Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 59: Wu’s envoy earnestly persuaded Cao Shuang to defect to Wu, Sun Quan’s secret move!
Chapter 59: Wu’s envoy earnestly persuaded Cao Shuang to defect to Wu, Sun Quan’s secret move!
Cao Shuang sneered and said: "Your Majesty asked me to go to Jianye and join him if I don't do well as a general in the Wei Dynasty.
He wants to confer on me the positions of Governor of Soochow and Prime Minister, and he also says that in a hundred years he will pass on Jiangdong's foundation to me, which is really "good" for me as his son-in-law!"
He Shao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty told me personally before I left that as long as the general comes to Jiangdong, the world will be in the hands of my majesty and the general.
There is also a secret letter stamped with the Jade Seal of Dongwu here, can this still be fake?"
Cao Shuang said: "Why do I think there is a knife hidden in this that can kill without blood?"
Ding Feng said with a smile: "The general is overly concerned. How could my Majesty make a show of something so important as the Governor of Soochow, the Prime Minister, or even Jiangdong's foundation!"
He Shao said: "General, my Majesty really wants you to go to Jianye and achieve great things with him! If you continue to stay in Wei,
As the little emperor grows up day by day, he will probably be disgusted with your excessive interference in political affairs, and may even look for opportunities to get rid of you!"
Cao Shuang said calmly: "I'm not worried about this. After all, I'm still your Majesty's own. Your Majesty will still trust me more than outsiders."
Cao Shuang thought to himself, now that Emperor Cao Wei is in his palm, does he still care whether he is the prime minister or not? As long as he thinks about it,
I can also immediately make myself a prime minister, a king or anything else. If I really go to Soochow,
Wouldn't it mean that even life and death are in the hands of the cheap father-in-law who is trying to make a big pie? It is better to serve as an official in the Wei Dynasty, where the future will be more comfortable, and you can be your own master anyway.
He Shao said: "General, I know that your father, Cao Zidan, whose real name is Qin Zhen, is not Cao Cao's biological son. He was adopted by Cao Cao after losing his father at a young age and changed his surname to Cao. To Cao's family, you are just an outsider, not your own.
People of the sect!"
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Does it mean that if I vote for Soochow, I will become one of Lord Wu's own?"
Ding Feng cupped his hands and said: "Don't you, the general, know the value of a son-in-law? With the general's ability and means, after Tao Lue reaches Soochow, my majesty will definitely pay more attention to you than the little emperor of Cao Wei!"
Cao Shuang said: "Half a son? Isn't that similar to my father's status under Emperor Wu? So what's the difference? It's more comfortable for me to stay in the Wei Dynasty!"
He Shao said hurriedly: "General, you must not think like this. My Majesty told me personally before leaving that as long as the general is willing to surrender to Soochow, the eldest princess will be your Majesty's daughter.
The general is just like your majesty's biological son, so there is nothing to worry about. What's more, he has already made plans to establish another prince. After the death of your majesty's first prince,
The Nanlu Party Conflict in Soochow has been going on for many years. The general must have heard about this. After all, the general also controls the Wei Dynasty's guest agency, the School Affairs Office.
But what the general doesn't know is that my Majesty already hates the Nanlu faction. After learning that the general is in love with my parents and princess, His Majesty decided to leave the crown prince's position to the general.
From the battles for Jiangbei, he already knew the ambition of the general, and knew that the power of this three-thirds of the world would most likely be ended in the hands of the general.
Knowing that the general is the most suitable candidate for the position of Prince of Soochow, and asking the general to think about the common people in the world, just vote for Soochow!"
Cao Shuang said with a troubled expression: "But no matter what, my surname is Cao after all, not Sun! I accept my father-in-law's kindness, but I can never be abandoned by the Wei Dynasty.
After you return to Jianye in a few days, tell your father-in-law for me that when I go to Jiangdong in the future, I will definitely think of the friendship between Dahu and Lord Wu, and I will ensure that the Sun family is safe and carefree.
The rich man’s!”
Ding Feng cupped his hands and said: "General, please think twice. If you vote for me in Soochow, we, the civil and military officials of Soochow, will fully support the general in ascending to the throne and inherit the foundation of Soochow a hundred years from now!"
Cao Shuang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to think about it. I have made my decision. Let the two envoys reply to my father-in-law like this!"
He Shao pretended to be regretful and said: "Then we will leave first and won't disturb the general, but the general please think again.
We welcome the general to come to Soochow at any time. If the general changes his mind, he can call us to discuss the matter of joining Soochow at any time. Of course, after we return to Jianye,
If the general wants to come to Soochow, he only needs to send people across the river to inform the generals and officials anywhere in the east of the river. When my Majesty finds out, he will definitely lead the Soochow Navy to come to the north of the Yangtze River to welcome the general back to Soochow!"<
/p>
Cao Shuang said: "Two envoys, I see that the night is already dark, so you should go back to the post house to rest first. If there is anything else, we will discuss it tomorrow!"
He Shao and Ding Feng looked at each other and thought to themselves, Cao Shuang is no longer the political novice he was before the Gao Pingling Incident.
It can be said that a needle cannot penetrate and water cannot penetrate. It is really difficult to handle easily. But fortunately, your majesty does not really want him to join Soochow. He just wants to use this to alienate the monarchs of Cao and Wei.
After the two people left the governor's house, they went to a hidden place in the darkness. He Shao said: "Chengyuan, please help me. You will secretly contact Cao Shuang tonight with the envoys of Soochow. The Lord of Wu also gave him a secret letter.
As long as he surrendered, the news that he would be granted the title of prime minister, governor, and crown prince of Soochow was sent to the people of Jiefan Camp in Jingzhou.
Let them send a group of troops to dress up as a caravan and go to Luoyang to join forces with the Luoyang Jiefan camp troops.
If this news is spread among the Wei Dynasty and the public, and the young emperor and Cao Shuang start a fight, then His Majesty will regain the lost territory in Jiangbei in the future, and even unite the world, and the internal strife of the Wei Dynasty will give him a better chance of winning!"
Ding Fengdao: "Let's do it now!"
He Shao warned: Chengyuan must remember to act covertly and not let people in the school affairs office notice it. If the news leaks out, Cao Shuang will be on guard!"
Ding Fengdao: "Don't worry, Zhonglang, I will definitely handle this matter without anyone noticing!"
The next day, Lord Wu sent a secret letter to Cao Shuang, a high-ranking official, and the news of Jiangdong's foundation was spread to Luoyang with a caravan heading to Luoyang. As time went by, and Cao Shuang's great achievements in pacifying the five counties of Dongwu in the north of Jiangbei were fermented, the gap between Cao Wei and his ministers increased day by day... In Jingzhou, they are preparing for the wedding of Cao Shuang and Sun Luban, and Jiangdong also hopes that they will get married in Jingzhou and then return to Luoyang.
Lord Wu made such a request so that the alienation plan in Luoyang could be implemented smoothly without Cao Shuang's interference.
But Sun Quan forgot one truth. No matter where the gun is, military power is the real last word. Some conspiracy and tricks are just chickens and dogs in the face of absolute strength. They can be shattered with just one blow...
