The capital of Eastern Wu was built in the Taichu Palace

Sun Quan smiled and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the eunuch enter the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, General Wei Quan Cong, former General Zhu Huan, and General Zuo Zhu are asking to see you." ”

General Wei Quan Cong is a famous general of Wu and married Sun Luban, the daughter of Sun Quan. Quan Cong is very strategic, has participated in the planning of many important battles, and has been a general of the Sun family since his father Quan Rou. Quan Cong is very brave for the general, and when the enemy is in trouble, he fights for himself. As a commander, he is a strong and powerful man, and the royal army is well-organized. Fighting Shanyue internally, defeating Cao Xiu externally, can be described as an outstanding meritorious service.

Zhu Huan, a former general, is also a famous general of Wu State, and his courage can be called "Wei Yan of Wu State". Zhu Huan was brave and strategic, and designed to defeat Cao Ren, the veteran of Cao Wei, and beheaded his vanguard, so that Cao Ren died of shame. He also followed the general Lu Xun to break Cao Wei's great Sima Cao Xiu in Shiting, and offered a plan to block Cao Xiu's retreat and enter Tu Shouchun, but Lu Xun thought it was not feasible, so he did not implement it. Zhu Huan has an arrogant personality and is ashamed to be driven by others, and often wants to lead the troops alone, but Lu Xun has repeatedly been discouraged, so Zhu Huan often complains and is angry.

General Zhu Ju, Zhu Huan's younger brother, has a dignified appearance, a strong physique, and is good at arguing and cross-examining. Sun Quan considered that Zhu Ju had both civil and military skills and could succeed Lü Meng's career, so he appointed him as General Zuo and married his young daughter Sun Luyu to him.

These three people, Quan Cong and Zhu Ju are married to Sun Quan's daughter, they belong to the in-laws, Zhu Huan and Zhu Ju are of the same clan, and the three of them come together, and they must report after discussing important matters.

"Please!" Sun Quan realized that something was wrong and said eagerly.

Quan Cong, the Wei general who was the leader, said straight to the point: "The ministers and others only learned that the Wei State launched a five-way army, known as one million, to besiege Luoyang.

On the first road, Sima Yi's younger brother Sima Fu and Sima Wang's father and son raised troops from Yecheng to attack the Mengjin Pass ferry north of Luoyang;

On the second road, Wei generals Lü Qian and Liu Shao raised troops from Wancheng to attack Yique Pass south of Luoyang;

On the third road, Emperor Cao Rui of Wei personally led the army and worshiped Manchu as the governor of the capital; Tian Yu and Zhu Ling were the governors of the left and right of the former army; Sun Li was the governor of the Chinese army; Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou He, Xiahou Hui and other Cao Wei relatives and nobles led the tiger soldiers to protect the Chinese army Cao Rui; Chen Qun's son Chen Tai and Chen Jiao's son Chen Qian are the governors of the left and right of the rear army, and Liu Ye is the governor of the military division, Dong Zhao is the deputy governor of the military division, and Jia Chong, the son of Jia Kui, and Cheng Wu, the son of Cheng Yu, join the army. This road to Hebei, Xuchang, Chen Liu's various places to ride on foot, want to take the east barrier of Luoyang Tiger Pass.

On the fourth road, Wei generals Qin Lang, Xiahou Xian, and Yang Fu raised troops from Jinyang and went straight to the Pujin ferry to threaten Chang'an Guanzhong.

On the fifth road, Shangyong guarded Shenyi too much, and from Shangyong raised troops to attack Hanzhong in the west, wanting to cut off the road of the Shu army to retreat to Shuzhong.

This time, the Wei State is huge, the Wei Emperor personally conquered, sent out the troops of the country, and there was a wise and brave general to command, and the Shu State was afraid that it would be difficult to resist. ”

Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this, and lowered his head in contemplation. What a strategy, there are many passes in Luoyang, and Man Chong, Tian Yu, Zhu Ling, etc. are all famous generals of Wei, and there are Liu Ye, Dong Zhao and other wise people as staff officers. With so many attacks, Zhuge Liang's troops will be scattered and it will be difficult to hold on, if he looks forward and backwards, and loses the other, he is afraid that he will be broken by each one. It seems that the Wei army is bound to win this battle.

Just when everyone was amazed that the Wei army was so powerful, the former general Zhu Huan stepped forward and said: "What's even more terrifying is that the minister has just learned that Cao Rui's army has quickly captured the Luoyang Barrier Tiger Pass, and the Shu general Wei Yan was defeated and fled, and Guan Xing was killed in battle. The Wei army is approaching Luoyang, and Zhuge Liang's forces have not yet been assembled at this time, and Luoyang is afraid that it is already in chaos. ”

"Ahh Sun Quan couldn't help but scream, and said in surprise: "Wei Jun is so fast? Shu has won successive victories before, how can it be so vulnerable! From this point of view, Zhuge Liang is in danger, and the army of Shu may be wiped out! ”

"The army of Shu has won many battles before, and the army is in full swing, and the Wei State avoids its edge and retreats one after another. After a long time, the Shu army fought for several months, the troops were scattered, the grain and grass were insufficient, at this time it was the end of the strong crossbow, the Wei army seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to counterattack, so the Shu army was defeated in one blow. General Zuo Zhu analyzed: "At this time, the destruction of the army of Shu is on the verge of destruction, and even if we want to go to the rescue, it will be too late." Therefore, Your Majesty should have made arrangements as soon as possible! ”

"How?" Sun Quan asked suspiciously.

Zhu Ju exchanged glances with Zhu Huan and Quan Cong, and Quan Cong came out and said: "Your Majesty, our army can assist the name of Shu and increase the troops in Xiling on the border of Shu and Wu." If the Shu army is defeated and retreats, and can hold Hanzhong, we will send troops to Hanzhong to attack the Wei army with the Shu army. If the Shu army could not hold Hanzhong, and the Wei army took advantage of the situation to enter Shu, our army sent troops to trace the river upstream, seize the Badong region of Shu, block the west mouth of the Three Gorges, and cut off the Yangtze River. As long as our army can occupy the Badong region, even after the Wei army destroys Shu, it will not be able to go down the river, and the Yangtze River can still be owned by us, and our country can still rely on this natural danger to confront Wei. After our army stands firm, it can still see the opportunity to compete with the Wei army for Shu. This is a golden opportunity, please don't hesitate Your Majesty! ”

"This ......" Sun Quan was in trouble for a while, don't look at the alliance between Eastern Wu and Shu Han, in fact, Sun Quan always wanted to annex Shu Han and form a north-south confrontation with Wei, but the time had not yet come. Now the timing seems to be good, but it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of falling into the well and taking advantage of the fire to rob, and spreading it out, I am afraid that I will fall into the infamy of treachery and being ridiculed by the world.

"General Quan's words are wrong!" Zhang Zhao's face was grim, and he retorted righteously: "Sage Cloud, people can't stand without faith, and the country can't prosper without faith." Since our country has signed a formal alliance with Shu, this matter is known to everyone in the world, how can we be treacherous, take advantage of the fire to rob, and capture the land of the allies. We must not send troops to Shu Kingdom, lose our trust in the world, be ridiculed by the world, and disgrace Your Majesty! ”

"Zhang Gong's words are really pedantic scholars' opinions." Zhu Huan sneered when he heard this, "In troubled times, how can you survive by only talking about benevolence and righteousness? Since ancient times, all those who form alliances are doing so for their own security and interests. At the beginning, His Majesty formed an alliance with Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, in order to resist Cao Cao and defend Jiangdong. However, when Guan Yu occupied Jingzhou and threatened Jiangdong, this alliance was no longer valid, and we sent troops to take Jingzhou. Later, His Majesty abandoned his previous suspicions and formed an alliance with Shu again, still for the sake of uniting the two countries and confronting Wei. It can be seen how wise Your Majesty is! This is very powerful, all of them are country-oriented, when the alliance is formed, the alliance is formed, and the contract is broken when the contract should be broken, only in this way can we stabilize the country, so that my Dawu has always seized the opportunity and will always be invincible. Now, the Shu army is in danger, and the Wei army may defeat the Shu army at any time, take advantage of the situation to enter Shu, and threaten our country downstream. How can Your Majesty be held back by a covenant that has become useless, and disregard the interests of national security! Your Majesty think twice! ”

Zhang Zhao was angry and anxious, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak for a while.

In fact, Sun Quan was not satisfied with the two completely different countermeasures proposed by Zhang Zhao, Quan Cong, Zhu Huan and others, believing that one was too soft and the other was too strong, and it was inconvenient to implement. But in order not to affect the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Sun Quan could not directly deny it. So Sun Quan hurriedly appeased, everyone was silent for a while, and the palace fell into silence.
