Chapter 46: Zhuge Ke goes to Chengdu as an envoy, Sun and Liu want to form an alliance again!
Just when Cao Shuang and the six generals who conquered Nan County gathered for a banquet at the Jingzhou County Governor's Mansion, the event of Sun Wu Nan County returning to Wei had already spread to Sun Wu, Shu and Han...
Bi Yan'er was actually arranging for Zhuge Ke to use a trick to fake surrender in Jingzhou but failed. When the 200,000 Soochow army was wiped out in Jingzhou, he had already expected this situation today. Soochow civil and military officials were not too shocked. In current terms,
There's a bit of a show-off in it.
As for the Shu Han, the monarchs and ministers of the Shu Kingdom were all shocked when they heard the news, and Adou Liu Chan also began to become nervous for the first time, as if he had a sense of crisis of national subjugation.
He no longer indulges in fun all day long and leaves all the government affairs to the general Fei Yi. Instead, he plans to convene the civil and military forces at the next court meeting to discuss the matter of the Wei army destroying 200,000 people from Soochow and conquering Nanjun.<
/p>
After all, as the state of Wei grows stronger day by day, the Sun and Liu families will become restless. The ambitions of the three families are all in this world. How can they allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed!
On the night when Cao Shuang had a banquet with all the officials, the Taiji Hall of Wuchang Palace in Jiangdong was also brightly lit, just like daytime, but of course it couldn't be the night banquet of a great victory.
If Cao Wei were defeated in this battle, it would be possible to laugh heartily in the Tai Chi Hall tonight, the civil and military officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty would drink freely, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras would continue. Unfortunately, without if, time would not be able to go back to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month... p>
Above the main hall of Soochow, Bi Yan'er sat high on the dragon chair, and said with a gloomy face: "Now that I, Soochow, have lost 200,000 new troops, and my entire army has been wiped out, what do you think I, Soochow, should do next, in order to keep me?"
Father and brother Jiangdong's foundation?"
Obviously Sun Quan still doesn't want to completely ruin it, but still wants to struggle and save it.
Just this morning, Bi Yan'er issued a punishment edict for the three main generals who faked their surrender. All three were demoted three levels in a row and fined one year's salary.
Quan Cong was demoted from Grand Sima on the right and military advisor on the left to General of Hussars, leading the army on the left.
Zhuge Ke was demoted from general to general of guard, and Ding Feng was also implicated, and was demoted from general to captain. It can be said that he was beaten to the end.
Sun Jun removed the position of Shizhong and retained the position of Captain of the Military Guard. Although this position was low-ranking and powerful, it could not be eliminated if it were further reduced. After much thought, Sun Quan could only directly remove his position of Shizhong.
position.
When he was young, Sun Jun showed his bravery, determination, shrewdness, and determination.
In Sun Quan's later years, Sun Jun was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Military Guard, and was appointed as the Attendant.
Regarding the first two official positions held by Sun Jun, the former was responsible for guarding the palace, and the latter was accompanying the emperor and making suggestions for the monarch.
Based on this, Sun Jun is undoubtedly deeply trusted by Sun Quan.
General Wei is a military officer position established during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to command the imperial army and control the guards in the capital. It is usually held by the emperor's cronies.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Wei had become a general who commanded troops in combat. His status was second only to the General, General of Hussars, and General of Chariots and Cavalry, ranking fourth among military positions.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the post of general was added to the Soochow official system, and the status of general Wei dropped to fifth place. However, his status in the court was still higher than that of Jiuqing and many generals.
Zhuge Ke stepped out and handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, I think we should send someone to contact the Shu Han as soon as possible. We, Soochow, lost 200,000 troops in the battle of Jingzhou, and our strength is already far weaker than that of Cao Wei.
If we don't form an alliance with the closely related Shu Han as soon as possible, the Sun and Liu families will be defeated by Cao's thieves in a short time, and it will be too late to regret it!"
Sun Quan said with some worry: "If Soochow Wu forms an alliance with Shu Han to fight against Cao Wei, will it attract Cao Wei's massive attack? By then, Soochow Wu may not be able to withstand the Wei army's invasion!" p>
Lu Dai, the general who led the right wing of Wuchang, said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, please feel free to form an alliance with the Shu Han. If the Wei army comes to attack our land east of Jiangdong, they will never come back!"
Sun Quan nodded. With General Lu Dai, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years and has made many military exploits, he can rest assured in guarding the foundation of Jiangdong.
Sun Quan pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder who among you can make a trip to Chengdu for me?"
Zhuge Ke came out of the queue and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is willing to go!"
Sun Quan said: "Yuan Xun is a suitable candidate for envoy. Before, your uncle Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. Although he has passed away now, his son Zhuge Zhan also inherited the title of Marquis of Wuxiang and took the Shu Han princess as his wife.
Yulin Zhonglangjiang, Shizhong,
There is still a great foundation of prestige in the Shu Han Dynasty, and if you go there, you can increase the chance of success in this matter!"
The candidate for Sun Quan's envoy to Shu Han has been decided. Sun Quan's old frown relaxed a little and said: "Zhuge Ke listens to the order. I order you to set off for Chengdu early tomorrow morning to discuss with Shu Han about forming an alliance to fight against Cao Cao. This trip will be yours."
We must promote an alliance between the two families!"
Zhuge Ke said: "The last general will take orders!"
Sun Quan thought for a while and said: "After arriving in Chengdu, you first go to see the great general of Shu, Deng Zhi, the Marquis of Yangwuting, who was responsible for the restoration of Sun and Liu after the Battle of Yiling. It was Zhuge Liang who sent him as an envoy to Soochow.
,
Then I will bring gifts to visit your cousin Zhuge Zhan, Grand Tutor Sima Yi, General, and Marquis of Chengxiang Fei Yi. If you convince these four people first, the matter of Wu and Shu's renewed alliance will be settled!" Sun Quan's thoughts just returned to the fourth year of Huangchu. At that time, he had not yet proclaimed himself emperor. In order to repair the rift caused by the Battle of Yiling between the two countries, he sent envoys to ask for peace. His brother-in-law Liu Bei also sent Song Wei and Fei Yi to wait for Wu to respond.
.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, was worried that Sun Quan's attitude would change after learning the news, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
At this time, Deng Zhi met Zhuge Liang and said: "The Lord (Liu Chan) is young and has not been in power for a long time. He should send envoys to re-establish good relations with Soochow."
Zhuge Liang replied: "I have been thinking for a long time and didn't know who to appoint, and now I have found it."
Deng Zhi asked who it was, and Zhuge Liang said, "You are the envoy!" So he sent Deng Zhi as envoy to Wu.
After Deng Zhi arrived, Sun Quan was really confused and did not meet Deng Zhi immediately. Deng Zhi went to see Sun Quan himself and said: "I am here for Wu State, not just for Shu Han."
Sun Quan then met him and said to Deng Zhi: "I sincerely wanted to make peace with the Shu Han, but I am afraid that the lord of Shu is young, the country is small and the situation is difficult. If Cao Wei takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, he will not be able to protect himself, so I feel very hesitant."<
/p>
Deng Zhi replied: "Wu and Shu jointly own the four states. Your Majesty, you are a world-famous hero, and Zhuge Liang is also a particularly outstanding talent in our time.
Shu has heavy dangers to hold on to, and Wu has three rivers to block it. Combining these two strengths, we can become a kingdom of lips and teeth. If we advance, we can jointly seize the world, and if we retreat, we can stand as a tripartite. This is the common sense of nature.
If the king wants to commit his life to Wei now, Wei will definitely ask the king to come to the court to pay homage, and at least ask the prince to go as a hostage. If you don't obey the order, there will be a reason to attack, and our country will definitely see the advantage and march along the river. In this way, the land of Jiangdong
It no longer belongs to the king."
He thought for a long time before saying: "What you said is very true!" He severed ties with Wei, made peace with Shu Han, and sent minister Zhang Wen to visit.
Now that the situation has reversed, it is his turn to lose troops and generals, so he also wants to send envoys to Chengdu to form an alliance. Although he won the battle of Yiling back then, he still had to send envoys to sue for peace. It is true that winning and losing are always changing, and the only thing that remains unchanged is
The matter of alliance.
Alas, if you want to blame, you can only blame Soochow as a weak country. After suffering such a defeat, they can only seek to form an alliance again to resist Sun Wu. It's just that I was the winner back then, but today I am the loser.<
/p>
When Zhuge Ke set off from Wuchang City as an envoy to Chengdu, in Yangcheng, Chengdu of the Shu Han Dynasty, in the meeting hall, the kings and ministers of the Shu Kingdom were also discussing the dangers of Cao Wei seizing Nanjun, destroying Soochow's 200,000 army, and the alliance with Wu to fight against Cao
