Chapter 227: Sun Jian is a hero, but he gave birth to a son? Lao Liu: Sun Quan is unkind and unjust, despicable and shameless, behead him!
Sun Quan knelt down.
Before Guan Yu raised his sword, the last descendant of the Sun family, the former lord of Jiangdong, took the initiative to kneel at his feet.
Guan Yu's originally cold and stern face turned into a look of surprise because of Sun Quan's sudden kneeling.
"General Guan, Quan was defeated by General Guan. I accept the defeat sincerely."
"Quan is willing to submit to General Zuo. Please give Quan a chance, General Guan, so that I can go to see General Zuo and apologize to him in person."
The sadness and despair on Sun Quan's face now turned into pleading and deep regret.
Not only did he kneel down, but in just a short moment, he decided to give up his dignity and humbly begged for mercy from Guan Yu in exchange for his life.
Looking at this cowardly, servile man in front of him, the surprise on Guan Yu's face was replaced by contempt and disgust.
The murderous intent in his eyes faded away.
It was not that he wanted to show mercy and spare Sun Quan's life, but he felt that killing such a shameless and cowardly person would dirty his Qinglong sword.
"Sun Jian was a hero who fought against Dong Zhuo, but he unexpectedly gave birth to a shameless, cowardly son like you. It's really pathetic."
"I'll kill you, you little bastard, for you're dirtying the Azure Dragon Sword in my hand!"
Guan Yu snorted disdainfully and shouted:
"Send this villain to Chengde overnight and let my brother deal with him!"
After the order was given, the soldiers rushed forward and tied up Sun Quan.
Having temporarily escaped death, Sun Quan felt exhausted. He did not even bother to think about how Liu Bei would deal with him. He just numbly allowed himself to be tied up by Liu Bei's army and taken away from Lu'an City.
Guan Yu ordered that more than a thousand men be left to guard Lu'an City, while he personally led the victorious army northward and attacked Yangquan City directly.
...
South of Chengde City, Liu’s army camp.
Inside the central military tent, Liu Bei was pacing with his hands behind his back, looking outside the tent door from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Xiao Fang was gently waving a feather fan, sipping the tea in the bowl with relish, his expression as relaxed as a cloud.
"If we estimate by the speed of his march, General Yunchang should have already taken Lu'an, and Sun Quan's head might already be on the way here."
"My lord, please don't be too impatient. Just drink a bowl of tea and wait patiently."
Xiao Fang saw that Old Liu was worried, so he smiled and tried to comfort him, and then filled a bowl of tea for him.
Only then did Liu Bei stop, sit down again, and take the soup and tea handed to him by Xiao Fang.
"Jinglue, you have always been a master of planning, and Yunchang is in charge of this battle, so it is sure to be foolproof."
"It's really a bit unfounded to worry about this."
Liu Bei smiled at himself and brought the tea bowl to his mouth.
Before he could drink the tea, the curtain was suddenly lifted and Pang Tong walked in excitedly.
"My lord, good news from Lu'an!"
"The military advisor's plan of crossing the river in vain was successful. General Guan successfully removed the beacon tower and, with the cooperation of Jiang Qin, captured Lu'an City in one fell swoop."
"General Guan personally killed Lü Meng, Ma Zhong and Zhou Tai, and captured Sun Quan alive. He has now been sent to the main camp, awaiting your order!"
Pang Tong held up the good news in his hand and happily reported it to Lao Liu.
Liu Bei was shocked at first, then a look of ecstasy welled up on his face. He quickly put down the tea bowl and took the silk letter of victory news from Pang Tong's hand.
After taking it apart and taking a closer look, Lao Liu couldn't help but laugh:
"The military advisor really has a plan that is perfect. Lu'an has been conquered, and all the remnants of the Sun family have been wiped out!"
"Well, well, well, Yunchang is worthy of being the leader of my generals. You fought beautifully in this battle!"
There was an atmosphere of excitement in the big tent, and everyone was excited.
Xiao Fang remained calm as usual, and just smiled faintly:
"General Guan will lead the army personally and will naturally be invincible."
"But if it weren't for Shi Yuan's plan, which allowed the lord to first place Jiang Qin as a hidden chess piece in Lu'an, General Guan would not have been able to take Lu'an so easily."
"My lord, Shi Yuan has made an invaluable contribution."
Xiao Fang was reminding Lao Liu not to ignore the contribution of Pang Tong's advice.
Liu Bei suppressed his joy and patted Pang Tong's shoulder heavily:
"Jinglue is right. If Shiyuan hadn't asked me to place Jiang Qin, even though Yunchang had removed the beacon tower, he might not have been able to capture Lu'an so quickly."
"I have Shi Yuan's brilliant plan, Jing Lue's divine calculation, and Yun Chang's heroic spirit. Sun Quan is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Pang Tong was a proud and conceited person, unlike Xiao Fang who knew how to be humble. Upon hearing Lao Liu's praise, he did not hide his pride and couldn't help laughing.
"My lord, since General Yunchang has brought Sun Quan here, please deal with him first."
Xiao Fang reminded with a smile.
Liu Bei put away his smile, immediately sat upright in his seat, with a solemn expression on his face, and ordered Sun Quan to be escorted inside.
A moment.
A one-eyed man with an ugly bloody face and broken bones all over his body was dragged into the tent and thrown in front of Liu Bei.
When Xiao Fang saw Sun Quan in such a miserable state, he couldn't help but laugh, and felt indescribably happy in his heart.
In the past history, it was this leader of the Jiangdong rats who stabbed Liu Bang in the back, attacked Jingzhou, killed Guan Yu, and destroyed the good situation in which Guan Yu dominated China.
From then on, the Han Dynasty had no hope of revival. The Ji Han Dynasty, which Lao Liu had spent his entire life to create, could only be trapped in the remote mountainous area of Yizhou, facing the end of a slow death. Now, the culprit has knelt in front of Lao Liu as a prisoner.
How could Xiao Fang not feel delighted?
"Sun Quan, you narrowly escaped death in the battle of Haiyan."
"Today, you still fell into my hands!"
Liu Bei looked down at Sun Quan who was kneeling on the ground, his tone as cold as ice.
Sun Quan propped himself up tremblingly, raised his head with difficulty, and met Liu Bei's stern gaze.
Liu Bei, the man who killed his brother, wiped out his Sun family, and seized his Sun family's foundation.
At this moment, he was sitting high up, admiring coldly the loser's miserable state as he kneeled on the ground.
How can the dignified Lord of Jiangdong endure such humiliation!
At this moment, Sun Quan's heart was burning with rage, he gnashed his teeth with hatred, and he wished he could rush forward and strangle Liu Bei to death.
Unfortunately, the rage in his eyes only burned for a moment before he was forcibly suppressed.
If he really had the courage to face death calmly, why did he kneel to Guan Yu when Lu'an was captured?
Since Guan Yu has knelt, there is no harm in kneeling to Liu Bei.
"The defeated general Sun Quan pays homage to General Zuo!"
"I am guilty of not coming to see General Zuo earlier. I beg General Zuo to forgive me!"
Sun Quan swallowed his shame and anger, put his forehead on the ground, and kowtowed to Liu Bei in the most humbly to apologize.
This kneeling, this apology like shaking the tail and begging for mercy, made Old Liu unable to kneel any more.
He even began to doubt whether the person kneeling on the ground begging for mercy was really Sun Jian's son?
Could it be that Guan Yu sent it to the wrong person?
How could the son of Sun Jian, the hero who defeated Dong Zhuo, and the younger brother of the Little Overlord Sun Ce be so spineless?
There wasn't even a single passionate and fearless word, or even a pretense or formality of facing death calmly.
He knelt down on the ground right away and begged for surrender in the most humbly manner?
"In fact, as early as when General Zuo captured Nanjing, Quan saw that General Zuo was the ruler of heaven, destined to take Jiangdong and rebuild the Han Dynasty."
"Quan wanted to offer Wujun and Kuaiji to obey the will of heaven and the people's will, submit to General Zuo, and help General Zuo to support the Han Dynasty."
"However, Lü Meng, Zhou Tai and others tried their best to dissuade Quan from submitting to General Zuo, and even forced Quan to flee Jiangdong and come to Huainan, where he was forced to take refuge with Lü Bu's four servants."
"Whatever Quan did in Huainan was not from his own heart. He was forced by Lu Bu and coerced by Lu Meng and others. He had no choice but to do it."
"Fortunately, General Guan has conquered Lu'an, allowing Quan to escape the control of Lu Meng and others. He can come to meet General Zuo and express Quan's intentions."
"Please give Quan a chance to serve you, General Zuo. I will go through fire and water for you to repay your kindness!"
Sun Quan spoke eloquently and expressed his loyalty with great righteousness, putting all the blame and all the blame on Lu Meng and even Zhou Tai.
Liu Bei was shocked.
He looked at Sun Quan, who had an innocent face, with an incredible look.
However, Guan Yu wrote in the victory report that Lu Meng and Zhou Tai were loyal to Sun Quan and were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Sun Quan.
These two loyal subordinates are now accused by Sun Quan of blackmailing their lord!
"boom!"
Liu Bei could no longer bear it, and he slammed the table and stood up, shouting:
"Sun Quan, even at this point, you are still so shameless!"
"You think I, Liu Bei, am just a three-year-old child who can be easily deceived by your shameless lies?"
Sun Quan shuddered, raised his head and looked at Liu Bei with fear.
"Although Lü Meng and Zhou Tai deserved death, they were loyal to you and were willing to sacrifice their lives to ensure your escape!"
"If they were to hear you blame them for your despicable and shameless actions, how disheartened would they be?"
"I, Liu Bei, have been a soldier for half my life and have met countless people, but I have never seen someone as shameless as you!"
"No wonder Lu Bu adopted you as his son. You two are really birds of a feather!"
"Sun Jian is a great hero, and he is feared by the world. How can there be such a shameless son of a dog or a pig like you?"
Old Liu was extremely angry, he had never been so angry in his life. He actually cursed Sun Quan harshly.
Sun Quan's expression changed in shock, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and a mixture of shame and fear surged in his one eye.
He never expected that instead of shirking the responsibility, he ended up making things worse and angered Liu Bei, causing him to be severely scolded.
Sun Quan heard a deep murderous intent in Liu Bei's words, which made him shudder and become more and more panicked.
All the generals on both sides were filled with indignation and contempt. If it were not for the sake of dignity, they would have rushed up and beaten Sun Quan up.
Only Xiao Fang was not at all surprised by Sun Quan's shamelessness.
Sun Quan is such a person. He can do anything for the so-called interests and survival.
Xiao Fang believed that in the past history, if Sun Quan had lost the Battle of Yiling and Liu Bei had recovered Jingzhou and seized Jiangdong, he would have been like he was doing now, shamelessly and humbly begging for surrender to Liu Bei.
After the scolding, the murderous intent in Old Liu's eyes was as hard as iron.
If Sun Quan really did as he said and chose to surrender and offer land after Sun Ce's defeat, he would really give Sun Quan a life of wealth and honor.
But before Sun Quan fled from Jiangdong, he looted Haiyan County and burned, killed and looted his own people.
From that moment on, Lao Liu thought in his heart that this was a death sentence for Sun Quan.
So he took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said sternly:
"Sun Quan is a scoundrel who is unkind, unjust, despicable and shameless. He is guilty of ten unforgivable crimes and should be executed!"
"Drag this Sun family remnant away and kill him!"
The killing order was issued.
Sun Quan instantly collapsed as if he had fainted, and sat on the ground.
