The defeats of Lü Meng and Lu Xun were presented in front of Wu Hou Sun Quan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the blue-eyed prince looked at it for a long time, his face turned ruddy and turned purple, his unopened eyes were round, his beard trembled irregularly, and the battle report was pressed on the dragon case with a "snap", which shook the dragon case and made the trembling "buzz" sound.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun, who were kneeling on the ground, trembled, and did not dare to raise their heads on the ground, for fear that one would be accidentally killed by their master Chrysostom in the palace.

Sun Quan looked at the two kneeling in front of the dragon case, and asked sharply: "Gong Jin is conceited, defeated by Hanyang, and lost the father and son of the lonely general Taishi Ziyi; The talents of the two of you are not inferior to Gongjin, and they are so conceited that they lost the land on the north side of the river bank to the Han. If you don't kill the two of you today, how can you serve the public? Someone came, dragged Lu Meng and Lu Xun out of the noon gate and beheaded them to show the public! ”

As soon as he said this, a golden gourd warrior stepped forward and took off Lu Meng and Lu Xun from their crowns, wiped their shoulders and backs, and tied them up tightly.

The golden gourd warrior pushed the two to go to the noon gate to be executed.

The minister on the side looked at it, Wu Hou is really going to move! Looking at Soochow, where are there people who can fight well besides these two? If this really cuts off his head, then Soochow really has only one way left to surrender!

Prime Minister Gu Yong hurriedly went out of class to admonish: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" Never! ”

Sun Quan is angry, where is he willing to listen? He reprimanded: "The two of them were defeated one after another, and the unified army did not think about the city outside and defended it, but abandoned the city to attack the enemy, this is the crime of the general, shouldn't he be killed?" ”

"Your Majesty's words are very true. However, the Han army was strong, our army was weak, and the two generals who had commanded the army in the past could also hold on to the enemy. Today, it's just that Xiahou Yuan has been treacherous and put our army into the trap of the Han army, and it is not the fault of the two generals! Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will take back the oracle. Gu Yong said sincerely.

"Yes! Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life! Seeing Gu Yong come forward, the hundred officials led by Taichang Sun Shao also knelt in the hall one after another, pleading for the two.

After Gu Yong's persuasion, Sun Quan also felt remorse for the impulse just now, if he really killed the two of them, I am afraid that if Han and Wei attack soon, he will really have no generals!

Seeing the hundred officials pleading, he pretended to be angry, pointed at Lu Meng and Lu Xun and shouted in a deep voice: "Can you two know the guilt? ”

"The Sin of the Last General!" The two replied in unison.

"Today, for the sake of the hundred officials, I will forgive you two for your capital crimes. However, capital sins can be forgiven, but living sins are unforgivable. Punish the two of you with 200 sticks each, and go back to the army to receive the punishment! Sun Cai, you go to prison together! Sun Quan said coldly.

"No! The minions took the two of them to the execution! Sun Cai agreed.

Sun Cai, the eunuch in front of Sun Quan, was a smash hit and was quite relied on by Sun Quan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!" Lu Meng and Lu Xun hurriedly thanked them.

On the way from Jianye to Guangling, a four-horse carriage was very luxuriously decorated, and there was a person lying in it, with no beard on his white face, red phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, and a woman who was powdered and wiped his foundation.

Who is this person? It was Sun Cai, the eunuch sent by Sun Quan to the Guangling military camp to supervise the execution.

I saw Sun Cai pick up the curtain, probe outward, and shout loudly with that hoarse: "I said General Lu, General Lu, do you know why His Majesty asked me to give you a prison sentence this time?" ”

"This! I really don't know! Lu Meng and Lu Xun were a little sick to their stomachs when they looked at this dead ladyboy, but now they are controlled by others, so they have to pretend to flatter, "Your Majesty has always relied on your father-in-law, so when your father-in-law comes to prison, there must be something entrusted by Your Majesty!" Father-in-law rest assured, as long as it is a matter of the bus generation, the two of us will not hesitate to go to the soup! ”

"Giggles! Talking to smart people is a hassle! Both of you can see that Your Majesty wants to kill you two just for those civil officials. Otherwise, why does Your Majesty have to say that it is difficult to convince the public if you two are not killed? Therefore, in His Majesty's heart, the weight of the two of you is still quite heavy. Sun Cai lowered the rooster and said in a gloomy voice.

He said half of this, and the second half was gone. Just raised his head, he looked at Lu Meng and Lu Xun quietly, as if he wanted to find something from them, which made people look very uncomfortable.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun were still waiting for him to continue, but seeing that he stopped talking, they hurriedly looked up.

Looking at each other, Lu Meng couldn't help but shiver, an inexplicable fear began to spread from his eyes to his entire body, and he felt a cold air eroding along the blood vessels to his limbs.

Sun Cai suddenly laughed, and then said: "Your Majesty regards the two of you as your right hand, how can you bear to hurt the two?" Therefore, send a certain and you back to the military camp to be executed, you should understand the meaning of the lord at this time, right? ”

Although Lu Meng and Lu Xun had already guessed this, they were not sure.

Sun Cai said this, indicating that he still had a certain status in the Eastern Wu Army.

The two hurriedly saluted and said: "I deeply feel Your Majesty's sage and kindness, and I am also grateful to my father-in-law for his kind words in front of Your Majesty. ”

"Now that the second prince has understood, there is no need for a certain person to stay! You two can do it for yourselves! Sun Cai suddenly changed the topic and said, "The losses of our army are all because of the weakness of our army, and the strength of the Han army. Therefore, Your Majesty hopes that you two will go back and reflect on yourself. ”

After speaking, he instructed the coachman to turn the horse's head and return towards Jianye.

Why didn't Sun Quan punish Lu Meng and Lu Xun?

In fact, Sun Quan knew that both of them were due to Jiangdong Wuguo. Especially Lu Meng.

At that time, more than 100,000 soldiers of Jia Xu's army entered Yangzhou and lost several cities. If it weren't for Lü Meng's inauguration, I am afraid that the cities of Jiangbei would have already become vassals of the Han army.

Moreover, the people that the Han army feared were only Lu Meng, Lu Xun and Lu Su. If Lu Meng and Lu Xun are killed, I am afraid that it will really be the result of "the relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast".

Therefore, Sun Quan took advantage of the steps of the hundred officials to intercede and let the two go.

Sun Quan inherited the legacy of his father and brother, embraced Jiangdong and became independent. But Sun Ce only called himself King Wu at that time, and did not ascend the throne as emperor; However, he did not pay tribute to anyone, and dominated the counties of Jiangdong.

This stems from Zhou Yu's persuasion. Zhou Yu thought that Liu Qian was powerful, and he had jurisdiction over internal affairs, which was far more prosperous than Wu Wei; The people's aspirations and scholars' hearts are all stronger than Wu Wei; Therefore, in the future, the Han Dynasty will eventually unify the world, and it is not appropriate to be called the emperor, but to be called the king.

It was Zhou Yu's persuasion that Sun Ce called the king self-reliant, but did not claim the title of emperor.

It was precisely because of these words that Sun Quan was inadvertently heard that Zhou Yu was suspicious and scruples of Sun Quan every day during the time he assisted Sun Quan......

Now, the Han army is getting stronger and stronger, and its territory is getting smaller and smaller, is it really going to surrender in the next days? No, my father and brother have a hard time starting a business, how can I give up so easily?

His heart was very hesitant......

However, he was also sympathetic to Cao Ang, the first emperor of the north.

When Xuzhou mutinied, the news of Xiahou Yuan's return to the Han Dynasty reached Xindu.

The whole Wei State was shocked, and the civil ministers and military generals did not change their color. Xiahou Yuan was a cronie of Cao Cao's old department, and he rebelled overnight, wouldn't it make people lose their face?

The First Emperor held the letter in his hand and muttered to himself tremblingly: "Uncle Miaocai, why is this?" Why? In the past, I cherished the friendship between you and the emperor, and I did not blame you! Don't you know it in your heart? Thou hast forsaken me today, are thou worthy of the first emperor? ”

Hu Ben Zhonglang General and Xun Yu's eldest son Xun Yu took out the class recital and said: "Your Majesty, Xiahou Miaocai is the elder of my dynasty and the two dynasties, and he is the favorite general of the former emperor. This time he privately sent troops to attack the Han army, which shows his loyalty, if he was not framed by Lu Meng of Eastern Wu, how could he be captured by the Han army? And his two sons and one daughter have already surrendered to the Han Dynasty, although the old general is loyal, and his sons are all greedy for profit, and it is understandable to force him to surrender! ”

"Bold Xun Xun, he actually uttered such a big rebellious remark!" Before he could finish speaking, one of them stood up from the class and shouted loudly, "Xiahou Miaocai held himself as the elder of the two dynasties, completely ignoring the favor of the first emperor, and actually defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and his crime should be punished by the nine clans!" ”

Everyone was still watching, and it turned out to be Shang Shuling's attack.

Chang Xi, a native of the East China Sea, is talented and resolute, although he is a scholar, he has the demeanor of a general, and he is decisive in killing.

"Lord Shangshu, the old man is just to comfort Your Majesty. Thou shalt not talk nonsense! Xun Xun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly changed his words.

"The Xiahou family has committed treason to the enemy, and the entire Xuzhou has returned to the Han Dynasty. Cao Ang naturally won't cure Xun Xun's sin because of this, or is Xuzhou important!

Hearing the question of the Son of Heaven, hundreds of officials in the court immediately discussed, and many of them proposed to send troops to recapture Xuzhou.

General Zhenwei Wu Zhen came out of the squad to play: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should send troops to recapture Xuzhou." Just ......"

This Wu Zhen only said half of what he said, and he looked left and right to eat, and there was no follow-up.

Wu Qian, a native of Jiyin, a native of Yuancheng, a general of Zhenwei, and a feudal marquis.

When General Zhu Ling saw it, he hurriedly asked, "General Wu, what is it?" Say it. I'm dying! ”

Wu Zhen looked at the people next to him, and said cautiously: "The minister thinks that our army sent troops to recapture Xuzhou, and it must be Sima Zhongda, the former governor of the army and horses!" ”

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other, and they all understood in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say more.

The First Emperor Cao Ang looked at the ministers above the court and asked, "Sima Yi Sima Zhongda?" Could it be that among the dozens of generals in my court, there is no one who can compare with Sima Zhongda?"

Wu Zhen took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the non-ministers are inferior to each other, but Sima Zhongda's talent is comparable to that of the non-ministers. The Han Dynasty had Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, whose unpredictable talents were unrivaled. If it weren't for Sima Zhongda in our dynasty, I'm afraid that the Han army would have already attacked Dongjun. Now Zhuge Liang is engaged in internal affairs in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there are only a few young generals in the border defense, as long as Sima goes out of the mountain, Xuzhou is afraid that it will not be difficult to recapture! ”

The Son of Heaven hesitated in his heart, and said in his heart: It is easy to send God and it is difficult to invite God! At the beginning, you all said that the defeat was because of Sima Zhongda. In your opinion, I demoted him. And why is he used today?

His heart was uncertain, but his eyes were looking for the object of lobbying Sima Yi among the hundred officials.

He has followed Cao Cao on the battlefield and officialdom for more than 20 years, and since the age of sixteen, he has been on the battlefield, participating in large and small meetings, and still has a certain amount of experience in knowing people in disguise.

Suddenly, he saw Taichang Zhao Zhi.

That's him.

He smiled at Zhao Shi and said, "Zhao Aiqing, this time I still need you to go to Sima Zhongda's mansion to ask Sima Gong for me." ”

"Huh?!" Zhao Shi listened, what? Isn't that killing me? How could Sima Zhongda be so easy to please?

"Huh?! Isn't Aiqing willing to do this for me? Cao Ang's face sank and asked.

Zhao Shi hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Ah! Your Majesty, how could the minister not want to? It's just a moment of joy, a little carried away! ”

"If you want to, why don't you go quickly? I and all my servants are waiting for you in the court! "Cao Ang is really ruthless, this is forcing Zhao Zhi! I heard, "Go and come back quickly, the queen is now enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden with Aiqing's wife!" ”

Zhao Zhi's heart is gone! This fucking emperor really isn't a good guy!

I had no choice but to ask Sima Yi......
