Chapter 80: Deng Zhi's Envoy to Wu (2)
"Wu Shu is good with Qin and Jin, and they are allies and aid each other, and the widows also have the heart to fulfill the responsibility of allies. Just ......"
Deng Zhi knew that Sun Quan was talking about excuses, but he still arched his hand, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Zhi dares to invite the king, just what?" ”
"It's just that the world is fierce, and the years are restless. The army has been prosperous for a long time, the people have left the farm, and all industries have withered. The widow pities the countrymen, and is about to stop the army and recuperate. I don't plan to make a big deal in the next few years. When it comes to sending troops to help, I'm afraid I can't help it. ”
Sun Quan is not stupid, after thinking about it, he understands that Deng Zhi said that Xishu wants to use troops against Cao Wei is just throwing bricks and attracting jade, and there must be some mystery behind it.
If people don't move, I don't move. The appetite has been hoisted, and Sun Quan is ready to see what Deng Zhi is going to do tonight.
Deng Zhi said in a solemn voice: "The king's words are stolen by foreign ministers and the king is not taken. ”
"The king was originally a Han hussar general, the marquis of Nanchang, after the northern captives usurped the throne, because of the scoundrel of the current situation, he was committed to the thief and called the vassal in Wei, but the Wei thief was violent and let the king send protons, the king just wait for a while, Cao Pi crossed the river again and again to commit crimes, which can be described as too deceitful. Doesn't the king want to take revenge quickly? ”
"Northern Affairs...... The widow should be slowly drawing. Sun Quan continued to maneuver.
Deng Zhi showed a look of sudden realization, leaned straight towards Sun Quan, and said in a low voice: "The king is worried, after my country conquered the Central Plains, the king was once a thief, and he was faceless to face the Han family?" ”
Hearing Deng Zhi say this, Sun Quan looked annoyed, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shu Wu Alliance, the widow and your lord are equal and allied, although your country says that the Han Dynasty, but the widow is not the king of Wu of your country, I am neck and neck with the lord of Shu, and Wu is not subordinate to your country!" ”
Deng Zhi said: "Then why don't the king just honor the title, correct the name, and become the emperor's honor and I will be on a par with His Majesty?" Instead, he was willing to take the throne. ”
"It's because ......" Sun Quan was eager to argue, but choked for a moment.
Of course, he wants to become the emperor, but Dongwu is not like Cao Wei, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and his strength was strong; It's not like Xishu, which is known as the orthodoxy of the Han family. He divided the south of the Yangtze River and became a self-contained entity, but he was first the Han Dynasty and then the king of Wei and Wu. has not occupied the righteous name, if you take the liberty of becoming the emperor, there will be risks if the name is not right.
"This ...... The widow deeply felt that since the turmoil, the people have been in hardship, and they want to put the people of the world first......" Of course, Sun Quan would not say those words to Deng Zhiming, but only prevaricated.
Deng Zhi smiled, he understood the reason why Sun Quan was not proclaimed emperor for a long time, and said mysteriously: "The foreign minister has a plan, so that the king can be honored!" ”
"Oh!" Sun Quan's spirits perked up, and he immediately asked, "Will Ji An'an come out?" ”
Deng Zhi said: "Han and Wu stand side by side in the south to fight against Wei thieves, and if you join them, you will benefit both, and if you divide them, you will do two harms." The king was honored, and Han and Wu were the masters of the east and west, and they united with our Han Dynasty to destroy Cao Rebellion. The world is divided into two, the land of Henan, Qing, Xu and Youzhou belongs to Wu, and the land of Yan, Hebei, and Liang belongs to Han, with Hangu Pass as the boundary, and the land of Sizhou is divided into Sizhou! ”
Just the honorific number! Divide the world in two!
Sun Quan's pupils instantly constricted, and his body tightened, Deng Ai's strategy immediately resolved his embarrassing political position, and not only that, but also pointed out the direction for the further development and growth of Wu State.
Deng Zhi saw Sun Quan's change of color, knowing that this King of Wu was moved, he continued to enlighten: "Previously, the foreign minister asked the king to send troops to help our country, just because he wanted Wu to fight the Wei thieves with the Han and the east and west and carve up the world. This is not only beneficial to Han, but also to Wu. ”
Hearing Deng Zhi's remarks, for a while, Sun Quan almost wanted to agree to Deng Zhi immediately.
But in the end, he still held back and said to Deng Zhi: "Bo Miao, this matter is very important, although the widow is the monarch, he does not dare to rashly put the foundation of Jiangdong III in a dangerous situation, and he has to convene the minister to discuss, it is better for you to go back to the post house to rest first, and when there is news from the widow's side, then send someone to invite you to come to the collegiate discussion, how about it?"
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Deng Zhi got up casually, turned sideways and said, "So, I will say goodbye." ”
He believed that Sun Quan's result after consulting with the minister would not disappoint him.
Sun Quan personally sent Deng Zhi out of the ashram before returning to the table and sitting down.
After being silent for a while, he raised his head and shouted to the inner servant: "Quickly summon the prime minister and the auxiliary general into the palace!" ”
Soon after......
Lu Xun and Gu Yong hurried to the quiet room of the front hall and waved at Sun Quan, "King, you summoned your ministers and others into the palace late at night, what happened?" ”
Sun Quan glanced at Lu Xun and the others, motioned for them to sit down, and then spoke: "Bo Yan, Yuan Si (Gu Yong), a few quarters of an hour ago, I was here and Shu envoy Deng Ai cut candles at midnight, and had a long talk. ”
"What did the king and Deng Zhi talk about?" Lu Xun and Gu Yong glanced at each other and asked in unison.
"Xishu was ready to use troops against Cao Wei, and Deng Zhi persuaded Gu to be honored, and fought against Cao Wei with Xishu, dividing the east and west into the world. What do you think about this, two? Sun Quan's eyes flashed from time to time, and he was obviously very moved.
Lu Xun stroked his long beard under his chin and replied: "Xishu wants to start a war with Cao Wei, although this matter is a little sudden, it is also in line with the fact that Zhuge Liang is unwilling to sit in Shu, but after all, Wei is a powerful country occupying the Central Plains, so it is necessary to be cautious about the use of troops in Wei. ”
Sun Quan suddenly said: "What Bo Yan means is that when the Shu army completes the assembly, let's start assembling the army again, and then when the Shu army has gone deep into the north, let's follow the troops to attack Cao Wei?" ”
Lu Xun said: "This is exactly the case, otherwise, we are very likely to be attacked by the Wei army first." ”
Lu Xun was a man of great talent, and knew that if the Wu army followed the Shu army to assemble in the border area at the same time, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Wei army, and in order to avoid falling into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, the Wei army was very likely to send troops first, and try to defeat the Wu army, which was regarded as a key defense object, before the Shu army went north.
If this situation really happens, Wu Guoke will lose a lot.
Therefore, Wu Jun must not come out first, and if he wants to come out, he can only let Shu come first.
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Then it's decided, if the Shu army doesn't move, we won't move, if the Shu army moves, let's move again!" In this way, the Shu army will definitely attract a lot of attention from the Wei army, and I am afraid that it will not be able to pay a huge price, but our army will be able to benefit. ”
When Sun Quanzheng nodded in agreement, suddenly, Gu Yong's eyes narrowed, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, is it possible that Xishu also has the same idea as us?" ”
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it carefully, the situation that Gu Yong said was really likely to happen.
There is no shortage of people in Shu who can endure, Zhuge Liang is a generation of strategic masters, and it is impossible for others to think of things that Dongwu can think of.
Seeing that Sun Quan thought of this, Gu Yong continued: "If the Shu army and the Wu army each do not move forward, waiting for the other party to attract the attention of the Wei army for themselves, then it will become a whimsical fantasy to attack Cao Wei and divide the world together. ”
Hey?
Sun Quan found that Lu Xun mainly looked at the problem from a military perspective, while Gu Yong took into account the political perspective.
But in comparison, Gu Yong's suggestion is more pertinent.
