Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Formation Becomes Two
On Jiangzhu Island, Sun Ben and several leading captains all received arrow books with the same content.
Discussing with Sun Ben, Xu Zuo, a captain with a rather embarrassing identity, faintly had the mission of supervising the army: "Tian Xin only brought 100 people, but he asked us to bring 500 people ashore. This person is a big person, if he doesn't plan it, he doesn't talk to him in detail, and he rushes up to capture and kill this person. β
The other captains were all intent on moving, and Sun Ben sneered: "I'm afraid it's a child's plan to disconnect." β
Xu Zuo said again: "General, I won't wait to talk to him in detail, just fight and capture." β
Sun Ben is nearly fifty years old, and seeing the eagerness of these young captains, he has no choice but to agree.
Early the next morning, Sun Ben and Xu Zuo came to the wharf with five warships, and two hundred steps away from the wharf, Tian Xin had already set up a curtain, and a fire pit was burning in the curtain, and a sheep was set up on the fire pit.
Tian Xin looked at each other from afar with a red robe and iron basin collar armor, and with Fang Tian's halberd in his right hand, he saw that the Wu army had landed five hundred people one after another, lined up in a queue of five hundred people, and slowly pressed down.
Sun Ben led everyone forward, and when he got closer, he saw that Xu Zuo's face was very uncomfortable, and then he looked at the other captains, and he hesitated.
"Wow."
With a disdainful snort, Sun Ben stepped forward and arched his hand: "But Huya General Tian Xiaoxian?" β
"It's Tian, the old general is Sun Boyang, the guard of Yuzhang County?"
"It's old and decayed, General Tian is invited now, what is the matter?"
"There is nothing else to do, but tomorrow Tian will lead the army to attack Maicheng and fight to the death with your Wu Hou. Before leaving, I had some doubts and was about to ask the old general. β
Sun Ben stood in place: "Now the two families are fighting, and the general has something to ask." β
Tian Xin stretched out his arms sideways and said with a smile: "The river wind is cold, it is better to discuss in the tent." If the old general suspects that Tian has bad intentions, he can make the guards ten steps closer to the tent. β
Sun Ben bowed his head slightly, stepped forward and walked into the tent side by side with Tian Xin, and after Xu Zuo gestured, he also followed closely.
In the tent, everyone sat down, only Wang Zhi and Lin Luozhu were behind Tian Xin, and Tian Ji was roasting sheep and spreading sauce.
The five generals who entered the account, including Sun Ben and Xu Zuo, each led two guards, a total of 15 people.
Tian Xin and Sun Ben sat on the top, and his Fang Tian halberd had Wang Zhi standing on his side, attracting the eyes of fifteen people.
I heard Tian Xin say: "Today, the two families are hostile, and Tian has never drunk alcohol, so there is no alcohol here, only one yellow sheep." β
"If the general has something to say, he will say, we are not greedy people."
Sun Ben sat firmly, and it could be seen that the curtain opening was facing the Yangtze River, and the five hundred Ruishi array was about twenty steps away, and his heart was stable.
Tian Xin looked around at these people and laughed: "I'm about to go out of battle, and life and death are unpredictable." Before leaving, I had a little doubt and wanted to understand, and I also had the intention of sowing discord, whether I listened or not, whether I believed it or not, whether I believed it or not, it was all in the old general and Wu Hou. β
Xu Zuo spoke at this time: "Since the general knows that it is a word to sow discord, it is better not to say it." β
"Old general, who is this person?"
"A certain Guangde Hou Jianyi captain Xu Zuo Xu Chengzhen."
Seeing Xu Zuo standing up and making a loud voice, Tian Xin was surprised: "I have also heard of the name of my father, and it is actually the pillar of the foundation of the Sun family, such as the Xiahou family in the Cao family, and Guan Zhang in my lord Han King." β
Xu Zuo's face suddenly turned red, and he held back a few words: "If the descendants do not disappear, it will damage the prestige of Xianyan." β
His father Xu Kun was Sun Jian's nephew, and Sun Ben, Sun Fu, and Wu Jing formed the four pillars of Sun Ce's kinship, among which Xu Kun was the strongest, and Xu Kun was killed by an arrow when he later attacked Jiangxia.
In order to win over the Xu family, after Xu Kun's daughter married Lu Shang's widowhood, Sun Quan married his cousin's daughter as a side room.
When Xu Zuo sat down, Tian Xincai said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of Marquis Wu and LΓΌ Meng secretly discussing the alliance to attack Jingzhou is a secret, and it was once concealed from the Marquis of Guan. Why do I know? β
Saying that, Tian Xin pushed a prepared silk book to Sun Ben beside him: "It was someone who shot an archery book to me, and I only knew about it." But this man refused to come to me and told him to come home, so I had to force him out. β
Sun Ben and Xu Zuo's faces turned red, and Sun Ben sneered: "The general can't help but underestimate us, Wu Hou is magnanimous, and the soldiers of our army are willing to serve to death, how can there be a betrayer?" β
Tian Xin shook his head and smiled: "If someone else is stationed in Jiangzhu, I won't ask." But I heard that it was the old general and Xu's son guarding Jiang Zhu, so I took time out of my busy schedule to see him. MeSign is here, and it's your business to see it or not. β
Sun Ben picked up the silk book and walked to the fire pit, threw it directly into the fire, and turned his head to look at Tian Xin: "What else does the general have planned?" β
"My plan has been accomplished."
Tian Xin took a sip of hot tea: "Old general, the miserable death of his younger brother and grandson, is there no resentment?" And Xu Chengzhen, what a hero your father is, how could he die so easily? Your brother is also a skilled man, and he has been in the military for a long time, so how could he die early for no reason? β
Sun Fu was raised by Sun Ben since he was a child, and his relationship is very close. And he fought bravely and repeatedly took the lead.
In the early years of Jian'an, Sun Ce became friendly with Cao Cao, so he married Sun Ben's daughter to Cao Zhang. Later, Sun Fu led Jiaozhou, corresponded with Cao Cao, the letters were exposed, Sun Quan killed Sun Fu left and right, imprisoned for several years, and after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Fu died of illness.
"What kind of person Wu Hou is, you two are close relatives, so you naturally understand better than me. If he takes Jingzhou this time and is complacent, how many days will the old general live? β
Tian Xin's indifferent gaze swept over the other three Wu military captains as he spoke: "The Gou Jian of the past, and the Wu Hou of today, can be compared." I have a long-term plan for the Sun family, and the old general may wish to send his children to serve the king of Han to avoid catastrophe. If you don't dislike it, Tian is lacking the main book, and the old general is willing to recommend one? β
After a moment of silence, Tian Xin said again: "Today's meeting, Wu Hou will never forget. When the time is right, I will cut off you, and I am deeply worried about you. The name of my lord Han Wang's benevolence and generosity is spread all over the world, and there is the legacy of the ancestors, and the Sanxing Yanhan is just around the corner. In the past, Xiang Tuo took Dangjun from Gaozu, gave Liu's family, and sealed the Marquis of Gao. β
To argue for Sun Quan's character?
Even though some people wanted to speak, they looked at the dark blue steel-patterned Fang Tian Halberd, and they were afraid.
The tent was silent for a while, Tian Xin motioned to Tian Ji to cut the mutton, and Sun Ben was like chewing wax.
With just one move of chopsticks, Sun Ben said: "Today, the two armies are fighting for their own masters, and the general calculates me as a traitor, and it is also the responsibility of the general." However, I have been fighting for 30 years, and I really don't want to turn my back on the Sun family. β
"Well, I believe in the old general, but will Wu Hou believe in the old general?"
Tian Xin asked rhetorically, and his tone was sparse: "Today, the three heroes in the world stand side by side, but in my opinion, there is a struggle between good and evil. My lord Han King is the lord of benevolence, if the three prosperous Yan Han, will be able to innovate the atmosphere, from top to bottom with benevolence as the governing program. And the Cao clan recruited rebels to hide filth and dirt inside, and the upper and lower monarchs and ministers were really vicious. The Cao clan is capable of evil, and if it is not ambushed, sooner or later it will be replaced by more vicious people. Sun's evil is not as good as Cao's, so his achievements are not as good as Cao's. β
Sun Ben smiled sadly, turned back to Xu Zuo and said, "I want to be restrained for half my life, but today I was counted by Tian Xiaoxian, and my fate is also?" β
Xu Zuo was slow to react, just nodded and didn't speak.
What is the status of the Xiahou clan? What is the status of the Guanzhang clan?
In the past, the generals of the four major relatives, Sun Fu's henchmen, were executed and died in seclusion; His father and brother died early one after another, although Sun Ben was Yuzhang Taishou, but Sun Ce divided Luling County, Sun Quan finished the battle of Chibi, and separated Poyang County from Yuzhang County.
Sun Quan's uncle Wu Jing died early, and the two sons lived in Dutinghou, and the eldest son Wu Fen was the governor of Wu County, guarding the east.
