Chapter 5 The Bridge
A celebration banquet broke up unhappily.
Sun Quan was so violent that he roared loudly in the face of Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin and others who came to hear the news. Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong frowned and sat aside without saying anything. Zhuge Jin hugged Sun Quan's waist desperately, and Teng Dan advised him. While trying to get rid of Zhuge Jin and Teng Dan, Sun Quan shouted loudly, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gu, this is a waste of my efforts. Did you do this? Do you have it? He still reads the scriptures. What kind of bullshit did he read? Did he read it all in the dog's stomach?
Gu Yong frowned. Just as he was about to get up and persuade him, Zhang Zhao had already sank his face and stood up from the table. He stood in front of Sun Quan, arched his hand and said straightly, "Supreme, forgive the old minister. The old minister thought that the fault was not in Sun Shao, but in Ganning.
Sun Quan was stunned, and then looked at Zhang Zhao angrily and sneered: "Is Mr. Zhang defending his disciples?"
Zhang Zhaohua's white eyebrows trembled and said, "In spring and autumn, there is a cloud, the king humiliates the minister to death, the father and son revenge, Gan Ning is presumptuous after drinking, rude to the rebellious general, Sun Shao as a son of man, should be like this. If he doesn't dare to stand up, he will read the scriptures into the dog's stomach.
"You..." Sun Quan choked. He glared at Zhang Zhao, but couldn't find the right words to refute. Today's mistake was indeed Gan Ning. It was natural for Sun Shao to rise up and fight back, but he was angry that Sun Shao did not give him face in front of everyone. He didn't listen to him and directly pushed him back. This matter was unacceptable to him. What Zhang Zhao said was reasonable, but now Zhang Zhao's attitude is worse than Sun Shao's, which makes him even more angry. No matter how reasonable it is, he can't listen to it. He turned around angrily and gave Zhang Zhao a back and a hand clenched tightly because of anger.
Zhang Zhao was also angry and strode to Sun Quan. He shook his beard and said again. Teng Dan hurried up and bowed: "Zhang Gong is angry, Zhang Gong is angry." Zhang Zhao ignored him at all. He stretched out his hand and pushed him away. He stared at Sun Quan and said loudly, "The old minister thought that Sun Shao not only did a good job, but also knew a lot. Gan Ning humiliated his father as a son. If Sun Shao doesn't take into account the overall situation, he should challenge him directly.
Sun Quan rolled his eyes angrily. This dead old man, a talkative old minister, really regarded himself as Zhong's father? He snorted discontentedly, gave a look to Teng Dan and Zhuge Jin, and motioned them to drag Zhang Zhao out, otherwise he couldn't help rushing at Zhang Zhao. Teng Dan did not dare to neglect, and Zhuge Jin dragged Zhang Zhao out together. Although Zhang Zhao was angry, his physical strength was not the opponent of the two people after all. He was pulled out of the tent. He was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left without looking back.
"This..." Sun Quan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed to Gu Yong outside the account and said, "Gu Gong, this... This is really the same for teachers and students." Gu Yong stroked his beard and was about to speak when a sudden scream sounded outside the tent. Then, the tent door was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in. Sun Quan was furious and was about to scold the reckless man who entered scorn. He fixed his eyes and swallowed the words that surged into his mouth again, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help **.
Sun Shangxiang was even more popular than Sun Quan. She waved the ring knife in her hand and roared: "Is it Gan Ning's husband's humiliation to the eldest brother?"
Sun Quan secretly complained. What's going on today? What a good thing it was to win the battle. It caused so many disasters because of Gan Ning's words. As soon as I saw the girl like this, I knew that Sun Shao must have caused trouble when he went back. A Sun Shao is troublesome enough. Now with such a sister, alas, it's a big deal today.
"Is that true?" Sun Shangxiang's eyes almost spewed fire, and she turned her head and walked out: "This man has eaten the bear heart and leopard's courage. The last time he bullied Sun Hao, he didn't settle accounts with him, but now he actually bullied A Man again. I'm going to cut him down now."
"Oh, stop her." Sun Quan stamped his feet, rushed out of the tent, and shouted at the stunned officials. Zhou Xun first reacted and stopped in front of Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang pointed with a long knife and shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! Otherwise, I'll cut you first."
Speaking, Sun Quan has arrived. He grabbed the sword in Sun Shangxiang's hand and roared with a red face, "Are you crazy? It's okay if you don't give advice first. What else do you want to add?
Sun Shangxiang was furious and pointed to Sun Quan's nose and scolded, "Are you still talking about me? You, the lord of Jiangdong, have done a good job. Your eldest brother was humiliated face to face. You, the lord of Jiangdong, didn't say a word. On the other hand, you blamed Aman for disobedient? Ah, do you want him to humiliate his father? Can you still be so happy?
Sun Quan is inexplicable. When will I be happy? He looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was like a shrew, and felt that he had nothing to say to her. He directly ordered someone to forcibly take her back to the account. Sun Shang's fragrance was so fragrant that he scolded, and the scolding echoed in the camp for a long time.
"This matter..." Sun Quan shook his head and sat in front of the desk with great depression. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. A punch of "the canopy" hit the desk. The mountain of official documents on the desk shook twice, fell down and scattered everywhere.
"Supreme, why is this? It's just a joke. Why... Why is it like this? Zhuge Jin rushed back again and persuaded him repeatedly. He has just become in-laws with Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Cheng has just been reused. He doesn't want to watch Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan turn against him.
"Is this a lonely fault?" Sun Quan raised his head and stared at Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin choked, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to say anything. Sun Quan was unconvinced and looked at Teng Dan again. Teng Dan was also very embarrassed. Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong again: "Gu Gong, is this the fault of loneliness?"
"Yes." Gu Yong's face was calm, nodded, and said in an aggravated tone, "It's the supreme fault."
"What?" Sun Quan just calmed down and suddenly became furry again.
Gu Yong was not moved, and he was still so unshocked: "Gan Ning's meritorious service should be rewarded, it should be celebrated, but he should not drink excessively. This is one. Gan Ning humiliated and rebel against the general. Sun Shao responded angrily. It was also reasonable that he did not challenge Gan Ning, but wanted to cross the river to Cao Camp. In terms of his surname, it was already valuable. At this time, the Supreme should not favor Gan Ning, blame Sun Shao, and intensify the contradiction. This is the second."
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes. He heard Gu Yong's dissatisfaction, but he didn't want to explain it. At present, there is a big war. What can we do if we don't favor these generals? Gan Ning just returned from the camp at the risk of death, which boosted the morale of Zhang Liao. Did he blame him for a word of error at this time? It was like a mirror in his heart. Gu Yong said so, which seemed to justify Sun Shao, but in fact, he took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction. These scholars would never look at a martial artist like Gan Ning.
It's really difficult, the Lord of Jiangdong, the Lord of Jiangdong, who would have thought that he, the Lord of Jiangdong, was so cowardly. He doesn't want to say a word and do it, but he has to have enough strength. Compared with the time when he just took over, although the situation in Jiangdong has changed a lot in recent years, it is still far away from a word. The outside must be safe first. Now Cao's army is fierce. What else can he fight if he doesn't rely on these generals? Can you rely on your scholars to fight back Cao? I'm afraid that the only thing you can take out is to surrender the book.
Sun Quan was very aggrieved, with a gloomy look and mixed feelings in his heart.
"Supreme, the matter now is not the question of who is right and who is wrong. How to appease Sun Shao is the most important thing." Seeing that Gu Yong was about to collapse with Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin quickly rounded up the scene. Sun Quan shook his head with a wry smile and was silent for a moment before asking, "How is he?"
"He is still clamoring to challenge in the tent. He scolded... all the generals." Zhuge Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, he really has the courage."
Sun Quan sneered at it. With fart's courage, he was just dizzy. He thought that fighting was a private fight. There was nothing but a one-on-one fight.
"Supreme, why don't you let him go?" Teng Dan, who had been silent, suddenly said.
"What?" Sun Quan looked at Teng Dan in surprise, and then shook his head repeatedly: "No, no. My brother only has this kind of bone and blood. How can he send it to Cao for nothing? I can't do it, I can't do it."
"If you don't let him go, how can you calm him down?" Teng Dan's eyes flashed and looked surprisingly calm.
Sun Quan pinched his eyebrows and scratched his head very much. He knew Sun Shao's temper. If he didn't let him go to Cao Ying, he would definitely go to Gan Ning's trouble again, but let him go to Cao Ying. How could he go to see his dead brother in the future?
"Please come, Mrs. Qiao." Gu Yong suddenly said, "Sun Shao is filial, and he will definitely listen to Mrs. Qiao's words."
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, thought for a moment, and nodded gently: "That's the only way. Ziyu, you can go there in person immediately.
"Oh." Zhuge Jin bowed down and obeyed his orders.
"Are you really going to Cao Ying?" Guan Feng got into the quilt, put her arms around Sun Shao's neck, and asked softly.
Sun Shao's voice was a little hoarse. The roar just now almost broke his voice. But now he is not excited at all. On the contrary, he looks very calm. He glanced at Guan Feng, stretched out his arm and put her in his arms. He thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
"Why?"
"Do you think Cao Ying is dangerous?" Sun Shao smiled disdainfully: "In my opinion, this camp is more dangerous."
"You made a scene and just want to get out of here?" Guan Feng realized something.
"It's not just that." Sun Shao turned over half of his body, hugged Guan Feng face to face, and pressed her tightly against his chest. The plump and strong breasts were flattened, and the two hard protrusions suddenly changed. Guan Feng turned her head shyly to prevent Sun Shao from seeing her blushing face. Sun Shao smiled, put his mouth on Guan Feng's jade-like ears, and said in an inaudible voice, "I'm going to Cao Camp to see what Cao Gong looks like, and see if I can also need a license to let me not pay taxes when I go to the Central Plains to do business."
Guan Feng was itchy by him, but she didn't say anything. She felt that Sun Shao didn't tell the truth. This reason was not a reason at all.
Sun Shao felt Guan Feng's suspicion, but he did not intend to explain. There were too many explanations, and Guan Feng could not believe it. After all, the fewer people knew his thoughts, the better.
"If you encourage your aunt to make trouble, it will be a big deal." Guan Feng was silent for a moment and opened the topic.
"Since it's a big deal, just make a big deal." Sun Shao didn't think so. He put his face on Guan Feng's neck and sniffed it. He said pleasantly, "He was afraid that I would make friends with the generals. I would simply scold them in front of him to reassure him, so that he would not always be suspicious."
"It's too much." Guan Feng sighed gently, pulled the subject up, and closed her eyes. Sun Shao thought she was asleep. Unexpectedly, after a while, she suddenly said, "If you really want to challenge Cao Camp, ride the red rabbit sent by your father. Zhang Liao has a lot of Bingzhou cavalry, which are not so easy to deal with. The red rabbit horse is fast and energetic, and can have an advantage.
Guan Yu has a red rabbit horse, which is a very rare good horse. It is a pure pedigree of the Western Regions Tianma. It used to be the mount of Wenhou Lv Bu. When he followed Cao Yan in Xiaopei to break Lv Bu, he once asked Cao Yan for Mrs. Du. Cao Yan had already promised him, but later Cao Yan took a good look at Mrs. Du and broke his promise. He was a little embarrassed, so he rewarded Lv Bu's red rabbit horse to Guan Yu as compensation. This red rabbit horse is old, but it has left offspring. When Guan Feng got married, Guan Yu gave her the best one.
"Hmm." Sun Shao answered vaguely, and I don't know if he heard it. Guan Feng waited for a moment and was about to ask him, but Sun Shao smiled and said, "My father-in-law gave me a horse with Tianma blood. I must send him a pure Tianma in the future."
"What you say counts." Guan Feng joked with a smile.
"For sure." Sun Shao rubbed Guan Feng's neck and said with a bad smile, "Madam, are you going to thank me first?"
"Dock." I don't know what Sun Shao did. Guan Feng suddenly twisted her body and her little face suddenly turned red.
The next day, Cao Qian, who was ashamed and angry, ordered a fierce attack. The army was full of offensive and embarrassed the Jiangdong army left in Jiangbei. Sun Quan received the report and did not dare to neglect it. He ordered Lv Meng and Jiang Qin, who were in charge of command, to lead the generals to fight back with all their strength. The plain field battle of Jiangdong Army was not the opponent of Cao's army. They fought and retreated. Almost all the main force gave up the Jiangbei defense line and retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. The focus of the battlefield began to focus on the struggle for Ruxuwu in Jiangxiunzhou.
Ruxuwu is a city built in the 17th year of Jian'an. Originally, there was no city on Jiangxinzhou. It was just an open space, and the place was not big. It could only be used for warships to stop for a while and could not be used as a defensive position. In the 17th year of Jian'an, Lv Mengli suppressed the public discussion and proposed to build a fortification on Jiangxiunzhou to guard this strategic place. Sun Quan agreed. Because it is also the water entering the mouth of the river, it is also known as Ruxuwu. When Cao Qian attacked Wu in the 18th year of Jian'an, there was a war in Ruxuwu. This newly built dock wall played an unexpected role, like an iron lock, locking the Yangtze River ferry, making Cao Qian return in vain. Ruxuwu has become a strategic point on the defense line of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Sun Quan tasted the sweetness. This time, he took Ruxuwu as the focus of defense. He sent Lv Meng to sit in Ruxuwu in person and placed 10,000 strong crossbows on it, so that Cao Jun's plate could not cross the river.
The two sides fought in Ruxuwu for a long time. Cao lost more than 3,000 people, but he didn't even touch the side of Ruxuwu. One day after the war, the river was almost dyed red. The bodies of the broken warships and soldiers could be seen everywhere. Although the south bank of the Yangtze River was much calmer, everyone was relieved when the drums stopped for a day.
As night fell, Sun Quan, who had been watching the battle for a day, dragged his tired body back to the big tent. He was ready to sleep comfortably and have a good rest. Unexpectedly, he encountered the cold bridge head-on.
Sun Quan was surprised and happy. The bridge never took the initiative to see him. He deliberately sent Sun Shao to Chengdu for a few months and rewarded countless items. The bridge did not come to thank him. In the end, he rarely saw him once by notifying Sun Shao about his marriage.
"sister-in-law..."
As soon as Sun Quan's words came out, the bridge interrupted him coldly: "I'm not your sister-in-law, and you're not the younger brother of the general."
Sun Quan immediately made a big red face and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in embarrassment. Gu Li, who was close to him, immediately drove away all the people next to him, and he also retreated to one side. In a moment, there was an empty step in front of the big tent.
The eyes of the bridge suddenly turned red, which made Sun Quan's heart ached. Without Sun Quan understand, she fell to her knees, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and let the green silk on her head pour down and spread it on the ground. She couldn't stand up. She kept kowtowing and crying in a loud voice, as if she was crazy, and she was very different from the same time. Sun Quan was stunned and couldn't believe that everything he saw was true for a moment. This is not the dignified and cold bridge. It was clearly a female tiger protecting the calf. Sun Quan was even a little worried that the bridge would jump up and bite him, and involuntarily stepped back two steps.
The bridge couldn't help but feel Sun Quan's surprise and fear. As she cried, she said, "The Supreme wants to kill Ah Man, but I dare not stop him. I only ask the Supreme to benefactor and let my concubine die first. Under the nine springs, I told my husband and asked him for the crime of lax discipline..."
Sun Quan was shocked and hesitated for a moment before he came back. These words could not be said in front of outsiders. He hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said with some pleading, "Sister-in-law, where did this come from? How can I kill Ah Man? I was afraid that he would have an accident, so I sent someone to invite my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, it's inconvenient to talk here. Please put it in the account.
The bridge ignored him at all. He raised his tearful face and scolded in his voice, "You don't want to kill him. Can't he find death by himself? Gan Ning has been fighting for many years, and he has to take more than 100 warriors to dare to attack, but you let him go to Cao's camp alone to challenge. Don't you want to kill him? Is it a credit for him? Cao Jian kills people like hemp, and the brave generals in Cao's army are like clouds. Which one is not a tough general who has been fighting for many years? You let a new adult child challenge. How can you stand it..."
The bridge cried and scolded. Her voice was vague, but full of anger and heartache. With tears on her face and blood and dirt on her forehead, it made people look distressed. In the past, he was going to fight... What did you say about loving him... His surname was life, life... He was stuffed at home and almost pissed off. Now he has finally changed his surname and doesn't want to be an official. You have to ask him to go to Jianye to be a bullshit official. He is bullied and looked at people's eyes, and now he is deliberately insulted by others face to face. Father, if you want to force him to die in Cao Camp, you... You are a good uncle... Husband, you can take a look at the spirit of heaven. This is your brother you admire the most..."
Sun Quan was scolded by her, and his face turned red and white, which was very embarrassing. What the bridge said was indeed his real thoughts, like suppressing Sun Shao in the past and not letting him lead troops. Later, in order to monitor nearby, he brought Sun Shao from Wu County to Jianye, and now he has been brought to him. In the camp, these are all true. There is no injustice against him. However, God is pitiful. It's really not that he is going to take Sun Shao to Cao Camp to challenge this time. That's... That's really a misunderstanding.
Sun Quan felt very wronged, but she didn't know where to defend it. The bridge that cried to death did not give him a chance to defend at all. She lay on the ground, patted her hands on the ground, and grabbed a handful of mud in both hands. Sun Quan deliberately asked Sun Shao to die. One by one, Sun Quan only cared about his position and insisted on Sun Ce's only flesh and blood forced him to go to the dead end. He said that Sun Quan was violent, but he couldn't attack again. For another woman, he had ordered her to be dragged out, and it was possible to cut her with a knife. However, in the face of the figure that has lingered in his heart for more than ten years, and the bridge that has always been gentle as jade for more than ten years, but today he can't give this order anyway. He can only be angry and can't wait to drag a person over to let him cut twice to relieve the depression in his chest.
Fortunately, Mrs. Bu and Guan Feng rushed over when they heard the news and pulled away the bridge. Sun Quan was relieved, but the sullen in his heart was still depressed. He called Zhou Xun, who was expressionless, and asked with a gloomy face, "Where is the first?"
"I heard that it's in the heavy camp."
"What are you doing in the heavy camp?"
"With a saddle." Zhou Xun's face was a little strange. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that he really intends to cross the river to Cao's camp to challenge. He not only prepared war horses and armor, but also pulled Gan Yu."
"Gan Yu?" Sun Quan was even more annoyed. This matter was caused by Gan Ning. I haven't finished my business yet. Why did this son join in the fun? Sun Quan looked around and didn't see the shadow of Gan Yu. Then he remembered that he was not worth it today: "What's wrong with him?"
"Sun Shao went to find him. I don't know why, so he moved him and wanted to go to Cao Camp with Sun Shao to challenge Zhang Liao."
"Nonsense!" Sun Quan's face was pale, and his hands trembled with anger: "Go, call me these two verticals."
Gan Yu came soon and bowed his head without saying a word, but it could be seen from his tightly clenched lips that it was not so easy for him to change his mind. Without saying anything, Sun Quan asked someone to come to Gan Ning and ask him to take his son back to discipline him. It didn't take long. The person who went there came back and said that General Gan said that if Sun Shao really dared to go to the Cao army camp in Jiangbei to challenge, Gan Yu would accompany him and ask him not to lose my face. He had the courage to rebel against the general's son, and his son of Gan Ning was not a bastard.
Sun Quan heard that something was wrong. He stepped in front of Gan Yu in two steps, shook his hand and slapped him in the face, and scolded: "Zu Zi, what's going on? Come on? Otherwise, don't go to Cao Camp. I'll kill you now.
Gan Yu was red and red. He stabbled for a long time, but he didn't say a word. Finally, he was forced to be anxious. He roared regardless: "If the Supreme does not allow me to cross the river, please ask the Supreme to give me a death. Gan Yu will never frown. Gan Yu would rather die under the supreme knife than weaken his father's momentum and be laughed at.
