Chapter 162: The Hero of Jiangdong
In late February 264, just as Guan Yi began to launch a vigorous Yanxing reform in Shu Han, Zhong Hui and his nephew Zhong Yong came to Wucheng County in Huiji County, Eastern Wu.
"Brother Shiji, Yi can really pinch and calculate. Otherwise, how could he have known in advance that the Sima Guild would invade my Han on a large scale and prepare so many years in advance? ”
"Brother Shiji, Yi can really pinch and calculate. Otherwise, how could he have issued a warning to Fu Jian in Yang'an Pass in advance that Jiang Shu would rebel? Actually, I also warned Dong Ming and Zhuge Zhan in advance, but unfortunately they didn't listen, forcing Yi to take the first step as a minister. ”
"Brother Shi Ji is such a talent, Yi doesn't dare to expect you to be convinced by me. So I really can't sleep well if you stay in Chengdu. But Brother Shiji, you can go to Soochow. Not long ago, Yi calculated another hexagram, the current emperor of Eastern Wu, Sun Xiu, who was sick, and this time he couldn't get better. His son won't succeed him. He will be succeeded by the current Wucheng Marquis Sun Hao. Well, at most in August and September this year, Sun Hao will be on the throne. If you go to defect now, you will be from the dragon in less than half a year. I can't say, Guan Yi still needs your care one day. ”
"Well, this, I'm sure I'm going to write you a letter of recommendation. And I also gave you a little bit of our newly produced high-grade wine in Fuling County, which is absolutely unique to me in the whole world. Sun Hao drank this wine, and he must believe that this letter was written by me Guan Yi. ”
Now, with a full stomach full of expectations and a little unclear fear of the future, Zhong Hui and Zhong Yong stood in front of the door of the Wucheng Marquis Mansion.
"Uncle, this is the Wucheng Marquis Mansion? It looks dilapidated. ”
"Hehehe, this person is the eldest son of Sun He, the abolished prince of Eastern Wu. As for Sun He, he was first abolished as the crown prince, and later killed by Sun Jun, a powerful minister of Eastern Wu (Sun He's wife-in-law and uncle were Zhuge Ke, and Zhuge Ke was wiped out by Sun Jun. In order to eliminate future troubles, Sun Jun naturally wanted to kill Sun He). So this person became an orphan at a very young age (this sentence is not entirely true, Sun Hao's biological mother raised Sun Hao's five siblings). It is also the current sick Yangzi Emperor of Eastern Wu who is kind-hearted and gave him a marquis, otherwise, he would not even be able to live in such a dilapidated house! ”
"I see, what about us?"
"Hey, Yang'an Guan is defeated, Uncle Wei can't go back to Luoyang. Guan Zifeng was too self-aware, and he didn't dare to take me in. Therefore, let's also use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. If this person cannot ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Eastern Wu after October this year, we will make plans at that time. Yong'er, go knock on the door. ”
"Whoa!"
At the same time, inside the mansion of the Marquis of Wucheng.
This so-called Hou Mansion is actually about the same size as Guan Yi's Taishou Mansion in Fuling County, with two courtyards and seven or eight houses. There is a vacant lot between the first and second entrances, and the surrounding houses enclose it into a patio.
A sharp sound of fierce weapons intersecting sounded intermittently in the courtyard, but it was two young men fighting together.
A man, about eight feet tall, with a tall nose and starry eyes. The two sword eyebrows added a lot of heroism to it. However, between the heroic spirit, there is a sense of elegance and grace. The other man, with deep-set eyes, dark skin, prickly muscles, and slightly purple hair, is not the same as the usual Central Plains people.
As the two swords intersected, the heroic man's long sword slashed past the swarthy man's long sword, sliding all the way down the sword. The swarthy man had to abandon his sword. So, the winner was decided.
"Bang bang." Beside the two men, another middle-aged man clapped desperately. It's a pity that this audience is too small. The lonely applause made the courtyard too desolate.
"Shunmin, yes, yes, yesterday I made fifteen moves under Hou Ye, and today it is twenty-one moves. It's been a big improvement. ”
"Hehehe, thank you Brother Wenbin for the compliment. This is still taught well by Master Hou. ”
"Tut-tut, Shunmin, you and Wen Bin can call each other cousins, why do you still call me Master Hou? You know my words, Yuanzong! ”
"Don't dare, although Brother Wen Bin is noble as Wu Chengling, he is a courtier of Da Wu after all. Wang Cheng (book friend Cheng Cheng starred in his true colors!) Although his status is low, he still dares to be called a brother thanks to Brother Wenbin. And the Hou Ye is different, you have the noble blood of the Great Emperor in your body, and you are the imperial emperor of my Great Wu. I, Wang Cheng, a foreigner from Yizhou, would never dare to call the Hou Ye's cousin. ”
"Yes, Lord Hou, this is the difference between monarchs and ministers. No, you can't. ”
"Hey~~~" let out a long sigh, Sun Hao threw the long sword in his hand to the ground: "I am the remnant of a waste prince, except for the two of you, who takes me seriously?" ”
The atmosphere is a little awkward, and no one can answer it.
After a while, Wu Cheng Ling Wan Yu opened his mouth: "Hou Ye, Yu came here today to bid farewell to Hou Ye." ”
"What? Is even Wenbin going to abandon me? ”
"It's not that you want to abandon Lord Hou, but the court has come to make an order. I want to set off within this month and go to Jianye to take up the post of Zuo Dianjun. ”
"I see, congratulations to Wen Bin for his promotion. Uh, it's a pity, there is not even some fruit wine from Fuling County in this house, so there is no way to celebrate Wen Bin. ”
"Hahaha~~~ How can you say that there is no wine? I have a new burnt knife liquor from Fuling County. Is Wu Chenghou willing to drink with me? ”
"Huh?" Sun Hao turned his head and saw two men walking in on their own. But there was no anger on his face, but a smile appeared from the bottom of his heart: "My so-called Hou Mansion, in addition to Wen Bin, has anyone taken the initiative to come to the door over the years?" Okay friend, where are your spirits? Can I drink with us? ”
"I don't dare to quit if I want to. Please ask the Hou Ye to send someone to take out the wine utensils. ”
"Hahaha~~~ This mansion of Benhou, in addition to Wen Bin's constant visits, and Shunmin's never abandonment. There are only the old mother and three younger brothers in the family. Well, not even a decent table. Snub the guests! ”
"It doesn't matter, it's also a kind of elegance." Zhong Hui was not hypocritical after speaking, and found a place to sit down: "Master Hou, this wine is extremely strong, please drink it slowly for the first sip." After speaking, he handed the wine jug in his arms to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao took it and was about to start drinking, Wang Cheng called softly: "Master Hou!" ”
"Hehehe, Shunmin, I know what you want to say. But I, a Hou Ye who is not even as good as a civilian, who will harm me? If the one in Jianye can't get used to me taking my life, even if he knows that this is poisonous wine, can I still not drink it? ”
After saying this, Sun Hao didn't hesitate at all, and opened his mouth to open his mouth.
"Cough cough, cough cough, cough ......" There is no doubt that the high-grade wine repeatedly refined by the traverser is not at all comparable to any kind of wine in this era. The first time I drank this kind of wine, and as soon as I drank it, it was Sun Hao who took a big sip. In an instant, the spicy intestines were burned, and the whole face naturally appeared bright blood red.
"What a thief! Dare to harm the Hou Ye! Wang Cheng, who was paying close attention to Sun Hao, quickly picked up the long sword on the ground at this time, and flew towards Zhong Hui. And Zhong Yong also quickly drew his sword, and after being able to block Wang Cheng, he shouted loudly: "Friend, don't be impatient!" Your master is fine! ”
"Whew~~~Ha~~~~~Whew~~~~ Good wine! Wine! The entrance is like a knife, and the abdomen turns into fire, and then the whole person is in a good mood...... Wine! Friend, what's the name of this wine? Produced in Fuling County in Western Shu? ”
"The name of this wine is Burning Knife, and there is also a name called Three-step Pouring. It is indeed produced in Fuling County of Shu Kingdom. The first time Hou Ye drank this wine, except for a slight loss of shape because of the taste problem, he was actually conscious, and Hou Ye was really physical. ”
"Huh~~ Such a wine should naturally be produced in Fuling County. Well? You just said Fuling County in Shu, you are not from Western Shu? ”
"It's not."
"Your Excellency's accent is indeed a northern accent. Are you a Wei person? ”
"Hey, we were originally from Wei, but now it's really hard to say who they are. Master Hou, here is a handwritten letter from Guan Yi Guan Zifeng, the general of Xishu Zuo, and please take a look. ”
"Hahaha~~ I, the empty marquis, have nothing to do all day long. It was Wen Bin who chatted with me, and Shun Min who accompanied me to practice swords. What a redundancy. But this Guan Zifeng is a big hero and a real hero. His handwritten letter, please allow me to read it carefully after I change my clothes. ”
In this letter, Guan Yi explained to Sun Hao in great detail the situation of the Xindu Battle and the Yang'an Pass Battle, which was accompanied by a lot of maps. Sun Hao was fascinated to see it. After that, the pen turned around, saying that the person who came to visit with a letter was Cao Wei's Zhenxi general Zhong Hui, who was unfortunately defeated and captured at Yang'an Pass. He begged Zhong Hui to serve him, but Zhong Hui wanted to defeat Guan Yi on the battlefield. So...... In the case of not being able to return to Cao Wei, he could only come to Soochow for refuge.
"Oops! It was actually Zhong Shi Ji Xian's uncle and nephew who had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, Sun Hao was rude. ”
"Hey, the army of 180,000, because Zhonghui's stupidity has been wiped out. This incident is really a lifelong regret of Zhong Hui. ”
"Otherwise, Shi Jigong, if it weren't for Guan Zifeng's detailed explanation in this letter, and it was accompanied by a map. Sun Hao didn't know that this was a reappearance of the Siege of Changping. Shi Jigong was in a desperate situation at that time and almost forced Guan Zifeng into a desperate situation, but Shi Jigong was unlucky, and the friendly troops on the periphery withdrew first, causing the Hanzhong Army to come to help in time, otherwise the success or failure of this battle is not yet known. If Shi Jigong won the battle in one breath at that time, it would be Shi Jigong's great achievement to destroy Shu. ”
"This ......" Hearing this, Zhong Hui's heart was really a little moved, this comforting people, comfort level. That's a good one!
"Thank you for your comfort, there will be a lot less stagnant qi in your chest."
"Hehehe, it's good that Shi Jigong's mood is soothed. But Shi Jigong, you want to compete with Guan Zifeng again, because you can't return to Wei for the time being, so come to my Dawu. This Sun Hao understands. But if you want to fulfill your ambitions, you should go to Jianye......"
"Not really. Gentleman. Although Zhong Hui is a northerner, he still has some understanding of the dispute between the two palaces of Dawu. This Great Wu's throne should have been Lingzun's, and it should naturally be yours. As the saying goes, the reason is clear, and the retribution is unpleasant. Although the monarch is temporarily dormant here, he will eventually soar in the nine days! And today's view of the monarch, heroic and heroic, reminds me of many years ago Changsha Heng Wang ..... Your Excellency will become another British lord in Jiangdong! ”
