"Asshole!"
"Asshole!"
"Liu Adou, you've gone too far!"
In the Wuchang Palace, Sun Quan was furious and his fists clenched loudly. The two letters of challenge thrown on the main hall were so dazzling.
Dozens of civil and military officials were so frightened that they did not even dare to make a sound.
In three days, Sun Quan received two letters of challenge in a row, both of which were written to him by Liu Chan, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
One copy was sent back three days ago by Lu Ju, the prefect of Yiling, and the other was sent back today by Nie You, the prefect of Linhe County.
The contents of the war book were exactly the same, accusing Soochow of betraying its faith and sending people to Chang'an to spread rumors in order to cause disharmony between the emperor and his ministers... The final result was that the Han emperor Liu Chan was very dissatisfied with this and decided to terminate the war with Soochow.
alliance, and a deadline of ten days for the king and ministers of Dongwu to surrender unconditionally to the Han Dynasty.
If Soochow refuses to surrender within ten days, the Han will immediately send troops to attack Wu.
"Your Majesty!"
Just after Sun Quan became angry, Zhongshu ordered Sun Hong to go out with a frown and said: "Your Majesty, I, the Great Wu, will never go to war with the Han... The Han is so powerful that if a war breaks out between Wu and Han... I, the Great Wu
..." As he said that, he paused and then continued: "The humble minister advised me to immediately send an envoy to Chang'an to see the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, stating that the person who spread the rumors in Chang'an was definitely not the one who spread the rumors in Chang'an, and it must be Cao Wei who did it.
."
Six months ago, Liu Chan returned to Chang'an from his Western Expedition. In order to show his goodwill to Liu Chan, Soochow sent envoy Zhu Ying to Chang'an to pay a visit to Liu Chan.
When Zhu Ying came back, he said that Liu Chan was very friendly to him and asked him to say hello to Emperor Sun Quan of Soochow on his behalf.
The entire Soochow courtiers basically knew about this matter.
But it has only been a few months.
Why did such a big change happen, causing Liu Chan to issue two letters of challenge in a row, and even issued an ultimatum?
What's even more terrible is that the Han army has assembled 60,000 naval troops in Zigui, led by the naval commander Li Feng, who has already arrived at Yiling City. At the same time, the Han army has assembled 20 more troops in the three counties of Jiaozhou, Guilin and Cangwu.
Wanbuqi, ready to enter the border of Soochow at any time.
Sun Hong was very worried, worried that a war would break out between Wu and Han, and it would be difficult for Soochow to resist.
But as soon as Sun Hong finished speaking, General Zhuge Ke sneered and said: "Haven't Zhongshu Ling noticed it yet? It's not that I, Da Wu, want to go to war with the Han Dynasty, but that Liu Adou wants to destroy my Da Wu...
"As he said this, he paused and glanced at Sun Hong with some indifference.
Zhuge Ke has always looked down upon Sun Hong because he felt that Sun Hong was insidious and cunning and good at flattery. It was because of his slander that Zhang Xiu was killed a few years ago.
"General!" Sun Hong retorted: "Now that Han is strong and Wu and Wei are weak, if a war breaks out between Han and Wu, how can I, the great Wu, stop it?"
Although there is nothing wrong with what Zhuge Ke said.
Liu Chan suddenly issued a declaration of war and an ultimatum to the State of Wu. This clearly meant that he wanted to destroy the State of Wu. Otherwise, he was just spreading rumors and would not have caused such a big battle.
But he knew more clearly that with the current situation in the world, if Wu State wanted to continue to inherit Zuo, it could only swallow its anger and make peace with the Han Dynasty. This was Wu State's only choice at the moment.
"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" Zhuge Ke said loudly, and then saluted Sun Quan and said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. Since Liu Adou wants to destroy Wu, we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Soochow.
Horses are not made of clay." He paused, and then continued: "Your Majesty, negotiating with Liu Adou now is to seek the skin of a tiger. It is better to send people to Luoyang quickly. As the saying goes, once I am gone, Dawu will be gone.
The next one is naturally Cao Wei."
Sun Quan was very angry, but he also understood that no matter how angry he was now, he could not change the current situation. When Zhuge Ke finished speaking, he nodded slightly, then glanced around the hall, and finally looked at Gu Tan: "Gu Aiqing!"<
/p>
"The minister is here!" Gu Tan responded and came out.
Sun Quan said: "Now that the country is in crisis, I would like to ask you to go to Luoyang quickly, join forces with Cao Wei, and defeat the Han army together!"
"I obey the order!"
Gu Tan did not refuse and immediately agreed.
For decades, this was the pattern among the Three Kingdoms. When Wei was strong, Han and Wu united to fight against Wei. Now that the Han Dynasty was about to raise troops to attack Wu, Sun Quan felt that Cao Wei must understand the principle of losing one's lips and teeth.
Gu Tan was sent as envoy to Luoyang, and then Sun Quan was busy mobilizing troops and generals.
In the afternoon of the same day, people were sent to Hefei to summon General Ding Feng. Ding Feng made great achievements in the battle of Hefei. Now it is the time of life and death for Soochow. Moreover, after Hefei has been governed for many years, even if Cao Wei attacks, it will be very difficult.
Difficult to break through easily.
Moreover, Sun Quan is now more afraid of the Han than Cao Wei, because Wu is now threatened by the Han army on both sides. Although the Han army goes down the Yangtze River defense line, along the Yangtze River, Wu's navy is not a vegetarian.
It can still resist the Han army for a while.
However, because the Han army occupied the south of Jiaogui, this made Sun Quan a little difficult, because in addition to going down the river from Zigui, the Han army could also go north from the three counties of Jiaozhou, Cangwu, and Guilin.
Once the Han army moves north from the three counties, it will soon reach the city of Wuchang, the capital of the Wu Kingdom.
At this time, the safety of Hefei is naturally not that important. Now Sun Quan is more concerned about the safety of the entire Wu Kingdom.
...
March 12, 252 AD.
When a gust of sea breeze blows, Jiaozhou is full of vitality again. There is still a slight chill in Jiaozhou in March, but it makes the 50,000 Han troops in the north of Jiaozhou feel refreshed.
"Soldiers!"
On the general stage, Ma Dai, the general of Zhendong, slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist and said loudly: "Today is a special day. According to your Majesty's decree, the monarchs and ministers of Dongwu surrender to my great Han within ten days." As he said,
Ma Dai raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the auxiliary general Zhao Tong next to him, and then continued: "But yesterday was the ten-day deadline."
As soon as he said this, Ma Dai felt that it was unnecessary for him to say it.
Why?
Calculating the time, the Han Dynasty sent two letters of war to Soochow ten days ago. Perhaps at this time, Sun Quan had just seen the letters of war.
Ten days period?
Haha——
"Since the monarchs and ministers of Soochow do not understand current affairs!" Ma Dai continued: "Then my strong cavalry will go and teach them a lesson."
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
In an instant, 50,000 cavalrymen shouted in unison.
These Han soldiers have actually known for a long time. They have been transferred from various places to the southern border in the past few months. They are definitely not transferred to guard Jiaozhou.
There's going to be a war.
As for the emperor's ultimatum to Soochow, it was just a formality. Let alone the possibility of Soochow's monarchs and ministers voluntarily surrendering, even if they were really afraid of the Han and decided to surrender to the Han and become vassal, that time would not allow it.
Ten days, day and night travel from Cangwu, maybe we can reach Wuchang, but Yiling is closer to Wuchang. Even so, when the monarchs and ministers of Dongwu receive the letter of war, they will discuss it and decide whether to surrender to the Han Dynasty, but time
The ten-day deadline may have already passed.
Yesterday was the tenth day, and early this morning, 50,000 Han troops were already in formation.
As soon as the roar of the soldiers stopped, Ma Dai and Zhao Tong got on their horses, and then Ma Dai fiercely picked up the reins of the horses. When the horses leaped high, they heard him shout loudly: "Go to war!"
