Jianye.
As soon as the news of Cao Pi's usurpation of the throne came out, Zhuge Jin, Han Dang and other northerners proposed that Sun Quan should use the name of great righteousness to expedition to the north.
It's a pity that Sun Quan just laughed at this kind of news.
Cao Pi just did what most people wanted to do.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, which one of them doesn't want to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish itself?
Except for Yuan Shu, who was dead in the tomb, no one took action.
"Hua Ziyu, are you okay?"
Sun Quan looked at the people in the audience with a hint of murderous intent in his smile.
Hua Xin was originally a minister of the Sun family, but was recruited by Cao Cao in the name of the emperor, and finally left the Sun family.
"On that day, the veteran once said that Marquis Wu could form a friendship with Emperor Wu because he could obey the Emperor's orders, but this friendship is not yet strong."
"Let me go over there and deepen our friendship with you. Now it's time for this friendship to be fulfilled."
When Hua Xin faced Sun Quan, his expression remained unchanged.
On the day he defected to Cao Cao, in addition to coveting the wealth of the Central Plains, Hua Xin also disliked Sun Quan.
Nowadays, Bi Yan'er has taken charge of Jiangdong, and whether it is Zhou Yu, Lu Su, or Cheng Pu, they have become a thing of the past.
"Oh? I and Cao Cao are attacking each other."
"The friendship that Ziyu talks about has never existed before."
"I came here today to serve as Cao Zihuan's lobbyist?"
Sun Quan showed no mercy and exposed Hua Xin's tricks. He looked down on such sanctimonious people the most.
"Does Marquis Wu know that our Majesty is now fighting against the traitor Liu Mang in Xiangfan?"
As soon as Hua Xin said this, Zhuge Jin opened his mouth to refute.
"Hua Ziyu, this is wrong!"
"Young Master Changqing is a clan member of the Han family, and his father Liu Xuande is the emperor's uncle of the Han family!"
"On the other hand, your lord, Cao Pi, not only usurped the Han Dynasty to establish himself, but also brought his father Cao Cao to infamy. He is simply an unfaithful, unjust and unfilial person!"
Zhuge Jin angrily scolded Cao Pi, which made Hua Xin lose his face.
"Tzuyu might as well let Hua Xin talk first. If you are so aggressive, won't people think that I, Jiangdong, have no way of hospitality?"
Lu Meng spoke decisively, he had already smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy.
Hua Xin glared at Zhuge Jin, but he didn't expect that the Zhuge family's tiger would actually show its fangs at him.
"Zhuge Ziyu, our Majesty is the orthodox one who accepted the abdication of the Han Dynasty!"
"Now Liu Bei and his son do not acknowledge the concession, and even take the initiative to launch an attack."
"Such traitors will surely be killed by both heaven and man!"
Seeing that Zhuge Jin was about to retort, Sun Quan directly waved his hand to signal him not to speak.
Zhuge Jin was a little angry. The ancestors of everyone present were almost all Han ministers, but now they have to negotiate terms with the traitors who usurped the Han Dynasty?
"Back to business, my Majesty now has all Liu Mang's troops under control."
"Jingzhou was supposed to be owned by the Marquis of Wu, but Liu Bei and his sons failed in every possible way."
"My Majesty can't stand it and wants to join Wu Hou in hunting Jingzhou!"
Hua Xin looked at Sun Quan, but unfortunately Sun Shiwan, with blue eyes and purple beard, had no expression on his face, so he couldn't see any clues.
"Hua Ziyu, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
Sun Quan sneered and said: "I once made a sneak attack on Jingzhou before, but it was defeated by Zhao Yun!"
"That Fengchu Pang Tong is even more resourceful, as famous as Wolong Zhuge Liang!"
"Why do I need to hook up with my own people just to understand the siege of Cao Wei and Xiangfan?"
Seeing that Sun Quan was not easy to fool, Hua Xin had no choice but to think of other strategies.
"Wu Hou, this time my Majesty has brought great sincerity!"
"Your Majesty would like to make you the King of Wei and Wu, as well as the General of Hussars!"
"If the two families can work together to defeat Liu Mang, His Majesty will grant Jingzhou to the Marquis of Wu!"
Hua Xin understood that what Sun Quan wanted was always Jingzhou.
It's a pity that Liu Bei, who used to be able to control him at will, has now become an existence that is beyond his reach.
"Hua Ziyu, my title of Marquis of Wu was conferred by the Han Dynasty. Why do you and other rebellious ministers and traitors need to confer it on me?"
Zhuge Jin couldn't bear it any longer and pointed at Hua Xin and cursed angrily: "You are treacherous people who act according to the wind. What qualifications do you have to deceive the Marquis of Wu!"
Seeing the commotion among everyone, Zhang Zhao, who had never said a word, spoke.
"Ahem! Why don't you guys listen to me?"
Zhang Zhao has always had great prestige in Jiangdong, and both Zhuge Jin and Hua Xin wanted to betray his reputation.
"Wu Hou, our ally is no longer the weakling he was in the Battle of Chibi."
"Now Liu Bei occupies half of Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Liangzhou, and Jingzhou. With the territory of the four states, he is eyeing the Central Plains."
"As for Soochow, we only have Yangzhou and Nanhai counties, which is obviously the weakest among the three parties."
What Zhang Zhao said was exactly what Sun Quan was worried about.
For Liu Bei, destroying Cao Wei in the Central Plains was obviously no easier than annexing Soochow.
Can the natural dangers of the Yangtze River really stop the naval forces of Guan Yu, Gan Ning and others?
What's more, Zhao Yun has been practicing in the navy for many years in Jingzhou.
This made Sun Quan suspect that Liu Bei and his son were training the navy just to attack Soochow.
Instead of waiting for Liu Bei and his son to take the initiative, it would be better for him, Sun Quan, to strike first.
"The Marquis of Wu should know that Liu Bei was weak at the time, so he formed an alliance with Soochow."
"Now it seems that Cao Wei was beaten to such a moral level by Liu Bei and his son, but his strength is nothing more than this."
"Back then, some people left Soochow as guests and instead went to Xuchang to be dogs. Now they want to come back to Soochow. It's really ridiculous!"
Zhang Zhao talked eloquently, and his words were full of contempt for Hua Xin and Cao Pi.
Now that Hua Xin had something to ask for, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only listen to Zhang Zhao's sarcastic remarks.
"Wu Hou, if our army goes to Gong'an Ferry in the name of support, do you think it's feasible?"
Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan, who quickly understood what he meant.
A sneak attack on the public security, connecting Han and Shanghai in the east, Bashu in the west, Hunan and Guangdong in the south, and Shaanxi and Henan in the north. This has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!
"Hua Xin, go back and tell Cao Pi that I will temporarily agree to be the King of Wei and Wu for a while."
"Before I send troops, don't let Liu Mang attack Fancheng!"
Sun Quan made up his mind to weaken Liu Bei and never let Jingzhou fall into Liu Bei's hands.
"Liu Xuande, Liu Changqing, don't blame me!"
"With Jingzhou, you can train naval forces. For the safety of Jiangdong, I have to guard against it!"
"You and your son, if you want to blame them, just blame God!"
Zhuge Jin looked at Sun Quan in disbelief. He did not expect that Wu Hou would actually agree to become the King of Wu in the Wei Dynasty!
How ironic is this?
"Tzuyu, can you tell Zhuge Liang the news?"
Lu Meng looked at Zhuge Jin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Lu Ziming, don't try to taint someone's innocence!"
Zhuge Jin took a deep breath. He just hoped that the public security ferry would be fortified so that it would not be easily captured.
Otherwise, there may be no room for maneuver between the two countries!
…
Fancheng.
Seeing the construction of the dam in front of him being gradually completed, Liu Mang finally showed a happy smile.
He and Cao Pi were both waiting for the spring to bloom and the ice and snow to melt.
"It's wet under the army, and there is no way for water to flow through it. When the rain comes, it can be filled or sunk."
"Wu Qi's Art of War. Don't lie to me. Is Cao Pi ready to swim back to Luoyang?"
