Chapter 17 This is a play

At this time, Cao Zhen rushed to Liaodong. When he heard about this, he was in his arms and ran to Sun Shao and said that this matter was too annoying. In this case, even if Sun Quan gave up his son, he would save your son. The reason is very simple. He has two sons, but you only have one. He patted his chest and said, if His Royal Highness Yue needs it, I, the State of Wei, am willing to share the enemy and help you teach Sun Quan, a lesson. If it weren't for you, the king of Yue, how could he be qualified to be crowned king?

Sun Shao sneered. Does the general of the guard want to avenge me, or take the opportunity to negotiate terms?

Cao Zhen was serious and jumped up as if he had been humiliated. I really want to help you. How can you look at me like this?

Sun Shao didn't think so. He said to Cao Zhen, "I'm very grateful to the general of the guard for helping me. However, what I'm most worried about now is not war. What I'm most worried about is based on the ground. As you know, my Yue is trapped in the territory of the King of Wu. This fight can't be occupied. Since the general of the guard wants to help me, can you give it to me in Liaodong first?

Cao Zhen was immediately speechless. Cao Pi told him that Sun Shao would take advantage of it. At first, he didn't care too much. Now he believes that Sun Shao would indeed take advantage of it. At this time, he actually thought about Liaodong, but it was reasonable.

Negotiating with such a person is absolutely careless. Cao Zhen put away his contempt and endured the relationship between his surname and Sun Shao. Of course, this relationship began with Xiahou Hui. Xiahou Hui's mother was Cao Zhen's sister. He was the uncle of Xia Houhui's direct relatives. Otherwise, how could Cao Jian send him here?

With this relationship, it was really much easier to talk about. Sun Shao was eager to go back and settle accounts with Sun Quan. He was not in the mood to grind his teeth with Cao Zhen. They quickly reached an agreement. Liaodong County is still under the responsibility of Cao Zhang, the pastor of Youzhou, but the area south of Liaodong includes Lelang County and Dayang County to the State of Yue. As for the territory of Goguryeo and Fuyu, let's talk about it later, and the area of Sanhan in the south will also belong to Sun Shao in the future. If Sun Shao needs their assistance, let's talk about it later. Cao Qian's purpose is to limit Sun Shao to the eastern line and prevent him from standing on the east coast of Bohai Bay. Sun Shao now only occupies Lelang County and Daifang County. It is not easy to land in Jizhou directly. Even Qingzhou is separated by the vast sea in the middle. Not to mention that Cao Zhen has no idea how wide it is in the middle, even Cao Qian has no concept. On the map of the big man, this place is far away, and it is impossible to cross the vast sea. After Lelang and Daifang conquered Weiman North Korea from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and merged into the territory of the Han Dynasty, they have not been the place of concern of the Han people. This place is too far away from the emperor to receive any benefits. On the contrary, they often make trouble and give it to Sun Shao, which is no different from throwing away a trouble for Cao Wei.

Relatives belong to relatives, and the advantage should be taken. Cao Zhen took this opportunity to ask Sun Shao for a lot of benefits. Among them, there are those for Cao and Cao Pi. Of course, they are also indispensable for him. Finally, Cao Zhen said half-truly that if you need the help of our State of Wei, you can open your mouth. We can march from the Jianghuai area to contain Sun Quan's western troops. If you contact Xishu again and ask them to march from the south of the Yangtze River, then Sun Quan will die.

Sun Shao did not give him an accurate letter immediately. He just said that this matter is the family of my Sun family. I don't want to be involved in Taiguang. The world has just calmed down. If I am in chaos again because of my family affairs, won't I become a sinner? I will report to the emperor, and if necessary, I will definitely ask the king of Wei for help.

What Cao Zhen said was not entirely polite. He really wanted to take this opportunity to provoke a war and destroy the State of Wu first. If he destroyed the State of Wu, then the State of Yue would be faster. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao was not fooled, so he could only accept it and go back happily.

After the matter of Liaodong was negotiated, Sun Shao summoned Su coarse legs, a former general in a state of invisibility, and officially gave him the seal of the former general. At the same time, he was appointed as the governor of the East China Sea and stationed in Lianyungang. His jurisdiction was the area north of the mouth of the Yangtze River to Youzhou, including Sanhan and Japan that need to be conquered in the future. Speaking of which, if only the area is counted, this sea is about the same size as that of the Han Dynasty. Su's thick legs were very excited. He patted his chest and swore to Sun Shao that I would guard this sea for the king and ensure that no one would take advantage of our Yue.

Arranged to stop, Sun Shao set sail with 20,000 water troops and a large number of booty, taking advantage of the north wind to go straight to Jianye. Zang Ba and Sun Guanshun returned to their respective residences. This time, they followed Sun Shao to fight in Liaodong. They got a lot of benefits. They were not only promoted from the governor to the state herdsman, and their status was more stable, but they also established a good cooperative relationship with Sun Shao. In the future, their strength will become stronger and stronger, and it is waiting to get out of Cao Qian's control. They were very grateful to Sun Shao. They not only supported Sun Shao's large amount of food, but also personally sent him out of Xuzhou.

After a short stay in Lianyungang, Sun Shao's sailors arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The mouth of the Yangtze River was under martial law. Sun Shao, the governor of Guangling, rushed to Sun Shao's ship in person and bitterly advised Sun Shao to temporarily stop the anger of thunder and not to fight with Sun Quan. At the same time, Zhang Wen was ordered to rush to Sun Shao's army.

Zhang Wen was a little haggard. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, he smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the world is in chaos."

Sun Shao curled his lips, didn't say a word, and listened to Zhang Wen's mouth.

Zhang Wen was ordered to go to Xishu at the beginning of the year. The State of Shu is now very stable, and the danger of Ba County has been relieved. Liu Bei is relieved. Guan Yu has made great contributions in Nanyang and was recalled to Chengdu to serve as a general. He and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister, assisted Liu Bei. A few years ago, Guan Yu received 2,000 war horses sent by Sun Shao. He was very happy and praised his son-in-law for his filial piety. When he had the benefits, he would not forget his father-in-law. As soon as a guest came, he took out the letter written by Sun Shao, for fear that others would not know that he had a good son-in-law. Just as he was proud, Jianye's proton incident spread to Chengdu. Guan Yu was furious and went to the palace that night to ask Liu Bei for an edict to send troops to attack the State of Wu and avenge his grandson. Liu Bei was also coaxed with joy by the 2,000 horses. Seeing that he had the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and deal with Sun Quan, he did not say anything. Without discussing with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he agreed to Guan Yu's request and mobilized the army to prepare for the expedition. After hearing this, Zhang Wen, who was on a mission to Chengdu at that time, entered the palace to persuade Liu Bei and quickly sent the news back to Jianye. He finally appeased Liu Bei and rushed back to Jianye to find that it was not only Liu Bei and Guan Yu who heard the news. Cao Jian also moved. In the name of helping Sun Shao, he wanted to send more troops in Jianghuai.

Among them, Luoyang's court is the most embarrassing. Of course, the emperor knew that Cao Jian and Liu Bei had bad intentions and wanted to destroy Sun Quan and break this balance, but he could not stop it. Sun Shao had just given him a generous gift, which was reasonable. At this time, he should have said something for Sun Shao. So the emperor gave an edict to blame Sun Shao, but at the same time, he advised all parties to be more rational and not to use swords lightly. Of course, no one listened to these words. Not only did Cao Qian and Liu Bei ignore them, but Sun Quan also thought he was farting. They all rushed to the door. I'm not going to go to war. Can I wait to die? Sun Quan just wrote to the emperor, explained the reason, and asked the emperor to mediate, but he was prepared for the war.

The situation in the State of Wu suddenly became very tense.

When he began to prepare for war, Sun Quan felt that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his imagination. Not only are there many external enemies, but also there are no available people inside. The generals he originally believed were divided into three categories. One is the veterans left by Sun Ce. This kind of people are almost dead, leaving only a few Han Dang and others. Of course, this kind of people can't be used. The second category is his own cronies, led by Lv Meng and Lu Su, but these two are sick. Lv Meng is very seriously ill. Since Jiang Qin's death in the previous year, he has not been better. Lu Su is a little better, but he alone can't block a few sides. The third category is the clan, such as Sun Gao, but the hearts of such people have changed now. Sun Gao's eldest brother, Sun Song, is now the Zongzheng of the State of Yue. How dare he use it?

There are other types of people, such as He Qi and Lu Xun, but Sun Quan sadly found that he did not dare to use these people. Lu Xun is Sun Shao's contior, and He Qi's son He Da is Sun Shao's general. I heard that he has been doing well in Zhuya recently.

In the end, only Bu Qian, Lv Fan, Zhou Tai, Quan Zon, Lv Dai, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and others can be used. He promoted some young people, such as Lv Ba, the son of Lv Meng, Chen Xiu and Chen Biao, the son of Chen Wu, and Jiang Yi, the son of Jiang Qin, but it was far from enough.

Sun Quan originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of this war to regain Huiji. Now when he settles the account, he finds that it is good to be able to defend his territory. The Yue soldiers who have not yet counted Qian Tang may take the opportunity to hit his heart.

Originally, I felt that I lived a very comfortable life. When Sun Shao cooperated happily with him, I didn't feel anything. Now when I turned against Sun Shao, I know that my strength has unconsciously become Sun Shao's power. I not only have many external enemies, but also many internal enemies. Sun Quan was anxious at this time. After thinking about it, he thought of Fuchun's aunt Sun. He immediately sent someone to send the bridge over, and promised to take Mrs. Xu back immediately as the queen. He asked his aunt to say a favor anyway and explain to Sun Shao that I really didn't mean it. Don't fight at home. In the end, it was all at a discount to others.

Zhang Wen was ordered to persuade Sun Shao.

"Your Highness is wise, and the world is in Your Highness's heart. I have nothing to say. Your Highness, you can do what you think is better." Zhang Wen spread out his hands and said no more.

Zhang Wen said nothing, but Sun Shao calmed down. It seems that there are a lot of people who want to join in the fun. Guan Yu may really want to help him, but Liu Bei may not. As for Cao Jian, it is absolutely malicious. As soon as he fights with Sun Quan, this matter is really difficult.

You can't play, so the rest is to negotiate the conditions. Otherwise, wouldn't you have done all such a big action?

"All right, you go back. I won't embarrass you. Let him prepare for war." Sun Shao waved his hand and said indisputably, "I won't unite with outsiders to fight him. I will fight to the death with him myself."

Zhang Wen said that he didn't persuade him. In fact, how could he not persuade him? The reason why he put on a posture of letting go was nothing more than retreating forward. He hoped that Sun Shao would see the situation clearly and give way first. However, Sun Shao obviously did not have such a plan. Although he said that he would not unite with Cao Liu to fight Sun Quan, how could Cao and Liu watch so quietly as soon as they started the fight? They must have come uninvited. He thought for a while, "Your Highness, is there any other solution?"

"What can I do?" Sun Shao stared, "There is one way. He sent Sun Xie to me and let me cut it with a knife. Everyone is even."

"Isn't this... suitable?" Zhang Wen was shocked. Sun Shao seemed to be ready to end Sun Quan. Cut off Sunlv first, and then find a reason to kill Sun Deng. Sun Quan completely stared.

"What's wrong? His son is a son, and my son is not a son? He has two, one dead and the other. I'm the only one. I'm the only one. After such a day by him, my only son is gone.

Zhang Wen is speechless. Although Sun Shao's truth is a little reasonable, it also makes sense. Anyway, Sun Quan's matter is indeed not done properly.

"What about this method?" Zhang Wen had no choice but to be brazen.

"There is no other way." Sun Shao got up and walked away. Zhang Wen just wanted to follow up and then persuade him. Guan Feng, with red and swollen eyes and a pale face, flashed out from the side, pulled out half a long knife, and looked at Zhang Wen coldly. Zhang Wen was cold all over and hurriedly retreated.

Just when Zhang Wen was helpless, Fuchun's aunt sent someone to send a book. The bridge was sick and dying in Fuchun, hoping that Sun Shao could go to see her as soon as possible. In addition, Sun Quan's matter was not handled well. I'm sorry, Sun Shao, but Wu Yue went to war. No matter who won, it was a disaster for the Sun family. I hope Sun Shao can deal with this matter calmly. At the same time, she also told Sun Shao about Sun Quan's promise, which was very clear. She hoped that Sun Shao would sacrifice and fulfill Mrs. Xu and Sun Deng. As long as Mrs. Xu became the queen of the State of Wu and Sun Deng became the prince, what losses could not be made up in the future?

My aunt finally said that you are still young. With a few concubines, you will soon have a group of children.

After Sun Shao received the old aunt's book, he sat alone for a long time. Finally, he found Zhang Wen and Sun Shao and showed them the old aunt's book. Zhang Wen and Sun Shao saw a glimmer of hope, held their breath and looked at Sun Shao.

"My aunt came forward, I can't help but give some face." Sun Shao took a long breath: "But I can't swallow this breath."

"You said it." Before Zhang Wen opened his mouth, Sun Shao spoke first: "What conditions do you have?"

"First of all, I want a complete meeting." Sun Shao said word by word, "Secondly, I want the South China Sea."

Sun Shao took a cold breath and dared not say anything. The complete Huiji is enough. Anyway, the richest place has been occupied by Sun Shao, and other places are not impossible for him. However, the South China Sea is different. Although the population of the South China Sea is not as large as Wu County, the commercial development has been very fast in the past two years. It is one of the largest counties in Jiaozhou. Can Sun Quan give up?

"This is my bottom line. I talked to him for the good of my aunt. If he doesn't give it, I don't want to talk about it, so I'll go to war."

Zhang Wen hesitated a little. Before he could speak, Guan Feng's voice remembered at the door. She glared at Sun Shao with tears, and her hoarse voice was particularly harsh: "Husband, my husband is worth two counties. If you want these two counties, I can ask my father for help and help my husband take Jiangdong. Why do you want to use these two counties to match my Ayi? I don't want these two counties, I want him to pay for his life! I want him to pay for his life!"

Zhang Wen didn't dare to fart. He said, "I'll go back to report" and raised his leg and left. Sun Shao's wife spoiled him very much. He knew that if Sun Shao was changed his mind by Guan Feng again, the matter would really not turn around. Sun Shao was also a little embarrassed and hurriedly got up to leave. Guan Feng grabbed Sun Shao and sobbed. Sun Shangxiang and Xia Houhui rushed over with several female guards. It took a lot of effort to pull Guan Feng in, and their fingernails were almost torn.

Sun Shaohu entered the inner room with a face and motioned Sun Shangxiang, who had been pinched out by Guan Feng, to go out first. Sun Shangxiang looked sadly and gasped. She shrank in the corner of the bed exhausted. Guan Feng, who was silently shed tears, stamped her feet and took people out. Sun Shao closed the door with his backhand, pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, and then rushed to Guan Feng.

Guan Feng stared at him fiercely, as if she were looking at a stranger. She bent her hands and could jump up at any time. For more than two months since she learned the bad news, she has almost gone crazy.

"I'll tell you..."

"I don't listen--" Before Sun Shao's words fell, Guan Feng screamed, and her hoarse voice was as bad as sawing wood.

"You will definitely want to hear it." Sun Shao took another step forward.

"I don't listen, I don't listen." Guan Feng covered her ears and said, "You do business with A Yi... You do business with A Yi... I don't want to listen to you."

Sun Shao looked around with a guilty heart, held Guan Feng's wrist in both hands, pulled her into his arms, and put his mouth to her ear. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He took a cold breath, but did not dare to move, for fear that this pull would break Guan Feng's teeth.

"Silver...Silver screen, listen to me...say it." Sun Shao grinned in pain: "A Li... A Li is fine."

Guan Feng, who was biting him hard, was stunned for a moment, immediately let go of her mouth, pushed him away, and stared at him with red eyes: "You...what are you talking about?"

"Oh, hey, you're too cruel." Sun Shao pulled off his collar and turned his head to look at the wound on his shoulder. It was really miserable. A row of tooth marks were clearly visible, and blood beads quickly oozed out of the tooth marks and connected into a line.

"Say it, what's wrong with you?" Guan Feng didn't care about his wound, grabbed him and asked repeatedly.

"Chuh your voice." Sun Shao quickly covered her mouth, stared into her eyes, and lowered his voice: "You promise me first. After listening, you can't shout loudly."

Guan Feng stared at Sun Shao, stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again. Sun Shao was still worried. She still covered her mouth with one hand and whispered in her ear. Guan Feng's eyes were round and dull. After a while, she suddenly burst into tears. She pressed Sun Shao's hand with both hands, opened her mouth and bit it fiercely. While biting, she cried and said, "Hello... cruel... You're so cruel. Ah... How can you hide it from me for so long? Don't you... know... I hate it so much that I want to die?"

Sun Shao was so painful that he inhaled coldly, but he did not dare to move. What Guan Feng was like in the past few months. He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he knew Guan Feng's temper. If he didn't hide it from her, he couldn't hide it from others. This scene was in vain. In fact, it's not just Guan Feng. He is more worried about the bridge. At this moment, the bridge must have taken all the responsibility on himself. He felt that it was her negligence that made A Li die. With her surname, the old aunt said that she was dying now, and Sun Shao believed a hundred people.

But what if I don't do this? Sun Quan wanted to use A Li as a bargaining chip to force him to work for him. Sooner or later, the conflict between them will break out. Sooner or later, it's better to be painful. He is the chief director. He knows the ins and outs of the scene and doesn't worry about his son. What he really worries about is Guan Feng and Bridge, but he can't say it. He can only bury all the secrets in his heart. Today, I saw that Guan Feng was really angry. She was afraid that she couldn't think about it for a while and killed herself with a knife in the middle of the night, so she gave him the bottom.

Guan Feng burst into tears and finally fell asleep in Sun Shao's arms. The suffering of the past two months made her unable to bear it. If the belief of revenge for her son had not supported her, she might have fallen long ago.

Sun Shao did not dare to neglect, and asked people to cook porridge for Guan Feng to recuperate. He had been by Guan Feng's side and did not let anyone approach her. Even Xia Houhui and Sun Shangxiang came to see Guan Feng, and he did not leave. Guan Feng slept heavily all night. The next morning, she got up and looked at Sun Shao, who was lying beside him. Tears couldn't help flowing out again.

Sun Shao, who was awakened, looked at it, sighed, and took her into his arms: "Get up and wash up. Eat something. You've suffered a lot these days."

"Husband, am I particularly useless?" Guan Feng hugged Sun Shao's waist, trembled her shoulders, and sobbed silently, "You don't tell me such a big thing. Are you worried that I can't hide my heart? I'm not as calm as Sister Yuanrong?"

Sun Shao didn't know what to say. He thought Guan Feng would blame him again, but he didn't expect Guan Feng to blame himself first. He smiled awkwardly: "No, Yuanrong doesn't know about this matter. Only me and those two people know."

"Who is it? Can they take good care of the children?"

"Don't worry about this." Sun Shao hesitated for a moment: "I'm not going to let these two people appear. Don't tell the third person. Neither Yuanrong and aunt can do it."

Guan Feng raised her head and looked at Sun Shao with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to know who they are. I just want to see the children earlier."

"Now?"

"Now, I want to see him now. I can't wait any longer."

"I knew you couldn't wait." Sun Shao scratched his head helplessly and got up and turned around twice: "The child is on an island outside Qian Tangkou. I said that you are sick and want to rest. Let someone send you to the island, and you will stay there with the child for a while."

"All right." Guan Feng nodded impatiently. She didn't want anything now and couldn't wait to fly to the child's side immediately.

"Mother's place... Forget it, I'll ask someone to take her to that island. Take good care of her. She may be worse than you this time."
