Chapter 622: The Empress Dowager Comes to the Dynasty
Sima Yi persuaded Cao Cao to be the king, it was indeed in the consideration of Cao Jun, blindly showing weakness is definitely not conducive to negotiations, and in the future confrontation with the Sichuan army, Cao Cao's title will be lower than Liu Zhang's There will be a lot of trouble.
But Sima Yi by the way, he still has to calculate Xun Yu Xunyu, this is an invisible and untouchable calculation, and persuading Cao Cao to be crowned a prince is out of Cao Jun's considerations, which is understandable.
But Cao Cao is different from Liu Zhang, with a different surname and a king, Xun Yu and Xun You don't feel it, plus the previous death of the Son of Heaven, even if Sima Yi told Sima Hui, it was conclusive that the Son of Heaven was left by Guo Jia, not to mention others.
Although this basin is on Guo Jia's head, it stinks Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Xun You must have an opinion.
If Cao Cao is crowned a prince, Sima Yi will definitely not be able to deal with Xun Yu and Xun Yu calmly.
Cao Cao not only adopted Sima Yi's suggestion, but also named Sima Yi as Situ, second only to the prime minister, and added Sima Yi as a hussar general, whose status was unparalleled.
At this time, not only did Sima Yi have a prominent position in the Cao army, but the major families finally determined Sima Yi as their spokesperson, and they would complete the first mission, resist the Sichuan army, and the second mission, the major task of glorifying the clan.
The Zhen family and others hope that Sima Yi can complete the third mission and support Cao Pi to come to power.
The Sima family gave Sima Yi the fifth mission, to seize the world.
And Sima Yi's peace strategy spread to the Sichuan army, but I didn't expect Liu Zhang to really agree to the peace negotiation, the two sides on the bank of Yingshui reduced their troops, and the Cao army left 100,000 people. The Sichuan army also left 100,000 men. And Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying led the remaining 200,000 people south.
The Sichuan army agreed to negotiate peace. The Central Plains clan celebrated with a crown, even if they wanted to pull out Liu Zhang's skin and drink Liu Zhang's blood, but when it really fought, they were afraid that the Sichuan army would die, and now that they could negotiate peace, the nerves of all the children of the clan were relaxed.
At the same time, Sima Yi became the brightest star in Cao Jun. became a wizard recognized by everyone.
Now everyone thinks that if Sima Yi had gone out of the mountain to help Cao Cao in advance, Cao Jun would never have fallen to today, just like the persuasion of Guanzhong before the war, the persuasion of Xuchang and so on.
Sima Yi had just come out of the mountain, and as soon as he worked for Cao Cao, his status and prestige were already unmatched.
At this point, Sima Yi's plan before surrendering was completely successful, but Sima Yi knew that although Cao Cao was respectful to himself on the surface. But his status in Cao Cao's heart is still inferior to Xun Yu Guo Jia, and Cao Cao values more of the family's money and food.
…………………………
Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying went south with an army of 200,000. The direction is Jiangxia, and when they heard the withdrawal of the Sichuan army, the Central Plains clan naturally celebrated, and the Jiangdong clan's frightened hats fell off.
These Jiangdong clans originally thought that the Sichuan army would not dare to invade Jiangdong because of food and grass, but a massacre in Xuchang made these people believe that the Sichuan army would attack for no reason.
They did not analyze the reason for the Sichuan army's attack, they were just afraid that the Sichuan army would attack Jiangdong in their hearts, because the consequences of Jiangdong falling into the hands of the Sichuan army were too serious, so that the four major families in Jiangdong did not dare to take even one ten-thousandth of the risk.
They finally gave up their naïve idea that the Sichuan army would not attack, did not dare to attack, and was incapable of attacking.
However, as if to confirm their speculation, the Sichuan army actually went south with 200,000 troops, and the 200,000 troops, with the current strength of Jiangdong, if they really fought, the Jiangdong army would not be enough for the Sichuan army to plug their teeth.
They would not have thought that the Sichuan army, which was now short of food and grass, would capture Jiangdong, even if they slaughtered the Shi clan and got a piece of wasteland, it would be more than worth the loss.
Even if they thought about it, the gains of the Sichuan army outweighed the losses because after the fall of their family, they could not see the day when the gains of the Sichuan army outweighed the losses.
It can be said that as soon as he heard that the Sichuan army led 200,000 troops to the south, Jiangdong was dumbfounded.
At this time, Sun Quan had been forced by them to come to the Yangtze River to negotiate with the Sichuan army, but what they had discussed before only agreed to the conditions put forward by a small number of Sichuan troops in the letter, and the others were not to bargain, because they were sure that the Sichuan army had no grain and grass.
But now they don't dare to think like this at all, both Lu Su and Zhang Hong know that if the Sichuan army is determined to take Jiangdong, it will definitely be able to do it.
So Lu Su and Gu Yong followed in Sun Quan's footsteps and came to the Yangtze River, and they were all disillusioned with the future of the negotiations.
The rear army was still marching, the cavalry of the Sichuan army entered Jiangxia, and Gan Ning led the naval army north to Jiangxia.
Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying stepped on the boat and sailed towards Jiangxin under the escort of the navy, while Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, Lu Su, the strategist, and Gu Yong, the minister, came from the other side, and the place of negotiation was Jiangxin.
"Lord, then Cao Cao persuaded the lord to be the king, but he added the title of King Wei, a thief with a different surname, and transgressed the Han system, and it is not impossible for the lord to be called the emperor." Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying stood at the bow of the boat, and Huang Yueying said in the river breeze.
Liu Zhang smiled slightly: "It's not the time to be the emperor, it's just the time to have the queen mother regent now." ”
Liu Zhang is not interested in symmetrical emperors for the time being, what kind of emperor is an emperor without dominating the world? But it's not unwilling, the reason why Liu Zhang really doesn't want to be the emperor is because he wants to leave this to Liu Xun, Liu Xun has no kindness to the Sichuan army, and the emperor can give him the opportunity to be gracious.
And the so-called queen mother is Fu Shou, as soon as Liu Xie dies, no matter who succeeds to the throne later, Fu Shou is the queen mother.
Fu Shou because of Liu Xie's death, Liu Zhang knew that she was very resentful of herself, and originally thought that after the slaughter of the Fu family, Fu Shou would definitely turn her face.
Not to mention the regent, and even the possibility of committing suicide, the only thing Liu Zhang can do is to hope to save Fu Shou's life, not only because Fu Shou has his own children, but also because of personal affairs, if the mother and son choose, Liu Zhang will always choose his mother.
Liu Zhang didn't plan for Fu Shou to be regent, he just hoped that she would live well.
When the clan was slaughtered, the news was blocked from Fu Shou, but Liu Zhang knew such a big thing, how could he hide Fu Shou for the rest of his life, so he went to tell Fu Shou in person later.
Fu Shou heard that the Fu family was all punished, and he was in pain, crying for a day and a night, Liu Zhang had to call the military doctor to wait 24 hours a day, not only to prevent Fu Shou from finding a short sight, but also to prevent Fu Shou from having an accident.
But unexpectedly, the next day, Fu Shou's eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was low, and she told herself resolutely that she was willing to be regent, not only that, but Fu Shou also announced as the queen mother that the Son of Heaven was indeed killed by Sima Chang.
In this way, Cao Jun's crime of killing the Son of Heaven was completely confirmed.
Liu Zhang guessed that Fu Shou may have agreed to his already rude request because of the child, and Liu Zhang now clearly remembers the rejection in Fu Shou's eyes, as if she agreed to this matter, she no longer has anything to do with Liu Zhang, it is a kind of dead eyes.
But Liu Zhang doesn't care anymore, because his time is short, if he wants to be ruthless, he will be ruthless, this is better, in the future, without himself, Fu Shou, who has no feelings for himself, may live a little better.
The river breeze blew on his cheeks, and Liu Zhang felt dizzy when he thought of these things, it seemed that Hua Tuo used acupuncture to suppress his pain, and he was about to reach the limit.
At that time, Hua Tuo said that if he became seriously ill, it would be his last moment.
"I don't know if Du Wei's medicine is useful, but let it be fate." Liu Zhang smiled self-deprecatingly, anyway, the Sichuan army is about to enter recuperation, maybe he can't wait for the day when the Sichuan army will take another step out of the iron hoof.
Of course, all this is based on whether Sun Quan understands current affairs.
…………………………
In Chang'an, while Liu Zhang led the army south, Fu Shou, along with all other important figures of the Sichuan army, came to Chang'an from Xuchang.
Today is the first day of Fu Shou's reign as the queen regent, but there is basically nothing to do with her, Fu Shou also has the consciousness of being a puppet, and he has said very little from beginning to end, Liu Xunzhou has no doubt about what to do, and he has not commented.
After the court meeting ended, Fu Shou immediately went to the back hall, took out the easel and began to paint, it was still the same "Broken Mountains and Rivers", Liu Zhang, like Cao Cao, still laid out along the line by her side, no different.
But now Fushou no longer has the desire to restore the Han family as before, Liu Xie is dead, how to recover? Isn't Liu Zhang royal?
In the past, the restoration of the Han family also wanted to be free, but now what is the use of being free?
The basic materials have been traced by Fu Shou, and now it is the most important to integrate these materials to draw the entire "Broken Mountains and Rivers".
On the clean carpet of the palace, a wide white paper was spread, and Fu Shoujuan carefully traced each place, painting "Broken Mountains and Rivers" at this time, which was the same calm as before, but the nature of calm was completely different.
When he first drew the picture, Liu Zhang was by his side, Fu Shou felt very comfortable and warm, remembering the night when he and Liu Zhang walked around the streets of Chang'an where no one was around, looking for eaves to shelter from the rain, and the dilapidated courtyard house......
Fu Shou didn't think about it anymore, Fu Shou's calm at this moment was completely because of his discouragement.
She promised Liu Zhang to be regent, not just because of the child, only Fu Shou knew that she finally understood Liu Zhang, and finally understood the sacrifice that Liu Zhang could make for the sake of the great cause, which was a desperate sacrifice.
In the past, because the sacrifices had nothing to do with him, Fu Shou admired Liu Zhang very much, but this time, the Fu family was wiped out.
Even if Fu Shou doesn't like the family, and hates the face that his father left him in the end, but after all, he was born in the Fu family.
At the beginning, Liu Zhang killed more than 400,000 clans in order to implement the new policy, and even fell into an incurable disease.
When he saw Liu Zhang being tortured by illness, Fu Shou was even more worried than Liu Zhang, and was even willing to comfort Liu Zhang with chastity and body, even if he had planned to commit suicide to forgive his sins. (To be continued......)
