When you decide to depend on others, you have already thought about how to rebel. This is unjust. Knowing that Yuan Shu was extremely ambitious and wanted to be emperor, he deliberately wanted to give him the imperial seal. This was disloyal. In the words of later generations, Sun Quan was an exquisite egoist. He had no morality but only interests in his eyes. As long as it was beneficial to himself, he would even violate all rules!
There is a saying that soldiers never tire of deceit. On the battlefield, the more you ignore the rules and play your cards against common sense, the greater the benefits will often be. Therefore, Shi Zimiaocai believed that the reason why Sun Quan became like this was entirely due to the influence of military education. Although Sun Quan seemed to have read so many books and read the Four Books and Five Classics at the drop of a hat, in fact, Sun Quan lacked the influence of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child.
Of course, what concerned Shi Zimiao the most was "disloyalty", which proved that Sun Quan had no respect for the imperial power of the Han Dynasty. This time he encouraged Yuan Shu to become the emperor. Then the time will really come true. There is no guarantee that Sun Quan will not become the emperor himself. Shi Zimiao believes that Sun Quan can definitely do it!
"Master, what should I do with this letter now?" Diao Chan asked cautiously. Fortunately, Shi Zimiao was here, otherwise Diao Chan would not have died of conflict. On the one hand, she had already promised Sun Quan, and Sun Quan did not lie. He was indeed persuading Sun Ce to withdraw his troops. Diao Chan should keep her promise; but on the other hand, Diao Chan also knew very clearly how huge the impact this letter would have. .
"Of course I'll send it as usual. You can't go back on your promise to someone else," Shi Zimiao said matter-of-factly.
"Ah?" Diao Chan was dumbfounded and extremely surprised by Shi Zimiao's answer. After all, in Diao Chan's eyes, Shi Zimiao would never do such a thing. In fact, from a certain point of view, Shi Zimiao and Sun Quan are very similar. They are both the kind of people who can easily ignore the rules, but Sun Quan does it for personal gain, while Shi Zimiao does it for the righteousness of the world.
"Just send it intact like this?" Diao Chan couldn't help but ask, she still thought it wouldn't be that simple, and guessed whether Shi Zimiao wanted to do some tricks in the letter.
"There must be a secret code in this kind of letter. If you change it at will, it will be superfluous." Shi Zimiao said lightly, "Besides, a beast that knows its movements is no longer scary. Diaochan, after delivering the letter, you can go back to the mountain gate. Please go and inform all the disciples who are out there to return soon, I have something important to announce."
Diao Chan was shocked. Ever since she was born, Diao Chan had never seen such a large gathering of her disciples. Could it be that Shi Zi's wonderful move of Quan Jingzhai's power was for Sun Quan? Is Sun Quan worthy of Shi Zimiao doing this?
"As commanded."
Diao Chan took the order and suddenly remembered something. She looked at Shi Zimiao and asked,
"What about you, Master?"
Since Shi Zimiao asked Diao Chan to go back and send a message, it meant that she had no intention of returning to Shanmen, at least in the near future. You must know that Shi Zimiao rarely came out of the mountain in the past. Now that the Jiangdong Army's problem has been solved, what else does Shi Zimiao do if he stays outside?
"You don't have to worry about me, I will make arrangements later." Shi Zimiao said and left.
On the spot, Diao Chan's eyes flashed. She didn't know if she was overthinking, but her intuition told her that if Shi Zimiao left in such a hurry, could he be chasing Sun Quan?
······
On this side, Sun Quan, who left the letter, was somewhat relieved.
He didn't know what his elder brother Sun Ce would have done if he hadn't left this letter; he wasn't sure whether the effect of leaving this letter would be good or bad. Maybe Sun Ce could really win Xiangyang in a last-ditch battle? But Sun Quan firmly believed that the choice he gave would not be wrong at least. Jiangdong is the source of the Sun family. Only by stabilizing the rear can we look at the world!
Sun Quan did not say some things in the letter, but he believed that his eldest brother Sun Ce should also know exactly what to do when that time comes. Giving the Imperial Seal to Yuan Shu only needs to fan the flames, and Yuan Shu will definitely proclaim himself emperor. At that time, Sun Ce will have absolutely legitimate reasons to raise troops to rebel against Yuan. The world will not accuse Sun Ce of being a traitor, but will only praise him for his sense of justice. If everything goes well , Jiangdong Army can still seize Yuan Shu's territory as a righteous army. Even during the years under Yuan Shu, Sun Ce took the initiative to get acquainted with some generals, and the probability of eventually instigating many people to rebel was very high. No matter what, Sun Ce, who knows Yuan Shu's camp thoroughly, will definitely be able to take the lead and obtain greater benefits before other princes!
After the major events on the front line, Sun Quan's side was left.
Zhang Ning wanted to leave first and summon all the Yellow Turban commanders. Only by taking action in person could she bring the scattered Yellow Turban generals together. Sun Quan hoped that Zhang Ning could ask these Yellow Turbans to help find out the whereabouts of his father, but Zhang Ning also reminded Sun Quan that there were many people in the Yellow Turbans who hated Sun Jian. Not to mention whether anyone was willing to help, even if they were willing, they probably had malicious intentions. . Sun Quan didn't care about this. If there was danger, he would find a way to resolve it. The key now is that he must find talents.
After Zhang Ning left, Sun Quan continued to follow Guan Hai and returned to the Qingzhou branch of the Yellow Turbans commanded by him.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are very large, and Guan Hai is only one of their commanders. However, unlike other Yellow Turban branches, the various commanders of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans can be regarded as a small group, often advancing and retreating together, and Guan Hai himself, because of his high strength and bravery, The reason why he is good at fighting is quite prestigious among the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban commanders.
on the road,
After hearing about the complex internal situation of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Sun Quan expressed his worries. After all, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was not Guan Hai's voice. How could Guan Hai convince others of such a major matter as attacking Beihai? Sun Quan believed that Guan Hai would never tell others about his deal with Guan Hai. Guan Hai must have something like Fu Shui in his hands! Without absolute profit motivation, how can Guan Hai convince others?
As a result, Guan Hai didn't care at all about Sun Quan's problem. He just smiled softly and told Sun Quan that he would know when he got there.
The journey was very long. Sun Quan and his party were very low-key and did not ride horses. They traveled through most of the Central Plains. Even though they were martial arts practitioners who traveled very quickly, more than half a month had passed by the time they arrived at their destination.
In the past half month or so, due to passing through Yuan Shu's territory and after many inquiries, he had learned more or less about the movements of Yuan Shu's army. When he heard that Yuan Shu had indeed led his troops to the direction of Wancheng, Sun Quan was completely relieved. It seems that Sun Ce finally adopted Sun Quan's suggestion and sent people to secretly contact Yuan Shu. Otherwise, how could Yuan Shu suddenly use troops?
In this way, under the leadership of Guan Hai, Sun Quan and his two men finally arrived at the temporary base of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. Only when they arrived here did Sun Quan finally understand what Guan Hai meant.
Originally, Sun Quan's knowledge of the Yellow Turbans was basically heard from the generals at home. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army that could compete with Jiangdong Army was also an elite Yellow Turban army under Zhang Jiao, and it could be considered a very orthodox army. Sun Quan has always known that today's Yellow Turbans are completely different from the original Yellow Turbans, but in Sun Quan's imagination, today's Yellow Turbans should be that kind of wild army, just like the Eighth Route Army on TV, and the gap with the orthodox army is more On the equipment.
However, it turned out that Sun Quan was still too naive.
