Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 448
Sun Quan suffered a big loss in Jiaozhou. His confidants Bu Zhi and Wei Jing died, and Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhong died in battle.

Therefore, after Hu Ke was "innocent" in prison, he received a severe beating very quickly, but he was beaten very hard in the army that fell into the formation, and this physical pain is completely acceptable.

Although Hu Ke complained repeatedly on the surface, he never admitted that he was a spy.

Sun Quan found out that Hu Ke belonged to Shi Xie, so he called Zhang Zhao to discuss and asked, "Zi Bu prevented me from killing Shi Qian (xin) before, but now that Yu Xiu (Hu Ke's pseudonym) has been identified, he can be beheaded." Is this person going to vent his anger on Shi Xie?"

Zhang Zhaolu must analyze: "Wei Ziqi poisoned Shiwu before, and he was later killed by Shihui should be a causal cycle."

"But Buzishan also died unexpectedly." Sun Quan argued.

"Didn't the leader of the Yue people who offered the medicine also die? The old minister thinks that Yu Xiu is just an insignificant person. My lord, don't get angry and make mistakes for the sake of convenience." Zhang Zhao advised.

Sun Quan frowned after hearing this, and then asked coldly: "I'm not a three-year-old child, since Yu Xiu is insignificant, why should I have any scruples if I kill you?"

"In my opinion, Yu Xiu's appearance is from the Central Plains. If he is willing to risk his life for Shi Xie, there must be a price. As long as the lord's bid is higher than Shi Xie's, then he can be used by me." Zhang Zhao continued.

Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that Shi Xie let this person lurk beside Lan Tian, ​​and Lan Tian sent him to Jiangdong to promote Guangzhou City. Maybe there is something special about him?
If he succeeds in instigating his rebellion, when the old Shi Xie dies, let Shi Qian (xin) bring back the cochin to seize the throne, and then he can backstab the owl (Lan Tian) from the South China Sea.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's mouth showed a smile, so he decided to follow Zhang Zhao's suggestion and go to the prison to meet this spy in person.

Jianye's cell was dark and dark, and Hu Ke was locked in a separate cell because of his special status.

Sun Quan strode to the prison door, then turned his back and squinted at the blood-stained Hu Ke. Hu Ke looked at the blue-eyed and purple-bearded man through the faint light, and knew that Jiangdong's rightful lord had arrived.

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the cell door and shouted, "Let me out quickly. I'm just an ordinary businessman. Why should I be locked up here? Is this how you treat guests?"

Sun Quan laughed when he heard his self-examination: "What an ordinary businessman, what a marching chief Hu Ke."

Hu Ke pretended to be flustered, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm from Jingzhao, surnamed Yu Mingxiu, and I'm a businessman from Jiaozhou."

Sun Quan took two steps closer, staring at Hu Ke with blue eyes and sneering: "Jing Zhao Yuxiu? Hahaha, maybe this is your real name, but when you were in Jiaozhou, your name was Hu Ke, and you were the marching commander of Jiaozhi prefect Xie (xie)"

"You, you, what are you?" Hu Ke continued to act flustered.

Sun Quan looked up to the sky and laughed proudly: "Am I a Shixie who is comparable to a mediocre lord? Sun Quan, the general of chariots and cavalry, is just here."

Hu Ke suddenly changed his flustered attitude, and sneered, "So it's you? It's nothing special."

Sun Quan looked at him squintingly: "Er is a prisoner under the rank. Now that your identity has been ascertained carefully, what is waiting for you is a decapitated body. It is extremely stupid not to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but to speak quickly here."

"Hmph, 'Having a son is like Sun Zhongmou, Hefei gives away a hundred thousand heads', you are so majestic? If you want to take my head, do it as soon as possible, frown and count me as an idiot." Hu Ke said awe-inspiringly.

Sun Quan's hair was going to stand on end when he heard this, and he glared at Hu Ke and shouted, "You are about to die, and you still dare to insult this general, just wait until you die tomorrow."

"The fourteen words 'praise' to you are known to women and children in Jiaozhou. Since you are so angry, why don't you go and slaughter the whole place in Jiaozhou?" Hu Ke shook his head and walked back to his dark corner.

Sun Quan was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and approached, his voice was low and dark, "Women and children in Jiaozhou know it, what do you mean by that?"

"It turns out that General Sun didn't know about the Lingnan Daily? The first issue described the Battle of Hefei very well, and the title was just the fourteen words." Hu Ke said flatly.

The furious Sun Quan became calm after hearing this explanation. He had been secretly observing the Yangtze River News. The strange thing is that the Changjiang News mentioned the battle of Hefei, only saying that Jiangdong lost in the attack on Hefei, and did not list the strength of both sides at all. For the specific data, Sun Quan thought that Guan Yu was taking care of the overall situation, but unexpectedly, an unknown "Lingnan Daily" popped up.

"What is "Lingnan Daily"?" Sun Quan asked with a frown.

"It seems to be a newspaper circulating in Jiaozhou. Most of the content in the newspaper is local affairs in Jiaozhou. This is very different from the Changjiang Daily." Hu Ke said impatiently.

Sun Quan finally understood that it was because Lan Tian deliberately disgusted himself, he closed the door and slandered Jiaozhou wantonly, thinking of this, he punched the prison door.

"If you want to kill, you can kill, and you don't need to vent your anger in prison." Hu Ke spoke contemptuously.

Sun Quan tried his best to control his emotions and recalled his real purpose today. He looked at the dark prison cell and said in a low voice, "Shi Xie asked you to stay in the South China Sea to work as a spy. It must have been discovered by the owl? Otherwise, why would he send you to Jiangdong? Borrow the knife in my hand to kill you?"

"Owl? What is that?" Hu Ke showed a surprised expression.

Sun Quan sneered: "That's Lan Tian's code name, this guy is as vicious and cunning as an owl."

"People in Jiaozhou call General Lan Mr. Xuan Xiao. It is said that Liu Yizhou called him that for the first time. As for Sun Cheqi's borrowing of a knife to kill people, I don't know. I don't know if I ask myself," Hu Ke replied indifferently.

"Mr. Xuanxiao? Liu Xuande actually changed this guy's nickname, and he really took good care of this wife and brother, but judging by Lantian's cunning, how could you be trusted in Jiaozhou? He sent you to Jiangdong now. If you work carefully, you have no intention of letting you go back at all." Sun Quan slowly found the feeling of persuading surrender, and he stroked his purple beard and analyzed it accurately.

"What exactly does Sun Cheqi mean?" Hu Ke frowned.

"Your lord, Shi Xie, sent you to the South China Sea to be your eyes and ears. Now you are in Jiangdong's prison, and your life is in danger at any time. You can't extricate yourself like a carrot. This is the time when you are in a dilemma. Why don't you serve me in Jiangdong? I must be more sincere than Shi Xie in giving you the glory and wealth." Sun Quan looked at Hu Ke and solemnly promised.

"It's so-called that a strong woman will not marry two husbands, and a loyal minister will not serve two masters. Although Yu comes from a humble background, he will not easily betray his old master. Sun Cheqi should give me a good time." Hu Ke refused sonorously.

Sun Quan clapped his hands and nodded, "I admire the loyal and righteous people the most, but Shi Xie is already a rare age, how many years does he have left? Now that he has come to Jiangdong under orders, how can he let you go easily? Ruo Shi Xie will pass away soon, who can you pledge allegiance to?"

Hu Ke pretended to be stunned, and pretended to be deep and did not answer. He knew that Sun Quan should be hooked soon.
