Zhao Tong went down the river and came to Wu County.
Before Sun Quan became king, he spent most of his time in Wu County, which was actually the capital of the Kingdom of Wu. Later, Sun Quan established his capital in Wuchang, and Wu County lost its status as a political center. However, Wuchang was the front line, and most of the officials' families still lived in Wu County.
, so Wu County can be regarded as a companion capital. Sun Quan was not greedy for enjoyment, and Wuchang Palace did not spend much effort to decorate it. When he returned to Wu County, he felt nothing disappointed. On the contrary, he gained a rare peace because he left the center of the battle.
Of course, it is inevitable to feel a little disappointed occasionally. Thinking that the results of thirty years of hard work have been wiped out, Sun Quan is inevitably a little resentful towards Wei Ba, the instigator. Hearing that Wei Ba suffered a big loss in Pengcheng, Sun Quan got drunk and in his dream,
The winner became him, but unfortunately, when he woke up, he found that it was just an erotic dream, and he felt melancholy for a long time.
Hearing that Sun Luban had come back to visit his relatives, Sun Quan's lonely mood suddenly improved, and a bit of vitality returned to King Wu's palace.
Sun Luban rushed in furiously like before. While he was still outside the palace gate, the voice reached Sun Quan's ears. When she rushed through the door and saw Sun Quan's old face, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Dad, why are you... so old?" Sun Luban hugged Sun Quan's arm and burst into tears.
Sun Quan blinked, looked at the hand holding Zhao Guang, raised his face, looked at his child timidly, and couldn't help but smile: "Is this my grandson Zhao An? He's so big. Dahu, you are all
If I have a child and am still immortal, do you want me to become an old thief?"
Sun Luban chuckled, turned around and shouted: "Boy, look at your uncle, you don't even know how to scream, how did your mother teach you?"
Zhao An blinked his eyes, curled his lips, and was about to cry. Sun Quan quickly pushed Sun Luban away, bent down, and took out a piece of cake from his sleeve like a magic trick, and waved it in front of Zhao An: "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhao An looked at Sun Luban with tears in his eyes.
"Sometimes I wonder if this child was born to me." Sun Luban curled his lips, turned around and left: "I'm going to see my grandma, you guys can talk."
Zhao Tong couldn't laugh or cry.
"Forget it, forget it." Sun Quan waved his hand: "Let women talk to women, and let's talk about things that men should do." He said, picked up Zhao An, stuffed the cake into his hand, and said to
Walk down the corridor.
Zhao Tong quickly followed.
Sun Quan teased Zhao An and soon became acquainted with Zhao An. Zhao An was very interested in his purple beard and kept pulling at his purple beard, which made Sun Quan scream. Zhao Tong saw it and couldn't help but sigh.
.This is the same King of Wu who competed with Cao Cao and Liu Bei for supremacy back then. Without this royal robe, he looks like an ordinary old man.
"Chengdu...isn't it peaceful?" Sun Quan pinched Zhao An's little face and suddenly said: "Prime Minister and your father, do you have anything to say to me?"
Zhao Tongyi was stunned. He raised his head and faced Sun Quan's self-deprecating eyes. Only then did he realize that the man in front of him was still the Jiangdong Tiger who once ruled the world. Although his teeth were broken and his claws were weak, his eyesight was still there. Don't look at him.
He looks like a family man. But he still has a clear understanding of the world situation.
"Yes, there are some twists and turns." Zhao Tong knew that there was no point in being secretive in front of Sun Quan, so it was better to be honest. "The battle of Pengcheng came unexpectedly, and the prime minister was a little unprepared. However, although the loss was not small, it was not hurt yet.
Fundamentally, the Prime Minister was worried that someone might misjudge the situation. So he asked me to come to Wuxian County to pay homage to the king, and by the way, it also satisfied the tiger's longing for his family."
"Such a huge loss, but it hasn't affected the foundation?" Sun Quan twisted his lips: "Your foundation is really solid. It's just that you don't know whether it is the foundation of the Han family or the foundation of the Wei family."
Zhao Tong smacked his lips and remained silent. He could tell that Sun Quan was very resentful.
Sun Quan sat down by the fish pond and put Zhao An on his lap. He swayed gently, his voice still old and slightly hoarse.
"You don't have to worry about me. My roots have been hollowed out a long time ago. Even if I have any ideas now, I can only hide under the quilt and dream." Sun Quan said: "Please help me bring a message to the Prime Minister. I was originally
I wanted to write to him, but he is such a smart person, so I don’t need to say anything. I didn’t lose at the hands of Wei Ba, I lost at the hands of a noble family. If the Prime Minister still wants to compete with Wei Ba, I must do it.
Don’t go against the aristocratic family.”
He raised his head, looked at the sparkling fish pond, looked at the small fish swimming freely in the pond, and narrowed his eyes: "Everyone knows that the Aristocratic Family is a bowl of poison. If you drink it, your intestines will rot. But this bowl
Poison has some advantages, that is, it can
Make you very powerful. We only see the poison in this bowl of poison and refuse to drink it, but Wei Ba only sees the goodness in this bowl of poison and rush to drink it. Although he will not end well in the end, but
But we can't see it anymore because we have been beaten to death by him."
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Tong sideways: "You can think of this as a curse."
Zhao Tong sighed: "Your Majesty is right, this is indeed a curse."
Sun Quan also sighed: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The aristocratic families in Wu Hui all like Wei Ba and don't like the prime minister very much. When Xiaohu heard that you were coming, he also wanted to invite you to visit him. In my opinion, I'm afraid that
Zhu Ju is a little unwilling to be lonely. Alas, all the descendants of my Sun family are rushing to serve Wei Ba, let alone the son-in-law of the Sun family. Besides, he is not the first, Lu Boyan has done it for the world."
Zhao Tong frowned. Sun Quan told him that the situation was far more serious than he expected. Under such circumstances, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong were still optimistic about Wei Ba and were unwilling to submit to the court? In this way, the prime minister's plan was probably
Failed.
Zhao Tong felt helpless when he thought of Zhuge Liang's reaction when he heard the news.
"Actually, I hate Wei Ba very much, but in the long run, I will not support the Prime Minister." Sun Quan suddenly laughed: "Although I don't know whether Wei Ba will cut down the feudal vassals and extend favors after he comes to the world, but I know that the Prime Minister
If I succeed, I will definitely not be allowed to continue to be the King of Wu. Although this King of Wu is no longer interesting, he is still a prince after all. It is the result of more than 40 years of hard work by my father, son and brothers. It is always good if I can maintain it for one more day. You
Say so?"
Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is indeed a hero who once competed in the world."
"What kind of hero? He's just an old man waiting to die now." Sun Quan turned his attention back to Zhao An: "It's rare to come here and stay in Wu County for a while." He paused and then said: "I
I like this kid very much, he looks very much like Zi Gao when he was a child."
…
In Xuchang, the long-prepared negotiations are finally about to begin. Fei Yi is the envoy and Zhuge Ke is the deputy envoy, so Zhuge Ke will take part in the first negotiation. The night before, Zhuge Ke specially came to see Fei Yi to inquire about the negotiation strategy.
Fei Yi was very surprised and said nothing for a long time: "The Prime Minister didn't tell you?"
Zhuge Ke said humbly: "Of course the Prime Minister has an explanation, but Wen Wei is the chief envoy and I am the deputy envoy. Of course we must have the same voice."
Fei Yi shrugged and laughed twice. Seeing Fei Yi's appearance, Zhuge Ke was very unhappy. He was obviously a well-educated gentleman, but he wanted to imitate Wei Ba's frivolous behavior. It was really degenerate. Those who are close to Zhuge Ke
Red, those who are close to black are black. People who are close to Wei Ba are infected with those bad habits to some extent, even Lu Xun is no exception. When he passed by Yingchuan and met with Lu Xun, Lu Xun also looked like he was ignoring him.
.
"What caliber should we unify?" Fei Yi said nonchalantly: "Dahonglu is under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's opinions are my opinions. You get instructions directly from the Prime Minister, so why do you need to relay them to me?
.Zhuge Jun, relax a little, this negotiation is just a formality, there is no need to take it seriously."
Zhuge Ke couldn't help but retorted. Since Fei Yi didn't accept his kindness, there was no need for him to touch Fei Yi's cold butt with his hot face. Everyone was doing business. "Then in Fei Jun's opinion, what is real?"
Contest.”
"Of course it's a battle on the battlefield." Fei Yi glanced at Zhuge Ke with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "When the King of Wu proclaimed himself a vassal, the negotiations went on for so long, but no reason was found. Finally, there was a breakthrough.
Isn't it because the three armies of the chariot and cavalry generals surrounded Wuchang? Zhuge Jun, although your father and uncle are all civil servants, you have led troops and fought against the chariot and cavalry generals several times. You don't even have this knowledge, right?
?”
Zhuge Ke suddenly blushed. He glared at Fei Yi and sneered: "What Fei Jun said is true. It's a pity that General Chariot and Cavalry was frustrated in Pengcheng. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have to go through this formality and directly surround Luoyang. Wouldn't it be worse?
good."
"There will be such a day." Fei Yi waved his hand and yawned: "But before that, we still have to cheer up and talk to the people of Wei. Zhuge Jun, you have the best grasp of the Prime Minister's intentions.
That’s right, I’ll leave this to you.”
"I wonder what Fei Jun will worry about again?"
"Me?" Fei Yi rolled his eyes: "Of course I have my own affairs, but there is no need to tell you. You can just report the progress of the negotiations to me. I don't need to report to you, right?"
Zhuge Ke was so choked that he rolled his eyes. He knew that this mission was not going to be completed, and Fei Yi had no intention of giving the Prime Minister any face. He originally thought that Fei Yi was once a close confidant of the Prime Minister, so he had to give him some face, and he would not be like the military.
The general in the story was so rude. Unexpectedly, Fei Yi was more direct than Lu Xun. He kept his identity as envoy and deputy envoy and showed his official authority.
What made Zhuge Ke even more angry was that Fei Yi compared his fathers Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang and called them civil servants. This is equivalent to saying that Zhuge Liang's opinions are the opinions of scholars and should not be taken seriously. In the end, they have to rely on Wei Ba and Lu Xun.
The military commander decides the direction of the world. This is simply a "ciluo" naked provocation.
It seems that without the military power in hand, he has no confidence in speaking. Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke became more determined to regain the military power.
