Chapter 331 Sun Cao formed an alliance to fight against the Han, and Cao Cao was critically ill and competed for the throne

It is said that Cheng Yu came to Wu County in Dongwu to meet his close friend Zhang Zhao when he was young and discuss the alliance. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because during this time, Zhang Bao took Xiahou Yuan's daughter, and Xu Shu went to Huguan to pay a salute, and the folk legend was boiling. Lu Su and others had already heard about it, so they dissuaded Sun Ce, the king of Wu, to act cautiously.

Zhou Yu didn't think so, thinking that there must be something strange in this matter, otherwise how could this happen at this time? After all, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao were originally from the same clan. Therefore, he asked for the order to go down to inquire about the news.

On this day, Zhou Yu met with Cheng Yu in the mansion and asked him about the matter.

"Zhongde, do you know that Zhang Fei's son wants to marry Xiahou Yuan's daughter?"

"Is there such a thing? How did Gong Jin know? Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Now there is a lot of preaching among the people in my Wu country. You don't even know? Zhou Yu hurriedly asked.

Cheng Yu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and the alliance was complicated. He hurriedly said for Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, there must be something strange in it. A certain person immediately rushed to Huguan to find out the matter. Prime Minister Cao Cheng sincerely formed an alliance with Wu State, and also asked Gong Jin to say a lot of good words in front of King Wu. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said: "You should find out this matter as soon as possible, Fang is the greatest help for the alliance." ”

Cheng Yu said yes again and again, and then got up to say goodbye. Back at the inn, he packed up and hurried to Huguan with the servants. The people who accompanied him were Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, the chief historians of Eastern Wu.

The two traveled day and night, and arrived at Huguan two days later. Zhang Zhao sent people to meet Xiahou Yuan with Cheng Yu.

Xiahou Yuan learned that Cheng Yu was coming, and took Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Cheng and Xiahou Wei out of the mansion to greet them. Seeing Cheng Yu, he held Cheng Yu's hand with both hands and said, "How did Zhongde have time to get here?" ”

"A certain prime minister sent an envoy to Soochow to talk about an alliance! Before we could negotiate, there was an important matter, so I came to see Brother Miaocai first. Cheng Yu said bluntly.

Xiahou Yuan is such a smart person, he immediately knows what Cheng Yu said! He hurriedly said: "Zhongde, this matter is not the talk of folk rumors. Listen carefully to a certain word! ”

After speaking, please take a seat. He then recounted the past, and said in a sigh: "Since Xu Shu went out of the city, a certain son Zhongquan led the army to chase after him and was captured by him. Within two days, there was a rumor among the people that a certain son was sent to return the gift for the woman! Ay! How can I explain this to the Prime Minister? ”

"In this way, this is Zhuge Liang's countermeasure! The prime minister will understand. When Cheng Yu learned of such a thing, he comforted Xiahou Yuan while secretly soothing the worries in his heart.

Looking back at Zhang Zhao's entourage, he said: "In this case, this time I should return to Wu County to negotiate an alliance with Eastern Wu!" Brother Miaocai, I thought that Zhang Bao liked Ling Yuan, and he would not treat his sister and brother badly! You don't have to worry too much!"

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said nothing.

Cheng Yu then got up to say goodbye on the grounds of the alliance.

Returning to the inn, Cheng Yu and Zhang Zhao set off for Wu County. Along the way, Zhang Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard what people said, and said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Fei's son to be so powerful!" I didn't expect that Xiahou's daughter would be willing to obey him! ”

When Zhang Zhao told the ins and outs of this matter to Sun Ce, the king of Wu, and Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, Zhou Yu said to the king of Wu: "My lord, my subordinates think that this is Zhuge Liang's countermeasure!" Zhang Fei's son may have snatched Xiahou Miaocai's daughter, but what Xu Shu did was just a trick! Temporarily signing an alliance with Cao Gong will also benefit my Wu country, and there is no harm! ”

Sun Ce also thought so, so he looked at his younger brother Sun Quan and asked, "Zhongmou, why do you think?" ”

What Gong Jin said is extremely true. Brother should be resolute. Sun Quan said.

Sun Ce then sent Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and Cheng Yu to the Northern Qi Dynasty.

When Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao rushed to the Xindu of Qi with Cheng Yu, Cao Cao met in the side hall with illness and signed an alliance with the two. Since Wu and Qi were allies, they fought together against Han.

When Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he asked at the court meeting: "Zhuqing, the two kingdoms of Qi and Wu are both alliances, how should I deal with it?" ”

Zuo Prime Minister Zhuge Liang came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the first plan for today is to marry Zhang Bao, the general of Huben Zhonglang, and Xiahou Yuan, the daughter of Xiahou Yuan, the general of Qi Zhengxi. As for the alliance between Qi and Wu, it is just a fox and wolf friendship, and it is difficult to last long! ”

It seems that Zhuge Liang has won many battles over the years, and he has also developed an arrogant heart, and he is quite arrogant in his words.

However, what he said about Zhang Bao's marriage was indeed a matter of Emperor Hongwu's heart. Therefore, Emperor Hongwu made Youguang Luqing Fa to handle this matter for him, and even sent an envoy to Huguan to invite Xiahou Yuan's father and son to the banquet.

Xiahou Yuan wanted to kill him. The messenger said: "The general is famous, and today he actually killed the villain to vent his personal anger. The villain thinks that the general should not do this move in three ways! ”

"What are the three should not be?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"In private, a certain is made by Ling Yuan, and you should kill it, it should not be a parent; Yu Gong, the two countries do not kill each other, and you should kill them; In the heart, the general is powerful, a certain grass people, you kill him, for the world to laugh, for the love should not be. The messenger said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You have such an insight!" Xiahou Yuan was quite surprised when he heard this.

"This is the villain I sent to the left Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming, and the villain was afraid of death and did not dare to take the order. The prime minister then told the villain that he called the general, and the general would definitely let the villain live. The envoy said to Xiahou Yuan.

"Kong Ming! Kong Ming! Sure enough, the gods are too! I know a certain temperament, so let's do it! Although the old man is angry with Zhang Heitan's son, how can he even affect you as a messenger? Go! Xiahou Yuan laughed, and then let people go.

The envoy returned to the capital of Chang'an as scheduled.

Zhuge Liang calculated the auspicious day for Zhang Bao, and Emperor Hongwu, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qian, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and all the princes congratulated Zhang Fei, the king of Xiang, and Zhang Bao got his wish and married his wife Xiahou, who fell in love at first sight. And only one younger brother of Xiahou's maiden family was present. Xiahou Ba was persuaded by the Xiahou clan at this time to stay in the Xiangwang Mansion to protect his sister Xiahou. In the future, Xiahou Yuan moved his troops to Xuzhou to fight with Lu Xun, and Xiahou Ba saved his father alone, which is a later story.

The Han Dynasty's Chen army was on the eastern front, so that Qi and Wu both sent generals to guard the border between the two countries to prevent the Han army from attacking. Emperor Hongwu was bent on recovering the Han Dynasty, but his education and ideology were to do what he could, and he must not be useless! Therefore, when there was no real opportunity, or when the treasury was not sufficient to a certain extent, he simply sent the border guards to harass the enemy's border cities from time to time, and for several days they fought for a few days, and then returned to recuperate. As a result, Zhang Ren, the governor of the Jiaozhou army and horses, actually captured Shixing City, and sent the Jiaozhou army to the three cities of Lingling, Guiyang, and Shixing.

Zhou Yu, the military and civilian governor of Wu, had to send a large army to Hengyang and other places to garrison, and Lu Xun, the new general of the Wu army, led the troops to Shixing to recapture the city.

Who knew that Xu Yang, the deputy governor of the Han army and the military horse of Jiaozhou, and the Chen army outside the city, killed five or six generals under Lu Xun in a battle, and then refused to fight in the city.

Half a month later, Xu Yang sent his cavalry to intercept Lu Xun's grain transportation team; Zhang Ren commanded more than 10,000 troops under the command of Zhou Yong, a cavalry general, to attack Xu Yang and defeat Lu Xun's troops.

Lu Xun was defeated, and Zhou Yu made the army garrison in the Yanping area.

Between the three kingdoms, they were in a state of recuperation.

However, there seems to be no moment of calm in the world. The war between the three kingdoms came to an end, but a fire broke out in the backyard of Qi again.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Cao Cao's bullying behavior became increasingly revealed.

In the autumn hunt of September, Yuan Qian, the son of heaven, took a bow and shot a deer and missed. Cao Cao snatched his bow and shot it, and the deer hit his arrow. All the soldiers shouted long live, and Cao Cao stood in front of the little emperor Yuan Qian and suffered from it. The little emperor dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

At the end of the year, Cao Cao made Xun Yu force the palace, canonized Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, added nine tins, and held the festival. Nowadays, Cao Cao is quite powerful in the Qi State.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Cao Cao established his eldest son Cao Ang as the prince, canonized him as a former general, and commanded the 100,000 forbidden army of Qi State.

However, Cao Ang was not born to Cao Cao's eldest wife, and his mother was the maid of Cao Cao's eldest wife, Ding, and was a concubine of Cao Cao. Because the Ding family had no children, he was raised by the Ding family when he was young. Later, Ding died and was put back to Cao Cao. He is quite proficient in Wen Taowu and is often alone in Cao Cao's side, and is loved by Cao Cao. It is also supported by Cao Cao's generals and strategists Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others.

His younger brother Cao Pi was born to Cao's wife Bian. Ding died, and Bian straightened up. Therefore, Cao Cao's eldest son should be Cao Pi. Therefore, Cao Pi often racked his brains for the position of the prince, and often cursed Cao Ang why he did not die on the battlefield. He had a deep relationship with Cao Cao's former advisers Xu You, Fu Zhu, Chen Lin and others, and often asked him for advice.

Therefore, Cao Ang and Cao Pi secretly competed for favor. Even many of Cao Cao's sons were led by the two and divided into two parties. Cao Zhang and Cao Xiong were born to Mrs. Bian together with Cao Pi, but they stood on Cao Ang's side. And Cao Pi is all those brothers who like to dance and write on weekdays, and his brother Cao Zhi is the leader, such as Cao Lin, Cao Gon, Cao Cheng, Cao Quan, Cao Jing, Cao Jun, Cao Jian, Cao Hui, Cao Mao, etc. On the side of Cao Ang, there are those who like to dance with knives and guns on weekdays, led by Cao Zhang, such as Cao Shuo, Cao Xiong, Cao Chong, Cao Ju, Cao Yu, Cao Shang, Cao Biao, Cao Qin, Cao Qi, Cao Jun, Cao Ju, Cao Gan, etc.

At the end of the year, Cao Cao contracted a vicious disease, and the treatment was ineffective. Cao Ang succeeded the Duke of Wei, led the forbidden army to force the palace, and made the little emperor Yuan Qian crown Cao Cao as the king of Wei and perform the emperor's funeral.

Because Cao Ang held the power of the army, Cao Pi bowed his head to Cao Ang to show his submission.

Cao Ang accepted his use.

When Emperor Hongwu heard the news that Cao Cao had died of illness, he was overjoyed, so he went to Qianning Palace to ask Emperor Taishang to send troops to fight Cao.

Emperor Liu Qian made it clear that the world is your world, and the emperor should take the world first; What is a country if the country is not in order, and how should you rule the world?

Emperor Hongwu then made Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Zuo, take command, and made Xu Mo, Han Fei, Xue Li, Tu'an, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Zhao Tong deputy generals, commanding 150,000 troops, entering Yuzhou, leaving Wuping, and attacking Liang County and Shangqiu of Qi State.

He also made Zhang Xiu, the governor of Yuzhou's military and horses, raise troops to attack the two counties of Tuzhong and Linhuai in Wu State.

He also made Huang Xu, the governor of Jingzhou's army and horses, raise troops to attack Wu, Hanyang, and Wulin.

He also made Zhang Ren, the governor of the Jiaozhou army and horses, raise troops to attack the Luling of Wu State.

He also made Ma Chao, the governor of the state army, raise troops to attack Huguan of Qi and the Great Wall of Zhongshan.

The three forces coexisted peacefully for three years, and the Han Dynasty once again went out to attack the two kingdoms at the same time. It is the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang who proposed that the strength of the army should be attacked by dividing, and the enemy should also be divided and the enemy should be divided, so it is strong and weak!
