Sure enough, Guan Yu was finally unwilling to be lonely. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As early as when Guan Yu sent Guan Yinping to Beijing, Fang Shao guessed that the general wanted to marry the Son of Heaven, but at the same time, Fang Shao also expected that the late Liu Bei would most likely be worried about the dictatorship of his relatives, and it would be impossible to choose Guan Yu as his in-laws.

Now, the development of the situation is basically out of Fang Shao's expectations, so it is expected that Guan Yu will be furious.

Except for a few people who knew it in their hearts, the rest of the ministers were shocked when they heard that Guan Yu actually supported King Qi to become emperor, and they were all silent, and none of them dared to express their opinions without authorization.

There is no other reason, everyone is afraid of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's light doctor is famous, and now as a general, he holds 100,000 male soldiers in Jingzhou, which can be said to be powerful, and there are soldiers, if he really angers this general, I am afraid that there will never be good fruits to eat.

In the main hall, there was a solemnity, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Seeing this, Pang Tong smiled and said indifferently: "Today, the worship ceremony has been carried out, and you are also tired, so go back and rest." ”

Da Sima spoke, and the officials dispersed in a swarm.

After leaving the palace, Fang Shao and the others went to the prime minister's mansion.

As soon as the door was closed, the rest were all his own people, and Fang Shao said: "It seems that the general is worried about the marriage of the first emperor, and he is determined to do it with us." ”

Zhuge Liang threw the top table of Guan Yu on the case, and sighed: "Yun Changsheng's surname is proud, thinking that the first emperor will definitely give marriage to his daughter, this time it must be a big loss of face, so he has this rebellious move, if he is really determined to come against us, this matter is really not easy to do." ”

Pang Tong snorted coldly: "Even if he is a general, even if he is a beautiful bearded prince who is mighty in the world, we can let him in other things, but in the matter of establishing a new emperor, it is related to the fundamental interests of our Jingxiang people, how can we back down, I don't believe that we forcibly supported the king of Chu as the emperor, and he dared to rebel." ”

Pang Tong's last words shocked Fang Shao's heart.

Previously, Fang Shao deduced that Guan Yu might go against them, but he never thought that Guan Yu would "rebel", assuming that this great general who had been in Jingzhou for ten years really supported his own troops and divided one side, it would be a huge blow to the Great Han Kingdom.

The last thing is that the place where Guan Yu is based is Jingzhou, which is the foundation of the Jingxiangshi people, if they lose this place, the serious consequences caused are unimaginable.

Just when Fang Shao was worried in his heart, Zhuge Liang said with certainty: "Although Yun Chang is a little arrogant, if he dares to rebel, it is absolutely impossible. After all, Yun Chang is a righteous person, and the reason why he wants to fight like this is nothing more than to ensure his power, but if he turns his back on the first emperor, I don't expect it to be possible. ”

Zhuge Liang's analysis dispelled Fang Shao's concerns, Kong Ming was right, Guan Yu was by no means that kind of person.

If Guan Yu would rebel, then he would not have given up Cao Ying's kind treatment back then, and would have traveled thousands of miles to return Liu Bei to the sizeless land.

To be precise, Guan Yu didn't even fight for any power, but a breath.

"General Guan's rebellion may not be possible, but with General Guan's influence in the country, if he insists on establishing the King of Qi as the emperor, and we want to force the King of Chu as the emperor, there will inevitably be a struggle, even if it is us who wins in the end, General Guan is forced to give in, I am afraid that it will also cause the people in the country to split, in terms of the overall situation, I am afraid that it may not be a good thing."

At such a special moment, stability should be of paramount importance to the Great Han Kingdom, which is exactly what Fang Shao is worried about.

Zhuge Liang pondered again and again: "Zhongzheng is reasonable, at this time, our internal strife will only give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of." In this case, let's send one person to Jingzhou first, and explain the interests to General Guan, if we can persuade him to change his words, if not, then make plans. ”

Zhuge Liang's opinion, Fang Shao and Pang Tong agreed, so, after the three of them discussed, they decided to send Fei Yi to Jingzhou to meet Guan Yu in the name of inspecting the prefectures.

Because Fei Yi was an envoy to Eastern Wu in his early years, he stayed in Jingzhou for a period of time, during which he was quite appreciated by Guan Yu, so he was selected as a lobbyist this time.

………… There was an undercurrent surging in the Han Kingdom, and the Wei Kingdom, which was greatly injured, was taking the opportunity to lick and caress the wounds at the moment.

After the withdrawal of Han and Wu, Cao Ying could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The southeastern Wu army withdrew to Huainan, and the siege of Xiapi was lifted, so Cao Ying demoted Cao Zhi and his uncle Cao Hongquan to commoners, and distributed Haijiang to boil salt. Cao Zhen, who led 3,000 cavalry to relieve the siege of the southeast, was greatly appreciated by Cao Ying, and commanded Qingxu's troops as a chariot cavalry general and a fake Jieyue, and stationed in the southeast of Wei.

Soon after, the general Xiahoudun died of illness, and Cao Ying was in pain, so Cao Ren was promoted to general and stationed in Luoyang to deal with the enemy in the southwest, and at the same time, Cao Zhen was promoted to hussar general and became the second person in the Wei army.

In Hebei, because the retreat of the Han army took away nearly 200,000 Hebei people, making many counties north of Yecheng a no-man's land, Cao Ying promoted Xiahou Shang to the general of the chariot cavalry, ordered him to move 80,000 people from Henan into Tuntian, Hebei, and ordered him to command the Hebei army to deal with the threat from the north.

The Wei State finally got a rare respite, and although the Han State withdrew its troops, it also benefited a lot in this war, not only capturing the two states of Youji, but also capturing several counties in northern Hebei, and more importantly, obtaining 200,000 valuable population resources.

The most depressing is the Eastern Wu, the battle of Xuzhou, the dignified army of 200,000, even can't bear a mere Xiapi City, and finally Pengcheng lost tens of thousands of soldiers in the first battle, and finally had to choose a gray retreat.

In this battle, countless money and food were consumed, and nearly 40,000 soldiers died of illness in the battle, but in the end, they worked in vain, but seemed to have helped the Han State make a wedding dress, which made Sun Quan very unhappy after returning to Jianye.

After the autumn, Jiang Gan, the envoy of the Wei State, suddenly arrived.

Jiang Gan did not come here to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, but to bring Sun Quan's greetings and greetings from Cao Ying, and brought many valuable gifts, which made Sun Quan feel a little surprised.

After the formal talks, the ministers retreated, and only Jiang Gan and Sun Quan remained in the main hall.

"Cao Gong's three beloved sons, one died, one was imprisoned, and the other was demoted to a commoner, it's a pity, but I don't know who else will inherit Cao Gong's inheritance after a hundred years." In the face of Jiang Gan's humility, Sun Quan was quite complacent, and specifically mentioned Cao Ying's sadness, and there was a lot of irony in his words.

Jiang Gan's face was still indifferent, and he smiled slightly: "My majesty has more than 20 sons, so naturally there is no need to worry about the successor of the Great Wei, there is King Lao who is missing, in fact, the king should be worried about himself now." ”

Jiang Gan suddenly changed his tone, Sun Quan's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Although this king is not talented, his family business is getting bigger and bigger, and his body is as healthy as ever, so I really don't know what to worry about." ”

Sun Quan's words are still full of irony, which means that I, Sun Quan, are in the prime of life, but you Cao Ying is not only in poor health, but also said that the territory is being invaded by me, what qualifications do you have to worry about me.

Jiang Gan sneered: "During the Warring States Period, the Qi State was strong and prosperous, and it was also a time when it repeatedly invaded the land of the other five countries, but then within a few years, it was the same as the other five countries, all of them were destroyed by the violent Qin. ”

Sun Quan is so smart, when he heard Jiang Gan's words, but he knew that he had something to say, he said coldly: "Jiang Xianlai has something to say, it seems that Mr. came to my Dongwu this time, he must have other intentions, you might as well say it directly, why bother to swallow and vomit." ”

Jiang Gan's expression became more and more calm, and he said with a smile: "The king really has a sharp eye, yes, this envoy is indeed in the secret order of His Majesty of my family, in fact, I want to ask the king to call the emperor in the south, from now on my Wei and Wu alliances reconciled, together to destroy Liu Han, in the future, our two countries will be bounded by the Huai River and Qinling, divide the world, and be friendly from generation to generation." ”

Sun Quan was really surprised by this remark, but it was not unexpected, Cao Wei's current predicament, and it was reasonable to try to reconcile with him and fight against the Han Kingdom.

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth raised, and he sneered: "Back then, Duke Cao hated this king to the bone, but now he is so generous, it's really unexpected." ”

"At this time and that time, when the Wei State was strong and prosperous, it was just a matter of raising his hand to dominate the world, and if it was King Wu, he would do the same thing." Jiang Gan replied very calmly.

Sun Quan restrained his disdain a little, and asked with interest: "That is the case, then the king should ask, Cao Gong asked me to give up the alliance with Liu Han for more than ten years, and instead form an alliance with him, what good can there be?" ”

"Good question, the king." Jiang Gan's expression suddenly became solemn, "The benefit of the king is that the three generations of the Sun family have worked hard to run the Jiangshan Sheji, and in the end, it will not be swallowed up by Liu Han. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Quan's face changed immediately.

Without waiting for Sun Quan to respond, Jiang Gan continued: "The so-called heaven is unique, the people are not two, if the Han State destroys my Wei State in the future, the next target must be the king's Wu State, there is no doubt about it." And the Han State has Jingzhou, and there are upstream benefits to the Wu State, and when the time comes, the southeast and southeast roads will use troops at the same time, and the destruction of Wu is only a matter of the blink of an eye, so at this time, the Han State is the biggest threat to the king, and my Wei State is no longer able to endanger the king's country. ”

Sun Quan patiently listened to him finish speaking, but sneered again: "You also said that there is no other thing in the sky, after the Han State destroys Wei, it will invade my Eastern Wu." So if this king and Cao Gong alliance to destroy the Han Kingdom, then who can guarantee that Cao Gong will not tear his face in the blink of an eye and also invade my Eastern Wu. ”

Jiang Gan smiled lightly and said unhurriedly: "The Han Kingdom has an upstream trend towards Eastern Wu, so it can calmly destroy Wu." But if Wei and Wu join forces to destroy the Han, then the king can possess the Jianghuai Qinling line, and the location will be owned by the king. Therefore, there is no guarantee that after the Han Dynasty is destroyed in the future, the Wei State will not invade the Wu State, but what the Gan can guarantee is that even if the Wei State breaks the treaty and invades Wu, the king will be able to protect himself from the danger, and the king's Jiangshan Sheji will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

After these words, Sun Quan's heart moved.
