Zhang Wu for three years

The soldiers and horses of the entire Yizhou began to be mobilized, and the grain and grass were led by Huang Quan first. Huang Quan led the army to Ba County, mobilized grain and grass, and went out of Yizhou.

In Chengdu, a notice of the battle has been posted, and the people have heard it, and the city has discussed it.

The movement of Shu Han's troops naturally spread throughout the states, and the armies of Sun and Cao had their own movements.

In the palace

"Jiangdong envoy Zhuge Jin, please enter!" With an order, Zhuge Jin, who came from Jiangdong, came to see Liu Bei and showed him as a courtesy.

Liu Bei sat down and learned that this person was here to persuade the war. With a displeased face, he asked, "Ziyu is here from afar, why are you doing it?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Your Majesty has been in charge of your brother for a long time, so the minister does not avoid the axe. Let's play two things. First, in the previous incident of Jingzhou, Governor Lü Meng had a grudge against Guan Yunchang, and after taking Jingzhou again, killing him was not the original intention of our army. The former lord Sun Zhongmou had already said that he should not harm Yun Chang. However, Lu Meng was eager to avenge the governor of Zhou, so he did not listen to the lord's order. Afterwards, Lu Meng was also punished by the Lord's army and 'died of illness'. ”

"Second, the death of the third brother Yide is not my Jiangdong's fault, but Cao Wei's fault. When Zhang Fei was escorted there, he had already been poisoned, and he died of poison not long after. His body has been sent back to Chengdu by our army, which can be confirmed by autopsy. My brother Kong is all fine in the world, and he is also a master of poisoning, so he can distinguish it. ”

Liu Bei shouted angrily, "Ru Jiangdong harmed my brother, and now I can't send you here!" Lu Meng's death is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Yide's death, how do you know that you didn't deliberately kill and blame Cao Weihu? ”

Zhuge Jin said again: "Why did my Jiangdong do this calamity? Wan Ke kept Zhang Fei alive to restrict His Majesty's actions. Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he will definitely not dare to fight for Zhang Fei. His Majesty is the imperial uncle of the Han family, and now that the Han Dynasty has been taken by Cao Pi, we are working together to conspire with Cao Wei to restore the rivers and mountains. Why bother to fight Jiangdong, both sides will lose. ”

Liu Bei said angrily, "If I don't avenge the murder of my brother, and I still unite with the Rusun army, won't the people of the world shamefully laugh at me for being an ungrateful person!" Let you go back today, for the sake of the prime minister. ”

Zhuge Jin couldn't, went out of the palace, and wanted to return to Jiangdong.

I was outside the palace when I heard a shout, "Brother, can it be done?" ”

Zhuge Jin looked back, it was his brother Kong Ming.

"Your Majesty, you are about to attack my Jiangdong, but you can't persuade it." Zhuge Jin sighed.

Kong Ming smiled, "Brother, don't go back, it's better to stay in Yizhou." I will send someone to pick it up for you and ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Zhuge Jin smiled back, "Brother Ke remembers that when I came to Jiangdong, you didn't want to stay back then, and I naturally don't want to do it today." Brother Xuande, righteousness has no two hearts. I am from Jiangdong, and I have no rebellion. ”

Kong Ming smiled: "Brother, what you said, my brother already knows. It's better to go to my house and talk about the old feelings. ”

Zhuge Jin refused: "No, it's no longer possible, I urgently need to go back to Jiangdong and report back to the lord to prepare." ”

"Then it's not far away, brother has a safe journey." Kong Ming worshipped him.

The two said goodbye.

Liu Bei summoned his ministers and discussed preparing to send troops.

Everyone knew that they could no longer stop it, so they had to do their best.

"In the land of Hanzhong, in the three counties, there is a general guarding the town, and I am not worried. You can leave an army in Bajun to help, you can go to Hanzhong before, and you can help behind the army. ”

"It's just that after I left, the area around Shu County was a little uneasy. In Wuling, the Wuxi barbarians are afraid of rebellion, and the land of the Southern Barbarians is also afraid of chaos. In order to report the stability of the rear, Kong Ming, I want you to guard here, and all matters will be handed over to you. Can? Liu Bei said.

Kong Ming remembered that the general had told him that he would go on the expedition with the army, and he agreed. But now that the situation has changed, I am afraid that it will not be able to follow suit. "Your Majesty is relieved, I am in Chengdu, everything is worry-free."

Liu Bei was happy, "With the words of the prime minister, I have no worries." ”

Kong Ming said again: "In Wuximan's place, you can recruit King Anhu and help with the soldiers." Now that we are going to war, we have to hold on, and our troops are in great need. The Wuxi barbarians are all strong and brave, and they can help. ”

Liu Bei nodded, "I'll let people go with Jinjin, give him an official position, and recruit Shamoke, the king of Hu, to help." ”

Jiangdong, Jianye

As for Zhuge Jin going to Yizhou, there have always been rumors about Zhuge Jin's defection, but Sun Deng didn't care at all and waited for news from him.

Finally waiting for his return, "How is Ziyu?" Sun Deng asked urgently.

Zhuge Jin sighed, "There is nothing to be done, Liu Bei is bound to fight." ”

Sun Deng soothed: "It was expected, Ziyu traveled far away and worked hard all the way. Let's go back and rest, and I ask the rest of us what to do. ”

Zhuge Jin retreated, and Sun Deng summoned the rest of the ministers.

Doctor Zhao Zhi said: "I have a plan to solve the crisis!" ”

Sun Deng asked, "What is Dedu's strategy?" ”

Zhao Shiyan: "I am willing to make a trip to Cao Wei and Xudu, and explain his interests to Cao Pi, so that he can attack Shu Han and the crisis of Shu soldiers, and naturally solve the problem." ”

Sun Deng asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Shiyan: "I also hope that the lord will be a minister to Cao Pi and write a table." Cao Pi is a good person, and when he learned that Jiangdong surrendered, he was naturally happy. Knowing the stakes, he was naturally willing to send troops. ”

When these words came out, many ministers angrily scolded Zhao Shi, "This is the injustice of the Lord!" Cao Pi plotted to usurp the throne, and the world knows that how can the lord be a minister to such a person! ”

"That's it! Zhao Zhi, are you Cao Wei's spies! ”

Sun Deng smiled, "Everyone, calm down, what Dedu said, I think it is okay." Now that the Jiangdong crisis, if it can be saved, the name of the district is not damaged. ”

Zhang Zhao said at this time: "Since this is the case, it is better to establish a country." On the grounds of the vassal states, it is more reasonable to rely on Cao Wei, and it does not lose the weather of Jiangdong. ”

Zhao Zhiying, "What Zhang Gong said is that the Han family is long gone. In the hearts of the people, there is already an expectation. Why can't you build a country, everyone can be Yao Shun! ”

When the words came out, the ministers asked Sun Deng to establish the country and ascend the throne in order to protect the hearts of the people in Jiangdong and give them what they wanted.

Sun Deng was surprised for a while, and he couldn't be present with the important ministers of Jiangdong, so he had to obey the order.

Xu Du

Cao Pi learned that Jiangdong was established and the country was named Wu. I was not surprised, thinking that the other party should have done this a long time ago. It seems that he is still a little less courageous, and he will not dare to engage in it until Cao Liu is called emperor.

"Your Majesty, Jiangdong envoy Zhao Shi came to see him, and he said that it was a matter of being a minister!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he was surprised and delighted, "It seems that this Sun Deng is timid and knows what to do is right." Let him in! ”

Zhao Zhi entered to see Cao Pi, worshiped him, and claimed to be a minister.

Cao Pi looked at Sun Deng's table, and said the words of surrender, willing to pay tribute every year for the subject country.

Cao Pi said with a smile: "Aren't we just sending troops to Shu Han for me to solve the crisis in Jiangdong?" ”

Zhao Shi replied with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is not good, this is not only the danger of Jiangdong, but also the danger of Great Wei. ”

Zhao Zhi told Cao Pi about his interests and disadvantages, and he was also discerning about Cao Pi's questions. Among them, Cao Pi was very happy to hear it.

Cao Pi said: "The public is the envoy, and he can be his responsibility." High number Sun Deng, I accept its surrender. ”

Zhao Shi was overjoyed and retreated.

Liu Ye came to see Cao Pi, "Why did Your Majesty promise Sun to surrender?" In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to take advantage of the war between the two armies, send the generals to lead tens of thousands of troops, cross the river to attack Wu, Shu Han to attack the interior, Wu Wei to attack the outside, Jiangdong will die! ”

Cao Piyan said: "No, now that Jiangdong is coming, if I abandon it, I will lose the heart of those who descended from heaven." "Gong Ke can be relieved, I don't help Liu, nor do I help Sun. When they go to war, see if they survive, and if either side survives, I can send troops again and fight again while the situation is in place. What is the difficulty of removing it at that time? ”
