Although the Yuan Cong faction does not have an advantage among civil servants, it has a high proportion in the sequence of military officers. Lan Tian guessed that Liu Bei should have thought deeply about this list.
Liu Bei had few children and his clan was declining, so it was normal not to set up Zongzheng in Jiuqing, but he didn't understand why Da Siong didn't have one either, so he closed the letter paper and asked Yiji for advice: "Uncle Ji, is Jiuqing not full, or letter paper Is there no transcript?"
Yi Ji replied with a smile: "Your Majesty's descendants are still young, so there is no Zongzheng, and the Da Si Nong is related to the Fujun."
"Me?" Lan Tian pointed to himself.
Yi Ji nodded and said: "Your Majesty thinks that Da Sinong must be the lord of the government, but now you have important matters to do and it is inconvenient to enter the court as an official, so this position is temporarily vacant."
Da Si Nong is in charge of the country's money, food, finance and taxation. Maybe Liu Bei thinks that Lantian is good at food, and he doesn't know if he can be the "finance minister". Should be able to do a job with ease.
"Uh...that's okay..." Lan Tian nodded, and then asked: "I didn't go to Chang'an to celebrate His Majesty's ascension to the throne, and I don't know what happened on August [-]th? It should be very lively when His Majesty comes to the world, right?"
Yiji replied excitedly: "Your Majesty rebuilt the Ancestral Temple in Chang'an. On August [-]th, he sacrificed at the Ancestral Temple, and then moved to Weiyang Palace to enshrine the edict of Liu Xie's Zen throne and proclaim himself emperor. The name of the country was Han, and it was changed to Yuan Zhangwu. , the common people spontaneously came to pay their respects outside the palace, it was indeed very lively."
"It's a pity that I didn't catch up..." Lan Tian shook his head lightly.
Yiji suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Your Majesty said before he left that he had an agreement with the Fujun on Mount Tai. When the time comes, you will go all over the world and wait until we set off together. You and Your Majesty are going on a safari at Mount Tai? "
"Hehe, almost." Lan Tianxin said that it was Feng Chan, and it seemed that Liu Bei had already remembered it in his heart. Seeing Yiji's suspicious face, he changed the topic and continued to ask: "Your Majesty's princes..."
Yi Ji patted his head fiercely: "Look at my memory, the most important thing I almost forgot to say is that Your Majesty pursued Queen Gan as Empress, Crown Prince Liu Chan was established as Crown Prince, Liu Yong was named King of Lu, and Liu Li was named King of Liang... "
"Gongzhong, he..." Lantian hesitated to speak, he took the initiative to mention Liu Feng, but he didn't understand what Liu Bei was thinking.
Historically, Liu Feng died of politics, because Zhuge Liang couldn't deal with Liu Bei's death. Liu Chan's status in this plane is very stable, and there should be no worries about Liu Feng endangering the imperial power. From the point of view of his promotion to the rank of Tunqi Captain, it seems that he doesn't want to abandon it. Use this righteous son.
Yiji explained: "After the Nanxiang Wuguan passage was opened, Gong Zhong then went to Chang'an to congratulate His Majesty on his enthronement. His Majesty once encouraged him to share the country's worries like Cao Zhen, so in terms of title..."
"I understand." Lan Tian interrupted Yi Ji, expressing that he understood.
The Cao family clan is very powerful. Cao Zhen can be reused as the adopted son of Cao Cao, but he has not been entrusted with the title of princes and kings. On the other hand, Liu Bei's clan is weak, but with the help of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the Lan family, outsiders should not With too many ideas, Liu Bei's decision is probably the best ending for Liu Feng.
Chapter 866 The King of Wu Comes Alright
After learning about the situation in Chang'an, Lan Tian asked Gan Ning to prepare a banquet, hoping to have a good reunion with old friends.
When the banquet was held, Mi Fang, Quan Cong and others would come into the city, and when they saw Yi Ji, they all came forward to greet and greet, while Lan Tian took the initiative to introduce Quan Cong, Zhu Ju and other Eastern Wu generals one by one.
After seeing it, Yiji nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that it was still Lantian's high ability to take away the soldiers of the Eastern Wu. It is estimated that Sun Quan has not many available people. It seems that the collection of Jiangdong is just around the corner. territory.
Quan Cong learned that Yi Ji was a close minister of Liu Bei, and toasted many times at the banquet to express his closeness.
Yi Ji drank happily, and suggested with a smile: "I will return to the capital soon to report to my command. Your Majesty probably wants to meet the handsome men from Jiangdong. Who would like to go back with me?"
Zhang Cheng, Quan Cong, Zhu Ju and others looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they temporarily surrendered to Lantian, they were still very worried about Jianye's situation. Yiji's intention was originally good, but these surrendered generals were beating drums in their hearts.
"Mr. Uncle Ji, Jiangdong is still undecided, and you still need the help of the generals. After Jiangdong is completely settled, I will personally take them back to Beijing to see them?" Lan Tian saw what everyone was thinking, and immediately rescued the generals.
"Uh...Since Fu Jun has other arrangements, it's another matter." Lan Tian tried to persuade him to stay, but Yi Ji naturally wouldn't insist.
"How long does Uncle Ji plan to stay in Chaisang?" Lan Tian continued to ask.
Yiji thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, let me see the son-in-law before leaving. I will return after Boyang arrives in Chaisang and talk. When is the Fujun going to fully recover Jiangdong?"
"Boyang led the army to stay behind, but the governor of Su sent more ships, and they can come to Chaisang to meet up in two or three days. I guess I will take the boat to Jianye at about the same time as you. Do you want to go with me, Uncle Ji? "Lan Tian made an invitation.
Yi Ji quickly waved his hand: "I don't know anything about military affairs, and it's a burden to follow the past. I'd better wait for the Fujun to wipe out Jiangdong, and then I will ask His Majesty to award meritorious officials."
"Well, I don't think it will take too much time." Lan Tian nodded slightly.
Zhang Cheng, Quan Cong, Zhu Ju and other generals drank silently, and lamented that Liu Bei's camp was too harmonious. Like Yi Ji, who claimed to be a burden, he was unwilling to follow him to the front line to gain merit. It is impossible to defeat the Han army head-on.
In the conversation just now, Lan Tian revealed the specific time of the expedition. The generals of the Eastern Wu Dynasty felt sad for the old master Sun Quan, and wondered if Sun Quan was still waiting for the letter?In Chaisang, someone sent a letter of "reporting victory" every two days. Sun Quan was probably living in fantasy every day, but in fact Sun Quan was not that embarrassing.
Gan Ning followed Lan Yuan's method in Chaisang, and asked Zhang Cheng to fabricate a letter of victory and send it to Ruxu the next day. At first, Sun Quan was really happy for a while, until Lu Xun's words woke him up. Why didn't the general write the battle report himself?Instead, it should be summarized by Zhang Cheng?In addition, since Jianye closed the city, Jianye's regular supply of materials to Ruxu has also stopped.
After hearing this, Sun Quan also instinctively noticed the strangeness, so he left Lu Xun to continue guarding Ruxuwu before and after he was stationed in Yichun in Lantian, and returned to Jianye with Jie Fanwei.
When the Jiefanwei warship arrived at Jianye Port, the pier was empty like a wasteland. Sun Quan immediately frowned: "What is Zecheng doing? No wonder Ruxu couldn't receive the supplies, and there wasn't even a Lauf at the port."
"General Yu was originally a trafficker, and the king entrusted him with important military affairs. Will it make him unable to catch up?" Zhuge Jin stroked his needs to analyze.
Master Sima knew Hu Ke's ability, and saw that Zhuge Jin was also "adding insult to injury", so he stood up and complained, "General Yu is not an ordinary businessman, my son thinks he is more than enough to lead Jie Fanwei's left, foster father, before we leave, You put Marquis Quan (Zhang Zhao) and General Yu in charge of Jianye’s military administration, so Mr. Zibu has some arrangements?”
Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and nodded. Based on his understanding of Hu Ke for many years, he did not believe that the other party could not even handle this matter well, so he whispered: "Zi Bu's personality is as straight as fire, so it is possible that he and Gu and Zhang A conflict between the two families? That's why Gu didn't want to use him as prime minister."
"General Yu has always been astute and considerate. If the civil servants are really arguing, Cheng should be able to solve it very well. In short, we will all understand after entering the city." Hu Zong said, clasping his fists.
"Wei Ze is right. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to go back to the city and ask for clarification, and order the battalions to assemble quickly." Sun Quan nodded and ordered.
"Wei." Hu Zong clasped his fists.
During the assembly of Jiefanwei, Sun Quan could have led several hundred warriors first, but his "cautious" character made him choose to wait, and Hu Zong chose to set off after gathering [-] soldiers.
The wharf is only five or six miles away from Jianye City. It feels strange to walk on the empty official road. There are countless pedestrians and trucks that come and go to the wharf. Why is it somehow different?
Everyone had doubts on their faces, Sun Quan's face was full of solemnity, but he was dull and silent all the way.
After Jianye was completely blocked by Hu Ke, there were usually only a few teams of scouts going to and from the wharf. Those who needed to enter Jianye to do business stayed in the countryside after bumping into a few walls, so the official road was temporarily deserted.
Sun Quan walked to the east gate of Jianye and saw the banners on the city waving in the wind, but the city gate was tightly closed. He frowned and turned to look to the side. Hu Zong understood that he would lead a group of soldiers to call for the gate.
"Who is on duty today, why did you close the city gate so early? Your Majesty is here, quickly open the city gate to welcome you." Hu Zong's soldiers shouted loudly.
Seeing that there was no response, Hu Zong asked the guards to continue shouting, and only after shouting three times did anyone walk to the top of the wall.
"What is the name of a ghost?" Jin Zong looked at Hu Zong under the city coldly.
Hu Zong's eyes widened, and he thought that you Jinzong is just a general, how dare you put up a score in front of me?He hurried forward and shouted sharply: "Jinzong, the King of Wu is coming back, how dare you speak rudely? Why don't you open the city gate quickly? If you are late, it will not be easy to be held accountable..."
Jin Zong replied playfully: "It turns out that it is General Hu, the governor of Xiefanwei, you are really majestic, so what if it is not simple? Besides, there is no King Wu in the world? It is just a charity from the traitor Cao Pi, how can you still treat it as a piece of money?" treasure?"
"Jinzong, how dare you be presumptuous?" Hu Zong was furious.
Sun Quan realized that the situation was wrong, so he walked slowly to Hu Zong, and when he heard the harsh words in the city, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Jin Zong, Gu really underestimated you before, and I feel wronged to let you be a general." , let’s open the city gate first.”
"Open the city gate? How is that possible? Mr. Zibu has led all his officials to surrender to the King of Hanzhong. Jianye is no longer yours. If you want it, you can take it yourself." Jinzong sneered and waved his hands, a row of soldiers held bows and arrows Facing Sun Quan, he didn't give Wei Wu Wang any face at all.
Sun Quan looked at Hu Zong in a bewildered expression, wondering what did Jin Zong say just now?Zhang Zhao led his officials to vote for Liu Bei?If you want to enter Jianye now, you have to enter?
"My lord, this..." Hu Zong was embarrassed.
Sun Quan's mind was running wildly for a short time, and he couldn't believe what Jin Zong said. In addition, his mental quality was really good, so he calmed down quickly, and asked continuously in a vigorous voice: "It's really interesting, how long has the orphan been away from Jianye? You and Zhang Zhao also voted for Liu Bei? Where is Zhang Zhao? Where is Yu Xiu? Tell them to come out and see me immediately."
"King Wu, are you here all right?"
Just a moment after Sun Quan finished speaking, Zhang Zhao, a hale and hearty man, walked up to Jinzong and bowed to Sun Quan with his fists folded. It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time.
Chapter 867 Zhang Zhao angered Sun Zhongmou
"Zibu, what Jinzong said just now is..." Sun Quan frowned and hesitated to speak.
Zhang Zhao nodded lightly: "King Wu, you might as well surrender. There is no point in struggling. Anyway, surrendering Wei and Han is the same."
"You bastard, why do you treat yourself so well?" Sun Quan gritted his teeth angrily.
Zhang Zhao was calm and composed, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and answered calmly: "Wu Wenze (Wu Fan) is good at observing the sky. He has recently observed the bright stars in the west, which seems to be a sign of the dragon's prosperity. Since Liu Xuande's destiny belongs to him, It’s all about falling early and falling late.”
"You...you actually betrayed your orphan because of the celestial phenomenon? Where is Yu Zecheng?" Sun Quan screamed frantically.
Zhang Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Yu Xiu is ignorant of current affairs, and I have used my tricks to get rid of him. Now Jianye has fallen from top to bottom. The old man remembered the old friendship and did not embarrass the king's family."
"Yu Xiu was punished? How is it possible?" Sun Quan looked at Hu Zong with disbelief.
Hu Zong is also at a loss now, wondering if Zhuge Jin's analysis is right, is this person really flashy?However, Zhang Zhao had a lot of experience in leading troops, so he didn't think Zhang Zhao was telling lies.
At this time, Hu Ke hid behind the wall and gave Zhang Zhao a look of approval. He must be there for such a famous scene.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhugejin and the others also urged their horses to the front. Zhugejin also understood what was going on at this time, so she was heartbroken and reasoned with Zhang Zhao: "Zibu, you are a great minister of Eastern Wu, why did you surrender so easily?" ? Even if you control the isolated city of Jianye, do you think you can hold it? If the governor or Ziheng returns to help, the city can be broken in a moment."
Zhang Zhao snorted coldly: "Ziyu, like King Wu, seems to be still living in a dream? Do you know how strong the city of Jianye is? Is Lu Boyan's army enough to see? As for the main force of Jiangdong brought by Lu Ziheng, I'm afraid it's gone now." It was wiped out by Lan Tian."
"What did you say?" Sun Quan turned pale with shock. This news was more terrifying than Jianye's fall. Lu Fan's soldiers and horses were really his family property.
"Originally there were Wu's family in three parts of the world, but King Wu is vacillating between Cao and Liu. If the two don't help each other and stick to Jiangdong, maybe they can survive for a while, but why do you want to provoke Lan Ziyu? Forgot his name Xuanxiao? To tell you the truth, luring Lu Fan to attack Guangzhou and Jingnan is actually a strategy for the other side to lure the enemy to go deeper." Zhang Zhao sighed after speaking, and then brazenly persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, saying: "Zhongmou, you did not deserve to lose. Vote."
Zhuge Jin swallowed his saliva, and he was very aware of Lantian's ability, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Ziheng commands [-] troops in Jiangdong, and the king has added [-] troops from Ruxuwu. , it is impossible to..."
"Heh, do you know that Gan Ning led his troops to defeat Chaisang just over ten days ago? Even if Lu Ziheng has 20 soldiers, if there is no follow-up supply of food and grass, what will he use to resist Lan Ziyu?" Zhang Zhao responded coldly.
"Chai Sang fell more than ten days ago? Then Zhong's heir..." Zhuge Jin asked the important point.
"Defeated and captured." Zhang Zhao replied calmly.
"Zhang Zibu actually betrayed Gu for his son? Wu Gu has favored you for so many years, are you worthy of Gu? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Sun Quan yelled.
Zhang Zhao said solemnly: "Grace is added? Is it really like this? And you need to be so angry? Have you forgotten what Bo Fu said?"
"You still have the face to mention your lonely brother?" Sun Quan's voice was a little hoarse.
"General Bo Fu asked Gu at the end of his life. He once left a sentence to the old man: "If you don't do anything, you will take it yourself. If you can't win the battle, you can go back slowly. You don't have to worry about it." Virtue, Jiangdong people have already complained, otherwise why all the officials are willing to surrender? Or look for your own reasons, without the emperor's virtue and ability, you should be content with being a prince of Taiping." Zhang Zhao's words directly made Sun Quan unable to refute.
"You..." Sun Quan pointed at Zhang Zhao's face, which was flushed with suffocation, and he couldn't make a sound from his hoarse throat, thinking that Sun Ce was just talking, but you old man actually took it seriously.
Seeing this, Hu Zong pulled out his sword and suggested to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao's heart is as hard as a stone. It's useless to talk about it. Why don't I let the soldiers try to attack the city?"
"Forget it, I don't know how many soldiers and horses that traitor has mastered. If he deliberately lured us to attack the city, wouldn't he have fallen into the tricks of the old man? Now return to the warship immediately and make a fuss." Although Sun Quan had a splitting headache, his head was still very clear.
"Father Yi is right. Jianye City is extremely strong, and we didn't prepare siege equipment. Attacking rashly will only increase casualties. We should go to Ruxuwu to move reinforcements." Master Sima also suggested to Sun Quan.
Sima Shi's words made Sun Quan look sideways, thinking that this Marquis Wu really deserved his reputation, his knowledge is so extraordinary at such a young age, it's a pity that he got it later.
"Let's go." Sun Quan glanced at Jianye unwillingly, and never came back in his life.
Sun Quan left in despair, while Hu Ke slowly walked out from behind the city wall, looking ahead thoughtfully.
"Sun Zhongmou must have gone to rescue soldiers. The general only has a few thousand soldiers in his hands. We have no way out now. Once the city is destroyed..." Zhang Zhao's face was heavy.
Hu Ke sneered and said: "According to my latest news, the Lan family and his son have trapped Lu Fan between Pingxiang and Yichun, and the main force in Jiangdong has been cut off. It is estimated that the battle will end soon, and then they will come to Jianye. "
"That's good. Sun Zhongmou may be able to raise some troops in Wujun, Kuaiji and other places, but he can't be the opponent of General Lan. It depends on what choice Lu Boyan will make." Zhang Zhao must sigh.
Hu Ke squinted his eyes, turned to Zhang Zhao and said, "Let Gu Shangshu (Gu Yong) write a letter to persuade him, and let the governor's wife and children write some family letters. After King Wu leaves the dock, I will find a way to send it to Ruxu. It depends on whether he goes to Ruxuwu to transfer troops, or returns to his hometown Wujun to recruit troops."
"Sun Zhongmou is suspicious, and Lu Xun's relatives and friends are all in Jianye, so we may not trust him at this time..." Zhang Zhao frowned.
Hu Ke smiled and nodded: "It's good to be suspicious..."
After being humiliated, Sun Quan returned to the pier, and discussed countermeasures with Zhuge Jin, Hu Zong and others. Looking at the huge Jiangdong, there were only a few people left, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart.
Sun Quan originally wanted to ask Ji Zhugejin, but he thought that he and Zhang Zhao were in-laws, and that his younger brother Zhuge Liang was an official under Liu Bei, so he asked Master Sima, Marquis of Wu.
Master Sima was flattered, but he was still able to answer calmly: "Zhang Zhao's words cannot be fully believed. I suggest that Yifu start from two aspects. One is that Liu Bei is tired from fighting Wei, and he must not want to see a death fight with Jiangdong. It is better to send an envoy. Ask Liu Bei for peace, and the other is to recall the defenders from all over the country, Qin Wang, the most urgent thing is to get Jianye back."
"Would Liu Xuande agree to Soochow's attack this time?" Although Sun Quan agreed with Master Sima's idea, he did not believe that Liu Bei would agree.
Sima Shi shook his head and smiled wryly: "Ceding land for compensation or proton, maybe it will work..."
Chapter 868 Hidden Artifacts Waiting for You to Move
As soon as Sima Shi's words fell, the others were sweating for him, because this suggestion almost slapped him in the face. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan actually became interested.
"Tell me more in detail." Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said kindly.
"Chai Sang has been captured by Gan Ning. The situation of Yuzhang and Luling counties in the west of Yangzhou is unknown. The life and death of the Jiangdong main force led by General Lu is uncertain. Why not give up Yuzhang and Luling counties? Second, Zhang Zibu coerced Jianye Group It is reasonable for the officials to raise money to atone for their sins afterwards, but as for the proton..." Master Sima dared not continue.
"Che'er is already stuck in Jianye, so I can only wrong him." Sun Quan felt that Master Sima's solution was feasible. Fortunately, Sun Deng was currently escaping the summer heat in Wu County, otherwise he would really lose his will to fight.
Sun Quan asked the crowd again, "What do you think, Qing?"
Hu Zong, Zhuge Jin and others were silent, and Sun Quan made a decisive decision when he saw this: "Now Soochow is in dire straits, and the strategy offered by Master does not miss a solution. I will write a peace letter immediately."
"Your Majesty, Yuzhang and Luling may have become a fact. Lantian is now in full swing. He has a deep grudge against us in Soochow, so he may not agree to it? Even if the negotiation requires military confrontation, I still suggest gathering troops to take it back as soon as possible. Jianye, otherwise people's hearts will disperse after a long time..." Hu Zong looked sad.
"What the general said is true. What I mean is that there is no harm in using troops. In addition, we must not negotiate with Lantian. On the one hand, we should go to Chang'an to find Liu Bei, and on the other hand, we should call troops from all over the country to Jianye Qinwang, Yuzhang, and Lu. The two counties of Lingling are not small, and it will take a long time for Lantian to take over to stabilize. During this period of time, we should be able to regain Jianye, and we can only talk about it later." Sima Shi echoed.
"Wenhou's words are very touching to my heart. Wei Ze (Hu Zong) quickly organized Xie Fanwei to board the ship, and Wenhou and Gu went back to the main ship to write a peace letter." Sun Quan liked Sima Shi more and more.
"Wei." Sima Shi and Hu Zong agreed in unison.
After Sun Quan wrote the letter of peace appeal, he called Zhuge Jin to the deck of the main ship, looked at each other for a while, and sighed: "Your younger brother is the prime minister of Liu Bei, and your love is married to Zhang Zhongsi. Qing's close relatives are already enemies of the enemy country." Man, is Ziyu still willing to be an orphan? If you have other things in mind now, I can let you go back to Jianye to reunite with your family, and it will not be in vain for us as monarchs and ministers for many years..."
After hearing this, Zhuge Jin knelt down in a hurry, and on the deck, her head was pounding like garlic, and she wept tremblingly: "I am a man, how can the king not know? Although Jin and Kong Ming are brothers, we have no personal relationship between the two officials. Regardless of the Zhang family's in-laws, if Your Majesty suspects this, I am willing to throw myself into the Yangtze River to prove my innocence."
After Zhuge Jin finished speaking, he stood up, patted his hem, and rushed towards the railing of the bow. Seeing this, Sun Quan strode forward to support him, and said respectfully, "Why is Ziyu doing this? Gu just felt a little sentimental. There are dozens of people, and now only Qing is left alone. The important task of going to Chang'an can only be entrusted to you, don't be burdened..."
"I'm so overwhelmed, I'm going to convince the King of Hanzhong, but..." Zhuge Jin cupped his hands halfway through his words, his eyes full of hesitation.
Sun Quan frowned slightly: "What worries does Ziyu have?"
"Chai Sang has been captured by Gan Ning, and I'm worried that the water of the Yangtze River will be blocked, so I won't be able to reach Chang'an at all..." Zhuge Jin lowered his head.
