Chapter 876: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Sun Shao was very surprised, speechless for a long time, Zuihou glanced at Wei Ba in admiration, and bowed to salute.
The three people he was talking about were not just the three children of the Sun family.
Sun Shao is Sun Ce's son, and he has been idle in Wu, not only can he not talk about the marquis, but he doesn't even have a title that can be mentioned, let alone lead the army to fight. He is a thorn in Sun Quan's heart, and no one dares to touch it easily. Even if Sun Shao is Sun Shao's brother-in-law, he will not mention this matter easily.
Sun Song is the son of Sun Yi, he is a little stronger than Sun Shao, he can be regarded as an official, a marquis, and a little decent so-so. However, he did not lead the troops, and he was still an idler.
Sun Tai is the son of Sun Kuang, and his mother is the daughter of Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De. Sun Kuang was also unpopular among the Sun brothers because of his marriage to the Cao family, and he never became a leader and died at the age of twenty. After Sun Tai became an adult, he became a captain of Changshui, which was an idle position like Sun Song.
These three people were the most suppressed people in Sun Quan's clan, and Sun Shao's request to take a few of them on the expedition had two meanings: one was to express his dissatisfaction with Sun Quan's previous policies, and the other was to test Wei Ba. If these people go out to make meritorious contributions, the Shili of the Sun family may re-raise their heads, and generally speaking, Wei Ba will definitely not agree to his request out of prudence.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ba almost didn't hesitate and immediately agreed. Sun Shao had to admit that this young man was either numb and unsophisticated, or he had a good stomach and could tolerate anyone.
Judging by all indications, Wei Ba doesn't seem to be a numb person. The latter explanation makes more sense.
Sun Shao was very satisfied.
Wei Ba immediately called two more people: "General, when you go overseas, these two people will take over your defense area." You guys get to know each other first, and then we can do some handovers later. ”
Sun Shao looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhou Yin? How do you ......"
Zhou Yin pursed his lips: "Henghai General Zhou Yin, I have seen General Sun." ”
Sun Shao looked at Zhou Yin for a moment and sneered: "It turns out that I was promoted, no wonder, no wonder." ”
Zhou Yin said with a cold face, but Xiahou Xuan picked up the conversation. He said with a smile: "General Sun." He was promoted on the basis of his military exploits. ”
"Yes, I really haven't heard of what kind of merit he made after entering the Han Dynasty, and he can become a general of Henghai in one leap."
"To tell you the truth, our army can fight all the way from Wujun to Yuzhang. General Zhou is the first credit. ”
Sun Shao was taken aback. The scalp tingles.
Zhou Yin's eyes shrank: "The general has been in Guangling for many years. I don't think I met any opponents, this tactic is ...... I haven't made much progress in years. ”
Sun Shao's face was red, and he glared at Zhou Yin. I didn't say anything for a long time. Now he understands that Weishenme Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan led the troops as scholars, and they were so clever as soon as they made a move, and they beat the Wu army's sailors to the ground. It turned out that behind them was Zhou Yin, a person who knew everything about the Dongwu sailors. In this case, everything is logical.
Sun Shao glanced at Wei Ba in awe, and felt a little afraid in his heart. He knew that Zhou Yin had resentment in his heart, and he didn't want to entangle with him more, so he turned his head to look at the other person Wei Ba introduced: "This ...... It's familiar. ”
Ding Feng bowed and saluted: "Lujiang Ding Feng, once followed General Zhichong and General Fuguo to fight, and served as a general five years ago. ”
Sun Shao remembered. He was not as mean as he was to Zhou Yin. In his eyes, a general like Ding Feng is not worth mentioning at all.
Xiahou Xuan smiled slightly: "His wife is the young daughter of General Zhichong Gan Xingba. ”
Sun Shao was shocked again. Gan Ning still has a daughter alive? He was immediately frightened, after Gan Ning's death, Sun Quan was not very kind to his descendants, and Gan Pei's death was largely related to Sun Quan. Now that Gan Ning's daughter and son-in-law have returned to Jiangdong, I don't know what will happen again. Wei Ba picked these two people who were originally Wu generals to take over his defense area, it seems that he is also a scheming Jihua, no wonder he promised so happily just now, it turned out that he had already prepared.
Wei Ba saw Sun Shao's shock in his eyes, and he said quietly: "General Sun, your old department, as long as you are willing to take it away, you can take it away, and I will recruit it again." I have already discussed with Lu Boyan and Zhang Huishu, and they will help me recruit new soldiers. ”
Sun Shao sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that he didn't have much capital to negotiate with Wei Ba. Wei Ba didn't want his soldiers at all, with the support of the Lu family and the Zhang family, and the prestige of the god generals, it was very easy for Wei Ba to recruit 10,000 people. Compared with the old unit that took over him, it would take a little longer to do so, but it also avoided a lot of trouble, and basically there would be no situation where the command would not move.
For Wei Ba, time is not a problem, nor is money, of course there is no need for him to take over his old department, and there will be unnecessary contradictions.
The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and if you agree, you have to agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree. Sun Shao readily accepted Wei Ba's proposal, took away more than 8,000 of his old departments, and handed over the rest to Wei Ba. Zhou Yin and Ding Feng took over, selected those people, were willing to be soldiers, and the conditions were good to stay, and those old and weak were all sent home to farm.
Half a month later, Sun Shao boarded the battleship with more than 8,000 elites, and he was accompanied by Sun Shao, Sun Song, and Sun Tai. Before going offshore, Sun Shao wrote a long letter to Sun Quan, detailing what had happened, and reporting to Sun Quan everything Wei Ba had done in Guangling in the past half a month.
After Sun Quan received the letter, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
……
It was not only Sun Quan who looked up to the sky and sighed, but also Sun Yuan, the newly promoted prince of Yan.
After more than a month of traveling, Wei Xing, the envoy of the Shu Han court, finally rushed to Xiangping and handed over the edict of the Son of Heaven, asking Gongsun Yuan to declare himself a vassal to the Chengdu court and fight against Wei together.
Gongsun Yuan originally wanted to knock Wei Xing out with a mockery, but he had already accepted Cao Wei's gift, how could he accept the Shu Han court again. Besides, Cao Wei is by his side, but Shu Han is thousands of miles away, as long as he is not a fool, he can know which one to choose.
However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. He remembered the sentence he had said.
Wei Ba's expedition Jihua reached his ears more than a month ago, not detailed enough, but enough to tell. Gongsun Yuan is not stupid, of course he knows what Wei Ba wants to do, seal a king, and then use Liaodong's war horse resources to form a cavalry, and treat Liaodong as a sharp knife inserted into Cao Wei's back, which is a miracle for Wei Ba, but for him Gongsun Yuan, accepting this title is equivalent to being tied to Wei Ba's chariot, whether he agrees or not, Wei Ba will occupy Liaodong, and he is only left with an empty prince, just like the current Wu Wang Sun Quan.
With this in mind, he accepted Cao Wei's title. At least Cao Wei has no possibility of an expedition to Liaodong at the moment, and it will not affect the independence of his small kingdom.
However, when it was time for the envoy of the Shu Han to salivate, he hesitated.
Is it rational to tear your face with the Shu Han court? At the moment, it seems that Shu Han is too far away, but in a few years, who knows what the situation will be. Five years ago, no one thought that Shu Han would take the initiative.
Gongsun Yuan really wanted to find Guan Lu to make a divination, but after that time, Guan Lu never showed up again and disappeared completely.
Gongsun Yuan asked people to send the Shu Han envoy to the post house to rest, and then found his son Gongsun Xiu and asked him to go to the post house to explore Wei Xing's tone.
Gongsun Xiu received the order, came to the post house, and asked for a very polite meeting. After sitting down, he said some polite words that were not salty or light, and then complained of bitterness. What Liaodong is weak, not Cao Wei's opponent, so he has to compromise and temporarily deal with Cao Wei and the like.
Wei Xing looked at Gongsun Xiu and said nothing, until Gongsun Xiu himself felt bored and closed his mouth, and then said casually: "Do you think Chengdu is too far away and beyond the reach of the whip?" ”
Gongsun Xiu laughed awkwardly, noncommittal.
"Do you know that the young master of my family, the general of the Che Cavalry, has arrived in Guangling?"
Gongsun Xiu shook his head, with a blank expression: "The general has arrived in Guangling?" ”
Wei Xing knew that he had a pretend. Even if he didn't know that Wei Ba had arrived in Guangling, he should know that Wei Ba was on the way to Guangling, and the army of tens of thousands of people was moving, and he couldn't hide his whereabouts at all, unless Gongsun Yuan's father and son were indifferent to the crisis they were about to face, they would definitely be able to guess what was going to happen next. The father and son are as cunning as foxes and greedy as wolves, how could they not know it, they are just pretending.
"Guangling is indeed a little farther away, and it's normal for you not to know. However, if I can't return with a result that satisfies the Che Rider General, I'm sure you'll soon feel his presence. ”
Gongsun Xiu blinked: "General Che Cai is ready to attack Liaodong?" ”
"The preparations for attacking Liaodong are not yet good, but it is not difficult to attack Yingzhou." Wei Xing looked at Gongsun Xiu with a smile, "If you are interested, you might as well prepare a water master." ”
Gongsun Xiupi said with a smile: "General Che Cai has the strongest warship in the world, how dare we have a water war with him." However, Yingzhou is a part of Qingzhou, and if you want to take Yingzhou, I'm afraid the Wei army won't let you get it easily. On the sea, you are dominant, and when you get to the shore, the Wei army is still stronger. ”
Wei Xing bowed his head lightly in agreement. "Yes, our army will take Yingzhou, and the Wei army will definitely fight back with all its might. However, how many iron cavalry does the Wei army still have, and while defending Luoyang, does he still have the strength to support Yingzhou? ”
He raised his hand and interrupted Gongsun Xiu, who was about to refute: "Don't hide it from the prince, when I set off from Chengdu, the young master of my family said that Ling Zun is a rare hero, but he is just in a corner, and his vision is inevitably short-sighted. If I don't give you a little bit of power, you don't know who to listen to. He grinned: "So, taking Yingzhou, I don't mean to be there, just to let you see if Cao Wei is powerful, or we are stronger." ”…… (To be continued......)
