Chapter 622: Shouchun returns to Wu, and the second generation returns to Han
The next day.
Sun Quan was a little drunk at the enthronement ceremony yesterday and didn't get up until noon.
"Gongji, I drank too much yesterday, so don't be careful."
"I will think more about what you say."
"But how to place them still needs to be considered in the long run."
Ling Tong's status in Eastern Wu is comparable to Xu Chu in Cao Wei and Zhao Yun in Shu Han.
It can be said that it is the henchmen around the sovereign, especially Ling Tong, who can also command the army, which is far more cost-effective than Xu Chu.
Sun Quan thought of this afterwards and decisively decided to appease Ling Tong, as for how to deal with those second generations of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan still planned to idle them.
Kept in captivity in Soochow, it's not bad to be a canary for the rest of your life.
When they reach adulthood, they will be rewarded with a few idle official positions, even if they have an account.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mang, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, asks to see you."
Zhang Wen bowed, and Sun Quan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to meet him.
"Liu Changqing didn't give me face yesterday, and he still wants to talk to me about things today?"
"Do you really think I don't have a temper? Now that the Three Kingdoms are established, are you really afraid that he will not succeed? ”
Seeing that Ling Tong's elm head did not say anything, Sun Quan hurriedly gestured to Zhang Wen with his eyes.
"Your Majesty, no matter how you say it, you are also an ally."
"Liu Changqing is so sincere, waiting outside the palace gate, and asking His Majesty to see him."
Zhang Wen immediately realized that Sun Quan was looking for steps.
It's a pity that Ling Tong's emotional intelligence needs to be improved, and he didn't get Sun Quan's point at all.
"Since Aiqing is so persuasive, let Liu Changqing come over!"
After a while, Liu Mang walked into the Taichu Palace.
"Uncle, don't drink too much if you can't drink it, men drink too much, be careful!"
Poof!
The palace maids around him hid their faces and smiled, but Sun Quan was red-faced.
Thinking of yesterday, I was so drunk that I was really sorry for the concubines who came to bed.
"What's the matter with my brother-in-law, you might as well tell me directly!"
"You and I don't have to talk about it."
Sun Quan hurriedly changed the topic, not wanting to bother with more words on this matter.
"I heard that the eldest brother, I almost captured Shouchun before?"
"Although Lu Ziming likes to play some intrigues, his ability to grasp the fighter is still good."
Liu Mang asked knowingly, if it weren't for Cao Pi's support for Sun Quan's claim to be emperor, how would Sun 100,000 give up?
Conquering Shouchun is his first step to prove himself.
"Huh...... My brother-in-law laughed, now my Dawu has established diplomatic relations with you, Dahan and Dawei. ”
"If they are friendly neighbors, how can they capture other people's cities?"
"I have already asked Ziming to withdraw his troops, and Ling Tong has returned to Jianye one step ahead of schedule and come to the palace to protect my safety."
Sun Quan said that he didn't care on the surface, but in fact, his heart ached.
After all, Shouchun is like a piece of fat, which was originally at his fingertips, but for the sake of the so-called fame, he could only endure the pain of cutting his love.
Not to mention the heavy weight of food and grass spent on sending troops.
"I came here today to discuss a deal with my uncle."
"If you go to attack Shouchun, it will hinder the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"However, if my Han Dynasty takes Shouchun and then cedes this city, Dongwu can justifiably occupy Shouchun."
Liu Mang said this, and in Sun Quan's eyes, he couldn't hold back his greedy look.
"Brother-in-law, is this true?"
Sun Quan took a deep breath, for fear that Liu Mang would regret it.
"Naturally, I've always been a man of my word."
"But such a good Shouchun City, how can it be easily handed over?"
As soon as Liu Mang's words came out, Sun Quan smiled.
"I don't know brother-in-law, how can I cut my love for Shouchun?"
"As long as the conditions are right, as an elder brother, I will definitely agree to you."
Liu Mang heard the implication of Sun Quan's words, if he opened his mouth, Sun Quan might not take the bait.
Especially Shouchun is too far away from Jingzhou, even if Liu Mang successfully attacks the city, he is destined to be unable to garrison it for a long time.
"It's easy! I only need my eldest brother to hand over the eldest brother of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and the eldest son of Zhuge Jin's family to me. ”
"By the way, there are also the two sisters-in-law of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and it is a waste of food to stay in Soochow."
"Especially those who have a heart, they will poke the backbone of the eldest brother behind their backs."
"I'm the most can't see my eldest brother being wronged, so you hand over these people to me in exchange for Shouchun City, but you won't lose money."
Sun Quan pondered carefully for a moment, and then made a choice without hesitation.
Whether it is his nephew Sun Shao or his sister-in-law Da Qiao, it is a hot potato for him now.
I didn't want to cultivate Sun Shao, not to mention that now that Sun Ce was posthumously named emperor, Sun Shao was even more qualified to inherit the throne.
In case in the future, Sun Ce will compete for the throne with his own lineage, how can it be good?
Sun Quan would never allow this to happen.
If Sun Ce goes to the Han Dynasty, he will no longer be legally qualified to return to Soochow.
You can't let the people of Eastern Wu serve a Han as the emperor, right?
As for Zhou Yin, Lu Shu and others, even if they inherit the excellent bloodline of their fathers, they have no acquired cultivation, and they will still be unknown to everyone when they grow up.
Sun Quan even less believed that these people had more talents than their fathers.
He thought that Liu Mang was betting on these people, but he didn't know that except for Zhuge Ke, Liu Mang didn't have hope for others at all.
He used Shouchun to exchange for these second generations of Wu, but it was just because he was hypocritical with their parents.
"This matter, according to my brother-in-law's words."
"They are all my great Wu merits, and I hope my brother-in-law will not treat them badly!"
"Where does my brother-in-law plan to send troops to capture Shouchun for me?"
Sun Quan looked impatient, which made Liu Mang feel disgusted.
This ugly face was finally revealed.
"This matter is not in a hurry, this army naturally wants to come out of Dongwu."
"Whether it's Jingzhou or Jiaozhou, won't the daylily be cold when they come over?"
"What's more, I really dare to send troops there, uncle, do you dare to let my Han army enter the country?"
Thinking of the terrifying strength of the Han army, Sun Quan's head immediately shook like a rattle.
"So, I can only use your generals from Dongwu."
"Let them use the banner of my big man, and Cao Pi will take revenge on me."
"When Shouchun City is broken, it will be the time for you to hand over people."
Sun Quan smiled when he heard this: "These people are meritorious deeds, and they are definitely not prisoners. ”
"In order to show sincerity, I will hand over the person to you first, anyway, will you Liu Changqing break his promise?"
As Sun Quan said, Liu Bei's father and son have always been known for their faithfulness and righteousness, and they definitely can't speak.
What's more, in this battle, Liu Mang can just understand the strength of the army of Eastern Wu.
"In this battle, I will let Ling Tong protect my brother-in-law at any time."
"With Lu Ziming as the leader, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, He Qi and others will obey your command."
"I wonder what other problems my brother-in-law has?"
Sun Quan's true appearance is enough to see his covetousness for Shouchun.
Among them, Lu Meng followed Liu Mang's side, just enough to clamp down on the other party.
"Almost, make do with it!"
"I used to use the Five Tiger Admirals before, and it is really embarrassing to use these crooked melons and split dates again!"
