Lu Yi advised: "This young man has little knowledge and doesn't know who Hongyan is, but he often hears stories about King Goujian of Yue in Jiangdong. My master's talent is several times better than that of Goujian. If he can endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, he will eventually be able to make great achievements again."
"Rebuild your achievements?" Sun Quan looked back, was stunned for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Gou Jian has Fan Li and his old troops to help him, and the people miss their homeland, so they can survive in desperate situations. Now that my reputation has been ruined, and everyone has betrayed me, what can I rely on?"
Lu Yiyan said: "Although the villain does not understand the art of running a country, he does know a little about running an industry. Losing both sides and losing all money is not the way to run a business. Liu Qi has always shown his kindness to others. If he wants to take Jiangdong all, he will definitely not do harm. My lord, we can negotiate with you on this basis, and Liu Qi will probably weigh the pros and cons."
"Oh?" Sun Quan did not expect that Lu Yi could express such true knowledge and insight, and asked, "In your opinion, what should Liu Qi and I talk about?"
Lu Yi shook his head and laughed dryly: "This villain really doesn't know. He only knows how to stop losses in time and wait for the opportunity to make money."
"Reprint the copy?" Sun Quan's eyes gleamed slightly, he glanced at Wu Guotai's body and fell into deep thought.
Unconsciously, it was already noon. Sun Shangxiang ordered the maid to bring food. Sun Quan ordered Lu Yi to stop him and said in a cold voice: "Ask Liu Qi to come see me."
Lu Yi hurriedly advised: "My lord, remember to be patient. I will go and invite General Liu."
After asking Sun Quan for instructions, Lu Yi quickly came to see Liu Qi and reported: "As the general expected, Sun Quan has no will to die. Although he is ambitious, he has no one to help him and is at a loss."
Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "If this happens, you will be in charge of all maritime trade in the future."
"Thank you, General!" Lu Yi was overjoyed. Since cooperating with Fengxiang, he has made a lot of money.
He now only invests in a few large ships that come from the sea every month, and already earns more than 100,000 yuan a month. If he manages the entire maritime fleet in the future, wouldn't he be rich enough to rival the country?
The two came to the Buddhist temple and saw Mu Ran sitting in front of the Tai Ling of the Wu Kingdom. They sighed softly: "The Duke is the hero of the world and the master of heroic strategies. However, he is trapped in the situation. If this hadn't happened, he would have looked down on the world from Jiangdong and he would have been famous in history. Respected by future generations.”
"Shu Zian dares to deceive me?" Sun Quan suddenly raised his head and said coldly: "I don't want Jiangdong's foundation to be destroyed by your hands. Since ancient times, I have been a king and a loser, so why bother with cold words?"
"This is a slanderous statement!" Liu Qi sat across from him and said with emotion: "In the past, each of us was planning for a great cause. There is no need to say more about the merits and demerits, but have you ever thought about the future?"
When Sun Quan saw that Liu Qi really wanted to negotiate terms with him, he felt more confident. He sneered coldly: "A man's success is about to fail and he will die, so why bother talking?"
"Don't you hear that heroes don't ask where they come from?" Liu Qi shook his head and said: "Although my father-in-law was born in the wrong way, he was gifted by China and was smart and martial. It would be a pity if he fell like this. I couldn't control what happened in the past, so what happens in the future? Show off your talents?"
Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Liu Boxei, if you want to serve me, you are just daydreaming!"
Liu Qi pointed at Wu Guotai's body and said slowly: "Your Excellency, you don't want the affairs of your court to be exposed to the world, right?"
…
Appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the alliance between Sun and Liu was originally a major event in Jiangdong, but unexpectedly it turned into a funeral in the blink of an eye.
Wu Guotai died of illness and Sun Quan was seriously injured. He wanted to mourn for the prefect and left his political affairs to Liu Qi for the time being. When the news came out, there was an uproar in Jiangdong.
If Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, etc. had not personally assisted the directors in the government office, they would all have believed that Liu Qi was deliberately seeking power.
Some people praised Liu Qi for his generous help, while others secretly scolded Sun Quan for being stupid and ignorant. This move was more childish than Liu Zhang welcoming Liu Qi to Shu. He had learned from the past and dared to entrust Liu Qi with important matters.
The Tailing Hall of Wu State was located in Ganlu Temple. Sun Quan personally sent letters to the Sun family's descendants everywhere, ordering them to rush to Jianye as soon as possible to pay filial piety and keep vigil.
When the envoy arrived at Chaisang, Sun Fu was shocked when he heard the report and urgently asked his brother Sun Bi to discuss it. Others did not know the inside story, but his two brothers knew that there must be something fishy about the matter.
Sun Fu said: "The Marquis of Wu deceived Liu Qi to cross the river in order to seize Jingzhou. This was the plan of the Taiguo. Now that the Taiguo has died of illness, Liu Qi is in charge of everything in Jiangdong. There must be fraud in it. Could it be that the Marquis of Wu has been held hostage?"
Sun Ben frowned and said: "This is the hinterland of Jiangdong. How could Liu Qi dare to act rashly? Although I don't know what happened in Ganlu Temple, there is a handwritten letter from the Marquis of Wu here. Zhang Zhao and others all respect Liu Qi and have not complained at all. There must be something fishy about this matter. Today In the name of paying filial piety, you summoned the Sun family's children to Jianye, are you planning to catch us all in one go?"
Sun Fu looked solemn: "I am worried about this matter. If the Sun family's foundation is taken away by Liu Qi, how can we let him go?"
Sun Ben sighed and said: "In my opinion, Liu Qi has great intentions and has the intention of harming us. When you and I first came to Yuzhang, we have not established our grace and power. If we resist openly, we may not be able to catch him."
Sun Fu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "For the current plan, we must unite all the brothers immediately to expose Liu Qi's conspiracy, avenge the prince, save Wu Hou and revive his family business."
Sun Ben thought for a moment and said: "What the wise brother said is absolutely true. The second uncle's family is all plotted by Liu Qi. We can only discuss with the third uncle's family. Fortunately, Sun Yu is in charge of Lujiang and Sun Hao is in charge of Wu County. Only these two If you and my brother work together, the three counties will raise their troops and fight back to Jianye, and it will be easy to capture Liu Qi."
Sun Fu shook his head and said, "Liu Qi was on guard when he came. Zhang Fei commanded 50,000 troops and was eyeing Jiangxia. We must be on guard. With just a few of my brothers, it may be difficult to accomplish anything."
Sun Bi said: "My dear brother, do you want to contact the generals in Huainan? I'm afraid that Huang Gai and others are foolish and loyal. They will not respond to the orders of the generals of Wuhou. The water far away cannot save the fire near."
Sun Fu chuckled and said, "Brother, don't forget that you have a son-in-law!"
Sun Ben was startled, and then he was shocked and said: "You mean... to unite with Cao Wei?"
Sun Fu nodded and said: "Jiangdong is in urgent need. You and I can't stand alone. If Liu Qi really takes power, how can we have a foothold? Now Sun Cao is shaking hands to negotiate peace, why not ask Cao Pi to send troops to help? To take a step back, even if Jiangdong is not protected , and cannot be left to Liu Qi. If the Cao family wins the world, you and I will be relatives of the emperor, and with the merit of dedicating soil, our name will be passed down to future generations!"
Sun Ben suddenly woke up and nodded: "As long as you persuade Sun Yu to raise troops, Cao's army can enter the Lujiang River, respond to you and me from the north and south, cut off Liu Qi's return, and trap him to death in the east of the river. It will be a great achievement."
Sun Fu said: "It can't be delayed. My elder brother immediately sent someone to contact me, and my younger brother sent a general to see Sun Hao and Bu Kuaiji."
Sun Ben wondered: "Bu Zishan has no friendship with us, so why should we look for him?"
Sun Fu sneered and said: "Brother, don't forget the plan of Wu Hou before his departure. He told us to wait for the surprise attack on Nanjun, and Bu Zhi will send troops from Kuaiji to capture Jiaozhi. His sister has been engaged to Wu Hou. If he knows the news, he will definitely raise troops to help."
When Sun Ben heard the words, he became energetic. He suddenly rolled his eyes, tugged on his beard and chuckled: "Among the counties south of the Yangtze River, only Danyang is not from my clan. However, there is a rebellion in Shanyue and I have no time to take care of myself. The rest will respond to us. If this goes well, You and I are the masters of Jiangdong, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"Zhongmou is still too young after all!" Sun Fu sighed with emotion, clasping his fists and saying: "Among the clan members, brother Tui has the highest prestige. If Liu Qi can be captured and killed, he will surely be powerful in the world, and Wu Hou will take his place. Who dares to disobey? "
Sun Ben laughed proudly, and the two discussed carefully, and then went their separate ways, preparing to raise troops to besiege Jianye.
