Chapter 215: Ten wins and ten defeats
Han Xuan waved his hand to let the visitor go down first, walked into the inner courtyard and picked up the rattle to Han Wanqing, patted her little face and said, "Wanqing is good, my brother and I have to listen to your mother's words, and my father will go back when he goes." β
Han Wanqing lowered her head and pouted, pulling the rattle twice, Han Xuan looked like Dong Wan when she saw her. Han Xuan thought of Dong Wan, and his heart felt a pang of cramp.
Huang Wudie took a pair of children and sent Han Xuan out of the yard. Han Xuan came to the council hall, Du Xian, Cao Xing, Dong Ping and others had been waiting for a long time, Cao Xuan stepped forward and said: "My lord, Yuan Shao sent the generals Lu Yi and Wen Chou to attack Sun Zan and borrow grain from Cao Cao, but Cao Cao refused. Cao sent Shi Jian and Cao Ren to guard against Yuan Shao, but they had a heavy army on the border with Xuzhou, which should be to start a war with Lu Bu. β
Han Xuan had expected that Cao Cao would kill Lu Bu first, and asked, "What is Liu Du's movement over there?" β
Du Zhen replied: "General Wei Yan is stationed in Zhaoling, and General Liu Du Pan Fengtun is a soldier, and the two armies are temporarily peaceful." β
Zhang Zhao sent someone to deliver the news, and Sun Ce finally agreed to surrender. Han Xuan slapped the table and said, "Okay! Ordered Sun Ce to surrender to Wu County. β
Wu Jun Qu'a, Mrs. Wu was enjoying flowers and laughing with Sun Shangxiang in the courtyard, and suddenly someone came to report and said: "Zhang Zhao sent someone to send Sun Ce's handwritten letter. Sun Ceshu:
Ce was imprisoned, but Meng Hanjun did not give up and did not do harm. I crossed the river with Gongjin and fought in Jiangdong, but now Gongjin is defeated and I don't know my whereabouts, and I am also under house arrest in Danyang. Ce Wen that my cousin Sun Ben died, and my brother Sun Quan sat in charge of Wu County. The decisive opportunity is not as good as me between the two formations, I am still captured by Han Xuan, and the situation is in the middle of the plot!
Today, my mother and Zhong Mou care about the survival of my Sun clan, don't let Han Xuan lose patience and surrender early. Han Xuan promised to avenge my father, and now he has no choice but to surrender to him, and the time is also fate!
Sun Ce's letters reveal a kind of heroic sadness, and Sun Ce is no longer as radiant as before. Sun Quan suppressed his anger after receiving the letter, and I am not as good as you between the two formations? How do you know that I, Sun Quan, can also lead the people of Wu County to wait for the opportunity to destroy Han Xuan, kill Huang Zu, and avenge you and your father.
Mrs. Wu and Sun Shangxiang found Sun Quan and persuaded Sun Quan to surrender earlier, so that Han Xuan could let Sun Ce come to the family for reunion. Sun Quan was embarrassed: "Mother, all the generals in Wu County want to fight Han Xuan to the death, if the son surrenders in exchange for his brother's life, he will be angry." β
Sun Shangxiang pointed at Sun Quan and shouted: "Now that my brother is still alive, you want to fall into his death, are you sorry for your deceased father?" β
Sun Quan was sobbing on his back, and Mrs. Wu rushed to the well and cried: "Wentai, sister, I can't stand you." I failed to bring Bofu and Zhongmou well, and their brothers were distant. β
Sun Quan hurriedly rushed over to stop Mrs. Wu to prevent her from jumping into the well to find a short view, Sun Shangxiang picked up a manhole cover and threw it at the wellhead, and the manhole cover just fell on the wellhead to seal it.
Sun Quan supported Mrs. Wu, who was crying bitterly, and sighed: "Mother must not commit suicide, and the son surrenders." β
Sun Quan summoned all the generals, Zhu Zhi, Pan Zhang and others were unwilling to surrender, and Quan Rou and others advocated surrendering Han Xuan in exchange for Sun Ce. The two factions held their own opinions and refused to budge, and the scene was in turmoil.
Sun Quan pulled out his sword, slashed off a corner of the table, and shouted: "Brothers are like siblings, I have made up my mind, and I will exchange Wu Jun for my brother." There are people who have said that they have fought to the death with Han Xuan and trapped me in the unjust, just like this case! β
Everyone was forced by Sun's authority and did not dare to oppose him anymore. Han Xuan was overjoyed when he learned about it, and asked Huang Zhong and Chen Wu to lead troops into Wu County and accept Sun Quan's surrender.
Huang Zhong, Chen Wu, Xu Rong, Xu Sheng and others led troops to occupy various important towns in Wu County, Huang Zhong led people into the Wu County Guard's Mansion, and laughed and said: "The soldiers occupy Wu County without blood, and the lord, the Sun family, and the people all benefit, which is a matter of killing three birds with one stone." β
Sun Quan and Quan Rou said yes on the side, and Sun Quan asked, "I wonder when Han Yangzhou will be able to let my brother Sun Ce return?" β
Huang Zhong said with a smile: "Sun Bofu has long since regained his free body, but he is still in the rich and gentle township, and he can go to Danyang to find him." β
Sun Quan was about to ask for an explanation, but said that Mrs. Wu had sent someone to inform Sun Quan that Sun Ce had returned to Wu County and asked him to go back for a reunion.
Sun Quan hurried back to the house, only to see Sun Ce, Mrs. Wu, Sun Shangxiang and others crying with joy and complaining to each other. Sun Ce also brought back two peerless beauties, one is Da Qiao and the other is Xiao Qiao.
Sun Quan was shocked by Da Qiao's beauty and asked Sun Ce, "Brother, who is this girl?" β
Sun Ce laughed and said, "What girl, Zhongmou came to see your sister-in-law." β
Sun Quan gave a salute to Da Qiao, his heart was dripping blood, and Da Qiao, who he fell in love with at first sight, became his sister-in-law at the moment. At the banquet, Sun Quan and Sun Ce forced their faces to laugh, the wine was sweet, but for some reason it was bitter after drinking.
Han Xuan obtained Wu County, and since then he has gained great momentum and sent Zhang Hong to Xuchang to offer his victory. Cao Cao knew that Han Xuan had all the counties in Jiangdong and was strong, and sighed: "It's difficult for lions to compete!" β
Guo Jia entered the council room, and Cao Cao asked, "Why is Fengxiao late?" β
Guo Jia took out a letter from his sleeve and said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shao sent someone to the lord of the book, saying that he wanted to send troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, and he came to borrow grain and soldiers. β
Cao Cao sighed: "I heard that Han Xuan has won Wu County, and the six counties and eighty-one states have all fallen into his hands. I don't want Yuan Shao to be in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou in the north, and now I am surrounded by strong enemies in Yanzhou, which really gives me a headache. β
Cao Cao then opened the letter and looked at it, and saw that the meaning of the words was arrogant, so he asked Guo Jiadao: "Yuan Shao is so arrogant, I want to ask for it, but I can't hate it, how can I do it?" β
Guo Jia said eloquently: "Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows it. Gao Zu was only outwitted, and although Xiang Yu was strong, he was finally captured. Today, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, although Shao soldiers are prosperous, there is no fear of it. Shao Fan, etiquette and etiquette, the public body is natural, this way is also victorious; Shao to reverse, public to be obedient, this righteousness is also victorious; Since Huan and Ling, the government has lost in leniency, Shao has been lenient, and the public has been violently corrected, and this rule has been victorious; Shao wai wide and taboo, many relatives, public and simple, only talented, this degree is also victorious; Shao more plans and less decisions, the public has to make a plan, and this plan is also successful; Shao special reputation, public and sincere treatment of people, this virtue is also victorious; Shao compassion is near and far, the public is thoughtful, and this benevolence is also victorious; Shao listens to slander and confusion, and the public infiltration is not good, and this Ming wins also; Shao is confused about right and wrong, and the public law is strict, and this article is also good; Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is less than the public, and the soldiers are like gods, and this martial arts is also victorious. The public has these ten victories, and there is no difficulty in defeating. β
Cao Cao smiled: "As Feng Xiao said, how can I be worthy of it!" β
The drama Zhicai in the hall was very disdainful, Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, why are you so showy? Xun Yu bowed and said: "Guo Fengxiao's saying of ten victories and ten defeats is in line with his humble opinion. Although there are many soldiers, why be afraid! β
Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "It's just that if the lord wants to fight Yuan Shao, he has to go first, but he has a big trouble in his heart. β
Cao Cao pretended to ask, "Who is the big trouble in my heart?" β
Guo Jia said: "Xuzhou Lu Bu is really a big trouble. Today, Shao is in the north to conquer Gongsun Zhan, I should take it far away, first take Lu Bu, sweep away the southeast, and then Tushao, which is the best plan; Otherwise, if our side attacks Shao, Bu will take advantage of the situation to attack Xu Du, and the harm will not be shallow. β
Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's suggestion and consulted with the advisors to conquer LΓΌ Bu in the east. Xi Zhicai said: "You can ask someone to make an appointment with Han Xuan and Liu Bei first, and wait for them to return before you can move troops." β
Cao Cao obeyed it, on the one hand sent an edict to Han Xuan and Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he sent Yuan Shao's envoy to Yuan Shao as a lieutenant, and also the governor of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states, and replied to Yuan Shao in a secret letter: "The public can ask for Gongsun Zhan." Let me help. Yuan Shao was overjoyed with the book, so he marched into the army to attack Gongsun Zhan, who was entrenched in Yijing.
In Xuzhou, Chen Gong grabbed the envoy sent by Liu Bei to Cao Cao, and the messenger knew that Chen Gong was Lu Bu's subordinate, so he couldn't answer in a panic. Chen Gong asked people to search his body, and Liu Bei replied to Cao Cao's secret letter. Chen Gong immediately took people and books to see Lu Bu. Lu Bunai opened the book and read it carefully. The book goes something like this:
If you want to Tu Lu Bu on your orders, do you dare to work hard all night? However, there are few soldiers in reserve, and they dare not move lightly. Cao Gong and Master Xing, the right general, are ready to be the forerunner. Be strict with the soldiers and prepare their armor, and wait for their orders.
The right general in the letter was Han Xuan, and Lu Bu was furious when he saw it: "How dare Cao thief do this? β
Chen Gong wrinkled his brows and said: "Han Xuan is close to Wu County, if he attacks our army from the south with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, our army will be defeated!" β
