Wang Mang, who killed her son, was willing to share the sixteen counties of Longzhou with the Emperor of Heaven, but she, Queen Zhou, was not willing.
Because this Longzhou is what their Xiangbei Army lost their lives in exchange for being far away from their hometown.
Therefore, the emperor has no reason to sit back and enjoy the success.
"Brother doesn't plan to return to Longshang, so we will give up Longshang to Yuzhou Shepherd Liu Yu?"
"It's not a concession, it's a gift!" But after hearing Queen Zhou's question, Zhou Zha also said something shocking.
"Send it off? Brother, are you confused? Liu Yusu's disobedience to the imperial court's order has already been made clear. Now my brother is sending it to Longshang. I think he is really confused."
"Madam, what you said is wrong!" But after hearing what Queen Zhou said, Wang Shun shook his head and said: "The general has ruled Longshang for three years, how can he not know the importance of Longshang? It is precisely because he knew that he gave it away."
Queen Zhou couldn't understand Wang Shun's words even more.
Longshang is the gateway to the south of Longzhou. Once this gateway is opened, can the always ambitious Liu Yu not seize this opportunity and lead his army to Yecheng?
At that time, Wang Mang stationed troops from a state in Longshang to prevent Liu Yu from going south.
But now his brother has given up the gateway to the south to Liu Yu?
How could Queen Zhou not be angry and blame her brother for being confused?
But seeing Queen Zhou looking annoyed, Zhou Zha and Wang Shun looked at each other and smiled.
After smiling, Wang Shun stroked his goat's beard and said, "Madam, please don't be angry. Please let me explain to you the reason for this."
"Explanation? Okay! I really want to listen carefully and hear how you explain yourself."
Wang Shun smiled softly first, then said: "If Liu Yu had not formed an alliance with the Northern Barbarians, the general would definitely not have given Liu Yu a ride."
"What do you mean? Does sending him to Longshang have something to do with the Northern Barbarians?" But after hearing what Wang Shun said, Queen Zhou also asked him doubtfully.
"Madam, you are smart. The general sending Liu Yu to Long is indeed related to this alliance! In the past three years, the general and Liu Yu have fought countless small battles. Each side has its own victory or defeat. The general cannot attack Yuzhou, and Liu Yu cannot attack Long.
Go up. That’s why Liu Yu formed an alliance with the Northern Barbarians."
Hearing this, Queen Zhou couldn't help but interjected: "First of all, What you mean is that Liu Yu formed an alliance with the Northern Barbarians to attack his brother together with the Northern Barbarians?"
"Yes, this is what Liu Yu did!" Wang Shun stroked his goat's beard again and said: "Liu Yu led the northern barbarians to Yu, but at this time the general handed over Longshang to Liu Yu. As the saying goes, invite him.
It's easy to send them away, but it's hard! So what about Liu Yu who conquered Longshang without spending a single soldier? What about the Northern Barbarians? They traveled thousands of miles to send troops, how could they be willing to return empty-handed? If Liu Yu couldn't handle the subtleties of alliance, then he
To lure the northern barbarians into Yu's house would undoubtedly be to lure wolves into his house."
Speaking of this, Wang Shun paused for a moment and then said: "Liu Yu is caught in the middle. If he continues to go south, there will be a general of 480,000 troops from the north to block him. If he does not give the Northern Barbarians any benefits, then the Northern Barbarians will
They will definitely blame him for not fulfilling the covenant. In addition, the northern barbarians have always hated evil, so the general's plan to send him to Long can be said to be both a relief and an injustice to Liu Yu."
"Unjust? How do you say this, sir?"
"Because Liu Yu said in the covenant that if the Northern Barbarians help him capture Longshang, Liu Yu will divide the nine counties of Yuzhou with the Northern Barbarians. But now the general allows Liu Yu to take Longshang, even if the Northern Barbarians have not sent troops,
They will also think that it was their agreement with Liu Yu that scared the general away."
But after hearing what Wang Shun said, Queen Zhou also asked him again: "But what if Liu Yu really gave the nine counties of Yuzhou to the Northern Barbarians? Then you are not..."
"No!" Interrupting Queen Zhou's words, Wang Shun said with a bamboo in his chest: "The tiger will not divide the meat for him to eat, and the wolf will not let the leopard eat it. After all, this is just the side of a couch, how can it be
The principle of allowing others to sleep peacefully.”
After saying this to Queen Zhou, Wang Shun continued: "Even if Liu Yu sees through this plan of sending Long, he will have to accept it, because if he doesn't take it, the Northern Barbarians will take it."
"Is this brother's plan?" After hearing this, Queen Zhou looked at Zhou Zha with a shocked look and asked.
"It's sir!" Zhou Zha didn't take the credit, but looked at Wang Shun with respect and said, "Sir, as early as half a year ago, I proposed this plan to send you to Long."
"As early as half a year ago?" But after hearing what Zhou Zha said, Queen Zhou suddenly looked back at Wang Shun.
Yes
Looking at Wang Shun, Zhou Zha said to Queen Zhou in a more respectful tone: "Yes! Sir, he had expected this half a year ago."
"The general is really in trouble. How can I predict the unknown?" But after hearing Zhou Zha's praise, Wang Shun said again: "I just saw that Liu Yu and the general could not win for a long time, so I thought that he would form an alliance with the Northern Barbarians.
That's why I offered the general this plan to send him off to Long."
"As for the general using this strategy at this time, I can only say that it was only a matter of days!"
"Is this the number of days?" After accepting Wang Shun's words, the Zhou brothers and sisters suddenly looked at Wang Shun with burning eyes.
What was the number of days that Wang Shun was talking about? Wang Mang must have died at this time!
"Madam!"
A servant hurriedly ran into the hall, knelt down and reported to Queen Zhou: "Madam, Your Majesty is awake."
"Are you awake?" But after hearing the report, Queen Zhou also said angrily: "He woke up when he woke up. Is this trivial matter worthy of you being so anxious to retaliate? Why, is it possible that he woke up?"
Do you want me to go to the palace immediately to visit him?"
"Back to Madam, it's Shi Pang who's here! Shit Pang has conveyed His Majesty's decree that Madam should come to the palace immediately for an audience."
"Attendant Pang? Which Attendant Pang? Go and tell him that my wife has gone to bed! Tell him to go back to the palace..."
"Wait a minute!"
Raising his hand to interrupt Queen Zhou, Wang Shun looked at the servant and said, "Go and ask Attendant Pang to come in."
"Sir?" But after hearing what Wang Shun said, the Zhou family brothers and sisters also looked at him.
"Go on, there must be something important for you to come so late. It doesn't hurt that the general and his wife listen."
"All right!"
Looking away from Zhou Zha, Queen Zhou said to the servant in a cold voice: "Go and invite that servant Pang in."
"promise!"
But following Queen Zhou's order, the servant hurriedly left.
Pang Juan entered the house, carefully carrying him all the way into the house.
When he was led to the hall by the servants, he also saw the four Zhou Zha people sitting in the hall.
It was also because he saw it that he was suddenly shocked.< br>
Although he had never met Zhou Zha, he knew that the person sitting at the head of the hall must be Zhou Zha.
As for the other three, Pang Juan didn't know who they were.
Zha came back so quickly this week?
With this thought in his mind, Pang Juan stepped into the living room.
Standing still in the hall, with a hint of obvious courtesy on his lips, Pang Juan opened his mouth and said to Queen Zhou: "Congratulations, madam."
"Congratulations to my wife?" After exchanging glances with Zhou Zha and Wang Shun, Queen Zhou then asked Pang Juan with a cold air: "Where does the joy come from?"
"From a dream!"
"From Meng?" But hearing what Pang Juan said with such precious words, Wang Shun also frowned slightly.
"Come here!" But seeing Pang Juan coming, he showed his kindness to her, and Queen Zhou also knew her well and ordered him to give him a plate of jewels.
But when he saw this plate of jewels, Pang Juan's eyes continued to shine, and he said earnestly to Queen Zhou in the glow: "Just now, the eldest lady asked me where my happiness came from, and I replied that my wife came from a dream. In fact, it came from a dream.
It refers to a dream that Your Majesty has had in the past few days."
"A dream that I had when I was haunted?" After agreeing with Pang Juan's words, Queen Zhou asked him calmly: "I wonder if Attendant Pang would like to tell me about this dream that Your Majesty had?"
"Of course!" After replying to Queen Zhou, Pang Juan went on to say to her: "Even if the lady doesn't reward the minister with these jewels, the minister will tell his wife."
Queen Zhou finally realized that this guy was the one who conveyed His Majesty's decree, and it was the main thing to show his kindness to her.
Under the watchful eyes of Queen Zhou and the other five people, Pang Juan continued to speak with the same attentiveness as when he entered: "Since your Majesty has been haunted, apart from talking some scary things in his sleep at night, he has only been dreaming, and he still has the same dream every night.
I just heard about this dream from the queen."
"You little minister talks a lot of nonsense! Hurry up and tell me about the dream." Seeing Pang Juan being so verbose, Zhou Zhadan urged him impatiently.
"Yes...yes, it's my fault. General, don't be angry. I'll tell you now."
"Hurry up! If you keep nagging, don't blame me for being rude to you."
