回荆州

回荆州

　　周瑜设计，让刘备和孙权的妹妹孙尚香成亲。婚后，刘备一直住在东吴。越云按临行前诸葛亮设的计策：假称曹操攻打荆州，催刘备回去。刘备信以为真，和周瑜派追兵赶来，刘备十分惊慌，于是来到车前泣告孙夫人说：“你哥哥和周瑜合谋将你嫁给我，是想用美人计杀我，再夺回荆州。我冒死前来，是敬慕夫人的名声，今天只有夫人出面才能解救，如夫人不出面，我只有一死。”孙夫人一听，立即卷起车帘，大声对追兵说：“你们想造反吗？周瑜这个贼子，我东吴不曾亏待于他。刘备是我丈夫，我母亲和我哥哥知道我要回荆州，难道你们是来抢我们的财物吗？”孙夫人一面大骂周瑜，一面让人推车前进。又走了不到五、六里，孙权派兵将赶来。孙夫人让刘备先走，自己和赵云在后，并叱喝来人说：“你们专门挑拨我兄妹不合，我奉母命回荆州，便是我哥哥来了也得以礼送行，难道你们想害我吗？”来将不敢说话，一看又无刘备，只有赵云怒目而视。只得回营禀报。待追兵再带孙权宝剑赶到江边时，诸葛亮已亲自带船接应，把刘备和孙夫人接回荆州。
