Chapter 145: The Alliance of Wei and Tang (Part II)
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, all the ministers immediately changed color. Lu Su hurriedly cast a look at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu turned a blind eye. Sun Quan on the seat changed color when he heard this, but he didn't get angry, staring at Zhou Yu with blue eyes. Zhou Yu looked around and saw that everyone's expressions had changed, and then he said again.
"Yu is just talking about things. There is no contempt. If we don't know the danger, Soochow will destroy the country. ”
What Gong Jin said is extremely true. Lonely is known. I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor has a plan to save the country? ”
Suddenly, Sun Quan's expression sank, and he asked as he spoke. Zhou Yu bowed his hand and bowed back.
"Cao Mengde and my Jiangdong are feuds, they are already powerful in the world, and now they are allied with the Western Tang Dynasty. If we want to fight against it, we can only unite with Uncle Liu Huang of Yizhou and form an alliance to ensure that Dongwu has no worries. ”
When Sun Quan heard this, his expression was solemn, and he was hesitant. At this moment, Zhang Zhao hurriedly attended.
"Wei and Wu Ben have no enmity, because of listening to Zhuge Zhi's words, the two families have been fighting for many years, and the lives have been ruined by it, and the ancestors have lost their lives because of this. According to Zhao's opinion, it is really Zhuge who plays with us and other Dongwu in applause, which is particularly hateful! My Dongwu has the danger of the Yangtze River, which can resist a million army. If Wei Tang wants to march, he must first break Liu Bei. Why don't we also send a letter to unite with Wei and Tang, attack Liu Bei, and divide his territory. In this way, the Three Kingdoms will be established, Cao Cao will be powerful, and Wen Han will definitely have it. At that time, we will secretly make friends with the Western Tang Dynasty, work together to break Cao, and then fight with the Western Tang Dynasty, so it is the best policy!! ”
As soon as Zhang Zhao's plan came out, Zhou Yu's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Zhang Zhao and drank angrily.
"Zhang Zibu, you have to say this, you have no father and no king! The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and should be based on loyalty and filial piety. Cao Lao Thief shot the ancestor in the past, Wei and Wu were like fire and water, and our courtiers all hoped to break through the Central Plains as soon as possible, and kill Cao Lao Thief to avenge the ancestor for revenge, how can there be a reason for unity!? Since you are Wu Chen, you should swear to kill him, and you are the way of the minister!! ”
Zhou Yu scolded Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao was scolded by Zhou Yu so bloody, he was ashamed and angry, trembling all over, angry, even opened his mouth, but he was so angry that he couldn't say a word. At this moment, Gu Yong attended the persuasion.
"The Metropolitan Governor's words are wrong. Zhang Gong as the prime minister, immeasurable merits, deeply supported by the people, in recent years, Jiangdong thanks to Zhang Gong's dedication, day and night, in order to be able to achieve today's grand occasion. Most of the governors can reprimand the heroes like this. Isn't it chilling!? ”
Gu Yong's eyes were clear, and he looked at Zhou Yu angrily. Zhou Yu also knew that there had been something in his words, but he was angry in his heart, snorted coldly, and shook his sleeves and shouted.
"Zhang Gong does have merit, but his words are not the same. If the ancestor knew about it under the Nine Springs, how could he turn a blind eye!? ”
"The Governor of the Metropolitan is angry. The enmity of the ancestors must not be forgotten. But now that the times are pressing, Zhang Gong's plan is indeed exquisite. If you think so, King Wu should become an emperor. Liancao is just an expedient measure, and the metropolitan governor should focus on the overall situation!! ”
Gu Yong's words were solemn, looking directly at Zhou Yu. At this moment, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other veterans attended angrily, and everyone was angry and shouted in unison.
"I, Dongwu, have a deep blood feud with Cao Wei, how can I flatter the enemy. I'd rather die than connect with Cao!! ”
When Gu Yong heard this, his face changed. Zhang Zhao suppressed his anger and shouted with his eyes and beard.
"You wait for the puppet, you don't know the situation, but with the courage of flesh and blood, sooner or later it will cause a catastrophe!!"
When Huang Gai heard this, he was stunned and shouted.
"Zhang Zibu, you shut up for me, if there were no soldiers like us who forgot their lives and death, fought for the country, and conquered the territory. How do you get to be the prime minister in Koto!! ”
"You!! Husband and wife are not in harmony!! I'm mad too!! ”
Zhang Zhao was angry with Huang Gai, and he was so angry that his blood was churning. Cheng Pu then said.
"The matter of Liancao, for the time being, don't care. But if you want to unite with the Western Tang Dynasty, you must not! Sun Wentai, the founder of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, was shot and killed by Huang Hansheng, a general of the Western Tang Dynasty. But if you really want to unite with it, then ask Na Wen Bufan to take Huang Han's head first!! ”
As soon as Cheng Pu's words came out, many veterans in the hall echoed him. Gu Yong saw that most of the soldiers in the palace were strongly opposed to the alliance with Wei and Tang, so he sighed helplessly and said no more. Zhang Zhao argued with the generals alone, and finally fainted in anger. Seeing this, Sun Quan hurriedly summoned the imperial physician and ordered someone to help Zhang Zhao into the apse for treatment. Everyone was in a panic, and the half-ring imperial doctor arrived and told everyone that Zhang Zhao was old, and he had worked too hard for state affairs in recent years, so his health was too weak. It is necessary to recuperate for 100 days to be safe. There must be no more anger. When Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and the others heard this, their colors immediately changed, and they all showed a little shame. Sun Quan's face was dark, so he sent Zhang Zhao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to recuperate. They were subsequently dismissed by Sun Quan.
That night, Sun Quan was in the imperial study. I saw Sun Quan furious, smashing the utensils, and the servants were all afraid. Sun Quan vented his resentment in his heart, and thought about today's events in his heart. Originally, Sun Quan listened to Zhang Zhao's plan very well and intended to comply, but he was afraid of being opposed by Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others. Who knows, as he expected. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others not only refuted it, but also angrily scolded Zhang Zhao, who was so angry that Zhang Zhao, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, fainted. It's just that there is no one in his eyes, lawless, and he treats him, the king of Wu, as nothing!
At this moment, a nurse suddenly reported outside, and the two tiger generals, Yan Lumeng and Gan Ning, came to visit. When Sun Quan heard this, his expression was certain, and he suppressed his anger, so he ordered Lu Meng and Gan Ning to come to see him. After a while, Lu Meng and Gan Ning walked in together, and saw that the imperial study was in a mess. Gan Ning sneered, very indulgent, finished the salute, and said to Sun Quan.
"If King Wu doesn't like it, he would rather only need 300 elite soldiers, and then he can capture Zhou Gongjin and that group of old horsemen one by one, and let King Wu dispose of them."
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with murderous aura. When Lu Meng saw it, he was stunned, and hurriedly scolded Gan Ning.
"General Gan can't make a mistake, the governor and all the veterans are important ministers of Eastern Wu, if the situation is unstable today, when King Wu needs to employ people, how can he ignore the overall situation because of a momentary anger!?"
Although Lu Meng was scolding Gan Ning, he was actually talking to Sun Quan to listen. Gan Ning's heart was bright and he was not angry, so he made amends to Lu Meng. Sun Quan's face sank, hesitated for a while, and then said.
"What Ziming said is reasonable. Zhou Gongjin is the governor of the lonely Eastern Wu Dynasty, and his military reputation is extremely high, and the veterans are also outstanding and cannot be moved. It's just that these people are under the hall today, and they actually make the lonely prime minister faint with anger, and treat the lonely as nothing. If it were not for the past merits of the people, they would be severely punished to vent the hatred of the lonely heart!!! ”
When Lu Meng heard this, he hurriedly persuaded.
"The king is angry. Unexpectedly, most of the generals in the army were unwilling to unite with Wei and Tang, so it was better to follow what the governor of the capital said and unite with Liu Bei of Yizhou. Although Liu Bei is weak, he is assisted by Zhuge Kongming, a worldly talent, and has peerless warriors such as Pan, Zhang, and Taishi, and then there are Xichuan and Jingxiang. If we were to form an alliance with the Eastern Wu, it would be enough to resist the Wei and Tang dynasties. ”
Sun Quan listened, frowned, thought about it for a while, and felt that the current alliance with Liu Bei was the trend. At least in this way, Soochow will work together without worries. Subsequently, after Sun Quan discussed with Lu Meng and Gan Ning for a while, he made a decision.
The next day, Sun Quan held a conference in the palace of Eastern Wu Wenwu and announced that he wanted to unite with Liu Bei. Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and tried his best to respond. Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veterans also have no objections. Subsequently, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others attended for Zhang Zhao's incident and bowed to make amends. Sun Quan was not angry, but smiled, drank a few words casually, and then taught everyone to wait for Zhang Zhao's illness and then go to make amends one by one. Everyone received their orders and returned to their places one after another. Sun Quan then taught Taichang Zhuge Jin as an envoy, and went to Xichuan on the same day to talk about the alliance. Zhuge Jin received the order, packed up that day, and rushed to Chengdu to see Liu Bei.
However, it was said that Liu Bei had pacified Xichuan, the people had been settled, the three armies were rewarded, and the people's hearts were happy. In recent years, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Huang Quan and others have been working day and night to stabilize internal affairs, and Xichuan has gradually shown signs of recovery. Liu Bei also taught officials from all over the country to open grain depots and provide resources to the people. Therefore, the name of his benevolence spread all over Xichuan, and the people praised it.
At the same time, Jingzhou has Ma Liang, Kuai brothers and other talented people sitting in the internal situation, and the land of Jingzhou is also prosperous again. The people of Jingxiang are fortunate to be peaceful, they do not close their doors at night, and the road is not forgotten. Fortunately, in recent years, the rice has matured early, and whenever there is a mistake, it is necessary to be the first to do it. Therefore, Jingxiang and Xichuan are all music. At the same time, Pan Feng recruited more than 10,000 recruits in Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou army expanded to 40,000 people. In Xichuan, Zhuge Liang recruited 30,000 recruits from all over the country, and the Sichuan army had a total of 60,000. Zhuge Liang taught Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Hua Xiong and other generals to train soldiers and horses day and night. The generals are not lazy, and Zhuge Liang investigates from time to time, and there is a way to reward and punish. Therefore, the Sichuan army is quite elite.
At that time, the matter of Wen Han and Sun Quan becoming kings was introduced to Sichuan. Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and later heard that the fine works in the Central Plains and the Northwest came to report one after another, and the Wei and Tang Dynasties were allied. After Liu Bei heard this, he was very flustered and urgently summoned a group of civil and military officers to discuss matters in the state government. Liu Bei's face was calm, his eyes were full of worry, and he said in a condensed voice.
Wen Bufan and Sun Zhongmou have claimed the king, and now the prestige of the Han family has been lost, and it is even better than the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and Dong Zhuo in the past. In recent months, I heard that Wen Bufan even formed an alliance with Cao Lao Thief and privately divided the world equally. If this is the case, the Wei and Tang countries will inevitably come to attack me first, and now the situation is critical, I don't know if the princes have a plan? “
Zhang Fei glared at him and shouted angrily.
"Who are Wen Bufan and Sun Zhongmou, who dare to call Wang Ye!? Wen Bufan is even more shameless, and he is in cahoots with Cao Cao's thief who steals the country, and wants to divide the world equally. Brother don't have to worry too much, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Jingzhou was guarded by its own second brother to resist Cao Wei. If Wen Bufan dares to send troops to invade Sichuandi, my brother and I are willing to lead the soldiers and horses to fight to the death with **, and rest to the death!! ”
Zhang Fei's thunderous voice shouted, shaking the entire hall. When Fa Zheng heard this, he hurriedly attended.
"Wei and Tang are powerful, if we really join forces to attack, we will be unable to speak alone, and we will definitely be defeated. According to a certain opinion, it is the best policy to unite with Soochow and fight against it. ”
As soon as Fa Zheng's words fell, Zhang Fei immediately glared at him and shouted.
"No!! That Sun Zhongmou established himself as the king of Wu, ignoring the imperial court, and he was really a thief. My brother is a member of the Han family, how can he be complicit with the thief!? ”
As soon as Fa Zheng heard it, he stopped talking. Liu Bei is in the name of benevolence and righteousness, although he has a plan to follow the law, but it is not easy to say it clearly. Liu Bei hurriedly set his eyes on Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was actually closing his eyes and recuperating, as if there was no one. Seeing this, Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked.
"In Kong Ming's opinion, what should I do?"
