Chapter 443 [Choice]
(Thank you for the Great Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ug, you and me, the mirror has dust, the Buddha is gone, royli, your fairy tale has been used)
"What a Le Wenqian! What a Zhang Wenyuan!"
In the military camp of Zhu County, Ma Han held the battle report and laughed at the table, and was very satisfied. (.) These two battles of all sizes have caused heavy damage to the Sun, Cao and Liu coalition. The three coalition forces were the second one, leaving only the Sun family in Jiangdong to take the lead. As the saying goes, it is difficult to support it alone. In the next decisive battle in Xiakou, the Dragon Wolf Army has taken the initiative.
Taishici also smiled and said, "It turns out that the invasion is like fire. Wen Qian's fire plundering army is really good. We are ashamed of Xu Lin's army."
Ma Wen waved his hand: "The fire plundering army defeated the front line on land, and Xu Linjun competed for heroes on water. Don't worry, your Xu Linjun will play the lead role in the second half."
Xun You handed over the draft reward report to Ma Han for review.
"Le Jin and Jin conquer the Eastern General, and were appointed as the Marquis of the Township; Zhang Liao and Jin captured the General, and were appointed as the Marquis of Ting; Zang Ba's merits and crimes were against each other, and they were not rewarded or punished; Sun Kang and Sun Guan all posthumously awarded the Marquis of Ting to show their loyalty... The rewards and punishments are clear, which is very good." Ma Han put down his memorials and smiled, "The envoys of Luoyang have arrived, what do you think should?"
All the generals looked at Xun You together. Among the generals here, no one could match this lord in terms of etiquette.
Xun You looked around and finally fell on Ma Han's face, with a firm expression: "Set an altar to welcome him, and climb to the altar to pay tribute."
At the end of April, the results of the Ma Han General's Battle of Xiling and the Battle of Zhu County were reported to the entire army. The morale of the Southern Expedition Army was high, and everyone was ready to make new contributions. At this time, Ma Han ordered the suspension of the attack and did two things first: one was to set up a high-level spiritual altar to sacrifice spirits for the emperor. The other was to send people to Shaxian to persuade him to surrender.
The first one is something that must be done. The second one is the continuation of the first one, because according to the convention, the emperor dies and the world holds funerals. During the mourning period, no war is allowed. The warlords in the opposition can ignore this, but the Dragon Wolf Army is the emperor's personal army and the Ma Han is the emperor's closest relative, so this example must be followed.
Since we cannot use weapons, we will use the momentum of great victory to force Sun Cao and Liu to surrender, which is also a good strategy that can be taken under the current situation.
So Ma Han summoned Guo Jia, the prefect of Yuzhang, and used him as a special envoy to Shaxian with the imperial envoy Liu Wan, and said that he would surrender Sun Quan. Well, it was mainly Sun Quan, as long as Sun Laoer surrendered, he would become a good person. As for the other two, they were toothless tigers, as long as the Jiangdong army surrendered, they would not make any monsters.
Liu Wan was a royal family and was not only on his first mission to Jiangdong. As early as the beginning of Jian'an, he had a sect envoy Wu, and issued a bronze seal to Sun Ce, officially recognizing his rank of Marquis of Wucheng. He also had contact with Sun Quan and praised him. The court sent this person as an envoy, which was obviously because Jia Xu was exercising his efforts.
In order to show sincerity, Ma Han also asked Guo Jia to bring a "gift" to some of the families of Jiangdong's ministers who were intercepted and captured by Le Jin in Xiling, including the families of generals such as Han Dang, Song Qian, and Chen Wu who had been killed in battle. Anyway, these generals have died, it is useless to detain their families. It is better to be a favor and win people's hearts.
In addition, the above good coffins were buried with the bodies of Xiahou Yuan and Han Hao and sent them across the south of the Yangtze River. This is not only a respect for the generals who died in battle, but also a blow to the will of the enemy. It kills two birds with one stone.
In early May, Guo Jia officially went on a mission to Jiangnan with the festival. Ma Han personally arrived to Xiakou and sent Chen Dao and ten general guard soldiers to escort him.
The two stood side by side at the newly built Shuizhai Wharf on the north bank of Xiakou, blowing the cool river breeze and looking at the other side. They speculated about the success or failure of this mission.
Ma Han pointed to the south bank of Xiakou, seven or eight miles away: "Zhou Yu set up a military camp there, with a total of 5,000 troops and hundreds of warships, and put on a stance of destruction and destruction. That is just a bargaining chip. As long as Sun Quan is not stupid, he should not resist stubbornly. Even if Sun Quan goes crazy, his civil and military generals and officials will not accompany him to go crazy. Fengxiao, you should go here to make efforts from the scholars of Jiangdong, contact the peace faction more, and disintegrate the Sun family from within."
Guo Jia gave a gift: "Jia will do all her strength to make Sun Quan come with the surrender."
At this time, Chen Dao hurried over and handed a letter to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was a little surprised. Is this military information or intelligence? Shouldn’t it be shown to the lord first?
But Ma Han smiled and signaled him to open it.
Guo Jia took out the letter, but saw that the names, positions, origins, family backgrounds, children's situations, etc. of all the Jiangdong forces above 300 stone were listed, which were extremely detailed, and there was a specific analysis below. This is the information collected by Hawkeye through endless hardships. It was not compiled until it was about to set off and sent to you urgently.
Guo Jia was overjoyed: "With this book, you can be targeted. It's great. The lord will wait for the good news with peace of mind."
As Ma Han waved goodbye, hundreds of sails were set and thousands of oars were rowing together, and a fleet of ships drove towards Jiangnan in a mighty manner.
When the fleet passed by Xiakou, the Jiangdong responded to the envoy Yu Fan, and the Xiakou general Dong Xiji came to greet him.
Yu turned over and returned the courtesy for a long time and greeted him with a smile. Dong Xi looked fierce and pointed to the navy army being trained in the Jiang'an Dazhai Village and the dense ships on the dock, and sneered: "Now the navy army is under management, with sufficient armor and equipment, and the ship is strong and sharp. If the North Wolf comes, Huang Zu will end up."
Nearly ten thousand? Isn’t it five thousand? Well, five thousand water soldiers, more than a thousand ship workers, two thousand servants... In this way, it can indeed be called "nearly ten thousand".
Liu Wan hurriedly said: "Harmony is the most precious, harmony is the most precious..."
Yu smiled without saying a word, only looking at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia said lightly: "The naval army that Huang Zu governed was still better than that of the Jiangdong Army, and the armored vessels were sufficient and unobstructed. At that time, the confrontation was also here, and I wonder who won and who lost?"
Dong Xi choked, blushed, his neck was thick, and he was breathing, but he couldn't speak.
Yu Fan laughed: "Isn't it unfair to have a verbal dispute with Guo Fengxiao?"
When the boat passed Xiakou, Sha Xian was looking at it. You could see the river from afar, and there were countless flags on the river bank. On the high platform by the river, there seemed to be a few people standing solemnly waiting. If what you expected, it would be Sun Cao and Liu.
As we approached again, a loud voice came from the platform: "Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei welcomed the angel!"
...
Late at night, the banquet ends.
Sun Quan repelled his left and right, walked all the way, turned to the backyard, and bowed to a elegant room: "Children pay homage to my mother."
A voice of peace came from the room: "Is it A Tong? Come in."
A Tong is a small character by Sun Quan, only his parents and brothers can call it. This small character comes from his eyes that are amber, which is slightly different from ordinary people, not "blue eyes, purple beard". Otherwise, we have to verify whether Wu had traveled to the Western Regions in one month before he was born.
There was a light inside like a bean, and only Wu and two close-fitting maids were weaving shoes.
Sun Quan walked in with his boots and socks, knelt on the mat. Just as he was about to speak, Wu asked the servant to keep silent and casually ordered the servant to bring hot soup to sober up for Sun Quan. After some trouble, the servant retreated, and only mother and son were left in the room.
Before his son could speak, Wu said casually: "The envoys of the court and the envoys of the Dragon Wolf came together, and they must have persuaded my son to join us. At the banquet, Zhou Gongjin and Zhang Zibu must be verbal again. Qin Song, Chen Duan, Li Shu, Youtai (Sun Jing), and your uncle (Wu Jing) must be on Zibu's side; and Demou (Cheng Pu), Gongfu (Huang Gai), Ziming (Lu Meng), Youping (Zhou Tai), Gong Yi (Jiang Qin) and others must support Gongjin. Well, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande are even more determined to fight."
Sun Quan exclaimed: "What my mother said is as straight as if she had seen her in person."
Wu said calmly: "What's hard to guess? What's the surprise of people's words and deeds on weekdays?"
Sun Quan was very upset: "In the face of a great enemy, you are not willing to work together to fight against foreign humiliation. Instead, you blame each other and quarrel endlessly. Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande were also fanning the flames, which was really abominable."
Wu said quietly: "However, what does my son mean?"
Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "What does the son mean? Does the son mean useful?"
Wu was also saddened. Yes, this time she took over not only a mess left by her brother, but also a group of rebellious subordinates who rely on their seniority. Zhou Gongjin and Zhang Zibu are not good at ease. The weak ministers are strong and they decide to make decisions. How could this young lord be the leader?
Wu said helplessly: "Since my son is powerless to make decisions, why not follow the good deeds."
Sun Quan sighed: "My mother still doesn't know what conditions the horse has promised."
Wu said lightly: "Didn't you say that you will be the General of the Central Army in Luoyang?"
Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "That's the old calendar, one time and another, and that's the position for the elder brother..."
Wu said worriedly: "Can't it be... even the official position of Qianshi is unavailable?"
"This is no longer a matter of official titles, but..." Sun Quan stretched out four fingers, and every time he said, he bent his fingers: "I am requesting surrender to the letter, the army will be reorganized, the inner family will enter Luo, and the whole family will move westward."
Wu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. So cruel! This was to uproot the Sun family in Jiangdong! He couldn't help but shout: "You have such a decisive condition, Zhang Zibu and others agreed?"
Sun Quan's words made Wu stunned.
"My mother might as well think about it carefully. Which of the above four points is not directed at my Sun family? None of the other Jiangdong gentry involved. When my Sun family collapsed, they praised the Ma family, just to change the lord. What losses are there? How do you disagree?"
Wu sighed: "In this way, Gongjin and the generals remember your brother's old friendship and support my son."
"Gongjin..." Sun Quan wanted to say something, shook his head, forget it, let's not say anything. Zhang Zibu said at least one thing correctly, as the lord, you must be tolerant and not be too blamed and seek fullness. Gongjin is good at military strategy, and even if he takes too much power, it is understandable when he is in this crisis.
"But my son wants to be in harmony or fight?" Wu knew that his son could not make decisions, so he changed his mind and asked where he chose.
"The child will not be in harmony even if he doesn't fight." Sun Quan smiled playfully, "Liu Xuande gave his son a trick, which is feasible."
"Oh, what is it?"
