Chapter 80: Liu and Sun, the Two Heroes Meet (II)

A master once said that there are two ancient professions in the world, one is a female servant and the other is an assassin, they are highly skilled, good at concealing their forms, or out of personal anger, or for fame and fortune, they assassinate the target person, and the matter is done and gone, and the blood is spilled on the spot!

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many emperors and generals have died in the hands of assassins, Qin Shi Huang has encountered three assassinations, Jing Ke's quenched dagger, Gao Yuanli's smashed musical instrument, and Bolangsha - an unknown Hercules, threw out a hundred and twenty pounds of big iron cones, but unfortunately the ancestral dragon has the protection of God, and the three times are all thrilling!

So much so that Sima Qian wrote a "Biography of the Assassins" in "Historical Records", which recorded the deeds of the five assassins Cao Mo, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, and Jing Ke in extremely gorgeous words, and praised them for their intentions, not to deceive their will, and to be famous in future generations, how can it be vain!

Now that Xiao Yiwen is strategic, domineering, and the princes of the four sides are working together but cannot win, and sending an assassin to assassinate him, although it is not above board, it is a good way to turn defeat into victory and turn things around!

The problem is that it is really not an easy task to assassinate this 'killing god', not to mention that Xiao Yat is in the military camp, surrounded by countless warriors and guards, and it is difficult for strangers to get close, even if the assassin is lucky to get close, what can he do?

Xiao Yi's martial arts are exquisite, his divine power is outstanding, he is known as the 'No. 1 warrior in the world', the generals who died in his hands are not a hundred but eighty, even the emperor - Wang Yue failed to assassinate, but was captured alive into the Hou Mansion, who is higher than the sword saint's ability?

In the Sun and Liu coalition army, there is no shortage of generals with high skills and good fighting, but let them assassinate Xiao Yi, I am afraid it is to drive sheep and feed tigers, even if they are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning, I am afraid that they are not a little sure!

Of course, assassination is ever-changing, not only in hand-to-hand combat, but also in hidden arrows, traps, fire, flooding, poisoning, ...... But Xiao Yi is cautious by nature, scheming, good at tricking people without being cheated, and wants to poison and assassinate, and he is a master of Qihuang!

"Mr. Kong Ming - resourceful and exhaustive, but is there any good way to get rid of this evil for the world?"

Liu Bei and Sun Quan racked their brains, but they didn't come up with a way to assassinate or a candidate for assassination, so they had to set their eyes on Zhuge Liang, hoping that he could offer advice!

"Xiao Yi is as cunning as a fox, as fierce as a wolf, and as brave as a tiger, assassination is indeed difficult, but no matter how powerful a character is, he also has his weaknesses, and he can be killed with one blow if he catches it!

Sun Zhoumu has lived in Jiangdong for a long time, and he is familiar with the history of Wu and Vietnam. ”

When Kong Ming spoke, he frequently waved the feather fan in his hand, which was made of big white goose feathers - white as snow, smooth as satin, and decorated with a pearl of the East China Sea on the short handle of golden silk nanmu!

"Prince Qingji died in assassination, Wu Wangfu was almost defeated by beauty, what does Mr. Wolong mean-Jiangdong Pearl?"

Sun Quan is a smart and studious person, in addition to his daily management, he often reads a lot of books, and he knows the history of Wu and Yue regions well, and immediately understands Kong Ming's hints.

Qingji is the son of the Spring and Autumn Period - Wu Wangfang, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his divine power is amazing, it is said that when he travels hunting, he can break the bear and strangle the tiger, fight the leopard and fight the horse, and is known as the first warrior of the Wu country!

Later, Gongzi Guang (Wu Wang 阖闾), sent an assassin - Zhuzhu to assassinate the king of Wu to seize the throne with the "fish intestine sword", because he was worried about the revenge of the prince Qingji, he followed Wu Zixu's advice, and sent another assassin - to leave, and cut off his right arm, kill his wife, in order to confuse the eyes of the world.

Qingji fell into the 'bitter meat trick', and before accepting the assassin - to leave, he also cited himself as his confidant, but on the way to attack Wu, he wanted to leave and stabbed Qingji from behind with a sharp blade, and after completing the task, he was crippled because of his family and killed himself.

The story of Wu Wangfucha is known to women and children, because of his infatuation with Yue Nu - Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, so that he killed Zhongliang and died of the country, and was laughed at by descendants for thousands of years.

Kong Ming gave two examples, Qingji and Fucha, which was to tell Sun Quan that if he wanted to successfully assassinate Xiao Yi, he must send a beautiful woman who can get close to him and win his trust, so that he can kill him with one blow, and the candidate also hinted - Sun Shangxiang, the pearl of Jiangdong!

Sun's four sons and one daughter, Shang Xiang is the youngest, deeply loved by his brothers, his character is brave and strong, often with people fencing for fun, the maids around him are wearing swords, although it is a daughter, Zhisheng boy, so people call it 'Xiao Ji', also known as Jiangdong Little Devil!

In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, asked the princes to send blood relatives to the court, and used hostages to contain them.

Sun Shangxiang is in the Hou Mansion without worries, and the treatment of food, clothing, housing and transportation is the same as that of the eldest lady, and he is favored by the Hou Mansion, until the seventh year of Jian'an and the official announcement of Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan exchanged his brother for his sister and took Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong!

However, there will always be some scandals between heroes and beauties, and some people privately say that Xiao Yi was in the period of guarding the hostages - rhetoric, self-theft, and Sun Shangxiang had some special relationship, and also made a mountain alliance and sea oath!

If Sun Xiangshang is sent to go, Xiao Yi will definitely not doubt it, when the two of them turn the phoenix upside down and want to die, as long as a quenching dagger, this greedy wolf star monarch can return to the sky, if Xiao Yi dies, Cao Cao will be defeated!

However, after completing the assassination, Sun Shangxiang wants to retreat, I'm afraid it's impossible, Xiao Yi's henchmen and friends will cut her thousands of knives and scatter her bones...... Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but hesitate!

Speaking from the heart, although Sun Quan is mean and unkind, he is not ruthless and unrighteous, if he sends a few brothers to death, he will never hesitate for half a minute, but if he is the only sister, it will be a little reluctant, the love of brother and sister is like a father and daughter!

"That's it! - Small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, since ancient times, those who want to achieve great things, those who are close to them can also be killed, for the safety of the six counties of Jiangdong, in order to achieve the great cause of the emperor, what is the sacrifice of a sister?

Besides, my sister and Xiao Yi went to Huangquan together to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate, which is also to fulfill the two of them, this is also to avenge the eldest brother, and the revenge of killing the brother is not the same as the sky! ”

Reason triumphs over human nature, power suppresses family affection, just a little hesitation, Sun Quan made up his mind, achieved his goal at all costs, and made an excuse for deceiving himself!

However, the matter of 'feeding wolves with sisters' is too immoral after all, and it can't be explained directly, so Sun Quan took out a piece of white jade Jue to show that he had made up his mind, and Liu Bei and Kong Ming also understood it!

Next, the two sides discussed how to defeat Cao Cao's army after killing Xiao Yi, and the distribution of the spoils after winning the battle!

The four people here all understand that Cao Ying's power is strong, even if they defeat Cao Jun, or even kill Cao Cao, they will not be able to eliminate the huge Cao Ying group in the short term, it would be good to be able to drive back to the north, and Jingzhou must be recaptured!

The question is, after retaking Jingzhou, how to divide the two families, according to the strength of the power, or according to the size of the merit, there are a total of nine county cities, the north is rich - the population is large, the south is barren - the land is vast and sparsely populated, who doesn't want to swallow fat?

In addition, if you occupy the northern part of Jingzhou, you will have to directly confront Cao Ying, the huge military pressure is not easy to bear, and the position of Jingzhou Mu, who will do it Sun and Liu?

"Prepare a benevolent and righteous army to fight against the brutal people of Cao thieves, it is for the sake of the Han Sheji and the people of Limin, and they have no selfish desires, and they don't want an inch of land until they recover the nine counties of Jingzhou!

The land of the nine counties of Jingzhou was originally owned by the clan brother Liu Jingsheng, and it should be returned to the original owner, although the Jingsheng brother passed away, but his son is still alive, and he can be established as the pastor of Jingzhou! ”

As soon as the negotiation began, Liu Bei put on a high posture, looking benevolent, righteous and moral, but in fact, the small abacus was extremely fine!

Liu Biao has two sons, after the second son Liu Cong surrendered, he was sent to Xuchang to take care of it, if 'the thing is returned to the original owner', Jingzhou Mu is the eldest son Liu Qi's!

Everyone knows that this eldest prince has a weak personality and average ability, and if he is allowed to be the pastor of Jingzhou, he will inevitably be overtaken by Liu Bei, in other words, the land of the nine counties of Jingzhou, Liu Bei is ready to swallow it in one bite, and not half an inch will be given to Jiangdong!

"The land of the nine counties of Jingzhou is owned by the Han court, and it should be handed over to the sage to govern, so as to eliminate disasters and protect the territory and the people.

"My family Sun Zhou Mu - young and promising, wise and martial, and has the great merit of resisting Cao, if you are both Yang and Jing Zhou Pastor, it is also a beautiful talk!"

Sun Quan and Lu Su were not confused, they immediately argued, tried to lead Jingzhou Mu by themselves, and also took out a map of Jingzhou and compared it for a while.

………………………………………………

After some verbal arguments, the two sides reached an agreement: the four counties of Jiangxia, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling in the east belong to Sun Quan, the four counties of Nanyang, Nan, Zhangling and Wuling in the west belong to Liu Bei, and the richest county in the middle, Xiangyang County, the two families account for half each, Liu occupies Xiangyang and Sun Dejiangling!

In addition, from the perspective of land distribution, Sun Quan's side is richer and more populous, so as compensation, Jingzhou Mu was exchanged for the eldest prince Liu Qi, which was actually given to Liu Bei!

Sun Quan and Lu Su were quite satisfied with this distribution result, thinking that using a state pastor to exchange for more population and land was a big advantage, and Liu Bei and Kong Ming were also very satisfied, as for the reason--let's not talk about it for the time being!

After the negotiation, the two sides took their leave, and under the escort of their own soldiers, they each returned to the camp by boat, and the meeting between the two heroes who left their names in history was over!
