Chapter 97 Breaking

Guan Ping and Sun Huan rushed back to Wancheng at the same time. The news they brought back was not consistent, but after careful thinking about it, the gap was not big. Guan Ping said to Guan Yu that the lord had the intention to rescue, but the military division hindered it. He did not allow the lord to send troops to rescue on the grounds that Sun Quan's garrisoned in Chai Sang intended to infect Yizhou. Sun Huan's news is better, saying that Sun Quan and Liu Bei are negotiating to join the army. Once the two sides are right, they will send troops.

However, it has not been settled yet. Liu Bei is still in Jiangling and Sun Quan is still in Chaisang.

Guan Yu was furious and hated Zhuge Liang. He has always disliked scholars. Zhuge Liang is one of the few scholars who can make him not disgusted, but now Zhuge Liang has deceived him, and at the most critical moment, he has stabbed him in the back.

If Guan Yu was more or less suspicious of Sun Shao's words at the beginning, now he has determined that Zhuge Liang is the most insidious guy, and what Sun Shao said is far from the truth, which makes him angry.

"Go and ask Feng Xian if there is any way to let Sun Quan leave Chai Sang." Guan Yuqiang pressed his anger, and his original red face had turned blue. Guan Feng did not dare to neglect, so she hurried back to the house to find Sun Shao. Sun Shao is playing chess with Cao Ren as usual. Cao Ren plays chess like a soldier, which is easy to use dangerous moves. Once he seizes the opportunity, he will chase and fight fiercely. When he encounters an opponent who is even a little higher than him, he may break the strong with weakness, but when he meets the strong, he may be able to win, but he may also be defeated.

Sun Shao's chess skills are not much different from his, so the victory or defeat are about the same. Today, he seized an opportunity to lead Cao Ren into the ambush circle and killed Cao Ren to throw away his armor. His old face was a little unable to hang up. He pinched the last horse in his hand but had no place to put it. However, he refused to admit defeat. He was still meditating freely, hoping to find Sun Shao. The flaw turned into a victory. That concentration is not the demeanor of a famous general who once galloped on the battlefield, which is no different from an old man playing chess on the street. Niu Jin and Cao Tai looked behind his back and were anxious for him, but their chess skills were more stinky and could not help at all.

Sun Shao was very relaxed. He hugged his legs and looked at Cao Ren's unyielding appearance. He had a calm smile on his face and heard Guan Feng's footsteps. He turned his head and glanced at Guan Feng. He saw some clues from her locked eyebrows, but he nodded peacefully and motioned her to wait in the room first. Guan Feng was very anxious, but she did not dare to disturb Sun Shao to play chess, so she had to wait with her surname.

Cao Ren finally failed to pull it back, so he had to watch Sun Shao pull out the horse out of his hand and then kill him. He stared at Sun Shao for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Jizi, your chess is as insidious as yours. You hide needles in Mianli, and you design traps specially for my chess path, right?"

Sun Shao laughed while playing with the chess pieces and said, "General, you are not kind, are you? You have won so many games for me, why don't you allow me to win once? Besides, playing chess is like playing against each other. Don't you study your opponent's tactics when you fight?

Cao Ren nodded. While collecting the chess pieces, he glanced at Guan Feng, who was waiting next to him. He said with words, "Of course, we should study the opponent's tactics. However, I am just a general, just leading troops to war. In the early years, I rode under Cao Gong's command and fought with the Hu people a lot. I like to go straight, not so many twists and turns. It's really a little uncomfortable to meet an opponent like you. He paused and rubbed the last piece in his hand for a long time: "You waited outside Fancheng for more than ten days, and finally broke through Fancheng in just an hour. Now you have been in Wancheng for a few months. Is it time to attack?"

Sun Shao picked up his eyelids, stared at Cao Ren and smiled, "The general can't wait?"

Cao Ren didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed that he had indeed waited too long. Sun Shao's eyes turned: "General, don't worry, you can get together with Mr. Cao in a month at most."

Cao Ren was silent for a moment, nodded, and got up to leave.

Guan Feng listened to Sun Shao's last words in her ear, and her nervous mood suddenly went away. At the same time, she was a little more curious. As soon as Cao Ren went out, she came over and said, "Husband, do you have a way?"

Sun Shao tilted the corners of his mouth and did not answer her. He asked, "Is my father-in-law anxious?"

Guan Feng looked gloomy, nodded, said the news that Guan Ping and Sun Huan brought back, and finally looked at Sun Shao nervously: "Do you have a way to make the supreme leave Chai Sang?"

Sun Shao smiled and said, "Do you really think that if he leaves Chai Sang, Liu Bei can send troops?"

Guan Feng wanted to speak but stopped. Guan Ping said so. Guan Yu thought so. Are they all wrong?

"Don't worry, even if we don't do anything, they will rise up." Sun Shao stood up slowly and fiddled with his clothes: "They won't let Cao Yan eat us, and then force Jiangling again."

"Then they will come?" Guan Feng showed a happy look.

"Of course I will come." Seeing Guan Feng looking overjoyed, Sun Shao added, "However, even if they arrive, they will not come to save us. They will come back after our fiasco."

A few months ago, Guan Feng must not believe what Sun Shao said. Like Guan Yu, she would say that Sun Shao thought people's hearts were too bad, but after a few months of waiting, they knew that although what Sun Shao said was cruel, it was true.

"What should we do?" The smile on Guan Feng's face disappeared, and the corners of her mouth drooped again, listless.

"What's your hurry?" Sun Shao took Guan Feng's hand, walked slowly along the corridor, through the long sandwich, and came to the fish pond in the backyard. He stood in the shade and looked at the small fish swimming freely in the pool. The smile on his face became more and more incomprehensible.

"Everyone wants to go fishing, but they all forget one thing. Wancheng is not a fish pond, and we are not the fish in the pool." Sun Shao said to himself, "How can we know who caught whom until the end? Fishing is not only less attractive than bait, but also more patient. Do they have a bigger bait in their hands than me? Can they be more patient with me?"

"Husband, don't you... worry?" Guan Feng couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw that Sun Shao was not worried at all.

"What am I worried about?" Sun Shao asked. He turned his head to look at Guan Feng and suddenly joked: "Don't you know that Cao Gong is going to marry me now? I'm not desperate. There's no need to worry.

Guan Feng's face stiffened and her lips were a little white. She bit her lower lip and endured it for a long time. Finally, she sighed and said, "I'm too worried. Cao Gong has always been green-eyed towards her husband. Of course, he won't force her husband to death." She said calmly, but her heart was sour. Although she had known for a long time that Cao Gan was going to marry Sun Shao, now that Sun Shao said it, she still felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that the treasure that once belonged to her was suddenly wanted to be shared.

"Madam..."

"Don't talk about it." Guan Fengqiang suppressed her sadness and turned around. She didn't want Sun Shao to see the tears in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the choking in her tone: "I knew for a long time that there was a day when my husband was such a person, can't Guan Feng monopolize it?"

Sun Shao was originally a joke with her, but when he saw her like this, he couldn't bear to say it. Thinking about Zhou Yu, he had no way to tell her. In line with the turtle idea that procrastinating day by day, he was going to go back to Jianye and mention it again, but now he has aroused his mind because of a joke, which really makes him think a little. No. He wanted to comfort Guan Feng, but he felt ashamed. Even without the marriage of the Cao family, he was not ready to take Zhou Yu as his concubine. He even thought that he could not let Zhou Yu be too wronged and let Zhou Yu be a flat wife, but wouldn't that hurt Guan Feng more?

It's really annoying.

Sun Shao scratched his head a little. He didn't know how to comfort Guan Feng, so he had to stand, and the atmosphere became very awkward for a while.

In the end, Guan Feng recovered first. Her eyes were red and she smiled unnaturally, "It's my concubine who has lost her mind."

Sun Shao scratched his chin and said nothing with a wry smile. If this kind of cheating thing were in the previous life, she would be Chen Shimei. If she was not pointed out by thousands of people, she would be lucky. How could the bitter master apologize first? But at this moment, he couldn't say anything to apologize, so he could only talk to him: "What's your father-in-law's plan now?"

"The father said that the lord could not go north because he was worried about the supreme. He hoped that the husband could find a way to transfer the supreme away from Chai Sang." Speaking of business, Guan Feng raised her sleeves and wiped her tears. She gradually regained her composure, but her eyes were red, and her original rosy cheeks were no more bloodless, which looked distressing. Sun Shao looked at it in his eyes, as if he had been pulled in his heart, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help **. After a while, he said, "I can transfer the supreme from Chai Sang, but even if Liu Bei goes north, he may not really come to relieve the siege. It's better for my father-in-law not to be wishful thinking."

Guan Feng lowered her head and sniffed: "Husband, don't worry, my father will not object to your marriage with Cao Gong."

Sun Shao frowned and stopped talking, but answered vaguely. At this time, it is useless to explain anything to Guan Feng. Besides, this matter is a little guilty to him, but it may not be his fault in the eyes of others. Even in Guan Feng's eyes, she will probably think that she has lost her own morality and will never blame him for being disappointed. If he explains too much, it will increase her uneasiness.

"You tell your father-in-law that Sun Quan will leave Chai Sang soon, but please ask him not to put all his hope on Liu Bei. Even if he has the intention to relieve the siege, he may not be able to make the decision on some things."

Guan Feng nodded. She also knew the role of Zhuge Liang around Liu Bei. Of course, what she didn't know was that although Zhuge Liang played a certain negative role, it was far from as serious as their father and daughter thought. All of this was preconceived after listening to Sun Shao's words.

Guan Yu received a reward from Guan Feng, and his eyes flashed for a long time without saying anything. Sun Shao's words are very sure, but Guan Yu can't figure out where his grasp comes from. Will Sun Quan listen to Sun Shao's orders? However, in the past few months, the situation has been developing according to Sun Shao's estimation, and Guan Yu is so arrogant that he dares not despise Sun Shao's opinion. If Liu Bei really can't come to relieve the siege, this city will have to rely on Sun Shao's mediation to get trapped. In the end, he will be successful or discredited, and all hope is on Sun Shao.

"Let's look at it." Guan Yu finally spit out three words.

... Chaohu, the Zhendan water division camp, the general of the building ship, Su's thick legs looked at Zhao Xiu, who was standing with a knife, and Yu Fan, who was drooping his eyelids, and looked very embarrassed. Sun Quan appointed him as the general of the building ship. He did not inform Sun Shao about this matter, but he knew that Sun Shao must know, but Sun Shao had never sent anyone to ask. There seemed to be a wall between them, which gradually made him a little breathless. Although no one said anything in front of him, Yu Fan and others, who were familiar with him, inadvertently did not come to his big account, which made him feel the uneasiness brought by suspicion.

He is very ashamed.

He can have today, which is the consequence of Sun Shao's plan. If Sun Shao hadn't given him a ship of ordnance at the beginning, he would not have become the strongest pirate in the East China Sea. Without the assistance of Zhao Xiu and others in front of him, he would not have the courage to attack the Houguan Shipyard, and of course, there would not have been the general of the building ship today. Although Sun Shao also took advantage of him in this matter, in general, Sun Shao gave him more than he took away from him.

But he was blinded by a building ship general and Tangyi Tinghou, and betrayed Sun Shao. This is a very heavy psychological burden for Su's thick legs, who have always been self-deportant. The cold silence of Yu Fan and others reminded him of his despiciness all the time, and the vague complaints of his men also made him feel uncomfortable. The reason why the most trusted guard Heiyu was arranged by him to be a hundred general was that he did not dare to face the black face of the black fish every day.

He never thought that Sun Shao would send Zhao Xiu to come from Wancheng. Looking at Zhao Xiu, he really wanted to ask about Wancheng, but when he came to his mouth, he felt as if he was not qualified to ask.

"The situation in Wancheng is very critical." Zhao Xiu seemed to see through his mind and smiled faintly: "However, the general is not worried."

Su's thick legs answered unnaturally, "Really?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiu smiled and said, "However, General Guan is very worried. In the past few months, he has a lot of gray hair."

"General Guan?" Su's thick legs shook his hands and subconsciously raised his head: "What's wrong with him?"

"General Guan rushed thousands of miles, broke through Xu County, and welcomed the emperor back to Wancheng. However, the back road was intercepted by Xiahou Dun. Cao Qian led the army to arrive again. He has been trapped in Wancheng for more than three months. Seeing that he was about to run out of food, Liu Bei did not dare to go north to rescue because of the supreme garrison Chaisang. Zhao Xiu roughly talked about the situation of Wancheng, and finally said, "Can Wancheng solve the problem? Can General Guan turn danger into safety? Can General Sun turn danger into safety? Everything is in General Henghai."

Zhao Xiu bowed and spit out the last few words clearly. This General Henghai was an official position when Su's thick legs belonged to Sun Shao. Zhao Xiu did not call him the general of Louchuan at this time, but called him General Henghai. Obviously, Sun Shao did not recognize Sun Quan's reward of Su's thick legs, and regarded Su's thick legs as a member of his shocking sailors. Su's thick legs listened, and her expression stagnated, and she couldn't help holding her breath.

General Guan, General Sun, General Guan, General Sun, these two names kept echoing in Su's thick legs. His face changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled off the seal of General Louchuan from his waist with his big hand. He put his hands on Zhao Xiu's hands and said earnestly, "Su Yu knows. Please ask Brother Zhao to reply to Sun. General, Su Yu is waiting for his news in the East China Sea. General Sun can't do it, and the East China Sea is uneasy.

Zhao Xiu looked at the seal in his hand and smiled: "The general is indeed a believer. The young master didn't misread you."

After listening to this sentence, the tears of Su's thick legs almost came down. Most of them said that the burden in his heart seemed to have been swept away, and his whole body became relaxed. He smiled loudly: "Brother Zhao, please return to Wancheng as soon as possible. Wait for me to discuss with Mr. Zhongxiang to see how to best echo the general."

Zhao Xiu arched his hand, nodded to Yu again, and turned around to make a big deal. Su exhaled with long legs and said to Yu in high spirits, "Mr. Yu, what do you think you should do?"

Yu turned his eyes and said, "Don't talk to me about this great crime of treason. I didn't hear anything just now."

Su's thick legs were stunned. Just as he was about to plead, he immediately understood. He laughed and said, "Sir, don't worry, this matter is done by my Su's thick legs. I just want to be wronged to treat me as a hostage for a few days."

Yu turned the corners of his mouth and said, "If you do this, Jianye will be in danger. If Supreme hears it, he will definitely come back day and night. Hey hey, if I catch you, you will have to delaminate if you don't die.

Su's thick legs didn't think so, and he sneered: "What am I afraid of? I'm a pirate. At worst, I'll take my brothers back to the East China Sea for a free time. It's just that I'm used to stretching out my hands and opening my mouth with this clothes. I suddenly returned to the East China Sea. I'm still a little uncomfortable with the lack of food and clothing. Before leaving, I have to plunder in Wu County and Huiji. Mr. Yu, don't you think so?

Yu was stunned and then scolded, "Su coarse legs, if you dare to touch my Yu family's property, how can I deal with you?"

"Sir, you are all my hostages. What else can I do?" Su's thick legs smiled and said, "Besides, if I rob others, but not your Yu family, will Sun Quan say that you are an accomplice?"

Yu opened his mouth and was speechless.

Su's thick legs laughed and was extremely happy. Suddenly, he understood what Sun Shao once said: "If you are a sailor, you have to rob it."

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Three days later, a 600-mile urgent report was sent to the desk of Chai Sang and Sun Quan. Sun Quan, who was talking with Liu Bei, opened it and immediately took a breath of cold air, and his face turned pale. He immediately ordered people to recruit Lv Meng and other generals to the big account, and then sent the military report to them. Everyone who saw it looked similar to Sun Quan's, and they all looked shocked.

Lv Meng was even more pale. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.

Gu Yong looked at Lv Meng, who fainted on the ground, and then looked at Sun Quan, who was in a mess. He also felt shocked. He sat silently, but his heart was beating violently. He was now full of fear of the young man who was far away in Wancheng.

Su coarse legs, the general of the building ship, and Jiang Qin, the general of the right guard, were disgusted because of the incomparity of the war plan. Then they fought against the Qingxu sailors and left without saying goodbye. Jiang Qin, who fought alone, was immediately surrounded by the Qingxu sailors, and the whole army was destroyed. After Su's thick legs came out of Chaohu Lake, he took Yu Fan and others hostage and plundered them all the way from Jianye to the East China Sea. Jiang Qin didn't fight, and Su's thick legs ran away. Qingxu Shuishi had no opponent. He went all the way east and went straight to Jianye City, which was in a hurry.

The originally calm east line rekindled the war. Sun Quan, who had always felt that the rear was very stable, was caught off guard, as if he had easily climbed up the ladder to the wall. When he was about to successfully climb the city, he was suddenly pulled out of the ladder.

Although no one said it, everyone could vaguely guess that the sudden backwater of Su's thick legs was probably related to Sun Shao in Wancheng. Generally speaking, such a thing is intolerable, but now Sun Quan has not entered the army to relieve the siege in Chai Sang for a long time, and he has been sitting on Sun Shao's life and death. His approach has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Sun clan and the old generals of Sun Ce. Sun Gao, who is in charge of Xiangyang, has sent people to ask Sun Quan to join the army one after another. Sun Quan ignored it, and even Lv Meng felt difficult to speak. Now Sun Shao is fighting back, planning Su's rough leg rebellion with one hand, and messing up Sun Quan's rear. Although this is very excessive, no one can say anything about him. It is Sun Quan who is not benevolent first, and he is righteous. If he is behind, he can only blame Sun Quan himself.

What's more, Su's thick leg was originally Sun Shao's old part. It was Sun Quan who dug his corner. Now he lifted a stone and hit his own foot. Who can be blamed? Besides, even if you know that it may be Sun Shao's trick, what evidence is there? Since Su's thick legs have done this, how can he come out to testify Sun Shao?

This mute suffered from Sun Quan's anger and jumped like thunder. Lv Meng and Jiang Qin had a very good relationship. Jiang Qin's unexpected death hit him hard. He vomited blood in shock and anger and was unconscious. He and Jiang Qin are Sun Quan's left and right hands. Once there is a war, Lv Meng is usually the main battle. Jiang Qin is the reserve team. Now as soon as Sun Shao takes action, he abolishes Jiang Qin and Lv Meng is sick, which is equivalent to cutting off Sun Quan's left and right hand at the same time, so that Sun Quan can't fight back.

This result was too serious and came too suddenly. All people were not prepared at all. The originally very good situation suddenly became uncontrollable. Not only did Sun Quan mess up, but also Sun Shao, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others were helpless. They looked at each other and felt very difficult. Finally, Zhang Wen, who was sitting in the most remote place, stood up.

"Supreme, the top priority is to consult with Liu Bei and send someone to go north to Wancheng with him, so that he will not take advantage of the fire."

Sun Quan stared at Zhang Wen angrily. He just wanted to scold, but he swallowed it back. Before he reacted, Sun Huan visited the Sun clan and Sun Ce's old troops in the army, told them the news of Wancheng, and asked Sun Quan to hide the war situation of Wancheng's intention to go bankrupt, which was Zhang Wen's credit. Sun Quan had long wanted to find an opportunity to clean up Zhang Wen, but now is not the right time. What Zhang Wen said was very reasonable. Once Liu Bei knew that there was a fire in his backyard, although he would not take advantage of it, it was completely possible to take the opportunity to snead him. To avoid this situation, Liu Bei can only be fooled north before he knows the news.
