, Wu Fan gave them hundreds of taels of gold as compensation and asked the other party to keep secrets strictly to prevent the wind from leaking and even the fire in the backyard of his home.

The second premise is to talk about Wu Fan's personal feelings. At present, Wu Fan already has three wives, and Wu Fan is very satisfied with these three wives and basically achieves a balance. However, Xiao Qiao's appearance made Wu Fan's feelings tilt. When he was with Xiao Qiao, Wu Fan had a special feeling, because Xiao Qiao and him had too many common languages ​​and came from the same world. Therefore, Wu Fan's feelings for Xiao Qiao naturally became deeper, so that he subconsciously added another premise for Xiao Qiao on the issue of female sex.

Judging from these two premises, if I promised Sun Jian immediately, my three wives would not have much complaints. After all, they were born in this era and were used to the social situation where men were superior to women, and they were not ordinary people. It is normal for a few more wives to marry. Moreover, this marriage was to successfully accept Jiangdong, and they would not object to it in terms of emotion or reason.

However, Xiao Qiao is hard to say.

It is very likely that he learned that he had married Sun Shangxiang, especially when he just said he wanted to marry her in the morning, but it was like this in a few hours. Xiao Qiao would definitely not accept it in obediently. It is even impossible to have a falling out with him directly for this.

Alas, once a woman's status is improved and her thoughts are liberated, it will be really troublesome.

At least it will prevent the man from hugging him without any scruples.

Wu Fan sighed inwardly.

However, even so, Wu Fan could not completely reject Sun Jian's proposal of media. The reason is that first, this is related to whether he can obtain Jiangdong without any effort, as well as many capable ministers under Sun Jian. Secondly, as mentioned above, no normal man does not like beauty.

Based on these two reasons, Wu Fan decided to take a roundabout strategy: he must not agree to this marriage in person, but will be decided by others. Moreover, the power of this "other person" must be above him, which makes outsiders seem to have an effect that they have to do. Only in this way can Xiao Qiao be preserved.

As for who is this "other person"? Obviously, Cao Cao is the most suitable person to search for all the candidates in this world.

So, Wu Fan's eyes looked around the ministers twice, and finally fell on Sun Jian, bowing indifferently:

"I am grateful for your kindness. However, this matter is very sudden, and you and I are at war at any time. Therefore, I am not able to give you an immediate reply, and I need to go back and report it to my elder brother."

What Wu Fan was thinking, Sun Jian and his ministers naturally didn't know. In this sentence alone, a large number of people even mistakenly thought that Wu Fan disagreed with this marriage, and "going back to report to the elder brother" was just an excuse, and it was true to use this to leave the city.

Therefore, after hearing Wu Fan say this, everyone looked at each other and the atmosphere suddenly became cold and quiet.

After hearing Wu Fan's words, Sun Jian had no expression. Although he was very disappointed, he had already put his attitude to the lowest point. If he showed the disappointment in his heart, he would seem too low.

But Wu Fan had no need to wait until Sun Jian made some statement before speaking. After pausing, Wu Fan continued:

"This matter should not be delayed, so let's leave here for a while. As for the banquet, the future will be long, so I'll have a happy drink with you."

After saying that, Wu Fan stood up directly, fisted Sun Jian and the ministers of Jiangdong, and then walked towards the palace gate.

When Wu Fan held his fists to greet him, only a few of the ministers in Jiangdong, including Sun Jian, reacted and returned the greeting with Wu Fan. Most of the others were confused and didn't know what to do next. It was not until Wu Fan got up and walked towards the palace gate that everyone came to their senses.

So, when Wu Fan was about to arrive at the hall gate, someone suddenly shouted:

"Wu Fan, you can deceive others with this trick, but you can't deceive me."

The effect of this voice was like a huge rock suddenly thrown into a calm lake, which shocked everyone here. He called the other person's name directly. In ancient times, it was a great disrespect to people. Unless the relationship between them was already in a life-and-death state, he could not be called this.

Like everyone else, Wu Fan also turned his head and looked in the voice. The person was Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway. Chongjia always thought that Yuan Shu's word "六文" was very good. It can be seen that Yuan Shu's father's vision was very forward-looking. He made this term nearly two thousand years ago...

When Wu Fan saw Yuan Shu, he frowned and shook his head slightly. Yuan Shu was really not enough to make a mistake. There were so many old and important ministers here, including Sun Jian himself, who didn't say anything. What did you do if you were a guy who came over halfway through? Isn't it better to be honest and squint?

The reason why Yuan Shu was so rude to Wu Fan was nothing more than that he believed that Wu Fan would definitely not agree to this marriage and would not come back after leaving the city, and then Cao's army would be very likely to attack the city. Since that is the case, it would be better to give up and catch Wu Fan and take him as a hostage. Although doing so would directly fall out with Cao's army, Wu Fan was Cao Cao's sworn brother. In order to save Wu Fan's life, Cao Cao would definitely not dare to attack the city.

Yuan Shu is a little simple-minded and will do anything with a slap in his mind. Otherwise, in history, he would not have been rashly promoted to emperor after obtaining the jade seal.

Yuan Shu roared out, shocking everyone in the hall. Seeing that no one was moving, Yuan Shu was so anxious that he hurriedly looked at the two generals under him: Wei Yan and Ji Ling. The two of them were stunned and immediately understood, then stood up and ran to Wu Fan to block Wu Fan's way.

Wu Fan turned around and looked at Wei Yan and Ji Ling who were blocking him. Ling Li's eyes passed through the faces of the two, as if they were sharp blades, forcing them to step back involuntarily. Wu Fan followed him further and looked directly at the two and said:

"What do you two mean to block my way?"

Wei Yan and Ji Ling looked at each other, then looked at Wu Fan and nodded, then turned and shook their heads quickly.

When Wu Fan saw this, he burst into laughter.

Sun Jian, who had no words, couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly:

"Don't let you and both of you be rude, please step back quickly."

Wei Yan and Ji Ling were as if they were pardoned and hurried back to their respective seats. Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian in shock. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Jian glared at him and immediately swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Then, Sun Jian said to Wu Fan:

"I am not in good condition on my subordinates. I hope Governor Wu will be more tolerant. Since Governor Wu is going to go back and report this marriage to my elder brother, I don't want to force me to stay, so I ask Governor Wu to go and return quickly. I am here to be Jinghou Jiayin."

Sun Jian was much more comprehensive than Yuan Shu. Previously, through the descriptions of Sun Quan and others, Sun Jian believed that Wu Fan was very sincere in advising him to surrender during this trip. Then, even if Wu Fan refused to agree to the marriage, he would not go out of the city by reporting to his elder brother as an excuse to go back and report to his elder brother, and would not attack the city immediately. At most, it would only make him outside the city and less unpredictable changes.

This is better to think about it at the disadvantage.

Looking at the advantages, the Sun and Cao armies are indeed in a state of war at any time and are in an enemy camp, Wu Fan is indeed not able to agree to the marriage immediately. He should go back to report this matter to Cao Cao, and it is up to Cao Cao to determine it.

In addition, the competition between Wu Fan and Ling Tong, Ding Feng, Sun Quan and others also told Sun Jian in detail. Sun Jian was surprised and thought that the generals under his command could not catch Wu Fan at all. In that way, the matter would be completely messed up. After Wu Fan escaped from the city, Cao's army would inevitably attack the city in large numbers.

After a comprehensive analysis, Sun Jian shouted out Wei Yan and Ji Ling who were blocking the way and let Wu Fan go.

Wu Fan smiled at Sun Jian and then strode out of the main hall.

...

But Sun Shangxiang.

After walking out of the main hall, he did not leave. Instead, he stood on the side of the hall gate and listened to the movement inside.

Since everyone in the main hall praised him after Sun Shangxiang finished his sword dance, and Sun Jian asked Wu Fan at this time "How is the little girl?" Therefore, Wu Fan naturally did not hear where Sun Shangxiang stopped after walking out of the main hall, and he did not know that Sun Shangxiang heard what he said to Sun Jian.

After hearing Wu Fan say that he could not agree to this marriage and wanted to go back to report to Cao Cao, the little inferiority complex she already had made her take it for granted that Wu Fan disliked her. When he went back to report to Cao Cao, the matter was fake, and it was true that he would not come back after leaving the city.

As a result, Sun Shangxiang was very disappointed. He closed his eyes and sighed inwardly. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with tears.

Walking down the steps in a daze, Sun Shangxiang stopped for a moment and did not return to the loft where he lived alone. Instead, he walked up to the palace walls and climbed up to the distance.

At this time, Wu Fan had already rode his horse to the city gate. The moment the soldiers opened the city gate, Wu Fan turned around and looked at the palace city. He happened to see Sun Shangxiang standing alone on the palace city. The cold wind blew, and the cloak behind Sun Shangxiang was swaying in the wind, making her already slender figure look even thinner and weaker.

Wu Fan and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other from afar, and no one could see each other's eyes clearly and their moods were different.

Being on Wu Fan's side, naturally, I have a little more praise and pity for Sun Shangxiang at this time.

But Sun Shangxiang looked at Wu Fan who would never come back, looking sad and disappointed.

After the two looked around for more than ten seconds, Wu Fan turned around and rode his horse out of Jianye City.

...

To put it short, after Wu Fan returned to the military camp, he immediately came to the camp where Cao Cao was resting.

Seeing Wu Fan coming back, Cao Cao, who was leaning against the bed, quickly stood up, took Wu Fan's hand and sat by the bedside, roasted a charcoal stove, and asked about the result of this trip.

Wu Fan told Cao Cao all the time when he visited Jianye City.

Including Sun Jian's mention of the media to himself, it was the focus of this trip and told Cao Cao.

As Wu Fan expected, Cao Cao laughed and was very happy when he heard that Sun Jian had such a beautiful intention. Then he blamed Wu Fan for coming back and agreeing directly. Could it be that I, as your elder brother, still objected to you to get married and take concubines?

But I know that the reason why Wu Fan did this was a clear idea.

So he borrowed the donkey from the side, and Wu Fan asked Cao Cao to give him a military order, which required him to take Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang as his concubine and not to shirk responsibility. This gave others an illusion: Wu Fan married Sun Shangxiang because he was forced to do so under Cao Cao's military order.
