The six years of China have been quite peaceful for the people, and most people think that this year, like the previous year, will not have any major changes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And that's exactly what happened. But for those who eat meat, the series of events that have happened in the past six years in China is extremely shocking.

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings! The stability of the world has only been in the past few years. The war was fast approaching. "Most meat-eaters are aware of this. In fact, they all understood that if war was going on, it was already going on. It's just that what is being waged now is a war of intent and contingency between all sides, rather than a battle of swords and guns. Although there is no trace of anger, the danger and the impact on the world are no longer under the real war.

On November 10, the sixth year of China, Li Sheng took Li Wen and Deng Zhi, the servants of the Ministry of Rites of Zhongshu Province, as his chief and deputy envoys, and set out from Qinzhou under the escort of Zhao Tong, captain of Chengwu and Zhao Guang, captain of Zhaowu, and went to Jianye on the warship of the Nanyang Fleet to envoy to Soochow. By 20 October, when the ships arrived in the waters outside the Dongwu Jianye, more than 200 warships of the Nanyang Fleet lined up, but they made the appearance that they were going to attack Jianye. For a time, Jianye's inside and outside the city were like chickens flying and dogs jumping. On the periphery of the Nanyang Fleet, the Quanzhou naval division of Soochow that rushed immediately also lined up. The two fleets are facing each other outside Jianye, and there is something like a war is about to break out.

“…… What exactly is Li Sheng going to do? Didn't they say they were here to ask for a kiss? How do you do something that looks like this? For such a tense situation, Sun Quan was stunned, the ministers were stupid, and a question that arose invariably stuck in their hearts gave them a headache. Some of them even suggested to Sun Quan to "move the capital" to evade the might of Li Shengjun. After all, in the face of so many gunboats of the Tang Nanyang Naval Army, although Sun Quan was protected by two naval armies, the Jianye Naval Army and the Quanzhou Naval Army, he still couldn't speculate. The incident that happened more than ten years ago is still fresh in their memory, and they don't want to see what happened back then happen in front of their eyes. They are very afraid of Li Sheng's navy's combat strength, even if they have their own navy, they usually can't stop shouting "Lao Tzu is the best in the world."

“…… Alert! Alert! In addition, send someone to ask what Li Tang wants to do. "There are still a lot of capable people in Jiangdong, and their master Sun Quan is not stupid, after a short period of distraction, Sun Quan quickly made such a reasonable decision. Although there was still uneasiness in their hearts, they still calmed down, maintained the current situation, and dealt with those who dared to move the capital - where is the reason to retreat in a hurry before the fight is made? Even if we're afraid of each other, we can't be afraid of being like this. Although it is likely that you were frightened to say this, since the words have been spoken and listened to by everyone, then you must naturally bear it for it. The dispatch of the messengers and the drawing out of the unfortunate ones went hand in hand. In the following time, Sun Wu's side could only wait uneasily.

The result of waiting came out quickly, but the news brought back by this messenger made Sun Quan more uncomfortable than if he had lost the battle: "...... We! Just a vigilance for our envoys. ”

"What? Alert? What does this mean? Oh! In order to protect your mission, you directly drove the fleet that was enough to destroy our naval army, and you directly discharged the appearance that you were going to fight? Suddenly hearing this, don't mention the nest fire in Sun Quan's heart, but he can't do anything more. The Jiangzuo fleet, the most powerful fleet in his navy, is currently conducting exercises with his own pirate fleet in Xiaoliuqiu, a few hundred miles away, but it cannot come back for a while, and the Jianye Navy Division and the Quanzhou Navy Division, which are currently protecting him, are still inferior to each other, so that he is completely in a weak position under the threat of the other party. Such a situation, such a critical situation, if he Sun Quan can't endure it, he is afraid that his country will be ruined after this war. “…… Now is not the time to fight a big battle with Li Sheng. Sun Quan understands this very well. So, he could only endure it.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten......" Sun Quan had never heard such a thing, and he couldn't say such a classic summary, but he really knew the meaning of this sentence. Although the other party's tone was very arrogant, he could only smile in the end, welcome Li Sheng's envoy group into the city, and then quickly meet Li Sheng's two envoys in the main hall.

Li Sheng's two envoys: it is making Li Wen look very young, and he is in his early twenties, and he has a bit of grandeur and grandeur; However, the deputy envoy Deng Zhi is graceful and elegant, with the loyal bearing of an elder, which makes people feel that he is very good at talking. For these two people, Sun Quan understood their role just by looking at them: "It's just black and white faces." The young Li Wen plays a black face and plays with arrogance. The older Deng Zhi dressed up with a white face and played loyally. Drink...... It's really funny. But if it weren't for the fact that we are not as strong as you now, I would have driven you out of the city by scolding you a long time ago. Hmph, now I'd like to see what you have to say. Sun Quan thought so, and didn't say anything anymore, just sat on it lightly, calmly watching Li Wen and Deng Zhi salute him. As a monarch, he categorically had no chance of standing up to meet them. The king of a small country, no matter how small or weak, is still a "king".

Everyone in the main hall stood still, and the routine question and answer between Li Wen and Sun Quan began. There's not much to say about that. It's just that Li Wen greeted Sun Quan on behalf of Li Sheng, and Sun Quan asked Li Wen to say hello to Li Sheng. After greeting each other like this, the two of them finished saluting, and Sun Quan asked about Li Wen's current matter. Although he already knew what Li Wen came here for, Li Wen hadn't opened his mouth at the moment, he still pretended not to understand anything and asked, "I don't know, why is the envoy here?" ”

"There are two main things for the foreign ministers: first, to ask Emperor Wu a few questions from His Majesty for my family; The two are for my prince to seek a marriage from Emperor Wu. Li Wen said with a flat face. He spoke calmly, and his words were like a veteran. If it weren't for the blush on his face that flashed when he said the last point, Sun Quan understood his immaturity in Sun Quan's eyes, and I was afraid that Sun Quan would really think that he was a sophisticated genius.

"Oh? Are you just doing these two things? Sun Quan already knew a little bit about Li Sheng's intentions, and at this moment he didn't hear anything different from what Li Wen said, so he smiled slightly and put his mind at ease, "The second thing I have already understood, and let me discuss it later, and I can also give you an answer." It's just that I still don't understand this first thing, and I ask the envoy to give me some explanation. ”

"Hmm!" Li Wen nodded understandingly, but said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing." There's just one thing we don't understand. Eleven years ago, we signed the Jiangnan Alliance here and promised to join forces to fight against Cao Wei, but now eleven years have passed, and this alliance has not been dissolved. At this time, we heard the news that His Majesty was going to marry his children to Cao Wei and form an alliance with Cao Wei. This is really earth-shattering, and it also makes us wonder. I don't know, does Your Majesty have any explanation for this? If it's just a solo marriage, we don't have much to say. It's just that in addition to this marriage, we heard that His Majesty exchanged shipbuilding technology with Cao Wei's artillery technology, which is really hard not to make us suspicious. Is there any need for the covenant between you and me to continue? Whether or not you want to be hostile to us on this is the most important question for us at the moment. We look forward to a satisfactory answer from His Majesty. ”

"Hmm...... It's a thing! Although he already knew what Li Sheng was going to ask him, they were still discussing the answer to this question, and in the face of Li Wen's eloquent and calm questioning, Sun Quan was a little at a loss, he didn't know how to answer at all, and for a while, he froze there.

“…… Honorable envoy, what he said is not right. If we have formed an alliance with you, how can we easily break it? There is indeed a marriage with Cao Wei, but there is no alliance with Cao Wei. As for Cao Wei's claim that he obtained our family's shipbuilding technology, it is a lie, but they just swept away the drawings in our manor located in the south of Jianye City. We are a complete victim in this matter, and we are trying to ask your country to cooperate with us in recovering all these drawings. Sun Quan couldn't answer Li Wen's words when he got stuck over there, and Sun Quan's subordinates here were in a hurry, but one of them was very anxious, so he stood up and talked eloquently in that clear and young voice, but after a few words, he completely brushed this matter away. Although there are some rough points in it, it can be regarded as rigorous in a single word. When everyone heard this, they saw that the person who spoke was weak and handsome, but in terms of personal demeanor, he was not much worse than Li Wen, who was Zhuge Ke, the son of the general Zhuge Jin.

"Oh? Is there any misunderstanding in this? Li Wen looked at Zhuge Ke with a smile, but Deng Zhi behind him asked at this time.

"Of course it's a misunderstanding? The Venerable Envoy also understands people, and he should know that in the Three Kingdoms such as today, what is the strength of my Jiangdong? It's not that we are arrogant, it's because my Jiangdong's strength is the weakest of the three kingdoms. In particular, in the past two years, the navigation of our Jiangdong has shrunk under the influence of pirates, and the economy has been quite sluggish. In today's world, if the economy is sluggish, there is a shortage of money and food, and if there is a lack of money and food, the six soldiers will be sluggish. At this time, the Wei State suddenly came to force His Majesty to marry the princess and kiss him, and if he didn't say so, he would raise a large army to go south. For this matter, His Majesty was naturally not angry, but he was inferior and had nothing to say, so he had to agree humiliatingly. Your country is an ally of the Japanese state, and at this time you do not support our country to seek justice from the Wei state, but you stand outside our capital with sword soldiers and warships, this is not that our country is sorry for your country, but your country is sorry for our country. Zhuge Ke is really a clever and eloquent person, but in the blink of an eye, he found such an explanation for him and used it to counter Li Sheng's questioning.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? We didn't get any news about it. Alas...... You didn't say anything about it sooner. If you had told us earlier, we would have sent troops to help you immediately. At this moment, our Liaodong Front, Hanzhong Front, and Liangzhou Front have been preparing for a long time. If you need help, we can immediately attack in three ways and take down both Wei Zhiguan and Youzhou. Li Wen was very arrogant and said in high spirits. He didn't care about Cao Wei at all.

"Your Excellency's words are ...... wrong" Hearing Li Wen say this, Zhuge Ke raised his face and waved his sleeves heavily: "Everyone has their own self-esteem, don't we have the self-esteem of a country?" Although your country is an ally of our country, and your country is the strongest country in the world, even if this is the case, it is impossible for our country to entrust its state affairs to foreign countries so casually. Your Excellency has just said that it is too much. ”

"This ......" Li Wen seemed to want to say something more, but he stopped at the end - I saw Deng Zhi behind him gently pull his sleeve and signal him not to say any more.

"It seems that although this Li Wen is the main envoy among the envoys, the actual right to speak is in the hands of the envoy." The eyes of everyone in the main hall were focused on Li Wen and Deng Zhi. At this moment, although Deng Zhi's movements were small, they were still clearly seen by everyone. Everyone couldn't help but think so.

However, these are all secret things, although everyone understands that Deng Zhi is the biggest principal, but before Deng Zhi and Li Wen have not made things clear, what everyone wants to say and see, on the surface, they still need to look at Li Wen. Of course, at this moment, their eyes were on Li Sheng, but their ears were already on Deng Zhi's side. In their opinion, the next question may only be given by Deng Zhi's side before Li Wen will continue to say something.

Sure enough, Li Wen was silent for a while, and then Deng Zhi pulled his sleeve again, and he didn't know what kind of signal he was given, so he said: "Then the first thing is over." Since you insist on the self-esteem of your country, and what has happened, we can't say anything more about the issue of your country's reputation. We can only say that we understand this matter. It's just that I don't know if you will join forces with Cao Wei because of this matter? ”

"How could that be? We don't have a reason to betray the alliance. Sun Quan shook his head slightly, but he made a promise because of this.

"That's for the best." Li Wen nodded with a smile, but said with a strange smile on his face: "In order for your two countries to have a long-term alliance, I am ordered by His Majesty to formally submit a request for marriage on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my family. ”

"Huh? It's a thing. Naturally, I'm willing to say yes. But I still need to ask my children for their opinions. After all, I am also a father, and I also want my children to be happy. Sun Quan's eyes widened, and he shirked with a beard. He had more or less heard of Li Sheng, the emperor's more unique personality, in the current situation where his own national strength was not as good as the other party, and he was under the threat of the other party, Sun Quan, who had matured to the point of being much less sharp than back then, was slandering in his heart, and said such words with a smile on his face.

"Then we will stay here for the time being, and wait for His Majesty's reply to us?" Li Wen smiled slightly and asked Sun Quan to resign.

"Hmm. Good! Sun Quan nodded, and then instructed his courtiers: "Zibu, you can invite the two envoys to go down and rest." ”

"Obey." The old Zhang Zhao flashed out and saluted Sun Quan, and then took Li Wen and Deng Zhi out of the main hall, and went straight to arrange for them to stop and not mention it.

As one of the protagonists, Li Wen and Deng Zhi left, but the people in this hall did not disperse because of their departure. The first question, which was very unbearable, passed without danger under Zhuge Ke's discernment. Although both Li Sheng and Sun Quan themselves understood that the explanation was actually nothing, but judging from the current situation, what Li Sheng's side expressed was just a threat that would not sit back and watch himself throw himself at Cao Wei, and as for Li Sheng, who went further, he might not have that plan. Although there are some doubts about what Li Sheng's side wants to do, it is certain that Li Sheng's side really does not have the idea of fighting with him like this - this is good. So be it for the first question. Now the headache is the second question: what is our response to Li Sheng's marriage proposal?

"That...... Do we really want to agree to Li Sheng's marriage policy? You must know that we and Li Sheng will be enemies in the future. If Your Majesty marries the princess to Li Sheng, I'm afraid that something may happen in the future? Zhang Qiu said worriedly. His thinking is normal: that is, the enemy country cannot be a pro-country. If he marries the princess to Li Sheng's side now, and becomes an enemy of Li Sheng in the future, then the princess on Li Sheng's side will definitely be treated unfairly because of this, which he doesn't want to see.

"I know it's not good. It's just that the news of our marriage and alliance with Cao Wei has aroused Li Sheng's vigilance. If it were in peacetime, Cao Wei could send troops to deal with us, I wouldn't have taken this matter to heart. But at this special time, we will not be allowed to do so. In the face of Li Sheng's strength, I must give in. If we don't give in at this moment, I'm afraid we won't have the opportunity to laugh at the world in the future. Sun Quan said with a sigh. He seemed very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

In the face of Sun Quan's sigh, everyone was also unable to, when Lu Meng and Lu Xun in the court both went overseas to fight against the navy, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty could solve Sun Quan's worries, and Sun Quan couldn't help but become more and more bored, he wanted to say something more, but he heard someone say this: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to let Li Tang and Cao Wei fight, and let us wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman." It's just that this strategy is a bit vicious, I don't know if Your Majesty can accommodate it. ”

"Say it, say it!" Sun Quan escaped to the prestige, but saw that the person was Zhuge Ke, who had moved his own busy work today, he knew that he was very clever, and he was urging again and again at the moment.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the legend of Dong Zhuo's death in the past?" Knowing that his strategy was a little too much, Zhuge Ke didn't dare to explain it directly after all, so he had to mention it slightly.

Although Zhuge Ke did not make this matter very clear, as soon as he said this, everyone present thought about it slightly, but they also somewhat understood Zhuge Ke's thoughts: How did Dong Zhuo die, it was killed by Lu Bu. Why did Lu Bu kill Dong Zhuo? That's because Wang Yun used a beauty trick. first said that he gave the beautiful Diao Chan to Lu Bu, and then gave Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo, in order to sow discord between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, and finally caused Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo - although the real history they all know that it is unlikely to be the case, Lu Bu was originally an ungrateful person, but somehow this legend about a woman is popular in the world, and this strategy also has a very formal name: Beauty Serial Scheme.

"It seems that the strategy that Zhuge Yuanxun said is this 'beauty serial plan'. Is this really possible? "When the people understood this, they used their brains to think about it again, and found that it was really feasible if they did this, but they were still very reluctant to do it anyway." Zhuge Yuanxun? How can you offer such a plan to your lord? Use the princess to make a serial scheme? Even if you win the world, you will be ridiculed. This is not the right way to go. On the spot, someone admonished Sun Quan like this: "The minister participated in Zhuge Yuanxun's great disrespectful crime, and asked His Majesty to deprive Zhuge Yuanxun of his fame and expel such villains from the palace." When everyone heard this, they fled their reputation, but when they saw that the person who spoke was the old minister Yu Turn, they suddenly understood a little bit in their hearts: This Yu Turner is a disciple of the great Confucian Cai Yi, and he usually does not care about it anyway, and he is most unaccustomed to such a conspiracy. Although Zhuge Ke's strategy was very useful to his own lord, in Yu Yu's eyes, it was completely disrespectful.

"Uh...... That's right. Yuan Xun, do you have any justification for this? Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Ke with a complicated expression. As a sovereign, he knew the feasibility of Zhuge Ke's plan, and his heart was quite moved because of this. But this intention is always just an intention, if there is no opposition from Yu Tuo, he can also pretend to be deaf and dumb to agree, but Yu Tuo is against it after all, and he said it so righteously and strictly, this makes Sun Quan have to hesitate, to be honest, he is neither willing to give up such a great opportunity at the moment, nor willing to let himself have a bad reputation. The so-called "being a bitch and wanting to set up an archway" is exactly what it says, but all this is a very normal thing for Sun Quan. He is the lord and the emperor, and the emperor must be above board.

"Justification?" Zhuge Ke was slightly stunned but shook his head gently: "Actually, I have nothing to defend." It's just that I don't agree with Mr. Zhong Xiang's statement. Ceremonial things can be used for propaganda and internally, but it can easily become a bad thing when used against the enemy. Excessive respect for etiquette, but a bit like the former Song Xianggong, with the enemy for good, but the army was defeated and killed, this sincerity is not advisable. And even if it is my strategy, it is unbearable to say that it is unbearable, but if there is another explanation, it can still convince the people of the world. ”

"Oh? What else is the explanation? Sun Quan asked happily. When he asked this, he undoubtedly recognized Zhuge Ke's strategy. Everyone understands that Zhuge Ke's strategy is very practical, that is, it is not easy to say in terms of morality. It's just that this is not easy to say, but it is not very in their hearts, except for upright people like Yu Tuo, although everyone thinks that this plan is a little bad, but they can also agree to it, but the reputation after this strategy is not very good. At the beginning, Sun Quan hesitated precisely for this matter, and at this moment, hearing that Zhuge Ke actually had a solution, everyone naturally wanted to hear clearly what he wanted to say.

"Your Majesty can say bluntly to Cao Wei's side, this is because of Li Tang's persecution." Zhuge Ke said lightly, "Actually, this is exactly the case." The lord only has one daughter who is suitable for marriage at the moment, and it was originally promised to Cao Wei, but Li Sheng put on such a posture on this river to ask for marriage, what is this not persecution? ”

"That's what you can say. I'm afraid that Li Sheng's side won't believe it. Sun Quan said lightly. This is also true, it is okay to deceive outsiders, but it is not okay to deceive the people of the Cao family. Although he didn't know who exactly that person was in this hall, Sun Quan was almost certain that someone under his command was spying for Cao Wei or Li Tang. This is not a secret that is too hidden, and there are such people in any of the three countries. This seems to have become a kind of wordless covenant, and everyone does not touch such people, and uses such people to convey some news for themselves. Sometimes it's great, but other times, it's a nuisance, like now.

"Of course they won't believe it, and they'll definitely see through our ideas, but they'll accept our reasons anyway. Because they, like Li Sheng, just need a reason. 'The hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife' are the two major hatreds in life, and even ordinary people can hardly tolerate these two hatreds, let alone the king of a country on Cao Wei's side. If we sit down, then Cao Wei's side will definitely hate Li Sheng to the bone. Of course, with this strategy, the alliance between Cao Wei and my family will definitely be affected somewhat. Zhuge Ke made everything clear in a few words.

"That's a problem, too. But you don't really need to care much, do you? We and Cao Wei didn't have much of a real alliance in the first place, so where was there less defense against each other? You said that the most important thing is to make Cao Wei and Li Tang fight each other. Sun Quan still values this the most. He thought for a while and quickly made a decision: "Just do what Yuan Xun said!" This is in the best interest of our Jiangdong. ”

"But...... Your Majesty, this will be like walking a tightrope. Zhang Zhao frowned and said: "This is really too risky: one successful step is the situation in which we dominate the world, and one failed step is the shadow of our destruction." This is really ...... "As the boss of the moderate faction, Zhang Zhao thinks about more things, and naturally takes a relatively small step, and he instinctively feels inappropriate for this strategy of big success on the one hand and big failure on the other.

"Zibu doesn't need to worry about it. In the affairs of the world, there may be a stable way for the strong. But for those of us who are weak, being steady means losing opportunities. I don't want to waste my time, so I can only take risks. Prudence is a partial, and I am willing to go on with it. If you can't succeed in the adventure, then perish in the adventure. Sun Quan said categorically, by this moment he had thought everything clearly.

"Your Majesty has a point, but the princess is there!" Zhang Zhao couldn't go on. It was Sun Quan's eldest daughter Sun Wei who was used to kiss, and she was known as the first gentle beauty in Jiangdong, but this was only on the surface. An important minister like Zhang Zhao is familiar with several children of the Sun family, and he naturally understands that this Sun Wei is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is very assertive in her heart, so I am afraid that she will not agree to this strategy that is simply ruining her reputation.

"......" Hearing Zhang Zhao say this, Sun Quan was silent for a while, but raised his head again: "You don't need to worry about this matter. My daughter, I don't know yet? I'll handle this matter myself. There was a hint of sternness in Sun Quan's tone.

"Yes...... Wechen understood. Zhang Zhao nodded heavily, he could already hear the impatience in Sun Quan's words.
