Only Sun Quan kept nagging, eventually becoming a nagging, incessant chatterbox.
Sun Shangxiang kept her back to Sun Quan.
But the second brother, having already started the heart-to-heart talk, wouldn't stay easily.
"Everyone says that Liu Bei is not one to be subservient to others for long! After we allied with Liu Bei in Jiangdong and fought against Cao Cao at the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu took Nan Commandery to confront Cao Ren, and I personally led a large army to attack Lujiang and confront Zhang Wenyuan."
Ah Xiang, you should understand the seriousness of this situation!
Should we go to Jingzhou without fighting, or should we start a major conflict?
Subduing the enemy without fighting is the best strategy.
If we were to wage war against Jingzhou, Liu Bei would have Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun by his side, all of whom are fierce generals. Zhuge Liang, who boasted of his divine wisdom and ingenious strategies, would be able to devise extraordinary plans.
If we do not unite with Liu Bei, we may be ambushed by Cao Cao!
If Cao Cao and Liu Bei form an alliance, our Jiangdong region will have no future.
Sun Quan has made decisive decisions and weighed the pros and cons in his military campaigns over the years.
He showed remarkable patience in arranging his sister's marriage.
Sun Quan wanted Sun Shangxiang to understand.
Let her put Liu Ji aside for the time being.
Let her take on her mission:
"A marriage alliance with Liu Bei is something that cannot be entrusted to others! Ah Xiang, your second brother knows that you have lofty ambitions and consider yourself a man, but do you understand the heavy burden on a man's shoulders? Do you understand the burden on your second brother's shoulders?"
Sun Shangxiang had already covered her head.
The fact that she didn't get angry at her second brother was already an indication of her understanding of him.
She was truly tricked back by her second brother, Sun Quan.
She thought Sun Quan was going to hold a wedding for her, a wedding for her and Liu Ji.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan wanted her to marry Liu Bei.
Sun Shangxiang was forced into a corner by Sun Quan.
Sun Shangxiang threw off the blanket covering her head, jumped out, and stood in front of her second brother:
"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei! Is a nearly fifty-year-old geezer so difficult to deal with? Didn't he come here? You can lock me up, so why don't you lock up Liu Bei?"
Liu Bei has come to Jiangdong; even if he's a tiger, he's toothless now!
We detained Liu Bei in Jiangdong and used his life to threaten Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Let's see what they do then.
Let's see if they dare to attack Jiangdong.
Honestly, Liu Bei is really smug!
We in Jiangdong are so weak. We have a wealth of talented people, including scholars and generals. We are a vast and resourceful land, yet we are afraid of wolves in front, tigers behind, and Cao Cao.
Did Cao Cao have clairvoyance? Could he possibly react so quickly to the rapidly changing events happening on Beigu Mountain in Jingkou?
Sun Shangxiang spoke with great conviction.
Just kill Liu Bei!
Sun Shangxiang herself lost confidence when she deduced this far.
She is young and impulsive, but she is not stupid.
She is straightforward, not without guile.
Liu Bei was just Liu Bei!
If there is no Liu Bei, there is Li Bei; if there is no Li Bei, there is Zhuge Bei.
If Liu Bei were imprisoned by Sun Quan.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang from Jingzhou will be the first to launch an attack.
Faced with the predicament of the inconspicuous temporary team residing in Jingzhou, Sun Quan then threatened Liu Bei's life.
Does it work?
Even a naive young girl like Sun Shangxiang felt that such a threat would not be very effective.
By then, who will care about whom?
With Liu Bei gone, it's time for Jingzhou to establish a new ruler.
They then joined forces with Cao Cao to launch an attack.
what to do!
The in-depth conversation between Sun Quan and his sister Sun Shangxiang regarding the marriage alliance between Sun and Liu continued.
Of course, Sun Quan had another layer of consideration.
If it weren't for Sun Shangxiang stepping forward and taking on the important task of arranging a marriage alliance with Liu Bei...
So, who can Jiangdong send?
Liu Bei made it clear that he favored Lady Da Qiao.
Could Sun Quan arrange a marriage between Da Qiao and another woman?
When Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei, later generations would say that this was a marriage alliance between Sun and Liu, a beautiful woman marrying a hero, a wonderful thing.
If Sun Quan had married Da Qiao, his widowed sister-in-law, to Liu Bei, wouldn't he have been ridiculed by millions of people in later generations?
Sun Quan will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history books.
Sun Quan would be despised and looked down upon by people on the streets.
Sun Quan understood, of course, that if he explained this to his sister, Ah Xiang, given her feelings for her sister-in-law, she would seriously consider the matter, even if she was unwilling to marry Liu Bei.
But Sun Quan didn't have it either.
Sun Quan was unwilling to reveal the possibility that Liu Bei coveted Da Qiao.
I don't want to say it.
Liu Bei's interest in Da Qiao was an insult to Sun Quan.
The Sun family still has only one man left, so the widows of the Sun family must not be allowed to gossip about them!
This is Sun Quan's bottom line.
Therefore, Liu Bei was truly ruthless.
Never underestimate the scheming of an older man.
He wasn't the kind of naive young man who would fall in love at first sight and never forget a beautiful woman he met.
His goal was to form a marriage alliance with Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan would marry Liu Bei the most prominent woman in Jiangdong.
As for how Sun Quan weighed the pros and cons and made his choice...
Liu Bei didn't care.
Liu Bei came to Jiangdong to marry a beautiful woman, determined to succeed.
When Liu Bei visited Qiao Laodie, he was merely playing the emotional card to make a good impression and express his hopes and feelings for Da Qiao through Qiao Laodie.
In short, make a big fuss about it.
All the gifts that Liu Bei bought for the marriage proposal were delivered to Old Man Qiao's house.
Even if Old Man Qiao was simple-minded, he would understand Liu Bei's good intentions if he counted on his fingers in the middle of the night.
Sun Quan, without stopping, summoned Liu Bei to go up Beigu Mountain.
Liu Bei became wary.
