This matter may sound a bit ridiculous at first glance. After all, Sun Quan's current identity is that of the Han Dynasty Taiwei who Liu Bei personally issued an edict to worship.
Even if we don't mention this, Sun Quan's eldest son Sun Deng is still in Jingzhou. From these two aspects, the things mentioned in this letter are not credible.
However, if you analyze it carefully, this matter is not impossible.
In the final analysis, the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty was just a false name to appease Sun Quan. This could temporarily appease Sun Quan, but it would never make him truly surrender to the Han Dynasty.
After all, the current military and political affairs in Jiangdong are still firmly in the hands of Sun Quan.
As for the issue of the hostage, Sun Quan certainly valued Sun Deng, but Sun Deng's hostage in Jingzhou was essentially just to ensure to the greatest extent that Sun Quan would not attack Jingzhou.
But in other aspects, such as secretly flirting with Cao Wei, such as secretly colluding with Nanzhong as mentioned in this letter, who can guarantee that Sun Quan will not do this?
The world is ultimately divided into three parts.
This letter was written by Yong Kai to Huang Yuan. It seems that this was one of his bargaining chips to lure Huang Yuan to rebel.
And Huang Yuaneng always carried this letter with him, and he must have verified the credibility of this letter, and thought that he could use this letter to ask Yong Kai for compensation at any time after the incident was completed.
With Deng Ai's wisdom and having this letter in his hand, many inferences quickly emerged in his mind.
After those inferences appeared in his mind, Deng Ai did not immediately announce the existence of this letter to the outside world.
He first led Shi Bao aside, and then whispered a few words to him.
After receiving Deng Ai's instructions, Shi Bao nodded knowingly, then took several of his personal guards and rode towards the north quickly on their horses.
Shi Bao's sudden departure did not attract the attention of others. Seeing that Shi Bao was already far away, Deng Ai just summoned some generals who were still cleaning up the battlefield.
Now Huang Yuan's head is in front of everyone, and most of the rebels have abandoned their weapons and surrendered. It can be said that the Huang Yuan rebellion has basically been put down.
When the generals gathered behind and behind Deng Ai, they all looked at Deng Ai with inexplicable admiration.
When they first followed Deng Ai to the north, they felt that most of the Huang Yuan rebels were a mob and should not be difficult to put down.
However, it was not difficult to put down Huang Yuan's rebels, who numbered five thousand, so these generals thought that they would have to spend a lot of effort to put down this rebellion.
But what they didn't expect was that in just a month and only an hour of fighting, they had accomplished this task brilliantly, and their own losses were not huge.
The achievement of such a result did not lie in the Han army's bravery and skill in fighting, but in Deng Ai's ability to predict the enemy's opportunities and command decisively.
Facing the admiring looks of the generals, Deng Ai felt quite relieved.
After the generals arrived, he ordered: "After the entire army has cleaned the battlefield, it will immediately march to Hanjia County."
Deng Ai's order surprised everyone.
According to common sense, after an army has just won a big victory, the first thing it does is clean up the battlefield.
After cleaning the battlefield, the general should lead the troops to garrison in place, and then think about how to write a beautiful battle report and submit it to the court.
This was especially true for the rebellion they were facing, which almost endangered the imperial capital.
If this battle report is well written, coupled with the unadulterated results, once Liu Bei is overjoyed, Deng Aike will benefit immensely.
But the first thing Deng Ai wants to do now is to march into Hanjia County.
Everyone knows the reason why Deng Ai did this. He just wanted to calm the situation in Hanjia County as soon as possible so that Shu County would no longer be in danger.
It's just that Deng Ai's choice is indeed very different from ordinary people.
But now no one dares to disobey Deng Ai's order, so after Deng Ai's order was issued, all the generals took the order and retreated.
After the generals left, Deng Ai touched the letter on his chest, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the same month that Deng Ai put down the Huang Yuan Rebellion in Shu County, a delegation from Jianye entered Longbian County in Jiaozhi County.
The chief envoy and deputy envoy of this Jianye mission are still Mi Yang's old friends.
The chief envoy sent by Sun Quan was Sun Huan, and the deputy envoy was Yu Fan.
These two people were regular visitors to the Public Security City, especially Sun Huan, who had not been here for a long time.
Of course, because Jiaozhi County is really remote, the "glorious deeds" of these two men in Gong'an City have not been widely spread in Jiaozhi County.
Otherwise, Yu Fantai would not be too ungrateful, and Sun Huan would never dare to show up in Jiaozhi County.
The reason why Sun Huan and Yu Fan came all the way to Jiaozhi County was not because Sun Quan had exiled them. They came to see someone on Sun Quan's order.
This man is the uncrowned emperor of Jiaozhou today—Shi Xie.
Shi Xie, courtesy name Weiyan, was born in Guangxin, Cangwu.
When Shi Xie was young, he studied under famous scholars and was later worshiped as the prefect of Jiaozhi.
Shi Xie's ancestors were originally from the Central Plains. In order to escape the war at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Shi Xie's ancestors led their tribesmen to move south to settle in Jiaozhou.
Since the Shi family was a big family when they moved south, when they took root in Jiaozhou, they quickly developed in Jiaozhou and became the leading big family in Jiaozhou.
When Shi Xie became the governor of Jiaozhi, it was at a time when the authority of the central court was seriously declining.
In this case, in order to protect the land and the people, and to develop his family, Shixie arbitrarily allowed his tribesmen to become governors of other counties in Jiaozhou.
Under Shi Xie's arrangement, Shi Xie and his tribe actually controlled half of Jiaozhou's territory. As for the remaining half of the territory, most of the county chiefs at all levels followed Shi Xie's orders.
It can be said that before Sun Quan got involved in Jiaozhou, Shi Xie was the local emperor of Jiaozhou.
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan sent Bu Zhi as governor of Jiaozhou, and Shi Xie took the initiative to lead his brothers to join him.
Later, Shi Xie sent his son Shi Ren to Soochow as a hostage to show his loyalty to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was not stingy with rewards for Shi Xie at all, and various official positions were awarded to Shi Xie's people as if they were free of charge.
When Sun Huan and Yu Fan entered Longbian City, Sun Huan asked Shi Hui, stating that he wanted to see Shi Xie in person.
Sun Huan was a son of Sun Quan, and Sun Quan was the master of Shi Xie. Logically speaking, Sun Huan should not ask Shi Hui.
After all, Shi Hui is just Shi Xie's son.
But the actual situation is that before Sun Huan came to Jiaozhou, Sun Quan had told Sun Huan to treat Shi Xie with the same courtesy as he was treated.
The reason why Sun Quan ordered Sun Huan like this was because he was Shi Xie's lord, but he was very talented in politics and knew that Shi Xie had a prestige in Jiaozhou that was difficult for others to match.
Shi Xie's prestige in Lingnan was not only lower than that of Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam at that time.
Even in the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam a thousand years later, Shi Xie was posthumously named king because of his prestige. This shows how deep-rooted Shi Xie's influence was in Jiaozhou.
Prestige in this world is strength.
Sun Quan knew very well that if Shixie supported him, even if there was no Wu army in Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou would still be his.
If Shixie does not support him, even if there are tens of thousands of Wu troops in Jiaozhou, they will be like a stone sinking into the sea and will not be able to stir up much trouble.
Sun Huan may not have the same political knowledge as Sun Quan, but he always listened to Sun Quan's words, so when talking to Shi Hui, his tone was quite humble.
Yu Fan on the side saw that Sun Huan didn't do anything wrong, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that after that ordeal, Sun Huan's temperament changed a lot.
Faced with Sun Huan's request, Shi Hui was a little surprised for a moment.
Shi Xie was old and had hardly seen outsiders many years ago. Sun Quan knew about this, and most of the envoys sent by Sun Quan in the past had communicated with him.
He couldn't figure out why Sun Huan wanted to see Shi Xie by name this time.
Shi Hui originally wanted to refuse Sun Huan, but then he thought that Sun Huan's request might have been authorized by Sun Quan. Under these concerns, Shi Hui changed his mind and replied: "General Zhonglang will wait a moment."
After saying this, Shi Hui left to look for Shi Xie.
After Shi Hui left, Yu Fan came to Sun Huan and told him: "Zhonglang will not forget the Taiwei's advice."
Hearing Yu Fan's reminder, Sun Huan nodded cautiously.
Even if Yu Fan didn't remind him, Sun Huan himself attached great importance to this mission.
After the Yong'an Alliance, Sun Huan was returned to Jiangdong by Liu Bei.
After returning to Jiangdong, even though no one criticized him openly because of his identity, he didn't know what everyone said behind his back.
How can the shame of "General Diaolou" be easily washed away because of his noble status?
However, Sun Huan did not give up on himself because of this, but instead thought about one day using his own abilities to wash away the shame.
Fortunately, Sun Quan did not forget his "clan Yan Yuan".
This is normal. Anyone can abandon Sun Huan, but Sun Quan cannot because they are clan relatives.
Out of various considerations, Sun Quan decided to send Sun Huan as an envoy to Jiaozhou to fulfill the envoy's instructions from Cao Wei.
After receiving the mission assigned by Sun Quan, Sun Huan cherished this opportunity very much.
As long as you slowly make meritorious deeds, there will always be a day when your shame will be washed away.
The reason why Yu Fan was appointed by Sun Quan as Sun Huan's deputy envoy was because Yu Fan was suitable for being an envoy.
Also because after the First World War, Yu Fan and Sun Huan, who were aware that they were Sun Ce's former ministers, unconsciously got closer and closer.
Not long after Yu Fan reminded Sun Huan, a burst of heavy footsteps came from behind the two of them.
After hearing the heavy footsteps, Sun Huan and Yu Fan immediately turned around and looked behind them.
Soon, the figure of an old man with gray hair and wrinkles came into their sight.
I think this old man was Shi Xie, who had been famous in Jiaozhou for more than half a century.
Shi Xie's body was hunched over. Due to his old age, even with Shi Hui's support, his progress was very slow.
But even at such a slow speed, Sun Huan and Yu Fan did not dare to say anything to urge them.
On the contrary, almost as soon as they saw Shi Xie, Sun Huan and Yu Fan immediately bent down and saluted Shi Xie.
Shi Xie seemed not to have seen Sun Huan and Yu Fan salute him. He was walking alone, his eyes were cloudy and unfocused, like an old man who was dying.
As time passed slowly, Shi Xie finally passed in front of Sun Huan and Yu Fan, came to the main seat in the hall and sat down slowly.
After he sat down, the dim-eyed Shi Xie seemed to realize that Yu Fan and Sun Huan were saluting him, and he made an inarticulate sound.
The reason why Shi Xie has slurred speech is because he really doesn't have many teeth left in his mouth now.
This year, he is already 85 years old!
Being nearly 90 years old, in Lingnan, where the epidemic is rampant, cannot be said to be rare, it can only be said to be bizarre.
However, even though Shi Xie's speech was unclear, Sun Huan and Yu Fan could barely hear Shi Xie's words clearly after careful identification.
It turns out that there is no need to be more polite.
After hearing these four words, Sun Huan and Yu Fan stood up together, and then sat down in front of Shi Xie under Shi Xie's gesture.
After sitting down, Shi Xie seemed to muster up all his strength and asked Sun Huan in front of him: "I wonder why the young master wants to see the old minister specifically?"
Shi Hui had just explained to Shi Xie the characteristics of Sun Huan and his status as an envoy.
Since this was not the first time he heard Shi Xie speak, Sun Huan heard it more clearly this time.
Seeing Shi Xie proactively asking about his purpose, Sun Huandang immediately told Shi Xie what Sun Quan wanted him to convey.
After finishing speaking, Sun Huan began to observe Shi Xie's expression.
Unfortunately, there were so many wrinkles on Shi Xie's face that Sun Huan would have difficulty detecting any changes in his expression.
When Shi Xie heard that Sun Huan wanted money, food, soldiers and horses to deal with the Han army, a strange color flashed through his turbid eyes.
But he didn't show it. He asked Sun Huan: "The governor of Jiaozhou is Lu Gong. You should go to him for such important matters."
After finishing speaking, Shi Xie still had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was teaching his nephew.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But after listening to Shi Xie's words, Sun Huan was stunned.
The Duke Lu mentioned by Shi Xie was Lu Dai. Lu Dai succeeded Bu Zhi and became the governor of Jiaozhou last year.
But Sun Huan knew that neither Bu Zha nor Lu Dai could mobilize Jiaozhou's soldiers, horses, money and food while Shi Xie was alive.
But he couldn't say this clearly, so Sun Huan could only be stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, Sun Huan had Yu Fan by his side.
Yu Fan reacted very quickly. He immediately handed over his hand and said back to Shi Xie: "The official is the crown prince of Jiaozhou. The crown represents the people's hearts. How can anyone not ask the people's hearts before starting a war?"
After Shi Xie heard Yu Fan's answer, the smile on his face became gentler.
But he didn't respond immediately to Yu Fan's words.
After a while, Shi Xie finally realized that he still owed his "master"'s envoy an answer.
So Shi Xie said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will satisfy the envoy."
After saying that, Shi Xie excused himself first because of his old age and let Shi Hui help him back to the dormitory, leaving only Sun Huan and Yu Fan looking at each other.
After Shi Hui helped Shi Xie out of the lobby, Shi Xie's words immediately rang in his ears:
"Sun Huan is not deeply involved in the world and is not a problem, but Yu Fan beside him deserves more attention.
Don’t you always feel that you are no worse than King Zhao?
You will set off with them tomorrow and let me take a good look at your abilities."
After saying these few words, Shi Xie stopped talking, while Shi Hui's face was full of joy.
But Shi Xie's heart seemed a little heavy.
There was a great victory in Hanzhong, seven armies were flooded, a great victory in the Public Security Bureau, and a great victory in Xiangfan.
Is the Han Dynasty really going to be revived?
But he had betrayed the legal system of the Han Dynasty, and all the friends of the Emperor of Han had been slaughtered by him. Once the Han Dynasty was revived, would the Tashi clan still have a future?
What is past should be past, so how can you think about changing your name against heaven?
Thinking of this, the turbidity in Shi Xie's eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by the harshness that had gone through all the worldly events.
