Chapter 68 Unrest between the two countries (2)
Chapter 68: The two countries are in turmoil (2)
The Sun family established its capital in Jiangnan. After several changes, Jianye is still in a prosperous scene. I don’t know when the capital will be moved again, but people are only concerned about the present. Sun Jin’s army was on his way back, but his family had long been thrown into the death row. No one stood up to propose how to deal with Sun Lin, and no one discussed how to save the Sun family. The family members of the entire Jiangnan family were watching this battle.
Lord Wu Sun Liang is the emperor of Jiangnan and the king of a country; General Sun Qian is the powerful minister, and is above ten thousand people. This is a dangerous game for subordinates to challenge superiors, but it seems that it is very likely to succeed at present. The reason is nothing more than the word strength.
In addition to Shi Ji from Jingzhou, the entire Wu State's military strength was under the control of Sun Chen. The Kyoto of Wu State was only 5,000 soldiers, most of which were newly incorporated old Sun family members. With a huge gap in military strength, no one was optimistic about Sun Liang. But in the imperial city, no one was willing to stand up and rely on Sun Chen. No matter who became emperor, he would eventually rely on the gentry's lords to control the country.
Sun Liang looked calm and composed, and went to court to handle government affairs every day, not as calm as a 16-year-old boy. The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building, and the ministers in the court were worried. Seeing Sun Liang's style, they became suspicious. After thinking about it, they came to the conclusion that perhaps it was Master Wu who pretended to be calm.
Just calm down and calm, what should come will come in the end, and it cannot be avoided, and it cannot be ignored. The hundreds of thousands of people who were angry and rushed to the cap can not be solved by pretending to be calm. Those who are interested will find that there are fewer people in the court, but the arrangement in the city shows that there are no signs of mobilizing troops.
The city gates are as usual, and there is no precaution for combat preparation. Even if it comes from Sun Lin's eyes and ears, they can leave after collecting the news. Jianye City is like Master Wu Sun Liang, without any defense, and does not know what to face if they are going to face.
Sun Liang was in a mysterious posture, and Sun Chen was a little puzzled. He repeatedly thought about the details of all aspects and compared the strength of the two sides, and finally came to only one conclusion. Master Wu, Sun Liang, was bluffing and deploying a suspicion array to delay time, and took this opportunity to mobilize troops from Jingzhou.
Shi Ji was a loyal minister with no other intention to the Wu Kingdom, otherwise he would not have inherited Lu Xun's mansion to defend Jingzhou. Although Sun Jing was powerful, he knew that he was not popular, especially the aristocratic families had a hostile attitude towards him. What everyone feared was the military power in his hands, not Sun Jing himself.
If Sun Liang summoned Shi Ji back to the rescue, Shi Ji was loyal to Wu and even lost the entire Jingzhou. At present, the Eastern Wu has the highest reputation and the most capable general who can fight is probably this Shi Ji. You must not wait until the Jingzhou army arrives, and you will attack Jianye before that!
There are enemies and relatives in Jianye City. The four younger brothers and five young families were all killed in death row. When the troops were at the city, would Sun Liang use his family as hostages to threaten him?
Some people say that the power of role models is infinite, and it confirms the sentence of not knowing the authenticity. It is not only Master Wu, Sun Liang, but also Master Wei, Cao Mao.
Although Wei and Shu were different from each other and cut off exchanges, the news was unseparable. During the Eastern War, Wei did not ignore a series of changes in Sichuan. Cao Mao and Sima Zhao gave Liu Chan a high evaluation. When Huang Hao and Chen Fu were tyrannical, the military and political affairs of the Shu Han were still balanced. After Huang Hao was abolished, the forces of all parties in Sichuan were still in a balanced state. The Chen Fu family, who seemed to be in the prime of the world, did not get any actual benefits. Instead, Liu Chan took the opportunity to gather power. If he knew the situation, Chen Fu was still an indispensable role. Unfortunately, Chen Fu was too addicted to power and ruined his reputation. Shu Han thus evolved into a situation where Liu Chan was tyrannical.
Being able to let go and retract is a reflection of the ability of a monarch. If Liu Chan doesn't make a sound, he will make a big splash. This is Sima Zhao's evaluation of Liu Chan. Cao Mao, the leader of Wei, has different views. Liu Chan's actions have brought the advantages of the emperor to the extreme. If you follow Liu Chan's story, can you defeat the Sima family?
On the way back to Xuchang, Cao Mao sat quietly in the car and was silent all the way. No one paid attention to the movements of the Emperor of Cao Wei. Everyone's energy was devoted to Sima Zhao. Where would the Sima family, who was already the peak of power, be pushed to after making this contribution?
Back in Xuchang, Cao Mao, the Emperor of Wei, became the busiest person. The details of the reward for quelling this rebellion were presented one by one. As the Emperor of Wei, all Cao Mao had to do was stamp the emperor's seal. This was just to show it to himself. The actual reward was decided by Sima Zhao.
During the campaign against Shouchun, Sima Zhao's army was stationed in Qiutou. In order to demonstrate Sima Zhao's martial arts, Cao Mao ordered the change of Qiutou to become Wuqiu to commemorate this great victory. The Sima family members also instigated the court, hoping to be named Sima Zhao as the Duke.
This may be Sima Zhao's meaning, or it may be just a means used by Sima's followers to flatter the master. As the lord of a country, Cao Mao could not ignore the reality in front of him. If he did not entrust, he would anger Sima Zhao. If he entrust, what is the dignity of the Wei family?
Even if he is alone without any power, Cao Mao wants to show something different. Someone will be content to be a puppet emperor, but it will definitely not be himself. There is no loyalty in the court, and people only have Sima Zhao and no Emperor of Wei. There is nothing worse than this. Today's situation is not caused by Cao Mao, but Cao Mao must bear this humiliation.
If you think about it carefully, the royal family seemed to have lost any dignity. So Cao Mao planned to entrust Sima Zhao as Duke of Jin, add nine xi, and advance to the prime minister. He gave Sima Zhao 700 miles of land in Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Leping, Xinxing, Yanmen, Hedong, Pingyang, and 700 miles.
Unexpectedly, Sima Zhao did not accept it, but instead refused the reward. Cao Mao felt very bored and helpless. Who didn't know the Sima family's intentions at this time? But Sima Zhao wanted to archways, and Emperor Wei also wanted to fulfill it. Otherwise, it would be a mistake to be said to be a reward of Sima Zhao because he was not sincerely rewarded.
Surprisingly, Sima Zhao refused nine times, and this is really unacceptable. Cao Mao was completely angry. Since he was unintentional to be granted, why should he let his followers play in the court? Seeing Sima Zhao enjoying it very much, Cao Mao dared not speak out, so he could only swallow his anger.
Sun Lin led 30,000 Wu troops to Jianye day and night, preparing to seize Jianye City first, so as not to have too many dreams. General Ding Feng, the general of Tiger Power, Lu Kang, followed Sun Feng. Sun Jing's own military capabilities were insufficient, but he also knew that only a general like Ding Feng, who had a very experienced experience, could do it.
Before he arrived in Jianye, an incident occurred in the camp. Except for Sun Chen's more than 3,000 personal soldiers, the other more than 20,000 Wu troops, led by Ding Feng and Lu Kang, actually mutinized and surrounded Sun Lin's army. After being shocked, he was furious because Sun Lin saw Taichang Quanshang standing by Ding Feng and Lu Kang.
Before he knew it, the generals around him were instigated, which was something Sun Lin never expected. The four brothers were not in the army, so their control over the army naturally decreased. In addition, Sun Jing was unpopular and forced the Northern Expedition and returned in vain. The army had long had an opinion on Sun Jing.
The Lord of Wu, Sun Liang, ordered all the generals to command Sun Jing in the name of the emperor. Who would have disobeyed the emperor's will? The 100,000 Wu troops who were loyal to the country were also summoned by the emperor. General Liu Cheng was summoned by the emperor. However, he successfully seized the 100,000 troops.
Sun Chi's arrogance is limited to the Sun Chi clan and does not represent all classes of the Wu Kingdom. This may be Sun Chi's most fatal weakness.
Skilled and calculating are often used to describe an old guy who is very calculating and can hide it. Sima Zhao is such a person. Sima Zhao's power will not increase much because he is named Duke Jin. Duke Jin represents fame and a manifestation of the royal family bowing their heads. As long as he proposes to reward himself as Duke Jin again, Sima Zhao will not retreat. After giving up nine times, the play is already done very well.
When I arrived at Emperor Cao Mao of Wei, I felt that the play was too much. I was rejected nine times in a row. Now, looking at the meaning of the Sima clan members, it seems that there will be a tenth time. This is to let myself knock on the ground. From now on, can I still raise my head in front of the Sima clan?
After a few days, Duke Jin's affairs were still spreading in the court, but Emperor Cao Mao of Wei lost his actions. Emperor Wei did not react, and the Sima family members did not make any decision. Sima Zhao in the court was arbitrary and exercised the emperor's rights. Cao Mao became a spectator on the dragon throne, and his heart was very clear. This was Sima Zhao's retaliation against himself. If you are Duke Jin, the situation will improve? Ask yourself, Cao Mao didn't believe it would be like this.
There were not many ministers around him who could entrust him, including King Shen of the Shizhong, King Ye of the Sanqi Changshi, and King Jing of the Shangshu. After counting, only these three people could discuss matters. Cao Mao decided to summon the three people to the palace to discuss first. At this time, the eunuchs outside came to report, and Jia Chong, the Central Guard, surrounded the palace with his men!
What followed was a large number of Sima clan members, who were aggressive but still followed etiquette. The purpose was very simple. I hope that Emperor Cao Mao of Wei could continue to reward the general. The general worked hard and made great contributions, worked hard for the construction of the country, and his mouth was worn out, and his body was almost damaged. Your Majesty, if you don’t move, you will neglect everyone’s hearts. The generals are treated like this. Why are we fighting to the death for? Isn’t it for the world of Cao Wei?
After this person finished speaking, another person jumped out and shouted loudly. He looked like he was injected with chicken blood, as if he didn't pay him a huge sum of money. The person who jumped high still hadn't stopped crying, and another person cried down there. Cao Mao looked at the man's face and gave people a feeling of sadness like a dead father. He wiped his tears while screaming. How could the country become like this? The meritorious minister cannot get the reward. This is a sign of the destruction of the country! The person who beats his chest and stamps his feet has not finished playing, and the one next to him has stopped doing it. "Peng" knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, and there was bloodstain after a few strokes. He didn't say a word, but the posture and momentum all told Cao Mao that he must obey everyone's advice.
At this moment, Cao Mao felt dizzy and his faces were lingering in his mind. Cao Mao wanted to laugh, he was so naive, so stupid and naive. He was surrounded by such slanderous ministers. Even if he expelled Sima and restored the world of Cao Wei, what could these people do?
