Chapter 25 The old man sees off the Yangtze River Road
At the end of April in the eighth year of Jian'an, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, together with his queen, two nobles, and the emperor's eldest son, went down the river and surrendered to Han Rui, the prefect of Lujiang. The latter immediately drove his horses and horses and protected him with a large army, heading north to Luoyang.
.
When the news came out, everyone in the world understood that after Cao Cao's death, the overthrow of Han by Yan was unstoppable. The last breath of the Han Dynasty was completely swallowed when Liu Bei died, but the Han Emperor was the Han Emperor after all.
The world's orthodoxy has been established for four hundred years, so Liu Xie's surrender still shocked everyone.
When the news spread, the four counties in Jingnan immediately made the most submissive gesture. Shiweiyan immediately speeded up and headed north. Not to mention, the last independent prince Jiangdong Sun family had no idea and formally surrendered to the Yan army. The seventeen-year-old
Sun Quan himself even took his family directly to the north, preparing to move the whole family to Luoyang.
But on the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the entire Sun family came to the north of Moling City in Danyang County, and boarded the Yan army's river warship with great trepidation... At this point, the last hostile warlord in the world disappeared.
Whether in theory or in practice, when Sun Quan and Shi Xie arrive in Luoyang, the entire world will be officially reunited!
To be fair, this brings relief and expectation to many people, and makes many people sad, but no matter what, the war that lasted for nearly fifteen years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion is finally coming to an end.
All kinds of grievances and hatreds seem to be drowned by the tide of the times.
On the river, several large boats were swaying slightly with the wind and waves, and the entire Sun family was boarding the boats one after another with a slightly frightened and cautious attitude.
By the way, this kind of building boat has a history and legend.
Originally, these ships came from the shipbuilding yard in Guangling, Xuzhou under the rule of Liu Bei, and they were supposed to be built and put into use on the river. After Xuzhou was defeated by Guan Yu, Guangling County, under the leadership of the governor Zhao Yu, chose to surrender the entire county.
Yan Jun quickly took over and discovered these building ships that were still under construction.
Yan Jun seemed unwilling to let such a beautiful ship end, so he continued to take over the construction. However, after it was launched last year, around the beginning of summer, the newly launched ships encountered a storm on the river, and two of the five high-rise ships sank.
.At this time, everyone remembered that someone had said that the focus was too high, and they reluctantly gave up on them.
However, the remaining three building boats could not be dismantled, so they simply stayed on the Yangtze River as a guard of honor. It was also suitable for them to be used to pick up and drop off people today.
"Are all the Sun family here?" Seeing the Sun family, men, women, old and young, carefully boarding the ship, on a small slope not far from the shore, there was a man in his forties, dressed in brocade clothes, with a tiger image painted on his chest.
, a senior member of the Yan Kingdom with two thousand stones, blue ribbons and silver seals hanging on his waist, suddenly sneered, twirling his beard with one hand, holding his sword with the other, and asked coldly.
Naturally, the people around me didn’t dare to neglect him.
The Moling County Magistrate, who had surrendered with Zhang Zhao and others earlier, took the initiative and gave a brief introduction:
"Reporting back to the general, the Sun family is a large family in Wu County, but Sun Jian's only brother and sister were co-born... The eldest brother Sun Qiang died early, and he only had one son, Sun Ben. However, he simply settled in Yingchuan after Sun Ce's death.
After surrendering, now Yan Gong is serving under Yiyi; one sister married Xu Zhen, and after Xu Zhen died, Xu Kun led the army, but he was the protagonist of the Kuaiji Rebellion before, and also died in Zhejiang; and Sun Jian
His younger brother Sun Jing, but because after Sun Ce died in Hebei, his son Sun Hao failed in his attempt to seize power. As early as when Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he was defeated by Xu Kun and Zhu Zhi. Even Zu Mao, who hesitated against Sun Hao, lived in seclusion early, regardless of
However, since Yan Gong had something to say, he also came with his sons. As for Sun Quan, his brothers and sisters, and Sun Jian's wife Wu, they all came naturally, but Sun Ce's wife Cao came early.
Returning home, we are already in the north now."
After listening to these garrulous words, the senior official of the Yan State was a little confused. After a long time to clear his mind, he sighed again: "Little Sun family, in the land of two counties, can you make such a fuss for some military and political power?"
Come on? There are only four brothers and sisters, but they all have different opinions."
The magistrate of Moling County also sighed: "In fact, when Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, was there, he was a hero. He led the Sun family to forge ahead, and he was like a great prince in the Central Plains. How could the whole Sun family be single-minded? But after Sun Wentai died, Sun Ce was in trouble.
Although he had made great achievements, he could still maintain the land of two counties, and then spy on other places. At that time, the Sun family could also maintain the overall situation. But once Sun Ce died, it would be strange for a mere fifteen-year-old kid with a yellow mouth to not cause trouble...
"
"What kind of hero is Sun Jian?!" The high-ranking official of the Yan Kingdom patiently listened to what the other party said, but suddenly snorted coldly and walked away.
As he watched, he actually caught up with the building ship.
The magistrate of Moling County was at a loss and had no idea what he had said wrong. But fortunately, the weather was clear and the breeze was gentle. The senior official of Yan State led a group of subordinate soldiers to catch up to the building where Sun was waiting.
Soon after the boat arrived, the fleet on the river set off northward toward the center of the river. The county magistrate, who was born in Jiangren, naturally turned around happily and paid no attention to him.
Not to mention how innocent the Moling County magistrate was, on the other side, the whole Sun family was crossing the river by boat, but they all had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was not very good...
There is no way, the female family members and young children are naturally afraid of things like migration, and they are also worried about leaving their hometown as surrenders and letting others deal with them. Therefore, most people below Mrs. Wu have sad faces.
As for the older men, with their hair tied up or above, the Sun family that used to be rampant in the world now only has four people: Sun Jing, Sun Hao and his son, and Sun Quan and Sun Yi brothers. And among them, there are only four who have been crowned
Sun Hao also took advantage of the fact that all of Sun Ce's old troops had not returned, and contacted Zu Mao, who had first returned to Wu County, and tried to surpass Sun Quan and become the person in power of the Sun family. Later, Sun Quan found Xu Kun and drove him away, so the two parties lived together at this time.
After a boat trip, Sun Yi, a young Wujun boy who had just tied his hair, once glared at Sun Hao, his cousin.
Of course, Sun Jing and Sun Quan are not that naive.
Sun Jing had gone through too many things, and Sun Quan, although young, had a lot of experience in the city. When the two met, leaving Sun Hao and Sun Yi behind, they took the opportunity to say some sincere words in a cabin near the window of the building ship.
"My nephew has never met Duke Yan, and I don't know who he is." Sun Quan is seventeen years old this year. He is still not very old, but as the head of the Sun family, especially the head of a shaky regime, this
One or two years of experience is enough for him to mature and his vision becomes much more practical.
He knew what he should really be concerned about at this time.
"Yan Gong is naturally a hero, but it's a little strange." Sun Youtai was also in a daze after being asked. "His agility when he was young was even sharper than your father's. He was tough on the outside and tough on the inside. His edge was the best in the world.
Crown, this is by no means a compliment... In fact, after your father came back from Danhan Mountain that day, he often told us about the situation at that time. Everyone fled south, but he alone attacked north, and he was able to
We burned Bombhan Mountain to save a three-point situation; later we attacked the Yellow Turbans. We fought hard all night and were indomitable. Your father told me after the war that he was exhausted that day, but because of a compliment from Yan Gong, who was still a great general with five senses at the time, he was defeated.
The excitement is indescribable... These are not without reason."
Sun Quan nodded slowly: "I heard my father talk about these things when I was a child... But why do you say Duke Yan is strange?"
"Because Duke Yan is not only the best in the world for his sharp swords." Sun Youtai became more and more confused. "For example, your father, who devoted his whole life to martial arts, was still behind Duke Yan. At that time, everyone in the world, including me, felt that Duke Yan was probably a
Han Xin is an ordinary figure like Bai Qi. But who would have thought that from then on, talents all over the world gradually discovered that Duke Yan could not only fight wars, but also pioneer farming, promote new policies, recognize talents, and practice laws.
We can also build a country..."
"If not, how could we create such a foundation that could overthrow the Han Dynasty?" Sun Quan smiled bitterly. "Uncle, of course I know that Duke Yan is as capable as Gao Guangwu of Han Dynasty. I just want to ask, what kind of character is Duke Yan?
?You say that he is so powerful that he is even better than my father, so I can certainly imagine it; you say that he is extremely talented and knows everything, and I can also understand... But then what? Should we treat others with leniency or with severity? We are here
What should I pay attention to? What will be the consequences?"
"I understand what you mean." Sun Jing came back to her senses and sighed. "But don't worry, according to me, Duke Yan still has some friendship for your father. We went to Luoyang this time, but
You don’t have to worry too much about your life. I estimate that you can at least live a stable life. And with Yan Gong’s magnanimity and nostalgia, maybe he can be favored and let you and Sun Yi directly enter Yicong or university and find a serious career in the future.
Provenance."
"Can I do it too?" Sun Quan was really shocked.
"Why not?" Sun Jingjing said quietly. "It's just two counties, but it's still in the wilderness in the southeast. Do you think Duke Yan really has any scruples?"
Sun Quan couldn't help but feel excited: "If you say so, if you can rely on your father's inheritance to find a good family for A Yi, A Ren and the others, it would be best to marry into Duke Yan's family. There is no way our Sun family will be able to thrive again."
"I'm thinking too much." Sun Jing frowned for a moment. "Besides, it's just Mr. Yan, but I'm extremely worried about something else."
"What's the matter?" Sun Quan couldn't help but restrain himself slightly.
"Your father and your brother have always been active in martial arts, and there have been many killings in the Central Plains. In the future, it may not be Duke Yan who will embarrass us, but many enemies who have ascended to prominent positions...especially your father's enemies." Sun Jing said frankly.
Relatively speaking. "In my opinion, Han Yigong's killing in Sha Xian was obviously over the top, but it was precisely because of his close relationship with Liu Xuande that he lost control. When we get to Luoyang in the future, no matter whether Yan Gong gives us a future or not,
, it’s better to be careful!”
Sun Quan nodded slightly, but his heart moved. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the armor outside the cabin vibrating, and he couldn't help but shut up immediately.
However, the noise obviously caused by the soldiers walking did not stop until they reached the front of the cabin door. Then someone knocked on the door and shouted:
"Marquis Wucheng, and General Sun Youtai, please come to my house!"
Sun Quan and Sun Jing were relieved, but they quickly got up and went out to face each other.
However, just after following the soldier for a few steps, Sun Quanfu was curious again... Before he boarded the ship, he clearly heard that there was only one Sima from another department who commanded three ships. How could he hear about the Lord of Fu? And the Lord of Fu was here.
Even the prefect, who has the responsibility of guarding the land, why did he come to the river again? He also had a little doubt in his heart.
However, although he was young, he was always cautious and well-established, so he just glanced at his uncle without asking any questions.
Arriving at the top floor of the building, it was a large cabin with windows on three sides, allowing the river breeze to flow. There was actually a table in the middle that seemed to be nailed to the cabin board. There were no dishes on the table, but there was a jug of wine. , several cups, all made of wood, were shaking slightly with the cabin.
However, neither Sun Quan nor Sun Jing cared about the dishes at this time, because starting from Mrs. Wu, the two female relatives of Sun Jian and Sun Jing, their children, and even the youngest Sun Ren were all here on the ship, as well as Sun Hao and Sun Yi. We are already here, but the area inside and outside the cabin is almost surrounded by no fewer than dozens of soldiers standing solemnly with their swords in hand!
What's worse is that when the two of them saw the owner waiting in the cabin, that is, the forty-year-old 'Fu Jun' with sharp eyesight, their hearts became colder. The reason was simple. The 'Fu Jun' was sitting behind the round table, not even showing any polite gesture, as if the visitor was not kind and the person who came was not kind.
"It'll be good if the rightful master is here." After seeing the visitor, the prince also sneered, and the unkindness in his words became more and more obvious. "Everyone, please sit down. I specifically declined to enter Luo. I came here privately to meet with Sun. Everyone, please stop the boat for a moment! Serve the food!"
When the soldiers outside the door heard the words, they naturally called for orders. After a while, the ship anchored and stopped. After the round table in the cabin only rose and fell slightly, someone brought some dishes, but most of them were dry fried things that had lost their juice. ...At this time, Sun Quan and Sun Jing had already understood that they were fighting for their own good, so they could only force themselves to stay calm and persuade Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Sun Jing and others to sit down quietly.
Only the young Sun Ren also has Sun Kuang and Sun Jing. This time, Sun Yu is in his teens, so he can't help but be naughty. Especially Sun Ren, as the legitimate daughter of the parents, and whose father died young, they can't help but dote on them. After overdoing it, after sitting down, she didn't know that a disaster was coming, and she actually took the initiative to pick up the food. Mrs. Wu was so surprised that she hurried to stop her, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of the Fujun Nianxu sneering, but she didn't dare to move too much.
"I dare to ask the name of this prince, but I don't know why..." At the critical moment, it was Sun Jing who had experienced more, and she stood up and asked calmly.
"Don't worry, General Sun Youtai. Although we have never met, we are family friends!" The gentleman finally stood up, lowered his head and poured himself a glass of wine. "I am waiting here specifically to reminisce with you..."
Sun Jing was about to confront him in awe, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of the white tiger embroidered on the chest of the brocade robe that the other party wore, representing a high-ranking military attache. Then she realized something almost instantly, and then her face turned pale and she could no longer speak!
In other words, the white tiger robe represents a high-ranking military officer in Yan State, which can basically be regarded as a general without a title. However, this person's subordinates call him the prince of his mansion. He does not deny it, which can only mean that this person is the prefect and commander. The General's men!
So who else can appear here at this time and serve as both the governor and general of a county? It seems that there is only one person, and this person happens to be the Sun family's biggest enemy!
Sun Jing couldn't help but glance at Sun Quan, who was also aware of the situation, and saw the despair in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Han Fu!" Sun Jing watched as the other party personally poured out cups of wine, including the two ladies and children. The ship also stopped in the center of the river, a place where the sky and the earth should not respond, but He couldn't bear it anymore. "You didn't even care about escorting the emperor, empress, and prince to Luo. You came here exclusively. What do you want?"
"It turns out that General Sun has recognized you, so that's easy to say." Mr. Han Fu, that is, Han Rui, the prefect of Lujiang who leads the ship, calmly continued to pour the wine to the table full of Sun men and women. Then he calmly sat down and asked with a sneer. "General Sun was also involved in my uncle's incident back then. What do you think I meant by leaving behind such great achievements and looking for your Sun family? Of course I want to ask General Sun Youtai, my uncle." , how come Chen Guofu of the former Han Dynasty was taken to Sun Jian’s military camp by his subordinates, and then died without a burial place?”
Everyone from Madam Wu to the following, including brothers Sun Hao and Sun Yi, finally realized that this was an enemy coming to seek revenge. The latter two were both martial young men and wanted to resist after hearing this, but the new ones did not have armor on them. , swords aside, just as he was about to stand up, he was held down by a group of three soldiers behind him.
Seeing this appearance, Sun's family was completely eclipsed, but there was nothing they could do.
"Is there anything to be dissatisfied with? Only your father and uncle are allowed to kill my uncle, but I am not allowed to kill you?" Han Rui picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then poured the wine again while speaking coldly, without any concealment in his words. "When I came to Lujiang that day, I asked for the general of the building ship, so that I could personally raise the troops and make a break with your Sun family! But I surrendered! You know, I hurried to Moling Port last night Later, I couldn't sleep over and over again at night, all I thought about was to stop the boat in the river today, then scuttle the boat, and let the whole Sun family bury my uncle with him!"
"The Lord of the Han Mansion must think about Duke Yan's reputation..." The wind continued, and Sun Quan broke down in sweat, but he still couldn't hide his panic. After all, the genocide was too scary, and it seemed like it was really right in front of him.
"I've thought about it!" Han Rui drank another cup and poured another cup for himself. "After the ship is scuttled, the worst thing is that I will join you in the river to be buried with you... I am a prefect and general, and I can't say that I will be sixty years old in this life." I can still serve as a state shepherd and a minister, and share the fate with you. In addition, everyone knows the enmity between our Han family and your Sun family, how can anyone in the world really blame my family Yan Gong?"
"But Lord Han is not concerned about this matter!" Sun Quan quickly spoke up. "It must be that it is not a last resort, and he is not willing to be so drastic..."
"Master Han!" Just as Sun Quan was trying to persuade him, Sun Jing suddenly spoke up and cut off his nephew's efforts.
"What's the matter?" Han Rui faced him with a cup.
"Your uncle committed suicide and threw himself into the water... However, it doesn't matter anymore, because my brother has never let go of his death in his life. I often come back in my dreams and recall the past." Sun Youtai's eyes were red. , he also stood up and drank the wine that the other party had just poured in one gulp.
"So what?" Han Rui squinted his eyes and watched the other person finish his drink before continuing to ask.
"Nothing else, I just want to say that, to be fair, if you want to seek revenge from our Sun family, we, the Sun family, can't hide anything." Sun Jing stood up and faced each other. The soldiers behind her tried to step forward and hold her down, but were lifted up by Han Rui. "At this point, I just want to ask, if the world is about to be peaceful...are women and children also guilty?"
"Of course not." Han Rui lowered his head and smiled. "If it weren't for that, I would have built the ship long ago."
"If I can let others go, Quanzi and I, two adults, are willing to..."
"General Youtai, stay here. Didn't Sun Wentai also kill the young man with tied hair at the banquet that day? Or in front of his biological father!" Han Rui drank it all in one gulp for the third time, but did not pour any more wine, just with a pair of He stared at the other party with sharp eyes. "Why is it that when we come to your Sun's house, the young man with tied hair is a woman and a child?"
Mrs. Wu hugged Sun Ren and burst into tears, but still did not dare to say a word. As for the two people with their hair tied up, Sun Quan was so cold that he could hardly speak; Sun Yi was even more stunned...
As for Sun Youtai, he was almost swaying on the boat that had already anchored and had only drank a glass of wine. He could only hold on to the table to steady himself.
Obviously, after these words, the previous confrontation and confrontation on the building disappeared completely, and the outcome seemed to be decided between the two sides. Han Rui also lowered his head again, poured himself a fourth glass of wine very slowly, and held the cup in hand.
"That's..." After an unknown amount of time, Sun Youtai hesitated several times, but finally bowed his head sadly under the blow of the river wind. "That's... that's what my brother did wrong that day! What happened in Nanyang was like this.
, the same thing happened with Chen Guo! He did everything wrong!"
Han Rui had no expression on his face. He picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp, then drew his sword.
The sword was unsheathed. Of course, there were soldiers who had already stepped forward to hold Sun Jing and Sun Quan tightly. Han Rui came behind Sun Jing with the sword. Without hesitation, he grabbed the opponent's bun from behind with one hand and suddenly with the other.
He drew the knife...but only cut off the opponent's hair!
The river wind was messy, and when Han Rui raised his hand, Sun Youtai's hair was instantly swept out of the window and scattered on the river.
The soldier let go, Han Rui sheathed his sword, and Sun Jing escaped, but turned back to stare at Han Rui with an incredible look.
The two looked at each other, Han Rui was so angry that Sun Jing could only lower her head again:
"The lives of my entire clan are in the hands of Mr. Hanfu, and the sword is unsheathed. Why would Mr. Hanfu bypass me?"
"If you wantonly take people's lives just because you have a knife in your hand, how is it different from your brother?" Han Rui almost kept sneering today, but he returned to his position and signaled the soldiers to let everyone go. "But, by the way,
When I come back, even Duke Yan has killed Lu Bu, let alone me. If the troubled times don't stop, with my character, you will definitely die today, but isn't this the unification of the world?"
"So what if the world is unified?" Sun Jing was still unable to calm down.
"When the world is unified, it will be easy for the young crops on the mountain to become fertile with blood. It will be easy for the old grievances to be purchased and sold. It will be easy for people's hearts to suppress evil and promote good. It will be easy for all kinds of waste to prosper and prevent chaos from spreading in the world again! The world is unified, even with Duke Yan.
You have to swear not to be wanton again, let alone me?" Han Rui sighed proudly. "And I won't hide it from you. When my uncle sent the orphan of Chen Guojun Luo Jun to Chang'an, he had a word with me and asked me to
There is no need for revenge... but I really couldn't help but kill. Until my former classmate Liu Xuande died in the water, and when Duke Yan sent a letter asking you to surrender, he did not forget me. He knew that I had a strong temper, so he specially wrote a letter in handwriting.
He was sent to Lujiang and told me that the world would be peaceful, and advised me to move forward with courage and not to be disturbed by the troubled times and send the future away in vain."
At this point, Han Rui finally poured the wine slowly again and continued:
"When I got this book, I remembered my uncle's last words in the past. It was only a six-point tie. However, because of the successive incidents in Jiangxia, I first saw the Han Emperor surrender with my own eyes. After four hundred years, I no longer had the imperial spirit. I also heard about old friends who could not bear the burden of troubled times.
, before dying in peace, I made up my mind! Of course, I also saw that your Sun family's population was declining, and the only elder was still somewhat heroic... If it really turned out to be ugly, I would kill them all! But if there is no
As you said when you admitted your mistake just now, as someone who was involved in the past, you are bound to take a trip to Jiang Xin!"
"Han Jun is magnanimous." After Sun Jing recovered her mood, she couldn't help but stand up and talk sincerely.
"No need to talk about this." Han Rui raised his glasses to each other. "The world is peaceful, let's get married, otherwise you will never feel at ease... and I'm sorry for the poems my uncle left me."
"How?" Sun Quan finally said in confusion.
"I adopted the daughter of Luo Jun, Prime Minister of the State of Chen, on that day. I wanted to give it to my son, but today it seems that such behavior will make the Luo family childless... Mrs. Wu, your daughter can be my daughter-in-law, the stronger one
He may be the son-in-law of the Luo family, but he has to change his surname to Luo, which is the story of Chen Guo."
From Mrs. Wu down, everyone in the Sun family quickly stood up and bowed their heads in response.
"Don't bow your head. No matter men, women, old or young, all of you, men and women, young and old, drink the cup in front of you to make peace with me, then pull up the anchor and cross the river!" Han Rui lowered his head to drink another cup, then suddenly threw the cup to the ground and shouted sternly.
I am the dividing line that bows down
"Fight in the south of the city, die in the north of Guo. If you die in the wild, you will not be buried but can be eaten."
Call me a cuckold: and be a distinguished guest!
If you die in the wild without being buried, how can you escape with carrion?
The water is deep and agitated, and the pampas grass is dark;
The owl cavalry died in battle, and the rogue horse wandered and screamed.
When building a house in Liang, why should it be south? Why should it be north?
If you don't get the grain and millet, how can you feed it? Is it possible for you to be a loyal minister?
Think of your son and his good ministers, and think of your good ministers sincerely:
Go out to attack in the morning and return at dusk!" "Han Yuefu. Battle in the South of the City". Han Tuo
