Chapter 259 sent the two kings to conquer Jiaozhou and sent a large army to attack Luoyang

In the last book, it was said that Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang with Zhuge Jin's letter and explained his intention to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang had long heard of Jiangdong Zhoulang's reputation, and it was really extraordinary at first sight.

After listening to Zhou Yu's request, Zhuge Liang understood in his heart: The lord of Jiangdong is a person with great wisdom! Superficial submission can guarantee his vassals, and even expand his territory with the help of the power of the new emperor!

As the saying goes, you lie to me, I lie to you, I deceive, who is whom?

This is true between countries, between groups, and between mutual interests.

That's what people are.

Therefore, the predecessors said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. And the rivers and lakes are originally an environment of deceit.

Faced with Zhou Yu's request, Zhuge Liang agreed with a smile.

"Gongjin will go back to the post station to rest first, and then enter the palace." Zhuge Liang said.

It's the rhythm of the send-off!

Zhou Yu naturally had self-knowledge and got up to say goodbye.

Looking at Zhou Yu's distant figure, the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth showed an intriguing smile.

"It seems that Koto is ready!" A voice came from behind Zhuge Liang.

"Yes! This Zhou Gongjin is really not ordinary! Zhuge Liang turned around and said, "Yuan Zhi, we should quickly enter the palace to face the saint!" ”

What came out from behind him was Xu Shu, the prime minister of the dynasty.

"Good! Gongtai, Shiyuan and others have entered the palace! Xu Shu said.

In front of the Tianhe Palace, Liu Bei, the Emperor of Zhangwu, Liu Chan, the crown prince, Xu Shu, the prime minister, Chen Gong, the imperial historian, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the Taiwei and the general Guan Yu, the guard and the hussar general Zhang Fei, the left court captain saw the car and the general Yan Liang, the right court captain saw the guard cavalry general Wen Chou and other civil and military officials gathered together.

Zhuge Liang told Zhou Yu what he said.

Liu Bei lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "What suggestions do you have for Zhu Qing?" ”

"Those who don't submit will not surrender after all! However, there are pros and cons to attacking from afar and ending closely! Your Majesty, the people of the six prefectures of You, Hebei, Qing, Xu, Yang, and Yong, only the two prefectures of Qing and Xu have already recuperated, and the people of the rest of the states still need to recuperate. And for today's plan, it should be to please Cao thief, so his subordinates think that Jiangdong can temporarily tolerate adultery, but Jingzhou can be contained! Imperial Doctor Chen Gong said.

"Yes! Cao Apu persecuted the first emperor and had to ask for it! When Emperor Zhang Wu mentioned Cao Cao, his anger rose, and the thunder was furious.

Zhuge Liang went out of class to persuade: "Your Majesty, the army has already sharpened its swords, and you can send troops on an auspicious day." It's just that Jiangdong Sun Quan is on the table, and asks His Majesty to canonize him as the king of Wu. ”

"Zhuge Aiqing, do you think it should be sealed?"

"Your Majesty, Sun Quan took this opportunity to fall into the ground, but it was a good idea! At this time, His Majesty has also sealed it, but what if it is not sealed?! But it also gave him an excuse to establish himself as a king! Zhuge Liang said and sighed.

Xu Shu went out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, what Kong Ming said is extremely true. In fact, whether it is sealed or not, Sun Quan has to be the king of Wu. If it is played correctly, His Majesty can concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao, wouldn't it be a good thing? ”

Hearing what the two virtuous ministers said, Liu Bei nodded, and then asked with some hesitation: "If you let it develop arbitrarily, will you have to compensate for the loss if you raise a tiger in the future?" ”

Pang Tong's voice sounded in the train: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen will relieve your worries!" ”

"Even? What is Pang Aiqing's plan? ”

"Your Majesty, Sun Quan sent Zhou Gongjin to submit the surrender table and ask for the title of King Wu. In fact, there is one more thing, that is, please ask Your Majesty to allow them to crusade against Jiaozhou! Pang Tong said to Liu Bei, the Son of Heaven.

"I know about it."

"Please listen to Weichen's speech, Your Majesty." Pang Tong said, looked at Liu Bei, saw him nodding, and then said, "Actually, whether Your Majesty is allowed or not, Sun Quan will definitely send troops to attack Jiaozhou when we attack Cao Cao." Therefore, Weichen has a strategy that can kill two birds with one stone! ”

"Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, Jingzhou Mu, Jiangling King Liu Biao and Jiangdong have been feuding for a long time, as long as the Jiangling King is contained, how can Sun Quan do his best to seize Jiaozhou?" As soon as Pang Tong's plan came out, Liu Bei suddenly smiled.

All the people in front of the temple were wonderful.

"Good! Shiyuan's plan is enough to solve the hidden worries of the Jiangnan generation! Imperial Doctor Chen Gong took the lead in praising it.

"Not bad! It's really good! With that, Liu Bei stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his back, came to the ministers, and asked in a deep voice, "The detailed plan will be handed over to all of you in the Guanglu Pavilion!" Tomorrow, I also ask Zhuge Aiqing and Pang Aiqing to accompany Gongjin to see me that week! It's just that Sun Quan wants to be crowned King of Wu, which is too extravagant! It's good to seal a Wu Hou! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

At midnight, in the depths of the Imperial Palace, the Political Cooperation Palace.

Prime Minister Xu Shu, Imperial Envoy Chen Gong, Left Guangluxun Zhuge Liang, Right Guangluxun Pang Tong, General Guan Yu, Hussar General Zhang Fei, Che Cavalry General Yan Liang, Guard Cavalry General Wen Chou and other eight people are accompanying Zhang Wu Emperor Liu Bei, eating supper.

"Your Majesty, is it appropriate for the ministers to arrange it like this?" Zhuge Liang respectfully asked.

"Eat, don't rest! Eat and talk at the same time! Seeing Zhuge Liang put down the wine bottle, Liu Bei smiled slightly and persuaded, "You guys have arranged it very well!" A nice layout! It's just that Cai Mao is probably not Zhou Gongjin's opponent! ”

"Your Majesty is very right! However, apart from this person under the command of King Gangneung, where else can he be competent? Prime Minister Xu Shu said helplessly on the side.

Hearing this, Liu Bei looked up at everyone present, suddenly smiled, and said, "Since that's the case, let him go!" However, Kong Ming and Shi Yuan, you have to help a group of Jiangling kings! ”

"Wait for you to understand!"

……

The next day, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong brought Zhou Yu to see Liu Bei.

"I've heard Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang for a long time, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty's praise! Hearing Liu Bei's praise, an inexplicable fear rose in Zhou Yu's heart in vain......

"Haha......" Seeing Zhou Yucheng's frightened look, Liu Bei laughed......

Suppressing his laughter, Liu Bei immediately became serious, and looked at Zhou Yu with blazing eyes: "You are with your father?" ”

"Your Majesty, my father is my father, I am mine, how can I come with you?"

"Your father, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty. You are also Hanchen, why is it different? ”

"My father is virtuous, but I am foolish!"

……

After some verbal temptation, Liu Bei saw that Zhou Yu's answer was fluent, his face was not afraid, and he knew it in his heart, so he issued a holy decree and ordered him to return to Jiangdong.

Nowadays, Liu Biao, the king of Jiangling, is also facing the saint, hearing the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly accepting the decree.

However, this decree was so heavy that he did not dare to accept it.

"Brother Wang, don't accept the order yet!" Liu Bei sat on the dragon chair and asked in a deep voice.

Wiping the cold sweat on his head, Liu Biao replied: "Minister, minister!" As he spoke, he took the holy decree from the eunuch's hand.

And Zhou Yu, who was also in front of the hall, saw that Liu Biao had received the holy decree to crusade against Jiaozhou, and he was very angry, looking up at Zhuge Liang, with a cold light in his eyes that wanted to kill Zhuge Liang......

However, this is not his territory, and he naturally can't afford to make any big waves......

Leaving the palace, he threw himself into Jiangdong with anger.

Gangdong, Kure-gun.

"What? Do you want me to obey Liu Biao's command?! It's so deceitful! Wu Hou Sun Quan shouted as if he couldn't vent his anger.

"The Lord is angry! For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to make compromises for the time being and obey their commands! The old general Huang Gai persuaded on the side.

"Gong Jin, you say, what should I do next?" Sun Quan regained his senses under Huang Gai's persuasion and asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked at the generals around him, then looked at Sun Quan, and said very solemnly: "Lord, send the general to lead the troops." It's just that the general of the unified army should be cautious and must not be manipulated by others! ”

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in surprise.

Seeing that Sun Quan didn't understand, Zhou Yu whispered in Sun Quan's ear.

Sun Quancai nodded, turned to Cheng Pu and said, "Since it is the holy will of the Son of Heaven, how can you disobey it?!" Then ask the old general to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, ready to be on standby at any time, and follow Cai Mao to conquer Jiaozhou! ”

"The Last General's Order!"

……

Let's talk about Koto and settle down for the time being.

Liu Bei began to prepare for the attack on Cao Cao!

The Gao Huai brothers returned from Bingzhou to restore their lives, and told Liu Bei, the Emperor of Zhangwu, about Gao Gan's loyalty.

Gao Gan said: Yuan Tan will never be allowed to embark on the road of betrayal.

But Liu Bei just wanted to know Yuan Tan's attitude.

The two Gao Huai brothers glanced at each other and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Xiansi heard that Sun Quan asked for the title, and he also asked His Majesty to canonize him as the Marquis of Jin." ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Liu Bei laughed, "Marquis of Jin?!" Very good, Prime Minister ......! ”

"The minister is here." Xu Shu is out of class.

Liu Bei said expressionlessly: "Since Xiansi also wants to worship the prime minister, I will give him this knight!" Send someone to it! ”

"Obey."

……

Just saw the scenery of Sun Quan's feudal marquis, how did Yuan Tan know that Liu Bei had sentenced them to death in his heart.

Liu Bei's heart moved, but his face did not show a trace of displeasure, and he still discussed the matter of sending troops with his ministers.

The conquest of Cao Cao has been decided.

But the generals competed, and even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were constantly hinting to Liu Bei that they wanted to attack Cao. Liu Bei saw all this in his eyes, and he was uncertain.

That night, Prime Minister Xu Shu and Imperial Historian Chen Gong came to see Liu Bei.

"Is Your Majesty still worried about the generals?" Xu Shu asked tentatively.

Looking at Xu Shu and Chen Gong, Liu Bei sighed and said, "Wolong and phoenix, you can win the world by one person!" However, now, I have two people, but I don't know who to send to command the army! Ay! ”

Everyone else is worried that there is no good plan, but he is good, there are many good plans......

Xu Shu smiled: "Your Majesty is afraid that they will have internal cracks!" In fact, Kong Ming and Shi Yuan are both wise and resourceful, and there must be no one in Cao Cao's camp for a while! Your Majesty, the old minister thought that it was most appropriate to send the general Yun Chang as the main general, and Kong Ming to join the military as the supervising army! ”

"But how can Yide, Gongji, Bujun, and Shiyuan not fight?"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "The four of them will be handed over to the old man, please rest assured Your Majesty." ”

The three agreed.

The next day, Liu Bei issued a conscription order:

The first emperor was tragically killed, how could I let the murderer go unpunished. Today, I take the Taiwei and the general Guan Yu as the main general, and Zuo Guanglu Xun Zhuge Liang participates in the military as the supervising army, and sends 30 good generals and 150,000 elite soldiers to conquer Cao Thief and set off on the same day. In addition, Yuan Tan, the Marquis of Jin, was summoned to personally lead the troops to Luoyang three days later.
