Chapter 255 Falling back and settling for the next best thing

 Kill Gu Yong?

Haha...

In fact, Sun Quan really had no such plan. He was just angry just now. After Sun Shao's remarks.

His anger has also subsided a lot.

"Half a year's salary penalty!"

Sun Quan quickly made the decision to punish Gu Yong.

All the civil and military ministers in the main halls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

‘The Prime Minister is fine.’

Sun Shao took the lead and bowed to Sun Quan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Gu Yong was a little helpless.

After all, he doesn't think his suggestion is wrong.

On the contrary, this is also the best choice for Da Wu at the moment.

But...

"Weak minister...thank you for Your Majesty's kindness."

Gu Yong was a minister and Sun Quan was a king.

Sun Quan had already made concessions, and he could only bow to Sun Quan to thank him for not killing him.

Gu Yong's matter is finally over.

Sun Quan coughed lightly, and then asked Gu Yong: "Please tell me, my dear... What should I, Da Wu, do to deal with it now?"

Just now, he fined Gu Yong half a year's salary, but now that he has calmed down, he actively asked him to make suggestions...

This——

That is the Emperor Wu...Sun Quan.

"Return to Your Majesty!" Gu Yong paused.

Then he said: "End the war, try to recuperate, and wait for the opportunity..."

"How to end the war?" Sun Quan asked.

Gu Yong did not mention dependence on the big man again.

Although Sun Hong was sent to Chang'an as an envoy, all his experiences were actually known to the ministers before they entered the palace.

Liu Chan's original words - If you want me to withdraw my troops from the two counties of Jiaogui, you must let your emperor Sun Quan dethrone him and then surrender to the Han Dynasty.

This is also where Sun Quan got angry when Gu Yong just said he was dependent on the Han.

Do you really want me to lose the imperial title?

Facing Sun Quan's question, Gu Yong said calmly: "Give up the south of Jiaogui."

Hiss——

In the main hall, silence fell once again.

However, no one came out to stop it.

Sun Quan didn't say anything, but a trace of embarrassment could be seen in his brows, but Gu Yong continued: "The south of Jiaogui is a barbaric land. I, Wu, own these places, just to increase some barbarian soldiers..."
"Now the Han army has captured the two counties of Jiaogui.

Even if I, Dawu, want to recover;" Gu Yong said, shaking his head slightly and said: "If we talk about attacking the city and taking out the stronghold,

Our army is inferior to the Han army."

This sentence,

Although it is a bit harsh.

However, it is an indisputable fact.

The Three Kingdoms have been in power for more than ten years.

In terms of national strength, Wu was not as good as Cao Wei at first, and now it is not as good as Han, but Wu has a powerful navy with superior strength.

It is precisely because of the powerful Wu navy that even Cao Cao suffered a lot in Chibi.

But——

In addition to the naval force, the combat effectiveness of Da Wu's land army has always been at the end of the Three Kingdoms because Da Wu is more of a clan leader.

Also, whether it is Cao Wei or the Han Dynasty.

In addition to their powerful army, they also have powerful cavalry, but Wu is in urgent need of war horses, so there is no need for a cavalry corps.

Until now, the total number of Wu's cavalry is less than 20,000, and its equipment is the worst among the Three Kingdoms.

The 50,000 Wu troops on the battlefield in Jiaozhou now stormed Jiaozhou, which was guarded by 10,000 men. Lu Xun was stunned that he had no way to defeat Li Yi, and he also lost nearly 20,000 troops.

"The war between Han and Wei is now over..." Gu Yong continued: "If our army continues to fight with the Han army now, it may give Liu Adou a chance to attack Wu."

As soon as Gu Yong finished speaking, Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.

‘Am I still afraid that Liu Adou will not succeed?’

Gu Qi

‘Didn’t his father eventually die of illness in Baidi City because of his failure to conquer Wu?’

'...'

‘I’m... really a little scared.’

Sun Quan couldn't help but shudder, because after calming down, he also knew that the current situation of the Three Kingdoms was no longer what it was when Liu Bei first ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty!"

Just when Sun Quan was thinking about it secretly, Gu Yong suddenly said: "Temporarily give up the south of Jiaogui, and re-send envoys to Chang'an to rebuild the alliance."

In Gu Yong's view, even if Lu Xun was allowed to continue attacking Jiaozhou, it would be difficult for Wu to capture Jiaozhou and Guilin. After all, the Han Dynasty had defeated Cao Wei, and Cao Wei had just replaced a new monarch.

The possibility of another war breaking out between Han and Wei in a short period of time is too small.

If the Wei State cannot contain the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty can easily deal with the threat from Wu, it is better to take this opportunity to renew the alliance with the Han Dynasty, even if it gives up the prefectures and counties that have been captured by the Han army.

What’s the loss?

Who makes us unable to regain the lost land?

If we continue to fight, Dawu may face the danger of destroying the country.

It’s better to settle for the next best thing.

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Yong suddenly looked kind-hearted and said with a smile: "Liu Chan has a daughter named Rongyue, she is about nine years old..." Gu Yong paused and looked around the hall, and then went to Sun Quan.

He bowed and said: "The third prince is already fifteen this year...it's better..."

Gu Yong did not continue.

Of course the civil and military ministers in the main hall and Sun Quan on the throne could understand what Gu Yong meant.

Sun He, the third prince's son, is fifteen years old this year, and Liu Chan's eldest daughter is nine years old. Although they are both underage, one is the prince of Wu and the other is the princess of Han, so they are a perfect match.

"If we, Da Wu, form a marriage relationship with Da Han..." Gu Yong said with a smile: "My Da Wu's crisis will be solved immediately."

Just——

The civil and military ministers in the main hall and Sun Quan on the throne were still a little confused. After all, Liu Rongyue was Liu Chan's eldest princess.

Would he agree to marry the eldest princess of Han Dynasty to an ordinary prince of Wu?

......

January 8, the seventeenth year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty (AD 239).

Chang'an.

Weiyang Palace.

"Haha——"

Liu Chan looked a little speechless, shook his head helplessly, and laughed loudly: "Sun Shiwan is so calculating."

"Your Majesty!" Sun Hong immediately said attentively: "I, Da Wu, really want to renew our alliance with the Han Dynasty... Our army has withdrawn from Jiaozhou..." Sun Hong paused as he spoke, and then went to Liu Chanxing again

He bowed and said: "My lord has decided to redefine the boundaries between Han and Wu, and all south of Jiaozhou will belong to the Han. At the same time, he generously requests marriage with the Han."

"Haha——" Liu Chan laughed again, but the laughter was not joyful at all. Strictly speaking, it was a bit speechless.

‘Little Jindou is only nine years old now, and your grandson Shiwan is already thinking about you?’

"I agreed to redraw the national borders;" Liu Chan suddenly became serious and said: "But the matter of marriage... hum..."

Sun Hong couldn't help but be stunned. This was the second time he was sent as an envoy to Chang'an.

This time Da Wu finally made a compromise with Da Han.

Although it is indeed difficult for Da Wu to compete with the Han Dynasty in terms of strength, Da Wu is also a country that has two states.

Even though the Han Dynasty has become very powerful now, the situation of the three kingdoms standing as a tripartite has not changed at all. It is just that the previous situation of Wei being strong and Han and Wu being weak has been replaced by a situation in which Han is strong and Wu and Wei are weak.

But——

Is the Han really willing to offend Wei and Wu at the same time?

The princes and princesses of the two countries are getting married. This is a great opportunity for the two countries of Han and Wu to renew their alliance. However, Sun Hong heard a very disdainful meaning from Liu Chan's laughter.

Liu Adou——

Do you want to imitate Guan Yun Changhu?
