Lu Su's heart was the same as Ming Jing's. He naturally knew what it meant for Long Fei to confer the kingship on Sun Quan! When Long Fei conferred the title of king, Cao Cao and Ma Chao followed suit. Only Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan. He believed that Long Fei's conferment of the king was perfectly justified.
Even if Long Fei doesn't want to do this himself, the people around Liu Xie will do it too!
Long Fei can be said to have become a very popular minister beside Liu Xie. He made great achievements in unifying the Han Dynasty. He killed Dong Zhuo, destroyed Yuan Shao, and recaptured Jingzhou and Yizhou. In ancient times, which minister had the courage to turn the tide? Although the great Sima and the great general Huo Guang supported him,
Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, however, were considered the prosperous times of the Han Dynasty. The country was rich and the people were strong. Otherwise, the edifice of the Han Dynasty has decayed and may collapse at any time. If Long Fei had not maintained it, Emperor Xian would have died in Chang'an or Luoyang.
Long Fei was crowned the king, and the world returned to its heart. Especially the people in Jingzhou and Yizhou celebrated with singing and dancing. On the contrary, why should other princes be crowned king? Cao Cao controlled the Central Plains, Hebei Jiuzhou, and the territory was vast. To put it bluntly, it was just a freeing of the princes.
, and even more so, the rebellion of the imperial court. There is also that Ma Chao, who only occupied a small area of Hanzhong and then flaunted his power and proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong, and was not afraid of the ridicule of the world.
Sun Quan held the imperial edict and looked at Lu Su: "Brother Zijing, why are you unhappy today? You are crowned king today. You are also the governor of Wu County, so you are very happy!"
Lu Su sighed: "Hey! Lord, Long Fei did this just to block our mouths and prevent us from moving forward. He just wanted to give us some benefits and make us feel more at ease. From my subordinates' point of view, this
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want the throne.”
Sun Quan smiled: "Why don't I know? But has Zijing ever thought about it? If we don't accept this imperial edict, then Long Fei will have a reason to send troops. Gan Ning's navy is swimming in the Yangtze River. If he wants to attack Jianye
You can do it at any time! We are now just like Long Fei's vassal country, which has long lost its glory in the past!" Sun Quan shed tears as he spoke: "I think back then my father and brother sacrificed their blood for Jiangdong, but in my hands, we will never be able to do it.
If you lose even an inch of land, how can you face the spirit of your father and brother in heaven?"
Everyone covered their faces and sobbed, and the whole court was filled with wailing sounds. Zhang Zhao quickly said: "My lord, my condolences, don't break your body from crying. Now Cao Cao has the intention to attack Long Fei again, we can sit on the mountain
Watching the tiger fight, please bear with me for the time being. If there is a chance, it will not be difficult to restore the glory of Jiangdong!"
Speaking of Cao Cao, he has been renovating one after another in recent years. Especially in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sizhou counties close to Longfei, people fled almost every day and entered places controlled by Longfei. Local officials tried to stop them, but the result was
Not big. Many places have become desolate and empty cities. Several counties and even the county magistrates have defected to Long Fei and invited Long Fei's troops to garrison. The current situation is that Long Fei's Wancheng garrison,
It has been annexed to Yingchuan City, and both sides can see Yingchuan City.
In addition to these, the four prefectures of Hebei Province have been harassed by the Xianbei people for a long time. The locust plague in Bingzhou, the drought in Jizhou, and the flood in Qingzhou have never stopped for a moment. The counselors under my command have tried their best, but they have never been able to keep up with the changes in the situation.
Soon the Yellow River burst, flooding Qingzhou and most of Yanzhou. In order to combat these disasters, Cao Cao wanted to dispatch grain and grass from Xuzhou. However, he ran into Zang Ba.
After Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, he reached an agreement with Zang Ba. Zang Ba managed Xuzhou independently and obeyed orders but not propaganda. Cao Cao was not allowed to interfere with Xuzhou's internal affairs. Now that Hebei has been suffering from disasters for many years, Xuzhou has turned a blind eye, which made Cao Cao very angry. But he also
Unable to attack, if Zang Ba surrenders to Long Fei in a desperate situation, the loss to himself will be huge.
In addition to these, there is also the most troublesome thing for Cao Cao, which is the Xiliang problem. Han Sui, Ma Chao's uncle and nephew have always been eyeing Chang'an. Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao when he attacked Chang'an. The two families formed a deep hatred.
If you want to use troops, you must deal with Xiliang's affairs first. If you don't have any worries, you can focus on fighting Long Fei.
Various things were intertwined, and Dong Zhao came up with a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He asked Cao Cao to encourage Ma Chao to attack Yizhou, and asked Long Fei to fight with Ma Chao, leaving himself some time to deal with his own internal affairs. Cheng Yu tried his best to
Objected, Cheng Yu believed that Long Fei had long wanted to capture Hanzhong and Xiliang, so half of the Han Dynasty would be in his hands. What's more, with Xiliang, Long Fei would have a war horse base, and the cavalry was the most powerful.
Yes, if Long Fei is allowed to take Xiliang, no one in the world can stop him.
Dong Zhao said with a smile: "Master Cheng is overly concerned. Ma Chao is known as the God General of Xiliang, and Han Sui is even more wily. If these two people can share the same hatred, it won't be a problem to hold Long Fei back for a year. By then we will have made arrangements."
After all, if we take the opportunity to send troops to Jingzhou, Sun Quan will definitely not be willing to be lonely. If he processes it three times, even if Long Fei has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to save himself!"
"Don't underestimate Long Fei. The 60,000 Long Army captured Yizhou and surrendered the Southern Barbarians in just half a year! I dare to ask, besides Long Fei, who else in the world has such a talent?" Cheng Yu argued with reason. He is Cao Cao.
Old man, we must not watch Cao Cao take risks.
Of course Cao Pi was on Dong Zhao's side. He hurriedly said: "Father, this is the only way now. If we don't do this, Long Fei suddenly attacks, and we may not be able to sustain internal and external troubles!"
Everyone was discussing that the Yangzhou Governor sent a horse to deliver the news, saying that Long Fei's envoy Jiang Gan had set off from Jianye and was heading towards Yecheng. With the emperor's imperial edict, they could not stop him. The Yangzhou Governor's messenger had just left.
, the messengers from the Qingzhou Governor and the Yanzhou Governor came one after another. Everyone did not understand the key and looked at Cao Cao one by one. Only Cao Zhi stood aside and smiled slightly.
Cao Cao felt strange and asked, "Does my son know Long Fei's purpose?"
Cao Zhi nodded. Cao Cao asked him to talk. Cao Zhi cleared his throat: "Long Fei is here to appease his father. If his guess is correct, the imperial edict in Jiang Gan's hands should be the edict officially canonizing his father as King of Wei!"
"
Dong Zhao nodded and gave Cao Pi a wink. Cao Pi said hurriedly: "Father, this just means that Long Fei is planning to attack Ma Chao. We will do what he wishes. In addition to the troubles in Xiliang, we can also make father's throne legitimate.
"
Ma Chao was left alone and helpless. After Jiang Ji left, Ma Chao asked Han Sui for help, but Han Sui did not express his position, which made Ma Chao very angry. He also heard that Long Fei sent envoys to Jiangdong and Yecheng, and granted Sun Quan the title of King of Wu.
Cao Cao was killed by King Wei, but he had no share of his own. This made Ma Chao even more unhappy. He slapped the table and scolded Long Fei severely. If Ma Dai and Pang hadn't persuaded him, Ma Chao would have immediately led his troops into Yi.
state.
Ma Dai said: "Brother, this is clearly Long Fei who wants to attack us and use the throne to hold back Sun Quan and Cao Cao. The two of them receiving the imperial edict means that they have been persuaded by Long Fei. It may be difficult for us to attack Yizhou with our current troops.
Brother, please think twice before sending troops!"
Ma Chao said angrily: "Long Fei bullies people too much. Sun Quan and Cao Cao can be kings, why can't I? Since he won't give it to me, I will compete with him to see who is more worthy of being king!"
"Brother, this throne is just a title. The princes in the world value strength, not these false names!" Ma Dai pointed to the north: "Look at Han Sui, who dominates Xiliang with a hundred thousand troops. How can he dominate Xiliang?"
Have you ever fought for this throne? What matters is strength, not face! We are now short of troops, not to mention Long Fei, I am afraid that even the youngest Sun Quan would not dare to offend, and the eldest brother is angry about a fictitious King of Hanzhong. Is it possible that the eldest brother still
not understand?"
"What don't I understand? This is because Long Fei looks down on me and our Ma family!" Ma Chao became even more angry: "Capture his Yizhou and see what else Long Fei can say."
"Brother, wait a minute!" A woman in military uniform walked out from the back tent. This woman has a hot figure and beautiful appearance, especially her tall and straight nose, which makes her look like a mixed-race beauty. The woman is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen.
Years old. Behind him is a woman in military uniform, who is equally dazzling. This woman is Ma Teng's youngest daughter, named Ma Yunlu. She has practiced martial arts and calligraphy with several brothers since she was a child, and she is not at all weak like ordinary women.
Ma Yunlu is not only good-looking, but also good at martial arts. Apart from Ma Chao, he has almost no rivals in the Ma family. A spear is as good as any other man. Han Sui once asked Ma Teng to marry him, hoping to marry Ma Yunlu.
After Ma Yunlu found out, she killed Han Sui's nephew. From then on, no one paid attention to her, so she was still a big girl until she was eighteen years old.
Seeing his sister, Ma Chao felt helpless: "Why are you here again! A girl's appearance in public makes people laugh!"
"Brother, let's not talk about this. I think Brother Ma Dai is right this time! We know clearly that Long Fei is going to attack us, why don't we wait for work, but run to die?" Ma Yunlu looked at Ma Chao: "There is a jia in Hanzhong."
Meng Pass, Jiange natural dangers, Yangping Pass and the dangerous areas of Xiliang we are familiar with, but you gave up these and rushed into Yizhou is really the stupidest trick."
Ma Chao's face turned red after being told by Ma Yunlu, but there was nothing he could do about his sister. His father loved this daughter the most during his lifetime, and his brothers also loved their sister. Even now, they still love and care for this youngest sister. Ma Dai hurriedly
To smooth things over for Ma Chao: "Sister Lu has misunderstood. Big brother and we are just discussing and have not officially sent out troops yet!"
"What misunderstanding? I heard it clearly!" Ma Yunlu said unwillingly: "Now you all listen to me. Brother Ma Dai will return to Jiameng Pass immediately, and General Pang De will return to Jiange immediately. They are all guarded by me. As long as Long Long
Fei came over and beat me hard! Remember, don’t fight forcefully, you won’t hesitate to burn down the sword pavilion if you can’t!”
Ma Dai and Pang De looked at each other in confusion, and at the same time looked at Ma Chao. Ma Chao waved his hand to signal them to go down first. The two people left the tent, and Ma Yunlu scolded Ma Chao from behind. Pang De glanced at Ma Dai and said, "Ma Chao
General, what should we do? Should we assemble our troops and prepare to attack Yizhou?"
Ma Dai smiled: "What do you think? It would be best for us to follow Sister Lu's words!"
