599 Burning Yangtze River (39)

Sun Quan fully agreed with Xiang Lang's suggestion, not only did he send all Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family to Zhang Fei, but he also sent Peng Tuo to escort several trucks of food, weapons, money and other items as items to support Zhang Fei in seizing Yizhou.

Before leaving, Sun Quan specifically instructed Peng Tuo and asked Peng Tuo to be responsible for monitoring Zhang Fei. Whenever there was any disturbance, Peng Tuo immediately reported it to him.

However, Sun Quan did not know that Peng Tuo had actually returned to Zhang Fei, and Sun Quan's series of arrangements just met Fa Zheng's thoughts.

Most of the things Xiang Lang said in front of Sun Quan were said by Fa Zheng, and this strategy was also written by Fa Zheng to Xiang Lang. Therefore, the success of this journey was achieved, and Fa Zheng was mostly due to Fa Zheng.

After Xiang Lang came out of Sun Quan's mansion, he immediately contacted Chen Dao and told Chen Dao the good news. Chen Dao was very happy after hearing this, so he and Xiang Lang entered the mansion where Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were legitimately located, and took away all the families of the three families. In addition, Peng Tuo led the delivery of supplies, there were more than 200 people. He hired a large ship, all of which were put on makeup and became merchants. He quickly left Nanchang and rushed towards Yuanling where Zhang Fei was.

Xiang Lang, Chen Dao, Peng Tuo and others escorted Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family members all the way to Nanchang. Less than three days after leaving, Lu Fan returned from Chaisang and reported to Sun Quan about the current situation. While chatting, Lu Fan accidentally talked about this matter.

"Lord, you are so confused. Zhang Fei is a powerful general of the world. It's okay if you let him go alone. Why do you still let him go with his family? In this case, Zhang Fei will have no worries and will not be tied up again. What if he really conquered Yizhou and became the lord of Yizhou, will he bow to his lord? Moreover, the lord actually gave him money, grain and weapons. Isn't this equivalent to sponsoring him?" Lu Fan said in annoyance.

Lu Fan is Sun Ce's friend and his relationship with Sun Quan is also extraordinary. Even Zhou Yu did not dare to talk to Sun Quan like this, but Lu Fan could do it because he and Sun Quan knew each other very early. When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu went out to fight, Sun Ce always entrusted his family to Lu Fan to take care of. Lu Fan was like a big brother, taking care of Sun Quan, the little brother. Although the two were not brothers, they were closer than brothers.

In addition, Lu Fan also talked about Sun Quan's many principles of being a human being, which made him understand many things. Lu Fan was a brother, a teacher, and a family member to Sun Quan. Therefore, Sun Quan treated each other so frankly. Even if Lu Fan said anything too much, it would not be a big deal, and Sun Quan would not take it to heart.

Lu Fan said something ashamed Sun Quan felt ashamed, with a hurried look on his face, and he asked, "Then...what should I do?"

"How long have they been gone?" Lu Fan asked.

"It's been three days." Sun Quan said.

Lu Fan said: "From here to Yuanling, you have to pass through Jingzhou on the way. Jingzhou is already under Zhang Yan's jurisdiction. They are very cautious and they are taking their families with their families. They must not be far away. It is better for the lord to send an elite soldier to chase him now, and it is still time to do so."

Sun Quan said: "Okay! I'll send someone to chase him..."

"No need to chase after me!" Suddenly, a nasty voice came from outside the door, but Mrs. Wu appeared at the door, and with the help of a young and beautiful woman, she stepped into the hall. In addition, Mrs. Wu was following Sun Kuang and others.

"Mother, you don't have a good rest in the room, why are you here?" After seeing Mrs. Wu, Sun Quan immediately met her. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the woman who was supporting Mrs. Wu, and he was obviously a little resentful.

That woman was nothing but Sun Quan’s wife, the daughter of Peng Hu, the chief of Shanyue, and Mrs. Peng.

Sun Quan married Mrs. Peng just for political marriage. However, Mrs. Peng was very beautiful. At first, Sun Quan liked her very much, but as she got along, over time, the friction between the two continued to explode. Mrs. Peng is from Shanyue and grew up in Shanyue since she was a child, so she is more bold, cheerful and lively. In addition, she is also proficient in martial arts and is common for dancing guns and sticks.

However, Sun Quan likes the kind of small and delicate woman who is dependent on others, and likes women to rely on him, rely on him, and worship him. But Mrs. Peng is the kind of woman who is more strong. She is unwilling to admit defeat when encountering any problems and often makes Sun Quan unable to come to the fore.

In addition, there are also great differences in their living habits and customs. Sun Quan was a Han Chinese after all, and could not stand the style of Shanyue people. Mrs. Peng often showed up in public and went out to hunt, which made Sun Quan feel very indecent.

Over time, Sun Quan became disgusted with him, and the two often quarreled and sometimes even fought.

However, every time a war broke out between the couple, Sun Quan was willing to take advantage of it. Mrs. Peng liked to use double swords and was more powerful than Sun Quan's martial arts. Therefore, after several consecutive confrontations, Sun Quan did not dare to provoke this woman again, so he stayed in the government office and did not return to his mansion, and stayed away from Mrs. Peng.

However, Sun Quan is a man after all, and he also has physiological needs, so in order to solve this need, Sun Quan had to find a new love, fell in love with a maid, and would sleep with this maid every night.

After learning about this, Mrs. Peng was furious and broke into the government office with her two swords. She actually chopped the maid to death on Sun Quan's bed. When Sun Quan returned in the evening, she lifted up the quilt and waited for him no longer the gentle place, but the bloody and cold corpse.

Since then, Sun Quan has held a grudge against Mrs. Peng and never met Mrs. Peng again.

These are family scandals, only a very small number of people know about it, and there is no way for the outside world to know it. But since then, Sun Quan has restrained a lot. In addition, Sun Ce also died at this time. He inherited Sun Ce's position, so he devoted all his attention to handling political affairs and gradually became a stance of striving for strength.

However, when I met Mrs. Peng again today, Sun Quan would think of Lin Lin's past and would inevitably hold a grudge against her.

Mrs. Wu had unique eyesight. Her son's every move could not be hidden from Mrs. Wu. Seeing Sun Quan's eyes with a hint of resentment, she said to Sun Quan: "Don't think too much, I asked her to come with me. You are also husband and wife after all, but you haven't met each other for a year. When they meet, they hate each other. Are there such a couple in the world?"

"Mother. I..." Sun Quan said hurriedly.

"Stop talking. If you want to blame, you blame your mother. After all, I asked you to marry her back then. If you have any resentment, you can vent your whole life to your mother!" said Mrs. Wu.

When Sun Ce decided to settle down Jiangdong, his foundation was not very stable. In addition, he fought with Shanyue in succession, and basically there were dozens of battles every month, and many people died in each battle. Later, Zhou Yu offered Sun Ce a plan. He first quit with Shanyue, and then got in touch with some Shanyue tribes and formed allies. In order to stabilize the relationship between the alliances, Sun Ce married the Shanyue tribe. He took the lead in marrying Shanyue women as his wife, and later asked his younger brothers to marry the daughter of the chief of the Shanyue tribe. Sun Quan was one of them.

Sun Quan was unwilling to do so back then, but Mrs. Wu forced Sun Quan to marry him, so more or less, Sun Quan's marriage was a bit arranged.

"Mother, how dare the child resents his mother?" Sun Quan said.

Mrs. Wu said: "Since that's the case, you can't resent your wife. He is still your wife after all, and wasn't you very happy when you married her? Why do you now seem to have met an enemy? Is it worth it just for a maid?"

Sun Quan did not answer or speak out, but just stood there silently, listening quietly to his mother's words.

Seeing Sun Quan's appearance, Mrs. Wu stopped her voice, and immediately said, "Okay, let him go to the past. Besides, I came here this time not to reconcile the affairs between you and your wife. I just heard you say you want to send someone to pursue Zhang Fei and others' families, right?"

"The child was deceived by Xiang Lang. Fortunately, Lu Ziheng came back and woke up the dreamer with a word. I realized that I was deceived. Then I thought..." Sun Quan said.

Mrs. Wu directly interrupted Sun Quan and said, "I am the one who asked you to do this. Even if you are really deceived or fake, you are not allowed to send anyone to chase them!"

Sun Quan hurriedly asked, "Why? That Zhang Fei is a powerful general in the world, what if..."

"What if? Could it be? Do you really believe that Zhang Fei and a few hundred remnants can conquer Yizhou? Besides, you shouldn't have accepted Zhang Fei and the others at the beginning, so many veterans in Jiangdong had slandered me. Don't you know that you favor one or the other? Moreover, I remember that I told you very clearly that day. What is the reason why our Sun family has now? It's not Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, but the officials who are working diligently in various places now, our Sun family officials. If you chase Zhang Fei back, what will you do? Should you kill or use it? Kill him, it will damage your reputation and use it. How do you plan to resettle the veterans?" Mrs. Wu said sternly.

Seeing that Sun Quan was speechless, Lu Fan hurriedly said, "Madam, lord is just..."

Before Lu Fan could finish his words, he saw Mrs. Wu interrupting him directly and said loudly: "Ziheng! You have always been resourceful and are my Sun's confidant. Don't you understand what I meant?"

Lu Fan said: "Madam Tai's meaning is very clear, but..."

"It's nothing, things are already like this, so don't cause trouble. With that leisure, it's better to think about how to deal with the upcoming threat. I heard that King Zhang Yan of Yan has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and has been eyeing Jiangdong. The reason why he has not taken action is just to avoid the naval army led by Gongjin. Once there is any disturbance in Jiangdong, Zhang Yan's army will be overwhelmed. Zhang Fei will let him die. Now he should focus all his thoughts on how to deal with Zhang Yan's war." Mrs. Wu said.

Sun Quan and Lu Fan both hung their heads and stopped talking, and also gave up the intention of chasing Zhang Fei. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Mrs. Wu chatted with Sun Quan for a while, and then left.

After leaving the hall, Mrs. Peng whispered in Mrs. Wu’s ear: “Mother, thank you this time…”

Mrs. Wu said: "It's a turbulent time now. If Zhang Fei's affairs are done, it's your Peng family."

Mrs. Peng said: "Please rest assured, my mother, I have made arrangements and let Peng Tuo wait for an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Fei."

"That's good! You have aggrieved you for your affairs with Zhongmou. After this period of crisis, I will persuade Zhongmou well." Mrs. Wu said.

Mrs. Peng nodded and said nothing more. But she was thinking in her heart: "If Peng Tuo hadn't told me this news in time, I would have been afraid that I would be alone here in this life."

It turned out that in addition to arranging Xiang Lang, Fa Zheng also arranged for Peng Tuo. He asked Peng Tuo to find Mrs. Peng and told Mrs. Peng that Zhang Fei went to Yizhou to fight, which was actually Sun Quan's idea. Because Sun Quan heard that there were many beauties in Yizhou, he asked Zhang Fei to go to Yizhou to choose some beauties back.

Mrs. Peng became jealous and immediately went to find Mrs. Wu and cried in front of Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu believed it and happened that Sun Quan came to ask him about Zhang Fei's affairs and whether to attack Yizhou. Mrs. Wu politely told Sun Quan that Zhang Fei should let him die.

Sun Quan was kept in the dark all the time. After all, he was pressing his mother on it, so he dared not to obey.

So, Sun Quan and Lu Fan did not dare to disobey Mrs. Wu's orders, so they simply focused on how to deal with the war that was about to come. (To be continued...)
