Chapter 23 Marriage
After sending Xinpi away, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu began to advise Sun Quan. Sun Quan knew that these two confidants had a lot of problems waiting for him, so he waved his hands to the two and explained:
"Zibu, Gongjin, I know that you have many questions now. I will briefly explain to you two. First, we trade with Cao Cao to tell Cao that there is so much food and grass. Because we cannot sell it to Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao does not need it, Cao Cao will buy more food and grass from Liu Biao again. He thought that Jiangdong made every effort to pacify Shanyue, and the food and grass were not sufficient. He let him relax his vigilance against us, and also made Liu Biao relax his vigilance. All food and grass can be sold. If some low-end horses are replaced, they will think that Jiangdong is a fool, so they will not be alert to us. Second, we trade with Yuan Shao on the sea, which allows Gan Ning to accumulate experience at sea and explore sea routes and prepare for our large-scale development of sea routes in the future. Once we fight with the enemy in the north, we have a sea offensive route, it will be much more convenient. Besides, it is also beneficial for us to trade with them and let them fight in the north for a while."
"My lord, we have also thought about these two points you said. Although I don't understand the negotiation method of the lord, the result is also good. I just don't know why the lord wants to trade this low-class horse with a height of about 1.3 meters long. There are two horses in my family, all of which are used to pull carts." Zhang Zhao said.
"Gongjin, what about you? Do you think the same way?" Sun Quan turned around and asked Zhou Yu after hearing Zhang Zhao's words.
"Although I am not good at cavalry, I know a little about horses. Such short horses can also be used as war horses. But I don't understand that the lord can obviously buy good horses instead of having to be off-the-shelf horses? I still have to have a mare?" Zhou Yu said.
"Then I will briefly tell you my thoughts. First, I want to stop the horse and not the best horse. I want to tell Cao Cao and Yuan Shao that I am a fool who knows nothing, so that they can rest assured that they play the piano randomly in military and national affairs; second, as Gongjin said, a low-level horse can also be used as a war horse. First, we can use these horses to train soldiers' riding skills. Although horses cannot do it, riding skills are the same. After the soldiers learn to ride, once we have a good horse, we will immediately have a strong horse.
, cavalry; thirdly, these low-quality horses are not all undesirable. They are all easier to raise and can save food and grass. I try to ask for mares. Mares have horse milk. Our soldiers squeeze some horse milk in winter. Even if they have hot water, they can still replenish nutrition. Although this low-quality horse is short, it has excellent endurance. We can arrange some targeted tactics, and then it may not be impossible to defeat the top-quality horses at that time." Sun Quan said everything he knew.
"The lord is really a god." Zhou Yu said in admiration.
"Gongjin, when did you flatter so much?" Sun Quan smiled.
"Lord, Zibu and I have never thought of what you think of. Moreover, you are so familiar with horses. You are simply a prophet. I don't know how you learned it." Zhou Yu also explained specifically.
"Lord, Gongjin said so much, and I didn't think so comprehensively." Zhang Zhao also echoed.
"You two, that's OK. I don't know how to learn it myself. I just know anyway. I'm not talking nonsense. You will know then." Sun Quan said.
Then he met the envoy from Yizhou, and after a few words, he sent it. Liu Zhang from Yizhou didn't know what threats and benefits Jiangdong had to him. Sun Quan, the envoy from Jiaozhou, also sent it at will, but he was just lying beside the bed and wanted to take it immediately. When the envoy from Jingzhou came, Sun Quan asked unhappily:
"Is Liu Jingzhou in good health?"
"Thank you for your concern, and I will be healthy." Cai Zhong, the envoy of Jingzhou, replied.
"Go back and write to your lord, take good care of your health. Never go before I catch him and pay tribute to my father's spirit." Sun Quan said viciously, and then sent Cai Zhong away.
Then there was a wedding. According to the Han rituals, everything was going on in an orderly manner. When I woke up in the morning, I first greeted him. Sun Quan had to do everything himself. Although there were many etiquettes, he could not be absent. At noon, he took the bride back to the Wuhou Mansion, and then the wedding process was held, worshiping the heaven and earth, and then marrying the prison and tying the knot. After all the etiquettes, Sun Quan had to come out to have a banquet with the guests.
At the beginning, Sun Quan knew which general was, which was Wencheng, and which clan relatives at home. They lined up to toast him. Because Sun Quan banned alcohol in the army, the generals drank a lot and tried their best to toast Sun Quan. Sun Quan was not happy to everyone's fun, so he accompanied everyone to drink. Although the concentration of alcohol in the Han Dynasty was low, there were so many people fighting in the rounds. Sun Quan was not very clear at the beginning. When he turned around and wanted to find the two followers Nian Nujiao and Chen Nian, he found that they had also drank down. These two drank a lot for him, so Sun Quan was still able to stand and was quite aware.
When Sun Quan knew that he could no longer drink with these people, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom. As soon as he returned to the backyard, he found Da Qiao waiting for him.
"Second uncle, you are married today, and my sister-in-law will have a drink with you!" Da Qiao said and drove away all the servants around him, and pulled Sun Quan to his yard. Sun Shao had already asked someone to send him to the grandma's side to sleep, and there were no one in the yard.
When Sun Quan saw that it was Da Qiao, the beauty, who was already drunk, and she had little resistance to the beauty, she followed Da Qiao and arrived at the place where Da Qiao lived. Da Qiao had already arranged the food and drinks, and pulled Sun Quan and started drinking. After drinking for less than two cups, Sun Quan forgot to learn Bu Lianzhi and started to hang out with Da Qiao. Anyway, there was one time, Sun Quan became even more courageous, and Da Qiao also deliberately delivered it to the door and started suddenly.
The next morning, Sun Quan woke up and found his head a little heavy. Fortunately, the wine was pure and natural at this time, and there was no discomfort. But when he opened his eyes, he found something was wrong. This seemed to be a wedding room with Bu Lianshi. When he saw that the woman next to him was Da Qiao, he remembered the things that happened yesterday in his heart.
Sun Quan sat up, dressed and was ready to leave, and had to go back to comfort Mr. Xiabu. He didn't accompany her on the wedding night, so he was inappropriate. When he walked to the door, he found a jade pendant fell on the ground. He picked it up and saw that it seemed to be Da Qiao's, so he turned around and came back to find Da Qiao.
"Aren't you ready to leave after you finish eating? Why are you back?" Da Qiao woke up at this time and said sourly.
"I will find a way to explain the matter between us. See if this is your jade pendant. I picked it up at the door." Sun Quan smiled helplessly and said.
"Show me, this is from my sister Xiao Qiao. One of us is given to us by my father. How could it be at the door?"
"I want to ask you this, where is the servant girl here?" Sun Quan said strangely.
"When I went to find you yesterday, I sent them out for excuses." Da Qiao said.
"Khan, that's probably because your sister came last night and discovered our affairs." Sun Quan said.
"What should I do?" Da Qiao said helplessly.
"If you brought me to you, you didn't think about the consequences. What about pregnancy? A woman with big breasts and brainlessness!" Sun Quan cursed.
"No, I'll find a way to do it myself. You have to marry me and give me a title." Da Qiao was also angry.
"Oh, what you mean, you go and get the rest. I just need to wait for you to be my woman?" Sun Quan thought to himself, is Da Qiao so awesome?
However, Sun Quan had no intention of caring about Daqiao anymore. He had to go back and arrange Bu Lianshi first, and then he had to take his wife to pay homage to his family and ancestors. He didn't care about the bad things about his brain and left alone.
