Chapter 2545 Jia Wenhe's plan, the new crown prince Sun Quan

Chapter 2541: Jia Wenhe's plan, the new crown prince Sun Quan

Sun Jian's heart to save Sun Ce is both firm and urgent, even if it is a national war with Chu, he will not hesitate.

But the problem is that the real difficulty in saving Sun Ce is not the war, but how to save the living Sun Ce.

At this time, after several major defeats, the state of Chu was indeed much weaker than the state of Wu. Once a decisive battle broke out, the state of Wu would obviously have the upper hand.

But once the national war broke out, what if it really annoyed Liu Xiu and directly killed Sun Ce and sacrificed the flag?This is also what Sun Jian does not want to see no matter what.
Therefore, negotiating is the best way to let Sun Ce return to Soochow alive, and Sun Jian is also willing to cede land and pay indemnities to redeem Sun Ce.

But the more Sun Jian paid attention to Sun Ce, the more confident Liu Xiu became.

It was impossible for Sun Jian to agree to Liu Xiu's request, but he wanted to redeem his son, so he could only put pressure on Liu Xiu from other aspects to redeem Sun Ce at the lowest price possible.

Hearing Jia Xu's remarks, Ying Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's reply to Sun Jian, let's just say that I, Daqin, have insufficient troops in Jingbei, so I can't increase troops to Jiangling and Zhangling in the short term, but I will fully support Wu in other aspects. country."

The implication of Ying Hao's remarks is that it doesn't matter if he sends troops, but Daqin will support Wu State spiritually.

The war in Daqin has only been extinguished now, so how could Ying Hao start the war in Jingbei again for a Sun Ce?Even if Sun Ce is his future eldest brother.

Moreover, even if Daqin really sent more troops to Jingbei, Liu Xiu would not necessarily be threatened by Daqin.

After all, it is impossible for Liu Xiu not to know that before the destruction of the Wei, Song and Ming kingdoms and the complete occupation of the Central Plains, it is impossible for Da Qin to send troops to Chu.

Therefore, just adding more troops would not threaten Chu at all, but would make Wei and Song tense.

Therefore, it is impossible to increase troops to Jingbei.

"Sun Jian is also desperately ill and goes to the doctor. As long as it helps to redeem Sun Ce, he wants to try it now." Jia Xu said.

"Oh? In addition to wanting my Daqin to increase troops to Jingbei, what other bad ideas did Sun Jian think of?" Ying Hao asked

"Now there are even people in Wu who propose to abolish Sun Ce's crown prince and establish a new crown prince, and Sun Jian seems to be quite moved." Jia Xu said.

Ying Hao laughed when he heard the words: "Hehe, didn't the Chu state say that Prince Wu was worth three and a half counties, then as long as Sun Ce was not the prince of Wu, he wouldn't be worth three and a half counties. He can be redeemed at the lowest price, which is really God's logic."

Sun Jian would have the idea of ​​abolishing the prince. Naturally, he didn't really want to abolish Sun Ce's crown, but to abolish the prince to save Sun Ce.

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Ying Hao's heart moved, and he said, "If Sun Ce is abolished, even if it's just a show, the new prince of Wu Guoxin is probably Sun Quan."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right, except for this Sun Quan, none of Sun Jian's other sons have the prestige to become crown princes."

"If Sun Quan becomes the crown prince, I'm afraid he won't be reconciled, just be a tool to redeem Sun Ce.

If Sun Jian really wanted to abolish Sun Ce and replace Sun Quan as the crown prince, even if he could save Sun Ce, he would probably leave a hidden danger for Wu Neidou. "

Ying Hao said with a sigh, after all, among the major princes, the Wu Kingdom has always been the most united, and now due to the problem of the successor, a crack is about to appear in the interior.

"My lord, according to the information received by the old minister, Sun Quan is not honest. Maybe Sun Ce was captured, or maybe it was because of Sun Quan's leaking of secrets." Jia Xu said solemnly.

"Oh? Taifu, come quickly."

"promise."

Then Jia Xu told Ying Hao all the information he had obtained about the inside of Wu State and the conclusions he came to after his own analysis.

"...The many battles that took place in Jiangxia show that the state of Chu knows everything about Sun Ce and Sun Wu's army.

Therefore, there must be a spy within Wu State, and this person's status is not low.

Sun Quan happened to be in charge of Wu Jun's logistics, and once Sun Ce was captured, he would benefit the most.

Therefore, the old minister boldly speculated that Sun Quan was definitely not clean. "

Jia Xu analyzed it in a leisurely manner, hearing Ying Hao nodding, it really makes sense after all.

"If it's really what Sun Quan did, then he will definitely launch one or several scapegoats to clear his suspicions," Ying Hao said.

This is actually inevitable, and it is not difficult to operate. After all, it is enough to find a few people to blame, and if the suspicion cannot be washed away, even if it is a tool person, Sun Jian will never let Sun Quan take it.

"By the way, lord, Hei Bingtai also found out that there was a counselor named Zhong Da beside Sun Quan, and his behavior was quite strange, as if he was deliberately provoking a fight within Wu." Jia Xu said.

"Zhongda?"

Ying Hao frowned slightly and asked, "What did he do?"

Immediately, Jia Xu put Zhong Da in Sun Quan's position, and even though everyone was not optimistic, he still assisted Sun Quan in governing Kuaiji County, and later told Sun Jian's refusal twice in a row.

"This Zhong Da is a bit interesting. He didn't want the high official and generous salary that Sun Jian promised, but he went to help a weak prince. What do you think he wants?"

The corners of Ying Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered: "I see this person, [-]% of them are the works of Chu, and there is something wrong with the name Zhong Da, it should not be his real name.

Zhong Da, Zhong Da, hehe, do you think that changing your name and changing your face will be able to hide it from the world? "

Ying Haoyuefa felt that Zhong Da's behavior and way of doing things were very similar to Sima Yi, so he said: "In the future, pay more attention to this Zhong Da. I suspect that this is the traitor of the Sima family who has disappeared, Sima Yi."

"This... No."

Jia Xu couldn't help being surprised. He only suspected that Zhong Da belonged to Chu, but he did not associate Zhong Da with Sima Yi.

Before Zhong Da's status was not high, if it wasn't for Sun Ce's business, Jia Xu would not have noticed him at all, and naturally he would not have any doubts.

Now, with Ying Hao's words, coupled with the fact that Zhong Da's behavior is really contradictory, this undoubtedly aggravates Jia Xu's suspicion of him.

After a period of investigation, Jia Xu did not have any evidence, but he felt more and more that this Zhong Da was the long-disappeared Sima Yi.

As for the purpose of his lurking around Sun Quan, Jia Xu naturally guessed that it was nothing more than weakening and provoking internal turmoil in Wu, so as to help Chu State to annex Wu State.

Jia Xu's face was full of insidious colors, and he sneered: "Your Majesty, Chu Guo definitely wants to stir up internal turmoil in Wu, so as to profit from it, but this minister believes that this is more good than bad for my Qin."

Ying Hao's heart moved, and he roughly understood what Jia Xu meant, but he still said, "Teacher, please talk about it."

"promise.

In another year at most, I, Da Qin, will use troops against the Central Plains, and if Wu State is stable and harmonious, Chu State will naturally not use troops against Wu State.

If there is no war between Chu and Wu, then we will never watch our Daqin occupy the Central Plains, and we will definitely help the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, and it will be more difficult for our Daqin to occupy the Central Plains.

Therefore, to let Zhong Da provoke internal strife in Wu and give hope to Chu State to annex Wu State, for me, Da Qin, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "

Ying Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also analyzed the pros and cons in his heart.

As Jia Xu said, if there is no war between Wu and Chu, they will definitely keep their guns open to prevent Da Qin from occupying the Central Plains and attacking and destroying the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.

Therefore, from the perspective of Daqin, it is best to give the hope of Chu State to annex Wu State, let the two countries continue to fight, and be powerless to prevent Daqin from annexing the Central Plains.

"Taifu's remarks are very true. From this point of view, my Daqin will support Sun Jian and make Sun Quan the crown prince.

Mrs. Jia, I'll leave it to you about Wu Chu.

However, this proportion must be grasped just right, so that the State of Chu cannot really swallow the State of Wu. "

Ying Hao said with a smile, he is a professional to pit teammates.

Not only the ally of the state of Wu, but also the two countries of Wei and Song, he is also ready to take a stab at it.

For these allies who hindered his great cause of unification, he had no psychological burden at all.

"The old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

Jia Xu bowed his hands in salute, but the spark of conspiracy flashed in his eyes.

This kind of secretly playing around with others, but others don't know his existence, is also one of Jia Xu's few great pleasures.

At this time, Sun Quan, who was far away in Lujiang, didn't know that he had been assigned by Jia Xu, but he felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and then suddenly sneezed.

"Ah and..."

Sun Quan rubbed his nose and asked his subordinates, "How are things going?"

"Master Qi, he has already found a scapegoat, and he also promised to take care of everything on his own. The only requirement is to ask the prince to greet his family."

"No trace left?"

"Absolutely not. Except for the subordinates, there is no second person who knows about this."

"it is good."

Sun Quan picked up the teacup and sang softly, his hand slipped, and the teacup fell directly to the ground.

search, search, search...

Ten black shadows fell from the beams, surrounding the men in black in the middle of the lobby, and then directly attacked under their surprised and horrified gazes.

The person under siege has a half-step grandmaster level of cultivation, but under the siege of ten super-first-class masters, they still have no power to fight back, and they have been hacked to death without even leaving their last words.

After the man was hacked to death, the people in black directly dragged the body away, and then rinsed the blood stains with clean water, and the entire lobby looked brand new again, as if nothing had happened.

"Don't blame me."

Sun Quan muttered to himself, he didn't want to kill his strongest subordinate, but the other party knew too much. His life was his biggest flaw, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Ever since he colluded with the state of Chu, Sun Quan has been in a constant state of panic, because the situation is completely beyond his control and is not under his control at all.

First of all, Chu State did not directly get rid of Sun Ce, a confidant, as agreed with him, but used Sun Ce to force Wu State to cede land and pay indemnity.

Secondly, Sun Wu not only did not wipe out the entire army, but also discovered that there were traitors in Wu State, and Sun Ce was captured because of leaking secrets, and his father, Sun Jian, was naturally furious, and has now sent someone to investigate the matter.

The eldest brother Sun Ce was not dead, and he was at risk of being exposed. This made Sun Quan realize that he was being used by Liu Xiu, and his heart was full of urgency. For him, the most important thing at the moment was to clear the suspicion in time.

Since Sun Quan dared to collude with the state of Chu, he was naturally very careful, and he didn't show too much of a clue, so it was not difficult to clear his suspicions, as long as he could find a scapegoat to take the blame, and now he has found the scapegoat.

After the suspicion is cleared, Sun Quan can also plan the second thing, which is to use the excuse of rescuing the eldest brother to encourage his father Sun Jian to abolish the position of the eldest brother's prince, and temporarily establish himself as the prince.

This is also the strategy that Sun Quan's most trusted advisor Zhong Da offered to him. As long as he can sit on the throne of the prince, even if it is only temporary, he can also use other means to attack the prestige of the elder brother and let him give up the fight with himself for the king of Wu. position.

At this time, although Sun Quan was conspiring to murder his brother, he had never thought about murdering his biological father, Sun Jian, but with Sima Yi behind him and Da Qin's tacit approval, he was going further and further on a road of no return.

"King Wu has an order to pass on Sun Quan, the prefect of Lujiang, to return to Jianye immediately. There must be no mistake."

"The minister, Sun Quan, accepted the order."

Sun Quan resisted the excitement in his heart, and issued an edict from the messenger. He knew that the father and the king recruited him to Jianye at this time. It must be Zhong Da's plan.
