Chapter 147, Jiangdong's Choice
Jiangdong, Nanxu.
"Lord, Cao Cao sent an envoy here, and now he is resting in the pavilion."
"Damn! Lone new was defeated in Hefei. Is the thief trying to humiliate me? ”
After the report was reported, Sun Quan suddenly collapsed from the eucalyptus.
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose for a while, you will send someone to sprinkle salt on your wounds, isn't it too unmartial arts!
"My lord, put your anger away for the time being."
Zhang Zhao felt that Cao Cao sent someone to come, maybe he had other intentions, and he was busy persuading Sun Quan first.
Then he looked at the next person and continued.
"Who's coming?"
"Zhang Gong, the surname of the person who came is Jiang Mingji."
Zhang Zhao nodded his head when he heard this, and then continued to report to Sun Quan.
"Lord, this Jiang Jizhao does know. Its words are clear, and it is Cao Cao's staff official to Yangzhou Don't drive. ”
(Although Sun Quan actually occupied Yangzhou, he did not delay the old Cao Fengzhou pastoral officials to disgust Sun Quan.) Holding the Son of Heaven in his hand, he has orthodoxy and righteousness. )
"The two families have been fighting for years, and their lives have been devastated. Now that Jiang Zitong comes, he must have the meaning of peace, and he can receive it politely. ”
"And now Cao Cao and Guan Yu Zhuge Kongming are facing Jingzhou, and they will plot to make my Jiangdong attack it."
Zhang Zhao, as an old minister in Jiangdong, saw through Cao Cao's idea at a glance. But I still persuaded Sun Quan to receive it, and I am afraid that it is also willing to take the bait.
"Hmph, Cao Cao has a good calculation!" Sun Quan snorted coldly when he heard this.
If there was no battle of Hefei, Sun Quan would not have considered it.
But the defeat of Hefei does not say that Jiangdong lost troops and generals, that is, Sun Quan's face was swollen, so it was so easy to unite?
"My lord, the interests of the world are exchanged. Now Jiangdong was defeated in Hefei, and Cao Liu fought in Jingzhou. The lord should rest his anger for a while, and seek a long-term opportunity. ”
"Jingzhou, adjacent to Jiangdong. It has millions of citizens in the nine counties, and it has the power of the three kingdoms of Chu, Wuyue and Yue. If you can become a king, you can also sit in the southeast and watch the wind and clouds when you retreat. ”
Zhang Zhao: Quanzi, don't make trouble, it's important.
"This! Ay! ”
Although Sun Quan was extremely reluctant when he heard this, he could only sigh deeply. As a qualified prince, you can't come from this own nature.
"Please ask Jiang Ji to come and see me!"
In the end, Sun Quan agreed to meet him, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged literati to walk in.
"Ji, meet Wu Hou!" Jiang Ji saluted respectfully.
"Mr. Zitong doesn't need to be polite, I don't know why your lord sent you here?"
Sun Quan is clear in his heart, but etiquette is a thing that can be seen through and not broken, and it has to go through a form.
"Duke Wei and Marquis Wu have no enmity, and they both have quarrels because of Liu Bei. The king of Wei sent down to here, it was about the general to capture Jingzhou, and the king of Wei approached Hanchuan with his troops, and attacked Liu Bei from head to tail. ”
"After breaking Liu, the two families divided the territory and swore not to invade each other!"
Jiang Ji first presented Cao Cao's handwriting, and then said in a high-sounding voice.
None of the people present believed this kind of thing.
Do Liu Bei and Cao Cao have a grudge? Not strictly either. To put it bluntly, they are all competitors in the world.
If the world is stable, maybe these two people can become confidants and friends.
As for attacking Liu Bei first, and then listing the territory and sealing the territory, they will no longer attack each other. Since the old hooligan Liu Bang did it again, he has no credibility.
A dead enemy is a good enemy.
"Heh, sir, please go down and rest for a while, and let Gu discuss with everyone."
Sun Quan finished reading the handwriting, but he didn't answer for a long time, and finally said.
Jiang Ji heard that he wanted to say more, but seeing Sun Quan's expression, he knew that it was useless, so he could only give up his hand and retire first.
After Jiang Ji retreated, the lobby couldn't help but fall into silence.
He is a Jiangdong minister, and he is not a dumbfounder, and the average intelligence of the ministers present is more than eighty.
Liu Bei has an alliance with his own side, as well as the family bond of Mrs. Sun. Although Xiangxiang and Sun Quan have turned against each other, after all, blood is thicker than water.
Furthermore, Sun Liu is weak, while Cao Cao is strong. There is no reason for the two weak to fight each other and take advantage of Cao Cao.
But there is a more real problem, and the Jiangdong side needs to develop. If the situation is clear today, the three families of Sun Cao and Liu will be treated.
Cao Cao had already tried, and only 60,000 of the 100,000 troops were left in the Battle of Hefei, and Dong Xian Chen Wu, one of the twelve tiger ministers, was killed in battle.
Now in the whole Jiangdong, the children are disobedient and say that Zhang Liao is coming, and they are all directly scared and crying.
There was no choice but to fight Liu Bei.
As for what covenant of friendship? It's worthless. Jiangdong has an invincible naval army, and it can stand firm after conquering Jingzhou.
"My lord, although what Jiang Ji said is a word, it is not unreasonable. Today, you can send Jiang Ji back and date Cao Cao to fight each other. On the one hand, let people cross the river to explore the movements of Jingzhou, and then they can do it again. ”
At this time, Gu Yong walked out and suggested to Sun Quan.
When he went north to attack Hefei, although Sun Quan had already had his intentions, Gu Yong also supported it.
Now that Hefei has been defeated, he may have made another suggestion out of the idea of atonement for his sins.
"My lord. Jin heard that Wenyun Changzi came to Jingzhou, Liu Bei married his wife, a son, and a second daughter. His daughter is still young and has not been allowed to write a person. ”
"A certain man is willing to propose to the son of the lord. If Yun Chang agrees, he will discuss with Yun Chang to break Cao Cao; If Yunchang refuses, then help Cao take Jingzhou. ”
At this moment, another middle-aged scribe walked out of the field. This person's temperament is not bad, but his image is a little too long and like a donkey......
Zhuge Jin, the word Ziyu. Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, the tiger of the Zhuge family's dragon and tiger dog.
His suggestion was not as extreme as Gu Yong's, but left a room for one step. Now the Sun-Liu alliance still needs to be maintained, on the one hand, because Sun Liu is relatively weak.
On the other hand, his younger brother was reused under Liu Bei, so he naturally didn't want to meet his younger brother.
The most important thing is that Zhuge Jin understands that his younger brother is in Jingzhou, and with his ability, Jiangdong may not be able to make contributions.
"Okay, okay, just follow Ziyu's words. Jiang Jike first asked him to stay in the pavilion for a while, and then talk about other things after seeing Jingzhou's reaction. ”
Sun Quan only felt thoughtful when he heard this, and clapped his hands and decided.
Zhuge Jin did not dare to delay after receiving the order, so he went to Jingzhou. When he passed by the camp of Chaisang, he saw a boat waiting on the river.
"Brother Ziyu!"
"The Grand Duke!"
Two people walked out of the cabin and greeted Zhuge Jin on the deck. When the latter saw it, it turned out to be the Metropolitan Governor Lu Su hurriedly saluted.
Zhuge Jin thought that Lu Su had an explanation, and then boarded the Lu Su ship.
"I've seen the Metropolitan Governor, Bo Yan."
"I don't know why the Metropolitan Governor is waiting for Jin here?" Zhuge Jin asked.
"I heard that Cao Cao sent an envoy to Jiangdong, but it was to unite the lord and plot against Jingzhou?"
It has only been 16 years since Jian'an, and the great plague that took the lives of many heroes and people has not yet arrived, and Lu Su is still alive and kicking.
"Sun and Moon"
As the governor of Eastern Wu, he could naturally receive information about some troubles in Nanxu.
Jin didn't dare to hide it, it was. It's just that the lord is still ambiguous about Jingzhou. ”
"On a trip to Jingzhou, I was proposing to Yunchang for the son of the lord. If Yun Chang is willing, he will plan to break Cao, and if he is unwilling, he will help Cao take Jingzhou. ”
There is nothing to hide, Zhuge Jin explained.
"Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor has other plans? If so, Jin immediately turned around and informed the lord. ”
Zhuge Jin thought of Lu Su and Lu Xun waiting here, and then asked again.
"Now Liu Bei has Jingyi, and the lord is only Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, Liu is strong and Sun is weak."
"If the lord of Hefei is victorious, he can plot against Cao Cao Qingxu. But Hefei was defeated, and all we could seek was Jingzhou. ”
"This is not to hinder it, but to ask Ziyu to tell the lord ......."
