The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 598 597 The Burning Yangtze River (37)

After Sun Quan heard Xiang Lang's words, he immediately fell into deep thought. If he didn't have enough ability to control Zhang Fei, it would be counterproductive.As Xiang Lang said, Zhang Fei is a double-edged sword. If he uses it well, he is a sharp sword in his own hand. If he uses it badly, he will hurt himself instead.

Zhang Fei has an open-minded personality, but has a bad temper. He is a famous madman. After thinking about it, Sun Quan felt that he might not be the material to control Zhang Fei.

But Sun Quan couldn't admit it in public, after all, it was a matter of face.So Sun Quan pretended to be angry and said, "Mr. Xiang, could it be that you look down on me and think I don't have this ability?"

Xiang Lang said: "General Sun, don't get angry. I'm just a reminder to General Sun. Although Zhang Fei is extremely brave, he has a bad temper and is often arrogant. Such a person is only suitable for the battlefield, but he can't help it." It is not suitable to stay around. Moreover, people like Zhang Fei are often used to being free and loose. Once they are restrained, they may feel like a kind of restraint. After all, Nanchang is the place where General Sun lives. The security is strict and the laws are strict. When Zhang Fei arrived in Nanchang, he might be willing to accept General Sun's restraint at the beginning, but after a long time, he would feel disgusted, and instead he would vent his anger on the general. With his ability, he caused a bloody storm in Nanchang city, not for nothing Possibly. Instead of keeping this trouble around, it is better to put him far away. Doesn’t he want to enter Sichuan? Why don’t General Sun let him enter Sichuan? Anyway, he doesn’t need to pay money or food. He can do whatever he wants, other than that In addition, it can also attract part of Zhang Yan's attention, which will reduce some of the pressure on General Sun. If Zhang Fei is allowed to return to Nanchang, once Zhang Yan finds out, he will definitely mobilize all the soldiers and horses to besiege Jiangdong. Zhang Fei, who has never been eliminated."

After Sun Quan heard this, he kept thinking in his heart, and felt that what Xiang Lang said was not unreasonable.However, he always felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, Sun Quan finally understood. If he really did what Xiang Lang said, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to letting Zhang Fei fend for himself.

"Mr. Xiang, what you said made me suddenly understand. However, Mr. Xiang's suggestion seems to have other meanings mixed in, right?" Sun Quan said suddenly.

Xiang Lang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "General Sun really has good eyesight. Zhang Fei kidnapped my family and forced me to come to Nanchang with the whole family's life as a threat. This is undoubtedly humiliating me. It is a great shame, once it gets out, I will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world. Although Zhang Fei has extraordinary force, he is only a reckless man after all. No shortage, since Zhang Fei wants to seek death by himself, let him go. If the general forcibly recalls him to Nanchang, he will have resentment in his heart, which will definitely be detrimental to the general in the future. Although Xiang has selfish intentions, everything is still It's all for the general's sake, and I hope the general will think twice."

Sun Quan said: "Let me think about it again. Mr. Xiang must have worked so hard to come all the way. I've already ordered someone to prepare a banquet. Today we won't go home until we're drunk!"

Xiang Lang said: "I appreciate General Sun's kindness, but Xiang never drinks alcohol, I'm afraid it will spoil General Sun's interest..."

"In this case, let's replace wine with tea."

Sun Quan first asked Peng Tuo to take Xiang Lang to the guest room to rest, and then entertained Xiang Lang at noon, while he was alone in the hall, thinking about what Xiang Lang said.Regarding Zhang Fei, should he go back to Nanchang and listen to him by his side, or let Zhang Fei lead the remnant army to attack Yizhou.

Sun Quan thought about it for more than half an hour, but he still couldn't come up with a reason. His heart was very conflicted, and he didn't know what to do.Zhang Fei is famous as the enemy of thousands of people. He really wanted to keep Zhang Fei by his side, but what Xiang Lang said made Sun Quan a little scared. If Zhang Fei really caused trouble, who in Nanchang could be the one Zhang Fei's opponent?

Sun Quan thought about it, but he couldn't decide to pay attention. If Zhou Yu and Lu Fan were here, he could discuss with them.However, Zhou Yu was stationed in Chaisang, and Lu Fan hadn't returned since he went to Chaisang last time. Zhou Yu stayed in Chaisang to help him with military affairs. There are very few people around Sun Quan who can discuss important matters.

Sun Quan originally wanted to discuss with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others, but then he thought about it, these three people are veterans from Jiangdong, when he used Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, these three people were quite critical, if he is with them now In deliberations, opinions are definitely one-sided.However, Sun Jing, Zhu Zhi and other veteran officials did not have much foresight. After much deliberation, Sun Quan finally decided to go to his mother.

Sun Quan's mother's surname is Wu, and everyone calls her Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu is a lady with both talent and appearance. Since she married Sun Jian, her husband was Sun Ce, her second child was Sun Quan, her second child was Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, and finally she was born again. He gave birth to a daughter, Sun Shangxiang.Mrs. Wu had a rough life. She lost her father in her early years and her husband in her middle age. In her old age, Sun Ce and Sun Yi died one after another. Under the grief, she was already gray-haired and riddled with various diseases. Not far away.

Although Mrs. Wu had a rough life, her resourcefulness was not lost to anyone. When she married Sun Jian in her early years, she became Sun Jian's virtuous wife. After Sun Jian died, she assisted her son Sun Ce to start Jiangdong Foundation.After Sun Ce's death, Mrs. Wu suffered a serious blow and her health deteriorated, so she gradually stopped participating in political affairs.Therefore, after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, Mrs. Wu did not interfere too much.

But in Sun Quan's heart, his mother was a female military adviser. When Jiangdong was going through hardships, it was his mother who gave him advice to successfully defeat Chen Deng's attack.

In addition, his mother also helped him a lot in other ways, which benefited him a lot.

Sun Quan went straight to the door of his mother's room. As soon as he approached, he smelled the strong smell of herbs coming out of it, which was very pungent. At this moment, his brother Sun Kuang came out with a bowl of medicine. .

"Fourth brother, is mother getting better?" Sun Quan asked with concern.

Sun Kuang shook his head, his face was a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "Not only did it not get better, but it got worse."

"What kind of bullshit doctors! Didn't they say they are famous doctors in the Sanwu area? Why can't they even cure my mother?" Sun Quan said angrily, "Give them another day, if they can't cure my mother's illness, tomorrow all of them will die." Behead!"

Sun Kuangdao: "Second brother, mother knew that you have a bad temper, so she told me early on, and let me tell you that no matter whether his illness can be cured or not, don't embarrass those doctors."

Sun Quan frowned, waved his hand at Sun Kuang, and said, "Go and do your work, I have my own measure. I'll go and see my mother!"

After saying this, Sun Quan pushed open the door of the room and walked into the room. Seeing his mother lying on the sick bed, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Zhongmou, are you here? Come here and let me see." Mrs. Wu said immediately when she saw Sun Quan coming in from the door.

Sun Quan said "Here", then walked to the side of the bed, reached out and grabbed Mrs. Wu's hand, and said with a pretend smile: "Mother, I have sent people to invite the genius doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji separately. Whoever comes between the two will be able to cure my mother's illness, and by then, my mother will definitely live to be a hundred years old...oh no, it should be two hundred years old..."

Although Mrs. Wu is bedridden, she is in a good state of mind. Her lungs and heart are not good, and she often suffers from severe pain, but her other functions are sound, with hearing and eyesight. As long as there is no angina pain, she is no different from a normal person. What a difference.

Her complexion is very good today. She has just taken the medicine and her mind is still clear.

Mrs. Wu was very pleased when she heard what Sun Quan said, she patted Sun Quan's hand lightly, and said with a smile on her face: "Zhongmou, I know my own illness. It won't be long, you don't need to say those words of comfort to me. Hua Tuo has traveled all over the world, and his whereabouts are erratic. The genius doctor Zhang Ji is in Nanyang again. Now Nanyang has been reduced to Zhang Yan's territory. Too possible. I have lived so many years, even if I die, I am satisfied. But what I am most worried about is your sister Shangxiang. She is still young and doesn't understand anything. You will need to take care of her in the future. yes."

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings, and I will definitely choose a husband-in-law for Shang Xiang who is both talented and beautiful..."

Sun Quan said something to comfort Mrs. Wu, which made Mrs. Wu very comfortable psychologically.After she finished listening, she nodded and said, "With your words, I feel relieved. Zhongmou, if you have anything, just say it. While I'm still awake, I might be able to give you some suggestion……"

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, the mother is the mother, so he could see through the purpose of his visit at a glance.

"Mother, how do you know that the child is asking for something?" Sun Quan asked.

Mrs. Wu said: "Mother, I watched you grow up. How can I not know what is going on in your mind? Now that Jiangdong is in crisis, you are busy enough to deal with government affairs. I don't have time to come to my place at all. You came here suddenly today, you must have encountered something that can't be solved. "

Sun Quan said: "My mother still understands me. Now I really have one thing that bothers me. I don't know what to do!"

"Tell me about it!" Mrs. Wu said.

Sun Quan then expressed his doubts, and also told Mrs. Wu what Xiang Lang had said.

After Mrs. Wu listened, she thought for a while and asked, "Zhongmou, although Zhang Fei is excellent in martial arts, he is not of one mind with our Sun family after all. His purpose is to use Sun's power to avenge Liu Bei, not at all. Sincerely surrender to my Sun family. You are right to reuse Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. What is wrong is that you are too dependent on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and you have forgotten how our Sun family’s foundation was established. If there is no Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang are people who will never leave, life and death, your elder brother will definitely not achieve such an achievement. If it were your elder brother, guess what he would do?"

Sun Quan frowned, savored Mrs. Wu's words carefully, and said, "Mother, I understand, I think I know what to do."

Mrs. Wu said: "It's good to know. Remember, our Sun family can have today, not because of the strength of our Sun family alone, but because of the help of countless people who are loyal to the Sun family. No matter when, you can't Forget your origin, do you understand?"

Sun Quan nodded heavily, and said, "Mother, I understand, you should rest well, I'll go and deal with this matter before I come to accompany you!"

"Go and get busy with your business. You are busy with business. I don't want to take up too much of your time. It is enough to have your brother here to take care of me. You just need to lead Jiangdong well and get through the crisis. Keeping Jiangdong is your responsibility." Mother, and father and brother's greatest gift, do you know?" Mrs. Wu said earnestly.

Sun Quan nodded and said: "Mother, I know, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to guard Jiangdong and the foundation left to me by my father and brother!"
