The key point is that there was a pot of poisoned wine with arsenic next to Liu Bei. Sun Quan did not order the poison to be placed there, and Liu Bei did not drink the poison and was not poisoned to death. Sun Quan still had to take the blame and make this explanation.
well.
Sun Quan felt this was a mess.
But since Liu Bei pointed out that it was poisoned wine.
So they simply seized upon this issue and went to Sun Quan to demand an explanation:
"General Sun has tested us several times. Does he still doubt Liu Bei? Since General Sun doesn't trust Liu Bei, then let's not talk about the Sun-Liu alliance!"
I beg General Sun to allow me to descend the mountain. I, Liu Bei, will then proceed to Western Sichuan and seize Yizhou. As for Jingzhou, it is the pivotal province; whoever controls it now, it belongs to them!
"General Sun, if you wish to take Jingzhou in the future, then take it by your own ability. I, Liu Bei, hereby declare: even if General Sun were to be so enraged that he were to cut off my head, Jingzhou would not submit."
That old fox Liu Bei's calculations were so accurate.
Why would Sun Quan kill him?
Sun Quan quickly tried to smooth things over and find a way out:
"Uncle Liu is getting agitated. Since you know this is a test, why get angry? Uncle Liu is a great hero of the world, what is there to fear from such a test? Come, guards, fill Uncle Liu's cup with wine!"
Sun Quan was truly sincere this time, pouring Liu Bei the same wine, and they drank the wine together as a toast.
This sincerity.
Only then did Liu Bei stop throwing a tantrum and sit down again.
Sun Quan was already feeling extremely uneasy.
On the surface, the back-and-forth between him and Liu Bei must continue.
Sun Quan, with a thoughtful expression, said:
"I have a younger sister, who is in the prime of her life! My mother dotes on her, and everyone in the family treats her like a treasure. We're thinking of finding her a good husband. But my sister-in-law disagrees; she's protecting her sister! Just now, Madam Da Qiao made it clear!"
"Uncle Liu, it's not that Sun Quan harbors any resentment towards you. It's just that my family cares too much about my sister. To be honest, you're thirty years older than her, so it's not unreasonable for me, as your older brother, to give you extra consideration and conduct several tests!"
Sun Quan finally brought out Sun Shangxiang.
A smile involuntarily appeared on Liu Bei's face.
"Not at all, not at all!"
Liu Bei's goal was finally achieved.
Alright, Sun Quan couldn't bear to part with his sister-in-law, so he had to sacrifice his sister. He finally pushed his sister out!
Liu Bei was also a man who knew how to make choices.
He understands best not to pick eggs from just one basket, but to gather eggs from several baskets.
Since he can't get anything out of Da Qiao's basket, it's not bad to get something out of Sun Shangxiang's basket.
This was Liu Bei's plan.
But right now, Sun Shangxiang has already been sent away by Qiao Jingjing.
When Sun Quan heard the news that twenty maids had gone down Beigu Mountain, he ordered Jiang Qin to go find Sun Shangxiang again. However, they could not find her no matter how hard they searched, so he knew that his sister had run away with the help of her sister-in-law.
However, with Liu Bei present, they could not speak out.
He could only give Jiang Qin a brief indication.
Please have Jiang Qin take his men and go after them immediately.
