Chapter 88: Why should I be loyal to the leader of Soochow?
This time it was difficult.
In the past, Mi Fang was like a salted fish, especially after becoming the governor of Jiangling.
Relying on the identity of the lord's "brother-in-law", not to mention the crusade against Soochow, even on the battlefield, he could hide as far as he could.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is more interested in the goal of reviving the Mi family as a wealthy businessman than in the past prosperous years.
This is also the reason why Guan Yu looks down on him.
This man - vulgar!
But now...
Guan Yu looked at his eyes that were "wanting to see through" because of "courting Wu".
Guan Yu suddenly discovered that Mi Fang also had a bright spot!
Even though he was earthy, fat, and round, he still looked very heroic when he asked to be a pioneer.
——"This "challenging Wu" vanguard can be used in the future! It can be used!"
Immediately, Guan Yu patted his back.
"Don't worry, Zifang. Although we won't be able to attack Soochow this time,... Guan assures you that if one day our army marches eastward, Zifang will be Guan's vanguard general. No one can take away this credit!"
"
At this point, Guan Yu seemed to feel that it was not interesting, and quickly added: "Also, Zifang... Guan promised you today that if your vanguard army breaks the Stone City, the private wealth and private treasury of the Soochow King will be lost to you."
All land and property belong to you..."
Speaking of this, Guan Yu became more serious and sincere, "Zifang, you also know my son's temperament. You just said you were willing to admit defeat. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get the money and food back from him!"
"But Zifang, relax. If you don't let this debt go in vain, just think of it as something that Sun Quan Biyan'er owes you. One day, if he really conquers Stone City, everything that Sun Quan Biyan'er has will belong to Zifang! As long as Zifang is willing.
, even if he takes all Biyaner’s wives and concubines into custody, Guan will never stop him!”
Everyone has a common goal, and Guan Yu naturally becomes more and more friendly to Mi Fang.
When it comes to the latter part, the tone is already that of close friends and brothers.
"Yun Chang..."
Mi Fang burst into tears, "Yun Chang can still think about me, Fang is grateful, but... Yunchang looks down on me, Mi Fang, I... I only want money, women and other things, I can only spend money, or... or...
Give it to Yunchang, the fourth young master, he has money...he can afford it!"
Well…
Mi Fang's words left Guan Yu dumbfounded.
——"Putting more emphasis on wealth than sex!"
——"Mi Fang is also a sweetheart!"
It didn't matter if they didn't talk about it. As they chatted, the two of them became more and more speculative... Unconsciously, the two of them had the same hatred, fighting side by side, and they felt like half-brothers.
Ma Liang even smelled an "ambiguous" smell from the air.
He was also drunk...
Previously, he wrote to Zhuge Kongming several times, in which he mentioned that Mi Fang, the prefect of Jiangling, and Guan Gong were at odds with each other and were secretly opposed to each other!
If this continues, it will undoubtedly be a huge hidden danger for Jingzhou.
Logically speaking, this is a difficult problem that cannot be solved.
But inexplicably, because of a bet, because of Guan Lin's huge gamble, it was suddenly solved.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
The atmosphere had reached this point. Ma Liang rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and made the first suggestion: "Guan Gong, Liang has a merciless request..."
"Zifang is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter." Guan Yu raised his hand to signal...
——"Are you no longer an outsider?"
Ma Liang paused for a moment, then continued: "Seeing that Zifang and Guan Gong are in such harmony, my conscience is happy, I am happy for you, and I am happy for my lord. This time... Zifang came here specially. Although he mentioned that he was willing to admit defeat in a gamble, in the end
The amount of compensation is too huge, so we might as well..."
"Guan Gong took Zifang to plead with Mr. Yunqi. Mr. Yunqi is not an unreasonable person. If there is more or less... there will always be some relief for those who have less! This also makes Zifang feel better."
Ma Liang's words touched Mi Fang's heart.
Although he didn't expect to give less, he still hoped that Guan Gong would intercede on his behalf.
Of course, in Ma Liang's opinion, Mr. Yunqi would still give some of Guan Gong's face...
If there is more, I would save a few thousand dendrobium. In this way, Mi Fang would not be grateful to Guan Gong, and wouldn't the bond of this relationship be deepened?
Guan Yu rolled his eyes and pondered for a moment before chanting one word:
--"good!"
In fact, he was also murmuring in his heart, would this boy give him the honor of being a father?
Probably so?
Uh...will it?
Could it be that if this guy doesn't give him this face in public, then his Guan Gong's face... will be...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Guan Yu became!
…
…
Soochow, Jianye.
In the magnificent Wuhou Palace, the ceremonial guard at the entrance blew the trumpet and rang the drum and bell.
This is some kind of ceremony in Jiangdong, using passionate and uplifting voices to lead the souls of those heroes who died in Xiaoyaojin to find their way home.
The ministers stood in the court hall in fear, as if everyone had heard the news that "Zhang Liao was so powerful that he shocked Xiaoyaojin"...
Everyone's faces were not pretty.
Some people didn't sleep well last night...
Compared with other ministers, the leaders Zhang Zhao and Lu Su knew the purpose of this court meeting in advance.
They looked at their noses with their eyes, their noses looked at their hearts, and they remained silent.
Lu Meng glanced at Jiang Qin, and Jiang Qin looked at Ling Tong.
But even at this moment, Ling Tong, You Zi, was glaring with anger and still resenting the three hundred dead soldiers of his.
The atmosphere in the entire court was extremely silent and tragic!
Sun Quan walked slowly to the throne in the court. Many civil servants had not seen their lord for several days and found that he had become much more haggard and gloomy.
"Recently, several major events have occurred in our country in Soochow. Hefei was defeated and Xiaoyaojin was defeated again. It is our misfortune that the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling were given away again.
, even now, morality and justice are on Liu Xuande’s side, and the Jingzhou incident has been completely sealed from now on..."
Sun Quan was heartbroken by what he said. When he said this, he increased his tone and said, "Fortunately, the source of all this trouble has been found. It is the Hefei bet announced by Hong Qi of Jiangling City. I have summoned all my dear friends today to
Give Zhu Qing an explanation, declare—Zhuge Ziyu!”
The eunuch at the door shouted in a sharp voice: "Announce Zhuge Jin to the palace!"
Zhuge Jin walked slowly into the court hall, and his son Zhuge Ke also followed, but he was standing in front of the door and could not come forward...
Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin, narrowed his eyes, and showed a complicated expression. Zhuge Jin took a deep breath, knelt down and bowed respectfully to Sun Quan: "I, Zhuge Jin, pay my respects to the Marquis of Wu, and the Marquis of Wu will live forever."
"Plain body."
Zhuge Jin stood up and looked straight ahead without saying a word.
Sun Quan spoke, with a hint of coldness in his words, "Do you know your guilt?"
"I know the crime!" Zhuge Jin seemed to be able to read Sun Quan's thoughts. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I was bewitched by 'Hong Qigong' and reported this 'Hefei Betting Agreement' to the Marquis of Wu. Only then did Soochow win."
Adding fuel to the flames, he spread the news to Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Yizhou... which resulted in the entire southern border of Hefei becoming a custom. Even after Hefei was defeated, it was difficult for the three counties of Changsha to ask for help, and there was no way to mention the matter of borrowing Jingzhou. I am guilty."
Although this matter had already spread in Soochow, hearing Zhuge Jin's words still caused a slight sigh of exclamation in the court.
Everyone looked at Zhuge Jin with regret, and this regret inevitably brought out some sympathy.
Some people also looked at Zhuge Ke in unison. There is a saying that Zhuge Ke proposed the Hefei bet and told his father about it.
But this book is nothing. Even before the battle report of "Xiaoyaojin" was sent back last night, everyone still thought that Zhuge Ke was a genius and his plan was a genius!
At that time, everyone mentioned Zhuge Ke as "the jade born in Lantian", and they did not hesitate to praise him.
But who would have thought...
The higher you stand, the harder you fall!
This time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuge Ke.
Zhuge Ke, however, had a sarcastic smile on his face and remained indifferent.
Sun Quan winked to the left and right, and a eunuch passed in front of the courtiers one by one holding the "Notice" of "Hefei Bet".
Zhuge Jin also glanced sideways for a moment, and the words on the notice popped into his eyes.
——"If the leader of the Eastern Wu Kingdom invades the Han bandits from the north and captures a county in Hefei, the bandit general Guan Yu will fulfill the agreement of "the Xiang River is the boundary". From then on, the three counties of Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha will return to Jiangdong;"
——"If the ruler of Soochow fails to capture Hefei, the agreement with the Xiang River as the boundary will be abolished on the spot. From now on, Jingzhou will have nothing to do with Soochow! I hereby announce to the people of Jingzhou."
These contents made Zhuge Jin's eyes turn slightly red, and he immediately raised his eyes again.
The reason why Sun Quan came up with this "proclamation" again was because his purpose was very clear, which was to throw the blame away, to make "a hundred thousand troops return in fear" and to completely overturn the matter of "Hefei's one hundred thousand people were killed".
He, Sun Quan, is the leader of the Soochow Kingdom. He cannot bear the reputation of being "incompetent"...
But after all, someone needs to bear this infamy!
——"Zhuge Ziyu, I'm sorry! But I have no choice!"
With this in mind, with a "bang" sound, Sun Quan stood up and pointed at Zhuge Jin.
"Someone, bring that thing up!"
Sun Quan gave an order...
The guards in the palace stood up and accepted the promise, and the palace door opened.
Accompanied by a strange cry of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
A donkey covered in black was brought up. Everyone looked at the donkey and saw a note taped on the donkey's head:
——This is Zhuge Jin!
this…
Lu Su raised his head and glanced at Sun Quan in panic, murmuring in his heart: "My lord, by humiliating Zhuge Ziyu, he wants to completely reverse Xiaoyaojin's defeat? But... this is too cruel to Zhuge Ziyu!"
Immediately, Lu Su felt dizzy in his head, his body flashed... his steps staggered, and his weak body almost fell over.
Zhuge Jin was also surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.
Sun Quan looked at the donkey. He opened his mouth angrily and said to the donkey: "Zhuge Ziyu, do you know that you have lost your power and humiliated the country?"
Zhuge Jin hurriedly replied: "I was bewitched by the traitor Xiao Xiao and fell into the trap, causing Soochow to suffer losses. My lord... I..."
Before Zhuge Jin could finish speaking...
Sun Quan waved his hand, "Gu did not ask you!"
His eyes were fixed on the donkey with the words "This is Zhuge Jin" written on it. Sun Quan said fiercely: "Didn't you hear? The one I'm asking about is Zhuge Ziyu!"
"Ahem..."
Lu Su coughed violently, which was a great shame and humiliation... This was tantamount to a great shame and humiliation for Zhuge Jin!
All the officials in the dynasty were worried about Zhuge Jin.
Sun Quan glanced around at the ministers, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Jiang Wan, Gan Ning... and Ling Tong, who had calmed down a lot. Sun Quan politely walked to the donkey and personally led the donkey to Zhuge Jin.
in front of me.
"——I will be punished by death!"
Zhuge Jin kowtows like pounding garlic...
Sun Quan smiled and said, "What is your fault? It's this stupid donkey, haha... How about I ask you to lead this donkey around the hall?"
Sun Quan spoke with a smile, but anyone could hear the edge in it.
"I...I obey the decree." Zhuge Jin was so "smart" that he could understand everything Sun Quan thought and wanted to do.
However, have any members of his Zhuge clan ever suffered this humiliation?
Zhuge Jin raised his hand tremblingly and was about to lead the donkey.
Forbearance, he endured it!
He had to endure it!
at this time.
"Wait a minute..." A clear voice resounded, and everyone looked for the voice. The person who spoke was Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Ke.
Zhuge Ke knelt down and begged: "I'm going to pay my respects to the Marquis of Wu. I want to ask the Marquis of Wu for a pen on behalf of my father, so that I can add two characters on the donkey's head!"
Sun Quan raised his hand and signaled: "Give him the pen!"
He was also curious about what words Zhuge Ke wanted to add.
Zhuge Ke took the pen and after paying homage to Sun Quan again and again, he stood up and added two more words following the five words "This is Zhuge Jin":
——"Donkey!"
That's right, it's the word "Donkey"...
The original five characters have now become seven characters - this is Zhuge Jin's donkey!
This brilliant stroke made all the ministers laugh at once, and the originally tense and terrifying atmosphere in the court was as if the clouds had lifted out of the sky.
"Hahaha... This is Zhuge Ziyu's donkey. What a great addition!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Lu Su couldn't help but marvel.
——"Zhuge Ziyu gave birth to a good son!"
——"What a perfect word!"
At this moment, Zhuge Ke raised his hands towards his father and said, "The Marquis of Wu is so kind that he gave my father a donkey. My father should indeed lead this donkey around the palace to show my lord's love for my Zhuge family!"
Oh...oh...
Only then did Zhuge Jin react, "I would like to thank the Marquis of Wu..."
"Haha!" Sun Quan's expression also changed from anger to joy. He couldn't help laughing and said: "What a donkey for Zhuge Jin. In this case, I will give this donkey to your Zhuge family. The sage said, 'When you see a wise man, think about him'."
, Zhuge Ziyu must remember that when he sees this donkey, he should also think carefully about it!"
"I will keep this in mind..." Zhuge Jin quickly handed over his hand.
at this time.
——"Ah uh-ah-ah uh-ah."
I don't know why, but the donkey suddenly became excited and brayed non-stop.
Zhuge Ke said quickly: "I also thanked Marquis Wu on behalf of my father, but... the boy heard that the donkey brayed three times. When he came to the palace, the donkey brayed 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...', it was a cry for help!"
"
Zhuge Ke is actually imitating the braying of a donkey...
After shouting, he continued: "Besides, the cry of 'ah-uh-ah-uh' is a cry of fright. At this time, the 'ah-uh-ah-ah-uh-
Ah' is the courting cry of a donkey!"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Ke straightened his chest.
"It seems... my donkey is crazy about the female donkey. I sincerely ask Wu Houyun to allow me and my father to resign. Since the donkey was given by Wu Hou, my father and I should choose a good mate for this donkey!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience burst into laughter again...
Even Sun Quan couldn't help but twitch his purple beard.
After a while, he still smiled and said.
"That's right!"
Speaking of this, he did not forget to look at Zhuge Jin, "Tzuyu has a son, no wonder 'Lantian produces beautiful jade', it is really a surprise to me!"
Just like that...the court discussion with hidden murderous intentions came to an end.
On this side, Sun Quan was satisfied. After the dynasty dispersed, he specially left Lu Su to discuss how to deal with the mess.
Over there, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke were leading their donkeys on their way back home.
However, Zhuge Ke, who had just been talking eloquently, was silent at this moment, without saying a word, as if he suddenly became much gloomier...
Zhuge Jin asked him several times, but the response was always silence.
Finally, Zhuge Jin paused, turned around, and looked worriedly at his son who looked like a beautiful jade in the blue sky, "What's wrong with Ke'er?"
Zhuge Ke gritted his teeth. In fact, his back molars were clicking loudly at this moment. He was itching with hatred!
He pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, then took a step closer to his father and asked in a low voice.
——"Such a leader of Soochow? He has no responsibility!"
——"Does it make sense for my father to be loyal to him?"
As soon as he said this, Zhuge Jin covered Zhuge Ke's mouth...
