Chapter 1811 An Unexpected Gift
In the northeast corner of Wujun City, at the intersection of Dongjiaolou and Zhuque Road, is Sun Quan''s personal residence. This villa was originally used as Sun Quan''s personal residence before Sun Ce passed away. Therefore, even if Sun Quan became the current helm of Jiangdong, he did not completely forget about this place. Will come back here, it seems that only in this way can I enjoy some personal free time that belongs to Sun Quan.
In his early years, Sun Quan didn’t actually get much favor from Sun Jian, at least in Sun Quan’s impression. From a certain point of view, this is indeed the case. After all, the Sun family was not originally a family of poetry and books. Sun Jian himself also started with military exploits. It is naturally conceivable how much Sun Quan has achieved in scriptures. , and martial arts, compared with Sun Ce, it is simply scum...
Therefore, throughout Sun Quan''s childhood, Sun Quan was basically a foil, either as a foil for scholars or as a foil for martial arts practitioners, and what he always heard in his ears was what happened to other people''s children. So-and-so''s descendants are so good, but I seem to always be a second-class person, the object of dislike.
Under such an environment, Sun Quan gradually became a little reticent. Because Sun Quan knew that even if he said it, no one would listen, so he simply didn''t say anything. This habit has further affected Sun Quan''s behavior pattern, just like at the moment, even if he did it, he would not say it, admit it, or admit his mistake.
What''s more, Sun Quan thinks he is not wrong.
In the small pavilion in the backyard, Sun Quan sat alone, with a jug of wine and three bean dishes on the table.
The servants were all driven away by Sun Quan.
Sun Quan found it very annoying.
Can''t think of a way to make these guys in Jiangbei fight each other, do you have to wait for these people to unite in one place and then march south?
If you have a better strategy, then say it, everyone shakes their heads and says there is no way, wait and see, and then I will do something, and one by one ran over and said that you are wrong, that is not good...
"Snapped! 』
Sun Quan patted the table lightly, then picked up the wine bar, and drank it down.
It was like this back then, and it is still like this now. Even Zhang Zhao looked at him with eyes and expressions that seemed to be exactly the same as back then!
Sun Quan likes to drink, and also likes to observe the words and deeds of others after being paralyzed by alcohol. Sun Quan believes that only those hidden things that are revealed under the water of wine are real...
Because Sun Quan usually hides himself, he thinks that everyone is hiding in the same way.
Just like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, Sun Quan always thought that Zhang Zhao looked down on him.
Then the result of observation is that Zhang Zhao really looks down on himself...
It’s like this time’s friendly “argument” or “debate” with Zhang Zhao. Well, the process is not important. What’s important is that Zhang Zhao is teaching lessons from beginning to end, but he doesn’t have any suggestions!
In fact, it’s not that Zhang Zhao didn’t give suggestions, but that Sun Quan automatically ignored his suggestions, just as he thought Zhou Yu’s strategy of “keeping a low profile and saving energy” was incorrect, he also thought that Zhang Zhao''s plan of telling him to "do less and move less, and cure by doing nothing" is wrong.
Since it is wrong, why do you still listen?
So Sun Quan naturally thought that these guys would only beep beep instead of giving reasonable and appropriate advice...
If Sun Quan''s spirit is not high, or if he slowly settles down in ten or twenty years, he may follow Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao''s strategy peacefully, but the problem is that Sun Quan is very ambitious now, and he is just When the boy is full of energy, tell him to be quiet and do nothing, is it possible?
But the problem is that both Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao have ignored this point, because in Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao''s mind, they think that since Sun Quan has sat on the Jiangdong throne, he can''t just act on the spirit of a young man...
Therefore, there seems to be a grudge between each other, and slowly, this grudge is getting deeper and deeper, and it seems to be developing in the direction of a knot in the heart. Sun Quan also knew that it was not good to go on like this, but he still felt angrily that he was now the Lord of Jiangdong, even if he didn''t respect himself, he should give this position some respect!
Outside the courtyard gate, the old butler walked in slowly, holding a long and beautiful lacquer box in his hand.
Sun Quan frowned slightly, but he didn''t say anything, because he knew that if it wasn''t something important, the old housekeeper wouldn''t take the initiative to bring something without reporting it.
Sure enough, the old butler stopped about 20 steps outside the pavilion, and reported: "The governor of Zhou sent someone to bring the ancient sword of King Wu..."
『The ancient sword of King Wu? 』Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Yue was able to smelt quite famous swords, such as Ganjiang Moxie. It is said that it contained steel texture, so it suppressed other bronze swords at the same time. The specifics have been lost. Everyone knows, but one thing can be confirmed, as long as it is really a sword of Wu Yue, it is naturally quite rare.
Zhou Yu sent such an ancient sword of the King of Wu, what does it mean?
Sun Quan stood up subconsciously, wanting to take a look, but hesitated for a while, but did not take a step forward, and instead ordered the housekeeper to take the sword into the hall first...
As the saying goes, you can''t let "the sickness from the bottom go up", and you can''t let the "knowledge from the bottom go up".
However, Sun Quan, who sat down again and drank a few cups, couldn''t hold back his curiosity. Not long after, he finished drinking alone, and slowly returned to the hall with his hands behind his back. The long lacquer box with complicated patterns was opened.
In the lacquer box, lay a sword quietly.
The head of the sword is simple and simple, with some mottled rust, and two tassels hanging from it. The leather and hemp rope wrapped around the hilt seem to have been replaced, but it does not affect the overall look and feel, but has a heavy taste. The scabbard also looks like it was made later, with a black base and a frame in the shape of a Lilong outlined in gold and silver, which is in line with the usual aesthetics of the Han Dynasty, dignified and grand.
Sun Quan nodded slightly. Some ancient swords are completely corroded and unusable, but this one seems to be okay, not too rotten.
However, when Sun Quan picked up the long sword, he felt something was wrong.
Because the weight of this long sword seems to be a bit wrong, it is too light, and the center of gravity is not like other long swords, but is somewhat biased towards the hilt.
This…
Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, then slowly pushed the spring on the scabbard, and pulled it out little by little...
Firstly, two bird-shaped seal scripts were exposed, with complicated patterns. Although Sun Quan couldn''t recognize what they were, he knew that this was the bird-shaped seal script that was popular in the Chu and Yue areas during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, which also showed that this was indeed an ancient relic.
The cold light is gradually revealed, and the blood groove on the sword seems to be able to smell a bit of the cruel and **** atmosphere on the battlefield...
And then…
is gone.
It''s really gone, because the blade is only half, or strictly speaking, this should actually be a short sword, but it''s just covered with a long sword''s scabbard, so when Sun Quan drew half of it, he suddenly When he broke away, Sun Quan was stunned on the spot.
This is obviously a dagger!
Sun Quan frowned.
Although it looks like this short sword is really good in terms of appearance, the cold light, the simple shape and decorative patterns also prove that it belongs to the best product of the earlier era, but the question is, why use a long sword? The scabbard to hold it?
Sun Quan squinted his eyes, looked inside the scabbard, turned it over again, and dumped it on the floor. There was nothing... no note, no interlayer, just a long and gorgeous scabbard.
Long scabbard, short sword.
Sun Quan looked at the sword in his right hand and then at the scabbard in his left hand, frowning.
Suddenly, Sun Quan understood Zhou Yu''s meaning, jumped up immediately, angrily raised his dagger and slashed at the table in front of him, as if the table in front of him was his enemy!
The still-sharp dagger was inserted into the table with a sound of "Du"!
Sun Quan couldn''t let go of his anger, he drew his dagger and made a few more blows until he chopped the table case full of scars...
The guards outside the hall heard a strange noise, shouted and asked, and rushed over, searching around like an enemy, but saw nothing...
Sun Quan took a few breaths and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! nothing, nothing! Zhou Dudu sent the sword, and on a whim, I took this case to test the sword... Everyone, stand down... By the way, let someone change another table...』
The guards naturally wouldn''t ask Sun Quan why he used a desk table to test the sword, why he didn''t use a straw target, etc. stupid questions, since Sun Quan said so, then that''s it. So after giving the salute, he retreated slowly, and then called for an attendant to change the table.
Sun Quan held the sheathed short sword like an ordinary long sword, "Come here... send a message to Zhou Dudu...just say that XX... I like it very much, I like it very much... Thank you Zhou Dudu for your trouble." it''s..."
…_(:з」∠)_…
Sun Quan received a rather unexpected gift, and Fei Qian in Chang''an also received a gift packaged from Jizhou.
Of course, Fei Qian has not seen the quality of the gift, but only got the news that Kuai Ma sent it in advance. People are still on the road, and it will take some time to reach Chang''an.
The Zhen family also had a lot of business dealings with Feiqian''s caravan before, so the Taihang Mountain Road is no stranger to the Zhen family. Naturally, it is impossible for Cao Jun to turn his face immediately and take the opportunity to arrest people and attack the city or something, so the Zhen family and others sneaked out, turned into the Taihang Mountains, passed Shangdang and traveled to Chang''an.
What''s wrong?
Why did you send it here?
I''m not Boss Cao!
Feiqian complained.
『...Its shape is as graceful as a frightened bird, graceful as a swimming dragon. Rongyao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like a flowing wind..." This was written by that little brat Cao Zhi. Of course, for Fei Qian now, Cao Zhi is indeed a brat.
But the question is, if there is no Zhen Mi, will there still be "Luo Shen Fu" that has been passed down through the ages?
Of course, some people in later generations said that Cao Zhi did not write it for Zhen Mi, but to express his ideals and aspirations, and to express his feelings through the scenery.
But whether there is or not, Cao Zhi must not see Zhen Mi this time.
Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
The more Fei Qian thought about it, the more confused he became.
But Fei Qian couldn''t figure it out clearly, but Pang Tong did. He laughed twice, shook his sleeves and said, "This is the intention of the gentry in Jizhou to seek refuge!" 』
Pang Tong further explained: "From all over Jizhou, there are many people from the Yuan family. Now Cao Sikong is going against the north. Although he said that the past should not be blamed, but...hehe, so this time he used this name, and it is also Cao Sikong who seeks balance... 』
Having said that, Fei Qian generally understands a little bit.
After all, when Yuan Shao was gaining momentum, the Jizhou gentry, no, most of the gentry children in the world believed that the Yuan family was invincible, so it was inevitable that they bet more on the Yuan family. Just like Yingchuan back then, they split off, some followed Yuan Shu, some followed Yuan Shao, and now the Yingchuan faction headed by Xun Yu, who followed Cao Cao, was a minority among this group.
After Cao Cao counterattacked Jizhou, although he declared on the surface that he would not be held accountable for the Jizhou gentry who supported Yuan Shao''s attack on Yanzhou before, no one can guarantee that Cao Cao will not be held accountable now, nor will he turn over old accounts in the future, so prepare an extra way. One more option is better than no option at all.
Therefore, today, when Feiqian''s reputation is getting stronger and stronger, it is undoubtedly the best choice for the Jizhou gentry. Even though these people knew that Yuan Xi might not have reached any agreement with Feiqian, nor had he completely turned to Feiqian, but it did not prevent these Jizhou gentry from coming to communicate and negotiate with Feiqian in this name.
『Well...』 Fei Qian nodded. Although he agreed with Pang Tong’s idea, he still had some doubts in his heart. Although it made sense to say so, why should Zhen Shi come instead of other people?
For Feiqian, a half-water gentry, or a gentry actor, Pang Tong, a native of the gentry, understands some of the internal thinking logic of the gentry better. For the gentry, in fact, in many cases, once a conflict arises, the first thing to consider is how to exchange interests. In the process of exchange, the interests of the entire family are reflected. hands on.
"Come with the Zhen family, it''s a sign of sincerity..." Pang Tong guessed what Fei Qian was thinking, and continued to explain, "If it''s someone else, it may not be suitable for the first time. After all, the Zhen family has a little contact with the lord. Second, what? Hehe, when Yuan Benchu ??was alive, the Zhen family almost controlled the business affairs in Yecheng, if it fell into the hands of Cao Sikong...hehe...』
Pang Tong smiled.
Fei Qian suddenly realized, so it is! Historically, after Cao Cao entered Yecheng, he seemed to rush straight to the Zhen family''s house in a hurry, maybe there were some elements, but more of it should be that Cao Cao wanted to control the wealth left by Yuan Shao in the first place...
As a result, Cao Pi cut him off. So, at that time, Cao Pi was already paving the way for his future development? After all, if you want to win the election, how can you do it without a huge campaign fund?
Think about how old Cao Pi was at that time? Sixteen, seventeen? And what was he doing when he was seventeen?
Fei Qian sighed slightly, expressing his acquiescence.
Well, it would be nice to meet.
Fei Qian thought, speaking of this Three Kingdoms era, what kind of person is Zhen Mi who has the attribute of a small treasury?
