Shu Chen

Chapter 512
The four years of Chiwu seemed to be a good year for Sun Quan.

At the beginning of spring, the general of Zhennan, the leader of Jiaozhou Mu Lu Dai and the general Tang Zi came to report that the rebellious Liao Shi and the pseudo-official Linhe prefect Fei Yang appointed by him had all been executed; It depends on the prefectures and counties that are coerced.

There was also news from Lujiang County, claiming that wealthy merchants from Wei State Yanyu and Jizhou also began to send people to contact and ask if they could do business.

If the rebellion is settled, the people's hearts can be at ease; if the business gathers, the people can be enriched and the country strengthened.

The two can allow Jiangdong to slowly recover his fighting background.

It also made Sun Quan finally heave a sigh of relief, and set his sights on the struggle for the top in the world.

Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel sad again—unknowingly, in the situation of the three kingdoms in the world, the state of Wu has become the weakest.

Indeed, today's Jiangdong is incomparable even to Bashu.

After the Battle of Yiling in the past, Bashu, which rebelled in Nanzhong in the past, is now peaceful and cool in the country.The Wu State, which occupies half of Yangzhou, Jingnan, and Jiaozhou, seems to have a vast territory, but its population is thin. People's hearts are lost.

Is it beneficial to Jiangdong to unite with Bashu and attack Wei?

After reviewing the changes in the world situation over the past ten years since the Yiling War, Sun Quan couldn't help but linger on this question.

Although he knew that Wei Guo was strong and prosperous at that time.

The alliance between the weak Han and Wu countries is a wise move and a way of preservation.

But today, more than ten years after the Communist Alliance, seeing Bashu opening up territories and Jiangdong losing troops and losing almost nothing, he inevitably became suspicious.After all, when Cao Pi of the Wei State came to conquer the country three times, Jiangdong also defeated him by himself!
With or without the help of Bashu, Jiangdong can keep its territory.

In other words, Jiangdong seems to have gained nothing from the alliance with Bashu
on the contrary!

Previously, Bibapu came to offer advice, causing Jiangdong to lose countless soldiers and only get a new city of Hefei, but it restrained the troops of Wei State for Bashu, so that Bashu safely passed the difficult time when they occupied Longyou and Liangzhou!

Ugh.
Gently put Lu Dai's report on the table on the table, Sun Quan supported the table and got up.

Maybe it's because I've been sitting on my knees for too long.

When he got up suddenly, he felt dizzy and dazed for a moment.

This made him feel even worse.

Because of this, he suddenly remembered that he was about to enter his sixtieth year.

Looking back a few years ago, he was still enjoying shooting tigers, but now he began to sigh with emotion that "the old man can't use his muscles and bones"
Ugh!
I sighed again in my heart.

Sun Quan waved his attendants away, and carrying a long-beaked pottery gourd full of fine wine, he walked slowly towards the pool, pavilion and waterside pavilion in Wuchang Palace.

Wuchang in the early spring is still full of wind and snow.

The building is deep and the eaves are heavy. With the white marble steps spreading, from the splendor of the hall to the ashes of the flowers and trees, it is like Sun Quan's mood from joy to sorrow at this moment.

I stood silently for a while.

Seeing the thin snowflakes falling around, despite the coldness that stings the skin from time to time along the sleeves of his clothes, Sun Quan moved the long-beaked pottery gourd to his mouth bit by bit.

The expression is also constantly changing.

Sometimes solemn, sometimes unwilling, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes lonely, sometimes sad.
After a while, the small long-beaked pottery gourd bottomed out, and Sun Quan threw it to the ground, refusing to turn back.

"Come on, let's sing and dance!"

In the huge main hall of Wuchang Palace, precious sandalwood is burning on the base of the platform, the charcoal fire in the brazier is warm, the smoke is lingering, the bells and drums are melodious, and the music of silk and bamboo is overwhelming, covering many kabuki dressed in tulle and barefoot. It is like a fairyland when floating.

Sun Quan behind the vermilion lacquer and carved dragon table, leaned without any royal dignity, his drunken eyes were hazy, and he kept drinking.

Under the curling green smoke of sandalwood and the radiance of the lights, his eyes were a little bright.

It seems that there are faint tears?

I don't know if I drank too fast and choked on the wine, or was smoked by the charcoal smoke.

Guanzhong, Right Fufeng, Siwei meeting.

As dusk approached, Zheng Pu, who came in a snowstorm, rushed outside Chencang City, and was welcomed into the camp by Guan Xing.

But it's not going to the prime minister's Chinese military tent, but his own military tent.

As he entered his sixties, the Prime Minister's health continued to deteriorate.Needless to say, the leg disease was getting worse and worse, and it was almost difficult to walk; and people who were by the prime minister's side all the year round would find that the prime minister's frost-stained beard and hair had become much thinner.

Especially in the bitter cold season of winter and spring, the prime minister often fell ill.

Although it was a harmless minor illness, it also made him exhausted. Now many affairs have been delegated to Guan Xing, Xiang Chong, Hu Ji and others.That's why, today it's only getting darker, and the prime minister has already used the decoction made by Mushi and the imperial physician, so he took a rest early.

Guan Xing's military tent is a bit cold.

Only a lamp is flickering like beans, and there is not even a brazier placed.

As soon as Zheng Pufu entered, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He is a person who has just recovered from a long illness, and he was already hungry and frozen all the way through the wind and snow, how can he have a strong body like Guan Xing and fear the cold spring.

"An Guo, let the subordinates bring charcoal fire."

Tightening his collar tightly, he complained in his tone, "Drag me into your tent, you can't prepare the drinks and food to keep you warm, and you don't even have a brazier! We have known each other for many years, so you don't know my body. Are you weak?"

"Hey, I forgot for a moment."

Guan Xing, who was criticized, was not angry. He patted himself on the forehead and quickly apologized, "Zijin wait a moment, I will make arrangements."

After saying that, he strode out of the military account again.

After a while, he brought several followers to hold the brazier, meat and wine.

Zheng Pu is not polite either.

After waving his hand to let the retinue leave, he cut his flesh with a small dagger, drank, and devoured it without the demeanor of a scholar.

He also asked inarticulately, "An Guo, is the Prime Minister in good health?"

"It's fine."

Guan Xing, who had used evening food a long time ago, was pouring himself a drink at this moment. Hearing the words, he replied, "I am more afraid of the cold, more tired and less sleep. The imperial physician has ordered not to be exposed to the wind and snow for a long time. "

"Oh, all right."

Zheng Pu responded without saying a word, and concentrated on eating.

But Guan Xing started to talk about sex, and talked about the situation of besieging Chen Cangcheng in recent days.

For example, how much siege equipment has been built, the fact that the officers and men of various ministries have taken turns to rest, and Wei Yan, who arrived yesterday, once again mentioned the idea of ​​​​crossing the river to attack.

and many more.

When Zheng Pu was finally full and rinsed his hands with clean water, he turned to reminiscing about the old days, "Zijin was in the Nishui River Valley, defeated the rebellious Wei with a small number of people, beheaded generals, captured flags, and captured countless captives. I can't look back! "

"Xunzi said, 'Those who flatter me are my thieves', it can be said that Anguo is not a good friend!"

Zheng Pu, who returned to his seat again, glanced at him angrily, and replied, "An Guo's words must be expressed by General Zhiwei!"

General Wei is Chen Dao.

As for his above statement, it means that the elaboration has discovered an anomaly related to Jiangdong.
