Chapter 2548 Pang Tong’s plan to release Sun Ce?


    Chapter 2545: Pang Tong’s plan to release Sun Ce?


    After being interfered by Jia Xu, Sima Yi exposed his identity and had to temporarily surrender to Sun Quan.


    But because Sima Yi was a secret spy from Chu State, Sun Quan trusted Sima Yi so much now.


    Sun Quan only planned to let Sima Yi be by his side and be a strategist, and give him advice. It is impossible to give Sima Yi greater power.


    Sima Yi knew this very well, but he couldn''t accept it.


    In order to win the trust of Sun Quan again and save his life, Sima Yi could only tell Sun Quan what he knew, the intelligence network he had built in Wu for many years, and he would like to treat it as a letter of true support for his resignation.


    In addition, Sima Yi also played a Mission Impossible while the Chu State was still unaware of the situation and cooperated with Sun Quan to catch all the spies from Chu State in one fell swoop.


    That is the intelligence network that Chu State had spent countless financial and manpower to form in Wu State over the years, but was destroyed by Sima Yi alone. Therefore, the whole country of Chu State is now so angry that it is itchy for Sima Yi.


    After hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Xiu was silent for a long time and said, "Are you betrayal? Maybe.


    Sima Yi looked at the eagle and was born with a rebellious heart. He had never really been loyal to someone. It was just that our Chu State could make him revenge, so he was loyal to our Chu State.


    The reason why I am betrayed now is that after being exposed, I have to do so in order to protect myself. ”


    Liu Xiu was puzzled as to why Sima Yi exposed this.


    Sima Yi has completely trusted Sun Quan. It is impossible for Sun Quan to take the initiative to doubt it. Even if he doubts, there is no evidence. So how did Sun Quan know Sima Yi''s identity?


    "Lord, no matter what Sima Yi has, he has let the 436 secret spies in Chu die in vain in order to protect himself. This is an indisputable fact. If he is not held accountable, wouldn''t those secret spies die in vain?" Liu Ba Yilina said angrily.


    "That''s right, and Sima Yi is both civil and military, and Sun Quan has assisted him. It is undoubtedly difficult for our Chu State to completely annex Wu State. I believe that assassins should be sent to assassinate Sima Yi." Liao Li said in a statement.


    In response to this, Liu Xiu couldn''t help but fall into deep thought, but after a long time he shook his head and said, "This matter is inappropriate, assassination is a minor path.


    Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, even if it really succeeds, it will not be of much use.


    It is better to wait and see if Sun Quan is in power, nor can it add a city and a pool to our Chu State.


    Sima Yi is a smart person and should know that with Sun Quan''s ability, he will never take revenge in his life.


    Therefore, if he had no choice but to surrender, he would definitely try to contact me next. ”


    "The lord is right, but no matter whether Sima Yi surrenders or not, you must be careful when contacting this poisonous snake. Our State of Chu cannot be bitten by it." Kuai Liang said.


    Liu Xiu and Kuai Liang both said this, and Liu Ba Liao Li and others had no choice but to suppress the assassination of Sima Yi first.


    Pang Tong stood up again at this time and said, "Lord, since Sun Quan has succeeded to the throne and has become the new King of Wu, then Sun Ce will have little effect in our hands. Instead, it is better to let him go.


    Although Sun Quan became the King of Wu, his status was not consolidated. There were still many people in the Wu army who were Sun Ce’s confidants, and Sun Ce still had the strength to fight against Sun Quan.


    Besides, Sun Jian’s death is full of doubts. If Sun Ce goes back, how could he not investigate clearly?


    There will be a loss when two tigers fight each other. Our Chu State just needs to sit and watch the fight between Wu and be able to win the profits. ”


    Although Sun Quan did almost perfectly and did not leave any substantial evidence, the top leaders of various countries were not fools, and they could see that it was


    Hearing Pang Tong''s words, Liu Xiu''s eyes lit up and he said with a smile:


    "What the military advisor said is that Sun Ce can only be an impossible prisoner in the hands of our Chu State. He has no effect other than that, but returning to Wu State can aggravate the conflicts in Wu State.


    But after all, Sun Ce took great effort to catch it. Even if he wanted to let him go back, he would not be released in vain. Wu always had to pay some price. ”


    “Lord, this is not difficult.


    Sun Jian always wanted to redeem Sun Ce when he was still alive. Although Sun Quan has succeeded to the throne, he lacks prestige. The whole country of Wu is watching his every move. In order to win over Sun Ce''s old subordinates, he has always been trying his best to rescue him.


    The Wu Kingdom did not agree before, because our release conditions were too high. Now we will demand a lowering point as long as the Wu Kingdom returns its original territory.


    This request is not an exaggeration. If Sun Quan refuses to agree and instead sits on the custody of his brother but remains indifferent, it is that he is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and deliberately does not want Sun Ce to come back.


    If this is true, Sun Quan will definitely lose his reputation and his position as King Wu will be unstable. Then we will not suffer any loss if we release Sun Ce. ”


    "What the military advisor says is very true, just do what the military advisor says."


    "No."


    The State of Chu took the initiative to lower its demand to release Sun Ce, which caused an uproar in the State of Wu.


    The State of Chu took the initiative to lower the negotiation requirements and no longer wanted the State of Wu to ced the three counties of Yuzhang and Lujiang. As long as the State of Wu returned its original territory, that is, the six cities of Juchao, Wan County, Xunyang, Tongxiang, Zhu County, and Qichun.


    This is much more sincere than the previous conditions.


    When Sun Ce''s old subordinates learned that Chu was willing to release Sun Ce and only needed to retreat to the six cities including Wan County, they wrote letters to Sun Quan, hoping that Sun Quan could agree to Chu''s request and save Sun Ce.


    Sun Quan naturally did not want Sun Ce to come back, but in order to win people''s hearts, his attitude towards the outside world has always been focusing on actively rescuing Sun Ce.


    Now the State of Chu has taken the initiative to lower the requirements, and the conditions are not excessive. If Sun Quan was unwilling to exchange, he would be really guilty and deliberately did not want Sun Ce to come back.


    Sun Quan neither wanted the prestige he had finally established collapsed, nor did he want his elder brother Sun Ce to come back to threaten his position. He could not help but fall into a dilemma for a moment, and could only discuss it with Sima Yi and Bu Zhi.


    "Zhongmou, the eldest son must not come back now."


    Bu Zhi said with a serious look, and Sima Yi nodded in agreement.


    After all, Sun Quan has just succeeded to the throne, and it is the most critical period for establishing his prestige. If he waited for a year or two, and after Sun Quan took full control, even if Sun Ce came back, he would not pose a threat to Sun Quan.


    But now that Sun Quan has not yet taken full control, if Sun Ce comes back, it will definitely pose a great threat to Sun Quan.


    "I naturally know that my elder brother can''t come back now, but the key is how can I prevent my elder brother from coming back?" Sun Quan said with annoyed expression. This time, Chu State hit him on his fatal hole, and letting him advance is neither a retreat nor a retreat.


    For Sun Quan, whether to save Sun Ce or not, it cannot be considered a benefit.


    Saving Sun Ce is causing trouble for himself.


    If you don’t save Sun Ce, your image and prestige that you have worked **** will collapse in one move.


    No matter which point it is, it is difficult for Sun Quan to accept, and he has realized Liu Xiu''s excellence.


    Since there are differences, you can only choose one that has the least impact on you.


    After thinking about it, Sun Quan only thought of a way to delay. He must save Sun Ce, but he must delay it until he is completely in power as much as possible, so that the impact of saving Sun Ce back to the country can be minimized.


    As for how to delay, Sun Quan also had plans in his mind. Since someone supported the rescue, there would definitely be people who opposed it. Let these people argue with Sun Ce’s old subordinates, the longer the quarrel, the better.


    After hearing Sun Quan’s thoughts, Bu Zhi nodded immediately and said, but Sima Yi shook his head and rejected it.


    "Does Mr. Zhong Da think this method is not working?" Sun Quan asked.


    "This method will be delayed for several days at most, but it will not take half a year. In the end, you must make a decision, lord." Sima Yi said.


    "Sir, can you have a solution?" Sun Quan asked again.


    Sima Yi was silent for a moment and said, "The best way is to find Sun Ce''s detention location before the negotiations are over so that he can never return to Wu."


    "I also need to know that this method is done once and for all, but it is not easy." Sun Quan sighed lightly.


    It was not that he had thought of getting rid of Sun Ce, but in order to protect Sun Ce, the State of Chu had long transferred Sun Ce to unknown where he had long been.


    Now that Sun Quan doesn’t even know where Sun Ce is locked up, how can he get rid of it?


    "I know that there is a place in Chu State that is specifically used to detain important prisoners, and perhaps Sun Ce was detained here." Sima Yi said.


    "Where is it?" Sun Quan asked hurriedly.


    “South of Hepu County, Jiaozhou, there is an isolated island called Zhuyazhou, which is lonely and hanging overseas, and many resolute criminals of the Chu State were detained.


    The lord should send some dead soldiers to try their luck. It is naturally the best to find Sun Ce. If you can’t find it, you can only think of another way. "Sima Yi said.


    "That''s all." Sun Quan sighed. After all, there was no other way.


    The next morning, the civil and military officials of Wu were divided into two groups.


    Take Sun Ce’s old subordinates and civil officials promoted by Sun Ce as a group, and support the conditions of agreeing to Chu State to rescue Sun Ce


    The Jiangdong family headed by Bu Zhi and the generals who were eager to Sun Quan were another group of people who opposed the cede of land and redemption of Sun Ce.


    Those who support it argue that the conditions of Chu were already more sincere, and that the six cities including Wan County were given up to exchange for Sun Ce, which was completely within the scope of Wu''s tolerance.


    Those who oppose it believe that the Wu State attacked Chu many times, but they had not yet obtained any inch of land. Now they have sacrificed tens of thousands of troops, and finally captured the six cities including Wan County and attacked Jiangxia. If they give up at this time, they will be sorry for the soldiers who died in battle.


    Both sides held their own opinions and had a quarrel. The palace seemed to have become a vegetable market, but no one could tell anyone.


    Sun Ce''s old subordinates saw so many officials opposed it and knew that there was someone behind them, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have such a unified caliber. In desperation, they could only ask Wu Guotai to be fair.


    Wu Guotai was also a tough woman. When he learned that Chu had taken the initiative to lower the conditions for releasing people, he was very happy that his eldest son would definitely come back, but he didn''t expect that more than half of the officials in the court would object, so he went to court with a dragon-headed crutch and saw someone opposing the redemption of Sun Ce and beat him with a crutch.


    Wu Guotai has a special status. No matter whether it is civil or military, the opposition dares to resist, so they are beaten to the point of being blue and swollen.


    After the Wu Kingdom beat the ministers, he was still unhappy and turned to scold Sun Quan for being unfilial. He persecuted his brother as soon as his biological father died.


    Sun Quan was insulted by his biological mother in public and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. He could have tried his best to delay before, but in this case he had to express his opinion. So after a fake discussion, he made a decision in public to make the decision to let his elder brother Sun Ce, but in fact he just wanted to stabilize his mother.


    Wu Guotai saw that Sun Quan agreed to redeem Sun Ce, so he left satisfied. However, he did not expect that Sun Quan was just talking, but in fact there was no movement at all.


    Seeing this, Wu Guotai knew that Sun Quan would never save Sun Ce, so he protested by taking a hunger strike.


    If Sun Quan does not save his brother Sun Ce, she will starve to death, causing Sun Quan to be guilty of being unfilial.


    Wu Guotai''s hunger strike completely forced Sun Quan to a dead end, and at this moment Sun Wu also returned to the country.


    Sun Wu directly expressed his support for rescuing Sun Ce, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the opposition.


    More than half of the people in the country support the rescue of Sun Ce. If Sun Quan still insists on inaction, it will only disappoint those who originally supported him and eventually end up being betrayed by everyone.


    Therefore, Sun Quan could only agree to the conditions of Chu State and agreed to withdraw from the six cities including Wan County and redeem Sun Ce.


    This rescue dispute allowed Sun Quan to see the influence of Sun Ce, and he was even more afraid of his elder brother, and he placed his hope on the killer sent to Zhuyazhou.


    But Sun Quan''s plan failed again. Soon after, the Chu State heard that Sun Ce was about to be released, and none of the killers sent back returned.


    Obviously they all died in Zhuyazhou.
