Farmer of Shu Han

Soochow.

Wuchang.

Going to the gate of the General's Mansion, no one would dare to ride a horse here on weekdays.

Even if Sun Deng, the prince who stayed behind in Wuchang, passed by the gate of the general's mansion, he would dismount.

After Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, he moved the capital to Jianye, leaving Prince Sun Deng and other princes to stay in Wuchang.

At the same time, Lu Xun was recruited from Nanjun to Wuchang to manage the affairs of the palace and entrusted the prince to him.

Therefore, from the crown prince down to the prince's clan, Lu Xun has the right to supervise.

But today, someone broke this rule.

A fast horse rushed to the gate of the Great General's Mansion. Before the horse stopped, the knight had already dismounted: "Urgent report!"

The guards guarding the gate of the Great General's Mansion had already seen the herald flag carried by the other party, and quickly stepped forward to support the knight, while someone took over the horse.

When Lu Xun heard an urgent report, he hurried to the vestibule.

"General, there is an urgent report from Jiangling!"

Even before the hot summer, Qi Chuan was still sweating profusely, reporting to Lu Xun loudly.

Lu Xun took the urgent mail from Qi Chuan, checked Feng Ni, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he asked Qi Chuan to help him down to rest.

He picked open the mud, took out the silk cloth inside, and after sweeping it hastily, his face suddenly changed, and then he showed the same expression as expected.

After he sat down, he looked at it carefully from the beginning to the end again, and finally pondered for a while, the expression on his face became a little gloomy.

Suddenly, Lu Xun suddenly shouted:

"Come on!"

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Immediately send someone to the palace and say that I have something urgent to meet the prince."

"promise."

After finishing the order, Lu Xun immediately asked someone to prepare a car to drive, and hurried to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Prince Sun Deng had already been waiting at the gate of the palace in person.

"I have seen His Highness."

"You can't be honored with such an important gift as a general, please go to the general."

Sun Deng quickly returned the gift, led Lu Xun to the East Palace, and asked Lu Xun to sit up, and then asked:

"The great general said he had something urgent to see me? But I don't know what it is?"

"Please take a look, Your Highness."

Lu Xun handed over the urgent letter from Jiangling.

Sun Deng took it over and looked at it with some doubts, with a happy expression on his face:

"Cao thief invaded the Han country this time, and he suffered a disastrous defeat. It's really great. It seems that the sky is going to destroy the thief!"

Lu Xun's face twitched.

... This prince of our Great Wu Kingdom is really a benevolent monarch!

"This... this... this Feng Yong is so amazing?"

After seeing that Feng Yong defeated Cao Zhen's 100,000 troops with 20,000 troops, Sun Deng's face finally changed.

Although Feng Yong's reputation is not small, Cao Zhen is the number one in Cao's bandit army!

What's more, when Feng Yong was cut off from the back, Cao Zhen waited for work with ease, and occupied the favorable location in advance.

"Is this battle comparable to the Battle of Chibi?"

Shocked, Sun Deng blurted out.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sun Deng knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and subconsciously glanced at the palace servants waiting on his left and right.

I saw that the palace people all lowered their eyes and bowed their heads, looking very submissive, as if they didn't hear anything.

But Sun Deng knew that what he said just now would be sent to His Majesty's desk within a few days.

Sun Deng secretly regretted in his heart: If it was because of important military affairs, it would be good to dismiss these people first.

Lu Xun didn't think so much, he just shook his head and said:

"The battle of Xiaoguan, how can it be compared with the time when His Majesty personally led the army to fight Cao Cao in Chibi? Who is Cao Cao? Who is Cao Zhen?"

Sun Deng quickly interjected: "That's right, that's right, I made a slip of the tongue!"

"However, compared to the Yiling battle, it is much more dangerous. Feng Yong is a man that cannot be underestimated."

Lu Xun didn't care about his own face, and generously thought that the battle of Yiling was not as good as the battle of Xiaoguan.

"When I was in Jiangling, I paid a lot of attention to this person. I heard that this person gave advice when Zhuge Liang was in the south."

"According to Zhang Huishu (Zhang Wen), this person offered Quyuan plows, eight ox plows, etc., so that the grain harvest of the Shu Kingdom continued year after year, and the rule of Yue was so convincing to the barbarians."

"During the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang once again fought Wei's famous general Zhang He at Jieting, and now he defeated Cao Zhen again at Xiaoguan."

"In fact, he is a man who is good at both herdsmen and army, and who is well-versed in civil, political and military affairs."

Hearing his family's top general make such a high evaluation of Feng Yong, Sun Deng's expression became a little unnatural.

No one else, because as soon as Sun Deng heard Feng Yong's name, he would immediately think of the tiger girl from the Guan family who wanted to marry him but couldn't.

The daughter of the Guan family would rather marry Feng Yong than herself. Doesn't it mean that in her eyes, she is not as good as Feng Yong?

It is precisely because of this lingering thought that Sun Deng recommended Zhuge Ke, the guest of the East Palace, to Sun Quan when he heard the envoy from Shu come to praise Feng Yong last time.

In fact, there is a mentality in my heart:

If Zhuge Ke can really make a contribution, it is enough to prove that Feng Yong is only a figure who can only be compared with his guests, and is not qualified to compare with himself.

It's just that His Majesty initially asked Zhuge Ke to manage the food affairs in the army. Later, the Prime Minister of Shu listened to it and wrote to persuade His Majesty.

It was said that Zhuge Ke was careless by nature, and it was not suitable to manage grain affairs, so His Majesty asked Zhuge Ke to lead the army.

It can be said that the crown prince himself speaks less than the prime minister of Shu.

But that's fine, Zhuge Ke had the opportunity to speak up, saying that he could lead the army to pacify Shanyue, which lives in Danyang Mountain.

And assure His Majesty that in just three years, at least 40,000 soldiers can be recruited.

In the past, it was not that the imperial court did not conquer Danyang Shanyue, but Danyang's terrain was dangerous, and it was adjacent to Wujun, Kuaiji, Xindu, and Poyang.

In addition, copper and iron come out of the mountains, and the people build their own armored soldiers. Their customs are fond of martial arts, and they are noble in strength.

The imperial court has repeatedly sent troops to conquer it, looking for its caves, and the civil wars in Shanyue are full of swarms, and when defeated, the birds flee, so that the imperial court often returns without success.

Zhuge Ke said that it would be settled in three years, and all the officials in the court thought that it was just young and ignorant, who didn't know the seriousness, and they were afraid that it would be a waste of money and people, so the matter has not been resolved.

At this time, Sun Deng was stimulated by the news of Feng Yong's victory over Cao Zhen, and his thoughts were disturbed immediately.

Originally, he thought that if Zhuge Ke could pacify Shanyue and solve the court's long-standing headache, at the same time he could collect 40,000 Shanyue's soldiers.

Then it is enough to compare Feng Yongnan's conquest of Nanzhong.

At the same time, Zhuge Ke has also accumulated credit, as long as there is a war in the north, he can participate.

With Zhuge Ke's talent, he will be able to make military exploits again at that time. If the envoys of the Shu people dare to praise Feng Yong in the state of Wu in the future, Zhuge Ke will certainly be the one.

And Zhuge Ke was originally a guest of the prince, and at the same time he was personally recommended by the prince. At that time, as the prince, he would be enough to overwhelm Feng Yong.

It's just that he was afraid that Zhuge Ke's remarks were just exaggerated, as the officials said, so he kept hesitating.

Unexpectedly, before he made up his mind, Feng Yong would become a famous general in the world.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Deng felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart: Hunv from the Guan family, really has a unique vision?

Naturally, Lu Xun didn't know that Sun Deng was just sitting there, thinking about so many things in the short time he spoke.

At this time, he was actually a little worried:

"Your Highness, when Zhuge Liang entered Hanzhong, I knew that he would want to attack Wei. I once said to His Majesty that the country of Shu is weak and the people are exhausted. If we entangle with Wei's bandits in Yongliang, it will be a long time before we decide."

"At that time, the power of Shu will only be further weakened, and the people of Shu will have to ask Wu further."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to rule Shu well, and Feng Yongxiao was brave and good at fighting, but let the Shu people attack Longyou."

After Zhang Wen returned to Wu as an envoy to Shu, he once strongly praised the beauty of Shu's government, but His Majesty was not happy to hear it, so he dismissed him by taking advantage of Jiyan's affairs.

Thinking about it now, what Zhang Wen said was true.

Otherwise, how could the Kingdom of Shu have been able to recover in just a few years, and even have more military power than before, and took Longyou from the people of Wei.

I heard that in the Battle of Longyou, Feng Yong first led the army to attack Longguan, and then returned to the army to defend the Jieting.

"I think after Zhuge Liang, Feng Yong will definitely become a pillar of Shu people. He is about the same age as His Highness. I am afraid that we will have to deal with this person in the future. Your Highness still needs to pay more attention to this talent."

When Sun Deng heard this, he quickly responded:

"To tell you the truth, General, I have actually been paying attention to this man for a long time! This man is only two years older than me, and he has achieved such achievements. It is really eye-catching."

"I think that Jiangdong is a place where talents come forth in large numbers. Is it possible that no one can compare with it? Therefore, I recommended Zhuge Yuanxun to His Majesty before, just to try to see if I can pick out outstanding talents, and to avoid that The people of Shu overwhelmed me from the state of Wu."

When Lu Xun heard the words, he also remembered Zhuge Ke's three-year flattening of Danyang Shanyue.

He didn't want to say much on the matter.

After all, he and Zhuge Jin had a good relationship, and the two had cooperated in Jingzhou for many years. Zhuge Jin was not optimistic about Zhuge Ke's move, and even said to himself that Zhuge Ke was not the one who made the family happy, but the one who brought disaster to the family.

Zhuge Jin meant this, so how could Lu Xun get involved?

It's just that after the Shu people acquired Longyou, and now they have gone through the battle of Xiaoguan, Liangzhou is probably already in the mouth of the Shu Kingdom.

I heard that the Nanzhong barbarians called Feng Yong the King of Ghosts, and I heard that most of the Hu people in Longyou respectfully called Mr. Feng, and he is also very good at subduing the barbarians.

If Wu can't defeat the Wei bandits abroad, and can't conquer the mountains inside, I'm afraid that in the future, as the prince said, he will be overwhelmed by the people of Shu.

After the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei once wrote a letter to himself, saying that he wanted to go east again, but he not only pushed him back, but also persuaded the other party to make good friends with Wu Guo.

Liu Bei finally had to follow.

It was because Wu State overwhelmed the Shu people at that time.

Another example is that His Majesty ascended the Great Treasure for the first time, and sent people to Shu, suggesting that the people of Shu recognize that the two emperors should stand side by side.

Zhuge Liang also suppressed criticism and personally sent people to congratulate him. This was also because the people of Shu still wanted Wu, so they had to listen.

If one day, the people of Shu surpassed the state of Wu, I'm afraid they might not have the same attitude as they do now.

Now that the state of Shu is becoming more and more powerful, this is actually forcing the state of Wu to move forward and not to fall behind.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun finally nodded and said:

"Your Highness has a heart. Zhuge Ke is indeed a man of outstanding talent. He promises that he will succeed, if not, just believe him once."

"This time I want to go back to Jianye to meet His Majesty in person, and I can bring this matter up then."

Sun Deng was overjoyed immediately: "If you have the words of the great general, His Majesty will definitely agree to it."

Seeing Sun Deng's happy expression, Lu Xun couldn't help asking:

"Your Highness first recommended Zhuge Ke, but now everyone in the court doesn't believe Zhuge Ke's words, and His Highness believes that he can accomplish things, why?"

Sun Deng said frankly: "I have known Yuan Xun for a long time, and I know his talent. If I recommend him, I will trust him."

"After the Battle of Longyou, I also asked the envoys of the Shu Kingdom many times. I knew that Feng Yong took the initiative to invite Ying to attack Longguan. How did Zhuge Kongming know that it would be successful? But if you use it, you will believe it. !"

When Lu Xun heard it, his face was full of joy: "Your Highness should have the style of His Majesty. In the battle between Chibi and Yiling in the past, Your Majesty also believed in Zhou Gongjin and Wei Chen's use, so that there will be great victories later."

"This time when I go back, I will tell His Majesty about His Highness's virtues, so that His Majesty won't worry about Your Highness."

It's good that Lu Xun didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, Sun Deng remembered that he had been away from His Majesty for more than two years, and he hadn't seen each other during this period, and there was a look of sadness on his face:

"I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I miss him so much. I can't serve by my father's side, it's really unfilial."

"After the great general returns, please send my respects to my father, and let him take good care of his body."

As he spoke, he actually choked up a little:

"Thinking back, I used to play with my third brother in the palace, and now I don't know how he is doing? Recently, he sent someone from Jianye to say that he wanted to see me."

The third younger brother Sun Deng talked about was Sun He, whose biological mother was Mrs. Wang, who was Sun Quan's favorite concubine besides Bu Lianshi.

Sun He was deeply loved by Sun Quan because of his mother's dignity.

After Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, all the princes and sons stayed in Wuchang, and Sun He was also taken to Jianye by Sun Quan because he was young.

In contrast, Sun Deng's biological mother was first transferred to Mrs. Xu to be raised because of her humble background.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu was dismissed by Sun Quan because of her sexual jealousy, and she was sent back to live in Wujun.

Therefore, in terms of background, whether Sun Deng is his biological mother or adoptive mother, he is not as noble as Sun He's biological mother, Mrs. Wang.

It is precisely because of these reasons that although Sun Deng is the eldest brother, he actually treats Sun He with brotherly courtesy in the process of getting along with Sun He, so Sun He is also close to Sun Deng.

Seeing Sun Deng's sad face, Lu Xun felt a little emotional when he heard his words.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but remembered that this was His Majesty's arrangement, so he could only shut up now.

Sun Deng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Although I am older than my third brother, my status is far less noble than my third brother, so I always treat him like a brother."

"Brothers are crown princes, which is also a rite, and the third brother is smart and smart, and I think he will be able to take on great responsibilities in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xun shouted:

"Your Highness be careful! Your Majesty asked His Majesty to guard Wuchang, and selected talented people to serve His Majesty. It was entrusted with state affairs. How could His Majesty say such words?"

Seeing Lu Xun's stern voice, Sun Deng was startled, and quickly got up to thank:

"It's my fault!"

Lu Xun sighed, "Your Highness, please rest assured, this time I return to Jianye, I will definitely discuss with the prime minister and formulate a charter for the affairs of the princes."

"After all, the prince is away all year round, so it's not always a solution..."

Sun Deng was overjoyed when he heard the words:

"I'm going to be the general. The second brother has grown up and has been in Wuchang all the time. I'm afraid I missed him!"

"Your Highness's respectful heart is rare!"

No money for the following:
