Chapter 139: Jiangdong agreed, and Shu and Wu formed an alliance again

Just when Zhang Wen was under pressure and couldn't say anything about his suffering, at this time, Yu Jiangdong was the governor of Jiangdong, the Marquis of Jingzhou, and Lu Xun whose status was like that of Confucius in Shu, Lu Boyan said: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Wen called Shuzhong Shu Han, with the intention of elevating his status and belittling the king, but that was only a temporary strategy, in order to promote the alliance between the two sides, in essence, Zhang Wen is still a meritorious minister!" ”

"As for the name of Shu Han, it is just a name, and it does not mean that our Jiangdong regards it as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, after all, it is only Shu Han, in fact, it is just the king of the road, and the status of the king is equal to the most, and the king sits on the land of Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhou, and Shu is only a place in Yizhou, and it is cost-effective to exchange a name for the help of Shu, get rid of the uneasiness of the West, and it is cost-effective!"

Taking a heavy breath, Sun Quan said: "But Lonely's heart is awkward, our relationship with Shu is mixed with a little hatred after all, since Cao Pi forced the Han Emperor to take the throne, although those courtiers in Shu claimed that they were the orthodoxy of the Han family, but Lone never admitted it, he Liu Bei used the name of the emperor's uncle to coax the people, how could he coax Lone, he Shu this Han orthodox status, Lone does not admit it!" ”

Lu Xun smiled slightly, and persuaded: "The king doesn't have to be so angry, Shu Han, after all, Shu is in front, Han is behind, isn't it true that the king of the past often used the land as the title, the king recognized the name of Shu Han on the surface, and in private he regarded him as the king of Shu, and Liu Chan regarded him as the king of Shu!" ”

Listening to Lu Xun speak for himself, half of the stone in Zhang Wen's heart fell, after all, this is Lu Boyan, since the battle of Yiling, after saving the fate of Jiangdong, he has been intimate with the king, think about it, it is true that he is the only one who can speak for himself on the angry king.

In fact, the ancients often cared very much about this title, and the names of countries, emperors, and concubines often had a deep meaning in the simple composition of the name, and it also reflected the breadth and profundity of the Chinese characters.

However, Sun Quan was dissatisfied with Zhang Wenzun calling Shu Han Shu, in fact, in the final analysis, it was the reason for strength, if Shu was strong enough, then the result would not be like this, maybe Sun Quan was unwilling and angry in his heart, but he would endure it, and he would not be as dissatisfied as he is now.

How did Sun Quan Wu come to be called the king, it was not the former Cao Pi who called the emperor and the queen, although it was the king, but this throne was indeed given by Cao Wei, which also attracted a lot of hatred from Shu at that time, first there was the matter of Jingzhou, the death of Guan Yu, the death of Zhang Fei, and then there was Sun Quan's pro-Wei move, which finally attracted the anger of Shu, and the ancestor Liu Bei poured the power of the country and led 200,000 troops to the east.

Under the pressure of Liu Bei's army, Sun Quan knew that it was impossible to negotiate peace with him, and the strength of Wei was also stronger than that of Jiangdong, so he had to bow to Wei and accept the title of King of Wu.

In ancient times, reputation was very important, and if the name was not right, many people could see it, but for the sake of fame, Cao Pi still did not dare to usurp the Han directly, but used persecution to make the Han Emperor Chan settle in himself, although this was just a show!

Cao Pi was called the emperor, the end of the Han Dynasty, at this time Liu Bei only agreed to the advice of the ministers, ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, for the sake of fame, even if the Han Emperor was in the hands of Cao Cao in the past, he was just a puppet, but the name of the Han Dynasty was there, if he was called the emperor, he would be a rebellion!

Lu Xun persuaded many times, Sun Quan's anger also disappeared a lot, according to Lu Xun's meaning, Zhang Wen was meritorious this time, after all, it was greatly beneficial to the Sun-Liu Alliance, and King Wu also rewarded Zhang Wen with five hundred taels of gold.

"Zhang Wen, you said that Shuzhong's economy is facing collapse, but he Zhuge Liang doesn't want a trace of copper ore and gold and silver when he negotiates, but wants to hand over the state iron ore?" Depressed, Sun Quan naturally paid attention to the other news brought back by Zhang Wen's envoy to Shu.

Zhang Wen said respectfully: "Back to the king, it is true!" The minister was also a little puzzled! I didn't dare to make a decision for a while, so I shirked and wanted to come back to tell the king and make a decision again! ”

"Hmm!" Sun Quan said in a low voice, it was Lu Xun's suggestion to recommend Zhang Wen to envoy to Shu, but this does not mean that Zhang Wen can agree to some of the requirements of the peace talks for Wu, if Zhang Wen really doesn't know how to make his own decisions, it is really useless for anyone to intercede!

"Bo Miao, what do you think about this?" But in all matters, Sun Quan will always ask Lu Xun first.

"Your Majesty, try to imagine that if the economy in Shuzhong is really as serious as Zhang Wen said, they don't need copper ore and gold and silver, there is only one reason, that is, they have their own copper mines, they really don't need it!"

"......" is such a simple truth? If you don't want it, it means you don't need it, as if this logical relationship is very correct!

"But if there is a copper mine in Shu, then how can the economy in Shu be as serious as Zhang Wen said, and the prices will rise to two or three times the normal price!"

"Moreover, there is still nothing to be said about Lonely! He Zhuge Liang doesn't want copper mines, but iron, isn't there anything different about the iron mines in my Jiaozhou? It's worth copper and gold and silver! ”

Lu Xun was also at a loss for this, yes, why do you want iron ore?

In order to find out the reason, Lu Xun even asked someone to bring a part of the iron ore research, combined with the description of the blacksmiths, it seems that the Jiaozhou iron ore is indeed a little different, these iron ores are very hard, it should be heavy, but the weight is only heavier than ordinary ores.

On top of that, according to the blacksmiths, this kind of iron ore is not easy to forge and is not suitable for crafting weapons, because the efficiency is slow and the quality is uneven.

The next day, the palace of King Wu.

Lu Xun reported all the information he had to Sun Quan, but the matter was not resolved, this information did not let them deduce what Shu Zhong wanted to do with these iron ores, but showed that these iron ores were not suitable for forging weapons, which made them even more curious, what the hell was Shu going to do.

"Your Majesty, since you can't find out anything, just forget it, after all, the Wushu Alliance is important! Cao Wei Ke has been eyeing him, and Cao Xiu of Shouchun is ready to move! ”

Sun Quan was a little unwilling: "If you don't figure out what Shu is going to do, you always feel that it's not a taste in your heart!" ”

"Your Majesty, I am here to explore but can't find the reason, why bother to shirk the alliance plan, it is better to form an alliance, when the first batch of iron ore enters Shu, we will investigate again, and then we will definitely have more news than you now!"

Sun Quan got up, paced on the stage, fell into contemplation, the audience, the ministers waited quietly, everyone knew that this decision would definitely affect the future situation of Jiangdong!

For a moment, I saw Sun Quan, who was dressed in a splendid robe, turn around violently, and a heroic spirit instantly hit everyone in the audience, everyone knew that the king was afraid that he had made a decision, and the king when he made a decision was undoubtedly his most charming time.

"Agree to the conditions of Shuzhong, but Shu must ensure that it is in line with the east and west of my Jiangdong, reject Cao Wei together, and must not be treacherous and seek other benefits! In this way, I, Jiangdong, have formed an alliance with it! ”

Hearing this, all the officials knelt down together.

"The king is wise!"

After fifteen years, Shu and Wu joined forces to resist Cao again, and the Three Kingdoms era then turned into a confrontation between the north and the south!
