Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 30 The Protagonist
No matter how grandly the wedding banquet is prepared, it ends haphazardly.

The wedding banquet scene decorated in red suddenly turned into a meeting hall.The word '囍' behind Liu Biao seemed to reveal a sense of embarrassment in Huo Jun's eyes.

Liu Biao sat in the middle, Liu Bei and Liu Qi sat on the left and right respectively, with civil and military officials sitting on both sides.Everyone had different expressions. Kuai Yue thought deeply about the reason for this matter, Liu Qi was impatient and restless, Liu Bei sat firmly at the table...

After a while, Liu Biao looked solemnly and said: "There was a nursery rhyme prophecy in the past, and there was a book given by the water god later. This may be a sign sent by the gods, and we should follow it."

Kuai Yue pondered for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Ming Gong, it is difficult to know whether the book is hidden in the belly of the fish. It is probably a traitor. Now, with just a piece of silk and a nursery rhyme, we can send troops to Jiangdong to fight with the Sun family. It would be worse to start a war than to go too far."

Kuai Yue relied on his intuition. He always felt that there was a force pushing Liu Biao to go to war with Sun Quan, but this force did not belong to his side.In order to know the source of this power, he must speak out against it and see if he can force this person out.

Wang Can, who had been entrusted by Huo Jun earlier, raised his hands and said: "I am reporting to Duke Ming, Kuai Junhou's words may be biased. Who in Jingzhou can be enemies with the Sun family? From Can's perspective, except Duke Ming, no one is against Sun. Family feud. Although the Sun family is cruel, most of the people who have enmity are from the Jiangzuo family."

"If I try to force it out, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, whom Sun Jian killed, had enmity with the Sun family. However, Wang and Zhang were not from Jingzhou. Therefore, what Junhou Kuai said was caused by a traitor. I don't know what the reason is. Who do you mean?"

Wang Can refutes Kuai Yue's illogicality from the perspective of gains and losses. Since someone may be causing trouble, it must be revenge for those who have suffered losses.

"Ok!"

The suspicious Liu Biao stared at Kuai Yue, seeming to suspect something.

Kuai Liang came out in time, raised his hands and said: "Ming Gong, in the past at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, in order to seek the support of the soldiers and deceive people's hearts, they once carried out such things as hiding books in the belly of fish and making foxes roar in bonfires. What we are doing today cannot be the same as our predecessors. If you are not prepared, and whether there are ghosts or gods, you need to discuss it carefully."

As soon as Kuai Liang finished speaking, Yi Ji retorted: "Master Kuai's words and deeds are the same as those of his predecessors, but if there is a traitor, how come he doesn't know about it? If Ji is a traitor, he will definitely do other things, and he will confuse people's hearts. .”

With that said, Yi Ji raised his hands towards Liu Biao and said, "My lord, you must not ignore the omens sent by the gods. Moreover, this bad omen is sent on a happy day, which shows that the disaster is not small, so you should guard against it!"

"Exactly!"

Huo Jun stood up and said in a deep voice: "There are things about ghosts and gods in the world. Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake and raised an army. With the spirit of the emperor, he defeated Xiang Yu, swept away the heroes, and established the foundation of our Han Dynasty; and Emperor Shizu, the battle of Kunyang, Xinjiang There were millions of brave soldiers, but fortunately the star fell from the top of the camp, and the army was overrun by them, bleeding for three thousand miles, and building up the foundation of our great Han Dynasty."

"I dare to ask you two, if there were no ghosts and gods in the world, how could I, Emperor Gaozu, and Emperor Shizu rule the world?" Huo Jun asked scoldingly.

"Ming Gong, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Don't speak in terms of ghosts and gods, just talk about the pros and cons. The benefits of our army's expedition to Jiangzuo outweigh the disadvantages."

Huo Jun's verbal output from the commanding heights left the Kuai brothers speechless.The authenticity of Gaozu's uprising against the White Snake can still be discussed, but how can we tell clearly that Emperor Shizu summoned meteorites to come to the world?

Huo Jun held his long sword in his hand, paced in the center, and said: "According to what Jun learned from Jiangzuo merchants, the Sun family and the Cao family have been related by marriage for a long time. The daughter of Sun Bi, the prefect of Yuzhang, was the wife of Cao Cao's second son, Cao Zhang. Cao Cao also married his younger brother Cao Zhang. The female partner is Sun Ce’s younger brother Sun Kuang.”

"Last year, Cao Cao used the power of Duke Benchu ​​to send envoys to ask for a hostage from Sun Quan. Now Sun Quan may have sent the hostage north."

"what?"

"Marriage between Sun and Cao?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.The secret of the marriage between Sun and Cao is known to only a few people.If Huo Jun hadn't told it himself, how would Liu Biao and the officials in Jingzhou know this secret.

Seeing everyone like this, the corners of Huo Jun's mouth slightly raised. This was another bomb in his hand.If he had not had the memory of later generations, he would not have known that Sun Cao had married in the early days.As for the proton, he didn't know whether it was true or false, but who could tell the difference between two truths and one lie?

Liu Biao's expression had changed somewhat. If the Sun family and the Cao family were really married, wouldn't it mean that both the north and east of Jingzhou would be enemies?Cao Cao goes south and Sun Quan goes west, so he doesn't have to play anymore.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. They did not expect that besides them in the south, there were also people in Jiangdong who were flirting with Cao Cao.

At this time, Kuai Yue also fully understood Huo Jun's purpose. They supported Liu Cong, while Huo Jun and Yi Ji supported Liu Qi.Taking advantage of these events, he planned to attack Jiangdong and help Liu Qi inherit the throne of Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue looked at Huo Jun, feeling wary. This son could not stay in Xiangyang. If he stayed in Xiangyang, his career would be ruined.

Liu Biao turned his attention to Liu Bei, trying to think of something to prove.After all, Liu Bei came from Xuchang and stayed with Cao Cao.

Liu Bei bowed his hand to Liu Biao and said, "Your Majesty, what Huo Canjun said is true. The Cao family and the Sun family have been married for a long time, and the two families are close, so we should be on guard."

In anger, Liu Biao pounded the armrest of the table to vent his dissatisfaction and said: "Cao Cao, Sun Quan!"

After watching the play all night, Liu Qi stood up and went out to the queue, saying: "Father, Sun and I have a lot of hatred in Jingzhou. Now Qi is willing to lead his troops to Jiangdong, with General Zuo as his assistant, so as to promote our power in Jingzhou and defeat Sun and Cao." Plans between the two families and guarding against bad omens.”

Seeing this scene, Kuai Yue secretly sighed that something was not good. If Liu Qi took over the military power, Liu Cong would be in danger.Then their purpose of using Jingzhou as their capital and seeking refuge with Cao Cao would be in vain.

Kuai Yue heard the sound and came out and said: "Reporting to Duke Ming, Sun Tzu said: "The military is a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. We must observe it. "Now we don't know the depth of Jiangzuo, so we must not launch troops easily. Moreover, the eldest son rarely knows about fighting on the battlefield. If we are defeated, it will be no small matter." After saying that, Kuai Yue quickly made gestures to indicate to Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, and others. Zhang Yun and others came out to shout.

"Ming Gong, this year Liu Shijun will go on an expedition to the Central Plains, which will cost a lot of military resources. Moreover, the campaign in Jiaozhou is endless and the people are tired, so it may be difficult to send troops to attack Wu." Kuai Liang said: "Ming Gong's expedition to Jiangdong should be considered in the long run."

Zhang Yun also stood up and said: "Ming Gong, Cao Cao is in the Central Plains. If Liu Yuzhou is not guarding him, who can defeat him? Moreover, Liu Yuzhou does not know the method of water warfare. Although it is useful for running the army, who will the water army fight for? Competent?"

"The Jiangdong soldiers are brave and brave, but our soldiers are not as good as them. Under a sudden attack, they may collude with Cao Cao to attack south, and Jingzhou will be in danger by then. From what we see, Jiangxia can just increase its troops for defense, but Cao Cao in the north will have a serious worry." Zhang Yun said.

After repeated persuasion by his cronies, Liu Biao hesitated again.Compared with Huo Jun and Liu Qi, Liu Biao relied on these Xiangyang people all the year round, and their voice was quite important in Jingzhou.

Seeing this, Huo Jun laughed a few times to attract everyone's attention. Holding his sword in hand, he strode out again and said: "Ming Gong, the words of the Xiangyang princes may seem safe, but they are actually the way to death. Today, The world seems to be like the Warring States Period, with heroes attacking each other frequently. The strong will become strong, and the weak will perish."

"Chief Qi led the army to conquer Jiangdong because he thought about the great cause of Jingzhou. In the water battle, he could be assisted by Huang Taishou, and in the land battle, Liu Yuzhou could be assisted. Huang Taishou was the man who shot Sun Jian, the tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, and guarded Jiangxia for several years. Although I have suffered occasional defeats due to my old age, it is only due to the overwhelming power on the left side of the Yangtze River. Liu Yuzhou broke the Yellow Turban, saved Xuzhou, killed chariots and horsemen, and rampaged across the Central Plains. He is truly a great general."

Huo Jun's tall and heroic figure suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. He was the protagonist of the show tonight.

"With the help of these two, Mr. Qi, even if it is difficult to defeat Jiangdong, he can still be undefeated." Huo Jun said confidently.

"Father, what Huo Shenjun said is absolutely true!" Liu Qi said.

Then Huo Jun looked at everyone, raised his voice, and said: "As for the situation in the Central Plains, Jun secretly thought that although Hebei and Yuan were in opposition, Hebei had strong troops and Cao Cao could not rush. If he can't attack Jiangzuo now, how long will it take? "

"As for the matter of food and grass, I have heard that raising an army takes a thousand days and deploying troops for a while. Jingzhou is rich, so how come there is no food for the army to attack Jiangzuo? Therefore, it all depends on Duke Ming's thoughts."

With that said, Huo Jun bowed his hands to Liu Biao and said in a sincere tone: "Ming Gong, today is a great wedding banquet, but the sky suddenly drops a bad omen. It is really a sign from the gods. This is the victory of God's will. The Sun family of Jiangzuo, the counties and counties are not going well, and the thieves and bandits are here." It’s restless, but our government in Jingzhou is harmonious and harmonious. This is the victory of harmonious people. The water of the river, Jingzhou is in the middle and the left side of the river is at the bottom. Going down the river, this is the victory of geographical advantage!"

Huo Jun pressed his sword with one hand and said in a serious tone: "Jingzhou has three victories for heaven, earth and man. If we don't attack it, it will be against God's will. And if we don't attack Jiangzuo, Sun Quan will also send troops to our Jingzhou. If we don't fight now, , you should be stupid!"

"color!"

Everyone present looked at Huo Jun sideways. Today, Huo Jun almost relied on the power of his words to completely confirm Liu Biao's idea of ​​attacking Jiangdong.

Off the field, Fu Xun shook his head and sighed. He had underestimated Huo Jun. With his abilities, he could rival the national warriors.

The newly married Cai daughter hid in the side hall, looking at the heroic and majestic Huo Jun, and then looking at the incompetent Liu Cong, feeling bleak in her heart.I don’t know what kind of girl could be worthy of such a great husband!

Zhuge Liang, who was peeking at the situation from behind the curtain, also stopped his feather fan. Compared to everyone else, he vaguely knew the content of Huo Jun's plan.

"Huo Zhongmiao is such a man! When he is angry, Jiang and Han are afraid, and when he lives in peace, Jingchu is extinguished." Zhuge Liang sighed with an envious tone.

After pondering for a while, Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, who had not expressed any opinion, and asked in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Degui, if we send troops to attack Sun, are there any troops available in Jingzhou?"

Cai Mao took a deep breath and said: "To inform you, Duke Ming, what Huo Canjun said is not unreasonable. However, it is inconvenient to mobilize the army. It is winter and the river water has dropped, which is not conducive to water warfare. The battle can be postponed. Huo Canjun said that Sun will definitely meet To invade Jiangxia, it is better to order Huo to join the army and strengthen Jiangxia. Firstly, it can be a precursor to attack Sun, and secondly, it can temporarily prevent Sun's invasion."

"When spring comes and summer rises, the food and grass preparations are completed, and the sergeants' drills are in order, then the eldest son will be invited to go on an expedition. Moreover, the new field defense line is of great importance, and Liu Yuzhou still needs to make proper arrangements."

"How long will it take to prepare?" Liu Biao asked.

"Perhaps the preparations can be completed in the spring!" Cai Mao said vaguely.

"Okay!" Liu Biao cast his eyes on Huo Jun and asked, "Zhongmiao has both civil and military talents, and he also persuaded me to attack Jiangzuo. Do you want to go to Jiangxia?"

"Jun is willing to go to Jiangxia and serve Ming Gong!" Huo Jun replied in a deep voice.

Huo Jun glanced at Cai Mao, and he could clearly see Cai Mao's procrastination.In order to go to Jiangdong, he must go to Jiangxia.

"good!"

Huo Jun: Vote, collect, and read.
