Chapter 2654: In the three-party game between Qin, Chu and Wu, Sun Bofu was attacked from both sides.
"My lord, weren't you caught by that thief Sun Ce? How did you escape?"
Zhou Tai asked anxiously, and was about to step forward to check, but was stopped by Sima Yi.
"Wait a minute, my lord was secretly imprisoned by Sun Ce. It is impossible for him to escape. This person is probably pretending." Sima Yi analyzed calmly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone also calmed down.
Yes, Sun Quan has already fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, how could he escape so easily? The person in front of him is probably an impostor.
Seeing that no one believed his identity, Sun Quan said with a dark face: "I am Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou."
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw that Sun Quan's voice and demeanor were exactly the same as their lord's.
However, Xie Xuan stepped forward and stopped Sun Quan: "I'm offended. Let's check first to see if it's a disguise."
After saying that, Xie Xuan started to attack Sun Quan. Although Sun Quan was a little dissatisfied, in order to prove his identity, he could only let Xie Xuan inspect him honestly.
Xie Xuan rubbed Sun Quan's face so hard that the skin was almost broken. He only stopped after he was sure it was not a disguise.
But after confirming that the man in front of them was really Sun Quan, Sima Yi and others became even more confused. How did Sun Quan escape?
There's no way it was Sun Ce who released it, right?
In the face of everyone's questioning, Sun Quan became silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to explain, but that he didn't know how to explain.
After Sun Quan was caught by Sun Ce, he was secretly imprisoned, and was also tortured in prison, suffering physical and mental torture.
Sun Quan knew that his elder brother was venting his anger by torturing him like this. Just when he thought he would never see the sun outside again, he did not expect that two great masters were suddenly killed in the prison, claiming to be Lu Chunyang and Lu Chunyang of the Taiqing Sect respectively. Confucian Meng Ke.
Lu Chunyang and Meng Ke killed all the jailers in the prison without saying a word. After rescuing Sun Quan from the palace, they explained that they couldn't stand Sun Ce's way of usurping his younger brother's position. For the safety of the people of Jiangdong, they Only then did he decide to take the risk and come to rescue him.
After the two great masters rescued Sun Quan, they took him to the camp in the west of the city, and then they no longer cared about Sun Quan's life or death.
After Sun Quan walked into the camp, he realized that he was not dreaming. He had really escaped from the sea of fire. Then he came to see Sima Yi and others without thinking.
After being questioned by Sima Yi and others, Sun Quan realized how magical his experience was.
Naturally, Sun Quan didn't believe a word of what Lu Chunyang and Meng Ke said about Sun Ce's disdain for the safety of the people in Jiangdong.
Who doesn't know that Lu Chunyang served in Shu, Meng Ke was worshiped as a teacher by Liu Xiu, and Shu and Chu were allies, and the two best friends wore the same pants.
Could it be possible that the great master of Shu and Chu would risk the safety of the people of Wu to save him, the King of Wu? This is obviously impossible.
Sun Quan was not stupid. After thinking deeply, he roughly guessed that the two people would come to save him, and they were probably assigned by Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu had long wanted to annex the State of Wu. To this end, he placed and bought a large number of agents in the State of Wu. Even though most of them were destroyed by Sun Quan because of Sima Yi, he later re-placed and arranged them, so he could figure out that he was being Where is the secret being imprisoned?
Liu Xiu did not want Sun Ce to completely take charge of the Kingdom of Wu, so he sent two great masters to rescue him and create chaos for Sun Ce so that the Kingdom of Wu could not complete the unification. In this way, Liu Xiu would be able to attack the Kingdom of Wu with much less resistance.
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more likely it became, which made him feel extremely complicated. Liu Xiu, whom he regarded as his mortal enemy, saved him, but his purpose was to use him to split the country of Wu.
Although Sun Quan's ambitions were great and his desire for power was heavy, his desire to strengthen the State of Wu was genuine, but he never thought that he, the King of Wu, would one day become a tool used by Liu Xiu to deal with the State of Wu.
Although Sun Quan knew that Liu Xiu had no good intentions in rescuing him, his eldest brother must have won over many people during the short period of time he was imprisoned, and he and his eldest brother Sun Ce could no longer coexist.
Sun Quan neither wants to die nor lose his position as King of Wu, so he must kill Sun Ce and regain power, so he might as well cooperate with Liu Xiu first and save his life before we can talk about the great cause.
Although Sun Quan knew that it was Liu Xiu's people who saved him, he couldn't tell his subordinates about it. After all, Liu Xiu's purpose of saving him was to split Soochow. If the truth is told, God knows what his subordinates would think. ?
If he encountered a single-minded person who simply turned to Sun Ce in order to ensure the safety of Wu State, or even tied him up and handed him over to Sun Ce, then Sun Quan would really have no place to cry.
What's more, Sima Yi, whose pseudonym was Zhong Da, was once a spy sent by Liu Xiu.
After figuring out the key, Sun Quan immediately explained: "After I was captured by Sun Ce's thieves, I was secretly imprisoned. The reason I was able to escape this time was because Sun Ce also had people from my side.
This person had to give in due to Sun Ce's lustful power. After pretending to submit to Sun Ce, he secretly inquired where the king was being imprisoned. After discovering it, he immediately launched a rescue, and then rescued the king. "
Hearing Sun Quan's words, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran and others showed surprise, but Sima Yi and Xie An frowned slightly.
Obviously, this excuse that Sun Quan made up at the last moment was okay for deceiving warriors like Zhou Tai and Zhu Ran, but it could not deceive the scheming and thoughtful Sima Yi and Xie An.
After all, Sun Ce would definitely not let too many people know the secret of the place where Sun Quan was imprisoned, and the guards must be his close confidants. There was no way that the surrendered general who had just taken refuge in the past would have access to such secrets.
Although both Sima Yi and Xie An knew that Sun Quan was lying, they had no intention of exposing Sun Quan.
In Xie An's view, as long as Sun Quan is real, no matter what means he uses to come back, it actually doesn't matter to him.
As for Sima Yi, he knew that Liu Xiu did not send anyone to rescue Sun Quan, so he thought that Sun Quan had other back-ups. However, he did not know about it at all, which means that Sun Quan was still on guard against him.
When he thought that after Sun Quan was captured, he secretly passed information to Liu Xiu, Sima Yi was also worried that if he talked too much, Sun Quan would settle the score once he found out, so naturally he did not dare to talk too much.
Seeing that everyone believed his words, Sun Jian was relieved and asked quickly: "What happened after I was captured? Please tell me everything immediately."
After hearing this, Sima Yi, Xie An and others looked at each other, and then told Sun Quan the important ones.
When he learned that Sun Ce had taken control of most of Jianye's troops and had sent Sun Wu and Wu Zixu with their own edicts to take over the military power in Lujiang and Yuzhang, Sun Quan's face suddenly turned pale.
Since Lujiang and Yuzhang bordered Chu, wars often broke out, so half of Wu's army was stationed here.
In addition, Sun Wu's prestige in the army was too high, and the garrisons in Lujiang and Yuzhang were all subordinates of Sun Wu.
If Sun Wu holds the edict with the seal of King Wu and goes to take over the military power in Yuzhang and Lujiang, he will definitely not encounter much resistance, and most of the generals in the army will not oppose him.
In other words, most of the military power of Wu State is now in the hands of Sun Ce.
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Quan looked depressed and defeated, and said bitterly: "It's too late, it's over."
Originally, Sun Quan thought that only two and a half days had passed since he was arrested and imprisoned, and now he had regained his freedom and escaped.
In such a short period of time, no matter how extraordinary Sun Ce's methods were, it was impossible to completely control Wu in just three days.
Therefore, as long as he can regain his freedom and then issue a royal summons to spread the decree throughout the country and declare Sun Ce to be a traitor, he might be able to reverse the situation.
But what Sun Quan never expected was that Sun Ce's moves were aimed at his own vital points. In just three days, he controlled most of the military power of the Wu Kingdom. How could he compete with him?
Sima Yi saw what Sun Quan was thinking, so he added: "My lord, the top priority is to escape from Jianye as soon as possible. Sun Ce will soon find out that my lord has escaped, and will personally lead an army to capture my lord. If he doesn't leave now, say Maybe I won’t be able to leave.
Moreover, now that Sun Ce has become successful in Jianye, if he continues to stay in Jianye, he will only be cannibalized by Sun Ce. Only by escaping from Jianye will he have a chance to survive. "
Sima Yi's words restored some confidence to Sun Quan, so he asked: "But where can I go after leaving Jianye?"
"Go to Wu County."
Sima Yi said categorically, and then analyzed unhurriedly: "Bu Zhi, the prefect of Wu County, is the lord's wife and brother, and he will definitely not fall to Sun Ce.
In addition, Gu Hui, the prefect of Kuaiji, Qian Liu, the prefect of Linhai, Xie Shi, the prefect of Dongyang, and Zheng Zhilong, the prefect of Yizhou, were all promoted by the Lord, and they will definitely stand by your side. "
Since the State of Wu completely occupied Yizhou Island, relocated the people for development, and then established Yizhou County, the State of Wu has changed from a land of nine counties to a country of ten counties.
The ten counties of Wu State are: Danyang, Yuzhang, Pengze, Poyang, Lujiang, Wujun, Kuaiji, Linhai, Dongyang, and Yizhou.
In the five counties of Danyang, Yuzhang, and Lujiang in the western part of the Wu Kingdom, although the aristocratic families were powerful, they were not able to dominate the world with one hand.
However, Wu Jun, Kuaiji and other Wujun counties in the east have been completely controlled by the aristocratic family due to Sun Quan's deliberate connivance.
Sun Quan's biggest support is the Jiangdong family, and the family's sphere of influence has not yet been controlled by Sun Ce.
So Sima Yi's intention was to let Sun Quan use the power of the family to fight against Sun Ce.
"Even if the military power of Lujiang and Yuzhang was taken away by Sun Ce, as long as Wujun, Kuaiji and other five counties are in his hands, the lord will have a chance to make a comeback.
Moreover, generals such as Pang Juan, Tian Ji, Han Qinhu, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Li Yang are still waiting and watching, and have not yet completely turned to Sun Ce.
As long as the lord goes to Wu County and spreads the decree to various places to expose Sun Ce's rebellious behavior, I believe that all the generals will support the lord in bringing order to the chaos. "
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Sun Quan's eyes glowed again.
Yes, what if Sun Ce occupied Jianye and took away most of Wu's military power?
The five counties in the eastern part of Wu State controlled by aristocratic families must be on his side. He has not yet been defeated. With the support of the Jiangdong aristocratic family, he may not be able to make a comeback in the future.
Moreover, since Liu Xiu sent people to rescue him, it means that he will definitely take action against Wu State, and he may send troops to attack Wu soon.
At that time, Liu Xiu was in the west and he was in the east. It was just right to carry out the strategy of driving away the tiger and swallowing the wolf, and let Sun Ce serve as his barrier to resist the Chu army. After Sun Ce and Liu Xiu fought to the death, he would step forward to clean up the mess.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan felt that he had a greater chance of winning.
"Brother, second brother, I don't want this either, but you forced all this."
Sun Quan's eyes were full of hatred, and he immediately ordered: "Zhou Tai, Xie An, and Zhu Ran obey the order."
"The last general is here." The three generals responded in unison.
"Before Sun Ce discovers that this king has escaped, immediately withdraw the whole army to Wu County. There must be no mistake."
"promise."
The Wu army, which was originally vaguely headed by Sima Yi, immediately became Sun Quan with the return of Sun Quan, and Sun Quan decided the fate of the 20,000 troops with a single order.
At the same time, Lu Chunyang and Meng Ke, whom Sun Quan spoke of, hid in a dark corner to observe after sending Sun Quan to the West Camp.
Not long after seeing Sun Quan enter the Xicheng camp, the 20,000 troops in the camp were preparing to leave. The two men immediately looked at each other and smiled, then took off the masks on their faces, revealing their original faces, which was none other than Dugu. Qiubai and Huang Shang.
"Now that Sun Quan has been rescued, the state of Wu will inevitably split. And the state of Chu knows that it will send troops to attack Wu. Naturally, it will have no spare power to support the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Wu, and intervene in the war in the Central Plains." Huang Shang stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.
Sun Quan thought that the person who rescued him was sent by Liu Xiu. Sima Yi thought that Sun Quan had left a backup plan to save himself. Liu Xiu thought that Sun Quan was rescued by Sima Yi, but in fact, Sun Quan was rescued by people from Da Qin.
Great Qin would dispatch two great masters to rescue Sun Quan thousands of miles away, and even pretended to be Liu Xiu. Naturally, this was to completely split the Wu Kingdom and lure Liu Xiu to send troops to attack the Wu Kingdom.
