Chapter 17 This is a play
At this moment, Cao Zhen rushed to Liaodong, as soon as he heard about it, he was in his arms, and ran to Sun Shao and said, this matter is too angry, in this case, even if Sun Quan gives up his son, he has to save your son, the reason is very simple, he has two sons, but you only have one. He patted his chest and said, If His Royal Highness King Yue needs it, my Wei State is willing to share the enemy's hatred and help you teach Sun Quan, a guy with no conscience, if it weren't for King Yue, where would he be qualified to be the king.
Sun Shao sneered, does the general of the protector want to help me take revenge, or take the opportunity to negotiate conditions?
Cao Zhen was serious, as if he had been insulted, he jumped up, I really want to help you, how can you look at me like this.
Sun Shao disagreed, he said to Cao Zhen, I am very grateful to the general of the army for helping me, but what I am most anxious about now is not the war, I am most anxious about the base area. You also know, my Yue Kingdom is trapped in the territory of King Wu, this fight, it must be impossible to hold it, since the general of the protector army wants to help me, then do you see if Liaodong can be given to me first?
Cao Zhen was speechless for a moment, Cao Pi said to him that Sun Shao would take advantage, he didn't care too much at first, but now he believes that Sun Shao will indeed take advantage, at this time, he actually wants Liaodong, but it is reasonable.
It is absolutely impossible to negotiate with such a person. Cao Zhen put away his contempt, and endured the relationship between the surname and Sun Shaotao, of course, this relationship started with Xiahou Hui, Xiahou Hui's mother is Cao Zhen's sister, he is Xiahou Hui's uncle, otherwise how could Cao Ying send him.
With this relationship, it is indeed much easier to talk about, Sun Shao was anxious to go back and settle accounts with Sun Quan, and he was not in the mood to grind his teeth with Cao Zhen, and they quickly reached an agreement. Liaodong County is still under the responsibility of Youzhou Mu Cao Zhang, but the area south of Liaodong, including Lelang County and Obifang County, was ceded to Yue State, as for the territory of Goguryeo and Buyeo, we will talk about it later, and the area of Sanhan in the south will also belong to Sun Shao in the future, if Sun Shao needs their assistance, then talk about the conditions. Cao Ying's purpose is to limit Sun Shao to the eastern front, not to let him gain a foothold on the east shore of Bohai Bay, Sun Shao now only occupies Lelang County and Daifang County, it is not easy to land directly in Jizhou, even Qingzhou, there is a vast sea in the middle, not to mention Cao Zhen has no concept of how wide it is, even Cao Ying has no concept, on the map of the Han Dynasty, this place is far away, the vast sea, it is impossible to cross. After the counties of Lelang and Daifang conquered Weiman Korea from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, they have not been the place of concern of the Han people, this place is too far away from the emperor and cannot receive any benefits, but often causes trouble, and gives it to Sun Shao, which is no different from throwing away a trouble for Cao Ying.
Relatives belong to relatives, and the advantage that should be taken is still to be taken, Cao Zhen took this opportunity to ask Sun Shao for a lot of benefits, which are for Cao Ying, also for Cao Pi, and of course for himself. In the end, Cao Zhen said half-truthfully, if you need our Wei help, you can open your mouth, we can march from the Jianghuai area to contain Sun Quan's troops on the western front, and if you contact Xishu again and ask them to march from Jiangnan, then Sun Quan will die.
Sun Shao didn't give him a letter immediately, but just said, this matter is my Sun family's family matter, I don't want to involve too much, the world has just been calmed, if my family matter is in chaos again, then won't I become a sinner? I will play the Son of Heaven, and if necessary, I will definitely ask the King of Wei for help.
What Cao Zhen said was not entirely polite, but he really wanted to take this opportunity to provoke a war, and destroy the Wu State first, and destroy the Wu State, and the Yue Kingdom would be soon. didn't expect Sun Shao to be fooled, he could only accept it when he saw it, and went back happily.
After negotiating the matter of Liaodong, Sun Shao summoned the invisible former general Su Thick Legs, officially gave him the seal of the former general, and appointed him as the governor of the East China Sea, stationed in Lianyungang, with jurisdiction over the sea area north of the Yangtze River estuary to Youzhou, including the three Han and the Wa kingdom that need to be conquered in the future. Speaking of which, if you only count the area, this sea is about the same size as the Great Han Kingdom. Su Thick Legs was excited, he patted his chest and swore to Sun Shao that the minister would definitely guard this sea area for the king and ensure that no one would take advantage of my country.
The arrangement stopped, Sun Shao set sail with 20,000 sailors and a large amount of booty, and took advantage of the north wind to go straight to Jianye. Zang Ba and Sun Guan returned to their respective stations by the way, this time they followed Sun Shao to fight in Liaodong, they got a lot of advantage, not only promoted from the assassin to the state pastor, the status is more stable, and Sun Shao has established a good cooperative relationship, the strength will become stronger and stronger in the future, and it is just around the corner to get out of Cao Ying's control. They were very grateful to Sun Shao, not only supported Sun Shao with a large amount of food, but also personally sent him all the way out of Xuzhou.
After a short stay in Lianyungang, Sun Shao's sailors arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which was already under martial law, and Sun Shao, the Taishou of Guangling, personally rushed to Sun Shao's ship, and bitterly persuaded Sun Shao to temporarily calm the wrath of thunder and not to start a war with Sun Quan. At the same time, Zhang Wen was ordered to rush to Sun Shao's army.
Zhang Wen was dusty, his face was a little haggard, and when he saw Sun Shao, he smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the world is in chaos." β
Sun Shao pursed his lips, didn't say a word, and listened to Zhang Wen speak.
Zhang Wen was ordered to go to Xishu as soon as he started the year. Shu is now very stable, the danger of Bajun has been lifted, Liu Bei's heart has been put down, Guan Yu has made great contributions in Nanyang, and he has been recalled to Chengdu to serve as a general, and Zhuge Liang, who is appointed as the prime minister, is a writer and a martial artist, assisting Liu Bei. A few years ago, Guan Yu received two thousand war horses sent by Sun Shao, and he was very happy, praising his son-in-law for his filial piety, and not forgetting his father-in-law when he had benefits. Just when he was proud, Jianye's proton incident reached Chengdu, and Guan Yuden was furious, and entered the palace overnight to ask Liu Bei for an edict, to send troops to attack Wu and avenge his grandson. Liu Bei was also coaxed by the two thousand war horses to be full of joy, seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and clean up Sun Quan, without saying a word, without discussing it with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he agreed to Guan Yu's request and mobilized a large army to prepare for the expedition. After Zhang Wen, who was on an envoy in Chengdu at the time, heard about it, he entered the palace to persuade Liu Bei, and hurriedly transmitted the news back to Jianye. He easily appeased Liu Bei, and rushed back to Jianye only to find that it was not only Liu Bei and Guan Yu who moved when he heard the wind, but Cao Ying also moved, and he wantonly increased troops in Jianghuai in the name of helping Sun Shao.
Among them, the court in Luoyang is the most embarrassing, of course the Son of Heaven knows that Cao Ying and Liu Bei have bad intentions, and they want to destroy Sun Quan and break this balance, but he is not easy to stop, Sun Shao just gave him a generous gift, so it is reasonable to help Sun Shao say a few words at this time. So the Son of Heaven issued an edict to rebuke Sun Shao, but at the same time advised all parties to be rational and not to use swords lightly. Of course, no one listened to these words, not only Cao Ying and Liu Bei ignored them, but Sun Quan also thought he was a fart, they all rushed to the door, I am not ready to go to war, can I still wait for death? Sun Quan just wrote to the Son of Heaven, explained the reason, and asked the Son of Heaven to mediate, but he was preparing for war with one mind.
The situation in Wu suddenly became very tense.
began to prepare for the war, and Sun Quan felt that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his imagination. Not only are there many external enemies, but there are no available people inside, the generals he originally believed in are divided into three categories, one is the veteran left by Sun Ce, this kind of people are almost dead, only Han Dang and a few others are left, of course, this kind of people can't be used. The second type is the cronies he cultivated, led by Lu Meng and Lu Su, but both of them are sick, Lu Meng's illness is very serious, since Jiang Qin died in battle the year before last, he has not been better, Lu Su is a little better, but he alone can't block a few sides. The third category is the clan, like Sun Jiao and the like, but the hearts of this kind of people have changed now, Sun Jiao's eldest brother Sun Song is now the Zongzheng of Yueguo, how dare he use it?
There is another type of people, such as He Qi and Lu Xun, but Sun Quan sadly found that he didn't dare to use these people, Lu Xun is Sun Shao's brother-in-law, He Qi's son He Da is a general under Sun Shao, I heard that he has been doing well in Zhuya recently.
In the end, only Bu Qi, Lu Fan, Zhou Tai, Quan Cong, Lu Dai, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and others can be used. He promoted some young people in the firing line, such as Lu Meng's son Lu Ba, Chen Wu's sons Chen Xiu and Chen Biao, Jiang Qin's son Jiang Yi and others, but it was far from enough.
Sun Quan originally wanted to simply take advantage of the opportunity of this war to recapture Huiji, but now as soon as he settles the account, he finds that it is good to be able to hold his own territory, and this is not counting the Yue soldiers of Qian Tang may take the opportunity to go straight to the heart.
Originally, I felt that I was living a very nourishing life, but Sun Shao didn't feel anything when he cooperated happily with him, but now when he turned his face with Sun Shao, he realized that his strength had unconsciously become Sun Shao's strength, and he not only had many external enemies, but also many internal enemies. Sun Quan was in a hurry at this time, he thought about it, and thought of Fuchun's aunt Sun, and immediately sent someone to send the bridge over, and promised to take Mrs. Xu back immediately, and make her queen, please ask my aunt to intercede anyway, explain to Sun Shao, I really didn't mean it, don't fight at home, and in the end it was all cheap.
Zhang Wen was ordered to persuade Sun Shao.
"Your Highness is wise, the heart of His Highness is the general trend of the world, I don't have anything to say, Your Highness thinks it's better to do it, you can do it." Zhang Wen spread his hands and said nothing.
Zhang Wen didn't say anything, but Sun Shao quieted down. It seems that there are a lot of people who want to join in the fun, Guan Yu may really want to help him, but Liu Bei may not, as for Cao Ying, it is definitely ill-intentioned, as soon as he and Sun Quan start fighting, this matter is really difficult to do.
If you can't fight, then all that's left is to talk about the conditions, otherwise wouldn't you have done all such a big move?
"Okay, you go back, I won't embarrass you, let him prepare for war." Sun Shao waved his hand and said indiscriminately: "I won't unite with outsiders to fight him, I will fight him to the death myself." β
Zhang Wen said that he would not persuade him, in fact, how could he not persuade him, the reason why he put on a posture of resignation was nothing more than to retreat as advance, hoping that Sun Shao would see the situation clearly and give way first. However, Sun Shao obviously had no such plan, although he said that he would not join Cao Liu to fight Sun Quan, but as soon as they started fighting, how could Cao Liu and the others watch so quietly, they must have come uninvited. He thought for a moment, "Your Highness, is there any other solution?" β
"What's the solution?" Sun Shao's eyes widened, "There is a way, he sent Sun Ji to me and let me cut it with a knife, and everyone will be even." β
"This ...... Not suitable, right? Zhang Wen was taken aback, Sun Shao was a bit like he was preparing to kill Sun Quan. cut Sun Quan first, and then found a reason to kill Sun Deng when he turned around, and Sun Quan was completely stunned.
"What's inappropriate, his son is a son, and my son is not a son? He has two, and one dies and another, and I, I am only one, and by his will, my only son is gone. β
Zhang Wen was speechless, although Sun Shao's reasoning was a bit brutal, it made sense, no matter what, Sun Quan's matter was indeed inappropriate.
"What about the other way?" Zhang Wen had no choice but to be cheeky.
"There's no other way." Sun Shao got up and walked away. Zhang Wen just wanted to follow up and persuade again, Guan Feng, whose eyes were red and swollen and his face was blue, flashed out from the side, pulled out half of the long knife, looked at Zhang Wen coldly, saw that Zhang Wen was cold, and hurriedly retreated.
Just when Zhang Wen was helpless, Fuchun's aunt and grandmother sent someone to send a book, Daqiao was sick and dying in Fuchun, hoping that Sun Shao could go to see her as soon as possible. In addition, Sun Quan's matter was not handled well, I'm sorry Sun Shao, but Wu Yue started a war, no matter who wins, it will be a disaster for the Sun family, I hope Sun Shao can deal with this matter calmly. At the same time, she also told Sun Shao about Sun Quan's promise, the meaning is very clear, she hopes that Sun Shao will sacrifice and fulfill Mrs. Xu and Sun Deng, as long as Mrs. Xu becomes the queen of Wu and Sun Deng becomes the prince, what losses can not be made up in the future?
The old aunt and grandmother finally said, you are still young, take a few more concubines, and soon you will have a group of children again.
After Sun Shao received the book of his aunt and grandmother, he sat alone for a long time, and finally found Zhang Wen and Sun Shao, and showed them the book of his aunt and grandmother.
"My aunt and grandmother came forward, I can't help but give some face." Sun Shao let out a long breath: "But I can't swallow this breath." β
"You say." Before Zhang Wen could speak, Sun Shao spoke first: "What conditions do you have?" β
"First of all, I want a complete accounting." Sun Shao said word by word: "Secondly, I want the South China Sea." β
Sun Shao gasped and didn't dare to say anything. Anyway, the richest place has been occupied by Sun Shao, and it is not impossible to give him other places, but Nanhai is different, although the population of Nanhai is not as large as Wu County, but the commercial development in the past two years has been very fast, and it is one of the few large counties in Jiaozhou, is Sun Quan willing to let go?
"This is my bottom line, I talked to him for the sake of my aunt's face, if he didn't give it, I didn't want to talk, so I started a war."
Zhang Wen was a little hesitant, before he could speak, Guan Feng's voice came up at the door, she glared at Sun Shao angrily, burst into tears, and her hoarse voice was particularly harsh: "Husband, my Ah Yu is worth two counties, if my husband wants these two counties, I can ask my father for help, and I can help my husband take Jiangdong, why take these two counties to my Ah Yu?" I don't want these two counties, I want him to pay for his life! I want his life! β
Zhang Wen didn't dare to let go of a fart, so he said, "I'll go back and report", and walked away. Sun Shao's wife is not very fond of him, he knows it, in case Sun Shao is cried by Guan Feng again and changes his mind, then there will really be no turnaround. Sun Shao was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Guan Feng grabbed Sun Shao and couldn't cry, Sun Shangxiang and Xiahou Hui rushed over with a few female guards, and it took a lot of effort to pull Guan Feng in, and his fingernails were almost torn.
Sun Shaohu entered the inner room with his face down, and motioned to Sun Shangxiang, who was cut out by Guan Feng on his face, to go out first, Sun Shangxiang glanced at Guan Feng, who was panting and shrinking in exhaustion in the corner of the bed, and Guan Feng, who was crying silently, stomped his feet and went out with someone. Sun Shao closed the door with his backhand, pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, and then suddenly rushed to Guan Feng.
Guan Feng glared at him viciously, as if he was looking at a stranger, his hands were bent and extended, and he might pounce at any time. It has been more than two months since she learned the bad news, and she is almost crazy.
"I'll tell you ......"
"I don't listenβ" Before Sun Shao's words fell, Guan Feng screamed, his hoarse voice as ugly as sawing wood.
"You'll want to hear it." Sun Shao took another step forward.
"I don't listen, I don't listen." Guan Feng covered his ears: "You do business with Ah Yu...... Do you do business with Ayu...... I don't want to hear from you. β
Sun Shao looked around weakly, held Guan Feng's wrist with both hands, pulled her into his arms, put his mouth to her ear, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, he gasped, but he didn't dare to move, for fear that this pull would break Guan Feng's teeth.
"Silver...... Silver screen, you listen to me...... Say. Sun Shao grinned in pain: "Ah Yu...... Ah Yu is fine. β
Guan Feng, who was biting him hard, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, immediately let go of his mouth, pushed him away, and looked at him with round red eyes: "You...... What did you say? β
"Oh hey, you're too ruthless." Sun Shao tore open his collar and turned his head sideways to look at the wound on his shoulder, it was really miserable, a row of tooth marks was clearly visible, and blood beads quickly seeped out of the tooth marks and formed a line.
"Tell me, what's wrong with Ah Yu?" Guan Feng didn't care about looking at his wounds, grabbed him, and asked repeatedly.
"Be quiet." Sun Shao hurriedly covered her mouth, stared at her eyes, and lowered his voice: "You promise me first, after listening, you can't shout loudly." β
Guan Feng glared at Sun Shao, stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again. Sun Shao was still not at ease, he still covered her mouth with one hand, leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, Guan Feng's eyes were round, stunned, after a while, she suddenly burst into tears, pressed Sun Shao's hand with both hands, opened her mouth and bit it hard, and cried while biting: "Hello...... Ruthless...... You're so ruthless...... How can you hide it from me for so long, you don't ...... Know...... I hate it...... To die? β
Sun Shao was so pained that he inhaled the cold air, but he didn't dare to move, what Guan Feng was like in the past few months, he saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart, but he knew Guan Feng's temper, if he didn't hide it from her, he wouldn't be able to hide it from others, and this scene would be done in vain. In fact, it's not just Guan Feng, he is more worried about Daqiao, Daqiao must be taking all the responsibility on himself at the moment, and feels that it was her negligence that made Ah Yu die, with her surname, the old aunt and grandmother said that she is dying now, and Sun Shao is a hundred believers.
But what if you don't? Sun Quan wants to use Ah Yu as a bargaining chip and force him to work for him, the conflict between them will break out sooner or later, and it is better to hurt sooner rather than later. He is the chief director, he knows the ins and outs of this scene, and he is not worried about his son, what he is really worried about is Guan Feng and Daqiao, but he can't say it, he can only bury all the secrets in his heart. Today is to see that Guan Feng is really angry, for fear that she will not be able to think about it for a while, and kill herself with a knife in the middle of the night, so she will reveal the bottom to him.
Guan Feng burst into tears, and finally fell asleep in Sun Shao's arms, the torment of these two months had made her unbearable, if it weren't for the belief in avenging her son to support her, maybe she would have fallen long ago.
Sun Shao didn't dare to slack off, so he made medicinal porridge for Guan Feng to recuperate. He has always been by Guan Feng's side, not letting anyone get close to her, even Xiahou Hui and Sun Shangxiang came to see Guan Feng, and he did not leave. Guan Feng slept all night, and when he got up the next morning, he looked at Sun Shao who was lying beside him, and tears couldn't help but flow out again.
Sun Shao, who was awakened, saw it, sighed, and took her into his arms: "Get up and wash up, eat something, I've been suffering you these days." β
"Husband, am I particularly useless?" Guan Feng hugged Sun Shao's waist, trembled his shoulders, and sobbed silently: "You didn't tell me about such a big thing, are you worried that I won't be able to hide my thoughts, and I won't be as calm as Sister Yuanrong?" β
Sun Shao didn't know what to say, he originally thought that Guan Feng would blame him again, but he didn't expect Guan Feng to blame himself first. He smiled awkwardly: "No, Yuanrong doesn't know about this matter, only me and those two people know." β
"Who is it? Will they be able to take care of the children? β
"Don't worry about this." Sun Shao hesitated for a moment: "I didn't plan to let these two people show up, you must not tell the third person, Yuanrong and aunt are not good." β
Guan Feng raised his head and looked at Sun Shao with teary eyes: "I don't want to know who they are, I just want to see the children as soon as possible." β
"Now?"
"Now, I want to see him now, I can't wait any longer."
"I know you can't wait." Sun Shao scratched his head helplessly, got up and turned around twice: "The child is on an island outside Qiantangkou, I said that you are sick and want to rest, let people send you to the island, and you will stay there with the child for a while." β
"Okay." Guan Feng nodded impatiently, she didn't want anything now, she couldn't wait to fly to the child's side immediately.
"Mother's there...... Forget it, I'll have her take to that island too, you take good care of her, she may be worse than you this time. β
(To be continued)
