There is also a reason why Sun Quan chose not to turn his face and delay time for the time being.

In June, Cao Wei sent Jiang Jinan again, and this time, the purpose of Cao Wei was no longer as secretive as last time, but straightforwardly proposed to the Eastern Wu side that the two countries establish an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly resist Shu Han.

Cao Wei's meaning is very simple, before you Dongwu was obscene on the side, and even helped the Shu thieves to attack my Dawei together, these Dawei can not be cared about, but now, the Shu thieves are dominant, if you continue to sit back and watch like this, wait until the Shu thieves occupy Heluo and enter Yanzhou, and the Dongwu and Shu thieves will directly border. Could it be that Dongwu really thinks that the Shu thieves will not be moved by the land of Qingxu?!

If Shu and Wu are still in the previous alliance, then Shu may still abide by the alliance agreement. It's a pity that the current Eastern Wu and Shu are no longer allies, and they are only one step away from going to war.

Coupled with the fact that Dongwu attacked Jingzhou several times in a row before, did Dongwu think that the Shu thieves did not want to retaliate back?!

Fighting in Jingzhou, the Dongwu naval army is strong, and the Shu thieves will still throw rat traps, but in the Central Plains, can you Dongwu withstand the attack of the Shu thieves? !

At present, even the Great Wei has lost Luoyang, and can only retreat to Yanzhou, if the Shu thieves are allowed to expand wantonly, the final fate of Eastern Wu will not be much better.

After Jiang Ji met with Sun Quan and stated his strength, he finally persuaded Sun Quan and decided to establish an alliance with Cao Wei.

But there are still some small details that need to be negotiated with Cao Wei.

Therefore, in August, a few days before Deng Zhi's envoy to Eastern Wu, Sun Quan sent his own envoy to Yecheng to meet with Emperor Cao Rong of Wei to discuss the details of the cooperation.

And Sun Quan's conditions are actually two.

First, Sun Quan hoped that Cao Wei would take the initiative to withdraw from Runan, and at the same time hand over Peiguo and Peng Chengguo to the Eastern Wu side.

The other is that Sun Quan hopes that the two countries will exchange protons with each other to ensure the completion of the covenant.

These two conditions, as Sun Quan's envoy conveyed them to the Great Wei court, were directly fried in an instant.

Cao Rong's brain was pumped before he agreed to such a condition.

In the first condition, Peng Chengguo is not a big problem, after all, Cao Wei was originally semi-abandoned, and now it has been occupied by Eastern Wu, and verbally acknowledging that it belongs to Eastern Wu, and dividing the border is a bit embarrassing, but it is not an unacceptable result.

But Soochow still wants Peiguo, then it belongs to kicking the nose in the face.

And there's an even more disgusting part of it. The place of Peiguo is the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and when it came to Cao Wei, Peiguo had long ceased to exist, and this place was renamed and called Qiaojun.

Why?!

Because Cao Cao was born in Peiguo County.

After Cao Pi became independent in the Han Dynasty, he deliberately changed Peiguo to Qian County, and the governance office was set up in Qian County, and was set up as the "accompanying capital".

In other words, Dongwu not only wants to take away one of the five capitals of the Great Wei, but this place is also the hometown of Emperor Taizu Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty. Can the Great Wei Qunchen agree to such a thing?!

didn't turn his face directly, and sent troops to Huainan, which was already the result of the restraint of the ministers of the Great Wei.

And Sun Quan actually knew that he would not come to this place, and in terms of the geographical location of Qian County, in fact, it did not have much strategic value for the current occupation area of Eastern Wu, but Sun Quan still took the initiative to add this piece. Sun Quan actually wanted to tell Cao Wei that now between the two countries, the initiative to form an alliance or not is in the hands of my Eastern Wu.

There is no way, although Cao Wei took the initiative to send Jiang Ji to envoy to Eastern Wu and propose an alliance between the two sides.

But the problem is that the entire Great Wei court, from top to bottom, even Jiang Ji, who sent an envoy to Eastern Wu, has a kind of fascination and contempt for Eastern Wu.

Really, if it weren't for the current collapse of the situation to this point, if there was a choice, Cao Wei's entire court would not want to have anything to do with Eastern Wu.

Without him, the way this force does things is really unlikeable.

Therefore, even if the situation forced Jiang Ji to send Jiangdong to seek an alliance, he knew that he had to pay attention to his words and attitudes, but sometimes, when emotions came up, there was always a feeling that he couldn't control it.

Therefore, when talking to Jiang Ji and Sun Quan about the pros and cons of the situation in the world, Sun Quan could clearly feel that although Jiang Ji respected himself on the surface, there was always a feeling of "you don't understand, I will teach you" between his words.

Now that your Da Wei has been beaten to the door of the house, everything you can lose is almost lost. At this time, you came to me for help in Soochow, why did you still have a posture of "Lao Tzu is the boss"?!

Sun Quan was very unhappy with this, although because of the needs of the situation, Sun Quan could agree to form an alliance with Cao Wei, but the dominance of the alliance must be in his own hands.

Therefore, Sun Quan asked the envoy to join the matter of seeking to divide the county, the purpose was not to really want such a place, but to tell Cao Wei that the person who was in a hurry to form an alliance now was not my Eastern Wu, and if the alliance was formed in the future, the dominant power should also be in the hands of my Eastern Wu.

But it is clear that Sun Quan somewhat underestimated the status of Qian County in the Great Wei.

In Luoyang, Cao Ei lost it, and it can be said that the political loss is very serious, but with the current foundation of the Great Wei, it is not that he can't afford to lose, but in fact, the nature is similar to Cao Pi's loss of Chang'an.

But if Qian Jun is lost, or is it lost in this humiliating way of dividing it to others, then for Cao Rong, it is a fatal thing, and you can easily assign the ancestral land to others, in this world, what else can not be lost? !

If Cao Rong really dares to agree to this condition of Eastern Wu, he doesn't need to have any second thoughts from the ministers of the Great Wei, and the Cao Wei clan can directly contact the clan ministers the next day and break into the palace to abolish the emperor.

It's only been more than ten years since the founding of the country, and the Cao Wei clan is still here, and it's not yet time for everyone to forget where they came from.

For this reason, the envoy sent by Sun Quan was almost directly driven out of the court by the agitated Great Wei Qunchen, but in the end, Chen Qun stood up and temporarily saved him on the grounds that the two countries had exchanged troops and did not disgrace his envoys.

However, Chen Qun also clearly told the envoy of Soochow that if he really had the intention of forming an alliance, then he would talk about it on different terms. Want to be a county?! Sun Quan is afraid that he is really confused!!

Well, this is Chen Qun's original words, and he said it directly in front of the envoy of Eastern Wu To a certain extent, the Great Wei really doesn't think much of Sun Quan.

The envoy of Eastern Wu did not expect such a big reaction from the Cao Wei court, and he did not have the time to investigate whether Chen Qun called the name of the Supreme of Eastern Wu in front of him, whether it was a violation of diplomatic etiquette The envoy could only close the door in the pavilion to calm Cao Wei's hostility, and at the same time quickly wrote a letter to the Supreme of Eastern Wu, asking the Supreme to change the content of the conditions.

When Sun Quan received this letter, it happened to be a few days after Deng Zhi came to visit Soochow.

Sun Quan didn't expect Cao Wei's side to react so much to Qian Jun. This one is not good, and it feels like the alliance is going to be yellow.

In this case, Sun Quan, who was already a little hesitant to turn his face with Shu Han, did not dare to turn his face with Shu Han immediately.

In addition, at this time, Zhang Zhao told Sun Quan that Shu Han was probably not ready to turn his face immediately, and there was no need to worry that Shu Han would start a war immediately, so Sun Quan decided to use a delaying tactic to appease Deng Zhi in the face of Shu Han, and on the other hand told the envoy in Yecheng that he could remove Qian County, but the conditions of Peng Chengguo could not be changed.

Only after the new conditions for peace talks can the alliance and peace talks between Wei and Wu be continued.

But when it came to the second condition, Cao Wei's side began to have controversy.

The two sides exchanged protons with each other, which was not a big deal, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was normal for the two countries to form an alliance and exchange protons with each other.

But the problem is that Cao Ei has no son!!

Although, most of the two sides will not directly exchange heirs for the protons, but historically, it is not without precedent for protons to return to China to compete for the throne in a special period with the support of the allies.

In addition, Sun Quan's side has established the crown prince Sun Deng, and he already has a clear heir, and the country is relatively stable.

But Cao Rong has never had a son here, and there are a lot of controversies within Cao Wei about his heirs. Exchange protons, sure it won't cause unnecessary trouble?!

In case Cao Ei never gave birth to an heir in the future, and the children of the clan who exchanged to Soochow would return to China to compete for the throne after Cao Ei's death with the support of Soochow, wouldn't it be easy to cause domestic turmoil.

Therefore, there is still a lot of controversy within Cao Wei on this issue.

But this is actually not a big deal. If it really doesn't work, I will find a child of the clan who is far away from Cao Rong's blood relationship and go to Dongwu to be a proton.

Although there are still risks, in the same way, if something happens to Sun Deng, the crown prince of Eastern Wu, in fact, Cao Wei also has the means to counteract.

In this way, after internal discussions, Cao Wei sent Cao Fan, a disciple of the clan, as a proton.

Cao Fan is a very interesting person.

He is the grandson of Emperor Taizuwu, and his biological father is Cao Ju, the king of Pengcheng, but because Cao Cao's other son Cao Quan died early, he passed on to Cao Quan and inherited the family business.

You have to say his identity, he is the bloodline of Emperor Taizu Wu, and he is a brother who has not come out of the five suits with Cao Rong, and his identity is quite noble.

But if you want to say that he is important, Cao Cheng died as early as the twenty-third year of Jian'an, and even during his lifetime, he was not conspicuous among Cao Cao's many children.

To put it bluntly, it is just a child of a clan whose identity is quite noble, but in fact, there is no factional support within the Great Wei court.

Such a person serves as a proton, even if one day in the future he really returns to China to seize power with the support of Eastern Wu, at least within the Great Wei, no one will respond to him.

Danger is minimized.

Of course, Sun Quan's side is not stupid, Sun Quan sent his own nephew Sun Tai.

And this Sun Tai, his father is Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Kuang, but his mother is still the daughter of the Cao clan, before the Battle of Chibi, the result of the marriage between the two families.

Both sides had their own thoughts, but no matter what, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the matter of proton exchange and the conclusion of an alliance.
