Chapter 155: The Wrath of the Blue Eye
The news of Biqiujian's defeat in Liaodong soon spread to all parts of the world.
Soochow naturally received the news as soon as possible.
After learning that Cao Wei's troops were defeated in Liaodong, Sun Quan was very happy, and hurriedly summoned two henchmen in Jianye: Zhuge Jin and Gu Yong, to discuss how to lay out next.
After seeing the two important ministers in his palace, Sun Quan was very happy.
"Hahahaha, two Aiqing, Lone received the news that Cao Wei and Qiu Jian were defeated in Liaodong, and the loss of more than 50,000 soldiers was lost, as Lu Boyan expected, Biqiu Jian's crusade against Gongsun Yuan was defeated!"
Zhuge Jin and Gu Yong actually got the news a long time ago, seeing that Sun Quan was so excited, after the two met their eyes, Zhuge Jin arched his hand and said to Sun Quan:
"The defeat of Cao Wei is a blessing for our country, and I want to congratulate Your Majesty!"
Gu Yong also arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the time for my Wu Kingdom's Northern Expedition to recover Xiangyang is coming, I'm afraid it's coming." ”
A few months ago, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin, and Gu Yong discussed the general trend of the world, and Lu Xun thought that Wei was fighting at both ends, and as long as one was defeated, he could take the opportunity to go north to recover Xiangyang, and then recover Xinye and Wancheng, and take Jingzhou.
At that time, Lu Xun expected that Biqiu Jian's crusade against Gongsun Yuan would be defeated, but he didn't expect everything to be as Lu Xun expected, Biqiu Jian was really defeated in Liaodong, so Gu Yongcai said that the opportunity for Wu's Northern Expedition was coming.
Sun Quan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also heard that Jiang Wei of Shu Han has now taken all of Cao Wei's Liangzhou, and in the battle of Longxi, he also defeated Guo Huai's army. ”
"Your Majesty is very true!" Zhuge Jin said with a smile:
"Jiang Wei is indeed worthy of being Zhuge Liang's descendant disciple, and being able to achieve such a result in Yongliang has far exceeded the achievements of his mentor Zhuge Liang back then, and now Cao Wei is in a disadvantageous situation at both ends, and it is indeed time to send troops."
Gu Yong also nodded and said: "Indeed, the time has come for my Wu Guoquan to take Jingzhou, Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
Sun Quan saw that his two important ministers supported him to take advantage of the defeat of Wei to launch an attack, and he was in a good mood, he had already arranged for Lu Xun to return to Jiangling in advance, at this time Jiangling Tun had 100,000 troops, just wait for him to give an order, he can wave his army to the north.
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, and was about to give the order of the Northern Expedition, when suddenly a little eunuch in the palace submitted an urgent document.
The document was presented by Lu Xun from Jiangling, and it was a hundred miles of urgency, Sun Quan didn't dare to slack off, and quickly opened the document, only to see that there were dense words written inside.
After Sun Quan finished reading it, his originally happy expression gradually became wrinkled, and after reading it, Sun Quan handed the document to Zhuge Jin and Gu Yong.
The two of them took the paperwork and read it quickly, both frowning when they finished reading it.
It turned out that in the official document, Lu Xun also learned the news of Cao Wei's defeat in Liaodong, but Lu Xun did not suggest that Sun Quan order a quick Northern Expedition, but suggested that Sun Quan wait a little longer.
After reading it, Zhuge Jin said: "Lu Boyan suggested that we wait, thinking that the time has indeed come, but we have to wait for Wei to react before sending troops, and it is expected that as long as our country and Shu do not move at this time, then Wei will inevitably be elite this time, and it is inevitable to settle Liaodong in a war, so it is possible to send Sima Yi." ”
Gu Yong also groaned: "Thinking about it carefully, what Lu Boyan said is quite reasonable, if our army immediately goes on a northern expedition at this moment, it will slow down the pace of Cao Wei Xing's troops to retaliate against Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong, and it is indeed advisable to be quiet and not move at this time." ”
Sun Quan has been in battle for a long time, and he also has his own unique views on the general trend of the world, Lu Xun's letter came in a timely manner and analyzed it very reasonably.
Now that Cao Wei has been defeated in Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong has become Cao Wei's number one confidant.
The correct approach is to watch the fire from the other side, sit back and wait for Cao Wei and Liaodong Gongsun Yan to fight a difficult solution, and then wave their troops north to recover Xiangyang in one fell swoop.
Sun Quan thought of one more thing, so he asked Gu Yong:
"Gu Aiqing, Jiang Wei of Shu State, since the end of the Battle of Longxi, has he fought with Cao Wei?"
Gu Yong carefully recalled the various information he had received recently, and then handed over his hand to report to Sun Quanyu:
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the minister's understanding, Jiang Wei since the Battle of Longxi, although he has sent several troops to try to recover Wudu, but each time he was repelled by the Wudu Wei army, and there has been no movement since then, presumably because Liangzhou has entered autumn, and it is about to enter winter, and the weather is getting cold, and it is not suitable for fighting, so he will stop fighting!"
Zhuge Jin said: "Maybe Jiang Wei of Shu is also waiting for the opportunity?" ”
Gu Yong's eyes lit up: "Are you saying that Jiang Wei is also waiting for Cao Wei to send an elite to fight Gongsun Yuan for a decisive battle?" At present, it is also taking the policy of watching the fire from the other side? ”
Before Zhuge Jin could answer, Sun Quan preemptively said: "This Jiang Wei has always been scheming, and most of his thoughts are also in his mind, this son should not be underestimated!" ”
Sun Quan sighed and saw it, but another eunuch came to report, saying that Liaodong had sent an envoy to Fuhai to ask to see His Majesty.
As soon as they heard that the envoy was sent by Liaodong, the three of them looked at each other, and they all felt a little confused, Gongsun Yuan, a shameless villain, actually had the face to send someone to Wu State, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Gu Yong hurriedly asked, "Did the envoy from Liaodong say what he was here for?" ”
The eunuch replied: "The envoy said that he was sent by Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, to pay tribute to the state of Wu, and the envoy also brought back 3,000 soldiers of Eastern Wu and a lot of wealth and tribute, which is the expression of the minister. ”
The little eunuch hurriedly handed over an official document with both hands.
As soon as he heard that the envoy from Liaodong was here to claim the minister, the memory of being teased by Sun Yuan, the prince of Liaodong, surged out in Sun Quan's mind, and he suddenly became furious, his blue eyes widened, and he shouted angrily:
"Bold! Gongsun Yuan shameless child, are I a fool when I am Dongwu? At this time, he actually had the face to call me a vassal of Wu State, which was too deceitful! ”
Zhuge Jin hadn't seen Sun Quan so angry for a long time, and seeing that Sun Quan was so angry, he hurriedly said to Sun Quan:
"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the envoy of Liaodong be beheaded immediately, and the soldiers and treasures brought by him should be collected in full, and as for the letter of the minister, it should be sent directly to Cao Rong!"
When Sun Quan heard Zhuge Jin say this, he calmed down a little bit of anger, and still said with residual anger:
"Come on, push out the messenger of Liaodong and behead it!"
Soon a guard took the order to leave, and after a while, a noise came from outside the palace, and it could be vaguely heard "The two countries are at war, do not kill the ......" and "King Wu spares his life!" and so on.
But it didn't take long for everything to fall silent again.
Only then did Sun Quan calm down and said to Zhuge Jin: "This Gongsun Yuan is a shameless child, and he still wants to use Lone as a gunman, it is too deceitful, Zhuge Aiqing is right, and he will directly forward this letter to Cao Rong, the emperor of Wei, so that Cao Rong can completely see what kind of person Gongsun Yuan is!" ”
"Yes!" Zhuge Jin hurriedly received the order.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Yuan, you can't live because of your own sin!" ”
