Chapter 188: If Heaven Is Lonely
The idea was set, Bu Qi prepared the official document, and Sun Quan immediately sent his subordinate lieutenant Liang Yu to envoy Cao Ying overnight. Along with Liang Yu, there are also documents persuaded by Sun Quan's ministers.
The document expressed Sun Quan's hope that Cao Cao would go one step further and replace the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
******
Under the city of Jiangling, Wei Ying.
Cao Cao looked at the letter from Sun Quan sent by Liang Yu, looked at everyone under the account, and said with a smile: "Sun Quan's move is to roast Lone on the stove!" ”
Sun Quan's documents were passed in the hands of the ministers under the account, and everyone looked different.
Cao Cao watched coldly, and saw the reactions of the ministers under his tent one by one.
The documents began to circulate from Cao Ren, and successively passed to Xu Huang, Man Chong, Jiang Ji, and Huan Jie's ministers.
When it reached Sima Yi's hand, he suddenly saw Sima Yi kneeling on the ground and said respectfully:
"The fortune of the Han Dynasty is slight, the world is ten, and the King of Wei has nine. Now Sun Quan is a minister, which is the meaning of heaven and man, and he also invites King Wei to become a great unification and ascend to the great treasure as soon as possible! "Anyway, touch the ground with your forehead, and bow deeply.
Sima Yi knew very well that the King of Wei in front of him had run out of oil, and at this critical moment of the handover of green and yellow, he must not have a trace of carelessness and sloppiness, and he must carefully send the King of Wei to this last leg of the journey.
Until this time, everyone in the tent finally understood that they had returned, this was a form of persuasion, and the work of founding the country from the dragon!
A group of people rushed to kneel on the ground and respectfully invited King Wei to ascend the throne.
Cao Cao didn't speak, only squinted and continued to look at the ministers under his tent, as if watching a group of monkeys play tricks.
The voice of respectfully inviting the enthronement came from the tent to the outside of the tent, and outside the tent were all soldiers who followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north, and they all bowed down in the direction of the main tent when they heard the words, and the call of "Long live the King of Wei" sounded like a mountain and a tsunami, resounding to curb the white clouds.
Cao Cao then laughed contentedly like a child:
"If the destiny of heaven is lonely, lone is the king of Zhou Wen!"
If the destiny is lonely, lone is the king of Zhou Wen? What does this answer mean?
Ji Chang, the king of Zhou Wen, is famous for his evolution of Zhou Yi, but when he was alive, he was not called King Wen of Zhou, but Xibohou.
After his son King Wu succeeded in defeating the Zhou, he established the Zhou Dynasty and posthumously crowned the deceased father Ji Chang as the King of Wen, and Ji Chang can be said to be the founding ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty.
But the name of King Wen of Zhou is not because he gave birth to a son named Ji Fa, but because he has two-thirds of the world, and he can still be a minister and businessman, which is a virtue that has been praised through the ages.
Therefore, in the audience, the ministers in the account heard that the answer of the king of Wei was actually very ambiguous.
What the hell is he going to do? A loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, or a Taizu of the New Dynasty?
Just when everyone in the tent was in deep thought, Sima Yi's mind was already clear:
"King Wei himself doesn't want to ascend the throne, but in fact, he has already acquiesced in his heart to the crown prince Cao Pi to open up a new dynasty behind him......"
Thinking of this, I secretly sighed in my heart:
"King Wei is not old and foolish, if he really died desperately in his twilight years, then he would not have the merit of supporting the founding emperor......"
After a pause, he remembered Sun Quan, who was the first to persuade him, and couldn't help but be secretly vigilant:
In this way, in order to ensure that the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, it is imperative for the king of Wei to withdraw his troops. Sun Quan's scheming is really not trivial, how could such a strategy with a needle hidden in the middle come up with him? ”
At this time, Wu envoy Liang Yu bowed down again and said: "In order to show honesty, my lord has sent your army back to General Yu Ban, Zhu Guang, the former Lujiang Taishou, and some generals; As for the tens of thousands of troops living in our country, they will also be sent back to the country in the near future. ”
Liang Yu said this with a hidden wit, and changed the words "imprisoned in Jiangling" to "live in my realm", so as to avoid embarrassment between each other;
Second, if Cao Cao accepted the first wave of generals, it would also mean that he recognized that Nanjun Jiangling was a territory belonging to Eastern Wu.
How can this little careful thinking be hidden from Cao Cao's eyes? But he only smiled, not ready to burst.
This time, he came with the momentum, forcing Sun Quan to completely bow down to his subordinates, and handed over the ban and 30,000 soldiers, which can be said to have been a complete achievement.
As for Nanjun, he had already taken half of it by the time of Sun Liu's war. The so-called greed is not rotten, and now the Great Wei is worried about internal and external troubles, and it can't withstand a little loss.
After hearing that Yu Ban would be the first batch to be repatriated, Cao Cao was expressionless, and said to Cao Ren sideways:
"There is no general in the world who has won a hundred battles, and Yu Ban coincided with the rain and was defeated by Guan Yu, so he is not ashamed. But as a famous general, he was deeply favored by the country, and he surrendered greedily. Too also to teach lonely disappointed. Lonely did not want to see him again. Zixiao (Cao Renzi), the matter of the handover of the pawn here will be handed over to you with full authority. ”
Cao Ren immediately bowed down to receive the order.
Cao Cao stared left and right, and said in a deep voice: "The rest of the generals, tomorrow I will return to the town of Xudu with the orphan!" ”
******
Early the next morning, Sun Quan was isolated at the head of Jiangling City, looking at the Wei army not far away coming like flowing water, and retreating like flowing water.
In this battle, Dongwu seemed to expand the land for thousands of miles, but the army was defeated by Liu Bei first, and in order to get out, a piece of meat was stripped alive; was restrained by Cao Cao's two lines, and then he was shaved off a mouthful of fat.
Now the vitality is greatly damaged, and there is no work for a few years, but I am afraid that I will not be able to slow down.
Cao Wei is good to say, after all, he has already bowed down to the subordinate, and Lu Meng presided over the construction of the naval army camp on the south bank of the water, once it is put into use, Cao Cao will inevitably be threatened, and he will not dare to go south easily.
The one who is afraid still belongs to Liu Bei.
In the battle of Yiling, he finally saw the combat power of the Shu army, which was really not slightly weaker than the Wei army.
When the Han army retreated, the news of Guan Yu's death and Liu Bei's coma was blocked, so in Sun Quan's view, the Shu Han side still regarded Eastern Wu as the biggest enemy, and the thought of fighting Liu Bei in the future could not help but palpitate.
Just when he was confused, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Sun Quan looked sideways, but it was a fluttering step and striding over.
Bu Qi presided over the peace meeting this time, and offered advice to make Cao Cao retreat, Sun Quan was very grateful to him, and personally stepped forward to greet him.
But seeing Bu Qi, he bowed deeply, hugged his fists and said, "The minister is here to bid farewell to the lord." There is news that the situation in the South China Sea is unstable, and the minister has been entrusted by the lord to supervise the affairs of the state, and now that the matter is here, he should return to the town. ”
Sun Quan held Bu Qi's hands and sighed: "The lonely six gods have no owner, but fortunately Zishan helps." ”
Bu Qi bowed down again and said: "Before leaving, the minister has two plans, but Liu Bei's momentum can be reduced, and the soldiers of Yizhou are tired, and they are willing to sacrifice to the lord!" ”
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Bu Qi said: "Does the lord know that after Liu Bei settled in Shu, he cast a hundred and five baht?" ”
Sun Quan thought carefully for a while, frowned, and said, "I don't know." ”
Bu Qiu explained: "Before Liu Bei entered Shu, he agreed with his soldiers that the gold and silver in Shu would be distributed to the soldiers, and the grain and silk would be returned to the imperial court. Later, Yizhou was initially decided, and the soldiers competed for the treasures in Liu Zhang's treasury, resulting in a shortage of military resources, and Liu Bei was very worried. ”
