Chapter 214—A Feast for Crows (10)
For a conspirator like Jia Chong, if something has use value, then it must be maximized. Now that he has made up his mind, let this group of Cao Wei's old generals and descendants make trouble. Then we have to take the opportunity to make Shu Han and Dongwu also have some friction. So, one of his pieces of information was sold to both sides at the same time. And whether it was Guan Yi or Zhong Hui, they did their best after receiving such information.
When Lu Ya, the head of the Shu Han Dynasty's great spies, did not hesitate to take risks in person, he traveled thousands of miles from Chengdu to Xiling to persuade Zhang Hu. The new head of the big spy in Soochow also went out in person.
"Correct Wang Cheng and Wang Shunmin in the Xia Da Wu Dian and meet the Marquis of Yan."
Hou Yan is the title of Zhang He before his death. After his death, his son Zhang Xiong was the lord. Now Zhang Xiong is also in his sixties.
For the Shu Han regime, there have been more than a dozen northern expeditions in the more than 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the closest thing to success is actually the first Northern Expedition in 228 AD. The end point of that Northern Expedition was the defeat of Jieting. The one who gave Shu Han the greatest bitter fruit was Zhang He.
Not only that, but in Zhang He's later career as a horseman, his official position was mainly paved by the bones of Shu Han soldiers. Of course, in the end, Zhang He also died at the hands of Shu Han.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Lu Ya that for Lu Ya, his first interview object will not be Zhang He's descendants.
As for Dongwu, Zhang Babai killed Jiangdong children in those years, and they didn't dare to cry at night. That was really beaten so badly by Zhang Liao! Therefore, Wang Cheng's first contact object will definitely not be Zhang Liao's descendants.
"Huh? Shunmin? Looking at the corrected appearance, it shouldn't be my Han person, right? ”
"Hou Hou is really as wise as a torch. Yes, he was originally a native of Yizhou, and was brought to Jiangdong by the Dawu fleet when he was a child, and was rewarded to the prince at that time. It's been thirty-five years now. ”
"I see. The old man is now a civilian, so don't say anything about the marquis. It's a shame to say. The old man's words Boyang, Shunmin, you and I are commensurate! ”
"Good!"
The next thing is similar to the contact between Lu Ya and Zhang Hu. However, the conditions for the opening of the Eastern Wu side were: 1. After the end of the Xiling War, Zhang Xiong wanted to bring all this team to Jiangxia County in Eastern Wu. Soochow took out the land of two counties to resettle it. Second, Dongwu promised that the school office would do its best to find a descendant of the Cao family to Jiangxia, and then crown this descendant of the Cao family as the king of Wei. After raising the banner on this, it attracted forces loyal to Cao Wei to defect. 3. The Kingdom of Wei under the Wu Empire will always be a vassal of the Wu Empire. If the Jin Empire launched a war against the Wei Kingdom, the Wu Empire would need to provide protection. If the Wu Empire dominates the world in the future, at least one county will be split as a fief of the Wei Kingdom. Fourth, the school office of the Wu Empire promised to send the families of several families to Jiangxia as much as possible.
Late at night on the eighth day of the first month of October, in the north of Yidao City, in the old general camp of Cao Wei of the Jin Kingdom.
Thanks to Wang Hun's blessing, after leaving the Jin army camp, the descendants of the five good generals who had to make gestures to avoid suspicion could finally sit together and discuss major matters.
Inside the big tent, there were more than 20 people seated. The two leaders, one is Zhang Hu and the other is Zhang Xiong.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the condition on the other side of Shu. Compared to the conditions of Wu Guo that Brother Boyang Xian said just now, we need to fight the territory ourselves! Even if we fight down, we have to defend it ourselves! Let's think about where to go. ”
At this meeting, no one asked the question of whether to reverse or not - this TM is nonsense! The ancestral graves have been dug up, and it is not reversed?! Are you a man?! In the past, everyone lived separately in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and it was just a matter of being lonely and weak. Now it's rare for Jin Rebellion's head to be dizzy, and everyone is together, how can it not be reversed?
However, how to reverse, this is a big question. Because everyone knows very well in their hearts that after taking this step, they will always be dancing on the tip of the knife.
After a long silence, a voice rang out.
"Two uncles, Xu Ba thinks that they should be mediocre."
"Oh? Why did Wen Bo make this statement? ”
"Two uncles, brothers. The words of the two families of Guanshu and Wu. Ba thought that the conditions of Shu were more sincere and far-reaching. First, the three counties of Shangyong, although we want to take it ourselves. But now the strength of the three counties of Shangyong is actually less than 2,000. If the Jin rebellion is defeated in Xiling, we will take advantage of the weakness to enter. When the three counties can be taken. Even if you can't take all of the three counties. We will definitely be able to take this Weixing County. This county and even the land of the three counties served as the foundation of the revival of the Great Wei Dynasty. Wouldn't it be better than dwelling in two counties?
Second, this high wall, extensive accumulation of grain, slow to call the king nine characters. It really won my heart. In the past, Emperor Wei Wu had just received Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, appointed himself as a general, and opened the palace to govern affairs. As a result, after Yuan Shao expressed his dissatisfaction, Emperor Wu hurriedly gave up the title of general. Not valuing fame, but only emphasizing practice, is the key to Emperor Wu's ability to achieve such a feat. If we go to Jiangxia, we will support the descendants of Emperor Wu and become the king of Wei. must be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by Jin Rebellion. There will be a constant attack. It's rare to have a time to recuperate. And our dependence on Soochow will become tighter and tighter. At the same time, because Jiangxia County did not face the Jin rebel peak, the Jin rebel sent troops, and Soochow first had to suffer the brunt. This time or twice is enough. What about three or four times? Will Soochow feel that the gains outweigh the losses? What if it is sold by Soochow one day? It must be known that at this point, Dongwu is not as reliable as Xishu.
Third, Jiangxia County is completely surrounded by the South County and Qichun County of Eastern Wu, and our every move must be allowed by Eastern Wu. The three counties of Shangyong, Hanzhong County, which is backed by Shu, can get the support of Shu. Nanxiang County and Nanyang County facing the Jin Dynasty. If we don't have enough strength, what if we have enough strength after a few years? We want to fight out, and we don't need to go through Xishu's approval at all! And it's not so easy for Xishu to sell us! Finally, this Weixing County, this lip color is really good! The above is Xu Ba's superficial opinion, and I would like to ask the two elders and brothers to correct! ”
As soon as Xu Ba sat down here, Le Zhao jumped up over there: "Brother Wen said it well!" Little brother please obey! Two uncles, brothers, Le Zhao simply open the skylight and say something. Go to Jiangxia, although the territory is a little smaller. But it's all ready-made. Go to Shangyong, you have to fight by yourself, if you can't beat it, we will all die there! Therefore, the meaning of Soochow is to keep us in captivity like pigs. If it is useful, continue to raise, and if it is useless, kill it, eat it or sell it! As for Xishu, they treat us as tigers. Tiger, if you can't find food for yourself, don't you deserve to starve to death? Based on this alone, I Lezhao will look up to Guan Zifeng! Ladies and gentlemen, what happened to my Lejia is well known. In order to usurp and rebel, the Sima family deliberately sent my father to Yangzhou to die for fear that my father would be dissatisfied! And what about your uncles and brothers? After the change of Gaopingling, they were raised as pigs. Now, even the pigsty is not given to us! Haven't we been pigs long enough? Do you still want to continue to go to Soochow to be a pig?! ”
"Good! Brother Ziyin said it well! I, Zhang Tong, am only thirty-two years old this year, and I don't want to be a pig in Dongwu after being a pig in Jin Rebellion for more than ten years! Father, it's time to make a decision! Please take us to Shangyong! ”
It can be said that Le Zhao's words belong to a typical example of rough words. These words completely stimulated the blood that has always existed in the hearts of the descendants of these five good generals.
Looking at the young people with red eyes below, Zhang Hu looked up at Zhang Xiong: Old brother, four families, and three families have all expressed their positions. What do you mean?
The two nephews have a point. But the old man still had doubts in his heart. ”
"I don't know what doubts Boyang has?"
"Hey, in the past, Wei and Shu fought the most fiercely. The grievances of both sides...... Well, the old man actually means that. I heard that the youngest son of Ma Tan, who was defeated by his father and led to a different head, is now the first confidant of Guan Zifeng, the powerful minister of Western Shu. ”
"Hahaha, Boyang. You really don't have to worry about it. Xishu has done much better than Dongwu in this regard. Look at the new emperor of Eastern Wu, after he came up, he purged the Lu Wang Party. How many years has it been since this Nanlu party struggled? This guy still can't forget it. There is no kingly bearing at all. And what about Guan Zifeng? Zhong Hui almost wiped him out, but how did he deal with Zhong Hui? There are more than 100,000 captives in Yang'an Pass, and if I am the commander, I will learn in vain, how did he do it? Of course, this Guan Zifeng is a powerful minister, and he will not talk about him. What about Xiahou Zhongquan (Xiahou Ba)? His father died at the hands of Xishu! ”
“…… In this way, the younger brother has no objection. May my brother be the leader. After the Battle of Xiling, he rushed to the top. ”
"Thank you for your trust."
"Brother, the younger brother has two more proposals."
"Boyang, please speak."
"First, the younger brother continues to make false relations with the people of Nayizhou, so as not to make trouble with the school of Eastern Wu in the matter of transporting our family members. Second, if we want to make an accident, the most important thing is to have the support of that kid from the Huhou family! ”
"Well, that's the first thing it should be, of course. The old man expected that with Zhong Shiji's character, even if our family members were picked up by the school of Soochow and we didn't go to Jiangxia, he would not embarrass our family. This second thing, Huhou's son is a loyal man, but unfortunately he was killed. But it's not very clear what happened to this grandson. ”
It can be said that these old generals of Cao Wei are treated differently in the world of the Sima family. At least, Xu Chu's title of Marquis of Muxiang was not removed after the establishment of the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, Xu Cong and Zhong will have a grudge against their father, while Xishu and Dongwu are allies at this time. From Xu Cong's standpoint, he has no motives and reasons to betray the Jin Kingdom.
However, now Zhang Hu and the others are acting with Xu Cong's 2,000 Chinese troops.
Just as the two old men were staring at each other, a majestic voice sounded outside the tent: "Two uncles, brothers, Xu Cong asks to see!" ”
