"The first step is to escalate the war, that is, Liu Zhang's personal expedition, which requires a major defeat of the Sichuan army, and the second step is to make Liangzhou turbulent, and the Liangzhou army will be defeated, and this defeat must make Liangzhou chaotic, we take advantage of Liu Zhang's inability to send troops to take Liangzhou, these two steps are extremely difficult, we must plan as soon as possible."

Liu Bei nodded silently.

…………

Koto.

Sun Shangxiang walked angrily to Qiao Wushuang's yard, Qiao Wushuang was sewing a small dress, and ten-year-old Sun Shangxiang slammed his sword on the table and didn't speak.

Qiao Wushuang smiled and asked casually, "Xiangxiang, who provoked you again?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Who else, Zhang Zhao, that bad old man, actually asked for the removal of Brother Gongjin's official position, and also wrote to the second brother to negotiate peace with the dead Liu Zhang, it's just, it's just angry, hum." ”

Sun Shangxiang pulled out his sword as he said, "The most annoying thing is that the second brother actually agreed, what did he think, the eldest brother died because of Liu Zhang's hatred, and the third brother died directly at Liu Zhang's hands, did he forget?" I want to make peace with Liu Zhang, I'm angry, I'm angry, I'm angry......"

Sun Shangxiang shouted as he picked up his sword and slashed in the grass.

Qiao Wushuang smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, I guessed it a long time ago." ”

"Sister-in-law, you guessed it earlier?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Qiao Wushuang in surprise.

"Zhang Zhao and the others, all for the sake of the overall situation of Jiangdong, our westward expedition has suffered heavy losses, Jiangdong is no longer able to fight with Jingzhou, and in the face of Cao Cao's threat, of course, we must temporarily endure it, Zhang Zhao and a group of civil officials, as well as your second brother, are all for the good of Jiangdong."

Qiao Wushuang lowered his head and said calmly, the needlework he was sewing was a little messy.

How could Qiao Wushuang not understand the thoughts of Zhang Zhao and these people, these civil officials. I just wanted to keep Jiangdong and use Jiangdong to keep them prosperous and wealthy, but of course I didn't want Jiangdong to expand externally.

Last time Liu Zhang died, the opportunity was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Jiangdong had hatred for the Sichuan army, so these civilian officials really had no choice but to agree to fight. As soon as Zhou Yu was defeated, they were happy, of course, they had to take advantage of this opportunity to demote Zhou Yu and return peace to Jiangdong.

The object that Jiangdong hopes for peace most now is Liu Zhang, and if Liu Zhang fights, of course they will resist to the death, even if they are bankrupt. It is also necessary to help Sun Quan keep his foundation.

But it is precisely because of this that they are afraid of fighting Liu Zhang, it is good to win, and it is nothing to donate some money and food, but if they lose

Finish...... Just look at the fate of the Jing Yi clan.

The Koto clan can't afford to gamble. Don't dare to bet either.

They would rather fight Cao Cao, and if Cao Cao's forces are average, they will repel and be strong. If you are defeated once and then surrender, if you are so strong that you are boundless, you are doomed to win. persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, no matter what, their glory and wealth would not be lost.

That's why they desperately want to make peace with Liu Zhang, and when they make peace with Liu Zhang, they don't have to worry about it, so they can guarantee everything.

As soon as Zhou Yu and Lu Meng returned to Jiangdong, they were euphemistically played by Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others, and Sun Quan also seemed to be very sad about the defeat of Jiangling, and personally went to comfort Zhou Yu, and then stepped down from Zhou Yu's official position, and was temporarily replaced by Lu Su, and Zhou Yu returned to Wuzhong to recuperate.

Then Lu Su personally led the envoys to Yizhou to discuss peace.

Qiao Wushuang hated these civil officials in her heart, but she was a woman with a child, what could orphans and widows do? If you interfere in political affairs, it will also make people feel that they are going to be unfavorable to Sun Quan.

Qiao Wushuang comforted Sun Shangxiang with a smile, but Sun Shangxiang was still angry, and finally decided to visit Zhou Yu and another sister-in-law, Qiao Wuxue.

Qiao Wushuang's hand holding the needle suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at the grass without blinking: "Zhou Yu is defeated, Jiangdong's vitality is greatly damaged, and the Lord and faction have the upper hand, I'm afraid, if the wishes of those clans are really fulfilled, Jiangdong will no longer be able to expand." ”

Qiao Wushuang was a little painful, but it was Sun Quan who was more painful than her.

Sun Quan sat in the dark study, without lighting the lamp, and the moonlight outside illuminated half of his face, and his face was iron-blue.

During the day, while comforting Zhou Yu, he agreed to the request of the civil official, deposed Zhou Yu, negotiated peace with Liu Zhang, and calmly accepted the congratulations of the civil official "Mingjun".

But no one knew that Sun Quan was indignant and sad at that moment.

Indignantly, these civil official walls fell down and everyone pushed them, and sadly, Jiangling was defeated, Jiangdong could no longer conquer the west, and he was destined to become a separatist prince.

How Sun Quan wished to enable Zhou Yu, even if he was defeated.

Guanjiangdong, unification was very early, but again and again missed the opportunity to achieve great causes, the battle of Sanjiangkou, the battle of Cao Caoguandu, before Liu Zhang's expedition to Jingzhou.

Sun Ce had the intention of expansion, but he was hindered by the Shi clan again and again for various reasons, so that if today's one-third of the situation, Jiangdong has become the weakest.

Sun Quan is unwilling, unwilling to be a king, but what can he do? The foundation of his rule is these clans, can he kill people as recklessly as Liu Zhang? I'm afraid that before it started, I was jointly ousted by these people, right?

Sun Quan's fist on the table was trembling, his flesh and blood trembled, his eyes were firmly fixed on the dark ahead, I don't know how long it took, Sun Quan's whole body relaxed, and his head was buried on the table.

In the future, no one will know that on this night, Sun Quan cried.

…………

Above the Weishui, a small boat, two old men drifted with the tide, one black and one white in plain clothes, just like a master.

The two are Zhuge Ci, the patriarch of the Zhuge family, and Sima Hui, the southern patriarch of the Sima family. The two were coming out of Hanoi and heading to Chang'an.

"Liu Zhang actually came back from the dead, the shaft is really hateful, I thought we could continue our plan, but now there are many variables." Sima Hui said with a slight anger.

Zhuge Ci touched his white beard and smiled: "At the beginning, we agreed that in troubled times, my Zhuge family and your Sima family will take the world, and now that the political situation in the north is clear, the people of your Sima family should go out of the mountain, right?" Why did the Hanoi Sima clan push back? ”

"Now that Cao Cao's morale is flourishing and there is no setback, even if the people of my Sima family go out of the mountain, they will not be reused, how can they replace the position of Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others?"

"Definitely." Zhuge Ci shook his head: "At this time and that time, if there is no Liu Zhang, Cao Cao is almost invincible today, Cao Cao is naturally arrogant, we need to support some warlords to frustrate their spirits." In this way, the children of the Sima family can go out of the mountain and be reused.

But with Liu Zhang, Cao Cao already has an opponent, we don't need to deliberately defeat Cao Cao, but we should go out of the mountain as soon as possible, with Liu Zhang, there will be no less war. Can't your Sima family come out yet? ”

Zhuge Ci looked at Sima Hui with a smile, and Sima Hui muttered: "Is it too early to go out of the mountain now?" I'm still waiting for Liu Zhang to defeat Cao Cao once. ”

"Playing with fire and setting yourself on fire." Zhuge Ci smiled softly: "Liu Zhang, this person, does not act according to the rules at all, it is difficult for us to control, or we can't control it at all, you look at the Jingyi clan now, almost uprooted, in a few days." More than 100,000 people are about to return to Huangquan.

This is a catastrophe for the world, and the brother still plans to use Liu Zhang? Aren't you afraid of raising tigers? ”

Zhuge Ci smiled: "My suggestion is that the Sima family immediately go out of the mountain and strip Cao Cao's trust from Guo Jiaxunyu, and the first thing we want to destroy is Liu Zhang." If Liu Zhang can't withstand the beating and is quickly destroyed, then we can find another big defeat for Cao Cao. ”

"In this way, it will be difficult." Sima Hui shook his head.

Sima Hui was really embarrassed in his heart. The Sima family and the Zhuge family profited in troubled times, which was a big gamble and a luxurious feast for the development of the Eastern Han dynasty to the peak.

The people in the Sima family and the Zhuge family did not develop. Before you can win the world, you must not let the princes of the world dominate, this is a principle.

Cao Cao is now strong enough, so the Sima family is reluctant to help him, only when Cao Cao is defeated, and there is a force in the world that can compete with Cao Cao, can he slowly let the children of the family control power in the war.

Sima Hui's plan is to let the Zhuge family cultivate Liu Bei first, let Liu Bei take Yizhou and Chang'an Sanfu, so as to form a force that can compete with Cao Cao, and then cultivate the children of the family.

As for the clan in Jiangdong, Sima Hui couldn't understand it anymore, he just wanted to keep his one-third of an acre of land, as long as Liu Bei and Cao Cao decided the victory, they would surrender, at least they would not resist with all their might.

But now it's difficult.

The embarrassment is Liu Zhang, if according to normal logic, Cao Cao should not be allowed to grow too strong, let Liu Zhang frustrate Cao Cao's spirit, or leave it to Liu Bei to attack, at least not in Cao Cao's hands.

In other words, it is necessary to prevent Cao Cao from expanding his power from Liu Zhang's territory.

But Sima Hui understood Zhuge Ci's worries, at this time, let Liu Zhang go, let the weak Liu Bei plot, in case Liu Zhang is completely strong in the future, strong enough to threaten Cao Cao, then wouldn't today be a good opportunity to weaken Liu Zhang?

Thinking of this, Sima Hui had a headache, and hated Liu Zhang even more in his heart.

"I look at this matter, let's leave it to the Sima family in Hanoi to decide for themselves, I am just a representative of the Sima family in the south, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere with the Sima family in the north." Sima Hui said eloquently.

Zhuge Ci shook his head, from Jing Yi's series of measures, from the initial Jiangzhou massacre, to the current uprooting of the clan, at first he thought that Liu Zhang would be defeated, but now it seems that Jing Yi's two states will tend to be stable, and Liu Zhang has successfully completed a noble reshuffle.

Zhuge Ci already believed that Liu Zhang was the most important threat to the world clan.

The conspiracy of the Zhuge family and the Sima family should be slowed down, and the first task is to eliminate Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is a mouse in the rice jar, if you don't take it out, this jar of rice will never be able to put your mouth down.

And now the Sima family wants to let this mouse eat rice, although the mouse is small, the amount of food is large, what if the rice is eaten?

Let Cao Cao Sun Quan and Liu Bei join forces to destroy Liu Zhang, and then map the world, this is what Zhuge Ci wants, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, Jiangdong and Liu Zhang have enmity, and now there is a Cao Cao.

Zhuge Ci had a hunch, Sima hesitated, and he would regret it one day.

…………

Chengdu, in mid-July, Chengdu was busy, farmers were busy taking care of their rice, merchants were busy expanding their business, and the government was busy sorting out the new policy.

And all the rebels of the world clan will also be executed today, Liu Zhang set up a huge shrine platform on the bank of Dujiangyan, becoming a beheading platform, it is the Ghost Festival, inviting the people of the whole city to watch the ceremony and celebrate the festival together.

The soldiers gathered and waited outside the mansion, Liu Zhang visited Huang Yue and was leaving the mansion, and suddenly Lotus flew over, tripped halfway, and said urgently: "My lord, it's not good, Mrs. suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain, you go and take a look." ”

Liu Zhang's and Xiao Furong's faces sank at the same time, and they hurriedly walked towards Huang Yue's room, and Liu Zhang shouted as he walked: "Quickly pass on Zhang Zhongjing." ”

Zhang Zhongjing quickly arrived in the room. Zhang Zhongjing only glanced at it, and said loudly to Liu Zhang: "Adults are not good, the fetus is moving, call the midwife." ”

It's only been nine months now, Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue, who was sweating in pain on the bed, and was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the midwife. Since Liu Zhang knew that Huang Yue would give birth prematurely, he has always known that the midwife is in the house.

When the midwife arrived, Liu Zhang, Zhang Zhongjing and others retreated, and Zhang Zhongjing bowed to Liu Zhang: "My lord, I am incompetent, I still let my wife give birth early, my wife's maternity palace has been displaced, and it may be very dangerous." ”

Liu Zhang shook his head anxiously, his eyes fixed on the door. said casually: "It's nothing to do with you, it's good to be able to keep it until now." ”

Listening to Huang Yue's suppressed painful voice inside, Liu Zhang's heart was pinched, and he prayed in his heart that nothing would happen, and the child would not have anything to do. That's his real flesh and blood, and his mother doesn't want anything to do, Huang Yue has suffered so much for herself, if something happens. Liu Zhang will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

At this moment, a midwife opened half of the door and said urgently, "Who is the doctor?" Madame is bleeding profusely, come in and take a look. ”

Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly walked in after Liu Zhang's nod, Liu Zhang's heart was even more anxious, after half an hour, the child was still not born, but Huang Yue's painful voice became weaker and weaker.

Liu Zhang's whole heart hung up, and at this moment, a soldier came to report: "Report to the lord, Lord Huang Quan, Lord Wang Fu asked the little one to tell you that the officials, the people and the gentry have all rushed to the shrine, and all the prisoners have been escorted, please go over to preside over the ceremony immediately." ”

"Get out." Liu Zhang roared, and the soldier's face immediately turned white, his body was unstable, and he fell on the steps all of a sudden, looking at Liu Zhang in horror.

Liu Zhang only realized that he had lost his temper after yelling, he had never been like this, he took a deep breath, and said to the soldier in a gentle tone: "You go down to restore your life, just say that I will be there soon...... You go and get fifty dollars. ”

"Oh, yes, Lord Xie." The soldier looked at Liu Zhang nervously and ran away tremblingly.

After another ten minutes, Wang Xu glanced at the sky and knew that Liu Zhang was in a bad mood now, but there was no way, Halloween was a major festival in Shuzhong, and if he missed the time, he would be very unpopular, so he had to step forward and say: "Lord, we must rush to the shrine before noon." ”

Liu Zhang looked at the direction of the door, frowned and nodded, at this moment, Zhang Zhongjing pulled the door out with blood on his hands, Liu Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Mr. Zhang, how is it?" Has the child been born? ”

Zhang Zhongjing smiled bitterly, if the child is born, can't you hear the cry? But he didn't dare to say it, and frowned: "The bleeding has stabilized, but the situation is still very bad, the lady has fainted, the midwife is working hard, when it will be born, it's really hard to say." ”

In fact, what Zhang Zhongjing wants to say is that it is really hard to say whether it can be born or not.

Liu Zhang glanced at the sky, it was impossible to wait any longer, and grabbed Zhang Zhongjing's hand tightly and said, "No matter what, please Mr. Zhang do his best." ”

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he waved his hand to his own soldiers, turned around, Zhang Zhongjing suddenly stopped Liu Zhang, hesitated, and asked: "My lord, I will definitely do my best in the future, but there is one thing I have to ask you first." ”

Liu Zhang's heart jumped: "Say it." ”

"At present, it seems that Mrs. and the child can only be saved, and if, in the following case, if only one can be saved, Mrs. and the child, adults...... What do you mean? ”

Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Zhongjing, his gloomy face could almost squeeze out water, such a choice was really painful.

After a long time, Liu Zhang clenched his fist tightly, the nail of his thumb sank into the palm of his hand, and said two words in a deep voice: "Madam." ”

After speaking, he didn't stay anymore and left with his own soldiers.

Zhang Zhongjing and a group of pro-soldiers were very surprised, in this era, the choice between wife and child, there is almost no doubt that the child is chosen, the child can inherit the family business, what can the wife do? If you die, it would be nice to marry another one.

Xiao Furong made a mistake and quietly followed Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang frowned and looked ahead, galloping quickly.

Liu Zhang took 2,000 soldiers to Dujiangyan, Dujiangyan was not called Dujiangyan at this time, but called Xiangyi, this is because of the Yulei Mountain next to Dujiangyan, Li Bing called "Maoshan", and at that time the main inhabitants around Dujiangyan were the Qiang people, they called the weir "堋", so Dujiangyan was called "Maoyan".

When Liu Zhang heard this name, it was really awkward, and with a stroke of the pen, he immediately changed it to Dujiangyan.

As a result, the three dazzling characters of Dujiangyan were engraved on the side wall of the shrine.

There have long been crowds of people here, in Shuzhong, the Ghost Festival is a major festival of the Heavy Yang Festival, both the government and the people attach great importance to it, this year's Ghost Festival sacrifices to the sky, and coincides with the rebellion to pacify, change the heavens and the earth, the people finally get rid of the oppression of the world, obtain the land, do not need to be exploited by the world, pay taxes directly to the government.

In both urban and rural areas, as long as no one in the family is executed, they are all happy.

After ten days of criticism, these people saw one shocking crime after another, and hated these people even more, especially their participation in the arrest, and immediately felt that these people were heinous.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the shore of Neidu Jiangyan, together with the gentry and merchants who did not rebel, as well as civil and military officials and soldiers, together with prisoners.

There were about 30,000 prisoners, and the women had been taken to other places, distributed to meritorious soldiers, bought and sold to wealthy merchants, and many singles who did not have daughters-in-law also took out their hard-earned savings, and even borrowed money, and bought a few ugly ones to go home, so that they could be used.

The rest are left to the official brothels, each with its own place. (To be continued.) )
