The last three kingdoms
Chapter 965
Chapter 965
Zhong Hui raised his head to look at Xia Houxian, and said with some doubts, "You mean..."
Xia Houxian said calmly, "Your Majesty, the people of Wu took this opportunity to blackmail, and their intentions are vicious. If Your Majesty surrenders the city and military power, it will be reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others, so this matter is absolutely unacceptable."
Wang Maidao: "But the situation is pressing now. If the Wu people don't agree to their request, they will refuse to send troops. But with the current strength of Xiangyang troops, it is impossible to stop Yanghu's attack. Once the city is broken, our end will be dire. It is worse than taking refuge in the Wu people."
Xia Houxian said: "Wu people are best at treachery. We have offended them before. With the character of Wu people who must pay back, General Wang thinks that they will treat us kindly after they take Xiangyang? Since they want to surrender, it is not necessary to surrender Wu. , It might be a better choice to descend to Shu."
"Subdued to Shu?" Wang Mai shook his head and said, "Shu is far away from each other, and far away water can't solve the problem of near fire."
Xia Houxian said: "Otherwise, Jiang Wei, the great general of the Shu Kingdom, is now stationed in Hanzhong, and he has long intended to advance eastward. If the king sends someone to ask for surrender, Jiang Wei will be happy. The final general thinks that the conditions for surrendering to Shu are definitely better than surrendering to Wu. What's more, the power of Shu Kingdom is expanding so rapidly now that Yongliang and Liangzhou have been merged into the land of Hebei. In the future, the Jin Dynasty will swallow Wu and annex the world. It must be Shu Kingdom. It is most wise for the king to choose to descend to Shu."
Zhong Hui frowned and said: "Jiang Wei has fought with this king for many years, and the hatred is deep. I don't know if Jiang Wei agrees to surrender this time. Even if Jiang Wei can nod now, who can guarantee that he will not turn his face in the future?"
Xia Houxian said: "Your Majesty is too worried. In the previous battle of Yizhou, Your Majesty was just following the orders of Sima Zhao, and each was his own master. Now that he handed over his hands and offered the four prefectures of Jingzhou, how could Jiang Wei not like it? Our family When his uncle Xiahouba came to Shu, even the Lord of Shu personally greeted him, and the treatment was far better than that in Wei State. He has always achieved the high position of chariot and cavalry general. One soldier did not dedicate a city or land. Now the king brings one hundred thousand soldiers and four counties to Shu, and his meritorious service is far above Xiahouba. Why is the Lord of Shu not happy? It is inferior to Xiahouba back then."
Zhong Hui also nodded secretly. Zhong Hui was naturally very clear about Xiahouba's affairs. Back then, Xiahouba was persecuted by the Sima family and forced to surrender to Shu. He was suspected of being a surrendered general. In the later Shu Kingdom's campaign against Wei, Xia Houba also held military power repeatedly, and once became the number two figure in the Shu Army after Jiang Wei.
Of course, Zhong Hui did not dare to hope that after surrendering to Shu, he could reach the status of Xiahouba. After all, the current Shu Kingdom is no longer the original Shu Kingdom. In terms of status, it is obviously unrealistic to think of being a king of Wei Xing, but it is enough to guarantee a high official and generous salary.
But no matter whether they surrender to Wu or Shu, what will happen in the future is still unknown in the final analysis. This is equivalent to a gamble. If you win the gamble, you will have a bright future.
The conditions offered by the State of Wu made it difficult for Zhong Hui to accept, but the State of Shu did not know the specific situation, so Zhong Hui did not rush to make a decision, so he sent Xia Houxian to Hanzhong to meet Jiang Wei, and wait to see Jiang Wei. What kind of conditions Wei can offer here will be decided later.
Without delay, Xia Houxian set off immediately, turned to Shangyong, and went straight to Hanzhong.
Jiang Wei also just arrived in Hanzhong, and the situation in Shuzhong has generally remained stable. Except for Yong'an, the Shu army has recovered all the land, and the court of Shu Kingdom has also moved from Nanzhong to Shuzhong, but Chengdu is still In a piece of scorched earth, with the current weak national strength of the Shu Kingdom, there is no financial and material resources to rebuild the city of Chengdu. Jiang Wei suggested to Liu Chan to temporarily move the capital to Luocheng to facilitate the management of the entire Yizhou.
Although the city of Luocheng is small, and the temporarily built palace is not even comparable to the palaces used by the emperor when he went on tour, but Liu Chan can return to Shuzhong, and it feels that it is infinitely better than staying in Nanzhong, so Liu Chan does not have much. On the contrary, he is more satisfied with Jiang Wei's arrangement.
Liu Chan was born the year before the Battle of Chibi, and he is already in his sixties this year. Years of wine and sex have hollowed out his body, and the ten years of displacement have made Liu Chan's body worse every day. On the same day, when he left Chengdu, Liu Chan was still in a slump, but when he moved back to Shu, he was already in his twilight years.
Jiang Wei, who is five years older than Liu Chan, is already very old, but his long-term military career has made this ancient old man look energetic. After the left and right chariot generals Zhang Yi and Liao Hua died of illness, Jiang Wei has become He is the oldest veteran among the generals of the Shu Kingdom, but this "evergreen tree" in the Shu Kingdom's military circle is the spiritual symbol of the Shu Army. Questioned the status of General Jiang Wei, but in the minds of many people, Jiang Wei is still the immortal god of war in their hearts, with an irreplaceable status.
Unlike Liu Yin fighting on the outer line, in the past ten years, Jiang Wei has almost held up a piece of the sky in the middle of Shu. In the dispute between the Three Kingdoms, the enemy is strong and we are weak, Jiang Weineng successfully completed the counterattack and regained the big land in the middle of Shu. Part of the territory is indeed indispensable. In all fairness, Jiang Wei's record in Shuzhong is comparable to Liu Yin's. Among the two brightest twin stars.
It stands to reason that Jiang Wei can be regarded as successful and famous. Now that he is more than a few years old, it should be time to retire to the second line and take care of his life. But although Jiang Wei is old, his heart is not old. According to the news from Jingzhou, Jiang Wei believed that the time had come for the Shu army to advance eastward. He immediately wrote a letter to Liu Chan, requesting to lead troops from Hanzhong, take the three counties of Shangyong in the east, and then march into the Central Plains. Together with Liu Yin on the North Road, Declare war against the Jin Dynasty, realize the unfulfilled wish of Prime Minister Zhuge, restore the Han Dynasty, and return to the old capital.
At first Liu Chan disagreed, thinking that Jiang Wei was old and no longer suitable for the expedition, but Jiang Wei insisted on his own opinion and made a generous statement, thinking that now is the best time to realize Zhuge Prime Minister's long-cherished wish. It will take another few decades to realize this dream. Time does not wait for me, only seize the day and night. Jiang Wei finally persuaded the later master Liu Chan with the allusion that Lian Po is old and can still eat, and he left Luocheng with [-] troops. , The soldiers came to Hanzhong and embarked on a journey eastward to the Central Plains.
