Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 280 Sun Zhongmou can bend and stretch

Zhang Wen was not surprised when he learned that King Wu sent people to invite him with generous gifts.

After all, he is not Lao Liu's spy. The reason why he transformed into Shu Chui and advocated joining Liu to fight against Cao was entirely from his heart.

Zhang Wen really felt that repairing the relationship with Liu Bei and re-establishing an anti-Cao alliance was the only way out for Soochow.

It seemed to him that King Wu could figure this out, but it was normal for him to do so. Instead, he was so angry that he killed his official before, which really made him incomprehensible and even a little frustrated.

In fact, for him, who was born in one of the four major families, even if Soochow was finally annexed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, it would not have much impact on him.

He is not an important figure, and he has a background in the Zhang family. When the time comes, he should be an official, but he will just change the monarch.

But Zhang Wen, who is not a direct descendant of the family, does not want to live in such a muddle-headed life. He wants to get ahead and achieve great things!

Zhang Wen solemnly changed his clothes and set out with the envoy to meet the King of Wu.

When he saw Sun Quan again, the strange-looking lord was already smiling brighter than in the spring of March.

"Hahaha, Huisu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you lately?" Sun Quan didn't wait for Zhang Wen to salute, and took the initiative to greet Zhang Wen warmly.

Zhang Wen appeared very humble and did not put on airs just because Sun Quan now wanted something from him.

Seeing this, he was horrified and said: "Zhang Wen, the sinner, pays homage to the King of Wu."

After saying this, he had to bend down to salute.

Sun Quan quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, Huishu is like this, isn't he trying to shame me?"

When he said this, he looked a little ashamed and seemed extremely sincere. He also looked up and down at Zhang Wen, seeming to be very concerned about his recent living conditions.

"Alas, what Huishu said before was very kind. It's just that Gu and Liu Bei and his son had a lot of grievances. He was so angry that he didn't accept any kind words..."

Sun Quan let out a long sigh, grabbed Zhang Wen's forearm with a little force, and looked at Zhang Wen sincerely: "Huishu, you have been wronged these days. You don't blame me, do you?"

The acting skills of King Wu of Wei Dynasty could be called textbook sincerity and not artificial. Zhang Wen was greatly moved, and he immediately bowed down again: "The king's words are serious, how can Wen dare to complain?"

Sun Quan nodded happily: "That's good. Now Cao Pi is forcing me to send his eldest son to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a hostage. I don't think I have so many talented people in Jiangdong, how can I suffer such a great humiliation?"

"It's just that Cao Pi is powerful. If he really attacks, it will be troublesome. I want to send your ministers to Xichuan again to persuade Liu Bei to re-form the alliance between Sun and Liu. What do you think of Huishu?"

Zhang Wen immediately bowed his head to the ground and said: "Even if your heart and mind are ruined, Wen still has to do your best to serve the king!"

"Okay, okay." Sun Quan helped Zhang Wen up and said with emotion, "If there are as many civil and military officials as mercy and forgiveness, why worry about Soochow not being prosperous!"

"This is all Wen's responsibility, but..." At this point, Zhang Wen suddenly looked troubled.

Sun Quan was not surprised by this: "Huishu is relieved, and I immediately ordered you to be appointed as the Assistant Lieutenant General and the Prince's Tutor. All the gifts Liu Bei gave you will be returned together with a reward of a hundred catties. When the matter is completed, another one will be given." There is a reward.”

Zhang Wen bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, the difficulties Wen is worried about are not the rewards of official position."

"Oh?" Sun Quan was obviously stunned, "I wonder what other difficulties there are?"

"Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, valued his prince Zen very highly. Whenever there was a major national issue, he would summon the prince to discuss it with him. Moreover, his ministers looked over his subordinates and respected the prince very much."

Sun Quan nodded. Although he felt itching with hatred when he thought of the boy who was rude to him, he had to admit that Liu Bei did have a good son.

"However, I have observed before that the crown prince of Hanzhong seems to be very worried about the rebellion in Nanzhong. I am afraid that if I don't give him an explanation, my trip may be in vain."

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows and resisted the urge to curse.

Young people are not mature at all!In the face of a powerful enemy, if you still cling to such trivial matters, aren't you afraid that you will be alone and angry and join Cao Pi in attacking Shu? !

I just remembered how Liu Chan looked when we last met. He was really capable of doing such a thing...

The situation is stronger than the people. Regardless of whether Liu Chan is afraid or not, it is impossible for him to join Cao Cao in conquering Shu.What Cao Pi wanted was not formal surrender and dependence at all. He simply wanted Jiangdong to become Cao Wei's back garden.

He wants to turn himself into a vassal king that he can manipulate at will, and maybe even in a few years, he will suffer all kinds of suppression like other vassal kings under him.

Those are his brothers and relatives, but he, the King of Wei and Wu, has nothing to do with him. I am afraid that he will be the worst one, not as good as other vassal kings.

By then, the inheritance that his brother had entrusted to him during his lifetime would be completely destroyed.

Sun Quan's eyes reappeared in front of his brother's face full of expectation when he saw him for the last time, and his words: "Elevate talents and appoint them, and everyone will do their best to protect Jiangdong. I am not as good as you."

He, Sun Quan, could bend and stretch. He could adjust his mentality after Hefei was defeated, and he could still slowly return to normal after Jingzhou was defeated again.

The only thing he couldn't accept was losing his foundation.

If he couldn't even do this, how would he look to see his father and brother in the future?

After walking a few steps with his hands behind his back, Sun Quan finally stood still.

"I have already considered this matter, so I will go and pack my bags and prepare to leave as soon as possible to go to Chengdu." King Wu of the Wei Dynasty said decisively, and the figure with his hands behind his back looked very firm and reliable at this time, "This matter in Nanzhong, your Majesty is here After Chengdu, I will make my own arrangements."

Zhang Wen said nothing more and bowed to leave.

Sun Quan is actually a very vengeful person. Although he can bend and stretch when necessary, he cannot be said to be very big.

But he was very satisfied with Zhang Wen's humble attitude this time, and most of his previous dissatisfaction with him had been eliminated.

I originally wanted to find an excuse to give Zhang Wen an official position with little real power after he promoted the alliance between Wu and Shu, but now it seems that this person is still useful.

"Here, call Gu Yuantan to come see Gu."

"Yes!"

Soon, Gu Yong came as ordered.

"Yuan Tan, Gu Jin often heard that Shi Hui, the son of Shi Xie in Jiaozhou, was very ambitious in his words and deeds. He seemed to have secretly instigated Yong Kai's rebellion in Nanzhong. Gu Yu sent people to investigate this matter. Who can take on this important task?"

Gu Yong was shocked when he heard this, but quickly regained his composure.

Shi Hui did make some inappropriate remarks, but Sun Quan had never cared about rumors like this before.

His father, Shi Xie, had been very loyal since his return. He even took the initiative to send his other son, Shi Yan, as a hostage. He sent envoys to visit him every year. He loaded trucks with treasures and specialties from Jiaozhou, and even all kinds of spices were hauled eastward...

But now the top priority is to unite Liu and fight against Cao. It seems necessary to give an explanation to Liu Bei and others about the affairs of Nanzhong.

Bu Zhao is the pillar of the country, and now he has been recalled to the front line to prepare for the possible war.

Shi Xie was loyal and loyal after surrendering and could not be abandoned. It seemed that King Wu was planning to let Shi Xie's son come out to block the sword.

Gu Yong, who quickly figured out the ins and outs, had no objection to this. Compared with the survival of Soochow, in his opinion, this was a completely bearable price...it depends on whether Shi Xie is "wise" enough.

After all, your son has really made some big and small remarks. In the past, he didn't care because King Wu was generous and tolerant for your sake. Now, if he cares about it, it's just business.

Gu Yong thought for a moment, then twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lu Dai, who has now stepped in as the governor of Jiaozhou, is enough to understand the superior's intentions and handle the matter properly. Why send someone else?"

Sun Quan nodded and said: "Well, I will send an order to Lu Dai to handle this matter properly and not to cause chaos in Jiaozhou."

"Yes."

Here Sun Quan arranged the transfer of the state, and then ordered Zhang Wen to send his envoy to Chengdu again with his handwritten letters and gifts.
