More than twenty years ago, Sun Quan sent someone to ask Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou, to marry the tiger girl of the Guan family on behalf of his son.
This move once put Guan Yu into a dilemma.
In response, a thunder will be planted between Guan Yu and Liu Bei.
After all, Liu Bei entrusted the entire Jingzhou to Guan Yu. If Guan Yu secretly marries Sun Quan, what would Liu Bei, who is far away in Shu, think?
Or what do others think Liu Bei would think?
If not, Sun Quan can accuse Guan Yu of destroying the Sun-Liu alliance and find an excuse to attack Jingzhou in the future.
Even if Guan Yu adopts the most conservative approach and sends people to Shuzhong to report, it is enough to frustrate Liu Bei:
Aren’t you, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu as brothers and sisters, as affectionate as father and son?
Why does Guan Yu even have to report his daughter’s marriage to you?
Do you really distrust others?
As for Guan Yu, what if he had to travel thousands of miles to send someone to Shu to ask Liu Bei for instructions on his daughter's marriage?
what is this?
Guan Yu, the most dignified general in Liu Bei's group and the man with full authority to guard Jingzhou, is such a figure without any opinion?
How is this different from a woman?
It’s so easy to look down upon!
Therefore, it was not without reason that Guan Yu came and cursed.
Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, the situation changed, and Guan Yu's son-in-law also sent a letter to Lu Xun, who was guarding Jingzhou.
This also put Lu Xun in a dilemma.
If you dare to defeat Shangyong in front of me, you are breaking the Han-Wu alliance. Don't blame me for being rude then.
Which one is more important, Youzhou or Shangyong, you can weigh it yourself.
(Note: Han and Wu divided the world equally. Whether in history or in the book, Youzhou was assigned to the state of Wu)
(Chapter 1193, Lu Xun asked Feng to send troops to Wuguan, march into Wancheng, and promised to give up Youzhou, which originally belonged to Wu State, to Han State.
But Feng did not fulfill the agreement, let alone advance to Wancheng, and ran away before officially crossing the river to attack Caoqiao Pass, so this promise must be invalid, and Youzhou naturally still belongs to Wu.)
Taking advantage of his ability to turn defeat into victory last year, Mr. Feng also kindly reminded the general:
If you, the Wu State, don't take Hefei quickly, you will still be blocked under the city of Hefei while our men march eastward.
Then do you still want Qingzhou and Xuzhou that were originally allocated to you?
"For example, after the annexation of the Wei Dynasty, the king did not fully understand the destiny of heaven. Each king will display his virtues, each minister will fulfill his loyalty, and the war will begin."
This was what our right-guard general (Deng Zhi) said personally to the Lord of Wu when he was on a mission to the State of Wu.
Lord Wu even laughed and admitted it at that time.
After the destruction of Wei, the alliance between Han and Wu officially ended, and the two countries automatically became enemies.
If Qingxu and Qingzhou fall into our hands, do you still want to beg for Qingxu again just like you did for Jingzhou?
But once and never again!
How about using clever words to seduce Feng Langjun?
After these words, even the land general, who was known for his ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, could not hold on and directly broke through the defense on the spot.
General Shang, who had broken his guard, never thought that the purpose of the letter written by Feng was not limited to this.
Not only did he clearly want to rob Shangyong, but he also had extremely vicious intentions behind his back.
You, General, insist on fighting Shangyong, and I will not argue with you, but if the state of Wu loses any one or three of Youqingxu in the future, you will bear full responsibility.
When the time comes, you will see if Emperor Sun wants to die and you will be finished.
If you don't attack Shangyong and go to Hefei, then you will go back and openly slap Emperor Sun in the face.
If you don't attack Shangyong and don't attack Hefei, and you are threatened by someone like Feng, do you have to remind Emperor Sun to capture Hefei in time?
This is called relying on one's own superiority to slap the Emperor in the face from afar.
If you don't attack Shangyong, don't attack Hefei, and don't remind Emperor Sun, if the Han army robs Qing Xuyou in the future, Feng will inadvertently reveal:
Ah, I told the general about this a few years ago.
You see if Emperor Sun hates you to death, then you are finished...
It's an endless loop anyway.
I just want to trick you into making you even breathe wrong!
The only solution to this deadly cycle is for Emperor Sun to take the initiative to send troops in time to capture Hefei.
In Feng's opinion, this is equivalent to having no solution.
Sun Shiwan wins Hefei?
Hahaha!

"Wow ha ha ha ha……"
"Chengzhi, Chengzhi, sir, there's a letter, there's a letter!"
Shangyong goes upstream along the Han River, which is Hanzhong.
Today, the most famous county in Hanzhong is not Nanzheng County, but Nanxiang County.
Although after the emperor moved the capital, many departments such as the Exchange Reserve Bureau Academy in Nanxiang County also moved to Chang'an, and they were once more lost than before.
But soon, as the imperial court set up a shipyard in Hanzhong and tried to rebuild the navy, Nanxiang became lively again.
Because the address of the shipyard is exactly in Nanxiang.
In addition to the solid foundation laid by Feng Da Sima in his early years, this place also has better geographical conditions than Nanzheng.
Nanxiang is right on the edge of the Han River, and just down the river is Shangyong, which is closer than Nanzheng.
Not far to the north is Ziwu Valley, which leads directly to Chang'an. The distance is also much closer than Nanzheng.
After the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, the imperial court sent an engineering team to vigorously repair the passages between Hanzhong and Guanzhong to strengthen the connection between the two places.
Ziwu Valley, which is the shortest distance away, is naturally the focus of renovation.
Although the Ziwu Valley after renovation is still not as easy to walk as the Baoxie Road, it is now accessible to ordinary horse and caravans.
Unless transporting a large amount of supplies, ordinary business travelers now prefer to go through Ziwu Valley.
When walking through Ziwu Valley, Nanxiang is naturally the best place to go, and it is also the place to prepare the final supplies.
So soon, the place became lively again.
The most noisy place in Nanxiang is not inside the city, but in and around the shipyard outside the city.
Not only were most of the Han Dynasty's shipwrights gathered there, but the main force of the Han Dynasty's navy in the future was also basically here.
The sound of ships being built in the shipyard, and the sounds of the navy's simulated water warfare training, shouting to kill, continued day and night, quite inheriting the meaning of Nanxiang's "dance of demons".
Luo Xian jumped onto a bridge connecting the warships. The bridge board creaked and some water sprayed out from underneath.
The rocking of the warship caused the bridge to sway as well.
But Luo Xian had long been accustomed to this kind of shaking. He ran and jumped a few times and jumped onto the warship as if he were walking on flat ground.
His body swayed slightly with the warship, but his feet seemed to have roots, or seemed to have been integrated with the warship, and he did not appear to be unstable at all.
"Chengzhi, sir, there's a letter!"
Fu Qian, who was originally instructing the navy soldiers on how to fight on the ship, had already noticed Luo Xian.
But the shouting of death was so loud that he couldn't hear what the other party was saying for a while.
It wasn't until he saw Luo Xian holding up a letter that his eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
He turned around and gave some hurried instructions to the soldiers, then rushed over impatiently.
The small boat swayed from side to side under his feet, and you could even see sparkling water rising up from the side of the boat.
But this kind of shaking is insignificant to Fu Qian.
He jumped to another boat, and while his body swayed with the boat, he kept taking three steps and two steps at a time, and then jumped to the boat where Luo Xian was.
"Is it a letter from sir? Is it a letter from sir?"
Fu Qian shouted loudly before he came to Luo Xian, his eyes shining with hope.
"Letter from sir!"
"Great, show me quickly!"
Fu Qian took the letter from Luo Xian as if he was snatching it, and while opening it, he couldn't wait to ask:
"What did the gentleman say in the letter?"
"Sir said -" Luo Xian prolonged his voice and paused deliberately.
"Forget it, I'll see for myself!"
Fu Qian couldn't wait a moment and took out the letter.
"Sir, we are free to take matters into our own hands."
"What?" Fu Qian's hand froze when he opened the letter. He raised his head and looked at Luo Xian in disbelief, "What did you say?"
This time, Luo Xian could no longer suppress his ecstasy, and his voice was already trembling:
"Sir, as you said, we can take matters into our own hands."
"really?!"
Although he heard it twice, Fu Qian still couldn't believe it and repeatedly confirmed, "Sir, did you really say that?"
"When I saw the letter from your husband, I couldn't believe it." Luo Xian gestured to the letter in Fu Qian's hand, "If you don't believe it, just take a look."
Fu Qian quickly opened the letter. He didn't know if he was too excited. His hands were trembling a little and he almost tore the letter.
He scanned the contents of the letter as fast as he could in his life. When Fu Qian raised his head again, looked at Luo Xian, and said with some hesitation:
"Sir, sir, that's really what you said. All matters concerning superiority will be left to us to handle..."
Ever since I followed my husband, my biggest dream has been to follow him and fight in all directions.
Who said that he and others were allowed to lead the army to conquer the city alone for the first time?
"It's not a dream, it's not a dream." Luo Xian didn't seem to have read enough. He took the letter from Fu Qian and wanted to read it again.
Who would have expected that as soon as he got the letter, he would kick Fu Qian into the water.
"Wow!"
The Han River made a huge splash.
Fu Qian turned over instinctively, drawing an arc like white stripes in the waves.
Luo Xian, who was standing on the bow of the boat, laughed:
"Chengzhi, is this a dream?"
After the beginning of spring, although the weather became warmer, it was not summer after all, and the water was still a little chilly.
However, Fu Qian and Luo Xian often swim in winter, so they are not afraid of the chill in the water.
But seeing Fu Qian suddenly come up again after a while, he also started laughing.
The two had laughed enough. Fu Qian climbed out of the water and asked someone to bring dry clothes to change into. The two began to lie on the boat together in the sun.
The spring day is warm, and Hanzhong is much warmer than Guanzhong. The sun is shining on my body, which is quite comfortable.
"I have finally waited for this day."
"yes!"
"How many years?"
"It's been many years, right?"
"Many years."
"What do we do now?"
As soon as this sentence was asked, the two people turned their heads and looked at each other in tacit agreement.
Then they sat up at the same time.
Happiness comes too suddenly, but after the joy, huge pressure follows.
Fu Qian scratched his head:
"Sir, don't you have any plans?"
He just took a quick glance at it and hadn't finished reading it yet.
"No."
"No instructions?"
"Just telling us to be careful."
"that's all?"
"just this."
Silence again.
"Well, Lingze, tell me, sir, does he trust us too much?"
Luo Xian nodded and frowned: "Yes, this is no small matter, let alone letting us lead the army alone. We have no experience at all in this kind of marching and fighting."
"Experience..." Fu Qian was thoughtful when he heard Luo Xian's words, "When you say that, I think of a person. He seems to have experience."
When Luo Xian heard this, he immediately reacted.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go!"
------------------
It’s not just Luo Xian and Fu Qian who feel comfortable in the sun, Martin also feels very comfortable.
At this time, he was lying on a deck chair, half-lidded in his small courtyard.
There is a small stove next to him, with water boiling on it.
Next to the small stove, there is a small eucalyptus with tea cups and teapots on it.
Drinking spring tea, admiring the spring scenery, and basking in the spring sun, how pleasant it is!
But soon, someone unknowingly ruined Martin's leisurely mood.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma!"
There was a voice outside the courtyard door, and before the voice fell, two figures had already appeared at the door.
Ma Tian sighed and had to stand up. He looked at Luo Xian and Fu Qian, a little impatiently:
"You and the two of you are not training soldiers in the water village, so what are you doing here?"
"Mr. Ma, we have something to ask you."
The two young men seemed not to notice Ma Tian's expression at all. They found their own stools and sat down next to him, one on the left and one on the right. "I want to ask you something."
"It's an important thing."
"Yes, it is a very important thing."
Martin rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Say."
This man can't owe any favors, especially the kind of favors from heaven.
"Mr. Ma, tell me, if we lead the army down the river from Hanzhong and capture Shangyong, how do you think the army should arrange this first step?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you? Now, training good soldiers is your top priority."
"As for how to march and fight, set up battle formations before battle, capture cities and territories, and plot against enemies and temples, how many people in this world can compare to your husband?"
"After you have mastered the navy training, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to learn these things? I am afraid that you will not be able to learn..."
"Oh, no, Mr. Ma, our husband has written a letter, asking us to attack Shangyong independently. We have no experience, so we came here to ask for your advice and want you to help us."
Fu Qian was impatient and couldn't bear to hear Ma Tian's nagging, so he interrupted him.
Martin choked:...
The originally lazy posture suddenly sat upright and licked his ears:
"What did you say?"
"We are here to ask you for advice and want you to help us."
"No, it's the previous sentence."
"Sir, let us attack Shangyong independently."
"Feng Mingwen lets you attack Shangyong on your own?"
"right."
Luo Xian and Fu Qian nodded in unison.
silence.
Martin was silent for a long time, then stood up and continued to meditate.
Finally he murmured:
"Xiangyang belongs to Wu State now, right?"
"Mr. Ma, could it be that he was killed by Hutu? We helped the Wu people to capture Xiangyang."
Ma Tian made some calculations, so it was reasonable for the Wu people to take Shangyong after they obtained Xiangyang.
If you don't take it and leave it for the big man to take, it means that Feng must have reached some kind of deal with the Wu people.
And if the Wu people wanted to take it, Feng asked his disciples to take it...
Thinking of this, Martin shook his head, it probably wouldn't be the case.
Although Mr. Feng was cruel and ruthless, he would never harm his disciples without any reason.
After all, these two people really have no experience in front of the battle, let alone leading the army alone.
Over in Xiangyang, there is Lu Xun!
But it's hard to say, after all, I and others helped Lu Xun in Xiangyang, plus the Han-Wu Alliance.
In this case, even if the two of them were defeated, they would just treat it as practicing, and there would probably be no danger.
Thinking like this, Martin looked at the two of them.
The two of them also looked at Martin expectantly.
Ma Tian's heart suddenly "thumped" and his expression changed.
He slapped his thigh violently, turned towards Chang'an, and cursed:
"Feng Mingwen, you are asking me to be the nanny for your second son!"
