Sun Zhaoyuan had an idea, and said in his heart: "If you take this opportunity, first wipe out the hanging island, let Gongsun Wu's power be greatly reduced, and then find a way to let him be in a corner of peace, and be the master of his dead country in the border country of Na'an, the Nie Er clan and the previous dynasty, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and there will be no more war, so I don't have to get involved in it, and I am in a dilemma." then took the opportunity to find a way to operate Prince De to Anbian Kingdom, and let Gongsun Wu detain him in the name of hostage, which can be regarded as saving Prince De's life. "The plan has been decided.

Sun Zhaoyuan arched his hand and said: "Lord Lu, although Emperor Yan will dismiss this matter with all his might, it is not a safe way, that Yongwang Li Yongding is a king of villains who are greedy for profit, even if this peace negotiation fails, it must be beneficial to negotiate with the Nie Er clan again in the future." If it is negotiated at any time, Hanging Island will take the opportunity to surrender to the Nie Er clan, and there will also be. If the two sides meet again, the two sides will have a grudge against each other, and the peace talks will be a spring dream. ”

Lu Zhong said: "It's naturally good to be able to provoke disputes, but King Yong is now living in a corner and doesn't want to make progress, if he is allowed to take the initiative to attack the mainland, he will definitely refuse." Moreover, the king of Nanyu and the king of Yong in Jianzhou also had private contacts, and the two princes reached an agreement not to attack each other in private, and there were also them. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is also easy, it is not a secret, if the two sides want to meet each other, it is also an easy thing." ”

Lu Zhong said: "What is so wonderful about Lord Sun? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Prince De has a prestige in the Nie Er clan, if Prince De is taken as a hostage, Emperor Yan will definitely send troops to attack." Buckle the Prince of De, for the Yongwang and even Gongsun Shengshang, there are two benefits, one is that this person is the prince, but in addition to the Yan Emperor, the face of the Nie Er clan, if the Prince De is detained, it is to make the Nie Er clan lose its prestige and hit its morale, and the second is that the Prince of De is staggered in the imperial court, if he treats Prince De well, and waits until the feelings are getting stronger, the Nie Er clan has suddenly undergone a big change, and the Prince of De has become the Son of Heaven, Prince De will definitely return the favor, the land and money and grain, and it is just a handy thing, and the later agreement is to divide the country and rule, and the Nie Er clan rule to the south, It is also possible for the previous dynasty to rule to the north. ”

Lu Zhong said: "There is indeed some truth, but I am afraid that King Yong may not agree." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This matter is indeed difficult for King Yong, let him take the initiative to detain Prince De, he must be unwilling, detain Prince De, Emperor Yan will send troops to fight, he will definitely be afraid." But the king will not, and we will force him to will. ”

Lu Zhong said: "Forcing him to be willing? He is the lord of the hanging island, how to force him? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I will secretly play Emperor Yan and report to him the private friendship between King Yong and King Nanyu." Emperor Yan is a witty master, and he must order Jianzhou to attack Hanging Island to test the authenticity, and at that time, Lord Lu persuaded King Yong to detain Prince De and give preferential treatment, and this matter will not be done. ”

Lu Zhong said with a smile: "Master Sun is really far-sighted and convinced. Emperor Yan will trouble Lord Sun on his side, and when Emperor Yan sends troops, I will definitely be able to convince King Yong. ”

Lu Zhong was afraid of being discovered, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he gave up.

Sun Zhaoyuan went out to find a restaurant, begged for some pen and ink, and found a secluded place and wrote: "Congratulations to the saint Wan'an: the minister Sun Zhaoyuan tried his best to do an errand for the saint on the hanging island, it turned out that the king of Yong and the king of Nanyu in Jianzhou, She Bigui, had already conspired, and privately said that they would not attack each other, and She Bigui made this move, and the minister thought that he had the heart of not being a minister, and hoped that the saint would investigate." The minister thought that he had seized this time and ordered Jianzhou to send troops to attack Hanging Island to break the alliance between the two. I just hope that the saint will have mercy on the loneliness of the ministers, and send the ministers back in advance to avoid the disaster of war. ”

After writing, I put it in a personal bag, took it back to the post house, found a hidden carrier pigeon, tied it to my leg, and put it back in the secret fold of the capital.

The matter of the hanging island, Emperor Yan already knew everything, was thinking about how to deal with it, watched Sun Zhaoyuan secretly play the plot of King Yong and the king of Nanyu, and said in his heart: "Ordering Jianzhou to attack the hanging island is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, one is to break the conspiracy of the two, so that the two people have a mustard, and they will no longer ally in the future, and second, the hanging island is negotiating, at this time attacking the hanging island, Li Yongding is not popular, and in a fit of anger, he beheaded Prince De, and the threat of me can be removed." It's just that the soldiers of Jianzhou are all in the hands of the king of Nanyu, and he refuses to obey orders, and I am beyond the reach of the whip. ”

Emperor Yan thought about it for a long time and made three wills.

The first one was sent to Sun Zhao far away from the hanging island, and asked him to return to the Zhangcheng Mansion of Jianzhou to serve as the patrolman of the Sipin Hanging Island temporarily appointed by Emperor Yan, and the commander to deal with the affairs of the hanging island.

The second is to give Jiangzhou General Ma Ming a secret order, asking him to secretly drive the 5,000-strong sailors of the Haizi Battalion under his jurisdiction to Zhangcheng Mansion by warship, and the new Hanging Island Patrol Sun Zhaoyuan will be unified and controlled.

The third way is to give a secret order to She Bigui, the king of Nanyu, to gather the troops of the water division within a month and start a war with the hanging island.

Emperor Yan asked the first and second secret decrees to be whipped quickly, and the third secret decree to the king of Nanyu was delivered ten days slowly, so that Sun Zhaoyuan would have time to calmly leave the hanging island and return to Zhangcheng Mansion.

Emperor Yan said in his heart: Let the king of Nanyu put on a posture of attacking the hanging island, he will not really attack, and when the time comes, let Sun Zhaoyuan lead the sailors of the Haizi battalion to attack the hanging island, break the alliance of the two kings, and take the opportunity except for Prince De.

Sun Zhaoyuan received the secret decree and came to bid farewell to Prince De. At that time, Prince De also learned from the letter of Tang Zhishangshu, the governor of Jianzhou, that Emperor Yan had no resentment towards the disrespect of King Nanyu, so he knew Emperor Yan's intentions. Seeing that Sun Zhaoyuan came to resign, he said: "Lord Sun can retreat this time, and this king is estimated to die on the hanging island." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Not necessarily, there is no endless road, the prince is good to talk about peace, and it is unknown what will happen next." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan can't say it clearly, he can only let Prince De understand it himself, if he understands the chess game, there is still a way to live.

When Li Yongding heard that Sun Zhaoyuan was leaving, he didn't detain him, but just lightly told the officials who came to report that he knew.

Sun Zhaoyuan took Yu Yinqiao with him, boarded the ship and left the hanging island, and went to Zhangcheng Mansion.

Sun Zhaoyuan went to Zhangcheng Mansion and met Tang Delu, the prefect of Zhangcheng Mansion. That Tang Delu is the slave of She Bigui, the king of Nanyu, and has been slapping horses in front of She Bigui since he was a child, oppressing the good. She Bigui trusted him very much, and when he inherited the title, he immediately arranged for this person to take up the post of Zhangcheng Mansion and unify any party.

Tang Delu had been hanging Sun Zhaoyuan for half a month, and it was not until Emperor Yan's decree reached the hands of King Nanyu that Tang Delu hurried to see Sun Zhaoyuan.

That Sun Zhaoyuan was inspecting the army on the battleship of the Haizi Battalion, and Tang Delu said: "Lord Sun, I didn't expect that such a small boundary in Zhangcheng Mansion would usher in your big Buddha. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan listened to his tone, which was very unpleasant, so he naturally knew the reason. Except for the governor of Jianzhou, who was appointed by the Son of Heaven, all the other officials were confidants of the king of Nanyu, and his grandson Zhaoyuan went to the boundary of Jianzhou, just like Emperor Yan drove a nail in Jianzhou, and all Jianzhou officials would feel that it was an eyesore.

Sun Zhaoyuan was not angry, and said: "Lord Tang, this official is not a big Buddha, but just the will of the Holy Lord, let the general leader of this official deal with the affairs of the Hanging Island, and the rest of the political affairs, the official does not care, but let Lord Tang decide." ”

Tang Delu said: "This is natural, this official is the prefect of a prefecture, although Lord Sun is the same as this official, he is a four-grade official, but he also pays attention to not being in his position and not seeking his own government." The internal affairs of the government are all matters within the responsibility of the official, and no one else is allowed to interfere. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is nature. ”

Tang Delu said: "The five thousand soldiers of the Haizi Battalion, the Holy Lord sent you to control it, and the official naturally can't control it, but in the territory of the official, if there is a transfer, you also need to ask for the consent of the official." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is Lord Tang's no." The Haizi battalion is a subordinate general of the Jiangzhou general, and it is not something that can be controlled by the officials of Jianzhou, and it has already been ordered by the Holy Lord, and it is under my control, you and I are both four-grade officials, I am not a subordinate of Lord Tang, if the soldiers are transferred, there is naturally no need for Lord Tang's consent. ”

Tang Delu thought that Sun Zhaoyuan did not need to ask for his consent to transfer the generals, Tang Delu said: "Since Lord Sun thinks that there is no need to ask for the consent of this official, then please forgive this official for not providing grain and grass for the Haizi Battalion." ”

Tang Delu smiled and left.

Sun Zhaoyuan said in his heart: "This person doesn't give a station, doesn't give food and grass, how can he go to the hanging island to fight?" ”
