Chapter 1046 The League of Wei and Tang
Zhuge Liang seemed to have his own thought. He took a fan and said to Liu Bei.
"The combination of the two countries of Wei and Tang Dynasties is full of millions of people. If we fight against each other alone, it will undoubtedly be a self-destruction. The so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but if the lord is defeated, it is difficult to protect Dongwu. The bright material is that Dongwu must have an action. At present, you can wait for the Eastern Wu to come to Sichuan to see how Sun Zhongmou plans, and then make a conclusion.
Liu Bei listened and frowned. But seeing that Zhuge Liang was not impatient and seemed to have won the amount, he agreed first. A few days later, as Zhuge Liang expected, Zhuge Jin rushed to Chengdu to meet him. Liu Bei then ordered the counselors to take Zhuge Jin into the city to meet him. After the ceremony, Liu Bei treated Zhuge Jin with a courtesy and gave him a seat. Zhuge Jin first presented Sun Quan's document. Liu Bei opened the book and looked at it. His face changed in a flash. His eyebrows were deeply locked, and he shouted in a condensed voice.
"What does King Wu mean!?"
Seeing that Liu Bei's face was like this, they didn't know what to do, only Zhuge Liang smiled on his face. Zhuge Jin got up to worship and bowed.
"The emperor's uncle is a relative of the Han family, and his benevolence and righteousness are all over the world. Now he has won the land of Xichuan and Jingxiang, and he should be the king of Shu. My king sent a book to Luoyang and played it as today. I hope the emperor will not disappoint the king of Wu.
Liu Beixiao's eyes suddenly opened, and his heart kept beating, but he still suppressed the vigorous ambition and shouted harshly.
"Does the King of Wu have to be prepared for injustice!? Although it is the clan of the Han Dynasty, it should be his duty to support the Han Dynasty. If it is for this matter, it is anti-Han. How dare you do this! Don't mention this again!!"
Seeing this, Zhuge Jin frowned and wanted to say it again. When Liu Bei brushed his clothes and retreated into the back hall. The counselors at the table had not yet reacted, but Zhuge Liang talked and laughed freely. He apologized to his brother Zhuge Jin first, and then ordered Zhuge Jin to be placed in the post house first. Then, Zhuge Liang whispered to Fa Zheng, Huang Quan and others for a while, and everyone changed their color. That night, Zhuge Liang gathered a crowd of literature and martial arts in his house and talked secretly all night.
The next day, Zhuge Liang personally followed Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei and other literary and martial arts to see Liu Bei and saluted.
"Fang Jin Cao Cao's exclusive power, and the emperor was like a puppet. At that time, the Northwest Wen was extraordinary, and Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou claimed that the king ascended the throne one after another, and the authority of the Han Dynasty was lost. The country is no longer a country. The people of the world have no master. The lord has always been in the world with benevolence and righteousness, and he also has the blood of the Han Dynasty. Now he has the land of Xichuan and Jingxiang. He should ascend the throne as the king of Shu, and his name is right and obedient, in order to fight against the thieves.
Liu Bei listened to the words, his face changed, and he shook his head and shouted.
"Sun Zhongmou said that I was the king of Shu, but he had a bad intention. It made me fall into the name of an anti-national thief. The military master is very talented, can't you see his evil intentions!?
Zhuge Liang smiled and stroked the goose feather fan in his hand.
"The Lord's words are bad. Sun Zhongmou really wanted to get along with his master, and expressed the intention of the court as a sign of goodwill. As for the lord's appointment as the king of Shu, our courtiers have long had this intention. But I'm afraid that the Lord doesn't want to. It's the right time now. Fang dares to say.
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the literary and military behind him opened their mouths one after another to show their hearts. Hearing this, Liu Bei's face darkened, and he hesitated. Zhuge Liang then opened his mouth and said.
"Rufang collapsed today. Cao Cao ascended the throne as the king of Wei in the Central Plains for several years. At that time, the Western Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Wu also established the country one after another. Wei, Tang and Wu, each of the hegemony, the advisers and generals under his command, were all rewarded, and people's hearts were shocked. The lord can know that the reason why the ministers give up death and live is that they all want to climb dragons and attach phoenixes, establish fame, and be respected by future generations. Nowadays, only the lord has not set up a king for a long time. If the lord avoids suspicion and keeps righteousness, people's hearts will be relieved. I hope the Lord will think twice."
Liu Bei frowned and shook his head.
"It's a big deal, but it needs to be discussed in the long-term."
As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, all the ministers knelt down and invited. Zhang Fei stared and shouted.
"People with different surnames are called kings. What's more, my brother is a sect of the Han Dynasty! Don't say it's the king of Shu, even if it's called the emperor, why not!!!"
Liu Bei listened to his words, stared, shouted at Zhang Fei repeatedly, and told him to shut up. At this moment, Zhuge Liang said in a fixed voice.
"Sun Zhongmou said that the lord is the king of Shu. If the lord refuses, Sun Zhongmou will take it as if the lord has no intention to ally with him, and then be wary of the lord. Under the current situation, if I don't have an alliance with Eastern Wu, I will be defeated by Wei Tang sooner or later. I also hope that the Lord will put the overall situation first.
When Liu Bei heard this, his face was calm and he said in a condensed voice.
According to what Kong Ming said. It's necessary to be the king of Shu!?"
"The lord ascended the throne to the king of Shu. It can appease the expectations of the public and shake the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Jingxiang and Xichuan. Second, Sun Zhongmou can also make Sun Zhongmou have no worries and allied with us to fight against the Wei and Tang Dynasties. This is actually a trend. How can the lord be reversed?
Zhuge Liang's eyes are shining, and the words are ringing, and there is a sound. A group of literary and martial arts persuaded in unison. Liu Bei refused again and again, so he had to agree. The ministers were overjoyed and prepared to ascend the throne. Later, Liu Bei called Zhuge Jin to see him and thanked Sun Quan, the king of Wu, for his performance. When Zhuge Jin saw that Liu Bei was willing to ascend to the throne, he said about the alliance between the two countries. Liu Bei immediately agreed and asked Zhuge Jin to stay for the ceremony. Zhuge Jin also did not refuse. In the spring of that year, Liu Bei ordered people to build an altar in Mianyang, with a radius of nine miles, distributed in five directions, each with banners and ceremonial guards. The ministers are all arranged in order. Huang Quan and Fa Zheng invited Liu Bei to ascend the altar, entered the crowned seal, sat in the south, and was congratulated by civil and military officials as the king of Shu. Liu Bei stood on the altar, so he appointed the country as Shu, and his son Liu Chan as the son of the king. Zhuge Liang was appointed as the prime minister, and the prime minister's military affairs were important. Huang Quan is Taifu, Fa Zheng is Shang Shuling, Ou Yue is Tai Chang, Ou Liang is Da Sima, and Ma Liang is Xiangyang Taishou. He also named Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Ma Chao and Hua Xiong as the five tiger generals. The rest of them are appointed as meritorious deeds. After the award was awarded, Liu Bei made a declaration to the ministers and sergeants on the altar.
"The preparation is a white body. Fortunately, there is the kindness of the court. With the talent of ministers, the position of the general of the Netherlands, the governor's three armies, and the words are outside. However, he was prepared for a meager body and could not sweep away the difficulties. The Jingkuang royal family had been fooled by the emperor for a long time. Within the six-in-one, if not, the ambitious people, each divides one side. I'm worried about the country all day long, but I'm worried about the opposite side, and I'm heartbroken.
In the past, Dong Zhuo made trouble. Since then, the thieves have been rampant and stripped the sea. Cao, Wen, Yuan and other ministers in troubled times took advantage of the situation to divide the imperial land. Fortunately, with the help of Liu Jingzhou, the reserve was to defend its territory and resist foreign enemies, so as to find an opportunity to eradicate Cao Cao and save the emperor. The sky is unfair, and the hero of Liu Jingzhou died early, entrusting Jingzhou with preparation. Although I am talented, I dare not forget my ministers.
The emperor has passed down that this road is not abolished. In the past, Gaozu Longxing, the prince and brother, the great enlightenment of the nine kingdoms, killed all Lv, and made peace with the emperor.
Today, the thieves are arrogant and arrogant, hiding the evil heart. What's more, they are also Cao Cao, stealing the country and usurping the throne early. Since the clan is weak and the emperor has no place, considering the ancient style, it is ready to be the king of Shu according to the expectations of the public, which is actually created for the trend. The fate of heaven and the people, I dare not go against it. When the group righteousness is united, when the sky is obedient, it will be better. This heart can be seen!"
Liu Bei played the world, and all officials knelt down, played music together, and officially ascended the throne. Since Liu Bei was the king of Shu, his heart was shocked. Pan Feng and Ma Chao sent congratulatory newspapers from Jingzhou and Manjing respectively, and sent people to send heavy gifts for worship. Liu Bei set up a banquet in Chengdu, and the soldiers and the people had fun for several days in a row. After the banquet, Zhuge Jin returned to Eastern Wu.
Sun Quan was overjoyed when he learned that Liu Bei was the king of Shu and responded to the alliance between the two countries. Sun Quan then ordered Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other ministers to step up the training of soldiers and horses, and prepare armored arms to prepare for the war. At the same time, Liu Bei became king, and also taught Zhuge Liang and Pan Feng to speed up preparations for the war. He also taught people to send letters to the barbarians, and ordered Ma Chao to unite with the southern barbarian tribes to respond at any time. Moreover, after Ma Chao entered the barbarian situation with Mrs. Zhu Rong, within two years, he was careful to calm down the barbaric chaos and secretly eliminated dissidents. Mrs. Zhu Rong is very convinced of Ma Chao. At the same time, Ma Chao is extremely brave, and the barbarian situation can be quickly and stable, which depends on his attack. Ma Chao fought in all directions, and the battle was invincible. The name of Ma Chao is powerful, and no one is angry with him. At that time, Liu Bei ascended the throne as the king of Shu, and the barbarians were shocked to learn about it. When Mrs. Zhu Rong saw the time, she announced that each tribe would marry Ma Chao at a lucky time. The chiefs of various tribes in the barbarian territory are deterred by the courage of Ma Chao, and they are all the strength of Shu. They dare to be angry and do not say anything. Shortly after their marriage, Mrs. Zhu Rong tried her best to help Ma Chao ascend to the throne of the barbarian king. So far, the realm of southern barbarians has been used by Ma Chao.
Moreover, Cao Cao was furious when he learned that Sun Quan and Liu Bei had been kings one after another, and soon heard of the alliance between Wu and Shu. Cao Cao was even more angry. He immediately ordered his generals to prepare their soldiers and horses, and he wanted to march on Jingzhou with all his troops. At the same time, Cao Cao sent people to Chang'an to teach Wen Han to march from Sichuan and attack Xichuan.
But it is said that it is the Lantern Festival. In Chang'an City, people are lit up in all lanes to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The officials of the Wenhan Conference had a night banquet in the hall. It has been three years since the Xichuan War. Wen Han will talk about the collection of Sichuan in the meeting with the officials. Suddenly, a soldier rushed over and whispered in Xu Huang's ear. Hearing this, Xu Huang's face darkened, and the tiger's eyes suddenly shot out two fine light, and secretly threw a wink at Wen Han. Wen Han frowned, so he motioned Xu Huang to go. Xu Huang left the banquet and turned into the palace. With a whistle, hundreds of dark shadows flew quickly from all directions in an instant, like flying gulls. Xu Huang's face was dark and he said coldly to everyone.
"There are many spies sneaking into the city tonight. You can disperse into the city immediately. As long as you see suspicious people, you can capture them. If not, kill him. Wait and act in secret. Don't disturb the elegance of the King of Tang!!"
The hundreds of people in front of Xu Huang are the people who were carefully created by Wen Han more than ten years ago. These people are all orphans. They have been taken in by Wen Han since childhood and trained since childhood. There are a total of 3,000 people, named 'Flying Kyuan'. These people are all good at assassination, and they are extremely agile and good at searching for intelligence. Wen Han used the practice method of future agents, which was created after nearly ten years. According to its strength, it is divided into three branches: A, B and C. Class C people are scattered all over the world to search for intelligence, while Class B people are responsible for the assassination. Some of the people of Grade A were assassinated, while others stayed in Chang'an to secretly protect Wen Han and various important officials. At present, in front of Xu Huang are all Grade A flying gulls. As Xu Huang's order fell, hundreds of Grade A flying gulls dispersed in an instant, like a smoke phantom, which disappeared in an instant.
