The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 105
A celebration banquet broke up unhappy.

Sun Quan jumped into a rage, and yelled loudly at Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin and others who rushed over after hearing the news.Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong frowned, sat aside without speaking, Zhuge Jin hugged Sun Quan's waist tightly, and Teng Dan tried to persuade him.Sun Quan tried his best to get rid of Zhuge Jin and Teng Dan, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gu, this unworthy son wasted all my efforts. Did you do that? Did you? He still reads the scriptures, what did he read?" The fart, did you read it all into the dog’s stomach?”

Gu Yong frowned, and just as he was about to get up to persuade Zhang Zhao, his face darkened, he got up from the table, stood in front of Sun Quan, cupped his hands, and said straightly: "My lord, forgive me for being so shameless. Not in Sun Shao, but in Gan Ning."

Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhao angrily, and sneered, "Mr. Zhang is defending his disciple?"

Zhang Zhao's white eyebrows trembled, and he said in protest: "There is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king humiliated his ministers to death, the father hated the son, Gan Ning was impudent after drinking, and was rude to the general who challenged the rebellion. As a son of man, Sun Shao should be like this. If he doesn't If you dare to stand up, you will read the scriptures into the stomach of a dog."

"You..." Sun Quan choked.He glared at Zhang Zhao, but he couldn't find any suitable words to refute. Gan Ning was indeed at fault for what happened today, and it was only natural for Sun Shao to fight back. His words directly pushed him back, which made him unacceptable.What Zhang Zhao said was reasonable, but now Zhang Zhao's attitude was worse than Sun Shao's, which made him even more annoyed, no matter how reasonable he was, he couldn't listen to it.He turned around angrily, giving Zhang Zhao his back and his hands clenched tightly because of his anger.

Zhang Zhao was also furious, striding forward to Sun Quan, shaking his beard and wanting to say something again, Teng Dan rushed up, bowed and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Zhang, please be angry, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Zhao ignored him at all. He stretched out his hand to push him away, stared at Sun Quan and said loudly: "The veteran thought that Sun Shao not only did a good job, but also understood the general situation. Gan Ning humiliated his father as a son, if Sun Shao disregarded the overall situation, he should directly challenge him .”

Sun Quan was so angry that he rolled his eyes. This dead old man, who keeps saying that he is an old minister, really thinks of himself as his father?He snorted in dissatisfaction, and winked at Teng Dan and Zhuge Jin, signaling them to drag Zhang Zhao out, otherwise he couldn't help but get mad at Zhang Zhao.Teng Dan didn't dare to neglect, he and Zhuge Jin dragged Zhang Zhao away.Although Zhang Zhao was angry, his physical strength was no match for these two, so he was dragged out of the big tent, flicked his sleeves angrily, and left without looking back.

"This..." Sun Quan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed to the outside of the tent and said to Gu Yong, "Gu Gong, this... this is really the same for teachers and students." Suddenly there was a scream outside the tent, and then, the tent door was thrown open abruptly, and a figure rushed in. Sun Quan was furious, and was about to reprimand this reckless person who had entered without saying anything, when he took a closer look, he saw again. Swallowing back the words that came to his lips, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Sun Shangxiang was even hotter than Sun Quan. She brandished the ring sword in her hand and roared, "Didn't Gan Ning humiliate my elder brother?"

Sun Quan secretly complained, what's the matter today, what a great thing it was to win the battle, but because of Gan Ning's words, so many disasters were caused, just by looking at the girl, he knew that Sun Shao must be a challenger when he goes back. Woe.One Sun Shao is already troublesome enough, and now adding such a younger sister, alas, today's matter has become a big deal.

"So it's true?" Sun Shangxiang's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he turned his head and walked out: "This bastard, he's been terrified, and he hasn't settled with Sun Jiao for bullying him last time, and now he's bullying him again. Aman's head is on the head. My mother will chop him off now."

"Oh, stop her." Sun Quan stomped his feet, rushed out of the big tent, and shouted at the stunned officials.Zhou Xun reacted first, and stopped in front of Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang pointed with a long knife and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will cut you off first."

As soon as he spoke, Sun Quan had already arrived, grabbed the saber in Sun Shangxiang's hand, and shouted anxiously, "Are you crazy? If you don't go to persuade Feng first, it's fine, why do you want to make trouble?"

Sun Shangxiang was furious, pointing at Sun Quan's nose and yelling: "Are you still talking about me? You, the Lord of Jiangdong, did a good job. Brother was humiliated face to face, but you, the Lord of Jiangdong, didn't say a word. In turn, you blamed Aman for not saying anything." Obedient? Ah, do you want him to humiliate his late father, can you still be so happy?"

Sun Quan was baffled, when was I happy?He looked at Sun Shangxiang who was like a shrew, and felt that there was nothing to reason with her, so he directly ordered someone to take her back to the big tent.Sun Shangxiang stomped her feet and cursed loudly, and the curse echoed in the camp for a long time.

"This matter..." Sun Quan shook his head straight, sitting in front of the desk in extreme depression, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the fist of "Peng" hit the desk, and the mountains of official documents on the desk shook twice, sighing. It fell down and scattered all over the place.

"My lord, what's the point of this? It's just a joke, why...how did this happen?" Zhuge Jin rushed back again, trying to persuade him repeatedly.He had just married Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Cheng had just been reused, so he didn't want to see Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan fall out.

"Is this Gu's fault?" Sun Quan raised his head and glared at Zhuge Jin.Zhuge Jin choked, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to say anything.Unconvinced, Sun Quan looked at Teng Dan again, and Teng Dan was also very embarrassed. Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong again: "Gu Gong, is this my fault?"

"Yes." Gu Yong looked calm, nodded, and said with a more emphatic tone: "It's the Supreme Being's fault."

"What?" Sun Quan's mood that had just calmed down a little bit suddenly became frightened again.

Gu Yong was unmoved, and remained calm: "Gan Ning deserves rewards and celebrations for his meritorious service, but he shouldn't drink too much. This is one of them. Gan Ning humiliated and challenged the general, and Sun Shao angrily It is also reasonable to challenge Gan Ning, he did not challenge Gan Ning, but crossed the river to Cao Ying to challenge, considering his temperament, it is already commendable. At this time, the Supreme Being really should not favor Gan Ning, blame Sun Shao intensified the conflict. This is the second."

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, he could hear Gu Yong's dissatisfaction, but he didn't want to explain, he couldn't explain.Now there is a big war, so what if you don't favor these generals?Gan Ning had just come back from the camp after risking his life, and the morale of Zhang Liao had been greatly boosted. Could it be that he blamed him for a slip of the tongue at this time?He was like a mirror in his heart, Gu Yong said that, it seemed to be defending Sun Shao, but he was actually taking the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart. Scholars like them would never take a martial artist like Gan Ning seriously.

It's really difficult, the Lord of Jiangdong, the Lord of Jiangdong, who would have thought that he, the Lord of Jiangdong, would be so useless.Why doesn't he want to keep his word and follow his orders, but he must have enough strength.Compared with the time when he first took over, although the situation in Jiangdong has improved a lot in the past few years, it is still far from a promise.To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. Now that the Cao army is coming in menacingly, what kind of battle can we fight if we don't rely on these generals?Could it be that Cao Cao can be repelled by you scholars?I'm afraid that the only thing you can get out is to surrender the book.

Sun Quan was very wronged, his expression was gloomy, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"My lord, the current matter is not a question of who is right and who is wrong, how to appease Sun Shao is the most important thing." Seeing that Gu Yong was about to break up with Sun Quan again, Zhuge Jin quickly smoothed things over.Sun Quan shook his head with a wry smile, and after a moment of silence he asked, "How is he?"

"He's still arguing in the tent to go to Cao Ying to challenge him. He scolded...all the generals." Zhuge Jin shook his head and couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Speaking of which, he still What guts."

Sun Quan scoffed. "Fart's guts, he just lost his head, thinking that fighting is a private fight, and there is nothing else but a one-on-one fight."

"My lord, why don't you let him go?" Teng Dan who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

"What?" Sun Quan glanced at Teng Dan in surprise, then shook his head again and again: "No, no. My brother only has this little flesh and blood, how can he give it to Cao Cao for nothing. No way, no way."

"If you don't let him go, how can you calm him down?" Teng Dan's eyes flickered, appearing surprisingly calm.

Sun Quan pinched his eyebrows and scratched his head. He knew Sun Shao's temper. If he was not allowed to go to Cao Ying, he would definitely trouble Gan Ning again. But if he was allowed to go to Cao Ying, how would he see his dead brother in the future? ?

"Madam Qiao, please come." Gu Yong said suddenly: "Sun Shao is very filial, he will definitely listen to Madam Qiao's words."

Sun Quan's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, then nodded lightly: "That's the only way. Ziyu, you go there yourself immediately."

"Here." Zhuge Jin bowed his head and obeyed.

"Are you really going to Cao Ying?" Guan Feng got into the quilt, put his arms around Sun Shao's neck, and asked softly.

Sun Shao's voice was a little hoarse, and the yelling just now almost broke his throat.But now he is not excited at all, on the contrary he looks very calm, he glanced at Guan Feng, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, thought for a while and said: "Yes."

"why?"

"You think Cao Ying is dangerous?" Sun Shao smiled disdainfully: "In my opinion, this camp is even more dangerous."

"You made a big fuss just to get out of here?" Guan Fengruo realized something.

"It's not just like that." Sun Shao turned half of his body, hugged Guan Feng face to face, and pressed her tightly against his chest. The protrusion suddenly changed, Guan Feng turned her head in embarrassment to prevent Sun Shao from seeing her blushing face.Sun Shao smiled, put his mouth on Guan Feng's jade-like ear, and said in an inaudible voice: "I want to go to Cao Ying to see what Cao Gong is like, and see if I can also ask for a license. certificate, let me not pay taxes when I go to the Central Plains to do business.”

Guan Feng was tickled by his blowing, but she didn't speak. She felt that Sun Shao was not telling the truth, and this reason was not a reason at all.

Sun Shao felt Guan Feng's suspicion, but he didn't intend to explain it. If he explained too much, Guan Feng couldn't believe it. After all, the less people know about his thoughts, the better.

"If you encourage aunt to make a fuss, it will make a big fuss." Guan Feng was silent for a moment, and changed the subject.

"Since the trouble is getting bigger, let's make it bigger." Sun Shao didn't think so, put his face on Guan Feng's neck and sniffed it, and said comfortably: "He is afraid that I will make friends with the generals, so I will just do it in front of him." Scolding them face to face, let him feel at ease, so as not to always be suspicious."

"It's too late." Guan Feng sighed softly, pulled the quilt up, and closed his eyes. Sun Shao thought she was asleep, but after a while, she suddenly said: "I really want to go to Cao Ying If you want to challenge, ride the red rabbit that your father gave you. Zhang Liao has a lot of Bingzhou cavalry under his command, and they are not easy to deal with. The red rabbit horse is fast and powerful, and can take advantage."

Guan Yu has a red rabbit horse, which is a very rare good horse. It is of pure blood from the Western Regions Tianma. It used to be Wen Hou Lu Bu's mount.When Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in Xiaopei, he once asked Cao Cao for Mrs. Du, and Cao Cao had already agreed to him, but later Cao Cao took a fancy to Mrs. Du, broke his promise, felt a little embarrassed, and took Lu Bu's red rabbit The horse was rewarded to Guan Yu as compensation.This red rabbit horse is old, but it left offspring. When Guan Feng got married, Guan Yu gave her one of the best horses.

"En." Sun Shao replied vaguely, and it is not known if he heard it.Guan Feng waited for a while, and was about to ask him, but Sun Shao said with a smile: "Father-in-law gave me a war horse with the blood of Tianma, and I must give him a pure Tianma in the future."

"You mean what you say." Guan Feng joked with a smile.

"Definitely." Sun Shao rubbed Guan Feng's neck, and said with a smirk, "Madam, are you going to thank me first?"

"Duh." I don't know what Sun Shao did, Guan Feng suddenly twisted his body, his little face flushed suddenly.

The next day, Cao Cao, who was furious and angry, ordered a fierce attack. The army's offensive was like a tide, and the Jiangdong army who stayed in the north of the river was beaten into a mess. Sun Quan received the report and did not dare to neglect. Fight back with all your might.The Jiangdong army in the field battle on the plain was not Cao Jun's opponent. They fought and retreated. Almost all the main forces gave up the Jiangbei defense line and retreated to Jiangnan.The focus of the battlefield began to focus on the competition for Ruxuwu in Jiangxinzhou.

Ruxuwu is a city that was built only in the 17th year of Jian'an. There was no city on Jiangxinzhou, it was just an open space, and the place was not big.In the 17th year of Jian'an, Lu Meng resisted all opinions and proposed to build a fortification on Jiangxinzhou to guard this strategic point, and Sun Quan agreed.Because it is also the estuary where Ruxu water enters the river, it is also called Ruxuwu.When Cao Cao attacked Wu in the 18th year of Jian'an, he fought a battle in Ruxuwu. The newly built wall of the dock played an unexpected role, like an iron lock, tightly locked the Yangtze River ferry, making Cao Cao useless And back.Ruxuwu has become a strategic location on the defense line of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Sun Quan tasted the sweetness, and this time he took Ruxuwu as the focus of defense. He sent Lu Meng to sit in Ruxuwu himself, and placed [-] crossbows on it, so that Cao's army could not cross the river.

The two sides fought in Ruxuwu for a long time. Cao Hui lost more than 3000 people, but he didn't even touch the edge of Ruxuwu.After a day of fighting, the river was almost dyed red, and the smashed warships and the remains of fallen soldiers could be seen everywhere. Although the south bank of the river was much calmer, when the drums that had been ringing all day stopped, everyone was relieved. tone.

As night fell, Sun Quan, who had been watching the battle all day, dragged his tired body back to the big tent, ready to sleep comfortably and take a good rest, but unexpectedly, he encountered a frosty bridge head-on.

Sun Quan was surprised and delighted. Daqiao never took the initiative to meet him. He deliberately sent Sun Shaozhi to Chengdu for several months and rewarded countless items. The reason for Shao's marriage was a rare meeting.

"Sister-in-law..."

As soon as Sun Quan's words came out of his mouth, Daqiao interrupted him coldly: "I am not your sister-in-law, and you are not the younger brother of the general who seeks rebellion."

Sun Quan blushed immediately, and swallowed in embarrassment, Gu Li, who followed closely behind him, immediately drove all the people around him away, and stepped aside himself.In a moment, there was an empty step in front of the big tent.

Daqiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and Sun Quan's heart ached when he saw it. Before Sun Quan could understand, she fell to the ground with a plop, pulled out the hairpin from her head, and let the hair full of black hair pour down on the ground. She bowed to the ground, kowtowed her head continuously, and cried bitterly, as if she was crazy. She was so different from her usual self, which made Sun Quan stunned. For a moment, he couldn't believe that everything he saw was true.This is still the dignified and glamorous bridge, it is clearly a tigress protecting the calf, Sun Quan was even a little worried that the bridge would pounce on him and bite him, so he took two steps back involuntarily.

Daqiao didn't care to feel Sun Quan's surprise and fear. She cried and said: "The Supreme One wants to kill Aman, but the concubine dare not stop him. I just ask the Supreme Being to show mercy and let the concubine die before him. When I go to Jiuquan, I will tell my lord Husband, ask him for lax discipline..."

Sun Quan was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and then realized that these words should not be said in front of outsiders, he quickly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said with some pleading: "Sister-in-law, where did you come from?" How could I want to kill Aman? I was afraid that he would have an accident, so I sent someone to invite my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, it’s inconvenient to talk here, please enter the account before we talk.”

Daqiao ignored him at all, raised his face full of tears, and cursed at the top of his voice: "You don't want to kill him. Could it be that he can't do it by himself? Gan Ning has been fighting for many years, and he has to bring more than 100 warriors to dare to attack, but you Let him go to Cao Ying alone to challenge, don’t you want to kill him? Are you giving him credit? Cao Cao kills like hemp, and Cao’s army is like a cloud of brave generals. Which one is not a hero who has fought for many years? You let him be a child who has just grown up To challenge, how can you bear it..."

Daqiao was crying and cursing, his voice was vague, but full of anger and heartache, combined with the tears on his face and the blood and mud on his forehead, it made people look distressed. "He used to go to war...you said you cherished his...life, you were so bored...he was bored at home and almost died of anger. Now he has turned around with great difficulty and doesn't want to be an official anymore. Why did you want him to come to Jianye to be a shitty official, to be bullied and looked down upon by others, and now to have someone humiliate his father to his face on purpose, to force him to die in Caoying, you...you are a good uncle Ah... Husband, take a look at the Spirit of Heaven, this is the younger brother you admire the most..."

Sun Quan was so embarrassed by her scolding that his face turned red and white. Some of what Daqiao said was indeed his true thoughts. For example, he used to suppress Sun Shao and prevent him from leading troops. Wu County brought him to Jianye, and now he has brought him to the camp. These are all true, and he has not been wronged. But, my God, it is not that he wants to take Sun Shao to Caoying to challenge him this time, that is ...That was really a misunderstanding.

Sun Quan felt very wronged, but he didn't know where to start to defend himself. Daqiao, who was crying so hard, didn't even give him a chance to defend himself. When Sun Shao went to die, he insisted that Sun Quan only cared about his own status, and insisted on killing Sun Ce's only bone.For another woman, he had already ordered her to be dragged out, and it was possible to kill her with a knife.But facing the figure that has been lingering in his heart for more than ten years, facing the bridge who has always been gentle and gentle for more than ten years, but today looks like a shrew, he can't give this order no matter what, and can only turn around in anger , I can't wait to drag someone over and let him chop twice to relieve the depression in my chest.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bu and Guan Feng rushed over after hearing the news, and dragged away the disheveled bridge. Sun Quan was relieved, but the depression in his heart was still hard to get rid of. He called Zhou Xun, who was expressionless, with a sullen face He asked, "Where is Feng Xian?"

"I heard it's in the supply camp."

"What are you doing in the supply camp?"

"With a saddle." Zhou Xun's face was a little weird, he hesitated for a moment and said: "It seems that he really intends to cross the river to Cao Ying to challenge, not only prepared the horse and armor, but also dragged Gan Yu on."

"Gan Yu?" Sun Quan was even more annoyed, this matter was caused by Gan Ning, and my business is not over yet, so why does this son join in the fun?Sun Quan looked around, but did not see Gan Yu's shadow, and then remembered that he was not on duty today: "What's wrong with him?"

"Sun Shao went to look for him. For some reason, he persuaded him to go to Cao Ying with Sun Shao to challenge Zhang Liao."

"Nonsense!" Sun Quan's face was livid, and his hands were shaking with anger: "Go, call me these two sticks."

Gan Yu came soon, bowed his head and said nothing, but it could be seen from his tightly biting lips that it was not so easy to make him change his mind.Without further ado, Sun Quan sent someone to find Gan Ning and asked him to take his son back and discipline him.After a short time, the people who went there came back and said that General Gan said that if Sun Shao really dared to challenge Cao Jun’s camp in Jiangbei, Gan Guan would go with him, and told him not to lose face of Lao Tzu. Courageous, his son Gan Ning is not a coward.

Sun Quan heard that something was wrong, he stepped in front of Gan Yu, slapped him with his hands, and cursed: "Zhuzi, what's going on, tell me quickly? Otherwise, don't go to Caoying, I'll kill you right now." about you."

Gan Yu blushed and stammered for a long time, but didn't say a word. Finally, he was forced to be anxious, and he shouted regardless: "If the Supreme will not allow me to cross the river, please ask the Supreme to give me death. Gan Yu Never frown. Gan Yu would rather die under the knife of the Supreme, than to weaken my father's reputation and be laughed at by others."
