Chapter 509: Some People Are Happy and Some Are Worried
"Weishenme is me?"
"Because this was requested by Wei Ba, because the auxiliary general refused to agree, he attacked brazenly and captured Chenyang in one fell swoop." Sun Deng looked at Mrs. Sun helplessly, and once again patiently explained. Now, my father had to accept this condition. I have wronged my aunt. β
"How is this possible?" Mrs. Sun pondered for a long time, puzzled. "Chenyang is an important town, it has always been heavily guarded, and Lu Xun is a cautious person, how could Wei Ba conquer Chenyang overnight?"
Sun Deng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What my aunt said is very true, so far, none of us can believe that such a thing is true. Unfortunately, this is indeed true. Let me tell you the truth, the battle of Chenyang is because it is so bizarre that my father does not dare to tell others the news, for fear of causing a commotion in the hearts of the people, and for fear that the generals of Wu will not dare to fight against Wei Ba again in the future. β
"You're scared by him?" Mrs. Sun squinted at Sun Deng: "Your father is too?" β
Sun Deng sighed: "Don't hide it from my aunt, not only my father is like this, but so am I." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have discussed with Zhuge Ke and Gu Cheng for a long time, and I can't guess what method Wei Ba used to conquer Chenyang. β
"Incredible people, incredible things." Mrs. Sun sighed: "You scholars who only know how to read, how can you know the treacherous things on the battlefield. Wei Ba's capture of Chenyang is not terrible, maybe it was just an accident, but you are so frustrated, this is the most terrifying. Could it be that your father would have agreed to such humiliating conditions, he is probably already doubting the destiny of heaven. β
Sun Deng was silent, and Mrs. Sun could criticize Sun Quan. But he didn't dare. After a while, he explained: "Wei Ba put forward two conditions, one is to ask us to send my aunt back to Chengdu, and the other is to ask General Fenwei to marry his daughter to Zhao Tong, but he didn't ask for more. We're ......, though."
"What did you say?" Sun Luban's face changed suddenly, and he interrupted Sun Deng: "Pan Ziyu wants to marry Zhao Tong?" β
"Ah, yes, Wei Ba asked for it. These two requests seem ridiculous, but we looked into ......"
"Ridiculous. Ridiculous, of course. Sun Luban jumped up. screamed: "How can Wei Ba's bastard be like this, Zhao Tong can't marry Pan Ziyu." β
"For ...... weishenmeοΌ Sun Deng was confused.
"He ......" Sun Luban blushed in a hurry, but he didn't know what to say. When she returned to Wuchang, Sun Quan saw that she was pregnant, but she refused to say whose it was. Compared to her daughter who worked as a camp prostitute. Sun Quan preferred to believe that this child belonged to Wei Ba. She originally thought that she and Zhao Tong would not have any chances. Pan Ziyu can only be Zhao Tong's concubine at most, but now that Wu and Han are allied again, Pan Ziyu can marry Zhao Tong openly and honestly. She felt like Pan Ziyu had snatched the baby that originally belonged to her, even if Pan Ziyu was once her best friend, she couldn't accept it.
Mrs. Sun and Sun Deng glanced at each other, and suddenly realized that the two of them pointed to Sun Luban's stomach in unison.
"You mean, this kid is ......"
"Yes, yes." Sun Luban's face was flushed, and he stomped his feet: "This child is Zhao Tong's, I want to marry Zhao Tong!" β
Sun Deng was stunned, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "Big Tiger, this is ...... We don't count what we said, we have to ask Wei Ba. Zhao Tong either didn't have any ideas, or he didn't have any decision power at all. Since Wei Ba didn't mention it, he must not approve of it. β
"That's not going to work." Sun Luban's eyes widened: "I'm going to marry Zhao Tong, he is my man, I can't let my child be born without a father." β
"You're not fooling around." Mrs. Sun became angry and scolded sharply: "Now that Pan Jun's 5,000-strong army is still in the hands of Wei Ba, Wuling, and even the entire Jiangnan may be occupied by Shu Han, are you still making trouble?" Do you think your father is not embarrassed enough? Besides, your father is reluctant to do it, but I am willing, don't blame me for killing you with a sword, so as to save you from causing trouble. β
Sun Luban was so frightened that his neck shrunk, his mouth flattened, and aggrieved tears burst out of his eyes. She had lived with Mrs. Sun for so many days, and it was the first time she had seen Mrs. Sun get so angry that she actually threatened to kill her. She cried out with a "wow" and hid her face.
Sun Deng was embarrassed and speechless.
Mrs. Sun was still angry, but she didn't say anything more. After a while, she sighed, "Is your father alright?" β
Sun Deng shook his head: "Although my father is quite calm, I can see that he is very stressed. He glanced at the direction Sun Luban left, and sighed again: "He doesn't know about the big tiger yet, if he knows, I don't know what he will think." β
Mrs. Sun nodded. "At this point, it's useless to think too much. Since it is irretrievable, then don't delay, let's start early. When I arrive in Wuchang, you can help me find an opportunity, I want to meet your father, it can be regarded as a resignation. β
"Whoa." Sun Deng bowed to the ground: "Thank you, auntie." β
"Thank you, I am also surnamed Sun after all."
β¦β¦
Chengdu, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fei Yi, who had a haggard face, knelt down in front of Zhuge Liang, not even daring to come out. Wei Ba went to Wuxi was proposed by him and Ma Yan, Zhuge Liang did not agree at that time, because he felt that Wei Ba was not mature enough, and it was easy to take back Chengdu's study and cultivation, and there was some progress, and if he was suddenly released again, I am afraid it would be difficult to take it back. Now the situation was really guessed by Zhuge Liang, Wei Ba not only refused to return to Chengdu to take office, but also wanted to cut off Wuling, so he did not hesitate to push the Han-Wu alliance to the brink of rupture and ignore Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition plan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wei Ba was completely out of Zhuge Liang's control.
And he, as the person arranged by Zhuge Liang to contain Wei Ba, in this case, not only did not stop Wei Ba, but also helped Wei Ba deceive Lu Xun. If Zhuge Liang suspected that he had ulterior motives in doing this, he wouldn't even have a chance to explain. On the way back to Chengdu, he has been thinking about how to explain to Zhuge Liang, Zuihou thought about it, and felt that it was better to say it directly, in front of a wise man like Zhuge Liang, any explanation would be tantamount to covering up, and it would only backfire.
He has already finished speaking, and now he is waiting for Zhuge Liang's verdict.
Zhuge Liang picked up the pen on the case, his wrist stopped on the paper, but it didn't fall, and after a while, he slowly put down the pen in his hand. If this is the case three times, he twitched the corner of his eye, glanced at Fei Yi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and the water stain on the blue brick under Fei Yi's forehead, and exhaled lightly.
"Wen Wei, get up. You've worked hard, have a good rest for two days, and I'll talk about it with you. β
"Whoa." Fei Yi replied in a deep voice, got up and bowed again, bowed, took two steps back, and exited the lobby until he turned around and left.
Zhuge Liang looked at the thick military report on the case, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the military newspaper, his pale and slender fingers trembling involuntarily, as if he was touching a fire.
Zhuge Liang thought for a long time, called Changshi Yang Yi, and told him that he was going to take a day off. Yang Yi knew that Fei Yi was back, but he didn't have time to ask Fei Yi what was going on. Now that Zhuge Liang suddenly wants to take a break, he knows that the matter must be very serious, so that Zhuge Liang can't make a decision immediately, he wants to go back and rest for a day and think quietly. Since Zhuge Liang came to power, such a situation is very rare. He looked at the military newspaper on the case, very curious, but did not dare to ask.
Zhuge Liang simply cleaned up, and left the city without waiting for dark, and went straight to the manor outside the city. Knowing that her husband was back, Huang Yueying was very surprised, she welcomed Zhuge Liang into the mansion, sat down in the study, and before she could speak, Zhuge Liang took out the military report from her arms and pushed it in front of her.
Huang Yueying blinked: "Wuling's military report? β
"Hmm."
"It's so thick, it seems that Wei Ba has asked for a lot." Huang Yueying deliberately made a joke, but seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't have a smile on his face, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What does he want?" Too much is not enough? β
Zhuge Liang raised his hand and scratched the corners of his eyes that were a little sour: "It's enough to be too shou, but he wants Wuling to be too shou." β
Huang Yueying's hand shook, and her face suddenly turned pale: "This erector is too bold, he is not afraid of ......"
"He's not afraid of anything." Seeing Huang Yueying so surprised, Zhuge Liang laughed instead: "Madam, if you don't open this military report, you probably will never guess what kind of request Wei Ba made." β
"What, is there anything more excessive than Wuling Taishou?"
"Wuling Taishou, it's really nothing. At this point, Sun Quan has to give it, and if he doesn't give it, he has to give it. After saying a few words, Zhuge Liang suddenly relaxed, and a thick smile overflowed from his eyes. He picked up the teacup on the case, Huang Yueying hurriedly reached over, lifted the teapot, and poured him half a cup of tea. Zhuge Liang sipped tea and said with a smile: "He wants Sun Quan to send Mrs. Sun back." β
"Mrs. Sun? Which Mrs. Sun? β
"And which Mrs. Sun, of course, is Sun Quan's sister, the woman of the first emperor."
Huang Yueying was stunned for a while, and laughed angrily: "This is simple nonsense." β
"If it's just nonsense, it's easy." Zhuge Liang turned the teacup in his hand, staring at the ripples in the cup, and the smile in his eyes became more and more vigorous. "However, I think he is pretending, using this seemingly unbounded request to show me his toughness, to please Bixia, and to please those who hate Dongwu and Lu Xun. You see, I can do such a thing, what is so terrible about Wu Guo, what is so terrible about Lu Xun? β
Huang Yueying pursed her lips: "Since you know this, you can still laugh?" β
"Weishenme can't laugh?" Zhuge Liang finally couldn't help hahadaxiao: "He is not only as fierce as a tiger, but also as cunning as a fox, with such a person as a helper, restore the Central Plains, dominate the world, and complete the last wish of the first emperor has added a little hope, of course I can't ask for it." β
Huang Yueying looked at her husband with a smile, and when Zhuge Liang finished speaking, she said unhurriedly: "Fortune and misfortune are lurking, and misfortune is leaning on, are you not afraid that he will be Cao Cao?" β
The smile on Zhuge Liang's face slowly disappeared, he glanced at Huang Yueying, and nodded: "Madam, that's exactly what I'm worried about." Madame, is there any way to prevent it from happening? β
Huang Yueying pondered for a long time, and Zuihou said lightly: "Since this is the case, then fulfill his wish and let him be the Taishou of Wuling." (To be continued......)
