Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 95 90. Angry at Sun Quan

Chaisang.

Sun Quan had just seen off Xu Sheng and others a few days ago. They would enter Jingzhou from Jiangxia and go up the river to support Jiangling.

But Sun Quan still had a bad feeling. It seemed that things had been going in a direction he didn't want to see since Liu Bei's expedition to the east.

It was clearly me who did it first, whether it was defeating Cao Cao or taking back Jingzhou, how could I let that big-eared old thief be so comfortable?

This bad premonition came true almost immediately.

"My...My King, General Xu Sheng sent someone to bring back a cart...a cart..."

A guard rushed into the hall with a pale face and reported to the King of Wu of Wei, but for some reason he spoke haltingly.

"A car of what?"

Sun Quan questioned the guard angrily.

"A cart full of...human heads...including the corpse of the Grand Commander..."

The guard looked bitter and said it in a low voice.

"what?!"

Sun Quan immediately slammed the table and stood up.

A few days ago, the envoys sent by Feng Xi arrived in Jiangxia County. Because it is very close to Jiangdong, and Eastern Wu has had a special feeling for Jiangxia since the time of Huang Zu, almost all the people here are soldiers of Eastern Wu.

The envoy sent by Feng Xi also knew what he was delivering. If he was discovered, he would be in trouble as an envoy, so he hurried to Jiangxia County, said he was going to return Lu Xun's body, and left in a hurry.

The Jiangxia defenders only saw that the top layer of the firewood cart was indeed filled with Lu Xun's body, and they didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, they thought that the Han army was quite particular.

It happened that Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Zhou Tai and others led their troops to Jiangxia the next day. The city defender naturally informed Xu Sheng about this.

Xu Sheng went to see Lu Xun's body, but felt that the height of the cart was problematic, so he ordered his soldiers to respectfully move Lu Xun's body down and remove the haystack on top. Only then did he see more than a dozen human heads piled underneath.

Feng Xi was worried that the generals of the Eastern Wu would not be able to recognize whose heads these were, so he thoughtfully had someone write their official titles and names on a white cloth and cover each head with it.

Xu Sheng was furious when he saw this, but the Han envoy had already fled, so Xu Sheng had no choice but to reload the car and let Sun Quan know about it.

After all, even Xu Sheng was not qualified to privately deal with the heads of the Eastern Wu generals, including Han Dang.

So what happened just now happened.

Time went back to the present. Sun Quan saw the heads that Xu Sheng had sent back almost intact, covered with white cloth with names and official titles written on them. These people were once the backbone of Eastern Wu. Now Sun Quan was seeing them again in this way. He couldn't help but tremble with anger.

"Old Liu Bei...you've bullied me too much! You've bullied me too much!"

God is my witness, Feng Xi actually didn't have much intention. He just felt it was awkward to see them hanging under the banner of the Eastern Expedition Army, so he just let them return to their homeland. But Sun Quan didn't appreciate their kindness and felt that they were provoking him. Although he did have that intention at all, it wasn't entirely true either.

"Don't be angry, my king. The enemy deliberately insulted the corpse of our Jiangdong general. On the one hand, they wanted to avenge Guan Yu, and on the other hand, they deliberately wanted to anger you and make you fight them desperately. I hope you can calm down and don't lose your mind." Gu Yong stood up and comforted Sun Quan a few words. Sun Quan also took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"My dear ministers, do you know who killed my general? I will avenge him!"

The ministers looked at each other, and finally Bu Zhi, who had returned from Jiaozhou and had close ties with the army, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Liu Bei has returned to Sichuan after the battle of Yiling. Currently, the Shu army's expedition to the east is not commanded by Liu Bei himself, but a young general has been promoted to the position of Grand Commander of the Eastern Expedition Army and General of the Eastern Expedition. His name is Feng Xi, and his courtesy name is Xiuyuan."

"Feng Xi? I've never heard of this person."

Sun Quan snorted coldly. In his opinion, this person was definitely a small character and was not worthy of the attention of him, the King of Wu of the Great Wei.

“That’s not the case…Your Majesty, as far as I know, Feng Xiuyuan is from Nanjun, Jingzhou, and he was quite famous for his bravery when he was young.

His father died in the battle between Zhou Dudu and Cao Ren in Nanjun, so Feng Xiuyuan inherited the position of the head of the Feng family, sold his property, and joined Liu Bei's camp. After that, he followed Liu Bei into Sichuan and there was no news of him. Since the Battle of Yichang, he was promoted to the Grand Dudu by Liu Bei.

During the Battle of Yiling, Lu Boyan tried to defeat the Shu army with fire attack, but Feng Xiuyuan was well prepared and saw through Lu Boyan's fire attack plan, which led to the complete annihilation of our Wu army by the Shu army.

The person who is still besieging Jiangling is also Feng Xiuyuan."

Bu Zhi and his men were not so well-informed. They did not know that Jiangling had already been breached due to the internal sabotage by Hu Ban and Zhao Lei, and that not a single person from Eastern Wu had escaped. So Bu Zhi still thought that Feng Xi was still making things difficult for the city of Jiangling.

"Humph... To be so. When this man is captured by our army, I will personally torture him to death!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly a few times, and at the same time, he felt a little sad in his heart.

"Liu Bei has so many talented people under his command! First, there was Wolong who gave him advice, and then there was Guan Yu who shocked China. Now, a young Feng Xi who just popped out can beat his Jiangdong army into pieces."

Of course, Sun Quan could only think about these words in his heart, and naturally could not say them to his ministers. He also had to maintain his lofty style as the King of Wu.

"Your Majesty, here is a letter sent from Jiangbei. The messenger said it was written by the Emperor of Wei. Please read it yourself..."

The guard dared to continue speaking only after Sun Quan had finished going crazy. He took out a hardcover letter from his bosom. There was even a wax seal on the letter. It seemed that it was not an ordinary letter.

"Hmm? A letter written by Cao Pi? Strange, why didn't he use an imperial edict..."

Sun Quan muttered a few words. Logically, Cao Pi would have used an imperial edict to suppress Jiangdong's arrogance, so why did he write a secret letter?
Sun Quan opened the envelope and started reading. After finishing reading the letter from Cao Pi, his mood, which had calmed down, became furious again.

The reason is very simple, that is, what Cao Pi wrote in the letter was too insulting. It is also very simple to translate the content.

"Sun Quan, I heard that you were beaten badly by Liu Bei recently? But it doesn't matter. After all, you are the King of Wu of my Great Wei and my subject. How can I watch my subject being beaten and remain indifferent? How about this? You write a letter of surrender immediately and come to Xudu in person to present the surrender. I can accept it.

When the time comes, you will ask your shrimp soldiers and crab generals to quickly leave the Yangtze River defense line, and my Great Wei soldiers will enter Jiangdong and Jingzhou to protect your father and brother's foundation for you. You only need to be a rich man in Xudu. "

How could Sun Quan not be angry? No matter how hard I tried, I was still competing with your father. How dare you, a little bastard, speak so arrogantly now?
However, Sun Quan still secretly wrote down what Cao Pi said in the letter. Maybe when the time came, he really needed to seek help from Cao Wei.
