Chapter 1074: To add insult to injury
PS: Correcting .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... later, it is impossible to become a minister of Wu or Shu, so whether he is a tyrant or a mediocre monarch, it doesn't have much to do with us, The only thing we have to do is to take advantage of the contradictions between Wu and Shu to seek the greatest benefits possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Kanto across the five states, is the belly of the world, but the land of the four wars, if we support the army to stand on our own, it will inevitably be attacked by the north and south of Wu and Shu, only temporarily take refuge in one of them, as an expedient measure, when the conditions are ripe, and then raise the flag to stand on its own, it is not too late. ”
Shi Bao and Ma Long suddenly realized that Chen Qian's so-called surrender was just a fake surrender, and now that the Jin State was about to die, their three governors of Kwantung were indeed in a difficult situation, and if they still held on to the banner of the Sima family, they would inevitably be strangled by Wu and Shu.
Even if you abandon the banner of the Sima family and stand on your own, the result will be the same, not to mention that if you are self-reliant, the three governors stand side by side, and who is the leader, it is still a big problem. Once you have such a mind, it will be even more dangerous, and it is likely to be divided and ruled by Wu and Shu, and the whole army will be wiped out.
Chen Qian had already begun to plan the future of the five states in Kwantung, and under the current circumstances, it was not realistic for the three governors to seek unification, and even if they sought unification, it would be difficult to resist the two countries of Wu and Shu. Lu Kang's persuasion gave Chen Qian a new consideration, that is, to use the power of Wu to resist the attack of Shu, and now Shu has destroyed the power of Jin, and the momentum is monstrous, and Wu has also felt a lot of pressure, and is eager to win over the remnants of Jin and fight against Shu together.
Chen Qian believes that whether it is to surrender Shu or Wu, if they hand over their territory and military power, it will be difficult to be reused, then they will inevitably have a bleak evening, and Chen Qian naturally cannot accept such a result.
Shu doesn't even have the intention of persuading to surrender now, which shows that Shu doesn't pay attention to this remnant force of Jin, and if they take the initiative to surrender to Shu, they won't be reused by others at all. The state of Wu is different, the state of Wu is eager to compete with the state of Shu, if all the five states of the Kwantung region fall into the state of Shu, the situation of the state of Wu will become more and more difficult.
Therefore, Lu Kang proposed quite generous treatment from the very beginning, sealing the king, basing the territory, and retaining the current official positions and commanded troops of Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Ma Long, in fact, what Wu wanted was to plant a flag of Wu in the land of Kwantung, and the rest was business as usual.
Chen Qian is of course satisfied with such conditions, which is also in line with Chen Qian's strategic concept, and now Chen Qian is meeting with Shi Bao and Ma Long, the purpose is to seek the three governors to unite, so that they can have greater bargaining chips and ask for more benefits from Wu Guo.
Shi Bao and Ma Long of course very much agree with Chen Qian's proposition, if they really let them surrender to Wu or Shu, it is indeed difficult to accept, the Jin State is already doomed, Chen Qian's proposition can be said to be the most exciting proposition at present, supporting the army and standing on their own, separating the territory as the king, is their ultimate dream, before that, it is not an unacceptable condition to compromise and change the banner to be a minister.
Shi Bao and Ma Long quickly agreed to Chen Qian's suggestion, and the three of them conspired until late at night, which could be regarded as reaching a final unanimous opinion, led by Chen Qian, Shi Bao and Ma Long jointly signed, and replied to Lu Kang.

After Lu Kang received the letter, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and Xue Ying said dissatisfiedly: "How can this be true, this Chen Qian, Shi Bao and Ma Long are simply lions with big mouths, are they surrendering to us or are we surrendering to them?" ”
After the three governors of Guanzhong surrendered to Wu, they set up the banner of Wu, and asked Wu to seal Chen Qian as the king of Yingchuan and the governor of Yuzhou, and Shibao as the king of Huainan and Xu Yang, and Ma Long as the king of Taishan and the governor of Qingyan. In view of the fact that after the Shu State entered and occupied Luoyang, it would inevitably pose a threat to the three places in the eastern part of the country, so the three of them could not leave their posts without permission, and they had the right to enter Beijing to meet the Emperor Wu without being edicted.
After the soldiers and horses in the three places changed their banners, the required food and ordnance were paid by the Wu court, and the first installment alone required Wu to pay 200,000 yuan for military rations and 10 million yuan, and others such as military uniforms, camp tents, baggage, and equipment.
Such a huge expenditure is a big burden for Wu Guo, and it is no wonder that Xue Ying and others are dissatisfied, Wu Guo paid so much price, but in exchange for only planting a flag of Wu in the three places of Kanto.
But Lu Kang doesn't think so, now the power of Shu is expanding rapidly, if Wu can't win the land of Kanto, then Wu's living space will be greatly compressed, even if Chen Qian and others have some blackmail in it, but this point of payment, Wu can still pay, with tens of millions of money and grain in exchange for Wu's territorial expansion, Lu Kang thinks it's worth it.
Zhendong General Zhu Wan said with some concern: "Such a major matter should be reported to His Majesty, but this to Jianye, I am afraid that it will not be able to return it in more than ten days, and now the situation in the Central Plains is urgent, and the destruction of Luoyang by Shu is only a matter of time, if you can't reply to Chen Qian and others, I'm afraid that things will change." Even if it is reported to His Majesty, according to the current situation in the DPRK, whether His Majesty can agree is probably a question. ”
Now Sun Hao is in Jianye to make Wu Guochao is a miasma, many ministers are quite dissatisfied with Sun Hao, but they dare not speak out, Zhu Wan knows that even if this matter is reported to Sun Hao, with Sun Hao's consistent style, he may not nod his head in agreement, and now Lu Kang and Chen Qian and others are pulling a bunch of skins here, and when Sun Hao comes to veto, Lu Kang's previous efforts are not in vain.
Lu Kang said calmly: "If you don't give the order of the monarch outside, you will be the governor of the capital, and you should have the right to act cheaply, and I will show your majesty afterwards, and I believe that your majesty will also understand a certain painstaking heart." Without further ado, we can now reply to Chen Qian and others, agree with the things mentioned in their letters, and announce them to the world from now on, and change the flag! ”
