The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 214 The Pirate Empire Was a Drama
At this moment, Cao Zhen rushed to Liaodong. When he heard about this incident, he was in the middle of his heart, and ran to Sun Shao and said that this incident was too irritating. Under such circumstances, even if Sun Quan gave up his son, he would To save your son, the reason is very simple, he has two sons, but you only have one.He patted his chest and said, if His Royal Highness the King of Yue needs it, my country of Wei is willing to fight against the enemy and help you teach Sun Quan, a heartless guy. If it weren't for you, King Yue, how would he be qualified to be king.

Sun Shao sneered, is the general guarding the army trying to avenge me, or is he taking the opportunity to negotiate terms?

Cao Zhen was serious, jumping up as if he was insulted, I really want to help you, how can you look at me like that.

Sun Shao disagreed, and he said to Cao Zhen, I am very grateful to the general guard for helping me, but what I am most anxious about now is not the war, but the base area.You also know that my country of Yue is trapped in King Wu's territory, and it will definitely not be able to occupy it once the war starts. Since the general of the guard wants to help me, can you give me Liaodong first?
Cao Zhen was speechless for a moment. Cao Pi told him that Sun Shao would take advantage, but he didn’t pay much attention at first, but now he believed that Sun Shao would indeed take advantage. At this time, he still wanted Liaodong, but why? It's also reasonable.

Negotiating with such a person is absolutely negligent.Cao Zhen put away his contempt and endured his relationship with Sun Shao. Of course, this relationship began with Xiahouhui. Xiahouhui's mother was Cao Zhen's younger sister. He was Xiahouhui's uncle. he comes.

With this relationship, it was indeed much easier to talk about. Sun Shao was eager to go back and settle accounts with Sun Quan, and was in no mood to grind his teeth with Cao Zhen. They quickly reached an agreement.Liaodong County is still under the responsibility of Youzhou Mu Caozhang, but the area south of Liaodong, including Lelang County and Daifang County, is ceded to Yue State. As for the territory of Goguryeo and Buyeo, we will talk about it later, and the Sanhan area in the south will also belong to Sun in the future. Shao, if Sun Shao needs their assistance, then we can negotiate terms.Cao Cao's purpose is to limit Sun Shao to the east and prevent him from gaining a foothold on the east coast of Bohai Bay. Sun Shao now only occupies Lelang County and Daifang County. It is not easy to land directly in Jizhou, even in Qingzhou. There is also a vast sea in the middle, let alone Cao Zhen has no idea how wide the middle is, even Cao Cao has no idea, on the map of the big man, this place is far away, the vast sea, it is impossible to cross.The counties Lelang and Daifang have not been the focus of the Han people since they conquered Weiman Korea and merged into the territory of the Han Dynasty. They are too far away from the emperor to receive any benefits. For Sun Shao, it is no different from throwing away a trouble for Cao Cao.

Relatives belong to relatives, and they still have to take advantage of what should be taken. Cao Zhen used this to ask Sun Shao for a lot of benefits, some of which were for Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and of course for himself.In the end, Cao Zhen said half-truthfully, if you need help from our Wei State, you can just ask, we can march from the Jianghuai area to contain Sun Quan's western troops, if you contact Xishu again, ask them to advance from the south of the Yangtze River, then Sun Quan was doomed.

Sun Shao didn't give him permission immediately, but said, this matter is my Sun's family matter, I don't want to involve too much, the world has just settled down, if there is another chaos because of my family matter, then I will not be a sinner?I will play the emperor, and if necessary, I will definitely ask the king of Wei for help.

What Cao Zhen said was not entirely polite, but he really wanted to take this opportunity to provoke a war, first to destroy Wu State, and if Wu State was destroyed, Yue State would soon be there.Unexpectedly, Sun Shao would not be fooled, so he could only accept it as soon as he saw it, and went back happily.

After negotiating the matter of Liaodong, Sun Shao summoned the invisible former general Su thick leg, officially gave him the seal of the former general, and at the same time appointed him as the governor of the East China Sea, stationed in Lianyungang, with jurisdiction from the north of the Yangtze River estuary to Youzhou. The sea area also includes the three Koreas and Japan that need to be conquered in the future.Speaking of which, if only the area is counted, this sea is about the size of the Great Han Kingdom.Su Chuleg was very excited. He patted his chest and swore to Sun Shao that the minister will guard this sea area for the king, and promise that no one will take advantage of my country of Yue.

After the arrangements were made, Sun Shao set sail with [-] sailors and a large amount of spoils, taking advantage of the north wind and heading straight for Jianye.Zang Ba and Sun Guanshun went back to their respective residences. This time they fought with Sun Shao in Liaodong, and they got a lot of advantages. Not only were they promoted from governor to state shepherd, their status was more stable, and they also established a good cooperative relationship with Sun Shao. In the future, the strength will become stronger and stronger, and it will be just around the corner to escape from Cao Cao's control.They were very grateful to Sun Shao, not only supported Sun Shao with a large amount of food, but also personally sent him all the way out of Xuzhou's territory.

After a brief stay in Lianyungang, Sun Shao's navy arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which was already under martial law. Sun Shao, the prefect of Guangling, rushed to Sun Shao's boat in person, and earnestly advised Sun Shao to rest his anger and not to start a war with Sun Quan.At the same time, Zhang Wen was ordered to rush to Sun Shao's army.

Zhang Wen's face was a bit haggard, and he smiled wryly when he saw Sun Shao: "Your Highness, the world is in chaos."

Sun Shao curled his lips and listened quietly to Zhang Wen's opening without saying a word.

Zhang Wen was ordered to go to Xishu at the beginning of the new year.The state of Shu is now very stable, the danger in Berkshire has been lifted, Liu Bei's heart is relieved, Guan Yu has made great contributions in Nanyang, he was recalled to Chengdu, and served as a general, and Zhuge Liang, who was the prime minister, assisted Liu Bei.Years ago, Guan Yu received two thousand war horses from Sun Shao. He was very happy and praised his son-in-law for his filial piety. , for fear that others would not know that he has a good son-in-law.Just when he was proud, the proton incident in Jianye spread to Chengdu. Guan Yu was furious and went to the palace overnight to ask Liu Bei for an order to send troops to attack Wu and avenge his grandson.Liu Bei was also overjoyed by the two thousand horses. Seeing the opportunity to loot Sun Quan, he agreed to Guan Yu's request without discussing with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and mobilized an army to prepare for the expedition.Zhang Wen, who was on a mission in Chengdu at the time, heard about it, and went to the palace to persuade Liu Bei, and hurriedly passed the news back to Jianye.He managed to appease Liu Bei, and when he rushed back to Jianye, he found that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were not the only ones who were moved by the news, Cao Cao was also moved. In the name of helping Sun Shao, he wantonly increased his troops in Jianghuai.

Among them, the court in Luoyang is the most embarrassing. Of course, the emperor knew that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had bad intentions, and wanted to destroy Sun Quan and break this balance, but he couldn't stop it. Sun Shao just gave him a generous gift. At this time, I should say a few words for Sun Shao.So the emperor issued an imperial edict to punish Sun Shao, but at the same time advised all parties to be more rational and not to use swords lightly.Of course, no one listened to these words. Not only did Cao Cao and Liu Bei ignore him, but Sun Quan also thought he was farting. They all rushed to the door.Sun Quan just wrote to the emperor, explaining the whole story, and asked the emperor to mediate, but he was only focused on preparing for the war.

The situation in Wu State suddenly became very tense.

When he started preparing for the battle, Sun Quan felt that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his imagination.Not only are there many foreign enemies, but also there are no available people inside. The generals he believed in are divided into three categories. Yes, such people cannot be used.The second category is the confidantes cultivated by oneself, headed by Lu Meng and Lu Su, but both of them are ill. Lu Meng's illness is very serious. Since Jiang Qin died in the battle the year before last, he has been in a bad mood. Lu Su is better. But he alone can't block a few sides.The third category is the clan, like Sun Jiao, but the hearts of this kind of people have changed now. Sun Jiao's elder brother, Sun Song, is now the Zongzheng of the Yue Kingdom. How dare he use it?

There is another type of people, such as He Qi and Lu Xun, but Sun Quan found sadly that he dare not use these people. Lu Xun is Sun Shao's brother-in-law, and He Qi's son He Da is Sun Shao's general. Had a good time in Zhuya recently.

After all the calculations, only Bu Zhi, Lu Fan, Zhou Tai, Quan Cong, Lu Dai, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and others could be used.He promoted some young people, such as Lu Ba, the son of Lu Meng, Chen Xiu and Chen Biao, the sons of Chen Wu, and Jiang Yi, the son of Jiang Qin, but it was far from enough.

Sun Quan originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to recapture Kuaiji, but now that he has settled his accounts, he finds that it is good to be able to hold his own territory. This is not counting Qian Tang's Yue soldiers who may take the opportunity to attack their hearts.

At first, I thought I was living a very nourishing life. When Sun Shao and him cooperated happily, I didn't feel anything. Now that I fell out with Sun Shao, I realized that my power had unknowingly become Sun Shao's power. Not only did I have many foreign enemies , It seems that there are many internal enemies.Sun Quan became anxious at this moment. After much deliberation, he thought of Fuchun's aunt, Sun, and immediately sent someone to send the bridge over. He also promised to bring Mrs. Xu back immediately and make her queen. , Explain to Sun Shao, I really didn't mean it, don't fight among yourself, and it's all at the expense of others in the end.

Zhang Wen was ordered to persuade Sun Shao.

"Your Highness is wise, the general trend of the world depends on His Majesty's heart, I have nothing to say, if His Highness thinks it is better, you can do it." Zhang Wen spread his hands and stopped talking.

Zhang Wen didn't say anything, but Sun Shao became quiet instead.It seems that there are quite a lot of people who want to join in the fun. Guan Yu may really want to help him, but Liu Bei may not. As for Cao Cao, he definitely has bad intentions. Once he and Sun Quan start fighting, this matter will be really difficult. .

If you can't fight, the rest is to negotiate the conditions, otherwise, wouldn't you have done all the big moves?

"Okay, you go back, I won't make things difficult for you, let him prepare for the war." Sun Shao waved his hand, and said indisputably: "I will not unite with outsiders to fight him, I will fight him to the death myself."

Zhang Wen said that he would not persuade him, but in fact, how could he not persuade him? The reason why he put on a resigned attitude was to retreat in order to advance, hoping that Sun Shao would see the situation clearly and give way first.However, Sun Shao obviously did not have this plan. Although he said that he would not join forces with Cao Liu to fight Sun Quan, but when they started fighting, how could Cao and Liu watch so quietly, they must have come uninvited.He thought for a while, "Your Highness, is there any other solution?"

"Is there any way?" Sun Shao stared, "There is a way, he sent me Sun Li, let me chop it up with a knife, and everyone is even."

"This...isn't appropriate?" Zhang Wen was taken aback. Sun Shao seemed to be planning to kill off Sun Quan's heir.Kill Sun Li first, and then find a reason to kill Sun Deng later, Sun Quan is completely staring.

"What's inappropriate? His son is a son, but mine is not a son? He has two, and if one dies, there will be another one. As for me, I am only one. If he is so kind, my only son will be the only one." Gone."

Zhang Wen was speechless. Although Sun Shao's reasoning was a bit barbaric, it made sense. Anyway, Sun Quan did not handle this matter properly.

"Other than this method?" Zhang Wen had no choice but to speak with a cheeky face.

"There is no other way." Sun Shao got up and walked away.Just as Zhang Wen wanted to follow in and try to persuade him, Guan Feng, with red eyes and livid face, flashed out from the side, pulled out half of a long knife, and looked at Zhang Wen coldly.

Just when Zhang Wen was at a loss, Fuchun's old aunt sent someone to send a letter. Daqiao was sick and dying in Fuchun, and hoped that Sun Shao could visit her as soon as possible.In addition, Sun Quan didn't handle this matter well. I'm sorry for Sun Shao, but Wu Yue's war, no matter who wins, will be a disaster for the Sun family. I hope Sun Shao can handle this matter calmly.At the same time, she also told Sun Shao about Sun Quan's promise. The meaning was very clear. She hoped that Sun Shao would make a sacrifice to fulfill Mrs. Xu and Sun Deng. As long as Mrs. Xu became the queen of Wu and Sun Deng became the prince, what loss would there be in the future? Can't make it up?
The old aunt said one last thing, you are still young, take a few more concubines, and soon you will have a group of children again.

After Sun Shao received the old aunt's letter, he sat alone for a long time, finally found Zhang Wenwen and Sun Shao, and showed them the old aunt's letter. Seeing a glimmer of hope, Zhang Wenwen and Sun Shao held their breath, He stared at Sun Shao intently.

"My aunt came forward, I have to show some face." Sun Shao let out a long breath: "But I can't swallow this breath."

"Tell me." Before Zhang Wen could speak, Sun Shao spoke first: "What conditions do you have?"

"First, I want a complete Kuaiji." Sun Shao said word by word: "Secondly, I want the South China Sea."

Sun Shao took a breath and dared not say a word.It’s nothing more than a complete Kuaiji. Anyway, the most affluent place has been occupied by Sun Shao, and it’s not impossible to give him other places, but Nanhai is different. Although the population of Nanhai is not as large as that of Wujun, the business has developed rapidly in the past two years. One of the few large counties in Jiaozhou, is Sun Quan willing to let go?
"This is my bottom line. I only talked to him for the sake of my aunt. If he doesn't give it, I don't want to talk about it. Let's start a war."

Zhang Wen hesitated. Before he could speak, Guan Feng's voice came to mind at the door. She glared at Sun Shao with tears streaming down her face, and her hoarse voice was particularly harsh: "Husband, my Ah Yi is worth two counties." If my husband wants these two counties, I can ask my father for help, and I can help my husband take Jiangdong. Why do I use these two counties to get my Ah Yi? I don’t want these two counties, I want him to pay for his life! I want him to pay with his life!"

Zhang Wen didn't dare to fart, said "I'll go back and report", and walked away.He knew that Sun Shao's wife loved her so badly. If Sun Shao was changed by Guan Feng's crying, then things would really not turn around.Sun Shao was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly got up to leave.Guan Feng grabbed Sun Shao and wept uncontrollably. Sun Shangxiang and Xia Houhui rushed over with a few female guards. It took a lot of effort to pull Guan Feng in, almost tearing her fingernails.

Sun Shaohu entered the inner room with a straight face, and motioned for Sun Shangxiang, who had a cut on his face by Guan Feng, to go out first. Sun Shangxiang glanced at Guan Feng who was panting heavily, exhausted and crying silently at the corner of the bed, and stomped He stomped his feet and led the people out.Sun Shao closed the door with his backhand, pricked up his ears to listen for a while, and then rushed to Guan Feng.

Guan Feng stared at him viciously, as if he was looking at a stranger, with his arms outstretched, and he might pounce on him at any time.It has been more than two months since she heard the bad news, and she is almost going crazy.

"let me tell you……"

"I won't listen—" Before Sun Shao finished speaking, Guan Feng screamed, his hoarse voice was as ugly as sawing wood.

"You will definitely want to hear it." Sun Shao took another step forward.

"I won't listen, I won't listen." Guan Feng covered his ears: "You use Ah Yi for business...you use Ah Yi for business...I don't want to listen to you."

Sun Shao looked around guiltily, held Guan Feng's wrist with both hands, pulled her into his arms, put his mouth next to her ear, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he gasped , but dared not move, for fear that the pull would break Guan Feng's teeth.

"Yin...Yinping, listen to me..." Sun Shao grinned in pain, "Ah...Ahhh is fine."

Guan Feng, who was biting him hard, was taken aback when he heard it, and immediately let go of his mouth, pushed him away, and looked at him with rounded red eyes: "You...what did you say?"

"Hey, you're too ruthless." Sun Shao pulled off his collar and turned his head to look at the wound on his shoulder. It seeps out and connects into a line.

"Tell me quickly, what's wrong with Ah Yi?" Guan Feng asked repeatedly, ignoring his wounds, grabbing him.

"Keep your voice down." Sun Shao quickly covered her mouth, stared at her eyes, and lowered his voice: "Promise me first, you won't shout loudly after listening."

Guan Feng stared at Sun Shao, stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again.Sun Shao was still worried, and still covered her mouth with one hand, and whispered a few words in her ear. Guan Feng's eyes widened and she was stunned. Pressing it down with his hand, he opened his mouth and bit down hard, crying while biting, "Hello...you are so ruthless...you are so ruthless...how could you hide it from me for so long, don't you...know ... I hate it so much that I want to ... die?"

Sun Shao gasped in pain, but didn't dare to move. He saw what Guan Feng had been like these past few months, and it hurt in his heart, but he knew Guan Feng's temper. If he didn't hide it from her, he would hide it from her. Without others, the play would be for nothing.In fact, it was not just Guan Feng, he was more worried about Daqiao. Daqiao must have taken all the responsibility on himself at the moment, and felt that it was her negligence that caused Ah Li to die. With her character, the old aunt said that she was dying now, and Sun Shao is a hundred believe.

But what if you don't?Sun Quan wanted to use Ah Yi as a bargaining chip to force him to work for him. Sooner or later, the conflict between them would break out, and it was better to suffer sooner than later.He is the chief director, he knows the ins and outs of this scene, and he doesn't worry about his son. What he really worries about is Guan Feng and Daqiao, but he can't tell, he can only bury all the secrets in his heart.Today, I saw that Guan Feng was really anxious. I was afraid that she would not think about it for a while and killed herself with a knife in the middle of the night, so I told him the truth.

Guan Feng burst into tears, and finally fell into a deep sleep in Sun Shao's arms. The torment of the past two months has made her unable to bear it. If it wasn't for the belief of avenging her son that supported her, she might have fallen down long ago.

Sun Shao didn't dare to be negligent, and asked someone to cook medicinal porridge for Guan Feng to recuperate.He stayed by Guan Feng's side all the time, not letting anyone get close to her, even when Xia Houhui and Sun Shangxiang came to see Guan Feng, he would not leave.Guan Feng slept soundly all night, woke up the next morning, looked at Sun Shao who was lying beside him with all his clothes on, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Sun Shao, who was woken up, looked at it, sighed, and took her into his arms: "Get up and wash up, and eat something, I have suffered for you these days."

"Husband, am I particularly useless?" Guan Feng put his arms around Sun Shao's waist, trembling his shoulders, sobbing silently: "You don't tell me such a big thing, are you worried that I can't hide what's on my mind? , not as calm as sister Yuanrong?"

Sun Shao didn't know what to say, he thought Guan Feng would blame him again, but he didn't expect Guan Feng to blame himself first.He smiled awkwardly: "No, Yuanrong doesn't know about this matter, only me and those two people know."

"Who the hell? Can they take care of their children?"

"Don't worry about that." Sun Shao hesitated for a moment: "I don't intend to let these two people show up. You must not tell the third person, neither Yuanrong nor aunt."

Guan Feng raised his head and looked at Sun Shao with teary eyes: "I don't want to know who they are, I just want to see the children sooner."

"Now?"

"Now, I want to see him now, I can't wait any longer."

"I knew you couldn't wait." Sun Shao scratched his head helplessly, got up and turned around twice: "The child is on an island outside Qiantangkou, I told you that you were sick and you needed to rest, and someone sent you to the island. Go up, and you will stay there with the child for a while."

"Okay." Guan Feng nodded impatiently, she didn't think about anything now, she wished to fly to the child's side immediately.

"Aunt's place...forget it, I'll have someone take her to that island too, take good care of her, this time she may be worse than you."
