Chapter 239: Sun Ce's Troubles
Changan
Liu Xie looked at Sun Ce, who had rushed back from Qingzhou, and was very surprised, and didn't understand what happened to make this little overlord rush back in person to ask for a meeting.
"Bo Fu, what's wrong?" Liu Xie asked.
"Holy Lord, the minister heard that Jiangdong intends to start a war with Jingnan......" As soon as Sun Ce spoke, Liu Xie suddenly understood what Sun Ce wanted to do in such a hurry to rush back. In fact, long before Sun Ce returned to Chang'an, the information of Sun Liu's bad relationship had been sent to Chang'an, and the courtiers also had different opinions on this. Some people think that it is necessary to wait and see, while others think that this is an opportunity to regain Koto. And Sun Ce in front of him obviously supports the latter point of view.
However, Liu Xie happened to be the opposite of Sun Ce's thoughts, Sun Quan and Liu Bei's battle was of course a good thing for Liu Xie, if they fought in the nest, they would lose both, and they would save a lot of effort when they cleaned it up. It's just that he is happy, but Liu Xie is not dizzy, and intends to show an attitude of intentionally inserting a foot at this time.
The imperial court is powerful, and it is difficult for one of the two families of Hesun and Liu to compete, and it is easy for the two families who are tense to die down because of the common enemy. This is not what Liu Xie wants to see, and it is also a situation that many far-sighted courtiers do not want to see.
After Sun Ce analyzed the benefits of the imperial court sending troops at this time for Liu Xie with great interest, Liu Xie was noncommittal, and just asked, "Bo Fu, what is Gongjin's attitude towards this?" ”
Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, and only replied a little depressed for a long time: "Gongjin disagrees with the minister's opinion. It is too early to say that it is too early to send troops at this time, and it may even outweigh the losses. ”
"Well, it seems that Gong Jin's mind is still sober. Bo Fu, I came in a hurry this way, I must be hungry, and I just didn't eat either, a piece? ”
“…… Holy Lord, what about sending troops? Sun Ce asked without giving up.
"Isn't Gong Jin already very clear. Bo Fu, Jiangdong will be recovered by the imperial court sooner or later, but the time has not yet come, so you don't have to be anxious. ”
"Saint, the minister just thinks that sending troops at this time has a great chance of winning."
"Whenever you send troops, you have a chance of winning, the key is when you have the least casualties. Bo Fu, you have been leading the troops for some days, don't you know that the court's pension is much more generous than that of the princes? Of course, fighting a war requires death, but as the commander of an army, in addition to winning, he has the responsibility to make the sacrifices of his subordinates worthwhile. Risking the lives of others for the sake of fighting for a breath is a kind of general I would rather not use. ”
“…… Saint, isn't the minister a qualified general? ”
"You are qualified to fight on the battlefield and make decisions on the spot, but a successful general is not just able to fight. Compared to Gong Jin, you are obviously unqualified. But you don't have to be in a hurry, the battle always has to be fought, just wait for the right time. ”
Liu Xie said it so bluntly, Sun Ce also knew that the imperial court would not send troops at this time. Long before coming to Chang'an, Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Ce not to waste his strength, even if Liu Xie was moved by Sun Ce's words, those resourceful people in the court would stop him. It's just that Sun Ce was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to return to Jiangdong in vain, so he rushed back to Chang'an in person with the idea that he would not die without the Yellow River. The result was disappointing, Liu Xie really did not agree to the imperial court sending troops at this time, as Zhou Yu expected.
"It's rare to come back, stay in Chang'an for a few days and then leave." Liu Xie entertained Sun Ce and asked him to speak when he left the palace, and Sun Ce also happened to miss his wife and children a little, so he thanked him and returned home.
Sun Ce's mansion was placed opposite Zhou Yu's house, and the two families were separated by a street, and when Sun Ce returned home, Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao was coming over with her children. Seeing Sun Ce come back, Xiao Qiao said goodbye and left, so that Sun Ce could talk to Da Qiao about some private words between husband and wife.
Xiao Beisheng is a new love, after finishing the Zhou Gong ceremony with Da Qiao, listening to Da Qiao tell about his parents' shortcomings, Sun Ce was a little drowsy.
"Husband, are you tired?" Seeing that Sun Ce was tired, Da Qiao asked with concern.
"Ah, I've been on the road for the past few days, and I haven't had a good rest." Sun Ce replied casually.
“…… Husband, can the concubine ask her husband why he rushed back to Chang'an at this time? Why didn't Gong Jin come back with you? Big Joe asked again.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I heard that Jiangdong was going to war with Liu Bei, and my husband felt that it was an opportunity to send troops to Jiangdong, so I rushed back from Qingzhou, but the saint didn't agree, and let me rest at home for a few days before returning to Qingzhou. As for Gong Jin, he wasn't optimistic about my idea, so he didn't come back with me. ”
“…… Husband, do you want to send troops to Jiangdong, is it because you miss your mother? Da Qiao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and asked softly.
Sun Ce didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and Da Qiao persuaded when he saw this: "Husband, in fact, there is no need to worry about my mother, although Zhongmou is ruthless, but it is also his mother after all, not to mention that my mother has not stopped Zhongmou's ambitions, I believe that Zhongmou will not harm his mother." ”
"I naturally know this, but my mother is alive, but as a son of man, I can't do my filial piety on my knees, and I always feel a little unhappy in my heart." Sun Ce explained to Da Qiao when he heard this.
"Husband, it's still a bit difficult to be filial at the moment, but there is still something that needs to be solved by husband." Seeing this, Da Qiao said softly.
"Huh? What's the matter? Could it be that someone is still making things difficult for you while I and Gongjin are away? Sun Ce asked in confusion.
"It's not that someone is making it difficult for me to wait, but your baby girl, she is now about to grow up and be harmed." Da Qiao said the helplessness on his last face.
"What's wrong with Shang Xiang?" Sun Ce was also puzzled when he heard this. Since beating Sun Shangxiang into the Luanwei camp, he has indeed been honest for a while, and when he and Zhou Yu left Chang'an, Sun Shangxiang was also obedient and never went out to cause trouble.
She didn't bully ordinary people, but since she became the captain of the Luanwei battalion, she took the Luanwei battalion from time to time to find trouble with the garrisons in Chang'an, and she also called it martial arts. She is a daughter's family, how can those big husbands do anything with her, but she took the Luan Wei camp to fight all over Chang'an's invincible hands, and was nicknamed Rouge Tiger. ”
Sun Ce couldn't listen to this anymore, when he was in Jiangdong, he was called the bow-waisted Ji, but now in Chang'an, she is getting more and more popular, and the bow-waisted Ji has become a rouge tiger, what a rouge tiger, isn't it a tigress. If this continues, who else would dare to marry her?
"Where's she?"
"Now I don't have a home all day, I stay in the Luanwei camp every day, and I also threaten to be the first female general of the Han Dynasty." Big Joe continued.
Sun Ce: "......"
……
The next day, Sun Ce simply cleaned up and came to the gate of the Luanwei camp alone, wanting to meet Sun Shangxiang in person. The eldest brother is like a father, and his father Sun Jian is long gone, so the responsibility of educating these brothers and sisters falls on Sun Ce's head. At the beginning, he didn't want to take care of this matter for the sake of the Sun family's great cause, but now that he finally has some time, Sun Ce feels that it is necessary to educate Sun Shangxiang and let her understand what she should do as a daughter's family.
"Brother, when did you come back?" Sun Shangxiang, who hurried to the camp gate after receiving the report, immediately ran over in surprise and asked when he saw Sun Ce.
"I just came back yesterday, and I heard your sister-in-law say that you are like a fish in water in this Luanwei camp, and you don't even want to go home, because my brother wants to see you, so I have to come by myself."
"Hey...... I'm afraid what my sister-in-law said is worse than this, right? Sun Shangxiang didn't care, he smiled and pulled Sun Ce, "Brother, find a place for our brothers and sisters to talk well." ”
"You're not going to take me in?"
"The barracks are heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter." Sun Shangxiang said solemnly. I almost didn't make Sun Ce's nose crooked, no need to ask, the idle people in Sun Shangxiang's mouth refer to himself.
"Hey~ The children's things are really serious." Sun Ce said with a look of disdain.
"Brother, my little sister doesn't dare to agree with this. Luan Wei Camp is usually responsible for the security of the harem, but it is not a child's play. Brother, I advise you, don't look down on women, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. ”
"Oh? I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know if my ability has risen, but this eloquence has risen. Sun Ce didn't take Sun Shangxiang's reminder to heart. But anyone who has the ability has a bit of pride, and Sun Ce was also the lord of Jiangdong back then, and ordinary people were not taken into his eyes at all, the reason why Sun Quan was able to attract many supporters, among which Sun Ce's proud personality was also one of the main reasons.
He will always appear superior unintentionally, and naturally not many people like this will want to associate with him. If there is nothing to ask for, who wants to be inferior.
“…… Brother, you must know that the arrogant army will be defeated. Since the elder brother felt that the Luan Wei camp was useless, the younger sister dared to invite the elder brother to come and give it a try. Recently, the little sister is studying a battle formation, if the elder brother is interested, why not teach a few tricks? Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Ce with ill will and asked.
Sun Ce's purpose in coming to Sun Shangxiang was to suppress Sun Shangxiang's arrogance and make her understand the truth that there are people outside the world. Sun Shangxiang's proposal was in Sun Ce's heart, and he immediately nodded and agreed.
The battle formation that Sun Shangxiang said was naturally not thought up by Sun Shangxiang, but by Liu Xie's own thinking, with a group of ten people, four people holding swords and shields, four people holding hooks, and two people holding bows and crossbows, forming a battle formation to face the enemy. Since Sun Ce intends to try the formation, it is natural that he has to face a one-to-ten situation.
However, Sun Ce is also a master of art and bold, he didn't pay attention to the ten heavily armed female soldiers in front of him, picked a spear and stood on the school ground.
As the old saying goes, the arrogant soldier will be defeated! Sun Ce is indeed strong in martial arts, but the ten female soldiers against him are not delicate little ladies. As Sun Shangxiang said, Luan Weiying guards the safety of the harem, and if he doesn't have any ability, he will definitely not be competent. And Liu Xie is not a master who likes to look like goods, if the Luanwei Battalion is just a bunch of vases, he will not allow the Luanwei Battalion to exist as a regular establishment of the Han Army.
It's a pity that Sun Ce didn't know this, and as a result, he suffered a loss. In order to prevent casualties, the weapons used by both sides were all for training, the knives were not opened, and the guns were not headed, but the female soldiers of the Luanwei battalion did not besiege Sun Ce as soon as they came up, but after surrounding Sun Ce, they took out a fishing net and threw it at Sun Ce.
As soon as he saw the movements of these female soldiers, Sun Ce knew that this was not the first time that these people had done this. Dodging left and right to avoid those fishing nets falling from the sky, but he paid attention to the top of his head and forgot his feet, Sun Ce's feet made those fishermen who fell to the ground trip.
"Kill!" Seeing that Sun Ce's movement was restricted, Sun Shangxiang, who was the temporary squad leader, let out a shout and pounced with the remaining nine people.
Sun Ce blocked left and right and wanted to break through first, and then fight back after getting rid of the current unfavorable situation, but Sun Shangxiang was also shrewd, and he stubbornly pestered Sun Ce to prevent him from getting away. The desperate posture, as if Sun Ce was her father-killing enemy, looked at Sun Ce with a chill.
Sun Ce was eventually defeated. If he really did it, Sun Ce would have no problem cleaning up the ten people he was fighting against. But the problem is that Sun Ce can't do it, they are all big girls like flowers, if they really hurt a good person, people who know will definitely not praise Sun Ce's bravery, but will only say that Sun Ce is not martial.
"Now I finally understand the bitterness in the hearts of the garrisons in Chang'an, this is the tigress who can't be provoked." Seeing the female soldiers of the Luan Wei Battalion cheering for victory, Sun Ce smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Brother, how's it going? The female soldiers of my Luan Guard Battalion are not vases, are they? Sun Shangxiang asked Sun Ce with a smug face. Since he was a child, Sun Shangxiang has always had a dream, hoping to defeat his brother, and now he has finally got what he wants, Sun Shangxiang is in a good mood at this time.
“…… You dead girl, you're really ruthless, and those who don't know think I'm your father-killing enemy. Sun Ce rubbed his forehead and said to Sun Shangxiang angrily. When he was just competing, he counted Sun Shangxiang's black hand, and knocked a few sticks on Sun Ce's head, and at this time a big bag had already been puffed up.
"Hey...... There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, who calls you brother, you look down on us women. Sun Shangxiang replied with a grin.
Seeing this, Sun Ce had no other way but to shake his head, patted the dust on his body, and said to Sun Shangxiang angrily: "Shangxiang, find a place, our brothers and sisters can talk well." ”
"Oh, brother, please come with me." Sun Shangxiang agreed when he heard this, and took Sun Ce to his barracks. Sun Ce followed into Sun Shangxiang's barracks without squinting, looked around at the layout in the barracks, and couldn't help sighing: "Shangxiang, do you really plan to be a general?" ”
"Why not? In ancient times, there were good women and no beauty, why can't I be a female general of the Han Dynasty? Sun Shangxiang replied confidently when he heard this.
Sun Ce looked at Sun Shangxiang with some surprise, "Yes, I also know the scriptures, but the two people you said are married, who are you going to marry?" ”
“…… Brother, why did you suddenly talk about this? Sun Shangxiang's face turned red and he lowered his head and asked.
"The eldest brother is the father, of course I have to inquire about your marriage. It's just Shang Xiang, who in Chang'an dares to marry you, a rouge tiger? When you were in Jiangdong, you were just a little fight, and you got the nickname of the bow-waisted lady. Now that you have become a rouge tiger in Chang'an, what are your plans for your future? Talk to Brother Wei, so that Brother Wei can serve as a staff officer for you. ”
"Uh...... Brother, is there anyone who doesn't have long eyes and asked you to talk about it? ”
"I'd like to, but who would?" Sun Ce replied angrily. Now that Sun Shangxiang is famous, who eats the bear's heart and the leopard dares to marry this and go home to offer.
"It's good if you don't have it, so you don't have to delay my big thing." Sun Shangxiang was visibly relieved.
Seeing this, Sun Ce was angry and scolded: "You have a big fart matter, and finding a husband and a son is what you should do." ”
"Brother, little sister doesn't dare to agree."
"Shut up! Say it again for the elder brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and you are not allowed to refute the words of the elder brother. ”
"If you don't say it thoroughly, you can't tell the reason, although the eldest brother is like a father, the elder brother can't decide the future of the younger sister." Sun Shangxiang also lost his temper and argued with his neck stalked.
"You, you ......" Sun Ce was so angry that he couldn't speak, he didn't listen to what he said, he was reluctant to beat, and for a while, Sun Ce also had nothing to do with Sun Shangxiang, who had a bullish temper.
"Mother's here." Just when the brother and sister were about to break up unhappily, there was a sound outside the door, Sun Ce didn't care about getting angry with Sun Shangxiang, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "The minister has seen the queen's mother, Mrs. Zhao." ”
"General Sun is exempt. This palace is free today, I came to visit the Luanwei camp, and when I passed by here, I heard that your brothers and sisters had a dispute, and I don't know what is going on? Zhen Mi asked Sun Ce with a smile.
"Uh...... This, the minister and the sister had some disagreements, which disturbed the mother, and hoped to forgive the sin. Sun Ce didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized. But Sun Shangxiang didn't have Sun Ce's concerns, and when he saw Zhen Mi asking, he told Zhen Mi what had happened, and Sun Ce was so angry that he glared at Sun Shangxiang, but it was not easy to attack in front of Zhen Mi, so he could only hold back the fire in his heart.
"General Sun, this is your family matter, and it is inconvenient for this palace to comment as an outsider. But Bengong feels that when marriage is a major event, she should find someone for Shang Xiang that suits her heart, if it doesn't meet her mind, won't it hurt her for a lifetime. Zhen Mi pondered for a while before he said to Sun Ce.
"What the mother said is very true. But the problem now is that this girl is too disagreeable, and Chen Zhen is worried that no one will dare to marry her in the future if she continues like this. ”
"If General Sun is worried about this, there is no need. In the future, if no one dares to marry Shangxiang, then the palace will ask the Holy Decree to give marriage, and I believe that no one will dare to disobey the decree at that time. Zhen Mi replied with a smile.
Sun Ce didn't have anything to say when he heard this, he had to talk about it, what else could he say? I had to thank Zhen Mi for her kindness and went home unhappy. As soon as Sun Ce left with his front foot, Sun Shangxiang hugged Zhen Mi's arm with his back foot, and thanked him: "Sister Zhen, you are so good to me." ”
"You, your brother is also for your good, shouldn't you talk to him like that, go back and admit your mistake to him, remember?" Zhen Mi reached out and pinched Sun Shangxiang's face, and commanded dotingly.
"Remember, I'll go back tonight." Sun Shangxiang happily agreed. Now with the guarantee of the queen's mother, Sun Shangxiang no longer has to worry about someone forcing her to marry, and she has the confidence to go home.
The words were divided into two ends, Sun Ce returned home, and as soon as Da Qiao saw Sun Ce's expression, he guessed that it was not smooth to "persuade" Sun Shangxiang this time. didn't let his son Sun Shao come forward at this time, and waited until there was no one else in the house to ask about Sun Ce's incident.
