The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 164 The Lord of Jiangdong

In late February of 264 AD, just as Guan Yi was starting the vigorous Yanxing Reform in the Shu Han, Zhong Hui and his nephew Zhong Yong came to Wucheng County in Kuaiji County of Eastern Wu.

"Brother Shi Ji, Yi really knows how to pinch and count. Otherwise, how could he have known in advance that the Sima Guild would attack my big man and made preparations so many years in advance?"

"Brother Shi Ji, Yi can really pinch and count. Otherwise, why would I have issued a warning to Fu Jian in Yang'an Pass that Jiang Shu would rebel? Actually, I have also issued a warning to Dong Ming and Zhuge Zhan in advance, but it is a pity They didn't listen, forcing Yi to take the first step as a powerful minister."

"Brother Shiji is such a great talent, I don't dare to expect you to be convinced by me. So I really can't sleep well if you stay in Chengdu. But brother Shiji, you can go to Dongwu. Yi Not long ago, I made another fortune-telling. The current emperor of Soochow, Sun Xiu, is sick. This time, he will not get better. His son will not succeed in the future. The successor will be the current Marquis of Wucheng, Sun Hao. Hmm Well, at most, Sun Hao will take over in August or September of this year. If you go for refuge now, you will be a minister of the dragon in less than half a year. No way, one day Guan Yi will still need your care."

"Uh, well, I'm definitely going to write you a letter of recommendation. And I'll also give you a little high-grade wine newly produced in Fuling County. I'm definitely the only one here in the world. Sun Hao drank this Jiu, I must believe that this letter was written by me, Guan Yi."

Now, Zhong Hui and Zhong Yong stood in front of Wucheng Hou's Mansion with full of expectations and a little bit of fear about the future.

"Uncle, this is Wuchenghou's Mansion? It looks very dilapidated."

"Hehehe, this person is the eldest son of Sun He, the abolished prince of the Eastern Wu. As for Sun He, he was first abolished as the prince, and then killed by Sun Jun, the power minister of the Eastern Wu (Sun He's wife and uncle is Zhuge Ke, And Zhuge Ke was destroyed by Sun Junyi. In order to eliminate future troubles, Sun Jun naturally wanted to kill Sun He.) So this person became an orphan at a very young age (this sentence is not entirely true, Sun Hao’s biological mother raised Sun Hao’s five brothers and sisters ). So the current sick emperor of Soochow has a kind heart and gave him a Marquis, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to live in such a dilapidated house!”

"So that's the case, what about us?"

"Hey, Yang'an Pass was defeated. My uncle can't go back to Luoyang. Guan Zifeng is so self-aware that he didn't dare to take me in. So, let's just treat me like a dead horse. If it's after October this year This person cannot ascend the throne of Soochow Emperor, we will make plans later. Yonger, go knock on the door."

"Here!"

At the same time, in Wuchenghou's mansion.

This so-called Hou's mansion is actually about the same size as Guan Yi's prefect's mansion in Fuling County, with two courtyards and seven or eight houses.There is an open space between the first entrance and the second entrance, surrounded by houses to form a patio.

The sharp sound of fierce weapons clashing intermittently sounded in this courtyard, but it was two young men fighting together.

A man, about eight feet tall, with a straight nose and bright eyes.The two sword eyebrows added a lot of heroism to him.However, among the heroic spirit, there is a kind of elegance and coquettishness.As for the other man, his eyes were sunken, his skin was dark, his muscles were prickly, and his hair was slightly purple. His appearance was somewhat different from that of ordinary people from the Central Plains.

As the two swords intersected, the heroic man's long sword crossed the dark man's long sword, and slid down along the sword's momentum.The dark man had no choice but to drop his sword.Thus, the outcome has been decided.

"Papa papa." Beside the two men, another middle-aged man clapped desperately.Unfortunately, the audience is really too small.The lonely applause made the courtyard look too desolate.

"Shunmin, it's not bad, it's good, it's 21 moves under Lord Hou yesterday, and today it's [-] moves. It's a big improvement."

"Hehehe, thank you, brother Wenbin, for your compliment. This, Master Hou taught me well."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Shunmin, you and Wenbin can call each other Biaozi, why do you still call me Lord Hou? You know my Biaozi, Yuanzong!"

"Don't dare, brother Wen Bin is a minister of Wu Cheng after all, even though he is the order of Wu Chengling. Although Wang Cheng (the book friend Lu Cheng played in his true colors!) Although his status is low, but thanks to brother Wen Bin's perseverance, he still dares to entrust him to be called a brother." But Hou Ye is different, you have the noble blood of the great emperor in your body, and you are the emperor of my great Wu family. I, Wang Cheng, a foreigner from Yizhou, would never dare to be called Hou Ye. "

"Yes, Lord Hou, this is the difference between the monarch and his ministers. It is impossible."

"Hey~~~" With a long sigh, Sun Hao threw the long sword in his hand on the ground: "I am a remnant of a deposed prince, except you two, who takes me seriously?"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and no one was easy to talk to.

After a while, Wu Cheng ordered Wan Yu to speak: "Master Hou, Yu came here today to bid farewell to Master Hou."

"What? Even Wen Bin wants to abandon me?"

"It's not that you want to abandon Lord Hou, but that the court has issued a decree. I want to set off within this month to go to Jianye to take up the post of Zuo Dianjun."

"I see. Congratulations on Wenbin's promotion. Uh, it's a pity that this house doesn't even have any fruit wine from Fuling County, so there's no way to congratulate Wenbin."

"Hahahahaha~~~ Don't you mean no wine? I have Shaodaozi liquor newly produced in Fuling County. Would you like to drink with me, Marquis Wucheng?"

"Huh?" Sun Hao turned his head and saw two handsome men walking in by themselves.But there was no anger on his face, but a smile from his heart: "My so-called Hou's mansion, besides Wen Bin, has someone come to the door all these years? Good friend, where is your spirits? Would you like to have a drink with me?"

"Stay true to your wish, and dare not resign. Please ask Lord Hou to send someone to take out the wine utensils."

"Hahahahaha~~~ In this mansion of the Marquis, apart from Wen Bin who visits from time to time, and the obedient people who never leave. There are only my mother and three younger brothers. Well, there is not even a decent table. I am neglecting the guests! "

"It doesn't matter, the sky and the ground are also a kind of elegance." Zhong Hui finished speaking without being pretentious, and found a place to sit down on his own: "Master Hou, this wine is extremely strong, please drink it slowly for the first sip .” After speaking, he handed the flagon in his arms to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao took it and was about to drink it. Wang Cheng called softly: "Master Hou!"

"Hehehe, Shunmin, I know what you want to say. But I, the Marquis who is not even as good as a commoner, who will come to harm me? If the one from Jianye doesn't like me and wants to take my life, even if he knows this It's poisonous wine, can I not drink it?"

After saying this, Sun Hao didn't hesitate at all, just opened his mouth.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem..." There is no doubt that the high-grade wine repeatedly refined by the traveler is not comparable to any kind of wine in this era.It was the first time to drink this kind of wine, and Sun Hao took a big gulp after drinking it.In an instant, the intestines burned by the spicy heat, and the whole face naturally turned bright blood red.

"The thief is so daring! How dare you poison the Marquis!" Wang Cheng, who was watching Sun Hao closely, quickly picked up the long sword on the ground at this time, and flew towards Zhong Hui.And Zhong Yong also quickly drew his sword, barely blocked Wang Cheng, and shouted loudly: "My friend, please be safe and don't be impatient! Your master is fine!"

"Hoo~~~ha~~~~Hoo~~~~ Good wine! Good wine! The entrance is like a knife, and it melts into the belly. After that, the whole person is in a state of tranquility... Good wine! My friend, what is the name of this wine? Produced in Fuling County in Western Shu?"

"This wine is called Burning Knife, and there is another name called Sanbudao. It is indeed produced in Fuling County in the Shu Kingdom. The first time Master Hou drank this wine, except for a slight loss of composure due to the taste problem, he was actually conscious. Master Hou is indeed in good health Very human."

"Huh~~ Wine like this should of course be produced in Fuling County. Huh? You just said Fuling County in Shu Kingdom. Are you from West Shu?"

"No."

"Your Excellency's accent is indeed that of the north. Are you from Wei?"

"Hey, we were originally from Wei, but it's really hard to say who we are now. Lord Hou, here is a letter written by Guan Zifeng, the left general of Western Shu, please read it."

"Hahaha~~ My empty-headed Marquis has nothing to do all day long. It's Wenbin who chats with me, and Shunmin who practices sword with me. What a waste. But this Guan Zifeng is a great hero, a real hero. His Personal letter, please allow me to read it carefully after changing clothes."

In this letter, Guan Yi explained to Sun Hao the situation of the Battle of Xindu and the Battle of Yang'an Pass in great detail, including many maps.Seeing Sun Hao was very enjoyable.Afterwards, the writing changed, and it was said that the person who came to visit with a letter was Cao Wei's Zhenxi General Zhong Hui, who was unfortunately defeated and captured at Yang'an Pass this time.He begged Zhong Hui to work for him, but what Zhong Hui remembered was that he wanted to defeat Guan Yi on the battlefield.So...Unable to return to Cao Wei, I can only come to Soochow to seek refuge.

"Oh! Uncle Zhong Shi Jixian who once commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, Sun Hao is rude."

"Hey, the 18 army has been wiped out because of Zhong Hui's stupidity. This matter is really a lifelong regret for Zhong Hui."

"Otherwise, Shi Jigong, if it weren't for Guan Zifeng's detailed explanation and map in this letter, Sun Hao would never have known that this was the reappearance of the Siege of Changping. Shi Jigong was in a desperate situation and almost Guan Zifeng was pushed to a desperate situation, but Shi Jigong was unlucky, and the friendly troops on the periphery withdrew first, which led to the timely assistance of the Hanzhong Army. Otherwise, the success or failure of this battle is still unknown. Not good, this great achievement in destroying Shu belongs to Shi Jigong."

"This..." Hearing these words, Zhong Hui was really moved. This comforted people, comforting to a certain level.This son is not bad!

"Thank you, Junhou, for your comfort. The pent-up gas in my chest has decreased a lot."

"Hehehe, it's good that Shi Jigong feels relieved. But Shi Jigong, you want to fight Guan Zifeng again, because you can't return to Wei State for the time being, so come to my Great Wu. This Sun Hao understands. But If you want to fulfill your ambition, you should go to Jianye..."

"No way. Your Majesty. Although Zhong Hui is from the north, he still has some understanding of the dispute between the two palaces of Wu. The throne of Wu should belong to your father, and naturally it should belong to you. As the saying goes The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good. Although the prince is dormant here for the time being, he will eventually soar in the nine heavens! Moreover, the prince who will be watching today is heroic and heroic, which reminds him of Changsha Hengwang many years ago... Your Excellency must Will become another hero in Jiangdong!"
