Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

I heard that Sun Ce took Wu Jun, Yuan Shu, and the rest of the people present had weird expressions. Apart from not being able to believe that Sun Ce could really do it, another important reason is that although this matter is beneficial to Yuan Shu, it also has He also slapped Yuan Shu in the face severely.

At the beginning in Nanyang, Sun Ce captured Zhang Yun with less victories and more, and used only a hundred troops to frighten the Xinye army from going out of the city.

Ordinarily for such achievements, Sun Ce should be rewarded heavily later, but Yuan Shu cut off most of Sun Ce's achievements at once on the grounds that Sun Ce lost Zhang Yun after winning Zhang Yun and handled things improperly, and finally only recommended him a school lieutenant .

Yuan Shu's move was very stingy, but it was also his helpless move.

After Sun Jian's death, the rest of the tribe all voted for Yuan Shu, who was relatively famous. As Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce was also very brave. Therefore, Sun Ce's prestige in the hearts of these people is naturally extraordinary, even higher than Yuan Shu.

This situation was difficult for Yuan Shu to accept, so Yuan Shu had no choice but to suppress Sun Ce temporarily, and was prepared to reuse him after a long time, when the influence of the Sun family father and son faded away.

Originally, Sun Ce in history was relatively peaceful when he was under Yuan Shu's command, but Sun Ce in this world, because of Li Yi's relationship, felt resentment in his heart, and he always wanted to find opportunities to stand out, which obviously did not meet Yuan Shu's requirements. Therefore, Yuan Shu's suppression of Sun Ce became more obvious, and Sun Ce's rebound became more intense.

The last time Sun Ce persuaded Yuan Shu to kill Li Yi, and contradicted Yuan Shu in public, Yuan Shu was very annoyed, so he simply sent Sun Ce to Wu County, and only gave Sun Ce less than 1000 people, but the task was still very heavy, and he was asked Making maps of Wu County and plundering food was bitter and tiring, not to mention ruining his reputation, and risking his life.

Yuan Shu did this to suppress Sun Ce's temperament, but he didn't think that Sun Ce would be so fierce. Not only was he not hit by Yuan Shu, but with 1000 people, he took down Wu County with over [-] troops and beheaded Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu County. , although this result was very gratifying and promoted the expansion of Yuan Shu's power, it also pushed Yuan Shu's face to the ground. .

Li Yi asked Yuan Huan a few more questions in a low voice. Although he didn't understand everything well, he roughly understood Sun Ce's situation, and then set his sights on Ling Cao, who was also a famous brave general. , It's a pity that he died a little earlier, otherwise Ling Cao would definitely have a place among Jiang Biao's tiger ministers.

Yuan Shu poured a glass of wine himself, and asked someone to deliver it to Ling Cao. After he drank it, he asked, "Tell me about how Sun Ce destroyed Wu County. If Yuan didn't remember Wrong, there are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Wu County, so it is not so easy to win."

Facing Yuan Shu's question, Ling Cao didn't hesitate at all, and said decisively: "Lieutenant Sun was inquiring about the news in Wu County, and learned that Xu Gong, the captain of Wu County, and Sheng Xian, the governor of Wu County, have always had a suspicion. Lieutenant Zhu Zhi was the late Sun Taishou's old department. Although he was not trusted by Sheng Xian, he had a lot of contacts, so Sun Xiaowei presented a generous gift to Xu Gong. Xu Gong and Zhu Zhi joined forces to open the city gate and let General Sun enter the city. Sheng Xian's resistance was defeated and he was beheaded by Captain Sun."

"Okay, very good, Sun Ce's bravery is no less than that of Wentai in the past, and he has a strategy. He took Wu County skillfully with light troops. This is a great achievement!"

Yuan Shu's face was full of smiles, as if he was really happy. However, deep in his eyes was a thick haze. There were a few people under his command who also showed expressions similar to Yuan Shu's.

After Yuan Shu arrived in Yangzhou, he was not a mad dog. Seeing whoever bites someone is like Sheng Xian. Yuan Shu also sent an official letter first, asking Sheng Xian to come to Shouchun for a visit. Put your mind first, that's fine, the prefect of Wujun is still Sheng Xian.

However, Sheng Xian was very shameless towards Yuan Shu. Whether it was sending troops to harm the people or sending troops to Yuzhang for no reason, Sheng Xian was dissatisfied. So instead of agreeing to Yuan Shu, Sheng Xian wrote back and scolded Yuan Shu, making Yuan Shu Very annoying.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu was determined to take down Wu County, but he tried many methods and spent a lot of effort, but to no avail.

But even Yuan Shu couldn't do it, but Sun Ce did it. How could Yuan Shu feel so embarrassed?

This situation made Yuan Shu dislike Sun Jian's former troops even more, and at the same time, it also made Yuan Shu more determined in his heart to suppress Sun Ce.

Seeing Yuan Shu's praise of Sun Ce, Ling Cao didn't ask Yuan Shu what he would reward, and directly said: "The villain pays his respects to the envoy on behalf of Captain Sun!"

Yuan Shu smiled, raised his hand to signal Ling Cao to sit down again, and asked, "How is the situation in Wu County now, the rest of the people are still convinced, is Xiaoxiao taking the opportunity to make trouble?"

Ling Cao replied: "Because General Sun has few troops, he is only guarding one area of ​​Wu County for the time being. In other places, there are several powerful forces who have joined forces and rebelled against the government's orders. Among them, the brothers of the Yan family are the most important. Captain Sun intends to attack. The troops are insufficient, so besides reporting to the envoy this time, I also hope that the envoy can send more troops in the coming year to completely pacify Wu County."

Yuan Shu opened the letter sent before, nodded and said: "This matter should be cautious, we will discuss the details later, and you can tell us about the situation in Wu County."

"Here."

Ling Cao responded, and continued: "After killing Sheng Xian, several people in the city successively led troops to resist, and were finally killed by Captain Sun one by one. Now the city is basically stable."

When Yuan Shu listened to Ling Cao's narration, his gaze also fell to the second half of the letter, and a burst of anger suddenly arose in his heart.

Sun Ce was too ruthless. According to the letter, Sun Ce basically killed all the high-ranking officials in Wu County, and there was only one master book left, whose surname was Sun!

Suddenly, Yuan Shu remembered that Sun Ce's hometown is from Wu County, and now the high-ranking officials of Wu County have basically been killed. If the remaining generals of Wu County are taken away, then

The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He was not afraid of Sun Ce. After all, no one would have thought that Sun Ce was the founder of Sun Wu's foundation. Yuan Shu was worried that if Sun Ce made any changes, even if he could be killed, such a thing It was a big blow to his reputation and the morale of Yangzhou as a whole.

His teeth were itching with hatred in his heart, but Yuan Shu still looked very happy on the surface, and asked again: "How are the two generals Zhu Zhi and Xu Gong doing now? Can you come to Shouchun? Since they can abandon the dark and turn to the bright, this is a righteous move. As the lord of Yangzhou, he must be rewarded heavily."

Ling Cao replied again: "Because the city has changed hands, in order to protect the peace of the people in the county, the city defense is now in charge of Zhu Duwei's army. It will arrive in a day."

When Yuan Shu was questioning before, some people in the hall were still whispering. After all, this matter is good news, and after Wu Jun was defeated, how to take over, and the follow-up also involved various aspects, all of which required them to make arrangements. .

Now, no one in the hall dared to speak out indiscriminately, because what Ling Cao said, they also tasted something wrong.

Killing the prefect, the county magistrate, and the meritorious officer, and letting Xu Gong, one of the two captains, come to Shouchun, so that only Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi, who has a good relationship with the Sun family, are left in Wu County. What is he trying to do? ?

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth, and asked with restraint, "So, Sun Ce will return with Xu Gong in the next year?"

Ling Cao bowed slightly, lowered his head and said, "Lieutenant Sun took the lead when he entered Wu County. Although he was victorious, he was covered with arrows. I'm afraid it will be difficult to run around in a short time."

"boom!"

Yuan Shu couldn't bear it any longer, stood up abruptly, dropped the wine cup in his hand to the ground, pointed at Ling Cao and shouted angrily, "Sun Ce thought he could turn his back on Yuan because he thought that he would conquer Wu County!"

Being scolded by Yuan Shu, Ling Cao was terrified. He hurriedly left the table, prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "Please envoy Jun Mingjian, Sun Xiaowei really hurt his self-cultivation, and he has no second thoughts about envoy Jun. When the city was broken that day, A soldier who wanted to rob the treasury was also beheaded by Xiaowei Sun on the spot, and then sealed up the treasury. There is no disrespect to the envoy!"

What Ling Cao said was sincere, but how could Yuan Shu believe it?

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, and asked everyone present: "Everyone, what do you think of the matter in Wu County?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one spoke for a while, it wasn't that they couldn't think of a solution, it was just that this matter came too fast, and if it wasn't handled properly, it might have a huge impact, they had to think carefully before they dared to offer their words and suggestions.

Normally, Yuan Shu would definitely understand everyone, but now he was so angry at what Sun Ce did, he let out another cold snort, and was about to get angry. Seeing this, Yan Xiang quickly stood up and said to Yuan Shu: "My lord, Sun Ce doesn't seem like someone who doesn't know the seriousness. His subordinates think that he can be recalled to Shouchun to recover from his injuries, and then another general will be sent to guard Wu County. Then all misunderstandings will be clear."

Yuan Shu nodded, he knew that although Yan Xiang seemed to be speaking for Sun Ce, the premise was to let Sun Ce return to Shouchun to recuperate, but does Sun Ce dare to come back now?

Just when Yuan Shu was about to order Sun Ce to return, Ling Cao stepped forward and bowed again: "Your Majesty, Captain Sun is indeed seriously injured and it is difficult to travel around, but as Captain Sun said, it is inevitable that there will be leisure when leading troops abroad." Gossip and gossip are to show the heart of fist and fist, and I hope that the emperor will agree to let his younger brother Sun Quan enter Shouchun to accompany the eldest son to read!"

Chapter 297 Forgive Him

"what?"

After hearing Ling Cao's words, Yuan Shu's anger was as if he had thrown himself on the icy water, and his aura suddenly stagnated.

At the same time, Yuan Shu still had a strong sense of absurdity in his heart.

Sun Ce sent his younger brother to be a companion to Yuan Yao. To put it bluntly, he is a hostage. How is this possible!

Yuan Shu didn't believe it, and neither did the civil and military men under Yuan Shu's command!

Although it is said that because of Sun Jian's matter, Sun Ce has been dealt a great blow. He seldom talks and laughs on weekdays, and even acts a little extreme in his actions, but those who have been in contact with Sun Ce actually know that Sun Ce is actually a very good person.

Sun Ce respects his mother at home and loves his younger siblings. Except for the basic daily necessities, all the rewards and property he received from Yuan Shu were sent back home. wronged.

It can be said that although Sun Ce is very young, he is very qualified as the eldest brother. He has already stood up to the entire Sun family and has become the well-deserved pillar of the family.

In this regard, even Yuan Shu admired him very much. He had personally praised Sun Ce, and even had the idea of ​​adopting Sun Ce as his adopted son, but Sun Ce himself was unwilling.

Seeing Yuan Shu paused, Ling Cao knew that Yuan Shu had wavered, so he said in his heart that it was true, and said while the iron was hot: "Your envoy, this statement is absolutely true. Lieutenant Sun has sent someone back to Fuchun's hometown to make arrangements, but please allow me a few more days. After the new year, Sun Xiaowei and his younger brother will return to Shouchun to meet the envoy."

Yuan Shu's face was troubled. He noticed that what Ling Cao said was that not only Sun Quan, but also Sun Ce would come back together when he came out.

Could it be that he thought too much and wronged Sun Ce?

Yuan Shu was troubled in his heart. At this time, he was also a little uncertain. He vaguely felt that most of them had misunderstood Sun Ce, but he was obviously angry just now. If he lost his temper now, wouldn't he make himself a joke?
