The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 389 General Chen Mu
Tai Shici and others returned to meet the army led by Yan Xing and Yan Rou, but they did not see other troops. After asking, Tai Shici found out that Sun Quan had returned to Jiangling City with the army, and was planning to discuss Jiang Xia's plan to cooperate with Zhou Yu. Conquer Jiang Xia in one fell swoop, drive Zhang Fei out, or kill him directly.

For Zhang Fei, who is rude and loyal to Liu Bei, even if Zhang Fei is unstoppable, Sun Quan has no idea, the only thing he will do is to kill him quickly.

The reason why Yan Xing and Yan Rou appeared here was because the lord Sun Quan was not worried about Tai Shici and others, so he led his troops to check the situation.

After hearing this, Tai Shici was a little ashamed, but he didn't say much, and said that he had encountered reinforcements from the enemy, so he came back.

Yan Xing saw something on Tai Shici's face, he hesitated and asked, "General, can you tell me who is Liu Bei's reinforcements you met?"

In fact, Yan Xing still has a word in his heart that he didn't say, that is, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you, Tai Shici, will kill a few more Liu Bei generals, why did you come back in such a disheveled manner?
Yan Rou also looked over curiously, the meaning was self-evident, and she also wanted to know who Liu Bei's reinforcements were.

Tai Shici had no choice but to say, "I met Liu Bei's general Pei Feng and Pei Yuanqing. This person is really powerful. I couldn't win the battle with him, so I had no choice but to withdraw!"

"Pei Feng, Pei Yuanqing? Can't even the general win? I never thought that there was such a character in Liu Bei's army. I thought it was just Guan Zhang Zhao. I have heard of this person's name occasionally, but I never took it to heart. I thought it was just Ordinary people!" Yan Xing said in surprise.

He was defeated by Li Bu in Xiliang, so he joined Soochow. He had never fought against Pei Feng, so he didn't know about Pei Feng.

On the other hand, Yan Rou who was next to her was startled, and said, "It's Pei Feng? This person is very skilled!"

Tai Shici was surprised and said, "The general recognizes Pei Feng?"

Yan Rou nodded and sighed, "I used to be under the command of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Liu Bei sent Pei Feng to fight for Hanzhong. I fought with him and suffered a lot at his hands. It's worth not mentioning this!"

Tai Shici understood the confusion, and said helplessly, "Okay, let's go back first, and make plans after seeing the lord!"

Yan Rou looked around Taishi Ci, found something, and asked, "General Taishi, where did General Zhou Tai go?"

Tai Shici was startled, and then said sadly, "General Zhou Tai was killed in battle, and he was killed by Pei Feng's sneak attack. I'm really aggrieved!"

"What? Killed by Pei Feng's surprise attack?" Yan Xing and Yan Rou were shocked, but quickly recovered. After all, they did not have a deep relationship with the original generals of Soochow, and even had some inexplicable estrangement.

And Yan Rou was even a little snickering, gloating, he wished that the original generals of Soochow would die a little more, so that he could take their place and be reused by Sun Quan.

Said something sad, so Tai Shici didn't want to say more, everyone kept silent, and returned to Jiangling City together.

Tai Shici and others immediately had an audience with the lord Sun Quan, and told about Zhou Tai's death in battle.

Sun Quan was already numb, he hadn't recovered from Lu Meng's death, and now Zhou Tai, who used to protect him through life and death, was also killed, which made Sun Quan feel like it was getting dark.

He roared in his heart, how could this be possible, and he was still chasing after the victory, how could Zhou Tai die in battle?What exactly happened?
Sun Quan immediately asked Tai Shici the truth, and Tai Shici had no choice but to tell Sun Quan what had happened.

After Sun Quan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Pei Feng, it's you again, if I don't kill you, I will not give up!"

At this time, the counselor Lu Fan stood up and persuaded Sun Quan, "My lord, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Since General Zhou Tai was unfortunately killed in battle, my lord must cheer up. If you are discouraged, how can you avenge the two generals Zhou Tai and Lu Meng?" ?So please don’t be overly sad, my lord, the overall situation is the most important thing at this moment!”

This time, Sun Quan personally brought out only two counselors, one was Lu Fan and the other was Xu Yi.

Originally wanted to take Lu Su to the expedition, but he was worried about his family, so he asked Lu Su to guard Jiangdong.

Only then did he bring out the trustworthy Lu Fan. Lu Fan was originally an effective minister of his elder brother Sun Ce. When his elder brother Sun Ce was still under the command of Yuan Shu in Shouchun, Lu Fan took refuge in Shouchun and met Sun Ce by chance. He was extraordinary, so he brought hundreds of family members to join Sun Ce, which helped Sun Ce a lot at that time.

At that time, Sun Ce had no soldiers, so Lu Fan's hundreds of family members helped Sun Ce a lot.

Lu Fan is rich because he married a rich lady, but the real reason why Sun Quan still uses Lu Fan is that Lu Fan is very talented and upright.

Helped Sun Ce to deal with many things, and recruited experts to rescue Sun Ce and Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu.

Moreover, there was an interesting incident between Sun Quan and Lu Fan, which Sun Quan still remembers vividly. This happened when he was young.

When Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, Lu Fan was asked to manage the finances. Sun Quan was young at the time and once asked Lu Fan for personal matters.

When Sun Quan represented Yang Xianchang, he used money for his own personal use. Every time Sun Ce checked the accounts, it was thanks to Cao Zhou Gu who helped Sun Quan write false accounts, so that he was not blamed.

Sun Quan was very happy at the time. After he took charge of Jiangdong, he felt that Lu Fan was more loyal, so he trusted him very much, and thought that Zhou Gu was cheating people and making false accounts, so he didn't use him.

Another thing is that Sun Quan went out for the first time. At that time, a rebellious party suddenly appeared in Wu County, named Chen Yu, who called himself the prefect of Wu County, and recruited troops wantonly, causing chaos in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan had just taken over the position of his elder brother. In order to let the ministers know his ability, he decided to wipe out this rebellious party himself.

He only brought Lu Fan, a counselor, and a few partial generals, and no general followed him, so as not to be said to be a formality, it was all handled by the general.

After fighting Chen Yu, Sun Quan suffered a loss and realized that Chen Yu was not easy to deal with, and there was also a general under Chen Yu's tent, Chen Mu, who was very powerful.

Chen Mu killed several generals under Sun Quan's command, so that Sun Quan could not see the hope of victory, but Lu Fan came up with a plan, which was to drive a wedge between Chen Mu and Chen Yu, so that they could kill each other and turn each other into enemies.

This strategy was quite successful, Chen Yu was very suspicious, not only did not trust Chen Mu, but also wanted to kill Chen Mu, Chen Mu had no choice but to turn against Sun Quan and beheaded Chen Yu.

In this way, Sun Quan not only achieved his goal, put down the riot in Wu County, but also luckily recruited a general Chen Mu.

But because he was recruited by aliens, Sun Quan did not reuse him immediately, but let him serve as his guard general.

This position is good or bad, it is bad because there is no chance to lead troops to fight independently, and it is good because staying by Sun Quan's side is equivalent to being Sun Quan's close minister and Sun Quan's trusted general, so Chen Mu Even if you don't want to, you have nothing to say.

Seeing Lu Fan reminding himself, Sun Quan's mentality improved a bit, and he said, "Don't worry, sir, I haven't lost my mind yet, and I can distinguish which is more important."

Only then did Lu Fan reassure himself and said, "My lord, since General Zhou Tai has died in battle, you cannot be without someone to protect you. In my opinion, Chen Mu can replace General Zhou Tai to protect the lord."

Chen Mu has always been the deputy commander of the guards, under Zhou Tai, so Lu Fan's meaning is self-evident.

Sun Quan nodded and sighed, "It is indeed time for him to become a full-time member. He has followed me for so long, and his loyalty can be seen."

Immediately, Sun Quan ordered, "Come here, tell General Chen Mu!"

Chen Mu was leading people to guard outside the main hall, when he heard the call, he immediately walked into the main hall respectfully, knelt down on one knee, and said, "My lord!"

Sun Quan nodded and said, "From today onwards, you will be promoted to Commander of the Guards, no longer the Deputy Commander!"

Chen Mu was startled, and said, "Then General Zhou Tai???"

"General Zhou Tai was killed just now!" Sun Quan said sadly.

Chen Mu was taken aback and didn't dare to speak anymore, "I take orders!"
