Chapter 78 Unexpected Harvest

Sun Shao, who was going to perform a big performance, didn't get what he wanted. As soon as he made a spree, Sun Quan agreed and decided to send him to Nanjun to propose marriage to Guan Yu again. Considering that he was too young to cope with the scene, I decided to arrange a regular envoy for him. Sun Shao was prepared and proposed to let Zhang Zhao's eldest son Zhang Cheng go.

Sun Quan thought for a moment, then responded and sent someone to invite Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng.

After Zhang Zhao's discussion, he just returned to the house to sit down. During the discussion today, Sun Quan was not in a good mood, and he was obviously a little distracted. The discussion ended hastily and did not come up with any tricks. Zhang Zhao couldn't figure out the reason. He just thought that Sun Quan was scared by Cao's army. Naturally, he was a little worried. While their sons Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiu were talking about this, they received the news that Sun Quan wanted to see them.

Zhang Cheng is very strange and a little excited. It has been a long time since Sun Quan did not summon Zhang Zhao alone. This sudden emergency call must be a major matter that could not be solved, and he thought of the old minister again. But why did he summon himself? Are you going to let me be an official?

Zhang Zhao also thought of this. He and Zhang Cheng looked at each other, with a trace of joy in his eyes at the same time.

"Father, is it..."

"Maybe." After all, Zhang Zhao had a long history and was much calmer. After pondering for a moment, he went in and changed his clothes with Zhang Cheng, and then rushed to the general's mansion in a carriage. Although their house is not far away from the general's mansion, it is etiquette to take a car. Even if it is two steps away, you have to take this car, otherwise you will lose your identity.

As soon as he saw the majestic Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan also became serious. Sun Shao, who had just jumped up, caught up with two steps and saluted Zhang Zhao: "Teacher."

"Hmm." Zhang Zhao nodded blankly, went straight into the main hall, and saluted Sun Quan, who greeted him. Zhang Cheng did not dare to neglect, but also saluted according to the rules, and then sat behind Zhang Zhao.

Sun Quan is not nonsense. Psychologically speaking, he doesn't like Zhang Zhao. When he sees Zhang Zhao's face, he feels nervous, so he came straight to the point that he wants to ask Zhang to take on the position of general and send a mission to Nanjun to propose marriage to Guan Yu with Sun Shao.

Zhang Zhao is very satisfied. Sun Quan can hand over this heavy responsibility to Zhang Cheng, which shows that he still values him. His son, who has always been white, jumped into a middle-aged general, which is also a flat. He thought for a moment and agreed. Naturally, Zhang Cheng had nothing to say. He kowtowed and thanked him, and then Sun Quan said something to let them get the gifts they needed and leave as soon as possible.

Zhang Chengru was still immersed in excitement in his dream until he got on the big boat that went up the river. However, his tutoring is very strict, and he usually takes the Confucian moral code of conduct as his code of conduct. Although he is happy, he does not show his appearance in front of others.

"Uncle." Sun Shao came out of the cabin and arched his hand against Zhang Cheng, who stood against the wind. The river breeze in early winter blew on his face, which was really a little chilly. It's just that Zhang Cheng doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold and has been standing like this.

"Fengxian, you are my father's disciple, and then call me Uncle Shi, it will mess up the generation." Zhang Cheng turned around politely and returned the gift. When he knew that it was Sun Shao who proposed to Sun Quan that he be the official, his attitude towards Sun Shao changed a little. At the beginning, Zhang Zhao accepted Sun Shao as a disciple, but he still didn't understand, but now he sincerely admires Zhang Zhao. Sun Quan really needs to be stimulated, otherwise he doesn't know when he will remember you.

"Hehe..." Sun Shao smiled and then changed his words: "Then I'll dare to call him Zhong Si."

Zhang Cheng also smiled: "It should be like this."

"Brother Zhong Si, it's windy outside. Don't catch a cold. Let's go into the cabin. Let's drink some wine and ask you some advice by the way."

Zhang Cheng did not refuse. To be honest, although his heart was hot, it was still quite cold after the wind blew for a long time.

They were sitting in a boat, which was made up of two boats together. Although the speed was not fast, it was stable. There were fifty soldiers on the ship, accompanied by Shuai Zeng and Qiao Yue of Sun Mansion, Cao Gen, a follower of Zhang Mansion, and Shangguan Xuefei. Cao Gen is a man of about 30 years old. He is taciturn and strong. He stands in the corner when he has nothing to do. Shangguan Xuefei is a good-looking young woman. Although she wears a maid's costume, she is generous. As soon as she met Qiao Yue, she soon became a good sister.

Sun Shao looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile and said, "Does Brother Zhong Si like to drink spirits, or is it milder?"

Zhang Cheng also smiled: "Since we still have to discuss knowledge, let's drink something mild. We really want to get drunk, but it's a little disrespectful to saints."

Sun Shao did not refute, and asked Shuai Zeng to take some ordinary brewing wine. To be honest, he doesn't like to drink distilled wine.

While drinking wine, the two of them ate some snacks with wine and talked casually. For this mission, Sun Shao spent a lot of money and asked Shuai Zeng to go to the market to buy something delicious and buy. It will take many days to get to Jingzhou. He wants to attract Zhang Cheng well, not only because Zhang Cheng is a good official, but more importantly, he also needs to seize this period of time to study and ask Zhang Cheng for scriptures.

"Feng Xian, do you think this task can be completed?" Zhang Cheng saped his wine and seemed to ask casually.

"With Brother Zhong Si here, I think it should be no problem."

"No." Zhang Cheng shook his head and looked embarrassed: "The Supreme has sent someone to propose marriage, and Guan Yu has also refused. Let's go again. If there is no better explanation, I'm afraid we will return without success. If so, not only will there be no light on our faces, but also the plan of the Supreme Alliance against Cao will also be affected. At that time, I'm afraid we will shrink back and dare not let go.

Sun Shao chewed the beans in his mouth, but he did not answer Zhang Cheng directly. He didn't go to Jingzhou to propose marriage to Sun Deng, but to find a wife for himself. It's just that Zhang Wen gave him this idea. At present, when he didn't tell Zhang Cheng, including Sun Quan, he thought that in the name of Sun Deng's marriage proposal, he would not let them die. His own idea could not be mentioned. He said perfunctorily, "Even if it doesn't work, Guan Yu will not send troops to attack immediately. Although Lu Hengjiang is ill, he is still in Lukou. I'm afraid it's not so easy for Guan Yu to invade the east."

Zhang Cheng nodded. He talked about Sun Quan, which was just a superficial article. In fact, it didn't work or not. At present, it seems that it has little impact on the war situation. You should know that Xia Houyuan is attacking Ba County, and Liu Bei is under a lot of pressure. He will not take the initiative to attack Dongwu at this time. But for Zhang Cheng, it was of great significance. He messed up his first job and had a bad impact on his career. What's more, after the failure of the first marriage proposal, Sun Quan thought of him. If not, wouldn't he have failed Sun Quan's trust?

So for himself, he must also do it.

Zhang Cheng's thoughts and Sun Shao are basically aware of it, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to recommend Zhang Cheng as a regular envoy. Starting from his own opportunity, Zhang Wen suddenly guessed Zhang Zhao's secret thought of accepting him as a disciple, and took this opportunity to pull Zhang Cheng into the water, which can be said to be a stone. But now it's just a relationship. It still takes time to really tie Zhang Cheng with himself.

"In my opinion, when Brother Zhong Si passed through Lukou, he'd better go to see Lu Hengjiang." Sun Shao opened the topic: "His physical condition is related to our confidence in speaking. I didn't have enough confidence, so I fell behind before the war.

Zhang Cheng frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "You're right. We should meet him. You have to see not only him, but also Lv Meng.

Sun Shao smiled. Although Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and Lv Meng are all Huai Si factions with common interests, they are not harmonious. Zhang Zhao, who depended on his teeth and knowledge, did not regard martial artists such as Lu Su and Lv Meng in his eyes, although Lv Meng still recommended him to Sun Quan. Especially Lu Su, Zhang Zhao has always thought that he was not modest, self-righteous, and belittled him in front of Sun Quan. It's just that after the peace of the 13th year of Jian'an, the two of them turned over in Sun Quan's mind, which was also God's will. Now it's really embarrassing for Zhang Cheng to see Lu Su.
