Looking at Xu Yun walking away, Sun Quan's face immediately darkened, and he glared at the civil and military ministers in the entire hall.
"Everyone, please tell me!"
"What to do now?"
Sun Quan's words seemed to be in vain, because Soochow was currently in a difficult situation, and the four Han armies had already reached the hinterland of Soochow. All the troops that Soochow could mobilize were now deployed to resist the Han army. At this time, Cao Wei sent out troops again.
Come.
What else?
Is it possible that we are enemies on both sides?
Seeing that no one in the hall spoke, Sun Quan was so angry that all of them were blowing their beards and staring. These people who usually boast of their talents have now become mute.
Just when Sun Quan was about to get angry, Zhongshu ordered Sun Hong to step out and cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Wu has powerful enemies in both the north and the south. If Cao Wei is allowed to return Hefei, I think Cao Wei will not necessarily do it."
We will really send troops to attack the Han!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he stopped being angry and asked in a deep voice: "In my opinion, what should I, the Great Wu, do to resolve the current crisis?"
Sun Quan agreed with Sun Hong's remarks. Even if he really agreed to hand over Hefei to Cao Wei now, there was no guarantee that Cao Wei would send troops to attack the Han Dynasty. If Cao Wei captured Hefei, it was still possible to send troops south.
After all, there is a saying that goes like this: beat the dog in the water hard.
"Your Majesty!" Sun Hong saluted again and then said slowly: "I believe that the war with the Han should be ended immediately. As long as the war with the Han is ended, Cao Wei will not dare to covet Hefei."
"???"
Everyone was stunned. At this time, the Han army had already reached the hinterland of Soochow. How to end this war?
Blow with your mouth?
Blow all the Han troops back to Chang'an?
"Your Majesty!" Sun Hong continued: "Han and Wu originally belonged to the alliance. This time the two countries did not have to fight... It's just..." As he said, he sighed, and then said: "There may be only one possible way at the moment.
It can stop the Han army from attacking, and it can also prevent Cao Wei from coveting Wu's Hefei."
"Oh???" Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought that if he had such a plan, he would certainly not get what he asked for, so he asked anxiously: "If you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly."
"Your Majesty!" Sun Hong bowed and said: "Submit to the Han Dynasty!"
"What the hell?" Sun Quan suddenly became furious.
I thought it was a good idea, but it turned out that he was asked to surrender to Liu Adou. Seeing that Sun Quan was angry, Sun Hong hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, the so-called surrender to the Han Dynasty by the humble minister is just a delaying tactic. It is not really asking your Majesty to surrender to the big Han Dynasty.
Surrender."
Sun Quan temporarily suppressed the anger he had expressed. He wanted to hear what bad idea this old boy had. Anyway, if he said something wrong, he would kill someone today to vent his anger.
As a veteran of Soochow, Sun Hong certainly knew Sun Quan's temperament.
"Your Majesty!" Sun Hong said: "Right now, we, Soochow, are under attack from the north and south, and the Han army is strong and powerful. We, the state of Wu, cannot compete with them. It is better to temporarily surrender to them and only claim to be ministers but not accept territory. This may allow the Han army to withdraw from Wu."
environment."
"If the Han army retreats..." Sun Hong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Your Majesty can prepare your troops and wait for the opportunity."
Hearing this, Sun Quan felt a little unhappy, but the current situation was already full of dangers for Soochow.
If we continue to fight against the Han army, perhaps the final result will be the destruction of Soochow.
"Your Majesty!" Sun Hong saw that Sun Quan was hesitant and continued: "If you want Cao Wei to send troops to help, you are seeking the skin of a tiger and luring a wolf into the house.
Moreover, Sima Yi is now in control of the Cao Wei regime. He is a resourceful man and his intelligence is no less than Zhuge Liang. Now that the Han Dynasty is strong, Sima Yi will definitely not compete with the Han Dynasty. Instead, he may attack Wu to strengthen his power."
Sun Quan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Sun Hong's words seemed to make sense. Based on the current strength comparison of the three kingdoms, let alone Cao Wei, even the alliance of Wei and Wu was not necessarily the opponent of the Han. Would Sima Yi easily start a war with the Han?
Absolutely not.
This time Sima Zhao sent his troops south, not just as a deterrent, they might not care whether I agree to return Hefei or not.
Even if I give Hefei to them, they may still raise their troops and go south.
"Sun Hong!" Sun Quan suddenly said: "I ordered Aiqing to be my envoy and immediately went to Chang'an to meet Liu Adou and told him that I would like to take the imperial title. From now on, Wu would like to be a vassal state of the Han Dynasty."
Sun Quan figured it out.
Although the Wu army has now blocked the attack of more than 200,000 Han troops, the Wu army is inferior to the Han army in terms of total number of troops and weapons and equipment, not to mention that the Han army also has Zhuge Liang, who is as smart as a monster.
If the stalemate continues, Soochow will surely perish.
Rather than being destroyed by the Han army, it is better to retreat and do the next best thing and temporarily remove the imperial title. As long as the Han army is willing to retreat, then Wu will still have the possibility to rise.
As for Cao Wei, he didn't believe it.
If the Han Dynasty is a tiger, then Cao Wei is a wolf.
Once the Wei army breaks through Hefei, they will soon reach the walls of Wuchang. With the current strength of the Wu army, it is impossible to compete head-on with the Wei army. After all, the Han army is still in Soochow.
As long as the Wei army reaches Wuchang, Sun Quan has only two options.
Surrender, or die for your country.
If they surrender, according to the current momentum of the Han Dynasty, it will not be long before the Han Dynasty will attack Cao Wei again. In terms of strength, Cao Wei will be destroyed.
If the Han Dynasty destroyed Cao Wei, wouldn't Sun Quan have to surrender to the Han Dynasty again?
After walking around for a long time, if you choose to surrender, you will have to surrender to the big man.
It is better to surrender to the Han Dynasty and dethrone the imperial title. Even if he continues to be the king of Wu, there is nothing wrong with him. Now he still has the capital to negotiate. Once any troops from the Han and Wei Dynasties arrive in Wuchang, Soochow will only
There will be one result - destruction.
......
June 17, the thirteenth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty (AD 252).
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
After Liu Chan listened to Sun Hong's words, he did not answer immediately. He just shook his head helplessly. Sun Hong was very worried that Liu Chan would refuse, so he continued: "Your Majesty, our Lord has agreed to your Majesty's request and will abolish the imperial title from now on.
I would like to be the King of Wu."
"King Wu...King Wu...hahaha..." Liu Chan laughed loudly and said: "Sun Shiwan really made a good calculation."
"King Wu... What's the difference between King Wu and Emperor Wu?" Liu Chan asked.
Sun Hong was immediately shocked, because this pretense of surrender to the Han was his suggestion to Sun Quan. Although Soochow agreed to abolish the imperial title, Sun Quan was still the king of Soochow, and his status was the same as before he became emperor.
"Go back and tell Sun Quan!" Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "Now that my king's division is under pressure, it can no longer be solved by abolishing the imperial title."
"If Sun Quan is willing to surrender!" Liu Chan looked at Sun Hong and said: "In addition to abolishing the imperial title, the military and political affairs of Soochow must be taken over by ministers sent by me... It is not impossible for Sun Quan to want to be the king of Wu...
"As he said that, Liu Chan smiled and said: "Then I will grant Yizhou to him, so that he can garrison Yizhou for generations and serve as the king of Wu for generations."
"What?" Sun Hong was shocked when he heard this: "Yizhou?"
"Yes, it's Yizhou!" Liu Chan said with certainty: "If Sun Quan truly surrenders, let him immediately go to Yizhou to join the vassal state. Otherwise, our great army of the Han Dynasty will definitely crush Soochow."
