Chapter 1711: Qin Mi Sent Wu Luxun to the North

Zhuge Liang led Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Ma Chao and other veterans to send troops, while Shen Long had Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Guan Suo, Zhao Guang, Zhao Tong, Deng Ai, Wang Ji and other young generals under his command. Still sitting in Jingzhou to guard against Soochow.

However, Shuzhong used more than half of its soldiers and horses to go north this time. If Soochow came to attack, there was still a risk of being unable to resist. Therefore, before that, it was necessary to send a debater to Soochow to understand the advantages and disadvantages and persuade Sun Quan. Attack Hefei, Xuzhou and other places to disperse the strength of Cao Wei and relieve the worries of the Shu Han.

"I have heard for a long time that Qin Mi, a bachelor, has outstanding knowledge and unparalleled eloquence. If I recommend Qin Mi to go to Soochow as an envoy, it will be a great success." Shen Long recommended a candidate, and Zhuge Liang and others nodded after hearing about it.

Sun Quan heard that the Shu Han planned to go north to attack Wei, so he summoned Lu Xun and others to discuss it. Suddenly he heard that the Shu Han had an envoy to visit. Zhang Zhao said, "This must be the Shu Han who wants to join the Eastern Wu to fight against Cao Wei, and sent Qin Mi as a lobbyist."

Sun Quan asked, "How should I answer that?"

Zhang Zhaodao, "Both Wei and Shu are stronger than Soochow. They are waiting to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. A thousand warriors are selected, each with a sword in their hand, and they are placed from the front of the palace gate to the palace. Qin Mi is called to see ; Hugh wait for this person to speak, since he has threatened him with the army, let's see how he responds."

Sun Quan readily accepted it, and ordered the warriors to stand on the left and right, each armed with their weapons, and called Qin Mi in. Qin Mi dressed up and went in front of the palace gate. There were two rows of majestic warriors, each holding a steel knife, a big axe, and a spear. The halberds and daggers lined up to the top of the hall, and they knew what they meant, without any fear, they walked proudly, the warriors on the left and right looked at them, Qin Mi smiled slightly.

The courtiers led the courtiers to the curtain, Qin Mi bowed and refused to bow, Sun Quanling rolled up the beaded curtain and shouted, "Why don't you bow!"

Qin Mi replied proudly, "The angels of the upper kingdom do not worship the master of a small kingdom."

Sun Quan said angrily, "You don't expect that, you want to lose your tongue and say that Wei Xiangshu is isolated, don't you?"

Qin Mi replied, "I am a Confucian student in Shu, and I came here for the benefit of Wu. I set up troops to intimidate me to refuse an envoy. The situation is too big to accommodate!"

Sun Quan was ashamed when he heard the words, so he reprimanded the warriors and ordered Qin Mi to go up to the hall, where he gave him a seat and asked, "What are the advantages and disadvantages of Wu and Wei? May the master teach me."

Qin Mi asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to make peace with Shu, or do you want to make peace with Wei?"

Sun Quan said, "Jiangdong's soldiers are few and far between, and they only want to protect themselves."

Qin Mi said, "Your Majesty is a hero who lives in the world. There are many talented people in Jiangdong. Why should Your Majesty be humble? Now that Cao is stealing the country, everyone should punish him. Your Majesty is also a Han subject. Do you want to help Cao Wei in reverse?"

Without waiting for Sun Quan to answer, Qin Mi continued, "If the great king now appoints Zhi as a minister to Wei, Wei will look to the great dynasty and ask the crown prince to serve him as his servant; , no longer be a king; if we go north together to attack Cao Wei, then Cao Wei will be defeated, and the king can achieve great things!"

Sun Quan heard it silently, and asked after a long time, "If Wu and Shu are united in destroying Wei, the world will be peaceful, and the two lords will divide the rule, wouldn't it be fun?"

Qin Mi replied, "There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings among the people. For example, after the Wei Dynasty was destroyed, they did not know who the destiny of heaven belonged to. But as a ruler, everyone should cultivate his own virtue; as a minister, each should do his best to be loyal, so the war will be smooth." Quiet your ears."

Sun Quan laughed and said, "Your sincerity, that's right!" Then he came down and invited Qin Mi to the table, and held a banquet for him. During the meeting, Lu Xun asked about the soldiers and horses in Shu, and Qin Mi told the truth. In charge of the eighty-one states in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not as rich and prosperous as the remote places in Western Shu.

It's really embarrassing.

"This is due to the benevolence of our lord, the reason why Prime Minister Zhuge and Shen Zifeng tried their best to assist; the prime minister sorted out the internal affairs, and the order in Shu was in order. The people in the middle of Shu don’t suffer from poverty, and infants don’t fear smallpox, so the people in Shu are rich and rich enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops.” Qin Mi talked about the benefits of the middle of Shu, and he heard the ministers of Eastern Wu yearn for it. .

Most of the ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty in the palace came from wealthy families, and they often used the snow salt, brocade, paper, and books in Shu on weekdays. He is quite familiar with the changes in the past few years, knowing that Qin Mi is not lying, Shuzhong is indeed far from what it used to be.

Lu Xun thought to himself, in the past Qin State won the rich and prosperous land in the center of Shu, and it was only then that it was able to fight against the Six Kingdoms alone. If Shu Han gains the land of Longxing in Guanzhong in this Northern Expedition, it will be difficult to govern. Go to Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places to occupy the land of the former strong Qi, so that you can compete with the Shu Han.

As for the idea of ​​uniting Wei to attack Shu, he hadn't thought about it, because now Wei is the strongest, if they defeated Shu together, Cao Pi would definitely turn around and attack Soochow, and Soochow would only have a dead end at that time.

So Lu Xun asked about the strategy of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han. Qin Mi led Zhuge Liang out of Qishan, and Shen Long revealed his plan to go north from Jingzhou to Wancheng. After hearing that Guan Yu was still guarding Jingzhou, Lu Xun was lucky at the end. How can Soochow invade the hinterland of Sichuan?

But if you want to take Jingzhou, you must first defeat Guan Yu. When Shen Zifeng returns from Fancheng, and then goes down the river to approach Jianye, how should he deal with it? Soochow must be defeated!

The essence of Soochow is all along the Yangtze River, and Jingzhou is in the hands of the Shu Han, which is tantamount to choking Soochow's throat. For the current plan, the only way to solve this dilemma is to win Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places.

Lu Xun thought of these two places again, so he thought that Sun Quan would take the initiative to invite Ying, planning to take advantage of Zhuge Liang and Shen Zifeng going north and Cao Wei's forces scattered, to take these two states and win more strategic space for Soochow.

So Eastern Wu and Shuhan became friendly since then, and Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin and Qin Mi to return to Shuzhong together. Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard about it, and immediately presented him with generous gifts. Zhuge Liang and Shen Long left Chengdu one after another to prepare for the formal Northern Expedition; Lu Xun also rectified Jiangdong Soldiers and horses are ready to lead the army northward after Zhuge Liang and Shen Long attack.

But it was said that Wei Guo's careful people found out about this and reported it to the Central Plains quickly. Cao Pi was furious when he heard about it, "Wu and Shu are in harmony, there must be the original intention in the picture, and it's better to attack them first." However, at this time, the great Sima Cao Ren and the Taiwei Jia Xu were dead, and the talents of Cao Wei gradually withered, and no one responded to the news.

After a while, Simpi, the servant, came out of the squad and said, "The land in the Central Plains is vast and the people are sparse, but if you want to use troops, you have not seen the benefits. Today's plan is to divide the troops and refuse them. After ten years of raising troops and garrisoning the fields, there will be enough food for the soldiers." , and then use it, then Wu and Shu can be defeated."

Cao Pi wanted to refute, but he remembered the predicament he had been unable to control under Fancheng in the past, and fell into a dilemma for a while.
