Before Sun Quan united with Cao Pi, they were not completely without contradictions, after Cao Pi gave up Xiangfan, Sun Quan once sent the general Chen Shao to take the opportunity to seize it, and then Cao Pi repented and recaptured Xiangfan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, although Cao Pi recognized Sun Quan's submission, and did not take the opportunity to go south during the Battle of Yiling, but the cooperation between the two sides has been problematic, Sun Quan successively arranged Zhao Shi and Shen Heng to envoy Wei, but both of them mentioned to Sun Quan after returning to prepare for war, and the alliance between Cao and Sun was only expedient in the final analysis.

【Xiangfan Chaos】

After Guan Yu retreated, there was actually a follow-up to the Battle of Xiangfan, when Lü Meng captured Jiangling, and Sun Quan then arrived and was stationed in Jingzhou. After Cao Cao's death, the courtiers believed that Fancheng and Xiangyang lacked food and could not resist the Wu army, and asked the guard to return Cao Ren to Wancheng.

Sima Yi said: "Sun Quan has just defeated Guan Yu, and it is when he wants to get along with Wei State, he must not dare to do it. Xiangyang is an important place for land and water transportation, and it cannot be abandoned. Cao Pi did not listen to his suggestion and ordered Cao Ren to set fire to the second city of Xiangfan. Later, Sun Quan really did not come to invade, and Cao Pi regretted it.

But after Sun Quan saw that Xiangfan Cao Pi did not want it, he sent a general named Chen Shao to take the opportunity to occupy his place, Cao Pi in order to make up for his mistakes, so he sent Cao Ren and Xu Huang to crusade against Chen Shao, defeated him, and recaptured Xiangyang, Cao Ren also sent his general Gao Qian and other uncivilized people who migrated to the south of the Han River to the north of the Han River.

In history, Guan Yu beat Xiangfan to death, and finally even lost his own life and failed to knock down any of the cities in Xiangfan. However, at that time, after Sun Quan offended Liu Bei, he no longer dared to offend Cao Pi, so although he took Xiangfan, he only sent a young general from beginning to end, and the basic attitude was to take advantage of it, and it didn't matter if he couldn't take it, so later the second city of Xiangfan was easily recaptured by Cao Pi, and the chaos in the Xiangfan area really came to an end.

【Zhao Counselor Wei】

After Sun Quan became a vassal of Cao Pi, he successively sent Zhao Shi and Shen Heng as envoys to Wei to thank Cao Pi.

Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the governor of the capital to fight against Liu Bei, and at the same time sent the governor Zhao Shi to envoy to the state of Wei. At that time, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi asked Zhao Zhi: "What kind of monarch is King Wu?" Zhao replied, "He is a wise, benevolent, and eloquent monarch. Cao Pi asked him about the specific situation, and Zhao Zhi replied: "It is his cleverness to use Lu Su from the ordinary class; It was his wisdom to promote Lü Meng among the ordinary soldiers; It is his mercy to be captured and forbidden but not killed; It is his wisdom to capture Jingzhou without bloodshed; It is his talent to occupy the land of three states and look at the world; It is his strategy to bow down to you. ”

According to the "Book of Wu", Zhao Zhizi Dedu, a native of Nanyang, was well-read and well-read, and responded to the defense of Jie, Sun Quan was named the queen of Wu, promoted him to the middle doctor, and sent him as an envoy to the Wei State. Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, asked him, "Is King Wu very knowledgeable?" Zhao Zhi said: "King Wu has 10,000 warships, millions of troops, appointing talents, aiming to govern the world, in his spare time, he reads the classics, reads historical books, absorbs the essence of the book, and does not follow the practice of foolish scholars, only in the book to find chapters and sentences to make articles." Emperor Wen asked, "Can Wu conquer?" Zhao replied: "The big country has an army to conquer the small country, and the small country has sufficient defense. Emperor Wen then asked, "Does Wu regard Wei as a calamity?" Zhao Zhi replied: "Wu has an army of millions, the Yangtze River and the Han River to protect the city, what other disasters!" Emperor Wen asked, "How many people like you are there?" Zhao replied: "There are eighty or ninety people who are particularly intelligent and knowledgeable; There are countless people like me. ”

At that time, Zhao Shi frequently sent envoys to Wei, and people respected him very much. Sun Quan also admired him when he heard about it, and worshiped him as a cavalry captain. Zhao Shi said to Sun Quan: "According to my observation, the north will not be able to keep the covenant in the end, today's plan, the imperial court has inherited the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and in response to the fortune of the southeast, it should change the name of the year, and the color of the dress should be in order to respond to the people of the sky." Sun Quan took his advice.

【Shen Heng envoy Wei】

Later, Cao Pi planned to crown Sun Quan's eldest son Sun Deng as a marquis, and Sun Quan used Sun Deng's young age as an excuse to write a letter of thanks, and re-sent Xi Cao Peng Shen Heng to thank him, and paid tribute to local specialties. In the same year, Sun Quan himself appointed Sun Deng as the crown prince of Wu and determined him to be his heir.

According to the record of "Book of Wu", Hengzi Zhongshan, a native of Wu County, Shaozong Jingyi, and Youshan Spring and Autumn Period. The right to Heng is resourceful and can be specialized, and it is to make it to Wei. Emperor Wei Wendi asked: "Wu suspects Wei Dongxiang?" Heng said: "No." He said, "Why?" He said: "Believe in the old alliance and reconcile with each other, so as not to dislike it." If Wei Yumeng has its own preparations. He asked again: "When the prince hears that he is coming, would he rather care?" Heng said: "The minister is in the Eastern Dynasty, the court does not sit, the banquet does not meet, if this is discussed, nothing is heard." "Emperor Wen is good, but he is close to himself, and he talks all day long. Heng responds casually and does not give in. Heng also said: "Liu Ye, who is a secret counselor, has set up treacherous schemes for thieves, and he will not be happy for a long time." When the ministers heard the old theory of the soldiers, they would not commit what they did not commit if they did not rely on the enemy, and they could not commit what they did if they did not commit it, and now they are worried about it by the court. and should save other services, but agriculture and mulberry to expand military resources; Boats and vehicles, increase combat equipment, and make all profits; to raise the soldiers and the people, so that each one may have his place; If you are handsome and reward soldiers, you can make a fortune in the world. "Known as an envoy, he was named the Marquis of Yong'an, and the official was at least the government.

【Expedient Combination】

Historically, the foundation of the alliance between Cao Pi and Sun Quan was very weak, to put it bluntly, Sun Quan begged to negotiate peace with Cao Wei, and Cao Pi just wanted to take advantage of it as much as possible, and the foundation of cooperation between them was not solid.

After Cao Pi ascended to the throne, the situation in the world has changed a lot, at this time the Shu Han group has lost Jingzhou, lost Shangyong and other places, and also lost Guan Yu and other outstanding generals, and the threat to Cao Wei has been greatly reduced. But for Eastern Wu, while they got Jingzhou, they also lost the qualification to wait and see, and in the face of Liu Bei's very likely retaliation, Sun Quan had to try to curry favor with Cao Pi in order to avoid a possible two-sided attack.

At the beginning of Sun Quan's alliance with Cao Pi, he was already in a passive situation, and Cao Wei, who had a big family, also had a great appetite, and Sun Quan was still a vassal of Cao Wei in name, so Cao Pi was very strong in the communication with Sun Quan's envoy.

Zhao Zhi and Shen Heng, as envoys, understand very well how fragile the union of the two is, Cao Pi's requirements are more and more, and Sun Quan can't satisfy him all the time, so the relationship between them will break down sooner or later, Sun Quan knows this, so his requirements for Cao Pi are to meet them if they can be satisfied, and if they can't be satisfied, they will be delayed.

After all, what Sun Quan was afraid of was Liu Bei and Cao Pi, not Liu Bei or Cao Pi, and when Lu Xun repelled Liu Bei, Sun Quan would have the capital to confront Cao Pi.

ps: This week should be able to end the Southern Expedition of Cao Pi's three-way army, which is almost the last big plot of this volume, and after Liu Bei's death, summarize it and prepare to start the next volume.
