Chapter 1102: The Whetstone

The Imperial Study.

Sun Quan stood up from his position, took a file from the imperial desk with his right hand, and then strode out, walked in front of Pan Feng, and smashed these files on Pan Feng's face: "Take a good look at this thing!" ”

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Pan Feng was stunned for a moment, his tiger eyes widened, and he looked at Sun Quan with some puzzlement.

"Do you know what this is?" Sun Quan's face looked a little hideous, and he asked himself coldly: "I tell you, this is the casualty statistics report file of the Central Army, do you want to see the numbers in it?" ”

"128,182 soldiers killed and 21,000 seriously wounded......"

This file has been scattered all over the place, Pan Feng looked down, a pair of tiger eyes reflected a series of numbers recorded on it, and his heart couldn't help but tighten a little.

Even if he was mentally prepared, this casualty data still made it impossible to face it.

It's just a legion?

The Western Expedition and Guanzhong Campaign that broke out that year probably didn't add up so many casualties.

In the face of such casualties, the unwillingness in his heart disappeared, and he even had a feeling that his death was not a pity.

"Pan Wushuang, do you only know what kind of mood I felt when I saw this file sent by the Logistics Department?"

A flame burst out from the depths of Sun Quan's eyes, burning Pan Feng's heart in a raging manner, he deceived him in one step, looked down, stared at Pan Feng's eyes, gritted his teeth, and a cold voice burst out from between his teeth: "To be honest, I had the heart to kill a few of you at the beginning, do you still feel wronged to bear this sin?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general will confess!"

Pan Feng's face turned red in vain, he knelt down on his knees, his tiger eyes were full of tears, and he said in a low voice: "It's a son of a certain family who is sorry for the Central Army!" ”

"I'll ask you again. You, Pan Wushuang, are the head of the military aircraft, and the commander and commander of the battle in Runan, is it wrong for me to be guilty of such a defeat? Sun Quan's voice was sharp, hitting him deep in the heart.

"That's right!"

"Then you will be removed from the position of the head of the military aircraft. Are you still unwilling? ”

"The last general willingly confesses!"

"Very good, since you are willing to confess your sin, then it is good!"

Sun Quan smiled coldly, turned his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "I have already told you many years ago that you sat in this position, enjoyed the peak glory of the Great Wu army, and also carried the responsibility of the Great Wu military, the first battle of Runan. Victory or defeat is a common thing on the battlefield, if a general who has suffered defeat has to be guilty, then my Dawu will not have a famous general, no defeat, no win, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in battle, this responsibility, no one can carry it. I can only ask you to carry it, and you can say it's not fair. But you are the head of the military aircraft, and this is fair! ”

Sun Quan's words were a little inconsistent, but Pan Feng understood.

The two words of responsibility are as heavy as Mount Tai.

As the head of the military aircraft, it is his responsibility to lose so much. You can't escape.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to accept any punishment and dare to bear the responsibility of defeat, but the last general is a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's disposition, and the last general is unwilling to stay at home. I don't care about being the first person, but I want to be guilty! ”

Pan Feng raised his head and said word by word: "I am willing to start with a small soldier on the battlefield, please Your Majesty to fulfill it!" ”

"You're really a pig brain!"

Sun Quan patted his forehead speechlessly, and kicked it over: "I said it in vain, and I will let you be a small soldier!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, General Pan, you are a dignified military aircraft leader, no matter how Your Majesty is forced to be helpless, dismiss you from your position, let you be idle at home, in the military, that legion dares to use you!"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly stood up, grabbed Sun Quan, and then said with a smile at Pan Feng.

"Your Majesty, I can go to the martial arts hall!" Pan Feng thought about it, what Zhang Zhao said was right, after all, he retired from the position of the head of the military aircraft, the rank is still general, and the title is still the four great princes of Wu, who dares to use him, so he retreated and said.

"you!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he became even more angry, and said: "From today on, you have thought about me behind closed doors at home, when will you calm down and come to see me again, without my order, if you dare to take half a step out of the house, I will let people break your legs!" ”

"No!"

Pan Feng trembled, and hurriedly lowered his head to receive the order, muttering in his heart: "If you don't go, you won't go, why are you so angry!" ”

"Get out, I don't want to see you!" Sun Quan was not angry.

"Yes!"

Pan Feng raised his head, looked at the angry Sun Quan with some caution in his eyes, and hurriedly left the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"

Zhang Zhao looked at Pan Feng's back and was a little puzzled: "It's also a good thing to let him go to the martial arts hall!" ”

"Zibu, you said that Pan Wushuang has been the military boss for so many years, commanding millions of soldiers in the military, why does he still want to go to the battlefield and charge into battle?"

Sun Quan sighed a little and said, "I'm not angry, I hate iron but not steel!" ”

"Hehe, I see, Your Majesty, in fact, he was originally a straight temper, for so many years, he can sit in the center with his temperament, which is already very good!" Zhang Zhao smiled slightly, and there was a different color in his eyes: "Your Majesty is planning to use him for other purposes?" ”

"Of course, it's of another great use, the military aircraft department is a game of chess, if I want to play this game of chess well, no matter which chess piece I can't give up!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded, his amber eyes flashed with a bright light, and he said calmly: "Pan Feng is idle now, it is a helpless move, but in the future, he will be of great use to me!" ”

"Useful?"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, his aura moved, his whole body trembled, his eyes were a little shocked, he looked at Sun Quan's expression, and couldn't help but spit out three words: "Whetstone?" ”

"Haha, Zhang Shoufu is really a person who decides to be smart, but smart people are easy to die, because they often have no words, my Zhang Shoufu, you just think about it, you don't have to say it, otherwise I will be annoyed and angry, and I will be killed!"

Sun Quan walked up and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Because you said this, it seems that I am a little too shameless!" ”

"Weichen is thinking, if in His Majesty's heart, the cabinet is also a game of chess, I, Zhang Zhao, will become someone's whetstone!"

Zhang Zhao said calmly.

The whetstone, you can sharpen a handle, or you can grind a handle upside down, is it a stone or a knife, that is not necessarily?

"What do you think of yourself?"

Sun Quan shrugged, sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile.

He is a little shameless in making these older generations a whetstone.

But without these whetstones, those younger generations can't become atmospheric.

"Gu Yong, or Lu Su?"

Zhang Zhao squinted.

Maybe in the future, he will take over his position one day as the second assistant Zhu Zhi, but Zhu Zhi is not young now, and when he retires, he will take over again, at most, it will be a few years of resistance and transition to the power of the cabinet.

Since Zhou Yu withdrew, the second-generation successor of the cabinet is estimated to be either Gu Yong or Lu Su, and now in the cabinet, these two people are the most popular.

"It doesn't matter who it is!"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth raised a slight unfathomable smile: "The important thing is that you have to grind them out fiercely!" ”

"Your Majesty, if you say this in front of Wei Chen, aren't you just shameless!"

Zhang Zhao glanced at him and said very unhappily: "I haven't retreated yet, let you say this, I always feel that I will be killed on the beach by the back waves sooner or later, a little entangled!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Sun Quan looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's not just you, sooner or later, I will be killed on the beach by the back waves one day, as the so-called talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years, this is fate!" ”

"Your Majesty, this verse is really magnificent!"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, his heart was shocked, his hands arched, and he said complimentally.

"Okay, don't compliment me, Pan Fengzhen has solved it, but there seems to be no news from the new head of the military aircraft!" Sun Quan squinted slightly: "I asked you to give Cheng Pu a little bit of clarity, how did you do?" ”

"I've already gone to see Cheng Pu!"

Zhang Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "I really guessed it, his blood is not cold, his heart is not extinguished, it should not be difficult to invite him out of the mountain, but I estimate that he is a little entangled, and this requires His Majesty to open his heart knot personally!" ”

"It seems that I am going to Zhongshan to meet this uncle!"

Sun Quan rubbed the temples on his forehead helplessly, he remembered something, took out a book from the imperial case, and then handed it to Zhang Zhao: "Zibu, what's going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the resignation of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department!"

"I know, I just asked you, why did Shen Shangshu resign!" Sun Quan said: "According to what I pointed out, whether it is a high name or Gongsun Kang, if you want to take over the position of Shangshu, you owe a little fire!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not Shen Shangshu who is carrying the burden, it's Shen Shangshu I'm afraid it won't work!" Zhang Zhao sighed and replied in a low voice: "He has been seriously ill for a few days, and it is estimated that it will only be a few days!" ”

"What?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled: "When did this happen, why didn't anyone inform me?" ”

"He couldn't get out of bed more than a month ago!"

Zhang Zhao said with a wry smile: "At that time, our court was staring at the Battle of Kwantung, and he didn't want to bother His Majesty because of this matter, so he didn't let anyone report it!" ”

"Lao Shangshu has worked hard for Dawu, and now he is so tired that I am afraid it is also because of the affairs of the imperial court!"

Sun Quan felt a little sad in his heart: "I should have let him go earlier, maybe he could enjoy his old age in peace!" ”

"Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death are the cycle of heaven, and this is none of your business!"

Zhang Zhao said comfortingly.

"Tomorrow I will go to see him in person, so what is the opinion of the cabinet on the matter of the Criminal Department now?" Sun Quan calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

"Shen Shangshu recommended a high name, but there are ministers in the cabinet who recommend Gongsun Kang!"

Zhang Zhao said: "This has been discussed for a long time, but since His Majesty was assassinated in Jinling, the Divine Capture Division was impeached, and Gongsun Kang carried the black cauldron, he was out, and now the cabinet has preliminarily agreed to take over the throne!"
