Seventy-three shocked Yizhou

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised and admired Zhuge Ke's answer. Yiyi, this stinky boy who has not dried up, will really be impressed in the future.

Sun Quan nodded and asked Wang Ping proudly: "General Wang Ping, the special envoy of Shu Han, what do you think of what my eight-year-old boy from Dongwu said?" ”

Wang Ping naturally wanted to defend the reputation of his emperor and prime minister, but he couldn't offend Sun Quan, and at the same time, he wanted to stop comments on his emperor and prime minister, so he played the card of family affection.

Wang Ping said: "The emperor of Eastern Wu, the minister thought that Zhuge Ke had never been to Xishu, so he knew very little about his uncle Zhuge Xiangguo. Zhuge Xiangguo was the first emperor and assisted the first emperor Shu Han to open the country. Now Zhuge Xiangguo assists me as the queen of Shu Han. Although the queen is young, his virtue of benevolence and filial piety is widely praised. The minister sent an envoy to Soochow this time, and the queen repeatedly explained that he must go to the tomb of his deceased mother and Mrs. Sun to pay respects. It can be seen that the latter lord is a generation of Ming monarchs, and over time, with the assistance of Zhuge Xiangguo, it will be a great cause. ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "The queen of Shu Han is my nephew, and with this filial piety, it is a good thing." ”

Liu Chan (Adou), the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, was the true adopted son of Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Quan changed his words and said to Wang Ping: "Envoy Lao Gui sent a message to Zhuge Xiangguo, here is a good horse to ride and shoot, Zhuge Xiangguo must have a good horse to give to his nephew." ”

Soochow does not produce good horses. In ancient times, cavalry was the sharpest offensive weapon, equivalent to modern tank armored forces.

In 215 AD, after Cao Cao mobilized the country's elite troops to go on an expedition against Zhang Lu, Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao's troops in Hefei were empty, with only 7,000 men and horses of Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and others. So he immediately dispatched all the elite more than 100,000 people in Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan personally led the team to attack Hefei, aiming to win.

At that time, there was a huge gap between the Cao army and the Eastern Wu army, 8,000 to 100,000, but Zhang Liao took Sun Quan's camp directly with the iron cavalry tiger army, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Eastern Wu, including Gan Ning, Lü Meng, Ling Tong and other top generals of Eastern Wu, could not resist, and killed Sun Quan in Xiaoyaojin and had to jump off the bridge to escape. The Soochow army suffered heavy casualties. The Battle of Xiaoyaojin left a deep imprint on the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Wu Army and even Sun Quan himself.

The Battle of Xiaoyaojin, this battle highlights the great advantage of the iron cavalry over the infantry in the ancient era of cold weapons.

(In the sequel to this book, "The Legend of Diaoyutai", there is a detailed interpretation of the battle between Cao Wei and Eastern Wu.) ）

This battle had a deep impact on Sun Quan, and it was Sun Quan's lifelong desire to have an elite iron cavalry force to compete in the Central Plains.

And Cao Wei had always strictly forbidden the trade of horses in Eastern Wu, so Sun Quan's desire to have an iron cavalry was just a dream.

When Wang Ping played the family card, Sun Quan took advantage of the situation and put forward a big request.

Wang Ping replied: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Eastern Wu, after the ministers return to Shu, they must tell Zhuge Xiangguo." ”

Zhuge Ke obediently thanked him: "Uncle Xie gave the horse." ”

Sun Quan said disappreciatively to Zhuge Ke: "Envoy Wang Pinggui has not returned to China yet, and your uncle and horse have not been delivered, so why rush to thank you?" ”

Zhuge Ke calmly replied: "Your Majesty's grace is all over the world, and now that Chrysostom is opened, the horse will definitely be delivered." Xishu is also a stable outside His Majesty. ”

Zhuge Ke gently patted Sun Quan's ass again.

Sun Quan laughed when he heard this.

(At this time, Zhuge Liang was bent on resuming the alliance with Eastern Wu, even if it was reputational, so as not to be attacked by Shu Han on both sides.) Therefore, soon Zhuge Liang sent another envoy and sent more than 100 horses to sign a non-aggression pact with Eastern Wu, and divided the direction and scope of Wu and Shu in the war against Wei. Shu attacked Cao Wei, Gansu Chang'an, Xi'an, while Eastern Wu took Cao Wei, Hefei, Shouchun, and Pishan Shandong, without interfering with each other. ）

Sun Quan was very satisfied, and said to Zhuge Ke: "Zhuge Ke, listen to Zhang Ge Lao Dao, you are young and talented, try it today, it is really extraordinary." I hope that Zhuge Jin will be specially taught in the future, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future. Elder Zhang Ge, you also have to spend more time teaching Zhuge Ke. ”

Zhang Zhao was very proud, and specially pulled Zhuge Ke to stand beside him, and explained: "The donkey is also pulled over, and the donkey is also pulled over." This is a gift from the Holy Heaven! ”

Sun Quan looked at the donkey, thought for a moment, and said to Sima Zhao: "General Sima Zhao, the special envoy of the Wei State." ”

Sima Zhao came out and said, "So-and-so." ”

Sun Quan said: "The treasures of Eastern Wu introduced earlier, I think that Zhang Ge has accompanied General Sima to rejoice. I wonder if General Sima has chosen something he likes? ”

Sima Zhao replied with a big grin: "Just look at it, those things are all for you." ”

Sun Quan heard this, and said to Zhang Zhao happily: "Elder Zhang Ge." ”

Zhang Zhao responded: "The old minister is here." ”

Sun Quan asked, "Is there any agreement on the transaction of horses with General Sima?" ”

Zhang Zhao said in embarrassment: "The number of horses is still being decided. ”

Sun Quan said dissatisfiedly: "The elder of the pavilion is doing things, why is it so procrastinating? ”

Zhang Zhao didn't know how to resolve the holy anger, and said, "This, this ......"

Sima Zhao said briskly: "Lord Wu doesn't have to blame Lao Zhang, a certain and Lao Zhang finalized it on the spot." ”

Sun Quan also felt unexpected, and said, "Finalized on the spot? ”

Sima Zhao nodded to Zhang Zhao and said, "Old Zhang, come." Stretch out your hand, and you and I will agree on the spot. ”

Zhang Zhao hesitantly stretched out his hand.

Sima Zhao and Zhang Zhao held hands and traded in their sleeves.

This type of bargaining is called "pulling hands", and it is a consistent form of bargaining in the northern livestock market.

The ministers were dumbfounded.

Zhang Zhao was obviously quite surprised by the number of transactions in his sleeve, shook his head and asked, "Huh?" ”

Sima Zhao nodded in affirmation: "Hmm! ”

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "Too little!" Too little! ”

Sima Zhao smiled and said: "Friend, for the sake of the same name as Lao Zhang, let Lao Zhang point again." ”

Sima Zhao and Zhang Zhao have the same name. In ancient times, it was believed that people with the same name were naturally friends.

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "No, no." Among the treasures you see are bird's head incense, pearls, ivory, rhino horns, jade, hawksbill turtles, peacocks, fighting ducks, and long-singing chickens. ”

Sima Zhao said firmly: "Treasures are things to play with, and they are dispensable. And a certain war horse with you, the horses are all hussars on the field, and they cannot be let again. ”

Zhang Zhao almost begged and said, "Hey, hey, let one more finger, let one more finger." ”

Sima Zhao shook his head and said, "No! ”

How could the Golden Palace of Soochow be such a cheesy bargain. Sun Quan couldn't stand it and frowned.

Sun Quan said magnanimously: "Dongwu is a big country, how can the trade be like a vegetable seller in the market? Ge Lao, let's make a deal! ”

Sima Zhao saw that Sun Quan had already made an order and knew that the actual transaction had been completed.

Sima Zhao said loudly: "Okay, deal." ”

Sima Zhao shook Zhang Zhao's hand hard, and Zhang Zhao let out an "ouch" in pain.

Sima Zhao smiled and said to Zhang Zhao: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As is customary, the more powerful the handshake is the more sincere. ”

Sun Quan was in a good mood and announced: "Today, the establishment of the Guozijian and the opportunity to see young talents make me happy. Today's big tiger and little tiger princesses are very interested, and they want to practice a set of Sun family's ancestral Sun martial arts sword for you to cheer up today's ceremony. Big Tiger, Little Tiger, let's practice. ”

The big tiger princess and the little tiger princess came out heroically, and arched her hand: "Command." ”

The big tiger princess and the little tiger princess are sparring.

The rhythm of the two princesses is fast and slow, and the sword light is released from time to time, which makes people dazzled.

Sima Zhao was naturally very interested in the secret legend Sun Wujian, especially when it was performed by the two princesses. But he deliberately pretended to be careless and stood by, squinting.

Wang Ping looked at it carefully and nodded silently.

Quan Cong (the husband of the Great Tiger Princess Sun Luban) General Wei nodded in appreciation while watching.

Lu Xun (Sun Ce's daughter, the husband of the stinky princess) nodded his head.

The stinky princess beside Lu Xun looked at it seriously.

Princess Stinky Girl is thinking about the distant past.

The past emerged: Little Stinky Sister and Little Sun Shangxiang were kicking sandbags.

The stinky girl threw the sandbag on the head of the little Lu Xun, and the little stinky girl was laughing.

The little stinky girl and the little grandson Shangxiang are playing with the jade mountain jade and the jade seal of the country.

Princess Stinky Sister whispered to Lu Xun: "This set of swordsmanship, if you really fight, you still have to count the aunt and the girl." ”

Who is this aunt? is the famous Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang.

The girls in Soochow are about the same age as Sun Shangxiang, but they all call Sun Shangxiang "Auntie", so they all call Sun Shangxiang "Auntie Girl".

Lu Xun motioned to the stinky princess to silence.

The big tiger princess, the little tiger princess practiced to close the momentum.

The ministers applauded.

Sun Quan smiled.

Zhuge Ke suddenly came out and said to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, can the student ask a question?" ”

Zhuge Ke's move, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhao both felt very sudden.

Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhao looked nervous and uneasy, paying attention to Sun Quan and Zhuge Ke.

Sun Quan was very interested, nodded and said, "Ask, Zhuge Ke." ”

Zhuge Ke said: "The students saw the two princesses dancing with swords, which was very good. Students have recently heard that there is another princess of Soochow who is very good, I don't know which princess it is? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he felt very comfortable in his heart, and said: "Princess Dongwu, all women don't let their eyebrows go. What kind of princess of Soochow you are talking about, let's hear it. ”

Zhuge Ke saw that his topic made Sun Quan interested, and he was particularly energetic, and said: "Students have frequently heard overseas businessmen talk about it recently, and there is a director of Dongwu Gong in Yizhou, Southeast China. Sun Yuan, the prince of Liaodong Yan, led five warships to invade Yizhou, and the princess of Eastern Wu led two ships to meet the enemy. In an instant, Princess Dongwu sank an enemy ship and captured three enemy ships. Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, had only one boat left to escape. ”

Hearing Zhuge Ke suddenly mention Yizhou, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhaojun's faces changed greatly.

When Sima Zhao and Wang Ping heard the new situation, they listened attentively.

When Sun Quan heard this, he was shocked and said loudly: "Hmm-there is such a thing? Two ships fought five ships, one ship was sunk in an instant, and three ships were captured. This Dongwu princess of Yizhou is so strong! ——Zhang Zhao, where is Yizhou in the southeast? ”

Zhang Zhao was the most knowledgeable patriarch of Eastern Wu, but Zhang Zhao knew that this was a question that had to be avoided.

Zhang Zhao glared at Zhuge Ke and replied: "This, in the southeast of Yizhou, the old minister doesn't know about it. ”

Sun Quan turned his head and asked Zhuge Jin again: "Zhuge Jin, Southeast Yizhou, you should know." ”

Zhuge Jin saw that Sun Quan was exhausted in Yizhou, and had to reluctantly deal with it.

Zhuge Jin replied: "Southeast Yizhou? Your Majesty, the minister only knows that Yizhou is an isolated island in the southeast, and it is 2,000 miles to the sea. ”

Sun Quan asked, "What about the princess of Dongwu?" Who is she? ”

Zhuge Jin was very embarrassed, but the problem was caused by his son Zhuge Ke, and Zhuge Jin could only put out the fire by himself.

Zhuge Jin replied: "Your Majesty, the princess of Dongwu in Yizhou...... Nothing was known about this. Children are ignorant, listen to rumors in the market, and don't take them seriously. ”

Sun Quan Zhengse said: "How can this be true! There is such a powerful military force behind it, and everyone has never heard of it, so how can I not worry about it? Although Lü Meng's white-clothed army was small at the beginning, it was able to attack Jingzhou, so that Guan Yu's victorious Northern Expedition army was instantly dispersed. If one day, my handsome army marched north and chased the Central Plains, and the princess of Yizhou, Huang Que, was behind and took advantage of the weakness to attack my Jianye, wouldn't it be a big deal? ”
