Chapter 129: Sun Ce decides, and the house talks
(ps: I have been in the information of leading troops in Chalusu, and there are very few descriptions of Lusu leading troops, and there are not many records to show, so I directly reduced the commander value of Lusu to 87!) )
Jiangdong Wu County, the main hall of the Sun family's mansion
Lu Su brought back from Liu Xiuna the conditions for peace talks with 'Sun Quan entering Chu as a hostage', and Sun Ce was furious when he heard this
However, Zhou Yu agreed very much, and even persuaded Sun Ce on the grounds of 'overall interests' and 'the first cause of the incident'
Under such persuasion, Sun Ce had a rare hesitation about this;
When he soon dispersed that little hesitation, he knew the potential, talent, ambition, etc. of his younger brother Sun Quan, so he had been increasing the cultivation of Sun Quan, and even handed over all the political affairs of Jiangdong to him, supplemented by many political talents under his command, and constantly trained him;
This is just because although Sun Ce is confident that his martial arts are not bad, he also understands that he is not a truly qualified lord, and he cannot become a hero who sits firmly in the Chinese army like Cao Cao and strategizes; He knew that with his character, maybe one day if he was not careful, he would return to the 'horse leather shroud'
Therefore, he wanted to prepare a way back for the Sun family and Jiangdong, and cultivate an heir from his three younger brothers who could better replace him
The three younger brothers, the younger brother Sun Kuang, have been frail and sickly since childhood, and they are full of literature and unprepared; The third brother Sun Yi is very similar to him, brave and decisive, Sun Ce sees him as if he sees himself; Only Sun Quan, who has both civil and military skills, has the wonder of Gou Jian, and the hero of the British; Therefore, Sun Quan is not only his younger brother, but also his Wanyi, Sun's Wanyi;
Thinking of this, Sun Ce seemed to have made a choice, and said firmly: "Gongjin, Zijing, no matter what, I will not send the second brother to Jingnan!" ”
Lu Su and Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's expression, and the two who knew Sun Ce's personality immediately understood the consideration of their own lord, and sighed helplessly: "Hey! ”
But Zhou Yu still did not give up and persuaded him: "Since Bo Fu is unwilling to conspire as a hostage, why don't you let Shu Bi go, anyway, it is okay to go with your life, and you can go to accompany your little sister!?" I don't know what Bo Fu means? ”
"You must know, it is imperative for us to wait for the north, if we wait any longer, then Xuzhou will be Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao and Liu Xiu are on the side, and we have no way out!"
Zhou Yu kept persuading, but Sun Ce was still a little hesitant
However, at this time, he received a report from the soldiers: "Up and down Wu County, in the streets and alleys, it is rumored that the lord wants to send the prince of power into Chu as a hostage, in exchange for the opportunity for development!" ”
"What?! How so?! When Sun Ce heard this, he was furious and roared; Even Zhou Yu and Lu Su also showed anger at the same time
At the same time, in another courtyard in the Sun Mansion
A bright-eyed, purple-haired figure was pacing back and forth in the room
There are also several figures in the house, who are the guests and talents under his command
"What's going on out there?! Is there any news coming?! The person who paced at the head frowned and asked, his tone was obviously eager, this person was the leader of the incident--- Sun Quan, who was only fourteen or five years old, but he was already a hero
"Enlighten the lord!" A young general-looking figure replied: "There is news from outside, saying that the Marquis of Chu asked the lord to enter Chu as a hostage, and at this time, the eldest prince and others are negotiating in the main hall, and there is no result yet."
"Damn!" When Sun Quan heard this, he was very angry and cursed, after all, he was still too young, at this time he was already beginning to regret his reckless actions this time, this time he not only failed to achieve what he wanted, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers, which was all the money he had finally put together!
You must know that 20,000 of his 50,000 troops were stolen from his adoptive father Zhu Zhi by --- Zhu Ran, who had been a close friend of his for many years, and it took many twists and turns before he was tamed; The other more than 10,000 are the results he has achieved in taking charge of Jiangdong and arranging cronies in recent years; The other more than 10,000 people were recruits who took advantage of the opportunity, as well as the private soldiers and servants of the generals under his command
With such an army of 50,000, only one Anhui county was obtained, and it was still an empty city, so Sun Quan at this time could be said to be angry, and he didn't do anything, but he got into trouble. ’
Thinking of this, Sun Quan complained again: "With such an army of 50,000, I only got an empty city of Anhui County, which is really hateful!" ”
As he spoke, Sun Quan looked around at the many guests and generals in the room and asked, "You don't know if there is a way to remedy it, help me?!" ”
When the generals heard this, they all bowed their heads and were silent, Sun Quan glanced at everyone again, but when Sun Quan saw one of the generals, he stared at him and asked: "General Zhang, it was you who brought Liu Xiu's distribution of troops in the eastern realm, and you instigated this battle, and now there is this defeat, it must be your letter to Liu Xiu, yes or no?!" ”
"This lord, wronged!" As soon as General Zhang heard what Sun Quan said, he immediately shouted in horror: "How dare the last general do such a thing, when the last general votes for the lord in the future, he has already informed the lord of the task assigned by Liu Xiu, and the last general still needs to rely on the lord to rescue his family, how dare he deceive and betray the lord!" ”
"At the beginning, you told me: You came to vote for me, it was Liu Xiu who detained your family and sent you to Wu to separate me and my eldest brother, you were unwilling to obey Liu Xiu's orders, so you were more dense than me! Then he told me about Liu Xiu's deployment of troops in the east, and in the end, he had this plan and this defeat! Isn't it you?! Sun Quan glared at General Zhang and continued to ask;
When General Zhang heard this, he was even more worried in his heart, to say that the rhetoric of Wu was indeed what Liu Xiu asked him to say, and Liu Xiu sent him to Sun Quan's account for only one purpose, that is, to instigate Sun Quan to send troops to attack Anhui County and other places, as for Sun Quan's plans, strategies, arrangements, etc., because of his selfishness, he never secretly reported to Liu Xiu; didn't expect that even so, he still failed to make Sun Quan please Liu Xiu, so that he was defeated
After all, he's a sneaky double agent!
However, this general still said stubbornly: "The lord is wronged!" The last general really did not deceive the lord in the slightest! ”
"Humph! Forgive me for not daring! Sun Quan stared at him for a moment, and then said coldly;
"Your lord doesn't need to be so angry!" A white-clothed Confucian figure said in a deep voice: "The eldest prince is the most affectionate and righteous, and he cultivates the lord like this, obviously treating the lord as a successor, so the eldest prince will not let the lord enter Chu as a hostage!" So there's no need to be in a hurry."
"As for this defeat, although it has cast a stain on the lord, as long as the lord and the eldest prince are affectionate, presumably the eldest prince will be soft-hearted!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he also recalled what Sun Ce had said to him back then: These people will be your arms!
"What Ziming said is reasonable! I'll go see my eldest brother now."
