Zhang Zhao and others are all capable ministers under his command.

But these people have all become Liu Xun's people.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Quan's heart was difficult to calm down.

In his heart, there was even a trace of anger, anger and the disloyalty of Zhang Zhao and others.

The king humiliates the ministers to death!

Moreover, he has been defeated, but these people are not loyal to him.

Sun Quan held his head high, stared at Liu Xun coldly, and said loudly: "If you want me to be obedient, it is absolutely impossible." Liu Xun, you can go dreaming. Even if Jiangdong is destroyed, even if there is no one under my command, I will not submit to you, a thief. ”

In the end, Sun Quan directly turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

In front of Liu Xun, he was unwilling to lose the last dignity of the Sun family.

Liu Xun's eyes narrowed.

Unexpectedly, this Sun Quan was so stubborn that he was not affected at all.

Liu Xun continued: "Zhongmou, you don't think about yourself, and you don't want to let yourself bend your knees. Don't you think about the people of your Sun family? They want you to live, and they want them to live. ”

Sun Quan grimled coldly and roared in a low voice. "Do you have to kill them all? Now that Jiangdong is yours, they are all a group of old and weak women and children, what threat can they pose to you? ”

Liu Xun said lightly: "Cutting grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows"

Sun Quan said sadly: "Liu Xun, can you still be shameless? Even so, I will not surrender. ”

Liu Xun's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Even if you are not afraid of death, you still have Old Madam Wu, your wife, and your sister to take care of." Can you give them up? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his expression froze.

The people Liu Xun mentioned were all his concerns.

Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "Liu Xun, you said so much, just to make me submit?" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Xun said without hesitation.

In fact, if Sun Quan does not return to obedience, he will not pose a big threat to Jiangdong. After all, he is not his brother, let alone a hero like Sun Ce. If Sun Quan was replaced by Sun Ce, Liu Xun would not hesitate to slash him to death, instead of thinking about making him surrender.

But if he submits, Liu Xun will be qualified to make those die-hard civil and military generals submit to him. After all, there are still some talents among the generals. For example, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao, Lu Meng and others who were captured by themselves.

Liu Xun is familiar with history and naturally knows that no matter how loyal a person is, as long as his lord surrenders to the enemy, then he himself will inevitably surrender.

For example, if he is as loyal as Gao Shun, if he surrendered without Lu Bu leading the team, he would definitely not surrender to Dong Zhuo, who was in turmoil at the beginning, but Lu Bu surrendered, even if he was loyal, he still had to obediently surrender. In other words, if Cao Cao received Lu Bu when he broke through Xiapi, it is estimated that Gao Shun would not think about dying alone, and would definitely surrender with Lu Bu.

Unless it is another case, that is, the concept of the state is formed, then some people who are loyal to the state will not necessarily surrender with the monarch. They are loyal to the state, not to the monarch.

However, Sun Ce has only laid the foundation of Jiangdong for a few years, and it is impossible to form this kind of regional concept, and Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, so he does not have that charm at all.

Therefore, as long as Sun Quan is obedient, Liu Xun can publicize it with great fanfare, and then use this to inform the Jiangdong generals, so that everyone can rest assured, so that everyone will not be affected, and surrender obediently.

Sun Quan laughed coldly and said, "Liu Xun, Liu Xun, you are really scheming. ”

Liu Xun said: "Is there anything that can be done without bothering to do it? ”

Sun Quan didn't answer, and changed his words, saying, "Even if I don't surrender, will you be detrimental to the Sun family?" ”

Liu Xun said without hesitation: "Of course! ”

In fact, because Liu Xun married Sun Shangxiang, he is the one who will not touch the Sun family again. But he is not a fool, how could he tell the truth to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan scolded angrily: "Liu Xun, you are not human. ”

Liu Xun smiled disdainfully: "Your brother Sun Ce crisscrossed the Jiangdong and how to deal with the enemy's family, I believe you know better than me." No one is innocent in this troubled world, let alone the people of your Sun family. ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, he sat on the ground weakly and said softly, "Let me think about it." ”

Liu Xun said: "I hope you can think about it, I don't care if you remember your life." All I want is your civil and military generals, exchange the lives of your family for their allegiance to me, and save the lives of your loyal generals by the way. I hope you think about it and don't be too selfish and let them lose their lives in vain. ”

Sun Quan couldn't help but sit on the ground with his head in pain.

"Wang Hao!"

Liu Xun commanded.

Wang Hao walked in.

Liu Xun instructed: "Send Sun Quan back to his residence, prohibit Sun Quan from going out, and the rest must not interfere." ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Hao got the order, so he escorted Sun Quan away.

The backyard of the Sun Mansion

Mrs. Wu heard that her second son Sun Quan had been arrested by Liu Xun, so she hurried to the Taishou Mansion. I wanted to go directly to ask Liu Xun's subordinates for mercy, but she always felt that her weight was not enough, so she decided to discuss it with her daughter first, depending on the situation. After all, they are already married, so they are married for a hundred days. There should be no problem in how to intercede.

When Sun Shangxiang saw Wu Guotai in Taishou Mansion, he couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Mother, what's wrong with you, you are in such a hurry to see me?" ”

Wu Guotai didn't care about Sun Shangxiang, who was already crying and red-eyed, but sighed: "I heard that Liu Xun gave him a chance and wanted Zhongmou to surrender, but he refused to accept it, what if Liu Xun killed him in anger." ”

Sun Shangxiang comforted: "That person has already sent someone to tell me about this just now, and he said that the second brother is not willing to surrender at all. Now that Jiangdong is broken, the Sun family no longer exists. Mother, see if you can persuade the second brother to stop being stubborn. After all, he still listens to you, and if this goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be bad for the second brother. ”

Wu Guotai said: "If I could persuade him, I would have persuaded him a long time ago, but I couldn't see him at all." Shang Xiang, since you are already married to him, the old man can see that he cares about you very much, can you see if you can ask him to let you meet your second brother, and then persuade him? ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly: "Mother, let's not talk about our marriage. I don't know if he will let me meet the second brother for the sake of the husband and wife. After all, the second brother was the former lord of Jiangdong, and he treated others with himself, I think this person is so cold-blooded, he will definitely not agree to me to go to see the second brother, unless the second brother voluntarily surrenders. ”

Wu Guotai said: "No matter what, you have to give it a try." ”

"Forget it, it's useless.!"

Sun Shangxiang turned her head sadly. He really didn't want to face Liu Xun. Not to mention begging him.

"Alas...... How can this be" After Wu Guotai heard this, the expression on his face was extremely heartbroken.

Although Wu Guotai is a woman, she is also often exposed to battlefield information. After all, the Sun family is a history of war, and according to their Sun family's consistent practice, he knows that if Sun Quan does not surrender, he will definitely die.

Once Liu Xun gets angry, he is likely to kill him directly.

Wu Guotai looked at Sun Shangxiang, with a pleading look in her eyes, and seeing that Sun Shangxiang was still unmoved, she suddenly knelt directly on the ground.

This scene immediately startled Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to support Wu Guotai, and hurriedly said, "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu Guotai couldn't get up, and said, "Shang Xiang, my mother will ask you for one thing." ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "You get up and say." ”

Wu Guotai said: "If you don't agree, I won't get up." ”

Sun Shangxiang cried: "I promise, I promise you, isn't it okay?" ”

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang is also extremely desperate. Is even my mother going to come and force me now? Does she not know the pain of my heart at all?

When Wu Guotai heard Sun Shangxiang's words, he couldn't squeeze out a smile on his haggard face. She stood up and said, "Your second brother is unwilling to surrender, and he will probably be killed in the end." You are Liu Xun's wife, beg Liu Xun not to kill your second brother. ”

Sun Shangxiang said numbly: "I know, I will do my best." ”

Wu Guotai nodded repeatedly.

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's promise, Wu Guo still had no bottom in his heart. But I don't know what to do about it.

Wu Guotai sighed and continued: "Now that there are enough people in the family, any power is a passing cloud, I just hope that the family can be safe and sound, and no relatives will die." ”

Sun Shangxiang said sadly: "Mother rest assured, my daughter will do her best." ”

At this time, Sun Shangxiang's heart was also in a mess. Although they are husband and wife, she and Liu Xun are not familiar at all, and she doesn't know how to intercede with Liu Xun.

Wu Guotai looked at Sun Shangxiang's expression and knew that she was still entangled in the relationship between the death of the eldest son Sun Ce and Liu Xun.

In order to untie her heart, Wu Guotai said calmly to Sun Shangxiang: "Shangxiang Niang, tell you the truth, in fact, I still don't hold a grudge against Liu Xun for killing my eldest son. After all, you are fighting for power and profit on the battlefield, and no one can blame anyone for losing the battle.

Your father, your eldest brother has fought and killed many innocent people in his life, isn't the life of these people not fate? Think about it, if Liu Xun was defeated in Lujiang, with my understanding of your eldest brother, he would definitely spare him. So don't always worry about this matter in your heart, fearlessly increase hatred. Now that he has married you and forgiven a group of people in the Sun family, in this way, he is not only not an enemy, but a benefactor of ours. Are you looking at wars between other princes, how many families on the defeated side can have a good result? Basically, men are killed and women are slaves, relatively speaking, Liu Xun is a very good person.

After Mrs. Wu said this, she walked away silently.

Mrs. Wu left, and Sun Shangxiang didn't get up to see her off, her mind was full of reminiscences of her mother's words, and she felt panicked.

The sky gradually darkened, Sun Shangxiang seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and she went straight to Liu Xun's study.

Liu Xun looked up and saw that it was Sun Shangxiang, and couldn't help flashing a trace of doubt: "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing Liu Xun, Sun Shangxiang calmed down, and his face was still expressionless: "Can you let my second brother live?" ”

Facing Liu Xun, Sun Shangxiang was also a little apprehensive, but he still reluctantly said something.

After all, Sun Quan did not want to surrender and was likely to be executed, and as his sister, he naturally hoped that he would be alive.

Liu Xun stepped forward and grabbed Sun Shangxiang's hand.

Sun Shangxiang wanted to resist, but he thought that he had something to ask him for after all, so he could only let Liu Xun go.

Liu Xun smiled very satisfied with this, and said, "Shang Xiang, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will arrange it." ”
