Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

At this moment, how could Fan Shang still dare to be tough?
Apart from concealing the fact that he had scolded Gu Jun, he told it all out like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

After hearing that Gu Jun was willing to die for the greater good and did not do anything to damage the reputation of the Han Dynasty, even the most rational Zhou Yu in the tent could not help but have tears in his eyes and regretted proposing to send such an envoy.

Zhou Yu originally thought that since the founding of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago, wars had been raised and countries had been destroyed many times due to the murder of Han envoys. The surrounding countries should know what the identity of a Han envoy represented.

In addition, Zhou Yu was not from Rinan County, and he was not very clear about the extent of Linyi Kingdom's arrogance towards Rinan County and the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty has always had a rule that "when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed."

Therefore, when Zhou Yu proposed to send an envoy, he had not expected that the Linyi Kingdom would be so bold.

As for the arrogant words of Gu Jun repeated by Fan Shang, Zhou Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

When an envoy from a superior country visits a barbarian country, what's wrong with him being a little arrogant and using a more domineering tone?
Could it be that the Han envoys are not qualified to speak to the barbarian countries in such a tone?

Not to mention that Zhou Yu would not feel anything about this. If anyone thinks that the Han envoys should be servile and submissive, even many of the great Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty would jump up and slap him in the face.

Ever since the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Nanyue in the south, and established the Protectorate in the west, it has always been so strong in its external relations.

"Gu Jun, you are a real man who does not let down the Han Dynasty's might!"

Xu Sheng was the first to express his views on this.

"If Gu Jun hadn't died, a man like him would have gotten drunk with him." Gan Ning also showed his emotion.

"There are also real men in Rinnan County!" Zhou Yu said with some emotion.

Only Sun Ce remained silent, staring coldly at Fan Shang in front of him, which frightened Fan Shang so much that he said with trembling legs, "I... I've already said it all, spare my life, spare my life..."

Sun Ce kicked Fan Shang to the ground and said, "Get lost! Tell the criminal Qu Lian exactly what I said just now. I will be in Champa soon."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Fan Shang, as if he had been granted amnesty, almost crawled out.

After Fan Shang left in a hurry, everyone in the military tent came out one after another and ordered people to open the coffin.

Looking at Gu Jun’s decapitated body in the coffin, everyone was filled with grief and anger.

And it was obvious that there were no good corpse tailors in the Linyi Kingdom, so they just dealt with it early on.

So Xu Sheng immediately asked someone to find a corpse tailor in the army so that Gu Jun could be buried in peace in peace.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the military has liked to judge military merit by the number of heads taken.

To some extent, this can be considered as long-term illness makes one a doctor, as there has always been no shortage of soldiers in the army who have mastered excellent corpse sewing techniques so that they can repair the bodies of their comrades.

After repairing Gu Jun's body, Yu Guo was very grateful to Xu Sheng, but he couldn't help but speak with sadness.

"I have one more unwelcome request."

"Lord Yu, please feel free to speak." Xu Sheng replied.

Yu Guo spoke slowly.

"My brother-in-law has always loved our Han culture, but unfortunately he was born in Rinan County and has no teachers to teach him. So he always yearns for the Central Plains and hopes to see the scenery of the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty one day. So I wonder if General Xu can take him to a prosperous place in the Central Plains to bury him?"

"If this can take into account the envoy's wishes, Xu Sheng will definitely make arrangements."

After a pause, Xu Sheng continued.

"Moreover, Sheng will also record the matter of Gu Shi truthfully and present it to the lord, who will personally ask the court for credit, and record it in the history books so that future generations can sing and commemorate it."

"Then I will thank General Xu on behalf of my brother-in-law." Yu Guo said gratefully. Sun Ce, who was listening on the side, was more concerned about other things than Gu Jun's funeral, so he asked.

"Can Envoy Gu leave any descendants?"

"I have a son who is almost ten years old." Yu Guo replied.

Since people in their teens often get married, it is not uncommon for Gu Jun to have a ten-year-old son even though he looks to be in his twenties.

And this age also makes Sun Ce feel quite emotional.

Sun Ce still remembers the first time he met his teacher, it seemed as if he was the same age.

Immediately, Sun Strategy hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"If Lord Yu trusts me, you can let Envoy Gu's young son be taken care of by me. I have heard that you intend to look for gifted children from all over the country to teach them personally. I am ready to recommend Gu's young son to you."

"If he can be valued by the teacher, he will one day... become a disciple of a national scholar, which will ensure a life of wealth and prosperity without worries."

After a pause, Sun Ce did not forget to add.

"Even if the teacher doesn't like him, I will still adopt him as my adopted son and teach him by my side."

Upon hearing this, Yu Guo immediately revealed a look of ecstasy.

With the recent contacts between the State of Yu and Xu Sheng and others, it was natural for them to learn from Xu Sheng and others about the deeds of Liu Bei, the governor of Yangzhou, and Li Ji, the national hero, as well as a considerable part of the current situation of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, if Gu Jun's son could be accepted as a disciple by the Marquis of Guoshi, he would definitely have a promising future!

“Kekekeke!!”

Yu Guo agreed almost instantly, and even the grief he originally felt because of Gu Jun was diluted a little.

Perhaps Gu Jun was unable to witness the prosperity of the Han Dynasty in his lifetime, but his son was able to see it on his behalf. I think Gu Jun should be able to rest in peace in his grave.

In order to show his admiration for Gu Jun, Xu Sheng took the initiative to spread the news that "the Han envoy visited Linyi and was killed by the Linyi Kingdom" throughout the army.

For a moment, the three armies were outraged.

This incident seemed to have hit the bottom line of the Han people.

From officers to soldiers, everyone was angry.

There was no need for Xu Sheng to boost morale, as the morale of the three armies had already reached an incredible level.

Seeing this, Xu Sheng did not delay and had already made many preparations. He led 25,000 troops to break camp and march south that day.

Only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led their personal guards and quietly left the army, walked to the seaside to meet the support boat, and returned to the fleet that had already moved far away from the shore.

Moreover, Fan Shang and others who came on the diplomatic mission were "protected" by a large group of people after entering Rinan County, and they were not allowed to come into contact with the people around Xijuan City who knew about the existence of the fleet.

Therefore, while the Han army was advancing southward like thunder, an unknown fleet of the Linyi Kingdom was already cruising in the sea, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the Linyi Kingdom.

Xijuan City was not far from the border with Linyi State. With morale high, they reached the border of Linyi State in less than two days of marching.

What was slightly beyond Xu Sheng's expectations was that before the Han army actually entered the territory of Linyi, scouts reported that a large army seemed to be deploying in battle formation ahead.

Hearing this, Gan Ning showed a ferocious smile on his face and said in a cold voice.

"Okay, okay, your courage is commendable!" (End of this chapter)
