Chapter 022 The Death of Sun En

Although moving into the general's mansion makes the family's life more comfortable, the only shortcoming is that the family has broken off contact with outsiders since then. This government is not the only benefit brought by the addition of officials to the title, and another advantage is that the salary has been greatly improved. Not only is there no problem maintaining the family, but I also distributed part of the salary to the families of the soldiers who sacrificed in Wu County, Juzhang, Haiyan and other places.

These things were initially left to Liu Daogui to do. But later, Daogui felt that these things were cumbersome and annoying, so I entrusted them to Yu Qiujin.

Although it is early spring, there is still a cold wind blowing in Jingkou. There is no one outside the barracks except the soldiers on patrol. Although it was a little hot, the wind still felt cold when it poured into my clothes, and I tightened my neckline with my hand. As soon as he entered the barracks, he met Xu Xianzhi, who joined the army head-on.

Like me, Xu Xianzhi is also an old general of Beifu. I didn't know him very well when I was the last Sima. After being transferred to Liu Lao's army, he and I joined the army and gradually became familiar with each other. Like me, he usually doesn't talk much. However, unlike me, he often talks amazingly when everyone is speechless.

Xu Xianzhi met me and told me after greeting, "General Deyu, I'm happy today."

"Oh? What's the joy today?"

"Sun En is dead!" He said.

"What? Is Sun En dead? When did he die? Death in battle?" This news is indeed great news for me, but there are some surprises.

In the past two years, the serious problem of the State of Jin has not been the Hufu in the north, but this thief from within the Jin Dynasty. Originally, I thought that after Huan Xuan Bingzheng, he had no time to take care of the thieves in the sea because he had to deal with internal opposition forces, which could give Sun En a good opportunity. Unexpectedly, Sun En died at this time, and the hidden dangers of the empire were so easily eliminated.

Although as Sun En's old enemy, I feel very happy. However, there is also a hint of worry. This hidden worry is: Who else can counterbalance Huan Xuan?

"General, go to the Central Army to listen to the war report of General Fujun." Xu Xianzhi said this, and then some joy appeared on his face.

When Xu Xianzhi and I arrived at the Chinese military mansion together, many people had gathered in the house, and everyone looked very good. Obviously, they all heard the news of Sun En's death.

"Deyu and Zongwen came just right. Sit down quickly." Huan Xiu and other bodyguards made tea for the two of us and then continued, "I have just read the war report to everyone. Deyu, you look at the war report first." After saying that, he handed me the war report.

When I read the war report, Huan Xiu explained to me: "According to the news from the court, Sun En fled into the sea after being defeated. He was panicked all day long and soon threw himself into the sea.

"When is this news?"

"Sun En's suicide should have been a few months ago. There have been some rumors in the dynasty before, but they have not been confirmed. This was confirmed a few days ago. The thief had blocked the news before, but the thief finally released the news. At the same time, Lu Xun, the leader of the thief, also gave it to the emperor. Have you ever seen Lu Xun?

"Hmm. I have seen it several times on the battlefield. He is the general of Sun En and the brother-in-law of Sun En. I answered.

"Indeed. The rest of Sun En is currently under the control of Lu Xun. Lu Xun said that he had a desire to obey, but because of Sun En's brutality, he had no choice but to follow it. Now please lower the above table, and only ask for one condition, that is, you must manage it by yourself, and ask the court to do not interfere.

"It's just a delaying plan." I blurted out.

I regret saying this. During this period, I have been keeping a low profile, hoping to leave Huan Xuan and Huan Xiu with the image of ordinary generals who only know how to fight and invite war and enjoy the joy of family with their salaries. The agility should only be shown in war, not in politics.

"Deyu's opinions are really sharp. For Lu Xun, it is naturally a plan to delay the army; for us, it is not a plan to delay the army. The Prime Minister also knew that Lu Xun was just borrowing a place to nourish his energy. The court has decided to agree to his request and appoint him as Yongjia Taishou. On the one hand, he hopes to use his official position to serve the head of the thief; on the other hand, the country is unfortunately in the middle of the decline and is really unwilling to fight again. The Prime Minister is a man of good virtue, and he tries his best to avoid war. The Prime Minister is indeed well-intentioned.

Huan Xiu's words were magnificent. Originally, it was a helpless move to weigh the pros and cons, but after he said it, Huan Xuanping won the reputation of good virtue. No wonder Huan Xiu can be reused among Huan Xuan's many relatives.

General Chengzu's words are reasonable. I'm ashamed of myself." I didn't miss the opportunity to send a flattery.

"No, I'm just repeating the will of the court." He took a sip of tea and said, "However, do you know what Sun En said before he died?"

"Oh? What did he say?

"If you are kind, how can you be rich?" Huan Xiu looked at me with a smile.

"What does this mean?" Although I know this meaning very well, I still deliberately asked.

"With the birth of Sun En, why did God give birth to wealth again? This 'Yu' does not refer to others, but Liu Yu and Liu Deyu. Haha." Huan Xiu laughed loudly.

"It's really embarrassing for me. Sun En was only the merit of General Xie Yan and Liu prison. At that time, I, Liu Yu, was a young general and was listed as the governor and lieutenant under the account to drive him. Sun En said this, just laughing words. Although I say so, I feel very uncomfortable.

Although it is quite self-righteous to be evaluated by a dying person, isn't it a bad thing if Huan Xuan and Huan Xiu are wary or suspicious of me?

"You are good at keeping a low profile." Huan Xiu actually said this in front of everyone.

When I heard Huan Xiu break my current thoughts, I was shocked and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Huan Xiu said with a smile, "The Prime Minister is now also keeping a low profile. The north of Jin has always been a big trouble in the eyes of the Prime Minister. He has made several statements for the Northern Expedition, and is often suppressed by the court. After all, the emperor is wise and knows that although my soldiers are good, they will be bad. Nowadays, there are only a few people who can be as talented as Deyu. In the battle of Dantu, there are hundreds of enemies and thieves. If the emperor is unfaithful, the emperor will suffer from the dust.

In wartime, he is a brave tiger general; usually, he is a gentle general. Those who know how to hide their obscurity are ministers and generals!"

When I heard Huan Xiu explain "keeping a low profile" in this way, I hurriedly said, "It's really a broken me. The prime minister ruled the three prefectures of Jing, Guangzhou and Jiang, and ruled the three prefectures in a few years. The advisers and generals under his command gathered. Yin and Yang were defeated in the first battle, and Yuan appeared in the battle again, and they collapsed firmly. The so-called literary and martial arts and world-class merit, isn't this the prime minister? How can I be compared with other generals of Jin, such as Prime Minister Liu Yucheng, General Chengzu and General Sun Wuzhong?

"Haha. Deyu doesn't need to be too modest. It seems that Huan Xiu is really in a good mood, instead of showing it to me. "Let's not mention this for the time being. Let's discuss it."
