Chapter 2549 Pang statistics poison, release Sun Ce?
Chapter 2545 : Pang statistics poison, release Sun Ce?
Being mixed up by Jia Xu, Sima Yi revealed his identity and had to temporarily turn to Sun Quan.

But because Sima Yi was once a secret agent of Chu State, how much Sun Quan trusted Sima Yi before, how much he distrusts him now.

Sun Quan was only going to let Sima Yi be by his side, be a counselor, and give himself advice. It is impossible to give Sima Yi more power.

Sima Yi knew this, but it was difficult to accept it.

In order to win Sun Quan's trust again and save his life, Sima Yi could only tell Sun Quan what he knew about the intelligence network that Chu State had built in Wu State for many years, and used it as a sign of his sincere surrender.

In addition, Sima Yi also played Mission Impossible while the Chu State did not know about it, and cooperated with Sun Quan to capture the Chu State's spies.

That was the intelligence network that Chu State had spent many years and spent countless financial resources and manpower building in Wu State, but it was destroyed because of Sima Yi alone, so now all the Chu State hate Sima Yi.

After hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Xiu was silent for a long time, and then said, "Betrayal? Maybe.

Sima Yi is a hawk, and he is naturally rebellious. He has never really been loyal to someone, but our country of Chu can make him revenge, so he will be loyal to our country of Chu.

The reason why he would betray now should be that he had to do it for self-protection after being exposed. "

Liu Xiu was at a loss as to why Sima Yi exposed this.

Sima Yi had already completely believed in Sun Quan. Sun Quan himself could not have taken the initiative to suspect it. Even if he suspected it, there was no evidence. So how did Sun Quan know Sima Yi's identity?
"My lord, no matter what difficulties Sima Yi has, it is an indisputable fact that in order to protect himself, he let six of our 430 spies die in vain. If they are not held accountable, those spies died in vain." Liu Baylina said angrily.

"That's right, and Sima Yi is both human and military, and Sun Quan has his assistance. It is undoubtedly more difficult for the state of Chu to completely annex the state of Wu. Wei Chen believes that an assassin should be sent to assassinate Sima Yi." Liao Li Jin said.

In this regard, Liu Xiu couldn't help but ponder, but after a long time he shook his head and said, "This is not right, assassination is a small way.

Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, even if it does, it will not be of much use.

It can neither prevent Sun Quan from taking power, nor can it add a city and a pool to our country of Chu, it is better to wait and see how things change.

Sima Yi is a smart person, and he should know that with Sun Quan's ability, he can't take revenge in this life.

Therefore, if he had to deceive and surrender, he would definitely try to contact this king. "

"My lord is right, but no matter whether Sima Yi is swindling or not, you must be careful when you come into contact with this poisonous snake. My country of Chu will not be bitten by it again." Kuai Liang said.

Liu Xiu and Kuai Liang both said so, Liu Ba Liao Li and others had no choice but to suppress the intention of assassinating Sima Yi first.

Pang Tong stood up again at this time, and said: "My lord, since Sun Quan has already succeeded to the throne and has become the new King of Wu, Sun Ce will not have much effect in our hands, and it is better to let him go back.

Although Sun Quan became the king of Wu, his position was not solid. There were still many people in the Wu army who were Sun Ce's confidants, and Sun Ce still had the strength to fight against Sun Quan.

Besides, Sun Jian's death was already full of doubts. If Sun Ce returned, wouldn't he not investigate clearly?

When two tigers fight, there is bound to be a loss. Our country of Chu only needs to sit and watch the battle within Wu, so that we can harvest the fisherman and make a profit. "

Regarding the death of Sun Jian, although Sun Quan did it almost perfectly and left no substantive evidence, the senior leaders of various countries are not fools, and they can see that
Hearing Pang Tong's remarks, Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up and smiled:

"What the military adviser said is very true, Sun Ce can only be a prisoner who cannot surrender in the hands of our state of Chu, and has no role in other than that, but when he returns to the state of Wu, it can exacerbate the contradictions in the state of Wu.

But after all, Sun Ce was caught with great efforts by our country, and even if he wanted to let him go back to China, he could not let him go in vain. Wu Guo always had to pay a price. "

"My lord, this is not difficult.

Sun Jian had always wanted to redeem Sun Ce when he was still alive. Although Sun Quan has succeeded to the throne, his prestige is not enough. Wu State is watching his every move, and in order to win over Sun Ce's old clan, he has always tried his best to rescue him. .

Before Wu Guo did not agree, it was because our release conditions were too high, and now we will ask for a lower level, as long as Wu Guo returned the original land.

This request is not excessive. If Sun Quan does not agree, and instead sits and sees his brother in prison, but does nothing, then he is jealous of the virtuous and deliberately does not want Sun Ce to come back.

If this is the case, Sun Quan will definitely lose his reputation, and the position of King Wu will be unstable. We will not suffer if we release Sun Ce at that time. "

"What the strategist said is very true, just do what the strategist said."

"promise."

The State of Chu took the initiative to lower the request for the release of Sun Ce, which caused a great uproar in the State of Wu.

Chu State took the initiative to lower the negotiation requirements, and no longer wanted Wu State to cede the three counties of Yuzhang and Lujiang, as long as Wu State returned to the original land, namely: Juchao, Wanxian, Xunyang, Tongxiang, Zhuxian, and Qichun six cities.

This is much more sincere than the previous conditions.

When Sun Ce's old followers learned that the State of Chu was willing to release Sun Ce and that they only needed to retreat from the six cities including Wanxian, they sent letters to Sun Quan, hoping that Sun Quan would agree to the request of the State of Chu and save Sun Ce.

Sun Quan naturally didn't want Sun Ce to come back, but in order to win over people's hearts, his attitude towards the outside world had always been to actively rescue Sun Ce.

Now that Chu State has taken the initiative to lower the requirements, and the conditions are not excessive, if Sun Quan is not even willing to exchange, then he is really guilty of being a thief and deliberately does not want Sun Ce to come back.

Sun Quan neither wanted the prestige he had built up with great difficulty to collapse, nor did he want his elder brother Sun Ce to come back and threaten his status.

"Zhongmou, the eldest son, he must not come back now."

Bu Li said with a serious face, and Sima Yi nodded in agreement.

After all, Sun Quan had only just ascended the throne, and it was the most critical period for establishing his prestige. If he waited for the last year and a half, after Sun Quan took power completely, even if Sun Ce returned, he would not pose a threat to Sun Quan.

But now that Sun Quan has not completely taken power, if Sun Ce comes back, it will definitely pose a great threat to Sun Quan.

"This king naturally knows that eldest brother can't come back now, but the key is how to keep eldest brother from coming back?"

Sun Quan said with an irritated face, this time Chu State hit him in the dead end, and letting him advance is neither a retreat nor a retreat.

For Sun Quan, saving Sun Ce or not, could not be regarded as a benefit.

To save Sun Ce, he was looking for trouble for himself.

If Sun Ce is not saved, his image and prestige that he has worked so hard to manage will collapse in one move.

No matter what it is, it is difficult for Sun Quan to accept it, and he can be regarded as understanding Liu Xiu's greatness.

Since the two are harmful, you can only choose the one that has the least impact on yourself.

Sun Quan thought about it, but he could only think of a way to delay. To save Sun Ce, he would definitely save Sun Ce, but he had to delay as much as possible until he took power completely, so as to minimize the impact of saving Sun Ce returning to the country.

As for how to delay, Sun Quan also had a plan in his mind. Since there were people who supported the rescue, there would definitely be people who opposed it. Let these people argue with Sun Ce's old minions. The longer the quarrel, the better.

After listening to Sun Quan's idea, Bu Yu nodded immediately, but Sima Yi shook his head in veto.

"Does Mr. Zhong Da think this method is not good?" Sun Quan asked.

"This method can be delayed for a few days at most, but it will not last for half a year. In the end, it is up to you to make a decision." Sima Yi said.

"Does that Mr. have a solution?" Sun Quan asked again.

After being silent for a while, Sima Yi said, "The best way is to find Sun Ce's place of detention before the negotiation ends, so that he can never return to Wu State."

"This king also wants to know this method once and for all, but it's easier said than done." Sun Quan sighed lightly.

It's not that he didn't think about getting rid of Sun Ce, it was just that in order to protect Sun Ce, the state of Chu had already transferred Sun Ce to somewhere unknown.

Now Sun Quan doesn't even know where Sun Ce is locked up, so how can he get rid of it?

"My subordinates know that there is a place in the state of Chu, which is specially used to detain important prisoners. Perhaps Sun Ce is detained here." Sima Yi said.

"Where?" Sun Quan asked hastily.

"South of Jiaozhou Hepu County, there is an isolated island called Zhuyazhou, which is isolated overseas and detains many felons of Chu State.

The lord could have sent some dead men to try their luck. It would be best to find Sun Ce, but if he couldn't find it, he had to think of other ways. "Sima Yi said.

"That's the only way." Sun Quan sighed. After all, there was no other way.

In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military officials of the Wu state were divided into two groups.

With Sun Ce's old department and the civil ministers promoted by Sun Ce as a group, they support the rescue of Sun Ce on the condition of agreeing to the state of Chu.

On the other hand, the aristocratic Jiangdong family headed by Buzhen and generals who had their hearts on Sun Quan were another group, opposing the ceding of land and redemption of Sun Ce.

Those who supported it claimed that the conditions of the state of Chu were more sincere, and that it was completely within the scope of the state of Wu to give up the six cities such as Wanxian in exchange for Sun Ce.

Those who oppose it think that Wu State has attacked Chu many times, but they have not gained an inch of land. Now they have sacrificed tens of thousands of troops, and finally they have conquered six cities such as Wanxian County and invaded Jiangxia territory. If they give up at this time, I am sorry to die in battle. soldier.

The two sides held their own opinions and quarreled with each other. The palace hall seemed to have become a vegetable market, but still no one could say who.

Sun Ce's old ministries saw that there were so many officials who opposed it, and knew that they were supported by someone behind them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a unified voice. In desperation, they could only ask Wu Guotai to do justice.

Wu Guotai is also a sturdy woman. When she learned that the Chu State had taken the initiative to lower the conditions for releasing her, she was full of joy and thought that her eldest son would definitely come back, but she did not want more than half of the officials in the court to object, so she carried the dragon head crutches angrily. In the previous court, Sun Ce was hit with a cane when he saw someone objecting to the redemption.

Wu Guotai had a special status, and the opposition did not dare to resist, regardless of martial arts, so they were beaten with blue skin and swollen faces.

Wu Guotai was not relieved after beating the ministers, and instead rebuked Sun Quan for being unfilial, persecuting his elder brother before his biological father died.

Sun Quan was scolded in public by his biological mother, and he wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in. Before, he could delay as much as possible, but in this case, he had to make a statement, so after a fake discussion, the decision would be made in public. The eldest brother, Sun Ce, actually just wanted to stabilize his mother.

When Wu Guotai saw that Sun Quan agreed to redeem Sun Ce, he left with satisfaction, but he did not expect that Sun Quan was only talking about it, but in fact there was no movement at all.

Seeing this, Wu Guotai knew that Sun Quan would never save Sun Ce, so he protested with a hunger strike.

If Sun Quan didn't save her brother Sun Ce, she would starve to death, making Sun Quan a charge of filial piety.

Wu Guotai's hunger strike completely drove Sun Quan to a dead end, and at this time Sun Wu also returned to China.

Sun Wu directly expressed his support for the rescue of Sun Ce, which became the last straw to crush the opposition.

More than half of the people in the whole country support the rescue of Sun Ce. If Sun Quan still insists on doing nothing, he will only disappoint those who originally supported him, and eventually he will end up as a betrayal.

Therefore, Sun Quan could only agree to the conditions of Chu State, agreeing to withdraw from the six cities including Wanxian County, and redeem Sun Ce.

This rescue battle made Sun Quan see the influence of Sun Ce, and he was even more afraid of his eldest brother, and pinned his hopes on the killer sent to Zhuya Prefecture.

However, Sun Quan's calculation failed again. Soon after, news came from Chu that Sun Ce was about to be released, and none of the assassins sent returned.

Obviously they all died in Zhuyazhou.
