Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 206 Beating Sun Quan Violently
Shen Chen took Zhang Hong and Sun Quan back to Lingyang City.

When Sun Quan left, he looked back at the place where his seal had sunk, secretly remembering the location.

For him, the seal represents not only a status symbol, but also a proof of his father and brother's inheritance. Losing the seal is like losing his life.

Ke Ren was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

Therefore, the current unwillingness can only be tolerated for the time being, and let's talk about escaping this difficulty first.

If he can escape from Shen Chen's hands one day, he must get the seal back and take revenge on Shen Chen. Sooner or later, he will wash away the humiliation of losing the seal today!
Chen Chen!

Sun Quan looked at the high-spirited Shen Chen's back in front of him, his eyes were full of burning anger!
One day in the future, he will make this boy pay the price!
After returning to the mansion of Lingyang County Government, Shen Chen forced Zhang Hong and Sun Quan to hand over their weapons, and searched their bodies to prevent them from escaping secretly with sharp weapons in the county government.

He sent people to search the entire mansion, then put them under house arrest in the backyard, and then went out to conduct tactical deployment with Liu Qi and the others in the front hall.

When it was nearly dark, Shen Chen deployed the whole strategy, returned to the backyard, and came to the study.

"Mr. Zhang!"

When Shen Chen entered, he saw that the two of them were reading a book, and there were guards around the door. They also asked about it just now, but nothing unusual was found.

Now the whole city is under the control of the Jiangxia navy, and food and grass have also begun to be carried on board, because no one knows when the Jiangdong navy will attack, so it is necessary to plan for a few more days.

After everything was properly arranged, Shen Chen came to Zhang Hong. Firstly, he wanted to persuade him to see if he could persuade him to surrender, and secondly, he also wanted to learn some information about Jiangdong from him.

Hearing the movement from the door, both of them turned their heads calmly, and Sun Quan even stood up from the table, watching with a guarded posture and eyes.

It wasn't until this time that Shen Chen realized that this man named Henry was quite tall, with an extremely strong body, and he was not at all like father and son with the thin Zhang Hong.

"General Shen."

Zhang Hong stood up from the table, looked at him and said, "I don't know what's the matter with the general?"

Shen Chen walked in with a smile, unceremoniously sat on the mat opposite Zhang Hong, and said to him: "It's getting late, let's see how your life is going, the soldiers are rough people, don't you neglect them."

"General Lao is concerned about it, and he can live in it, and no one neglects him."

Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "I also ask the general to keep his promise and release us father and son. I will be very grateful."

Shen Chen waved his hand and said, "Sir, don't be so impatient. You and I know my purpose. The torrential rain in the past two months has caused the grain and grass transported from Jingzhou to Yuzhang to sink. General Huang Zu had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but Sun Quan sent people to attack. When Zhou Yu came back, he had no choice but to make such a bad plan. Sir is Sun Quan's most trusted counselor, and my husband can also make Sun Quan fight the mouse."

"Since you only want me, please let the general let me go back."

Zhang Hong looked at him seriously and said: "My youngest son is still young and has nothing to do. There is an old wife in the family. If something happens to the old man, the eldest son will be left to manage the family business, so that the family will not be ruined."

Shen Chen nodded: "This is human nature, but we can't let him go now. What if we let him go and there is nothing to threaten Mr. There are some things, so please allow Mr. and Takako to stay in the city for a few days, and we can talk about it later."

"you"

Zhang Hong opened his eyes wide, pointed at him and said, "General Shen, I heard that what you did in Jingzhou was quite gentlemanly, and you once said the principle of "unity of knowledge and action", which was praised by Jingzhou scholars. How can you do it like this?"

Shen Chen shook his head and said: "You should act like a gentleman, but you can't fight. War is to use all means to defeat the enemy. Ziyu said: "You don't know war.People who are against the enemy are not listed in the pass, and heaven praises me.Isn't it okay to block and encourage it?There is still fear!And today's scumbags are all our enemies.Although it is related to hu fen, if you get it, you will take it. What's the difference with Ermao?To be ashamed to teach war is to kill the enemy.The injury is not enough to kill, how can it not be serious?If you love serious injuries, you should not be injured; if you love the hair, you should obey them.The three armies use it for use, and the golden drum uses it for sound.If you use it for profit, you can block it; "Even the former teacher Confucius once said, "Feng He, the violent tiger, who dies without regrets, I will not be with him."You must also be afraid when things happen, and those who are easy to plan to succeed." Wars are fought with strategies, and you must be brave and strategic, not the so-called pedantic dogma. So please forgive me, but I guarantee that you and your son will be released afterwards. Two people."

""Jin people and Jiang Rong defeated Qin Yuyao", Confucius also admired Song Xianggong's kingly benevolence and righteousness. War should be upright. You are a Confucian scholar and you call yourself a gentleman, so you should not kidnap other people's heirs."

Zhang Hong frowned, and began to sit and discuss with Shen Chen.

Shen Chen smiled and said: "If you are reciting the words of the former sages, sticking to the rules that have been practiced, being unable to adapt to changes, and not following the time, if this is the case, it can be said that the words of Wang Mang and Song Xianggong are not enough to be righteous. In the past Wang Mang tried to be virtuous, he did not ask whether it is possible, his words must refer to the scriptures, he did not measure people's hearts, and his actions must be based on the ancients, so the world was troubled and collapsed, and he lost it. This is also the disaster of not knowing the change. The former Song Xianggong tasted benevolence and righteousness. If the Chu people are deceitful, I will believe them. If the soldiers are strange, I will be correct. I will use my desire to prosper the way of business and dominate the princes. I will be held by the enemy in the first battle, and I will die in the second battle. The country will be destroyed, and it will make the world laugh. Misfortune."

"Since you are a Confucian scholar, you should restrain yourself and return to the courtesy!"

Zhang Hong insisted.

But Shen Chen waved his hand: "Okay, sir, I have also read countless classics, so I should know that if there is a way in the world, the conquest of rites and music will come from the emperor; if there is no way in the world, the conquest of rites and music will come from the princes." We are all innocent people. In this world, only Cao Cao’s coercion of the emperor to go to war can be regarded as righteous. You and I both know that you want me to let your son go, but you persuade others to be righteous when you are innocent. Could it be that the ruler knows propriety, and who doesn't know propriety?"

"Forehead"

Zhang Hong was speechless for a moment, if he clings to the teachings of saints, then according to the standard of "unjust warfare in the Spring and Autumn Period", the war between them would be an unjust war in the first place.

When neither party has a righteous name, you still ask others to obey the rules, which is a double-standard behavior in itself.

So in the final analysis, Zhang Hong's argument is actually not tenable.

It's just that he is selfish and wants to protect Sun Quan.

After a while, Zhang Hong could only smile wryly and said: "People say that Shen Xiaolang has learned from ancient to modern times, and he knows all the classics. I didn't believe it before, but I have seen it today, which makes me ashamed. I hope the general will not break his promise and let us go." Father and son go back."

"It's natural."

Shen Chen was about to get to the point next, and said seriously: "Mr. is also a master of Confucian classics. I often heard of Mr.'s reputation in Jingzhou, and Mr. is also a resourceful person. Can't you see that the world has changed a lot, but you and I are both Han Chinese, don't you?" Thinking of serving the country and helping the Han Dynasty, but trying to separate the regime, so that people are dying, what is the explanation for this?"

Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "Qin lost its deer, and the world pursued it together. Han lost its tripod, and the world cast it together. Everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes. Then why is he the one who forged the nine tripods?" , instead of Marquis Wu?"

"Ah"

Shen Chen smiled: "Mr. just told me to restrain oneself and return to courtesy, but now he has lost his power. This is called a fault, and people must know it?"

Zhang Hong didn't feel ashamed because of this, but said seriously: "Isn't it like this?"

"That's it."

Shen Chen nodded and admitted, "However, Sun Quan is not a good master. If you have ambitions in your heart, sir, you should find a real master instead of following Sun Quan."

"you"

Sun Quan was furious at the side, he stood up angrily and pointed at Shen Chen, "Why do you say that about me?"

"Ok?"

Shen Chen looked at him suspiciously and said, "What am I?"

"My Marquis Wu is not a good lord?"

Sun Quan's reaction was quick, and he cupped his hands towards the northeast and Jiangdong and said, "Marquis Wu inherits his father and brother's foundation, cultivates the people's livelihood inside, cuts off the rebel thieves, crusades against Li Shu outside, and defeats the bandits in Jiangxia.

To some extent, from the standpoint of Soochow, Sun Quan has the appearance of a master.Not only is he a virtuous corporal, he is courageous and resourceful, but he is also very good at listening to other people's opinions.

For example, in his early years, Sun Quan liked to go to battle in person. Like his father and elder brother, he charged into battle with third-rate force and killed the enemy with his hands.

Then Zhang Hong advised him not to do this, although there was still the battle of Hefei later.But at most, they took people to the front line to see the situation. After Zhang Hong's admonition, they hardly charged forward like they did in the early days.

There is also the matter of shooting tigers.

Sun Quan also liked hunting like his elder brother, and he especially liked hunting tigers. He chased tigers every day on horseback, and even fought tigers with halberds.

Like Su Shi's song "The old man chatted about being a teenager, holding the yellow on the left, holding the blue sky on the right, the brocade hat, the sable fur, and the thousand riders rolling the Pinggang. To report the allure, follow the prefect, shoot the tiger personally, and watch Sun Lang." It is about Sun Quan shooting Tiger thing.

Later Zhang Zhao found out about this and went to persuade him not to shoot tigers. Although Sun Quan still liked to do it, he finally listened to the advice and stopped shooting tigers on horseback. Shoot the tiger and make yourself a little bit safer.

So Sun Quan tends to go his own way most of the time, but it is not ridiculous in the early stage. At least in the early and mid-term, except for the Hefei incident and backstabbing allies, the overall performance is still very good, but it is just a little bit broken in his later years.

Of course, Shen Chen knew that the future Sun Quan would be bad, but the current Sun Quan was indeed in the rising stage of youth, and it was obviously impossible to persuade Zhang Hong with reason.

So he pondered for a while and said: "Sun Quan is just in the name of his father and brother. Although he looks good, he is far worse than his father and brother."

"."

Sun Quan clenched his fists, and a green glint flashed in his eyes.

The two big mountains of father and brother have weighed him down for too long, and he needs to prove himself!
Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "My lord has both virtue and ability, good character and virtuous qualities, no worse than his father and brother. If Shen Xiaolang wants to belittle my lord and persuade me to surrender, then there is no need for it."

Shen Chen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to surrender, I want to ask Mr. Sun Quan how to arrange along the way in Jiangdong."

"No comment."

Zhang Hong closed his eyes.

Shen Chen waved his hand: "Come here."

"General!"

Seven or eight guards rushed in at the door.

“Take Henry Zhang to the front yard and torture him.”

"only!"

"General Shen!"

Zhang Hong was shocked and said, "You agreed that you would not harm our father and son."

Shen Chen said: "I just promised not to kill you, but I didn't promise to torture you. You can't be pedantic when you fight."

"Humph!"

Sun Quan was very stubborn. After being caught, he snorted coldly: "Father, don't talk to him, just hit him."

"Drag out!"

Shen Chen waved his hand.

The guards took Sun Quan out.

Zhang Hong hurriedly stood up to stop him, but was stopped by the guards.

"General Shen!"

He said angrily, "Is this a virtuous principle?"

Shen Chen smiled and said nothing.

After a while, vague screams came from the front yard.

Zhang Hong was so anxious that he walked up and down the hall, finally heaved a long sigh and said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything."

Shen Chen nodded: "I'm listening, but in order to prevent fraud, there are many prisoners in the city, I will ask them one by one, and I plan to torture you later, and ask your son."

"you!"

Zhang Hong's plan failed, and he trembled with anger. In the end, like a deflated ball, he revealed all of Jiangdong's deployment, except for concealing Sun Quan's affairs in Lingyang, and almost completely revealed everything.

Shen Chen wrote down one by one, then turned and went out.

After a while, he brought Sun Quan back again. Seeing that Sun Quan was unharmed, Zhang Hong hurriedly asked, "Xuan'er, are you alright?"

"Ah ah ah."

A guard next to him let out a few screams.

The surrounding guards immediately burst into laughter, only then did Zhang Hong realize that he had been deceived, pointed at Shen Chen and cursed angrily, "You treacherous little thief."

"hey-hey."

Shen Chen looked at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's figure was extremely tall, his eyes stared at him fiercely, and a little beard grew on his chin.

The blue-eyed purple beard doesn't mean his green eyes and purple beard, but his piercing eyes and bushy beard.

It's just that he's only 23 years old now, and although his eyes are bright, occasionally they still sparkle with green light, but his beard hasn't fully grown yet, even with the blue eyes and purple beard, the ghost knows that he is Sun Quan.

"It's kind of weird to say."

Seeing his appearance, Shen Chen stroked his chin and said, "Mr. Zigang is short and thin, but the son he gave birth to is actually so tall."

Zhang Hong was shocked.

Sun Quan was also secretly shocked, fearing that Shen Chen would see through his identity, he had an idea and shouted: "An dare to insult my father! If you can't take revenge, how can you be a son of man? How dare you wrestle with me!"

"Oh?"

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I will satisfy you, and I will accompany you out to practice."

As he spoke, he came outside the hall and said to the guard, "Let him go."

"Humph."

The guard gave him a push and pushed him into the yard outside the door.

Sun Quan staggered two steps, stretched his muscles and bones, and then slowly walked across to Shen Chen, and the two began to confront each other.

After a while, Sun Quan stepped to the left.

Shen Chen walked to the right.

The two circled around in circles, as if they wanted to find each other's flaws.

At this moment, Sun Quan suddenly made his move first, rushing towards Shen Chen like a hungry tiger.

Seeing that Shen Chen's figure was extremely flexible, he suddenly jumped to the left, dodged the attack, and then swept his legs.

"boom!"

Sun Quan fell into the mud.

"That's it?"

Shen Chen laughed: "Although the body is tall and straight, it's nothing more than a superficial appearance. What's the use if you only know how to read and don't practice martial arts?"

He also thought that Sun Quan, as Zhang Hong's son, knew how to study with the great Confucian every day, which wasted his material.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and rushed over from the ground again.

It's just that his third-rate martial arts is really a bit of a letdown. Shen Chen has been in good health these years, and his martial arts have been increasing day by day. He is already at the level of a second-rate general. How can he be invincible?

Immediately, he was beaten with bangs and punches, and soon Sun Quan became bruised and swollen, nosebleeds flew everywhere, and he was beaten and lay on the ground.

"Send him to a doctor."

Shen Chen looked at Zhang Hong who was already stunned, shrugged and said, "Sir, your son wants to wrestle with me, so I can't blame others."

After saying that, he turned around and went out the door, leaving Zhang Hong in a mess in the wind.
