After Jiang Wan arrived, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. This time the new emperor abdicates the throne. This is the prime minister's suggestion before his death." Liu Chan was still worried and continued: "We have a good relationship. I hope you can follow me. Tell the truth.”
Jiang Wan nodded and said: "The late emperor was not halfway through his business. Before his death, he entrusted the important affairs to Prime Minister Kong Ming. The prime minister traveled from Qishan to the Central Plains. However, he was destined to return and finally died with hatred. At that time, the new emperor Yu Yi became the Taoyuan Three Brothers. One of the brothers with a very high reputation. At the same time, everyone was dissatisfied with what the king did in front of the late emperor. In order to maintain the stability of Xishu, Yu Yi proclaimed himself emperor. However, the prime minister sighed every time, and he crusaded against the Central Plains to revive it. The Han Dynasty was the reason. However, the new emperor was not a descendant of the Han Dynasty, so he was criticized by everyone. According to public opinion, now the new emperor Yu Yi is willing to abdicate the throne in order to better lead the troops to conquer the Central Plains, and also to re-establish the status of the Han Dynasty in the hearts of the people, so that the name can be justified and the people will support it."
After hearing this, Liu Chan was filled with admiration and said: "The new emperor's mind is beyond my comparison."
Soon the envoy went to Chengdu and brought Liu Chan to Nanjun in Jingzhou, which started the mode of abdication. Yu Yi handed the jade seal to Liu Chan and said: "Congratulations on your majesty's enthronement. I must do my best to recover the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty! "
Liu Chan was very surprised after hearing this. He quickly stepped forward to help him, turned around and said to everyone: "Although Yu Yi is the prime minister, he is equal to me. From now on, all the affairs of Xishu will be decided by Yu Yi." After saying this, he issued an edict on the spot. , as evidence.
Yu Yi just smiled. In fact, although he abdicated the throne, he would not be defenseless. After all, the military and political power was in his hands. If Liu Chan wanted to harm himself, then he would be like Emperor Xian of Han in front of Cao Cao. If you can't make it through the waves, you will also fall and break your head.
The concubines in the harem did not understand the important matter of Zen's resignation. Some women who worshiped power began to move around, and some even blatantly seduced Liu Chan. With the previous lessons, Liu Chan had to be more honest and report the matter directly to Yu Yi. After hearing this, Yu Yi was furious and asked Liu Chan to figure out what to do.
Liu Chan ordered all those women to be beheaded as a warning. From then on, they all became peaceful. Although Liu Chan was the emperor, he had no military or political power. He was just a bare commander. On many matters, he had to go to Yu Yi personally. Asked for instructions, and Yu Yi was polite.
So Liu Chan, as the emperor, was in Chengdu, and Yu Yi, as the prime minister, was in Jingzhou Nanqun, maintaining the previous model unchanged.
Neither Sun Quan of Eastern Wu nor Cao Rui of Wei could figure out what Yu Yi was thinking. They discussed with the ministers in the palace, but in the end they couldn't come up with any reason.
After all the preparations were in place, Yuyi sent an envoy to Jiangdong with a letter, stating his intention in his heart and explaining why he decided to abdicate. At the same time, he hoped that Soochow could send troops and horses to fight with all their strength. Go out and set up formations in Chaohu and Jiangdu. If you are able, attack Wei to gain land. If not, retreat to the border to create a deterrent effect for Wei. As for the Jingzhou South Group, they will attack from Jingzhou Nanjun and Xiangyang. Send troops to attack Fancheng and Xinye all the way, and there will be a large-scale battle. As for Western Shu, Jiang Wei is sent as a general to go out from Qishan to attack Luoyang.
Sun Quan was a little scared when he saw this formation. He didn't expect Yu Yi to have such ambitions. He immediately discussed it with the ministers. Some ministers believed that Yu Yi was preparing to unify the Central Plains. If the Wei Kingdom was destroyed, Soochow would be close to being destroyed. Far.
So Sun Quan fell into hesitation, and the letter was not replied for a long time, and the envoy also did not return to Jiangdong.
Yu Yi then summoned Jiang Wei to him and asked, "What do you think will happen to Soochow?"
Jiang Wei said: "If the Prime Minister and I send troops from two directions, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on the Wei State. In addition, I heard that Sima Yi went on an expedition to Liaodong. With Gongsun Yuan's rebellion, the Wei State can make enemies on three sides. This is our goal." opportunity, but Soochow has not taken action for a long time because it is afraid that if we achieve complete victory in the Central Plains and destroy the Wei State, then the Wu State will be in danger."
Yu Yi nodded and said, "You have the same idea as me, so do we want to raise an army now?"
Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said: "I have been fighting with Prime Minister Kong Ming for many years, and I have always known that Soochow has no other ambitions. When Lu Xun was there, the sneak attack on Xiangyang happened. Now the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, and it cannot be captured in a short time."
This sentence completely reminded Yu Yi, and he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then we should proceed according to this plan. I already have a good idea in mind."
After Jiang Wei returned to Xishu, he reported the situation to Liu Chan. Liu Chan ascended the throne and became the new queen. She was a little distracted and had fun in the palace every day. Of course, Yu Yi also selected some close ministers to serve. What he reported to Jiang Wei Not interested at all, he just waved his hand and said: "Everything should be done according to the Prime Minister's wishes!"
After hearing this, Jiang Wei felt helpless and left slowly, thinking in his mind that the new emperor Yu Yi abdicated the throne. Is this right or wrong?
Soon the Shu Kingdom announced to the outside world that Xiangyang of Jingzhou sent 200,000 troops to attack Fancheng, and Nanjun of Jingzhou sent 200,000 troops to attack the Central Plains. The Xiangyang team was coached by Yu Yi, while the opponent of Jingzhou Nanjun was coached by Huang Shumin. As for the Xishun team, On the border, Jiang Wei inherited the legacy of Marquis Wu and raised 300,000 troops. He sent troops from Hanzhong and then out of Qishan. The momentum was so great that the borders of Wei and Shu were shaken.
It is said that Sima Yi left the city and sent Hu Zun as the vanguard. He quickly came to Liaodong with the front troops and set up camp. Suddenly, he came to report that Gongsun Yuan sent Bei Yan and Yang Zuo led 80,000 troops to garrison the Liao Tunnel. After traveling for more than twenty miles, they were surrounded by antlers very tightly. Hu Zun sent someone to report to Sima Yi. After hearing this, Sima Yi laughed and said: "The bandits don't fight with us because they want to avoid the sharp edge of our army. I estimate that most of the bandits are In this place, their lair is empty. It is better for us to abandon this place and attack Xiangping directly. Then the thieves will definitely go back to rescue them. If we carry out a sneak attack on their way back, we will definitely win a complete victory." So he sent them. The soldiers marched towards Xiangping from the small road.
Bei Yan discussed with Yang Zuo and said: "If the Wei army comes to attack us, let's not fight first. They come from a very far away place, and the food and grass cannot keep up. It is difficult to fight for a long time. When the food is exhausted, they will retreat." , when they have no morale to retreat, we attack again, then Sima Yi will be captured by us. Sima Yi and He also used this method to deal with Kong Ming, the Prime Minister of Shu. At that time, he had been holding on, and Kong Ming had no chance, and finally he will Kong Ming died, and the way we are now is the same as back then."
After the two discussed it, they felt that the plan was good, and they were about to have a drink to celebrate. Suddenly, a soldier came to report that the Wei army had gone directly to the south.
Bei Yan was very surprised, and then he came to his senses and said: "Sima Yi must have known that our Xiangping soldiers had gone to sneak attack our base camp. If Xiangping is lost, then there is no use for us to guard here!"
