Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 721 Three Articles of Han Affairs
Baqiu, Wu Jun camp.

In the tent, Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin were sitting opposite each other. Except for the crown prince Sun Deng, there was no one else staying in the tent.

"Your Majesty, the above are the requests made by the Han people."

Zhuge Jin presented the scarf and silk, and reported the requests made by the big man one by one.

Sun Quan looked at the request on the scarf, his hands trembled a few times, and said, "Why is Liao Li's request so excessive? Where's Liu Chan?"

Zhuge Jin lowered his eyes and said, "The Lord of Han is not in the Han camp. He drove to inspect Jingnan Township and counties to appease the local people."

Sun Quan threw the scarf on the ground and scolded: "Liao Li is a thief, Liu Chan's son. I regret not killing Liao Li in the past. If Liao Li's words did not come from Liu Chan's son, I would never believe it. Liu Chan's son It is my great Wu's confidant's trouble, and its harm is far worse than that of Liu Bei."

Sun Deng picked up the scarf, swept the dust on it, and said: "I once heard that in front of Liu Beizi Palace, he beheaded Gong'e with a sword, and the Lord of the Han Dynasty actually entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and appointed him as a servant. This is not a kindness and filial piety." Lift too!"

Zhuge Jin smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness, this is the way to use people. The Lord of the Han Dynasty observes his talents and uses them. Those with high moral character should be entrusted with important tasks; those with weak morals should be used carefully. Liao Li This person is a great talent in Jingchu, with extraordinary insights, Prime Minister Zhuge also praised him, but he is narrow-minded and yearns for wealth and honor."

"The Lord of the Han Dynasty appointed him as a servant, one for the purpose of reuse, and the other for the purpose of supervision. As for whether he is benevolent and filial, Jin secretly thinks that the king's affairs are all state affairs. Although Liao Li killed Gong'e, he should have the intention of being rude and treasonous." , but the Han Lord chooses the lesser of the two evils and entrusts them with important use, it is not impossible!"

Sun Deng nodded slightly, and said: "Just like Gaozu used Chen Ping, although Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law and received money, he has great talents and can still be used to great effect." "

"exactly!"

Sun Quan was dissatisfied when he heard the two singing and praising Liu Chan. He snorted softly and said, "Nowadays, the Han people have three rules, and my Great Wu can't easily agree to them. If they agree with the Han people's wishes, how can the court situation in our Great Wu be peaceful?"

It has to be said that each of the three requirements put forward by the big man is extremely vicious.

The first is to cede Jiangbei Jiangxia County and Shuhan.Once a war breaks out between the two countries, soldiers from Xiangyang can be drawn down the Han River to cut off the connection between Soochow and Jingzhou.Moreover, Jiang Xia's soldiers were moving down the Yangtze River like a broken bamboo. Even if Chaisang was blocking them, they would not be able to stop them for long.

In the direction of Jingzhou, the two counties of Changsha and Xiangdong are nothing more than fat meat on the lips of a big man, which is easy to eat.

The second article punishes Lu Xun and executes him.If once Sun Quan did it, how could the scholars in Soochow be willing to serve Soochow wholeheartedly and not go west to the Shu Han, then hell.

Not only that, but Lu Xun has a profound background. His younger brother Lu Mao once selected Cao Shangshu, Lu Kai was the captain of Jianwu, and Lu Kai's younger brother Lu Yin now selected Cao Lang as the minister.His younger sister married Gu Shao and had two sons, Gu Tan and Gu Cheng.

Gu Shao is the son of Prime Minister Gu Yong, and Gu Yong's wife is also from the Lu clan.Although he died early, Gu Tan was one of the four friends of the prince, who succeeded Lu Mao as Cao Shangshu; Gu Cheng followed Zhuge Ke to pacify Shanyue and served as Zhaoyi Zhonglang General.

That is to say, if Sun Quan kills Lu Xun to flatter the Shu Han, the Gu family and the Lu family will basically turn against Sun Quan, and it is very likely that they will lead their trilogy to join Cao Wei and Shu Han.

The third is to let Sun Quan drive horses for Liu Chan when he inspects the Han and Wu armies.This matter is even more embarrassing, Sun Quan has done it, he has no face to dare to rule Jiangdong, and the scholars will not be so desperate for Sun Wu, but will boast that Liu Chan was appointed by heaven and sanxing the Han Dynasty.

It will be more serious than the public opinion situation in the late Shu Han period, and most Wu people will think that Wu will destroy Han and prosper.

Therefore, looking at the combination of these three items, the first item restrains Soochow from military means, the second item causes chaos in Wu State from internal affairs, and the third item disintegrates the legitimacy of Sun's rule of Jiangdong.

However, how can Soochow refuse?

Zhuge Jin put on a bitter face, and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, please think again! The three things may not be done, but you can discuss with the Han people one or two times, and you must not anger the Han people. If Liu Chan gets angry and makes him attack me, two If the country fights again, I am afraid that our great Wu will be in danger of destroying the country."

Zhuge Jin himself was not a strong person, being coaxed and scolded by Liao Lilian, and knowing the big man's marching strategy, he was also afraid of the big man.

Not only Zhuge Jin, but the entire Wu army is already in panic.The Yangtze River defense line they are proud of is gone. Deng Ai, Ma Zhong, and Wang Ping all killed the gods and crossed the Yangtze River. How can they not be frightened.Moreover, the morale of the Wu soldiers is low, and they fear the enemy like a mouse, so how can they fight!
Sun Quan touched his neck, suddenly he was reluctant to part with his own wealth, and Pan Meiren, who had just entered the palace and was as beautiful as a fairy.

If he was defeated and died, not only would the beauty be gone, but he would also die tragically.In this chaotic world, wouldn't it be good to die peacefully?The emperor has also been, and the wish has been fulfilled, but it is better to accept it all.

tired!

I fought against Cao Cao and Liu Bei first, and then I fought against Cao Pi, Cao Rui, and Liu Chan. I have fought for a lifetime, and I am too old with silver hair, so why not enjoy it for a few years!
Even if the great Han ruled the world, by virtue of his status as the King of Wu, he would still be able to enjoy wealth and honor, and his descendants would continue to pass it on, so why bother to fight for a moment!

The older Sun Quan was, the more conservative he became, and the less he dared to fight.Why don't you dare to fight? You can see from the World War II in Xiangyang and Anfeng. He was beaten all over his head by the Han and Wei Dynasties. Now his heart is really broken.

Many things came to Sun Quan's mind, he pondered and said, "What Ziyu said makes sense, what's your opinion?"

Zhuge Jin didn't dare to persuade him casually, so he had to say a few vague words, saying: "There is nothing wrong with ceding Jiangxia, just stick to Wuchang and Chaisang. As for the latter two matters, I cannot solve them!"

After a pause, Zhuge Jin added: "The Han Dynasty wants to punish Lu Xun for nothing!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan took a picture of the case and said angrily: "There is no unreasonable crime, the Han people are too much!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhuge Jin shut up instead, stood in the lower position, and listened to Sun Quan's vent.

Seeing Zhuge Jin like this, Sun Quan also sighed, and said, "Does Liu Chan want to destroy Wu, or does he just want to kill Lu Xun?"

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "I don't know! But I think the Lord of Han should not be too aggressive."

"It won't force you too much!" Sun Quan grabbed his beard, muttered a few times, and asked in a low voice, "What if Boyan accidentally drank too much when he was on a boat?"

"Maybe~" Zhuge Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes, finding it difficult to respond, and said vaguely: "We need to take time to see it, after all, Bo Yan rarely drinks alcohol."

Sun Quan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Since this is the case, let Yuan Xun (Zhuge Ke) take care of Boyan so that there will be no surprises."

Zhuge Jin tightened her hands, sure enough!Sun Quan was unwilling to let the Zhuge family break free from this incident.

He is well aware of his son's nature and has an abnormal desire for status and fame. If Zhuge Ke is allowed to intervene in this matter, it will basically become Sun Quan's knife against Lu Xun.

"How is Tzuyu?"

Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin kindly, and said: "Yuan Xun is a great talent, and he will serve as a minister of the auxiliary country in the future. At that time, Han will have Zhuge's prime minister, and Wu will also have Zhuge's as his prime minister. This is a happy event for Zhuge's family!"

Although Zhuge Jin was unwilling in every possible way, he could only hand in his hands and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for loving the dog, the old minister will do his best!"

Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, and said: "As for driving for the Han Lord, he said that I am old and it is difficult to stay in bed. I also hope that the Han Lord will take pity on me because I am old and spare the hard work of the horses and horses. During the explanation, Lao Ziyu will go again to the Han Dynasty. The Lord affirms what happened."

After a pause, Sun Quan still wanted to save Lu Xun. He said, "From now on, Wu Guo would like to be a subject of the great Han Dynasty. But Bo Yan is really a good general. I will let him be a general to help Han in the Northern Expedition. I wonder if it is possible?"

Sun Quan only wanted to complete the first agreement. Can we talk about the second one? As for driving for Liu Chan, he really didn't want to do it, it was too embarrassing.

If you do it yourself, you will lose your face, how can you rule Wu Zai?

"Promise!" Zhuge Jin reluctantly accepted the task.
