The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 189 Set sail to break the game
Guan Ping and Sun Huan rushed back to Wancheng at the same time, and the news they brought back were not consistent, but after thinking about it, the gap was not that big.Guan Ping told Guan Yu that the lord wanted to rescue him, but the army division was in the way. He refused to let the lord send troops to rescue him on the grounds that Sun Quan stationed troops in Chaisang to get involved in Yizhou.Sun Huan's news is better, saying that Sun Quan and Liu Bei are negotiating a joint army march, and once the two sides agree, they will send troops.

However, it has not yet been negotiated, Liu Bei is still in Jiangling, and Sun Quan is still in Chaisang.

Guan Yu was furious, and his hatred for Zhuge Liang could not be added.He has always disliked scholars, Zhuge Liang is one of the rare scholars who can make him not disgusted, but now Zhuge Liang has deceived him, and at the most critical moment, he stabbed him in the back the hardest.

If Guan Yu was more or less skeptical of Sun Shao's words at the beginning, now he has decided that Zhuge Liang is the most insidious guy, and what Sun Shao said is far from the truth makes him even more angry.

"Ask Fengxian if he has any way to get Sun Quan to leave Chaisang." Guan Yu suppressed his anger, and his face that was originally flushed turned livid.Guan Feng didn't dare to neglect, and hurried back to the mansion to find Sun Shao.As usual, Sun Shao was playing chess with Cao Ren.Cao Ren plays chess like soldiers, he is easy to use risky moves, and once he seizes the opportunity, he will chase and fight fiercely. This kind of killing method can defeat the strong with the weak or even a little taller than him. Otherwise, he may succeed in one blow, but he may also fail completely.

Sun Shao's chess skills are not much different from his, so the outcome is about the same. Today, he seized an opportunity to lure Cao Ren into the ambush circle, and killed Cao Ren. But the horse had no place to put it, and refused to admit defeat. He was still thinking hard, hoping to find Sun Shao's flaw and turn defeat into victory.That look of concentrating one's attention does not have the demeanor of a famous general who once galloped on the battlefield, no different from an old man playing chess on the street.Niu Jin and Cao Tai looked behind him and were anxious for him, but their chess skills were even worse, so they couldn't help at all.

Sun Shao was very relaxed. He hugged his legs and looked at Cao Ren's unyielding appearance with a calm smile on his face. Hearing Guan Feng's footsteps, he turned his head and glanced at Guan Feng. Seeing some clues, he nodded calmly and signaled her to wait in the room first.Guan Feng was very anxious, but he didn't dare to disturb Sun Shao's chess game, so he had to wait patiently.

Cao Ren still couldn't pull it back in the end, so he had to watch helplessly as Sun Shao pulled the horse out of his hand, and then checked him to death.He stared at Sun Shao for a long time, and finally he couldn't help laughing: "Zhu Zi, your chess is as insidious as yours, with a hidden needle in it, and designed traps specifically for the old man's chess moves, right?"

While playing with the chess pieces, Sun Shao said with a smile: "General, you are not being kind, are you? You have won so many games against me, and you are not allowed to win once? Besides, playing chess is like playing against each other. Isn't it time to study the opponent's tactics?"

Cao Ren nodded. While putting away the chess pieces, he glanced at Guan Feng who was waiting beside him, and said, "Of course we must study the opponent's tactics. However, the old man is just a general. Just lead the troops to fight. I have been riding under Mr. Cao for many years, and I have dealt with barbarians a lot, and I like to go straight, without so many twists and turns. I am really not used to meeting an opponent like you." He paused, and said the last The chess piece was rubbed in his hands for a long time: "You waited outside Fancheng for more than ten days, and finally broke through Fancheng in only an hour. Now you have stayed in Wancheng for a few months, shouldn't it be time for you to attack? gone?"

Sun Shao raised his eyelids, stared at Cao Ren, and smiled: "The general can't wait?"

Cao Ren didn't say anything, but his eyes showed that he had waited too long.Sun Shao rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, general, you will be able to reunite with Duke Cao within a month at most."

Cao Ren was silent for a moment, nodded, and got up to leave.

Guan Feng listened to Sun Shao's last words, and her nervousness suddenly eased. At the same time, she became a little more curious. As soon as Cao Ren went out, she came over and said, "Husband, do you have a solution?"

The corner of Sun Shao's mouth twitched, and instead of answering her, he asked instead, "Is Yuezhang in a hurry?"

Guan Feng's expression darkened, he nodded, and told the news that Guan Ping and Sun Huan had brought back, and finally looked at Sun Shao nervously: "Can you make Supreme leave Chaisang?"

Sun Shao laughed loudly: "Do you really think that Liu Bei will be able to send troops if he leaves Chaisang?"

Guan Feng hesitated to speak, Guan Ping said so, Guan Yu thought so, could they all be wrong?

"Don't worry, even if we don't do anything, they will rise up." Sun Shao stood up slowly and fiddled with his clothes: "They won't let Cao Cao eat us, and then force Jiangling again. "

"Then they will come?" Guan Feng showed delighted eyes.

"Of course they will come." Seeing Guan Feng's overjoyed look, Sun Shao added: "However, even if they arrive, they will not come to rescue us. They will wait for us to come after our disastrous defeat."

A few months ago, Guan Feng would definitely not believe what Sun Shao said, and she would definitely say that Sun Shao thought too badly of people like Guan Yu, but after these months of waiting, they knew that what Sun Shao said It's cruel, but it's true.

"Then what should we do?" The smile on Guan Feng's face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth drooped again, listlessly.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Sun Shao took Guan Feng's hand, walked slowly along the corridor, passed through the long narrow passage, and came to the fish pond in the backyard. The smile on the face of the cruising little fish is getting more and more incomprehensible.

"Everyone wants to do fishing, but they all forget one thing. Wancheng is not a fish pond, and we are not fish in the pond." Sun Shao said to himself: "How can we know who it is until the end? Who did you catch? Fishing is not only about bait, but also about patience. Do they have bigger baits than mine? Can they be more patient than me?"

"Husband, are you... not worried?" Seeing that Sun Shao didn't look worried at all, Guan Feng couldn't help being curious.

"What am I worried about?" Sun Shao asked back. He turned his head to look at Guan Feng, and suddenly felt joking: "Don't you know that Mr. Cao is going to marry me now? I'm not desperate, so why worry."

Guan Feng's face froze, her lips were a little pale, she bit her lower lip, endured it for a long time, and finally sighed: "I'm worrying too much, Mr. Cao has always favored your husband, of course he won't treat your husband I was forced to die." She said it calmly, but her heart was sour. Although she knew that Cao Cao was going to marry Sun Shao, but now that Sun Shao said it, she still felt a little uncomfortable. , as if it was once a treasure that belonged to me, but suddenly it was about to be shared by others.

"lady……"

"Don't talk about it." Guan Feng resisted the pain and turned around, not wanting Sun Shao to see the teardrops in her eyes, but the sobs in her voice could not be concealed: "I have known this day for a long time, my husband is like this!" Characters, how can I, Guan Feng, monopolize them."

Sun Shao was joking with her at first, but when he saw her like this, he couldn't bear to say it out, and thinking about Zhou Yu's matter, he had never been ashamed to tell her. He mentioned it again in Jianye, but now it was aroused by a joke, which really surprised him.He wanted to go forward to comfort Guan Feng, but he felt ashamed.Even without this marriage from the Cao family, wouldn't he be planning to take Zhou Yu as his concubine? He even thought that Zhou Yu should not be wronged too much and let Zhou Yu be a flat wife, but wouldn't that hurt Guan Feng even more? ?
It's annoying.

Sun Shao scratched his head a little, he didn't know how to comfort Guan Feng, so he just stood there, the atmosphere became very awkward for a moment.

In the end, Guan Feng was the first to recover. Her eyes were red, and she smiled unnaturally: "It's my concubine who lost her composure."

Sun Shao scratched his chin, smiled wryly and remained silent.If this kind of cheating happened in the previous life, I would be a Chen Shimei anyway, and I would be lucky not to be accused by thousands of people, how could I let the sufferer apologize first?But at this moment, he couldn't say a word of apology, so he could only talk about him: "What is Yue Zhang's plan now?"

"Father said that my lord can't go north because I'm worried about Zhizun. I hope my husband can find a way to transfer Zhizun away from Chaisang." When it came to business, Guan Feng raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears. He gradually recovered his composure, but his eyes were red. Red, the original rosy cheeks have lost their blood color, which makes people feel distressed.When Sun Shao saw it, his heart seemed to be pulled, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.After a while, he said: "I can transfer Zhizun away from Chaisang, but even if Liu Bei goes north, he may not really come to rescue him. Father-in-law should not be wishful thinking."

Guan Feng lowered his head and sniffled: "Husband, don't worry, father will not object to your marriage with Mr. Cao."

Sun Shao frowned, hesitated to speak, and only responded vaguely.It's useless to explain anything to Guan Feng at this time. Besides, he feels a little guilty about this matter, but in the eyes of others, it may not be his fault. Even in Guan Feng's eyes, she probably would She thinks that she has the virtue of losing a wife, and she will never blame him for being unfeeling. If he explains too much, it will only increase her anxiety.

"You tell Yue Zhang that Sun Quan will leave Chaisang soon, but please don't put all your hopes on Liu Bei. Even if he intends to save the siege, he may not be able to make full decisions about some things."

Guan Feng nodded. She also knew the role played by Zhuge Liang beside Liu Bei. Of course, what she didn't know was that although Zhuge Liang played a certain negative role, it was far less serious than what their father and daughter imagined.All of this was preconceived by them after listening to Sun Shao's words.

When Guan Yu received Guan Feng's report, his eyes flickered and he didn't speak for a long time.Sun Shao's words were very confident, but Guan Yu couldn't figure out where his confidence came from. Would Sun Quan obey Sun Shao's orders?But in the past few months, the situation has been developing according to Sun Shao's estimation, and Guan Yu, who is as arrogant as Guan Yu, dare not underestimate Sun Shao's opinion.If Liu Bei really still can't come to rescue the siege, Wancheng will have to rely on Sun Shao's mediation to break through the predicament. Whether he will succeed in the end or be ruined, all hopes rest on Sun Shao.

"Let's watch it." Guan Yu finally uttered three words.

……

Chaohu, the Aurora Naval Camp, Lou Chuan General Su Chuleg looked at Zhao Xiu who was standing with his sword and Yu Fan with drooping eyelids, his expression was very embarrassing.Sun Quan named him General Lou Chuan. He never informed Sun Shao of this matter, but he knew that Sun Shao must know, but Sun Shao never sent anyone to ask. It seemed that there was a wall between them suddenly. It made him gradually out of breath.Although no one said anything in front of him, Yu Fan and others who were very familiar with him inadvertently stopped coming to his tent, which made him feel uneasy due to suspicion.

He is ashamed.

It is the result of Sun Shao's plan that he can be what he is today. If Sun Shao hadn't given him a ship of ordnance, he would never have become the strongest pirate in the East China Sea. Without the assistance of Zhao Xiu and others in front of him, he would not have that If you have the courage to attack Houguan Shipyard, of course there will be no such general as today.Although it is said that Sun Shao also used him in this matter, in general, Sun Shao gave him more than he took away from him.

But he was blinded by a Louchuan general and Tangyi Tinghou, and betrayed Sun Shao.This is a very heavy psychological burden for Su Chugui, who has always prided himself on his loyalty.The cold silence of Yu Fan and others reminded him of his despicableness all the time, and the vague complaints of his subordinates also made him feel uncomfortable. The reason why Heiyu, the most trusted personal guard, was arranged by him The reason why he went to be a general of a hundred people was because he didn't dare to face Hei Yu's black face every day.

He never expected that Sun Shaohui would send Zhao Xiu here from Wancheng.Looking at Zhao Xiu, he really wanted to ask about Wancheng's situation, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he didn't seem to be qualified to ask.

"The situation in Wancheng is very critical." Zhao Xiu seemed to see through his mind, and smiled lightly: "However, the general is not worried."

Su's thick legs responded unnaturally: "Really?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiu smiled: "However, General Guan is very worried. In a few months, he has gained a lot of gray hair."

"General Guan?" Su Chu's legs trembled, and he raised his head subconsciously: "He... what's wrong with him?"

"General Guan rushed thousands of miles, broke through Xu County, and welcomed the emperor back to Wancheng. However, Xiahou Dun blocked the way back. Cao Cao led an army to rush there. He has been trapped in Wancheng for more than three months. Seeing that he is about to run out of food, Liu Bei because of The supreme garrison, Chai Sang, has the intention of going west, so he has never dared to go north to rescue." Zhao Xiu briefly described the situation in Wancheng, and finally said: "Whether Wancheng can be relieved, whether General Guan can turn the crisis into safety, and General Sun If you can't turn danger into a breeze, everything depends on General Henghai."

Zhao Xiu bowed and saluted the last few words clearly.This General Henghai was the official position that Su Chukui belonged to Sun Shao. Zhao Xiu did not call him General Louchuan at this time, but called him General Henghai. Su Chuleg regarded him as a member of the Zhendan Navy.When Su Chuleg heard this, his expression froze, and he couldn't help holding his breath.

General Guan, General Sun, General Guan, General Sun, these two names kept echoing in Su Chuleg's mind. He placed both hands in Zhao Xiu's hand, and said earnestly: "Su Yu knows, please reply to General Sun, brother Zhao. Su Yu is waiting for his news in Donghai. Every day General Sun is not here, Donghai is restless every day."

Zhao Xiu looked at the seal in his hand, and smiled: "The general is indeed a believer, the young master has not misread you."

Hearing these words, tears almost came down from Su's thick legs. The burden in his heart for many days seemed to be swept away, and his whole body became relaxed. He smiled loudly: "Brother Zhao, please return to Wancheng quickly, and wait for me. Discuss with Mr. Zhongxiang to see how best to respond to the general."

Zhao Xiu cupped his hands, nodded at Yu Fan, turned around and left the big tent.Su thick-legged let out a long breath, and said to Yu Fan in high spirits: "Mr. Yu, tell me what to do."

Yu Fan rolled his eyes: "Don't involve me in such a serious crime of treason, I didn't hear anything just now."

Su Chugui was taken aback for a moment, and was about to beg, but then he understood again, and he laughed: "Don't worry, sir, I, Su Chugui, have handled this matter by myself, and I just want to wrong you and take me as a hostage for a few days."

The corner of Yu Fan's mouth twitched, and then he said: "If you do this, Jianye will be in danger. If the Supreme Master hears about it, he will definitely rush back day and night. Hehe, if you are caught, you will have to be detached if you don't die. Skin."

Su Chugui didn't take it seriously, and retorted: "What am I afraid of? I was a pirate in the first place, and at worst I took my brothers back to the East China Sea to live a free life. It's just that I'm used to stretching out my hands with this clothes, opening my mouth with food, and wearing rich and jade clothes. It’s a good day to eat, and I returned to the East China Sea all of a sudden, and I’m not used to being short of food and clothing. Before I leave, I have to loot in Wujun and Kuaiji. Mr. Yu, don’t you think so?”

Yu Fan was startled, and then cursed: "Su Chuleg, if you dare to move my Yu family's property, you see how I will deal with you."

"Sir, you are all my hostages, what else can you do?" Su thick legs said with a sly smile: "Besides, if I rob other people, except your Yu family, will Sun Quan say that you are accomplice?"

Yu Fan was speechless, speechless.

Su Thick-legged laughed out loud, incomparably carefree.All of a sudden, he understood what Sun Shao once said: "Being a naval officer is even more important."

Hurry up!Hurry up!
Three days later, a six-hundred-mile urgent report was sent to Chaisang and Sun Quan's desk.Sun Quan, who was flirting with Liu Bei, opened it and took a deep breath, his face turned pale.He immediately ordered people to recruit Lu Meng and other generals to the tent, and then passed the military report to them for reading.Everyone who saw it had the same expression as Sun Quan, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Lu Meng's face was even paler. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.

Gu Yong looked at Lu Meng who was fainted on the ground, and then looked at Sun Quan who was in a mess. He was also shocked. He sat silently, but his heart was beating violently. To that young man who was far away in Wancheng Man, he's full of fear now.

Su Chugai, General of the Lou Chuan, and Jiang Qin, General of the Right Guard Army, had a rift because of disagreement in the battle plan. overwhelmed.After Su Chuleg got out of Chaohu Lake, he held Yu Fan and others hostage and looted all the way from Jianye to Donghai.Jiang Qin did not fight, Su ran away with thick legs, and the Qingxu navy had no opponents, and went all the way eastward, heading straight for Jianye City, Jianye City was in a hurry.

The originally peaceful Eastern Front rekindled the flames of war. Sun Quan, who had always felt that the rear was very stable, was caught off guard, as if he had finally climbed the ladder to the city wall. up the ladder.

Although no one said anything, everyone could vaguely guess that the sudden betrayal of Su's thick legs was probably related to Sun Shao from Wancheng.Ordinarily, such a thing is intolerable, but now Sun Quan has not entered Chaisang to rescue the siege, and is sitting on Sun Shao's life and death. He even sent people one after another to ask Sun Quan to enter the army, but Sun Quan ignored them. Even Lu Meng felt that it was hard to speak. Now Sun Shao fought back desperately, planning Su's thick-legged rebellion with one hand, and disrupted Sun Quan's rear. This is too much, but who You can't say anything about him, Sun Quan is unkind first, and he is unrighteous second, and Sun Quan can only blame himself if he wants to blame.

What's more, Su Chugai was originally Sun Shao's old department, and it was Sun Quan who poached his corner, and now he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, who can be blamed?Besides, even if you knew it might be Sun Shaoshi's trick, what evidence do you have?Since Su Chugui did this, how could he come out to testify against Sun Shao?

This dumb loss made Sun Quan furious and furious.Lu Meng and Jiang Qin had a very good relationship, and Jiang Qin's accidental death in battle hit him hard, he vomited blood in shock and anger, and fell into a coma.He and Jiang Qin are Sun Quan's right and left hands. Once there is a big battle, it is usually Lv Meng who will lead the battle and Jiang Qin will be the reserve team. Now that Sun Shao makes a move, Jiang Qin will be abolished and Lu Meng will be sick. Left and right hands made it impossible for Sun Quan to fight back even if he wanted to.

This result was too serious and came too suddenly. Everyone was unprepared. The originally good situation suddenly became unmanageable. Not only Sun Quan was in a mess, but Sun Shao, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others were also helpless .They looked at each other and found it very difficult to deal with. Finally, Zhang Wen, who was sitting in the farthest distance, stood up.

"My lord, the most urgent thing is to discuss with Liu Bei and send someone to go north with him to Wancheng, lest he take advantage of the fire to loot."

Sun Quan glared at Zhang Wen angrily, and was about to yell at Zhang Wen, but swallowed the words again.Before he could react, Sun Huan visited the Sun clan and Sun Ce's old troops in the army, and told them the news of Wancheng, and Zhang Wen was responsible for Sun Quan's plan to go bankrupt by concealing the battle in Wancheng.Sun Quan had been looking for an opportunity to deal with Zhang Wen for a long time, but now is not the time. What Zhang Wen said is very reasonable. Once Liu Bei knows that his backyard is on fire, although he will not take advantage of it, it is entirely possible to blackmail him. .To avoid this situation, the only way to trick Liu Bei into going north is before Liu Bei knows the news.
