The last three kingdoms

Chapter 184

Liuping, Buxie, and Shengman became anxious when they heard this, and said, "Youjie, if the Shu Kingdom does not take out the three counties of Jiangzhou, our Wu Kingdom will not be able to send troops no matter what, and we sent troops to rescue them at this time. I'm afraid we'll all be busy in vain in the end."

Lu Kang had a reserved smile on his lips, he smiled without answering.

The sharp-eyed Sun Xiu seemed to understand something from Lu Kang's expression, and raised his hand and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient. Listen to what Lu Qing has to say."

Liu Ping and the others calmed down and looked at Lu Kang to see how he explained.

Lu Kang said calmly, "Do you remember how Liu Bei obtained Yizhou?"

Everyone couldn't help being startled, this was all about Chen Zhima's rotten millet so many years ago, why did Lu Kang mention it?As we all know, the former Yizhou was Liu Zhang's territory. Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent. Zhang Lu repeatedly invaded Hanzhong. Liu Zhang couldn't resist, so he had to send Zhang Song to Xudu to ask Cao Cao for help.Cao Cao hadn't acquired Long at that time, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to look at Shu, so he didn't have the mood to pay attention to Zhang Song. Zhang Song ran into a wall in Xudu. Later, Liu Zhang was urged to move troops to rescue Liu Bei.Liu Bei had long wanted to swallow Shu, and this time he entered Xichuan under the banner of aiding Shu, and finally stole Liu Zhang's territory grandiosely, taking the land of Bashu as his own, and Liu Bei was able to sit on the throne of the founding emperor of Shu Han.

Although it happened decades ago, and none of you present had the chance to experience it, everyone knew about it, but what makes people wonder is, why did Lu Kang mention this for no reason?
Sun Xiu also had a knowing smile on his face, and said, "Lu Qing has a big appetite."

Lu Kang also smiled and said: "History is always repeating itself. The situation in Yizhou is exactly the same as when Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were in the past. Why don't we go to Sichuan like Liu Bei's old story, and take advantage of this golden opportunity to wipe out Bashan and Shushui. Receive Jiangdong."

It was only then that Liuping, Buxie, Shengman and others realized that their appetite was only the three counties of Jiangzhou in the Shu Kingdom. If the Shu Kingdom bargained, the Badong County was also acceptable. It's more than that, he wants to swallow the whole of Xishu.Liu Ping and the others were stunned in astonishment, Lu Kang's appetite was really not ordinary.

High opportunities also entail high risks. If Wu State wants to swallow Shu State, it will not be an easy task. Centipede insects are dead but not stiff, and Shu State will definitely resist desperately. What's more, in Hanzhong, there is Wei State With an army of 20, Lu Kang's move is undoubtedly a trick out of the fire.

Although Sun Xiu was a little shocked by Lu Kang's bold idea, he also admired it very much. In his opinion, the things in the world can only be done if you dare to think about them. In the past few years, Lu Kang has been promoted very quickly, because Sun Xiu has taken a fancy to Lu Kang's strategy and general talent, and has a very similar side to his father Lu Xun. Today, he really spoke amazingly.But Sun Xiu believed that Lu Kang dared to say that, not just arrogant words, but that he already had a mature and thorough plan.

"Appreciate further details."

Lu Kang said confidently: "Your Majesty, Chen Jiu was in Xiling, and he is familiar with the mountains, rivers, geography, and garrison situation of Shu. There were originally 5000 soldiers under the command of Yong'an Governor of Shu Kingdom, but this time Hanzhong is in a hurry. Yong'an Governor Yan Yu has been transferred back to Chengdu, and the new governor of Yong’an, Luo Xian, has only [-] troops. Although there are few people, our army may not be able to take them lightly due to natural dangers. Deng Liang’s request for help this time undoubtedly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter Sichuan With aid as an excuse, our army entered Yong'an, and the natural moat became a thoroughfare. As long as we attack and kill Luo Xian in one fell swoop and take Yong'an, the gate of eastern Sichuan will be firmly in our hands. Wuxia returned to help, and Jia Chong invaded again in Langzhong, and the country of Shu was in dire straits. After our army captured Yong'an, we could attack Chengdu directly. Now there are [-] to [-] Imperial Forest Army in the middle of Shu, and there is no other place to defend against the enemy. Soldiers and ministers only need to lead [-] people, and within a month they will conquer Chengdu and capture Liu Chan alive. Once the Kingdom of Shu falls, His Majesty can use high-ranking officials and generous salary to recruit Jiang Weizongyu and others. Don't surrender? Your Majesty has already occupied Jingyang. If you get Bashu again, half of the world will return to Wu. Why should you be afraid of Wei at that time? This is a good opportunity for Your Majesty. If you don't take it, Yizhou will fall into the hands of the Wei people. It will be too late to regret it. Taking a step back, even if we fail to take all of Yizhou, as long as we have the opportunity to take down the three counties of Jiangzhou and stick to Yong'an, Jingzhou will be free from the disturbance of the western enemy, and the foundation of Jiangdong will be safe and sound. worry."

Sun Xiu looked at Lu Kang in amazement, and had to say that Lu Kang's plan was quite attractive. The Kingdom of Shu has been stationing heavy troops in Yong'an just to prevent the invasion of Soochow. Now the main force of the Shu army is concentrated on the northern line to resist the Wei people. The land from Yong'an to Chengdu is almost undefended. As long as the Soochow army can break through the Yong'an line of defense, Chengdu is almost at your fingertips. The Jiangdong Sun family has been looking forward to it for decades. The dream of expanding the territory can be realized.

After Sun Xiu ascended the throne, he has always been eager to revive the glory of his ancestors and fathers. From his attempt to the Northern Expedition, we can see Sun Xiu's ambition, but Cao Wei has always been on guard, and Sun Xiu has no chance. Now Lu Kang proposes This bold and crazy plan made Sun Xiu's heart skip a beat. Isn't this the opportunity he has been looking for?
Shi Ji said worriedly: "If our army sneaks into Shu under the banner of rescue, I'm afraid it will be criticized by the people of the world."

Lu Kang said disapprovingly: "The winner is the prince and the loser is Kou. Now the world only knows that Liu Bei is the founding king of the Shu Han. Who else remembers how he obtained Yizhou by cunning means? We are just following the example. If this great event is accomplished, people in the world will only remember my lord's wisdom and martial arts. What's more, the power of Shu is gone, and Dong Wu will not take it. In the end, it will only be cheaper for Cao Wei. If Cao Wei occupies the land of Yizhou, Shunjiang However, the danger of the Yangtze River in Soochow was lost. I am afraid that in the end it will only follow in the footsteps of the Shu Han. If it wants to fight against Cao Wei, Yizhou will do its part. If Soochow still wants to learn the benevolence and justice of Song Xianggong at this time, then Really become the laughing stock of the world."

Lu Kang dismissed Shi Ji's worries. There is no absolute standard for the so-called benevolence and righteousness. Its administration is its own master, no matter from that point of view, Lu Kang will not think that there is anything wrong with his plan, if the Kingdom of Shu is not destroyed, it is none of his business, what is the matter of eating the king's salary, and being loyal to the king To be a Wu minister is to seek the greatest benefit for the Wu country, and there is no other intention other than that.
