Hefei was captured and Hongnong was besieged. It seemed that Cao Wei was in danger, but after more than half a year of conquest, Sima Yi saw the key to the problem.
"Your Majesty!"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Wei Chen feels that last year Xi Shu sent an envoy to say that Xi Shu wanted to destroy Wu... It was actually a smoke bomb..." At this point, Cao Rui was stunned. He seemed to Problems were also found.
"His purpose is not to destroy Wu..." Sima Yi continued: "The real purpose should be to provoke a war between Wei and Wu... Alas..." He sighed and said, "But we all fell into his trap. When."
Cao Rui nodded slightly.
If he still can't understand things until now, then his role as emperor will be in vain. He just sent an envoy to tell Wei that I want to destroy Wu. Do you want to participate?
As a result, not long after turning around, Xi Shu did not go to destroy Wu. Instead, Dong Wu raised his troops and went north to attack the Wei Dynasty. Moreover, when the fierce battle between the Wei Dynasty and Dong Wu was in full swing, they suddenly left Tongguan and made a It is necessary to attack the Wei Dynasty from two sides with Soochow.
"How should we deal with it now?" Cao Rui asked.
Sima Yi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Use your own way to counter him."
......
April 6, 241 AD.
Wuchang Imperial Palace.
After conquering Hefei in the first battle, Sun Quan was in a good mood these days.
In the morning——
"Foreign Minister Fei Yi, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Mr. Wen Wei, no courtesy!" Sun Quan was very polite.
Every time he met with Han envoys, especially after the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Chang'an, Sun Quan was very angry, because even an ordinary Han envoy could command with great arrogance, acting like an envoy from a big country facing a monarch from a small country.
But today, when Sun Quan looked at Fei Yi, not only did he not feel angry, but he looked at Fei Yi and felt particularly kind.
Fei Yi smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for capturing Hefei in one battle."
However, after Fei Yi finished speaking, he asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, the Wu army is extremely powerful in this battle. We, a big man, were about to send troops to attack Luoyang, but why did your Majesty suddenly return to Wuchang?"
"Hahaha!" Sun Quan laughed loudly when he heard this: "Mr. Wen Wei, I don't want to continue going north to attack Wei -" Sun Quan suddenly sighed and said: "In fact, in the battle of Hefei, I, Wu, lost his troops and generals, and his vitality was seriously damaged. ."
Of course, Sun Quan said this on his lips, but in his heart he was like a mirror. Your master, Liu Adou, is really smart. Didn’t he just want to provoke a war between Wu and Wei?
When he was in Hefei and learned that the Han army was leaving Tongguan in the east, Sun Quan thought that Liu Adou really wanted to unite with Wu to destroy Wei. However, he later discovered that the leader of the Han army was Wu Yi and his deputy was Guan Xing. Although it seemed quite To bluff people, 50,000 troops left Tongguan.
But——
After the Han army arrived at Hongnong, they did not take the opportunity to quickly defeat Hongnong and march eastward to Luoyang. Instead, they worked as foreigners under Hongnong City.
After learning this result, Sun Quan felt that something was wrong.
In addition, the Wu army has captured Hefei, which is considered a great victory. As the saying goes, it is easy to give up when the situation is good. With Soochow's current strength, it is still a bit difficult to go north to destroy Wei.
So Sun Quan left 50,000 soldiers and horses with Quan Cong and Ding Feng to guard Hefei, while he returned to Wuchang to see if the Han army would make any moves next.
For example, the Han army stormed Hongnong and then marched eastward to Luoyang.
If so, Wu Jun can go north at any time.
But——
Things were not what he thought. Although the Han army also launched an attack on Hongnong, they had no intention of breaking the city.
Anyway, I can’t see that the Han army has any intention of destroying Wei.
If the Han army cannot destroy Wei, then Soochow will just stop its troops.
At this time, Sun Quan had suffered too much losses and had to stop the attack. Fei Yi could not push too hard. Originally, his purpose this time was different from Li Jie's purpose last year.
After the Battle of Hefei between Wei and Wu, it was difficult for Cao Wei and Soochow to form an alliance in a short time.
Liu Chan's goal has been achieved.
Fei Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, the Wu army contributed in this battle. For the sake of good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, I, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, sent a foreign minister to bring 300 Xiliang war horses as a gift to Your Majesty.
”
Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this. What Soochow lacked most was war horses.
Although Liu Chan had a feeling of being rewarded by the monarch, Sun Quan still said with satisfaction: "Then I won't be polite. I also ask Mr. Wen Wei to say hello to your master for me when he returns to Chang'an."
As the saying goes, etiquette is more important than affection. The real purpose of Fei Yi's entry into Wu this time is to draw Soochow to the side of the Han Dynasty, so that there is no possibility of alliance between Wei and Wu.
At the same time.
Just when Fei Yi was on an envoy to Soochow, Cao Wei also sent envoys to Chang'an.
"Your Majesty!" Wei envoy Yang Fu said: "Han and Wei are friendly countries. Last year, your Majesty invited me, the Wei Dynasty, to send troops to attack Wu..." After speaking, Yang Fu sighed, and then asked Liu Chan: "Why did your Majesty go back on your word and send troops to attack me?"
The city of the Wei Dynasty?"
"Your envoy is here to hold me accountable?" Liu Chan said coldly.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Fu cupped his hands and said, "It's not the foreign ministers who hold your Majesty accountable. It's just that your Majesty first sent envoys to unite with the Wei Dynasty, but then sent troops to attack the Wei Dynasty. This... what's the truth?"
Why do you blame me?
You are the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I am the envoy of the Wei Dynasty.
Can’t I hold you accountable if you go back on your word?
Originally, Yang Fu thought that the Han Dynasty was in the wrong and Liu Chan would at least say a few polite words. However, when Liu Chan heard this, he sneered and said, "Could it be that I have to ask Cao Rui for his opinion when I send troops to fight? I will fight Cao Wei." No?"
Yang Fu was stunned. Liu Chan still didn't follow the rules.
It’s already this time, can’t you be more polite?
Hum——
No.
Yang Fu's mission to Chang'an this time was destined to be another humiliating trip. He was originally ordered by Cao Rui to hold Liu Chan accountable. The purpose of course was to make Liu Chan feel wronged and withdraw from the Han army outside Hongnong City.
However, Liu Chan didn't buy it.
If you want the Han to withdraw their troops, you can.
Cao Wei first withdrew his troops from Hefei.
Reason?
Soochow is our ally of the Han Dynasty. Now you, Cao Wei, are fighting with my allies. How can I, the Han Dynasty, just sit back and watch?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This chaotic war between the Three Kingdoms lasted until the beginning of the third year of the Han Dynasty, when Liu Chan recalled Wu Yi and Guan Xing from Hongnong County.
April 18th, the third year of the Han Dynasty (AD 242).
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
During the morning court, Liu Chan's face was ashen, he looked at the civil and military ministers in the main hall, and said angrily: "The Sassanids bully others too much, I swear to destroy them."
Liu Chan is really angry.
Just a few days ago, Guo Huai, the Protectorate of the Western Regions, sent a letter to Chang'an, saying that the Sasanian Dynasty of the Western Regions suddenly sent troops to attack the Dawan Kingdom years ago.
Dawan is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. If the vassal state is attacked by others, if the Han Dynasty just sits back and ignores it, the other countries in the Western Regions may be in danger.
Originally, the countries in the Western Regions chose to rely on the Han Dynasty in order to seek asylum from the great power.
If you depend on a big man and you are bullied by others, then why should you still depend on a big man?
"Preach the message!"
Liu Chan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "In three days, we will raise two hundred thousand troops to attack the Sassanid thieves."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang came out and asked: "Your Majesty, who should be the commander of the Sasanian troops this time?"
After learning that Liu Chan had traveled to the future, Zhuge Liang's horizons also opened up. He knew that the world was not just the Central Plains, but that the world was actually very big.
Naturally, Zhuge Liang would not have any objections to sending troops to attack Sassanid this time. First of all, Dawan was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. The vassal state was being bullied. As the suzerain state, it was natural to stand up for the vassal state.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner!
What's more, the Han Dynasty now has enough confidence to protect the Han Dynasty's vassal countries.
Two years ago, Liu Chan re-calculated the population of the Han Dynasty, and all the people who had been concealed by the wealthy families were found out.
Although there are a small number of large clans that do not cooperate, Liu Chan is very tough on the clans that do not cooperate.
Kill without mercy——
