Suddenly, Xun Yu frowned, raised his head and said, "Is the third girl Cao Xian still in Wancheng?"
Guo Jia laughed and said: "She said she wanted to help Le Jin resist Liu Zhang, but Le Jin had nothing to do with her. He could only let her wear armor, but did not give her military power. It was just a show."
"Nonsense, we must recruit the third girl back, otherwise there will be an accident and we will not be able to explain to the Prime Minister." Xun Yu shook his sleeves and walked out.
Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu's back, smiled softly, and said calmly: "If you are an enemy of the world's noble families, will you definitely be defeated? How can you come to this step? Liu Zhang, I really want to fight with you, cough, cough."
Guo Jia coughed twice, picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and strode out.
…………
In the emperor's palace, Liu Xie walked to the door under the service of the eunuch. His face was expressionless. After the eunuch left, he walked step by step like a zombie. Queen Fushou walked out from behind the bead curtain and just said: "Your Majesty is back.
It's gone." Unexpectedly, Liu Xie made a "bang" sound and collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly.
"Thieves, big Han thieves, they are all big Han thieves, you will not die in peace."
Liu Xie cried loudly, with tears rolling down his face, and slapped the ground, gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Your Majesty, please speak softly." Fu Shou hurriedly walked to Liu Xie and helped Liu Xie up: "Your Majesty, please speak softly. Cao Cao's minions haven't gone far yet."
Liu Xie suddenly came to his senses, suppressed his crying, and was helped into the back room by Fu Shou. When he got to the bed in the back room, Liu Xie hugged Fu Shou, who was dressed in thin clothes, and burst into tears.
Fu Shou rested his light shoulders on Liu Xie's head and sighed softly. Without Liu Xie noticing, he held Liu Xie's back with his fair and tender hands and said softly: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Liu Xie hugged Fu Shou and sobbed, and said with sobs: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, today in the main hall, I heard that Liu Zhang of Xichuan was planning to make a trip to Jingzhou, and all the officials of the Han Dynasty did not bow to me, but all went to the mansion of Prime Minister Cao and traitors.
They treat me as if they are nothing. They are so rebellious. They have been working hard for generations and have been favored by the country. Now they only have Cao Cao in their hearts. There is no Han Dynasty. They have no king and no father. They will be punished by both heaven and man."
"Queen, I'm so sad." Liu Xie hugged Fu Shou tightly and cried even louder.
Fu Shou stared at the bead curtain at the door with an expressionless expression. After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty should think of a way. I said that if you sit still and wait for death, it will not be the end. How can your Majesty bear to see the great Han Dynasty being destroyed by the Cao family?"
Usurpation?"
Liu Xie cried and said: "I am now imprisoned in the palace by Cao Cao. I have no soldiers and no generals. Every move is under the surveillance of Cao Cao's minions. How can I deal with the traitorous Cao family? Now I can only hope that Yuan Shao will support hundreds of people."
With tens of thousands of people, we can defeat Cao Cao and save my great man."
"Your Majesty." Fu Shou pushed Liu Xie away, looked at Liu Xie's tearful eyes and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened in Luoyang? You were kidnapped by two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si, and you managed to escape with great difficulty.
Arriving at Luoyang, Cao Cao led Yanzhou soldiers to greet him. At that time, didn't you also think that Cao Cao was a loyal minister who wanted to help the big man?
But what is the result?
Does your Majesty think that Yuan Shao will be better than Cao Cao? Your Majesty, I think that the Han Dynasty is in chaos. Everyone is coveting the Han Dynasty and the ancestral temple. The princes with different surnames all have evil intentions. Dong Zhuo is like this, Li Jue and Guo Si are like this, Cao Cao is like this.
If this is the case, so will Yuan Shao."
"Then what should we do? Now only Yuan Shao can deal with Cao Cao. If we don't count on him, queen, what should I do?" Liu Xie asked anxiously.
Fu Shouqing frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Didn't the Emperor just say that Liu Zhang of Xichuan was determined to conquer Jingzhou? Liu Zhang is a descendant of the royal family. Doesn't the Emperor remember why Liu Zhang attacked Jingzhou? Isn't it because Dong's sister was killed and Liu Zhang wanted to send troops to attack it?
Cao is a thief, but Liu Biao of Jingzhou refuses to use the way?
Does the Emperor remember how Liu Yan's sons cooperated with Xiliang Ma Teng to attack Chang'an and rescue His Majesty when he was in Chang'an a few years ago? Liu Zhang's two brothers died for His Majesty, which shows that the Xichuan royal family cherishes the Han Dynasty.
A few years before Dong's sister was killed, Liu Zhang never left Sichuan, but just when Dong's sister was killed, the Xichuan army left Sichuan. Doesn't this prove something? Liu Zhang is loyal to his brother.
Liu Zhang was His Majesty's imperial uncle and cherished the Han Dynasty. Yizhou Mu was granted the title by the late emperor. He was much better than Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou appointed by Dong Zhuo, who was old and foolish and had no desire to serve.
Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, and now he has escaped from Hebei and is missing. At the critical moment of Sheji, if your Majesty doesn't count on Liu Zhang, who can you count on?
As long as your majesty sends an edict, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Xichuan will be able to serve the king with all their strength, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous, and your majesty will be able to return to the ninth five-year plan and become a true emperor."
Liu Xie stared blankly ahead for a long time, then murmured: "Yes, yes, the queen is right, I still have the emperor's uncle, the emperor Liu Zhang, and I still have the emperor's uncle's hundreds of thousands of troops, but the big man does not
Death...but, but." Liu Xie looked at Fu Shou: "But I am imprisoned in the palace, how can I convey the decree to the emperor's uncle?"
Last time, Dong Cheng, the father of Concubine Dong, was used to pass the edict on clothes and belts, which resulted in the death of Dong Cheng's entire family. Thinking of the horrific scene of Concubine Dong being hanged in front of him, Liu Xie no longer dared to do so.
Fu Shou thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in the next few days, several bald heads from poisonous countries will come to give lectures, do rituals, and hold an opening ceremony. Xun Yu will definitely let your Majesty attend.
My father has recruited a trustworthy maid to be a female monk. When the emperor pretends to be crazy during the ceremony, or falls and gets injured, I will take advantage of everyone's attention to the emperor and give the female monk the secret decree.
She brought it to Emperor Uncle Liu Zhang."
"Pretending to be crazy and falling down? Wouldn't that undermine the emperor's authority?..." Liu Xie looked at Fu Shou's eyes, paused leisurely, nodded and said: "Okay, okay."
Fu Shou sighed softly.
…
Jiangdong, Sun Quan ascended to the palace, and all the civil and military officials from Jiangdong paid homage. The veteran general Han Dang came out and said: "My lord, Jiangxia Weiwen sent a letter a few days ago."
"read."
Han Dang unfolded the bamboo slips and read loudly: "I heard that the arrogant husband and grandson from the east of the Yangtze River..."
Han Dang calmly stopped talking. After Jiang Fang soldiers received the letter, they didn't dare to open it and read it privately. Han Dang naturally didn't read it either. When he read it out, he realized that the wording was extremely rude and he couldn't read it anymore. The generals also knew it.
No matter what I will write later, my face will turn red with anger.
The gentle Sun Quan was calm and said in a deep voice: "Continue reading."
"yes."
Han Dang responded, and could only bite the bullet and continue reading: "My Lord was very sad to hear that Sun Ce, the ruthless man from Jiangdong, died at a young age. However, Jiangdong is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan was only in his twenties. My Lord is very worried that Jiangdong cannot be ruled for a long time.
, I specially send you a book list. I hope Zhongmou will read it sooner or later and be careful about yourself.
At that time, Jiangdong generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin invaded Jingzhou. They colluded with the traitor Liu Biao and the rest of his party and were captured. If Zhongmou wanted to redeem his body, he would have to collect the bodies of General Leng Bao from Xichuan and exchange them with Jiang Qin. Zhou Tai recovered from his injuries.
Because he was so serious, my master was afraid that he would die on the road, so he stayed in Jingzhou to recuperate.
The above is my Lord's kindness to Jiangdong. Wen Xin succeeded Jiangxia as the governor and heard about many heroes in Jiangdong. Zhou Gongjin and Lu Zijing were also known as the heroes of the moment. They defeated Huang Zu in the river. Now Wen Xin has not underestimated his ability and invited the heroes from Jiangdong.
He will hunt the river water, but if he fails, Wen will return to the Yunmeng River and never come out. I hope that the heroes in the east of the Yangtze River will not be like mice.
Wen acted as the pastor of Yizhou, my lord, and also took charge of Jingzhou. Liu Zhang, the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, submitted a letter to Zhongmou."
"How can it be that you, a little water thief, are deceiving me that there is no one in Jiangdong?" As soon as Han Dang finished practicing, Zhou Yu turned over the table in front of him and smashed the food plate and wine bottle on the floor.
The Jiangdong generals were also so angry that their chests heaved. It was not that Zhou Yu was short-tempered, but that Wei Wen's letter was too arrogant.
Sun Ce was Zhou Yu's sworn brother. Although he was the chief minister, he had a deep friendship with Wei Wen. He actually insulted a dead man who was still his brother. How could Zhou Yu not be angry?
Wei Wen drafted a letter on behalf of Liu Zhang, but his tone was as if he was on equal terms. As the governor of Jiangxia, he called Wu Hou Sun Quan "Zhong Mou". He was worried about the humiliation of his ministers and the death of his ministers. When Wei Wen insulted Sun Quan, he insulted the entire Jiangdong.
The revenge of the sneak attack on Sanjiangkou has not yet been settled. He refused to release Zhou Tai and continued to hunt in the river. Wei Wen was just a water thief, and now he is provoking the powerful people in Jiangdong. It is a great shame and humiliation.
No one who hears these three humiliations can look normal.
"My lord." Veteran general Huang Gai stood up and bowed to Sun Quan: "Young man from the Sichuan army is too rude. Please give me your order. I, the Jiangdong generals, are willing to fight to the death with the Sichuan army."
"Please give the order, my lord." All the generals stood up together.
"No." Zhang Zhao, a civil servant, immediately stood up: "Wei Wen's letter is clearly intended to arouse the lord's anger and induce our army to engage in a decisive battle with the Sichuan army and navy. We must not be fooled by this."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
A large number of civil servants came out one after another.
"Oh, you were fooled?" Zhou Yu stood up and said to Zhang Zhao and others: "Sir, what you mean is that our Jiangdong Army is no longer a match for the Sichuan Army and Navy? I, Zhou Yu, dare not boast about Haikou, but I also want to hear your opinion, why?
Do you think our Jiangdong Army is no match for the Sichuan Army and Navy?"
Zhang Zhao was speechless. He was an expert in internal affairs, but he knew nothing about military matters. How could he talk about military affairs and analyze the pros and cons?
Zhou Yu smiled. These civil servants were used to opposing him for the sake of opposition. He cupped his fists at Sun Quan and said, "My lord, Wei Wen Zhixin really wants to provoke Jiangdong. Now Liu Zhang has 80,000 naval troops. Our army has just suffered a disastrous defeat at Sanjiangkou.
Not only was morale demoralized, but there were only more than 30,000 naval troops left, less than half that of Jingzhou.
However, the Jingzhou navy had just changed hands and generals, and its foundation was at its weakest. Wei Wen was provocative and extremely arrogant at this time. Our army could just lead the troops north, and I would personally lead the army to look for opportunities to defeat the enemy.
Wei Wen was born a water thief, and his strength in water warfare is unknown. Let me give him a try. If I can find a fighter plane, I will break it. If I can't find a fighter plane, I will retreat to the mouth of the lake. I can also grasp the strength of the Sichuan navy. I don't know what the Lord's will is.
"
Sun Quan sat behind the desk and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Lu Su, who had been silent beside him: "Zijing, what do you think?"
After Han Dang read the letter, only Sun Quan and Lu Su looked normal.
Lu Su hesitated for a moment, shook his robe, stood up and bowed to Sun Quan: "My lord, I think it makes sense to fight or not to fight, but I think it is better not to fight."
"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Sun Quan asked with interest.
Lu Su said: "Now we are confronting the Sichuan army across the river. The situation is that the Sichuan army is strong and we are weak. The Sichuan army is scattered but we are strong. Wei Wen has little experience in water warfare, while Zhou Dadudu has rich experience in water warfare. And most importantly, the current situation
, we in Jiangdong are the biggest threat to Jingzhou.
Therefore, Lu Su believed that Wei Wen had three purposes for writing this letter.
The Governor of Zhou wanted to take advantage of the battle and was familiar with the combat power of the Sichuan Army and Navy. Wei Wen did not want to use the battle to consolidate the navy under his command. Now that the Sichuan Army is strong and we are weak, according to normal expectations, the Sichuan Army has a greater chance of victory. Of course, our army has a Commander-in-Chief
Leading the army will never be defeated, but Governor Zhou only wanted to familiarize himself with the combat power of the Sichuan army and navy, so the Sichuan army would not be defeated. In this way, the Sichuan army would have a victory but not a defeat, and it would be too high for Wei Wen to build up his prestige through the battle.
Just now, Mr. Zhang and Governor Zhou both said that Wei Wen's letter was to induce our army to go to war. Lu Su felt that it was very possible. Wei Wen was a water thief and had a bad reputation in the river. Lu Su knew that he was used to hiding, and
It's not that he was arrogant and domineering. Even if he was arrogant and domineering, Wei Wen would never dare to write such a letter without Liu Zhang's instructions. Therefore, Wei Wen must have come to provoke Jiangdong's army to fight.
Nowadays, the Sichuan army is gathering in Jingbei. The purpose is unclear. The most likely purpose is to shrink the troops and consolidate the foundation. However, with Liu Zhang's character, the possibility of continuing the campaign cannot be ruled out. Whether it is to consolidate the foundation or continue the expedition, the Jiangdong navy is the biggest threat to Jingzhou. As long as it
After severely damaging our Jiangdong Navy, the Yizhou Butchers can run rampant and do it with ease, whether in the Northern Expedition or rest and reorganization. It is even possible that because our Jiangdong Navy has been severely damaged, they may plot against Jiangdong.
We deceived the Sichuan army and navy, and Liu Zhang and Wei Wen deceived me to change the master of Jiangdong and establish a new lord. Although his virtue and talent are obvious, after all, the time is still short. If the internal instability is not stable, there is no conquest.
From the above analysis, Liu Zhang wanted to use the war to eliminate the threat to our Jiangdong, and Wei Wen wanted to use the war to establish prestige and integrate the navy. The entire Sichuan army wanted to take advantage of the change of ownership in our Jiangdong to hurt the vitality of our Jiangdong. Therefore, Lu Su advised the lord not to fight, and asked the lord to think again.
"
"Hahahaha." Sun Quan said with a smile: "Lu Su's words are a wake-up call. Gong Jin, what do you mean? You are the Commander-in-Chief. The battle and peace of our Jiangdong navy are all decided by you. I will never interfere."
Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Su and bowed to Sun Quan: "My lord, can you allow me to consider this matter carefully and report back to my lord later?"
"Of course you can." Sun Quan stood up and said to the civil and military officials: "Zi Bu and the princesses are making peace to protect our Jiangdong. Gong Jin and the generals are asking for war to bring glory to our Jiangdong. They are all the pillars of our Jiangdong. Civil and military affairs are like this. Why?
I am worried that Jiangdong is not prosperous."
"I will follow my lord to the death and work hard to secure Jiangdong forever." All the civil and military officials bowed down together.
…………
Zhou Yu walked out of the mansion and saw Lu Su looking at him in front of the carriage. He walked forward and said with a smile, "Does Zijing know that I have something to say to you?"
Lu Su laughed and said: "Gong Jin is dissatisfied with me, Lu Su, how can I still not notice it?"
Zhou Yu deliberately made a serious face and said: "It turns out that Zijing also knows that the three plots of Liu Zhang you analyzed in the hall just now do have ulterior motives, but they are all based on the victory of the Sichuan army, or the invincibility of the Sichuan army. Could it be that Zijing
You can’t trust me, Zhou Yu, even Xiaozhe, the Yunmengze water thief, for a few battles?"
"Of course it will happen, of course it will happen. Even if the governor can't do anything, I, Jiangdong, can't succeed." Lu Su stroked his beard and laughed a few times, then solemnly said: "There are just some things that I can't say in the hall, Gong Jin.
, now is not the best time to attack Jingzhou.
Now Liu Zhang is in Jingzhou, with 80,000 navy troops and 150,000 infantry troops. With the momentum of a great victory, the army is at its peak. Liu Zhang is sitting in Jingzhou, and no one dares to resist. If we attack Jingzhou now, it will be monolithic. It is really unwise.
.
My idea is that although Jingzhou was occupied by the Sichuan Army, its foundation is extremely unstable. Not to mention that there are bandits and robbers everywhere. In many counties and cities, even the civil servants are not lined up. One person is in charge of multiple ministries. The people's livelihood is in ruins.
Liu Zhang massacred 60,000 people in Xiangyang, and the whole family was resentful. Under such circumstances, what will happen to Jingzhou as soon as Liu Zhang leaves Jingxiang?"
Lu Su said in a deep voice: "There will be chaos in Jingxiang. At that time, if our army attempts to attack Jingzhou again, it will be like an iron spear piercing the mat with a snap of the finger. It will not only gain land but also people's hearts. Liu Zhang is far away and can resist us."
what?
It is not appropriate for outsiders to know about this policy, so I just wiped out the Governor Huwei in the hall, and I hope the Governor will not blame him." Lu Su bowed to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu helped Lu Su up and said: "Is there anything strange between you and me? Just now I knew that Zijing had something to say, so I told the lord to think about it. It is true. Since Zijing said so, then I, Zhou Yu,
Just wait a little longer.
But there is still some resentment in his heart. Liu Zhang first killed my general, seized my city, killed the third general Sun Yi, and teased my brother on the bank of the river. He, Liu Zhang, was also involved in my brother's death.
Today you have humiliated my Jiangdong monarch and ministers three more times. If this evil thief is not eliminated for one day, I, Zhou Yu, will be very angry."
"Hahaha." Lu Su laughed: "Don't worry, Governor, now my new lord is broad-minded and worthy of being a wise master. With you and me assisting him, he can station troops and firewood, raise troops and calm the people. It will only be a matter of time before Jiangdong becomes strong, and sooner or later the Governor's spirit will be strong."
It will be eliminated, and sooner or later our debt with Liu Zhang will be fully recovered."
…………
Sun Quan was sitting alone on the desk, looking at the book, and suddenly he smashed the book on the table. At this moment, the wife came in with some refreshments. Seeing Sun Quan's actions, she stepped forward and said, "Why, Quan'er, why are you so upset?"
Something?"
Sun Quan turned around and saw his mother, and immediately smiled and said, "My child is fine. He is just a little irritable. He will be fine in a while."
"Alas." Mrs. Tai sighed: "I have heard what happened in the hall. As civil servants, Zhang Zhao and others are a little afraid of trouble. Zhou Yu and other generals are eager to perform meritorious service and naturally take charge of the battle. This is all within reason. It is just a pain for you.
, if you are less than 20 years old, you have to live in the middle.
Fortunately, Lu Su is a sensible person. When your brother was here, he said that with this person, Jiangdong would be worry-free for twenty years, and he should be able to share some of your burdens."
"Lu Su is also a civil servant, but he is more sophisticated." Sun Quan said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" The lady didn't hear clearly.
Sun Quan raised his head and smiled and said: "Haha, mother is right. My late brother left a last word to rely on military generals and control civil servants. Only with Lu Su's presence can the civil and military forces in Jiangdong work together and be truly talented. Mother should go to bed early."
After the lady put down the tea, Sun Quan was left alone in the dark room, fiddling with the bundles of bamboo slips, with a strange smile on his face, "Great talent? Don't you just want to protect Jiangdong? If you protect Jiangdong, you are a great talent."
I have no worries for twenty years. If the army goes out in all directions, you will be the biggest resistance. You are much better than other civil servants."
