Chapter 2092 At least you kept the Sun family
After losing Jiaozhou and handing over the survival of the Sun family to Cao Shu, Sun Quan always believed that he was ashamed of his ancestors, especially Sun Ce, who had been dead for many years.
But the old lady asked him to come over, but he didn't dare not go, so he had to follow the maid to the old lady's residence.
The new residence was settled the night before, and the old lady's room seemed a little shabby.
Entering the room, Sun Quan bowed to the old lady sitting in the room and was drinking tea: "I've seen my mother."
The old lady didn't raise her head, but just asked lightly: "Have you sent Jiaozhou out?"
"It has been...sent..." When he replied, Sun Quan looked ashamed.
But the old lady seemed to be indifferent and said to him: "It's better to send it out. Jiaozhou should not belong to our Sun family. Give it to Cao Zirong and see how Cao Zirong handles it."
"Don't my mother blame me?" Sun Quan looked up in surprise and asked at the old lady in surprise.
"Blame you? Why do you blame you?" said the old lady: "You took over Bo Fu and stabilized the situation in Jiangdong. If it weren't for Cao Zirong, you would still be your lord of Jiangdong in Wujun Anran. You have already put your heart into it, what reason do I have to blame you?"
"But I lost Jiaozhou after all!" Sun Quan replied: "Without Jiaozhou, I will not have the face to meet my elder brother and father in the future."
"But you saved the Sun family." The old lady said: "If you hadn't given up on Jiaozhou, once the Wei army broke through Cangwu, there would probably be no living person in our Sun family. Bo Fu and your father saw the achievements of the Sun family, why would they blame you?"
I thought the old lady would blame him for a few words, or even furiously scold him for being an unworthy descendant, but I didn't expect that not only did she not be scolded, but she felt relieved, and Sun Quan felt even more uncomfortable.
"I figured it out when the Wei army advanced into Jiaozhou." The old lady then said to Sun Quan: "After fighting for so many years, all heroes are trying to unify the world and replace the Han family. Now the Cao family has done it, and Cao Zirong has done it. If we forcefully become enemies with it, it is just seeking death."
"But at least I should discuss with Cao Zirong and leave Jiaozhou to the Sun family as the foundation for establishing a business." Sun Quan replied: "I was afraid of Cao Zirong and did not dare to make these requests."
"Luckily you didn't mention it." The old lady said: "Zhang Zibu and others are old ministers of the Sun family. They are far more loyal to the Sun family than you think. How could he not mention these benefits when he went to see Cao Zirong? When he returned to Jiaozhou, he said half a word to you?"
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said to the old lady: "Zhang Zibu really didn't mention those things..."
"It's not that he doesn't want to mention it, it's not that he didn't say it in front of Cao Zirong." The old lady replied: "I also met Cao Zirong in my early years, and then I knew that he was a big deal. Now that you are defeated by him, it can be said that you are not losing!"
Sun Quan lowered his head and said nothing.
The old lady did say many good things about Cao Shu in her early years, and she praised Cao Shu so much that he felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
Looking back now, the old lady is still keen on her eyes.
When it comes to governing the world and conquering the world, he is indeed not as good as Cao Shu.
"Did Sima Zhongda say what you want to do in the future?" the old lady suddenly asked.
Sun Quan replied: "He wants me to go to Chengdu, and my mother and Sun's family will go to Luoyang first."
"I heard that Cao Zirong planned to move the capital to Chang'an, Luoyang is just his temporary place." The old lady said: "We have gone to Luoyang, and you can stay by his side, which can also help him."
"Cao Zirong and I were once hostile. We were afraid that we would like to help, but he refused to use me." Sun Quan lowered his head and said with no confidence.
"Your girl married him in her early years, and you are still his uncle." The old lady glared at him: "Although she lost Jiaozhou, the Sun family lost the possibility of expanding territory. It is okay to help Cao Zirong rectify the world sooner or later become a marquis and prime minister. Could it be that you will be depressed from now on and will never take the Sun family to heart again?"
"Don't calm down, the child dare not!" The old lady was furious, and Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Since my mother has given me, I will do everything."
Sun Quan agreed, and the old lady's face looked better.
She said to Sun Quan again: "On the way to Chengdu, you took a wife with you. When you arrived in Chengdu, you must have someone to take care of you."
"It doesn't matter whether anyone is around me is taking care of me, what's important is who is around my mother." Sun Quan said: "The people from Jiaozhou are still loyal to the Sun family, but I'm afraid that no one can be found..."
"No need for those of them to be loyal to the Sun family." The old lady said, "Since Cao Zirong did not kill you, Sima Zhongda would certainly not touch you easily. I expected that he would arrange for people to escort us, so you don't have to worry anymore."
As the mother and son were talking, a maid came: "Qi Bian Lao Madam, lord, two generals came from outside the door, saying that they were ordered to escort the Sun family and lord from Jiaozhou. They asked to meet with the old lady."
"If someone comes to ask me to see me, it will be no longer suitable for you here." The old lady said to Sun Quan: "You retreat first, come and ask you for peace in the evening."
"Mom, don't be too busy!" Sun Quan instructed and bowed and retreated.
When he saw the old lady, he felt even more guilty.
Since Sun Jian was shot and killed by Huang Zu's subordinates, he has been wandering with his elder brother Sun Ce.
Sun Ce voted for Yuan Shu but was not valued.
Later, he presented the imperial seal and asked Yuan Shu for three thousand soldiers to return to Jiangdong, which led to the later Sun Family Business.
I thought that the family business could be carried forward by him, but I didn't expect that he could not only fail to carry forward Jiangdong, but instead lost the battle of Chibi and led the remnants of the Sun family to Jiaozhou.
Following Liu Bei's footsteps of becoming emperor in Yizhou, he also became emperor in Jiaozhou.
However, the emperor had not been in charge for a few years and waited for the Wei army to attack.
The Great Wei army was at the city and he was responsible for carrying forward the burden of the Sun family, but he didn't even have the ability to resist.
After being the head of the Sun family for so many years, he ended up losing his family. From now on, he had to rely on Cao Shu...
When he returned to his residence, Sun Quan sat there, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty.
He looked up at the beam of the house and sighed a long sigh.
Walking under the beam of the house, he untied his clothes and threw them on it.
The belt was spread over the beams of the house, and both ends were hanging in front of him.
Pulling the hanging belt, Sun Quan's face showed a hint of reluctance.
Just before the Wei army entered the city, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others were still dealing with Sima Yi for his longer life.
