Chapter 429 Ding Feng, old thief!

Wu State, Jianye.

General Ding Feng, the bandit-suppressing general, sat in his mansion, looking at the letter in his hand, and then at the messenger in front of him.

In this era, it is very common for countries to exchange letters with each other.

The same is true of the interactions among ministers.

Ding Feng was not surprised that the letter from Wei State was delivered to him. What surprised him was that the people of Wei State actually wanted to murder him.

Ding Feng was not really a big shot in the Wu Kingdom. Although his qualifications and military achievements were formidable, the Three Kingdoms were a country where people were judged by their backgrounds. It was difficult for someone like him, who came from a commoner background and started out as a soldier, to be compared with the big shots in the temple.

Ding Feng put the letter away and asked in surprise, "Why do the ministers of Cao Wei want to kill me?"

"Do they also know my reputation?"

The messenger who came to deliver the letter was very surprised and asked, "Why do they want to kill you?"

"My general sincerely wishes to work with you to accomplish great things."

Ding Feng shook his head. "How could Sun Yi not know what kind of person I am? How could I have become a traitor like him?"

"You want to use this letter to force the imperial court to kill me. Why would so many important officials and generals in the court deal with me first?"

The envoy wanted to explain, but Ding Feng directly ordered someone to arrest him.

Then he put away the letter and asked someone to prepare the carriage.

His confidant hurriedly asked, "General, are you going to see Sun Chen?"

"Of course. How could I not inform the general when a thief comes to deliver a letter?"

At this moment, Sun Chen, after temporarily calming the situation, directly took the position of general, becoming the youngest general in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

The confidant immediately said, "General, Sun Chen is a cruel and ruthless man with no strategy. He is murderous and suspicious. If we send this letter to him, won't he be afraid of us?"

"I think it's better to just burn the letter and pretend nothing happened."

Ding Feng sneered.

General Sun Chen can be said to be the most despised general in the history of Eastern Wu.

Outside, everyone calls him by his first name.

From generals to ministers, no one was convinced by him. After he came to power, the emperor's status did rise, and the ministers went to pay homage to the emperor from time to time, but they just didn't go to pay homage to him, Sun Chen.

Ding Feng said, "How could I not know the character of the butcher Sun Chen?"

"However, Cao Cao wants to harm me, so he must have made all the preparations. If I burn the letter now, it will be hard to explain. It is better to show it to him directly to prove my loyalty. Maybe there will be a way out."

The confidant had no choice but to agree to this matter.

Ding Feng led a few people, got on the car, and then hurried towards the general's mansion.

But when he arrived at the general's mansion, he found that Sun Chen was not there. The servant didn't even let him in, but just asked him to wait outside.

At this moment, Sun Chen was in the palace.

The Eastern Wu Emperor Sun Liang sat on the throne, looking at the unruly new general in front of him.

Sun Liang's chest kept heaving. He had never suffered such injustice before.

Although Zhuge Ke and Sun Jun were powerful ministers at the time, they were both very respectful to the emperor. Even Sun Jun never behaved disrespectfully in front of the emperor.

But Sun Chen was different. Today, Sun Chen came before the emperor in a carefree manner and immediately asked the emperor to issue an edict to let his several younger brothers take up important positions and to confer them the title of marquis.

He wanted to make all his brothers marquises and use them to control the army.

His commanding tone immediately angered the young emperor Sun Liang.

Sun Liang glared at Sun Chen.

Sun Chen didn't care at all. In his eyes, the emperor was just a toy.

"General, why did you kill the royal family without informing the court?!"

"What happened to General Sun Yi?! Why was I the last to know?!"

Sun Liang immediately questioned.

Sun Chen said somewhat displeasedly, "Sun Yi is plotting a rebellion. If we inform Your Majesty before dealing with him, wouldn't that be letting this villain get away?"

"So where is he now?"

Sun Liang asked again.

Sun Chen was immediately furious. He was about to curse, but when he saw the unfriendly looks from several soldiers around him, he snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing Sun Chen walking away, Sun Liang was almost mad with anger.

He gritted his teeth, watched Sun Chen leave, and then cursed: "You bastard! I will kill you!!"

When Sun Chen walked out of here, several younger brothers were waiting for him.

"Brother, what's the situation?"

Sun En asked.

"The emperor didn't agree!"

"Then the general should just give the order himself! Why listen to a little brat?"

"If he doesn't obey, we will destroy him!"

If Sun Chen was like this, his younger brothers would naturally be even more aggressive. Sun Chen got on the car and discussed with them how to deal with the emperor. When he arrived at his mansion, he met Ding Feng head-on.

"General Ding?"

Sun Chen asked his younger brothers to leave first, and then took Ding Feng on foot towards his study.

"General, you are here, but do you have any instructions?"

Sun Chen was somewhat expectant. After he became the general, few ministers came to pay him a visit, and the same was true for the generals. This made Sun Chen very angry.

He was very happy that Ding Feng could come. He was thinking whether he should let Ding Feng be the left general or something.

The two of them walked into the study, and Ding Feng carefully took out the letter and handed it to Sun Chen.

"General, this is what Cao Cao's messenger brought today. It's a letter from Sun Yi. We must coordinate internal and external forces."

Sun Chen's face became very gloomy. He looked at the letter in his hand and was very angry.

"Sun Yi, you bastard! I shouldn't have let you get away in the first place!"

Ding Feng lowered his head and didn't say much.

Sun Chen put away the letter and stared at Ding Feng in front of him. "Why would he write to you? What is your relationship with him?!"

"At first, I didn't know the evil of this thief, and we drank together."

After hearing Ding Feng's words, the anger on Sun Chen's face disappeared a little.

"Forget it, I'll forgive you this time. Don't do it again next time, or I will definitely not forgive you."

"I obey your orders, thank you, General."

Ding Feng immediately made a decision at this moment. If he wanted to revitalize the Great Wu, he had to find a way to get rid of this person.

This person is simply unreasonable. How could he fall for such an obvious divisive scheme?

If I hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't even have the chance to explain!
At this moment, Ding Feng also understood why the newly appointed General Shi Ji wanted to collude with the people of Shu.

Shi Ji, whose original name was Zhu Ji, was the son of Zhu Ran, Marquis of Dangyang. He later changed back to his father's original surname, Shi.

He was a general of the Wu State. He had fought for many years and made great contributions. He was mainly responsible for the defense of Jingzhou and was an old rival of Wang Chang. After Lu Ju's death, Sun Chen appointed him as the General of Cavalry, intending to appease him.

Many people noticed him and wanted to use him to get rid of Sun Chen.

But Shi Ji did not agree. Not only did he not agree, but when Ding Feng wrote to him, he actually sent someone to inform him that the Wu Kingdom was likely to perish and that he was thinking of defecting to the Shu Kingdom.

Ding Feng couldn't understand Shi Ji at the time and thought he was probably crazy, but now he understood.

I overestimated Sun Chen.

Sun Chen rudely drove Ding Feng out, and then summoned his brothers again to continue discussing how to deal with the emperor.

Sun Chen's younger brothers believed that they could not fully control the military power now because Lu Ju's influence had not dissipated.

Lu Ju's good friends are still in the court, so he must find a way to get rid of his old friends so that he can have complete control over the army.

As for how to get rid of these generals, Sun Chen came up with a great idea.

Give them a small number of troops and let them defeat Guanqiu Jian!

Ding Feng hurried back to the mansion and immediately prepared to contact his friends to find a way to get rid of the thief. However, what he didn't know was that there were more than one letter targeting him, and the truly fatal letter was still to come.

The situation in the entire Wu State suddenly became tense.

Emperor Sun Liang and General Sun Chen almost broke off relations. Sun Chen forcibly appointed his younger brothers as generals and captains, making them responsible for the security of the imperial palace and even the imperial city, and constantly taking back military power. At the same time, he began to suppress the rest of the generals and even planned with them to let them attack the State of Wei.

Emperor Sun Liang was not idle either. In the following days, he continued to meet with ministers and look for loopholes in Sun Chen.

Want to eradicate his wings.

The ministers were terrified of Sun Chen's behavior, and many of them sided with the emperor.

It was at this time that Zhong Hui's chain of letters finally reached Sun Chen's hands.

On this day, Sun Chen's proposal was once again suppressed by the ministers. He was very angry and had just returned to his mansion when he saw the messenger who came to deliver the letter.

The letter came from Cao Wei, which surprised Sun Chen very much. This was the first time he received a letter from abroad.

When he opened the letter, he was shocked.

The writer of the letter was the son of Tao Qiuyi, the Grand Coachman of the State of Wei.

In the letter, the man accused Cao Wei of being immoral, saying that his father was wrongly accused and tragically killed in front of his ministers.
Sun Chen read it with great interest.

At the end, the writer changed the subject and said:

"General, Sun Yi came to Wei. I heard that His Majesty wanted him to handle important matters. It seems that he was looking for someone from Wu to harm you. Just a few days ago, that bastard Sun Yi was suddenly promoted and even made the Marquis of Wu. Perhaps their plan in Wu was successful!"

"I escaped the death penalty because of my mother, but was stripped of my official title. I can only learn about Cao's situation through some friends. I don't know exactly how he plans to deal with you. I just hope that the general will be careful and don't let Cao's evil plan succeed!!"

After reading the letter in his hand, Sun Chen's lips began to tremble.

He lowered his head and calculated the time until he would be rewarded.

"It's the perfect time for the messenger to return. Ding Feng, you bastard Ding Feng!!"

"How dare you bully me?!"

"Someone come! Prepare the troops!!"

P.S.: I’m already home, and I’m in full crazy mode! Can you guys support me with some monthly tickets?
