In the face of the general trend of history, a small wave is insignificant.

Whether Zhou Shan was sent by Eastern Wu or arranged by Cao Wei to lurk, in fact, it did not have much impact on the overall trend.

The Sun-Liu negotiations soon came to an end, and the two sides also reaffirmed the alliance, and the so-called theme of "abandoning the past suspicions, carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future, uniting to look forward, and jointly resisting the national thief Cao Cao" soon appeared in the main public opinion circles of Jinguancheng.

After negotiations, in order to get the 10,000 Wu army prisoners, Sun Quan ceded Jiangxia County in addition to the three counties in Jiangnan.

Although Zhuge Jin gave up Jiangxia, within Sun Quan's psychological bottom line, and debated with many civil officials of the King of Hanzhong, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "The eight counties of Yizhou are alone, and there is even more land of Jingchu, but it is not as brilliant as Eastern Wu." Wu has Zhuge Ziyu, and he does not disgrace his master, and I have no one to enter Wu to achieve loneliness. ”

Suddenly, one of them came out of the class and said, "The minister is willing to be the envoy." "In the eyes of the public, it is a new savage of Yiyang, surnamed Deng, named Zhi, and the word Bo Miao, Ren Guanghan is too meritorious and promoted to Shangshu.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "Loneliness makes people go to Wu Hou." Bo Miao will be able to live up to his mission. It is necessary to make Wu's appointment. ”

So Liu Bei rewarded Deng Zhi and made him go to Wu Tong with Zhuge Jin to show the grand intention of Wang Gang of Hanzhong to form an alliance.

In February of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Deng Zhi entered Wu, and after some tedious etiquette, Zhuge Jin asked Deng Zhi with a little pride: "My Jiangdong etiquette, compared with Sichuan and Shu, which is closer to the prestige of the Han Dynasty?"

"Koto is closer. Deng Zhi smiled faintly: "The king of Hanzhong only uses benevolence and righteousness, not etiquette." If you can't eat the ancients, you can get it?"

Zhuge Jin was stunned, his face turned red, and he no longer begged for money verbally, but just introduced Deng Zhi into the hall according to the system.

Sun Quan is a male lord, and he also attaches great importance to talents, and when he sees Deng Zhi, he is also very respectful, and he ordered Zhi to go to the palace, sit down and ask: "I heard that Uncle Liuhuang, the king of Hanzhong, gave a heavy minister's seat, in order to show that he was respectful. He laughs.

"Wu Hou is happy to see kindness, and he is also a hero. Deng Zhi also praised.

After the end of the mutual blowing, Sun Quan said: "The king of Hanzhong broke Cao Cao in Hanzhong, Guan Yun was long in Xiangfan Zhenhuaxia, and 6 Ziming also played a book, praising Uncle Liu Huang's soldiers and bravery. Sun Quan said with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Dao gave Gu a gift, and Gu discussed it with the princes, and he could roughly guess what this gift was." Although this gift is hot, Lone has also received it, and you can return to Uncle Liuhuang. ”

"In addition, the mission of the ministers is not to be ordered by the Marquis of Wu. Deng Zhi's tone was calm.

For Liu Bei's gift, Jiangdong was very helpless.

But since the Sun-Liu Alliance, this gift has to be accepted.

It turned out that the gift sent by Liu Bei was the level of Cao Wei's "five good generals" Xu Huang.

"King Hanzhong, this is a blame for Jiangdong. ”

Although he had to accept this gift, there were still people in the main hall who couldn't help but speak.

Deng Zhi looked at him, recognized that he was engaged in Zhonglang severe, and the word mancai, and said with a smile: "If Wu Hou doesn't dare to accept it, Zhi will bring it back." ”

"Don't worry. I Jiangdong also repeatedly fought with Cao Cao, the battle of Chibi that year, also defeated him Cao Cao's 800,000 army, although in Hefei can not advance an inch, but lonely when the hard work is. ”

Sun Quan said lightly,

As soon as he said this, the ministers stopped talking, even Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, these old ministers were also silent, Deng Zhi saw that his heart moved, Sun Quan deserved to be a generation of heroes, even if there was a failure in the sneak attack on Jingzhou, but he had extreme prestige in Jiangdong.

"According to the Sun-Liu Alliance, the matter of resisting the national thieves, I Jiangdong has my own decision, that is, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River will be exchanged, and Jiangxia County will also be handed over, and other things, Gu also agreed. ”

"Back then, the Sun-Liu alliance worked together in harmony. One side is at war with Cao Cao, and the other side should at least remain neutral in good faith. Deng Zhi had a calm face: "The king of Hanzhong has something unclear, why did I lead the Jingzhou army under the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion to attack Xiangfan, and the general Lu Meng under the command of Wu Hou would lead the army to enter the Jingzhou territory without permission?"

"This matter has already been explained to Uncle Liu Huang, it is Cao Cao's provocative plan, presumably with the wisdom of Uncle Huang, he will definitely understand Lone's hard work. ”

Sun Quan's face did not change when he spoke, and his expression was extremely calm, as if he was just explaining that he had accidentally stepped into Jingzhou. Deng Zhi looked at it in his heart, and he also secretly admired.

"Since Wu Hou said so, in order to prevent the recurrence of the same mistakes next time, please also transfer 6 Xun and his army. ”

Deng Zhi spoke coldly, his face expressionless, as if he was not engaged in diplomatic negotiations, but only in the process of making announcements.

"What are you kidding!" Sun Quan was furious: "Where my Jiangdong army is stationed, I have my own solitary decision, how can he Uncle Liu Huang question it?

"Since Guan Yunchang conquered Xiangfan and forced Cao Cao to move the capital to Luoyang, under the command of the king of Hanzhong, the Northern Expedition of the thieves and the call for Kuang to support the Han family were rising, and the prince Jingzhou fought a battle, famous all over the world, there were young people who were willing to serve the prince and capture Jiangdong, so that the king of Hanzhong had a general expedition to the north, without the disturbance of the flanks, the king of Hanzhong had benevolence and virtue, and he was unwilling to make the covenant ink dry, and the two sides raised troops again. It's just the morale of the people, and it must always be appeased, if your country does not transfer the 6 Xun and show the intention of peace, how can the king of Hanzhong appease his subordinates?" Deng Zhi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It's not a secret, the prince also recruited the envoy to be transferred to the prince's mansion, if the Marquis of Wu doesn't want to negotiate peace, you don't have to go back, please behead the envoy, send the head of the envoy back to Jinguancheng, the king of Hanzhong will send the prince to lead the army, day and night!"

When he said this, he really raised his eyebrows and felt happy in his heart.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei has been wronged under the threat of Cao Cao and Jiangdong, whether it is Zhuge Liang entering Eastern Wu, or Liu Bei marrying, they are all trembling, and dare not tear their faces with Eastern Wu, that period of time is the most embarrassing time for Liu Bei Junchen.

Unexpectedly, Feng Shui took turns, and Shizi Chan defeated the strong with the weak in Jingzhou, which caused the Eastern Wu to be terrified, and even the male masters such as Sun Quan were compromised and did not dare to be tough, which made Deng Zhi very excited.

As soon as he said this, there were those who were angry and weeping among the ministers in Jiangdong, and the old minister Zhang Zhao drew his sword and wanted to kill him, but he was immediately stopped by the guards. Sun Quan changed color and sat down on the throne, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "I will follow your words!"

After Deng Zhi was led out of the main hall, Sun Quan suddenly pulled out his long sword, slashed a corner of the table with a sword, and said angrily: "It's really a shame! It's a shame!"

The young Ling Tong stepped forward and shouted: "I am willing to lead the army to the west, punish Guan Yu, destroy Adou, and share the worries of my lord!"

Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, and Pan Zhang were excited by their blood and bravery, and they came out of the crowd and asked for their orders to fight.

Sun Quan slammed the table and shouted, "Enough!"

At this time, Guan Yu returned to Jingzhou, and he was completely invulnerable, and even if Sun Quan's many generals screamed, they could not recover the military gap.

He glanced at the ministers: "A few years ago, Liu Xuande was still groveling, but now it is thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, just a Deng Bomiao, and he dares to command in my hall, such a shame, what face will he have to see his father and brother after a hundred years of loneliness!"

"Liu Xuande is also a person, Zhuge Liang is also a person, Liu Adou is just a little naughty boy, Lone should work hard, be diligent in government and love the people!

The ministers solemnly received the order, and Sun Quan said: "Although Lone is allied with Liu Bei, but the situation is not enough, Cao Cao returns the rank of Ziming and Yigong, and Lone also has to pay tribute,"

After finishing speaking, he arranged for the secretary to go north to Luoyang.

At this time, Cao Cao moved the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and ordered all places to pacify the civil strife. Cao Cao took the book and looked at it, and said: "The minister Sun Quan has long known that the mandate of heaven has returned to the king, and he hopes that he will be on the throne as soon as possible, and he will send the general to exterminate Liu Bei and sweep away Jingyi. ”

Cao Cao laughed after watching it, and showed the ministers and said: "Zhongmou Xiaoer wants to make the lonely stove on the fire!"

Chen Qun and others in the service said: "The Han family has been declining for a long time, His Royal Highness's merits are majestic, and the living beings look up." Now Sun Quan is called a minister, and this heaven and man should respond, and the strange breath is in unison. His Royal Highness should be in favor of the heavens and be in the throne early. ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I have been a Han for many years, although I have merit and the people, but as for the king, the name is already extreme, how dare I have more hope? Sima Yi said: "Now that Sun Quan is a minister, the king can confer an official title and refuse Liu Bei." "Follow it, and seal Sun Quan as a hussar general, the marquis of Nanchang, and lead the Yangzhou pastor. On the same day, an envoy was sent to Soochow to pay tribute.

Even so, he also understood that this move could not break the Sun-Liu Alliance.

He thought: "Liu Xuande's son Adou is so brave, Sun Zhongmou is eloquent, and he looks at the number of lonely sons, only Zihuan can compete with them, Zijian has the demeanor of a celebrity after all, and he is greedy for a cup and mistaken things, but Adou Xiaoer wrote a few days ago, and he is afraid that after Zihuan succeeds to the throne, he has the intention of murdering his brother." ”

Thinking of this, he summoned Cao Pi and handed him the letter that sealed the boat at the beginning, Cao Pi read it, sweated on his back, knelt on the ground and cried: "This is all Adou Xiaoer's provocative words, please father and Wang Ming." Pi must love his brother and cherish each other. ”

Cao Cao saw Cao Pi's crying sincerely, and his heart was greatly relieved, so he summoned Cao Hong, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, etc., to the couch together, and told the future, "Lonely in the world for more than 30 years, all the heroes have been wiped out, and there is Jiangdong Sun Quan, and Liu Bei of Western Shu has not been eliminated." Lonely and critically ill, he can no longer talk to the secretary, and he is entrusted with family affairs. The eldest son, Cao Pi, is honest and respectful, and can inherit my business. It should be assisted. ”

After he finished his housework, he sighed and burst into tears. After a while, he died of exhaustion. He was sixty-six years old.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, accepted Chen Qun's suggestion, set up the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and successively quelled the rebellions of Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei.

In July of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu's troops went out of Xiangfan and led the army to the Northern Expedition, but at this time Cao Ren had already relieved his strength, with the assistance of Man Zhong and others, and after a big battle, Zhang He led the army to help, and finally repelled Guan Yu's attack.

Guan Yu was forced to withdraw from the army, thinking that he would not be able to send troops in two or three years, so he had to plead guilty.

Cao Pi stabilized the situation in the north, and when he saw that the situation was ripe, he and Jian'an forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to make concessions in October of the 25th year, ascended the throne and became the emperor, changed the Yuan to the beginning of the Huang Dynasty and set the capital Luoyang.

After the news reached Jinguancheng, Feng Zhou understood that he was going to make progress again.
