Chapter 13 The Jade Seal of the Country
Zhao Yun also saw something from Zhang Lang's gloomy and hesitant face, as if he knew what he was thinking. In fact, I have been under him for a while, how can I not understand him? Zhang Lang usually attaches great importance to talented people, from high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy families, to ordinary people, three religions and nine streams, as long as they have the ability, only the talent is used. And they are very respectful, and the courtesy they receive is a kind of flattering feeling, absolutely from the heart, without pretentiousness.
Just look at his deeds and know his person, Sun Ce is by no means simple, not just a brave man, look at what he just said, you know that he is very ambitious, and Zhang Lang seems to have the intention of letting him go when he fails to surrender, and he is undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain. The reason why Sun Ce was able to catch Sun Ce so easily this time was entirely because he could not be reused under Yuan Shu, if Sun Ce was the main general from the beginning, maybe the outcome would be unpredictable. Once he has his own power and territory, if he can develop calmly, he will definitely be an opponent for Zhang Lang.
Before Zhang Lang made a decision, Zhao Yun cautiously said: "Lord, Sun Ce can't stay, if he surrenders, not to mention the ambition he has shown, he is unwilling to be subordinate, and his old subordinates Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others are loyal to the Sun family, who dares to guarantee that they will not encourage them to stand on their own, this is to raise a tiger in their bodies, and if they don't make a bad one, they will feed the tiger with their bodies." If you let it go, it will be a tiger returning to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles. I hope the lord will think twice. ”
Originally, there was no need to talk about these things, but Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were still in the big village outside the city, and they didn't come into the city with the team.
Although Zhao Yun's voice was very low, the quiet fallen leaves in the lobby could be heard, and several generals next to Zhang Lang faintly heard it, sighing for Sun Ce in their hearts At the same time, they knew that there was no way to do it, but it was a pity that Sun Ce was brave.
Zhang Lang's eyes sparkled, staring at Sun Ce for a long time. It was as if it was going to pierce him deep inside.
And Sun Ce is calm and fearless, holding his head high.
I know in my heart that Zhao Yun is for his own good, and he doesn't want to let himself build more strong enemies, but he has his own three-country complex, and he has respect for them, and he came suddenly from the 21st century, who can understand. How could he easily kill such a pardoning famous person. Even if he caught a good general when he played the Three Kingdoms game before, the first thing he did was to try his best to surrender, and if it was the end of the game, he was reluctant to kill it, so he had to let it go. Now that he has returned to the Three Kingdoms alive, and he still has some kind of relationship with them, he has lost this ruthlessness.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Lang felt that his chest was very tight, and his face was wrinkled. In the end, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, stared at Sun Ce again, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Ce, if you don't want to surrender, I won't force you, but what will you choose in the choice between life and death?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the generals faintly felt bad, did Zhang Lang have any plans to let Sun Ce go?
Sun Ce was also obviously stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Lang to say such a thing, he was ready. Seeing that he meant as if he was going to let himself go, he couldn't guess his intention for a while, and said: "If you don't have to surrender, of course Sun Ce chooses a student." ”
Also, ants still steal life, let alone people. is saying that Sun Ce's ambition in his heart has not been rewarded, how can he be so unwilling to go. Listening to the tone of Zhang Lang's words, Sun Ce also had the instinct to survive.
Zhang Lang stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Yun, who was a little anxious, and didn't let him speak. Then he looked at Sun Ce, who was full of vitality and his eyes began to have a god, and said with love and hate in his heart: "As long as you give me a satisfactory reason, I will let you go." ”
Zhang Lang didn't know why at this critical moment, his heart suddenly softened, unlike the usual style, he used to be ruthless in major matters, and he cut through the mess quickly. I'm afraid that this day will continue to be interrupted, and it will be chaotic.
Maybe I was too deeply influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, maybe I really admired this fierce general who swept the six counties of Jiangdong in history and opened up the Wu Kingdom.
In fact, this is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms ingrained in his mind, Sun Jian died early, not to mention, if there is no Sun Ce, how can he come to the six counties of Jiangdong, without the Three Kingdoms, there will be no later Wu State, he created Sun Quan's domination of the Yangtze River for decades. If he kills the heroic Sun Ce like this, if he doesn't say anything else, he will feel guilty every day, because Zhang Lang really admires these heroes of the Three Kingdoms.
Sun Ce's mind was racing rapidly, knowing that this was his last straw, if he couldn't grasp it well, it would really be fatal. Thinking of Zhang Lang's fierce generals like clouds, planning like mountains, plus collecting 100,000 elite soldiers from Yuan Shu, he has become a wing, the hegemon of one side, and now the biggest weakness is that the name of the Xuzhou herd is not right, and his words are not good, if other warlords crusade, it is also the best excuse. The best reason is to make him live up to his name.
Thinking of this time, Sun Ce's face was gloomy and uncertain, his eyes were complicated, and he finally gritted his teeth and made a very important decision. The face was very helpless and reluctant: "General Zhang led Xuzhou Mu, the people's wishes, but it was not recognized by the court, Gu is nameless, and now there is a father who inherits the jade seal of the country, and is willing to dedicate it to the general, and then the general will be sent back to the court. ”
Everyone was shocked at the same time, they couldn't imagine that Sun Jian really got the jade seal, it seems that the rumors are true. When the princes of the Eighteenth Route were fighting against Dong Zhuo, they conquered the tiger prison and Bishui, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, fled to Chang'an with the emperor, Cao Ying led the troops to pursue, and Sun Jian led the troops to extinguish the fire. At this time, Sun Jian suddenly rushed away, quit the battle and led his troops back to Changsha. As a result, news reached Yuan Shao, saying that Sun Jian's withdrawal was to get the jade seal, and at the same time, he was furious and greedy, and wrote to Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and ordered him to rob and kill Sun Jian halfway. Since then, the two families have formed a grudge, and Sun Jian crossed the river to attack Liu Biao shortly after returning to Changsha, but he was killed.
What is even more surprising is that Sun Ce came up with such a brilliant plan in such a short period of time, and there is a way for Zhang Lang to lead Mu Xu and Yang Erzhou to the real name, which shows that this person is quite intelligent. It even made everyone feel murderous, Sun Ce's martial arts are not a problem, and he is so strategic, if he is released, he will really let the tiger return to the mountain.
At the same time, the soldiers also began to feel very excited, the appearance of jade seals in troubled times, does it imply that Zhang Lang has the image of the true son of heaven?
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others on the side were tied up with five flowers, their faces were gloomy, of course they knew about the jade seal, and they couldn't imagine that this culprit who made Sun Jian die in the end still couldn't save it from falling into the hands of others. I knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, and gave it directly to others, isn't it safer and safer. But then again, Yuxi harmed Sun Jian's life, but also saved Sun Ce's life, (although it is too early to say, but I believe that Zhang Lang is a heroic figure and will never lose his trust) It seems to be even.
Sun Ce felt as if he had lost his heart, his heart was full of colic, his face was pale, and he felt very haggard. His father was lured and shot by Lu Gongzhi, leaving only the jade seal at home, which faintly became his most important belonging. Now dedicated to Zhang Lang, only the mount mane is left, this is Sun Jian's horse, very spiritual, in the rain of thousands of arrows, can still come and go freely, after Sun Jian died in battle, the horse galloped all the way back to the camp, the long roar did not stop, but also shed horse tears. Sun Ce cherishes it very much. Determined to sit on this horse and fulfill Sun Jian's unfulfilled wish.
Although his heart was dripping blood, Sun Ce still looked at Zhang Lang coldly, his thin lips were pursed, he had a surname, and waited quietly for Zhang Lang to reply.
Zhang Lang was really moved by Sun Ceyuxi, and his cool face gently glanced at the people around him, some bowed their heads and pondered, some had anxious faces, and everyone had different expressions. Suddenly, I felt that my mentality relaxed for a while, without the feeling of tightness in my chest just now, as if I understood something, and said loudly: "Good Sun Bofu, the reason you said really makes me tempted, as long as you hand over the jade seal, I will let you live." I know that you are not convinced by this defeat, and you are always tied up for others. I hope that after you leave this time, you can work hard to develop yourself, and come to say that we will compete again, and I hope that you will not live up to my expectations when the time comes. ”
When everyone saw that Zhang Lang really wanted to let Sun Ce go, he was undoubtedly lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot and causing trouble for himself. They were all shocked, admiring Zhang Lang's arrogance in their hearts, and at the same time, they remembered that Sun Ce was indeed quite dangerous. Zhao Yun's face was the most anxious, although he also admired Sun Ce a little in his heart, but he considered things from the perspective of the overall situation, and Gu Jing Wubo's face obviously brought a trace of anxiety and said: "If the lord doesn't kill him, he can also be put in prison and slowly persuaded to surrender. ”
Zhang Lang just smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
Even Sun Ce himself was suspicious in his dream, he didn't expect Zhang Lang to be so refreshing, which was somewhat similar to his surname Ke, if it wasn't for a hostile position, he really wanted to worship.
In his heart, he was once again impressed by Zhang Lang's bearing, his face was firm and he said with some respect: "General Zhang's love, the grace of not killing is in mind, as long as the policy is still alive in the world, it will work hard to develop itself, and then the sword will fight, fight on the battlefield, and then fight again." ”
Zhang Lang nodded again, feeling that his heart was beating fast, and his blood was boiling when he thought about it, in the 21st century, he focused on the group, not individualism, so he completely suppressed his surname. Now in ancient times, it is not the same as saying, the desire to become a hero in my heart is becoming stronger, and the man should fight the sword Quartet, be happy and enmity, fight on the battlefield, swallow mountains and rivers, and show the beauty of masculinity, and convince people with virtue, how can you stop killing with killing? Sun Ce is young and promising, a hero in troubled times, so pit and kill, he has a cold heart, he respects heroes, how can he be free to kill, even if he says that he is returning to the mountain today, so what, there are many heroes in the world, without him there are others, as long as he is worthy of his heart and his heart is open, even if he loses the rivers and mountains, he has no hegemony, and he has no regrets for his life.
Zhang Lang was glad that he was deeply happy for his decision, but he felt guilty for his killing intent. At the same time, I realized that my surname Ke had indeed changed a lot in this era, and I was no longer a person who only read history books and fantasized about before.
Sun Ce was not afraid of Zhang Lang's remorse, and pointed to a pile of burdens on the ground with mixed feelings in his heart: "The jade seal is in the smallest burden." ”
Dian Wei was five big and three coarse, three steps were one step, he picked up the smallest burden, looked at Sun Ce and said roughly: "Is this it?" ”
Sun Ce looked at Dian Wei's body that was stronger than ordinary people, full of flesh, his face was fierce, and he nodded helplessly, his expression was extremely lost. The jade seal is such a valuable thing, it should not be taken with you, just looking at things and thinking about people, looking at it is like thinking of your father Sun Jian, and using it to spur yourself all the time. It seems that this treasure is about to be separated from itself.
Dian Wei immediately unburdened himself, and there was a cinnabar bag inside. When he opened it again, he saw a small scarlet box, locked with a gold lock. Dian Wei was born with divine power, the tiger's palm pulled hard, and it was torn open, and the small box bounced up, and there was something inside, four inches in circumference, made of jade, bright color, engraved with five dragons, fine workmanship, lifelike. The fly in the ointment is the missing corner, engraved in gold, shining gold, dazzling. There are eight characters on the seal: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”
Although Dian Wei didn't know how to read, he saw that this thing was exquisite and detailed, and it was engraved with five dragons, so he immediately dedicated it to Zhang Lang, and shouted in an excited and rough voice: "It's this guy." ”
Zhang Lang's face was a little excited, and he carefully took the jade seal of the heavy treasure heirloom and copied it carefully.
While admiring in silence, I wondered how much this thing would be worth if it was in the 21st century. But one thing is certain, that is, it can make the person who owns it rich overnight, and the three generations of children and grandchildren will not have to worry about food and clothing.
I was both dumb and dumb, how could I think of this.
Sun Ce seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and he had everything sour, bitter, spicy and astringent. On the handsome face, in addition to helplessness or helplessness, who would be willing.
After watching it for a while, Zhang Lang Mo remembered that there were still things waiting to be solved by himself. Then he handed over the jade seal to Zhao Yun, raised his head, looked at the nervous Sun Ce, and said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll let you and your subordinates go." ”
With a change of words, he pointed out in his heart: "Sun Bofu, do you dare to make a bet with me?" ”
Sun Ce didn't have some excitement, but was sullen, as if he had aged a lot overnight, and said in a dumb voice: "What are you betting on?" ”
Zhang Lang saw that he had no fighting spirit, he felt pity and pity in his heart, he didn't like to see Sun Ce like this, he should be ambitious, and his heart was higher than the sky. At the moment, he encouraged: "The young man's mind should be a cloud, not a hero by success or failure, he will always shine if he is gold, you have to believe in yourself, work hard to develop yourself, when you have your own power, it is when we will fight again, if you lose again, you can unconditionally surrender me." In the same way, if I lose, I am willing to use it for you. ”
Sure enough, Sun Ce pondered for a while, Junlang's expression regained his vitality, and the two gods also began to have a god, letting go of the light of hope, and said resolutely: "If the year is over, Sun Ce will come back to fight with the general again." ”
Seeing that he had successfully aroused Sun Ce's ambition, Zhang Lang cheered with satisfaction: "Okay." Come on, loosen the tie. ”
Sun Ce loosened his aching arm, and the old general, who had also untied the rope, turned to leave. After taking two steps, I finally couldn't help the confusion in my heart and looked back and asked: "Why did the general decide to let me go, not afraid of multiple opponents on your way to dominate the world in the future?" ”
Zhang Lang smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, showing great confidence, and said lightly: "What about multiple opponents, so that life will not be lonely, life will be richer, and it will be more valuable to stand out among so many heroes?" ”
Both Sun Ce and Cheng Pu were shocked by Zhang Lang's words, and they actually showed praise, and turned around and left thoughtfully.
After Sun Ce left, Yuan Shu's general Li Shi surrendered, and the civil officials of Shouchun knew that Yuan Shu was dead, and Zhang Lang was powerful, so he could only kneel to meet the new lord in order to seek peace.
Tao Ying pottery merchants fled on the road back to Shouchun.
