Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1300 Farce
Sun Quan immediately realized that something was wrong, and he tried to struggle to get up, but the unusual movement of his body affected his abdomen, causing his face and limbs to twitch in pain.

The general dressed in Jin army uniform saw this and sneered, "You'd better lie still. I heard that the doctors took great pains to save you. If your wound bursts again and your intestines spill out, you will be hopeless."

Sun Quan lay on his back and asked, "Who can tell me what happened?"

"Where are my ministers?"

"Where's Sun Shao? Where's Yan Jun? Where's Zhang Zhao?"

The hurried footsteps were heard again and the door was pushed open again. Sun Quan glanced sideways and saw someone he didn't expect.

He hissed: "Zi, Zijing?"

"How will you be here?"

Lu Su walked forward a few steps, bowed and said, "Su greets the king."

Sun Quan stared at Lu Su and suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter affected his wound, causing him to cough a few times before he could catch his breath. "Zijing, these Jin soldiers didn't call me King before, but you did."

"But Zijing, you still betrayed me, didn't you?"

Lu Su said in a deep voice: "Although I have my own reasons, what the king said is indeed correct, and I have no way to refute it."

"What Su can do now is to try his best to ensure the king's safety, so as not to let the king down for his kindness."

Sun Quan said in a hoarse voice: "The Jin army has entered the city, right?"

Lu Su had no choice but to reply: "Yes, the king is seriously injured, and Sun Hou has taken over as regent and has surrendered to Jin on behalf of Wu."

Sun Quan was furious when he heard this, "Sun Kuang, that idiot!"

"My foundation, the foundation of the Sun family, was destroyed by him just like that!"

Lu Su said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no one in Wu is willing to fight any more."

"Does your Majesty know how many orphans and widows there are in Nanchang City now?"

Sun Quan shouted angrily: "Lu Su!"

"I didn't expect you to be as spineless as Zhang Zhao!"

"You have received the kindness of the Wu Kingdom, but you turned around and helped the evil tiger to kill our Wu soldiers. How can you be at peace?"

Lu Su sighed and was about to answer when a voice from outside rang out, "Sun Quan, Zi Jing's kindness has been treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by you. If I had a son like you, I would be in a lot of trouble."

The door was pushed open again. Sun Quan tilted his head and looked with wide eyes, and saw a young man who was only a few years older than him walking in leisurely.

The other party was wearing a set of linen uniform, which was different from the wide robes with big sleeves worn by scholars. This kind of uniform looked more like the daily clothes of ordinary people mixed with the style of Hu clothing. The attire was neat and it was obvious that it was very suitable for fighting with armor on.

No matter how confused Sun Quan was at this time, he knew that there were only a few people in the world who dared to speak in such a tone, and there was probably only one person of this age.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fierce tiger!"

As a result, the other party's next sentence completely broke his defense.

"Zhongmou, it's me, your foster father."

Sun Quan yelled, not caring about his abdominal injury at this moment, and waved his arms wildly, trying to grab something to hit Yuan Xi. Seeing this, Lu Su was so scared that he quickly went up to hold Sun Quan's arm and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

He was also speechless. Who knew that the two would end up like this when they met? And my lord, is it okay for you to do this? You went to great lengths to revive Sun Quan just to piss him off to death?

Sun Quan's eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and he shouted, "Xionghu, you used tricks to cause civil unrest in Wu, and I will not accept my defeat!"

Seeing that Sun Quan looked like he was going to die at any moment, Yuan Xi stopped provoking him and sat leisurely beside the couch, patting Sun Quan's feet and saying, "Zhongmou, if your fourth brother hadn't saved your life by giving away the city, you would have reported to the King of Hell this morning."

"You feel that everyone has wronged you, but have you ever been worthy of others?"

Sun Quan yelled and kicked Yuan Xi on the waist, almost making him fall off the bed. Yuan Xi was angry and grabbed Sun Quan's ankle and pulled him under the bed, "You are so rebellious! You dare to hit me, you unfilial thing!"

When Lu Su saw this, he was so scared that he rushed forward to stop Yuan Xi. Just behind him, Sun Kuang, Lu Xun and others rushed over. When they saw Yuan Xi and Sun Quan fighting like street thugs, they were stunned. What was going on?
Everyone finally separated the two. Sun Quan was grimacing in pain due to his injury. However, Yuan Xi sat aside and picked up Sun Quan's crown to fan him, which made everyone roll their eyes.

Sun Kuang sat down in front of Sun Quan and told him the whole story. Finally, he said, "I know you hate me for losing the Kingdom of Wu, but the situation is over. I don't want everyone to be buried with you because of your ambition."

He pointed to the empty sleeve of his left arm, "Although my second brother and I are not born of the same mother, Kuang Zhi has done nothing to regret. Even if I owe my brother anything, I have already repaid it with this arm."

Sun Quan's sword strike was so powerful that it almost cut off Sun Kuang's left arm. Although the Jin army doctors tried their best to save him, it was ultimately irreparable and had to be amputated.

When Sun Quan saw this, he was speechless for a moment.

Yuan Xi stood up and sighed, "If my Yuan family had a brother like you, there wouldn't be endless internal strife that almost led to the demise of the Yuan family."

Sun Quan sneered: "But the Wu Kingdom is still destroyed!"

"I am not Sun yet."

Yuan Xi sneered, "What's wrong with the Sun family?" "The Wu Kingdom must belong to your Sun family?"

"Your Sun family became wealthy thanks to Yuan Shu. Can I say that Wu Kingdom also belongs to the Yuan family?"

"Now that I can keep the Sun family safe, do you really think that if we surrender to the Cao family and they unify the world, the Sun family will be better off than it is now?"

Sun Quan angrily asked, "Then it belongs to your Yuan family?"

"You are not much older than me. If it weren't for my high starting point and good luck, I..."

Yuan Xi sneered, "Sun Quan, are you still deceiving yourself?"

"I have done this all these years, what have you done? Don't you have an idea of ​​what you have done?"

"Can you defeat Cao Cao, or can you defeat me, or can you go to the north to fight the Xianbei and the foreign barbarians?"

"Have you ever won a battle?"

Seeing that Sun Quan's face had turned as red as a pig's liver, Lu Su and Sun Kuang quickly looked at Yuan Xi, thinking to themselves, if you keep talking like this, Sun Quan will probably be pissed off to death, right?
Lu Xun said, "My lord, your achievements are known to all the world. There is no need to lower yourself and argue with the loser."

Yuan Xi had already vented his anger, so he took advantage of the situation to back down. He threw the crown aside and said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan is right. I was impulsive."

"Do you have anything to say to Sun Quan?"

Lu Xun looked towards Sun Quan, took a step forward and said, "I am Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, the son of Lu Gongji, the head of the Lu family."

"Xun wants to ask, how did your uncle die?"

He had already known the answer from Sun Shao before, and this time he just verified it with Sun Quan in person. Sure enough, after hearing it, Sun Quan's face turned pale and blue, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "I am sorry, Gongji."

Lu Xun said indifferently: "When two countries fight, they will do anything to achieve their goals, but the king is too cruel."

"Xun is only thankful that he left early and was able to meet the lord. Otherwise, if he stayed in Wu, he would probably have ended up like this."

"Otherwise, Xun's two arms and a head are not enough to chop off."

What he said was very blunt. Sun Quan himself has a dirty bottom, yet he still has the nerve to criticize others. Sun Kuang saved Sun Quan's life, but he was still like this. Not to mention the relationship between Lu Xun and Lu Ji. In fact, they had supported each other all the way from Lujiang. Now Lu Ji was loyal to the Wu Kingdom, but was caught in an internal strife and died. Who wouldn't be heartbroken?

Yuan Xi said, "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven. Zhongmou should think carefully about his future."

"By the way, Nanchang is now in ruins. I have already appointed Sun Jizuo as the Marquis of Ping'an to help the two governors, Boyan and Zijing, rebuild Yuzhang and restore people's livelihood as soon as possible."

"As for you, Zhongmou, you will follow me north to Shouchun."

Sun Quan sneered and said, "King Jin is going to publicly execute me and enforce the law to enhance the prestige of Wu?"

"No," Yuan Xi said sarcastically, "It's just that someone is worried about you, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about a rebellious child like you."

Sun Quan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Yuan Xi ignored him, told the guards to take good care of him, and turned around to leave.

Sun Kuang followed Yuan Xi out and said with a wry smile, "Kuang is extremely envious of Second Brother for being able to see Mother. It would be great if he and I could switch places."

Yuan Xi patted Sun Kuang on the shoulder and said, "If I take both of you away, Jiangdong will think I'm going to destroy the bridge after crossing it."

"After a year or so, when Yuzhang is back on track, you can go to Shouchun anytime."

Sun Kuang thanked him quickly, and finally said, "Second brother, should everything be alright?"

Yuan Xi sighed: "As long as he doesn't seek death."

"I don't understand why you keep worrying about Sun Quan even though he treats you so badly. Do you really not hate him?"

Sun Kuang listened and smiled bitterly, "Second brother has always had great ambitions. Since the death of our eldest brother, he is the most likely one among the three of us to bring glory to the Sun family."

"Now that it has come to this, I'm afraid he is unwilling to give up."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "He is lucky. How many people in the world are talented and ambitious, but they just didn't meet the right time and died before they could accomplish their mission?"

"In the fight for the world, Wu has no vision to move beyond the Jianghuai region. It would be a good idea to let him go to Shouchun to sober up."

A few days later, Sun Quan and Sun Kuang handed over the seal and the letter of credence in the presence of Wu's ministers, officially declaring the demise of Wu.

In the court, except for a few Sun Quan's loyal ministers such as Sun Shao and Yan Jun who would be taken away with Sun Quan, Yuan Xi only placed a small number of officials he brought with him, while the other officials would be sent to serve in various places in Jianghuai. The Wu Kingdom was originally a group of loose sand, and the interests of the Jiangdong gentry had not been greatly damaged. After this arrangement, there would be no more trouble.

Seeing that everything was settled, Yuan Xi was worried that Wei would take the opportunity to counterattack from the direction of Yuzhou, so he prepared to lead his troops north and return to Shouchun from Rushu River to reorganize the army.

At the same time, he heard that Liu Bei had withdrawn his troops from Chaisang and returned to Changsha after hearing the news of the demise of the Wu Kingdom.

The ship approached the dock, and Yuan Xi took Master Bu Lian on board first. When they passed by Sun Quan, he said, "This is Madam Bu."

Sun Quan didn't understand and looked bewildered. Yuan Xi felt bored. He thought that even the Minotaur in front of him had to let the other party know the truth. Wasn't he just talking to a cow?
