Chapter six hundred and thirty seventh recruiting the princess
ps: Happy eleven
Although Luoyang has undergone a huge change, Yuan Shang did not stay here for long. He asked Zhao Yun to stabilize the court here instead, and he led his troops to quickly rush to Xuchang to summon everyone to prepare for the invitation of Dongwu Wu Wu.
The matter is indeed as Jia Xu reported. After passing through the battle of Xuzhou, Sun Shangxiang, the princess of the Eastern Wu, was stimulated by some unknown reason, and began to issue notices all over the world, to compete for marriage and choose a husband.
This marriage recruitment is for facing talents from all walks of life in the world. If you don’t fight for your father, mother, money, or family... just work hard!
No matter whether you are tall, rich, handsome or poor, as long as you participate in this marriage recruitment, you will have a chance.
The place to recruit brides was also a painstaking effort. Due to the problems of various forces, the place to recruit brides was chosen in a suburb at the junction of Jingchu, Huainan and Dongwu.
When he heard the venue for the competition to attract brides, Yuan Shang was almost spurted out by the air, and it was the midpoint between Wulin and Hefei.
The former site of the Battle of Red Cliffs has now been used to fight for women from all walks of life. If historians in later generations knew about it, they would not know what they would make.
There was still some time before the time for the competition to recruit brides, Yuan Shang hurriedly led his men back to Xuchang and began to formulate plans and plan countermeasures.
Yuan Shang's side had acted in this bride, and Sun Quan's side had already added fuel to the fire.
Since the announcement of the marriage invitation from Jiangdong was announced, the entire Dongwu has become the focus of people in the world.
Because the content of the notice of the bride was relatively shocking, the standards for choosing a husband in Jiangdong can be said to be low, so it cannot be lower.
In terms of requirements, as long as the people under the Han Dynasty are from a noble family or poor family, those with innocent families can participate, and those with both civil and military affairs can choose the best.
As soon as the notice came out, everyone was shocked.
Many wealthy nobles distributed in various states of the Han Dynasty tried more and more, thinking about letting their outstanding young masters go to Jiangdong to take the exam. From then on, they climbed up the dragon and attached themselves to the phoenix and became relatives of the overlords of Jiangdong.
As for the princes of all sides, such as Yuan Shang, they have already been waiting for the opportunity to plan for the world's trend and then make plans.
The wind and clouds surging, and it actually arises in a thought of the red sleeves.
Dongwu.
Since returning from the battle in Xuzhou, Sun Shangxiang has always been a little confused. No one knows what she was thinking about at this moment, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance, especially Sun Shangxiang's biological mother Wu Guotai. After this girl came back from Xuzhou, she no longer practiced swords every day, but just held herself in the house every day and became obsessed with the divination technique of Qian Gua turtle shell.
In particular, Sun Shangxiang was not concerned about the general trend of the world at first, but after returning this time, he also paid close attention to the turmoil in the north. The scouts who came back from the north were found by him every now and then, destroying the Li Ru and Liaodong Rebellion and the Cao Clan in Xuchang. The battle between Sun Yuan in Hanzhong and Liu Xie in Luoyang was trapped, and all of them were clearly entered into Sun Shangxiang's ears.
Sun Quan saw that he shook his head and did not agree with it. Only Wu Guotai knew his daughter very well. He understood that his daughter had the intention of his younger daughter's family. So with the help of Guotai, a national competition for marriage began.
As soon as the notice of the Eastern Wu's marriage recruitment was entered into the WTO, the entire Jiangnan immediately became turbulent. As mentioned earlier, many children of aristocratic families were allowed to stop and head to Jiangnan. Once the crowds surrounded one place, some social turmoil would inevitably occur.
Not long after, Jiangnan was spread all over the country with outstanding men who came to compete for marriage. These people had different appearances, some were good at martial arts, some were good at Confucianism, some were good at craftsmanship, and some were strong families. Although all kinds of people are strange, most of them have one thing in common, that is, they are all very confident.
But it is no wonder that if a person is not confident, there is no need to come and compete for a martial arts competition to attract brides.
As these people gathered, the food and accommodation industry chain driven by tourism in various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually become increasingly developed without realizing it.
In comparison, the chaos has also increased relatively a lot.
Those who come to participate have relatively certain confidence in themselves, and confident people generally have to be arrogant, and they are all competitors. Once they meet, fight and scold the streets often happen. Blood bleeds occur almost every day in Jiangnan, and the security indicators of residents' urban areas have severely declined.
Especially after the specific competition location was clear, these people flocked to the Wulin realm in the wilderness, making it a mess there. The competition and marriage recruitment had not yet begun, and the fight was already full of all the battles.
When Yuan Shang and his pedestrians arrived, there were countless people who came to seek marriage and marriage. They each chose their own places to live, and they were in power with distinct barriers. Even so, there was a strong sense of solemnity in the air.
The first people to arrive were a group of talents who were begging for marriage under Guan Yu, Jingzhou, near the water tower, and forces that came from far away from Western Shu. The delegations of Jingzhou and Yizhou were protected as a horn, located in the West, and were in a distance with the local prostitutes of marriage proposals from Eastern Wu.
In addition, Jiaozhou Shixie and the Wuxi Fan Kings and the Southern Barbarian Kings who came here on their way to camp in the southwest, forming a vague alliance with each other, and their strength should not be underestimated.
In the northeast corner, most of the families, famous families or poor families are idle Yun and Yehe. They come to try their luck and form a secretly peek at the movements of all parties.
Yuan Shang set up camp in the north of Wulin without any choice.
The sky gradually darkened. The silent Wulin wasteland, which was usually silent, seemed to be crowded with people from all sides, making the moonlit night still cheerful. Listen carefully, there are people on either side who drink and sing, calling friends, and it was leisurely.
Interestingly, it seems that they have a tacit understanding with each other. Apart from the candidates for participating in the competition and recruiting brides, the soldiers and horses did not wait too long. Even if they were brought, they would at most be just a small number of soldiers who could protect themselves. Of course, this has a direct relationship with the inquiry of the situation before the various families came to participate.
Under the moonlight, Yuan Shang and Sima Yi stood side by side, looking at the stars in the tents in various parts in the distance. The two of them smiled and thought deeply.
Yuan Shangran looked at the number of tents in the distance and sighed: "I didn't expect that just a son-in-law has attracted so many people. Even the Jiaozhou Shijia, Wuling Fan King, and all the ethnic groups of the Southern Barbarians sent people here, which is really unexpected."
Sima Yi broke down a branch and put it in his mouth and smiled: "There is no way. Eastern Wu has been through three generations, with sufficient soldiers and food. Every move involves the general trend of the world. The wealthy families want to marry him and increase their power; poor families want to find them as their support to restore the family; there is no need to say about Liu Bei in Western Shu. If they can marry Sun Quan, the two families will join forces and Liu Bei will have the subsequent power to confront his lord. The local military generals of the Eastern Wu naturally do not want to let the water flow to the outsiders' fields; the guys in Jiaozhou, Wuxi, and Nanman are in the growth stage, so they will naturally not give up this opportunity. It will move their whole body with one move!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang took a deep breath and said, "There are so many wolves and few meats... Do you know, who are involved in each family?"
Sima Yi said: "There is still a while before the specific time of martial arts competition and recruiting brides, but the personnel are probably clear. The local area of Eastern Wu includes generals such as Ling Tong, Zhou Shan, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, and other military generals, as well as Zhang Xiu, son of Zhang Zhao, and other capable ministers. In Jingzhou and Yizhou, Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, Guan Xing, son of Zhang Fei, Zhang Bao, place of Ma Liang, and Ma Su, famous generals such as Shuzhong came secretly to participate in the support. In Jiaozhou, there are branches of the scholars of the Shi family, and the rest are Shamoke, the master of Wuxi Cave, Meng Huo, the rising star of the Southern Barbarians, Mulu, the destined Muhuan, the three knots of Jinhuan, etc.... In addition, many aristocratic families and poor families in the world are countless, which is simply unmatched."
Yuan Shang nodded after hearing this and said, "There are a lot of crooked melons and jujubes, and you dare to rush up any kind of thing... Did Liu Zhang, who lives in the Southern Barbarians, send a representative to participate?"
Sima Yi nodded and said, "I have sent him, led by his son Liu Xun. He was blocked by the people of Nanzhong on the way, so he took a detour carefully. It is said that the arrival is a little full, but it is probably about to arrive."
Yuan Shang nodded after hearing this and suddenly said, "This marriage robbery is like fighting. You cannot be slackened at all. You must make a far-reaching attack, plan and then act, so that things can be accomplished. There are too many crooked people coming to marry. Before the competition, you must first find a way to save a group of people. In this way, in the official competition, we can have room for our players to perform."
Sima Yi thought about it after hearing this and said, "Does the lord want to use a secret trick? But it is said that this time, the one who advocates the marriage is fair!"
Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "That's all the nonsense that Jiangdong made to fool people. Besides, even if it is true, it's all over for us to not find out when we destroy it?"
"What does the lord want to do?"
"First of all, we must make friends with allies in the recruitment of brides and organize an alliance of a small gang. Liu Xun, who was originally representing Liu Zhang, had long been in contact with us. You can send someone to secretly support them and let them arrive here safely, and then camp next to us, thinking that the people in Jingzhou and Yizhou are definitely our opponents, and we may not be able to fight for the local generals of the Eastern Wu. I think the barbarian kings in Wuling and the Southern Barbarians can try to fight for them. You can send someone to contact us and let me meet them."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Leave this to me, but I don't know who should I make an alliance with my lord?"
Yuan Shang thought for a while and then said, "Let's start with that Meng Huo first."
Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this and said, "Why should it be him first? I heard that this person is just a rising star in Nanzhong. Although he is powerful, he is not without the barbarian kings who are better than him."
Yuan Shang smiled and couldn't say that because the name Meng Huo was familiar with him and was relatively large.
"Because this name sounds rather second." In desperation, Yuan Shang had to make up a reason that he could barely push and push.
