Miss Qiao is indeed quite capable.
She was able to refuse invitations from Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde.
Yuan Gonglu's name resounded throughout China ever since the year Dong Zhuo entered the capital and Yuan Gonglu rallied eighteen warlords to attack Dong Zhuo.
Back then, it was an honor for any man to serve Yuan Gonglu.
Any woman who hears the name Yuan Gonglu must feel reverence for him.
And what about Cao Mengde? Cao Mengde was indeed a very shrewd and experienced man.
He also had the discerning eye to recognize a heroine, and sent someone from afar to invite this Miss Qiao.
But Miss Qiao rejected both of the big shots.
This time, carrying on his elder brother's wishes, Sun Quan once again went to Lujiang City to invite Miss Qiao.
Brother, the official meaning is that Zhang Zhao was invited in specifically to have a talk.
Zhang Zhao couldn't refute it.
"Zibu, I've heard that Cao Cao in the north and Yuan Shu in Shouchun are both vying for a certain person! That person is skilled in farming and has a set of techniques and methods for planting grains."
We have already acquired Qu'a. If we intend to use this place as our base in Jiangdong, we must manage it well, develop production, and appease the people. I want to go and invite that capable person over!

Zhang Zhao immediately agreed.
Sun Zhongmou then asked him, "Zibu, are you sure you agree?"

Zhang Zhao thought that Sun Zhongmou was trying to provoke him.
He also made himself appear very magnanimous.
But when Sun Quan and Sun Yi, along with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, set off for Lujiang City, Zhang Zhao learned that they were going to invite a woman surnamed Qiao.
Zhang Zhao was so angry he was on edge, and he couldn't hold back any longer.
He went straight to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce now has his own territory, his official title is General Who Annihilates Bandits, and he also has his own general's mansion. Although it was only recently built and is somewhat rough, it looks quite decent, and everything is steadily getting on track.
Zhang Zhao entered General Sun's study and formally announced his arrival.
After Lü Meng went in to announce his arrival and received permission, Zhang Zhao then went in.
"General! General, can't you still forget that woman?"
