People are greedy.

Especially people like Sun Quan who have gained advantages because of their success.

Don't take up the money, don't take over.

Anyway, you won't die if you take it.

What if the other party doesn’t care about him?

Did you think so?

But this time, Chen Zhen harshly criticized the proposal of Dongwu to slaughter Youzhou, one of the three prefectures in Hebei:

"Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, these three are all bitter and cold places, and the people are difficult to get rich, and the Han Dynasty belongs to them."

"East from Hangu Pass, south of the Dahe River, and the place in Guandong, the heart of the Central Plains is the most fertile place in the world. Now I am not satisfied with the Wu Kingdom?"

"Mr. Wu's move is like snatching gold and trying to steal people's pottery tiles, not because he is sincerely swearing together!"

After Chen Zhen said this, even those who were like Sun Quan still had a little fever on their faces.

However, the Wu Kingdom was good at boats and boats, and it was easy to contact Liaodong, so Sun Quan naturally could not give up Youzhou easily.

"What the two countries do to join is to destroy Cao Wei. Now that Cao Wei has not been destroyed, they are fighting for the land of the state that has not yet been obtained. Does the Han envoy think this is also the way to join?"

Prime Minister Gu Yong knew Sun Quan's intention and asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head, "The Han Dynasty vowed to destroy the Cao thieves, so I must fight each other now. If I don't say it at this time, then the Han army will go east and the Wu army will go north."

"What should we do if the two countries meet the Central Plains and have a dispute? Since we are to divide the world equally, we should be fair and just, and we should not make excuses based on words that have not yet been obtained."

He looked at Sun Quan with some intent, "Does your Majesty remember that Han and Wu jointly defeated Cao Cao at the Red Cliff?"

Not to mention Sun Quan, even Lu Xun, who was sitting next to him, had his eyelids jumped.

Because of the Jingzhou incident, he was still one of the masterminds.

Usually, no matter how much you brag in Wu, it is okay, but when bragging in front of Shu, it is not only risky, but also a thick face as thick as a city wall.

After all, the matter of betraying the alliance is really a sensitive topic now.

After hearing Chen Zhen's words, Sun Quan looked very unhappy:

So after all, you Han people just don’t believe in us, right?

Since all the words were said, Lu Xun had to speak, "The matter of swearing together really requires sincerity."

"However, beside Youzhou is Liaodong and Liaodong Gongsun Yuan, who has always had contacts with our Wu State."

"If we can get help from Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, wouldn't it be much easier for our Wu Kingdom to acquire Youzhou than the Han Kingdom?"

When Chen Zhen heard this, he frowned slightly. He really didn't know about this news.

"Justice Chen Weiwei said just now that Han vowed to destroy Wei, why didn't our Wu Kingdom want to fight against thieves? Therefore, it is also impossible for us to take this Youzhou."

Chen Zhen knew that Lu Xun would not lie to him, but he was unwilling to let go: "However, my great man would lose a state in vain, which is inconsistent with emotion and reason."

Sun Quan, who was sitting in the main seat, finally spoke: "What if you want to exchange Yanzhou for Youzhou?"

"Please look at Weiwei Chen," Sun Quan pointed to the map of the thirteen states in the world. "Although Yanzhou is located in the south of the Great Henan, it is closely connected to Jizhou, so it is quite convenient to connect with it."

"And the Central Plains Guandong is rich, and Yanzhou is much better than the bitter and cold place like Youzhou. If you exchange it, the Han Dynasty not only did not lose, but also took advantage."

Anyway, Yanzhou is located in the center of the hinterland of Wei State, and is separated from Wu State by Xuzhou and Yuzhou. If you really want to get it, it would be too difficult.

Unlike Youzhou, if you have the support of Gongsun Yuan, the State of Wu can float directly there.

How could Chen Zhen not know what Sun Quan was thinking? It was just that for the Han Dynasty, Youzhou and Yanzhou were both the same far away.

One is north of Jizhou and the other is south of Jizhou.

If the Han Dynasty really can reach Jizhou in the future, no matter which one it takes, it doesn't matter.

So after a little thought, he agreed.

The Han and Wu countries set up high-level swearing together and made the news that they tried to deal with Cao Wei was spread to the north, making Cao Rui, who had barely stabilized the domestic situation.

But this is not the worst news.

After all, the two enemies of Shu and Wu had already joined forces.

Even worse news is that the Shu people sent troops to Liangzhou a few months ago when they heard that the news came from Hanzhong and Longyou.

Some people say that due to insufficient troops in Liangzhou, the army of Dashu people had to surrender to the crowd.

Some people also say that it was the official of Liangzhou who took the initiative to lead the Shu army into Liangzhou.

Some people even say that it was the rebellion of Qianghu in Liangzhou, so the Shu people had the opportunity...

There are all kinds of news and there are many different opinions.

However, the news of Liangzhou and Guanzhong was cut off, and the official news from the government between the two places had to go to the desert north of Anding, and it took several months to communicate.

More about inquiries through caravans in Longyou and Guanzhong.

The Shu brocade produced in Shu is a rare luxury in the Central Plains.

Even Cao Rui himself liked it very much.

And wool materials are even more necessary in the winter of the army.

Therefore, although the two sides were tense, the caravans were in exchange for more and more frequent exchanges.

Of course, these caravans are also indispensable for detailed works mixed with both sides.

But no matter which caravan the news came from or what the content was, one thing was common, that is, the Shu people marched into Liangzhou, and the situation in Liangzhou was very unfavorable.

Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor and swears to join forces with the Shu people. Liangzhou is very likely to have been lost. There are many things. Although he has been mentally prepared for a long time, it still makes Cao Rui feel upset.

He had only been the third year of ascending the throne, so he transferred the three auxiliary ministers with real power out of Luoyang, leaving only one Chen Qun who did not hold military power.

In this way, the influence of the auxiliary ministers in the court was quickly reduced so that they could take power alone.

Such methods can be regarded as a well-versed way of checks and balances, and understand the emperor's mind.

If there was no matter what the two enemies of Shu and Wu, what he had to do next was to learn from Emperor Wu, go beyond the ninth rank Zhongzheng system, issue a order to seek talents to weaken the control of the aristocratic families over the court.

But things don't go as expected.

The two big defeats in the West and South last year forced him not to continue to compromise with the aristocratic families in order to gain the stability of the Cao Wei regime.

He had just settled a little more this year. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard bad news again, which made him so angry that he smashed several tea cups in Xitang.

The precious wool carpet on the ground was soaked with tea splashes, which was a bit distorted.

Cao Rui had to come to Dongtang and summoned important officials in the court to discuss matters.

"The Great Wei is the right thing in the world; the Shu captives steal to occupy the western border; the Wu conquers are across the river and the southern barbarians. I am the emperor and live in the world, but I am bullied by the rats."

"I remember that back then, Emperor Wu used weak troops to pacify the world, Emperor Wen repeatedly pressed against the riverside, and Sun Quan bowed his head. If I had not killed the heads of the rats in Shu and Wu, how could I have the face to enter the ancestral temple to worship?"

Cao Rui was still angry and said to the ministers below.

The first person to stand up against the enemy was Tingwei Gao Rou.

"The two enemy soldiers are cunning and have the intention of peeping into the Central Plains. They are planning to fight and are unwilling to stop. They use remote places to expand their troops and expand their military forces, and the people cannot bear the suffering."

"The Great Wei lives in the Central Plains and should raise soldiers, repair armor and soldiers, and wait for them to be free. Your Majesty is in charge of national affairs. Instead of being eager to use force, it is better to build a palace and live in the people."

"Just wait until the two enemies change and then attack them with elite troops, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and became emperor, he built a large-scale construction in Luoyang, changing the two palaces that have been established since the Han Dynasty, forming an imperial palace pattern centered on the Taiji Hall.

It was just because the time was still short and the war had not yet settled, and the palace had not been completed.

After Cao Rui ascended the throne, he wanted to move the four gods, Emperor Gao, Emperor Tai, Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, from Yecheng to Luoyang.

Therefore, the construction of the royal ancestral temple began.

At the same time, I took this opportunity to expand the Tai Chi Hall to several more palaces.

What Gao Rou said was this.

Cao Rui was already angry and couldn't help but hear that Gao Rou not only did not support him, but instead advised him to stop recruiting civilians.

He immediately said sternly: "The affairs of the ancestral temple and the major affairs of the country, Gao Tingwei, you have been wrong!"

Gao Ruo refused to give in: "Your Majesty, what I am talking about is the construction of the palace."

Cao Rui couldn't help but surged into his forehead:

"In the past, Emperor Wen conquered Wu, and the Empress Dowager guarded the palace in the rear. When it rained heavily, the palace was flooded."

"The Empress Dowager, with her noble body, had to settle down in the water for the sake of the soldiers, officials and the people."

"There are many leaks in the palace courtyard now. If you encounter any previous incident again, will Gao Tingwei want the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to settle in the water again?"

"Are you going to trap me in an unfilial place and be abandoned by the world?"

Gao Rou hurriedly leaned on the ground: "I dare not."

"I dare not retreat?"

Cao Rui scolded.
