Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 613 Absconding

It was night, after Sun Quan decided to abandon the Han Dynasty and abandon the Wei Dynasty, he had a private banquet with Sima Shi and other Wei missions in the side hall.

Inside the hall, the lights were brightly lit, and more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the Wu and Wei dynasties mingled with each other to show the reconciliation between the two countries.

It is also interesting to say that last year Cao Rui defeated Sun Quan in Anfeng, and Sun Quan vowed to take revenge, but he did not expect that the two countries would unite because of the Shu Han.

Sure enough, as Benjamin Disraeli said, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

When he was slightly drunk, Master Sima raised his wine bottle to respect Sun Quan, and said: "Your Majesty, I will send you to Xiangyang County as a token of friendship. Therefore, foreign ministers dare to ask Your Majesty to send me a big gift, but I don't know Does His Majesty wish?"

Sun Quan admired Master Sima quite a bit, and smiled back: "What kind of gift does the envoy of Wei want? I will give it to me automatically if I own it. I don't know if it is jewelry?"

Although Wei and Wu were at war, they still communicated.Cao Rui liked jewelry and beautiful jade, so he sent people to Soochow to buy them from Sun Quan.And Sun Quan converted it into horses and traded with the Wei people.

Master Sima shook his head, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I would like to send the head of the Shu Han envoy as a reward to the great Wei."

"What~"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of Sun Quan's close ministers present changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Master Sima wanted the heads of Liao Li and Zhuge Qiao. This was to force Han and Wu to turn their backs!

Sun Quan stopped holding the cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "What the envoy of Wei asked was too rude. During the exchanges between the three countries, it is rare to kill envoys. What your country is asking for now may not be a state of etiquette."

In the matter of killing an envoy, unless the two countries have a deep hatred, otherwise they will generally not attack an envoy who is powerless.

Sima Master's face remained normal, and he said: "The Shu Han has the foundation of the Qin State, and it seems that the Eastern Qin Dynasty has emerged from the world. If Nanyang is conquered today, the Central Plains will be in danger! Your Majesty first seized Jingzhou, and then attacked Nanyang. Can Wu An be in harmony?"

Sun Quan stared at the wine bottle and fell into thought.Although Sima Shi's words were harsh, they were not without reason.I offended the Shu Han this time, and there is a high probability that the Shu Han will not be able to ally with me again in the future.

But there are exceptions. In the past, he captured and killed Guan Yu and defeated Liu Bei.And Zhuge Liang also made friends with Wu for the Northern Expedition.In the future, if the Shu Han is in danger, in order to seek stability, it will definitely make good friends with Wu. Therefore, the good relations between the two countries are not based on whether they are hostile, but whether it is profitable to make friends with themselves.

It is not impossible to kill Liao Li, after all, he has already killed Guan Yu.

However, holding the wine bottle, Sun Quan said hesitantly: "The people of the country will not be happy if I betray the alliance and abandon the Han. If I kill the envoy today, I may be criticized."

Master Sima laughed coldly, and said: "Your Majesty has been friends with Shu for a long time, and has shown him to be an alliance, but the king of Shu Han has never thought of it like this."

"Oh!" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why did you say that?"

Master Sima took a sip of his wine, put down Sun Quan's desire, and said, "Liu Chan asked his close ministers several times about politics and the way to unify the world. You Si once went to the court several times to speak about the attack on Jingzhou. Liu Chan didn't reprimand him. Moreover, he was promoted and reused. In the past, Deng Zhi left Fuling and moved to Wuling Man, that's why he did it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Sun Quan stroked his beard, slightly suspicious, and asked, "Do you have any proof?"

Master Sima smiled slightly, and said, "Wu has Yin and Fan, and Han also has them, why is it strange?"

"Soldiers are expensive today. If Your Majesty does not detain the envoy of the Shu Han, make him aware of it, and tell Liu Chan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Your Majesty and my Great Wei."

Sun Quan's pupils shrank, secretly sighing that it was so.

At first, Sun Quan ordered Zhonglang to surrender Sun Bu to Wei general Wang Ling, and Wang Ling led the army to meet Sun Bu. Sun Quan sent heavy troops to ambush Wang Ling.After the failure, Yinbo fled, but was captured and brought back and sentenced to death.

"Oh!"

Sun Quan thumped the table, and said in a deep voice: "Catch Liao Li immediately, imprison him, interrogate him and execute him after keeping secrets."

"promise!"

Master Sima drank with his sleeves up to cover up the upturned corners of his mouth.

I will slowly repay the hatred of taking my wife!
……

Liao Li, who was sleeping peacefully in the mansion, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

Before he could speak, Zhuge Qiao pushed open the door and entered, threw the clothes on the hanger onto the couch, and said anxiously: "Brother Liao, hurry up! Sun Quan broke the alliance and will join forces with Wei. He wants to kill us as a courtesy. "

Liao Li, who was drowsy, was awakened instantly by Zhuge Qiao's words. He put on his shoes, casually put on his outer robe, and asked, "How does Bo Song know?"

Zhuge Qiao dragged Liao Li out of the house and explained: "My third brother Zhuge Rongte came to report secretly. Now that Sun Quan has dispatched troops, he has not sealed off the city. He should ride on his horse and flee to Jingzhou to find the way to enter the country. road."

Liao Li, who was blown by the cold wind, also woke up. He pulled Zhuge Qiao who was about to go to the stable, and said, "Bo Song, now that Sun Quan has betrayed the alliance, we must send this information to the Nanyang army, and let Your Majesty be on guard. We are going by land now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to travel, and we still need to go by water. Now, before Sun Quan seals off the boats, we should head west quickly and go north to the Han River to return to the army."

"Bo Song, do you have a boat?"

"How can we... without a boat today?" Zhuge Qiao was about to blurt out when he suddenly remembered what his biological father told him.

Zhuge Qiao grabbed Liao Li's hand and hurriedly said, "There is a boat on Yanque Lake in the east of the city."

While speaking, flames shot up into the sky in the distance, and the soldiers and horses who came to arrest Liao Li and others were about to arrive.

"Okay, let's go."

The two ignored the rest of the mission, climbed over the wall and entered the street, their figures disappearing into the night.

Relying on his familiarity with Jianye, Zhuge Qiao was fortunate that both of them were born in a southern water town with good water quality. They swam through the water gate from the unguarded place and entered Yanque Lake in the east of the city.

When the two climbed ashore wet, they saw a bright lantern hanging in the reeds, like a bright light in the dark night, guiding people forward.

Zhuge Qiao was overjoyed when he saw this, and sure enough his biological father Zhuge Jin didn't fool him.

While walking, looking back at the Jianye tower, I saw many soldiers walking through the city gate, the torches were bright, and Jianye was already on guard.

Zhuge Qiao peeled off the reed and walked towards the light.Taking a closer look, there was a familiar servant on that boat waiting for him.This family has served Zhuge Jin for many years, the father is dumb, the mother is lame, and the son is strong.

Zhuge Qiao waved his hand, greeted them, and led Liao Li onto the boat.

The strong son untied the rope, and his father raised a small sail and flowed down the river into the Yangtze River.

Liao Li stood at the bow of the boat, wearing a sackcloth, looking at Jianye with long thoughts.

Holding a cup of hot tea, Zhuge Qiao walked over and said, "Brother Liao, what are you thinking? It's quite strange that Wu rushed to Nanyang today."

Liao Li thought of Xiangyang County that Sun Quan asked for from him, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If Li's guess is correct, the Wei people must cut off Xiangyang County and the Wu people, so that the Wu people can break the alliance and attack our army."

As he said that, Liao Li thought about the future situation and said: "Today, my big man is at war with the two countries. The fortunes and misfortunes are unknown. The people of Wu go north, and the people of Wei go south. Fortunately, Wuguan is in the hands of my big man. My big man will have nowhere to go."

Zhuge Qiao sighed, and said: "The entry of the Three Kingdoms will disrupt the war, and the wind will blow up Jingbei. Difficult! Difficult!"

"The blessing of misfortune depends on it, and the misfortune of blessing rests."

A voice of emotion remained on the surface of the river.

"Han Ji·Jiang Fei Dong Liao Lu Biography": In the 16th year of Jianxing, Zhongzu brought a large army into Nanyang, conquered Wuguan, Xiawan City, and the situation was like a broken bamboo.He ordered Li to visit Wu and said that Sun Quan led his troops to attack the Jianghuai River to divide Cao Rui's troops.Cao Rui was terrified and sent Sima Division into Wu to speak against Sun Quan.At that time, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were intimidating, and Sun Quan was frightened, so he joined forces with Wei, fled in a hurry, and reported to the army in the north.
