Before General Qin Liang of Wei publicly submitted a letter to attack Shu, the Sima family's undercover agent hiding in Luoyang was unable to obtain accurate and specific information!
Regarding military and state affairs, they did not inquire about it in advance. Instead, they heard about a secret in the inner house and reported it to Soochow.
Mrs. Bai, the concubine of Taifu Sima, was snatched into the palace by Wang Ling after the death of Taifu. Mrs. Bai held a grudge and wanted to use a beauty trick to seduce Wang Ling's grandson-in-law Qin Liang, so as to drive a wedge between the two and start an internal fight. Later, when Wang Ling died, the Wang family suspected that Mrs. Bai was responsible. After questioning, Mrs. Bai's plan was exposed.
People just like to spread this kind of thing, and the spies inquired about the matter in detail. However, the Wei imperial court's military deployment was only learned by the spies until March was approaching! The spies passed the caravan that had sneaked into Stone City and conveyed the news to When Jianye arrived, it was already April.
When the kings and ministers of the state of Wu heard the news, they were shocked and surprised! However, when the Wei army launched a large-scale attack on Shu, the state of Wu was internally unstable and could not immediately deploy and respond to the Han state. After all, the emperor Sun Quan had been lying down for a year, and he did not know when he would die. This critical moment of formal transfer of power might really kill someone right away!
The edict of Taichu Palace was to send General Lu Kai and others to lead troops to Zhongdu Shuikou in the north of the Yangtze River to restore the city fortifications that had been destroyed by the Wei army.
When Princess Zhu Sun Luyu heard about this, she immediately prepared to meet Lu Kai. Otherwise, when Lu Kai went to Jiangbei, she might not see her for a year and a half. She wanted to see Lu Kai because of Queen Pan's affairs!
There were some twists and turns in this matter. Princess Zhu was suspicious at first. Queen Pan followed Ma Mao to Luoyang. When the messenger brought back the letter from Wei General Qin Liang, she was also skeptical. The letter left by Queen Pan stated that she wanted to find a Taoist. The immortal prayed for His Majesty, so Princess Zhu thought of the Taoist Wang Biao again. Because Wang Biao was not only a Taoist stranger, but also had a relationship with the royal family and was appointed an official by the emperor.
When Princess Zhu sent someone to look for Wang Biao, Wang Biao showed up on his own initiative and hurriedly cleared up the relationship. Wang Biao also blamed the matter on Lu Xun's clansmen, saying that it was Zuo Ci who ascended to the throne in Huoshan (in the Dabie Mountains). Immortal, someone from the Lu family went to Huoshan to find the place where Zuo Ci ascended, dug a cave and built a quiet room to practice immortality there. Queen Pan may have gone to meet the Lu family.
Lu Xun was a general of Wu State during his lifetime and was stationed in Wuchang all year round. There are still some old troops in Wuchang, which are indeed relatively close to Huoshan. And Lu Kai is a descendant of Lu Xun and has been serving in Lu Xun's tribe before. Princess Zhu happened to be there Jianye knew Lu Kai, so asking him to help with inquiries was the easiest way.
Sun Luyu first ordered his servants to prepare the car, and then went back to the inner courtyard to change clothes. As soon as he reached the gatehouse, he met his stepson Zhu Xiong.
Zhu Xiong asked: "Where will stepmother go?"
Sun Luyu did not hide anything: "Lu Kai is about to go to Jiangbei. I met him and went to say goodbye."
Zhu Xiong actually said: "My stepmother is a princess, so I should ask General Lu to come and say goodbye."
Sun Luyu glanced at his stepson, frowned and walked into the gatehouse without saying a word.
The few words she just said made Sun Luyu feel depressed. She was just looking back at the events of the past few months, and suddenly she had a feeling that she didn't know what she was busy with!
Because Sun Luyu's husband, Zhu Ju, was dead. Zhu Ju was first demoted to a certain place, and on the way to his post, he received an imperial edict and was given a glass of poisonous wine!
Sun Luyu was very suspicious from the beginning that the imperial edict might be a fake one! But regardless of the authenticity of the imperial edict, it seemed to have received the acquiescence of his father. Because his father soon issued an edict and canonized Sun He and other three sons. As kings, Sun He has been named King of Nanyang; therefore, his father must have compromised and recognized Sun Liang as the crown prince.
Seeing the performance of his stepson Zhu Xiong and others, Sun Luyu might also surrender to his sister Princess Quan! Princess Quan, Sun Jun and others are suspected of being Zhu Xiong's father-killing enemies, but Zhu Xiong brothers can choose to surrender to Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke His previous position was to support the prince, but he seems to have reached a certain alliance with Sun Jun.
Even his late husband's own son might have surrendered. Sun Luyu suddenly felt that what he did was of no use!
But why hasn’t she given up yet? Maybe that’s just how people are, once they start something, even if they deviate from the direction midway, they will still continue to do it habitually.
In fact, Sun Luyu didn't want to blame his stepson too much for his weakness. The Zhu family was indeed a wealthy family, but once Zhu Ju died, the prestige and ability of his sons were simply not as good as those of Prime Minister Zhu. Therefore, it was wise to temporarily compromise with those in power to preserve the family. choose.
Sun Luyu turned around and looked at Queen Pan's affairs, and already had the idea of giving up.
She sat on the bed for a while, then got up and walked to the door to take a look. Then she came back and pushed the bed away, and pulled out a brick from the wall. In the bag in the hole of the brick, she took a volume of letters. came out.
An autographed letter from General Wei Qin Liang. Sun Luyu is the princess of the Wu Kingdom. It is indeed nonsense to say that she colluded with the enemy, but at this time, she was still well hidden.
She remembered that after the Battle of Xianxi, heroes like her father also showed signs of fear and panic. Sun Luyu witnessed it with his own eyes. But she did not expect that such a terrifying Qin Liang would actually write like a serious scholar. .The words were polite, but he persuaded Princess Wu to surrender.
Qin Liang said in his reply that because Queen Pan was not in Luoyang, Ma Mao could only give the letter to him. Ma Mao, who returned from Soochow, spoke highly of Princess Zhu and did not like the ruthless and power-playing Princess Quan. .Princess Zhu's situation in Jianye is already in danger, so she can consider going to Luoyang to avoid disaster, instead of waiting for death in Jianye. He and Soochow are fighting for their own masters. If Princess Zhu comes to surrender, she will treat her with courtesy. .
Sun Luyu read the letter again and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
She finally decided not to care about Queen Pan's whereabouts. But the car was ready and she told Zhu Xiong that she was going to meet General Lu Kai, so she decided to go.
Sun Luyu changed his clothes, took his entourage and went to Lu's house. He happened to meet Lu Kai in the house.
Lu Kai hurriedly invited the princess to take a seat in the hall and bowed and greeted her.
Sun Luyu no longer mentioned the matter of the Lu family cultivating immortals in Huoshan, but only asked about the military affairs of the imperial court.
Lu Kai sighed with emotion: "It is reported that Cao Wei's general Qin Liang mobilized a large number of troops to attack Han! At first, all the ministers in my court could not believe that Qin Liang dared to think of annexing Han so quickly. This man simply He is a man who is extremely militaristic and cruel!"
The handwriting on the letter appeared in front of Sun Luyu's eyes again, and she did not comment. She asked: "In General Lu's opinion, can Qin Zhongming conquer Han?"
Lu Kai pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although Jiang Wei lost Hanzhong, the main force of the Han army was not much damaged, and he still retained a large number of capable soldiers. Now that the territory of Han has shrunk, in the long run, the national strength will be even worse; but at the moment , because the encirclement defense line has been reduced, the grain road is much shorter than when the Longyou encirclement was established, which is more conducive to defense. Qin Liang's self-restraint and bravery are completely asking for great achievements!"
Sun Luyu thought for a while and then asked: "General, is this order to go north to prevent the Qingxu Wei army from going south from Zhongdu River?"
Lu Kai suddenly sighed: "It is indeed to guard against the Zhongdu River, but after all, it is to guard against the Wei army's warships on the Huai River and various rivers in the Central Plains, which may go straight into the river. I think it is useless, but I speak lightly and no one listens to me.
proposition.”
Sun Luyu said: "I heard that if the Wei navy wants to go south immediately, they can only go to Zhongdu River. Why is it useless to defend Zhongdu River?"
Lu Kai said: "The entrance of Zhongdu Water is close to the mouth of the river (the impact plain at this time is not that big), and the river is too wide, as vast as the sea. It is extremely difficult for the Wei army to cross the river on foot from here. The navy coming from Zhongdu Water
, there will probably be a water battle, but the Wei army has too few water troops, so it is not a match for our army yet."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Cao Wei sent a large number of troops to the west to attack the Han Dynasty. Taking this opportunity, the most important thing our country should plan is to recover Dongguan. After the Wei army occupied Dongguan, they were training the navy in Chaohu Lake.
It’s a serious problem!”
Sun Luyu said: "General Lu is very knowledgeable."
Lu Kai raised his head and glanced at Sun Luyu, as if he was hesitant to speak. He probably knew that Princess Zhu had lost power, so he didn't want to say more.
But when the words came to this, Lu Kai finally said in a deep voice: "How could the princes in the court not know? However, Sun Jun, Sun Hong and others controlled the government, and Zhuge Yuanxun also stayed in Jianye. At this time, everyone in the family
Without the will to fight, no one is willing to gather their families and troops to attack Dongguan. The princes are all concerned with the affairs of the court, so they have no control over the timing of the war in Han."
At this time, Sun Luyu was looking out from the main entrance of the hall. She looked at the gray sky, her mood was very complicated for a moment, and she suddenly wanted to laugh at the current situation! But she was a member of the Sun family, and if she laughed, she was afraid that she was just laughing at herself, so she couldn't bear it.
The resident sighed.
If the country cannot be defended, wouldn't it be all in vain in the end if everyone is fighting among themselves and fighting to the death?
She said no more, stood up from her seat and bowed her head: "General Lu has an order, so I won't disturb him any more."
Lu Kai cupped his fists and bowed, "I will send you off to Your Highness respectfully."
"Thank you to the book friend "Reminiscing Past Love" for being the leader last month! Because I encountered some unexpected things in life before, I have delayed updating for a long time. I just started updating today. I am very sorry."
