Chapter 378: Liu Bei ascended to the throne of Hanzhong

"I didn't expect Zijing to be like this, and Guo Zhongchen was also!"

Wei Tao sighed, Lu Su would go to persuade Sun Quan, naturally because of Wei Tao.

What Lu Su said was not what Wei Tao asked him to say, but Wei Tao himself thought of it, and he believed that if he explained the matter to Lu Su, Lu Su himself would definitely make a decision.

In fact, it can be said that Wei Tao guessed correctly, but Wei Tao didn't expect that Na Lu Su would be loyal to this point, although he successfully persuaded Sun Quan, but in the end he was countered with his life.

"General, the lord is now exhausted, it is difficult to govern himself, I believe that the general's time is not much, but I don't know if the general can be at the invitation of the lord?"

This time, the messenger was Zhang Zhao, and he asked Wei Tao with a hand.

"As long as you can keep the lord's wealth and wealth, you can get the land of Jiangdong, and I believe that the general can still make a choice. What's more, the lord's sister Rong Li is also a good match for the general, and the general also understands it. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, when it comes to Wei Tao's status, he naturally will not say that he has any resistance to marriage, and when he thinks of Sun Quan's sister, isn't it Sun Shangxiang?

For this strange woman with the name of 'Bow Waist Ji' in history, Wei Tao is also interested in seeing it.

"What Zibu said is very true, I can guarantee that as long as Sun Quan leads the people to surrender, I will definitely ensure that the Sun family will be rich and noble, and Zibu also knows that I am from a family, so I naturally understand the benefits of the family, although I am sending people to occupy Jiangdong, but I will also maintain the original Jiangdong policy unchanged to maintain Jiangdong's stability."

Wei Tao is a human being, so he naturally knows why this Zhang Zhao still has to send a special envoy to come. Indeed, as long as Sun Quan personally surrendered. But in this way, the interests of the Jiangdong Shi clan may not be guaranteed.

Zhang Zhao came. I'm afraid it's for my own remarks.

In fact, if it is possible, Wei Tao does not want to make such a wish, so it is very easy to form a situation where the tail is too big to fall.

But unfortunately, Wei Tao can't be like this.

As Zhang Zhao said, his rear was unstable, although there was no news coming, Wei Tao believed that Cao Cao and Liu Bei must be attacking very urgently at this time. The only way to do your best is to recruit Sun Quan.

So for the time being, Wei Tao also made such words.

"Obey the general's orders, I am replying to the lord, and if I want to come to the lord, I should immediately go out of the city and surrender."

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhao was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said, seeing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart.

Even if this Zhang Zhao is an old minister, he may have the meaning of loyalty in his heart. But in fact, I am afraid that private interests are more important than public interests.

got Wei Tao's promise, but Sun Quan couldn't. After Zhang Zhao replied, soon after, he immediately led people out of the city, walked to Wei Taojun with the seal in hand, and offered a request to surrender.

For Sun Quan, after Wei Tao accepted his invitation to surrender, he still sealed him as a duke, and he was hereditary.

With this duke, Sun Quan also put down his mind and cooperated very well to order Jiangdong to surrender.

The news of Sun Quan's surrender soon spread, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were attacking very urgently, were shocked and had to stop.

However, although Cao Cao stopped the army from attacking Jingzhou, Cao Cao was worthy of Cao Cao, and immediately ordered people to send troops to Yangzhou to seize all the land originally occupied by Jiangdong.

If Sun Quan did not surrender, even if Sun Quan was trapped in Chaisang, those generals who defended the city would naturally not surrender lightly.

But now that Sun Quan has surrendered to Wei Tao, these generals naturally can't take care of so much, and they have directly led their troops to surrender to Cao Cao, and in just a few days, the entire Yangzhou has fallen into Cao Cao's hands.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei is not so lucky.

Originally, it was not smooth to attack Jingzhou, Xu Huang was cautious and had the style of a general, Wei Tao sent Pang Tong to plan on the side, even if Liu Bei was assisted by Zhuge Liang, but he was not allowed to advance at all.

More importantly, Zhuge Liang fought wits with Pang Tong in Jingzhou, and it was impossible for him to be the host in the first game of Xiliang.

The real host of the Xiliang battle is Ma Chao, originally Ma Chao can also be said to be both wise and brave, and it is more than enough to hold Xiliang.

It's a pity that the Ma family was originally a warlord in Xiliang, although they didn't say that they wanted to betray Liu Bei at this time, but they still had a little bit in their minds, and when the war was going well, they were a little sparse.

In this way, Ma Chao gave Xun You a glimpse of the flaw, and used his desire to occupy Xiliang and revitalize the Ma family, and directly lured the enemy deeper.

Not only did it hit Liu Bei's army hard, but also those who were dissatisfied with Wei Tao among the Qiang people were also severely damaged here, which can be said to be a complete victory.

If it weren't for the difficulty of Shu Road, maybe it would be unknown to take advantage of the situation to counterattack Sichuan and Shu.

Generally speaking, after this battle, Wei Tao has already secured the position of the first prince in the world, and although Cao Cao is slightly inferior, it is enough to compete with Wei Tao.

As for Liu Bei, he can only rely on the difficult and dangerous Shu Road, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It can be said that at this time, Wei Tao is the most likely person to unify the world, and Cao Cao is not without opportunities, but although Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, he can only stick to one country.

At this point, even Liu Bei himself knows it, how can Liu Bei endure such a situation?

After getting the information that Wei Tao occupied Jiangdong and surrendered all parts of Jiangdong, Liu Bei couldn't hold back anymore and immediately found his subordinate ministers Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang.

"Filial piety, Kong Ming, if this is the case today, although our army has a strategy to resist Cao, but if it is trapped in Shu, isn't this just like that Sun Quan? Sun Quan has the benefits of the Yangtze River, but he can't resist Wei Tao, if Wei Tao comes to attack, can our army stop it? ”

Liu Bei's question was very direct, and at first glance it sounded like there was a sense of surrender, but Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei's face and knew that it was not the case, this was Liu Bei's real question.

"Lord, Shuzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack is different from Jiangdong, Jiangdong is based on the Yangtze River moat, but Liang has heard of it, as early as a few years ago, the general has set up a naval army, crisscrossing the sea. Therefore, Jiangdong's geographical location is advantageous for our army and Cao Cao, but for Wei Tao, it is the power to fight. ”

Zhuge Liang knew the principle of step-by-step, and did not forcibly argue at the beginning, but slowly analyzed for Liu Bei to calm his mind.

"As for Shuzhong, if there is no topographic map of Shu, just the vertical and horizontal rivers of Sichuan are enough to make people fascinated, let alone walk through it. If Wei Tao comes, as long as he sends several troops to hide in the mountains and forests, cruise behind him from time to time, and cut off his grain route, it will not be long before he retreats without a fight. This is the undefeated strategy of our army! ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded slightly, and his heart was also flat, but he was still depressed on his face.

"In the past few years, I have been fighting in the south and the north, and what I am seeking is to one day be able to support the Han family and reproduce the majesty of my Han Dynasty. It's a pity that Beishi is incompetent, and he has been running around until now, but he is the only place in this state, and he can't do it when he sees that Wei Tao has a big Han trip, but he can't do it, and he can't grieve in his heart. But now, can Bei only sit here and wait for the collapse of the big man? ”

"The lord must not be so decadent, although the Han Dynasty is declining, but the Han Dynasty has been in decline for four hundred years, where is it so easy to fall?"

Hearing Liu Bei crying like this, Fa Zheng immediately persuaded him.

"The lord is the orthodox Han family, and he has a large army, and there are wise and resourceful people like Kong Ming under his command, and brave generals like Yun Chang and Yide, why worry about the great cause?"

"My lord, what Fa Xiaozhi said is true, but now that the Han Dynasty is in crisis, it is necessary to gather the orthodox name of the Han Dynasty to gather the heroes of the world to help the lord. If it weren't for the lack of cronies under the lord's command, how could there be the defeat of Xiliang? ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang also slowly spoke, after this incident, Ma Chao and other Xiliang generations, who were already untrusted, were naturally even more distrusted.

Of course, Ma Chao and other Xiliang people are not weak after all, and Liu Bei is the time to employ people, and he will not self-destruct the Great Wall.

But a courtier like Zhuge Liang had to take precautions for Liu Bei.

"The lord and the view of Sun Quan, can also be said to be a heroic moment, but after the generals left by his father and brother are all dead, and the generals he promoted are also dead, he can only helplessly surrender on his knees. It's nothing more than that Sun Quan has no one to trust, even if the time is delayed, Jiangdong will no longer have it! ”

Although he didn't go to Jiangdong in person, it was like seeing it in person, and Zhuge Liangguo was extraordinary.

"Kong Ming's words are true, but what should I do now?"

Liu Bei nodded slightly, he can naturally understand this truth, but some things can not be done if he understands them, and talents will not come for no reason.

"Please elevate the lord to the throne!"

Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to bow to Liu Bei.

"Four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty is now declining, but Yu Lie still exists, but the Han family has no hero, and the people of the world are scattered, such as today, only the lord is the hero of the Han family, if the lord can be promoted to the king of Hanzhong, then he can rise up to the Han family Yu Lie to do a fight!"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei was stunned, but this meant a bit of desperateness, but if you think about it carefully, can Liu Bei still not fight at this time.

"But the Son of Heaven is still in Cao Cao's out, what if he doesn't promise?"

It's not that the Son of Heaven doesn't promise, it's that Cao Cao doesn't promise.

"Lord, Fang is in a hurry today! If this is the case, I'm afraid I can't take care of it a lot, no matter what, now the lord is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and he is doing it for the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, and some trivial things are helpless even if they can't be taken care of! ”

Zhuge Liang actually had some times when he had no choice at this time, but he was so desperate that he knelt down and said directly.

"Now that the Han family has reached a critical moment of survival, for the sake of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, the lord must no longer hesitate, please do a fight!"

"Please also ask the lord to do a fight!"

Fa Zheng also bowed down and knelt down. (To be continued......)
