  Liu Bei then met Lvfan.
  Liu Bei condolences Lvfan first, and then clarify what he wanted:. "For if a man's wife, did not like the house so I do not avoid suspicion as beams, especially to a matchmaker." Then put Soochow to recruit for the husband thing and Liu Bei Liu matter, political and military significance on the Sun two are seriously sincerely say. Finally, said: "Because Ms. Wu Tai particularly loved youngest daughter, unwilling to marrying, so please go Soochow uncle wedding."

  Liu Bei age difference is too large grounds declined. But Lvfan is a very competent and helpful brokered matchmaker, repeated persuasion. Finally, Liu Bei is no reason to refuse it, he said: "Please first stay, I'll tell you the final decision."
  Night, Liu Bei and holes supplier details matter. Ming is very pleased to persuade Liu Bei agreed to this marriage, and soon to be sent back to see Sun Quan Lvfan dry and agreed to get married, will fix a day on marriage Soochow.
  Liu Bei is definitely not mediocrity, so the wise man looked puzzled and said: "?! This is certainly Zhou Yu's strategy, how can I rashly ventured into the body of it."
  Ming laughed: "Zhou Yu, although I can count, but how can we be assured lord than I expected, I cleverly decided custody so frustrated Zhou Yu, Sun Quan's sister became the wife of the lord, and Jingzhou it foolproof?!!"
  Although I believe God Liu Bei Ming Predictable, but the danger is still doubtful ventured alone into the club, it is hesitant.

  Snoop people get sent back to the city, the report: "it's true son has Posthouse resting, accompanied by Sgt hundred swine and sheep are in town to buy fruit, ready to get married female matchmaker is Lvfan home, the man is the Sun. Dry. "
  A country too, stamp lamentation. At this time, Sun Quan Jin Jian mother. Country too angry asked: "Do you mind me and my daughter was born I do support, you move Liu Bei-law, such a big thing Why hide it from me?!?!"
  Sun Quan was shocked, I did not expect the mother known matter. Last resort, only to tell the truth to the country too: But he is a ploy just to deceive the Liu Bei Wu, good in order to blackmail, recovers Jingzhou. Not really want my sister to marry Liu Bei.
  States too heard more fire, cursed Zhou Yu said: "You dignified Counties eighty-one states viceroy, how did this unpromising ability to take Jingzhou, but with my daughter in the name of making honey trap to kill Liu Bei?!! I hope the door is widowed daughter, who later also how remarry "Then he angrily Sun Quan:"?!! guys you guys can not hack it, do good. "
  Sun Quan weekdays honor mother, at the moment only silence.
  Joe with the old nor Ohira: "Even with this accrual Jingzhou, will be how the world ridiculed this line.?!"

  Country too and said: "Tomorrow I will meet him if I intended to Liu Bei matter if I hear you do not like, really put his daughter to marry him.!"
  Sun Quan helpless, had promised. However, during the meeting in advance ambush slasher place, once the country is too satisfied with Liu Bei, immediately took him.
  Unexpectedly, the next day in Kanroji, Wu saw Xiangmaotangtang too, dressed very neat Liu Bei likes of Joe with the old praise: "This is my son who is equipped to do!"
  Joe with the old character in the meantime more praise to Liu Bei. So the country is too final word: Optional day engagement.

Then, wait for an opportunity to sow discord and shut down two of his relationship, he and Zhuge Liang emotional alienation. Finally, then count recapture Jingzhou. In short, never let Liu Bei pitted back!
  So Sun Quan in accordance with terms and the line: built luxurious palaces and Liu Bei couple living; flowers plaything, nothing endless its glamorous rare; singer musician, Chang color art are excellent candidates; As Jin Fairview, traveling dress, it is everything, extremely lucrative.
  Liu Bei Ben in long battle between labor and shoved into the realm of the rich gentle, really enjoyable, indulging in wine and women.
  Zhao seeing this, very worried. By Ming said, at year-end and open a second kit. After he had seen, hurried to the line before Liu was listening to see dance: "The report this morning to pick Ming, Cao Cao from the elite five hundred thousand, from military Shaben Jingzhou very urgent, please lord right back to Jingzhou!!"
  Although Liu Bei Love pleasures, but not obsessed. A Jingzhou hazards surprised. But reluctant to leave Ms. Sun.
  Zhao then intentionally repeatedly in urging Liu Bei.
  Liu Bei is more difficult, often face grief.
  Ms. Sun has been Discovery facts, he said flatly: "real man Li Shi, can not simply children affair, I should have a husband who, no matter where you are, I told you to go!"

  "This is the piety of course you can!" Country too in love looking at the eyes of Liu Bei, immediately agreed.
  Then, in the afternoon, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun brought Madame Sun and five hundred soldiers, without the knowledge of Sun Quan, quietly marching to the Yangtze River shore.
  The next day, Liu Bei and Sun Quan that Zoutuo busy to send army generals chase. Zhou Yu fled for fear of Liu Bei, has been the only way to send troops in defense. As a result, Liu Bei after by the enemy, was surrounded by pursuers, the situation is extremely dangerous.
  Busy as Well by Ming Zhao, "look at the critical moment the third kit." After reading, the Ming and Liu Bei's plan report. Mrs. Liu Bei Sun rushed to the car in front, tears and said: "with a few confidants, then, to tell his wife."

After that, it is very sincere demonstration of love for his wife's feelings. Finally, said: If the lady can not help themselves out of danger, would rather commit suicide in front of his wife.
  Ms. Sun heard something after all, was furious.
