When attacking Yizhou, Long Fei relied on Jiang Gan's sharp tongue to suppress Ma Chao in Hanzhong. When the capital move was completed and Long Fei was successfully crowned king, Ma Chao realized his danger. Yizhou was a fortress.
If you want to open a breakthrough, Hanzhong is undoubtedly the best way. Ma Chao regrets listening to Jiang Gan's lies. Now that he thinks about it, he should really kill Jiang Gan and compete with Long Fei in Yizhou.
"Pa!" Ma Chao threw the news from Yizhou onto several cases and said angrily: "Long Fei really wants to fight with us? Don't think that he helped us and we should just obey and pass on my military orders.
Send troops to Yizhou immediately!"
"Brother, wait a minute!" Ma Dai hurriedly dissuaded: "Brother, the emperor lives in Yizhou now. If we send troops hastily, we may be given an excuse for rebellion. Brother, think twice!"
"Rebellion? I am King Qin! Long Fei coerces His Majesty to proclaim himself king as the descendant of General Fubo. How can a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty ignore it?" Ma Chao said with righteous words.
"Brother, do you believe this?" Ma Dai smiled bitterly: "We have taken a step forward by capturing Hanzhong. Besides, we know Long Fei's strength. He only sent 60,000 troops and horses to capture Yizhou. Our soldiers
Brother should know how the horses compare to Long Fei's troops! Another point is that Cao Cao has never relaxed his control over Chang'an. If we send troops at this time, if Cao Cao comes from behind, we will not even have room to turn back!"
"We're here just in time! My uncle's 100,000 cavalry are in Xiliang. If Cao Cao dares to leave Chang'an, capture it immediately!" Ma Chao has always been brave, I am the best in the world, and he doesn't take anyone else seriously.
"Brother?" Ma Dai asked anxiously: "Is Han Sui still my uncle? Since we arrived in Hanzhong, he has controlled the entire Xiliang. Let alone help, even if we want to go back now, I'm afraid we can't!"
Pound remained silent. Ma Chao glared at Ma Dai and asked Pound, "Ling Ming, do you think we should attack Yizhou?"
Pang De said: "I think we should not attack now, but should only protect ourselves and send people to join forces with Cao Cao. Only in this way can we maintain long-term peace and stability."
"Hmph! Sooner or later, Cao Cao will be avenged for killing my father. How about joining forces with him? Don't even think about it!" Ma Chao punched several cases hard.
Ma Chao didn't send anyone, but Cao Cao sent someone. Although he called himself King of Wei, he was still unorthodox. They were all kings, and only Long Fei's king was named by His Majesty. In order to get the orthodox title, Cao Cao made a deal with Long Fei. If
Cao Cao was able to hold Ma Chao back, so Long Fei asked His Majesty to issue an order. Although he knew that this was Long Fei's plan to delay the war, Cao Cao still obeyed. However, Cao Cao did not hold Ma Chao back, but came to encourage Ma Chao.
As soon as Jiang Ji met, he sent the relics of Ma Teng and his son to Ma Chao. After seeing his father's things, Ma Chao burst into tears and immediately ordered people to build a mourning hall to pay homage to his father again. After all the things were done, he
Jiang Ji called to the court. Seeing Jiang Ji's ruffled look, Ma Chao immediately thought of Jiang Gan. Both of them had the same surname: Jiang, and both were scholars and messengers, and they spoke in similar tones.
After listening to Jiang Jizhi's words, Ma Chao snorted coldly: "Don't think that if you return the relics of my father and brother, I will let you go. If you go back and tell Cao Cao, I will definitely kill him!"
Jiang Ji laughed and said: "General Ma's talent and strategy are well known to everyone in the world, but I'm afraid there is no chance! As long as Long Fei sends his troops to attack, how long can you defend Hanzhong?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" Ma Chao said with disdain: "One more thing, I am the king of Hanzhong, not a general!"
Jiang Ji shook his head: "Hehehe, okay, King of Hanzhong. It would be a joke to call him King of Hanzhong without Hanzhong. I am here under the orders of the King of Wei. I hope that the King of Hanzhong can join forces with my King of Wei to attack Longfei. Tell the truth to the king, Sun Quan of Jiangdong has already
The time has come for the princes of the world to join forces to fight against Long Fei. As long as the king agrees, the king of Wei is willing to give up Chang'an. What does the king think?"
"Oh?" Ma Chao jumped up from his chair. The temptation was indeed great. The land of Xiliang was bitterly cold. They had long had ambitions to develop eastward, but Chang'an was firmly controlled by Cao Cao. If they captured Chang'an, they would have no choice but to go eastward.
It’s much easier to leave. Ma Chao suddenly asked: “Are you serious about this?”
Jiang Ji nodded: "Long Fei is a public thief in the world, and everyone will punish him. Now that his wings are growing, he must be removed as soon as possible. If it becomes the climate in the future, it will be even more difficult to do it again. I am sure the king will think twice."
.”
Ma Dai interjected: "I would like to ask your envoy how to cede Chang'an?"
Jiang Jidao: "The King of Wei has said that as soon as the King of Hanzhong's troops move, he will immediately withdraw his troops from Chang'an. What does the general think of this?"
"What you say is unfounded, and the writing is proof!" Ma Chao waved his hand, and a soldier took the pen and ink. Without thinking, Jiang Ji wrote quickly and wrote the words "The King of Hanzhong attacked, Chang'an sent Xiliang". Then he wrote
Put his own seal on it. After seeing it, Ma Chao felt as if he had found a treasure. He laughed loudly and said to Jiang Ji: "With this written evidence, sir, I feel relieved. As long as King Wei keeps his word, I will recognize our alliance!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" That night, Ma Chao held a banquet to entertain Jiang Ji. Ma Dai always felt that something was wrong, but what could he say? Even if he did, Ma Chao, who was in high spirits, would not listen to him.
I hope Long Fei's deployment is not complete yet. He only needs to capture one or two cities in Yizhou and immediately persuade his eldest brother to withdraw his troops.
Ma Chao, Chen Bing, Jia Meng Pass, how could Long Fei sit idly by? He also got news about the three families' alliance. Now is the critical moment. Yizhou has just been captured, and Jingzhou has insufficient troops. If the three families really fight, the consequences can be imagined.
But Zhi Longfei led everyone to discuss for three days and three nights. A group of generals headed by Dian Wei saw that their troops were victorious. They were already dazzled by the victory and shouted loudly that they wanted to fight. But Jia Xu
, Guo Jia and others felt like a mirror, this stall was definitely not a good time to attack.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, our army has been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers are exhausted and can no longer fight. The three families must unite to find other ways!"
Xun Yu also said: "Yes! With the attack on Yizhou and the emperor's move of the capital and the enfeoffment of Zen, now our treasury is almost running out of ammunition and food. I am worried about the lack of food and grass supplies when sending troops at this time, not to mention that it is still three days ago."
The daily cost of marching troops and horses is huge! If the lord really wants to fight, give me one year, and I can guarantee that we will have millions of tons of food and fodder!"
"You corrupt people are just afraid! You don't need to fight in the war!" Dian Wei yelled: "What is there to be afraid of, little Ma Chao? Cao Cao is even more defeated, and that Sun Quan is simply a weakling. We are now
The troops are strong and the horses are strong, and the morale of the soldiers is high. Defeat these three as soon as possible to end this war and let the people live a good life!"
Long Fei glared at Dian Wei and said angrily: "Shut up, you don't know anything and are talking nonsense? I have the final say whether we fight or not!"
Seeing Long Fei's anger, Dian Wei did not dare to say anything. Li Ru stood up and said, "Since my lord wants to recuperate, why not listen to what Mr. Jiang has to say?"
Jiang Gan smiled slightly: "In front of the lord and all the gentlemen, the subordinates dare not talk nonsense. As long as the lord gives the order, the subordinates will do their best!"
"Mr. Jiang, don't be polite. Let's talk about it. Maybe there is a better way!" Long Fei has always had a good attitude towards civil servants.
Jiang Gan glanced at everyone and took a deep breath: "Okay, let me tell you! In my humble opinion, although Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Ma Chao have united, they are not monolithic. If we use our strategies properly, we can
The best strategy is to divide them and then defeat them one by one!"
"Oh? Sir, please speak more carefully."
Jiang Gan nodded quickly: "Since Your Majesty made the lord king, Cao Cao and Ma Chao have called themselves kings one after another. Only Sun Quan was worried about his own safety and remained silent. Cao Cao and Ma Chao had the vengeance of killing their father. How could they not avenge such a big hatred? With that,
With these relationships, we can make a fuss!"
"Okay! Everything will be listened to Mr. Jiang!" Long Fei did not wait for Jiang Gan to finish speaking, and immediately expressed his position: "From now on, Jiang Wan will be appointed as Yizhou Shepherd, Fei Yi will be Yizhou Biejia, and Gao Shun will be Yizhou General.
, is responsible for managing Yizhou, and building defense lines in Zitong, Xichong and other places to strictly guard against Hanzhong and Ma Chao! Mr. Jiang has full authority to handle the work of disintegration and disintegration. Everyone must obey, and anyone who disobeys will be killed!"
Jiang Qian's first destination was Jiangdong. This time he was much more polite than the last few times. Not only did he bring a lot of gifts, but he also brought an imperial edict. In order to maintain a close relationship with Sun Quan, Jiang Qian specially sent Mongolia to Jiangdong.
Shuo was by his side, but Meng Shuo was Sun Quan's brother-in-law. After entering Jianye, Zhang Zhao greeted him at the city gate on behalf of Sun Quan. The two families were allies on the surface, and there was no shortage of pomp and ceremony to welcome the imperial edict.
Not only that, Sun Quan personally went out to welcome Long Fei. Jiang Qian first presented Long Fei with a gift list. The gifts were indeed rich, with Shu brocade and Yizhou specialties accounting for more than half. There was also money and grain. The total added up to the harvest of Ye City in half a year. Lu Su
A smile: "General Long is indeed generous, and his actions are generous!"
Jiang Gan also smiled and said: "You and I are allies. Your Majesty took back Yizhou, and General Sun made a great contribution to containing Cao Cao in Jiangdong. It is appropriate to prepare some small gifts, and it is better to invite General Sun's subordinates."
"Haha, it's easy to talk!" Sun Quan seemed to have become accustomed to his current life. Compared to the sinister and cunning person before, he seemed to be dull.
Entering the courtyard, the incense case that had been prepared was placed in the center of the courtyard. There were tablets of heaven and earth on it, and all kinds of sacrificial supplies were available. As soon as Jiang Gan stood still in front of the incense case, Sun Quan immediately led everyone to kneel on the ground and shouted, "Long live the mountain"
The content of the imperial edict is not that big of a deal. It is an order to confer Sun Quan as the King of Wu, Zhang Zhao as the prefect of Kuaiji, and Lu Su as the prefect of Wu County. Almost every prominent figure in Jiangdong has a reward, and everyone has a reward.
Sun Quan was also very happy. When Cao Cao and Ma Chao became kings, he had the same idea. It was Lu Su who suggested him not to follow suit. Now it seems that Lu Su was right. He did not participate but was the second one after Long Fei.
The moment the man who made the king received the imperial edict, Sun Quan turned his face and glanced at Lu Su with a smile. Lu Su's face was as dark as water, and he looked a little uncomfortable.
