Chapter 402 The signing of the peace treaty, the new state of Wei!

Wu State.

Jianye.

Han embassy.

Huo Yi looked calm as he listened to the reports from the deputy envoys.

"I just went out to inquire about the news. Something big happened in the Kingdom of Wu."

Something big happened?

Huo Yi was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "What's the matter?"

"Sun Deng, the Crown Prince of Wu Kingdom, has woken up!"

Prince Wu is awake?

He immediately said: "This news should be sent to Langzhong as quickly as possible."

But after thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head again.

"With the speed of Military Secretary Jian, I'm afraid this news is already on the way."

As an envoy, Huo Yi could not get much help from military secret agents.

The reason is simple. As an envoy from the Han Kingdom, he has countless eyes from the Wu Kingdom staring at him.

At this time, let Jian Junsi come over. Isn't this turning on the high beam in the dark night?

It is actually not easy to cultivate and win over senior secret agents of the Jianjun Division, and they cannot be simply dismissed.

"But we still have to make a show of it, and send capable people to send this news to Jiangxia."

"promise"

The deputy envoy immediately took the order.

When the news was sent to Jiangxia, Yu Jin would naturally send people to Langzhong and Chengdu.

The number of people in the team he sent as envoy was relatively insufficient.

One less person means less strength.

"Wu Kingdom Crown Prince Sun Deng wakes up, what impact will it have?"

Huo Yi became thoughtful.

When he entered Wu, he already had a clear understanding of the situation in Wu.

Because of the absence of the crown prince of Wu State, the situation in Wu State has been in turmoil in the past six months. Sun Quan's second son, Sun Li, rose up because of this and was named Jianchanghou, becoming a popular candidate for the crown prince of Wu State.

Due to the rise of Sun Li, the originally turbulent situation in the Wu Kingdom became stable again.

Now that Sun Deng is awake, the Wu Kingdom Court seems to be in turmoil again.

A battle for the right to inherit the throne?

Huo Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"No way, we can take advantage of this conflict between the two sons of the Sun family to make profits in the Kingdom of Wu!"

Some of the ten conditions he proposed were too harsh, and Wu may not be able to agree to them.

But if we take the acquisition of direct descendants as the starting point, things that were difficult to do before might be possible now.

"Angel, I'm afraid that this matter is already difficult to accomplish. The Marquis of Jianchang, Sun Liu, has been deprived of his title and is now imprisoned in the Marquis' Mansion. He is not allowed to enter or leave the Marquis' Mansion at will without the order of Sun Quan, King of Wu."

"what?"

Even Huo Yi had a look of surprise on his face.

"This King Wu is really fast!"

Huo Yi thought about it and understood what he meant.

"This is to save Sun Liu's life. It seems that Sun Liu will be reused in the future Wu court."

Huo Yi played with the glass finger in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

"It's better to provide icing on the cake than to provide help in the snow. Now is the time when Sun Lu has lost power. Maybe we can get in touch with him and leave a seed in his heart."

As for leaving a seed in Sun Lu's heart.

Of course it will be of great use in the future.

Huo Yi is naturally aware of His Highness's ambitions.

The Kingdom of Wu will definitely be attacked and destroyed by His Highness.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

In the process of conquering the Kingdom of Wu, perhaps this Sun Liu could help the great man.

"My subordinates will make arrangements now."

"Prince Sun Deng of the Kingdom of Wu has regained consciousness. I wonder if Sun Quan will agree to his conditions."

With the development of Han Dynasty.

Specifically, it was the development of Han's handicraft industry, and many goods were hoarded.

These goods cannot be circulated and piled up in warehouses, which only causes waste.

And exporting these goods to the market in Jingzhou or Yizhou will affect the prices in both places.

The state of Wei has a large army, and after Cao Pi implemented the Nine-Rank Officials Law, his control over the affairs of the court has risen to a new level.

In the border counties and counties, many Wei officials related to the merchant alliance were dealt with.

As a result, Wei's trade routes were gradually cut off.

Had to hide in the dark.

Nowadays, it is very crucial for Wu State to become a place for our Han Dynasty to sell goods.

Two days later.

Sun Quan, King of Wu, summoned Huo Yi again.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty of Wu State have not changed much from the first time they came, but to say that they have not changed at all is not true.

Under Sun Quan, on the second level of the three steps, there was a young man kneeling on a tiger-skin cushion.

Huo Yi looked at the young man carefully.

This young man is about the same age as His Highness, but his face is pale and his appearance is haggard, which is far from His Highness's plump and graceful appearance.

This person must be Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu State.

It seems that Sun Quan still attaches great importance to him. After he woke up, he returned all the powers that were originally intended to be removed from him to him.

"The foreign envoy pays homage to the King of Wu and pays homage to the Crown Prince of Wu!"

Sun Quan's face was gloomy and he just snorted coldly. He didn't have a good look towards Huo Yi.

Sun Deng, on the other hand, returned the salute to Huo Yi and said, "The envoy is from Jingxiang. Among the officials in my mansion, there are also many people from Jingxiang. Perhaps the envoy can get closer to them."

There are indeed many people from Jingzhou in Wu State.

After all, for a long period of time, the State of Wu occupied several counties in Jingzhou.

They almost succeeded in a sneak attack on Jiangling and captured Nanjun!

Although Jingzhou was now lost to Sun Quan, there were still many officials in Jiangdong who were from Jingzhou.

It can also be seen from here that there are also factions in the political arena of Wu State.

In general, they are divided into three factions.

The first faction is the Wujun gentry.

The gentry in Wu County were represented by Gu (Gu Yong), Lu (Lu Xun), Zhu (Zhu Huan, Zhu Ju), Zhang (Zhang Wen), and Quan (Quan Cong).

In history, they will be prominent in the Wu Kingdom for a period of time, and they will not be eliminated from the Wu Kingdom's court until they are deeply involved in the dispute between the two palaces.

The second faction is the Kuaiji gentry.

The Kuaiji gentry is represented by the Kong, He (He Qi), Yu (Yu Fan), Wei (Wei Teng), Sheng (Sheng Xian), and Zhou (Zhou Xin) families.

The Sheng and Tuesday families in Kuaiji were suppressed because of the "high-intensity" resistance activities carried out by the Sun family when they entered Jiangdong. Although the Kong family was unknown in the Soochow regime, they became powerful in the southeast during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At the end of the Jin Dynasty and Liu He became acquainted with Yu and became a prominent figure among the nobles in Wudi in the Southern Dynasties.

This second faction was not as powerful as the Wujun nobles and was not used as much by Sun Quan, but it was still a considerable force in the court.

The third faction is the Jingzhou gentry and the overseas Chinese from Jiangbei.

The overseas Chinese in Jiangbei were named Zhang (Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong), Zhou (Zhou Yu), Zhuge (Zhuge Jin), Bu (Bu Zhi), Yan (Jin Yan), Hu (Hu Cong), Xue (Xue Zong), Kan (Kan) Ze) and Wu (Wu Can) are the representatives.

This faction is quite powerful, and Sun Quan can be regarded as one of the most important.

After going through the situation of all the forces in the Kingdom of Wu in his mind, Huo Yi immediately saluted Sun Quan and said, "Your Majesty, the three days have come. I wonder if the King of Wu has made a decision?"

Sun Quan nodded immediately and said, "This is our revised condition. Please give the envoy a look."

Did you really agree?

Huo Yi was also preparing to reenact the scene in the hall where Prime Minister Zhuge was quarreling with the Confucian scholars, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan would not give him the opportunity to show off.

After receiving the document handed over by the internal officer, Huo Yi held it in front of him and studied it carefully.

"This"

Huo Yi opened his mouth wide, with a look of shock and confusion on his face.

It’s not that the conditions are harsh. On the contrary, the conditions are not harsh, but are very relaxed. When did Sun Zhongmou become so easy to talk to and so generous?

With the temperament of these Jiangdong rats, there must be fraud among them!

Huo Yizai looked at it carefully several times for half a quarter of an hour, but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Could it be that.

Even Huo Yi himself was hesitant.

Is there no problem at all here?

but.

How can this be?

I must have not noticed it.

So Huo Yi read it again.

But when Huo Yizi carefully checked the conditions modified by Wu State, Sun Quan was impatient to wait.

Good guy!

I'm taking a few steps back now, but you don't believe me anymore?

With this look of disbelief on his face, do you think that I, Sun Zhongmou, am cheating?

Although at the beginning, he wanted to cheat, but now, he has no such idea at all.

I, Sun Quan, am a gentleman!

"Hasn't the Han envoy seen enough?"

Hearing that Sun Quan's tone had become unhappy, Huo Yi had no choice but to put away the book in his hand.

"As the saying goes, once a word is made, it cannot be followed. Once King Wu agreed to these conditions, he could not go back on his words."

Sun Quan's head was full of black lines, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"There is absolutely no assassination of the noble prince in our country of Wu. It has not happened before, not now, and even more so in the future. Now these conditions have been modified a bit, and the Han envoys can also see that our country of Wu and the Han Dynasty want to reconcile. The alliance between Han and Wu is now a good thing for both countries, and I, the State of Wu, are willing to take a step back first."

How come the word "alliance" comes out of Sun Quan's mouth in such a disgusting way?

But the benefits have been obtained now, and Huo Yi has no intention of offending Sun Quan. His mission has been completed and exceeded.

According to the goals Liu Chan gave him, the conditions given by Wu Guo can still be negotiated.

But since your state of Wu is like this, don't blame me, the great Han, for exporting a large amount of cheap goods to you.

"In this case, we, the Han Dynasty, can sign a treaty with the State of Wu. If the State of Wu violates the treaty, we, the Han State, will definitely send troops to attack!"

You have to say the ugly things first.

"If the treaty has been concluded, and the Han State still stirs up some conspiracy in the hinterland of the Wu State, if we assassinate the Wu State Crown Prince, incite the people of Shanyue, and split Jiaozhou, then we, the Wu State, will fight to the death with the Han State. As long as I live, I must let you know the blood and blood of my son Jiang Dong."

Where do the rats from Jiangdong come from?

Huo Yi complained secretly, but also nodded.

If the state of Wu is obedient, then this big man can prepare for the Northern Expedition while sucking the blood of the state of Wu.

Expedition to the north of Yongliang and capturing the precious horse breeding land is undoubtedly the most important thing for the Han Dynasty and what must be done.

Moreover, only by opening up the Western Region can the power of the Merchant Alliance become stronger.

Even if he knew that the Wu State was not truly submissive, as long as he did not engage in any tricks within a few years, that would be enough for the big man.
-

I am the dividing line——

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away in Luoyang.

In Wei State, it was another state.

Two years ago, the chaotic scene where Cao Zhang led his army to besiege Luoyang has long since disappeared.

The people have long forgotten this period of history.

Up and down Luoyang, there is harmony and joy.

The people are in harmony and the nobles are in harmony.

Even Cao Pi, who was in the palace, was in a much better mood.

"These grapes are really good. Those countries in the Western Regions should donate more."

Drinking honey water and eating grapes, Cao Pi rested his head in the beauty's arms, watching the actors and actresses dancing and dancing below, feeling relaxed and happy.

After firmly sitting on the throne of Wei and thoroughly handling some of the ministers in the court, Cao Pi was finally able to relax a little.

When he first ascended the throne, little of what he heard was good news.

Either it cannot be defeated, or it has been captured somewhere, or another rebellion has broken out somewhere.

Even if he led troops to go on an expedition, he did not achieve any results.

All kinds of things at that time made him very anxious.

Fortunately, the situation has stabilized now.

Cao Cao's policies at that time continued, the farming was successful, and the granaries were gradually filled.

Recruit soldiers, train naval forces, and prepare armor.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Perhaps feeling the power of the Wei State, Zang Ba, who had always been disobedient to the Wei State and uttered arrogant words, actually submitted a petition to surrender and was willing to allow Wei officials to enter Xuzhou

However, he did not agree to Zang Ba's request to surrender.

Is that a request to surrender?

That's not to ask for orders to become a warlord.

The turmoil in Qingxu Land was left to him by his father, Cao Cao. Now Cao Pi definitely does not want to leave this problem to his son.

"What is the prince doing during this time?"

After Cao Rui, the crown prince of Wei, passed to Queen Guo, he was firmly entrenched in his position as crown prince.

"When I was studying at the Prince's Mansion, I occasionally went out to hunt in the city and fields during normal times. I would go to the palace every day to say hello to the Queen."

Cao Pi nodded.

"This is like a prince of a country, and the queen taught him well."

He didn't have much feelings for Cao Rui.

Every time he saw this son, he would think of another woman.

What this woman gave him was not a good impression, but a feeling of humiliation.

The secret agents of the School Office in the Han Dynasty found out that this bitch was already pregnant with the bloodline heir of Liu Gongsi.

He is such a bitch, so naturally he will never give her a good look.

He hated the house and the bird, and naturally he didn't have a good look towards Cao Rui.

Usually out of sight, out of mind.

In the middle of winter, not only the common people rest, but also the officials usually stay at home unless they are going to court.

When spring comes and the temperature rises, it's time to use troops.

That's right.

Cao Pi was ready to use troops.

Instead of using troops against Runan, we are preparing to use troops against Xuzhou.

Using troops against Runan is actually going to war with Han.

Cao Pi was not absolutely sure, but eliminating Zang Ba first and completely taking control of the territory left to him by Cao Cao was what he had to do.

After Xuzhou is included in the territory and managed smoothly for a period of time, Wei's national power will definitely rise to a higher level.

"I wonder if the Wu State is willing to form an alliance with me, the Great Wei State, to jointly attack Zang Ba."

In Cao Pi's mind, there is still a chance, and the chance is not small.

After all, Wu State and Zang Ba are now fighting over Guangling.

That Liu Gongsi was really a troublemaker. Even after he left Runan, his influence was still there.

"Humph!"

Thinking of Liu Chan, the grapes in Cao Pi's mouth were no longer sweet, and the honey water was no longer tasty.

"Your Majesty, the State of Wu has been coveting Guangling County for a long time. If you use Guangling County to seduce it, it might be possible."

Wu Zhi was dressed in noble clothes and sitting on the main seat on the left side of the hall.

He has already received a heavy reward from Cao Pi.

He was promoted to general Zhenwei, governor of all military affairs in Hebei during the holidays, and granted the title of lord.

Soon, he will guard Yecheng and become a feudal official.

Now his mood is naturally extremely good.

However, Sima Yi, who originally competed with him for favor, was not reused. Instead, he was sent to Badi to investigate the situation in Badi.

I heard that the situation in Badi was very serious, so it was not impossible that Sima Zhongda lost his life in Badi.

If it can come true, it will be a double blessing.
