Chapter 134 The opportunity for failure has appeared Jingbei Camp (recommended book "The Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms")
The Quan clan of Wujun refers to the Quan clan of Qiantang, Wujun.
There is an outstanding figure in the Quan family in contemporary times, and that is Quan Cong, the eldest son of the head of the family, Quan Rou.
Quan Cong, whose courtesy name is Zihuang, spread benevolence and righteousness when he was young, so as to help the victims of disasters.
Quan Cong's father Quan Rou once sent Quan Cong to carry thousands of dendrobium rice to Wuxian for trade.
After Quan Cong arrived in Wu County, he scattered all the rice he carried and returned to Qiantang with the empty boat.
Quan Rou was furious about this, Quan Cong paused and explained:
"The fool thinks that the city is not in a hurry, but the scholar-bureaucrats are in danger of overthrowing the county, so they raise support and fail to report."
Because of this incident, the Zhongzhou scholars at that time fled the chaos in Jiangdong, and more than a hundred people went to Quancong.
For these more than a hundred scholars, Quan Cong dispersed all his family wealth and had nothing to share with them, and his reputation spread far and wide.
Because of Quan Cong's reputation, Sun Quan appointed Quan Cong as the captain of Fenwei School and commanded thousands of troops.
Later, Quan Cong made great achievements in conquering Shanyue, and even appointed Quan Cong as a partial general.
It can be said that the Quan family of Wujun and the Lu family of Wujun, because they each have two outstanding representatives, Quan Cong and Lu Xun, have gradually developed into one of the few wealthy families in Jiangdong.
And what was in the letter Mi Yang wrote to Sun Quan that could frighten Sun Quan?
Mi Yang listed in the letter the life experiences of the current Jiangdong generals.
The details of the resume even shocked Sun Quan.
The most important thing is that after listing the life stories of Jiangdong generals in detail and arousing some suspicions in Sun Quan, Mi Yang left this sentence at the end:
Our army is currently in a great situation, and we are fully aware of the actual situation of your army.
Lu Meng and Quan Cong's previous strategy of winning the championship is no longer feasible. Why don't you leave early?
This sentence shows Mi Yang's purpose.
It is not surprising that Mi Yang acted like this. When Cao Cao was conquering Sun Quan in the south, Sun Quan also wrote a similar letter to Cao Cao, analyzing the pros and cons and asking him to retreat.
But what frightened Sun Quan was not Mi Yang’s purpose, but how Mi Yang knew that Quan Cong had offered him advice!
As Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou, Sun Quan thought it was not difficult for Mi Yang to guess that Lü Meng had offered him advice before.
But the key point is Quan Cong. His position, like Lu Xun, is neither high nor low among the generals in Jiangdong. Moreover, his military exploits are all obtained through the expedition against Shanyue. At best, he can only be regarded as a prominent figure in Jiangdong.
There were not many generals like this in Jiangdong in the past. Why did Mi Yang notice him?
Moreover, few people knew about Quan Cong's plan to seize Jingzhou while Guan Yu was heading north.
At that time, after Quan Cong wrote to Sun Quan, Sun Quan and Lu Meng had already discussed the strategy of sneak attack on Jingzhou.
Therefore, in order not to leak the news, he suppressed Quan Cong's petition.
According to common sense, it is impossible for others to know this.
Not to mention Mi Yang who is thousands of miles away.
Sun Quan did not doubt Xu Xiang, who was captured by Mi Yang, because not only did he know whether he was alive or dead, but he did not even know about Quan Cong's letter.
Mi Yang would know about this, and it was probably Quan Cong who told him.
Thinking of this, how can Sun Quan not be frightened?
The major families in Jiangdong have been married to each other and have been friends for hundreds of years. They have long formed a political alliance, which can affect the whole body.
For example, the Quan family and the Lu family in Wu County have been friends for generations.
At the beginning, Quan Cong escorted thousands of grains to Wuxian County for sale, mainly to the Lu family and the Zhang family, which were good friends.
Although Quan Cong's position was not high compared with other Huaisi generals, he was from a prominent Jiangdong clan. If such a person were to be in cahoots with foreign enemies, the consequences would be huge.
Moreover, Quan Cong's father, Quan Rou, now serves as the prefect of Guiyang.
If the Quan clan of Wujun really gets involved with foreign enemies, and if Guiyang is lost, Changsha will not be able to protect it either.
When he was in Jianye, Sun Quan had long felt that the Jiangdong family was beginning to become restless because of rumors that spread from time to time.
After coming to the police station, Sun Quan felt uneasy because Mi Yang knew that Lu Meng was seriously ill.
This is enough to prove that there is a traitor in Jiangdong's army at this moment.
Now, under the temptation of Mi Yang's letter, the suspicion in Sun Quan's heart began to grow like a rapidly growing vine, instantly filling his heart.
No wonder, everything was going smoothly at first, but suddenly Guan Yu saw through his plan and immediately sent Mi Yang south to guard the police.
No wonder, Lu Meng had rarely been defeated before, but since he came to Jingzhou, he had been defeated in consecutive battles, losing his troops and losing his generals.
No wonder, before the Northern Expedition to Hefei, few rumors spread in Jianye City, but now there are widespread rumors because of the Northern Expedition to Jingzhou.
It turned out that all this was because he had ministers under his command who were secretly communicating with Guan Yu in Jingzhou.
With his suspicion rising, Sun Quan couldn't help but connect all the past events in detail according to his understanding.
Finally, he came to a conclusion in his mind that he thought was most consistent with the facts.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and there was a great chill in his eyes.
In Sun Quan's heart, what he feared most was not Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but the Jiangdong aristocratic families in his territory who had dissident intentions.
Because those Jiangdong families can directly threaten his basic base.
I already have so much trust in them, but they still want to communicate with internal and external enemies.
Back then, he was connected with Cao, but now he is connected with Liu. They are really a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves.
Just when Sun Quan looked at Quan Cong with cold eyes, and was about to order Quan Cong to be taken down, he suddenly realized something.
If Quan Cong was really Guan Yu's internal correspondent in Jiangdong, then why did Quan Cong suggest him to seize Jingzhou in the first place?
Why did Mi Yang make this clear in his letter?
Isn't he afraid that he will become suspicious of Quan Cong and remove his assistant?
Could it be that Quan Cong was under Guan Yu's instruction to test himself before writing to him?
Could it be that Mi Yang let go of such a mistake by being careful? Or was he deliberately trying to frame Quan Cong?
But Mi Yang knew that Quan Cong's letter to him was true. Could it be that the other people who knew about it were the ones who really betrayed Gu?
Because of his suspicion, various possibilities flashed through Sun Quan's mind.
But no matter what the possibility is, there must be many thieves and spies in the army today!
Sun Quan then looked at the Jiangdong generals behind him.
Sun Quan glanced at the Jiangdong generals behind him with suspicion and fear.
At this time, in Sun Quan's eyes, those generals from Jiangdong were like cold arrows that were waiting to be fired, waiting for him to relax and shooting towards his heart and lungs.
This made Sun Quan instantly frightened.
After Sun Quan's eagle-like gaze swept across Zhu Huan and Quan Cong's generals, they felt guilty and avoided Sun Quan's gaze.
The Zhu family of Wujun and the Quan family of Wujun were both wealthy families, and they were the ones who bought the most from Mi Fang's business.
We can't blame them for being greedy for money and not caring about justice. It's just that Jiangdong's military system is a private military system.
Under the private military system, although their soldiers are privately owned by them, they are all loyal to them alone.
But correspondingly, they also have to bear the responsibility of providing food, grass and weapons for their soldiers.
Even to maintain the loyalty of these soldiers, their families had to be supported by them.
But they were different from those Huaisi generals who were truly favored by Sun Quan.
After the generals of Huaisi made great achievements in battle, Sun Quan would reward them with the county seat as their tributary city, so that they would have enough financial resources to support their thousands of tribes.
Although they all come from wealthy families in Jiangdong, food and grass are easy to come by, but arms are hard to come by.
As the number of their tribes continued to expand, their ordnance was already in short supply.
Therefore, when Mi Fang sold Jingzhou's ordnance to Jiangdong, even if the price was extremely high, they could only bite the bullet and buy them all.
And because of this, when Mi Fang started to threaten them, with the leverage in Mi Fang's hands, they could only do things that were detrimental to Jiangdong's interests.
For example, rumors spread about their family in Jianye.
Sun Quan, who was already suspicious, saw Zhu Huan and Quan Cong deliberately avoiding his scrutiny, which undoubtedly made him more suspicious.
At this time, the letters burned by the fire turned into ashes and flew along the wind to Sun Quan's armor.
Seeing this, Lu Xun wanted to reach out his hand to dust off the ashes from Sun Quan's body, but his move was stopped by Sun Quan's cold eyes.
Looking at Lu Xun, who had always been loyal to him on the surface, Sun Quan's trust in him was almost gone.
Is he really as loyal as he appears?
Because the suspicion in his heart could not determine who the traitor was, he could not quickly cut through the mess and clear up the hidden dangers.
The more this happened, the uneasy Sun Quan's trust in generals from Jiangdong families such as Quan Cong, Zhu Huan, and Lu Xun had dropped to the lowest level.
At least until Zhang Zhao of Jianye found out who betrayed him, Sun Quan would not really trust them.
At this time, Sun Quan felt a little headache.
After seeing that all the letters had been destroyed, he dragged his heavy steps towards the camp.
Lu Xun followed Sun Quan and asked Sun Quan softly, "Your Majesty, who did you recommend yourself to?"
Lu Xun asked Sun Quan what he was most concerned about.
Lu Xun's reminder made Sun Quan tremble.
But at this time, would Sun Quan still hand over tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Lu Xun?
"I'm tired today, let's discuss it someday."
Sun Quan shook off these words with cold words, and then continued walking towards the camp.
When Lu Xun saw this, he couldn't help but become anxious. More than two months had passed, and Liu Bei's vanguard was most likely approaching Yidu County. At this time, there could be no further delay.
The impatient Lu Xun was about to give Sun Quan another advice, but Quan Cong stepped forward and held him back.
Quan Cong shook his head at Lu Xun.
"The Supreme Being is angry and cannot speak anymore."
In the end, Lu Xun could only sigh helplessly.
He has a clever plan, but my lord doesn't use it.
Mi Yang, who was on the other side of the moat, saw that Sun Quan on the opposite side had entered the camp. Although he didn't know what the look on Sun Quan's face was like now, he thought it must be ugly.
No matter how hard Sun Quan thought about it, he would never think that he knew that Quan Cong wrote a letter to remonstrate because he was a time traveler.
Sun Quan would only turn his previous suspicion of a traitor in the army into a certainty, and set his target on those generals from Jiangdong.
Wang Hong watched the Jiangdong soldiers on the other side burn all the letters. He asked Mi Yang, "Master, can this letter make Sun Quan withdraw his troops?"
Wang Hong had read the contents of the letter, but he didn't know what Mi Yang's real purpose was.
Mi Yang smiled and said to Wang Hongyan, "On the surface, my letter is to declare the interests to Sun Quan and ask him to retreat voluntarily, so as to achieve the purpose of subduing the enemy's army without fighting."
"But actually, this is my plan to alienate you."
Wang Hong was puzzled when he heard Mi Yang say that this was his estrangement plan.
It's just that Mi Yang stopped talking and didn't explain much about the matter.
All he had to do was ensure that Sun Quan saw the letter.
Judging from Sun Quan's actions of ordering people to burn the letters, he has fallen into the trap.
Mi Yang deliberately pointed out at the end of the letter that he knew Quan Cong knew about the letter, just to make Sun Quan suspicious of Quan Cong.
Among the three great monarchs in the world, when faced with doubters, Liu Bei would choose to find out the truth and be influenced by his faith. Cao Cao would directly choose humane destruction. Only Sun Quan was the most suspicious and worried.
Mi Yang's letter may not be enough to make Sun Quan have murderous intentions towards Quan Cong, but it is enough to put Sun Quan into a situation where he is in trouble, just like when he was about to die in the later period, everyone felt that they might betray him.
Just do this.
As long as Sun Quan is suspicious of Quan Cong, Quan Cong's profound background in the Jiangdong family will not treat this matter as a single incident even if Mi Yang is sitting in Sun Quan's seat.
What's more, what about Sun Quan, who naturally distrusts the Jiangdong family and is suspicious and vicious?
And as long as Sun Quan transfers his doubts to many Jiangdong families, those generals from Jiangdong families will not be reused by him in the short period of time when he has doubts.
Even though Lu Xun in history had outstanding achievements and played a role in stabilizing the stability of Jiangdong, in the end he was scolded to death by Sun Quan because of Sun Quan's suspicion.
What's more, Lu Xun, who is not that famous now, is not that important in Sun Quan's eyes.
Moreover, the alienation plan Mi Yang implemented today was not just to restrain Lu Xun.
As time goes by, when Sun Quan's suspicion becomes more and more serious, he will definitely make a fatal mistake.
When the two armies are fighting, the top and bottom are at odds, which is a taboo for military strategists.
The opportunity to defeat Sun is coming.
Mi Yang looked at the weather that had been very gloomy in the past few days, and he remembered the rumor that had been in the military in recent days.
Mi Yang told Wang Hong: "Come and see me before calling Tan."
In the distant Jingbei, tens of thousands of armies are currently facing each other on both sides of the Han River.
The people on the north bank were far more numerous than those on the south bank.
The flags of the armies on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were fluttering, and the war horses neighed, filling the sky on both sides of the Strait with a chilling atmosphere.
In the Han River, which has little water, and on the tidal flats in the water, there are corpses of soldiers from both armies.
This scene proves what kind of brutal fighting the armies on both sides of the Taiwan Strait experienced in the Han River.
In the camp on the south bank, Guan Yu was convening the generals to discuss the military situation.
At this moment, Guan Yu held in his hand a letter written to him by Cao Cao from the other side.
The letter does not talk about military affairs, but talks about various past events between Guan Yu and him when he was in Xudu.
Cao Cao had extraordinary literary talent, and his writings were full of nostalgia and cherishment for the past.
But right after the text of the letter, which was full of warmth, Cao Cao included a farewell note.
There are only eight words on this farewell note: One step will not kill you, and you will be lonely and uneasy.
Even though there were mountains of corpses outside the camp, and under this murderous world full of murderous intentions, Cao Cao did not hide his love for Guan Yu at all.
But even after his deep love, Cao Cao did not hide his fearful murderous intention towards Guan Yu.
Looking at those eight words full of murderous intent, Guan Yu's face was indifferent.
Isn't this the Cao Mengde he knew?
Meng De treated him the same way, and he treated Meng De the same way.
Some book friends said that the 24:00 update is too late, so I will post the chapter in the evening as soon as it is finished, so as to avoid some readers waiting too long.
The recommended book is "The Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms". It has the same subject matter as me. The content is well researched and the logic is reasonable. It is a book that I like very much. You can check it out.
