Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 709

"I thought Dan would condemn Cao Pi everywhere, and asked Sun Quan and Liu Bei to punish the rebels!"

"That's exactly what I mean. You Ruo can send Wang Can to Jiangdong and Yizhou later." Zhou Cang nodded. "Duanmuling, send a letter to Junyi immediately, ordering him to lead the army to approach Hanoi, and then order Liyang Xu Sheng's troops to prepare for the expedition."

"This?" Xu Shu was taken aback, Zhou Cang had never arranged to send troops so hastily.His questions were quickly answered.

Zhou Cang looked at Zhou Chong: "Zhou Chong sent Jinyiwei spies to sneak into Shanyang to find out what the emperor is doing. I am afraid that after I send troops, Cao Pi will be against the emperor."

"Yes." Zhou Chong knew in his heart that Zhou Cang's arrangements were superficial, to pave the way for his own plan.

"Yuanzhi, you organize the Qingzhou army and horses and prepare to go out. As for how to use the army, we will discuss it after Zhou Chong finds out the situation and Wang Can returns from his envoy." Zhou Cang said after a while: "Yang Rui, you and Zhang Shuang choose craftsmen. The imperial palace will be built on land near Shungeng Mountain or Lishui Pi.”

Shungeng Mountain will become Qianfo Mountain in the future, and Lishuipi will be Daming Lake.The best Baotu Spring was occupied by Zhou Cang, and the imperial palace could only be located in these two places.Even though it was the emperor's temporary palace, Zhou Cang didn't plan to build it in a grand way.

"Furthermore, in ordering Jiang Gan to appease the prefectures, counties, and counties, Cao Pi pretended to be the destiny, and he would die sooner or later; the emperor is now safe and sound, and the Han Dynasty will not perish; all policies under my rule remain unchanged. Agriculture, business, and education are all in place, so there is no need to panic; colleges You must not discuss government affairs indiscriminately, let alone create rumors." Zhou Cang announced the adjournment after delivering the last order.

If Zhou Cang's place is still stable, Sun Quan's place is already in a state of explosion.Everyone doesn't care about whether the dynasty will change, but what Jiangdong should do.Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, so is Sun Quan going to proclaim himself a minister to Cao Pi?There are those who support it and those who oppose it, and most of them want to wait and see first.

In the war in the north, the gentry crossing the river in the north will be in chaos. The more prestigious ones are Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Hua Xin, and Wang Lang.Zhang Hong died early, and Hua Xin and Wang Lang were sent to Cao Cao long ago, so the local gentry in Jiangdong had more say.

Supporters believe that the biggest hidden danger in Jiangdong now is Liu Bei, and the feud with Liu Bei cannot be resolved. When the two families go to war, only Cao Pi can help, at least don't let Cao Pi get into trouble.Instead of cramming temporarily, it is better to express your attitude to Cao Pi first.

Opponents believe that Cao Pi's arrogance and self-reliance will inevitably lead to Zhou Cang and Liu Bei's conquest, and this is the time when Jiangdong is reaping benefits.Confessing himself to Cao Pi will arouse Zhou Cang's resentment.

Those on the sidelines think that they must first look at the attitudes of Zhou Cang and Liu Bei. These two people will definitely not submit to Cao Pi, especially Zhou Cang, who is very likely to become emperor, or at least will foster a new monarch.At this time, it is not wise for Sun Quan to express his attitude prematurely. It is better to let Zhou Cang compete with Cao Pi first, and Jiangdong will not suffer any damage.

Sun Quan was very annoyed, but it was a pity that his famous generals withered, and there were no generals like Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng. Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to make a choice?If there is one person, my Sun Zhongmou can also be the emperor!

Wait and see?Sun Quan clearly realized that when Cao Yuan fought back then, Liu Biao just waited and watched instead of standing in line, and it was too late to surrender to Cao Cao afterwards.Waiting and watching seems to be offending both parties, but in fact both sides are offended.What can we do if we don't wait and see?

Although the opinions of his subordinates were inconsistent, Sun Quan knew very well that their purpose was only one: to defend Jiangdong.The world is divided into four, Zhou Cang is the strongest, followed by Cao Pi. I and Liu Bei are weaker than them. Liu Bei has the danger of mountains and rivers, but his own rivers are not so solid. Although Jiangdong is good at water warfare, Zhou Cang's navy It will never be weaker than Jiang Dong, otherwise the eldest brother Sun Ce would not have lost to Jiang Ling.

Zhou Cang had always maintained an alliance with himself before, and that was Zhou Cang's desire to deal with Cao Cao. Once Zhou Cang took control of the overall situation, the next step would definitely be against himself.In Sun Quan's mind, Zhou Cang's threat was even greater!To eliminate this threat, the only way is to put Cao Pi at the front. As long as Cao Pi exists, Zhou Cang will be powerless to touch Jiangdong!

"What do Mr. Zhang think?" Sun Quan turned his attention to Zhang Zhao.

"When Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, Zhou Cangdang knew the news earlier than me. He has two reasons. One is that Zhou Cang also wants to stand on his own, and the other is that he wants to establish a new emperor. Both of them need to be approved by the lord. As I expected, it is not bad. In the past few days Zhou Cang will send envoys to Jiangdong. My lord, why don't you explore Zhou Cang's reality before making any plans?"

"Huh?" Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, he thought of a question, why didn't Cao Pi send an envoy?Could it be that Cao Pi was waiting for his own reaction?

"Let Zhang Zi go to Xudu as an envoy to congratulate and pay tribute." Sun Quan took a compromise, sending people to pay tribute was equivalent to agreeing with Cao Pi's proclaiming emperor, but he himself did not proclaim himself a vassal to Cao Pi.

He wanted to be sloppy, but Cao Pi's eyes could not tolerate sand, and he could see through Sun Quan's hypocrisy at a glance. Since someone remembers eating but not beating, he will beat you to surrender.Cao Pi secretly ordered Cao Ren to look for an opportunity to capture Xiangyang, and also secretly ordered Zhang Liao to prepare to capture Hefei.Give Sun Quan some color first, don't think that I dare not beat you now, I'll deal with Zhoucang after you are convinced.

In March [-] of the Han Dynasty, Wang Can arrived in Jiankang.Zhou Cang didn't proclaim himself emperor, and he didn't seek to benefit the new emperor!This was beyond the expectations of everyone in Jiangdong, and it was difficult for Sun Quan to figure out what Zhou Cang was thinking.Sun Quan readily agreed to the suggestion of jointly attacking Cao Pi, but he euphemistically explained to Wang Can that the main force of Jiangdong is now in Jingzhou to guard against Liu Bei, and it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses to prepare food and grass.

"Don't worry too much, Mr. Wu. I will go to Yizhou to meet Liu Xuande under the order of the King of Political Affairs, and persuade Liu Bei to send troops together. Then Jingzhou will be fine. The three of us attack Cao Pi together. Cao Pi is the second Yuan Shu. The rejuvenation of the family is just around the corner." Wang Can was a staunch royalist, and he was deeply relieved that Zhou Cang did not proclaim himself emperor.

"That's excellent." Sun Quan smiled sarcastically, and immediately had another idea. "Mr. Wang has worked hard all the way, so you might as well stay here for a few more days. The blueprint of the Longhushan Dojo has been drawn, please give me some pointers. In addition to conquering Cao Pi, although our army has many warships, but there are not enough horses, please tell the King of Political Affairs , I want to buy another batch of war horses to prepare for the Northern Expedition." Taking advantage of the harmony with Zhou Cang now, it is a little bit more to earn a little more.

Wang Can didn't know the little Jiujiu in Sun Quan's belly, but thought that what Sun Quan said made sense. "It's not difficult at this time, I will send someone back to meet the King of Political Affairs to express Wu Gong's intention."

Deputy envoy Mu Bei returned to Jinan, while Wang Can temporarily stayed in Jiankang.It has almost become a common practice for envoys to have a Jinyiwei as a deputy envoy. As for whether there are other Jinyiweis, it is unknown.

Wang Can stayed in Jiankang for less than three days when news came from Jingzhou that the big-eared thief Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu!
