Chapter 609: A Night Visit to Jiang Hou Above
In the tension between the north and the south, time began to gradually enter June of the sixth year of the Warring States period.
At this time, Jinling City began to become more and more lively, although the war in the north began, the soldiers and horses of Jinling City were mobilized again and again, and even the core of the Imperial Forest Army was also dispatched to the north of Xinjiang, which throbbed the hearts of many people.
But it still conceals the atmosphere of welcoming the new king in this majestic capital.
Every household, the lights are colorful, and many people are wearing new clothes, looking forward to welcoming Sun Quan's imminent accession to the throne, which also represents Sun Quan's hearts in Wu State.
However, the young Zhang Hong has no intention of feeling the atmosphere now.
Originally, as the general of Zhang Yan's forward army, he was supposed to fight fiercely with the Karasuma people in Yuyang, but before he could fight a few battles, he was suddenly summoned back to Jinling City by a holy decree.
He was just a lieutenant general, but he was summoned by the new king's special holy decree, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
However, Zhang Yan told him, which should not be a bad thing.
His mood settled down a little.
After returning to Jinling, he was immediately taken directly into the palace before he was hot at the post station, and at this moment, his heart became even more nervous.
Under the leadership of a eunuch, Zhang Hong walked into the palace step by step with a nervous mood, and followed the golden corridor all the way to the end to the imperial study.
"The last general, Zhang Hong, meet the king!" Zhang Hong stepped in, looked at the bookcase, a white robe, concentrating on the figure of reading the book, his heart trembled, his legs knelt down, bowed and saluted, and his voice was respectful.
This is not the first time he has met Sun Quan.
In the past in Jizhou, he once fought side by side with Sun Quan, and Zhou Tai led him and fought with Sun Quan. That battle was fought very beautifully, and it also completely knocked on the last portal of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban to return to Wu, and later he did not participate in the Battle of Youzhou because of his injury.
But he was very impressed by Sun Quan.
In his heart, Sun Quan is more than just a prince. is still a prince who can risk fighting to the death for the sake of his eldest brother Zhang Yan, regardless of his noble identity.
Zhang Yan was besieged and almost wiped out, and the reason why he was able to escape from Jizhou in the end was because Sun Quan did not give up, so he relied on the same, and he always had a trace of gratitude to Sun Quan in his heart.
"You don't have to be so polite!"
Sun Quan's mellow voice sounded: "Get up!" ”
"King Xie!" When Zhang Hong heard this, he stood up at this time.
"Zhang Hong. We seem to be missing for a little bit of time, right? ”
About a quarter of an hour later, Sun Quan put down the brush in his hand, looked at the young man in front of him with amber crystal eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you remember me?" We fought together! ”
"In the past, when he fought side by side with the king in Jizhou, Zhang Hong didn't dare to forget the slightest bit" Zhang Hong immediately said: "The style of the king will always bloom in the heart of the last general!" ”
"Come on, that's a bit numb, okay. Don't tease you, do you want to ask now. Now that the northern Xinjiang is fighting fiercely, why does Lone want to call you back at this time? ”
Sun Quan stood up, walked out, and looked at the young man with a smile.
Zhang Hong, Zhang Yan's brother-in-law. In the past, the Montenegrin army was also a well-known vanguard general, with extraordinary force, well-read, and a brave and straightforward personality, not reckless. is a rare general.
"The last general does have doubts in his heart, is it wrong for the last general?" Zhang Hong nodded, his heart was beating, he glanced at Sun Quan, and asked cautiously tentatively.
"You didn't do anything wrong, but Lone has a task for you!"
Sun Quan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, walked to the small hall in front of the imperial study, and said, "Sit here!" ”
"Please, the king's command!"
Zhang Hong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
The task that can be promulgated by Sun Quan in person is by no means something that ordinary people can accomplish, but he is not afraid, but a little excited, and he is excited about the trust that Sun Quan gave him.
There are so many generals in Wu State, and with talents, Sun Quan can directly recall him back and explain this task, then the sense of honor of this task is definitely heavy.
"Then Lone won't go around in circles, Lone wants you to return to Montenegro!" Sun Quan squinted his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
"Back to Montenegro?"
When Zhang Hong heard this, he was a little stunned and asked, "Why is this?" ”
"The war in the north of Xinjiang has begun, and the Wu State can't draw troops to the south!" Sun Quan sighed and said: "It can be regarded as disrupting Lone's deployment in Jizhou, Lone predicts that in the past few years, we will not be able to get Jizhou, and if Wei State sits firmly in Jizhou, it will be even more difficult for us to take it back, and Lone naturally can't just forget it!" ”
"It's impossible to send troops, but Lone must not give up Jizhou like this, so Lone needs someone to reorganize the banner of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, just like a nail, nail me to Jizhou, and prepare for the Wu army to capture Jizhou in the future!"
Sun Quan explained in detail.
Montenegro, that is, the area of Taihang Mountain in later generations.
This is a good place to fight guerrillas.
Now that he is being ruthlessly calculated by Cao Cao, in a short period of time, if he wants to take back Jizhou, there is no hope for Wu Guo.
However, he can't be counted like this, he must press a nail in Jizhou, if there is the support of Wu State, if he wants to gain a foothold in Montenegro, it is still possible.
"The king, but the last general is not General Zhang Yan, I may not have the ability!" Zhang Hong understood and asked him to go back to his old profession and nail every nail in the enemy's henchmen.
It's not that he is unwilling, but he is a little unconfident, he is afraid of Sun Quan's bad things: "The king, General Zhang Yan, General Yang Feng, only have this ability and this prestige!" ”
"They can't leave, and the battle in Northern Xinjiang is indispensable to Zhang Yan's united front!" Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Yang Feng has now joined the navy, and it is not easy to transfer, and besides, I believe in you, if they can do it, you can do it too!" ”
"The king trusts him so much, how can the last general shirk it!" Zhang Hong's heart was excited, and he hurriedly said: "If the king does not give up, the last general is willing to return to Montenegro and reorganize the Yellow Turban Army!" ”
"Very good, Lone just likes confident generals!" Sun Quan stood up and took out a file from the bookcase. handed it to him and said, "This is a plan that Lone has made for you, you can take a good look at it during this time, and also, Lone gives you a right, you can choose some elite assistance from the former Black Mountain Army." You can also Jiangdong lecture martial arts hall, Jinling lecture martial arts hall, choose fifty martial arts students at will, and follow you forward! ”
The so-called plan is that Sun Quan referred to the later Eighth Route Army to establish a base and fight some guerrilla strategies, and he believed that although the times were different, some things could still be used.
"Thank you, King!" Zhang Hong was overjoyed. He carefully put the dossier away, and then asked, "When will you leave?" ”
"Wait until Lone ascends the throne!"
Sun Quan said: "During this time, you are ready, after returning to Montenegro, your situation will be very difficult, after all, across the land of Jizhou, we want to give you support, it is more troublesome!" “
"The king is relieved. Montenegro is where we used to be, there. We're familiar! ”
Zhang Hong nodded and said firmly: "The last general must be an elite Black Mountain Army in the King's Training Department!" ”
"If he wins Jizhou in the future, you should be the first to take credit!"
Sun Quan smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are not alone, there is another person in Jizhou who will help you, the son of Han Fu in the past." Han Tao will assist you in establishing the Wu base in Montenegro! ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
5th year of the Warring States period, June 5th, night.
This was the night before Sun Quan ascended the throne, and the entire Jinling City felt like a city that never sleeps. Everywhere was brightly lit, and many people were waiting quietly in front of the royal gate.
The great gift of enthronement is in Qianmen Square, which clearly stipulates that everyone can watch the ceremony, so many people are waiting for the moment when the city gate is opened, occupy a powerful position, and watch the new king ascend the throne face to face.
In this lively atmosphere, Sun Quan, the protagonist in the eyes of everyone, appeared in the Jianghou Mansion with a black hat and a covered body, which had been suppressed by heavy soldiers.
"This is the King's token, I'm going in!" Sun Quan carried a long wooden box behind him, handed over a piece of his own token in his hand, and said coldly to the soldiers of the Northern Army guarding the door.
He didn't want people to know that he had come to Jianghou Mansion, otherwise Li Nelusu and they would have to think about it, you know, their monitoring of Sun Ce was very strict.
"Please!"
The young Northern Army general guarding the door looked at Sun Quan with some doubts, and always felt that the figure was familiar, but looking at the genuine token in Sun Quan's hand, he was put inside.
Today's Jianghou Mansion is a little cold and lonely, there are not many people, and there are heavy guards around, and people are panicking, Sun Quan found Sun Ce in a courtyard in the backyard.
Under the night, in the pavilion, Sun Ce's shirt was messy, his face was full of stubble, sitting on a Taishi chair, holding a wine jar in his hand, his hair was scattered, and he was constantly pouring wine into himself, with a pair of eyes half-open and half-closed, squinting, looking at the sky.
The former mighty and awe-inspiring little bully is now a drunken and down-and-out young man.
"Husband, don't drink it, I'll help you back to your room!"
The pretty young woman Da Qiao waited beside him gently, tidying up his clothes, even if Sun Ce shouted angrily from time to time, there was no trace of impatience.
She is well aware of the bitterness in her man's heart.
She wanted to help Sun Ce back to the room to rest, but she couldn't move, and she was drenched in sweat and panting.
"Sister-in-law, let me come!" At this time, Sun Quan strode out in the dark, he looked at Sun Ce's somewhat self-defeating appearance, his eyes were cold, and he directly kicked on the Taishi chair.
Boom!
Sun Ce was careless, the whole person turned to the ground, and suddenly his heart was angry, the lion-like aura exploded, he turned over, and glared back directly, and the fierce aura in his eyes exploded: "Who?" ”
"Me!"
"Is that you?"
He recognized Sun Quan at a glance, and suddenly the whole person woke up from the smell of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "What are you doing here, come to see a certain joke!" ”
"I'll die to see if you're dead, if I had known that you were like this, I would have chopped off your head with a sword if I blocked the Xuanwu Gate, don't let you stay here and embarrass the Sun family!"
Sun Quan walked up, pointed at him, and said coldly: "You are really promising, alcoholic, beating your daughter-in-law, the Sun family has no one like you!" ”
"Get out, a certain family didn't beat a daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense!"
Sun Ce snorted coldly, the whole person was a lot more sober, and his eyes looked at his wife Da Qiao with a hint of apology, he was in a bad mood these days, and he did lose a lot of temper with his wife.
Sun Quan gently took off his hat, untied the rectangular wooden box behind him, and then looked at his sister-in-law Da Qiao, and said, "Sister-in-law, please get a few side dishes, a few jars of wine, and our brothers will get together!" ”
Da Qiao was a little surprised by Sun Quan's appearance, and even more afraid of Sun Quan's intention, she heard Sun Quan's words, and immediately looked at her man.
"Go ahead, get something delicious, don't worry, if he kills me first, he won't come alone, just his small body, I can pinch him to death with one finger!"
Sun Ce nodded, and then personally cleaned up the mess in the gazebo.
The two brothers sat down face to face under the bright moonlight, across the stone table, Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the current Sun Ce, and there was a feeling in his heart. (To be continued......)
