The last three kingdoms

Chapter 183 Disputes
Looking at Deng Liangyuan's back, General Zhengxi Liuping snorted heavily in his nostrils, and said contemptuously: "Sharp teeth, sharp tongue, these are the only people left in Shu, no wonder the country is about to perish."

Several civil and military ministers in the court all smiled knowingly. Although Wu and Shu are allies, they don't necessarily treat each other well. Just as the Shu people look down on the Wu people, the Wu people have never looked down on the Shu people. Of course This is only in private, and it is obvious that mutual ridicule behind the scenes has long been a practice. In front of the envoys of the Shu Kingdom, no one has done anything rude.

Sun Xiu also smiled, this kind of affinity can obviously narrow the relationship with the ministers, he said: "Just as Zhu Qing guessed, Shu Lord Liu Chan sent envoys to Jiangdong to rescue soldiers, what do you love? ?”

Liu Ping had the most direct temper, and said in a rough voice: "It's none of our business if the Kingdom of Shu is alive or not. Why should the disciples of Jiangdong shed their blood? Even if we save the Kingdom of Shu, what good is there for us, the Kingdom of Shu? How many cities are you willing to cede? According to someone’s opinion, one word, do not save!”

"Is this a word for you?" General Fu Jun Bu Xie gave him a sideways look and asked.

Liu Ping blushed, but he still said in a rough voice: "I'm just a big bastard, I can't read a few baskets of big characters, but I'm sure I'm dead, it's not good, don't do it! Let Jiangdong's children Bleeding and sweating, those boastful guys are sitting on their rewards, there is no way!"

Shi Ji, governor of Jingzhou, said slowly, "I think Deng Liang's words are somewhat reasonable. Today, Wei is strong and Wu and Shu are weak. Only when Wu and Shu join hands can the balance of the world be maintained. The three-legged confrontation began with the Battle of Chibi. It was precisely because Sun Liu joined forces at that time that he was able to defeat Cao Cao, who was in full swing, and built a three-point world structure between Wu, Shu and Wei. Now that Wei is aggressively attacking Shu, if we sit and watch Shu fall, we don’t know that Wei will not Will you take advantage of the situation to raise troops to attack Wu? It is true that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. Your Majesty, I think that the Kingdom of Shu needs to be rescued and troops must be dispatched as soon as possible. Given the current situation, the Kingdom of Shu may not be able to last long."

Sun Xiu didn't nod or shake his head, but cast his eyes on the other people and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"

The waiter Zhang preached: "What General Cailiu said just now has some truths. What he said is not rough. Our Great Wu can send aid to the Shu Kingdom, but there is no free feast in the world. The Shu Kingdom must show some sincerity. Don't want to pay any price, empty-handed white wolf? Then I am very sorry, the blood of Jiangdong soldiers is not in vain. The land of Jingzhou where you are located is the reason why Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, led the children of Jiangdong to fight bloody battles and burn Chibi. Was able to defeat Cao Cao, what did Liu Bei do, sit back and enjoy the benefits and swallow up half of Jingzhou all by himself. It is called "borrowing" from Jiangdong, but in the end, he has borrowed and has not repaid. He has been relying on it for 11 years. He was wise and decisive, and took advantage of Guan Yu's attack on Fancheng to take Jingzhou back. If this Jingzhou waits for Shu to return, we don't know when it will be."

Everyone agrees and nods frequently.This allusion that Liu Bei borrowed from Jingzhou is known to everyone in Jiangdong, and even three-year-old children are familiar with it. This is not unrelated to Soochow's deliberate propaganda.In the Jiangdong version of the story of regaining Jingzhou, Soochow is on the weak side. Jingzhou is a land that was stolen by Liu Bei. Just pay it back, but I really have to take down Yizhou, just like playing a rogue.As a creditor, Sun Quan begged his grandpa to sue his grandma in order to repay Jingzhou. He tried all tricks, but he had no choice but to take this rascal. In the end, he was forced into a hurry. The rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, so he took Guan Yu to attack Jingzhou, Fancheng. The empty opportunity took Jingzhou back in one fell swoop.

People all over the world are scolding Sun Quan for treachery and immorality. We are wronged in Jiangdong. We really died wronged. Taking back what belongs to us has become treachery. Liu Bei, but in the end everyone condemned Jiang Dong with one word, and no one scolded Liu Bei, a shameless villain.

Needless to say what happened later, losing Jingzhou made Liu Bei fly into a rage, Yu Jia came to ask for justice, but was beaten by Lu Xun, and it turned out that Liu Bei was asking for trouble, our Jiangdong is definitely not soft Let him knead the persimmons, Tianyi and justice are still on our side, or Zhuge Liang didn't take the pole to reconcile with Jiangdong back then.

If the great emperor Sun Quan hadn't made up his mind back then, I'm afraid that Jingzhou would still fall into the hands of Shu.This undoubtedly also gave the Wu people a revelation, that is, the interests that should be contended for must not be given up. Jingzhou was taken back, and the relationship between Wu and Shu was not unimaginably bad.If there is no benefit in sending troops to rescue the Kingdom of Shu this time, why should the Kingdom of Wu send troops?
Sheng Man, the prefect of Jianning, said: "Master Zhang's words are very true. The Kingdom of Shu has always been a rascal, and his words are not trustworthy. This time he asked the State of Wu to send troops, and he was reluctant to give anything substantial. There is no sincerity at all. In my opinion, it is better to postpone the dispatch of troops until the Kingdom of Shu is really unable to resist, we can put forward conditions to it, even if we cannot win the three counties of Jiangzhou, we must at least win the Badong County. However, the Kingdom of Shu forced When there is no way out, they will not give up any territory."

Shi Ji frowned, and said: "Since Wu and Shu are allies, is it unethical to openly blackmail them like this? I think that Deng Liang must not have the authority to cede land for his envoy this time. If we ask him for the three counties of Jiangzhou, I'm afraid that the master of Shu must nod to do it, and the situation in the middle of Shu has reached the point of no delay, if Wu does not send troops, I'm afraid that the 22 counties of Yizhou will be all owned by Wei."

Sheng Man said with a chuckle: "The mountains and rivers of the Shu Kingdom are dangerous, even if Chengdu is lost, the Shu Kingdom may not be able to perish. If they don't let them suffer, they will be reluctant to cut their flesh."

Liuping and the Infantry Association also stated that Wu State can send troops to rescue, but it cannot be unconditional. Before Shu State agrees to cede land, Wu State is determined not to send troops.

The ministers talked a lot, but Sun Xiu kept sitting upright, with a noncommittal smile on his face, and never made a statement. After everyone finished speaking, Sun Quan turned his attention to Lu Kang, who had never spoken, and said with a slight smile: "I don't know what Lu Qing's opinion is?"

Lu Kang also kept silent all the time, and when Sun Xiu asked him, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is the best time to send troops, so we should send troops immediately without delay!"
