Chapter 60: Mission (II)

As soon as the Eastern Wu said this, he saw Sun Shangxiang in a daze in the original place. He looked at it for a while before asking him: "What is Uncle Liu asking you to go to Eastern Wu?"

Xue Bing said: "The lord wanted to join forces with the Eastern Wu, and wanted to make an appointment with the date and launch a large army to fight against Cao Cao. Therefore, I asked me to Wang Jiangdong and his party to discuss this matter with the Marquis of Wu!"

When Sun Shangxiang heard this, he smiled and said, "I just asked you, the general, to be an envoy? But what's the reason?"

Xue Bing smiled and said, "I'm thankful for this job. Otherwise, I won't be able to get on my head."

After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang thought for a while before saying, "It must be that the emperor thought that I was the sister of the Marquis of Wu, and you were the son-in-law of Wu, so he asked you to go."

Xue Bing smiled and said, "That's right!" After saying that, he paused and said, "This trip is not dangerous. I want to take you with you so that you can go back to visit your family."

After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang jumped up and said happily: "Is your words true?"

Xue Bing smiled and pulled Sun Shangxiang back and said, "Have I ever lied to you? Let's take a break now, clean up tomorrow, and take two children to Jiangdong together."

When Sun Shangxiang heard this, she felt even more happy. She suddenly hugged Xue Bing and kissed her fiercely, and kept Xue Bing there in a daze. When Sun Shangxiang jumped off the couch, she ran out and clamored to prepare a table of food and food for him. Then she realized that she had been attacked.

Touching the place where he had just been kissed, Xue Bing felt sweet in his heart. Looking at the door, Sun Shangxiang's shadow was gone, so he got up and took off his armor.

At this moment, a sound of "Ah! Ah!" came from the couch. When he turned around, the little girl Xue Qing woke up and stretched out her hand to him, shouting non-stop. However, this little thing could not say anything except "Ah! Ah". Xue Bing hung up the armor, then walked to the couch, picked up her daughter, and said, "Qing'er! Don't you think I'm?" As he said, teasing the child in his arms.

Just as he was teasing, he suddenly found that there were still eyes on the couch looking at him. He looked at him for a while, and then he seemed to remember something, "Wow!" and cried out. When Xue Bing saw it, he quickly put his daughter down and hugged his son. However, as soon as he put down his daughter, his daughter cried. Putting down his son, the son also cried, so he had to carry all the two treasures and sit foolishly beside the couch, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the military advisor Zhuge arrived, Xue Bing couldn't let go, and Sun Shangxiang didn't know where he ran, so he had to carry two kids out to pick up Zhuge Liang.

When he arrived at the hall, he met Zhuge Liang and greeted each other. When Zhuge Liang saw Xue Bing holding the two children, he came out, and was slightly stunned and smiled and said, "Is this Zihan?"

Xue Bing said: "The two sons cried together and could not get rid of themselves! They could not do it. Please don't blame the military advisor."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's okay! It's okay!" After saying that, he smiled with a feather fan covering his mouth.

Xue Bing said, "Mr. Kong Ming came to make fun of Bing?" As he said that, he asked Zhuge Liang to sit down, and he sat down opposite Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said, "Zi Han will be on a mission to Jiangdong tomorrow, and Liang will come to see you off." After saying that, he looked directly at Xue Bing. Xue Bing looked at Zhuge Liang for a while, and then said, "What instructions does the military advisor have?" Zhuge Liang said, "Has Zi Han been going here, ever thought about how to convince Sun Quan?"

Xue Bing said: "I never thought about it!"

Zhuge Liang was stunned and asked, "I heard what Zihan said before in front of his lord, and he said he had already made a statement!"

Xue Bing smiled and said, "How could I say anything? I thought my lord had expected that, so he sent a deputy envoy to accompany me."

Zhuge Liang said: "Zihan is very lazy! I think you have made up your mind to leave the matter to Zishe, right?"

When Xue Bing heard this, she smiled and said without saying a word. Zhuge Liang said again: "This is not possible. Zi Han can take his wife with him on this trip, and go straight to Jiangdong in the name of accompanying his wife home to visit relatives, so that Qin Mi can secretly persuade Sun Quan to form an alliance with me. This can be hidden from Cao Cao for a while." Xue Bing nodded constantly after hearing this.

While the two were right, Sun Shangxiang led his maid and came in with wine and food, and said as he walked: "Husband, eat some wine and food first, and then have a good rest. Let's go back to Jiangdong together tomorrow!"

Xue Bing heard it but nothing happened. Zhuge Liang was stunned again when he heard it and said to Xue Bing with a smile: "It turns out that Zihan has already thought of a countermeasure, but Liang is such a waste!" Xue Bing knew that Zhuge Liang had misunderstood, but he didn't want to explain.

Sun Shangxiang had already entered the hall at this time. Seeing Zhuge Liang there, he politely said, "I don't know that the military advisor has arrived, and I am abrupt!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's okay! It's okay!" At this point, he actually laughed out. Seeing Xue Bing's face strange, he said, "I saw you and your wife today. The word "It's okay," but I said the most."

After Zhuge Liang said this, Xue Bing also reacted and said with a smile: "It's okay! It's okay! The military advisor wants to say it a few times, so he will say it a few times!" After saying that, he looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled. Only Sun Shangxiang didn't understand what the two were saying, so he could only say: "After the military advisor arrived, why not stay and drink with him?" Zhuge Liang looked at the two of them, and saw that Sun Shangxiang looked reluctant, so he smiled and said, "I still have something important to do, so I'll leave!" So he said goodbye to Xue Bing and left the mansion.

Sun Shangxiang and Xue Bing went out of the door and then turned around. Only then did Sun Shangxiang noticed that Xue Bing was still holding the child in her hand and asked, "Why did you come out with the child in your arms?"

Xue Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I want to hold it? But as soon as I let go, the child cried!"

Sun Shangxiang said, "Why haven't I met you?" So he took the child over. Seeing that he was crying, he cried non-stop no matter how he coaxed him. He couldn't, so he had to let Xue Bing continue to hold him. However, this made Xue Bing enjoy it well. Xue Bing, who couldn't move his hands during the meal, had to ask Sun Shangxiang to feed him...

He walked down the river, rushed to Jingzhou first, and then to Dongwu. Xue Bing took his wife, children, and led more than a hundred personal guards back to his parents' home in a mighty manner.

However, the negotiations involved the three counties in Jingnan. Therefore, we had to go to Jingzhou first and say hello to Guan Yu, so as not to refuse to give up the three counties in the future, resulting in cracks in the alliance between the two sides.

After more than a month of traveling, the boat finally arrived in Jingzhou. Xu Shu had received the news that Xue Bing was about to go to the Eastern Wu and wanted to stay in Jingzhou for several days. He sent people to watch the riverside. When Xue Bing arrived, he took him into the city.

Xue Bing asked someone to arrange his wife first, and then went straight to see Guan Yu. Xu Shu was also there, so Xue Bing asked the lord to unite with the Eastern Wu to send troops to Yangzhou to hold Cao Cao. After personally sending troops to Hanzhong, he took down all the lands of Dongchuan.

Guan Yu heard this and said, "If my brother wants to take Hanzhong, he just needs to send troops. Why do you have to join forces with the Eastern Wu? The land of these three counties is for free, and I am not willing to give it to him. It is better for me to write a letter and report it to my brother and ask him to take it back. It is better for me to lead troops out of Xiangyang and attack Fancheng. It can also be told that Cao Cao cannot advance westward."

Before Xue Bing could speak, Xu Shu said first: "No! If the two generals send troops easily, they will easily be taken advantage of by the Eastern Wu. At that time, they are afraid that the land of Jingxiang will be fully in the hands of others."

Guan Yu said, "What are you afraid of? I think Jiangdong is not afraid to invade our territory, so I asked Mr. Yuanzhi to guard Jiangling, and he led his troops to attack Cao Cao."

Xue Bing listened and thought to himself: "This Guan Yu is indeed arrogant! There are only tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and he dares to challenge the two princes of Cao Cao and Sun Quan!" He had to say to Guan Yu on the side: "Please send troops from Eastern Wu to ask Cao Cao to concentrate all his troops to the east, which makes him unable to react in a short time. If General Guan's troops leave Xiangyang, Cao Cao will lead the army to fight the general. Although he cannot take care of Hanzhong, Hanzhong is closer to Yangzhou because Hanzhong is close to this. If Cao Cao hears the news, he will definitely

He responded in a short time, and there would be many changes in the battle of Hanzhong at that time." Speaking of this, he looked at Guan Yu and saw that he was not displeased. He continued: "The lord first obtained Jingyi and his strength was not as strong as Cao Cao after all. If this battle lasted for a long time and damaged his vitality, he would not be able to recover in a short time. Therefore, the military advisor Zhuge also proposed to join forces with the Eastern Wu and ask him to help him with his lord. In this way, he could retain his strength and expand the territory. This is actually the best strategy."

Speaking of this, Xue Bing looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, and there were only Guan Yu and Xu Shu around him, and then whispered: "The two generals think that Dongwu is my lifelong ally? No, at this time, both of us and us are weak. If we are united, we can resist Cao Cao together. If we divide, we will be destroyed. However, after all, it is not a long-term alliance. Not to mention defeating Cao Cao, even if the lord's power is stronger, Dongwu will no longer sit idly by. At that time, a great war will surely be born. The Duke can lead the army to enter, and the generals in Jiangdong only take all the lands, so why should we care about the gains and losses of these three counties at the moment?"

Guan Yu chuckled when he heard this, and nodded without saying a word. Seeing him like this, Xue Bing agreed to this, so he continued: "Since that's the case, the two generals can first prepare for the settlement. When Bing arrives at Jiangdong and discusses with the Marquis of Wu, he will hand it over to Guiyang County to Dongwu, and wait for the lord to take all the land in Hanzhong, and then hand it over to the other two counties."

Guan Yu heard this and said, "Zi Han said so much, so he temporarily stored these three counties at Sun Quan. When he waited for it in the future, he would go to pick it up in person."

When Xue Bing saw that he convinced Guan Yu, he let out a long sigh. He turned his head and saw Xu Shu nodding and smiling at him, as if he was praising him. He said to himself: "Good you Xu Yuanzhi, I have been siping so much here, but I don't know how to help him." He was angry and rolled his eyes at Xu Shu.

Then, the three of them had a good idea of ​​how to garrison after giving up Changsha, and how should the soldiers be arranged? However, Xue Bing was not interested in these things, so he just sat aside and watched Guan Yu and Xu Shu, pointing at the map and talking nonstop. In Xue Bing's view, it is completely unnecessary to discuss these things now. Jingzhou's defense against Wu should still be Jiangling, and the surrounding defenses should be centered on Jiangling. However, after giving up the three counties, Wuling should become a new frontline base, so that when the three southern counties are recaptured in the future, they can react in the shortest time.
