Chapter 462: Alliance
Zhen Mi said: Brother Shimin won't suspect that they are unfaithful to you, right?
No, that's not it, it's just that I haven't seen each other for many years, and I want to transfer, but there is no good replacement. But when you talk about loyalty, what do you say can make these people more loyal? Zhang Jie said.
Zhen Mi said: I don't know much about this, but my father's subordinates, my father let them swear first. They have made a poisonous oath, and they will not dare to break it easily. Otherwise, it will be fulfilled.
Zhang Jie said in his heart, is there anything else going on? That's right! The ancients swore a heavy oath to believe in ghosts and gods. Isn't it true that future generations will be sworn in when they become presidents? In fact, it is also a kind of oath.
Hey, this is a line of thought, and Lao Tzu also asked all officials to take an oath. In ancient times, there were not many people who violated the oath, and it was never as arbitrary as in later generations.
Mi'er, come and dance to show Brother Shimin, I haven't seen you dance for a long time. Zhang Jie said.
All right! All right! Jump as you speak! ……
The next day, Zhang Jie has been thinking about the oath.
Lao Tzu doesn't want to be Liu Yu. If you die, the country will die, and you have to pass it on for two or three hundred years!
Whether this oath has any effect or not, no one knows, he at least has some effect! Otherwise, why did modern society still advocate oath-taking? Besides, the ancients at least kept their promises better than modern people after taking the oath!
Xiangyang, Lu Su, Zhuge Liang, meet the king of Chu.
Liu Qi said: The two gentlemen are exempt from the courtesy and give them a seat.
Thank you, King!
Liu Qili is different, thinking that he is the king of Chu, Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang have to make a big gift when they see him.
Liu Qidao: The two gentlemen don't know what happened to Xiangyang?
Lu Su said: King, Zhang Jie has now pacified Guanzhong, Xiliang, and the next step must be Jingzhou.
My lord Wu Hou and Uncle Liu Huang are very worried about Zhang Jie's southward journey, so I hope that the three of us will form an alliance. Defend against Zhang Jie together.
In fact, Liu Qi was also worried about Zhang Jie's southward journey, but there was nothing he could do. If you can unite with Sun Quan, Liu Bei will certainly be good to deal with Zhang Jie together. There are two powerful helpers, which are of course much stronger than fighting Zhang Jie alone.
Liu Qi said: Thank you Wu Hou and Uncle Huang for your concern, but the matter is big, and the king wants to discuss it with the ministers. Please also ask the two gentlemen to go back to the post house to rest first. How about this king's reply tomorrow to the two of you?
King Xie, I'll take my leave first! Lu Su said.
After the two went down, Liu Qi immediately called someone to find a few ministers to come to the meeting.
In the post house, Lu Su said: Kong Ming! I look at Liu Qizhi's great talent! And his face is yellow, and his body is weak, which is obviously the wine color hollowing out his body. I'm afraid it's not the appearance of longevity!
Zhuge Liang said: Liang has lived in Jingxiang for a long time, how can he not understand Liu Qi? This person is mediocre!
Zhang Jie wrote an edict, and Liu Qi showed it as a treasure and immediately became the king. Liang knew that he wanted to settle the hearts of the people with a high position. can know that it is Zhang Jie's strategy, and he still acts in the middle of the plan, how can he be so short-sighted?
Now that Zhang Jie is obviously going south to Jingxiang, there is Wu Hou and my lord to help form an alliance, this is a godsend for reinforcement, why hesitate? But he still has to find someone to consult, which is really incompetent.
Ay! The seven counties of Jingxiang {nine counties in Cao Wei's time}, the competition of things is Tianhua, the country is rich and the people are strong, the grain is sufficient, the Central Plains can be attacked, and the Jiangdong can be taken when retreating. Liu Jingsheng has been watching the world in Jingzhou for more than ten years, and he has not moved.
Now Zhang Jie's soldiers are strong and strong, and the rear is stable. From a bright point of view, Jingzhou cannot be defended.
Lu Sudao: Then how do we unite and form an alliance?
Zhuge Liang said: We can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. I hope Liu Qi can listen to our persuasion, no matter what, don't leave Jingzhou's naval warship to Zhang Jie!
Only if Zhang Jie can't get the Jingzhou naval warships, then Jiangdong can be stable.
Zijing, to be honest, my lord's Yizhou is much more stable than Wu Hou's Jiangdong! Once Zhang Jie takes Jingzhou, the next step must be Jiangdong. As for Yizhou, Zhang Jie is no matter how powerful he is, and he doesn't want to enter for three or five years.
Lu Sudao: Hey! My lord is worried about that, too! I'm afraid that Zhang Jie will get the Jingzhou Water Army.
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: The Jingzhou Navy can have such a scale, and it is all thanks to Wu Hou's father and brother to help!
What do you mean by that? Lu Su said.
Zhuge Liang said: If it weren't for the Sun father and son, who would attack Jingzhou every two years, how could Liu Jingsheng put all the focus on the water army? Later, as soon as Sun Wentai died, Liu Biao was afraid that Sun Ce would take revenge, so he paid more attention to the navy. For more than a decade, a large number of warships have been launched every year. Now from Hanshui to Xiakou and Dongting Lake, there are no less than 10,000 large and small boats! Do you think this is due to Wu Hou's father and brother?
Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Lu Su thought about it, it was really like this. Liu Biao's deal with Jiangdong was mainly a water war. The two sides went back and forth and didn't know how many times. It can be said that Jingzhou has a feud against the Sun brothers.
Lu Sudao: Now, Liu Biao and Huang Zu are dead, and it is useless to say this. Let's look ahead! Only by defeating Zhang Jie can the three parties have room to survive, otherwise they will all be slowly squeezed to death.
In the palace of the king of Chu, everyone has arrived. Liu Qi said: Just now Sun Quan sent Lu Su, and Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to come to form an alliance with Gu and jointly deal with Zhang Jie, I don't know what you think?
Liu Xiandao: That's a good thing! Zhang Jie is getting stronger and stronger now, and sooner or later he will fight Jing Xiang's idea. There is Sun Quan, and Liu Bei helps. The three parties worked together to resist Zhang Jie, which is a good thing!
Cai Mao said: The minister is opposed! Liu Bei was ambitious, and he helped Tao Qian occupy Xuzhou. helped Liu Zhang, occupied Yizhou again, and now began to fight the idea of Jingzhou again.
If we agree to form an alliance, and he sends troops to Jingzhou at that time, shall we fight or welcome?
Besides, Sun Quan, we have a feud with Jiangdong, and Sun Jian died in Jingzhou. Soldiers on both sides have suffered numerous casualties over the years. Now that they have formed an alliance, how do you let me face the dead General Huang Zu, how do I face those dead soldiers?
This, Liu Qi thought that everyone would agree to form an alliance, but he didn't expect that there would be a lot of grudges in between!
This Liu Bei is enough to fuck up, whoever takes him in, he wants to take away his inheritance. This makes no one dare to accept it with confidence.
Cai Mao's words are indeed reasonable, who knows if Liu Bei is using the alliance to fool people? What should I do when Jingzhou is captured?
Liu Xiandao: At this time, at that time. Now that Zhang Jie is about to go south, it is difficult for us to resist alone. Sun Quan and Liu Bei are certainly suspicious, but before they defeat Zhang Jie, they dare not plot against Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is not guaranteed, Zhang Jie's next step will be Jiangdong.
At this time, even if Sun Quan has a great hatred for Jingzhou, he will temporarily tolerate it. They are also afraid that the lord will fall to Zhang Jie!
As soon as Liu Xian said this, Liu Qi was moved, after all, Zhang Jie's threat was much greater than that of Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Everyone understands the truth that the two evils are lighter than the lighter.
Liu Qi said: Zirou, Xenodu, do you want to talk about whether you should form an alliance?
Brother Kuai Yue, after a glance at Liu Qi, he understood that Liu Qi was tempted. But now they are afraid that Zhang Jie will trouble him in the future, and second, they really don't want the war to destroy Jingzhou, so it is Xiangyang. Most of their family businesses are in Xiangyang.
