Chapter 1735 Receiving the Imperial Decree Sun Quan Difficult
"Since the first year of Zhongping, when troops wiped out the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the 18 princes of Zhongjing fought against Dong, received an imperial edict to rebel against Cao, joined forces with Wu in Chibi to fight against Cao, entered Xichuan, and raised troops for the Northern Expedition. In retrospect, there have been four years. After ten years, I finally returned to Chang'an and saw the hope of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty." After worshiping at the Taimiao, Liu Bei summoned a group of ministers for a banquet, recalling his various experiences over the years, unconsciously bursting into tears , these years are really not easy.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Zhao Yun and other courtiers who followed Liu Bei to conquer the world in the early years were full of emotions, and some of them who were emotionally weak also cried with Liu Bei; even Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang Those who came later also had red eye circles, yes, these years have been really difficult.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty's heroic majesty, the ancestors of the great Han Dynasty, are blessed by the spirit of heaven. Now we have recovered Chang'an and Luoyang, and half of the world has belonged to me. It is only a matter of time before Cao Cao destroys Wu and unifies the world. Come, everyone, drink this cup to the full. Congratulations to His Majesty, Congratulations to the great man!" Zhuge Liang raised his wine glass and drank it down with red eyes.
Today, what he said in Longzhong in the past will soon become a reality, and Zhuge Liang's lifelong ambition will also be realized. Everything he has done for the Shu Han is destined to be remembered in history, and he is also very excited now.
"Congratulations to the great man!" Liu Bei and the others raised their wine glasses together and said after drinking their fill, "When the world is unified in the future, I will rebuild the Yuntai. You can also take pictures on it and be admired by all ages!"
Liu Bei also began to promise benefits. As long as you continue to work hard, in the future, you will also win wealth in front of you and glory in death like Feng Yi, Cen Peng and others under Emperor Guangwu in the past.
The ministers were overjoyed when they heard the words. They followed Liu Bei and wandered around for decades. Apart from the passion in their hearts, isn't that what they did for it? They got Liu Bei's promise today, so they are naturally happy.
After a night of drinking, most of the officials were drunk. It was not until the third day that Liu Bei reconvened the officials and came to the dilapidated Chang'an Palace to discuss the next arrangement.
Zhuge Liang and Shen Long thought the same, "Now that Cao Wei is newly defeated, but still occupies the natural danger of the Yellow River, we still have to restore the prosperity of Chang'an, Luoyang, Xudu and other places in the past, and build ships to cross the river. I am afraid that we will not be able to go north for a while; On the other hand, the Jingzhou navy has been completed, and the Soochow navy has not recovered from the previous defeat of Sun Wu. It is better to take this opportunity to go down the river, break through Jianye, and wipe out the eighty-one counties of the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River, so as to cut off the interference for the future Northern Expedition. "
"However, before the Northern Expedition, if Sun Quan had not obstructed it, it is expected that Chang'an and Luoyang would not have been delayed for so long before they were defeated; Sun Quan was capricious, Wei Qiang assisted Han, and Han Qiang assisted Wei. If there is another Northern Expedition in the future, Sun Quan will definitely commit another crime. Jingzhou, since this is the case, it is better to strike first, and take advantage of Cao Wei's recovery, and wipe out Soochow in one fell swoop!" Shen Long echoed.
Guan Yu, Ma Liang and other Jingzhou civil and military officials all agreed. Guan Yu even took the initiative to ask for a battle, asking to lead Jingzhou infantry to attack Changsha, Jiangxia, Chaisang and other places. Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Shi Tao also agreed.
Liu Bei also considered the same, but he still had concerns, "Everything you say is right, but before Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to seek peace as an envoy, I have made an old agreement with Sun Quan, and agreed that the two families will be good friends and will not fight any more. , there is no change in Soochow now, and it is about to send troops south, which seems to be suspected of treachery."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much, this matter is easy!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said, "Sun Quan, the king of Wu whom His Majesty canonized is also a subject of my great man, and now the return of the great Han court to the old capital of Chang'an is a great joyous event for the whole world to celebrate All the ministers from all over the world should come to Chang'an to congratulate, and His Majesty can spread the imperial decree to invite important ministers from all over the world to come to Chang'an."
"If Sun Quan agrees, after he comes, he will be promoted to a noble and treat him favorably, and he will be honored for the rest of his life, and he will stay in Chang'an; if he does not agree, he will be disrespectful and disrespectful, and it is only natural to attack him like this! "In this case, it doesn't matter whether Sun Quan comes or not,
Righteousness and fame are all on the court's side.
"Prime Minister, this is a great plan!" Everyone praised together, yes, Sun Quan accepted Liu Bei's canonization before, although he is actually an independent separatist force, but in name he is still the King of Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there is such a relationship Now, there is no need to worry about the issue of righteousness and name, the imperial court has always been reasonable.
So Liu Bei ordered Qin Mi, a scholar, to write an imperial decree and take it to Jianye for reading. Qin Mi left Chang'an, left Ziwu Valley and went to Danshui, and then went down the river all the way to Jianye.
Now the Shu Han has newly acquired Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, and their prestige is booming. When they heard that the Shu Han envoys were coming, Sun Quan dared not be sloppy, and hurriedly sent Zhang Wen and others out of the city to welcome them. After reading it, Sun Quan and others turned pale when they heard it.
Want me to go to Chang'an? Can you come back here? He knew that Liu Bei had always been benevolent, and he would definitely not harm his own life, but being a rich and idle person in Chang'an, how much better would it be to be the Lord of the Eastern Wu in Jianye?
"King Wu still hasn't accepted the decree?" After reading the imperial decree, seeing that Sun Quan hadn't responded for a long time, Qin Mi urged with a cold snort.
"The bachelor has worked hard all the way, please go down and rest for now. My lord has been feeling unwell recently, and it won't be too late to recover when she gets better." Zhuge Jin hurriedly dealt with Qin Mi.
Qin Mi also knew that Sun Quan would definitely not accept the order easily, and Zhuge Jin was Zhuge Liang's elder brother, so he gave him this face and followed Zhuge Jin back to the posthouse.
After Zhuge Jin settled Qin Mi, she hurried back. Seeing that Lu Xun, Zhang Wen, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and other important officials of Eastern Wu were frowning, this imperial decree put them in a dilemma.
Any of them could see that if Sun Quan went to Chang'an, he would definitely not be able to return, and without Sun Quan, Eastern Wu would be nothing more than a mess of loose sand, and the Shu Han could easily defeat them one by one, but if they didn't go, then the Shu Han would make a big move In the name of marching troops, Soochow still couldn't stop it.
"When the Shu Han envoys came, I said that my lord should not be the King of Wu. If I had followed my advice back then, how could I have ended up where I am today?" Zhang Wen began to sarcasm again.
"If there was no title of King of Wu, the Shu Han would have entered the army long ago!" Zhuge Jin retorted, without this title, the Shu Han and Soochow would have a serious hostile relationship.
Seeing Zhang Wen and Zhuge Jin quarreling, Sun Quan felt a headache again, and then Ding Feng joined the battle group again, "My lord, don't worry too much. If the Shu army comes, they will never come back."
"General Ding, you may be able to withstand the prohibitive giant ship?" Zhang Wen's words made Ding Feng speechless.
