Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 626: The East is Red, Hebei Patriots
Chen Deng's words made Zhang Sui fall into silence.

If that’s the case, then Sima Yi’s assassination attempt backfired?

Instead of helping Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Guangling, to delay the time of Jiangdong's revenge, it shortened the time?

Originally, Sun Quan was still worried about his third brother Sun Yi seizing power.

Now that even the only competitor is dead, won’t the entire Jiangdong be united?

Then isn't Sun Quan's attack a foregone conclusion?

Zhang Sui smacked his lips.

Now that the butterfly effect has greatly changed the trajectory of history, he began to worry that Zhang Liao would not only fail to defeat Sun Quan, but would be defeated by Sun Quan instead.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui said to Ju Shou, Chen Deng, Liu Ye and others, "Notify them."

"Before this three-court banquet, we must finalize the strategy to defend against Sun Quan's revenge."

"We must not let Sun Quan take over Guangling."

"We don't have the energy to deal with places like Sun Quan and Jingzhou for now."

"Our main enemy is Cao Cao."

“But we can’t lose sight of one thing while focusing on the other.”

"Guangling and Lujiang are the most important locations to curb the development of Jiangdong."

"Oh, and there's Xiakou."

"Although Xiakou is not under our jurisdiction, we must still defend it."

"If we really can't defend it, we can only dispatch troops from Hebei."

Everyone nodded.

No one discussed the Jiangdong matter anymore.

Since Zhang Sui has made the decision on this matter, we can only wait until Tian Feng, Zhao Yun and others arrive in Hebei before making a decision.

Zhang then began to discuss the three-day gifts for the Emperor of Xudu and Empress Fu Shou.

After a day of discussion, everyone came to a conclusion.

The three-day gifts to the Emperor and Empress of Xudu were written by Ju Su and Chen Deng respectively, and then copied and stamped by Zhang Sui.

As for the gifts, in addition to gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, there were also paintings painted by Zhang Sui himself.

This painting was painted by Zhang Sui and Lu Xun at the same time.

The content of the painting is a "group photo" of all civil and military officials in Hebei.

On the surface, it was a blessing to the emperor and the empress, allowing them to see the greatness of the "Han Dynasty".

In fact, it was given to Cao Cao.

Let Cao Cao consider for himself whether he has the ability to defeat Zhang Sui's team within the next year.

After some discussion, Ju Shou and Chen Deng began to write three-day blessings to the emperor and the empress respectively, and Liu Ye was responsible for clearing the gifts given to the emperor.

Zhang Sui and Lu Xun were also busy painting.

In addition to drawing these pictures, Zhang Sui also drew an extra picture.

In the picture, Queen Fu Shou sits upright on a chair, looking majestic and beautiful.

He knelt on one knee in front of Queen Fu Shou and looked up at her.

He looked like he was listening to instructions.

Both the emperor and the empress were under Cao Cao's surveillance.

It is very likely that Zhang Sui's gift to the queen will be seen by Cao Cao first.

Therefore, he did not dare to be too straightforward.

It took Zhang Sui three days to finish drawing these pictures.

Cai Yan, Huang Yueying and Zhang Chunhua were responsible for coloring the portraits.

Lu Xun only took two days to finish the painting.

Zhang Sui pasted the paintings he and Lu Xun had drawn together to form a huge scroll, which was called: The Sun is Red, Hebei Patriots.

In the portrait, under the rising sun, Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu Shou stand in the middle, facing the inside of the scroll.

In front of Emperor Liu Xie and the Queen stood Zhang Sui, who was wearing the uniform of a general.

Zhang Sui faced the outside of the scroll.

To the left of Zhang Sui stood Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Xin Pi, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Li Ru, Liu Ye, Guo Jia, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Zhuge Liang, Chen Gui, Chen Jiao, Lu Su, Sima Fang, Yang Xu and others.

To the right of Zhang Sui stood Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Cheng Lian, Qian Zhao, Tian Yu, Chen Dao, Zhang Liao, Xu Dan, Gan Ning, Zhang Xun, Liu Xie, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others.

As for Li Ru and Xu Rong, Zhang Sui discussed it with everyone.

Originally, Zhang Sui thought that both of them were generals of Dong Zhuo, and that Li Ru had even faked his death in front of the emperor.

Therefore, the two do not appear in the scroll.

However, after discussion among Chen Deng, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and others, the scroll finally depicted Li Ru and Xu Rong.

Moreover, the original faces of Li Ru and Xu Rong were used.

Firstly, it was to let Cao Cao understand this powerful lineup.

Secondly, it also lets the emperor know that many things are no longer under control.

Even if one day Zhang Sui could successfully serve the king and move the emperor from Xudu to Yecheng.

However, the emperor must also be prepared, because he is no longer the master of Hebei!
Zhang Sui asked craftsmen to frame the scroll and put it together with the portrait he had painted for Fu Shou among the gifts for the three dynasties, which were then sent to Xudu by envoys.

The envoy in charge of the escort was Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima Fang, the General of Agriculture, and also Sima Yi's elder brother.

Afterwards, Zhang Sui concentrated on preparing for the three-day banquet.

On December 25th, all officials above the county magistrate level in the six states of Ji, Bing, You, Qing, Xu and Yang under Zhang Sui's rule, except for Guangling deputy commander Xu Dan and Lujiang commander Zhang Xun, had to guard their posts to prevent a surprise attack from the north of Jiangnan.

All officials above the county magistrate level under Zhang Sui's rule rushed to Yecheng.

For a while, Yecheng was crowded with people.

Zhang Sui urgently summoned the generals Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Xin Pi, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Li Ru, Liu Ye, Guo Jia, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Zhuge Liang, Chen Gui, Chen Jiao, Lu Su, Sima Fang, Yang Xu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Cheng Lian to discuss the revenge of Sun Quan in Jiangdong.

After discussion, the final plan for the defense of Guangling was determined.

After these three meetings, Xu Rong's 700 Flying Bear troops followed Zhang Liao south to prepare for any eventuality.

In addition, Zhuge Liang was transferred from Shouchun Magistrate to Lujiang County Governor, mainly responsible for guarding Lujiang's Ruxu Port and Wankou Port to prevent Zhou Yu of Chaisang from going north.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang had to seize the opportunity and help defend Guangling.

Liu Xie, the former governor of Lujiang County, was transferred to be the magistrate of Shouchun.

Guo Jia was transferred from Yecheng to Yangzhou and temporarily served as the governor of Yangzhou, assisting Zhao Yun in cooperating with Li Ru who was still in Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

When Zhang Sui led the civil and military officials to discuss the plan of revenge against Jiangdong.

Xudu.

royal palace.

Sima Lang arrived with Zhang Sui's gift but was stopped at the entrance of the palace by Xudu Ling Man Chong.

Not long after, Cao Cao arrived with Xun Yu, Xun You and Xi Zhicai.

Cao Cao chatted with Sima Lang on the side and asked about the recent movements of Sima Fang and Zhang Sui.

Sima Lang answered each question honestly.

Cao Cao was upset when he learned that Sima Fang had completely sided with Zhang Sui and even served as the General of Agriculture under Zhang Sui. He said sarcastically, "In the eyes of Sima Gong, I, Cao Cao, am not as good as a brat?"

Sima Fang was the one who recommended him to the court to be the Northern Inspector of Luoyang.

He has always regarded Sima Fang as his benefactor.

Now, this benefactor has actually defected to his enemy!
Sima Lang smiled without comment.

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Lang with disdain and was about to continue his ridicule, but Xi Zhicai suddenly raised his voice and said, "My lord, there is a scroll here!"
