Chapter 124: Sun Quan’s Wrath: The Tiger Raises Its Head (4000 words! Please read it!)
After thinking carefully, Shiyi opened his mouth to comfort Sun Quan and said: "The Supreme Being has considered it very well."
"Although Sun Wuwei has a good reputation, he is still young after all. Because of his youth, he is inevitably full of energy, which is why Mi Yang took advantage of him."
"Today Mi Yang's opponent is the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief has outstanding achievements. He has been in the army for thirty years and has rich experience. How can he be compared to Sun Wuwei?"
"How can it be compared to that of Mi Yang?"
"Besides, the military strength in the hands of the governor is several times that of Mi Yang. The military strength is so strong that it is rarely seen in the world.
With such a force and the military strategy of the Commander-in-Chief, it will not be difficult to take down the Public Security Bureau, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Shi Yi knew very well that the worry Sun Quan showed in front of him now was not because he was really worried that Lu Meng would not be Mi Yang's opponent.
After all, even if we don't talk about the reputation gap between Lu Meng and Mi Yang, the military strength Lu Meng currently holds is several times that of Mi Yang.
Under such a huge gap in strength, although Sun Quan had doubts, he was not really worried that Lu Meng would be defeated by Mi Yang.
The biggest purpose of Sun Quan's current demeanor is actually to test him.
He tested the officials in Jiangdong to see what they thought of his sending Lu Meng to attack Jingzhou.
Recently, for some reason, unfavorable remarks against Lu Meng have gradually spread in Jianye City.
Most of those comments said that Lü Meng might have used the troops to support himself, and also said that although there were 100,000 soldiers, the police could not attack the city.
These remarks did not originate from the common people, but were spread among ministers.
Because it involves the current ministers of Jiangdong, Sun Quan, who is well versed in political strategy, cannot regard these remarks as simple rumors.
These remarks were clearly spread by deliberate people to disturb the morale of the military.
Sun Quan is not a foolish king. He rashly listened to these remarks and changed his generals before the battle. He could not do such a thing.
But he could not ignore these remarks.
Therefore, he has been trying to find out the source of these remarks.
Failure to find out the source of these remarks will be detrimental to maintaining the internal stability of Jiangdong.
After checking again and again, Sun Quan set out to test his close ministers.
The worried look on Sun Quan's face at this moment was true, and it was also true that he was unable to make a move because he had something on his mind, but the reason he was worried about was false.
This was Sun Quan's usual method of testing his subordinates.
Fortunately, Yi Yi was alert and well aware of Sun Quan's thoughts, so when faced with Sun Quan's temptation, he dispelled Sun Quan's doubts about him in just a few words.
Sure enough, after hearing Shiyi's relief, Sun Quan had a look of satisfaction on his face.
Although Shi Yi's relief was a cliché that Sun Quan was tired of hearing these days, it can prove Shi Yi's attitude.
Knowing this is enough.
Sun Quan then looked at the other ministers and saw that the other ministers were like Hu Zong, and Wu Fan's face showed approval of Shiyi's words.
In Sun Quan's heart, those doubts gradually dissipated.
In fact, Sun Quan has always been very trusting of his ministers, but after Xu Xiang's incident, Sun Quan no longer trusts his ministers as much as before.
When Xu Xiang was in Jiangdong, his status was the same as that of Shiyi, Hu Zong, Wu Fan and others, and they were all his close ministers.
Among these people, Xu Xiang and Sun Quan were closer. They had known each other since childhood.
It was only because Xu Xiang was the most eloquent and courageous among his ministers that Sun Quan often ordered Xu Xiang to go on missions abroad.
But what Sun Quan didn't expect was that he had such deep trust in Xu Xiang that Xu Xiang chose to betray him in the end.
This made Sun Quan, who was already suspicious, even more distrustful of others.
Now every time he thinks of Xu Xiang, Sun Quan's heart will feel stinging.
I wish I could kill him quickly.
After testing that the ministers around him had no strange thoughts, the worried look on Sun Quan's face disappeared in an instant.
He raised the chess piece he had just put down and began to think about the current chess game with interest.
While thinking about it, Sun Quan became in a better mood, like a monarch with a generous personality. He asked another minister beside him, Wu Fandao,
"Wen Ze, you have always been good at calculating and calculating, and every calculation is always accurate.
Now you have to calculate for Gu, whether Ziming can win the police for Gu."
Sun Quan's words were full of smiles.
Wu Fan, a close minister whom Sun Quan summoned, was named Wenze and was from Shangyu in Kuaiji.
Wu Fan, Liu Dun, Zhao Da, Yan Wu, Cao Buxing, Huang Xiang, Song Shou, and Zheng Nu are collectively known as the "Eight Wonders of Wuzhong"
Wu Fan studied under famous teachers since he was a child. He was good at studying calendars and knowing the climate.
As a result, he became well-known in the county, and was promoted to Youdao by the county chief and took office in Luoyang.
Later, when the world was in chaos, Wu Fan saw Sun Quan rising in the southeast, so he went south to join Sun Quan.
As one of the first Jiangdong nobles to join Sun Quan, Sun Quan held Wu Fan in high regard and kept him with him all the time.
After Wu Fan devoted himself to serving Sun Quan, every prediction of disaster and good luck came true, so he gradually became famous. Sun Quan appointed him as the Cavalry Commander and Taishi Ling.
When Sun Quan and Lu Meng planned to attack Jingzhou, among the ministers who were close to him, he asked Wu Fan alone, and Wu Fan's answer was: "Yes."
Wu Fan saw Sun Quan smiling and asked him about Lu Meng's attack on the police. Knowing that Sun Quan was in a good mood at this time, he did not refuse.
He looked like he was meditating with his eyes closed, and his fingers kept making gestures in the air, as if he was doing something.
Seeing this, Sun Quan also temporarily put aside his actions.
He had watched Wu Fan's calculation preparation work countless times, but every time he watched it, Sun Quan never got tired of it.
Most people in Jiangdong are superstitious, and Sun Quan, who is from Jiangdong, is inevitably affected by this.
After about a quarter of an hour of calculation, Wu Fan, who looked like an immortal, opened his eyes. He bowed to Sun Quan and replied: "This year, the Supreme Being will definitely win Jingzhou."
After hearing what Wu Fan, whom he trusted, said, Sun Quan couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed happily.
Overjoyed, Sun Quan promised Wu Fan:
"If you don't bully me, the day I conquer Jingzhou will be the day you become the Duke of Ting."
Wu Fan, who received Sun Quan's promise, was overjoyed immediately after hearing this.
Being a marquis was the ambition of every man in the world. Even if he did not obtain the title of marquis through military exploits, as long as he could be granted the title of marquis, Wu Fan would be satisfied.
Because of Yin Yi's relief and Wu Fan's calculation that was in line with his wishes, Sun Quan was in an extremely good mood at this time.
In a good mood, Sun Quan came up with a clever move. He was about to make a move when a waiter came to report that the police report had arrived.
When he was confident, Sun Quan heard a battle report from the police.
He suddenly beamed with joy and almost stood up from the collapse.
Sun Quan glanced at Wu Fan and praised, "Qing Zhen is a master of calculation."
The rest were Yi and other close ministers. When they heard the battle report coming from the police, their faces also showed joy.
At this time, everyone in the room thought it was good news.
Sun Quan, who was very happy in his heart, hurriedly ordered the waiters outside the palace to bring in the police report.
He wanted to see how his commander-in-chief planned to defeat the enemy this time.
Even at this time, Sun Quan had already thought about what reward he would give Lu Meng.
Under Sun Quan's urgent order, the waiters outside the palace did not dare to delay and hurriedly came in and handed the battle report to Sun Quan with both hands.
Sun Quan eagerly received the battle report and read it carefully.
And just a few moments after Sun Quan watched the battle report, Sun Quan's face, which was originally cheerful, became increasingly livid.
Endless anger was gathering in his narrow eyes, and his hands holding the battle report began to tremble unconsciously.
At the end, Sun Quan, whose face had become extremely gloomy, was so angry that he pushed the chessboard in front of him to the ground.
As countless chess pieces fell to the ground and began to make a crisp sound, Sun Quan's furious voice instantly echoed throughout his dormitory.
"Why! Why doesn't that deer die?"
"Why! Why did you lose so miserably!"
"Why! Why should you betray Gu's trust!"
The furious Sun Quan was now like a tiger whose lair had been invaded, and his roar echoed throughout the house.
The crisp sound of the chess pieces falling to the ground complemented the roar of Sun Quan's tiger, as if they were playing the song of Jiangdong's subjugation.
This scene of Sun Quan's sudden rage frightened everyone in the room to kneel on the ground, trembling.
No matter how stupid they were, they could tell from Sun Quan's words that the public security battle report sent today was not a victory report at all, but a defeat report.
And it must be an extremely miserable defeat that made Sun Quan so angry.
After roaring three times, Sun Quan still felt uncomfortable. He picked up the battle report in his hand and stood up and came to the ground.
He came to the ministers who had just been reassuring him that he would win, and now his tone had become extremely cold.
"Didn't you say that our army will win a great victory?"
"Didn't you say that Mi Yang has nothing to worry about?"
"Our army is defeated! Huang Gai and Jiang Qin, the two generals, fell into the trap and died. Zhou Tai died from an arrow because he covered the nurse's attack."
"Overnight, three generals of our army died, and nearly 10,000 elite soldiers were left with no bones left. They were all turned into ashes!"
"And our army has not yet captured a single city gate from the Public Security Bureau!"
When he reached the end, Sun Quan's tone became furious again.
Sun Quan has been in power for a long time, and he usually has some Qi-nurturing skills, but at this moment, any Qi-nurturing skills are useless.
When he thought of his own army being defeated so miserably, Sun Quan felt the blood in his body rioting, and he had completely lost his composure.
The anger caused by the tragic results of the battle, the heartache caused by the loss of several generals, the sadness caused by the feeling that trust had been betrayed, and all the most unbearable emotions were filled in Sun Quan's heart at this time.
At this moment, he wanted to kill someone!
Especially when he remembered that just now everyone was still talking about Lu Meng's victory and celebrating him in advance.
Sun Quan felt extremely ironic as he was very proud of himself in the celebration of everyone.
In the nearly twenty years since he took charge of Jiangdong, he has never suffered such a humiliation.
Sun Quan's eyes, almost ready to burst out with anger, stared closely at these close ministers kneeling in front of him.
He looked at Wu Fan, whom he hated most at the moment, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Wen Ze, you usually predict that many things in the world will come true."
"Why is it not working today?"
"Is it possible that you can control the affairs of the world, but you alone cannot control Mi Yang!"
Sun Quan's chilling words floated over Wu Fan's head. Thinking of Sun Quan's ruthless methods in the past, Wu Fan was so frightened that he almost fainted.
He doesn't have the ability to predict the future. In the past, he always hit the mark when he spoke. What's more, he has a heart that can see into the world.
According to common sense, Mi Yang, who is just starting out, is invincible against Lu Meng, who is already famous!
Who would have known that today he would encounter the anomaly Mi Yang.
Wu Fan was so frightened that he almost cried. Why would he bother Mi Yang if nothing happened?
Sun Quan looked at Wu Fan who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, murderous intent boiling in his heart.
When he was about to order the guards to push Wu Fan out and behead him, he thought of the deaths of Huang Gai, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in the battle report.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.
For the sake of the overall situation, we must not rush to kill the Jiangdong nobles at this time.
Seeing Sun Quan looking like he wanted to kill someone but couldn't find the target, Hu Zong, another close minister of Sun Quan, boldly advised Sun Quan,
"The crime of defeat should be borne by the commander-in-chief of the three armies."
"Lü Meng is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted."
"The Supreme Being can punish Lu Meng, so why should he be so angry? What would he do if his anger ruined his body?"
Hu Zong's advice was originally intended to divert misfortune to the east.
Unexpectedly, his advice made Sun Quan angry again.
Sun Quan picked up the fallen chess box and threw it at Hu Zong's forehead.
After a while, traces of blood were already flowing from Hu Zong's forehead.
"Punishment? How to punish!"
"Ziming has been seriously ill. Currently, our tens of thousands of troops can only rely on him to hold their breath..."
"Believe it or not, as soon as Gu's criminal documents arrive at the police station, Gu's tens of thousands of troops will be instantly demoralized and out of control!"
Although Sun Quan was in a state of rage, his basic judgment was still there.
Seeing his ministers giving bad ideas one after another, Sun Quan had already lost all patience with these ministers whom he had trusted in the past.
"Get out, get everyone out!"
When Sun Quan gave a sharp shout, he felt that it was Yi and the others who had saved their lives, so they immediately got up and fled from Sun Quan's bedroom.
If you don't leave, will your life be too long?
Behind everyone, Sun Quan raised the battle report in his hand, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Ordinary people can only see the superficial result of the public security's defeat in the first battle, but as the lord, Sun Quan can see further than ordinary people.
Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai are all the backbone generals of the Huaisi Group and his die-hard party members.
These three people died overnight, which means that in the current Jiangdong political situation, the pattern that Sun Quan worked hard to create for decades, using Huaisi generals to check Jiangdong generals, has been broken.
In the past, Sun Quan relied on the left and right checks and balances to firmly control the power of Jiangdong after repeated defeats.
But now because of the public security war, this pattern has been broken, so where will he go in the future?
Sun Quan leaned over and spread out the war newspaper on the ground. He gently touched the three cold names with his fingers, and the past voices and smiles of the three beloved generals appeared in his mind.
This is the cornerstone left to him by his father and brother to protect his Sun family's foundation.
In the end, Sun Quan felt so sad that he could not help but cover his chest.
Father, brother, did Zhongmou make a mistake in attacking Jingzhou?
If you were still here, what would you do next?
In the empty bedroom, Sun Quan, the supreme leader of Jiangdong, could not help but murmur.
But just after whispering, Sun Quan suddenly remembered someone!
Then he looked up suddenly.
No more today. Let’s go to bed early after watching this.
