Soldiers come to the world

Wu County is the capital of the Sun Clan regime in Eastern Wu, which is today's Suzhou City. It was built by Wu Zixu, and the city lasted for 500 years until today.

On Lingyan Mountain outside the west city of Wuxian County, an exquisite and elegant building complex was built, covering an area of ​​about [-] mu.

This is the departure palace of Sun Quan's mother Wu. It was originally the Guanwa Palace built by Fucha for the beauty Xishi. It was destroyed by fire, but Wu liked the scenery here, so Sun Quan rebuilt it on the basis of the original Guanwa Palace. , for the mother to live in.

Not long after the new year, Mrs. Wu fell ill. She invited many famous doctors to treat her for a long time, but none of them worked. The disease became more and more serious. Several medical craftsmen have already stated clearly that the old lady will not survive this summer.

Sun Quan also didn't take off his clothes, and he served his mother day and night. As his mother's illness worsened, he felt particularly heavy.

A courtyard not far from Wu's ward was set up as Sun Quan's temporary residence. This small courtyard, covering an area of ​​less than three acres, became a gathering place for the military aircraft and government affairs of the Soochow regime. Send all kinds of documents and military newspapers.

In the study room on the second floor, Sun Quan was sitting behind a few desks and writing quickly, stopping from time to time to look up and think deeply.

Sun Quan is 21 years old this year, and he is the youngest lord among all the separatist princes. He has purple beard and blue eyes, bright eyes, a big mouth, and a magnificent appearance that is different from ordinary people.

When the imperial envoy Jiaxi Sun Ce once asserted, "I see that although the Sun brothers are all talented and brilliant, they are all inexhaustible, but the middle brother is filial and honest. surface. '

Sun Quan took over his elder brother Sun Ce's foundation the year before last. There were internal and external troubles.

However, Sun Quan maintained internal security and external stability, suppressed rebellion, selected talents and appointed talents, pacified mountains and mountains, and opened up territories.

Last autumn, Cao Cao's army attacked Liu Bei in Runan, and Jingzhou was shaken. Liu Biao mobilized [-] troops to garrison Xiangyang, resulting in a shortage of troops in Jiangxia, which made Sun Quan have an idea.

At this time, Jiangxia Zhang Wu and Chen Sun refused to accept Huang Zu and wanted to claim rebellion and rebellion, so they specially sent someone to secretly send a letter to Jiangdong. Under Lu Su's persuasion, Sun Quan resolutely decided to send troops to Peng Ze to wait and see the situation.

If Liu Biao was unable to quell the rebellion of Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, he would take the opportunity to conquer Jiangxia. If Liu Biao's army came to the west, the Jiangdong army would also stand still.

However, Liu Biao ordered Liu Bei to lead the army to the west, and quickly quelled the chaos of Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, without giving Jiangdong's army a chance.

Just when Sun Quan was considering whether to send more troops to Peng Ze to take Chaisang as the bridgehead to attack Jiangxia, his mother unfortunately fell ill, so Sun Quan had to stop fighting and pray for his mother's recovery.

At this time, footsteps came from the door, followed by a girl's crisp voice, "Brother, can I come in?"

It was the voice of the younger sister Shangxiang. Sun Jiantong, the father of Sun Quan, married the Wu sisters. The elder sister was also the mother of Sun Quan and gave birth to four sons, while the younger sister gave birth to only one daughter, named Sun Ren and styled Shangxiang.

Although they are half-brothers, the Sun brothers love this only little sister very much. They treat her as a treasure since they were young, and care for her when she grows up. She is called Princess Jiangdong by the people of Soochow.

Sun Quan also loved this younger sister very much. He said more than once to his young generals that whoever can marry my younger sister must be the most stalwart husband in Jiangdong.

However, last autumn, the fourth brother Sun Kuang took Shang Xiang to Jiangxia with his uncle Wu Jing for a trip, and something happened. Sun Quan blamed himself and severely punished Sun Kuang and his younger sister Shang Xiang, grounding them for two months.

"Come in!"

Sun Quan's tone was very gentle, Shang Xiang's punishment period had passed, and he loved her even more, as if he wanted to make up for the lack of love in the past two months.

A slender figure entered the room. It was Sun Shangxiang, the princess of Jiangdong. A trip last autumn brought her an unforgettable memory.

It also brought her a severe punishment of being grounded for two months, but even if her brother was not grounded, she would not go out. The few bloodstains on her face made her depressed and refused to go out to meet people.

She also hated that Liu Jing very much in her heart, and she found out later that the young officer who kidnapped her turned out to be Liu Biao's nephew, which surprised her and made her feel ashamed. How did he laugh at himself at the time.

However, as the bloodstains on her face gradually disappeared and her beautiful face was restored, her annoyance towards Liu Jing also faded a little bit. After all, she was only a 12-year-old girl. She is still innocent and innocent, and there is no room for too much hatred in her heart.

The aunt was seriously ill in the past two months, and Sun Shangxiang cried countless times. Although she was not her biological mother, the aunt loved her very much since she was a child. Every time she mischievously bullied her brother, the aunt always favored her.

Hearing that the aunt had been cured and had to prepare for her funeral, Sun Shangxiang felt even more sad, and shed tears every night.

"Is brother looking for me?" Sun Shangxiang lowered his head and asked sadly.

Sun Quan shook his sister's hand, felt her hand was cold, and saw her crying like peaches, felt pity in his heart, forced a smile and said, "You have been serving by mother's side for the past two days, and you didn't seem to be there last night. Sleep, you are still young and your body is weak, you should pay attention to rest, don't stay up late tonight, we will serve your mother!"

"Brother hasn't slept for two nights. You have to rest even more because you have to do military and government affairs during the day. I have nothing to do. If you are sleepy, just take a nap for a while. Don't worry about me, brother."

Sometimes Sun Quan was also worried about his younger sister who used knives and swords all day long, but this time his mother was seriously ill, and his younger sister showed a gentle and considerate side unique to girls. throw away.

Sometimes he also considers finding a satisfactory husband-in-law for his younger sister, but when he thinks about it, he suddenly laughs in his heart when he thinks that she has just turned 12 years old, it's still too early!In the future, I don't know who can be worthy of my sister.

At this time, Sun Quan unexpectedly found that there was still a thin bloodstain on his sister's neck, and he couldn't help frowning, "Shang Xiang, your neck..."

At that time, Liu Jing left a total of four bloodstains on Sun Shangxiang's face and neck, and now the rest have faded away, except for a little bloodstain on her neck, which made her depressed.

She didn't expect to be discovered by her brother, she was so frightened that she quickly covered her neck, "It's nothing, it will be fine in a few days."

Sun Shangxiang was afraid that her brother would be annoyed by this, and she would not be allowed to go out from now on. Although she also hated Liu Jing in her heart, she didn't want to make any further troubles at this time. She would rather bear the anger herself than her brother to mention that matter again.

Sun Quan's face became gloomy. It's not that he hated Liu Jing. Liu Jing let them go knowing they were brothers and sisters. This surprised Sun Quan, and he was even a little grateful in his heart.

He was angry at the adventure of the two brothers and sisters. Thinking of this, he wanted to blame a few words, and Sun Quan complained again: "It's nothing more than a horse. If you hurt your life because of this, how can I explain to my mother?"

Sun Shangxiang pouted, shook her brother's arm and said coquettishly: "I know, the last time was just an accident, I promise I won't make the same mistake again, so don't mention it again, brother."

Sun Quan had no choice but to sigh and say, "Forget it, we'll talk about this later. You go and stay with your mother first. I still have work to do."

Seeing that her elder brother didn't care about this matter anymore, Sun Shangxiang was happy again, and slipped out like a bird, looking at her sister's lovely back, Sun Quan smiled and shook his head, asking when will this precious sister really grow up.

Sun Quan withdrew his thoughts, and asked the guard next to him, "What's the matter?"

"Report to Marquis Wu, Zhou Hujun asks to see you!"

Sun Quan was overjoyed. He was about to send someone to find Zhou Yu, but he came by himself. "Please come in!"

Not long after, Zhou Yu came in with a high spirit. Zhou Yu was only 28 years old this year. People in Jiangdong love to call him Zhou Lang.

Sun Quan also valued Zhou Yu very much. After he succeeded his elder brother, he appointed Zhou Yu as the Central Guard Army, and he was in charge of Jiangdong's military affairs together with Chang Shi Zhang Zhao.

Zhou Yu walked into the room, knelt down and bowed to Sun Quan, "Zhou Yu pays homage to Marquis Wu!"

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down!"

Zhou Yu sat down, and a guard served tea. Sun Quan took a copy of the imperial edict from the table, and said, "A few days ago, I received the imperial edict requesting Jiangdong Sun to send his son-in-law to Xudu as a hostage. I am very happy about this matter." It's difficult, if I don't follow the order, I will bear the name of a rebellious minister, and if I follow the order to send my brother to Xudu, I'm afraid I will be controlled by others."

Zhou Yu sneered, "What kind of edict is this? It is clearly the meaning of Cao thief. Didn't Cao thief also order Liu Biao to be a proton the year before last? But Liu Biao explicitly rejected it, and no one said that Liu Biao was a rebellious minister. He is fair and comfortable, Wu Why should you obey the orders of Cao Bandit?"

Sun Quan nodded, "Justice is in the hearts of the people." This sentence is very good. In fact, Sun Quan didn't want to send his brother Xu Du as a hostage, but he couldn't make up his mind. Zhou Yu's persuasion made him make up his mind.

"The ministers are still arguing, which made me hesitate until now. Sincerely and decisively, I know what to do."

Zhou Yu laughed again and said, "Actually, I came here to discuss with Marquis Wu about marching into Jiangxia. Cao Cao concentrated on pacifying Hebei and had no time to go south. Liu Fu, governor of Yangzhou, trained troops in Huainan. He used Gu Hui to investigate the enemy's situation. Going south, it can be seen that Cao Jun's center of gravity is in Hebei.

And Xiahou Dun stationed [-] troops in Nanyang, threatened Jingxiang, and restrained Liu Biao's main force. Jiangxia only had Huang Zu's [-] troops. Why don't we take this opportunity to capture Jiangxia? "

Sun Quan sighed, "Why don't I think so, but my mother is seriously ill, and I don't dare to fight rashly, for fear of leaving a reputation of being unfilial."

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said, "I asked the sorcerer to watch the sky at night. Although Mrs. Tai is seriously ill, there is no sign of the main star falling, and I heard that Hua Tuo is accepting disciples in Guangling. Healed Mrs. Tai's illness, but the opportunity to fight is fleeting, and Wu Hou will stop when he decides to do so."

Sun Quan pondered for a long time, and then said: "Mother's illness must be cured, and the opportunity to fight must be seized. How about asking Hua Tuo to treat her first? If the mother's condition can be stabilized, regardless of whether it is cured or not, we will first capture Chaisang and save Jiangxia. What do you think of Gongjin’s foothold?”

Zhou Yu nodded, that's fine, and he immediately said: "My subordinates recommend Xu Sheng as the vanguard, prepare for the battle against Peng Ze, and attack Chaisang at any time!"
