Chapter 457: Defeated Sun Wu and Sun Liang became a minister
Wu Qiu Jian was not a loyal minister, and if he was really loyal to Cao Wei, he would not have united with Sun Huan to attack his parents' state. The reason why this is so is just because he is worried that after Cao Zhi takes power, it will be unfavorable to him. But when Sun Quan of Eastern Wu and Cao Wei ceased war and jointly dealt with Zhao Shu, Wu Qiu Jian began to worry about his own future and life. After fighting side by side with Sun Huan for more than a year, Wu Qiu Jian deeply understood that in the eyes of the Jiangdong generals, he was just a traitor. On the surface, he is polite, but because he still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and there is still value in using them. But now that Eastern Wu and Cao Wei negotiated a truce and unanimously fought against Shu Han, who can guarantee the safety of Wu Qiujian's life? Who can guarantee that Sun Quan, who is getting older and more confused, will not show favor to Cao Wei one day with Wuqiu's head? tremblingly followed Sun Huan to Yingchuan County, Wu Qiu Jian finally understood that there was only one person who could not only save his life, but also give him a bright future, and that person was Zhao Shu. Rebellion once is a traitor, and rebellion twice is also a traitor, not to mention that Wuqiu Jian and Sun Quan have no relationship between monarchs and ministers. Therefore, the battle between Shu Han and Eastern Wu was first started in the camp of Wuqiu Jian.
Wu Qiujian's soldiers were originally Wei soldiers, and when they fought side by side with the soldiers of Eastern Wu, they would inevitably be looked down upon by these people, and even bullied, and they were already holding back a fire in their hearts. And coupled with the heavy rewards promised by Wu Qiu Jian himself, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and they broke out together, set fire to the wind, and killed anyone they saw.
Next to the Wuqiu Jian military camp was Wu General Tang Zhi, although he knew that the battle with Shu Han was just around the corner, but no one expected that there would be a fire in the backyard. was poured into the camp by 20,000 rebels, and before Tang Zhi could get on his horse, he was hacked to death with a knife. Sun Huan received a military report in the camp and was sending troops to suppress it, but there was news from Tanma that the Han army in Xuchang City had been killed in several ways. The Wu army had been fighting for a long time, and it was already exhausted and resentful. Even if Sun Huan had great ability, it was difficult to recover the disadvantage, so he had to ask Sun Quan to retreat first, and he took the generals to fight and leave. The 200,000 army came in vast, but it collapsed overnight, although it was because of the internal response of Wu Qiu Jian, but Sun Quan did not listen to his advice, did not sympathize with the suffering of the soldiers, and insisted on starting a war with Shu Han, which was also an important reason for the failure of this war.
The defeat was like a mountain, and Sun Quan fled until Huainan before he barely stopped to rest and recuperate. Sun Quan was already old, but when he suddenly encountered such an accident, his body was a little unbearable, and he couldn't afford to be sick when he arrived in Huainan. Two days later, Sun Huan arrived with the generals, and this time the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but feel a little sad when they met. Seeing that everyone was tired, Sun Quan sighed leisurely: "I regret not listening to your Aiqing's words, so that I failed so badly." When Sun Huan and the others saw Sun Quan like this, they were all gloomy, only Xu Sheng suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, the defeat in this battle is all Zhuge Ke's slanderous words and misguided the country, and I also ask Your Majesty to correct it to comfort the souls of the soldiers who died in the sky." ”
In the past few days, Sun Quan has been seriously ill, Zhuge Ke knows that he is guilty of a big crime, and he is even more unclothed and taken care of by the side, and when he heard Xu Sheng's words, he immediately cried and worshiped on the ground, and said: "Weichen knows that he is guilty of a serious crime, and his sin deserves death." I only ask Your Majesty to forgive the guilty ministers for a few days, and when the guilty ministers serve Your Majesty's dragon body to heal, it is not too late to correct the law. Sun Quan hated Zhuge Ke deeply, but in the past two days, when he saw him serving medicine and soup for himself, most of his anger had disappeared, and at this moment, he saw that he had asked for the death penalty, and he was even more unbearable in his heart, so he said: "All Aiqing have worked hard, so please go down and rest first." As for Zhuge Ke's crime, he will wait until he returns to the capital and then hand it over to the judge. ”
Xu Sheng was still about to fight, but he was stopped by Sun Huan's eyes, and he reluctantly bowed out. As soon as he left the palace, Xu Sheng stopped Sun Huan and said, "Why didn't the governor let a certain person advise His Majesty and kill that treacherous villain?" Sun Huan sighed and said, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, so you should recuperate quietly." Although Zhuge Ke is a villain, he can best understand the holy will and relieve His Majesty's worries. If we forcibly admonish Your Majesty to kill this person, Your Majesty will definitely be unhappy in his heart, and it will inevitably damage the dragon's body. Anyway, Zhuge Ke's crime is known to the whole world, and the general is still afraid that he will not be able to escape? Xu Sheng suddenly realized, grinned, and said with a smile: "It's still all over the place." Then he hugged his fists and took his leave.
After Xu Sheng left, Sun Huan shook his head slightly, in fact, there was another reason why he stopped Xu Sheng. Sun Huan knew Sun Quan's temperament very well, and understood that if he was forced to kill Zhuge Ke now, when Sun Quan recalled it in the future, he would definitely feel that these generals, especially Xu Sheng, had made him lose his majesty, and he might not know when Xu Sheng would wear a small shoe. Sun Huan did this, not only to save Zhuge Ke, but also to save Xu Sheng. It's a pity that Sun Huan has made a lot of calculations, but he underestimated one person, and that is Zhuge Ke.
Although Zhuge Ke was submissive and loyal in front of Sun Quan, Sun Quan really let him die, but he was unwilling to be willing no matter what. In front of General Xu Shengzhong, Sun Quan did protect Zhuge Ke, but after returning to Jianye, what will happen? What's more, Sun Quan is critically ill, and once he dies, Sun Huan and the others will not let go of Zhuge Ke first. The so-called first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers, it was the night Zhuge Ke who summoned Sun Jun, the general of Wuwei, and his younger brother Sun Qi to enter the account to discuss.
After sitting down, Zhuge Ke said: "Today's events, Xian Kunzhong has seen it, Xu Sheng and others were defeated by themselves, but they put the responsibility on me, and wanted to kill me, and asked Xian Kunzhong to save me." "Sun Jun and the others are in charge of the Wuwei Army, they are Sun Quan's close ministers, and they have long heard of today's events, but Zhuge Ke suddenly said these words, and he couldn't help but glance at each other, not knowing what his intentions were. Sun Jun coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Although Your Majesty has not forgiven the sins of the adults, the implication is that he is helping the adults to exonerate. Why should the adults worry, the last general's brother is lowly and shallow, where can he help the adults? ”
Zhuge Ke seemed to expect the two of them to answer like this, "hehe" smiled, and said: "Although Sun Huan and the others entered the city, the army was outside the city. The military guards in the city are all subordinate to the general, how can such an important position be said to be of humble status? Sun Jun was suddenly shocked, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the adult wants a certain brother to help?" Zhuge Ke then took an edict from the side and said: "Sun Huan and Xu Sheng, as national generals, do not know the military machine, do not argue loyalty and treachery, and raise tigers for disaster, resulting in the defeat of our army, and their crimes should be killed." This is an edict issued by His Majesty himself, and the two generals can now send people to take the two of them down for the Fa-rectification. ”
Sun Jun is not a fool, he knows that the edict in Zhuge Ke's hand is forged, where is he willing to obey the order? sneered: "This edict, after the last brother has to personally explain it to His Majesty, it can be executed." Although his two brothers are very close to Zhuge Ke on weekdays, they have to be careful when it comes to such a major event. Zhuge Ke also laughed and said, "Okay, this official also has something to play Your Majesty." I heard that the general had a close relationship with Princess Luban in private, but I don't know if it's true or not? ”
Sun Jun originally had a straight face, but when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "How can adults take these market rumors seriously?" It turned out that he had such a small leg in private with Sun Quan's daughter Sun Luban, but he was somehow known by Zhuge Ke. What a great sin is it to have an affair with a princess? It's no wonder that Sun Junhui suddenly softened, but his younger brother Sun Qi said beside him: "Big brother Hugh should be afraid of him." There is no evidence for him to participate in you, but the evidence is conclusive for our brother to participate in him, and I am afraid that His Majesty will not believe it? ”
Zhuge Ke casually threw the edict on the candle, burned to ashes in a moment, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Xian Kunzhong wants to participate in?" He said and said: "Xia Guan knows that there is a maid next to the princess, named Qiu Xiang, who is the one with dimples on her face. Every time the general went to have a tryst with the princess, she opened the door, did the general forget? Sun Jun was dumbfounded when he heard this, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he sighed for a long time: "My lord is really powerful, and the last general will be convinced." Zhuge Ke said modestly at this time: "Where, where." What happened tonight ......" Sun Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Since there is His Majesty's edict, the last general can't care so much." Seeing that he agreed, Zhuge Ke immediately said: "Xian Kunzhong and the two must be careful, and after the matter is completed, I will not forget the kindness of the two." Sun Jun also said: "My two brothers will rely on adults for cultivation in the future." After saying that, he took his leave of the account.
When he walked out of Zhuge Ke's tent, Sun Qi opened his mouth and asked, "Does the eldest brother really want to follow Zhuge Ke?" Sun Jun snorted coldly and said, "Are you really afraid of him for your brother?" Sun Qi was stunned, and before he could ask again, he heard Sun Jun say again: "The day has come for our brother to come out." After speaking, he laughed lowly, and said after a while: "You take someone to arrest Xu Sheng, and kill Sun Huan for your brother." After speaking, he whispered a few words, Sun Qi has always obeyed his brother's orders, not to mention that he himself is not a good man and a woman, so he answered and ordered troops to kill Xu Sheng.
After the Sun brothers left, Zhuge Ke was also restless in the tent, although he knew that Sun Jun was ruthless and would never be soft, but he was still uneasy in his heart. When Zhuge Ke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead for the third time, he finally heard Sun Jun's voice outside and said, "My lord, the last general asks to see you." ”
Zhuge Ke couldn't wait to invite Sun Jun in, and at first glance, he saw the burden he was carrying in his hand, and sure enough, there was blood dripping underneath. Zhuge Ke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "This official is not mistaken, the general is indeed a person who has achieved great things. Sun Jun stretched out his hand and opened the package, it was Sun Huan's head, and he saw his eyes staring, and his majesty was still there. Zhuge Ke sighed lightly and said, "Governor, Xu Sheng is bent on putting the official to death. In order to protect themselves, the lower officials had no choice but to do so, and asked the governor not to blame him. ”
Zhuge Ke was about to be overjoyed, and said a few words to himself, only to remember that there was still Xu Sheng, and asked again: "Why haven't you seen Xu Sheng's head sent here?" Sun Jun also pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that there was something wrong with the second brother?" And then I will go and see. Without waiting for him to leave, he heard Sun Qi shouting loudly outside: "My lord, brother, something is wrong." ”
Zhuge Ke's color changed immediately, and he hurriedly walked out of the tent, and asked, "What happened?" Sun Qi replied breathlessly: "That Xu Sheng is very brave, and the last general let him escape from the city if he is not careful." "Zhuge Ke originally wanted to take the heads of these two people to see Sun Quan, and then force him to hand over the military power to himself. As long as Sun Huan and Xu Sheng die, the other generals are not to be afraid. But now Xu Sheng has escaped from the city, if he unites the military horses outside the city to kill, Zhuge Ke will definitely die without a place to be buried?
Sun Jun also understood the reason, and hurriedly said, "My lord, quickly get an idea." Otherwise, my two brothers will have to ...... with the adults, alas! Zhuge Ke reacted quickly, and said: "If you don't do it, you won't stop it." Go to the palace to control Your Majesty first, Xu Sheng threw a mouse taboo, and he couldn't help me. Sun Jun was overjoyed in his heart, but he pretended to be very hesitant and said, "This, this, this is a great crime of rebellion." Zhuge Ke snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it a capital crime to kill an important minister without permission?" Do you and the two brothers still want to have a way out? Sun Jun had no choice but to cry and say, "That's it, it's all up to the adult's orders." Then he turned to his brother and said, "Go to the city gate and stop the horses outside the city." Sun Qi hurriedly obeyed the order.
Zhuge Ke said yes, and immediately broke into the palace with Sun Jun with his troops. As for the outside of Sun Quan's bedroom, Sun Junnai said: "My lord, please come in, and the last general will guard outside." Zhuge Ke did not doubt him, so he strode in. Sun Quan had already fallen asleep, but when he saw Zhuge Ke coming in full of clothes, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Aiqing, what is this for?" Zhuge Ke has now opened his bow and has not turned back, throwing Sun Huan's head to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Huan and the others will rebel, and Weichen has already killed him." Xu Sheng escaped from the city and asked His Majesty to issue a decree to capture him. After all, Sun Quan has been a monarch for so many years, although he was very surprised, he quickly calmed down, knowing that Sun Huan and others rebelled falsely, and Zhuge Ke's rebellion was true, so he said coldly: "Qing Yan will rebel, is there any evidence?" Zhuge Ke knew that Sun Quan was unwilling to be used for his own purposes, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, now the rebels are all outside the city, and there are only soldiers and horses under the command of Weichen and General Sun Jun in the city. It is really difficult to fight with the rebels, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict as soon as possible, so that Weichen can appease the rebels and calm this difficulty. ”
Sun Quan naturally knew what soldiers and horses were in the city, and now he listened to Zhuge Ke's slow words, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that Sun Jun also rebelled with him? Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of killing outside. Zhuge Ke was even more surprised in his heart, turned around and shouted, "What happened outside?" As soon as the words fell, I saw Brother Sun Jun leading Xu Sheng and others into the hall. Zhuge Ke suddenly realized at this moment, pointed at Sun Jun, and before he could speak, he was grabbed by Sun Qi and said: "Isn't the thief going to die soon?" "The words fell and beheaded him in front of Sun Quan.
It turned out that Sun Jun saw Zhuge Ke's bad intentions, so he took this opportunity to kill Sun Huan, but asked Sun Qi to secretly let go of Xu Sheng, and then united with the generals to kill Zhuge Ke again, achieving the first merit of counterinsurgency. Sun Quan was already ill, and after this fright, his illness recovered, and when he returned to Jianye, he felt that the limit was approaching. So he summoned Sun Jun, Sun Hong and others to tell him about the future, and died the next day. At that time, Lu Xun, Sun Huan and others were dead, and Sun Jun was in charge alone, serving as prime minister and marquis of Fuchun.
On the second day of Sun Liang's accession to the throne, there was a military report that Zhao Shu's army was approaching Huainan, and Sun Jun knew that the defeat of Xuchang and the national strength were greatly damaged, and it was difficult to compete with Shu Han, so he united the ministers to write a letter, asking Sun Liang to go to the honorific title and claim the title to Han. Sun Liang played on the spot, went to the emperor, called King Wu, and sent an envoy to Zhao Shu's army to negotiate peace.
