Chapter 664: Curve Offensive
"Don't look at it, it's true." Wei Ba took the book, folded it carefully, and put it in his arms. "However, it is a big matter, and once it is announced, I am afraid that it will be a lot of discussion, so it can only be announced after the matter is completed. I can tell you clearly that the prime minister and the hussar general are now in contention and cooperation, and they both want to make meritorious contributions and suppress each other, so I can mediate and win such haode conditions. In the past few months, I have been communicating with the prime minister thousands of miles away, do you really think I am idle? β
"Is this true?" Sun Luban was so excited that his voice changed. As Sun Quan's beloved daughter, she knows too well how much Sun Quan wants to be the emperor. Being the emperor is not only a name, from now on an equal footing with Cao Rui and Liu Chan, but also involves rewarding his subordinates. Those people worked hard for him, didn't they just want to be prosperous and rich, and now he can give them fiefdoms and food, all kinds of benefits, but he can't give them a noble status, because he himself is just a king, and it is impossible to give them too high a title. There are very few marquis of Wu State, which is the reason. Once Sun Quan is proclaimed emperor, this zuihou obstacle will be gone, and a large number of people will be able to benefit from it.
When you die, you must not only leave a rich inheritance to your descendants, but also leave a title, so that you can be considered to have completed your merits. And this is the biggest regret of the Eastern Wu courtiers, even important ministers like Zhou Yu and Lu Su were not able to be crowned marquis before they died, because Sun Quan himself was a Marquis of Wu at that time, and his strength was seriously insufficient. It wasn't until he attacked and killed Guan Yu, took Jingzhou, and guarded the Jiangdong gateway that he named LΓΌ Meng as the Marquis of Xiaoling, and from that time on. Jiangdong's civil ministers and military generals gradually increased their talents.
"It's true, it really can't be true." Wei Ba couldn't help but smile and said: "Princess, I know that King Wu has prejudices against me, even if I take this plan to meet King Wu, King Wu will not believe me." But I believe you will be able to convince him. β
"That's that, that's." Sun Luban was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, looking at Wei Ba's chest with his eyes, eager to take out the piece of paper and take a look at it again.
Zhao Tong was much calmer, although the handwriting and seals were real, he still felt that this matter was not so simple.
"Ziyu. How are you going to unite with King Wu? β
"Joint troops." Wei Ba said lightly: "King Wu doesn't trust me. If I enter Jiangxia, I'm afraid he won't be at ease, so I'm ready to let you go under my banner. Of course. It is better to use the banner of Wu Jun. It's more hidden. If King Wu is willing to help. You and Chen Zhi conquer the three passes of Yiyang together, enter Yuzhou from there, and work together with Lu Xun to defeat Manzhong. Push the front to the north. β
He patted Zhao Tong's hand: "Now is the weakest time for the Wei State, if King Wu can cooperate with us sincerely, this is the best chance to defeat Cao Rui." If possible, he could even be killed in Nanyang. We can also make a big difference by retreating to the next best. The biggest question now is whether the two sides can trust each other. I think you have to do this important task. β
Wei Ba exhaled a breath and said: "Think about it yourself, your blow, let the prime minister seize Longyou, and actually make the Northern Expedition complete, let the hussar general take Nanyang, and win the victory, do you say that the prime minister and the hussar general can not reward you?" β
Zhao Tong's heart was pounding, Sun Luban jumped three feet high, hugged Zhao Tong's neck and laughed coquettishly, making Zhao Tong's face red and red, very embarrassed, it was not good to push her away, and it was not good not to push her away. Sun Luban didn't care about it, he was happy for a while, then turned his head again, and smiled with a pleasing smile: "You say, if it happens, what official can Boren be crowned?" β
Wei Ba snapped his fingers: "If you don't have less, you can't do less, you have to jump two levels, Zhonglang General is a partial general, a miscellaneous general, at least like your uncle Zhao Guang, a miscellaneous general." If possible, maybe go one step further, General Zhengdong? β
"No, you must surpass Uncle." Sun Luban clenched his fists and waved vigorously: "How can being a brother be worse than being a younger brother." Husband, don't worry, I will definitely help you become the general of Zhengdong. β
Zhao Tong glared at Wei Ba, who was smiling evilly, and smiled bitterly to appease the excited Sun Luban and said: "Don't listen to him, except for capturing Cao Rui alive, what kind of big function jumps three levels in a row?" Zhongde was able to jump two levels in a row, but it was already played by Ziyu and the prime minister. β
"Then you have to play tricks with the prime minister, and you must let my husband jump three levels in a row." Sun Luban pointed at Wei Ba and said, then found that this was not very polite, and immediately changed his smiling face and begged: "Please, please." β
"Okay, okay." Wei Ba, who was as thick as Wei Ba, was also a little unbearable, and begged for mercy again and again: "As long as you can convince your father, I will roll with the prime minister and the hussar general when the time comes, and I will definitely let your husband jump at least three times in a row, okay?" If they don't, I'll give credit for my own work, okay? β
β¦β¦
Sun Luban took more than 20 horsemen, unified with Zhao, and swept into Wuchang City like a gust of wind. After entering the city, they did not go to see Sun Quan first, but went to the harem and asked to see Mrs. Bu.
When Sun Luban hurriedly walked up to the small building, Mrs. Bu had already arrived at the door, and glared at Sun Luban with joy: "As soon as I heard the footsteps, I knew that it was you reckless ghost, hey, why are you ......?"
Mrs. Bu pointed to the armor on Sun Luban's body and sank her face. When you enter the palace, you have to wear a dress, how can anyone wear armor to enter the palace, plus Sun Luban is in a hurry, in case he is seen, he thinks there is a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace.
"I came back from the front." Sun Luban took Mrs. Bu's arm and said affectionately, especially biting the word "front" very hard. When Mrs. Bu heard this, she didn't pursue it further. Sun Luban immediately leaned over and shouted downstairs: "Husband, don't come up yet, meet the queen mother." β
When Mrs. Bu heard this, she looked at Sun Luban in surprise: "Boren is also here?" β
"Uh-huh." Sun Luban hugged Mrs. Bu's arm and shook it, and said coquettishly: "I came back suddenly this time, I have something to ask my father." Mother, you must help me. Whether Boren can be promoted to three levels in a row this time depends on whether his father agrees. β
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Bu sank her face and shook off Sun Luban's arm: "National affairs, how can you be so nonsense?" If it works, you should go directly to your father, if not, it's useless to go to me. I cannot influence your father's decision for personal reasons. β
Sun Luban blinked, but disagreed. Zhao Tong walked up and bowed down in front of Mrs. Bu. Mrs. Bu was embarrassed to say anything in front of Zhao Tong, so she asked a few words gently. Sun Luban muttered and said the intention, Mrs. Bu frowned slightly, and looked at Zhao Tong reproachfully: "Boren, Dahu is not sensible, why don't you care about her a little?" β
Zhao Tong coughed, and was just about to speak, Sun Luban's eyes widened, and his mouth clicked a few times, although no sound came out, it was obviously a threat. Zhao Tong turned a blind eye and said calmly: "Queen, if it is not feasible in the future, no matter how good Lu Ban is, I will not come with her." I came here because I thought it was possible. If it can be successful, it will be beneficial to both Han and Wu. β
Mrs. Step did not speak. Sun Luban had already said what she meant just now, and her thoughts were the same as Zhao Tong's, and she felt that this was a good jihua with the best of both worlds, but she had always been unwilling to intervene in state affairs, so she couldn't help but hesitate.
"The queen doesn't have to be embarrassed, since it is a state matter, of course there will be relevant officials who will formally make a request to King Wu. We came this time, in fact, Lu Ban missed the queen. β
Zhao Tong smiled and glanced at Sun Luban, his eyes full of tenderness. Sun Luban smiled shyly and hid behind Mrs. Bu.
Zhao Tong is seven or eight years older than Sun Luban, and he was semi-forced by Sun Luban, Mrs. Bu has always been worried that Zhao Tong has a problem with Sun Luban, and at this moment, she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she sees the affection of the little couple. She nodded: "I can only mention it to the king, and I won't interfere with his decision." If you want to succeed, it is better to go through a formal route. β
"Whoa." Zhao Tong bowed down to receive the order. He sat down for a while, got up and said goodbye and left the palace, and went to Fei Yi to explain what Wei Ba meant. As soon as he went out, Sun Quan strode in, and said as he walked: "Big Tiger, Big Tiger, do you want to take someone to take your father's palace?" β
Sun Luban smiled, jumped up, rushed out of the palace gate, pounced on Sun Quan with a smile, put his arms around Sun Quan's neck, and shouted repeatedly: "Father, how do you know that I am back?" β
"If I don't know what has become of my palace?" Sun Quan hahadaxiao, patted Sun Luban on the back: "Come down, you are covered in armor, and your father can't hold it." β
Sun Luban glanced at the brothers Ling Lie and Ling Feng who were closely following Sun Quan, and said with a grin: "I know, it was these two tigers who reported the news." Little guy, how is it, has your riding skills improved, do you want to compete? β
Ling Lie and Ling Feng are the sons of Ling Tong. Ling Tong defended Sun Quan in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin and made great contributions, but he was also seriously injured and later fell ill and died. Sun Quan took pity on him and raised his sons Ling Lie and Ling Feng in the palace and treated them like sons. When they were a little older, they were asked to teach them to read and ride horses once every ten days to practice riding. After Sun Wei died in battle and Sun Deng went out to command the army, these two people were Sun Quan's consolation.
"How dare the minister compete with the princess." Ling Lie was older and hurriedly declined. "As soon as the leaves fall, I knew that the autumn solstice, just now I glanced at the princess's heroic posture, and I knew that the princess's riding skills had greatly improved, which was beyond the reach of the ministers."
Sun Quan daxiao, pulled the triumphant Sun Luban into the hall, and asked about the intention. Sun Luban said it happily, Sun Quan listened to it, and raised his eyebrows: "Wei Ba's shaft is really hateful, just come and lie to me, how can you hit the idea on your head." β
Sun Luban was puzzled: "Father, what does this mean?" β
"Silly girl, can't you see it? This is Wei Ba's trick. He wanted to let my Great Wu's army attract the main force of the Wei army, so that Li Yan could attack Nanyang and Zhuge Liang would attack Longyou. Of the three battlefields, the most difficult one is the Jianghuai battlefield, but the easiest is the Longyou battlefield, and even Li Yan is facing a little better than us. Zuihou Zhuge Liang can win Longyou, and Li Yan may be able to make contributions, but we are doomed to gain nothing, and we will be used by him in vain. β
He glanced at Sun Luban: "If it is really feasible, he Weishenme didn't directly let Fei Yi come to find him, but he just wanted you to come forward?" He's taking advantage of you, and only you, a little fool with a straight stomach, can't see it. β
Sun Luban's face suddenly darkened...... (To be continued......)
