Chapter 1,162 The Ascension to the King of Hanzhong
Jiangdong, Wujun, Yangzhou Prefectural Mufu.
Lu Su and Zhang Zhao visited Sun Ce together.
Lu Su said: "My lord, now there are two news coming from Jingzhou. The first one is that the two generals Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng are not dead yet, but have been captured. Yizhou Mu Lingfeng wants us to give 100,000 bottles of solid
Yuan Dan redeems people."
After hearing this, Sun Ce's expression turned gloomy. It wasn't that he didn't want to save people, but that he simply couldn't produce so many Yuan-Guiding Pills.
Immediately, Lu Su said: "My lord, this is Ling Feng's trick. He deliberately offered this price because he didn't want us to redeem people, and then spread it everywhere to make our soldiers alienate. We from Jiangdong can send envoys to negotiate with them, no matter whether it is possible or not.
When redeeming people, we must show our sincerity. When the officers and men under our command see this, they will definitely understand."
Sun Ce listened and nodded. Lu Su's response method was good, and it could at least eliminate most of the negative effects. Immediately, he asked: "What is the second news?"
Lu Su pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhao next to him.
Zhang Zhao looked serious, then he raised his hands and said: "My lord, now Ling Feng has raised five million troops from Changsha, including 300,000 Dao soldiers, Shura Blood Guards, to invade Yuzhang Dao, threatening to take revenge and destroy Jiangdong. Unless we will
Only when Xiao Qiao is sent to Jingzhou can the war be settled."
When Sun Ce heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and a terrifying and powerful aura erupted from his body, and then he said in a deep voice: "The thief has insulted me too much. This battle will not end until we die!"
Lu Su's expression suddenly changed and he advised: "My lord, you must not do this!"
Zhang Zhao also advised: "My lord, our strength in Jiangdong is greatly damaged now. If we fight with him, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory and our strength will drop to the ice valley. At that time, will the major families in Jiangdong still be willing to let the lord be safe?"
Sitting in a high position? A man who endures a momentary humiliation and achieves eternal achievements will only be praised by people in the current and future generations. In ancient times, there was Han Xin. Only when he could endure the humiliation of his crotch could he be granted the title of marquis and prime minister. Who dares to laugh at him?
"
After hearing this, Sun Ce finally calmed down temporarily and asked, "What good advice does Zibu have?"
Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Ling thief's plan is vicious. Even if the lord is willing to tolerate it and agrees to send Xiao Qiao there, he will definitely spread it everywhere. The lord doesn't care about brotherhood. As soon as Gong Jin died, his wife was taken away by the lord.
Coming to give him away will definitely damage the lord’s reputation!”
Lu Su said: "That's right! It is said that the person who ties the bell needs to be tied to untie the bell. Only Xiao Qiao can solve this problem for the Lord!"
Sun Ce looked a little puzzled after hearing this.
Lu Su and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, and immediately conveyed the plan to him via spiritual voice.
After hearing this, Sun Ce looked a little hesitant. He pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay!"
In the afternoon, Ling Feng summoned Yangzhou civil and military officials and generals to discuss matters. He said loudly: "There are two major events now. I believe you have heard about them. The first one is that two generals, Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng, were captured. The two generals
He is working for me, Jiangdong, so he has to save him, but even the pastor of this state cannot produce so many Yuan-Guarding Pills. Who is willing to go to Jingzhou as an envoy to negotiate with Ling Feng and strive for a suitable condition to redeem him."
Going on a mission to Jingzhou is obviously risky, so everyone is hesitant.
At this time, Lu Su came out and the archer said: "My lord, Su is willing to go!"
After hearing this, Sun Ce said: "Okay, Zijing, I'll leave this matter to you. There's just one more thing. Ling Feng raised an army of five million to invade Yuzhang Road, threatening to send Xiao Qiao to Jingzhou to quell the war.
. If she were my daughter, she would definitely not hesitate to keep the two of us safe. But Xiao Qiao is Gong Jin’s wife, and Gong Jin sacrificed his life for me. How could I sacrifice his wife? What advice do you have?"
Gu Yong immediately clasped his fists and said: "My lord, our strength in Jiangdong is greatly damaged now, and Ling Feng holds Yizhou and Jingzhou and is strong. If we fight, our army's chances of winning are slim. How can we miss important national events because of a woman?"
Zhu Heng also advised: "My lord, the only plan now is to seek stability. You can ask Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Dong Zhuo for help, and Chen Bing borders the border to contain Jingzhou's troops. I believe they don't want to see Ling Feng's power become stronger! In addition, Xiao
Qiao can also show her great righteousness and let her decide whether to go to Jingzhou."
At this time, a pretty figure suddenly entered the hall and said: "Brother-in-law, for the sake of the people of Jiangdong, it is not important for Xiao Qiao to be innocent. I am willing to go to Jingzhou!"
When everyone heard the words and looked around, they saw a woman with a peerless appearance in a green shirt standing in the main hall. There was firmness on her beautiful face, and they all admired her in their hearts.
Sun Ce still refused. At this time, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Zhu Heng and others repeatedly persuaded him, and Xiao Qiao threatened to die. He finally reluctantly agreed, but sent several female generals to protect Xiao Qiao and gave him a gift.
A large number of gold and silver jewelry and silk cloth.
Although Sun Ce finally sent Xiao Qiao over, it was Xiao Qiao who was forced to die, and many important civil and military ministers persuaded him, so it became a good story. In ancient times, Zhaojun went out to the fortress, but now Xiao Qiao sacrifices himself to save the country.
People in Jiangdong. This will not damage Sun Ce's reputation at all.
Under the propaganda of Jiangdong's wealthy family, the story of Xiao Qiao sacrificing himself to save Jiangdong has become a hot topic.
Ling Feng also heard the news and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. However, even though most of his two strategies were resolved by Sun Ce, he did not feel any loss. Instead, he had an excited fighting spirit.
.With his occupation of Jingzhou and Yizhou, the world has already occupied one of the three areas. As long as he accumulates a few more years, he can naturally sweep Jiangdong with his absolute strength!
Immediately, he summoned many counselors to discuss countermeasures.
Kuai Liang said: "Since Sun Ce has sent an envoy to negotiate, we can negotiate with him and reduce the price of the redemption by half, which only requires 50,000 bottles of Gu Yuan Dan. If he refuses to redeem the person, we can spread the word everywhere.
He is mean and ungrateful, which ruins his reputation. If he agrees, we can also train more than 100,000 Taoist soldiers to be used to conquer Jiangdong in the future."
Ling Feng listened, nodded and looked at the others.
Huang Quan said: "This is feasible, but it is Xiao Qiao's matter, so we need to be careful. Since Sun Ce has sent Xiao Qiao, we can naturally retreat. But this woman's heart is towards Jiangdong. If the lord accepts her, we need to be careful about her poisoning and stealing information.
.”
Ling Feng nodded and said: "Yes, if Xiao Qiao comes, we will first find a place for her to live and put her under house arrest."
At this time, Kuai Yue said: "This is all a trivial matter. If the name is not correct, then the words are not correct. Ruling Jingzhou in the name of Yizhou Mu will not be recognized by the people and the family. Now the Lord owns Jingzhou and Yizhou, and there are three states in the world.
With one part in hand, I will ascend to the throne and become the king, and establish a government!"
Ling Feng also nodded and said: "I also have this intention, but the king needs to think about it carefully. Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhang Song said: "My lord owns Jingzhou and Yizhou, so he can be called the King of Chu or the King of Shu."
Huang Quan objected: "No, these two king titles are too heavy and have the intention of rebellion. Even Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others have not been crowned kings, how can we be the target of public criticism? It is better to be called the King of Hanzhong and command Jingzhou and Yizhou.
The land is enough!”
Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Fazhen, Yi Ji and others all nodded after hearing this.
Ling Feng had a strange look on his face after hearing this. He remembered that according to the original historical trajectory, Yizhou belonged to Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong was also Liu Bei's title, and Wu Yi's sister also married Liu Bei, but now it all fell on him.
If Liu Bei had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he would probably have passed out crying in the toilet by now. To explain from the flow of luck, Ling Feng took away the great luck that should have belonged to Liu Bei, so a series of opportunities that belonged to him may have fallen on him.
superior.
Immediately, he gathered his thoughts and nodded: "Okay, let Gong Heng (Huang Quan) arrange these matters!"
