Chapter 934: Zhuge Jin's conditions
Guan Yu rejected Sun Quan's request for employment, in fact, this matter was indeed done too much by Guan Gong, and at the same time, through Zhuge Jin's remarks just now, not only did not dislike Zhuge Jin, but resonated with him, and there was a feeling of great happiness, the reason is that Guan Yu was too proud and domineering.
After undertaking Emperor Han Xian's return to Luoyang, Emperor Han Xian named Liu Bei as the king of Han, the three brothers are really one glory and one loss, it can also be said that one person has attained the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and occupies a vast area, after Guan Yu believes that Emperor Han Xian and the following ministers are all borrowing the light of their three brothers and eating the food of their three brothers. Especially in his heart, in fact, he doesn't look down on Zhuge Liang very much, so he is not convinced by Zhuge Liang.
Based on this proud mentality, every time Guan Yu went to Beijing to report on his work, he needed hundreds of officials to go out of the city to greet him. And every time he sat on the horse arrogantly, with a dead face, he was so grandly honored by the three princes and nine kings.
All people are about face, especially if you respect the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, you should respect the three princes and nine kings, even if you are just pretending to be face, everyone can bear it, but as a result, you simply ignore everyone, which is already unbearable.
The usually suppressed dissatisfaction was stripped out again and again by Zhuge Jin at this time, and the hundred officials under Liu Bei not only did not want to argue for Guan Yu, but had that feeling of being happy, and they couldn't say that someone finally stood up for themselves.
Liu Bei definitely didn't expect things to be like this, but since he had already asked Zhuge Jin to speak, there was no reason to beat people out, so it seemed that he was not magnanimous, not to mention that what people said was reasonable, and he had no ability to refute it at all.
At the same time, Liu Bei also felt very guilty in his heart, not guilty of others, but guilty of himself, he had long known that his second and third brothers were like this, but over the years, for the sake of a good reputation, he continued to endure, and finally fell into this step. I can't hold a grudge.
Looking at Liu Bei, whose face was getting darker and darker, Zhuge Jin's heart was really dripping with joy, when he first came, Lu Xun let him come, he really wanted to express the happiness in his heart now, and he couldn't wait to be able to completely express the entire grievances of the ministers of Eastern Wu, if it was said that Liu Bei was extremely ashamed and automatically withdrew the army, it was really his own great merit, and it was also a great fortune for the Sun and Liu families.
But in fact, he didn't know one thing, ambition was already dizzy, Liu Bei had such an excuse, and it was a huge loss to destroy Dongwu without justifiably.
At the same time, Liu Bei has now been reduced to the third level, he needs the land population of Eastern Wu to strengthen himself, this is the most fundamental, how can he completely withdraw the army by virtue of the so-called poor reasoning, this is what Liu Bei does not want to see, and Zhuge Liang does not want to do it, otherwise there is no need for Zhuge Jin to say, the wise Zhuge Liang should resolutely stop this expedition, and he will not personally lead his troops to attack Chai Sangkou.
This is Zhuge Jin, a nerd who doesn't understand the truth of things.
Looking at Liu Bei, whose face is getting darker and darker, Zhuge Jin still has to take the words back in the end, and if he continues to argue, it will not be to slap Liu Bei's face, but to wave his fist directly at his face. Angry, angry, embarrassed, these two idioms, everyone knows.
So Zhuge Jin said that his family was good: "Later, we worked together to attack Cao, and Cao Cao asked my lord to attack Jingzhou, but my lord was unmoved, so now Cao Wei is in a slump, isn't this my lord's generosity?" As for Lu Meng's discord with Guan Gong in the first place, this time you and Cao Cao jointly attacked me, can't I attack back to solve our predicament? Then he said regretfully: "Two soldiers are fighting, and it is inevitable that the general will be killed in battle, this is a natural thing, what is there to complain about?" After many years of fighting, countless relatives and friends died in the hands of the other party, and there were many people who died in the hands of Lu Peng, but I didn't see you to fight, isn't this weird? ”
This is the aggressiveness of the reason.
"Now the world has been in dispute for a long time, the people have been suffering for a long time, if the king of Han wants to restore the Han Dynasty, the remnants of Cao Wei are still there, and they need to be purged, and the ambitions of Lu Peng's wolf son need to be calmed in the north, if you want to achieve this goal, the only way is to continue the union of Sun and Liu, abandon the previous suspicions and unite with the outside world, if the king of Han has a heart, long live my lord, I am willing to go to the emperor's name, belong to the Han again, and work together with the king of Han to exterminate the two thieves and restore the clothes of the Han Dynasty."
Then Zhuge Jin said solemnly: "I can explain here in advance that my lord is only submitting to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, not surrendering to you Liu Bei." ”
At that time, the hall was in an uproar, and I really didn't expect that Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, would be like this.
Then Zhuge Jin didn't wait for Liu Bei to speak, and directly threw out his own conditions: "If the king of Han is angry about the death of his brother, my lord is willing to tie up the Han generals who surrendered to us and hand over Lu Meng, the culprit, to you." As the saying goes, there is a debtor and a debtor, and you can't ruin the world's plans because of the affairs of the people under your hands, and these people will be killed and saved by you when the time comes, but I can explain that your brother-in-law Mi Fang ran to Lu Peng, and we can't do anything. ”
Ma Liang saw that this matter really had a turnaround, and immediately went further: "What do you say about occupying my Jingzhou for no reason?" ”
Zhuge Jin turned his head and said, "Then what do you say about occupying my Lujiang and Jiujiang?" ”
Ma Liang was speechless, and he really regretted his mouth. As a result, I didn't expect Zhuge Jin to be full of sincerity: "In order for the two families to unite and jointly restore the stability of the Han Dynasty, my lord is willing to return Jingzhou, but there is one thing, you must also return Lujiang and Jiujiang to us." ”
This condition is too generous and reasonable, and Yi Ji is one step after him: "Since Sun Quan is willing to assist the Han Dynasty, in order to show his heart, he should enter Beijing to serve." ”
Zhuge Jin generously agreed: "Since he is a Han minister, of course, he will enter the court to assist the Han family, but please ask Adou, the son of the king of Han, to stay in Jianye as the Taishou, and we will assist in governing Jiangnan." ”
As soon as this condition came out, everyone once again fell into an embarrassing dilemma, everyone knew that as soon as Sun Quan entered the imperial court, his Jiangdong foundation was destroyed in an instant, and his life was in danger. Letting Liu Bei's son enter Jiangdong as a hostage can not only protect Sun Quan's safety, but also keep the safety of Jiangdong's courtiers, which is very reasonable.
But in this way, Liu Bei is equivalent to being pinched by Jiang Dong, is he willing to implement this method that is good for the world, please let his only son go into danger?
