Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 379: Holding Sun Quan hostage?

In 232 A.D., the tenth year of Jianxing, Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty, June.

Zhuge Liang, the prime minister above Liu Chan, was the minister of administration and administration, and was in charge of all matters inside and outside the palace. So he went east to the meeting at the invitation of Emperor Wu Sun Quan to show that the big man had no intention of peeping at Jingzhou.

It is summer, the heat is transpiring, the heat is unbearable, and it is rainy, and the river is rising.The fleet of the Dahandong Ship sailed fast on the river day and night, like a long dragon.

The sky is hazy, and the quietest time in the canyon is also the coolest time.

Liu Chan stood at the bow of the boat in a robe, looking at the morning scene.At this time, the full moon is still hanging on the mountain peak towards the stern of the ship, and the sun is rising towards the bow of the ship.

Of course, Liu Chan was not the only one. Before Liu Chan came out, Liao Li stood outside, looking at the rolling Yangtze River, his thoughts were not knowing where to go.

A gust of morning wind blew, Liu Chan tightened his robe and asked, "Gong Yuan, did you have anything important last night?"

"Ah!" Liao Li came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, last night Dong Lixiong sent people to report to His Majesty in a small boat about the Han-Wu League meeting. Seeing that it was late at night, I was afraid of disturbing Your Majesty, so I ordered Throw it back and accept the memorial."

As he spoke, Liao Li took out Dong Lixiong's memorial from his bosom, and said, "Dong Lixiong thought that I, a big man, could imitate King Zhaoxiang of Qin's detainment of King Huai of Chu and detain Sun Quan, who was going to the appointment, in order to coerce Soochow to cede several counties in Jingzhou. With me big man."

Hearing this, Liu Chan was a little taken aback, and opened the memorabilia to read it.Dong Lixiong believes that now is a good opportunity for the big man to seize Jingzhou, and Sun Quan will go to Jingzhou to join the alliance. If Sun Quan can be captured in the alliance.Soochow must be panicked and at a loss in a short period of time. The big man can take the opportunity to enter, lead his army east, and capture several counties in Jingzhou.

Even if Soochow reacted quickly, the big man could not conquer Jingzhou.But based on Sun Quan's authority, the Han can also use Sun Quan as a threat to force Soochow to cede Jingzhou Nanjun, Wuling and other counties.At that time, the great Han will send generals to Xiangyang in the north and Hanshui in the east, and the two will echo, and the land of Jingbei will be at your fingertips!
If the big Han can completely occupy Jingzhou, they can pacify Sun Wu and attack Cao Wei in the north; they can capture Guanzhong and disturb the Central Plains if they retreat.The strategy adopted by the Great Han Dynasty to set the world is newly formulated due to different current situations, and we should not stick to the old strategies.

In the end, Dong Lixiong emphasized that Lao Liu just didn't listen to Pang Tong's words to capture Liu Zhang, so Yizhou took several years to fall, and Ma Chao missed the good opportunity to capture Yongzhou and Liangzhou when Ma Chao was in trouble in Longyou.This moment is just like that moment, I hope Your Majesty will not miss the opportunity to seize Jingzhou because of the actions of a gentleman.

The flags on the boat were fluttering, and Liu Chan was lost in thought with Dong Lixiong's memorabilia, and left to talk about Lao Liu's words.It has to be said that Dong Lixiong's suggestion has merits.

The land of Jingzhou can be described as the revolving door of the world, connecting the Central Plains in the north, Bashu in the west, Yangzhou in the east, and Jiaozhou in the south.In the future, if the big man conquers Guanzhong and goes east in the future, he will definitely fight Cao Wei in the Tongguan and Puban areas. At that time, the big man's battlefield is far away from Yizhou, a cow, and the cost of fighting is definitely not as good as Cao Wei.

At that time, if the big man has Jingzhou, I am afraid that everything will be different!
"Your Majesty!" Liao Li called out.

"En!" Liu Chan closed the memorial and said calmly, "Gong Yuan, what do you think of Dong Lixiong's words?"

The river wind blew Liao Li's robe, and Liao Li faced the wind and said: "I think Dong Lixiong's words are not acceptable. The great Han has not yet fallen in Guanzhong, and the power against Wei is still there. We should not lightly start a war with Soochow. As Li Xiong said, capture Sun Quan to threaten Soochow to cut off the land, and the great Han might invade Jingzhou."

"What if Sun Quan imitated King Huai of Chu and vowed to die not to humiliate the country? We must know that Sun Deng, the son of Sun Quan, is virtuous and benevolent. Sun Quan loved him deeply. He took Zhou Yu's daughter as his wife, appointed Zhuge Ke as his companion, and made Lu Xun his assistant. Sun Quan Once he is detained by my big man, Sun Deng will definitely proclaim himself emperor, and then my big man will be in a dilemma!"

Liu Chan nodded slightly. After all, Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the later Ming Dynasty, was defeated and captured. The general of the Ming Dynasty did not dedicate the city, but made his younger brother Zhu Qiyu the emperor, and continued to fight against Wala under the leadership of Yu Qian.

Now there are many virtuous ministers in Eastern Wu, Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, Quan Cong, Lu Dai, Bu Zhi and others are not inferior to those in the Ming Dynasty, how difficult it is to take the opportunity to conquer Jingzhou!
"Your Majesty is safe!"

Fei Yi also finished cleaning, walked out of the cabin, and saluted Liu Chan.

"Wen Wei! No courtesy."

Liu Chan looked over to see Fei Yi, and greeted him, "Wen Wei came just in time, let's take a look at this book first. What do you think?"

Fei Yi took the memorial curiously, and after reading it for a while, he pondered and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that it is not acceptable to hold Sun Quan hostage. Although this time is a matter of my big man choosing a site and setting up an alliance, it is impossible for Sun Quan to be free this time." Prepare, if I can't hit a big man, I will definitely hate Wu, and with Sun Quan's heart, I will definitely send troops to attack the big man."

"Cao Rui, the thief, will not be like Cao Pi when he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. He will order people to attack my great Han and seize our Han Liang and Qinzhou to avenge the past. I think Dong Lixiong's alienation is unpredictable. , because he ordered people to monitor Dong Lixiong to see if he was a traitor against Wei."

"A traitor against Wei?" Liu Chan asked rhetorically.

"Exactly! Your Majesty must not forget the case of Yinfan in Dongwu last year. Yinfan defected from Qingzhou to Dongwu, and he also recommended himself to Sun Quan. Later, because of the war, Yinfan wanted to report the news and was investigated by the Wu people. Now Donglixiong came from Dongwu. The land of Xuzhou defected to our great man thousands of miles away, and provoked our great man to make an alliance with Soochow several times, which seems to be against Wei for profit, so it must be investigated."

In 230, Yinfan from Beihai entered Wu. Because he was loved by Sun Quan, he was regarded as a member of the Huaisi Group and promoted to Tingweijian.Make friends with various celebrities, such as Jingzhou nobles, Wujun nobles, Ting Wei Hao Pu, general Zhu Ju, praise him as Wang Zuo's talent; Quan Cong treats him wholeheartedly.

In 231, because of Sun Bu's fraudulent surrender to Wang Ling, Yinbo had to act in advance, which led to the Dongchuang incident.Afterwards Ting Wei Hao Pu was forced to commit suicide, Zhu Ju was imprisoned, and Quan Cong got away with getting away with marrying Sun Luban.

After hearing about the Yinfan case, Liu Chan couldn't help but think of the Guo Xun case that affected the fate of the Shu Han. Guo Xun sent Guo Xun to assassinate Fei Yi in front of him, causing the political situation of the Shu Han to be completely chaotic.

The fact that Dong Lixiong is a spy would rather be believed than not.What's more, he often provokes the relationship between Han and Wu, so that the big man can focus on Soochow, which has to make people suspicious.

Liu Chan pursed his lips and paced back and forth on the deck. After a long time, he said: "Wen Wei's words are not unreasonable. It's just that Yinbo and Shangzuo attacked Jingzhou. It may be inappropriate to regard them as spies. Besides There are many righteous people in the country, and if they are not handled properly, there will be troubles.”

In the Han Dynasty, there were many descendants from the original Cao Wei, such as Shi Youchu, Governor of Qin Prefecture, Sima Jiangwei of Liangzhou, Yin Shang, Liang Xu, and others from various prefectures, and Hu Zun, a man from Anding who had not yet surrendered.If it is not handled properly, there will definitely be disturbances in the local area.

After a pause, Liu Chan continued: "However, he must be guarded against being a spy. Therefore, this person cannot stay in Chengdu. He must be appointed outside the Central Plains and away from the Central Plains. Only by doing it can we force ourselves to believe it.”

Being a local official abroad can minimize Dong Lixiong's influence. If Dong Lixiong commits misdemeanors in the local area, he can also be punished for failure of governance. At that time, the nature of the case will not be a spy issue, but political issues.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fei Yi praised.

Liu Chan waved his hand and ordered: "Leave this matter to Wen Wei, and ask the Prime Minister to arrange Dong Lixiong to serve in Nanzhong. At the same time, let Pan Yushi strictly investigate the people who have dealings with Dong Lixiong. Remember not to make a big deal of it. It is carried out in secret. As for the kidnapping of Sun Quan, don't mention it again!"

"promise!"
