Becoming a father in the film and television industry: starting with Xu Huanshan

Just like that, everyone in Dongwu tacitly agreed not to mention anything else and left the final decision to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian knew that he could not hold on for much longer, and naturally did not want to leave a mess behind, so he agreed to this plan of making friends with distant enemies while delaying the coming and going.

Xu Wenhao was sitting in Luoyang, and his sister came from Dongwu.

After receiving Sun Jian’s letter, his first reaction was: I treat you as a brother, and you want to be my father-in-law?

But when you think about the fact that Sun Shangxiang is a famous archer, mainly because she is good at archery, but she also has a hot temper.

This is also good, mainly because the girls in Xu Wenhao's family are pretty, but they are too well-behaved.

This was also true for Zhen Mi and Xiao Qiao, who were married later.

In this way, Xu Wenhao also agreed to the marriage with Dongwu.

After receiving the letter, Dongwu naturally quickly arranged for Sun Shangxiang to take a boat to Jiangzhou in Yizhou, and then disembark to Luoyang.

The reason why we went around in such a big circle is mainly because Jingzhou is now under the control of Cao Cao, and even the water surface of Jingzhou is guarded by navy.

Sun Jian's boat was able to pass, and even the people on board were able to pass without any problems.

But just in case, he could take the dowry prepared for Sun Shangxiang by Dongwu with him when he went to Jiangzhou.

In this way, Sun Shangxiang also went around to the port in Yizhou to disembark, and Lu Su, who was escorting Sun Shangxiang from Dongwu, also saw the real situation in Yizhou.

"It has only been less than two years since Yizhou was conquered, but its fighting capacity is already so strong?"

When Lu Su saw the state of the Yizhou soldiers, he knew their approximate level after a quick comparison, and was naturally even more surprised.

"Everyone has been deceived by the general. In fact, in the past 10 years, they have won every battle they have fought."

"It was only after the defeat of Youzhou and Yizhou that the general's dispatch of troops became less noticeable. But in fact, it took less than three months to capture the two states!"

Lu Su quickly analyzed the situation. Combining the speed of the previous defeat of Youzhou and Yizhou, he deduced that it was not because the others were too weak, but because Xu Wenhao's troops were too strong.

"Yes, the military advisor will report this to father when he returns."

Sun Shangxiang also felt that Xu Wenhao's troops were indeed quite powerful.

Just as the two men entered Yizhou and came to Zitong to rest and prepare to go from here to Chang'an and then to Luoyang, Zhang He also escorted a mountain team here.

It turned out that after the rebellion in Nanzhong ended, the various ethnic groups in Nanzhong took into consideration the strength of the Central Plains' military forces, and now that there were troops stationed in Nanzhong, they also wanted to do business with the Central Plains.

If you want to do business, you naturally need to have relationships with them. So the tribes in Nanzhong found the most beautiful women in their tribes, formed a team, and planned to send them to Luoyang to present to Xu Wenhao as a token of loyalty.

Ahem, this was actually Xun You’s own idea, mainly because he was not worried that Xu Wenhao would refuse.

Even if Xu Wenhao refused to take concubines, these girls would become maids or be settled on a farm together. This was a very common thing in ancient times.

He advised the various ethnic groups in southern China that one of their daughters had married the world's greatest military commander, and that these tribes would feel at ease to make friends with the Han people.

Otherwise, they would not feel at ease if we started doing business on a large scale right after the fight, right?

Under such persuasion, each tribe basically sent out the most beautiful women under their jurisdiction as marriage partners. Xun You even arranged for someone to personally select them, fearing that the aesthetic tastes of the different tribes might differ. . .

Since Ma Chao was born in Liang Province, he was naturally assigned to guard Nanzhong, so the person he escorted became Zhang He, who had just finished the battle of Nanzhong and was preparing to go back to rest.

After all, there were quite a lot of generals dispatched for this attack, so naturally one or two of them had to go back to take charge of the subsequent operations in the Central Plains.

Zhang He was originally from Yizhou, so he was suitable to be in charge of the next battle against Yanzhou.

"It seems that the general has already intimidated the various tribes in the south. I just found out that this large group of people are all daughters of the tribal chiefs of various tribes, or the most beautiful women in the tribe."

Lu Su also explained the situation.

"I have nothing to fear from a mere southern barbarian girl."

Sun Shangxiang also said confidently.

"Down south of Nanzhong is Jiaozhou, which can lead directly to our Yangzhou and Jingnan..."

Lu Su was more worried about other aspects.

If there had not been this marriage, given the situation in Nanzhong, they might have directly attacked from Jiaozhou.

"Well, I will try my best."

After Sun Shangxiang knew Xu Wenhao's strength, she no longer looked down on him. She only wanted to work hard for her family and actively win Xu Wenhao's favor so that the Sun family could be prosperous and wealthy in the future.

In this way, the Sun family's wedding procession followed Zhang He from Zitong to Chang'an and then to Luoyang.

Lu Su was shocked along the way, mainly because he had heard of cement roads before, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

After thinking about the usage of these roads, Lu Su discovered that if they were also built in Yizhou, transportation would be much faster when sending troops to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou in the future.

After arriving in Luoyang, Lu Su found that Luoyang was much bigger than he had imagined.

After asking Zhang He, I found out that Luoyang had become too prosperous after Xu Wenhao's development. What should I do?

For expansion, it was later expanded more than twice in size outside Luoyang city and divided into four areas, with different areas clearly distinguishing what to sell and where to live.

As a result, Luoyang's environment was no longer as dirty and messy as before due to the crowded environment, but became cleaner and cleaner.

"Alas, Cao Cao can't win. In the past 10 years, Cao Cao has been fighting all the time, while General Lu has built up a situation with Luoyang as the core. The combat power he has converted into is simply too strong."

"Moreover, looking at the cavalry returning from Yizhou, this is definitely a heavy cavalry configuration."

Lu Su also analyzed the situation to himself, and then wrote letters and sent them back to Eastern Wu, explaining the seriousness of the situation.

He was just worried that someone from Dongwu might be arrogant and cause trouble for him along the way.

After all, the ancient noble families each had their own interests, and there was no guarantee that someone would want to form an alliance with Cao Cao, and then everything would be in vain.

The General's Mansion.

"General, these are the children of the intermarried tribes in Nanzhong that I am escorting, as well as a handwritten letter from Military Advisor Xun."

"It just so happened that Dongwu also arranged a marriage team, so I escorted them together."

Zhang He also bowed respectfully to Xu Wenhao, and then began to report.

"You've worked hard, go down and have a rest."

Xu Wenhao no longer has the fierceness of the general he once was, but his majesty has become more profound due to the battles he fought in the south and the north over the years. It is not surprising that Zhang He would behave like this.

"Here!"

Zhang He bowed and left.

At this time, Lu Su also observed Xu Wenhao's situation and came up to report the ideas of the Eastern Wu side.

"I have a good relationship with Dongwu, so you don't need to be polite."

Since Xu Wenhao wanted to marry Sun Jian's daughter, he naturally couldn't say anything about Brother Wen Tai. He could only say that he had a friendship with Soochow.

Lu Su was very respectful and explained why Dongwu was like that. In short, he had no ulterior motives and would wait obediently for Xu Wenhao to conquer the Central Plains before surrendering.

In order to show sincerity, he specially arranged for Sun Shangxiang to marry Xu Wenhao.

"I know what you are thinking. I am sorry for wronging Miss Sun."

"I have arranged a place for you to live. Zijing, go down and have a good rest."

"Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to take you to Luoyang for a good look. Then you can report everything back to Dongwu. I believe they will understand how correct their original choice was."

Xu Wenhao also nodded to Sun Shangxiang, and then signaled Lu Su to go and rest first, as he still had to chat with the people from the various tribes in Nanzhong.
