Chapter Ninety-Five: Wushan Suo Jade Seal
After all, you have to rely on yourself in everything.
A simple sentence came into Sun Ce's ears, but it made him suffer a lot, and he felt that this sentence hurt his wounds, and it was also extremely ironic. Thinking that his father used to level Jiangdong and was the head of all the princes, he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, how heroic he was. It's a pity that because of a moment of carelessness, he was framed by the villain by mistake. And when it came to him, he actually wanted to join the incompetent Yuan Shu's subordinates as a general!
Sun Ce raised his head, looked at Zhao Yue, and said with some resentment: "Zhao Yue, we are already surrounded by you at this moment, you don't have to bother talking, hurry up, I, Sun Ce, am determined to lead my subordinates to fight you to the death, Jiangdong man, will definitely not wag his tail and beg for mercy on the enemy!" ”
When Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi and other generals around heard this, they also raised their vigilance and stared at the soldiers under Zhao Yue.
After hearing this, Zhao Yue's face did not change, and she said indifferently: "Although I surrounded you today, I am not prepared to do anything to you, so ...... Let's go, what I just said to you is just to make you understand one thing, no matter how difficult things you want to do, always rely on your own strength, don't always think about relying on the strength of others, in that case, what is the difference between being a loser? ”
"You're going to let us go?" Sun Ce's words were full of disbelief and doubt.
"That's right, your father and you also let me go in the past, I can't be ungrateful, I hope ...... After you leave this time, don't go back to Yuan Shu, and don't forget my affection. ”
When Sun Ce asked, Zhao Yue actually took a while to think about the rhetoric. He can't say that he wants to find a few firm allies in the east of the world, relieve his worries, and then enter the west with peace of mind, so he let Sun Ce go.
That is too sincere, and it is too inconsistent with the objective laws of survival in troubled times. Zhao Yue was used to finding the right motivation for her actions, and she didn't have to do things as simply as before. Otherwise, his small force will soon be remembered and swallowed up by a group of sinister and cunning people.
If you want to deal with a group of cunning people and get benefits, you have to make yourself more cunning.
After saying that, he also wondered in his heart whether the reason he said was tenable. Think about it. It seemed to be reasonable, and Zhao Yue showed a kind smile to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce saw Zhao Yue's smile, and a kind of warmth overflowed inexplicably in his heart, but he still looked at Zhao Yue with an embarrassed face and said, "I have to return to Wancheng, because some of my relatives are still there." ”
Zhao Yue was afraid that this favor would not be big enough, and when she heard the words at this time, she was secretly happy in her heart, and said decisively and neatly: "It's okay, you order your soldiers to take off Yuan Shujun's military uniform and give it to me." I have my own way to get Wancheng. At that time, your family will be small, and I will take good care of it. When you and others come back one day, I will also send them to you. ”
"So, do you really want to do me Sun Ce a favor?"
Seeing that the expressions of Sun Ce and the generals around him were somewhat soothed, and the hostility gradually subsided, Zhao Yue knew in his heart that his plan had been implemented. It's just that he can't show any joy, because it will be perceived by his opponents that he has gained far more than they imagined.
He didn't understand these truths originally, but after coming down from Songshan Mountain. The more he looked, the more he understood, and the more he thought about it, the more thoroughly he became. Although troubles often haunt my heart. But the actual feeling of this change gave him an indescribable sense of fullness.
"Why don't I do you this favor, I just hope that you don't become a person who is spurned by the world, such as the old money juniper, I believe you won't, right?"
Sun Ce has an arrogant temperament. But he is still quite righteous, and when he heard the words, he clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Don't worry, my Sun Ce Zhi'en Tu Bao is definitely not the kind of treacherous junior." If you let me go this time, it means that I owe you a favor from the people of Jiangdong, and if we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will retreat! ”
Zhao Yue nodded silently, waved his hand, and ordered his soldiers to get out of the way. And Sun Ce also ordered his soldiers to take off their uniforms and leave Wushan quickly.
Just as Sun Ce was about to leave Zhao Yue's side, one of Zhao Yue's heralds suddenly brought a letter from Wu Shanzhi's Zuomeng idiot. Zhao Yue didn't hesitate at all, took the letter and read it, only half of it was read, then patted his thigh on the horse, and said secretly: "How did I forget such an important thing, thanks to the reminder of the idiot!" ”
It turned out that Meng Idiot said to Zhao Yue in his letter that in the past, Sun Jian found the jade seal of the country in Luoyang City, which was engraved by the first emperor Ying Zheng when the Qin State was founded, and there were eight big characters written by Li Si "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity". Before Sun Jian died in battle, the jade seal was in the hands of Sun Ce, this time he was trapped in Wushan, although he could spare his life, but the jade seal said that he had to get it!
"Sun Bofu!" Zhao Yue shouted on the horse, startling everyone who was about to leave.
Sun Ce and his generals all turned their heads slowly, looking at Zhao Yue's anxious face, he smiled and said, "What? The eldest husband has said a word, do you want to repent? ”
Zhao Yue Zhengse said: "Of course not, it's just that I let you go and take care of the family for you, I always feel a little too kind, shouldn't you do more?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Yue felt that she was a little too demanding of interests and ignored the morality of the world. However, he can't take care of it anymore, and if he is too entangled in interests and morality, it will make him constrained and difficult to decide. This time, he wanted to return the jade seal, but also to let the ancestors' spirits in the sky be comforted.
Sun Ce frowned, as if he was re-evaluating Zhao Yue in his heart, and after a while, he spoke: "You are right, but I am now defeated and poor, and I have nothing else to give you; In this way, I, Sun Ce, swear here, if you really let me go, and take care of my family for me, I will divide one side in the coming day, and sacrifice the five cities to you first! ”
"I don't want any five cities, even if I want, I will lead the soldiers to capture them. What I want, it's in your hands right now. ”
"What?" Sun Ce didn't realize what Zhao Yue really wanted for a while.
"What I want is the heirloom jade seal that your late father Sun Wentai salvaged in Zhengongjing in the south of Luoyang City! That was my ancestor the first emperor ordered people to sit on the He's bi, and now the thing has returned to its original owner, which can be regarded as justifiable. ”
When Sun Ce heard this, his brows furrowed instantly, and without thinking about it, he immediately and decisively refused: "This matter must not be done, my father died because of this thing, how can I give him away!" Besides, you keep saying that you are the descendant of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, but you have no evidence, and you can't talk about what you say about returning to the original owner! A hand waved vigorously in front of him, which seemed to represent Sun Ce's firm belief.
Zhao Yue gave his subordinates a color, and the soldiers blocked the road, raised their weapons, and made a desperate appearance. When Sun Ce's soldiers saw this scene, they let out a whine-and-wail.
Zhao Yue couldn't bear it in his heart, and he also knew that it was unkind to rob while the fire was hot, but he had no choice, the only thing he could do was to rely on the so-called "filial piety for the ancestors" to defeat the last good in his heart, and said viciously word by word: "At this moment, your whole army is my subordinate prisoner, you are not qualified to tell me whether it is okay or not!" ”
"Shameless people, our soldiers are willing to swear allegiance to General Sun Bofu to the death, and they are never willing to sacrifice the jade seal to a vicious person like you."
The words of Sun Ce's soldiers made Zhao Yue's heart suddenly cold, and he hesitated a little.
yes, I really didn't expect that one day, he would be called a vicious person. But among the princes of this troubled world, who survives by virtue? Of the three emperors and five emperors of the past dynasties, which one won the world by virtue of goodness?
Zhao Yue stood on his horse, drew his sword, and said unmoved: "Even if you refuse to give it up, I will kill you all, and then obtain the jade seal, which is the stuff of my ancestor the first emperor, and I have a clear conscience!" ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember the scene when he broke off his relationship with Zhang Duan before, and even recalled the beautiful picture before. This is a great contrast to him now, but he can't turn back, so he made up his mind ten thousand times, and roared angrily: "As for whether it is vicious or not, I can't let you talk about it!" ”
"Taking our family as a hostage and asking for a jade seal, isn't it vicious, what is it!?"
"Hmph, I, Zhao Yue, am by no means as unbearable as you say, even if you refuse to hand over the jade seal this time, I will kill you and take the seal, and I will definitely not hurt your family, I will send them to Luoyang to be treated kindly!"
This tone, this tone, and this look.
Including Zhao Yue herself, none of the soldiers around him reacted, is he still the same boy he used to be? (To be continued.) )
