It turned out to be a strategy given by Kong Ming to Wei Yan. He first let thirty cavalrymen lie in ambush next to Wang Shuang's camp. Then when Wang Shuang came out to chase him, he sent people to set fire to his camp. When he was attracted by the flames, he secretly came back. He rushed out and killed him. In fact, Wei Yan's martial arts skills were comparable to Wushuang's. It was because Wushuang was not prepared that he was able to hit him with one blow. Wei Yan killed Wushuang and naturally made a great contribution. He went to Hanzhong to meet Kong Ming. After handing over the troops, Kong Ming set up a banquet and commended Wei Yan for his behavior. Zhang He could not catch up with the Shu army and returned to the camp. Suddenly, Hao Zhao from Chencang City sent a battle report from the front line, saying that Wang Shuang was killed by Wei Yan. Cao Zhen heard about it and was very sad and seriously ill, so he Returning to Jiyang, he appointed Guo Huai, Sun Li, and Zhang He to guard Chang'an and other key roads.
It can be said that Wang Shuang was discovered by Cao Zhen. He was a fierce general at the time. He did not expect to be killed because of his mistakes. In addition, Cao Zhen was very ashamed of his failures in the past few days, which led to him becoming extremely angry.
When King Wu Sun Quan went to court, the battle report from the front line was quickly passed on, saying: "Zhuge Liang of Western Shu sent troops to Qishan twice, and Cao Zhen, the governor of Wei, lost his troops and lost his general." So everyone persuaded King Wu to raise an army to attack Wei and plot in the Central Plains.
Sun Quan lived in a corner and did not have much interest in dominating the Central Plains. In addition, the matter of proclaiming emperor had a hint of rebellion, so he hesitated.
At this time, the minister Zhang Zhao came out and said: "I recently heard that a phoenix flew from the east mountain of Wuchang, fog appeared in the river, and a yellow dragon always appeared. My lord's virtue is similar to that of Tang and Yu, and his military force and civil strategy have all met the requirements of the emperor." , we should also take advantage of the situation and proclaim ourselves emperor, and then raise troops to attack Wei."
Other officials stepped forward one after another, bowed and said, "Zhang Zhao's suggestion is very reasonable!"
Sun Quan had no words to refute, so he agreed to the suggestion of proclaiming himself emperor, so he chose Bingyin, the fourth month of the summer, and built an altar in the southern suburbs of Wuchang. According to the corresponding customs, the ministers invited Sun Quan to ascend to the throne and take up the position of emperor. In the eighth year of the first year of Huanglong, his father Sun Jian was posthumously named Emperor Wulie, his mother Wu was Queen Wulie, his brother Sun Ce was named Prince Heng of Changsha, his son Sun Deng was made the crown prince, and Zhuge Jin's eldest son Zhuge Ke was appointed as the prince's teacher. Zhang Zhao's second son is the prince's second teacher.
Zhuge Ke, named Yuanxun, was seven feet tall. He had been very smart since he was a child and was very good at dealing with things. Sun Quan cherished him very much. He was only six years old. It was a gathering at Soochow. He and his father Zhuge Jin were sitting at the banquet. Sun Quan Seeing that Zhuge Jin's face was a little too long, he sent someone to lead a donkey over and wrote "Zhuge Ziyu" on the donkey's face with a pink pen.
After everyone saw it, they all laughed. Zhuge Jin just smiled helplessly, while Zhuge Ke changed his expression and was about to walk out. Zhuge Jin tried to stop him, but he didn't have time, so he took the chalk from Sun Quan's hand and behind the word, It reads: "Zhuge Ziyu's Donkey".
Everyone in the house was very surprised to know that he was able to do such a thing despite his young age. Sun Quan was very happy and rewarded him with the donkey on the spot.
Later, another time, Sun Quan held a banquet to celebrate and invited all civil and military officials. Sun Quan asked Zhuge Ke to pour wine for everyone. When he came to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao wanted to tease him and said with a smile: "This is not respecting the elderly. That’s a good way, and I’m very old, so I can’t drink it.”
Sun Quan smiled and said to Zhuge Ke: "Is there any way you can make Zhang Zhao drink?"
So he nodded and took the order, turned to Zhang Zhao and said: "Jiang Shang's father was ninety years old before, and he could still lead troops to fight, and he never said anything about his old age. Now it's the day before the battle. The husband is behind, and it's the day of drinking. , Sir is in front, how can you say you don’t respect the elderly?"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhao had no words to respond and could only drink the wine in the cup. Sun Quan also cherished this talent very much and asked him to teach the prince. However, Zhang Zhao was an important official in the three dynasties of Jiangdong. He had helped the kings of Wu in the past dynasties. , his position was still above that of the three princes, and it was obviously unjustifiable that his son would not make arrangements, so he appointed Zhang Zhao's son Zhang Xiu as the prince's second teacher, and made Gu Yong the prime minister and Lu Xun as the general to tutor the prince in guarding Wuchang.
After the capital was surrendered, Sun Quan returned to Jianye and discussed with everyone how to attack Wei.
Zhang Zhao said: "Your Majesty has just won the throne and cannot mobilize troops yet. He can only take care of internal affairs first, build many more schools to appease everyone, and send envoys to Western Shu to conclude a deeper alliance with Western Shu." , and then we will divide the world together, and then we will think about attacking Wei."
Sun Quan followed this advice and sent people to Sichuan overnight to meet Yu Yi, who had just arrived in Hanzhong.
It turned out that after Yu Yi arrived in Xiangyang, he gave up the idea of going on an expedition because of doubts about the food problem, and began to investigate the food problem. When the preliminary results came out, Yu Yi felt a little painful, because those were not what he wanted to see, and there were many The matter cannot be resolved in Xiangyang and needs to be resolved in the court.
He later made a video call to Kong Ming about this matter, and found that Kong Ming had returned to Hanzhong, which surprised Yu Yi. After understanding the process, Yu Yi understood that the Northern Expedition encountered a dilemma. Although Chen Cang killed Wang Shuang, However, the food road was not opened, and the Wei army refused to fight, which increased the difficulty. Kongming was afraid that Qishan sent troops to cut off the food and grass, and the Wei army sent troops from Chencang to cut off the retreat. The loss would be too great, so he had to retreat first.
After Yu Yi knew the whole story, he could only let Huang Shumin continue training and wait until the next round of the Northern Expedition before sending out troops.
Although Huang Shumin and others were a little unhappy, they also knew what the food problem meant to an army, so she came to take care of this task personally, while Lei Chunze mass-produced combat equipment to strengthen Xiangyang's city defense and prepare for the next attack. be prepared.
Since the plan for the Eastern Expedition was postponed, Yu Yi felt that there was no point in staying in Xiangyang, so he came to Zhuge Shan and asked, "This time, are you going or staying?"
Zhuge Shan nodded and said: "I'd better stay, Xiangyang City needs me!"
Yu Yi stared at Zhuge Shan's belly and said, "But you are pregnant with the fetus, what if you are in danger?"
Huang Shumin and others also advised Zhugeshan, who said he had no choice but to return to Hanzhong to raise the baby. For safety reasons, Huang Shumin sent a team of people to Yuyi to escort the two back to Hanzhong.
As soon as the two of them entered Hanzhong City, a minister came to report that they were from Soochow.
After Yu Yi knew the purpose of the envoy's visit, he asked: "Soochow sent troops to Xiangyang. I was defeated last time. If you don't abide by the covenant, do you need an explanation?"
Others also advised him, saying: "Sun Quan's proclaiming himself emperor is a sign of contempt for the Han Dynasty, and his alliance should be severed."
Yu Yi smiled and said: "Now that the world is divided into three parts, it is not easy for Sun Quan to stay in the position of King Wu for a long time. He is most likely to be the emperor this time because of the minister's intention. Who doesn't want to follow a powerful king? Woolen cloth?"
Jiang Wan came out and said, "Your Majesty has just returned to Hanzhong. Some things may not be clear yet. You can send someone to summon the Prime Minister to see what he thinks."
