The Legend of Diaoyutai 82 Yizhou Ancient and Modern (3)

When the water princess heard Jin Xiangyu's question, she stared at Jin Xiangyu for a long time, then laughed happily and said, "Jin Xiangyu, you really know how to ask questions." In order to keep my identity as Sun Shangxiang a secret, I never allowed people to talk about this war. Actually, I really want to talk to people about this war. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked, "Is my aunt willing to tell me?" ”

The water princess said, "Yes, because I know that Jin Xiangyu will keep secrets. And I think Jin Xiangyu should know and have the right to know, because Jin Xiangyu will witness the thousand-year vicissitudes of Yizhou in the future. ”

Jin Xiangyu said, "I will remember." ”

The water princess said: "In addition to fighting with the Eastern Wu Navy in Yizhou, I also fought a battle with Sun Yuan, the prince of Liaodong Yan. I have sought stability and peace all my life, but I am not afraid of war, and after we win every war, we have stability and peace. ”

Jin Xiangyu looked at the water princess adoringly and said, "Auntie, no wonder people call you the goddess of victory and the goddess of peace. ”

The water princess smiled and continued: "Jin Xiangyu, have you heard the story of Kong Rong Rang Pear? ”

Jin Xiangyu nodded and said, "I've heard it, this is a story that teaches children to be humble and friendly. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Yes." When Kong Rong was young, it was still peaceful and prosperous. You see, how polite and moral people were at that time. But by the time Kong Rong was middle-aged, the world was already in turmoil, Kong Rong was too punctual in Beihai, and he governed Beihai very well, and the people supported him. But Kong Rong couldn't fight, Kong Rong was not only driven away from Beihai by Yuan Tan, but Kong Rong's own wife and children were also captured by Yuan Tan. It was at that time that my father, Sun Jian, raised troops in Xiapi. ”

Jin Xiangyu nodded and said, "Heroes emerge from troubled times." ”

The water princess continued: "In the current troubled era of the Three Kingdoms, you must be able to fight to stand on your feet, and if you can't fight, you will be enslaved and slaughtered. As soon as I was born, it was a big war against Dong Zhuo in the world. When I was five years old, I took this group of female soldiers and sisters to conduct military exercises. Their fathers and brothers are all the founding martyrs of Soochow who spilled blood on the battlefield. We all yearn for a peaceful and stable home. When we found Yizhou and prepared to live a stable and peaceful life, the fleet of Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, Liaodong, came under the flag of dragon bird pirates. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked, "What is this Liaodong Yan prince Sun Yuan doing in Yizhou?" ”

The water princess said: "This Liaodong Gongsun Yuan relied on the high mountains of the emperor far away (the coastal corridor from the Central Plains to Liaodong was formed after the Song Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms wanted to go to Liaodong from the Central Plains, and it was necessary to climb over the mountains and mountains, which was very difficult), and the three generations of the Gongsun family operated in Liaodong, dominating Liaodong, openly claiming to be the king of Yan, and more by virtue of geographical advantages, monopolized the northern trade sea route to overseas (at that time, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese islands were very small and could only take the coastal line, so the Liaodong Peninsula was a necessary place for them to trade with China), Therefore, Gongsun Yuan claimed to be the overlord of the sea, and took advantage of the exploitation and plundering of the passing merchant ships by officials and bandits. ”

Jin Xiangyu nodded and said, "It turns out that Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, is both an officer and an officer and a pirate. ”

The water princess continued: "At that time, in order to plunder a huge amount of wealth, Gongsun Yuan pretended to submit to Eastern Wu and deceived the trust of my emperor's second brother, Eastern Wu sent a large peace trade mission to Liaodong to buy horses, and Gongsun Yuan, the king of Yan, received a large amount of gifts of jewelry and wealth from the peace envoy of Eastern Wu, and on the other hand, he suddenly attacked the fleet of the Eastern Wu Peace Mission, looted all the wealth, and killed more than 400 people in the fleet. ”

Jin Xiangyu said: "Gongsun Yuan is also an official and a bandit, he is both greedy and brutal, he is really a super pirate. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Prince Yan and Sun Yuan came to Yizhou by sea for six thousand miles, just to occupy and plunder. For the pirate, it must be beaten so hard that he does not dare to scream. At that time, Gongsun Yuan invaded with five ships, and was sunk by our army, and three were captured. Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, was very afraid of death, and watched the battle from a distance with a warship, and when he saw that the big thing was not good, he slipped away. ”

Jin Xiangyu praised: "My aunt is really the goddess of victory!" ”

The water princess continued: "My emperor's second brother has just sat on the dragon chair for half a year, and he heard that Yizhou has a navy that can fight well, and it can actually annihilate Gongsun Yuan's five ships with two ships. ”

Jin Xiangyu said: "Emperor of Eastern Wu, Jin Xiangyu should call him uncle, right?" Why didn't this uncle emperor think that it was his little sister and aunt who was governing Yizhou? ”

The water princess smiled and said: "When I was martyred and threw myself into the river, I wanted to completely break off the grievances with the Sun and Liu families. I, Jin Toad, led the female soldiers to Yizhou in order to give a stable home to the female soldiers and sisters who have followed me all their lives since childhood. I buried my name incognito so that the world would forget Sun Shangxiang. So although I governed Yizhou under the banner of the princess of Dongwu, I did not communicate with the official government of Dongwu, nor did I communicate with my emperor's second brother. I originally thought that my family members who were familiar with my Sun Shangxiang would understand me, and they should all think of Sun Shangxiang, who has lived on the water since he was a child, how could he really die in the river? ”

Jin Xiangyu nodded and said, "Yes, my aunt is proficient in water, how could she die if she threw herself into the river?" Everyone in the family will definitely think of it. ”

The water princess shook her head helplessly and smiled, and continued: "But my wooden-headed second brother of the emperor, after I threw myself into the river, he thought that he had fallen off a troublesome burden, and never seriously thought about whether his only little sister was still alive in the world. At that time, although Lu Xun and Quan Cong could not directly break it, they resolutely opposed the dispatch of troops to Yizhou at the court meeting. My second brother of the emperor insisted that Princess Yizhou neither had dealings with the Dongwu court, nor did she communicate with the Dongwu Emperor, and the Yizhou princess must be fake. Yizhou's navy, which can fight well, is a sword that threatens the security of Soochow, and must be removed immediately. The fleet of 10,000 men was approaching Yizhou, so I had to prepare for battle. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked, "Auntie, wasn't there any other way to avoid war at that time?" ”

The water princess nodded and said: "At that time, the only way to avoid war was for us to tie ourselves up and let Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi escort us to Jianye (Nanjing) and ask for merit from my emperor's second brother." ”

Jin Xiangyu asked weakly, "What are the consequences of this?" Does the Emperor's Uncle kill his aunt? ”

The water princess smiled faintly and said, "You know, I have been a female soldier since I was a child, and I have never worried about my personal safety. How to deal with my little sister is a headache for my emperor's second brother. However, in this way, the whole world knows that Sun Shangxiang, the eldest princess of the younger sister of the Emperor of Eastern Wu, and Sun Shangxiang, the adoptive mother of Liu Chan, the emperor of Western Shu, are still alive and govern the strategic place of Yizhou. What's even more exciting is that Yizhou has a big treasury that is rivaled by wealth. Do you think, will Yizhou become a big battlefield for the three kingdoms? Under the nest, how can you get the eggs? Will the peaceful and stable homeland of the people of Yizhou and the female soldiers and sisters who live and die with me still exist? ”

Jin Xiangyu asked, "Auntie, Yizhou's secret vault is a secret that no one knows, what role will it play in decision-making?" ”

The water princess said solemnly: "The matter of the treasury is very important to my decision to fight with the Soochow fleet!" ”

Jin Xiangyu didn't understand it at all, and asked, "Since no one knows this secret, why is it important?" ”

The water princess sighed and said: "Although outsiders don't know the secret of the vault, the legend that there is a vault in Yizhou has long been spread on the rivers and lakes. For thousands of years, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain. If then we are not ready to fight, but are tied up. Then the victor will inevitably pursue the secrets of the secret vault, and at that time, not only will we not be able to get peace and stability, but not only me, but all the female soldiers and sisters, will be subjected to endless humiliation and torture. ”

Jin Xiangyu was taken aback and asked, "Will this be the case?" ”

The water princess nodded in the affirmative and said, "That's for sure! Jin Xiangyu, haven't you heard that when Feng Axe rebelled, Feng Axe brutally tortured Aunt Lingjiao constantly in order to obtain money and food, and to find a secret vault?! ”

Jin Xiangyu nodded tearfully.

Jin Xiangyu said: "Yes! If my aunt had been captured at that time, not only would she not have avoided war, but would have made Yizhou a bigger battlefield. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "That's why we must prepare for a battle with the mighty Soochow fleet. ”

Seeing that the water princess was still unsatisfied, Jin Xiangyu looked at the water princess quietly.

The water princess sighed softly and said lightly, "Actually, at that time, we tried to avoid war until the last moment. Your water chestnut aunt is alone, with my emperor's second brother's Longquan sword, and went to the Zhuge Zhi Flagship to announce my order. It's very dangerous, but it's necessary. Your aunt is familiar with the elders and veterans of Eastern Wu, if you can meet any of them, they will all know that Princess Yizhou is not a fake, but the emperor's little sister Sun Shangxiang. Although it cannot be said explicitly, this war can be avoided. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked, "Aunt Water Chestnut is really heroic. Has Aunt Water Chestnut ever met a veteran of Soochow? ”

The water princess shook her head lightly and said, "My second brother sent by the emperor is his most elite new water army that has just been trained, and all the soldiers including the commander Wei Wen Zhuge Zhi are young men in their twenties. Not only did the water chestnut not see a veteran or veteran of Dongwu, but even an older veteran could not see it. ”

Jin Xiangyu said: "Just like that, the war started? The fleet of Soochow is 10,000 soldiers, and there are only a few hundred female soldiers and aunts, and the aunt has achieved a complete victory. Aunt is awesome! A true goddess of victory! ”

The water princess said: "War is like this, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win all battles." If Wei Wen Zhuge had not been eager to fight for merit, if they had ascertained the sea conditions in Repulse Bay first, then even if they had made other greater mistakes, even if we had been able to annihilate half of the enemy in a bloody battle (which was in fact completely impossible), we would not have been able to achieve victory. Because the difference in strength is too great. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked, "If the situation is so unfavorable to my aunt, what should my aunt do?" ”

"If that's the case," said the water princess, "we can only avoid its edge and avoid fighting it head-on. A small unit like ours cannot go head-to-head with such a formidable opponent. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked again, "So what should I do next?" ”

The water princess said: "We can only save our strength in a detour and wait for time. After all, now that the Three Kingdoms are fighting for hegemony, the main battlefield is in the Central Plains. It is impossible for the Eastern Wu army to be stationed in Yizhou for a long time. After a long time, the Soochow fleet will be withdrawn. ”

Jin Xiangyu asked again: "This is not a solution after all, Yizhou will not be able to achieve real peace and stability." ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Yes." To really solve the problem in the end, I still need to go to Dongwu to make it clear to my second brother of the emperor face to face, please rest assured that Yizhou is from Dongwu, and his little sister Sun Shangxiang is governing Yizhou for Dongwu. ”

Jin Xiangyu said: "In this way, Yizhou will be as peaceful and stable as it is now." ”

The water princess said to Jin Xiangyu with a smile: "Your aunt just went to Dongwu to meet my second brother of the emperor and solved the major matter of stability and peace in Yizhou, so she can happily watch the golden retriever mouse write the word 'human' at your house, and witness the childhood sweetheart marriage between Jin Xiangyu and Lu Kangni." ”

Jin Xiangyu blushed and said, "My aunt said that these things depend on fate." ”
