第十五章 刘备做新郎
Chapter 15: Liu Bei Becomes a Groom

关羽放走曹操后，回到夏口领罪。在刘备的劝说下，诸葛亮才免去关羽的死罪，让他日后将功赎罪。接着，诸葛亮又用计攻占了南郡、襄阳、荆州。
After Guan Yu let Cao Cao escape,he returned to XiaKou to be punished.Under Liu Bei's persuasion,ZhuGe Liang spared Guan Yu's life,and told him to do good deeds to atone for his sins.Following these events,ZhuGe Liang conquered NanJun, XiangYang, and JingZhou.

周瑜知道后极其愤怒，打算攻打刘备，夺回荆州。恰好这时有人来报，刘备夫人甘氏死了，周瑜一听顿时有了主意。
Zhou Yu was furious after he found out about this,and planned to attack Liu Bei,and recapture JingZhou.It was at this moment that some men came back to report,that Liu Bei's wife died,and Zhou Yu immediately devised a plan.

周瑜给孙权写信，让他把妹妹假许给刘备，这样便能捉住刘备来换取荆州了。孙权见信后命吕范到荆州说媒。吕范说明了来意，刘备不敢答应，只说考虑一下。
Zhou Yu sent a letter to Sun Quan,and told him to pretend to let his sister marry Liu Bei,this way they could capture Liu Bei and get back JingZhou.After Sun Quan read over the letter he ordered Lu Fan to go to JingZhou to act as a matchmaker.Lu Fan stated her purpose there,but Liu Bei was reluctant to agree,and only said he'd think it over.

诸葛亮劝刘备答应下来，说：“我保管主公既能娶到孙权的妹妹，又不失荆州。”几天后，刘备带赵云前往东吴。临行前，诸葛亮交给赵云三个锦囊，要他一路依计行事。
ZhuGe Liang persuaded Liu Bei to agree,and said, "I garantee that you will marry Sun Quan's sister,and not lose JingZhou in the process." A few days after,Liu Bei brought Zhao Yun with him to DongWu.Before leaving,ZhuGe Liang gave Zhao Yun three little bags filled to the brim with his genius plans,and told him to do as the plans say.

来到东吴，赵云拆开第一个锦囊，依计命军士四处宣扬孙权要把妹妹嫁给刘备。
After arriving at Dong Wu,Zhao Yun tore open the first bag,and he ordered the soldiers to spread gossip around the city about Sun Quan's sister marrying Liu Bei.

吴国太听说后非常愤怒，连忙过来责问孙权。孙权见隐瞒不住，只好如实交代。吴国太：“你们打不过刘备，只能打我女儿的主意。”
The emperess of Wu heard of this and was furious,she hurriedly went to Sun Quan to demand what was happening.Sun Quan saw he couldn't hide it from her,and could only confess about the ''marriage plan".The emperess said, "You guys can't defeat Liu Bei,you guys are just taking advantage of my darling daughter!!"

国太执意要约刘备在甘露寺相见，母命难违，孙权只得答应了。
The emperess was adamant in wanting to meet Liu Bei at GanLuSi,and because her word had to be obeyed,Sun Quan had to agree.

第二天，国太见刘备气宇轩昂，十分喜欢。不久她挑个好日子，把女儿嫁给了他。
The next day,The empress saw that Liu Bei had an impressive demeanor,and immediately took a liking to him.Before long she picked a date,and let him marry her daughter.

周瑜不甘失败，又让孙权用奢华的生活来迷住刘备，让他留在东吴。刘备果然天天饮酒享乐，连赵云都不想见了，几乎忘掉了荆州。
Zhou Yu failed (ahaha loser), but he continued on with his next plan (Plan Q),and told Sun Quan to use the life of luxury to entice Liu Bei,and make him stay at DongWu.Indeed Liu Bei drank wine and had fun everyday,and didn't even want to see Zhao Yun,and nearly forgot about JingZhou.

赵云急忙打开第二个锦囊。看完后，赵云来见刘备，称曹操正率大军杀奔荆州。
Zhao Yun hurriedly opened up the second bag.After reading it,Zhao Yun went to meet Liu Bei,he said that Cao Cao was leading his army towards JingZhou.

刘备醒悟过来，于是带着夫人以到江边祭祖为借口，悄悄地离开了东吴。
Liu Bei woke up (figuratively),and brought his wife to the riverbank to hold a ceremony in memory of his ancestors as an excuse,and quietly left DongWu.

孙权得报后，马上派人去追。周瑜也派兵前去拦截。赵云保护着刘备和夫人连夜赶路。 到柴桑地界时，前有周瑜的兵马拦截，后有孙权的追兵，情况万分紧急。
After Sun Quan heard of this,and immediately dispatched some men to chase them.Zhou Yu also sent some men to hold them off.Zhao Yun protected Liu Bei and his wife as they fled that very same night. They arrived at the border of ChaiSang,and in front of them were Zhou Yu's soldiers blocking the way,and behind them were Sun Quan's men chasing after them,the situation was very urgent indeed.

赵云看完第三个锦囊。建议请孙夫人相助。刘备便将事情的来龙去脉告诉给夫人。刘备说：“你哥哥将夫人嫁给我，并非为夫人考虑，是想夺荆州。”于是孙夫人卷起车帘，大骂拦截的吴军将领。众将领不敢继续阻拦，只得放行。
Zhao Yun finished reading the third baggy.and suggested that they ask Liu Bei's wife to help.Liu Bei then told the whole story to his wife.Liu Bei said, "Your brother wanted us to marry,but didn't have your wellbeing in mind,he wanted to conquer JingZhou."Liu Bei's wife rolled up the curtains,and yelled and cursed the intercepting soldiers' ancestors a thousand times over and shouted profanites.The generals were afraid to continue blocking them,and had to let them go.

刘备一行赶到江边时，诸葛亮已率船队等候。众人登船乘风驶向荆州。
When Liu Bei and the others arrived at the riverside,ZhuGe Liang had already led a group of boats over and was waiting for them.They boarded the boats and headed for JingZhou with the wind behind their backs.
