"Haha, the prince-in-law destroyed Linyi in fifteen days, Ziyu destroyed Jiangdong in three months, the Lan family and his son could not move, but if they moved, they were like thunder. Sun Zhongmou took the initiative to provoke, can An Neng be undefeated?" Liu Bei stroked his beard and laughed.
"This is not the original intention of the King of Wu. It is actually because Lu Ziheng had a rift with General Lan and randomly speculated on the King's intention, causing a misunderstanding..." Zhuge Jin lost any confidence at the end of his words.
When Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Jin was still unwilling to give up, he waved his hand to Song Chen and said, "Song Qing, tell me the most important things about the situation in Jiangdong. Ziyu still has illusions."
"Only." Song Chen clasped his fists and nodded, turned around and said to Zhuge Jin: "Before Mr. Ziyu went to Chang'an, Lu Fan was defeated in Yichun and committed suicide. The rest of the army, including Lu Zhi, all surrendered. Later, he defeated the Dongwu Navy in the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan saw the water.
After losing the battle, he sought to escape far away. On September 23, he took 100,000 soldiers and civilians into exile at sea, and Yangzhou was conquered."
"Where is the Grand Governor?" Zhuge Jin asked.
"General Lu was defeated by Jiang Cheng in the Yangtze River water battle. General Gan used Wu general Lu as a base, and Luo Tong persuaded him to surrender. General Lu immediately surrendered and helped General Gan pacify Wu Hui. If Mr. Ziyu doesn't believe it, you can ask Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng),
Huishu (Zhang Wen)." Song Chen added his answer and spread his fingers. Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wen both nodded in response.
"Bo Yan is not a greedy person, so how could he surrender so carelessly? Could it be that General Lan used his family as a threat?" Zhuge Jin felt like his head was going to explode. Lu Xun's defection meant that Sun Quan no longer had a barrier, so it was natural that he would be defeated in a devastating manner.
Song Chen shook his head gently, "General Lan acted openly and aboveboard, how could he do what he did? In fact, Sun Quan wanted to kill him with poison and wine, but unfortunately the revelation of the matter chilled General Lu, so he surrendered."
"How could King Wu..." Zhuge Jin looked unbelieving.
Lan Tian didn't make it clear in the memorial, but the officials in the palace couldn't help but whisper after hearing it. Zhang Fei was the first to stand up and shout: "People's words come from their hearts, and that blue-eyed child is disgusting. It turns out that his heart is so sinister. Lu Xun is like this
How much injustice have you suffered? If I were him, I would rebel."
Liu Bei stroked his beard and sighed: "I heard that Lu Bo spoke of being a humble gentleman, but in the end Sun Quan was tempted to kill him. I feel bad for him just thinking about it."
Zhang Fei then suggested to Zhuge Jin: "Mr. Ziyu, have you seen the consequences of being loyal to Sun Quan? Wouldn't everyone be happy to stay and assist His Majesty with the Prime Minister?"
"Your Majesty, Third General, this rumor is contrary to common sense. Jin thinks it cannot be taken seriously..." Zhuge Jin was still deceiving himself.
"How can what Song Qing said be false? If Lu Boyan hadn't wanted to help Ziyu stabilize Jiangdong, I would have summoned him to Beijing to talk to you in detail. However, Ziyu's family is still in Jianye, and we can go back with them then. The right and wrong are not the same.
Is everything clear? Besides, my husband’s best son-in-law is right here, he won’t lie to you, right?” After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng was called by Liu Bei, and he quickly turned around and explained: "My uncle, my son-in-law, although I haven't heard it from General Lu himself, it is indeed spread among the army. I think it is very credible..."
Zhuge Jin ignored Zhang Cheng, but overjoyed and confirmed to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty really wants to release his ministers and return to Jiangdong?"
Liu Bei nodded slightly and said meaningfully: "Since Ziyu has pacified Yangzhou, it might as well go back to reunite with his family first. Sir, you are full of knowledge and can contribute to the country. When you have figured it out, come back to Chang'an to find me, or find me on the spot."
Ziyu has arranged that if sir has other ideas, I will go to Kong Ming to invite him."
"Uh...Jin, don't worry..." Zhuge Jin bowed and thanked him.
Liu Bei then exchanged greetings with Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wen, and found that they were both talented and learned people, so he intended to keep them in the capital for their benefit.
After a while, Liu Bei called Chen Dao into the Xuanshi Hall and said: "Uncle Zhi, Zhongsi, Huishu has come from Yangzhou to work hard, and I will send them to the post house to rest for a while. I will hold a banquet to welcome them in the evening."
"Wei." Chen Dao cupped his fists and accepted the order.
The three of them bowed and were about to leave after hearing the order. Liu Bei stopped Song Chen again and said, "Song Qing will stay here and talk."
"Wei." Song Chen stood still and clasped his fists.
"Your Majesty, I too..." Zhuge Jin was about to say something before leaving the class but hesitated.
"Tzuyu, let's go too. We haven't seen you for a long time. We should have a lot to talk about." Liu Bei waved his hand gently.
Zhuge Jin quickly saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the "outsiders" from Jiangdong left the Xuanshi Palace, Liu Bei looked around at everyone and stroked his beard and sighed: "Ziyu occupied Yangzhou with lightning speed and allowed Gan Xingba to garrison in Ruxu. Cao Pi had already transferred the Huainan army back, and Yunchang and Tongguan were under sudden pressure.
Minus, I can finally turn around and take care of Cao Zhen."
"When will your Majesty send out troops? The veteran is willing to be the vanguard." Huang Zhong was the first to stand up.
"How can we forget you, the great general who conquered the West?" Liu Bei laughed.
Situ Pangtong immediately went out to admonish: "Your Majesty, the remaining Cao army in Yongliang has no roots. In fact, there is no need to rush to conquer it. It doesn't hurt to rest for a while. Now that General Lan has conquered Yangzhou and threatened Huainan, Cao Pi has no spare time to take care of it."
Cao Zhen, the situation in Jiangdong is very complicated. Originally, there was a lot of internal fighting, but now things have changed, it may not be stable. If it is not handled well, it may lead to trouble."
"General Lan asked Er Zhang to come to see His Majesty, which also confirms Pang Situ's analysis from the side." After Wei Wei Chen Zhen finished speaking, he asked Song Chen: "General Song, I wonder how General Lan will deal with the Sun clan?"
Song Chen cupped his fists and answered: "Except for Sun Deng and Sun Luban, Sun Quan's family ran away with his father. The remaining wives, concubines and children were all controlled in the Wu palace. Sun Ce's three daughters all married into wealthy families, and his son Sun Shao was also trapped.
In the forbidden Jianye Mansion, Sun Yi's only son Sun Song was beheaded by the Prince Consort's formation. The remaining Sun Qiang, Sun Jing's collateral descendants, and married women were not pursued. The remaining men were all controlled in the fiefdom. General Lan did not dare to overstep his bounds.
Please deal with it, please His Majesty’s Holy Judgment.”
"The Sun family in Jiangdong is really prosperous, but it is a pity that Sun Quan attached to the rebellious Cao family, and was eventually uprooted by Ziyu." After Liu Bei sighed, he immediately asked the officials: "Sun Quan abandoned his wife and children and went into exile, thinking that there would be no possibility of turning around in this life.
, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Shangshu Deng Zhi said: "The Sun family has been operating in Jiangdong for decades, and their relationship with the local gentry is deeply entangled. If your Majesty wants to be lenient, you should move them all to other places and eliminate their roots."
"Is there any more?" Liu Bei continued to ask.
The prince of the Shaofu offered his advice and said: "Your Majesty has ascended the throne as the emperor, and the rear palace is still empty. Why not select a few virtuous people to fill the rear palace? This can not only show the emperor's ambition, but also appease the Sun family. It is the best of both worlds."
"
"Absolutely not. Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world. How can you imitate the traitor Cao Cao and take Sun Quan's wives and concubines?" Lai Gong was the first to object.
"Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Lai. Although Sun Quan's wives and concubines are dead flowers, his two daughters are still young. Why can't your majesty enter the palace as beautiful women?" After Wang Mou said this, he asked Song Chen: "General Song, how young are Sun Quan's daughters?"
"Uh...the eldest daughter Sun Luban is already married, the second daughter Sun Luxian has just grown hairpins, and the youngest daughter Sun Luyu is only ten years old..." Song Chen answered truthfully with fists in his hands.
Wang Mou was overjoyed after hearing this, and he quickly raised his hand and suggested: "Your Majesty, Sun Lu is very young, so why not accept him?"
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. How could he bring fire to himself? Before Lai Gong could refute, he quickly interrupted: "It's ridiculous. If I marry a young girl at such a young age, how should the people in the world look at me?"
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, so you can talk to others when the harem is empty. Didn't Cao Cao accept many young girls in the past? Only when your Majesty accepts beautiful girls can you stop Youyou's mouth." Wang Mou continued to fight.
