Chapter 2172 Angry
It must be that Pu'er suffered such a terrible defeat that he used this as an excuse.
Although it sounds absurd and unreasonable, who would dare to question it as long as it is said by the Sun family?
Pu'er is also doing this for face.
However, this cannot be blamed on him. He has had a smooth life since childhood. How could he have seen the wickedness of human nature, or suffered such a loss?
I hope that after this incident, he can learn a lesson and grow up. If so, this trip will not be a loss.
As for the loss of tens of thousands of troops, General Sun was naturally heartbroken, but he was very open-minded. After all, how could there be no losses in a march or a war?
What matters is learning the lesson.
The one who laughs last is the winner!
Everything is forgivable in this process.
When the Second Prince and his entourage withdrew their troops back to Wuchang, more than a month had passed since Sun Pu had been defeated and thrown away his weapons.
The second prince could not wait to summon the relevant people to inquire about the matter.
The more I listened, the angrier and more regretful I became.
But he knew how important the Sun family was to him. Without the Sun family, his strength would be cut by at least one third. He had complained to General Sun before, and at this moment he simply reprimanded Sun Pu. From now on, he issued an edict that any mobilization of more than 10,000 troops must be approved by him.
This is obviously in response to this incident.
This made Sun Pu feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But he knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare say much.
Afterwards, the second prince stated arbitrarily that he decided to recruit Shao Yunduan.
He summoned the ministers to discuss how to convene the meeting, who to send, what positions to promise, how to respond if he had any requests, what could be agreed to and what could not, etc.
General Sun and Sun Pu were both silent.
The Sun family was quite dissatisfied with this.
Shao Yunduan dealt a heavy blow to Sun Pu, which was equivalent to dealing a heavy blow to the Sun family. The Sun family certainly did not welcome him.
But Sun Pu's private dispatch of troops this time was indeed a big taboo. This was not just three or five thousand troops, but a total of sixty to seventy thousand troops, which was no small number!
However, Sun Pu treated it as a child's play and sent out troops.
As a result, they were defeated both times and fled in disarray!
This is an even greater crime!
The Second Prince only reprimanded him a few times and did not really punish him severely, which was already very kind. Then, if he expressed his desire to recruit Shao Yunduan, what position did the Sun family have to oppose it?
Sun Pu was so angry that his teeth were itching, but then he thought, it would not be too late to settle the old score with Shao when he got to his territory!
In Wuchang City, who is Shao Yunduan? What ability does he have to fight against the Sun family?
Even if the emperor values him, he has no chance of winning!
After several days of discussion, it was finally decided. The second prince sent the loyal Minister of Rites, Lord Yang, to the capital of Huaixi Province with the imperial edict. Also accompanying him was the former governor of Huaixi Province, Governor Liu.
After all, Magistrate Liu has been there for so many years, he knows everything and it would be perfect for him to be a middleman.
The Second Prince really valued Shao Yunduan and hoped that he would come to him. The imperial edict gave many preferential treatments and promises. The previous grievances with the Sun family were of course written off and no one was allowed to mention it again. In addition, Minister Yang was also asked to bring countless precious gifts.
Various gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and curios, and also two young, beautiful, and good at singing and dancing palace maids were given to her.
You know, the emperor would not easily give palace maids to his subjects. This is a great favor from heaven!
