Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

The wind and waves gradually subsided, but dozens of Soochow's large ships were still heading southeast in the sea.

Sun Quan's dream also continues.

But the story in this dream moved forward again, to the fifth year of Jian'an.

This year... Two major events occurred on the political stage in the late Han Dynasty. One was the official start of the Battle of Guandu between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and a battle to determine the dominance of the Central Plains began.

Second, Sun Ce, the leader of the Soochow Group, was plotted, and Jiangdong changed hands and entered the Sun Quan era.

Sun Ce was assassinated while hunting in Dantu Mountain on May 4th of this year.

So the question is...how was his whereabouts leaked?

This...has always been a closely guarded topic throughout Soochow.

In this heavy fog.

What is little known is that...on May 2nd...the heads of the major clans headed by Gu Yong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Zhi found Sun Quan, who had always gotten along well with them.

At this moment, Sun Quan's dream was recalled here.

On the second day of May in the fifth year of Jian'an, in a wing of Wu County's official office, Sun Quan's raised voice defending his brother startled the birds nesting in the trees.

"Yu Ji's death was not caused by my brother, but someone put the blame on it. As for Gao Dai's death, I don't know why my brother killed the famous scholar Gao Dai... But I think there must be something hidden in it... Let me go into it in detail Let’s investigate.”

Sun Quan is still defending his brother about several major events that have happened in Jiangdong recently.

"Zhongmou doesn't need to be so excited. We are not here to raise troops to investigate crimes..." Gu Yong said calmly, "Yu Ji made talisman water to treat people's illnesses. People in Wu and Hui respected him. Gao Dai despised wealth. Yi, who lives in seclusion in Yuyao, is an expert outside the world... Everyone in the world admires him. In any case, these two things have given your brother a lot of bad reputation outside... Coupled with the wars in the past few years, various places in Jiangdong have The big clan has already criticized the Sun family quite a lot, and the killing spree at this time... is bound to aggravate this conflict."

"Yes..." Zhang Wen opened his mouth this time, "It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. We and other wealthy families also want to ease the relationship with General Bo Fu and the Sun family, but we suffer from... your brother never sees us, no Give me a chance, so...I came here specifically to visit Zhongmou this time, just to ask Zhongmou to mediate, so that we can have a good talk with General Bofu and turn the conflict into friendship!"

--"I see…"

Sun Quan sighed secretly in his heart, rolled his eyes, and muttered... "If the relationship between my brother and these powerful families can be eased, then this will be a good thing!" But given my brother’s temperament and character, if they go to see him directly, he will definitely not agree..."

Facing the clan, Sun Quan has always had a completely different attitude from his brother Sun Ce.

Sun Ce wanted to suppress, but Sun Quan wanted to cooperate.

From the bottom of his heart, Sun Quan always hoped that the Sun family could live in harmony with the Jiangdong clan and work together as one.

Therefore, Sun Quan said without reservation, "Two days later, that is, May 4th... The eldest brother will hunt in Dantu Mountain, and the younger sister Sun Shangxiang will also go there, and the entourage will be dispatched by Zhu Ran... I will write a letter , when the time comes, arrange for someone to stay there and hand it over to your brother, and ask him to go to the back mountain to meet him alone. If you stay there, you can see him and have a good talk with him... But you also know your brother’s temperament, so you must show off. Keep a low profile...and be as gentle and respectful as possible."

Sun Quan's words made Gu Yong and the clan chiefs look at each other, their eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light.

It's as if their plan... has been more than half successful.

"This must, must..." Gu Yong was the first to come to his senses... He quickly agreed to Sun Quan.

The other clan leaders also agreed.

In this way, Sun Quan acted in accordance with the agreement with the chiefs of these big clans. He waited with great anticipation for the news that his eldest brother would shake hands with the big clans and make peace. Who would have thought... the news he finally got was:

——The eldest brother was assassinated while hunting in Dantu Mountain... He was seriously injured and his life or death was unknown!

…

…

In the main hall of the palace where Ye City was built, Zhou Xun, Zhou Jun, Huang Bing, and Taishi Xiang were sitting on both sides. However, Gu Yong and a group of wealthy clan chiefs stood solemnly in front of the case, with complex expressions and solemn expressions, opening their mouths to explain something.

Guan Yu is sitting in the main seat, which is the seat of Sun Quan, the former leader of the Soochow Kingdom. It seems that compared to Sun Quan's blue eyes and purple beard, Guan Yu's red and phoenix eyes are more majestic and intimidating.

After Gu Yong and other clan leaders reported the matter, Guan Yu slowly opened his mouth and said leisurely: "So, it was indeed you, the clansmen, who joined forces with Sun Quan to assassinate General Sun Ce at Dantu Mountain?"

Guan Yu's words are self-defeating...

Gu Yong and a group of wealthy clan chiefs heard this and could only lower their heads and nodded with difficulty, "It was not us who took action. When Sun Quan informed us of Sun Ce's movements, naturally... the former disciples of the wealthy Xu Gong family, for To avenge my master...set an ambush there..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wen added: "In fact, it was not just the three disciples of Xu Gong. At that time... Sun Ce killed Yu Ji, who was very popular among the people, and killed the famous Gao Dai. In addition... he used to be so domineering The conquest, the bloodbath and massacre of countless wealthy clans, even if Xu Gong’s disciples don’t take action, Sun Ce will still be assassinated sooner or later... As far as I know, Xu Gong’s disciples are not the only ones who set up ambushes in Dantu Mountain!”

The truth... gradually emerges...

Of course, speaking of it... After Guan Yu took charge of building Ye City, he actually had a lot to do.

However, he specifically prioritized investigating the truth about Sun Ce's death, followed by the truth about Zhou Yu's death and the truth about Taishi Ci's death.

After all, Guan Yu followed his son Guan Lin's suggestion, and he also understood his son Guan Lin's thoughts.

Prioritize the efforts to straighten "Hongyan"...for the heroes such as Sun Shao, Taishi Xiang, Zhou Jun, Zhou Xun, and Huang Bing...the Hongyan Action over the past ten years...proven it!

Let them change from the "rebellious" party to the "righteous" party, to become the party of justice, and to become the party praised by future generations.

Of course, the first thing that bears the brunt...is the truth about Sun Ce's death.

"Sun Ce loves his soldiers as much as his sons...but he is unpopular with the people and the clan. We admit...we can't escape his involvement in assassinating him. After all, we deliberately leaked his whereabouts, but...he was too cruel to us. , we have to support a person who can stand side by side with a big family like ours...Sun Quan, in such a situation, is the most suitable..."

--"I see…"

Sun Shao clenched his fists fiercely. If it weren't for Guan Yu's presence in the palace, he would have really wanted to step forward and teach these wealthy people a lesson.

But now, he knows that he can't...

Jiangdong is still undecided. At this time...these wealthy families are still useful! Their attitude may... be able to prevent the lives of Jiangdong from being destroyed.

Of course, Guan Yu could see Sun Shao's rather embarrassed expression.

Guan Yu didn't show any emotion or anger, he squinted his eyes, "Is that all? Is there anything else to hide?"

"No more hiding anything..." Gu Yong shook his head repeatedly, "Now that Guan Gong has taken control of Jiangdong, we are his subordinates... We dare not hide it from Guan Gong. As for Mr. Sun Shao... I can only say, fuck it The sword must cut, the ax must strike...Some things...are forced by the current situation, not the persecution of one of our clans...I hope Mr. Sun Shao will show his noble hand, and peace will benefit both parties..."

this…

It seems that Gu Yong threw this hot potato, or "attitude issue", to Sun Shao.

Sun Shao lowered his head and frowned in silence. The current situation... did not allow him to touch these big clans, but he could not do it if he put down all hatred or put this hatred only on Sun Quan alone.

For a moment, Sun Shao was in a dilemma.

This scene still did not escape Guan Yu's eyes...

"Okay..." Guan Yu waved his hand, "The topic of the truth about Sun Ce's assassination stops here. Now, it's time to talk about the next topic. Zhou Gongjin died in Baqiu? Is there any secret?"

in vain…

When this question came out, Zhou Xun and Zhou Jun's eyes lit up. Even though they already knew the truth, they still wanted to hear more details from these wealthy people.

But for Guan Yu, today is...his mission...

Just want to turn these "old things about Soochow" upside down!

…

…

"The trees are tinkling, and the birds are chirping. They come from the deep valley and move to the trees. They are chirping and asking for the sound of their friends."

"When we are in love with each other, we especially seek the voice of friends. When we are in love with each other, we don't seek the sound of friendship. God listens to us, and we end up in peace and harmony."

Sun Quan’s dream…

I didn't wake up because of the rough waves, but... I gradually woke up in the singing of "Xiaoya·Lumbering" in the Book of Songs.

Faintly, he heard someone shouting on the deck: "Look, there is an island ahead...that...that is Yizhou occupied by General Wei Wen!"

Of course, the sound quickly disappeared.

In other words, Sun Quanyou was immersed in his dream... The last scene of immersing himself in that dream...

It’s the elder brother and Da Qiao;

It’s Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao;

It's Sun Shangxiang and Zhu Ran... these friends gathered together when they were young.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are playing the piano...

The song is wrong, Zhou Lang is watching, Zhou Yu is singing... Zhu Ran and Sun Shangxiang are dancing with swords to add to the fun...

The eldest brother Sun Ce, and Sun Quan himself...were listening quietly.

——The thumping sound of logging, the birds chirping in harmony, the birds coming out of the deep valleys and flying to the tops of the tall trees...

What a beautiful moment that was.

What a fascinating moment!

But in the end, when Sun Quan opened his eyes, all the beauty disappeared, and instead... the people from the past died or died, leaving him forever one by one!

Immediately afterwards, what appeared in front of Sun Quan's eyes was still the scene in the fifth year of Jian'an.

He saw the image of his eldest brother Sun Ce being hit in the cheek by an arrow, and the painful look of him dying, which made Sun Quan frightened.

At the same time...Sun Quan also regretted it!

At that time, he realized that he was being used by those wealthy people, and then he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, as if he was drowning in a river and couldn't breathe...

Of course, there is more regret.

Now, fifteen years have passed... It seems that after experiencing all kinds of things, it has experienced the ups and downs of time.

It also allowed him to see clearly the true face of many people and many things.

Sun Quan sincerely regrets, he regrets... He shouldn't have distrusted his brother. It turned out that his brother had longer-term thinking than him.

Sun Quan only knew how to unite the aristocratic families through compromise, maneuvering, and checks and balances, but... in fact, for the aristocratic families, only interests were the most important.

My brother did the right thing. He acquired more land and distributed it to them, then suppressed them with domineering force, and finally got rid of them fundamentally. Perhaps this move was the right one!

Sun Quan has always boasted that the entire Soochow is his pawn and is under his control, but in fact, from the moment... his brother was assassinated, he has become... and will continue to become someone else's pawn!

At this moment, Sun Quan, who had completely woken up from his sleep, recalled what Gu Yong and the heads of the powerful clans said to him after Sun Ce was assassinated that year.

——"The lord we really want to support and support is you, Sun Zhongmou!" 』

——"Only you, Sun Zhongmou, can make us surrender wholeheartedly. Only you...can make the noble families of Soochow surrender with heartfelt loyalty!" 』——“Forget your brother, forget that insignificant hatred, and then... stand up, sit on your brother’s seat, and you will be the master of Soochow! 』

"hehe…"

When these words floated in Sun Ce's mind again, "Hahahaha" Sun Quan laughed miserably...

Satire…

These words seem so ironic now. What is "heartfelt surrender"? What "heartfelt allegiance"? These are just interests...

As long as there is a trend of profit, these "bad guys" can change their masters overnight!

Is Sun Quan a piece of shit?

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Sun Quan's miserable laughter became even louder. He staggered up and walked to the window with heavy steps... He held on to the railing in front of him with both hands... He smiled miserably and said to himself: "I am also being used. This Is it Gu’s fault? How did Gu fall to where he is today?”

"At the beginning of Gu's succession to the throne, there was the powerful Cao Cao looking around in the north, Huang Zu in the west who wanted to kill his father, and those Shanyue people living in the mountains who were trying to make a move. Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang, was self-reliant, and even Gu's cousin Sun Fu also Dissatisfied with Gu, he secretly met Cao Cao with the intention of treason? Haha... Yes... If the eldest brother was alive, these things would not have happened. These bastards... they just didn't take Gu in their eyes. At that time... Gu had no choice but to rely on the help of the clan. Liwai? Are there any other options?"

"Clan... you don't want Gu's clan to be too powerful, so Gu deposed his cousin Xu Kun, imprisoned his uncle Wu Jing, and gave up their military power to you; you don't want the Soochow warriors to become big, so Gu Taishi Ci was poisoned to death... and the country within the country was taken back! Zhou Lang's great victory at Chibi and his prestige was overwhelming. He also wanted to invade Bashu and implement his strategy of dividing the world into two... This strategy threatens you... Gu Ye is cruel... Let Zhou Gongjin Died of illness in Bachu..."

"For more than ten years, Gu's hands have been filled with the blood of Zhonglailiang, but what he got in exchange for... was the betrayal of you aristocratic families, your defection in battle... Driven by you, Gu fled in panic like Lost dogs, Gu is wrong... Gu is wrong, I shouldn't have trusted you from the beginning... I dare not be of one mind with you! You are dogs that can never be fed enough, there is no humanity in your eyes, only interests... Hahahahaha …Ha ha ha ha…"

It seemed that... it was Sun Quan's laughter that attracted some people who were sleeping soundly.

Sun Huan walked alone to Sun Quan's side... "My lord... the soldiers on the observation deck passed the news. Yizhou is ahead, visible in the distance... The port was brightly lit. Most likely General Wei Wen received the news and was there in advance. We formed a formation to welcome the arrival of Marquis Wu... It seems that Yizhou has been occupied by General Wei Wen."

Well…

Sun Huan's words completely brought Sun Quan back to reality from his sleep. He walked to the bow of the ship and looked straight ahead. Sure enough... countless torches illuminated the port like daylight. The densely packed soldiers on the port were clearly visible, as well as the huge The big flag with the word "Wu" fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound...

All this made Sun Quan excited and surprised.

He clenched his hands into fists and shouted in ecstasy: "Gu has not lost yet. With this land, Gu will make a comeback sooner or later..."

Sun Huan was also surprised and said: "Yes...Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch back then. Didn't he become a general in the end?"

"Don't take Han Xin as an example, his end is not good!" Sun Quan changed his previous dejection and became more and more surprised... He turned to the port and exclaimed: "Quick, move forward at full speed, move forward at full speed..."

as if…

The hope of making a comeback is right in front of us, getting closer... getting closer!

But, he ignored one point...

In this era, the most dangerous places are often the most colorful, and the most dangerous moments are often times of excitement and ecstasy.

In the dark night, in the excitement, how could Sun Quan notice that in Sun Huan's hand... I don't know when or where there was an extra dagger.

A cold light flashed on the blade, and Sun Huan's eyes became cold and sharp.

He echoed Sun Quan, "What my lord said is, when we move forward at full speed... we move forward at full speed..."

On one side, the edge of the blade reflected the moon shadow and was already raised high.

As quiet as a virgin... as active as a rabbit!

There was only a "swish" sound, and the dagger struck hard like a beam of light, aiming at... Sun Quan's chest——

Uh... Sun Quan felt a chill on his back, as if something cold was embedded in his body!

Immediately afterwards, his pupils shrank, and something surged out of his throat...

Then... "Poof...", Sun Quan spurted out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, his entire back... there was a biting cold inside the skin, as if the sea breeze outside was whizzing straight into his body...

Also, the pain that followed... spread throughout the body instantly.

"you--"

…

…

Kuaiji County, Shanyin County…

On a towering stone platform, Kanze, whose pseudonym is Derun, is a native of Shanyin in Kuaiji...a famous scholar in Soochow, the author of the book "Qianxiang Li Zhu", and also has a lot of research on mathematics. Even Zu Chongzhi, a mathematician from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, needed to learn from his results for his accurate calculation of pi!

At this moment, he was looking up at the sky, calculating something in his hands from time to time.

And a group of civil and military officers from Kuaiji, such as Tian Yi, Xie Jing, Lu Dai, Lu Fan... stood in the audience, staring directly at Kan Ze...

It seems that these people left the final decision to Kan Ze...or to be precise, to God.

At noon today, Zhuge Jin came to persuade them to surrender.

Zhuge Jin didn't say much...just handed them a letter from Guan Lin...

After reading this letter, everyone was in a bad mood.

As for the reason, this is not a letter written by Guan Lin himself, but a letter written by two other people. These two names... are too powerful now, no less than a hundred thousand soldiers.

As for their names.

——Lu Su!

——Sun Deng!

The former is also the nominal governor of Soochow, a philanthropic and prestigious "old man"!

The latter was Sun Quan's personal choice for heir apparent, and he was the theoretical heir to Soochow...

Originally, their position should be Soochow...

But this letter is conclusive, and all the words revolve around two big words "surrender"——

Tian Yi, Xie Jing, Lu Dai, Lu Fan…

What they saw from this letter was Lu Su and Sun Deng's sincere submission to Guan Lin, and the disillusionment of Soochow's hopes.

That being the case…

Then...there's nothing to say, whether it's steps or destiny...

After all, surrender has to go through a process...

So, they invited the great scholar Kan Ze... to observe the stars, get the will of God, and then surrender naturally.

only…

They underestimated Kan Ze...

They underestimated this figure in the history books...Yu Fan called him "the hero of Shu" and "the Zhongshu of today". They also underestimated this scholar who Sun Quan deplored after he died of illness and went without food for several days...

At this moment, he is wearing a Taoist robe and holding a sandalwood sword. He seems to have completed the divination of the stars...

In other words, the outcome of divination is not important at all...

Because, no matter what the stars say, his words remain as strong and powerful as ever.

"Nine stars in a row will benefit Soochow and retreat to Jingzhou——"

When these words were chanted, when these words reached the ears of every Kuaiji soldier, everyone fell silent. No one could have imagined that... the final divination would be this sentence...

Nine stars in a row benefit Soochow and retreat to Jingzhou!

What's the meaning?

Doesn’t this mean that this battle still has to be fought...and this battle can still be won.

——This is embarrassing!

"This..." Lu Dai pondered for a moment...

Xie Jing said, "If we don't fight and return to Jingzhou, no matter how bad it is...I will resign and return home to be a rich man, but if we really want to fight...the outcome is unpredictable, in my opinion...it's better...we should surrender!"

Lu Fan said seriously, "We can't surrender...haven't you seen God's will? Nine stars in a row will help Soochow and retreat to Jingzhou...This shows that the Marquis of Wu will return soon. Anyone who can hold Lujiang until then will be me Soochow." The day of counterattack!"

"But..." Lu Dai also retreated, "The soldiers are not willing to fight. In addition...many family members are building Ye City, and more and more counties are surrendering. I am afraid that in the end...we will become the target of public criticism and die without a burial." Earth!"

Lu Fan trembled with anger and cursed: "You are also an important minister who has followed the Sun family for two generations. How can you face difficulties... but have such a stupid and cowardly heart! It is in vain that we gather here and wait for God's will... God will not destroy Soochow. , Do you want me to die? Why do you have to say such depressing words..."

When Lu Fan said this, Kan Ze on the high platform seemed to have figured out something again. He said loudly: "Yes, yes... God is telling us that as long as Kuaiji City holds firm for thirty days, Wu Hou will definitely lead hundreds of warriors." The ship king returns, defeats the enemy and retakes Jiangdong——"

this…

Undoubtedly, Kan Ze's identity as a scholar, celebrity, mathematician, and astrology master is enough to intimidate people.

Under his words, those soldiers who were originally depressed became full of fighting spirit again.

——Nine stars in a row benefit Soochow and retreat to Jingzhou!

It was as if this sentence ignited hope for them again.

"Alas... alas..."

Lu Dai sighed deeply. This divination... was supposed to be done by finding a way down the stairs, but now... it was self-defeating, and it became impossible to do without it!

This...is really embarrassing.

But at this moment, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke, who were standing silently in the corner under the high platform... looked at each other.

Zhuge Ke sighed with emotion: "Dad, it seems... Master Yunqi's plan to persuade us to surrender is going to fail!"

"Yes!" Zhuge Jin stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Now, if we want to avoid this catastrophe in Kuaiji City, we can only pray... that someone can bring back Sun Quan's head—— "

this…

Zhuge Jin's words made Zhuge Ke shake his head, "Sun Quan has already gone to sea. How can it be so easy to bring his head back at this time?"

Zhuge Jin sighed "Alas" again.

"Do your best and listen to fate..."
