Chapter 382: Promotion to Sun Quan
Chapter 382
"Xun Yu is willing to follow the work of the main dog and horse from now on......" Xun Yu said very lightly, but Liu Cong heard a deafening feeling! For many years, since he came to this era, Liu Cong has been paying attention to Xun Yu. If he hadn't known that Xun Yu would eventually break with Cao Cao, he was afraid that he would be killed like assassinating Jia Xu at that time!
This prodigy who was called "my son's room" by Cao Cao actually called himself the lord! It's really like a tiger with wings, this prime minister's mansion already has Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others, and now Xun Yu is honest and obedient, and Liu Cong's confidence in pacifying the world has increased greatly. The beard was aware of his situation, Liu Cong paused, then bypassed the desk, and then quickly stepped forward to help Xun Yu up: "Sir, please get up, please get up!" ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Xun Yu obviously felt that Liu Cong's hands were stretched out and a little trembling when he helped him up, and at this moment he felt that Liu Cong valued him! It turns out that in his heart, am I really that important? Xun Yu even saw a rare surprise in Liu Cong's eyes! Such a surprise was even stronger than when Cao Cao saw him!
"With Mr. to help me, the day when the Han family will reorganize the superstructure will not be far away. Ha ha...... Liaohua, Liaohua! Liu Cong held Xun Yu and shouted out the door.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Liao Hua hurriedly ran in and saw that the two were very close, and he was very puzzled, and then looked at Liu Cong. These two old rivals muttered in the room for a long time, how could it only be a moment. The lord was so happy.
"Pass the order, the prime minister will hold a banquet tonight to entertain the ministers!"
"Huh? So what's going on? ”
"Go! Let Kong Ming do it himself! ”
"Oh." Liao Hua nodded a little puzzled and went out to find Zhuge Liang.
"Sir, please be seated, you see that I can get the help of Mr. It's a bit of a gaffe...... I hope Mr. don't laugh! ”
"The lord has had a lot of happy events recently, so he should be big-eyed and his ministers to boost morale!" Xun Yu was not shocked, and slowly returned to his position at the moment: "Lord, Xun Yu has been in Xiangyang for two years, and now I hear that the lord is about to go east, I don't know how the lord planned it, please make it clear, Yu can also help one or two!" ”
"It's nature!" Liu Cong has been looking forward to Xun Yu's return to obedience, but he has been looking forward to it for several years. This time, I also wanted to completely solve Xun Yu's problem before the Eastern Crusade, but I didn't expect things to go surprisingly well! think
At that time, Xun Yu was strategically formulated and planned a blueprint and military route for Cao Cao to unify the north, and repeatedly revised Cao Cao's strategic policy and was appreciated by Cao Cao, including persuading Cao Cao to welcome the Han Emperor to Xuchang and "coerce the Son of Heaven"; In terms of tactics, he faced Lu Bu's rebellion and protected the three cities of Yanzhou, plotted to strangle Yuan Shao in Guandu, and made many achievements such as narrowly advancing from Wan and Ye to cover his surprise attack on Jingzhou.
Liu Cong wants to go east to conquer such a big event, so he naturally wants to hear about Xun Yu's one! At present, he talked to Xun Yu about the strategy he had previously planned with Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others.
After listening to Liu Cong's narration, Xun Yu also praised again and again: "The lord is wise, Kong Ming and Xiaozhi are also talented." In this way, this Jiangdong will soon be under the control of our Han Dynasty. However, can you ......"
"Feasible! Feasible! I didn't expect Mr. to pay so much attention to Koto affairs. In this way, Jiangdong will definitely fall into comprehensive chaos, and our army will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if it attacks again...... "Liu Cong also didn't expect that although Xun Yu has been fighting against him in the past two years, he also knows the general trend of the world, especially Jiangdong, who is about to become a soldier. I also know a lot about the divisive plan I have implemented in Koto during this time, and the camera has put forward its own profile! 、
It seems that these strategists usually have their own channels for gathering information. It's normal to say, the so-called best know that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles! The strategists either formulated a strategy for the lord to secure the country, or provided the generals with a golden wolf strategy to defeat the enemy on the battlefield. If you don't know much about the enemy, you will inevitably be suspected of doing things behind closed doors.
Now what Xun Yu mentioned, Liu Cong also thought of it, but it was not so in-depth and specific! It seems that this Xun Yu came prepared, and since he decided to submit to Liu Cong, he naturally can't be underestimated by Liu Cong. Now Liu Cong's account may not lack the most important thing is the strategist. Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Xu Shu...... plus the newly returned Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun. Xun Yu naturally has his own yes, so he took advantage of the fact that Liu Cong did not summon the ministers to hold a feast before he explained this strategy and plan to pacify Jiangdong.
Liu Cong was naturally overjoyed when he heard it! No matter what the final effect of this strategy is, at least from the current point of view, this Xun Yu is thoughtful and honest, which is more important than anything else. That night, Liu Cong held a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the name was, of course, to welcome the newcomers to join. Xun Yu, Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun such a luxurious lineup, not to mention Ma Chao, Sun Quan and others, even if Cao Cao is afraid of it, he will be moved! So Liu Cong has a reason to celebrate. Of course, the most important thing is to release a few signals to the civil and military officials of the Xiangyang Imperial Court!
First of all, Xun Yu, who has always been against the prime minister, finally chose to join. And the celebration banquet, in addition to the emperor, the number of civil and military ministers came, and they had one thing in common, that was the person of Liu Cong, the prime minister of the city! There is also to take this opportunity to boost morale, and the eastward crusade is about to begin, and these wise men from all over the world come to vote, which can better explain Liu Cong's prestige!
It was also from this banquet that Liu Cong was the curtain of Kalai's conquest of Jiangdong. Starting the day after the banquet, Liu Cong dispatched troops everywhere! And the most important of these is to meet Zhuge Jin. This Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, and naturally according to the family, he is also Liu Cong's eldest brother. Of course, the most important thing is Zhuge Jin's familiarity with Jiangdong. Lu Xun stayed in Wuchang to recuperate from his injuries, and Zhuge Jin was another major source of information for Liu Cong.
Three days later, the prime minister came to a special guest, he was Liu Shang of Wuchang Ling. The third son of the former Yuzhang Taishou Liu Yao! Wuchang is an emerging county seat, and it is also a key county town close to Chaisang. A long time ago, Wuchang began to collect grain and grass for the Eastern Crusade. A large number of warships have been built at the same time! Liu Shang came this time and wanted Liu Cong to inform him about the relevant matters. But after he sat down, Liu Cong handed him an edict, and Liu Shang was confused after reading it.
Although this Liu Shang is smart, he is still young in the end, and it is clearly written in this edict that in recognition of Sun's attacks in Jiangdong over the years, the imperial court promoted Sun Quan to be a lieutenant, and Keri went to work. This Sun Quan was originally a general of chariots and cavalry, and Zhang Zhao was a military advisor to govern Jiangdong for the imperial court. But this was six years ago. At that time, in order to stabilize Sun Quan, Cao Cao concentrated on conquering Jingzhou, and was promoted from a miscellaneous general to a rebel general. Now Liu Cong is painting gourds like this! Sun Quan, don't you still recognize the imperial court? Then accept the appointment, Captain, that is one of the three princes who are second only to the prime minister in charge of the military power of the whole country!
However, when I saw this edict, I immediately understood that the prime minister was going to make a move on Jiangdong, and this was making excuses! Let Sun Quan disobey the order, and then he can tear his face and attack. It's just that what I didn't expect was that there was myself on this edict. It turned out that this edict involved several people in total. After Sun Quan was promoted, he was vacant. Liu Cong let Zhang Zhao take over the history of Yangzhou Assassin, and Buqi is still the history of Jiaozhou. If such an arrangement is in peacetime, it is understandable, and it can even be said to be a great compliment to Sun Quan.
But now the blind can see that Liu Cong is using the name of the imperial court to set up Sun Quan and provoke the relationship between Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao, Buqi and others. This is not the end of the calculation, followed by the list of personnel of each county guard. Among them, Wujun is too shou Xu Ming, Huiji is too shou Gu Yong, Lujiang is too shou Zhuge Jin, Danyang is too guarded, and Yuzhang is too shou Liu Shang! With such a list, it would be strange if Sun Quan didn't get angry and half dead when he saw it! If Gu Yong is still his own person, then Zhuge Jin will be tomorrow, and he will already be Liu Cong's person. And who Liu Shang is, I'm afraid that Sun Quan won't be able to remember. If he knew that the son of Xuchang was still alive, and had been engaged in espionage activities in Danyang and Wujun as Bu Liuming, and now he had become Xu Ming, and he was about to become the Taishou?
Liu Cong also thought about this list of one thousand, but the specific one was provided by Xun Yu, and Xun Yu originally proposed to directly use Lu Xun as the Taishou of Lujiang. Considering that this edict was just a piece of waste paper in the end, in order to protect Lu Xun and his people, Liu Cong did not add Lu Xun to it.
But even so, it is impossible for Sun Quan to accept it! His family business in Jiangdong was brought down by his father and brother, so why should he be at the mercy of the imperial court? Of course, Liu Cong never thought that Sun Quan would accept such an arrangement. He just needs an excuse to go to war! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! If Sun Quan refuses, it will be a great rebellion! As the prime minister, Liu Cong naturally had to clean up Sun Quan for the imperial court.
"Prime Minister, this is the number of the scheme. As soon as this edict arrives in Jiangdong, Sun Quan will definitely be like thunder. In this way, the prime minister can march eastward with a large army. Not yet, I beg the prime minister to allow me to follow the vanguard into Jiangdong! "This Liu Shang grew up in Jiangdong since he was a child, and now he was picked up by Liu Cong from Nanchang, and he also made the Wuchang County Order, although this Yuzhang Taishou is empty, but Liu Shang naturally knows gratitude.
"Fighting a war is a matter for generals, and you don't want to be reckless as a scholar." Liu Cong said with a smile: "Now I have only one or two survivors of the Liu clan......
"Prime Minister, Shang grew up in Jiangdong since he was a child, and was robbed of his family business by the Sun family, and now that the Prime Minister is on a crusade, how can Shang miss such a good opportunity. I don't want to make a contribution, but I want to be able to see the fall of the Sun clan with my own eyes! ”
"But the battlefield is too dangerous, your eldest brother has died......" Liu Cong seemed to be relieved, but he still looked at Liu Shang very hesitantly.
"The eldest husband is in troubled times, if he is afraid of danger, it is better to hide on the women's embroidery floor, and come out to show his face, and please do it!"
"If you really want to make a contribution, there is a more dangerous thing here, I don't know ......"
"But by the Prime Minister's orders!"
Liu Cong waved his hand to Liao Hua in the distance, and then someone was holding an official robe and a seal box! Liu Shang took it from the attendant's hand, looked at it, and then looked at Liu Cong. Liu Cong still kept smiling: "Do you dare to take the seal ribbon to Nanchang to take up the post?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Liu Shang immediately understood that this Liu Cong mentioned himself in the edict to Sun Quan, and was promoted to Yuzhang Taishou. Originally, I could think that it was just Liu Cong's clever name and angered Sun Quan. Unexpectedly, he even prepared his official robe and seal. It is indeed more dangerous to go to Nanchang than to follow the vanguard troops, but Liu Shang swore before, and he was willing to back down after this meeting.
