Jiangdong Jianye, Taichu Palace. Sun Ce summoned the Prime Minister, the Taiwei, the Imperial Historian and the other three princes and the left great Sima Zhang Zhao, but what they discussed was the top diplomatic affairs.

"The king of Wei sent an envoy to the name of the Han family, and the matter of such a secret invitation is nothing more than between Xiangfan. The king of Wei regarded Liu Bei as his great enemy in his life, and in the battle of Hanzhong, he conquered the west (Xiahou Yuan) and died, and the king of Wei lost. Now between Xiangfan and Wei, the king of Wei will never allow failure, not to mention that the Son of Heaven lives in Xudu, where the world is in the spotlight, and there must be no loss. Qiao Ren got up and talked eloquently, "As the saying goes, people must ask for something, and vice versa." If you ask for something, how can you not have a heavy courtesy. ”

"Heavy gifts? In the troubled times, the heavy gifts are nothing more than land, cities and population, but the king of Wei will not give them. Zhang Zhao opened his mouth and said, it's also nonsense, that's all there is to fight for in troubled times, how can you give it away.

"There is one more thing that is important in troubled times." Qiao Ren probably had some eyebrows in his heart.

"What?"

"Great righteousness and officials. The king of Wei has been called lonely in the north and Liu Bei has also established himself as the king, but the brother-in-law is still the Duke of Wu, and the king of Wei takes Hanchen as his envoy, and I am afraid that the big gift is to --- the title of King Wu. ”

Righteousness or fame is somewhat useful in foreign battles, and Sun Ce is a person who does not fall behind, how can he be satisfied with only a duke. In later generations, the throne of Eastern Wu was canonized by Sun Quan to Cao Pi, who had usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself, but it was impossible for Sun Ce's spleen surname to make him a vassal to Cao Ying, let alone a vassal to Cao Pi. If it is said to be self-reliant, it is even more impossible, although the status is not absolute, but Soochow is indeed a complete separatist regime without any great righteousness at all. Liu Bei can stand on his own, that is because he has the reputation of loving the people and the identity of the Han family, he established himself as the king in the eyes of the scholars, and he is undoubtedly the corner of the Han Dynasty, but a few ordinary people know the allusions of the Han King, and even a few people remember Gaozu Liu Bang.

Therefore, to establish himself as the king, Liu Bei can, but Sun Ce can't do it, he still needs the orthodox name of the Han family, as for the emperor to be the emperor later, it is to wait until Cao Pi and Liu Bei to follow the trend. It was only when the influence of the Han family was close to nothing that there was such an opportunity.

"King? It's just a name, but Jingzhou, lonely is determined to win, with the help of King Wei, it is not impossible. ”

"What is Xu Shu doing?" In a military tent in the public security city, several people in armor gathered together to discuss something. These people are Liu Pan, Liu Xun and Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, who should have been under house arrest, and they would not be surprised if Qiao Ren was here, because they were the key to the plan.

Although Qiao Ren advocated that the advance envoy communicate with Guan Yu and ask for relatives, in fact, Qiao Ren did not hold out any hope for this, and did not mention Guan Yu's own surname, relying on diplomacy alone would definitely not achieve any practical effect. So while sending envoys on the surface, Qiao Ren secretly sent Liu Xun with dozens of personal guards to infiltrate the public security, and contacted Liu Pan, who had been lurking in the public security for several years, to insert a knife in Guan Yu's back.

"Xu Yuanzhi took General Fu to check the front line against Soochow." Liu Pan replied.

It is very strange that the real person in charge of the tent is not the master Liu Pan here, nor the young master of Liu Zhang's former ministers and now Liu Xun, the captain under Sun Shao, but the middle-aged literati sitting on the side, it is not appropriate to say that he is a literati, because at this time he is wearing a pair of short armor.

Huang Quan, perhaps his name is not a brilliant one in the entire star-studded Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty, but he is not a mediocre talent, and in the original history, he was an involuntary case like Xu Shu. Originally, the battle of Hanzhong was the most brilliant battle between him and Fa Zheng, and in this life, because Liu Bei took Liu Zhang at the banquet, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren's originally different life trajectories were changed by this little butterfly, and as Liu Zhang's stubborn old minister, Liu Bei was banished to the public security and strictly guarded.

But Qiao Ren obviously won't let go of such a talent, if he only relies on Liu Pan and Liu Xun and a few martial artists, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with Xu Shu who stayed behind in the public security and Jiangling. Therefore, when Qiao Ren sent Liu Xunlai, he asked him to listen to Huang Quan's words in everything.

"Good!! Xu Yuanzhi never imagined that Fu Shiren, who was angry with Guan Yu, would be persuaded by us so easily, and turned against him Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Today, it happens that Xu Shu is not there, but it is the time of the incident, Gongzi and General Liu can quickly control the military camp and arsenal, and General Zhang leads the army to arrest Xu Shu, whether Fu Shiren is really on the same road with us, but as long as General Zhang's troops arrive, he knows how to choose, whether to give Guan Yu a funeral or to join us in the great cause. ”

"But sir, there is no letter from Mrs. Qiao, so let's make trouble without permission, right?" Liu Xun is only in his early twenties now, and although he has fought several battles, he is somewhat restrained about this matter.

"Childe, it's okay! Duke Wu sent an envoy to ask Guan Yu for marriage, but he was so humiliated, the envoy said that it was time to return to Jianye. The anger of Wu Gong and Taiwei Qiao has come to an end, and the military newspaper shows that the King of Wei sent Yu Ban to lead an army of 30,000 to aid Cao Ren, and now the two sides are even more in a bitter battle, Guan Yu Pifu was shot in the forehead by Pang De with an arrow, Liu Beijun is now losing his spirit, morale is greatly damaged, Xu Shu is anxious about both the north and the south, it is a good time to start. Childe, you must remember that for the general, you must be able to respond to the situation, and do not wait for the military order and miss the opportunity. ”

"A certain person agrees with what Mr. Huang said, today is the time of the incident, the virtuous brother will take over the military camp with his brother, and those who disobey will be killed!" Liu Pan hurriedly interrupted Huang Quan's preaching, he knew that Huang Quan was preaching, it was like a river!

"Good!"

Liu Pan turned to Zhang Ren, a famous general in Shuzhong, and said: "General Zhang's martial arts are strong, and the generals of Jingzhou are invincible except for Guan Yu. ”

"General Liu rest assured, Ren Zi will do his best."

"Generals." Huang Quan's expression was straight, he bowed and saluted, and then said: "The right will immediately write a letter, and send it to the Lu Du Governor in Lukou in the name of the prince, I believe that the Lu Du Governor will understand." Ladies and gentlemen, you must act secretly, and don't leak the rumors, so that Mi Fang of Jiangling knows. ”

"Whoa!"

"Everyone, if you endure for a long time, success or failure is here!"

"It's a matter of success or failure."

The public security is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, connecting Han and Shanghai in the east, Bashu in the west, Hunan and Guangdong in the south, and Shaanxi and Henan in the north. That is, because of his extensive terrain that Xu Shu was worried about his gray hair, as the Taishou of Nanjun (Guan Yu is the history of Jingzhou Thorn, Rui Xuan is also the history of Jingzhou Thorn, and Wen Ping is also the history of Jingzhou Thorn), of course, his news will be smoother than Liu Pan, Dongwu sent an envoy to Sun Yi's widow Sun Song to ask for relatives, and at the same time discussed the return of Nanjun, this Xu Shu knows, according to Xu Shu's meaning perfunctory, delay for a period of time, this will be a critical period after all, and it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Dongwu. But Guan Yu refused to say it to his face, and said that 'the tiger girl can marry a dog'! Sun Yi is just that, it is impossible for a dead person to jump out of the grave, but Sun Song is still Qiao Ren's righteous son, aren't you turning around and scolding Qiao Ren for being a dog?

Xu Shu's worries happened one after another, and the envoys immediately brushed their sleeves away, and the most terrible thing was that when passing through Xiakou, Lu Meng, the governor of the garrison in Xiakou, recalled all the soldiers who were training outside, and the navy looked ready to go; When the envoy passed by Lukou, Lu Xun, the deputy governor of the garrison Lukou, moved the army in all directions, and it seemed that there would be a big move if he didn't say it.

Fortunately, Anfeng County is now under the jurisdiction of Governor Lü, and if it was a few years ago, Anfeng's troops might have been obliquely inserted into Xiangfan to attack Guan Yu's rearguard troops.

'What is this called, why can't Yun Chang keep his mouth shut!' Xu Shu was originally inspecting the beacon tower along the river east of the public security, and after thinking too much, he seemed absent-minded.
