Chapter 141: Emperor Wu Sun Quan
The 10,000 Han troops stationed in Heyang were worthy of being veterans trained by Wei Yan in Hanzhong, and it took only two hours for the Han army to arrive on the forty-mile road from Heyang to Linjin.
When Wei Yan panted and led his troops to the west bank of the river, the Han army defending on the bank was less than 100 people, but they were besieged by several times the Wei army and struggled to support. The rest of the Wei army led by Xu Yi took control of the beachhead, and advanced more than 100 steps, and began to arrange horses and traps, preparing to cover the crossing of Cao Hong's army.
Wei Yan was riding on the horse, and when he saw this, he was very anxious, and shouted urgently: "Where are Wang Ping and Gao Xiang?!" β
Wang Ping and Gao Xiang came out on horseback, and said loudly: "The end will be here!" β
Wei Yan's expression was serious, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "Order the two of you to lead two thousand troops each, immediately kill and disperse the Wei army in front, move away from the rejection horse, fill the pit, and clear the way for the army to charge!" β
"The last general commands!" Wang Ping and Gao Xiang immediately saluted Wei Yan with their fists.
"Where is Fei Yi?!" Wei Yan shouted again.
Fei Yi bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "The subordinates are here." β
"Let you lead your bows and crossbows to line up in place, and wait for my orders!"
"No!" Fei Yi received the order and also pulled out his horse and went to make arrangements.
"The ditch is not deep enough, dig deeper! Here, here! Fences and horses need to be rejected! On the river beach, Xu Yi constantly patrolled back and forth across the knife, he had no time to care about the life and death of more than 100 stubborn Han troops, the Wei army crossed the river only partially, and the more than 10,000 main forces led by the general were still on the east bank of the river!
He had to seize all the time to arrange defenses and build a walled city on this side of the river, in case of reinforcements from the Han army who saw the support of the wolf smoke, so as to improve the safe and calm conditions for Cao Hong to cross the river, and avoid suffering the fatal blow of the half-crossing attack.
But when Gao Xiang and Wang Ping led the 4,000 Han troops who arrived tiredly to attack the dead soldiers of the Wei army on the river beach, there was not even a shadow of the wall.
"Oops, it's too late......" Strange that the Han army arrived so quickly, Xu Yi felt a trace of bitterness in his heart, turned around and grabbed the military Sima next to him, and shouted: "Quick! It's too late, blow the trumpet quickly, and inform the rear general on the east bank to hurry up and force the crossing. The lieutenant went to delay him, and it was up to him whether he could hold out until the army landed! β
After speaking, Sima who kicked his legs in the air and threw him on the ground, Xu Yi pulled out the ring knife on his waist, a trace of pathos flashed in the tiger's eyes, and he actually shed tears: "The eldest husband was born in the army, and he should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements and serve the country. β
"What I have tried to do is why I die!" Xu Yi's face was resolute, tears flowed down his face, and after three long sighs, he rushed towards the Han army with a knife, and said heartbreakingly: "If you are not afraid of death, come with me, I will take you to dare to die first!" β
Behind Xu Yi, hundreds of dead soldiers held halberds and swords, their expressions were resolute, and they died generously and calmly. Behind them, a low and passionate horn burst into the sky, and in an instant, it resounded over the banks of the ancient Yellow River.

When the Han and Wei armies fought desperately on the west bank of the Yellow River in Zuo Feng Yi and Linjin, the court of Wu in the far southeast was not calm, like an exploding oil pot, boiling.
The reason is that Emperor Sun Quan of Eastern Wu insisted on sending an envoy to cross the sea with troops and treasures to Liaodong despite the opposition of his ministers, and canonized Gongsun Yuan, who had seized Liaodong, as the king of Yan.
It is said that this year, after Sun Quan ascended the throne as emperor in Wuchang, he swore an oath with Shu Han to participate in the world - it was agreed that the four states of Henan, Qing, Xu, and Youzhou belonged to Wu in the east, and the four states of Yan, Hebei, and Liang belonged to Shu in the west. The land of its Sizhou (Sili School Captain Department) is bounded by Hangu Pass and divided equally.
In order to fulfill the covenant, Sun Quan left the general Lu Xun and the general Zhuge Jin to assist the crown prince Sun Deng to guard Wuchang, and he led the ministers and hundreds of officials to build a business, coveting the counties of Huainan and Xuzhou in Wei State. And Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Sun Quan ordered Zhuge Jin of the public security to send troops to Xiangyang as a containment, but Sun Quan in the east did not dare to really do it.
Because from the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) when Sun Quan launched the first Battle of Hefei, for twenty years, the Wu army did not take much advantage in front of the Wei army's Yangzhou defense line, on the contrary, it suffered a lot.
Zhang Liao is full of favors, Li Dian is happy, and the food of the ancestors and grandchildren are all thanks to Sun Quan's hard work in Hefei. It's pitiful, the only foreign war achievement that the old guy can do in his life, except for attacking and killing Huang Zu and avenging his father, is to capture Jingzhou, or because when he formed a united front with Liu Bei against Cao Cao, he launched the Jingzhou Mutiny without authorization and attacked his allies. Reputation withered, obtained by despicable means.
Intimidated by the strength of the Wei army, Sun Quan set his sights on Liaodong County, which was in the rear of Wei and bordered the Bohai Sea. It happened that Gongsun Yuan took the position of Liaodong Taishou of his eunuch uncle Gongsun Gong, and he was afraid that Wei Ting would punish him, so he took the initiative to send Sun Quan to Nantong.
It's okay now, Sun Quan has already had this intention, and finally the stinky fish is looking for rotten shrimp, and Wang Ba looks at mung beans. Like a fish in water, they hit it off, and since then, Dongwu has hooked up with Liaodong.
First, Sun Quan sent the general Zhou He and others to sail to Liaodong.
Gifts were exchanged, and Gongsun Yuan sent the school captains Su Shu and Lang Zhong to order Sun Zong to be a vassal to Eastern Wu, in an attempt to rebel against Cao Wei with Sun Wu as the foreign counter.
In return for the peach, Sun Quan decided to canonize Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan and cited it as an aid to Austria.
Danyang County, Jianye, Taichu Palace
On this day, the forty-sixth Emperor Sun Quan of Eastern Wu wore twelve crowns on his head, wearing the uniform of the Son of Heaven, and the civil and military ministers of the conference were in the main hall of the palace - the Shenlong Palace.
In the sound of bells and drums, the three princes and nine kings, and the civil and military officials slowly entered the hall in order, and after worshipping and kowtowing and shouting long live, the emperor was exempted, and the ministers got up and knelt on both sides of the hall.
"Liaodong is too guarded by Gongsun Yuan, and he is honest and courteous. I want to canonize him as the king of Yan, so that he can sneak attack the rear of the Wei State and echo my Great Wu, and list him as a minister, what do you think? Sun Quan asked condescendingly, his voice a little cold, indicating that he didn't want to hear the ministers' objections.
Recently, the news of the successful Northern Expedition of Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang reached Jiangdong, and the entire Wu State was in an uproar, and the Wu army repeatedly made a northern expedition from Xiangyang, Fancheng, Wuchang, Jiangxia, Huainan and Guangling, all of which returned in vain, working the people and losing money, and did not want Shu to succeed in a single division!
This made Wu Guo's heart very uneven, and his eyes were red, and the reddest of them was Sun Quan.
Xiaoyaojin, the shame of Zhang 800 breaking Sun 100,000 is right in front of him, the names of Zhang Liao and Li Dian can stop children from crying at night in Dongwu! But the Shu army actually recovered Guanzhong, the hometown of the Han family, where did he put Sun Zhongmou's old face?
"Your Majesty, the humble minister thinks it's inappropriate, please think twice." As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, the prime minister, Ping Shang Shushi, and Gu Yong, the Marquis of Liling, who were at the head of the ministers, had already left the class to worship and fell under Danqi.
Gu Yong succeeded Sun Shao as the prime minister of Eastern Wu, and after succeeding as prime minister, Gu Yong imitated the governing methods of the early Han Dynasty, and when choosing civil and military generals, he must choose a competent one, and never choose it based on personal preferences. And once assigned, he will entrust them wholeheartedly.
In the past few years, there have been many Kuang Bi auxiliary actions.
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Yuan abolished his uncle and stood on his own, far away in Liaodong, and his faith was not yet written, so he took the liberty of sending an envoy to Liaodong with soldiers and rare treasures, which is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and seeking skin with the tiger." Gu Yong is a handful of old ministers, white-bearded ministers, holding a wat board in his hand, and tried his best to advise: "The ministers are worried about Your Majesty, they will never return!" β
"The prime minister's words are reasonable, and the old minister seconded the proposal, and the old minister implored His Majesty to take back his order." In the train, another trembling old minister came out of the ranks, but it was General Fu Wu and Louhou Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao knew that as an old minister of Eastern Wu, he had been ordered by Sun Ce to assist the young lord Sun Quan in the year of the weak crown, and he had always been a confidant, only because of the battle of Chibi in which he was the main lord of Cao was conceived by the lord, and he has been constantly belittled over the years.
However, although he was coldly treated by the lord and did not wait to see him, the minister's sincere enthusiasm for Soochow has not changed. I still have to say what I should say.
Zhang Zhao involuntarily glanced up at the high emperor, but the lord who was approaching the year of the Mandate of Heaven gradually lost his determination to forge ahead in the early days of the succession, and began to be greedy for vanity, so he rejoiced.
The monarch and the ministers have worked together for more than 20 years, how can Zhang Zhao not understand that the reason why the emperor is stubborn is not only because he is interested in the northern expedition of Shu and wants to open up the situation between Jianghuai and Huai, but also because of his vanity. The lord was forced to accept the canonization of Cao Pi by the situation King Wu, and Cao Wei was the right one, and now there are vassals who are willing to accept the title of King Yan of Eastern Wu, and the Wu State in the south of the Yangtze River is orthodox, doesn't it show the destiny of Great Wu and the great virtue?
"The Prime Minister's opinion, please forgive the officials for disagreeing!" A shrill male voice sounded, and the Chinese book ordered Sun Hong to bow down and said: "My Great Wu Yingtian was ordered, Your Majesty was born in the southeast, was on duty, inherited the Qianbingrong, and became the Son of Heaven." Gongsun Yuan conformed to the general trend and came thousands of miles to vote, so he should be appeased, how could he be expelled from the door according to the prime minister's opinion! β
Seeing Shangguan Sun Hong's opinion, he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and he was not afraid of the identities of Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao's heavy ministers, Lu Yi also went out of class to worship and said: "As Sun Zhongshu said, the emperor Dawu, all countries come to congratulate." Gongsun Yuan claimed to be a vassal in Wu, which is actually a clear proof that my great Wu is strong and prosperous, and foreign enemies are obedient. Your Majesty should send an envoy to cross Liao as soon as possible to demonstrate the great kindness of my Emperor Wu. The Chinese Dictionary School Langchen was stunned and sincerely frightened, and I implore Your Majesty to send an envoy quickly to comfort the distance! β
Lu Yi's words were fierce and sincere, and after speaking, he leaned over and shook it to the end, never getting up again, looking like he was respectfully asking for the holy judge.
Although only the secretaries of the Inner Dynasty such as Zhongshu Ling and Zhongshu Dian Xiaolang spoke out in favor of him, and there was no public support, Sun Quan also decided to terminate this court discussion in advance, and then continue until the Jiuqing and generals of the outer dynasty all spoke out against it, the situation was not good, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.
"I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anything!" Sun Quan made a final decision, and stopped Shaofu Wucan, Wei Wei Yan Ji, Zuo General Zhu Ju, and former General Zhu Huan, who wanted to go out to the class to state their opinions, clapped their palms, and said to the attendants: "Announce the edict." β
The Emperor's Edict:
I am not virtuous, I accept the destiny of the Yuan, and I am conscientious all night, not to mention the rest of the sleep. Thinking about the difficulties of the world, relieving Li Shu, answering the gods, and comforting the people. It is to be dependent, diligent and diligent, and will work with the strength to determine the sea. Gou is in the same heart and grows old with it. Today, the 170 counties of 17 counties in Youzhou and Qingzhou are the kings of Yan, and the governor of Youzhou leads Qingzhou to lead Liaodong Taishou as before. King Yan has been a thief for a long time, separated by one side, although he is concerned about the country, his road is fateful. Today, because of the mandate of heaven, two envoys are sent from afar, the sincerity is revealed, the chapter is diligent, I have this, what a joy! Although Tang met Yiyin, Zhou won Lu Wang, and the ancestor was undecided and got the right side of the river, how could it be too much today? The whole world is unified, so it is decided. The book is not cloudy, 'one person has a celebration, and the people rely on it'. Its amnesty to the world, with the beginning, its Ming Xia Prefecture, Xian made it hear. Specially under the Yan Kingdom, Feng'en proclaimed the edict, so that the whole world led the land to prepare for Siqing.
ββHuanglong's edict in the winter and October of the first year
This edict was drafted by Hu Zong, the marquis of Shizhong and Duxiang, and in fact, many of Sun Quan's edicts, appointment documents, and letters to neighboring countries after Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong were written by Hu Zong.
After so many years of career as a royal literati, day and night, Hu Zong naturally knows the urine nature of his own master - he likes ornate edicts, likes to pretend to be forced in front of foreign countries and his subordinates, and he is not happy.
The feudal kingdom of the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty was only one county, and the princes and kings only ate rents and taxes and did not govern the people, but in this canonization edict, Sun Quan was extremely "generous" to Youzhou, Qingzhou, seventeen counties under the rule of Cao Wei, a total of one hundred and seventy counties, and Hou Guo were all enclosed as the land of Yan - anyway, I don't want money, of course, how cool and how to seal.
And also shamelessly let Gongsun Yuan "supervise Youzhou to lead Qingzhou to lead Liaodong Taishou", the first seven words should be a fart, but the post of "leading Liaodong Taishou" in the back still has some gold content, but his maiden Gongsun Yuan was originally Liaodong Taishou, and he didn't even buy the account of the Central Plains Wei State, and he still needed you Dongwu to appoint?
