Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 459 Rage

The first month of the fourth year of Emperor Wu's Sun Quan Jiahe.

Sun Quan gave a grand banquet to all the ministers to celebrate the success of the Northern Expedition and expand the territory.But according to the attendant's words, Gongsun Yuan beheaded the envoy sent by Sun Quan and dedicated it to Cao Wei.

"Oh!"

Sun Quan threw the cup in his hand angrily, and the bronze wine cup rolled on the ground several times, and the wine in the cup splashed everywhere.

"Gongsun, you are too deceptive."

Sun Quan's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was because of alcohol or anger.Sun Quan stood up, kicked the drinking case over, and cursed angrily.

"I am fifty years old. I have never experienced the hardships and hardships in the world. Now I am being teased by the rats, which makes me angry. If I don't cut off the heads of the rats and throw them into the sea, what will I do?" Yan Jun has come to all kingdoms, even if the country is ruined for this, he will never resent!"

As he spoke, Sun Quan's eyes widened, he pulled out the sharp sword from Gu Li's waist, cut off the corner of the wooden case, and shouted.

"Take my armor and come here, and the generals will follow me across the sea and capture Gongsun Yuan alive. If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I be the master of Wu."

Selected Cao Shangshu Lu Mao hurriedly stood up from the table, grabbed Sun Quan who came down from the steps, and advised him: "My lord, I think Gongsun Yuan is no more than a Dongyi clown. He is far away from the sea. It is no different. What the country does not love goods and treasures and add them to others is not because of virtue and righteousness. They sincerely want to lure and fool them, so as to make them attack and harass Wei. Gongsun Yuan is arrogant and cunning, relying on far and disobeying orders. , how can it be deeply strange?"

"It is difficult for the country to vent its anger today. It wants to cross the huge sea, and the imperial conquest. The minister thought that Yuan had an alliance with Wei Wei, and he would join Wei to attack us. Besides, it is thousands of miles away from our country. Now that it has reached its shore, the enemy army is waiting for work. Our army Tired, why should we fight against the enemy? If our army stays in the north for a long time, we will send our troops south to overthrow our country if we rebel against Wei. Mountains and Yues will take advantage of the gap to rise again, which will be of no benefit to the country!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly, shook off Lu Mao's hand, looked around at the generals, and said, "Is there anyone who doesn't want to follow me across the sea to attack Liao?"

All the generals at the table looked at each other in blank dismay, slowly getting ready to stand up, not daring to confront Sun Quan who was burning with anger.

The servant of Shang Shu shot Xue Zong striding out, knelt down and took off his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is the king, the head of all nations, and the fate of the world is also the fate of the world. The emperor of the Han and Yuan Dynasties wants to control the buildings and ships. Xue Guangde, please slash your neck and stain it with blood." Cars. Why? The danger of water and fire is extremely dangerous, and it is not suitable for an emperor to get involved. The proverb says: "The son of a thousand pieces of gold will not sit down. How about the honor of a thousand vehicles?"

"Today's Liaodong is a small country. The land is very cold, the crops are not growing, and the people are accustomed to pommel horses, and their migrations are impermanent. The country attacks its land. Although it gains an open space, it is useless to defend it. Moreover, the torrent is raging, and it is difficult to form a mountain. Traveling by sea Impermanence, turmoil is inevitable. Now the country has made great achievements in the Northern Expedition, and the rebellion against Wei is imminent. At that time, His Majesty will rule China, and Liaodong will die by itself. It is not a good strategy to violate the rules of military affairs and put yourself in a dangerous place."

"If the country wants to conquer Liaodong, the minister has no talent for fighting, so he can only imitate Xue Guangde and cut his neck here to repay the country's kindness."

As he said that, Xue Zong strode forward, drew out his attendant's sword, and wanted to cut his neck at the banquet.Seeing this, everyone hurried forward to stop Xue Zong's behavior.

"Nation!" Quan Zong looked at Sun Quan and begged.

Xue Zong, courtesy name Jingwen, was born in Zhuyi, Pei County, and studied under Liu Xi, a great Confucian scholar in the late Han Dynasty.Only those who are proficient in Confucian classics can be known for being good at writing and have excellent talents.Among Soochow, the reputation is very high.

Sun Quan sighed, and said, "Jingwen put down his sword for now, since you are a scribe, wielding a sword is beyond your ability!"

Lu Xun, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and cupped his hands to persuade him: "Your Majesty, with the posture of martial arts, has inherited the fate of the sky. He defeated Cao Cao in Wulin, defeated Liu Bei in Xiling, and captured Guan Yu in Jingzhou. These three are the heroes of the world. , but was destroyed by His Majesty. The small country in Liaodong, relying on danger and strength, can really be angry."

"But now is the time when we are about to level the Central Plains and unify the world. If you can't bear the small anger, you will get angry and lighten the importance of the sage, and this minister will be confused. I hope that the country will not abandon Jiangdong Wan'an's original career, and lead the six divisions. With the prestige of the captives, China will be determined early, and the emperor's legacy will be inherited. At that time, the minister is willing to lead the heavenly soldiers to dedicate the country to the country."

Sun Quan looked at the opposing minister, sighed, and returned the sword to Gu Li.At the beginning, despite everyone's opposition, he insisted on uniting with Gongsun Yuan, and even had a falling out with veteran Zhang Zhao, but he didn't expect to end up like this now.If it weren't for the fact that the Northern Expedition had won Jiangxia, its prestige would have declined.

At this time, an attendant walked to Lu Mao's side, handed the letter information in his arms to Lu Mao, and said in a low voice: "Lu Xuancao, the battle of Shu Han."

Lu Hao waved his hand, opened the letter and read it.

Not long after, Lu Hao showed joy, went straight to Sun Quan, saluted and said: "My lord, there has been a change in the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han. The general of the Han chariots, Huang Quan, Yu Chencang, flooded Xia Houru's [-] troops, and shocked the middle land. Take Chang’an by yourself. Pseudo-emperor Cao Rui personally led the army to attack the Han army, and the Han Lord also came to Guanzhong. At this time, Luoyang was empty, and China was in a state of turmoil. Please, the country temporarily wants to conquer Liao in Ning, and activate the Sixth Army, and attack the Central Plains in the north.”

"what!"

Everyone in the banquet exclaimed, Sun Quan took the letter with an incredulous face, looked at the battle report on the letter and fell into a daze, sighed and said: "Weird!"

Sun Quan shook his head again and again, only feeling that the enemies Zhuge Liang and the others faced were not the same group of people.At the beginning, Sima Yi guarded Jingzhou, making it difficult for the Wu army to invade.Now when facing Zhuge Liang, he is as fearful of the enemy as a mouse, and even let the unknown Huang Quan flood [-] troops.

Lu Xun stroked his beard and sighed, "At the Battle of Xiling, when Xun and Huang Quan faced each other, you could see their camps and know what they were capable of. Later, when you asked the Shu people to return to the generals, you knew that the Battle of Hanzhong was his plan. Now we can have Chencang Flooded, we can see his military strategy."

People who have heard of Huang Quan's name, whether they know his ability or not, are all praising Huang Quan's strategy.It seems that Huang Quan has long been famous all over the world, and he is the best handsome man in the world.

Sun Quan snorted coldly, and said lightly and full of sourness: "Liu Chan is very lucky. He has Zhuge Liang, Wang Ping, and Huang Quan, so why not worry about failure."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone shut up.Because they know that their supreme jealousy has committed another crime, so they can't praise Shu Han for being strong.

When Zhang Wen came back from his mission, he was praised for Zhuge Liang's ability to govern and Liu Chan's virtuous corporal, so he was thrown into the cold palace and imprisoned.If Liu Chan hadn't replaced Zhang Wen with [-] horses, Zhang Wen might have almost died of depression.

Sun Quan sat back on the couch, motioned his attendants to clean up the mess in front of him, and asked: "Your Excellencies have said that we should conquer Wei first, and then establish Liaodong. Now there is a good opportunity, what do you think, what should I, the great Wu, do?"

Quan Zong pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think you can wait until spring, when the river rises, and lead the army to attack Hefei or Xiangyang."

"I think it's feasible!" Lu Xun said.

"The same is true for the ministers!" Everyone responded.

Sun Quan stood up and paced back and forth, thinking of Xiangyang's moat that was more than a hundred steps wide, he couldn't help being afraid, and said: "In this case, we will attack Hefei."

"promise!"

After a pause, Sun Quan said: "Jingwen, please invite Louhou (Zhang Zhao) to court for me."

"No!" Xue Zong responded.

When Gongsun Yuan became a minister to Sun Wu, Zhang Zhao repeatedly advised Sun Quan not to agree.Sun Quan argued with him repeatedly, and Zhang Zhao's remonstrance became more and more sincere.

Sun Quan couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed the knife and said angrily: "The scholars of the state of Wu worship me when they enter the palace, and worship you when they leave the palace. I respect you very much, but you have humiliated me several times in the crowd. , I’m afraid I’ll hurt you by mistake.”

Zhang Zhao stared at Sun Quan for a long time before he said: "Although I know that my words will not be listened to, the reason why I want to be foolish and loyal every time is that when the Empress Dowager was dying, she called the old minister under the bed and said the edict to protect her fate. Now It's still in my ears!"

After speaking, Zhang Zhao burst into tears.Sun Quan also threw his knife on the ground, and wept against Zhang Zhao.

Although the two were deeply affectionate and loyal, Sun Quan still sent envoys to Liaodong.Zhang Zhao resented that his advice was not accepted, so he retired.In a rage, Sun Quan ordered someone to seal Zhang Zhao's house with earth so that he would never go out.Zhang Zhao also had someone block the door from the inside to show that he never planned to go out.
