Chapter 425: Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

In history, only the important figures in the Wu Kingdom were demoted, and most of them had no news at all, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

For example, Sun Luban failed in his struggle for power and was demoted to the local government. This person was soon found to be missing.

As for the reasons, there may be many reasons.

On the one hand, it is the persecution of political enemies, and on the other hand, in the eyes of the scholars in the Central Plains, Yangzhou is an alienated land. An alienated land is relegated to a barbaric land, where normal miasma, snakes, insects, and barbarians are enough. You've had a drink.

"Lü'er did go a bit too far, but on this occasion, Lü'er might not be able to become a channel of communication with Han."

Even though Sun Lu did many excessive things, Sun Quan had no intention of dealing with Sun Lu immediately.

When the two countries were at war, the post staff from both sides had already withdrawn.

Unless envoys are sent between the two countries, it is difficult to communicate information.

As for sending envoys, one is that it takes a long time, and the other is that the goal is large.

If some secret treaties were sent out, wouldn't everyone know about them?

Yes, Sun Quan is still thinking about contacting Han.

The alliance between Han and Wei was like the moon in a mirror, complicated and confusing. The time between alliance and betrayal would not be long.

It is always right to prepare in advance.

Sun Quan's answer disappointed Zhuge Ke, and he could only say: "I'm afraid that if you just indulge in deposing the Marquis of Jianchang like this, the whole government and the public will be disappointed."

Government and opposition parties?

I'm afraid it's not the Prince's Mansion!

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Zhuge Ke who was standing at the bottom and asked as if he didn't care: "The palace of Wu sent imperial doctors to the prince's residence. Why don't you see them recuperating the prince's body? Is it you, a slave, who stopped it, or the prince?" of?"

Royal doctor!

finally come.

The change in King Wu's attitude may also be related to the rumors with evidence.

Zhuge Ke had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's body has recovered. For the next thing, he does not need the imperial doctor to nurse him back to health. Therefore, the imperial physician sent to the Prince's Mansion from the Wu Palace was not used."

"Oh?"

Sun Quan's tone remained calm.

"But how did I know that during the few days when the prince woke up, you sent Ci Jietun to buy a lot of medicinal materials. In these days, the supplies coming in and out of the prince's residence also included a lot of detoxifying and warming medicines. ?”

Sun Quan's calm tone made Zhuge Ke sweat droplets on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, this."

Seeing that Zhuge Ke still didn't want to explain, Sun Quan's tone became even more cold.

"Don't think that Gu will hand over Cijiao Tun into the hands of others, and Cijiao Tun will become your personal power, Zhuge Ke. Gu will be fully aware of what you do."

With all the cards on the table, Zhuge Ke was so frightened that he turned pale and immediately knelt down with his butt raised high, not even daring to raise his head.

"Say it, tell me everything you know."

Zhuge Ke thought rapidly in his mind, and in the end he had no choice but to raise his head tremblingly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed lost a lot of vitality in the six months since he was in coma. In addition, what made His Highness wake up was a strong medicine. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, took this powerful medicine and his body was severely damaged. I heard that his life span will be shortened by five years."

He naturally told the truth of the matter accurately.

As for the degree of truth, Zhuge Ke must put it in a positive light.

"The prince's physical wear and tear is naturally clear to Lonely Heart. If it is really that his life span is only five years lost, why should the prince's residence be so secretive?"

There was deep distrust in Sun Quan's words.

"Even now, are you still hiding the truth from me?"

Sun Quan suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Could it be that you think Gu can't kill you?"

"Your Majesty~"

Zhuge Ke swallowed his saliva and said, "I will explain this now."

Zhuge Ke knew that if he could not give Sun Quan a satisfactory answer, he might have to leave the Wu Palace lying down today.

"The prince has been in bed for too long, which will shorten his life for at least ten years. Moreover, because of the strong medicine, His Highness has damaged his body. Now, even with the medicine to warm up, it is difficult to recover."

Sun Quan's face darkened and he said, "Is there no other way?"

Zhuge Ke immediately said: "Maybe the miracle doctor Hua Tuo will be able to do something. If Zhang Zhongjing is not dead, maybe there will be something to do. But most of the famous doctors in Wu are helpless."

"There is nothing you can do, so you still invite us? And you kill so many doctors?"

This doctor can also be said to be a precious resource for a country.

What's more, he is the top doctor in the country.

During this period, the Prince's Mansion killed six or seven famous doctors from the Kingdom of Wu, which made doctors from other parts of the Kingdom of Wu afraid to come to Jianye at all.

"It is difficult to spread this matter to the outside world. The king and his ministers can only make this decision. It is a last resort."

"Hey~"

Sun Quan sighed and said, "It seems that Deng'er still can't trust Gu!" His tone was a bit complicated.

Glad?

pain?

Pity?

Too many emotions were revealed in his tone.

"Go down. There is no need to tell the prince what happened today. If you dare to say it,"

The cold light in Sun Quan's eyes flashed away.

bang bang bang~

Zhuge Ke kowtows like a timer, banging, banging, banging.

"I swear by heaven that if I dare to reveal today's events to His Highness the Crown Prince, I will not die well and will become the food of fish and turtles in the river."

Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction.

"If the prince asks you about what happened when you entered the palace today, how will you deal with it?"

"The king summoned me and asked about the recent news about the alliance between Han and Wei."

"very good!"

After hearing Zhuge Ke's answer, Sun Quan waved his hand with satisfaction.

"In that case, just go down."

Zhuge Ke stood up slowly, his thighs trembling.

There is no family affection in a princely family.

Now Zhuge Ke has felt it.

just

What does the king mean by not letting me tell the prince what happened today?

Has the prince lost power, or does he still trust the prince?

The heart of an emperor is difficult to fathom.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, perhaps this is what it means.

In Qichun City.

Located on the edge of Qishui.

The city is not big, but it is obviously fortified.

The city wall is tall and thick, made of staggered boulders and bricks, and it still stands despite being eroded by wind and rain. The city walls are covered with arrow stacks and lookout towers. The soldiers guarding the city are always vigilant about the surrounding movements to ensure the safety of the city.

The city gate is a solid iron gate that requires the combined efforts of many people to open it. Behind the city gate is a narrow and deep corridor. There are hidden arrows and traps on both sides of the corridor, making it impossible for enemies to easily invade.

There is a wide moat around the city. The river is fast and difficult to wade on foot. There were dense bamboo rafts and wooden rafts floating on the river. Once an enemy tried to cross the river, the soldiers guarding the city could attack with bows, arrows and slings.

Moreover, within a thousand meters of the city, except for the fortress, there are no trees or other obstacles that can provide shelter.

Of course, in addition to defense, Qichun's farming operations were also successful.

Outside Qichun City, a large area of ​​fertile land was washed away by the impact of Xishui River and Qishui River.

Now you can vaguely see the green wheat seedlings buried in the heavy snow on the fields.

If the snow is heavy this year, the defense of the city will be good next year.

In fact, when it came to banning the farmland in Jiangxia, the food and grass matters did not need Jiangling to be transferred at all. It was only the arms, money and silk that needed Jiangling's support.

"Drive~"

"Xu~"

Ah Huinan led three hundred elite cavalry of the Wudang Flying Army and arrived at Qichun City first.

Of his three hundred elite flying troops, only a small number of them rode big northern horses, while the rest mostly rode short southern horses.

no way.

War horse resources are scarce, and even the southern horse can only come to support one.

If they were to deal with the Wei cavalry, Ah Huinan would definitely not dare to pull out these three hundred elite flying troops.

But now he is facing Wu Guo, whose infantry combat effectiveness is impressive, so there is nothing to say.

Let you, Wu State, see how powerful I am as a flying army!

Although the war has not started yet, pre-war testing has already begun.

Now it's a war between rangers and scouts.

Whether they can win during this period will mean how much intelligence advantage the Han army will have when the war comes.

When he opened his eyes on the battlefield, his eyes were completely black.

Those are two completely different games!

There will be another update in the evening.

I caught a cold. It's nearly 38 degrees. Let's get rid of the fever first.
