Chapter 88: This is the end of the matter
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with the minister?! Why don't you allow your ministers to go on the expedition? ”
Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing knelt in front of Sun Xiu, both of them looked a little haggard at the moment, especially Pu Yangxing, who had tears in his eyes.
Sun Xiu's edict left the two people scrambling, and they felt betrayed.
The two hurriedly came to the palace to meet Sun Xiu, hoping that Sun Xiu could give them an explanation.
They also don't understand why they are suddenly being targeted when they are doing things wholeheartedly for the emperor.
Pu Yangxing is okay, since there have been rebellions in various places, Pu Yangxing has been prepared in his heart, he knows why the emperor wants to depose him, and the temple has a great opinion of him.
Pu Yangxing had long expected that the emperor would ask for guilt, and he was prepared, so after hearing the emperor's edict, he was relieved.
He is not dissatisfied with this, but he was deposed, which is already very good, let himself reflect, it shows that there is still the possibility of being re-promoted, but he still has to come.
After all, it is still necessary to cry to the emperor and express his loyalty and grievances.
But Zhang Bu obviously couldn't accept it.
When you were controlled by Sun Qi, but I risked my life to rescue you, and now that you have just calmed down the domestic affairs, why did you start to distrust me?
This time, Biqiu Jian gathered an army to point at Jianye, and Zhang Bu thought that this was a good opportunity for him to make contributions.
If you say that on land, Zhang Bu may still be afraid, but if you want to talk about water battles, do the Wei people still remember Chibi?!
As far as these people are concerned, how will they know how the water war is fought? This water war is not the same thing as a land war at all!
Zhang Budu was ready to defeat the enemy's general of the chariot and cavalry and make a name for himself in China.
As a result, he was only halfway through the preparation, and the emperor suddenly withdrew him.
If the emperor let someone like Ding Feng or Shi Ji replace him, Zhang Bu would not feel anything wrong.
But why let people who are far inferior to themselves go on the expedition in their place?!
Zhang Bu's face turned red and he felt humiliated.
Sun Xiu calmly looked at Zhang Bu in front of him, sighed, and explained: "Qing has never had it, but General Lu feels that you despise the Wei people too much, and you have no combat experience, so you are not suitable to be the commander-in-chief." ”
Zhang Bu was immediately furious, "The General Lu that Your Majesty is talking about, but the General of Zhengbei? If he had suggested that, I would have stayed in Jianye! ”
The general of Zhengbei mentioned by Zhang Bu refers to Lu Kang's brother Lu Kai.
Lu Kai and Lu Kang's growth trajectory is completely different, he really came out of the bottom little by little, at first he was just a county commander, and then he was transferred several times, and then promoted to the county guard, from the county guard to the school captain, and then as a governor, and made meritorious service as a general, after Sun Xiu ascended the throne, he became the general of the expedition to the north.
He has a straightforward personality, a strong personality, and is the kind of person who will say whatever he wants, and he is deeply admired by everyone.
Sun Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Biqiu Jian uses a large army to crusade, this is not something that can be taken lightly, besides, General Lu is on the front line, he can naturally see more things than us, it is just a matter of going on an expedition, Qing does not have to be like this, if he wants to go north in the future, he will naturally have to be dominated by Qing." ”
Sun Xiu appeased him for a long time, but Zhang Bu still felt angry.
But he also knew that this anger could not be vented on his own emperor, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Biqiu Jian and others are not familiar with water warfare, and I think Lu Kang and others are afraid of our contributions!" ”
Sun Xiu shook his head and didn't say anything more, he looked at Pu Yangxing on the side.
Pu Yangxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister will return to the mansion today to reflect, after the minister leaves, please take care of your majesty."
His voice trembled a little, and the sadness was vividly expressed.
Sun Xiu probably knew that he was pretending, but he still gently told him that it would be good to realize his mistakes and not to worry too much.
When the two left together, Sun Xiu rubbed his forehead before he asked people to call the rest of the generals in.
After Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing walked out, the grievances and sadness on their faces suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Pu Yangxing said fearfully: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has no idea of continuing to investigate."
Zhang Bu glanced at him, "You better hide at home for the time being, no matter what, it's a fact that there are rebellions everywhere."
Although the matter was ordered by Sun Xiu, it was definitely not the emperor who took the blame in the end, Pu Yangxing knew this truth, and talked to Zhang Bu about the situation of those generals again, and went further and further.
At this moment, Sun Xiu sat on the top seat, closed his eyes, and his face was a little gloomy.
The eunuch he favored hurriedly put the prepared tea in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Wei people will definitely not be our enemies." ”
Sun Xiu opened his eyes and glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
In Lu Kang's eyes, he, a faint king, listened to slanderous rumors, let the powerful ministers oppress the people, and caused a rebellion, but in Sun Xiu's eyes, the situation was different.
That Lu Xing is not from a civilian background.
The big clan cherishes their own private soldiers very much, puts their own interests at the highest place, there are not many people left in the Wu country, and the private slave of the big clan is only a real power emperor, but if he really turns his face with the big clan, then he may not know what the result will be.
Sun Xiu wanted to promote as many people as possible who had no connection with the big clans, were innocent, and could be used to fight with them.
But such a person is really difficult to find, and there are more talents than the big family, even if they are from a poor family, they are brought into their own by the big family when they emerge.
But the situation is a little different now, judging from the deputy's hesitant look, Lu Kang must have said something more excessive, so that the adjutant general didn't dare to say it directly.
This also shows that he has indeed been pushed to the extreme, and he must adjust appropriately, if he continues to do such a scourge, it will be a big incident.
However, he still wanted to see the few generals recommended by Lu Kang.
He didn't dare to fully trust Lu Kang, after all, although the two of them had some family affection, they also had a little bit of a small contradiction.
Many generals in the construction industry came to meet Sun Xiu.
They are Wei Miao, Shi Shuo, Wu Yan, and Liuping generals.
Wei Miao and Shi Shuo are the old men who have arrested Sun Qi with Sun Xiu, and Wu Yan is a veteran of Wu State, his military achievements have been mediocre over the years, and there is nothing worth talking about.
Sun Xiu looked at them, his eyes full of suspicion.
He didn't understand, why did Sun Xiu think that these people were more reliable than Zhang Bu?
He cleared his throat and looked at Wei Miao first, and he asked, "General Wei, if you let Ling come as the commander, how will you defeat Biqiu Jian?" ”
Wei Miao was stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, just sighed.
"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent and does not know the way to defeat him."
Sun Xiu was suddenly a little disappointed.
The person who got rid of Sun Qi at the beginning was quite dedicated, so when Lu Kang focused on these people and asked Sun Xiu to replace Zhang Bu, Sun Xiu thought that he would have some good way.
Unexpectedly, in exchange for such an answer.
So why did Lu Kang change himself? ?
Sun Xiu looked at the rest of the people and said, "If you have any ideas, you can say them, and everyone will come to discuss together."
The generals looked at each other a few times, but in the end, their eyes stayed on Wei Miao's body.
Wei Miao bowed to Sun Xiu again, and then said, "Your Majesty, several of us have also talked about fighting with the Wei people in the past. ”
"We came up with a conclusion."
"I just don't dare to say it to Your Majesty."
Sun Xiu said calmly, "Will I still deal with you because of your words? I forgive you today without sin, even if it is true. ”
Wei Miao took a deep breath, and then he boldly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers believe that with the current situation, it is impossible to defeat the Wei army, and all we can do is to contain the enemy's attack and let the enemy not break through our defense line so quickly." ”
"Now Jingbei has been lost, the plains and open areas of Jingnan have been captured by the enemy, and our army can only occupy favorable terrain to delay the enemy's attack."
"There is a rebellion in Jiaozhou, but there are not many troops we can send to the rescue, Jianye can't divide the troops at the moment, and the enemy can take Jiaozhi County sooner or later, and in the future, the enemy can continuously send troops from Nanzhong to Jiaozhou, and at that time, the situation in the entire Wu country will be very bad."
"The enemy's army in many directions can only continue to delay by taking a full-fledged defensive approach."
"There are not many sailors in Biqiu Jian now, many of them are the elites who ran over during the old days, and there is no shortage of naval generals like Tang Shi, even if the strength is not as good as ours, it cannot be said that they do not have the strength to fight, and their morale is extremely high, if they fight with contemptuous thoughts, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss."
"Therefore, the best thing to do now is to adopt a special strategy to stop the enemy's advance."
Sun Xiu listened to the other party's explanation very calmly, and never opened his mouth to interrupt the other party.
Wei Miao said it was indeed excessive, according to him, it seemed that Wu Guo was completely hopeless, so he could only shrink his head and wait for death, not daring to have the idea of attacking again.
But Sun Xiu was not angry at all, because he knew that the other party was telling the truth.
The kid next door issued an edict in Luoyang on the first day, and Huainan will be able to do things according to his edict within ten days.
But as for himself, he issued an edict in Jianye, and Jing Nan didn't pay attention to it at all!
In such a situation, Sun Xiu also knew that he could only delay and see if Wei Guo would have any good opportunities in the future, although now it seems that it is more likely that he will be given a chance on his side, but he can do whatever he can.
Sun Xiu's mentality is still good, although he is anxious about the future, he is not as frightened and afraid as Liu Chan.
At this moment, he also understood why Lu Kang would let him use these generals in front of him.
"What you said is very right, General Wei, the naval army will be entrusted to you to be responsible, do not seek to defeat the enemy, as long as you can block the enemy, the success of the defense is, any strategy, any means, you can use it, I will never interfere!"
"Only !!"
