Chapter 542: The Messenger
Among the camps of the Jiangdong Army.
Sun Quan sat quietly in the hall, listening to the report of his subordinates, and the Huainan army sent an envoy to discuss important matters with Sun Quan.
"What important matter can he Huainan discuss with me?" Sun Quan sneered, now Jiangdong has sent troops, and it can be regarded as tearing his face with Huainan, if he can talk about it before he fights, what will he talk about after this fight?
When Sun Quan was about to prepare not to see the envoy, a strategist on the side stood up, this person's surname was Gu Yong, Gu Yong was born in Wu County, Wu County, and his great-grandfather Gu Feng was the Taishou of Yingchuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When Gu Yong was young, he worshipped Cai Yong as his teacher and learned to play the piano and calligraphy. He is quick-witted, quiet and single-minded, and his art industry is progressing, and he is deeply loved by Cai Yong. Cai Yong gave it a name. Therefore, Gu Yong has the same name as his teacher Cai Yong. And because he was praised by the teacher, he sighed.
Later, he was recommended by the state and county, and when he was weak, he served as the mayor of Hefei, and successively served as the county magistrate of Lou, Qu'a, and Shangyu, and he had achievements everywhere.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan comprehended the Ji Taishou, and when he did not go to the county, he took Gu Yong as the county and acted as the Taishou, and Gu Yong sought to get rid of the thieves, so that the county boundary was quiet, and the officials and the people were submissive. A few years later, he entered the shogunate of Sun Quan as Zuo Sima.
It was precisely because Gu Yong had been an official in Lujiang that Sun Quan also brought him this time.
"My lord, since this envoy is here, we might as well listen to what this envoy sent by Huainan is saying?" Gu Yonggui persuaded Sun Quan to arrive.
Anyway, you don't suffer if you listen to it, do you?
"Good! Just listen to Mr. Yuansi, go and bring the envoy of the Huainan Army! β
Soon, the envoy who came on behalf of the Huainan Army was brought to Sun Quan: "General Yuan Yao of Huainan, Sun Gan has seen General Sun Quan!" β
Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou? Sun Quan also knew the person in front of him, of course, he had only heard of the name but had not heard of him.
"Oh? It turned out to be Mr. Gongyou, who has been admired for a long time! "Sun Quan's words on the scene still have to be said." Come and give Mr. Sun Qian a seat! β
"Thank you, General Sun Quan!"
"Mr. Gongyou, I remember that you used to work under General Liu Bei, why haven't you seen you for a while, but you have changed the lord? Isn't General Zuo already dead? Gu Yong took the lead in making it difficult for Sun Qian.
What is called changing the lord, it is very ugly to say, and the subconscious meaning is that Sun Qian betrayed Liu Bei.
"Hehe, Mr. Gu Yong said with a smile." Sun Qian also did his homework before he came, and knew that this person was Gu Yong, and he was a capable person under Sun Quan.
"Good birds choose trees to perch, not to mention people's calls, General Zuo Liu Bei's perverse behavior is not shameful, Sun was blinded before and never saw it, and almost died, and now he has met the Ming Lord, how can there be no refuge?" Sun Gan immediately retorted, not to say that this Sun Gan is not angry, but to say that this Sun Gan is itchy to Liu Bei.
He Sun Qian can be regarded as a saddle for Liu Bei, but in the end, he was sold by Liu Bei.
"It's Mr. Gu Yong, the master is planning, why did Mr. Gu Yong leave Lujiang?" Sun Qian asked with a smile? Gu Yong used to be an official in Lujiang, and Lujiang was Yuan Shu's territory before.
"Alright, alright! Mr. Gongyou, why did you come to my Jiangdong office on behalf of Huainan like this? β
Sun Qian also looked at Sun Quan, "General Sun Quan, Qian came here to replace my lord to ask for marriage like General Sun Quan, I hope General Sun Quan can marry his sister to my lord, so that you and I can marry Qin and Jin together!" β
"Asking for a kiss?" Sun Quan sneered in his heart, that sister of his had already been captured by Yuan Yao as a hostage, where did he come from to ask for marriage? This marriage is fake, I'm afraid the peace is true.
"I don't know what kind of dowry your lord is willing to give to marry my little sister?" Sun Quan asked about the chips of Sun Qianhuai's southern army over there.
"If General Sun Quan agrees to marry my sister to my lord, then my lordship is willing to give 10,000 gold, 100,000 stone of grain, plus the entire Lujiang County to show his sincerity!" Sun Qian said to Sun Quan over there.
"10,000 gold, 100,000 grain and grass, and a Lujiang County?" If it was before, Sun Quan would have been dumbfounded, this Yuan Yao's dowry was too rich, and it was so rich that it was terrifying.
Sun Quan doesn't care much about family affection at all, otherwise there will be no later loss of his wife and soldiers, the original trajectory, Liu Bei is an old man, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses under him, Sun Quan is willing to marry his young sister in order to pull the velvet, not to mention the current Yuan Yao's big dowry.
However, Sun Quan's appetite is much greater now, or he is more ambitious now.
"That's all?" Sun Quan asked with a smile.
"Isn't that enough?" Sun Qian asked rhetorically, even if it is enough to marry a princess. You must know that although Jiangdong has thirty counties, it is only five counties. As soon as Yuan Yao gave it, he gave Sun Quan one-fifth.
"If this is the sincerity of the lord, then let my little sister stay in the boudoir!" Sun Quan said indifferently to Sun Qian.
"If your father-in-law is an ordinary family, then these dowries are indeed enough, but don't forget that your father-in-law is now a general canonized by the Han Emperor himself, and he is also the official position of the pastor of Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Sizhou. You must know that there is only one little sister in my family, and Lujiang County is really a drop in the bucket for your father-in-law, how can you let me rest assured that my little sister will marry your father-in-law? Sun Quan said to Sun Qian over there.
Sun Qian looked at Sun Quan: "Then I don't know how much General Sun Quan wants to dowry, so he is willing to marry Sister Ling to my lord?" "Since you Sun Quan are not satisfied with our offer, then let's talk about your Sun Quan's own.
"In the land of four continents, as long as the lord is willing to take out Yangzhou, then I will naturally marry my favorite little sister to your lord!" Sun Quan said with a big mouth.
"Want Yangzhou?" Sun Qian is also playful, after all, this Sun Quan is still greedy to get Huainan. Fortunately, Sun Gan's visit this time was simply a strategy, in order to show weakness to Jiangdong.
Sun Qian's heart was playful, but on the surface, he was sincerely afraid: "Yangzhou? This is not good, General Sun Quan, how can there be a dowry with a state! Are you a sister or a sister! β
"If it doesn't work, then ask Mr. Sun Qian to go back and tell your lord that some of my little sisters want to marry!" Sun Quan said coldly,
"Don't, don't, General Sun Quan has something to say, does he have something to say?" Sun Gan looked flattering to Sun Quan, "General Sun Quan, you think this is good, Huainan is the foundation of our army after all, and my old lord is buried in Huainan, it is impossible to use it as a dowry, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and even Yuzhou, General Sun Quan of Sanzhou, you can choose one, okay?" β
"Hehe, Mr. Sun Qian, I just want Yangzhou? If your father-in-law is not willing to give, then don't talk about it! "Sun Quan bit Huainan to death, and now Sun Quan just wants to take advantage of your illness to kill you, Xuzhou, Qingzhou? Even if he is given Sun Quan, how can he govern Sun Quan? There is a Huainan in the middle.
If you want to Huainan, you are not afraid that your mouth will grow too big, flashing your tongue, Sun Gan sneered in his heart.
"General Sun Quan, I am just a messenger under the command of my lord, this Huainan as a dowry, I really don't dare to call the shots, General Sun Quan, you think this is good, I will immediately go back to Huainan to discuss with my lord, my lordship is true love for Sister Ling!" Sun Qian faced Sun Quan Hu Lane.
"Your father-in-law is in Huainan?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, a little panicked in his heart, he didn't know why, he was really a little stunned by Yuan Yao.
"Of course, my lord has always been in Huainan!" Sun Qian said with truth and falsehood.
Sun Quan mocked himself in his heart, he was a little monster and was shocked. If this Yuan Yao was in Huainan, he would have called over a long time ago, and he would have sent Sun Qian to play such a play?
"Okay, Mr. Sun Qian, you go early and come back early!"
"General Sun Quan, this, this, can you get rid of one thing?"
"Say?"
"Then I'll go back and report to my lord, can this General Sun Quan suspend the beacon fire?" Sun Qian looked at Sun Quan with a look of longing.
"Yes!" Sun Quan agreed without thinking about it.
"Thank you so much, General, I'll go back!" Sun Qian left with a smile.
Gu Yong looked at Sun Qian's departing back and asked Sun Quan, "Lord, do you really want a truce?" β
"If Yuan Yao'er gives me the whole of Yangzhou, what's the point of stopping!" He Sun Quan and Cao Cao have an alliance because they have common interests, and if the interests of the two are different, then Sun Quan will immediately turn his face.
"But now that he Yuan Yao hasn't handed over Huainan to me, why should I want to stop fighting?" Sun Quan said with a smile.
Gu Yong also nodded yes.
Sun Quan waved his hand and let Gu Yong leave, he sneered again and again, this Sun Qian and Sun Gongyou are really ridiculous, and they want to make peace with themselves? In Sun Quan's opinion, Sun Qian inadvertently said that Yuan Yao was in Huainan, which was simply a cover-up.
wanted to use Yuan Yao to scare Sun Quan in Huainan, but it exposed the emptiness of Huainan now, if he had sent a messenger to Jiangdong according to Yuan Yao's temper in the past?
Sun Quan still remembers the appearance of Yuan Yao Xiao'er sending people to his Jiangdong to ask for a sea boat, thinking about Sun Quan, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, "Yuan Yao Xiao'er, you want a truce, it's impossible, unless you give Huainan to me, otherwise this battle will be the last battle for your Huainan destruction!" β
Sun Quan was about to go down to rest.
The guards outside the gate came with news again, saying that the messenger from Huainan had come again.
Sun Quan asked you to continue to bring in the envoy of the Huainan Army, "What? Mr. Sun Qian has figured it out? Sun Quan was about to taunt Sun Gan, but he saw that the person who came was not Sun Gan, "En? Sun Quan was slightly stunned, and then became furious: "He, Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, don't you don't know how to be polite?" Seeing a general, he sent such a nobody as you? Someone came and dragged this person out for me and cut him down. Sun Quan thought that this was Sun Gan humiliating himself.
The envoy below was startled, and quickly knelt on the ground, "The general is wronged, the general is wronged!" β
Seeing the envoy of the Huainan Army kneeling in front of him, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but his face was still cold, "What is there to wrong?" β
"General, although I am from Huainan, I am not the representative of Yuan Yao'er!"
Yuan Yao's child? An envoy of the Huainan Army dared to call their lord a child, and Sun Quan was a little interested.
"Since you don't represent Yuan Yao'er, who are you!"
"General Sun Quan Mingjian, the villain's surname is Yan, his name is Chen, and he is the captain of the Shouchun Huya!"
"So you're still Yuan Yao's person?"
"General, although the little one is a general in Huainan, he is despised by Yuan Yao's children, and the little one is my brother-in-law who came to represent this time!"
"Your brother-in-law?"
"Exactly!" Yan Chen mentioned that his brother-in-law finally had a little courage.
"Who is your brother-in-law?"
"My brother-in-law is now the history of Yangzhou Thorn."
"Yangzhou Thorn History?" Sun Quan thought for a moment and blurted out, "Lu Bu's people? Sun Quan's pupils narrowed, "What did Lu Bu send you for?" β
"Ahem, General Sun Quan, my brother-in-law sent me here to form an alliance with General Sun Quan."
"Alliances?" Sun Quan thought of Lu Bu's bad reputation as a slave with the three surnames, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Isn't it your brother-in-law who wants to establish himself as the king again?" β
"General Sun Quan is really a clever plan," Yan Chen slapped it directly with a blow to the horse.
Sun Quan's eyes rolled when he heard Yan Chen's words, Lu Bu wanted to establish himself as the king? Listening to Yan Chen's words, Sun Quan had already imagined three points, because Lu Bu was a person with a criminal record, he cut Ding Yuan to get the Bingzhou wolf horse, cut Dong Zhuo to get Chang'an City, and almost robbed Cao Cao's Yanzhou and cut Liu Da'er.
Now this Lu Bu wants to betray Yuan Yao again?
"What evidence do you have?"
"Ahhh Yan Chen was a little puzzled,
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are Lu Bu's brother-in-law?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" As he spoke, Yan Chen took out several letters from his arms and handed them to Sun Quan over there.
Sun Quan opened it, and it was full of some children's family routines, and some self-pity and self-lamenting things in the past, "What kind of evidence is this?" You brush me? β
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Yan Chen said to Sun Quan over there, "General Sun Quan, my brother-in-law sent me here, and I can't be sure that General Sun Quan, you must form an alliance with my brother-in-law, if you don't agree, then my brother-in-law will be passive!" "Yan Chen's look of understanding made Sun Quan's anger disappear a little, and Lu Bu is also a person with a criminal record, can Yuan Yao not guard against it? It's okay if this Lu Bu cooperates with your Sun Quan, but I'm afraid that if your Sun Quan doesn't agree to cooperate, didn't he Lu Bu give you the handle for nothing?
"These handwritings belong to my brother-in-law, you can find someone to be firm, it is enough to prove my identity!" Yan Chen said to Sun Quan, the person who can get Lu Bu's family letter is either Lu Bu's closest person or his family.
Sun Quan quickly found someone to identify it, and sure enough, it was Lu Bu's handwriting, but Sun Quan didn't agree to Yan Chen at once, but asked Yan Chen to go down and rest first.
After Sun Gan's envoy, the Jiangdong army became more and more unscrupulous, coupled with Ling Tong's earnestness, soon the giant nest also fell, and it was only a matter of time before Chaoxian fell. Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses were not idle, they were all broken into pieces and headed towards Lujiang Shucheng.
In Shouchun, Miss Lu, who had been waiting to be married in Shouchun, came out of Shouchun overnight and went to the Guangling generation after receiving a letter.
"Why are you here?" Yuan Yao frowned and looked at the heroic woman in front of him.
"Come and see you!" The heroic woman in front of her looked at Yuan Yao silently and said.
"Yes!" Yuan Yao nodded, his feelings for the woman in front of him Yuan Yao are very complicated, he is the only marriage contract left by Yuan Yao's father, the heroic woman is very beautiful, and Yuan Yao himself is also a person who likes beautiful women.
The two of them were immediately embarrassed in place.
"I heard you're in trouble?" The heroic woman suddenly spoke, breaking the embarrassment.
"Trouble?" Yuan Yao remembered what Chen Si said before about using a heroic woman as a bait to attract the Jiangdong army into Chaohu.
"I want to help you!" The heroic woman said softly.
"Who told you that?" Yuan Yao frowned, he said that no one was allowed to mention this matter again, but he didn't expect this heroic woman to come to the door.
"I want to help you!" The heroic woman did not answer Yuan Yao's question, but continued to say a word.
"No, you don't!" Yuan Yao waved his hand in annoyance. "I'm very busy here! You go down and rest first, and I'll have someone send you back to Shouchun tomorrow." β
The handsome woman gritted her teeth and left.
Yuan Yao continued to look at some of the news sent from Xia Cai and Lujiang, and only stopped until the evening, and asked the people under him to send the food to eat, and remembered that the heroic woman was still there, so he said to the people under him, "Come on, go and invite Miss Lu too, no, send him to the room!" Yuan Yao was afraid that he would be embarrassed when he saw Miss Lu, so he simply asked people to send him directly to Miss Lu's room.
"Yes!" Soon the servants left, and just when Yuan Yao was halfway through eating, the person who had just delivered the meal to Miss Lu ran over, "General, no, General." β
"What's the matter?" Yuan Yao's mood for eating was gone.
"General, Miss Lu, Miss Lu is gone."
"Gone?" Yuan Yao also stood up, although he didn't have much affection for Miss Lu, but how could he say that this Miss Lu was also his nominal wife, "Give me to find it, send someone to find it!" β
I have been looking in the courtyard for a long time, and there is not the slightest shadow of Miss Lu.
"Could it be that a big living person is just gone!" Yuan Yao was also angry. When Yuan Yao was angry, there was finally news that this Miss Lu left the mansion alone in an hour and took a war horse from the mansion.
Yuan Yao is also stunned, isn't this causing trouble for him Yuan Yao? "Come on, go and call Chen Zhi and the others for me!"
Soon Chen arrived at them, and they were in front of Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao didn't talk to Chen Zhi either, and asked them to go directly out of the city to find Miss Lu, and Chen Zhi immediately took Yu Linwei to take the order.
When Chen came back to report, he learned that this Miss Lu was heading in the direction of Wancheng.
This Miss Lu is also from Bingzhou, although she is a woman, but her equestrian skills are better than Chen Zhi and others, and even the war horse that Miss Lu took away from Yuan Yao's mansion is not an ordinary war horse, it is a good sweat and blood BMW, Chen Zhi and others can't catch up with it at all.
Only then did people come back and report to Yuan Yao
"Nonsense!" Yuan Yao slapped on the case, and the Huainan civil and military forces below were also called by Yuan Yao, "Who told her the news?" Yuan Yao glanced at it angrily, all of them lowered their heads and eyebrows, but no one stood up to speak.
"Humph!" Yuan Yao also knew that even if he knew who it was, what could he do? These doglegs are all for the good of his master.
Waiting for Yuan Yao's anger to subside a little, a group of Huainan civil and military officers came to comfort Yuan Yao: "Lord, since Madame, she is willing to go to Anhui City for the great cause of your lord, why should you live up to Madame's hard work?" β
"Yes, yes, lord, madam, all this is for me Huainan!"
"It's all! Does he need a woman to protect me? Yuan Yao shouted in fear of hitting the case.
"Lord, if the lord doesn't want to, wait for Mrs. to arrive in Wancheng, and let General Chen Zhi pick him up!" Tian Feng on the side comforted Yuan Yao.
"Humph!" Yuan Yao sat down at this time, and his anger disappeared a little, he also knew that Miss Lu's temper was very stubborn, and he dared to leave alone, so it was bound to be difficult to turn back.
"Tell Chen to protect the safety of the housewife!" Yuan Yao said to the people under his hands: "If the master mother is missing a single hair, he won't have to come back!" β
"Where is Zilong?"
"The last general!"
"You also go to Wancheng, and protect the housemother with Chen Zhi!" This time, Yuan Yao secretly dispatched troops, and he definitely couldn't send the Yulin Wei troops over, so he could only send some elite generals to protect Miss Lu.
"The last general commands!"
β¦β¦
How to pass on the news of Miss Lu Lingqi and Miss Lu in the Lujiang River, let Sun Quan in Jiangdong know, and at the same time not make Sun Quan suspicious, this is a difficult matter.
Fortunately, Yuan Yao had a lot of doglegs in his hands, and soon one after another dirty ideas came out.
Let Lu Lingqi go to Lujiang as the main mother to boost morale, which is also to appease the people.
Soon Lu Lingqi's figure appeared in the Anhui City, the seat of governance in Lujiang County.
Lu Lingqi not only came by herself this time, but also brought the two most popular and wanted things of the Jiangdong Army, gold and food.
As the main mother, Lu Lingqi distributed the 10,000 gold and the 50,000 stone of grain she brought to the soldiers and people below, and there were bursts of cheers.
"Who is that woman, how can she give us food!" Jiang Dongjun's stall had never seen Lu Lingqi's appearance, and he was afraid that he would be mistaken, so he asked a person on the side.
"You don't even know that?" The other people didn't notice anything, "This woman is the wife of General Yuan Yao of our Huainan." β
"General Yuan Yao's wife? How do you know? Have you seen this wife of General Yuan Yao? β
"I haven't seen it before, but isn't it shouting over there? Mrs. Yuan took the place of General Yuan Yao to send food and money to us poor people and soldiers to comfort us, besides, if it wasn't for the general's wife, how would she look so beautiful? Indeed, the woman on the table is so beautiful.
The spy began to ask other people again, and the others also gave the same answer, and there was even one person who had seen Lu Bu, and Miss Lu and Lu Bu really looked very similar.
In this way, this spy can really confirm that the one on the table is indeed the daughter of Yuan Yao's wife Lu Bu.
Soon the news was sent to Jiangdong Sun Quan's case.
"What? You said that Yuan Yao's wife Lu Bu's daughter is in Anhui City? When Sun Quan heard the news, he stood up directly and asked. Are you sure you read that right? β
"Yes, yes, it's true, it was the subordinates who saw with their own eyes that Mrs. Yuan Yao was distributing food to those people, and the subordinates also went out of their way to inquire, and both the people and the soldiers around said that it was Yuan Yao's wife. By the way, the subordinates also drew a portrait of that lady! β
"Bring it up!" Sun Quan said to this subordinate.
Soon there was an extra painting in Sun Quan's hand, even Sun Quan couldn't help but light up when he saw it, the woman in this painting not only has the softness of a woman, but also has a kind of man's heroism, "What a beauty!" Sun Quan can't help but believe that he has three points, and only such a woman can be worthy of a prince.
"Lord, this is a good opportunity!" Someone on the side proposed to Sun Quan, "If we can quickly take Wancheng, and capture her before Miss Lu has time to leave, it will inevitably cause huge damage to the morale of the Huainan Bureau, plus with Lu Bu's help, this capture of Huainan is just around the corner."
Although Sun Quan's face was also happy, he was still cautious: "You said that Yuan Yao's wife wants to boost morale in Anhui City for dozens of days?" Sun Quan continued to ask
"Yes!"
"Okay, come on, let me go, Yan Chen called!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Yan Chen, who came from Huainan and wanted to return his brother-in-law to power, was brought to Sun Quan.
"General Sun Quan!" Yan Chen lowered his eyebrows and shouted.
"General Yan Chen, I have something I want to ask the general."
"Does General Lu have a daughter who has a marriage contract with that Yuan Yao'er?"
Yan Chen looked at Sun Quan hesitantly, what did this Sun Quan mean, and could only say tentatively, "General Sun, my brother-in-law does have a marriage contract with Yuan Yaoxiao'er, but it was made a long time ago."
"Don't worry, General Yan Chen, this will not affect our cooperation!" Sun Quan said with a smile: "I just want to ask the general to come and see if you are the person in the painting." Sun Quan took out the painting and showed it to Yan Chen.
Yan Chen nodded, "How can you have a portrait of my niece?" β
"Hehe, General Yan Chen, your niece is in Anhui City now!"
"I have an idea, General Yan Chen, didn't you say that General Lu wants to cooperate with us? In order for you and me to trust each other more, we need to kiss each other, I have a crush on Ling's niece, I want to marry her! Sun Quan said with a bright eye,
"Ahhh
"As long as General Lu Bu is willing to marry Miss Lu to me, then I will help General Lu take Huainan and drive away Cao Cao!" Sun Quan needed LΓΌ Bu and was not really willing to share Huainan with LΓΌ Bu, but needed LΓΌ Bu to help him resist Cao Cao.
Sun Quan and Cao Cao are now in an alliance, and the two have agreed to divide Huainan, but now Sun Quan's appetite is much greater than before, because he has more chips in Sun Quan's hands.
The soldiers and horses left in Huainan by the Huainan army are now dealing with Cao Cao, which gives Sun Quan a chance, if Lu Bu is added, he can completely take down the entire Huainan, even if Cao Cao turns his face and has Lu Bu to help him, Sun Quan can be fearless.
What's more, if you marry Miss Lu as a concubine, this is real revenge.
Jiangdong conquered Yuan Yao several times, but each time he came and returned with a failure, and even in Jiangdong, there were rumors that Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce was in Yuan Yao's hands, Mrs. Wu was captured, Sun Shangxiang was taken to Shouchun, and Jiangdong was humiliated.
And now, what can compare to humiliating Yuan Yao by taking Yuan Yao's wife as a concubine?
