Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 248 Sweeping out the rebel General Meng Da (3)
"That's right! That's right! Those red pottery utensils in the Central Plains look simple, heavy, and dull. How can they be as bright, bright, delicate and exquisite as the celadon objects in our Wuyue land? The lonely king is going to call Yue The kiln masters refine another batch of utensils, such as porcelain pillows, porcelain cups, and porcelain inkstones. Let Zhang Wen take them to Xishu to show them the beauty of Wuhua Tianbao and the essence of skilled craftsmanship. !"

Lu Xun listened, nodding his head to show his approval, but secretly smiled in his heart: This Sun Quan really is unwilling to be subordinate to others in everything, and his selfish intention is to show off the beauty of Yue kiln celadon to Cao Wei in the Central Plains. It's hard to say, so I turned a corner and borrowed Xishu to show off. It's really interesting!
Sun Quan put down the sheep's head celadon lamp on the imperial case, picked up a big yellow baht coin, handed it to Lu Xun, smiled and said: "Just take a look at this baht coin..."

Lu Xun hurriedly took it, but saw that the money was about the size of a palm, about four or five cents thick, and engraved with four small seal scripts "Daquan Wuqian" on it.He couldn't help being secretly surprised: the highest value of baht coins circulating in the Soochow market is only "Daquan five hundred", but Sun Quan ordered Hu Cao to mint this big coin worth "Daquan five thousand" for what?
Sun Quan seemed to see the surprise in his eyes, he laughed and said, "This batch of 'Daquan five thousand' baht coins was specially ordered by King Hu Cao to cast for you meritorious ministers! In the past, the lonely king rewarded you all One hundred boxes of 'Daquan [-]' baht money, you use calf carts to load one cart after another, and you can't move them in an hour or two, which is really troublesome! From now on, when meritorious deeds are rewarded, the lonely king will reward you More than ten boxes of 'Daquan five thousand' baht coins, you can carry them yourself..."

"My lord, I am really grateful to you for your kindness to me! Originally, in ancient and modern commercial markets, there are rewards for coins and decrees for baht, which is the great system of the country-but the king is so grateful for you!" Rewarding ministers and others without hesitating to give favors outside the law, ministers and others are deeply grateful, and the only way to repay them is to smash their bodies to pieces!"

Lu Xun has always been cautious and introverted, but at this moment he couldn't help knocking his head on the cypress floor, and said with tears in his eyes.

"That's all! That's all! Gu Wang and Bo Yan, you have always been "entrusting the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers on the outside, and fraternal love on the inside, obeying what you say, sharing misfortune and fortune, and never burdening each other"-you are a bit out of touch when you say these words today !" Sun Quan waved his hands in panic, and stood up to help.

Lu Xun hastily stepped back on his knees, wiped away the tears from his cheeks, and sat down respectfully.

"Bo Yan, you came here in a hurry, but what is there to tell you?" Sun Quan calmed down, sat up straight behind the case, and asked him with a straight face.

Lu Xun also looked solemn, so he reported Meng Da's intention to surrender to Sun Quan from the beginning to the end.

After Sun Quan listened, he pondered for a moment, his eyes sparkled, he looked at Lu Xun and asked, "So, according to Bo Yan, is this Meng Da a real surrender or a fake surrender?"

"It should be a true surrender. When Weichen led an army to attack Jiangling last month, according to common sense, Meng Da should have rushed down from the east of Xincheng County to help Pei Qian nearby. However, Weichen has been besieging Jiangling for 26 days. It was extremely critical, but Meng Da remained indifferent! At that time, the minister could see that this person was hesitant to wait and see. Now that the "siege of Jiangling" has been lifted, Pei Qian will definitely blame him deeply; while Sima Yi He and Wei Ting also had a clear understanding of Meng Da's hesitant and wait-and-see behavior at the beginning, and naturally it was difficult for him to tolerate him. Therefore, this time Meng Da sent people to come here to beg for surrender, and there is a danger of internal coercion, and it must be a real surrender."

Sun Quan listened to every word he said very carefully, with a serious expression on his face, bowed his head in meditation for a long time, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, the lonely king will believe that he is really surrendering. Originally, if Meng Da he raised Xincheng For my great Wu, it is really a blessing: if my great Wu gets the county of Xincheng, it is equivalent to adding another "fulcrum" on top of the previous two counties of Xiakou and Changsha. Implement a half-moon-shaped 'arc of outflanking' on the Jingxiang area from the east, south, and west directions-at that time, even though Sima Yi has the ability to reach the sky, under the attack from these three sides, he will still be at a loss! Fortunately, after my Great Wu took advantage of the momentum and captured Jingxiang in one fell swoop, I can smoothly advance northward into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and when the army approaches Yuzhou and Luoyang, the emperor's career can be accomplished!"

Hearing this, Lu Xun's eyes were shining brilliantly, and he was so excited that he couldn't help interjecting: "Your Majesty is indeed wise and wise, unparalleled in this world! The reason why this humble official came here in a hurry to meet and ask for instructions is also to see the leopard in the pipe. But I didn't expect that the king would have a keen insight into all this when he heard it——I am so amazed!"

Although Sun Quan understood that these were Lu Xun's compliments, he still felt very comfortable with the sound, and his eyes suddenly overflowed with a deep sense of complacency.He was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was a secret movement in his heart, and a gleam of worry could not help adding to the brows: "Of course, if Meng Da can come here smoothly, my great Wu's "outflanking, attacking on three sides, and sweeping Jingxiang" It can be said that he succeeded in one fell swoop! However, what a sinister and cunning person is Sima Yi, the governor of Zhennan, the pseudo-Wei, how could he just sit back and watch Meng Da surrender to my Great Wu so easily under his nose? Maybe At this moment, Sima Yi has already secretly monitored him."

"Your Majesty is very worried about this." Lu Xun couldn't help admiring the idea in Sun Quan's chest, nodded slightly and said, "Because of this, I came to meet you in a hurry to ask for instructions: I implore Your Majesty to agree to allocate [-] yuan." The elite soldiers went upstream to Xiling City, under the leadership of Weichen himself, went straight up the Shennong Mountain Range, passed through the Mulan plug, and joined forces with Meng Da in Xincheng County, and then waited for the opportunity to go east to Xiangyang! If the king does not act decisively , I'm afraid it will change if it's too late!"

"Forty thousand elite soldiers? You want to send forty thousand elite soldiers to aid Meng Da?" Sun Quan was stunned, and his eyes shot at Lu Xun.

"That's right. There are a lot of Wei bandits in Jingzhou, and I have to use [-] elite soldiers to help them in depth." Lu Xun said in a very positive tone.

"Forty thousand elite soldiers? After the forty thousand elite soldiers are dispatched, how much armor, food and grass, and boats will it cost me? If you use [-] elite soldiers to make a special trip to fight against the wooden barrier, the lonely king will at least pay for it." You are equipped with [-] logistics soldiers..." Sun Quan frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Gu Wang has agreed here, I am afraid that Gu Yong Xiangguo may not be able to pass..."

As soon as Lu Xun heard this, he immediately understood that Sun Quan was playing Tai Chi-style excuses again, so his complexion darkened and he remained silent.

"Bo Yan!" Sun Quan stared at Lu Xun deeply, and said slowly, "The lonely king has fought in the north and south for so many years, and he has killed countless enemies and made great achievements. Designed according to the enemy - all strategies are adapted to the enemy's conditions and changes according to the enemy. The key to the lonely king's invincibility is to never underestimate any opponent on the opposite side. You have seen Sima Yi's methods , How cunning, unpredictable, and deceitful he is, how can he be taken lightly!

"Also, the lonely king said just now that Meng Da's return is really a 'fortunate inheritance'. Since it is a 'fortunate inheritance', it is difficult to guarantee that everything will be successful and the achievements will be made. Bo Yan, listen to the lonely king. In other words, don’t invest too much energy and time in Mengda, just give it a try! You must not take risks to help Mengda, you can only send 1 people to Mulan at most It’s enough for Sekou to meet Meng Da! You must remember that the lonely king is here to give you eight-character advice—‘Advance when you see something is possible, and retreat when you know it’s difficult’!”

At this point, he saw that Lu Xun's eyes were full of disappointment, so he got up and leaned into his ear and whispered: "Bo Yan, you don't know something. A secret report came, claiming that Peng Qi, the elder of the rich clan in Poyang County, was secretly gathering tribes and tribesmen, preparing to raise troops and respond to Cao Xiu in Hefei to make trouble. Do you think the lonely king can take care of the West Wing at this moment? Maybe in the future In two days, the lonely king will personally lead Zhou Fang, Lu Dai and others to go eastward to settle this trouble..."

Lu Xun's face became even more gloomy, and he only sighed softly: "Since the king has such internal worries, I will stop talking too much. It is a pity that my great Wu will lose another victory over Jingxiang. Good opportunity... In the future, if you want to find such an opportunity again, it will be extremely difficult!"

Immediate decision
"Shen Yi sent a secret report of speeding up and riding fast for eight hundred miles, and reported to the governor: Meng Da, the prefect of Xincheng County, and Zhuge Liang, the pseudo-Shu, secretly colluded and exchanged tokens. The inside should cooperate with the outside, and wantonly create chaos. Now that the situation is like this, I don’t know what you think about this incident?”

In the conference hall of the South Metropolitan Government Office in Wancheng Town, Sima Yi's deep and powerful voice slowly echoed between the four walls, as if it was shaking heavily in the ears of every general under his command one after another.

"Then do you need to say more? Please ask the governor to ask the imperial court to go and question him!" Cao Zhao stepped out of the line and said with fists clasped.

Sima Yi stroked his beard without saying a word, then raised his eyes to scan the other generals in front of the case.They all bowed their backs and replied in unison: "This subordinate waits to listen to the order of the governor, and vow to defeat the traitor!"

"Speaking of it, you may not believe it: in fact, the Governor had anticipated Meng Da's defection to the enemy and his rebellion. Do you think why he came back because he betrayed the Lord and Shu? It was only because Liu Feng, the general of Shu, invaded him. He advocates honor and honor! This shows that he is really a person who forgets righteousness for profit! This kind of despicable villain has no bones and no bones. How can he keep his behavior as long as he sees profit and avoids death?" Sima Yi With a serious expression on his face, he said solemnly, "However, you don't have to worry - no matter how the thief maneuvers and deceives, he has now fallen into the hands of the governor, and his head will be taken in the near future to correct his crimes." !"

Then, he clasped his fists together, bowed far away to the north, and said seriously: "In order to prevent this matter from leaking out, the governor decided to immediately exercise the right to 'do it cheaply' - to ask His Majesty's imperial decree today, and at the same time to write a call The 3 troops under Mu Jiakui of Yuzhou will join up with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters under the previous tent of the governor, and the governor will personally lead them, and immediately rush to the new city day and night!"

As soon as he said this, the hall was suddenly silent, so quiet that there was no sound.

But seeing Xia Houru's brows slightly frowned, he finally couldn't hold back, and came out and said: "I will report to the governor, according to the imperial court regulations, all officials above the prefect and above who rank two thousand stones must be executed through an edict issued by your majesty." .Now that the new emperor is on the top and the holy will is not clear, according to my subordinates, you'd better wait until the imperial decree is approved, and then I will attack west according to the decree!"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "This governor has already thought about this matter thoroughly. My Wancheng is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and it will inevitably take half a month between the round trip and the meeting. If you want to sit here and wait After the imperial decree is approved, if we send troops to attack the west half a month later, I am afraid that this matter will be leaked and the opportunity will be lost! I can't wait, I will break out of the camp today!"
