Fei Yuan walked out of Guan Yu's mansion dejectedly, got into the car in a daze, and ordered to go back to the post house. When Sun Shao went to see Sun Shao, he also rushed to see Guan Yu, his luck was a little better, Guan Yu didn't clean him up like Sun Shao kicked Sun Shao, but he didn't see him either. Fei Yuan stood in the front hall for an hour, and Guan Yu didn't even give him a reply, as if he didn't know that he was waiting outside to receive him.

You have a thousand words, but what do you say if you can't meet them? Fei Yi sighed, but he was helpless. When he saw Sun Shao with a pale face, he was still a little envious of Sun Shao, at least Sun Shao now knew what Sun Shao meant, but he didn't know anything about what Guan Yu was thinking.

After thinking about it, Fei Yi knew that he could not complete this task, so he had to send a messenger and ask Liu Bei to send another master to Wancheng to negotiate.

After consulting with a few cronies, the Son of Heaven finally bowed to reality, agreed to Yang Biao's suggestion, and issued an edict to seal Guan Yu as the king of Jing, with Nanjun as the feudal country, and Jiangling as the capital; Feng Sun Shao was the king of Yue, and Huiji was the king of Yue, and he was renamed Yue Guo, all of which were Shanyin.

As soon as the edict was written, the whole city was shocked, and everyone's eyes were focused on Guan Yu and Sun Shao, and Sun Shao and Fei Yuan even raised their hearts to their throats. They knew that although this was Cao Pi's trick, it was Yang Biao who really contributed to this, and Yang Biao was giving a signal that Sun Quan and Liu Bei would not come again, and the Son of Heaven would have little patience. Sun Shao went to Jiangdong, Guan Yu occupied Jingzhou, and there was no part for you.

Just when Fei Yi was at a loss, there was good news. Guan Yu refused the reward of the Son of Heaven, and wrote a letter with blood on the steps, asking the Son of Heaven to crown Liu Bei as king. His reason is very sufficient, Emperor Gaozu has the alliance of white horses, and different surnames are not allowed to be crowned kings, and if there are violators, the world will attack them. Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and he is not against the White Horse Alliance, and he is the king of Liu Bei's generals, and his merit is also Liu Bei's credit.

Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei can be seen in the moon!

Fei Yi let out a long sigh, and the whole person almost collapsed on the ground. If Guan Yu accepts the throne, then Liu Beike will really die without a place to be buried. Seeing Fei Yi relieved, Sun Shao didn't dare to relax, he thought about it, but he couldn't help it, he still couldn't think of any good way. He sent someone to inquire, but the news was shocking, Sun Shao accepted the edict of the Son of Heaven, and went to the palace to thank him.

Sun Shao is king.

Sun Shao was struck by lightning, his eyes were no longer focused, and he sat there stupidly, stunned. The attendants were stupefied, and they slapped and shouted for a while before they woke him up. As soon as Sun Shao came back to his senses, he burst into tears. Sun Shao became the king, and he showed the people of the world that he and Sun were incompatible, and Jiangdong was ruined!

He hurriedly wrote again and reported this important news to Sun Quan.

The temporary Yue Wangfu that had just been replaced with a plaque, Sun Shao was drinking tea slowly, and Zhou Xun, Yue Hai and others were sitting in front of him with different expressions. Zhou Xun, Yue Hai, and Sun Huan had gloomy faces, and they were very dissatisfied with Sun Shao's acceptance of the edict of the Son of Heaven and calling him king. If you have any opinions with Sun Quan, it is all a family matter, and the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized, and at this time, it will hurt Jiangdong a lot to call the king. Do you really think that without Sun Quan, how much energy can you have? Whether it is the Son of Heaven or Cao Pi, they are just trying to split the forces of Jiangdong and Yizhou, Guan Yu can recognize this, but you can't resist the temptation?

Cui Qian and the others didn't care, and they were even a little excited, Sun Shao said that the king was a good opportunity for them, and they didn't need to go through Sun Quan if they added officials to the knighthood or something in the future. Sun Shao and Sun Quan turned their faces, and in the future, they will rely more on them who were born as pirates, and it is expected that they will be reused.

Chen Hai, Ding Feng and others were embarrassed, neither were they opposed nor supported, so they had to keep silent.

Sun Shao didn't refute a word, just looked at them quietly, until everyone stopped talking, then gently touched the teacup with the lid of the celadon cup, glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "It's all over?" ”

"That's it." Sun Huan arched his hand angrily: "But you have thanked you, and it is useless for us to say it." ”

Sun Shao laughed, still without any explanation, his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and finally retracted it to the teacup in his hand, his tone was calm and calm: "I don't want to explain anything to you about this matter, and besides, Shuwu is right, this is already a fact, and there is no point in explaining." I do things and I don't like to force people. Some of you have been with me for three or four years, some have only been for a few months, and now I am going to establish a country, if there is something unacceptable, we will gather and disperse, and if we meet on the battlefield in the future, we don't need to have any scruples, each for his own master, let go of his hands and feet. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Sun Huan suddenly changed color, Sun Shao was driving people away, and the target was obvious, mainly aimed at him and Zhou Xun, because they were originally sent by Sun Quan to spy on him.

Sun Shao stood up, patted his sleeves lazily, and glanced at everyone again: "If anyone still has a little confidence in me and is willing to stay and help me, I am also welcome." If anyone is low on confidence now and wants to jump out of the circle to see the situation first, I have no objection. The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose the lord to serve, which is also human nature. Although I, Sun Shao, am not a saint, this measure is still there. With that, he put his hands behind his back and went into the inner room with ease.

Cui Qian didn't think about it, got up and followed, caught up with Sun Shao in the corridor, and bowed: "Cui Qian swears to follow the king to the death." ”

Sun Shao's mouth crooked, looked at Cui Qian and smiled: "Jianzhong, you don't think about it anymore?" ”

Cui Qian smiled: "The minister has made a decision under the West Roll City, and there is no need to think about it." ”

"Good." Sun Shao nodded, and affectionately reached out and patted Cui Qian's shoulder: "I'm tired of being here, right?" Do you want Zhu Ya? ”

"Yes." Cui Qian smiled embarrassedly: "There is no sea breeze blowing, and I feel uncomfortable." ”

"Bear with me for two more days, and then we'll go to sea." Sun Shao laughed and pondered for a moment: "I wronged you to be a general of the left." ”

Cui Qian was overjoyed, turned over and bowed to the ground, raised his hands above his head, and shouted: "Thank you for the king's grace, and I am willing to serve the king." ”

Yue Hai and the others who were still in the hall heard it sincerely, their faces became more complicated, Sun Shao was obviously testing their confidence in him, Cui Qian did not hesitate, and immediately promoted to General Zuo, what about the others? Chen Hai couldn't sit still, he got up and strode over, Ding Feng saw him get up, and hurriedly followed, and the two turned over and bowed down in front of Sun Shao: "The ministers swear to follow the king to the death." ”

Sun Shao showed a pleased smile and kicked Chen Hai: "Shaft, I thought I was going to find another right general." Chen Hai was a little bitter in his mouth, he should have been ranked in front of Cui Qian according to his qualifications, but this hesitation fell behind Cui Qian. He grinned in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

"Cheng Yuan, if you are wronged, be a general, you will take the Destroying Battalion for me."

Ding Feng kowtowed in thanks.

Yue Hai listened to the sound behind the house, like sitting on pins and needles, he glanced at Zhou Xun and Sun Huan with some embarrassment, and finally gritted his teeth and got up in a hurry. Sun Shao stood in the corridor, watched Yue Hai stride over, and said with a smile: "My rear general is late. ”

Yue Hai smiled and fell to the ground.

Zhou Xun and Sun Huan smiled bitterly at each other. Sun Shao was very willing to give people benefits, and he sealed four generals in one breath, and the generosity of his hands and feet is really rare. But then again, these are all his cronies, and he probably made arrangements a long time ago, as for the former general, needless to say, there is a ** for Su Thick Legs. Although Sun Shao never said anything about Su Thick Legs, it was impossible for Zhou Xun and Sun Huan who were as smart as Zhou Xun and Sun Huan not to guess this, all they wondered about was what method Sun Shao used, and actually let Su Thick Legs stab Sun Quan in the back without hesitation.

But Zhou Xun and Sun Huan can't do this like a few of them, Sun Huan is a clan, he can't abandon Sun Quan because of greed for wealth, Zhou Xun is thinking about his family, Sun Shao is doing this, he is clearly going to break with Sun Quan, if he stops by Sun Shao's side again, his mother and younger siblings will definitely be in trouble. The two of them looked at each other for a while, and finally said in unison, "Let's go and quit." ”

After saying that, both of them laughed.

Sun Shao looked at Zhou Xun and Sun Huan, who were embarrassed, didn't say anything, nodded and agreed with their decision. Zhou Xun and Sun Huan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and exited Sun Shao's study, and walked to the door, Sun Huan stopped again. Zhou Xun knew that he had something to ask Sun Shao, so he left first. Sun Huan stood by the door, his two hands clasped together, his fingers pinched and loosened, released and pinched for a few rounds, then he made up his mind, turned around and walked in front of Sun Shao again, and bowed respectfully to the ground: "His Royal Highness King Yue, Huan has something unclear, I want to ask His Highness to explain." ”

When Sun Shao saw that he didn't leave at the door, he knew that he had something to say, but he didn't urge him, and now Sun Huan called him His Royal Highness the King of Yue, knowing that Sun Huan had made up his mind. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't show it on his face, and sighed: "Say it." ”

"Your Highness is wise, can't you see the weirdness among the feudal kings?" Sun Huan raised his head and looked directly at Sun Shao, with incomprehension, anger, and disappointment in his eyes.

"What do you say?" The corners of Sun Shao's mouth twitched, and he asked rhetorically when he met Sun Huan's gaze.

Sun Huan was stunned, he didn't expect Sun Shao to answer this way, he thought for a while and said: "The minister thought that His Highness must have seen through the mystery, but what the minister didn't understand was why His Highness would accept it." General Guan rejected the edict and instead asked for Liu Bei to be crowned, why did His Royal Highness accept the title instead? ”

"You mean, I should do it like General Guan?"

Sun Huan nodded, that's exactly what he thought.

Sun Shao let out a long breath, as if this breath had been held in his heart for a long time, and it was only now that he spit it out, and it seemed that he still had an unfinished meaning. He tilted his head slightly, looked at the blue-black roof, and after a while, said lightly:

"Shuwu, you go back and tell him sixteen words."

Sun Huan was even more sad to see that Sun Shao no longer called Sun Quan the supreme, but directly replaced him with "he". He bowed his head, tears welling up in his voice, and his voice was full of sadness.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, I will offend. After Sun Shao finished speaking word by word, he waved his hand, signaling that Sun Huan could go, turned around, picked up the book on the case again, and never said a word again.

Sun Huan smacked it carefully for a while, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have captured something. He wanted to ask again, but Sun Shao turned his back and didn't look at him again, so he had to swallow the words that came to his lips and bowed: "The minister must bring the words." Retire! ”

...... "If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone offends me, I will offend?" What do you mean? Sun Quan gasped, and his bloodshot blue eyes glared at Sun Huan: "Is he challenging me?" ”

Sun Huan fell to the ground, and his voice was crying: "Supreme, the minister doesn't think so." The minister thought that this was Feng Xian expressing his position to the Supreme. The minister dared to ask the Supreme Being, before this matter, did Feng Xian have any disobedience? ”

Sun Quan choked, thinking about it, it seemed that he was suspecting Sun Shao Buchen, and there was no conclusive evidence, even if Su was stubborn this time, he only doubted, and there was no evidence that Sun Shao played any role in it, and he didn't save him when he saw death, so that Sun Shao and Guan Yu stayed in Wancheng for nearly half a year, and were almost trapped to death by Cao Ying, but it was obvious to everyone.

But Sun Quan is not the kind of person who is blinded by appearances, he thinks about things far farther than a young man like Sun Huan or an outsider, in fact, not only for Sun Shao, but for everyone who may pose a threat to him, he will take the same precautions.

However, how can such words be said to Sun Huan? Besides, what's the use of saying it, Sun Shao has already claimed the king, he has already made it clear that he wants to fight against him, and he wants to turn his Huiji County into his Yue Kingdom, is it necessary for him to say anything right or wrong? Even if he wrongly blamed Sun Shao before, but now, everyone in the world can prove that Sun Shao betrayed him.

Therefore, he has no interest in answering Sun Huan's questioning, and there is no need to answer. What he has a headache now is how to deal with Sun Shao if he comes to meet him. Sun Shao, the king of Yue, was sealed by the Son of Heaven, and there is not only the court behind him, but also Cao Ying, who is eyeing him, without too much doubt, Cao Ying will definitely support Sun Shao to get the Huiji, and if he doesn't make it, Liu Bei will take advantage of the fire to rob.

What's more, there is a more important problem now, Su Thick Leg has been in trouble in the East China Sea, Lu Fan is not his opponent at all, except for Sun Shao, no one in the entire Jiangdong can pacify the East China Sea, and the people on both sides of the Qiantangkou who have suffered the most have been boiling with public resentment, and the families of Yu, Teng, Zhou, and Wei are extremely resentful.

Sun Quan was anxious, he wanted to prove very much that he could control the situation, pacify the East China Sea, catch Su Thick Legs, and then break him into pieces after getting his confession against Sun Shao, but at the same time, he clearly realized that there were no people under him who could subdue Su Thick Legs. If he wants to stabilize the rear and deal with possible conflicts with all his might, he must bow to Sun Shao.

For Sun Quan, this choice will make him lose face, and it is likely that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Facing Sun Huan's questioning, Sun Quan was so angry that he was panting, but he was helpless. He carefully smacked Sun Shao's sixteen words, and what he sniffed out was Sun Shao's contempt, Sun Shao's anger, and Sun Shao's condescending arrogance.

You provoked me first, so I want you to look good.

Sun Quan had a splitting headache, and there were gold stars in front of him, and he waved his hand painfully, asking Sun Huan to go down and rest first. Sun Huan saw that Sun Quan's face was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, just like when he was still on an errand by Sun Quan's side before he came to Sun Shao's side. In a trance, Sun Quan seemed to forget that Sun Huan had just questioned him about Sun Shao's matter, leaned weakly on the table, stretched out his neck, and motioned for Sun Huan to help him pinch a few times.

Sun Huan skillfully turned to his back, helped him pinch it lightly, pinched it a few times, Sun Quan soothed a little, he looked at the front blankly, his eyes were dull, his eyes were motionless, and after a while, he said to himself: "The children of my Sun family are not as good as Liu Bei, a courtier with a different surname, it really disappoints me." ”

Sun Huan's hand paused, and then slowly squeezed it again, Sun Quan felt his hesitation, and asked again: "Shuwu, you have been by his side for so long, tell me, what is he thinking?" ”

Sun Huan was unhurriedly pinching his shoulder socket while thinking, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "Supreme, you must know about Sun Changshi being injured by him, right?" ”

Sun Quan nodded, he was angry about this. Sun Shao actually injured his long history Sun Shao, is there still him in his eyes?

"That's the only time I've seen him angry in all my time." Sun Huan recalled the situation at that time, he still shuddered, he never thought that Sun Shao, who had always been gentle, would be like that, he didn't doubt it at all, if it wasn't for Guan Feng to let Sun Shao out, Sun Shao would have beaten Sun Shao to death.

"In the past few years...... He was really not very angry. Sun Quan answered, and suddenly his heart moved. Why is Sun Shao angry? It was because he hated him for not saving him when he saw death, and hated him for killing people with a knife. But despite this, he only vented his anger on Sun Shao, not on his Sun Quan, it stands to reason that the culprit is him Sun Quan, it is impossible for Sun Shao not to understand this, there is no need for him to be angry with Sun Shao.

Is he saving face for me?

Sun Quan suddenly sat up straight. Sun Huan was taken aback, thinking that he had pinched it heavily, and hurriedly bowed to the ground. Sun Quan didn't have time to pay attention to him, he stood up and walked back and forth in the big tent, his steps were big and urgent. He laughed one moment, then pinched his eyebrows in contemplation, his face kept changing, as if he had thought of something, but he was not sure.

"Gongxu, you immediately invite Gu Gong, Zhuge Ziyu and a few of them."

Zhu Ji responded and left in a hurry. It didn't take long, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, Teng Tan and others arrived. Sun Quan first asked Sun Huan to tell him about Wancheng, especially Sun Shao's acceptance of the Son of Heaven as king. As soon as they heard that Sun Shao was called the king of Yue and wanted to use Huiji County as the Yue country, everyone was stunned, even if Gu Yongping was so happy and angry, he was shocked by the news and changed his face. Last time Sun Mo sent the news back, they only knew that Cao Pi had a divisive plan, and the Son of Heaven was still thinking about it, and they all felt that with Sun Shao's resourcefulness, they would definitely be able to see through it, and they would not be fooled by this. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao actually became the king.

The meaning of this, everyone here knows, they all bow their heads and are silent, saying the wrong word at this time is likely to trigger a civil war in Jiangdong.

"King Yue?" Lu Meng first let out a disdainful sneer: "Why? Just with his more than 10,000 pirates, or with the edict of the Son of Heaven? If the edict of the Son of Heaven had been so useful, the world would have been peaceful. ”

Sun Quan glanced at Lu Meng and did not say anything. Lu Meng was not in good health during this time, and his mood was also very bad, because of Jiang Qin's death, he was very angry with Sun Shao, and it was difficult to analyze the problem calmly at this time.

Sun Quan immediately turned his gaze to Gu Yong again.

Gu Yong was silent, as if he hadn't seen Sun Quan's gaze. Sun Quan frowned, and then understood, he repelled everyone, except Gu Yong. In the large room, the two sat opposite each other. Sun Quan bowed and bowed: "Gu Gong taught me." ”

Gu Yong returned the salute: "How dare the minister." ”

Sun Quan still bowed respectfully: "Gu Gong, Feng Xian's move made me mess up." If I meet him with a sword, I can't face my brother's spirit in the sky, and if I tolerate him to continue to mess around, then the Jiangdong foundation will not be guaranteed, and I still can't explain to my father and brother, this is really a dilemma. ”

Gu Yong's long eyebrows trembled slightly, and he said slowly: "Supreme, I don't know what Feng Xian thinks now, but judging from the sixteen words he sent back, he has resentment, but he shouldn't have the intention of taking the initiative to be an enemy of the Supreme." ”

Sun Quan nodded, and it was precisely from this that he saw this meaning, so he felt that things might have a turn for the better. What he couldn't figure out was that since Sun Shao didn't want to be his enemy, why did he call him king, this was obviously a divisive plan.

"So, the priority now is to figure out what he's thinking." Gu Yong raised his head, and his gentle eyes made Sun Quan slowly quiet down: "We are thousands of miles away from Wancheng, and it is difficult to find out the true situation of Wancheng with just a few words sent by the fast horse. Judging from his previous records, he is not that impulsive person, and he should not fall for Cao Pi's plan because of a throne. Perhaps, he has his thoughts, but we can't guess. ”

Sun Quan was a little unhappy, Gu Yong's words had some meaning to exonerate Sun Shao. Even if Sun Shao has any difficulties, but now that he is the king, even the officials and subordinates have begun to be deployed, it is clear that he no longer obeys the orders of his uncle, what is the point of sending people to Wancheng at this time?

Gu Yong seemed to see Sun Quan's displeasure, and he continued: "The Supreme thinks that Guan Yu will ask for the title of prince for Liu Bei, will the Son of Heaven agree?" ”

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully, and after a while, he nodded: "It should be." ”

"Cao Ying can be called king, Liu Bei can be called king, even Feng Xian can be called king, why can't the Supreme be called king?"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, yes, everyone is called the king, from now on an equal footing, no longer need to look at anyone's face, and this is the Son of Heaven, the name is justified, with this prince, he no longer has to worry about the Jiangdong scholars saying that he is not coming from the right way. What's more, if he becomes king, the awkward hierarchical relationship between him and Sun Shao that has just been formed can be reversed.

"That'...... Who to send to Wancheng? ”

"The most trusted person of the Supreme."
