If Sun Quan was granted amnesty, he went to change his clothes accompanied by Sun Lang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Sun Quan walking away, Yi Yuan hurriedly thanked Wu Guotai, and Sun Shangxiang retreated left and right to ask about Liu Chan and Jingzhou.
Yi told them that Jingzhou and Liu Chan had no problem, and conveyed Liu Chan's feelings of missing his mother.
Liu Chan asked Yi to tell his mother, asking his mother to rest assured that one day he would let Sun Quan obediently send his mother back to his father Liu Bei.
Hearing that Liu Chan was so determined and confident, Sun Shangxiang burst into tears, and Wu Guotai nodded frequently.
It is said that after Liu Chan was rescued by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, on the boat back, Zhou Shan was in a panic all day, and Liu Chan couldn't take it back, which meant that this mission was a failure, and he was afraid that Sun Quan would destroy his nine clans.
Zhou Shan begged Sun Shangxiang to find a way to save him, Sun Shangxiang couldn't think of a way, and Sun Lian said Liu Chan's method.
It was to ask Zhou Shan to tell Sun Quan that Liu Bei had married another beautiful woman and had a son in Xichuan, because Liu Chan was stupid and stupid, Liu Bei was completely disappointed and ignored it.
Liu Chan also said that he didn't blame Zhou Shan, and understood that Zhou Shan was also acting on orders. Zhou Shan was greatly moved by crying bitterly, knelt in front of Sun Shangxiang and repented, and slapped himself.
Zhou Shan hurriedly followed Liu Chan's method and bribed the accompanying insiders with a lot of money to help keep the secret. Sure enough, as Liu Chan expected, Sun Quan saw that the plan had failed, and was furious, and in anger, he punched and kicked Zhou Shan's hated killer and knocked out several front teeth.
If it weren't for Sun Shangxiang's intercession, and hearing that Liu Chan had become a waste, Zhou Shan would have been connected to the nine clans.
In the end, Zhou Shan paid the price of a few teeth and a black face, and of course the head of the Zhou family and the rich and beautiful women were all lost.
Since then, he has hated Sun Quan to the core, but he is extremely grateful to Liu Chan and Sun Shangxiang.
After Yi Yi resigned and returned to Jingzhou, Sun Quan convened his subordinates and generals to discuss, and most of the people such as Lü Meng suggested that they should wait and see before making a decision, but only a few people such as Lu Su, the governor of the capital, advised Sun Quan to prepare early and take precautions. In the end, Sun Quan still asked Lü Meng to rearm himself for war, in case of contingencies.
Lu Su Zi respected, and the four Ying generals of Eastern Wu were second. When the young Lu Su saw that the world was about to be chaotic, he practiced archery hard and studied diligently, becoming an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. Once, Zhou Yu brought hundreds of people to pass in front of Lu Su's door and borrowed grain from Lu Su. Lu Su only had two hoards of rice at home at that time, and borrowed a hoard of rice to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was very grateful to Lu Su and later recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan immediately made an appointment to meet Lu Su and talk with him, and was very happy. When the guests got up and withdrew, Lu Su also said goodbye. But after a while, Lu Su was quietly led back by Sun Quan and drank together. This is the famous "Couch Strategy".
Sun Quan said to Lu Su: "Today, the Han family is in danger, the four directions are disturbed, and the rest of his father and brother are alone, and he thinks about the merits of Huanwen." If you are patronizing, why should you support it? Lu Su replied: "If Emperor Gao wants to respect the righteous emperor but does not get it, Xiang Yu will be harmed." Today's Cao Cao is still Xiang Yu in the past. Why did the general have to be Huan Wenhu? Suppressing the theft, the Han family cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated. For the general's plan, the only way to stand in Jiangdong is to watch the provocation of the world. There is no suspicion of such a scale. Who? The north is honest and multi-tasking. Because of its many affairs, he eliminated Huang Zu and invaded Liu Biao, which was extremely popular with the Yangtze River, according to it, and then built the emperor to map the world, and the cause of this high emperor was also. Sun Quan also said: "Today, I will try my best to assist Han Er, and this is beyond my reach."
In August of the same year, Liu Biao fell ill and died. Lu Su said to Sun Quan: "Fu Jingchu is adjacent to the country, the water flows along the north, the Jiang and Han are brought outside, the mountains and tombs are blocked inside, there is the solid of the golden city, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and the people are rich. Now the table is newly dead, the two sons have never been harmonious, and the generals in the army have each other. plus Liu Bei is a hero in the world, and there is a gap with Cao, and he lives on the table, and he can't use it because he can do it. If you are prepared to work with him and work together with the top and bottom, it is advisable to appease and form an alliance: if there is a deviation, it is advisable not to try to help the great things. Su had to be ordered to hang his cousin and his two sons, and comfort those who used things in his army, and said that he would be prepared to take care of the people, work with one heart, and govern Cao Cao together, and be prepared to be happy and obey his fate. If it is harmonious, the world can be determined. If you don't go quickly, I'm afraid you will be the first. ”
After listening, Sun Quan felt justified and hurriedly sent Lu Su to discuss the matter of the alliance against Cao with Liu Bei. At this point, Sun Quan respected Lu Su very much and talked with him day and night. In 208, Cao Cao's army marched south, and Sun Quan summoned Wenchen to consult with the generals, and divided them into two factions. Wei Lu Su didn't say a word.
Sun Quan got up and went to the toilet, and Lu Su followed him under the eaves. Sun Quan knew that he wanted to express his opinion alone, so he took his hand and said, "What do you want to say?" Lu Su replied: "Lu Su said: "To investigate the opinions of the people, I want to mislead the general, and I am not enough to do big things." Today, Su can meet the ears, such as a general, not also. Why? Today, Su welcomes the exercise, and the operation should be returned to the township party. Taste its name, still do not lose Cao engaged, take the calf car, from the officials, to the travel Shilin, tired officials so do not lose the state and county. The general welcomes the exercise, and wants to return in peace? I hope to make a big plan as soon as possible, and don't use everyone's opinion. After hearing this, Sun Quan sighed and said: "These people hold the discussion, and they are very disappointed; Today, I have a big plan, and I am with the lonely, and I will be given to him this day. When Zhou Yu was in the field, Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to recall him. Zhou Yu's return strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao. Sun Quan authorized Zhou Yu to preside over the war, appointed Lu Su as the captain of the Zanjun Academy, and helped Zhou Yuyun to strategize. Finally defeated Cao Bing in Chibi.
In the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su fought as a military general, led the three armies, and made great contributions. After the Battle of Chibi, Lu Suli lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, a move that made Cao Cao's pen fall to the ground in fright. In 210, Zhou Yu died of illness, and before his death, he recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan to succeed him as governor.
Lu Meng, whose name is Ziming, is a native of Runan, who attached himself to his brother-in-law Deng Dang when he was a teenager and followed Sun Ce as a general. He said with courage that he was tired of sealing Sima of other departments. After Sun Quan, he was gradually reused, from the breaking of Huang Zu to the first board, from the siege of Cao Ren in Nanjun, repeatedly offered strange plans, and sealed the general of Hengye Zhonglang. When he was in the army, he also studied angrily, and was deeply relied on by Sun Quan and Lu Su. At the beginning, he did not study literature, and was persuaded by Sun Quan to read more history books and military books, and was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
It can be said that Lu Su was the most strategic general of Eastern Wu. Although Lü Meng's rebellion in history successfully attacked Jingzhou and strengthened the power of Eastern Wu, it greatly undermined the Sun-Liu Alliance, causing Cao Wei and Western Jin to defeat Shu Han and Eastern Wu, accelerating the process of destruction. As it turned out, Lu Meng was a treacherous person.
On the Jingzhou side, Meng Da and Hu Ji led 500 light cavalry disguised as Cao's army, and rushed to Jingling, Shiyang and other places in Eastern Wu day and night, while Dong Ju and Chen Shi led 500 light cavalry pretending to be Wu army's light cavalry to burn, kill, plunder, guerrilla harassment and harass the local government yamen in Zaoyang, Yiyang, Yichun and other places in Cao Cao's ruling area, creating terrorist incidents everywhere, and creating a situation of large-scale attack by the enemy.
For a time, the area at the junction of Cao Cao and Sun Quan was in turmoil, and emergency documents from all over the country flew into the hands of Cao Cao and Sun Quan like snowflakes.
