Chapter 144: The Alliance of Wei and Tang (I)
"Tang Wang's great grace, it is difficult to protect one of the loyal deaths, I am willing to do my best to repay each other, and then die!!"
Wen Han was on the stage, bowing his head and responding. Huang Zhong's expression froze, and he patted his horse back to the battle. Sergeants also beat drums to greet them. However, the vocal music is far less than that of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun before. Subsequently, Wen Han issued an edict one by one, and named Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Pang De, Wei Yan, and Gao Shun as the five lion generals. Except for Wei Yan, the other four people came to receive the seal. Later, Zhang Xiu was named the Taishou of Beidi, Gao Shun was the pastor of Bingzhou, Xu Huang was the pastor of Liangzhou, and Xu Shu was the Taishou of Hedong. The rest are to be knighted for meritorious service.
The reward was determined, and all the ministers at that time were admonished, and the capital was set in Chang'an. Wen Han met the expectations of the people and ordered someone to repair the palace. In the middle of winter, the palace was repaired, and Wen Han led his ministers to move to Chang'an and entered the Hall of Merit. Since Wen Han was the king of Tang, he repaired his watch and sent people to Luoyang, the imperial capital. When he arrived in Luoyang, Cao Cao was shocked when he heard that Wen Han had established himself as the king of Tang and entered the Chang'an Hall of Merit, and then he was even more angry, sitting on the palace, although he did not speak, but all the ministers at the table knew that Cao Cao was thunderous and angry at this time. Xiahou came out with a sigh and said sharply.
"Humble rats, dare to do this! King Wei doesn't have to worry. Now our Wei State has been recuperating for nearly two years, all of which are recuperating and recuperating, and in recent years, our army has 500,000 male troops. As long as the king of Wei gives an order, I am willing to fight to the death and swear to destroy the Western Tang Dynasty!! β
Xiahou Xuan's words fell, and Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other Cao clan relatives attended angrily and echoed it. Cao Cao's eyes, which were like the power of swallowing the sky, glowed with bursts of cold light. At this moment, Xun Yu hurriedly attended and gave up.
"King Wei must not be like this. Wen Bufan divided the northwest, the northwest is prosperous, and in recent years, people from all over the world have flocked to it. There are millions of people in the northwest, and there are elite soldiers, and they have long had the capital to establish a country. At the same time, the literature is extraordinary, and the people are expected to be respected as the emperor. Now he is only called the King of Tang, and there is no emperor yet, so why should the King of Wei be in a hurry to destroy him. What's more, we had a plan in the past to unite with Wen Bufan to implement the country's major policies. If the king of Wei sent troops at this time, the two countries of Wei and Tang would inevitably turn against each other and rest until death. In this way, it will only make Liu Bei and Sun Quan benefit from the fishermen. I hope that King Wei will think twice!! β
As soon as Xun Yu's voice fell, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and other strategists also came to persuade him. When Cao Cao heard this, he was hesitant, and then turned his eyes to look at Guo Jia under the table. Guo Jia has been closing his eyes all the time, and now he seems to be aware of Cao Cao's gaze, his eyes are open, and he bows his hands.
"The so-called small intolerable is a big plan. Why did the king of Wei destroy his own national policy because of a momentary anger? In Jia's opinion, he can invite the Son of Heaven to fulfill his wishes. At the same time, you can send a person who argues with a tongue, and he writes to Wenhan and talks about the alliance between Wei and Tang. When the time comes, we will teach him to conquer Xichuan, and we will do our best to pacify Jingzhou, and then remove the Jiangdong Sun clan. And then it is not too late to duel with Wen Han. β
Cao Cao listened to the words, and his eyes burst out in a hurry
G-ray, finally speaking with a smile.
"Hahaha. In fact, more than ten years ago, when Wen Bufan pacified Yongzhou, he had already guessed that there would be such a day. Lone's best friend is now also king in the northwest, and this person is really a strong enemy in Lone's life. β
Cao Cao laughed and followed Guo Jia's words. The next day, he made a pilgrimage to the palace and told him about it. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has long had no real power, even if he is unwilling, it will not help. At the moment, he followed Cao Cao's wishes. Cao Cao begged for the edict, so he made the full favor as an envoy, and went to Chang'an to see Tang Wang Wenhan in the starry night.
Full of favor to see Wen Han, first announced the order of the Son of Heaven, and all the Tang ministers were very happy when they heard that the Son of Heaven was willing to accept Wen Han's intention to establish the king. Wen Han received the edict and thanked the emperor. Seeing this, Man Zhong was about to take the opportunity to talk about the alliance with Wei and Tang, but Wen Han taught people to place Man Chong first, and Man Chong did not dare to make a mistake, so he went out of the palace with the soldiers first. As soon as Man Zhong left, Wen Han's expression froze, and he discussed with His Royal Highness Wen Wu.
"Cao Mengde will be the king in the northwest by De Lone, and there must be deception. I don't know what happened to the full favor of entering the Tang Dynasty this time. β
When Da Sima Xu Shu heard this, his eyes were gorgeous, as if he had thought about it, and bowed his hand.
"If you are standing in all directions today. Although Cao Cao was powerful, he was afraid that the other three would join forces to fight against him. However, if Cao Wei can unite one of the three families, they will jointly annihilate the other two. With Cao Wei's 500,000 elite soldiers, he will be able to expand his power again. Among them, Sun Bofu died at the hands of Cao Cao in the past, and it was impossible for the Sun family of Eastern Wu to unite with him. And the most hated person in Cao Cao's life is the big-eared thief, so he also disdains to ally with the big-eared thief. Among the three, only King Tang and Cao Cao had a very good relationship. When Manmanning comes, there will be an alliance. β
When Wen Han heard this, his eyes froze, and he suddenly laughed and said.
"Oh? According to what Yuan Zhi saw, this Cao Mengde effectively imitated the meaning of the great policy of strengthening Qin and determining the country. β
"Yes, too. The king can treat him with courtesy first. Let's see what this Man Boning says, and then make a decision. β
Xu Shu admonished, and Wen Han followed Xu Shu's words, set up a banquet that night, and sent him back to the hall to rest. The next day, Wen Han summoned Manchu to meet him at the Hall of Merit. After the ceremony, Wen Han was full of favor with courtesy. Seeing Wen Han treating him so politely, he was overjoyed in his heart, so he made a promise.
"Wei and Tang have always been good friends. The king of Wei sent a certain here, one to announce the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the other to congratulate the king of Tang on his accession to the throne. The third is that there is an important matter, and I hope to discuss it with the king of Tang. β
Wen Han smiled and beckoned.
"Oh? What is the king of Wei to discuss with Gu? Mangong said it was okay. β
Manzhong's expression froze, and then he replied.
"The King of Wei wants to ally with the King of Tang, tie the knot forever, and eradicate the Sun and Liu families. After the two families are broken, they will share the territory and swear not to invade each other! I don't know what King Tang wants? β
Wen Han heard this, laughed, and groaned for a while before replying.
"Fortunately, King Wei is so favored. If Wei and Tang are united, how should something happen? β
"King Tang doesn't have to worry too much. The king of Wei had already planned that when the king of Wei would raise troops to attack Jingzhou, the king of Tang would attack Xichuan with his troops, and attack from head to end. Liu Bei was too busy to take care of himself, even if Zhuge Kongming had great ability, it would be difficult to resist the momentum of the two countries. When Liu Bei is destroyed, Xichuan will be attributed to the king of Tang, and Jingzhou will naturally be attributed to the king of Wei. As soon as Liu Bei was destroyed, only the Jiangdong Sun family was left, and it was difficult to sing alone. At that time, the king of Tang can enter Jiaozhou from Sichuan, and the king of Wei will cross the river to Jiangdong, and within half a year, the world can be determined. β
Full of favor immediately said Xun Yu's plan carefully. Wen Han listened, his eyes narrowed, and he glanced at His Highness's Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai secretly bowed his head to show that Wen Han should respond. Wen Han was sure in his heart, so he smiled with Manzhong.
"That's very good. I also hope that the Manchu Duke will return to the King of Wei, and I hope that the two families of Wei and Tang will always be connected and calm down the chaos in the world as soon as possible. This is also a blessing for the people. β
Manzhong listened to Wen Han's response without thinking, and couldn't help but show a little different color. However, since Wen Han promised to do so, Manzhong was naturally happy to do so. That night, Wen Han held a banquet in the palace to entertain him. On the second day, he retired and returned to Luoyang.
On the same day, the front foot of the full favor had just left, and Wen Han was convenient for the Hall of Merit to gather with a group of civil and military affairs. Wen Han sat in the high hall and said in a condensed voice.
"According to the public's opinion, the matter of the alliance between Wei and Tang is a fraud!?"
Tian Feng had already thought about it earlier, and he attended.
"The Wei-Tang alliance is beneficial to Cao Cao. In a certain opinion, it is definitely not a fraud. However, Cao Cao has evil intentions, and the king has to guard against it! β
"Oh? What did Yuan Hao say? β
"The land of Xichuan is extremely precipitous, and it is also the land of abundance. If Wei and Tang attacked Liu Bei, Liu Bei would definitely focus on Xichuan. If this is the case, I will definitely have a fierce battle in Xitang. On the contrary, Cao Cao's affairs in Jingzhou are very easy to break. I'm afraid that when Cao Cao breaks through Jingzhou, I'm still fighting in Xichuan.
At that time, Cao Cao will attack Jiangdong with the momentum of thunder and strive to seize the land of Jiangdong first. If Jiangdong is also acquired by Cao Cao, its power is two-thirds of the world. Soon after, Cao Cao will definitely destroy the covenant and pour his troops into the same strength as my Western Tang Dynasty!! β
As soon as Tian Feng's words fell, he expressed Cao Cao's evil intentions. The faces of all the ministers in the palace changed greatly. Wen Han was stunned and said coldly.
"Hmph. Cao Mengde is really cunning like a fox!! β
At this moment, Wen Han found that His Highness was the only one with a smile, so he looked at it. Xi Zhicai bowed his hand and said with laughter.
"Now that we know Cao Mengde's evil intentions. The king doesn't have to worry too much. Now we can first follow his will and annihilate Liu Bei. At that time, someone will come to teach me the strategy of destroying Cao Wei. β
When Wen Han heard this, he glared at him and stood up suddenly, as if he had guessed something. Xi Zhicai bowed slightly, and then said so. When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. It turned out that Xi Zhicai expected that if Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei was destroyed by the two families, he would definitely be in chaos, lest he repeat Liu Bei's mistakes. And if Sun Quan wants to keep Jiangdong, he must unite one of the two families. And the Cao and Sun families are feuds, even if Sun Quan wants to be like-minded, most of the civil and military forces in Jiangdong must be unwilling. In this way, Sun Quan will definitely send someone to ask for help from Xitang. At that time, the Western Tang Dynasty will make a plan, first make a promise, and after pacifying Xichuan, divide the troops into three routes, respectively from Hedong, Yongzhou, and Sichuan to the Central Plains. At that time, Cao Cao was raising troops to destroy the Jiangdong Sun clan as soon as possible, and the Central Plains must be empty. The west will be able to break through the Central Plains. After that, he united with Sun Quan, attacked the Wei army before and after, and after breaking Cao, he could eradicate the Sun clan in Jiangdong and unify the country in less than three years.
Xi Zhicai deserves to be known as a god, and as soon as this plan fell, everyone looked different, and most of them were even more skeptical. However, Wen Han was extremely convinced of what Xi Zhicai said, and he couldn't stop laughing.
At this point, the Wei and Tang countries formed an alliance, and as soon as this matter came out, it immediately shook the world.
However, it was said that Sun Quan had pacified the Jiangdong Rebellion and eradicated Yan Baihu. Koto was able to rest for two years. Sun Quan led a group of civil and military forces, each doing his own thing, and working hard. Sun Quan is even more big or small, and he personally decides from the public. The people of Jiangdong are peaceful and happy. Now there are nearly 160,000 elite soldiers in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals will personally drill and teach the formation. Lu Su and Zhuge Jin are responsible for armaments, grain and grass distribution, and there has been a bumper harvest of grain in recent years. In addition, there are Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other talents, cutting off administrative affairs, so Jiangdong can flourish day by day, and the prosperity is better than before. The name of Sun Quan's benevolence is quite praised by the people of Jiangdong. All civil and military officials also felt that Sun Quan was a generation of Ming Jun, and they sincerely poured themselves into it and tried their best to help.
At that time, Sun Quan ascended the throne of King Wu according to the wishes of the ministers, and the capital was set in Jianye, and the country name was Wu. Feng Zhang Zhao is the prime minister, Gu Yong is the Taifu, Lu Su is the Shang Shuling, and Zhuge Jin is the Taichang. Lu Xun sacrificed wine for the military advisor. He also named Zhou Yu as the governor of the capital, commanding the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong, and the prime minister of military affairs. Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, LΓΌ Meng, and Ling Tong were all named Tiger Generals. Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other veterans were named Changsha, Guiyang, and Wujun Taishou respectively. The rest are to be knighted for meritorious service. At this point, the hearts of the people of Eastern Wu were greatly shaken, and all the generals stepped up the training of soldiers and horses, hoping to go out as soon as possible and dominate the world.
In the same month, there was a sudden report that the champion Hou Wenhan was crowned the king of Tang and set his capital in Chang'an. When Jiangdong Wenwu heard this, they were all shocked. Zhou Yu even expected that in the near future, there will be big things in the world. When Wu Chen heard this, they all thought that Zhou Yu was worried. Who would have expected that in less than half a month, there was amazing news from Xizuo, and the two countries of Wei and Tang became good friends of Qin and Jin. Sun Quan was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly gathered civil and military forces to discuss matters in the palace.
"Cao Lao Thief and Wen Bufan have formed an alliance, Wei and Tang are powerful, if they come to attack, how can they stop it!? Can you have a plan to teach the lonely!? β
Sun Quan's face is calm, with purple beard and blue eyes, wearing a golden dragon and yellow robe, his spirit is full of energy, and he also looks a little bit of the power of a king. As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, His Royal Highness suddenly became noisy, and all the civil and military officers opened their mouths together, each with their own opinions. But most of them are useless arguments. At this moment, Zhou Yuhao was stunned, turned around and shouted.
"Under the Great Palace, what kind of system is it to be so noisy!!"
Zhou Yu fell, the sound was like thunder, and everyone saw that it was Zhou Yu, and they didn't dare to make a mistake. Soon the hall was quiet again. Zhou Yu's expression froze and bowed.
"The two countries of Wei and Tang are united, and their momentum is so great that our Wu State is powerless to resist at all."
