Chapter 2652 : Xie An, Xie Xuan, Xie Bauhinia, Liu Xiu defeated Wu Qi's three armies
Chapter 2652: Xie An, Xuan, Xie Zijing, Liu Xiu defeated Wu Qi’s army
At a young age, Ling Tong's basic martial arts reached the level of 101(6) Divine General, and in this balance, the King of Monster Inspiration in Journey to the West was implanted into Ling Tong's body.
When two different people merge with each other and complement each other, their basic combat strength and potential will be increased, and Ling Tong is naturally no exception.
Ling Tong, who was fused with the Inspiration King, had his base strength directly increased by 3 points, reaching the peak divine general level of 104, and there was still potential that could be tapped. However, his moral character, temperament, and conduct in life had also been underestimated by the Inspiration King.
It was affected.
The original Ling Tong was loyal, upright, and jealous of evil, but now these advantages have been greatly reduced, and he has become a little greedy and lustful.
Sun Quan also saw that Ling Tong's temperament had changed and believed that Ling Tong had been corrupted by heavy money, beauty and power, so he attracted and re-employed Ling Tong, who was once his brother's confidant.
Ling Tong was not only Sun Ce's confidant, but also Sun Ce's good friend.
Ling Cao died in battle during the unification of Jiangdong. Before his death, he entrusted Ling Tong to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce rewarded Ling Tong without thinking about the famous horse, Kneeling Li Mao, that he captured during the Japanese expedition.
This clearly shows that Sun Ce valued and trusted Ling Tong.
If it were the original upright Ling Tong, it would naturally be impossible for him to fight against Sun Ce for Sun Quan, but after merging with the Inspiration King, Ling Tong would not care so much.
Sun Ce fought all the way. He broke Zhu Cai's neck, cut off Xie Yi's head with his own hands, and killed many comrades who had fought alongside him, but what made him most angry was Ling Tong's betrayal.
Sun Ce's combat power increased sharply when he was furious. If Ling Tong had faced Sun Ce alone, he probably wouldn't have been able to stop Sun Ce for three rounds, but now Ling Tong, who is at the peak of the divine general level, can barely hold him back.
Sun Ce's offensive.
But it was just a parry.
Facing the furious Sun Ce, Ling Tong only persisted for fifty rounds before he was hit hard by Sun Ce eighteen times. His weapon flew away from his hands, and he was seriously injured, vomited blood, and fell to the ground on the spot.
Before Ling Tong could get up, Sun Ce's halberd was pointed at his throat and he was captured alive on the spot.
Looking at the frightened Ling Tong, Sun Ce's eyes were full of disappointment. He couldn't believe that the upright and fearless Ling Tong had now turned into such a greedy and fearful person.
"Gongji, you disappoint me so much."
Hearing Sun Ce's words, Ling Tong's eyes were full of shame. Although he was influenced by the inspiration king, his behavior was mainly dominated by the memory of the past.
Ling Tong recalled how kind Sun Ce was to him, but for him to fight Sun Ce just for a small favor from Sun Quan, it was indeed a shame.
"Bo Fu, Ling Tong was also confused for a while."
Sun Bin advised. He also felt that Ling Tong's temperament had changed too much and he could no longer be trusted, but he still chose to persuade Sun Ce to put aside his grudge. After all, one more person to support him now would give him more strength.
Sun Ce's heart had been broken by Sun Quan, Ling Tong and others. Naturally, he did not forgive Ling Tong so easily. Instead, he glared at Sun Quan who was bound by Wu Hua Da, and sneered: "Zhong Mou, you are really good at it, you are so short."
In just a few moments, Ling Tong can become so depraved that he almost doesn’t even recognize me anymore.”
Sun Quan was completely desperate at this time. He knew that if he fell into Sun Ce's hands, he would definitely not end well, so he was completely fearless.
"Brother, you are a good tactician. You have been hiding in Luoyang for two years and couldn't bear to come out. But once you make a move, you make a big splash and defeat my plans for several years. It's so good. I'm willing to give in to my second brother."
As soon as Sun Quan said this, many people present, including Huang Gai and Ling Tong, looked at Sun Ce and their eyes changed instantly.
At this time, the image of Sun Ce in their hearts had changed from the reckless and impulsive one before to a daring hero like Gou Jian and a blockbuster hero like King Zhuang of Chu.
But Sun Ce fell into silence after listening to Sun Quan's words.
Sun Quan thought that he was hiding in Luoyang for two years and was deliberately holding back to wait for the opportunity to seize power. However, only Sun Ce himself knew that he just couldn't bear the blow and was hiding in Luoyang to escape reality and responsibility.
If Sun Bin had not planned this coup for him, Sun Ce would not have been able to capture Sun Quan by himself.
Of course, Sun Ce didn't have any intention to explain, so this misunderstanding only strengthened his image.
Sun Ce stepped forward without warning and slapped Sun Quan twice so hard that Sun Quan's face swelled instantly and half of his teeth were knocked out. Then he lifted Sun Quan up like a chicken, and said angrily
Said: "Tell me, did you kill my father?"
Although Sun Quan had been stunned by Sun Ce and knew that he was in danger this time, he could not admit that he had killed his father, so he gritted his teeth and said: "My father was mad at you, so what do you have to do with me?"
relation."
Seeing that Sun Quan was still arrogant, Sun Ce laughed angrily and said: "Second brother, you are still arrogant even when you are about to die. When did you become so strong-willed? Brother, I want to see if it is your bones that are hard or not.
The instruments of torture in the sky prison are hard, I will give you a try of all the punishments in the sky prison and see if you still tell the truth."
When Sun Quan heard the glare, his expression suddenly changed. During his time in power, he sent many people to the sky prison. He knew that if they went to the sky prison, their lives would be worse than death, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Brother, in this case, even if
I really said it, but that’s just giving in, so does it make sense? You might as well just kill me."
"It seems that I have always underestimated you, eldest brother. Second brother, you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
As he spoke, Sun Ce cut off the ropes on Sun Quan's body with his sword, then threw a dagger to Sun Quan and said: "If you really don't want to live a life worse than death, you can kill yourself by yourself, so that you won't be tortured."
Sun Ce's move caused Sun Bin, Huang Gai and others to change their expressions. After all, once Sun Quan dies, it will not be that easy to seize power from the aristocratic family smoothly. Sun Quan is still useful and cannot just die like this.
Sun Bin immediately prepared to speak to dissuade him, but Sun Ce did not give him a chance to speak.
"Come on, if you kill yourself, you won't have to suffer torture." Sun Ce sneered.
Sun Quan's face turned even paler. He tremblingly picked up the dagger and pointed it at his heart, but he couldn't stab it. How could a person like him who was afraid of death have the courage to commit suicide?
Sun Ce knew Sun Quan, and he concluded that Sun Quan would not dare to commit suicide, so he untied him and gave him the dagger to commit suicide.
Seeing that Sun Quan really didn't dare to commit suicide, Sun Ce became even more angry. After dodging one and grabbing the dagger, he knocked Sun Quan down with another slap and spat at him and cursed: "You are a coward.
You coward, why are you pretending to be a hero?"
With that said, he was about to step forward and beat Sun Quan violently to vent his anger, but was stopped by Sun Bin and Huang Gai. After all, Sun Ce was so angry that he didn't have a sense of proportion. If he really let him do it, he might really be able to beat Sun Quan to death.
"Bo Fu, calm down, the next plan is important." Sun Bin advised.
After hearing Sun Bin's words, Sun Ce also regained his composure. After all, he was very grateful to Sun Bin. If Sun Bin hadn't planned for him, he wouldn't have been able to catch Sun Quan so easily.
Although Sun Quan has captured it, the war is not over yet.
Sun Bin relied on false news to mobilize the troops in the palace, and Sun Quan called this army before fleeing, and mobilized the Xicheng garrison to suppress the rebellion. However, these two armies were overthrown by the people organized by Wu Zixu.
Because of the obstruction, support cannot reach the palace within a short period of time.
But after such a long period of dredging, the generals of the two armies had already controlled the people and rushed to the palace.
Naturally, Sun Bin had expected this. After all, relying on false news and the common people, being able to hold off an army of 20,000 for a few hours was obviously the limit. It would be impossible to delay any longer, so he ordered Sun Wu to lead an army in advance.
Thousands of dead soldiers guarded the palace gate.
After arriving at the palace, the palace guards led by Zhou Tai and Xie An's Ximen garrison launched a fierce attack without even talking to Sun Wu.
Zhou Tai originally wanted to ask if he was an enemy or a friend, but Xie An said that it was not necessary. The rebels must have already invaded the palace, and those who were left to guard the palace gate must be the rebels.
Sun Wu is worthy of being the most famous general in Soochow. A thousand dead soldiers under his command actually blocked the elite Wu army of 20,000 to 30,000 for two hours.
Just when Sun Wu was about to lose his hold, Sun Ce, in the name of Sun Quan, sent Wu Fen and Sun Chuanting, who had abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, to announce that all the rebels who had invaded the palace had been eliminated, and ordered the kings to return to their military camps to wait for orders.
This kind of trick is okay to deceive Zhou Tai, but it is obviously impossible to deceive Xie An.
It's just that Wu Fen and Sun Chuanting came out with such an order, indicating that Sun Quan has now fallen into the hands of Sun Ce.
Both Xie An and Zhou Tai were worried about Sun Quan's safety. In order to prevent Sun Ce from losing his way, they naturally did not dare to make any changes. They could only withdraw their troops temporarily and make long-term plans.
When Sun Ce saw that Zhou Tai and Xie An had chosen to retreat as Sun Bin said, he felt relieved and immediately started the second part of Sun Bin's plan.
Sun Ce asked Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to take over the military power of Yuzhang and Lujiang with the edict written in the name of Sun Quan, while he himself, with the assistance of Sun Bin, stayed in Jianye to deal with Xie An and Zhou Tai, while fighting for
Support from more generals.
The news that Sun Ce openly launched a coup, broke into the palace, and captured Sun Quan soon spread throughout the major military camps in Jianye.
The poor families and the common people naturally cheered. After all, Sun Quan had completely cut off the promotion ladder for common people. It was too ugly to eat the prime minister. If Sun Ce took power, it would never be worse than Sun Quan.
The aristocratic family faction was in mourning. After all, they had only lived a good life for two years after Sun Quan became King of Wu. They did not expect that Sun Ce would come back so soon and directly capture Sun Quan.
"Brother, after Sun Quan fell to Sun Ce, Sun Ce has become invincible. There must be many generals in the army who will turn to Sun Ce.
The envoy sent by Sun Ce also said that everything will continue as usual. If our Xie family continues to go against Sun Ce, when Sun Ce becomes King of Wu, he will definitely liquidate my Xie family." Xie Xuan advised with an anxious look.
Xie Xuan and Xie An are both Bronze Hundred Callers, hidden figures in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After they were born, they were implanted into the Xie family in Jiangdong and became brothers.
Xie An was a prime minister in history, so he naturally knew that Sun Ce had the upper hand, but he also knew that Sun Ce would make these promises just to stabilize the Jiangdong family that had been in power before them.
After the situation is completely stabilized, when Sun Ce seizes power, it is absolutely impossible for things to continue as before. After all, Sun Ce is not Sun Quan, and he does not need aristocratic families to help him gain power.
Xie An saw these things very thoroughly, and there were some things he saw through without telling them. Now unless Sun Quan is rescued, it is impossible to defeat Sun Ce.
Sun Quan is the backbone of the Jiangdong family. If he is not around, the Jiangdong family will be in disarray. It will be easy for Sun Ce to divide them and win them over, and they will be unable to unite to deal with Sun Ce.
"Hey, it would be great if Fourth Sister was here. With her strength, she might be able to stop Sun Ce. Then at least she would have a chance to save the lord."
Xie An sighed softly, and the fourth sister he mentioned was exactly the scorpion spirit implanted into the Xie family, Xie Zijin, among the balanced figures this time.
Although Xie Zijin is born as a girl, her talent in martial arts is extremely outstanding. She was a first-rate warrior at the age of twelve, a top-notch warrior at the age of thirteen, and a god general at the age of fifteen.
The Xie family did not have a high concentration of advanced martial arts, but Xie Zijin went to the Central Plains alone to learn from his masters in order not to waste his talents. He returned home several times along the way and competed with generals such as Ling Tong and Zhou Tai.
No one is her opponent.
If Xie An wanted to rescue Sun Quan, the biggest obstacle was Sun Ce, but Zhou Tai was not Sun Ce's opponent, so he thought of his sister Xie Zijin, but unfortunately her sister was not in Jiangdong either.
Xie An knew that there must be many generals, such as Zheng Zhilong, Pang Juan, Tian Ji, Ling Yunyi and other weak generals, who might have turned to Sun Ce. Coupled with Xie Xuan's lobbying, his heart was also biased towards Sun Ce.
But at this time, the arrival of a person changed Xie An's view, and this person's official pseudonym was Sima Yi of Zhongda.
Sima Yi only said one sentence to dispel the idea of Xie An and Xie Xuan surrendering to Sun Ce, that is, Sun Ce killed Xie Yi.
Xie Yi was implanted as the father of Xie An and Xie Xuan. If Sun Ce killed him, it would be impossible for Xie An and Xie Xuan, as sons, to submit to Sun Ce anyway.
At the same time, King Liu Xiu of Chu also received a summons from Sima Yi. After hearing the news of the civil strife in Sun Wu, he held a meeting overnight and decisively decided to dispatch all the troops from across the country and divide them into three armies to attack Wu. He vowed to never destroy Wu.
