When Sun Quan left the cabin, he was blown by the wind. His mind, which was already a little swelling, became a little clearer. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the mountains in the distance.

Under the sunset, the clouds and mist above Wushan are illuminated by the sunset, like fire and clouds, brilliant and dazzling.

But Sun Quan shivered and was very upset.

How could I boast about such a loud voice?

Although the main force of the Shu army was far away in Wu County, there were not many people near Yiling, at most they were cruise ships and scouts. However, when they first entered the river, the terrain and water conditions were not familiar with the enemy, and when they encountered the enemy in a hurry, who could guarantee that they would win?

Small-scale battles are too accidental.

Alas, when it comes to adapting to the situation, I am still not as good as my brother. After enduring it for so long, I still fall into his trap.

Sun Quan smiled bitterly, paced back and forth for two steps, thinking about whether to go back or not. But when he thought about it, he slammed his palms and regretted it, and he would definitely be laughed at by others. Forget it, I'd better wait for two days and find a chance to talk about it.

"King, are you?" Pei Qian came out of the cabin and saw Sun Quan wandering at the stairs. He couldn't hide for a while, so he had to go forward and salute.

Sun Quan glanced at Pei Qian, smiled politely, and let him beside him. When he was acting in government affairs, he met Pei Qian every day, but he couldn't talk about friendship. Pei Qian and Wang Can had the best relationship, and he was not very close to him, which was just a nod.

Pei Qianhan nodded with a smile and hurriedly passed by.

Seeing Pei Qian turning around and disappearing from sight, Sun Quan suddenly felt aroused in his heart. "Wenxing, please stay."

Pei Qian stopped and his body remained motionless. He turned around and glanced at Sun Quan with a puzzled look. Seeing that Sun Quan walked towards him, he was greeting him without a doubt, so he quickly turned around and bowed again.

"What are the instructions of the king?"

"Can Gu tell you?" Sun Quan looked at Pei Qian with a smile.

Pei Qian smiled. "The king is so serious. As long as he does not violate the law or the etiquette and morality, if the king gives him an order, he should follow it."

"really?"

"Naturally take it seriously."

Sun Quan laughed. "Where is Wenxing going?"

Pei Qian's eyes flashed slightly. "I'll have a rest tomorrow. I plan to go to Qianying to find Jia Liangdao, have a few drinks, and ask about the situation in my hometown."

"Let's leave now?"

Pei Qian looked up at the sky. "Although the value has not been paid yet, it's almost there."

"If Wenxing doesn't dislike you, I will take you there for a ride, what if I do?"

Pei Qiangong bowed. "The king was joking. Qian couldn't ask for it, so how dare he dislike it?"

Sun Quan reached out and patted the railing. "I waited for you on the boat for two minutes. If Wenxing can't hurry, we will go with us. If we can't hurry, forget it." After that, he raised his hand and turned around.

Pei Qian stood aside and watched Sun Quan's figure disappear on the side of the side. The smile on his face dissipated, and there was a little helplessness. Although Sun Quan spoke lightly and had no intention of coercion, he could not refuse, otherwise he would inevitably have thoughts if he fell into the ears of the emperor.

Although the emperor was unwilling to lead the army, he had a deep affection. He would not tolerate his ministers being rude to Sun Quan, and might even deliberately increase the punishment to serve as a warning. Sun Quan's voice was so loud that he wanted to let the emperor on Feilu hear it, making him unable to refuse.

He could even guess what Sun Quan wanted to do, and of course the emperor could guess, but it was unlikely that the emperor would come forward to stop him.

Pei Qian stood for a moment, hoping that someone would come out to rescue the situation, such as suddenly having official duties, so that he could stay with justice. But there was nothing, and the flying hut was quiet, even the footsteps were much lighter. He sighed secretly, went down into the cabin, cleaned up briefly, and got off the boat.

Sun Quan was waiting alone in the cabin, with two pairs of wine utensils placed on the table in front of him. Sun Quan poured himself and drank himself, feeling at ease. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and looked at him, reaching out to signal Pei to sneak into the seat.

"Wenxing came so fast, I thought Wenxing would not come."

Pei Qian sat down and picked up the wine glass. "Qian can't bear this statement from the king. I would like to apologize to the king with this wine."

"What is the crime of Wenxing?"

"Although I don't know what the crime is, I must be guilty." Pei Qian raised his glass of wine, drank it all, and then filled it with wine. He drank three glasses in a row, and finally showed the bottom of the glass to Sun Quan. "Master, can the crime be forgiven?"

Sun Quan laughed loudly and drank the wine in his glass. "It seems that the people of Hedong are still a little different from the people of Kanto."

Pei Qian pretended not to know, picked up the wine pot, filled Sun Quan with wine, and added himself. He raised his glass again. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Quan smiled and said, "Wenxing drinks slowly, the water in the river is urgent, and it is not safe to be drunk. Although Wenxi is by the river, Wenxing is humble and gentleman, but he may not have many opportunities to go into the water to play when he was a child."

Pei Qian was stunned and then embarrassed. He did have this idea, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan would reveal it in one sentence.

"With the king here, why is Qian afraid of it?" Pei Qian counterattacked. "I heard for a long time that the king is not only skilled in martial arts but also familiar with water. He will never watch Qian drown and die, right? There are many people who see Qian boarding the throne ship."

Sun Quan laughed again, raised his wine glass, leaned over, and touched Pei Qian. With a "ding" sound, the two of them drank a glass together.

Taking advantage of Pei Qian's time to add wine, Sun Quan grabbed a handful of dried fruits and said while peeling them: "No matter how skilled martial arts and how good the water is, they are just the courage of ordinary men and cannot be considered a general. Needless to say, the elder brother is born a saint, and he has the power without learning, and he is beyond the reach of the lonely world. Even those two younger brothers and sisters are far beyond the lonely. In this life, the lonely will not be able to catch up."

Pei Qian remained silent, but felt a little strange in his heart. He had been with the emperor for not having a short time. He knew that Sun Quan had always regarded himself as a minister in front of the emperor and rarely involved the righteousness of brothers. Of course, there was no problem. It was not a bad thing to be a monarch and minister in the court, a brother at home, and it was not a bad thing to distinguish between public and private. But now Sun Quan called the emperor the emperor's brother in front of him, obviously a little deliberate.

Yes, no matter what, they are brothers after all. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with Sun Quan, he will not be able to cut off his bloodline, otherwise he would not have made concessions to Sun Quan again and again.

"Speaking of this, of course, it has something to do with talent." Sun Quan picked up the wine glass again, signaled Pei Qian, and took a sip. "The two younger brothers and sisters are already talented, and they have been learning literature and martial arts with the emperor since childhood. They were cultivated by the emperor. At that time, Gu was frivolous and did not know that the emperor's brother had done his best, and they did not follow the advice of the emperor's brother and took some detours."

Sun Quan smiled bitterly twice, drank the wine in the glass, and then slapped heavily on the desk, sighing: "I will suffer myself, and I can't blame anyone."

Pei Qian reached out and added a lot of wine to Sun Quan. "The king doesn't have to blame himself too much. If you are not frivolous, who has not had a time to be ignorant of the world? Qian was also a naughty back then, and his younger brothers were no exception, and he was punished a lot. Even the Right Protector, I heard that he had acted recklessly in the Battle of Guandu, and almost killed his life. Fortunately, the Marquis of Ye saved his life."

"What Wenxing says is that people have their youth. But once they miss the opportunity, they don't know when the next time. Gu's frivolity made Gu miss the best opportunity. The Battle of Yizhou is the last battle to pacify the world. No matter what, Gu cannot miss it."

Pei Qian felt a little turbulent. He understood Sun Quan's regret because he had the same regret. He made a mistake at the beginning and was tempted by Sima Yi, so he did not return to Wu in time and took a detour. Although he has become the Shangshu, he has no chance to make contributions. He can only slowly endure the qualifications and wait for the opportunity to be released.

Not only him, but also Jia Kui and Wei Ji. They do not have the strength of the Wang family in Taiyuan and cannot reach the top in one step like Wang Ling. They are even better than Wu Qiuxing, who is supported by Mr. Jia Xu and is promising under the command of the Grand Commander of Anxi.

This is why he wanted to go to the front army to find Jia Kui. This is the last opportunity to strive for some contributions and lay a solid foundation for the future. If Jia Kui can go farther and stand higher, he will be able to support them a little in the future.

Perhaps... Jia Kui can cooperate with Sun Quan?

Pei Qian suddenly felt a little moved in his heart and understood what Sun Quan meant. He also heard about Sun Quan's state in the front army. Although Zhu Huan was protecting him, other generals did not obey Sun Quan, especially Sun Guan. If Sun Quan wanted to make meritorious contributions, he could not be without the cooperation of his colleagues. Otherwise, once he was in danger during the war, he would fall into an isolated and helpless situation. Not to mention making contributions, it would be good to be able to save his life.

He is the emperor's younger brother, the King of Changsha. If he had the chance to capture him, the Shu army would spare no expense.

Pei Qian's eyelids were slightly raised, just in time to meet Sun Quan's earnest gaze. He suddenly realized his heart and smiled slightly.

Sun Quan also smiled and raised his wine glass.

Pei Qian's arrival did not surprise Jia Kui, but Pei Qian spoke for Sun Quan and suggested that he cooperate with Sun Quan, which made him very puzzled.

Pei Qian is not the kind of person who has to give rewards for taking Sun Quan's favor because he took Sun Quan's sailing boat. It can even be said that the children of aristocratic families have a clear distinction between this point. Human favors are human favors, and interests are interests, and they cannot be confused.

After listening to Pei Qian's explanation, Jia Kui still disagreed and even became more suspicious.

The agreement between the emperor and Sun Quan was not like optimistic about Sun Quan, but rather not optimistic about Sun Quan's signs. The main force of the Shu army was far away in Wu County, and the scale of the early contact war was not large. It was more familiar with the terrain and the water situation, and to prepare for the real battle. Sun Quan was the main force of the front battalion. According to common sense, he did not need to take action in such a battle.

Pei Qian smiled. "Liang Dao, do you think the King of Changsha can't even handle such a battle?"

Jia Kui pondered for a long time. "This is hard to say, but I admire Your Majesty's vision. Since he is not optimistic about the King of Changsha, I believe that it is difficult for the King of Changsha to achieve a record that can be comparable to his father and brother on the battlefield. When the King of Changsha was in Jiaozhou, he suffered more than once."

"It is true that the King of Changsha was frustrated in Jiaozhou, but it was not the time when the army of the unified battalion." Pei Qian peeled off a chestnut and threw it into his mouth.

This is what Sun Quan just gave him, not local chestnuts, but Shuli. When the two armies were fighting, the trade was still open, but Shuli was delicious and expensive, which was not something that ordinary people could wear.

Of course, Sun Quan is not an ordinary person. No matter whether the emperor is willing to lead the troops or not, he is still the King of Changsha, and a few Shuli can still afford it.

Jia Kui's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything for a long time. Pei Qian ate a few chestnuts in a row, but when he saw that Jia Kui had no reaction, he burst into laughter.

"I really don't eat it? If I don't eat it, it's gone."

Jia Kui stared at Pei Qian and glanced at him, and a slight sound outside the cabin, and footsteps were gone. Pei Qian's eyebrows twitched, he sat upright, and slowly patted the chestnut shell on his hand. Jia Kui repelled his left and right, so he naturally had important things to say.

"Wenxing, you are by the emperor's side. Do you know what the emperor plans to deal with the King of Changsha?"

Pei Qian's eyes flashed. "Disposition?"

Jia Kui nodded, with a serious expression, his eyes were as lightning as he looked at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian was uneasy when Jia Kui saw it, subconsciously dodged for a moment, revealing a hint of doubt. "Liang Dao, why do you have such an idea? The emperor is not such a person. If he wants to follow the story of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, why should he swear with the King of Changsha? I wish he could leave the battlefield quickly?"

"What if the King of Changsha has the intention of being a disobedient?"

"That's even more impossible." Pei Qian vetoed. "Your Majesty is rich in spring and autumn, has excellent martial arts skills, and can even be said to be invincible in the world. He is also steady and never leaves people around him. The King of Changsha will not succeed in doing extraordinary things. He takes ten thousand steps to say that even if he is lucky and successful, the throne has nothing to do with him. The Yuan family is powerful and the position of the queen is stable. If the emperor fails, it is inevitable that the emperor's legitimate son will succeed, and there is no doubt that the King of Changsha will not do this bad strategy even if he is vigilant."

Pei Qian paused and said, "Even if he is crazy, what can he do? The harm is not great, and the punishment will be limited. Why should His Majesty give someone a handle?"

Jia Kui pondered for a long time and nodded. Pei Qian was a close minister around the emperor, and he was more confident in these issues. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, took another chestnut, slowly peeled it open, and put it into his mouth.

"So, I think it's bad. But I still can't understand the emperor's intention. He did this..." Jia Kui shook his head. "It's unsolvable."

"How can it not be solved?"

"According to what you said, the King of Changsha is an unknown general, but he is not aware of it. He commands three or five thousand people to fight. As long as he does not encounter extremely wise opponents, it is not difficult to win with the Wu army's conciseness and equipment. His Majesty wants to make him retreat by himself, so why don't he wait for a while and make an oath with him at this time?"

Pei Qian thought about it. "Maybe it was Your Majesty who hoped that he would retreat sooner? After all, no one was sure to win the battle for the first time. It was better to retreat at this time than to retreat during the war. The scale of contact in the early stage was limited, and even if he was frustrated, he would have the opportunity to rescue him. The danger was much smaller. If you could not win such a battle, the King of Changsha would naturally have no face to make any requests, so he could only return to Changsha and become his King of Changsha."

Jia Kui smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Pei Qian was a little anxious. He came with Sun Quan's entrustment. "Liang Dao, no, please give me some good words."

"Nothing is wrong." Jia Kui said slowly: "Since the King of Changsha is in the front army, it is my robes, and it is only a matter of rescue of each other on the battlefield, so there is no need to explain it."

He thought for a while, raised his head, glanced at Pei Qian, and said, "Wenxing, no matter how close you are, you should not be with the emperor, so you should not be with foreign ministers, let alone the vassal king. It is better for you to come less for this former army in the future."
