There are all smart people in the hall, so naturally they figured it out at the first time, and they all nodded in agreement. But only Sun Jian still said with some hesitation: "Second brother, if you do this, it is equivalent to us agreeing to submit to the Celestial Empire, have you thought clearly?" ”

"Big brother, do you think we still have a choice now?" Sun Quan asked with a wry smile. Of course, I don't want to rely on others to be able to stand on my own, but Zhang Chao only gave him three months, and now he has spent half of the time all the way, and he only has more than a month to spare, so he really doesn't have too much time to think about it.

In saying that, even if you are ready to join the Celestial Empire, you must have some contributions, otherwise, wouldn't it be that you have no status, and if you can take the Shu Kingdom, this is naturally a great achievement, and at that time you will have a status to find in the Celestial Empire, isn't it beautiful.

"Okay." Wu Wang Sun Jian was quick to speak, and he was angry with Zhuge Liang in his heart, and immediately said: "That's the case, the oath meeting will be held as scheduled, mobilize the whole country's soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and prepare to cut down Shu!" ”

At the scene of the oath meeting, when Zhou Yu and others were still waiting anxiously, Wu Wang, Sun Jian and others finally arrived. It's just that there is an extra second prince Sun Quan in the crowd, which makes everyone happy.

Sun Quan returned safely, which shows that the emperor of the Celestial Empire is not lying, but in this case, what excuse is there for using troops against the Celestial Empire?

Just when Zhou Yu and others were still thinking about whether to strike the army first, Sun Jian, the king of Wu, took his two sons to the stage and announced the official start of the oath meeting.

still has to send troops, everyone is puzzled, they don't understand which play this is singing, but it wasn't until Sun Jian's mouth said that he was going to send troops to start a war against Shu that the generals knew that the goal had changed. But most people who don't know about it are very puzzled by this decision, why don't they fight the Celestial Empire, but fight their allies, what is the reason?

In order to make the fighting spirit high and give birth to the heart of the same enemy, Sun Jian resolutely told what happened to the second son Sun Quan, and showed Meng You's head to the public on the spot.

The allies actually wanted to assassinate the second prince of Dongwu, as soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar in the army, and then there was a burst of hearts to ask for war.

Taking advantage of this shareholder wind and the unanimity of the army, Dongwu made preparations to start an army to attack Shu.

Suddenly, the situation in China changed. Originally, the alliance between Shu and Dongwu against the Celestial Empire evolved into a state in which Dongwu took the initiative to wage war against Shu.

Soochow will make a war against Shu, not only because Sun Quan was almost killed, but also because of the psychology of the top management of Soochow to adapt to the overall situation.

The Celestial Empire is so powerful, there is no doubt that even the northern power Rus has been defeated, such an opponent is far from being able to defeat by the alliance between Eastern Wu and Shu, and if you don't make a good one, you will learn to become a defeated country because of this, and at that time you will not even have your last dignity.

The general trend is like this, and Soochow has to think about himself. Taking advantage of the attack on the second prince, he dissolved the previous alliance and took the initiative to start a war against Shu, which is also tantamount to finding a decent step for himself. In this way, at least there is no need to face the invasion of the Iron Cavalry of the Celestial Empire, I think that with the influence of Concubine Huagui, the Celestial Empire will not be too difficult for Dongwu in the future.

The above mentioned is naturally a decision made by the high-level out of political considerations, and for ordinary soldiers and ordinary people in Eastern Wu, it is indeed impossible to see so far. Not only that, but even the soldiers and people of Shu were also puzzled.

Eastern Wu dissolved the alliance and began to prepare for war, and this matter spread to Shu like a gust of wind, causing a wave of panic there.

As the current ruler of Shu, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh after listening to the echo of the secret agent, Sun Quan was not dead, and Meng You's behavior was exposed, which made him fall into great passivity. It is not even an exaggeration to say that this is tantamount to his self-determination of the world.

Zhuge Liang is a person with great ambitions, and it is not too much to describe him as rich and smart. What such a person lacks is just an opportunity to display his talents. But if there is such an opportunity, it will definitely get ahead and be famous in the land of China.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's grasp of the opportunity is also not in place. supported Liu Bei, who did not seem to be strong at the time, and established the Shu Kingdom with his assistance, achieving the identity of a generation of prime ministers.

But the only thing that was wrong was that Zhuge Liang chose the master. Although Liu Bei also has intelligence, there is still a Zhang Chao, which is destined to make it difficult for him to become a weapon. The facts also prove this, and now the so-called Uncle Liu Huang has become a prisoner of the Celestial Empire and is being imprisoned in Jinyang City. And only Zhuge Liang was left struggling to support the situation, supporting the young master Liu Chan to support the situation. But because of Meng You's death, he is indeed in the most difficult time now.

If it is said that before Liu Bei was captured, with the strength of Shu, he was not afraid of the soldiers of Eastern Wu. But now, both military and financial resources have been compressed to a corner of the Shu Kingdom, and it is difficult to be the opponent of Eastern Wu. Not to mention, there is also the Celestial Empire on the side, which is preparing to do something to fall into the well.

The clever Zhuge Liang has already seen that this time Dongwu decided to start a war against Shu, not only because of Sun Quan's assassination, but also because of the fact that Dongwu's attitude has changed, and it should be the Celestial Empire that pressures them to surrender.

Dongwu has already expressed his position, and now he is only left with himself, maybe Zhuge Liang can also make the same decision as Dongwu, that is, to surrender to the Celestial Empire, presumably if he does this, he, including the courtiers of Shu now, will have a life, and even have the opportunity to be an official again.

It's just that Zhuge Liang really won't choose this.

I didn't choose Zhang Chao when I first came out of the mountain, and I won't do it now. Everyone will do the icing on the cake, but as far as Zhuge Liang himself is concerned, he is indeed a little shameless.

He was proud of himself and always thought that he was no worse than anyone else, and even thought that whoever he assisted would succeed. And how could a person with such a mentality be obedient to Zhang Chao?

"If you go down, you will say that Meng You was secretly captured by the agents of Eastern Wu, and this is simply their own trick in order to start a war with us and to curry favor with the Celestial Empire." In his heart, he made the decision to fight to the death, Zhang Chao called Wang Ping, a general who was extremely trusted, and gave him an order.

"No." Wang Ping said yes and turned to leave. As a general who also has some intelligence, how can he not see that what Meng You is doing should be the intention of the prime minister. It's just that at this point, what he can do is not to dissuade, but to obey orders, that is, even if he dies in battle, he will not be a traitor.

Eastern Wu is preparing for war, Shu is also preparing for war, when this matter reached the ears of Zhang Chao in Jinyang City, in front of the crown prince Zhang Tian and the important minister Lu Su, he laughed and said: "Okay, good." Even so, the matter of Shu has reached the time when it should be resolved. In this way, I also asked Zijing to make preparations for raising food. The prince went to inform the commanders of the army to train their troops well, and in the spring of next year, they will send troops to Shu and unify China. ”

Under the auspices of Zhang Chao, the First Emperor of the Heavens, the entire Celestial Empire took action. Conscription, rations, armor and weapons began, and the flames of war seemed to be ignited at any moment.

Since Zhang Chao was assassinated by the shadow, he has had a lot of insights in his heart, and he has realized more deeply that it is absolutely impossible to manage a huge country by relying on himself. So after returning to the capital after recovering from his injuries, he handed over more of the burden to the hands of the crown prince Zhang Tian.

Facts have proved that in the days when Zhang Chao was away, Zhang Tianjijing could play a very good role in supervising the country, and he was also in an orderly manner, and he was not even inferior to himself in the slightest.

As a latecomer, Zhang Chao, who is familiar with the powerful, knows too well where the chaos of the country began. Often the prince is not clear, which will cause national turmoil, and when the old and the new are alternated, it is often the most dangerous time for a big country.

In order to eliminate and reduce the risk of such a thing, Zhang Chao made an unprecedented decision, that is, to hand over more power to the crown prince Zhang Tian, so that he would not only be an honorary prisoner of the country, but also enjoy the power of the emperor.

In doing so, the benefits are obvious. The so-called state-owned good son will not die, and if the successor is established earlier, and this candidate is still suitable, then the future of the country will be full of more hope.

But again, there are disadvantages. For example, once the chosen successor has bad intentions, it will be a great danger to Zhang Chao himself.

Fortunately, Zhang Chao has been fighting horses all his life and has a very high status in the army, even if he transfers power to most of the prince, he doesn't need to worry about what someone dares to do to him. Because in the Celestial Empire, Zhang Chao is the soul, like the sun shining on the earth, and no one dares to be an enemy of him.

It is precisely because Zhang Chao knows that his influence is too far-reaching, so he dares to delegate power to the crown prince Zhang Tian, not only that, but he also decided to wait for the beginning of spring, when the expedition to Xishu, Zhang Tian will lead the team. What he needs is not only a descendant who can govern the country, but also an emperor who can fight well.

Zhang Chao's decentralization made the prince very moved, in order to prove himself, he was busy from morning to night all day, and he did not dare to slack off. And when doing anything, his father Zhang Chao will be an example, and when he encounters something that cannot be solved, he will also actively communicate with the important ministers and the army commander, unless it is difficult to make a decision, he will ask Zhang Chao for instructions, and under normal circumstances, he solves the problem independently.

Zhang Tian's performance, in Zhang Chao's eyes, made him very satisfied, and he praised him in public more than once.
