The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 454 Sun Quan's Melancholy
When Liu Chan, Shi Guangyuan and others were discussing how to attack Sun Quan's various armies, Sun Quan seemed to have a feeling in his heart.

Sun Quan suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath for no reason.The air in this handsome tent, which is the most spacious and most luxuriously decorated in the entire army, seemed to have suddenly become extremely dull, making him feel as if he was about to suffocate.

Sun Quan's tall figure suddenly stood up from his seat, and the wide hem of the black official uniform on his body shook violently.

Sun Quan suddenly wanted to go outside to get some air, and a feeling of uneasiness arose spontaneously.He immediately dropped the pen in his hand, regardless of the unfinished official documents on the table, and strode towards the curtain of the handsome tent.

The guards standing inside the door immediately lifted the curtain for Sun Quan.Although the bright spring sun outside did not shine into the station, her bright halo still entered the tent along the door curtain, leaving an irregular faint white shadow on the ground.

Sun Quan walked out.In the spring day outside, there was still slightly cool and humid air rushing towards him.It made the pores on his face, which was tense due to the nervous handling of official documents after being bored in the tent for a long time, seem to open all of a sudden.

This feeling is really wonderful, the cold wind makes his face feel a little tingling, but it feels very refreshing, as if a pair of jade hands are gently massaging his face.

Sun Quan couldn't help but took a deep breath, and then exhaled all the turbid air accumulated in his chest.

This day happened to be Ling Tong, the general in command of the pro-guards, who was on duty.Ling Tong was tall and tall, with a pair of bushy eyebrows, making his eyes rather sharp.He was dressed in a red shirt with armor on the outside and a sword on his belt, making him look mighty and extraordinary.

Seeing the lord coming from the tent, Ling Tong held onto the hilt of his sword with one hand, trotted up to Sun Quan, saluted and smiled, "See you, lord."

Sun Quan hummed, and glanced over Ling Tong.At this time, his father was killed by Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, the general who saved his life, now he looks so heroic.

The bright and sincere smile on Ling Tong's face seemed to make the spring sun outside even brighter.Sun Quan's heart also felt a lot more relaxed.

Sun Quan said, "Are you still on duty today?"

Ling Tong nodded and said, "That's right. The weather today is really good. If my lord wants to walk around to get some fresh air, Tong can bring a few guards with him?"

Sun Quan smiled, and couldn't help but thank Ling Tong for his iron filings.But he still waved his hand and said, "No, I'll just stand outside here for a while, and you can go about your business."

Ling Tong obeyed, then turned and left.

Ling Tong lowered his head and didn't go far, when suddenly he heard someone calling his name.

Ling Tong immediately stopped and looked up, and by coincidence, he met Kan Ze Kan Derun who came to look for Sun Quan.

Although Kan Ze's figure is slightly thinner, he is dressed in black clothes, but he looks energetic when he walks, without any dejection of a literati.Of course, this Kan Ze has always been known for being shrewd and capable.

However, to be honest in Ling Tong's heart, he did not welcome this Kan Ze very much.At least, he didn't seem very happy about meeting Kan Ze in his heart.

Because, when Ling Tongtong saw Kan Ze greeted him so enthusiastically, with such a warm smile on his face, he knew a little bit that this guy was probably going to make friends with him again and pry him out of his mouth. There is news about the lord Sun Quan.

But, alas, Ling Tong couldn't help sighing inwardly, he couldn't be too rude in front of a celebrity like Kan Ze, otherwise the one who suffers and gets scolded will always be himself, a warrior!
Ling Tong forced a smile on his face, greeted Kan Ze, cupped his hands and asked, "Mr. Kan, what a coincidence that I ran into you again!"

Kan Ze smiled again, and said back: "Yes, it's such a coincidence, maybe this is fate. Today is Gongji, you are on duty with the lord, right?"

Ling Tong secretly sighed, this guy really came to greet him with a purpose.He nodded and said, "That's right. If Mr. Kan comes to discuss matters with the lord, the lord is outside Xingyuanshuai's tent right now! After you pass by, you can see it. Then, I will take my leave first."

Ling Tongyi cupped his hands and started to leave immediately.It's a pity that Kan Ze didn't want to let him leave safely like this, which shows that this person is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Kan Ze stretched out his hand to hold Ling Tong's arm, and said with a smile, "Gongji, don't leave in such a hurry. According to my lord's temperament, he should be buried in official documents now. Why did he suddenly go out of the tent? Did something happen?"

Ling Tong got a little impatient with being entangled by Kan Ze, he gently broke free from Kan Ze's hand, and said, "Oh Mr. Kan, what's the matter with my lord, how can I, a little general, know? If you really If you want to know the whole story, you can ask the lord yourself!"

Kan Ze still asked reluctantly: "My lord, I will naturally ask. But before I ask, I should know something about the situation first, right? How is my lord feeling now?"

Ling Tong frowned, this Mr. Kan Ze really made him feel a bit too much.

Ling Tong had no choice but to pull Kan Ze to his side, leaned slightly, and whispered in Kan Ze's ear: "After my lord walked out of the camp, I took a deep breath first, and then let out a deep breath, what do you say?" How is he feeling?"

Kan Ze gave a long hum and nodded, his expression seemed to be quite meaningful.When he regained his composure and wanted to continue questioning Ling Tong, he suddenly found that there was no ghost of Ling Tong around him.

Kan Ze turned around and looked forward, but only saw Ling Tong's tall and hurried figure casting a long unsteady shadow on the ground under the sunlight of spring.

Kan Ze couldn't help muttering, "What's the matter with this person today? Why can't he even say a few words properly?"

Then, Kan Ze turned to Ling Tong loudly and asked him where he was going now.He had no idea that Ling Tong walked away in such a hurry just to avoid him.

Ling Tong definitely heard Kan Ze's shout, but he didn't even stop for a moment, he just stretched out his hand and waved it behind him, and then continued to walk forward quickly.

Kan Ze sighed, and said, "Young people these days really can't hold back! I'd better go find the lord first."

When Kan Ze came to Sun Quan's tent, he saw the tall Sun Quan standing alone outside the tent.

Kan Ze walked over quickly and greeted Sun Quan softly.

When Sun Quan saw that it was Kan Ze, whom he had always been close to, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and asked, "Derun, why are you free to come to see Gu now? What's the matter?"

Kan Ze smiled slightly and said, "Ze has nothing to do here, I just want to come and see the lord."

Sun Quan nodded, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who still remembers loneliness in your heart... There is a bit lonely in his voice and tone.

Kan Ze rarely saw Sun Quan like this, so he asked, "What's on your mind, my lord?"

Sun Quan turned around and sighed: "Derun, Sun Jing has written to Gu, saying that his supply of food and grass has begun to be a little tight, so Gu should quickly capture Jiangling City and end this war of ownership of Jingzhou."

Kan Ze snorted, and now Sun Jing is staying at the rear, presiding over military and political affairs in Moling.But this person's current health is not very good, and now in order to raise food and grass for the army, I am afraid that he will have to work very hard.

Kan Ze then sighed again: "Judging from the current situation of the enemy and our armies, our army thought that it would not be able to defeat the enemy for a long time, and its morale had already declined. On the other hand, the Jingzhou army's current morale is gradually recovering. It’s not very optimistic for our army if it goes up and down.”

Sun Quan nodded, and said: "De Run is right. If our army can't capture Jiangling City as soon as possible, I'm afraid we can only take part temporarily."

Kan Ze never expected that Sun Quan would say this, this is such a big deal!Not only did they lose their soldiers and generals when they went out this time, would they also return empty-handed?

Kan Ze hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, you can't. If our army retreats here, how will you explain to those soldiers who died in battle!"

Sun Quan nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, how can I explain to them and their families!"

Kan Ze stared blankly at the protagonist in front of him who was two heads taller than him.He suddenly realized that the body of the lord in front of him looked a little thin.

Kan Ze's mood suddenly became quite sad.The one in front of me is in charge of Jiangdong, and even with Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops suppressing the border, he was still determined to fight to the death, and finally achieved a great victory in the Battle of Chibi.

But now that times have changed, I originally thought that Guan Yu's Northern Expedition could be used to take Nanjun in one fell swoop.But after killing Guan Yu, why did the situation become even more pessimistic?
Kan Ze had no choice but to comfort Sun Quan: "My lord, don't be sad because of these trivial matters. The so-called planning is up to people to make things happen, so don't blame yourself too much and put too much pressure on yourself!"

Sun Quan nodded movedly, and said, "Derun, thank you very much. Only in front of you can I talk about my own thoughts!"
