Chapter 2 Letter to all the princes
When Lu Bu heard that Gongsun Kang had taken Danyang County and Yuzhang County, he wanted to take the territory over, so he sent Gongsun Kang's senior brother Gu Yong to see Gongsun Kang.
Gongsun Kang warmly entertained his senior brother. and let Xue Rengui and Zhang Xiu accompany him.
During the banquet, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Gu Yong explained his intention.
Gongsun Kang is not used to anyone now. He sneered: "Let Lu Bu stop dreaming!" I have now begun the process of unifying the world. The shore of the land is not the king's land, and the whole world is not the king's minister! If my husband thinks he is still young, he still has ambitions and ideals. I sent him to Kushan to establish his own dynasty, and also to open up territory for the Han people; If there is no ambition, I can leave Wu County and Huiji County for him to retire. But after a hundred years, I'm still going to take it back. ”
The Chinese have always had a tradition of great unification, and no dynasty would allow others to establish a state on their own territory. Some kings even said: "Do you allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch?" Therefore, Gu Yong fully understood Gongsun Kang's thinking. I didn't say anything more.
After Lu Bu heard Gu Yong's report, he was furious. He always thinks that others should let him, get used to him, and follow him.
He walked up and down the lobby and shouted, "Troops! I'm going to send troops to take Danyang County! ”
Gu Yong, Gao Shun and others all looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and no one said anything.
Now they know Lu Bu very well, when he is angry, if you persuade him, he will definitely stick to the end.
And you don't say anything, and when he calms himself down, he will know what he should do right.
Sure enough, Lu Bu vented for half an hour. Emotions gradually calmed down.
He is already old, and although his ambition is still there, the prosperity of Jiangnan has corroded him. 10 beautiful concubines, and a few children. He can't afford to lose everything and wander around now.
Moreover, Gongsun Kang now controls most of China, and the chaos of the princes in the past has become a dominant family. Fight him, in case of defeat, it is impossible to wander around. He only has 40,000 troops, and he is fighting against 400,000 troops in Liaodong? It's scary to think about. What's more, these 40,000 troops, the skeleton was still built by Gongsun Kang for his more than 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers back then, who knows how many Liaodong spies there will be?
When he heard that Chang Feng rebelled, Gongsun Kang was alone, and he stood in front of the city, and let Chang Feng's men shoot Chang Feng with a word.
If he fights against Gongsun Kang, will his subordinates collectively rebel because of Gongsun Kang's words? It's scary to think about.
After Lu Bu calmed down, he sighed and said disheartenedly: "I'm still pensioning, if you still want to make contributions, go to Gongsun Kang." ”
Gao Shun, Wei Xu and others knelt down together, expressing their loyalty and willing to advance and retreat together with Lu Bu.
Gongsun Kang was still staying in Danyang City, and while doing some happy things with Sun Shangxiang, he also drummed up a "Letter to All the Princes".
In fact, there are only three princes who are still active in the land of Shenzhou: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Xi.
Gongsun Kang said in the "Letter to All the Princes":
1. The book "World Geography" I wrote is true, and the world is so big.
Second, he also said: To the west of Jiaozhou, there is a poisonous country and a Guishan country. The land area of these two dynasties was the size of the Han Dynasty.
3. The land there is exceptionally fertile, and rice can be harvested three times a year. Inside the Ganges, there are countless beautiful jade gemstones.
Fourth, Gongsun Kang expressed the hope that the princes from all walks of life could go to the poison and Guishan, and open up the territory for the Han people.
It's also a way to solve problems. The imperial dreams of the princes of all walks of life can continue to be done in the land of poison and frost, flowing with milk and honey.
Fifth, Sun Quan is very good, he took the initiative to open up territory for the Han people, and played a leading role.
(Sun Quan: Damn, am I taking the initiative?) Am I willing to leave the spring-like Jiangdong and run to this hot barbarian tribe?
Gongsun Kang: I have prepared for you the "Sun Kang Marching Army" invented to prevent heat stroke and water and soil adaptation, and the "Liaodong Miasma Avoiding Dan" invented to avoid miasma.
The unfavorable factors of Jiangdong's officers and soldiers fighting on the tropical march were solved.
Sun Quan burst into tears: Thank you to the party and the government for giving me the opportunity to be a new person. )
6. Gongsun Kang demarcated the territory for the princes.
Liu Bei, developed westward, took the territory of the Faqiang tribe, and went to educate and reform the Qiang people. This territory was the Tibetan State in later generations, and then it was called the Tibetan Plateau.
Liu Bei's current existence in Dongchuan Hanzhong and Xichuan Yizhou can be lent to him for 10 years. After 10 years, it will be withdrawn into the unified Han court.
And Liu Bei's newly opened territory of the Faqiang tribe can establish his own country. Gongsun Kang will not take it back.
(Liu Bei: You come, Sichuan is all mountainous, I see how you can take it back?)
Gongsun Kang: Fire oil, explosives, and volley ballistas! I'm going to drive a highway in the mountains! Besides, the powerful navy in eastern Liaodong can completely drive along the winding Yangtze River into Sichuan!
Liu Bei: Big brother, I was wrong. Don't come. )
Cao Cao also developed westward. The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, Guishan, can be used as his territory to establish his own dynasty. Gongsun Kang will not take it back.
As support, Liangzhou can lend it to him for 10 years. After 10 years, it will be withdrawn into the unified Han court.
And Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, Chang'an and other places will be recovered now. Lest Cao Cao have a slack heart, don't want to open up, just want to keep it.
(Cao Cao: Damn, Lao Tzu's own territory, you want to take it back?) What right do you have to take it back? What robber logic! Robbery is said to be robbery, and he also said that he is afraid that I will be slack, and I don't want to open up, but I just want to keep it. Why is it so clear and vulgar? )
Yuan Shang, in the past two years, has proven his incompetence. So this time we have to take back the state. At the same time, the Xiongnu occupied Jiuyuan County, Yanmen Pass and other places were recovered. As for the western prairie of Xianbei, Gongsun Kang decided to take it himself.
(Yuan Shang: Can you also give me a piece of land for retirement?)
Gongsun Kang: Do you have a beautiful sister? Do you have a beautiful daughter?
Yuan Shang: Not yet.
Gongsun Kang: That's not over, am I still waiting for you to give birth to my daughter?
Yuan Shang wept silently: Preference for women over men. )
7. The so-called 10-year postponement of recovery is the final time limit. Among them, there are also milestones.
If within three years, Liu Bei did not march to the Tibetan plateau, where the Faqiang people were located; Cao Cao did not march into the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions.
Then the Liaodong Iron Cavalry will think that these princes are really incompetent, and will begin to take back the territory reserved for their soldiers. Just like with Yuan Shang.
(Yuan Shang; Why are you using me as a negative teaching material? )
8. Other territories in the country have nothing to do with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Don't stretch out your claws again! Concentrate on opening up territory for the Han people. If you dare to attack the territory of the country, then immediately start a war! The Liaodong Iron Cavalry will sweep the autumn wind and sweep the princes.
This "Letter to All the Princes", Gongsun Kang wrote it very domineeringly.
After writing it, Gongsun Kang had it delivered to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shang, and at the same time posted it publicly in all big cities and small counties. Loudly expressed his political opinions.
Prepare to see if the princes will be able to act according to their plans; Let's see if any scholars and wealthy families jump out and scold themselves for wolf ambitions.
