Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 55 Continuation of the Han Dynasty
was ready to poison Cao Zhang, but even if it was poisoned, Cao didn't want Cao to poison Cao Zhang unknowingly, and then claim that Cao Zhang died violently.
The easiest way is, of course, to poison food or drink, but Cao Zhang is not sure that Cao Zhang is the only one who will be poisoned. You must know that Cao Zhang also has a family, and if he puts poison in his meals and drinks, he will also be poisoned if he is eaten by others. Cao Zhang died alone, Cao can be said to have died violently, but if Cao Zhang's family all "died violently", then it would be too strange, and Cao may not be able to hide the mouth of the people in the world at that time.
And the level of poison in the Three Kingdoms era was really not very good. The vast majority of the poisons of the Three Kingdoms period were taken from nature, without refining and processing, and only a handful were very toxic. Another point is that the poisoning of Cao Zhang cannot be seen in light and must be carried out in secret, which also increases the difficulty. So even if Cao enjoyed the land of the Central Plains, he did not find a suitable poison to poison Cao Zhang.
At this time, Cao suddenly remembered Hua Tuo, who was locked up by himself.
Hua Tuo is a miracle doctor, proficient in pharmacology, and equally proficient in poison. Although Hua Tuo did not taste all kinds of herbs like Shennong, his understanding of poison was the first in the world.
……
Xu Du Prison.
After getting along for the past few months, Hua Tuo and Wang Xiaohu have become old friends.
In fact, in the depths of this dungeon, there are only two prisoners, Hua Tuo and Wang Xiaohu, so Hua Tuo and Wang Xiaohu want to talk to others, and they have no other choice. In the past few months, the two have gotten along and are already very familiar.
Now Hua Tuo also knows that he is afraid that this time he is more than lucky, Hua Tuo does not want to let the medicine he has studied all his life be lost, and Wang Xiaohu has become the only person Hua Tuo can entrust.
The two of them had nothing to do. Hua Tuo passed on his local medicine skills to Wang Xiaohu. A few months down. Wang Xiaohu has learned a lot about geomedicine.
this day. Hua Tuo is teaching Wang Xiaohu medical skills. The cell door opens. The cell boss grinned and walked in.
The cell boss came to the front of Hua Tuo's dungeon. Open the cell door. Said respectfully: "Doctor Huashen." Your Majesty, please. ”
I can keep it here. It's not just a normal person. Take today's Huatuo as an example. Cao actually invited him by name. The cell boss naturally has to be respectful to Hua Tuo.
I saw Hua Tuo sigh slightly. He muttered, "It's time to come and come." ”
Hua Tuo walked into the corner. A cloth bag was found from the ground. This cloth bag was brought in when Hua Tuo came to the place. Hua Tuo took out a book from the cloth bag. It was handed to Wang Xiaohu through the railing of the prison subway. Then he said, "This book is what I have learned all my life. It is called "The Book of Green Capsules". Now I pass this book on to you. I hope you will be able to promote our medicine. ”
Wang Xiaohu was stunned, and at this time, Wang Xiaohu felt that Hua Tuo seemed to be entrusting the future, which made Wang Xiaohu's heart rise a trace of unease.
"It's a pity, kid, I don't have any more time to teach you......" Hua Tuo sighed softly, turned around and walked out with the cell head.
The so-called people are old and refined, Hua Tuo has walked for many years, and naturally he has read countless people, and when Cao arrested himself, Hua Tuo knew that Cao would never let go of himself. Now that Cao is invited, there will definitely be nothing good. Maybe Cao will take this opportunity to take his own life.
That's why Hua Tuo took advantage of this to almost explain to Wang Xiaohu what happened behind him.
However, what Hua Tuo didn't expect was that Cao didn't kill himself, but wanted to ask for poison himself.
Hua Tuo naturally knew that Cao asked for poison from himself in order to harm others! Thinking about this Cao Yin's ruthlessness and viciousness, at this time, Hua Tuo, a benevolent doctor, had a trace of murder in his heart for the first time.
"This Cao is so vicious, he must not stay in this world, otherwise he will definitely harm more people!" Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Hua Tuo's heart. I saw Hua Tuo smile slightly, and then said: "The poison that Your Majesty wants, the old decay naturally has ......."
……
The news of Cao's proclamation of Emperor Cao spread to various places, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan also reacted differently.
When Sun Quan heard that Cao was called emperor, he immediately sent an envoy to Xudu and expressed his willingness to pay tribute to Cao. Liu Bei scolded Cao, and the clerk criticized Cao.
However, although Liu Bei was very angry at this time, he was already happy in his heart.
For so many years, Liu Beidi's mood has been changing. Thirty years ago, Liu Bei wanted to get ahead and be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors; Twenty years ago, Liu Bei wanted to support the Han family and reorganize the Han rivers and mountains; Ten years ago, Liu Bei wanted to be a county and a place, becoming a prince; And now, Liu Bei hopes to be able to ascend to the treasure and become the person on that person!
With Emperor Xian, Liu Bei's idea is definitely impossible. Liu Bei is the king of Zhongshan Jing, and he is the emperor's uncle, with this royal status, it is not a big deal to proclaim himself the king of Hanzhong, and the people of the world will not say anything. But if Liu Bei is called the emperor, it will be a big rebellion. Even if Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle, he can't do this kind of thing while Emperor Xian is still there.
But now that Cao has abolished the emperor, the Han Dynasty has completely perished, and this has cleared the last obstacle for Liu Bei to become emperor.
Liu Bei naturally couldn't bring up such a thing as being the emperor, and when it came to the kung fu of sycophancy, these officials under Liu Bei were no worse than those under Cao. As a result, all kinds of "auspicious signs" suddenly filled all corners of Yizhou like a volcanic explosion
Although this Yizhou place is not big, the so-called auspicious Rui is not less than the Central Plains, and even surpasses! And the ministers of Shuzhong also took advantage of these auspicious rui to make a big fuss, saying that Liu Bei should follow the will of heaven to inherit the unification.
At the beginning, some small officials said so, but gradually, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others saw that the time was almost up, and they also got involved.
At the beginning of the 26th year of Jian'an, the doctor Xu Jing united hundreds of officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China to jointly play Liu Bei as emperor, which was rejected by Liu Bei. Three days later, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong wrote to Liu Bei again to claim the emperor, Liu Bei once again rejected the request of the two, and two days later, Hanzhong Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Zitong Huang Zhong, Bajun Yan Yan, Chengdu Zhang Ren and other generals jointly wrote again, hoping that Liu Bei would inherit the unification, Liu Bei still did not agree, but this time Liu Bei's attitude was not as tough as before. Two days later, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei once again proposed to let Liu Bei be the emperor and continue the Han Dynasty. Five days later, the ministers jointly signed a letter again, hoping that Liu Bei would be the emperor.
This time, Liu Bei finally reluctantly agreed, and then Liu Bei ordered someone to calculate the auspicious day, prepare dragon clothes and dragon robes, create jade seals, establish altars to worship the sky, and began to prepare for the emperor.
In April of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei sacrificed to the gods and told the world, called the emperor in Chengdu, inherited the orthodoxy of the Han family, changed the first year of Yuan Zhangwu, established his wife Sun Shangxiang as the queen, the eldest son Liu Chan as the crown prince, the second son Liu Yong as the king of Lu, the third son Liu Li as the king of Liang, Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, Xu Jing as the Situ, Zhang Song as the captain, Pang Tong as the Taifu, Guan Yu as the general, Zhang Fei as the hussar general, Lingyi Zhou Mu, and other civil and military officials also have their own rewards. Then there was an amnesty for the world and a celebration of the same time.
After a few busy days, Adou felt a little overwhelmed. Liu Bei is called the emperor, and the process is very cumbersome, and Adou, as the crown prince, is naturally indispensable. In particular, many things have to be based on the so-called ancestral system, which makes this matter more complicated, these so-called ancestral systems, Adou is ignorant, but some people understand very well, and this understanding person directs Adou to do what to do, so Adou feels like a puppet, at the mercy of others for a few days, and now that he is finally busy, Adou is also a little relieved.
……
At the end of April of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei had just been proclaimed emperor not long ago, and at this time, the soldiers in Shuzhong were very demoralized because Liu Bei claimed to be the emperor, and the grain and grass were also very sufficient, which made Liu Bei think that now was a good time to expand.
Liu Bei's outward expansion is nothing more than two choices: attacking Wu and Wei, to put it bluntly, either attacking Jingzhou or Yongzhou, and the disagreement between the ministers of the DPRK and China is very big about which side to attack.
Originally, Sun Liu was in an alliance, but with Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou, this alliance also collapsed. And now, Sun Quan has formed an alliance with Cao, which makes the situation not too optimistic for Liu Bei.
Cao Wei occupies the Central Plains region and has the largest territory; Eastern Wu is located in the south, and there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Shu relies on the difficult and dangerous Shu Road, and the defense is more than enough. With the national strength of the three countries today, even if two of them are united, it is impossible to slap each other to death, and it is foreseeable that there will be a protracted war between the three countries, even if it is fought for hundreds of years like the Warring States Period, it is not impossible.
……
In the court, the ministers began to argue again.
"Sun Quan treacherously disregarded the covenant and seized the land of Jingzhou, such a despicable act, we should fight together, so we should now attack Wu and retake Jingzhou." Guan Yu said sonorously. And the officials who supported Wu next to him nodded their heads one after another.
In the starting position, Adou also heard the trace of resentment in Guan Yu's mouth. The careless loss of Jingzhou can be said to be the biggest stain on Guan Yu's life, so Guan Yu has long hated Sun Quan, in order to wash away this stain on his life, Guan Yu was the first to stand up and advocate for Wu to recapture Jingzhou.
"Your Majesty, although what Guan Junhou said makes sense, but the minister thinks that now he should be defeating Wei." Zhang Song stood from the side, and then said: "Now that Cao has just been proclaimed emperor, it is when the foothold is not stable, Zhong Xuan and Zhang Ji have now been transferred to Xudu, and the new Yongzhou assassin Guo Huai is far less ruthless than this Zhang Zhong Xuan, so the minister thinks that now the Wei is the best policy." ”
As soon as Zhang Song's words came out, those officials who supported Zhang Songdi also nodded. However, Adou next to him also heard the trace of hatred in Zhang Song's words.
Zhang Song sent Xu Du to dedicate Yizhou to Cao Cao, but was humiliated by Cao Cao, for Zhang Song, a person who is arrogant and arrogant, this is simply a hatred that is not shared with the sky, so whenever he talks about Cao Cao, Zhang Song always gritted his teeth.
Liu Bei nodded. Guan Yu hates Sun Quan, Zhang Song hates Cao Cao, this is something that everyone knows. Now that these words came out of the mouths of these two people, although they were very reasonable, they both carried some feelings, and Liu Bei did not dare to listen to them easily.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Zhang Song said is right." At this time, I saw Zhao Yun stand up.
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun curiously, all along, Zhao Yun has always been relatively low-key when discussing matters in the court, and he doesn't like to come out to express his opinions, but he didn't expect to stand up today.
"Zilong, you say." Liu Bei said.
"Your Majesty, Cao usurped Han, is a national thief, people and gods are angry, Your Majesty is raising a division to conquer the national thief, just to conform to the hearts of the people, Your Majesty will attack Yongzhou, and the righteous soldiers in Guanzhong will be wrapped in grain and horses to welcome the king." Zhao Yun said.
"General Zilong's words are wrong!" This time it was Ma Liang who stood up, and I saw Ma Liang speak: "Jingzhou is an important place for transportation, connecting the four directions." If Jingzhou is occupied, the northern attack on Xiangyang can be directly pointed
Crossing the Yangtze River to the east can plunder the east of the Yangtze River, and such a strategic place must be captured. The only reason why we can control Jiangdong is because of its strong naval army, and as long as we do not engage its naval army, we will definitely be able to win. ”
Liu Bei nodded slightly, and at this time, those officials who supported Fa Wei immediately jumped out and refuted Ma Liangdi's statement, the ministers come and go, and the fight is not lively, but it has been fighting for a long time, and there is no result.
In the end, Liu Bei himself was impatient, and at this time, only Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and Adou did not express their position in the hall.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "Third brother, tell me where to attack." ”
"Brother Huang, I don't think Cao and Sun Quan are both pleasing to the eye, Brother Huang, where you say to fight, I will follow it!" After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he straightened his stomach and smiled honestly.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong next to him secretly scolded to themselves, this Zhang Fei is becoming more and more cunning, and he always pretends to be stupid at critical times. If Zhang Fei doesn't say anything, then next, Liu Bei won't ask the two of them.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and then saw Pang Tong shake his head slightly, and Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he sighed slightly.
"Prime Minister, Taifu, what do you think I should do?" Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong expected, Liu Bei opened his mouth to ask their opinions.
Zhuge Liang immediately stood up and said: "The minister thinks that what the previous adults said is reasonable, and there are pros and cons to Wu and Wei, and this matter needs to be decided by His Majesty himself." ”
Zhuge Liang retreated after speaking, and Pang Tong immediately walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now it is time to attack Wei and seize Yongzhou." The so-called Shu Wanglong, this pass was originally the place of my Han Longxing, when Gaozu Liu Bang was trapped in Shuzhong, he also seized Yongzhou first, so as to have the momentum of the world. Moreover, this Yongzhou is vast and wild, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and there are four pre-Qin blockades to block, which can be attacked and retreated, so it is the best policy to attack Wei and seize Yongzhou. ”
When Pang Tong said this, his voice paused, and he continued: "Although Jingzhou has convenient transportation, it is a place of four battles, surrounded by enemies on all sides, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and Jingzhou's waterways are vertical and horizontal, coupled with the strong Jiangdong Water Division, it is not easy to attack Jingzhou. Even if we get Jingzhou, we will have to face both Sun Quan and Cao at the same time, so attacking Jingzhou is too much to gain and lose! ”
Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "What you Aiqing said is very reasonable, but since you Aiqing have different opinions, I will discuss it again in the future, and it is not too early today, so it is better to retreat first." ”
dispersed, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang came out side by side.
"Shiyuan, Your Majesty has already made a plan in his heart early in the morning, why did you stand up today?" Zhuge Liang said with a little melancholy.
"Kong Ming, I don't know that Your Majesty wants to recapture Jingzhou. But Sun Quan is not easy to deal with, and the capture of Jingzhou is just to quench the thirst of Wangmei......"
"But Shi Yuan, Your Majesty has already made up his mind, how can he easily change it! Even if you object, it's just a waste of words, it's better to spend more time thinking about how to assist Your Majesty in dealing with Sun Quan. ”
"Kong Ming, you and I have been friends for decades, you should know my character, even if there is a little hope, I have to give it a try!"
"Hey...... Shi Yuan, this ...... I really don't know what to say about you! Zhuge Liang stomped his feet angrily, and then continued: "Shiyuan, if Your Majesty is to attack Wu this time, you must go with the army, mention Your Majesty a lot, and don't fall for Sun Quandi's tricks." ”
"What about you?" Pang Tong asked.
"If Your Majesty attacks Wu, the Jiangdong Navy will inevitably go out with all its strength and disrupt my transportation of grain through the river, so I will sit in Chengdu to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army." Zhuge Liang said.
Pang Tong nodded: "Yes, I am indeed inferior to you in this regard, since you are here, then I don't have to worry about the food and grass of the army." ”
"Also, when I entered Sichuan, I once set up a stone formation in Yubeipu, which can defeat 100,000 male soldiers, if the battle in front is not smooth, as long as I retreat behind Yubeipu, I don't have to worry about the pursuit of the Wu army." Zhuge Liang continued.
"Hehehe, Kong Ming, Kong Ming, after so many years, you are still so cautious." Pang Tong laughed.
"Of course, soldiers, the country's major affairs! The place of life and death, the way of survival, must not be observed! Therefore, before sending troops, you must think of a way out and be cautious! Zhuge Liang replied.
"But Kong Ming, you may not need this arrangement!" Pang Tongle said happily.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhuge Liang was confused, could it be that there was something wrong with this caution, or did he miss something?
"Kong Ming, have you noticed, all the civil and military officials have come out, and only one person has not come out yet." Pang Tong said, suddenly laughing.
Zhuge Liang also has an amazing memory, I saw Zhuge Liang look around, then thought about it again, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come out!" ”
"Yes, if what I expected, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have gone to persuade His Majesty! I dare to say that Your Majesty will definitely not attack Jingzhou this time! ”
"How so?"
"I guess, Kong Ming, do you dare to bet with me?"
was so careless that he didn't even notice that he was blocked again, and he had already exploded if he noticed it. It is estimated that this push has not paid attention to the local people, and the gluttonous insect should be the number one. Sorrowful......
