Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 664 Sun Quan's Taboo Topic

The impact of the Sima family's extermination was too great, and Cao Pi discussed with Jia Xu many times how to deal with the aftermath.

It happened that Chen Qun and Jiang Ji wanted to "rescue" the Sima brothers, so the two monarchs and ministers did their best and played a double play in front of the ministers.

"Taiwei, please explain in detail." Cao Pi showed a curious expression.

Jia Xu glanced at Chen Qun secretly, and then explained: "If Sun Quan kills Brother Sima, it means that the assassin was indeed ordered by Sun Quan. We can use this as an excuse to attack Sun Quan. The gentry in Jiangdong will never be of one mind with the Sun family. There is no gentry. With regards to money, food, and trilogy, Sun Quan has no capital to resist at all, flattening Jiangdong can not only avenge the Sima family, but the king can easily regain Yangzhou, this is killing two birds with one stone."

"Wonderful." Cao Pi nodded affirmatively.

"If Sun Quan doesn't kill Brother Sima, he must give the king an explanation. Who sent the assassin? Should he deal with it? If Sun Quan doesn't deal with the king, he can send troops. If Sun Quan does, it will disintegrate Jiangdong's interior, because The person who can make enemies with Sima Changshi is definitely not an unknown person, Sun Quan will also be renounced at that time, in short, it will be beneficial to the Wei State." Jia Xu nodded his beard.

"The Taiwei is really a resourceful man." Cao Pi praised Jia Xu in front of everyone, and once again felt admiration for Jia Xu in his heart.

In Cao Pi's view, Jia Xu is already considered an exhaustive strategy.

"Jia Taiwei is unparalleled in the country, and it can be said that he is still alive." Chen Qun took Cao Pi's words and continued to praise.

Jia Xu retreated to his seat, cupped his hands and said modestly to everyone: "Your Majesty is so blessed, it has nothing to do with me."

Xiang Guohuaxin came out of the camp and said to Cao Pi: "Your Majesty, Sun Quan paid tribute and proclaimed you a minister, and advised you to become a great treasure. The emperor has also written to his ministers many times recently, saying that the days of the Han Dynasty are numbered, and he voluntarily asks for the seat of Zen for you." , it is better to take advantage of the victory to return to the teacher and go to Xudu to receive Zen, the people of the world have been waiting for a new master for a long time."

"Eh, maybe this is inappropriate? The previous kings were not willing to replace Han as emperor." Cao Pi pretended to be surprised.

Hua Xin immediately added: "At this time and at that time, the Son of Heaven is willing to follow the example of Yao and Shun in ancient times. Your Majesty should do his part and come down to the world to save the people from suffering."

"This..." Cao Pi still hesitated.

"Please Your Majesty Follow the Heart of the People"

"May the king be enthroned by Zen"

All the civil and military personnel in the tent bowed to persuade them to enter. Cao Pi nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, but he still didn't let go: "I have already understood the meaning of all the ministers. I will set up camp and return to Xudu tomorrow. I will think about it on the way back."

Sun Quan presented a letter of surrender to Cao Pi. He never expected that the other party would return the gift to two living people, and they were the sufferers of the Sima family. He thought that Cao Pi really depended on me?

"What on earth is Cao Pi trying to do? I, Jiangdong, have bowed down to Wei Wei, why is he still relentless in this matter?" Sun Quan slammed on the table, puzzled.

At this time, Sun Quan was surrounded by only Zhuge Jin, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Wen.

Zhuge Jin looked to the side and added in a low voice: "My lord, I have been to Cao Ying three times. The general named Xu Chu outside Cao Pi's tent reminded me every time to listen to Cao Pi's words, and his attitude was very tough. I doubted the Sima family It was Cao Pi himself who killed the family."

Sun Quan sneered: "Is Cao Cao doing too little to slaughter cities and families? I think it is reasonable for Cao Pi to kill the Sima clan, but it is really unreasonable to ask me Jiangdong to take the blame."

Zhang Zhaoxin said who called us the weakest?Cao Pi wanted Guan Yu to take the blame, but he didn't dare to provoke him now, did he?
"My lord, we all admitted earlier that it might indeed be the Jiangdong Assassin, and now we have sent people to investigate secretly. If we repent temporarily, will we give someone a handle?" Zhuge Jin recalled Xu Chu's expression, and now his vest was still dripping with sweat.

"Since it is possible that Cao Pi set the blame, why don't we expose the other party's face? Cao Pi is massacring the entire Sima family now, and maybe he will kill the Zhong family, Chen family, Yang family, etc. in the future. Those big noble families must rise up to resist, Wei Wei If the country is in chaos, our danger will be lifted." Zhang Wen took the opportunity to express his views.

Zhang Zhao waved his hand to retort: ​​"Huishu has only been an official for a short time, so I don't know how powerful the Cao family's methods are. Cao Pi dared to exterminate the family even with his confidantes, so he must have solved his worries. If we add fuel to the flames, the consequences may not be beneficial to Jiangdong."

Sun Quan's face was solemn, and he said to himself: "Cao Pi can become the king of Wei. It is rumored that Sima Yi has made great achievements. If Cao Pi really wiped out his family, this person is more ruthless than Cao Cao."

"Since ancient times, Wuqing has been the emperor's family the most. When Cao Cao conquered Zhangxiu in Wancheng, Cao Cao killed his nephew Cao Anmin and general Dianwei, not to mention his eldest son Cao Ang. Otherwise, how could there be Cao Pi and Cao Zhi? Opportunity to compete for reserves? The Cao family’s species are all the same, all of them are ruthless.” Zhang Zhao shook his head and sneered.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhao turned to Sun Quan and said, "My lord, you must also take this as a warning."

"What should I take as a warning? Gu is not very feminine, let alone be so stupid as to put Gonghe (Sun Deng) in danger, as for being ruthless."

Halfway through Sun Quan's words, he didn't feel right. He suddenly looked at Zhang Zhao coldly, and said to himself, you soft-boned old bastard, aren't you alluding to my eldest brother and third brother?Their assassination was completely accidental.

Zhang Zhao was horrified by Sun Quan, and immediately covered his mouth with his hands. He knew that if he said something wrong, he might touch Sun Quan's taboo.

Zhuge Jin immediately changed the topic to make a rescue, and saw him asking loudly: "Then what should we do now? What about the Sima brothers? If they stay in Jiangdong for one more day, Cao Pi will mention the Sima family's destruction. Why don't we help Cao Pi get rid of the roots?"

Sure enough, Sun Quan was attracted by Zhuge Jin's 'stupid' topic, and Sun Quan frowned and answered him: "Cao Pi's destruction of the family is not on the surface. Really? The two brothers can only confess when they go back."

"If this is the case, we must find a scapegoat for Cao Pi." Zhang Zhao continued to speak.

"The military division is very resourceful, and I will leave it to you to arrange the scapegoat. As for the placement of the Sima brothers," Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and hesitated to speak.

Zhang Zhao almost cried, and said in his heart, don't leave all these "beautiful jobs" to me, he is half buried, how can he have such great energy?

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhuge Jin sighed and shook his head and said, "Well, Cao Pi is really hard to deal with. He is not as upright as Cao Cao. We have to serve two suffering masters, really."

"Actually, Brother Sima's coming to Jiangdong may not be a bad thing in my opinion." Zhang Wen said thoughtfully.

Hearing the words, Zhang Zhao felt like rain after a long drought. He quickly stepped forward and took Zhang Wen's hand, and sighed kindly: "Huisu is indeed Zhang Jiajunyan, brother Sima's matter, you can share the worries of the Lord, I am really pleased." "

Sun Quan frowned and glanced at Zhang Zhao, then asked Zhang Wen in a low voice, "What's Hui Shu's opinion?"
