Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 51: Zhuge Ke persuaded the fourth minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, Xin Sun, and Liu Alliance to rise again with his unshakable tongue!
Chapter 51: Zhuge Ke persuaded the fourth minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, Xin Sun, and Liu Alliance to rise again with his unshakable tongue!
Zhuge Ke led his troops for more than a month, and finally arrived in Chengdu in the sweltering heat at the end of June. Unlike the humidity and heat in Jiangdong, Chengdu, located in the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin, was sultry...
After Zhuge Ke and his entourage entered the capital of Shu, they did not go to the post house to rest. Instead, they went directly to the mansion of Deng Zhi, the general of the Shu Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Yangwuting, to pay a heavy courtesy visit.
Deng Zhi has an upright and simple character, and does not deliberately modify her emotions.
He has been a general for more than 20 years, making clear decisions on rewards and punishments, and caring for the soldiers.
His food and clothing came from the government, and he never ran any private property. His wife and children even suffered from hunger. Ever since he went to Soochow twice, Sun Quan admired him very much.
He exchanged greetings with Deng Zhi many times and gave Deng Zhi generous gifts, which enabled him and his family to live quite a prosperous life without having to let his family suffer from hunger like before he became famous as an envoy to Soochow.
No, this year's "generous gift" had obviously been delivered in the first month, but this time it was hoped that he, an important minister of the Shu Kingdom, would be his grandson, and that the Wu family would once again form an alliance to fight against Cao Cao.
Soochow Wu persuaded Sun Quan to form an alliance, and persuaded the Shu Han emperor and important ministers to form an alliance smoothly again.
Deng Zhi was predicted to become a general in his early years. Later, he was appointed as Pi Ling by Liu Bei and promoted to the prefect of Guanghan.
Because he was an honest official and had great achievements in governance, he was conscripted into the court as minister.
After the death of Emperor Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, he was ordered to go to Wu as an envoy and successfully repaired the relationship between the two countries, which was deeply appreciated by Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu.
In the second year of Wei Taihe (228), Prime Minister Zhuge Liang planned the Northern Expedition and ordered Deng Zhi and General Zhao Yun to pretend to attack Yicheng to attract the main force of Wei Cao's true army.
In the second year of Wei Qinglong's reign (234), he moved to be a former military advisor and a former general, led the governor of Yanzhou, was granted the title of Marquis of Wuting in Yangzhou, and soon took charge of Jiangzhou.
In the fourth year of Wei Zhengshi's reign (243), he was promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry, and later granted the title of "Jie Jie". He also led his army to put down the Fuling rebellion.
It can be said that he has made outstanding contributions to the Shu Han. With such an important minister to join forces with Shu to resist Wei, it will be twice the result with half the effort. If several other important ministers are invited to participate, the alliance will definitely be successful.
This time Sun Quan also spent a lot of money and took out dozens of luminous pearls as big as a bowl in the South China Sea and ten thousand taels of gold that he asked the Dan people to collect after he captured Yazhou.
There were also some treasures dug out from tombs by Sun Quan's warriors at Xiling. Two of them were given to Deng Zhi first, and the rest were given to General Fei Yi, Grand Tutor Sima Yi, and cousin Zhuge Zhan. Finally, they were divided into large pieces and given to each other.
Adou, Emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Ke sent someone to open the door of the slightly shabby Yangtinghou Mansion. Deng Cheng, the steward of the mansion, opened the door and saw that he was a visitor from Soochow, and he also brought many gifts.
Then he smiled and said: "It turns out that we are guests from Soochow. Please wait outside the door for a moment, and I will report to my master right now!"
After the steward Deng Cheng finished speaking, he hurried to the mansion to report to the master. As soon as he returned to the inner courtyard, he remembered that there was something he had not asked, so he turned around and said with a smile on his face: "Dear guests, I haven't asked who Soochow is.
Please let me know that a distinguished guest is coming, so that I can report to my master to welcome you."
Zhuge Ke smiled and said: "I am General Dongwu Wei. I am on an envoy to Chengdu this time. By the way, I have been ordered by your Majesty to visit General Bo Miao."
The steward smiled and said: "General Zhuge, wait a moment, I will come back as soon as I go!" He thought to himself that this year is really a good year. Lord Wu actually misses my master so much that he sent people to send generous gifts twice.
The servants in the mansion can also have a prosperous new year...
The steward entered the meeting hall and reported the visit of the Soochow envoy Zhuge Ke. Deng Zhi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I predict that the Lord of Wu will ask Zhuge Ke to come and ask me to come forward this time.
Be a lobbyist and persuade your majesty to use civil and military forces to facilitate the alliance with Wu again. After all, Cao Shuang won a great victory in Jingzhou this time.
The kings and ministers of Shu were all afraid of the attack of Cao Wei's army. They were afraid that Cao Wei would attack again with a large army. For a while, the alliance with Sun Wu was not discussed and the result was not reached. Although Han and thieves are not at odds with each other,
However, it does not affect Shu Han's passive avoidance of war and sit back and watch Sun Wu's destruction. When the time comes, our lips will be dead and our teeth will be cold. How can our Shu Han survive for a long time? Even if the Lord Wu does not come to invite you this time, I will definitely tell you frankly that your majesty will let Shu Han and Soochow
The alliance is achieved!"
Deng Zhi said again: "Since Lord Wu has sent someone to invite XX, XX is going out of the house to welcome all distinguished guests into the house. Butler, please come with me to welcome them!"
Deng Zhi came out of the Ying Mansion and said with a smile: "General Yuan Xun was sent to Chengdu as an envoy by Lord Wu. He should send someone to inform so-and-so in advance so that so-and-so can go out of the city to welcome him!" Deng Zhi said and helped Zhuge Ke in.
Fuzhong.
Deng Zhi led Sun Wu's envoy into the palace and sat down in the meeting hall. Deng Zhi smiled and said: "Steward, please quickly have someone serve tea to all distinguished guests from Soochow."
After everyone sat down for a while, the housekeeper led the maid in the mansion to serve tea, asked the maid to step back, and then stood aside.
Zhuge Ke took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "General Bo Miao, this time my Majesty sent me as an envoy to Chengdu. I have been specially ordered to come to the general for advice after arriving in Chengdu. He also asked me to bring some small gifts to express my feelings.
”
Deng Zhi stroked his white beard and smiled: "I already know Lord Wu's intention to ask you to visit me. Even if Lord Wu doesn't specifically ask you to come to my house, I will definitely advise His Majesty and do my best.
Yes, gifts and so on are just out of sight."
Zhuge Ke smiled and said: "This is my Majesty's wish. General, there is no need to refuse!"
Deng Zhi originally wanted to keep Zhuge Ke and others in the mansion for lunch, but envoy Sun Wu had important matters to attend to. After having a few cups of tea, he asked people to put down the gifts and left in a hurry.
Deng Zhi said with a smile: "Ahem, cough, cough, since all of you distinguished guests still have important matters, I won't force you to stay. It won't be too late to come and get together at my house after you have finished your business!"
Zhuge Ke led others to visit Zhuge Zhan at the Marquis Mansion in Wuxiang and explained his intention. Zhuge Zhan immediately agreed to be the lobbyist for Soochow. Although he was not yet the top minister in Shu Han at this time,
p>
However, with his status as the son of Prime Minister Zhuge and the consort of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Chan can also be regarded as his sworn brother, and he can still play a big role in the alliance between Sun and Liu in the court.
After sending the gifts, Zhuge Ke had no time to express his feelings for his cousins, so he led everyone to the house of the general Fei Yi, the Marquis of Chengxiang, to explain his intention and present the gifts.

I hope he can say a few words about the alliance between Sun and Liu again. After all, although he does not have the name of Prime Minister of Shu Han at this moment, he has the actual status of Prime Minister of Shu Han. Such a major event as the alliance between the two cannot avoid him.
However, it was not so smooth to persuade Fei Yi's house. After all, before the Northern Expedition, he was highly regarded by Zhuge Liang and sent many envoys to Soochow.
After arriving in Soochow, Sun Quan, Zhuge Ke, Yang Tao and others used rhetoric to make things difficult for him. Fei Yi answered with reason, both rhetoric and meaning, and never gave in. In the end, Sun Quan was very surprised by his talent, so he treated him politely.
.
With such old grievances still lingering, it would take a lot of effort to persuade Fei Yi.
Zhuge Ke took a sip of tea and said: "General, this alliance is of great benefit to both our families. I know very well that the general does not want to continue fighting with the Wei army and just wants to rest and recuperate first.
However, if the general does not form an alliance with Soochow, if we, Soochow, are destroyed, Cao Wei will be able to use all the strength of the country to attack Wei with confidence. How can the general recuperate by then?
I'm afraid that the Shu Han will no longer exist! The general does not agree to form an alliance with me at Soochow at this time, and I'm afraid that there will be no one to form an alliance with!"
Fei Yi was so shocked by what Zhuge Ke said that he broke into a cold sweat and suddenly realized: "What the general said is absolutely true.
I almost missed my Shu Han! As Lord Wu requested, I will accept it. As for the others, it’s up to you to figure it out!"
Zhuge Ke asked people to send gifts again. It was already noon, so he couldn't refuse anymore. He had lunch at Fei Yi's place. In the afternoon, he went to Taifu Sima Yi's place to talk about the alliance with him and gave him generous gifts. p>
Sima Yi had just rebelled against the Wei State and was defeated. He was already at odds with the Wei State. After all, except for those in Chengdu, all the men in the Sima family had been killed by Cao Shuang at the execution ground in Beimang.
As soon as Zhuge Ke explained his purpose of coming, he also gave Sima Yi the money he desperately needed to raise dead soldiers. The old thief Sima readily agreed. After all, he still wanted to find an opportunity to expedition to the north, revive the Han Dynasty, kill Cao Shuang, and avenge the Sima family.<
/p>
At this point, all the important ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty were convinced, and they would meet with the Emperor of Shu tomorrow to reach a new grandson. The Liu Alliance just followed the trend and agreed on the alliance without much resistance...
