Chapter 2654 Sun Bofu Jianye captured Sun Quan in a coup


    Chapter 2651: Sun Bofu captured Sun Quan in a coup


    Jianye, located in Danyang County, was originally named Moling.


    Moling is not the capital of Danyang County. Danyang Capital is actually Wanling (now Xuanzhou, Anhui). Moling was originally just a small county town with a population of nearly 10,000, and its political status has never risen.


    It was not until Sun Jian occupied Moling that Moling gradually flourished under his vigorous governance, but in terms of population and economy, it was not as good as the second child in Danyang County, let alone the boss Dawanling.


    Before Sun Jian claimed to be king and established the Wu Kingdom, he solicited capital options from his ministers. Most of them proposed to use Wanling as the capital, but Sun Jian felt that Wanling''s location was too biased and had no imperial spirit, so he was not suitable as a capital of a country.


    In addition to Wanling, Wuxian (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), the capital of Wu County, is also qualified as a capital, but Sun Jian still feels that Wuxian is not in a good position.


    In the end, Sun Bin proposed to use Moling as the capital, and this proposal was opposed by most of the senior executives of Sun Wu.


    Although Moling developed rapidly at that time, its population was still less than 100,000. Taking such a small city as its capital would really hurt the face of Wu.


    But after some consideration, Sun Jian went against the opposition and adopted Sun Bin''s proposal, set the capital in the ordinary Moling, and changed it to Jianye, taking it from the intention of making achievements.


    The name "Jianye" alone shows Sun Jian''s enterprising spirit.


    Facts have proved that Sun Bin has indeed good vision, and Jianye is the capital that is most suitable for Wu.


    After becoming the capital of Wu, Jianye''s development speed was just like a rocket. He surpassed Wanling in just one year, and then quickly surpassed Wu County.


    Today, Jianye is the largest city in Jiangnan, with a total population of 360,000, with developed government and business, and good public security. It is completely worthy of the evaluation of "the tiger lies in the dragon''s place and the beautiful sky".


    "Jianye, I, Sun Ce, are back."


    Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Sun Ce''s eyes were full of complexity. He looked at the city step by step, from a small broken county to the current capital, but the person who sat on the throne turned into someone else.


    "Bo Fu, it''s time to change defense, let''s enter the city first." Sun Bin said.


    Sun Ce nodded, and he made a fight for success or failure.


    According to Sun Bin''s plan, Sun Ce first pretended to be his guard, went deep into the tiger''s den with Sun Bin, and went alone to meet Zhu Caicai, the governor of Caishiji.


    Zhu Cai was Zhu Zhi''s second son. His father Zhu Zhi died in the battle in the Japanese conquest, and Zhu Cai was also valued by Sun Quan.


    There are 5,000 defenders in Caishiji, and they are about to change defenses with the defenders at the East Gate of Jianye, and Zhu Cai is the chief general of these 5,000 defenders.


    Zhu Cai and Sun Bin had a good personal relationship. When they saw Sun Bin bringing Wang Ling alone, they really thought it was Sun Quan who sent him, so they met Sun Ce and Sun Bin, and then they were captured alive by Sun Ce who suddenly attacked him without any ability to fight back.


    Sun Ce did not kill Zhu Cai, but wanted to instigate him to rebel.


    Although Sun Ce and Zhu Cai were not familiar with each other, his father Zhu Zhi and his brother Zhu Ran were both Sun Ce’s old subordinates.


    Although the Zhu family and Sun Ce have a close relationship, they are a Jiangdong family after all.


    Sun Ce must have been against Sun Quan when he came back this time, and Sun Quan represented the interests of the Jiangdong family, so Zhu Cai naturally could not stand on the opposite side of his family.


    No matter how coercive and tempted Sun Ce, Zhu Cai said he was unwilling to surrender.


    As for the fraudulent surrender, Zhu Cai had no idea. After all, in front of Sun Ce and Sun Bin, such a small method could not be hidden from them.


    "Young Master, please give Zhu Cai a good time."


    Zhu Cai was stammering his neck, looking at the stance of closing his eyes and begging for death, which made Sun Ce unable to do anything.


    "Bo Fu."


    Sun Bin''s stern voice came, and Sun Ce''s body suddenly shook, then closed his eyes and twisted Zhu Cai''s neck expressionlessly.


    After killing Zhu Cai, Sun Ce summoned all the middle and lower-level generals and schoolmen in Zhu Cai''s army on the grounds that he was about to change defense.


    When Sun Ce appeared in front of these people, everyone present was shocked.


    Zhu Cai is from the Jiangdong family, so he is unwilling to oppose Sun Quan, but there are a large number of civilians in the generals and schools under his command, and these people have long been dissatisfied with Sun Quan''s emphasis on the aristocratic family and cut off the promotion channels for civilians.


    When Sun Ce expressed his intention and hung Zhu Cai''s body as a deterrent, most people directly agreed.


    As for a very small group of opponents, Sun Ce did not need to take action by himself, and he was hacked to death by his supporters as a confession.


    By instigating these middle and high-level generals and officers, Sun Ce easily recruited 5,000 troops from Zhu Cai''s troops, and his troops reached 8,000.


    Later, Sun Ce took advantage of Zhu Cai''s turn to replace defense, took over the control of Jianye East Gate, and successfully entered Jianye City.


    After entering the city, Sun Ce immediately sent a small group of troops to set fire in Xicheng after disguising himself, and falsely spread news that the Ximen defenders mutiny. After transferring the palace''s defenders nearly half, he launched an offensive against the palace, which had only 20,000 defenders left.


    When eight thousand fully armed soldiers violated the ban in an open manner and marched towards the palace, all the people of Jianye along the way knew that something was going to happen.


    "Look, isn''t that the Crown Prince?"


    "You are really the prince. You are no longer the prince. You should be called the eldest son, but what are you doing with such murderous intent?"


    "Is it necessary to say that I must have come back to seize the throne."


    "If the eldest son becomes the King of Wu, he will definitely be better than Sun Erlang. I have long been unhappy with Sun Quan."


    Most of the people in Jianye are migrant refugees. Their current happy life is mainly due to Sun Jian''s wealth among the people and the support of poor families to suppress the aristocratic nationality. When Sun Jian was in power, he was already preparing to implement the imperial examination system. However, after Sun Quan ascended the throne, he not only did not adapt to the epidemic to promote the imperial examination, but instead monopolized the officialdom of the Wu Kingdom with a noble family, completely cutting off the promotion channels for civilians.


    Although the common people are ignorant, they also know who is harming their own interests, so Sun Quan has a very bad reputation among the common people.


    "Since Sun Quan ascended the throne, loyal ministers such as Sun Wu and Lu Su who made great contributions have been suppressed one after another. On the contrary, the children of aristocratic families such as Bu Zhi and Gu Hui who had not made a contribution were promoted for no reason, which was simply unreasonable."


    "Sun Quan is a villain, a wise minister, look at the deterioration of our Wu Kingdom in the past two years. If this continues, Qin Kingdom may be destroyed by Chu Kingdom before it can even be called."


    "Support the eldest son to be the King of Wu..."


    For coups, most people must close their doors and windows and hide far away, but the people of Jianye have reached the extreme of their disgust towards Sun Quan, so most people stand on Sun Ce''s side and support Sun Ce''s coupon seizing power as King Wu.


    This shows how unpopular Sun Quan is.


    Sun Ce heard most of the people around him supporting him along the way. Not only did he feel no excitement, but he also regretted it very much.


    Naturally, Sun Ce did not regret that he launched a coup, but that he regretted why he came back so late, so that Sun Quan would harm the good Eastern Wu in this way.


    Sun Bin just saw Sun Ce''s expression and guessed what Sun Ce was thinking, and immediately said, "Bo Fu, it''s not too late now. We still have a try. As long as we can defeat Sun Quan this time, Eastern Wu may be saved."


    "Well, the foundation that my father created after half his life''s hardships, but I, Sun Ce, did not allow it to be destroyed in Sun Quan''s hands."


    Sun Ce nodded and said that the most important reason why he agreed to launch a coup with Sun Wu and Sun Bing was the plan formulated by Sun Bin. If it went well, the success rate was not small.


    As long as this coup can be successful and Sun Quan is controlled in his hands, it will be possible to ensure that the Eastern Wu can pass the handover of rights smoothly in a very short period of time, and even if Chu invades Wu, it will not be afraid.


    As he was talking, a general of Wu led thousands of imperial guards to suppress the rebels, but he never expected that Sun Ce and Sun Wu were among the rebels.


    Sun Ce and Sun Wu had too high prestige among the Wu army. When the Wu army saw that there were two of them among the rebels, they did not dare to kill. Many soldiers were also dissatisfied with what Sun Quan did. As a result, they turned against each other under Sun Wu''s lobbying, so that Sun Ce and Sun Wu easily led their troops to the gate of the palace.


    Sun Yu, the governor of the Palace of the King of Wu, was shocked when he saw Sun Ce.


    “Big brother.”


    Sun Yu widened his eyes and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do.


    Sun Yu is Sun Jing''s second son. Sun Jing''s eldest son, Sun Jing died in battle in Japan. Sun Jing is old and becomes ill due to the death of his eldest son, and dies of illness shortly after Sun Jian''s death. So his title is inherited by his second son, Sun Yu.


    After Sun Quan ascended the throne, although he valued the aristocratic family, he did not treat the royal family unfairly.


    As the son of Sun Jing, Sun Yu was naturally valued by Sun Quan and was appointed General Fenwei, serving as the important task of guarding the palace.


    Sun Yu is not stupid, so he naturally knows that Sun Ce will fight for the throne with Sun Quan, and his relationship with Sun Ce and Sun Quan is not bad.


    After some trade-offs, Sun Yu decided to stand on Sun Quan''s side. He was not optimistic about Sun Ce. After all, Sun Quan is the King of Wu now and holds the military and political power of the Wu Kingdom. He also does not think that Sun Ce''s thousands of people can have a successful coup.


    "Brother, I''m sorry."


    A trace of guilt flashed in Sun Yu''s eyes, and then he shouted, "Send orders, shoot arrows..."


    Before he finished speaking, a sword was placed on Sun Yu''s neck from behind, and the sword holder was Sun Yu''s deputy general, Wu Fen, son of Sun Ce''s uncle Wu Jing.


    "Wu Fen, you are crazy, Zhongmou is sorry for you." Sun Yu shouted in disbelief.


    "Zhongmou did not regret me, but he was sorry to the old King of Wu, the great governor, and the entire Wu Kingdom. Wu Kingdom will only be destroyed in his hands, and only Bo Fu can revitalize Wu Kingdom."


    Wu Fen said coldly, then knocked Sun Yu directly and opened the city gate to welcome Sun Ce into the city.


    The first gate of the Wu Palace was that because Wu Fenqi turned to the light and took the initiative to open the city, Sun Ce entered the palace without any effort, but the second and third palace gates were not so easy to enter because the guards of these two palace gates were named Xie Yi and Sun Chuanting.


    Xie Yi and Sun Chuanting, one from the Xie family in Jiangdong, and the other is a relative of the Sun family. Both of them are also Sun Quan''s iron-kicks, so they naturally did not turn against each other, so the two sides naturally started a war.


    Sun Quan, who was in the Palace of Wu, felt very unfair when he learned that Sun Ce led the rebels in the city and was coming to the palace. After all, Sun Ce must have been secretly employed by the coup, and there must be many people in the country who pointed out him.


    After Sun Quan forced himself to calm down, he immediately ordered the dispatch of the garrison in Xicheng to suppress it, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by the people in the city and could not rescue the palace in a short period of time.


    Immediately afterwards, there was news that the first gate of the palace was broken and Sun Ce led his army into the palace.


    Now Sun Quan could no longer sit still and immediately prepared to run away. As a result, before he had time to run away, Sun Ce had already broken through two or three palace gates, killed Xie Yi, captured Sun Chuanting, and ran into Sun Quan who was about to run away.


    After seeing Sun Quan, Sun Ce said with a ferocious look on his face: "Second brother, long time no see, brother, I miss you so much."


    Seeing that Sun Ce was covered in blood, Sun Quan was frightened by Sun Ce''s murderous aura, and shouted with a pale face: "Hurry up, kill him."


    The general of the personal guard Ling Tong immediately took the order and shot out and fought with Sun Ce into a regiment, while Sun Bin could only command his soldiers to surround the guards and masters around Sun Quan.


    After nearly a thousand casualties, dozens of masters and hundreds of guards around Sun Quan were finally killed by Sun Bin and Sun Quan was easily captured alive by Huang Gai, and Ling Tong was also defeated and seriously injured by the angry Sun Ce.


    At this point, the basic trend has been decided.


    Sun Quan planned for several years before he took the power of the Wu Kingdom into his own hands, but it took Sun Ce and Sun Bin only half a day to destroy everything Sun Quan had and completely brought it back to its original form.
