Chapter 222

After two months of fierce fighting, in January of the following year, when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, Liu Cong and Sun Quan reached an agreement, and the two families shared the land of Jiaozhou.Cangwu, Jiaozhi, Hepu, and Jianning to the west belonged to Jingzhou, and Nanhai County, Jiuzhen County, and Yulin County to the south belonged to Sun Quan.Sun Quan did not have an advantage in Jiaozhi, and when things got to this point, the three counties were already pretty good.After peace talks, the two sides withdrew their lines of defense one after another.

Sun Quan made a request to be crowned King of Wu in the name of taking back the three counties of Jiaozhou.In Cao Cao's era, such memorials would have been thrown away.But I feel like I have found a treasure. Sun Quan's move can be regarded as a great help to me.There is no loss for me to be named king of Wu, on the contrary, it can fulfill my goal of becoming emperor step by step.

The three princes of the court, of course, disagree.Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others jumped out again.I am deploying troops in the middle of Sichuan right now, and I haven't been able to free up my hands to deal with these old bastards.They had no choice but to order that General Yulin Changxi and Zhijin Wu Shenrong to bring [-] to [-] armored troops to surround several old man's mansions first, and ask Jia Xu to present Sun Quan's memorabilia.

People like Fu Wan, Yang Biao, and Huang Wan wondered why there were so many menacing and vicious imperial guards around the house overnight.I thought there was a rebellion in the capital.Fu Wan relied on himself as a national warrior, relying on the old to sell the old, old-fashioned, went to see Shenrong, and asked him why he sent troops to surround his home.Shen Rong politely invited him to drink tea and told him, "Recently, the remnants of Cao's remnants have been rampant in Luoyang City, and the Prime Minister has ordered to shoot them to death. In order to protect the safety of the adults, they sent troops to protect them."

Immediately after he fell down, he became half short, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone to put the hat of Cao's remnant on his head. He came out of Shen Rong's house, and went to see Chang Xi again.Throwing the waist knife on the low table, rolled his eyes, and said carelessly: "I don't know what's going on, the prime minister asks me to send troops, so I will send troops, and if I ask me to kill people, I will kill people. I can control so much."

Fu Wan and Yang Biao went to court the next day, and they were all ashes.Yang Biao pulled Fu Wan, tremblingly said: "What's going on, is Prime Minister Yuan planning to rebel?" Fu Wan saw that something was wrong with him, and comforted him: "It's not that serious, I think it's just to scare people." Yang Biao Stiff neck, staring eyes, the white beard on the chin pouted: "Scare people? Yesterday my son Yang Xiu went out to buy writing brushes, but was stopped by a group of soldiers and refused to go out. Yang Xiu just argued a few words, Those Hebei savages didn't say anything, they just beat me violently, and my son was seriously injured and vomited blood. Is this a scare?"

Fu Wan comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good for young people to suffer a little bit, don't take it too seriously." His son was not beaten, so he spoke so easily!
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty called to the court.The eunuch came up and sang a promise: "Play early if there is something to do, and the tide will go out if there is nothing to do." Jia Xu took a memorial and went to His Royal Highness; The deepest part is that I like playing the book.Every month or two, I will receive his performances, most of which are nonsense.Either to greet the emperor, or to curse Liu Bei and Cai Mao and Liu Cong for being nothing.Sun Quan in the whole Han Dynasty looked like a traitor to everyone, and he was utterly loyal to save him.The emperor didn't even bother to read his memorial, and said impatiently: "What is it written?" Jia Xu thought to himself, I will scare you to death if I say it.He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the court could hear clearly: "His Majesty, Sun Quan recently conquered Lingnan and sent envoys to Luoyang to repay his merits—" Emperor Xian of Han didn't finish listening, and said carelessly: "Okay , well, let him be the Great Sima." Jia Xu sneered and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Quan does not want to be the Great Sima."

Emperor Xian of Han said, "Then what does he mean?" Jia Xu had a strange expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Sun Quan said that he has made great contributions, and he wants to be like Liu Zhang, add nine tins, and be named King of Wu."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fell from the dragon seat with a bang, wondering if there was nothing wrong with his ears: "What? Sun Quan also wants to add Jiuxi and make him king of Wu?" Jia Xu said innocently: "Your Majesty, don't panic. It doesn't matter, I read it according to the memorial, if you don't believe me, you can read it yourself." An eunuch came down and took the memorial from Jia Xu.

When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw it, his surprised eyes almost fell out: "Is that Jiuxi added for fun?" What the hell do you want me to do as an emperor.This sentence is subtext.

After Han Xiandi finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he immediately asked: "What does the prime minister mean?" Simpi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister, I think Sun Quan has indeed made meritorious service, so he can add Jiuxi." Han Xiandi understood immediately No, he's not stupid.It was Sun Quan who wanted to add Jiuxi, and it was clearly Yuan Xi who wanted to do it himself.

It's very strange that the court is very quiet today, and the few ministers who usually said that they would go through fire and water for the Han Dynasty have become dumb.It appeared that the mouth was sewn shut.Yang Biao's mouth kept trembling, his face was flushed with suffocation, and he looked anxious to urinate and was embarrassed to speak out.Huang Wan's beard and hair were all stretched out, and he took half a step to the side. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave him an encouraging look.Aiqing, speak quickly, speak quickly.Huang Wan wanted to fight it out.Suddenly, Zhijin Wu Shenrong coughed behind Jia Xu.Although the voice was soft, it reached Huang Wan's ears, but thousands of silver needles pierced his whole body in pain.Huang Wan hesitated for a moment.Jia Xu said again: "Three generations of the Sun family are loyal and good, and they are all public officials. His father, Sun Jian, once made great contributions when he defeated the traitor Dong Zhuo. His brother, Sun Jian, also died for the country—" There was a commotion among the courtiers , nonsense!Who doesn't know that Sun Ce was killed at this moment.Die for the country, speak nonsense with open eyes.

Jia Xu felt that his face was a little feverish, and it was not a good reason to fight for the throne for Sun Quan.He went on to say: "Sun Quan conquered Lingnan again this time, and it is also possible to make him king of Wu and let him guard Jiangdong." Ai Qing, everyone knows that Jia Xu is farting.But no one dared to speak out.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at Fu Wan, but Fu Wan pretended not to see, and coughed with his head down, as if he had pharyngitis.He looked at Yang Biao again. Yang Biao looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth. If he guessed right, he should be practicing.Huang Wan was also honest, standing there with shame on her face and picking her nose.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sighed in his heart, and the three seemed to agree.He didn't know that the home of the three adults was surrounded by armored warriors.If you are not careful, the whole family will die.

Emperor Han Xian was angry, and asked Fu Wan with concern: "Guo Zhan, your throat is uncomfortable?" He said: "Guo Zhan also agrees with what Mr. Jia Xu said." His whole body was like sifting chaff after he was exhausted, and he said to himself, I am the eighth generation ancestor of Yuan Xi, and I don't agree with it.But, there is no way; "Yes, yes."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was like a discouraged ball, his shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he was weak: "Okay, let's make an order according to the meaning of the memorial. Ebb tide—— ebb tide——" three times in a row, and walked away.

Sun Quan handed over the memorial, but he didn't have much hope for it.Who would have thought that the dream would come true so easily, so happy he kept asking Zhou Yu beside him: "Gongjin, go and see if the edict is real? Stop being a fake."

Zhou Yuzai read it carefully: "It's true, it's absolutely true." Sun Quan laughed and said, "So it's so easy to be a prince. I might as well go to the memorial for several years!"

Zhou Yu's expression froze; "My lord, this matter is not that simple, I feel a little strange—"

In the next month, there was a wave of applications for adding Jiuxi throughout the Han Dynasty.Gongsun Kang, Liu Cong, and Cao Cao all sent memorials to Luoyang to apply for the title of king.There are also many governors and prefects who also wrote.I heard that even Liu Bei also asked to add Jiuxi.Xue Ti, the most irritating magistrate of Xinye County in Hefei, also wrote a memorial, applying to be the king of Xinye, and also asked for a crown prince and an ancestral temple.It almost exploded the stomach of Han Xiandi.

This Xue Ti bastard is purely out to disrupt the situation. If I don't deal with him, his surname will not be Yuan.

Of course, these memorials were rejected one by one and severely reprimanded.Liu Bei and others were naturally dissatisfied, and the memorials were still followed one by one.It wasn't until the three envoys who arrived in Luoyang that Chang Xi pulled them out and chopped them down that the turmoil gradually calmed down.

The 15th year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, 210 AD, February.Liu Zhang, who had just become the king of Shu, removed the garrisons of Jiangyou, Mianzhu, and Jiange, and headed to Baidi City, preparing to deal the final blow to Jingzhou and attack Xiangyang.Cai Mao and Zhang Yun personally went to Yiling and invested 30 land and water troops, preparing for a decisive battle.The battle clouds spread all over Chutian, and the battle flags covered the sun, causing the Yangtze River to change its color.

It's just that Liu Cong and Cai Hao don't quite understand, what kind of wind is this Liu Zhang, why does he have to make trouble with Jingzhou, evil door?

After the civil strife in Jingzhou, people's hearts were scattered and their strength was greatly weakened. It was obvious that they were no match for the Shu army.If it weren't for Huo Jun and Wenpin, who were used to fighting, Yiling would have been defeated long ago.In desperation, Madam Cai remembered her most loyal ally—Prime Minister Yuan.

Kuai Yue suggested to Liu Cong that as long as he gave the letter of divorce to Prime Minister Yuan, he would let Hebei soldiers attack Jiameng Pass.Liu Zhang must return to the army, and the danger in Jingzhou will be resolved by itself.Liu Cong was too young, and although he was smart, he had no opinion. He said with a sad face, "Then Yuan Xi is not an idiot, how could he be willing to send troops." Kuai Yue said with a smile: "My lord, the position of General Zhennan is due to Prime Minister Yuan's ingenious plan. The prime minister and his wife have always exchanged letters, as long as the madam is willing to write to the prime minister and then sent by the general, the matter will surely succeed."

Liu Cong was overjoyed, so he went in to ask Mrs. Cai.So Mrs. Cai wrote a letter and asked Kuai Yue to send it.Holding the letter, Kuai Yue thought to himself that he was going to get rich again.

Before Kuai Yue came, Guo Jia and I had already begun to dispatch troops in Hanzhong.First of all, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and Gao Rou were ordered to transport grain to Hanzhong along Jigu, Xiegu and Ziwugu in three routes.They were stationed in Dingjun Mountain, Micang Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, a hundred miles north of Jiameng Pass.Jia Xin garrisoned Yangpingguan, Tianyin, and Subo garrisoned Langzhong.Hu Che'er led [-] soldiers to inspect the Sanba, which is a strategically important location, and it is related to the occupation of the entire northwest. If the Sanba is lost, it will be difficult for Yuan Jun to gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong.In addition, Wen Chou stationed [-] troops in Tiandang Mountain.Zhang He stationed one hundred thousand troops at Dangqu.Li Dian's [-] troops stationed in Baocheng.The rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed in Chenggu and Nanzheng.Ready to leave Yangping Pass at any time.Attack Jiameng.

After the arrangements were made, there was a sudden noise outside the door: "Please inform me that the last general is Baocheng Yamen. He wants to see the prime minister and has an urgent military situation." The soldiers outside the door thought he was ridiculous, and smiled. , I still want to see the prime minister, I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth.He sneered and said: "The Prime Minister is busy with military affairs, so I will see you when I have time. You are a general in Baocheng, you'd better report the military situation to General Li Dian, and wait for him to report back to the Prime Minister. But you can't go in."

"The last general does have an urgent military situation, please report it, it is no small matter at this time."

"No, no, hurry up, or I'll catch you as an assassin."

The man didn't leave and begged cheekily: "Just let me know, I'm really a general from Baocheng—you—" It seemed that he had started.

"What's the matter?" Guan Cheng happened to come over from a distance, and hurriedly asked.Zhou Cang was injured, and he acted as the captain of the personal soldier.In front of the commander's tent, his deputy general was grabbing a big man by the collar and stretching out his fist to hit him. Hearing Zhang Nan's cry, he let go of it and ran over; "General Guan, this man says he is Baocheng's tooth The goalkeeper keeps saying that he wants to see the prime minister, but if the last general refuses, he will beat me up, it is really unreasonable."

Refers to a deer as a horse, and reverses black and white.Guan Chengqi rolled his eyes.Who wants to hit whom?However, of course he wanted to defend his subordinates, coughed twice, walked over in square steps, and shouted: "Stay, little Yamen general, if you dare to come here to play wild, you don't want to live."

That toothy goalkeeper looks very mighty, with big arms and round waists.He probably recognized Guan Cheng and knew that he was the prime minister's favorite general, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "General Guan, I have an urgent military situation to report to the prime minister, can the general notify you on your behalf." But it's not easy, who knows if you harbor evil intentions: "What's the matter, just tell me, and I will convey it for you."

"That's—not very good, it's military—"

"where are you from?"

"The last general of Qibao is the Tangqu family in Brazil. He was originally a subordinate of Changqi, the prefect of Baocheng."

"Sure enough, he is a general!" Guan Cheng knew what he meant, this man wanted to make a contribution, so he squinted at him: "Wait." He stepped in.

I was discussing with a group of generals, and Guo Jia also heard the noise outside the door.He stared at Guan Cheng who came in at the door with big eyes and small eyes, waiting for him to speak.Guan Cheng was stunned, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, there is a general from Baocheng outside the door who wants to break into the tent, but was stopped by my men, did you see it?"

Li Dian is stationing troops in Baocheng, and the chief is some military officers.When I heard that it was his person, I couldn't help but feel angry. Isn't this a leapfrog report?Damn, you didn't pay attention to me.Arched his hands and said: "The end general will go out and have a look."

"Manchester City, forget it, tell him to come in. Maybe there is an urgent matter." I guessed the reason for Li Dian's anger.

Guan Cheng said: "The end will bring him in."

That man had big ears on the one hand, and a loyal face. Standing there, he was extremely stable, but his eyes shot out a wise light.Yu Jin, Zhang Xiu and others in the room were all taken aback.I didn't expect Baocheng to have such a person.

"The last general, Wang Ping, sees the prime minister."

I took a deep breath, it turned out to be Wang Zijun, no wonder he has an extraordinary temperament.I hurried over to help: "Please get up, General Wang, I heard that you have an urgent military situation to find the truth—" Seeing me supporting Wang Ping with my hands, Zhang Xiu suddenly withdrew his waist knife and stood in front of him, and asked Wang Ping sharply: "A surrendered general, armed with a weapon, came to see the prime minister. Could it be that he intends to rebel?" Wang Ping suddenly lowered his head, saw the treasured sword at his waist, broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly shouted, "Damn it, how can you be so confused." "The last general, the last general didn't do it on purpose, the prime minister, the prime minister is very careful." Wang Ping's face turned sallow, and he knelt down to worship.While kowtowing, he thought, unlucky, the one who came to make meritorious service was discriminated against by the generals in Hebei. I knew I would not come.I'll vote for Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, in a while.

I hurriedly stopped Zhang Xiu: "Old Zhang, old Zhang, it's okay, this man is not a bad guy. I heard about him when I was in Luoyang. He is brave and witty in battle. Don't worry." Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and put The knife was sheathed back and stepped aside.Holding the handle of the knife with his hand, his eyes were still fixed on Wang Ping who kowtowed on the ground.As long as he has the slightest movement, kill him immediately.

I walked over quickly, helped Wang Ping up, and I laughed and said, "Wang Zijun's name, I've heard the truth a long time ago, get up, get up." No battles have been fought, and no military exploits have been made.How did the prime minister know about me.

Anyway, Wang Ping was very happy and said modestly; "The prime minister said too much, the last general is a nobody."

"General Wang is too modest. Back then when you fought against Ma Chao and outwitted Han Sui, no one in the world knows. Why should you hide it?" I think there is no reason to keep Wang Ping by my side.

Wang Ping almost blurted out, Prime Minister, you must have mistaken someone.After thinking about it, he swallowed it back, saying that would embarrass the prime minister.

"Zijun came to find the truth, what's the matter?"

When Wang Ping heard me call him affectionate, he felt warm in his heart. He said that the prime minister was approachable, courteous and virtuous, without airs, and he really lived up to his reputation.I don't vote for Liu Zhang anymore.I feel happy working under someone like the prime minister.It is these famous generals under him who are not easy to get along with——

"Prime Minister mobilized the army today, but is he going to use troops against the middle of Sichuan?" Everyone including Guo Jia turned their gazes into burning arrows and shot towards him.This is an absolute secret, and no one knows except for these few people around.Wang Ping told the truth, could it be that the news had leaked out.

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, is it something you, a general, should ask about this kind of military affairs?" Wang Ping felt a pang of coldness down his spine, and quickly said, "Prime Minister, don't doubt it, the general will never reveal it." .”

There was admiration in my eyes.Wang Ping deserves to be a first-class general with a calm mind. Just looking at the frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses in the past few days, he knew that I would use troops against Shuzhong.Talent is rare.

"That's right. Truth is indeed going to use troops against Shuzhong. Zijun has something to say."

All the generals were shocked, and then calmed down again.Everyone was thinking in their hearts, it seemed that the prime minister didn't intend to let this man surnamed Wang live.Wang Ping didn't think so, he saw the fiery sincerity in my eyes.Kneeling on the ground with a thud: "Prime Minister, with all due respect, there is—a problem with your deployment." "Bold!"

"Bastard—" the generals glared at him: "How dare you question the prime minister." Guo Jia waved his hand to organize everyone: "Let him continue." I finally thought of a clever plan to keep Wang Ping: "Wang Zijun, please continue." , If what you say is reasonable, I will promote you to Zhonglang General and let you be a teacher. If you talk nonsense, be careful."

Wang Ping was full of confidence, raised his head, cupped his hands and said: "Then the general will say it. Liu Zhang and Liu Cong are fighting against Yiling at the moment. The battle will reach Maicheng in a short time. If it is Jingzhou, our army will naturally drive straight in and take Chengdu. But Has the Prime Minister ever thought about it? If the Shu army wins, the army will advance to the front line of Maicheng. It will be there—” He glanced back at the military map on the wall, got up, and pointed to a river: “We will also arrive at Hanshui—— "

The generals were still confused, Guo Jia and Yu Jin were the first to react.Guo Jia took a step forward and pointed to Shangyong County Road: "From Maicheng to Hanshui, passing Shangyong and Xicheng, you can go directly to Hanzhong Chenggu and Dingjun Mountain, our army's granary. If you don't set up camps on both sides of the Hanshui River to monitor, Wan If a Shu army comes along this road, our army will undoubtedly be defeated."

Now everyone understands.

The generals only care about making fuss in Hanzhong and Yizhou, but forget the Jingzhou waterway, so they can go straight to Hanzhong.Although Wang Ping's worry may not happen, but in marching and fighting, if he makes a mistake, he will lose everything, so he must guard against it.

I nodded deeply: "From today onwards, Wang Ping will be promoted to a partial general and stay in my army as division commander." Guo Jia said: "Let Liyi General Yang Bai lead the army to garrison Hanshui to guard against enemy soldiers on the waterway."

All the generals were very surprised, from Yamen general to side general, not to mention how many levels they were promoted, they were directly given command of a division.This is a little too much.Immediately, someone showed dissatisfaction on their faces.I don't know if it is really capable or a blind cat has encountered a dead mouse.Wang Ping didn't react too much, but just accepted it calmly. He knew that if he couldn't make meritorious service in the future, his position as a teacher would not be secure.Wang Pingdao: "The general requests that tens of thousands of Tiandang Mountains be garrisoned. The terrain there is the most familiar to General Wen. I hope I can help General Wen." Tiandang Mountain is the front line of the war against Shu. It does take a guide who is familiar with the terrain.Wang Ping is from Dangqu, so he should be able to help.
