Chapter 414: Three Kingdoms: Not Everyone is Prime Minister Zhuge
[Zhuge Ke learned from the envoys from Xincheng that Wei was under siege. If the soldiers defending the city could hold out for a hundred days without reinforcements, and surrender to the enemy, their families and relatives would not be punished...
Zhuge Ke knew it was a trick and ignored it. But when the Wei envoy was about to be killed, he shouted: "I hate it so much!"
Zhuge Ke was instantly attracted: "Wait a minute! Why would a dying man hate you?"
The Wei envoy said: "I hate the fact that the Grand Master is too smart, and I hate that Zhang Te is stupid and rude... If he doesn't surrender, he will die. If he surrenders, he will also die. This is what it means when an incompetent general kills thousands of soldiers!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Ke did not kill the Wei envoy for the time being. He also insisted on suspending the siege of the city despite Ding Feng's dissuasion.
A few days later, the Wu army was demoralized and many soldiers were sick. Ding Feng advised them to return. Zhuge Ke sent Ding Feng back to Jiangdong to raise troops, and he went ahead with the attack on the city.
However, due to the missed opportunity, the Wu army was defeated in the battle of Xincheng. Zhuge Ke felt ashamed and was afraid of being criticized, so he put the blame on his subordinates, who were either dismissed or beheaded.
＜Congratulations, the password is correct! As we all know, tactical laughter is the last life-saving skill.＞
＜Zhuge Ke always thought that his ability was better than his uncle's [狗头] Hot knowledge, Zhuge Ke's uncle was Zhuge Liang [吃瓜]＞
＜Zhuge Jin was cautious and prudent throughout his life, and never made a big mistake, but he ended up giving birth to such a vain son.＞
＜In fact, Zhuge Ke didn't need to care about the messenger's words at all. As long as he attacked the city, wouldn't the people and soldiers belong to Wu?＞
＜The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted!＞
＜Hefei is indeed the happy city of the Eastern Wu. Zhuge Ke’s army of 200,000 soldiers failed to capture it for more than 90 days.＞
＜Zhuge Ke is smart and capable, but he is arrogant and self-willed!＞
＜My god, Zhuge Ke just lost the battle, but he put the blame on his subordinates?! Too awesome, it really tarnishes the Zhuge family name! An incompetent general can tire out the entire army.＞
＜Zhuge Jin: If you don’t greatly improve my family, you will greatly discredit my clan! ＞
＜The Living Zhuge Liang pissed off Zhou Yu to death＞
[Zhuge Jin, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: I don't have such a son!]
[A certain strategist in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: These are all life-saving skills. Strategists can learn them, just in case they are useful in the future.]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Although they are both Zhuge, they are very different.]
[Guo Jia, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Zhang Te, who defended the city, was very capable. He held out for more than ninety days without any reinforcements, and even took the lead in defeating the opposing Wu army.]
……
Eastern Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Jian'an
Zhuge Jin felt too ashamed to face his lord at this moment.
He has always been cautious in his actions. After joining Sun Ce's army, although he has not made any great achievements, he has not made any big mistakes. I thought that I would be like this for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that I would have such a terrible son in the future!
"My Lord! It's Jin who failed to educate his son!" Zhuge Jin said sadly, "This child's willful behavior almost harmed the Wu Kingdom!"
Sun Ce helped him up and comforted him gently: "Zi Yu, don't blame yourself for something that didn't happen!"
After Zhuge Jin stood up, he still felt guilty. How could Zhuge Ke be the trusted minister? Could it be that because his brother Kong Ming did a good job as a trusted minister, he wanted to replicate the Dongwu version of the trusted minister?
"What's more, Zhongmou's mistake is even greater. I really can't understand why you, Zhongmou, are over seventy years old, and you let a young son inherit your position!" Sun Ce held his forehead and sighed. It was true that emperors would become confused as they lived longer.
Over there, Zhou Yu, Ding Feng and other generals gathered together to share the secret of longevity, and talked about whether what they currently knew about future events could be used.
Sun Quan glanced at them and then looked away. Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci both had short lives, so they did need to be taken care of. However, he could live to be over seventy years old, so he didn't need to worry about their short lives.
……
[Sun Liang, the King of Wu, Sun Jun, Sun Chen and Zhuge Ke feasted together.
Sun Chen left the table on the pretext of something and led his executioners to rush towards the hall. Zhuge Ke was beheaded by Sun Chen with a single sword strike.
Not long after Zhuge Ke was executed, Sun Jun died of illness, and Sun Chen took over the administration and monopolized power.
In the third year of Taiping, 258 AD, Sun Liang and Princess Quan plotted to get rid of Sun Chen, but the plot was leaked and he was deposed as King of Kuaiji. Sun Chen supported Sun Quan's sixth son, Sun Xiu, as emperor. Sun Chen was appointed prime minister, and five marquises of the Sun family were in charge of the imperial guards.
Sun Xiu also teamed up with the old general Ding Feng to plot with the swordsman to get rid of Sun Chen. After Sun Quan's death, the court of the Eastern Wu suffered a series of turmoil, but it was stabilized with the assistance of the old minister Ding Feng.
＜Dongwu should really apply for the World Heritage List for the Axe Master [laughing and crying] After so many years, he still remembers his original intention! ＞
＜After Zhuge Ke's defeat, the Zhuge lineage was wiped out in the Wu Kingdom.＞
＜From here on, I feel that things are changing. Isn’t what is happening now the same as the story at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? !＞
＜Sun Xiu was a pretty good emperor of the Eastern Wu, but unfortunately he died young.＞
＜Sun Liang: Sun Chen has been so dominant for so long, we cannot tolerate him for long!＞
＜From this perspective, Ji Han’s internal affairs are simply the cleanest among the Three Kingdoms, not so messy.＞
＜It's a bit sad that in the end, the Wu Kingdom only had Ding Feng left who had to lead the army to fight and give advice to help the emperor regain power. Alas.＞
＜Yes, I was a guard under Zhou Lang back then, and now I have become the mainstay. Time flies!＞
＜I declare this episode to be the highlight moment of Dongwu Swordsman.＞
＜Not all ministers are Zhuge Kongming, who are high in position but do not bully their master.＞
＜If our Cao family also had a Ding Feng, we wouldn't have been robbed by Sima.＞
＜The Sun brothers were descendants of Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing, but Sun Xiu erased them from the family tree. When Sun Xiu was in power, Shu Han fell, and he died of depression.＞
[Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao: After waiting for so long, the executioner finally took action [covering face]]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Oh, how unfair! Even the Sun family has loyal ministers...]
[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: ??? What do you mean! Do you look down on us?! Humph, some people can only complain. It's not pleasant to watch their kingdom and family property being taken away, right?! [Eating melons]]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Humph, these are things that will never happen! I just feel a little sad that Zhuge Kongming is indeed a clear stream in this turbidity.]
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Don’t be too envious of us, hahaha.]
[Zhuge Liang, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Oh? I guess I should thank Boss Cao for his compliment.]
[Ding Feng, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Fortunately, fortunately, I can still share the Lord's worries in my old age!]
……
Eastern Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Jian'an
"Chengyuan is still strong despite his old age!" Sun Ce turned around to look at Ding Feng, only to see that Ding Feng's face was slightly red because of the compliment from Guangmu.
"I am just one guard, I dare not, I dare not..." Ding Feng said modestly.
"Hahaha, why not?" Zhou Yu smiled, looking even more gentle, "What the light screen said is right, people accumulate experience, and there will always be a day to rise up in the future."
Sun Ce did not delve into the matter of his uncle Sun Jing's descendants trying to usurp the throne. He had just told Zhuge Jin that there was no need to blame himself for something that had not happened, so he would naturally not blame his uncle anymore.
...
Caoying outside Yecheng
Cao Cao took a sip of wine and shook his head, sighing, "There is no need for Zhuge Kongming. If there is an old general like Ding Feng, the Sima family would not have usurped power so easily."
After comparing the days of Wei, Shu and Wu, Cao Cao finally discovered that although Shu seemed to be the weakest, they had the least troubles.
"Fengxiao, Zhongde, Gongda, Wenruo... I wish you all a long life. I trust you very much."
Cao Cao's words moved all his advisers, who immediately expressed their eternal loyalty to the Cao family.
It’s not about how powerful Ding Feng is, but he played a key role in helping Sun Xiu kill the powerful minister!
