Cao Thief

Chapter 725

"Do you want to go?"

Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Shao with surprise on his face.

She arrived in Fuchun in the evening, and after arriving at the ancestral house, Mrs. Da Qiao tried to sound her out.Sun Shao wanted to leave Jiangdong, find another way out, and start a career.The mood is understandable, but very difficult.Mrs. Da Qiao knew very well that it would be very difficult to leave Jiangdong, even this ancestral house... Now that Sun Quan's position is stable, almost all of the ancestral house is his eyes and ears.If it weren't for the important place in the back house and Wu Guotai's insistence, Sun Quan would not be able to install his eyes and ears, and he might not even be able to talk and sleep at ease.

There are no more than a dozen slaves in the huge back house.

Moreover, most of these servants were those who married into the Sun family with Mrs. Da Qiao, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.

However, if you want to get out of this door, you must have external help.That's why Mrs. Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang acted to test the tone.

Sun Shangxiang, let the double ten go.

According to the customs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you don't get married at sixteen, you are considered an older woman.

However, this Sun Shangxiang is very much loved by the old lady Wu Guotai, and he is good at wielding guns and knives, and has a rather staunch temperament, so no one dares to marry him.

Of course, it was also Sun Shangxiang who did not want to marry.

So until now, my sister-in-law is still alone, with a group of maids and servants on weekdays, all following the rules of the military camp.In Wu County, almost everyone knew Sun Shangxiang's name, and the arrogance of his servants and maidservants, even the people in Wuhou's mansion had to stay away.

Arrogance and arrogance!

This is the evaluation of Sun Shangxiang by many people.

However, some people think that Sun Shangxiang has the style of a man, the spirit of a man, quite the spirit of Sun Bofu back then...

Sun Shangxiang does not live in Fuchun, but has another residence in Wu County.Wu Guo was too fond of her, and Sun Quan didn't bother to take care of her, which made Sun Shangxiang even more arrogant.Every year, she returns to her ancestral home for a period of time.One is to travel in the mountains and rivers, and the other is to accompany Da Qiao's mother and son.

Sun Shangxiang is arrogant, but not stupid.

She keenly caught some information from Da Qiaofu's mouth, and then caught Sun Shao to question him, and got the answer easily.

Sun Shao is brave and strong, and his wife is virtuous.

But compared to Sun Shangxiang, he seems to be a little less knowledgeable.

Sun Shaoting was afraid of this aunt, so his face turned pale, but he still nodded stubbornly.

On the side, Mrs. Da Qiao showed a look of panic, and silently said nothing.Sun Shangxiang looked at the four mother and child in front of him, but after a while he let out a long sigh.

"Then you can think about it, where are you going?"

"I, I, I want to go to Liangzhou."

"Liangzhou?"

"I heard that Liangzhou is now prosperous and prosperous, and it is constantly expanding.

Last year, Hexi County crossed Shizuishan Mountain and went deep into Mobei Grassland; Jiuquan County moved westward one after another, and 36 countries submitted their lists one after another.

This is the time when men and women establish meritorious deeds. I want to go north to seek meritorious deeds so as not to lose my father's prestige. "

Every man hopes to make a name for himself in a foreign land and make great achievements.

Even Cao Cao's ideal back then was just like that of Marquis Dingyuan, and his name will remain in history.Although Sun Shao was imprisoned in the ancestral house in Fuchun, he was not isolated from the world.The development of Liangzhou in these years has often spread to his ears.As a military general, he hopes to expand the territory and destroy the Hulu like Huo Qubing did.However, he is just a bird in a cage, so he can only think about it.Now that he has talked to Sun Shangxiang, he is not afraid of Sun Shangxiang's embarrassment.Because he also knew that Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan were not in harmony.

Sun Shangxiang is a manly woman.

Unlike Sun Quan's situation, Sun Shangxiang can be said to have been taken care of by her elder brother Sun Ce since she was a child. In her mind, Sun Ce is like a father.

So unconsciously, he also acquired Sun Ce's temper, such as staunchness, such as boldness...

And what about Sun Quan?He grew up beside Sun Jian.After Sun Jian's death, as Sun Ce's assistant, Sun Quan has been in charge since he was a child, with his own thoughts.After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan took over Jiangdong.Even though it was Sun Ce's last order, Sun Shangxiang still felt unconvinced.In particular, Sun Quan imprisoned Sun Shao and desperately wiped out Sun Ce's influence in Jiangdong, which also made Sun Shangxiang very dissatisfied...

How could she not know what happened to Sun Shao's mother and son these years.

However, she was powerless to change, and could only take care of her secretly.

Living in Fuchun for several months every year, to put it bluntly, I hope that Da Qiao and Sun Shao's mother and son can live a little easier.

This is also the greatest help she can give Sun Shao.

But he didn't expect that Sun Shao suddenly wanted to escape and wanted to go north to Liangzhou.

Jiangdong is in the southeast, and Liangzhou is thousands of miles away in the northwest.Sun Shangxiang frowned, showing a look of embarrassment.

"Shao, do you know that if you do this, it will be difficult to turn back in the future."

"Go back?"

Sun Shao sneered, "What's the point of turning back? My father passed away, and Jiangdong is no longer a place for my mother and son. Now, although I have my grandmother and aunt to take care of me, how long can I take care of it? Uncle wants me to go to Xudu, but it's just a plan to kill someone with a knife .Although I am young, I am not stupid. If I go to Xudu, can I turn back? In the end, am I still a pawn in the hands of my uncle?
Auntie, this is not what I want, nor do I want to stay here.

If my mother and sister and I continue to live here, we may not have a good death in the end.

Auntie, for my father's sake, please help us... help us escape from this cage, it can be regarded as giving us a way out. "

Sun Shangxiang was silent!

After a long time, she asked Da Qiao softly, "Sister-in-law also thinks the same?"

Now that the words have reached this point, Da Qiao is willing to go all out.

Sun Shao is right, staying in Jiangdong is a dead end.Even if Da Qiao doesn't think about himself, he must think about Sun Shao and his two daughters.That's right, now that the old lady Wu Guotai is taking care of her, and her younger sister is married to Zhou Yu, she can also have an extra layer of protection.But how long can this guarantee last?Who can tell clearly...

Sun Shao is Sun Quan's own nephew, yet he was still so suspicious.

No matter how close the sisters are, how long can they last?After all, the water splashed by the married daughter!Although Xiao Qiao is Da Qiao's younger sister, she is Mrs. Zhou after all, and what she has to consider is the future of Zhou Yu and his son and daughter.As for Zhou Yu, will he really decide for his own mother and son?The four of Da Qiao, mother and son have been living in seclusion in Fuchun for many years, and the number of times Zhou Yu came can be counted on one hand.

Zhou Yu is Sun Shao's uncle!

But what he did was even worse than that of an old general like Cheng Pu...

Of course, from Da Qiao's standpoint, there are enough reasons to blame Zhou Yu.But from Zhou Yu's point of view, he did this to protect Sun Shao.After all, as the governor of the Jiangdong Navy, few people under Sun Quan can match him.With such an identity and status, coupled with the fact that he was not a confidant of Sun Quan, he was already suspected.If he visited Sun Shao more often, Sun Quan's suspicion of Sun Shao would become even stronger.If it is not done well, Sun Quan will even desperately try to kill Sun Shao... He has such means and ability.Back then he was able to do the poisonous killing of Lu Xun, but now he is the lord of Soochow Wu, killing Sun Shao is as easy as turning the palm of his hand.

But precisely because of this, Zhou Yu was also under tremendous pressure.

Cheng Pu Han was a veteran, and the reason why he had always been dissatisfied with him was that although he was young, he was above Cheng Pu and others, but Zhou Yu's neglect of Sun Shao was also a major reason.In short, Jiangdong seems to be harmonious, but the interior is extremely complicated.

Now that Da Qiao was willing to go all out, the dissatisfaction he had felt for so many years suddenly burst out.

"What Shao said is correct, if you continue to stay here, you will die.

The concubine's life or death is unimportant, but Shao is Bofu's only flesh and blood... Sister, you can see that Shao and I live here, and we are the owners of this mansion in name, but there are hundreds of people in this mansion, and there are many... How many people think we are the masters?Even if it is an inch of space in this small inner house, one must speak carefully.If it wasn't for my sister's arrival today, we wouldn't even dare to say what was in our hearts.

You say I have complaints, yes, I do have complaints.

The six counties in Jiangdong were defeated by Bo Fu.On his deathbed, Bo Fu entrusted the country to his uncle, I have no objection.But now, Shao has grown up, but it is difficult to even walk out the gate of this mansion.Are we masters, or prisoners here? "

As Da Qiao spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

The two daughters couldn't help crying when they saw their mother crying.

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, and hurried up to hold the two girls in her arms, "Sister-in-law, look at you... you scared Yan and Li!
Shang Xiang doesn't know the pain in sister-in-law's heart.

How..."

Sun Shangxiang's words came to his lips, but they turned into a deep sigh.

After a while, she stretched out her hand and pulled Sun Shao over, and said to herself, "In the blink of an eye, Shao has grown up. If my brother is alive, he will be very happy."

"aunt……"

"Shao, how do you want me to help you?"

"I...I want to take my mother and get out of this damn place."

"To Liangzhou?"

"kindness!"

"No regrets?"

"Never regret..."

Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly and said: "I can understand your thoughts, but...you have to understand that even if I can help you leave, but you will walk out of Fuchun, your second uncle will definitely take action. When the time comes, wait If you go to the river, you will definitely be caught by the second brother.

At that time..."

Sun Shangxiang closed her eyes and said after a long silence: "Shao, if you want to leave, I will help you.

It's just that this matter should be considered in the long run, and it must not be acted rashly.And even if you escape from Jiangdong, it will be difficult for you to move to the north.I heard people say that there are many new rules in the north now.For example, the money and silk we use are difficult to use in the north.

Moreover, there are many barriers along the way, if you don't turn off the disc, I'm afraid you will be caught before you arrive in Liangzhou.

...Going to Liangzhou, I need someone to recommend.Although you have lost your freedom here, you will have no worries about food and clothing after all.Could it be that you took your mother and sister to eat and sleep in the open?Therefore, this matter still needs to have a detailed plan.Well, it must be better to make a living. "

What Sun Shangxiang said made Sun Shao overjoyed.

How could he fail to hear that Sun Shangxiang was not trying to perfunctory him, but sincerely wanted to help him.Turning his head to look at his mother, he saw a smile appearing on his mother's pale face.This smile is charming!Since Sun Ce passed away, Sun Shao had never seen his mother smile so brightly.He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his excitement, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask my aunt, do you have any suggestions?"

"Go to Liangzhou..."

Sun Shangxiang smiled slightly.

"Perhaps that person can help."

"Who?"

Sun Shangxiang smiled, "Don't ask these questions... In this way, you will go to Shanyin with me tomorrow morning, and let's pay a visit to He Qi."

"what?"

"I believe that He Gongmiao will not stand by and watch like your uncle."

"However, if I want to go out, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Sun Shangxiang sneered: "What's the problem? I'd like to see which one dares to stop me from taking you out of this gate."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++
As Sun Shangxiang said, no one dared to stop her in the Sun family's ancestral house in Fuchun.

Sun Shangxiang's unreasonable reputation, who doesn't know?Not to mention the maidservants around her, all of them are aggressive.If you offend this Jiangdong eldest princess, you will die!In the past few years, there are not one or two people who have died in the hands of Sun Shangxiang...

However, she is still arrogant and domineering.

However, if you don't stop it, you don't stop it, but it won't hinder these retainers, so notify Sun Quan quickly.

It's just that Sun Quan didn't care about other things at this time. Cao Cao's No.13 mission had arrived in Jiangdong.The leader is not unfamiliar to Jiangdong, Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu.

During Kuai Yue's trip, there were two things.

One is to confirm the marriage between Sun Shao and Cao Cao's daughter, and the other is to add Sun Quan to the post of Sima.

This big Sima is one of the three men.

Although now Cao Cao has reset the prime minister's mansion and cut the power of the three officials completely.But for many people, including Sun Quan, it is also a huge temptation.Sangong, that is the supreme honor!Not to mention Sun Quan, even Liu Zhang, a relative of the emperor who was far away in Yizhou, who was born as an emperor of the Han Dynasty, was also eyeing him.Otherwise, he would not take the initiative to ask Cao Cao for a reward and the position of Da Situ.

And the position of Da Sima is better than that of Da Situ.

Even if Sun Quan was not a son of a noble family, Sun Jian's background was nothing more than a merchant.

If he can get the title of Great Sima, it will definitely be a glorious thing for the Sun family.Faced with such a temptation, how could Sun Quan refuse?

In addition, he had already agreed in his heart to marry Cao Cao, so when the news of Fuchun came, Sun Quan didn't care.

"Since Shang Xiang took him out, let him go."

There is also a subtext, his mother and younger sister are in my hands, so what tricks can he do?As for He Qi... Sun Quan had some concerns.He Qi was single-handedly promoted by Sun Ce, and he has made great military exploits.It can be said that Kuaiji Shanyue is so honest now because He Qi is in charge of Shanyin.Sun Shangxiang took Sun Shao to visit He Qi, but it was not a big deal.Could it be that He Qizhen dared to rebel for Sun Shao?He Qi is from a noble family, although he is not as big as the Gu family in Wu county and the Lu family in Songjiang, he still has a large family.

Therefore, Sun Quan was not worried.

Sun Shao is going to Xudu sooner or later...and let him spend a few days in Fuchun.

Therefore, instead of asking about this matter, Sun Quan sent someone to tell Fuchun: "Shao is the eldest son of the elder brother, and even the eldest grandson of the Sun family... It is normal to go in and out of the house, why do you need to report it? You are serving in the ancestral house, you know High and low. Sister-in-law's family's expenses are indispensable, and if there is negligence, they will definitely be punished."

It sounds like Sun Quan cares deeply for Sun Shao's family.

But after careful consideration, he could hear another meaning: stare at Da Qiao and her two daughters!

There is a saying that there is no family affection in the emperor's house.

Although the Sun family is not an emperor's family, Sun Quan's fear of Sun Shao's family is colder and more ruthless than the emperor's family...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++
Outside Wuhou's mansion, Zhuge Liang was depressed.

Beside him, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin also had bitter smiles on their faces.

"Kong Ming, Hugh looks like this... Although Marquis Wu didn't agree to it today, he was summoned to you after all, which shows that Marquis Wu has no objection in his heart."

Zhuge Jin patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and comforted him softly.

For her brother, Zhuge Jin complained, but at the same time agreed very much.

Zhuge Jin also appreciated Zhuge Liang's strategy of "dividing the world into three parts, and Sun and Wu teamed up to resist Cao Cao".Not only Zhuge Jin, but Lu Su also attached great importance to Zhuge Liang's strategy. "Three points in the world" is similar to Lu Su's "couch on the policy".Even to a certain extent, "three points of the world" is more detailed and detailed than "couch on the policy".At the same time, this point of view is also a bit more subtle than the "couch on the policy".So that after Lu Su heard Zhuge Liang's "three points in the world", he sighed in disappointment: "I am not as good as Kong Ming!"

In private, Lu Su complained even more about Zhuge Jin, "Why didn't Ziyu recommend Kong Ming to the lord, so that Liu Beiping could help."

Zhuge Jin can only smile wryly...

This brother of his own is not something he can persuade.

Since he was a child, Zhuge Liang had his ideas and opinions.Not to mention Zhuge Jin, even if his uncle Zhuge Xuan was alive, he might not be able to persuade Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang believes that although Jiangdong has the Yangtze River natural moat, it can guard one side, but it cannot compete with the world.

reason?

very simple!
The layout of Jiangdong is really too small...

To a certain extent, Zhuge Liang agreed with Cao Peng's statement that "the east and the west compete for supremacy, and the north and south compete for the throne".This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei capture Jingzhou and Xichuan, and why he worked so hard to conquer Guanzhong six times out of Qishan.From a strategic point of view, whether it is Xichuan or Jingchu, it can be used as a springboard, but it is not enough to serve as a foundation.If you really want to seize the world, you must occupy Guanzhong.

Without him, the resources in the south are really too few!
Just imagine, the combined population of Jiangdong plus Jingzhou, including Xichuan, is only comparable to that of the north.

Relying on the natural moat of the great river, it can only be settled in a corner.

A few days ago, Zhuge Liang crossed the river to lobby Soochow, and even fought against the Confucians, which can be called infinite scenery.But Zhuge Liang also knew that the result of doing so would be to be able to tell Sun Quan his point of view, but at the same time, it would also offend most people in Soochow.

In history, Zhuge Liang fought against the Confucians, and Huang Gai came forward to introduce him.

But now?

Due to Cao Cao's restraint, not only did he not intend to send troops to Jiangdong, but he greatly appeased him, which weakened the sense of crisis in Jiangdong.

Coupled with the visits of Xun Yan and others, Jiangdong people also felt at ease.

Generals are not afraid of death, but it does not mean they will be reckless.If the Yangtze River is used for water warfare, Jiangdong will not be afraid of Cao Cao.But it is not a good idea to abandon the strengths and take the weaknesses and land in Jingchu and Cao Cao land battles.Without the support of generals, although Zhuge Liang's reputation is resounding, he is weak after all.Even with the help of Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang's situation did not change much.

Today, Lu Su brought Zhuge Liang to visit Sun Quan.

Unexpectedly, Sun Quan was busy receiving Kuai Yue and discussing the matter of becoming the Grand Sima...

As a result, Zhuge Liang's position became even more awkward.After staying in Wuhou's residence for a while, he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

"Brother, don't worry, Liang is not discouraged.

Just sigh, no one in Jiangdong is aware of the current crisis... Zijing, if this continues, I'm afraid that when Uncle Liu dies, Jiangdong will also be destroyed.Marquis Wu doesn't know the seriousness, and he is complacent about the emptiness of the great Sima, which is definitely not a good deed, definitely not a good deed. "

Lu Su showed embarrassment.

"Kong Ming, be careful!"

"I……"

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that this was not Changsha, but Jiangdong.

What I said just now is a bit too much!But it is also understandable that Zhuge Liang is not yet in his thirties, and after being hit repeatedly, he is inevitably a little anxious.He bowed his hands and apologized to Lu Su.Lu Su smiled slightly, saying that he would not mind Zhuge Liang's words just now.

"Kong Ming's words just now, although a bit exaggerated, are not without reason.

My lips are dead and my teeth are cold, why don't I understand?However, old Cao Cao was cunning and suddenly withdrew his troops.This lure made Jiangdong lose his heart.However, Marquis Wu is not a mediocre master, so he must be aware of it, but he still can't make up his mind for a while... If Marquis Wu is to make a decision, it may not be enough to rely on you and me alone.Kong Ming, you and I need to visit another person, as long as this person comes forward, it is impossible to make Marquis Wu change his mind. "

Zhuge Jin was taken aback when he heard this, and then came to his senses, "Could it be him who Zijing said?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Su said: "In the past, Bo Fu passed away. Before he died, there was a saying 'Ask Zhang Zhao if you are not sure about internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you are not sure about foreign affairs'. Now that Cao Cao's army is approaching, it is a foreign matter. After all, Zibu is old, and he is a little less than before. Guo Yi. But Gong Jin is still there, and I think I know the seriousness in my heart."

"So, shall I take Kong Ming to Chaisang?"

"Well, that's fine!"

The three of them discussed countermeasures as they walked.

But before he got home, he saw a retainer coming in a hurry.

"Master, I just got the news that Governor Zhou has left Chaisang and is on his way back."

Lu Su was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Kong Ming, it seems that Gong Jin has also got the news... Since he came back, he must persuade Wu Hou. In this way, you will go to Wucheng with Ziyu tomorrow morning. Block Gongjin. When the time comes to explain the interests to him, Marquis Wu will be able to make a decision. I will stay in Wujun to stabilize the situation for you. If there is any change, I will notify you immediately."

Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang glanced at him and nodded in response.

"So, I'll go back to the station to prepare first."

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and said goodbye, and hurried back to the official post.

Zhou Yu is back!
Presumably there is a turning point for this matter...

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the blurred shadow in the mirror, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a look of loneliness flashed across his handsome face.

I didn't expect Cao Cao to have such great restraint.

After capturing Jingchu, facing such a huge temptation from Jiangdong, he refused to send troops to conquer.

This person is really a hero!
Nothing happened all night, Zhuge Liang got up early the next day, changed his clothes, and was about to go out.Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin hurried into the post house.After seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin hurried forward and grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand, "Kong Ming, something is wrong!"

"Brother, what happened, that you are so flustered?"

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Cao Cao..." Zhuge Jin finally took a breath and stammered, "Cao Cao, he has sent troops!"
