Zhuge Jin sent an envoy to Xiangyang on the orders of Sun Quan, and with the help of Zhuge Liang, he successfully persuaded Liu Bei to attack the Central Plains together a month later. After Zhuge Jin left, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang: "Yuan Xi went against the grain, claiming to be the King of Wei, and everyone in the world wanted to destroy him quickly, but Yuan Xi is strong, even if our army plus Jiangdong is probably not an opponent, why did the military advisor easily agree to your brother's request?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and explained to Liu Bei: "What the lord said is extremely true, it is indeed difficult to fight against Yuan Xi with the strength of our army and Jiangdong, but Liang is not a person who forgets his public affairs because of selfishness, Sun Quan is very cunning, and he wants us to contact Cao Cao, if Jiangdong does everything, Jiangdong will become the primary target of Yuan Xi's attack." ”

Liu Bei finally understood Sun Quan's wishful thinking, and said worriedly: "Then our army is mixed between Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Yuan Xi will think that we said that we will move the two of us to attack the Central Plains together, will we be the mastermind?" ”

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "As the lord said, Yuan Xi has now become the public enemy of the world, and everyone will be punished. I heard that Sun Quan fell out with Yuan Xi because Yuan Xi refused to crown Sun Quan as the king of Wu, and no matter who took the lead, Sun Quan was Yuan Xi's main target. ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, Liu Bei ordered someone to contact Cao Cao, and at the same time actively prepared for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Liu Bei's half-hundred-hundred, if he doesn't go north to the Central Plains, I'm afraid he won't have the opportunity to realize the dream in his heart.

Chengdu, Qinhou Mansion, Cao Cao had a headache and made an old mistake again, and was resting on the bed, listening to the report from the soldiers, Liu Bei's messenger came. Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhi to meet the envoy and then tell himself that he really didn't want to worry about these trivial matters anymore.

Ma Liang, as Liu Bei's envoy, saw that it was Cao Zhi who received him, and he was not happy in his heart, thinking that Cao Cao deliberately neglected himself. Cao Zhi was young, dressed as a Confucian scholar, paid attention to etiquette, and said politely to Ma Liang: "My father is not feeling well, and he ordered me to come to entertain the noble envoy, please forgive me if there is any neglect." ”

Saying this, Ma Liang realized that he had misunderstood, it turned out that Cao Cao was really sick, and said politely: "I don't know that Qin Hou is ill, so it was inconvenient to disturb him, but my father-in-law, Uncle Liu Huang, has something important to discuss with Qin Hou." Yuan Xi in the north poisoned the Son of Heaven, established himself as the king, acted perversely, bullied the current saints, people and gods were angry, Uncle Liu Huang wanted to join the forces of the three families, fight against the rebels, restore the Han family, I don't know if the Marquis of Qin is willing to join? ”

Cao Zhi thought for a long time before replying: "The stakes are very high, and I have to ask the Marquis of Qin to ask your envoy to rest for a while." After Cao Zhi arranged for Ma Liang, he went to meet Cao Cao and told Liu Bei that he wanted to unite the three families to deal with Yuan Xi. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that he no longer had a headache, and he had been planning for many years to deal with Yuan Xi together.

Cao Cao promised Liu Bei to send troops to the Central Plains together a month later, and Liu Bei, he is also a person who is about to die, and he should set up a successor as soon as possible, before he couldn't choose between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and now he finally thought of the best of both worlds, and set up Cao Pi as the prince, in charge of Guanzhong and Xiliang, Cao Zhi as the pastor of Yizhou, and the brothers worked together to fight against Yuan Xi.

The three princes of the south secretly transferred troops, but such a large-scale operation was not as secret as the elaborate work of the north. Yuan Xi received the news that Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao might use troops against him, and convened everyone in the Wei Palace's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone thought that Cao Cao was the most powerful, Wancheng had Gao Shun, and Xuchang had Zhang Liao, but only Luoyang, Zhang Xiu was afraid that it would be difficult to resist, and a large army should be sent there. Yuan Xi watched the sky at night, and a main star in the direction of Yizhou was dim, which should be Cao Cao's life soon, so he crowned Yuan Shang as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and led the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to garrison Luoyang to defend against Cao Cao's attack.

Tian Feng was not at ease, and persuaded Yuan Xi: "King Wei, the third prince is inexperienced, and it is okay to deal with Cao Hong, but I am afraid that Cao Cao will have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and I hope that the king will think twice." ”

Yuan Xi did not take back his fate, but said with a smile: "Tian Gong is too worried, the third brother has been in the army for many years, and he is no longer the ignorant child he was at the beginning, and this king has confidence in him." Tian Feng listened to Yuan Xi's words, and had to sigh that time flies so fast, he is almost sixty, and it is the turn of young people to behave, so he did not persuade again.

Pang Tong stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "Pang Tong has not made a contribution since the King of Wei, and he is ashamed of the grace of the King of Wei, if the king is not stupid with Pang Tong, his subordinates are willing to go to Xinye to fight against Liu Bei." Yuan Xi guessed Pang Tong's mind and wanted to share his rivalry with Zhuge Liang.

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Since Shiyuan is interested, this king should be perfect, and I can rest assured that you will deal with Zhuge Liang." There is Sun Quan all the way left, who wants to go? ”

I saw a young man take the initiative to ask: "Father, the child is willing to lead the army." Yuan Xi was very relieved to see that it was Yuan Rui, but there were a lot of capable people in Jiangdong, and it was okay for Sun Quan to personally lead the troops, but he was afraid that Zhou Yu would lead the troops, and Yuan Rui would be inexperienced and difficult to succeed.

Seeing Yuan Xi's hesitation, Sun Shao also stepped forward and said, "Please rest assured that King Wei will definitely protect the prince and prevent him from being harmed." "Yuan Xi actually wants Yuan Rui to go out for a while, to see the outside world, with Sun Shao to follow, and when he meets Zhou Yu, at least he won't lose too badly. Yuan Xi saw that everyone did not object, so he agreed to the request of the two and sent Zhao Yun to protect them.

Yuan Rui and Sun Shao excitedly told their mother the news, Zhen Mi was not at ease, but Yuan Rui insisted on his own thoughts, although he was a prince, if he did not come into contact with the cruelty of war, he would not be able to understand the hardships of the people, how would he rule the world in the future? Although Zhen Mi loves his son sincerely, he also agrees with Yuan Rui's point of view, and said with a smile: "You are the same as your father, you are always reasonable, I hope you can also be invincible!" ”

Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang did not agree with Sun Shao's fight, Jiangdong was fought by Sun Shao's father, and the lord of Jiangdong was Sun Shao's uncle, no matter what Sun Quan did wrong, Sun Shao helped outsiders to attack Jiangdong is to eat inside and out, lure wolves into the house, and be ashamed of the ancestors of the Sun family.

Sun Shao is stubborn, since the death of his father Sun Ce, he has become a thorn in Sun Quan's flesh and a thorn in his eye, if it were not accepted by King Wei, he may have died in Jianye inexplicably. In the past eight years, King Wei recognized himself as his righteous son and studied with Yuan Rui, so that he can protect Yuan Rui and quarrel with Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang.

Yuan Xi guessed Sun Shangxiang's temper, and he would definitely not agree to Sun Shao's fight, so he came to visit, but there was really a quarrel. When the three of them saw that it was Yuan Xi, it was not easy to quarrel anymore, Da Qiao took the initiative to ask: "Please also ask the king to take back his life, although our mother and son are deeply favored by the king, and it is natural to serve the king, but Shao'er is a descendant of the Sun family after all, and it is really inappropriate to fight in Jiangdong." ”

Da Qiao is kind and doesn't like to fight, even if he knows that Sun Quan's position should be more suitable for Sun Shao to sit, but after many years, he has already adapted to this carefree life, and he doesn't want Sun Shao to compete for the position of the lord of Jiangdong again. Yuan Xi reminded: "The position of Jiangdong belongs to Shao'er, and Sun Quan is unrighteous first, going to Jiangdong is just to get his own things back, no one is right or wrong, the reality is so cruel, Shao'er is not wrong." ”

Yuan Xi said that Da Qiao was difficult to refute, but Sun Shangxiang was unconvinced: "King Wei just wants to use Shao'er and let Jiangdong kill each other, why do you say it so beautifully!" ”

Listening to Sun Shangxiang's words, Yuan Xi sneered: "This king just doesn't want to kill anymore, Jiangdong Sun Quan is just a clown jumping beam in the eyes of this king, but he is still in a hurry to seek death, if it weren't for the fact that he is your brother, I would have killed him myself." In terms of the ability to lead troops, the only one who can fight against me is Zhou Yu, but it is very easy to kill him. ”

Sun Shangxiang has a hot temper, although he is much better, but his mind is also easy to get hot, Yuan Xi despises Jiangdong, thinks he looks down on himself, and without saying a word, he is ready to pack up his things and go back to Jiangdong. Da Qiao knew Miss Sun's temper, and it would be fine if she calmed down, but she was a little worried about Zhou Yu, after all, it was her sister's husband, so she pleaded: "King, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if Zhou Yu will fall into the hands of the king in the future, can he be spared?" ”

Yuan Xi knew that Da Qiao loved his sister Xiao Qiao, nodded and agreed to Da Qiao, and then asked Da Qiao to prepare luggage for Sun Shao, and followed Zhao Yun to Huaibei with Yuan Rui, while he went to find Sun Shangxiang, afraid that if the eldest lady couldn't think about it, it would be bad if she did something out of the ordinary. Da Qiao looked at Yuan Xi's departing back, a little faintly lost, and sighed softly: "Xiang'er, you have to cherish the people in front of you." ”
