Sun Quan was restless, especially when he heard his mother Mrs. Wu's scream.

From the moment his aunt, Mrs. Sun entered the door, he was very uneasy. Because the aunt looked at him without a trace of warmth, only indescribable anxiety, and her granddaughter Xu Hua, who was flattered by the pearl in her hand, only talked to Sun Kuang and Sun Lang, but ignored him and just thought he did not exist.

Why is it always like this? Did I really pick it up? It was not actually a child of the Sun family? Sun Quan was in a very depressed mood. Because of his unique appearance, he has been criticized since he was a child. Some people say he picked it up, some say he was an illegitimate child, and some even say he was a barbarian. Since he went to Jiaozhou and met the blond and blue-eyed Hu Shang, he even believed him a little.

If this is true, it would be reasonable for Brother Wang Sun Ce to suppress him, but both his father Sun Jian and his mother Mrs. Wu said with confidence that he was their flesh and blood, which made him feel very unbalanced. Since they are all children of the Sun family, why can't I stand alone? It's not my responsibility to defeat the Jiaozhou war. If they let them go, they will still encounter trouble. However, these complaints are meaningless. The best way to prove it is to let Brother Wang go to Jiaozhou in person and let him see the danger of the deep mountains and dense forests of Jiaozhou. If he was also frustrated, he naturally had nothing to say.

"Second brother, second brother..."

Sun Quan was shocked and came to his senses. He turned to look at Sun Kuang beside him. Sun Kuang was looking at him worriedly, and Sun Lang was the same, but Xu Hua disappeared and didn't know where he went.

"What's up?"

"My mother is calling you." Sun Kuang winked. Sun Quan turned his head and saw Xu Hua standing at the door of the atrium, but with him on his back. Sun Quan was angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only stand up with a breath. As soon as he moved, Xu Hua left first, leaving only a figure for him.

Sun Quan smiled bitterly and came to the back hall. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Sun were sitting in the hall. Mrs. Wu looked at him, pointed to the prepared seat, and signaled him to take the seat. Sun Quan moved the seat, leaned against Mrs. Wu, and bowed to salute.

"My mother, what are you asking?"

"Your brother Wang is busy with state affairs, so you can help him, don't wait here. There is still some time for the high ceremony, and your two younger brothers are there. If someone comes to worship, they will be welcomed."

"What am I going to the palace...do?"

"When you go, your brother Wang will naturally make arrangements. He kept saying that among the few brothers, you have the strongest ability to handle government affairs."

Sun Quan's heart sank, and then a sense of anger surged. His mother also surrendered to Brother Wang and asked him to give up his military merits and engage in government affairs. Brother Wang never believed him. He just deprived him of his military post and brought him back to Wuxian. What's ridiculous is that he had no doubts at all. He was deceived by him and thought that he could return to Jiaozhou after his father was buried and proved himself.

It turns out that in his heart, I am not as good as Han Dang at all.

"The Wu Kingdom is full of talents, including Zhang Xiang, Yu Xiang and other talented ministers, and there are also new talents trained by the Government Affairs Hall. Besides, I am not inferior to me. Besides, I am not good at literary and martial arts. If I have implicated my father on the battlefield, I will not drag down Brother Wang. I should just keep a guard for my father and pass by before repentance."

Mrs. Wu stared at Sun Quan for a long time and sighed. "Since that's the case, then let's do it."

Sun Quan stood up and bowed and left again. Mrs. Wu looked at his back and said quietly after a long time: "Sister, why did I give birth to such a stubborn boy? It is obvious that the throne is expected, so I have to go to the battlefield to fight, so why bother?"

Mrs. Sun said lightly: "Maybe it's because of nature. Some people go to the battlefield to defend their country, some people go to the battlefield to be bloodthirsty and kill, and some people just like the stimulation of life and death. Who can tell it clearly?"

Mrs. Wu was unhappy, but she had to admit that what Mrs. Sun said made some sense. Sun Quan not only persistently wanted to go to the battlefield, but also liked hunting, especially tiger hunting, and the excitement of being in danger. For this reason, she didn't know how many times she said, but Sun Quan agreed to it in person and forgot it when she turned around.

Mrs. Wu sighed softly, not wanting to continue the topic. She turned around and asked someone to turn over an exquisite brocade box and called Xu Hua again. "This is the fan just sent by the Xie family. It is said that it was a new product that was just tried. Some trials were sent everywhere. Sun's family has a mourning, so I can't use it for the time being. I will reward you."

Xu Hua took the brocade box and opened it. A strong fragrance of flowers overflowed, making people feel refreshed, as if walking in the blooming sea of ​​flowers in spring. Xu Hua was happy in his heart and shouted softly: "It smells so fragrant, what's the name of this powder?"

"Xie Fuchun."

Xu Hua asked Mrs. Sun for instructions and happily accepted it. "Thank you for the reward."

"This child is getting more and more beautiful as he grows. After learning painting with Cai, he has added a bit of bookishness. I don't know which young man can marry you in the future. Unfortunately, Bo Fu does not agree with relatives, saying that it is easy to produce freaks. Otherwise, I really want to choose one for you among the children of the Sun family."

Xu Hua blushed and shyed, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. She had been worried that Mrs. Wu would want her to marry Sun Quan, and now she could finally feel at ease. But Mrs. Sun could understand in her heart, and she smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, Sun's family has a mourning, I shouldn't mention it. Since you have said it, I might as well say something more. The Sun family's children are not allowed, but the Wu family's children are always allowed. I think Zhongxiang (Wu Qi) is good. After following Bo Fu for more than half a year, he became more sensible. Besides, he is the same age as Ah Hua, and he is just a perfect match."

Mrs. Wu said, "If my sister thinks it's appropriate, I'll be a matchmaker when the funeral is over." She touched Xu Hua's face. "That boy Zhongxiang can marry you, but his blessing."

——

Sun Ce turned to look at Sun Shangxiang for a while, then looked at Xu Jie behind her, and smacked his lips.

"It's still my aunt's skillful methods."

"No, my aunt is the real woman's room, and we are not as good as her." Sun Shangxiang giggled. She solved a problem and mediated it by her military advisor Xu Jie, and she was very proud.

"Don't laugh, Ah Weng's coffin is still parked in Zijin Mountain, and it has not been buried." Sun Ce reminded in a low voice.

"Oh." Sun Shangxiang quickly put away her smile and showed a solemn expression. In fact, more than two months after receiving the news that Sun Jian was seriously injured, she had accepted the fact that her father had disappeared. Moreover, she rarely saw Sun Jian since she was born, and her impression of her father was far less cordial than that of her brother Sun Ce in front of her.

"Little sister, someone has mentioned your strategy."

"Who else is so smart?"

Sun Ce glared at her. Sun Shangxiang stuck out his tongue. "Low, low-key, be careful next time." Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, and took two steps forward before saying the plan proposed by Ju Su, and said that it was modified by King Wuling of Zhao back then. Sun Shangxiang was even happier when he heard it. Ju Su was a famous scholar in Hebei. The plan she discussed with Lu Xun and Xu Jie could be inconsistent with Ju Su's plan, which is a rare compliment.

"This plan is good, but there is a problem. It is very hard. Fighting on the grassland, it is often thousands of miles away, and it is not enough to rely on the supplies and supplies in the rear. In many cases, you can only rely on the battle to support the war, and you must be mentally prepared to endure hunger. The Hu people on the grassland are wolves. If you want to defeat them, you will be more stoic, tenacious and fierce than wolves. Only real warriors can withstand such tempering and shoulder such heavy responsibilities. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes." Sun Shangxiang blurted out and slapped her chest. "Who else can do it except me?"

Xu Jiexu clenched his fists, blocked his mouth, and coughed. Sun Shangxiang understood and quickly added: "Of course, Brother Wang is more suitable than me, but Brother Wang is a phoenix flying in the sky. How can he downgrade himself and compete with a group of coyotes? I'll do this kind of rough work."

Sun Ce snorted and said to Xu Jie: "Don't cough, just give me some advice. What have you gained these days?"

"Here." Xu Jiegong bowed. "These days, with the three generals, they listened to the wise and capable of analyzing the situation, and their horizons were wide open and they benefited a lot. In general, I agree with the plan of the military advisor Ju, first north and then south. Fighting for troops first, the northern border is high and there are many cavalry. After mastering the northern border, they will master the situation. At that time, attack Bingzhou, attack Guanzhong, and take advantage of the situation. However, the northern border is bitter and cold, and we have to rely on the money and food of the Central Plains, which requires the first stabilization of the Central Plains, especially Jizhou. Jizhou is newly settled, and people are uneasy and it is difficult to provide too much food in a hurry. It is better to slow down. Three or five years later, the people in Jizhou will recover and the people will be at peace, and it will not be too late to attack again."

"Didn't Jizhou face the attack from Bingzhou at any time in the past three to five years?"

"It is inevitable to strengthen defense, but the consumption is limited. First, Yan Wen is a native of Liangzhou, and may not be able to be in the same heart and virtue as Bingzhou; second, Liu Bei is in Hanoi, and he is looking at Bingzhou, and Yan Wen may not dare to go east; and even if the king does not send troops, he can also use other people to disturb Bingzhou, making Yan Wen exhausted. Just control the strength and don't let Liu Bei have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Who are the other powers you are talking about?"

"Zhang Baiqi of Baibo Valley and Zhang Yan of Heishan are all powers that can be used. They used to watch the wall before, because the situation was unclear, and they dared not place bets easily. Now the king has half of the world, and if they don't know what to do, they should be damned. Even if they want to preserve their strength, can their soldiers watch the people of Jizhou share the land and land without any intention? At the time, the Yellow Turbans started the business and wanted to revolutionize only a small number of people, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers just wanted to die because they had no place to stand. Now..."

As he was speaking, Hu Zong walked over quickly and bowed to the steps. "King, Luoyang sent a message, the Black Mountain Army envoy Zhang Fang and the Baibo Army envoy Yang Cheng requested entry."

Sun Ce smiled. Zhang Yan and Yang Feng were not stupid enough to do it. He was about to speak, but Hu Zong said again: "King, Duke Zhou sent a message that he has entered the capital. If he is fast, he will be tonight, and if he is slow, he will be to Jianye tomorrow."
