Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Sun Quan's death from the arrow almost detonated the contradictions and chaos within Wu.After his body was transported back to Jianye, the crown prince Sun He worried about nights and dreams, so he followed Lu Yin's suggestion and ordered Chen Xiang, the governor of the fifth battalion, and Chen Zheng, the governor of Wunan, to lead the sergeants to bury the sword and axe secretly in the palace to prepare for the funeral. In the name, Yue Gongsun Ba was invited into the palace and took the opportunity to surround and kill him.

However, this matter was known by the princess Tiger in the palace, and her order ordered Sun Hong to inform Sun Ba, saying that the crown prince, Sun He, wanted to murder him, and now he should counter the crown prince.Otherwise, not only his life, but even the lives of himself and the officials around him would be killed by Sun He.

Sun Ba followed Sun Hong's advice, and on the grounds of being traumatized by the military turmoil, he avoided the mansion on the surface, but he had already fled outside the city in secret.Sun He didn't know the inside story, so he ordered people to surround Sun Ba's house.After preparing for Sun Quan's funeral, he will free up his hands to deal with Sun Ba.

A few days later, Sun Ba, who had fled outside the city, joined Quan Cong's troops and Bu Zhi troops who had come.Sun Ba obeyed Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong's opinion and did not have any grudges against the big man. In the name of Sun He's collusion with Yu Qin and Ma Mao to commit rebellion and kill the emperor's father Sun Quan, he attacked Jianye with the slogan of calming difficulties and eliminating rape.

Seeing Sun Ba's attack on Jianye, Sun He in the city summoned the tribes of the Eastern Wu gentry to defend the city, and hurriedly called Zhuge Ke from Jiangbei to lead his army to rescue Jianye and attack Quan Cong's troops.At this critical juncture, Princess Tiger once again played an important role, buying the city guards and soldiers to open the city gate for Sun Ba's troops outside the city.

Sun Ba's army invaded Jianye, and Sun He led the soldiers to defend the inner city and fight to the death.After holding on for several days, Zhuge Ke also crossed the river from Jiangbei, preparing to rescue Sun He.

The two armies of Quan Cong and Zhuge Ke fought a battle outside Jianye City, and both sides suffered losses.When the two armies confronted each other, another army led by Zhu Ran also joined the chaotic battle.

When Zhu Ran learned of Sun Quan's death, he burst into tears. Then he learned that the dispute between the two palaces had escalated into a war.

At this time, Sun Ba's army was in a precarious situation, facing the danger of destruction.If Sun He is not killed as soon as possible, or another way out is found, the army will be wiped out.

It was night, Sun Ba summoned all his cronies to discuss the current way out.

Sun Ba looked worried, and asked: "At present, Sun He is sticking to Jianye, and it is difficult for our army to break through the city. Zhuge Ke is confronting our army, and Zhu Ran's troops are also on the way. If our army does not conquer Jianye, other The names are all in the hands of Sun He, and it is critical now!"

Although Sun He is an unfavored prince, he is also a prince.After Sun Quan's death and without a queen, Sun He has become the nominal monarch of Wu.Moreover, when Sun Ba welcomed troops to attack Jianye, Sun He had already ascended the throne, proclaimed himself King of Wu, and issued an edict to reprimand Sun Ba and Quan Cong for conspiring to commit treason, and he deserved to die for a serious crime.

At present, Sun Ba has no name, and lacks the support of a large number of civil and military ministers, only the Prime Minister Bu Zhi who is stationed in Yingzhou, and the right Sima Quancong, and the general Lu Ju who is in the Wei Dynasty.As for civil servants, there are only Zhongshuling Sun Hong, Shizhong Yang Zhu and others to assist.

Under Sun He's command, there were general Zhuge Ke, Zuo Da Sima Zhu Ran, hussar general Zhu Ju, Shang Shupu She Qu Huang and other civil and military ministers supported him.

The ministers of the two sides seem to have similar positions, but in terms of middle-level power, Sun He has the name of the prince and has more appeal.

After a pause, Sun Ba looked at Zhuge Chuo and asked, "Would the general help Gu and wipe out Sun He?"

Zhuge Chuo shook his head, and said in a low tone: "My father has never seen me, so the only way to tell people is to tell me not to be abusive, and I should be punished as soon as possible."

After Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun died of illness, Zhuge Ke was promoted by Sun Quan to be a general. After Cao Shuang failed to attack Jing, he was sent to attack Hefei and was stationed in Wancheng, where he was stationed.Zhuge Chuo is the eldest son of Zhuge Ke, who served as the riding captain and made friends with Yue Gongsunba.

Sun Hong stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for Prime Minister Bu and Lu Dang Wei soldiers to arrive and see if you can defeat Sun He."

Sun Ba knew that he didn't know about soldiers, so he didn't dare to be sure, and asked, "Can Da Sima follow what Sun Zhongshu said?"

Quan Cong pondered for a while, and said: "Since Zhuge Ke's troops arrived, it would be difficult for us to break through the city. If Zhu Ran's troops arrive, we may not be able to wait until the prime minister's troops and horses, and we will be defeated by him. In my opinion, no I will retreat and plan for bigger things.”

Sun Ba frowned, and said: "Sun He has the title of heir, and Ba Zi should be rare. If he withdraws to the local prefecture, I'm afraid the governor will not follow him."

Quan Cong smiled and said: "With the soldiers in hand, the prefects of the counties and counties will not follow suit. Our army will go west and rush into Chaisang, or Yuzhang. At that time, Yingzhou will be the backup and Poyang Lake will be the hindrance. Contest with Sun He one or two. If you still don't retreat, how can the king talk about the great cause?"

Some time before Sun Quan's death, Quan Cong was stationed in Chaisang, Zhu Ran was stationed in Ruxukou, Zhuge Ke was stationed in Wancheng, Buzhi stationed troops in Wuchang, and Lu Ju stationed troops in Puqi.Among these stations, Chaisang, Puqi, and Wuchang are all west of Poyang Lake, and Ruxukou and Wancheng are all east of Poyang Lake.

That is to say, the generals who supported Sun Ba had their roots in the west; the generals who supported Sun He had their roots in the east.Its east and west are divided by Chaisang and Pengze in Poyang Lake.

Sun Ba pursed his lips and asked: "Our army is weak, if the Han soldiers enter Yingzhou, how will our army stop them? And the governor of Xiangzhou is Zhuge Qiao."

Yang Zhu thought for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, Sun He has Jiang Zuo as his foundation, and I secretly think that we should take the foundation first. Some people think that our army may need the help of a big man to do it."

"I would like to listen to what you have to say!" Sun Ba asked for advice.

"In the past, Sun He was the crown prince, and the king was only the Duke of Yue. However, the state of Wu is just a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. The Emperor of Han has an edict to enshrine the vassal king, and he can grant the king etiquette. I think the king can be the first to order someone to serve the Han, please The great Han canonized the king of Wu to obtain the orthodox position. What will Sun He be named then? But after being canonized, the king will have Han people as his support." Yang Zhu said.

"As for the Han people sending troops to Yingzhou, Zhu believes that the current situation is that the Han people are powerful and have the tendency to dominate the world. If they really want to attack my great Wu, we can't stop the mantis as a car, and it won't help. Even if it is unified, the king has the throne. If you can enjoy wealth and honor in peace, why worry about it? And if the king can send his troops to attack Jianye, unify Wu, and win Jianghuai in the north, the world will never know!"

Yang Zhu's meaning is very simple, no matter when the big man sends troops to Yingzhou or Wu State, Wu State will inevitably perish.But if Sun Ba has the throne, he will still be able to enjoy wealth.Therefore, it is better to establish a foundation first, and then see how the situation develops in the future, rather than hesitate at the moment.

And he took the lead in professing his ministers to the big man and seeking the canonization of the big man.After all, isn't the vassal of the Wu State conferred by Liu Chan?Because Sun He is a prince, he has the etiquette and law of inheriting Sun Quan from the king of Wu; if Sun Ba is canonized by a big man, he will also get a new claim, and it is against the rules to refute Sun He's succession.

Sun Ba thought for a while, and smiled wryly, that's really the case.The current situation is no longer under my control, why think so much.It is better to consider establishing a career first, and unify Wu as the first.

Sun Ba made a decisive decision and ordered: "Since this is the case, the whole army will march westward and meet Prime Minister Bu. Yang Zhu, you are the envoy, and go to Chang'an for Gu in order to be canonized."

"promise!"

Sun Ba took a deep breath, made a bow, and said: "If a certain person can establish a foundation, he will live up to your honor!"

"Don't dare! The ministers should die for the king!" Everyone responded.
