Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 662

"Zitong, are you joking?" Chen Qun asked.

Jiang Ji shook his head and replied: "No, this is exactly the coup that the Taiwei came up with."

"What's so wonderful? Why can't I see it?" Chen Qun asked with question marks all over his face.

Jiang Ji laughed and said, "If everyone can figure it out, wouldn't everyone be able to be a captain?"

"I would like to hear the details." Chen Qun calmed down, he wanted to know where the second was.

Jiang Ji was sitting in danger, and explained in a low voice: "First of all, the Sima family is a prominent family in Hanoi, no one is willing to be charged with such a serious crime, even if the assassin is really from Jiangdong.

The Sima brothers will not be persecuted when they arrive in Jiangdong, and they may be raised by Sun Quan as honored guests. Moreover, the murderer is very likely to be in Wei State. Liu Bei and us are sworn enemies. Jiangdong is the safest in the world. "

"Hiss, it's really a conspiracy, I can't figure it out anyway, but how can I let the lord send him away, after all he is very close to Zhongda, and why would Sun Quan accept it?" Chen Qun asked.

Jiang Ji continued to answer: "This matter requires Changwen to work hard, persuade those officials who support the Sima family, let them accuse Zhongda of accepting bribes and betraying the country, and encourage the king to expel Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers. Then I will talk to the king again. Let him give the two brothers to Sun Quan."

"It's really a death plan, but we can do whatever we want here, how could Sun Quan be obedient?" Chen Qun questioned again.

"If Sun Quan dare not accept it, it means that he is very guilty. Moreover, the king is now heavily suppressed. In order to seek peace, Sun Quan accepted two down-and-out children. It should not be a big problem." Jiang Ji shook his head lightly.

Chen Qun sighed: "Jia Taiwei is really exhaustive, but a good Hanoi family, from now on it should decline and become a poor family."

"Under this situation, it is good to be able to continue the bloodline. Besides, even if Sun Quan pretends to be a nobleman in Jiangdong, he will treat Brother Sima very well." Jiang Ji patted Chen Qun on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Then I'll get in touch as soon as possible." Chen Qun nodded lightly, thinking that it was just to test Cao Hong's reaction. If the other party insisted on not letting him go, Sima Miemen would have to overturn the case.

In the time that Cao Ying took over, undercurrents surged, and the topics of Sima Yi's bribery and betrayal became rampant.

Cao Pi finally couldn't bear the pressure, and sent his cronies to Yecheng to pick up Brother Sima, but Cao Hong released them readily.

Zhuge Jin returned to Ruxuwu and relayed Cao Pi's words to Sun Quan.

Seeing Cao Pi's lion opening his mouth, Sun Quan couldn't think of what to give as a congratulatory gift for a while. As for the matter of destroying Sima's family, he didn't want to be charged with this crime. The obedient Jiangdong gentry, aren't they the meat on the chopping board?
When everyone was deep in thought, Ruxu Governor Zhou Tai made a suggestion: "My lord, we are planting rice in Wanxian, Juchao, Linhu, and Xiang'an. Now there is only one month left before the autumn harvest. Anyway, I have withdrawn the villagers to Jiangdong. , why not make them cheaper?"

"Eh, it's a solution, but Cao Pi may not be satisfied." Sun Quan nodded.

Zhang Zhao then added: "The so-called negotiation, of course, is to talk back and forth. Cao Pi's 10 people came empty-handed, and it's not bad for each of them to bring back two bundles of rice. Tzuyu travels a few more times, saving money and food for Jiangdong is the kingly way." , I can't bear to negotiate with Lan Tian again."

Sun Quan made a final decision, and encouraged Zhuge Jin: "The military adviser is right. Didn't Cao Pi want sincerity? I'll send Yu Jin back first, and then let them cut the rice. It's not out of the ordinary. Ziyu resigns and works hard before going Shuxian, let's see what he says this time."

"What about the assassin?" Zhuge Jin reminded.

"Don't take the initiative to mention it first. If Cao Pi chases after him, just say that I have sent someone to investigate." Sun Quan planned to use delaying tactics.

"Wei." Zhuge Jin once again embarked on the road of envoy.

Cao Pi came all the way, not to harvest rice. He is about to proclaim himself emperor in the Han Dynasty, and what he wants is fame and legal principles.

Zhuge Jin sent Yu Jin to Shu County, and returned to Ruxuwu again under the guidance of Jia Xu and others.

When leaving Cao Ying, Xu Chu brought up the old matter again, which once again put great pressure on Zhuge Jin.

During the negotiation, Xu Sheng led Jiangdong warships to Chaohu for reconnaissance. Cao Pi's navy retreated from the Chaohu water village, which seemed to be used as a restraint for Wei Guobu's cavalry. Lu Xun led [-] infantry from Danyang and rushed to Ruxu Dock to support.

When Zhuge Jin returned to Ruxuwu, the Jiangdong officials gathered to discuss countermeasures. Zhang Zhao spoke first: "Cao Cao took down the northern Kyushu under the orders of the emperor, and the emperor of Xudu has long been a puppet. The government has survived in name only, and now it is the general trend that Cao Pi wants to replace Han as emperor, if the lord does not follow, Jiangdong will be ruined."

"Bo Yan, the ministers recommended you to be the governor. I have agreed to it before. After returning to Jianye, you will formally pay homage to the general. Now you can talk about your views." Sun Quan threw the problem to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun clasped his fists and said: "What the military adviser said is not unreasonable. Cao Pi's [-] troops to deter Huainan this time has no intention of fighting at all. The purpose is to use our Jiangdong to establish prestige and build momentum for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"Hmph, Cao Pi is a bully, why doesn't he go to Jingzhou to seek Guan Yu's prestige?" Sun Quan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Seeing this, Lu Xun continued: "If my lord wants to fight Cao Pi, I would like to issue a military order and stick to Ruxu, and I will never let Cao Pi go any further."

"Can you defeat Cao Pi and take Hefei?" Sun Quan asked.

"Uh, after all, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and our army. Not to mention taking the strong city of Hefei in a counterattack, it is not easy to defeat Cao Ren." Lu Xun shook his head in embarrassment, thinking that everyone recommends me, but I am also an ordinary person.

"Then we can only fight with Cao Pi to consume it," Sun Quan said to himself.

Hearing this, Zhang Wen added: "My lord, it's not easy to raise food and grass in the future. Once we have a protracted battle with Cao Jun, we may not be able to take advantage of it."

Seeing everyone's frowning faces, Zhang Zhao walked slowly to the center of the room, and appealed loudly: "The old minister suggested that we temporarily surrender to Wei Guo. Cao Pi wants face and prestige, so why don't we give it to him? What Jiang Dong wants now is to recuperate, don't worry about it." For those vain things, the lord is still the lord of Jiangdong, so it doesn’t matter if Cao Pi gets his name, do you think so?”

Lu Xun, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and others all lowered their heads, while Zhuge Jin kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, thinking that only Zibu dared to be so bold.

Sun Quan's eyelids kept twitching, and at this moment he remembered the scene on the eve of Chibi.

Lu Su's words are still in my ears: Everyone can surrender to Cao, but the general cannot surrender to Cao.
"My lord, don't hesitate any longer. With Jiangdong's current national strength, how long can we spend with Cao Pi? And it's only a name to surrender Cao Pi. In fact, nothing has changed. If you are inconvenient to write the letter of surrender, Zhao can write it for you. The skin is the most useless." Zhang Zhao gently patted his wrinkled cheeks.

"The military division can figure it out." Sun Quan thought for a long time and could only compromise.

Having just gone through the Jingzhou War, Jiangdong really does not have the national power to fight Cao Pi. As for Zhang Zhao's face, Sun Quan has already become numb.

Whether it is right or wrong can only be judged by future generations.
