The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258

The situation at this moment makes Zhou Yu very uncomfortable, so you can send troops.The teacher is unknown.King Jin and Liu Bei had personal grievances, and Cao Cao was a well-known national thief.There is no need to risk the lives of Jiangdong soldiers.Yuan Xi is very powerful, he claims to have an army of 300 million, and if he can avoid provoking him, he will not provoke him.

But if you don't fight, if Liu Bei is wiped out, Yuan Bing will take advantage of the momentum and go south to fight across the river and capture the six counties in Jiangdong.Thirdly, the Jiangdong soldiers went to fight Yuan Jun desperately. After the victory, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, these two bereaved dogs, will definitely take the opportunity to carve up the land of Jiangdong.At that time, it was even more embarrassing for King Wu to yell at a loss.

The best plan Zhou Yu made was to watch the fire from the other side, preferably Yuan, Liu, and Cao.The three families were all wounded, Yuan Jun was unable to go south, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's wings were broken, and Jiangdong sent troops to clean up the two families and divide the world equally with Yuan Jun.That's the best policy.As for eliminating the tyrannical Yuan Bing, Zhou Yu never even thought about it.That is impossible, at least in the past ten years, no one can do it.

So Zhou Yu and Sun Quan said: "The situation is still unclear at the moment. I advise the king to wait and see the changes and not act rashly. If you offend Jin, there will be endless troubles. Losing Liu Bei as an ally will also be a big loss to Jiangdong. Wait a minute, look at the two What is your attitude? What our army has to do now is to guard the city and send troops to defend Dajiang and Jiangxia Commanderies to prevent Yuan and Liu from annexing them."

Sun Quan also felt that what Zhou Yu said was reasonable, and ordered Zhou Yu to send troops to Sanjiangkou for defense.I also want to go to Chaisang.However, Kong Ming and Lu Su would not let him go at all.Haunted all day long, one let the troops out, and the other let him watch the battle.I'm bored to death.Lu Su came again on the third day, and said yes, King Jin said, in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, all the land south of Jingling was merged into Jiangxia County and ceded to Soochow.South of Jingling?There is almost a county with a land spanning hundreds of miles, with fertile wetlands that can be cultivated.Sun Quan was immediately tempted: "You really mean what King Jin said?"

Lu Su didn't mince words with him, and said straightforwardly: "The king of Jin ceded the land to the king of Wu for two reasons. One is to reassure the king. Yuan Jun's purpose is only in Jingxiang, and he will never get involved in Jiangxia and Jiangdong. Second, Jingling is close to Wulin, if troops are stationed here, it will definitely threaten Fankou and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. King Jin is willing to part with such a strategically important place, which shows that he has no intention of plotting Jiangdong, Your Majesty must learn from it."

Sun Quan had 1 wishes in his heart.But he still needs to seek the opinions of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu.He waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, I'll reply to you in a few days."

After Lu Su went out, Sun Quan immediately wrote a letter to Zhou Yu, explaining the situation, and sent it to Sanjiangkou.

Zhou Yu also welcomed a guest here.It was his elementary school classmate——Jiang Gan.Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu had a good relationship when they were young.Jiang Gan often copied Zhou Yu's homework, so he was exempted from the punishment of being a teacher.So I have always been very grateful to Zhou in my heart.

The two met and exchanged pleasantries, and Zhou Yu stretched his smiling face so that his chin could almost touch the ground: "Are you here to persuade you to surrender? If so, don't say anything. Leave immediately after drinking. I'm not interested in listening." .”

"Look, look, Xiao Zhou, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? My brother, what's the relationship? Leverage. I understand your temper-upright, loyal, and mighty Unyielding, poor and humble. How can I persuade you to surrender? I'm here to tell you what King Jin means."

Zhou Yu felt very relieved after listening to these flattering words from Jiang Gan. His elongated face retracted again, and he smiled and said, "I know, I know, Lao Jiang, you are not that kind of person. Tell me, what does King Jin want?" How about it?" Sun Quan is the king of Wu, so there is no need for Zhou Yu to be rude to Yuan Xi.It's all about relationships.

Jiang Gan said: "That's right, King Jin meant that he didn't come to fight King Wu. He came to settle accounts with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. You don't even know—" Jiang Gan looked around and lowered his voice, whispering: "Xiao Zhou, in fact, King Jin and Liu Bei have personal grievances."

Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said, "Nonsense, no one in the entire Han Dynasty knows that you, King Jin, have the audacity to rob Liu Bei's wife. I don't know. You underestimate the intelligence system of our Wu Kingdom too."

Jiang Gan smashed his mouth and said: "Oh, it's good to know. That's easier. This matter is like this. Jin Wang's side concubine, Mrs. Cai, is Cai Wenji. Liu Bei has failed in her before. Virtuous matter. Cai Wenji, still brooding on her heart, always blows pillow wind in the ear of King Jin. King Jin killed Zhang Fei and robbed Liu Bei's wife. Let me tell you, Xiao Zhou. The two of them The hatred is gone. Either you die, or I die-I mean, King Wu, there is no need to get into this muddy water. King Jin will not destroy Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will take revenge sooner or later. This is all a personal grudge, and there is no way things. Are you right?"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly: "He deserves it, Yuan Xi, the Sangong Sixth Courtyard is not good enough to harm his wife, so he can let him go." Jiang Gan waved his hand and said, "That matter has nothing to do with you, you know? What do you do? Do you know that it wasn’t Mrs. Gan who seduced King Jin?” Zhou Yu coughed and said, “What does Mrs. Gan look like?” Jiang Gan thought for a while: “I don’t know, I haven’t seen it—hey, how come I digressed. Then said, that The enmity between Cao Cao and the King of Jin never ceases—" Zhou Yu said: "I heard that the King of Jin ruined his daughter. Tell me, is there such a thing?" Jiang Gan's face was ugly: "You dammit Who ruined who? Who ruined whom? That was Cao Cao's trick for the King of Jin. Unexpectedly, the King of Jin saw through it. I lost my wife and lost my army. Can you blame Jin Wang Qiansui?"

When Zhou Yu heard it, it's fine, Jiang Gan, you fucking, you are really Yuan Xi's loyal minister, and you don't want to say a word.

Jiang Gandao: "Anyway, Cao Cao hated the King of Jin. There is another reason. I know how Cao Cao's son died. He was killed by Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu is in Jin State at the moment. It is still King Jin's son. Love general. Two days ago, Cao Cao asked the King of Jin to kill Zhang Xiu, but the King of Jin was unwilling. So the conflict between the two deepened. They are different. These are all personal grievances. You said, King Wu got involved. What's the meaning?"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "Wu Wang didn't say that he would get involved, and he never said so. However, Jin Wang led an army of millions to the south, who knows what he has in mind. If you are like this, how long will you stay here?" My God, I will discuss it with the King of Wu and give you an answer."

After Zhou Yu said it, he forgot about Jiang Gan. He was too busy. Jiang Gan lived in the barracks for more than ten days. It wasn't until Sun Quan's letter arrived that Zhou Yu read it, and then he remembered Jiang Gan: "Quick, Bring me Mr. Jiang Gan."

"Xiao Zhou, what do you mean by this? How did you think about what I told you last time?"

Zhou Yu said to Jiang Gan: "Tell me the truth, the King of Jin really has no intention of sending troops to Jiangdong?" Go back again, that’s fine." Zhou Yu said with a bitter face: "I'm not talking about you, isn't it a bit too much for you to eat more than 30 dishes in one meal?" Jiang Gan said disdainfully: "You are a big governor, aren't you You can’t even manage food, right?” Zhou Yu had already made up his mind at this time; “Okay, you can stay here for a few days.”

Then Zhou Yu wrote a letter to Sun Quan, thinking that Liu Feng and Guan Ping should be persuaded to leave first.This is a kind of temptation. If Liu Feng and Guan Ping leave, it means that Liu Bei has no intention of plotting against Jiang Xia.If the two of them insist on not leaving, that's fine, Liu Bei must be playing Jiang Xia's idea, without saying anything, he broke with Liu Bei.

What kind of roles are Liu Feng and Guan Ping?

Kan Ze, the envoy sent by Zhou Yu, slapped Liu Feng twice before he could clearly explain his purpose.His eyes were starred, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.Liu Feng cursed: "Zhou Yu of the dog day, you go back and tell him that as long as I, Liu Feng, are here for a day, he will never have any idea about Jingling, what. Get out, don't let me see you, or I will cut you alive .”

Kan Ze is also a figure in Soochow, where he was insulted like this and was furious.When I got back, I described it to Zhou Yu in a more eloquent way.Said: "Liu Feng is too arrogant. It's not worth mentioning that he greeted the ancestors of the governor one by one. He also threatened that sooner or later he would kill Soochow and want——to occupy the wife of the governor—"

"Bastard, Liu Feng is hateful. It seems that Liu Bei really has the ambition to plot against Jiangxia. Pass on my general order and order the soldiers of Han Dang and Zhou Tai in Wulin to capture Jingling immediately. Remember to capture Liu Feng alive and don't form a deadly feud with Liu Bei." .”

After Kan Ze came out, he thought, things are not easy to handle, if you say capture him alive, what if Liu Feng dies in the chaos.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai are both top-ranking famous generals in Soochow. Not only are their martial arts unrivaled, but their tactics are also top-notch. Han Dang once repelled Wei Wendi Cao Pi's army alone, and he is really a general with both civil and military skills.It is more than ten times better than the two little things Liu Feng and Guan Ping.On the third day, the good news came that Jingling had been conquered, Liu Feng died among the rebels, and Guan Ping was wounded and fled.

Man, what a mixed blessing.Conquering Jingling is a good thing, but Liu Fengqiao's death is not so good.Sun Quan got the news almost at the same time and thought, this is good, there is no room for change.He and Liu Bei are completely grudges.

Zhuge Liang also got the news later.He is not worried about Liu Feng's death, he is more angry with Liu Bei, there is no use in occupying Jingling.Don't rush to give up to Soochow, that's good, it's out of control.

Zhuge Liang immediately went to see Sun Quan and said, "King Wu doesn't need to blame himself. Liu Feng deserves his own death. Liu Feng was not the emperor's uncle's own son. If he disobeyed and died today, no one else is to blame." Sun Quan wondered; Disobedient?" Zhuge Liang said casually: "Actually, the emperor's uncle had already ordered to cede Jingling to Soochow, but Liu Feng didn't retreat, and today's catastrophe happened. King Wu needn't be sad."

Sun Quan said in his heart, I'm so sad, it's too late for me to be happy.

Kong Ming wanted to say more, just in time, Lu Su also walked in.The two looked at each other for a long time before Sun Quan introduced him.So a debate broke out between the two.

In 211 AD, in January of the 16th year of Jian'an.This year, Lu Su happened to be 40 years old, Zhuge Liang was 31 years old, Sun Quan was 30 years old, Zhou Yu was 37 years old, Liu Bei was 51 years old, Yuan Xi was 31 years old, and Cao Cao was already 57 years old.

Zhuge Liang had known for a long time that Yuan Xi's Marquis of Hefei, Lusu, had gone to Jiangdong to lobby Sun Quan.Zhuge Liang also knew that Lu Su was a powerful character, and wanted to meet him, but Sun Quan refused.

Finally saw it today.

Zhuge Liang, with a feather fan and a scarf, stood up from his seat in a chic and magnanimous manner, and bowed to salute: "So it's Mr. Hou Zijing from Hefei, polite, polite."

Lu Su also admired Kong Ming very much, and the two greeted each other.Zhuge Liang provocatively said: "Your Majesty is here to surrender to the King of Wu?" Lu Su is a loyal elder without so much flirtatiousness, and said with a smile: "No, Su is following the order of the King of Jin to persuade the King of Wu. Don't get involved in the battle between Uncle Liu Huang and King Jin."

Zhuge Liang's feather fan pointed: "Zi Jing's words are different. Yuan Xi is a national traitor, why do you help him?" Lu Su is an outstanding politician, and the theory of national traitors does not work for him. The reason, he knows better than anyone else.He is not a loyal person.Hastily waved his hands and said: "Kong Ming is on the wrong side. The king of Jin ascended the throne as a young man. He helped the south and suppressed the north, persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberry fields, and developed the economy. He has made outstanding achievements. He is really a young hero. It has nothing to do with national thieves." Zhuge Liang has his opinion: " I heard that Yuan Xi killed his father and brother, and imprisoned his elder brother. He is lustful and prostitute. He has three thousand concubines. Moreover, he is cruel and lawless, and he connives at the soldiers' looting. In the battle of Fucheng, more than ten million residents of Shu were harmed. Such a person is also worthy of being called the Ming Lord?"

Lu Su refuted one by one: "The so-called killing father and brother is nothing. Yuan Shaogong was murdered by the eldest son Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan deserved what he deserved, so he was imprisoned. Yuan Shang committed suicide and died. All children in Jizhou know it. I hate it, all the emperors in ancient times have been like this, which is not enough to explain the problem. The theory of sex is even more ridiculous. Your Lord Liu Yuzhou abandoned his wife three times. Why not.

I have never heard of three thousand concubines, only four or five.It can be regarded as reserved.As for conniving soldiers to plunder.The subjects of the world know how Yuan Bing's army is.Otherwise, no, when you arrive at a city, there will be people lining up to welcome you.There was a reason for the battle in Fucheng. Wen Chou sent troops to plunder. The king of Jin was very responsible and exempted him from his salary for one year.What Kong Ming said is not credible. "Zhuge Liang said: "Strong words rob reason, strong words rob reason."Here I have a copy of His Majesty's imperial edict, explaining that Yuan Xi, who oppresses the Holy Majesty, commits all kinds of crimes, is really a national traitor. "

Lu Su was speechless: "The clothes belt edict is a fake, it is a false imperial decree, and it has already been rectified."

Zhuge Liang gained the upper hand and said with a smile: "What is Zijing's opinion on the current situation in Jiangnan?" Lu Su said: "There is nothing in Jiangnan. The King of Jin's intention lies in Jiangbei, not Jiangnan."

Zhuge Liang said with a sneer: "Yuan Xi is very ambitious. Three of the Han Dynasty is divided into four parts. He must want to sweep the world. What do you mean by unintentional Jiangnan?"

Lu Su said: "The veterans are exhausted and unable to fight again. The King of Jin destroyed Liu Bei, and immediately turned back, raised his troops and rested his horses, and never returned. The value of a man is contentment, and the King of Jin has this quality."

Zhuge Liang spoke sharply, and said angrily, "The general is the prime minister, and the prime minister is the king of Jin. Is this so-called contentment and happiness? Then, after the king of Jin, do you want to be called emperor?"

Lu Su laughed: "Then what do you mean, King Wu is also going to proclaim himself emperor and rebel."

"No, I don't, I'm loyal to His Majesty, don't talk nonsense." Sun Quan blushed and yelled.

Kong Ming suffered a secret loss and refused to let go: "Yuan Xi attacked Jiangling, and then he would attack Jiangxia, right?" Lu Su said: "As we all know, Danyang and Hefei Shouchun belong to Yangzhou, but they are separated by a river. From Danyang The key point to attack Hefei is the city of Wan. Now, the king of Jin ceded the city of Wan and the nest to the king of Wu. It is equivalent to handing over the entire Ruxukou, and our army has lost the advantage of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. How can we plot Jiangdong?"

Kong Ming laughed and said: "Let me ask you, Cao Cao and Liu Shijun have a combined force of only 20 troops. It is necessary for Jin Wang Qiansui to mobilize the army, 300 million troops to attack, isn't it plotting Jiangdong? What is it? Gan Ning is here Shu built hundreds of warships, isn’t it for water warfare on the Yangtze River?”

Sun Quan was a little moved.

Lu Su quickly explained: "Baidi City, on the front line of Kuiguan, is entrenched with Cao soldiers. If you don't use the navy, you can still swim there. As for the 300 million army, there is absolutely no such thing, but there are 60." Where there was a mistake, at the beginning, it should not be bluffing to scare Sun Quan.It should not show the strength of preservation.

Sun Quan's biggest concern was Yuan Jun's strength. Now that Lu Su said this, his whole heart was relieved. "That's how it is, that's why—"

Zhuge Liang said: "King of Wu, don't listen to Yuan Xi's rhetoric. If Liu Shijun is defeated, Soochow will be in danger. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Sun Quan had already made up his mind, and immediately rolled his eyes: "The king of Jin has sworn a poisonous oath in the letter that he will not plot Jiangdong. Stop talking nonsense. Besides, you don't know the relationship between the widow and the king of Jin. The widow and King Jin have known each other for more than ten years, it is impossible for him to have plans for me."

When Zhuge Liang heard it, it was over. Sun Quan was timid and suspicious at first, then greedy for profit, but now he was satisfied and completely relieved of Yuan Jun.Even the matter of Wu's resistance to Cao is completely useless.

When Kong Ming was angry, someone came to report: "Military Master, my lord, please return to Jiangling quickly. Yuan soldiers have already started attacking the city from all directions, and our army is about to be overwhelmed."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback: "Hurry up, prepare the boat and go back to Jiangling." Zhuge Liang never thought that Yuan Xi had no intention of being interested in Soochow.What's more, Yuan Xi, a young and energetic man, didn't take advantage of this million-strong army to show off his power to Sun Quan, which was tantamount to complicating the affairs of the Sun-Liu alliance.
