Chapter 418 The Emperor Dies

"Have you all heard? On the day of the Yuedan Review in Chengdu, the head of the state, Dong Cheng, failed to assassinate Prime Minister Cao. As a result, His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated and died. Cao Cao dared to attack His Majesty. Such a rebellious person, our new Jingzhou Inspector And have a good relationship with him."

"What? Your Majesty is dead! My God, where did you hear that, if you say something wrong, it is a serious crime of beheading. And even if His Majesty is dead, how can you talk about it so easily?"

In Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, the people's livelihood is boiling, and they have begun to discuss Dong Cheng's assassination of Cao Cao and the assassination of His Majesty.

Even if Jingzhou is like this, one can imagine how far the northern Central Plains will go.

In the Governor's Mansion of Jingzhou, Zhang Fei led his troops to block the inside and outside, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.There were only Guan Yu, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei in the hall, as well as Liu Bei's two confidantes, Sun Qian and Jian Yong.

"My lord, please don't be sad anymore. After all, your body is important. Now that His Majesty has been assassinated, I think Cao Cao is the most suspect. But if we attack Cao Cao immediately, I am afraid that Han Wu will take advantage of it." Xu Shu told Liu Bei Hand in hand to persuade him not to be sad anymore.

Only then did Liu Bei stop crying. It was really embarrassing for a big man to cry in front of others.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and said: "Yuan Zhi is good at leading troops to fight, but this conspiracy is not as good. People's hearts are tricky. Since this matter is beneficial to Han Wu, the person who assassinated His Majesty is basically Han Wu. Han Wu Now that the world is in a state of stability, he can't wait. What's more, he heard that His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated yesterday, and Cao Cao will inevitably block the news of Chengdu. Why did the news spread all over Xiangyang City in just one day, and they were all right. Unfavorable news for Cao Cao? Han Wu is a ruthless and decisive person who sent assassins to murder His Majesty. He is a traitor, and his heart can be punished!"

Both Liu Bei and Xu Shu suddenly realized that this assassination must have something to do with Han Wu.

"In that case, then I will send someone to write a document to announce to the world, displaying Han Wu's bad deeds!" Liu Bei said with wide eyes and righteous words.

After Xu Shu calmed down, he shook his head and said, "My lord, it's getting darker and darker in this way. This time it's not a big event passed on by the people, but a silent battle. The mantis catching the cicada and the oriole are behind. However, the assassins sent by Han Wu waited until Dong Cheng assassinated Cao Cao, so Cao Cao’s charges would not be cleared. Not to mention other things, now His Majesty has no heirs, and Dong Guiren and Empress Fu are pregnant, which will not help.”

Zhuge Liang snorted softly: "For Cao Cao and Han Wu, it doesn't matter whether they are pregnant or not! Moreover, for them, Dong Guiren and Empress Fu are the sons of dragons! Even the princesses are dragon sons!"

"Newborn children are easy to find. Since they dare to assassinate His Majesty, what is there that Han Wu can't do? But Cao Cao's reputation can't be ruined. In the name of Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, he announced to the whole Jingzhou that Han Wu sent assassins Assassinate His Majesty the Emperor!" Liu Bei immediately ordered Jian Yong and Sun Qian to write the notice here.

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were also a little helpless. After all, this kind of public opinion has basically never existed in history, and there is no corresponding military tactics.

But Han Wu is quite aware of the dangers of public opinion, and now he is waiting for Liu Bei and Cao Cao to stand up and "frame" him, so that their descriptions will become darker and darker.At that time, Han Wu will carry out the next step of the plan to frame the blame, and the will of the people in the world will be determined.

On a coast in the south of the Jiangdong region, eight thousand elite naval forces landed, led by Qi Jiguang.The military adviser was naturally Guo Jia, and he raided the hinterland of Jiangdong on time according to the time planned with the lord.

Since Tian Feng returned to Jizhou to return to his command, the defenders on Hainan Island did not send troops as planned, but only sent warships to ensure that Guo Jia's plan would fail and there would be a place to retreat.

"General Qi Jiguang temporarily subdued the mountain people with money, and let the mountain refugees attack Yuzhang and Nanjun. General Qi Jiguang personally led an army of [-] to attack Moling, and asked his deputy to lead [-] soldiers to attack Moling. As a result, the three counties in the east of the Yangtze River can be conquered in a short time, except for Qu A. It is far away from Changsha. We have no support this time, so we cannot go deep alone. Qu A has Zhou Yu's main force, and I will personally guard Moling. Zhou Yu His family is in Moling, so he dare not act rashly. Next, it depends on Chen Gong's choice!" Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, he believed that Chen Gong would definitely make the right choice.

three days later

In the Changsha mansion, Sun Quan was so frightened and trembling that he couldn't figure out why there were ten thousand Jizhou troops suddenly appearing in the mountain.Moreover, Yuzhang, Poyang, and Moling were conquered in just three days, even Kuaiji and Wu Jun could not be guaranteed.

Of the nine counties in the east of the Yangtze River, four of them could be lost within ten days, and people must be in panic.Coupled with the instigation of the Mountain Rebellion, the Jizhou Army has grown from an army of 3000 people to [-]!And those three thousand mountains are all people who are good at fighting. If you give them weapons and leather armor, they can display extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang rushed to the prefect's mansion to discuss how to deal with the matter.

Zhang Hong narrowed his eyes and said, "My lord, why don't you surrender to Han Wu first, at least it will make people's hearts turn around. The rebellion of the mountain people is more terrifying than the eight thousand Jizhou elites. We must first solve the mountain rebellion."

"No! Within three days, half of Jiangdong's apprentices were captured by the Jizhou army, which is enough to show that the people who lead the troops are well versed in the art of war! We will not succeed in dealing with the mountain rebellion in front of such an enemy." Lu Su squinted his eyes and retorted In one fell swoop.

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Ling Tong and Gan Ning withdrew their troops in time, and retreated as an advance. After uniting their forces, they will be able to stop the Jizhou army in Yuzhang for more than a month. Qu'a is the main force of Zhou Yu's army. My lord, just give Lu Bu enough benefits." , let him stand still, we can trap the Jizhou Legion to death in Jiangdong! They are nothing more than a surprise attack from the sea, absolutely no food, and starve to death after a month, what else can they do?"

As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Lu Meng hurried in and shouted: "Check it out! The Jizhou army came from the sea. There is an island overseas with a huge area that can raise [-] troops. The person who led the army to attack Jiangdong is... Guo Guo Jia! It’s Guo Jia, the advisor next to Han Wu! The general who attacked Jiangdong this time was Qi Jiguang, and it was he who wiped out Gongsun Zan’s rear and Yuan Shu’s rear.”

When Lu Meng said this, everyone was shocked.Especially Zhang Hong and Han Dang, they almost thought the situation was over.

Guo Jia is Han Wu's most trusted counselor, and Qi Jiguang is the admiral of the navy.Such a combination of two people, coupled with the mountain rebellion, this is a big crisis!
And before Lu Meng finished speaking, he immediately said: "My lord, the worst thing is yet to come! The news from Chengdu just arrived this morning. His Majesty was assassinated by an assassin and died. The general Hushi announced to the world that the lord sent an assassin to murder His Majesty." , That's why we sent troops to raid Jiangdong!"

"Absurd! Han Wu, Han Pengju! Your Majesty is dead? That's what he did, he did it to destroy me, Jiangdong!" Sun Quan, who had been silent all this time, finally exploded. He roared hysterically, gritted his teeth and pounded on the table.

Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao also narrowed their eyes, they thought what Sun Quan said was very reasonable.But now hearing that His Majesty was assassinated, this matter is really quite shocking.
