Sun Bu was taken back to the Nanye Post House. He boiled water to wash away the dirt on his body, put on clean clothes and walked out of the room. He found that Ding Feng had held a banquet in the Post House to quell his shock.
Ding Feng was from Anfeng, Lujiang. Because of his humble background and lack of literary skills, he slowly climbed up from the lowest level of a soldier. Only he knew the bitterness of it. He belonged to the Huaisi Group but had no backers, so that he was now nearly 30 years old. , during the period when Jiangdong generals were rapidly declining, he still failed to stand out and was still a small captain in the army.
After a person is severely beaten by society, he usually slowly learns to adapt to the rules. He used to follow Chen Wu and Pan Zhang, but unfortunately both of his backers collapsed. He was sent to Luling before Lu Xun had time to build relationships. The southern part defends the frontier.
Because he had been slapped in the face and humiliated by Wang Jin before, Luling Prefect Lu Dai was not close to him. Just when Ding Feng was wasting his time, Sun Bu suddenly appeared in front of him, so Ding Feng showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
Nanye County, which was originally short of supplies, also asked Ding Feng to prepare a table of good wine and food. Unfortunately, Sun Bu was afraid of making a mistake after drinking, so he stopped drinking after only two bowls of wine and concentrated on the dishes on the table.
After enjoying the overwhelming banquet, Ding Feng still wanted to keep Sun Bu for a few days. He planned to perform well and leave a good impression on the other party first, so that he could follow Sun Bu's path in the future. This was faster than killing the enemy heroically.
When Sun Bu saw Ding Feng's generous fist, he did not refuse directly. Instead, he changed the subject and asked: "I heard that fierce fighting is going on everywhere. What's the situation in Jiangdong now?"
"Your Majesty lost the battle in Huainan, but Cao Pi has taken the initiative to send people to reconcile, but many of our generals died in this battle, alas." Ding Feng answered relatively calmly. Although the battle in Huainan left many positions, he knew that there were no One is reserved for myself.
"We have Ruxuwu, the waters of Chaohu Lake, and Jiangdong warships. How could we lose?" Sun Bu looked puzzled.
Ding Feng shook his head gently: "It would be no problem if it were a pure water battle. It's a pity that the king was so angry about Han Zong that he resorted to attacking from the east and west to besiege Junqiu County in order to plot Hefei. Cao Ren did lose several battles because of this, but later Zang Ba and Manchu Chong's reinforcements joined the battlefield, but it was too late for the governor to go to support."
"Why is the Grand Governor like this?" When Sun Bu mentioned the Grand Governor Lu Xun, he remembered the conversation that night. At this time, he felt that Lu Xun must have done it on purpose.
"The specific situation is not clear. It is also possible that the king was defeated first and then called the navy of the governor to go to Ruxu. You know that the position in our army is not high, so there are many situations." Ding Feng's face was full of bitterness.
"Where is the governor now?" Sun Bu asked again.
Ding Feng answered truthfully: "After the peace talks with Wei, the governor has led the navy back to Chaisang. After all, Wuchang Ganning is also a ruthless character."
"Did the Jingzhou navy do anything unusual during the time when the governor went to Ruxuwu?" Sun Bu asked.
Ding Feng shook his head: "I have never heard of it, so why would General Sun ask this?"
Sun Bu smiled slightly: "I was thinking that Gan Ning didn't move at all. This guy turned out to be a water bandit. It's a bit incredible."
"It's true that Gan Ning was originally a water bandit, but now he has transformed and has become Liu Bei's general who conquered the east." Ding Fengxin said that he was born late and did not catch up with the good times.
"I still have to rush back to Jianye as soon as possible. Last time I was arrested for no reason in Guangzhou. There should be details leaking my whereabouts. I must remind the king to be careful. Chengyuan's kindness will be reserved for next time. Please prepare two fast horses for me. I want Traveling day and night." In the end, Sun Bu refused Ding Feng's offer to stay.
"Well, state affairs are of paramount importance, so I will prepare my horse right away." Ding Feng knew that he could not stay, so he quickly turned around and left the post house.
Sun Bu took the horses and thanked Ding Feng, then followed the official road beside the Gan River and ran north day and night. He passed by Luling, Nanchang and other places without stopping. When he arrived at Chaisang, he did not go to see Lu Xun. We found a boat at the dock to return to Jianye.
In late March, Sun Bu finally returned to Jianye and went straight to the palace to meet Sun Quan.
Walking outside the palace gate, Sun Bu found the shopkeeper of Yu's trading company, Yu Xiu, dressed in military uniform, coming towards him.
"Yu" Sun Bu stopped where he was, not knowing what to call him for a moment.
Hu Ke knew Sun Bu's story well and deliberately pretended to be surprised. He cupped his fists and gave a standard military salute: "General Sun, are you back? The king was still talking about you just now."
"Well, I have something to do with your Majesty. Let's talk later." Sun Bu returned the gesture with cupped fists.
"Oh okay." Hu Ke nodded and left.
Has this peddler joined the army? Sun Bu went to the palace to meet Sun Quan with questions.
When Sun Quan heard Sun Bu's name from the guards, he lowered his body and trotted to meet him at the entrance of the palace. However, because of his long robe, short legs, and high threshold, his right foot hung on the threshold and he almost fell over. This scene Sun Bu happened to see it.
Sun Buxin said what kind of ceremony did the king perform? He stepped forward and helped Sun Quan up.
"Your Majesty, you."
"Let's go into the palace and talk." Sun Quan's originally excited face turned cold the moment he knelt down.
Sun Quan returned to his throne and sat down. He looked Sun Bu up and down and asked, "I have two questions now. Did you write a letter home? Is Shiren still under our control in Jiangdong?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the general has just arrived in Guangzhou and was arrested together with Shi Yan. Someone should have leaked the news. A letter from home was indeed written." Sun Bu answered with clasped fists.
Sun Quan took out the letter and put it on the table, "See if it's this one?"
"That's right. It was written by the last general himself. Your Majesty should have seen the secret message. Why did you still let Lu Xun go unchecked?" Sun Bu had a question mark on his face.
"Lu Boyan is the Commander-in-Chief of Jiangdong. How can I capture him with just a few words? Since you were arrested when you arrived in Guangzhou, how did you get a letter back to your family and escape back to Jiangdong?" Sun Quan's suspicious character made him He also didn't trust Sun Bu.
Sun Bu first asked Sun Quan to get rid of others, and then told the whole story. After that, he reminded Sun Quan: "Lu Xun framed Jiangdong many times. Your Majesty should have made plans early. Otherwise, if he led his troops to surrender to Liu Bei, how could we Jiangdong?" Don’t you want to be slaughtered by others?”
Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and frowned, thinking. He had been observing Lu Xun for many years, thinking that the hatred between him and Lu Xun had been eliminated. After all, it was Sun Ce who had done the evil back then, and he even married Sun Ce's daughter to make up for it.
If Lu Xun still had resentment in his heart, he could take it out on his wife. What would be the benefit of betraying him? Could it be that the woman blew something into her ears?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't calm down. Although Sun Ce and Sun Yi were both assassinated, there were always villains slandering him. So the stupid woman wouldn't believe it, right?
Sun Quan was not kind to Sun Ce's lineage. Because he had done a lot of bad things, the association became more vivid at this time. His face was like clouds in the sky, changing back and forth very quickly.
"Your Majesty?" Sun Bu reminded Sun Quan in a low voice when he saw that he was silent.
Sun Quan came back to his senses and said, "I will plan Lu Xun's matter slowly. You finally escaped, so go home first."
"My wife" Sun Bu once advised her to remarry in her letter. At this time, I don't know if that family is still there.
Sun Quan forced a smile and said: "Your letter is doubtful, Gu did not let her remarry"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Bu bowed and thanked him. Suddenly he remembered what happened in Jiaozhou, so he asked more eloquently: "I wonder what happened to that Shiren?"
"Humph, Shiren? Go and see for yourself." Sun Quan pulled out the latest "Lingnan Daily" from his arms.
Sun Bu was stunned after seeing this and murmured to himself: "Shi Hui and Shi Yi rebelled and were punished. Shi Xie fell off his horse and was seriously injured and was sent to Guangzhou for treatment. Shi Ren became the prefect of Jiaozhi. This is too unreasonable."
