Chapter 1155: Opportunity
Wu Guo lurked in Luoyang a lot of fine works, Luoyang side of the earth-shattering changes, naturally Wu Guo fine work in the first time to report to Lu Kang in Yiyang. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
No one can hide such a major event, and Wu Guo's meticulous work can collect more detailed information without much effort, and then pack it up and send it to Yiyang.
This time the Shu Han destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and the Wu State could be regarded as picking up a big bargain now, and the land of the five states of the Kanto region was included in the territory of the Wu State without bloodshed. Of course, this division is only nominal, the three kings of Kwantung who were entitled, on the surface, submitted to the state of Wu, but in fact they were self-reliant, and did not respect the orders of the court of the state of Wu.
This matter has caused a lot of dissatisfaction on the side of the Wu court, the five states of Kwantung have just changed their flags, the entire Wu country is jubilant, civil and military officials are celebrating each other, the territory of Wu has nearly doubled in an instant, and the entire hinterland of the Central Plains has been included in the territory of Wu State. This is an unprecedented thing, you must know that the emperor Sun Quan has never crossed the Huai River throughout his life, and the annexation of the five states in Kanto can be said to be a great success.
But after the heat subsided, Wu realized that it was not the same thing at all, although Wu nominally occupied the five states of Kwantung, but in fact, except for planting the flag of Wu on the edge of the Yellow River, Wu basically gained nothing.
The land of these five states is like a country among three countries, and the court of Wu cannot send a single soldier, an official or an official, and cannot collect a penny of taxes, and the needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be splashed, and the Wu people do not have the slightest control over the land of the five states.
Someone suggested to Emperor Wu Sun Hao that he give some rewards to the three kings of Kwantung, and ordered them to come to Jianye to see them, and when they arrived in Jianye, they would take them hostage, and the land of Kwantung would be at their fingertips.
Sun Hao followed his words, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a rich reward, in triplicate, and sent them to Shouchun, Chenxian and Linzi respectively, and at the same time issued an order to summon Shi Bao, Chen Qian, and Ma Long into Beijing.
Unexpectedly, after the three of them received the order, they accepted all the rewards according to the order, and all the things about entering Beijing were politely rejected without exception, and they all shirked on the grounds of the tension of the war.
Sun Hao beat the dog with meat buns this time, and he lost a lot of gold and silver treasures, but in the end he got nothing, and he hated Shi Bao, Chen Qian, and Ma Long so much that they bit their teeth. It's a pity that no matter how great Sun Hao's imperial power is, he can't help these three people, Sun Hao is holding back the fire in his belly, and he has nowhere to vent, so he naturally turns his anger to Lu Kang's body.
This matter itself was done by Lu Kang, and some people in the DPRK and China came up to impeach Lu Kang, saying that Lu Kang was bent to welcome him, lost his power and humiliated the country, and spent money and grain in the national treasury in vain, but he gained nothing.
Sun Hao immediately issued an order to Lu Kang, asking him to solve the problem of the land of Wuzhou as soon as possible, if Shi Bao, Chen Qian, and Ma Long still refused to obey the order, Sun Hao asked Lu Kang to immediately send troops to solve it by force.
After Lu Kang received the order, he was in a dilemma, and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, gave him a big problem.
Recruiting Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Ma Long, Lu Kang had already tried his best to promise them countless preferential conditions, which in exchange for the change of flag of the five states in Kwantung.
Now the situation in the world is clearer than anyone else, Shu Han coerced the power of Jin, the momentum is huge, the current Wu State, there is no ability to compete with it, if the five states of Kanto belong to Shu Han again, then the situation in Wu is even more sinister.
Lu Kang took advantage of Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Ma Long's unwillingness to surrender to Shu, and skillfully maneuvered, so that they nominally surrendered to Wu, but in fact enjoyed extremely high autonomy, so that Wu at least reduced one opponent and increased an ally, and in the future confrontation with Shu Han, it would not be left behind.
But the people on the side of the court didn't think so, they and Sun Hao had the same thought, since they had surrendered to the state of Wu, then Chen Qian and these people had to accept the orders of the court of the state of Wu and let the people of Wu send them.
This kind of thinking makes Lu Kang unable to complain, these people around Sun Hao, how brain-dead do they have to be to come up with these tricks, if they don't give people some power to stand on their own, why would Chen Qian Shibao Ma Long and them return to Wu State, the territory and population occupied by the three of them are not much better than the territory of Wu State.
Lu Kang took the holy decree, and the 10,000 heads in his heart were galloping by, if he sent troops according to the holy decree, Chen Qian, Shibud and Ma Long would be reversed when they landed, and the two sides fought, and the last one who profited could only be the Shu Han side, and Wu Guo could only lose his wife and fold his troops in the end.
But if you don't send troops, Lu Kang will be charged with disobeying the decree, and now Sun Hao's brutality is getting worse day by day, and many ministers are slaughtered just because of a trivial matter or a word of advice, and now the entire Jianye court is panicked, and Lu Kang can't help but be faintly worried.
When it comes to Sun Hao, Lu Kang can't help but sigh, when Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu supported Sun Hao, they thought that Sun Hao was wise and decisive, and had the demeanor of King Huan of Changsha, now it seems that Sun Hao is not as wise and courageous as Sun Ce, and he is brave enough to cover the world, but he has Sun Ce's arbitrariness, fierce and domineering, and the three people of Puyang Xing, Zhang Bu and Wanyu, who supported him at the beginning, were killed by him successively.
Now in the state of Wu, Lu Kai, the prime minister of the left, Ding Feng of the right Da Sima, and Sima Shi Ji of the left, these important ministers of the court have died one after another, and the talents have withered, coupled with Sun Hao's brutality and mediocrity, many capable people have abandoned their officials in order to avoid disasters.
And Lu Kang's health is not good, since last year, his illness has been getting worse day by day, and all the generals have persuaded Lu Kang to return to Beijing to recuperate, but Lu Kang is worried about side affairs, and he is still leading the troops with his illness, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Now the strength of Shu Han has brought endless pressure to Lu Kang, after Shu Han destroyed the Jin, the next spearhead will inevitably be directed at Wu State, if the Shu soldiers come to attack, how will Wu State respond, this is undoubtedly the most urgent problem to be solved by Lu Kang.
At this time, the detailed work lurking in Luoyang handed over a piece of information, the intelligence showed that after the Shu Han moved the capital to Luoyang, the earth-shattering changes occurred, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui conspired to launch a rebellion, and after the failure, both died, and then, the frightened Shu Emperor Liu Chan died that night, and his fifth son, Liu Chen, the king of the North Land, succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and now the Shu Han court is busy with funerals and enthronement matters.
Lu Kang, who got the news, couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seemed that this long-awaited opportunity had finally arrived.
