Shuhan

Chapter 414: We warriors, why should we be afraid of a battle?

The Han envoy Huo Yi left, and Sun Quan frowned, but it seemed that he had finished his anger yesterday. Although everyone knew that he was in a rage, his expression was still calm.

"The Han State is bullying our Wu State so much. It seems that there will definitely be a war between Wu and Han!"

Letting Wang Houbu and Sun Ba enter Chengdu as a hostage is already the biggest concession Sun Quan has ever made. But in the face of such a concession, you, the Han Kingdom, are particularly dissatisfied?

Then you really think that our country, Wu, is easy to bully.

Do you really think that I, Sun Quan, am easy to handle?

"Preparing the army for war, let alone a hundred thousand troops sent by Han, it could be a million troops. Gu Ye can be like the story of Red Cliff, making him never come back!"

Sun Deng opened his mouth, but no words came out.

His national policy strategy of recuperating and recuperating is certainly good for Wu State.

But

This recuperation is not something you can just recuperate if you want to.

There are two conditions for you to be able to recuperate.

One way, the enemy feels that you are no longer a threat, so you can take a precious breather and truly recuperate.

The other is that the enemy thinks you are difficult to deal with, or that to deal with you, he needs to pay a greater price, which is not cost-effective.

In this way, you can also rest and recuperate.

However, the current state of Wu happens to be in this awkward position of being neither up nor down.

powerful?

Not very strong at all.

Both Han and Wei thought Wu was a small Kalami.

But weak?

There is another fight.

Now Wu Guo wants to be tough but cannot be tough, and wants to be soft but cannot be soft.

The whole situation was awkward.

But fight.

Can you fight?

Sun Deng fell silent for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the Han Dynasty cannot agree to its request. The prince puts the overall situation first, and entering Chengdu as a pledge can be regarded as a contribution to our great Wu."

As soon as he heard that Sun Quan wanted to fight, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the palace. This man was Wei Teng, who was born in Kuaiji.

"Now our country, Wu, is weak and weak. We are no match for Han. If we are defeated, our country will not be protected. Even if we win, it will only be a miserable victory and the national power will be wasted. No matter what, it will be detrimental to our country of Wu. Although the prince is The Crown Prince, but I heard that his body is in ruins and his age is gone, if you can exchange the prince's sacrifice for the peace of my country, Wu, why not do it?"

Good guy!

The fight in the court began to become more obvious and naked.

Sun Deng immediately sneered and said: "I know my body well. I don't know where Wei Gong heard this fallacy. It is really ridiculous! Besides, the Han Dynasty's ambition is that I will enter Chengdu as a hostage. Is it possible? Will they give up on dealing with my country, Wu?"

After saying that, Sun Deng's cold gaze first glanced at Wei Teng, then looked around at the ministers in the palace, and said: "The situation is like this. We should give up our illusions and prepare to fight. If our country of Wu wants to stand on the top of the Nine Provinces, we must have a battle." Not available!"

If we don't fight a battle and don't help the national destiny of Wu State, then Wu State now occupies the land of Yangzhou, how can we talk about dignity?

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

This is the current situation of Wu State.

When Wei Teng saw Sun Deng's denial, he immediately said: "The Han Kingdom is arrogant because of its arrogant strength. Now that our Wu Kingdom has no strength, we will naturally be like Gou Jian, who is tired of living and eating. No matter how strong the prince is, we only need to let the doctors Isn’t the diagnosis clear?”

Seeing the change in Sun Deng's expression, Wei Teng said sarcastically: "Or are you saying that Your Highness doesn't dare? Are you feeling guilty?"

This is Wei Teng's method of provoking generals.

Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu State, got excited and wanted to step forward to say something. But before he could say anything, the cold and stern voice of Sun Quan who was sitting on the main seat came.

"When the Han envoy was roaring in the palace just now, he didn't hear your voice. Now that he's gone, he has begun to persecute his own people. With this aggressive attitude, it seems that I, the prince of Wu, have committed some crime. Want to punish me? If I need to prove myself because of a rumor, then I, the Crown Prince of Wu, will never have peace."

Sun Quan's words helped Sun Deng get out of trouble.

The latter had just woken up. If he wanted to prove his innocence in a fit of anger, wouldn't he have fallen into Wei Teng's trap?

Besides

He had a guilty conscience, and the rumors were not false, but true.

If the imperial physician is diagnosed as dying soon, then he will not only lose his power, but also be abandoned by Sun Quan. He is afraid that he will really become a pawn and be sent to Chengdu.

"I just want the prince to prove himself. If it is true, I am willing to bear the burden of apology." Wei Teng insisted on the side.

Sun Quan snorted coldly and said, "Instead of worrying about the prince's affairs, let's talk about how we should deal with it if Han comes to attack!"

Seeing that Sun Quan was devoted to protecting Sun Deng, Wei Teng also knew that his goal could not be achieved today, so he had no choice but to take a step back and return to his position.

"If the Han army comes to attack, it must be cut off at the Jiangxia line. The navy will block the river and use boats to transport infantry for the purpose of a quick battle.

Otherwise, when the Han army enters Yangzhou, life will be ruined and the country's power will decline.

In addition, fortresses need to be built along the river. If a quick battle fails, the Han army will have to be dragged away to buy time for Wu. "

Now a powerful figure in the military, Lu Xun, who replaced Lu Meng as the governor of Wu, continued: "When Han comes to attack, he must unite with Wei. If Wei can help, he will agree to his request and help him attack Zang Ba." , so what?"

Among the Three Kingdoms, once there is a war, no country will be able to survive alone.

As the weak side, Wu State, of course, had to choose to use its strength to fight.

The power of Wei must be borrowed.

"Wei's envoy Sima Yi is still in Jianye, so we can discuss it with him."

Finally, someone with a solution has arrived.

Sun Quan was almost crying.

Among this group of insects, there is finally one who is useful.

"In the Kingdom of Wu, there are countless Jianjunsi craftsmen. These Jianjunsi are all-pervasive. If we want to resist the Han attack, the first thing is to eradicate all the Jianjunsi craftsmen in Wu. In addition, our Wu Kingdom's food, grass, money and silk Not enough, if we want to support tens of thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and more civilians to fight, we must raise money, silk, food and grass."

Fighting is a waste of money.

This is true even when defending within the territory of Wu State.

If this war breaks out, many places will not be able to be cultivated in the coming spring, which will be another heavy blow to Wu's economy.

The eradication of military affairs and the raising of grain and grass may seem to be separate, but in fact they are combined.

After all, it is false to seize the military commander, but it is true to eliminate dissidents, send food and grass donations, and rectify the bad habits in the country.

When war breaks out, wartime control must be implemented.

Anyone or anything that hinders the war must be suppressed with iron-blooded means!

"In the first battle, we must fight well. We must let the Han country know how powerful our Wu country is!"

Xu Sheng held the wat tablet in his hand and said next: "The Han came to attack because they thought that Wu was easy to bully. If Wu shows its strength, the Han might not dare to attack."

Dignity is fought on the battlefield.

After being insulted so many times by Han envoys, Xu Sheng couldn't stand it anymore.

If there is a battle, he will fight!

Sun Quan has already spoken out, but no one in the palace dares to say that he will surrender.

Ever since, whether it was active or forced, the broken ship of Wu State began to move in the direction of war again.

The series of policies for recuperation and recuperation originally set by Sun Quan and Sun Deng were naturally no longer included.

night.

Starry.

The New Year is approaching, but there is no sense of Chinese New Year in Jianye.

Instead, the clouds of war began to gather in the sky of Wu.

In the prince's residence.

Meeting hall.

Sun Deng, who was pale and thin, sat on the main seat and looked at the officials in front of him.

Zhuge Ke, Gu Tan, Zhang Xiu.

Sun Deng's face was very stern, and the displeasure in his tone made it easy to see the anger in his mood.

"Where did the rumors come from?"

Only Zhuge Ke and Na Ge Tao should know the secret of his physical problem.

Others don't know.

But as his right-hand man, Zhuge Ke would definitely not be able to spread the news, and Ge Tao.

Already a corpse.

The dead cannot speak, so it is not him.

If it’s not Zhuge Ke or the dead man Ge Tao, who else could it be?

Could it be him?

Sun Deng glanced at Zhuge Ke as if unintentionally.

The latter was excited and said immediately: "Your Highness, this rumor may not come from the Prince's Palace, but from the Military Division!"

Jianjunsi?

Sun Deng was stunned for a moment and said, "How did Jian Junsi know about this rumor?"

Zhuge Ke said: "The poison on His Highness's sword when he was stabbed was used by the people of Jianjunsi. What effect does the poison have? Don't they know?"

seem

Makes sense.

"Jian Junsi may be possible, but deposing the Marquis of Jianchang will definitely add fuel to the flames. According to the news from my subordinates, recently Heda Wei Xi and others have been walking around the Marquis of Jianchang's mansion from time to time. Enter Jianye’s wine shop and spread the news.”

Zhang Xiu immediately stood up and spoke. The circle among celebrities and the children of aristocratic families is too small.

If there is any news, generally it cannot be kept secret.

He jumped from Sun Deng to Sun Lu and back again. Although Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu Kingdom, didn't say anything, he was still very enthusiastic about Zhang Xiu.

But Zhang Xiu knew in his heart that the grudge in the prince's heart already existed.

Not having an attack now is just for the sake of the family behind him.

What Zhang Xiu can do now is to regain Sun Deng's trust.

For this reason, Zhang Xiu was at the forefront among the officials of the Prince's Mansion in opposing Sun Li and harming him.

"This younger brother of mine is too ambitious."

His good brother was naturally involved.

Otherwise, Wei Teng would not have challenged him in the court.

just

Then why did Wei Teng dare to attack him in the court?

Are these Kuaiji nobles really following Sun Lu, the son of the deposed King of Wu?

Sun Deng felt incredible.

Wei Teng must have known some evidence, otherwise, he would not have been so bold as to directly oppose him in the court.

By doing this, Wei Teng was certain that he would not be able to become the King of Wu and would not be able to settle accounts with his wife.

"Cough cough."

Sun Deng coughed and his expression became even more ugly.

"How should I solve the current situation?"

Crack?

Gu Tan immediately stepped forward and said: "The current situation is not bad for Your Highness. The initiative is still in our hands. Since there are rumors spreading, Your Highness might as well prove his innocence and stop this long-winded mouth. .”

Prove your innocence?

Sun Deng immediately shook his head and said: "I have to prove my innocence this time, but what about next time? I don't have so much time to prove things that don't exist."

Do I prove my innocence?

If the secret is revealed, then he will really lose everything.

"Then I will send a letter to the king to take Sun Lu back to the palace. His recent behavior has exceeded the rules. The king's order of grounding is in vain."

If Sun Lu was in King Wu's palace, he would naturally be unable to contact his minions.

No matter it is Wei Teng or He Qi.

The trouble will be solved.

"As my elder brother, I cannot submit the letter myself, so I will leave this matter to you."

Gu Tan and Zhang Xiu immediately took the order.

"That's all, I'm tired."

Gu Tan, Zhang Xiu and others took the order and left. Zhuge Ke also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Sun Deng.

"Captain Zuo Fu stays."

Gu Tan, Zhang Xiu and others looked at Zhuge Ke with expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred.

There is no doubt that this private interview was a sign of the Crown Prince Nobushige.

In other words, Prince Sun Deng does not trust them now.

Everyone left, and only Zhuge Ke and Sun Deng were left in the meeting hall.

"Have you told anyone about my body?"

Zhuge Ke immediately swore to heaven and said: "Heaven knows this, your highness knows it, I know it, and no third living person knows about it."

Ge Tao was killed, and Sun Deng saw the body in person.

Zhuge Ke is a prudent man and will not be a loudspeaker when necessary and will speak out things at will.

perhaps

It was really Jian Junsi and his good brother Sun Liu.

"Jian Junsi may have evidence, and I heard that the Han Dynasty envoy Huo Yi went to visit Sun Lu yesterday. Maybe this evidence is already in the hands of Fei Jianchanghou. We need to see what the evidence is and find a way to deal with it. "

Sun Deng had previously thought about entering Chengdu as a hostage and sacrificing himself for Wu.

But seeing this good brother like this, he immediately gave up the idea.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Moreover, his body was not without the possibility of healing.

"I lead the troops."

Zhuge Ke led the assassination camp and collected some information. It was not a difficult task for him.

"In addition, send people to the country to find famous doctors, and go to Han to 'invite' Hua Tuo. As long as they are famous doctors in the world, it is best to invite them."

"promise!"

This Ge Tao was originally the most famous doctor in Wu State.

Unfortunately, the prince was jealous and killed him.

As for finding another famous doctor?

Famous doctors are not so easy to find.

"According to Ge Tao's prescription, Your Highness only needs to take it for one year, and you will be able to maintain your current foundation. As for replenishing the vitality lost with the strong medicine, you can only find other methods."

Now the strong medicinal properties are still there.

Sun Deng uses his body every day to consume the medicinal properties of strong medicine.

This is also the reason why he has been warming up during this period but cannot make up for it.

Make up for it.

But it consumes more.

What is lost is worse than what is gained.

"Let's think about how to deal with the Han army first! It's really hard to be the prince of a weak country!"

The next day.

early morning.

King Wu received Sima Yi, the envoy of Wei State, in the pavilion in the back garden of King Wu's palace.

It's the end of the year, and it's snowing in Jianye.

The goose-feather heavy snow has already dyed the sky and the earth white.

"The foreign envoy pays homage to the King of Wu."

"sit down."

Sun Quan and Sima Yi sat opposite each other.

To be honest, in the pavilion in winter, even if there is a burning brazier between the two of them, the feeling is still not good.

it's too cold.

The feeling of the winter wind blowing on my face like a knife is really uncomfortable.

"I wonder if King Wu has summoned the foreign envoys to discuss anything?"

Sima Yi's eyes burned brightly.

He already knew the details of the changes in Wu Palace yesterday.

Wei State also has its own intelligence organization.

Although the efficiency of the Wei State's School Office was not as good as that of the Han State's Military Affairs Bureau, it had money and silk to clear the way, and the speed of getting news was not slow.

"I don't want to talk nonsense to you anymore. I invite you here this time to fight with the Wei State against the Han State. The Han State is going to raise a large army against our Wu State. You, the Wei State, won't just stand by and watch? After all, this is the reason why you, Wei, can't help you." The country doesn’t understand.”

Ha ha.

What an opportunity!

Sure enough, it came.

Sima Yi's expression was very relaxed and he said: "We, Wei, can help the State of Wu and even send troops, but what are you, the State of Wu, willing to pay?"
