A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 285
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the passing years are always unnoticed, but during this half month, things happened frequently.

Although sometimes, those things are not important, but the occasional turmoil is also very difficult to calm down in a short time.

There are new news coming from Weijing almost every day. Cao Pi is much more cautious than Cao Cao in governing Weijing.

The late period of Cao Cao's rule basically brought the Wei state into a relatively weak stage. Although in this stage, the Wei state was still in the most powerful existence, but compared with the previous ones, it was ultimately inferior.

The governance work of Jiangdong has basically come to an end. Zhuge Liang is fully in charge of Zhang Liang and Jia Xu as assistants to assist Zhuge Liang in completing part of the governance work.

Jiangdong's legal officials were set up according to Xichuan's previous deployment.

Moreover, in order to ensure the unity of management, most of the officials who previously served in Jiangdong have been replaced at this time!

Most of the officials who were eliminated and replaced were sent to Jingzhou to be appointed by Guan Yu.

In fact, it was not necessary to do this originally, but Du Huo was worried that if too many officials were dismissed, it might cause changes in the original Jiangdong forces!
Therefore, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate the rule, Du Huo had no choice but to let Guan Yu clean up the mess.

Fortunately, Jingzhou has a vast area, and the number of officials needed everywhere is just in a state of scarcity!Therefore, when Jiangdong officials are assigned to Jingzhou, most of them can also assume corresponding responsibilities and complete the unified deployment!
Judging from the overall situation, the governance plans of Jiangdong Jingzhou and Xichuan have basically achieved the goal of great unification at this time!
Although some details have not been completely perfected, in terms of governance and unification, a relatively overall situation has basically formed!
After half a month of recuperation, this is also the return of some wounded who were forced to withdraw from the battlefield and returned to the army.

Moreover, Xichuan, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong also sent a considerable number of vital forces to Du Huo's army during this period.

As of a few days ago, according to the statistics of soldiers, the total number of soldiers in Du Huo's army had reached 70!
Although not as good as the peak state of the Northern Expedition, this number is really satisfactory.

One night, new information came from Wei Jing again.

According to intelligence reports, Sun Quan and Lu Meng have successfully entered Wei territory at this time, and have established contact with Cao Pi.

It's just that Cao Pi was not too decisive for a while, and wanted to take in Sun Quan!
However, although he was still hesitating, he did not reveal that he wanted to reject Sun Quan's idea!

At the same time, in the palace of the Emperor's Mansion in Luoyang City.

"Sun Quan of Soochow, has he arrived?"

Even though night had already fallen, the palace hall was still full of officials.

The bright lights illuminated the entire palace as if it were daytime.

Cao Pi sat in the first place, lying on his back on the left side, and asked the eunuch next to him slowly.

"Your Majesty, Sun Quan has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, but he has not received your edict, so he dare not enter the palace!"

The eunuch spoke in a high-pitched voice, his voice slightly harsh and unpleasant.

"Oh... someone please invite him in! He has been here for several days, and it's a bit too rude to keep him in the air like this!"

Cao Pi smiled. At this time, he could be said to have put on a good show in front of Sun Quan. He avoided seeing him for a few days, which can be regarded as a display of his majesty!
But now, everything is ready, and it is indeed time to meet and talk in detail.

"Here!"

"Xuandong Wu Sun Quan enters the palace!"

The eunuch bowed in response to the order, then shouted, and immediately passed Cao Pi's order to the outside of the hall.

Hearing the sound, at this moment, they were standing outside the hall, waiting for Sun Quan to summon them. Sun Quan and Lu Meng immediately took off their swords, took off their shoes, and walked into the hall with bare feet.

"Wu Wang Sun Quan pays homage to His Majesty the Great Wei!"

"The last general Lu Meng pays his respects to His Majesty!"

After entering the main hall, Sun Quan stood up straight and bowed his hands in salute, while Lu Meng bowed directly!

So generally, the difference between monarch and minister should be reflected!
"Presumptuous! Sun Quan, when you see His Majesty, you don't kneel down to pay homage. Could it be that you want to sit on an equal footing with His Majesty?"

Seeing that Sun Quan had not bowed down, the eunuch beside Cao Pi immediately became angry.

In fact, he was just taking advantage of Cao Pi's majesty to pretend to be a tiger!

However, what he said at the time was indeed what Cao Pi thought.

After all, Sun Quan has never been on the throne of God after all, so his current status is after all slightly lower than Cao Pi!
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to practice kneeling and worshiping.

However, since the two sides do not belong to the same camp, if they just meet as the monarchs of both sides of the alliance!
Then this kneeling ceremony is naturally unnecessary!
Therefore, as soon as the eunuch spoke, he immediately attracted Lu Meng's rebuttal.

"Elder-in-law, my lord, the King of Wu, and the Emperor of Great Wei are allies, and should be treated as equals!
Now taking off the sword and taking off the shoes has already given the Emperor Wei enough face. If I were to be asked to bow down again, it would be a bit too polite, wouldn't it? "

From a normal point of view, there was nothing wrong with Lu Meng's rebuttal, after all, what he said was the truth.

So when he said these words, many ministers in the hall also nodded in agreement!
However, the eunuch was still relentless and continued his sophistry!

"As an ally, King Wu and Sun Quan do have the same status as His Majesty!
But now, King Sun Quan of Wu has long since lost his foundation, and even the ancestral land of Jiangdong has been taken away by Liu Bei!
And under such circumstances, how can King Sun Quan of Wu and my Majesty be allies?

And since they can't be allies with each other, there can't be any shortage of etiquette that distinguishes between superiority and inferiority!

If you don't show respect, it is tantamount to committing a serious crime of bullying the king!
As for the weight and severity of this and how many sins, I'm afraid you should also be considerate in your heart, right? "

The eunuch's words were neither light nor serious, which not only gave Sun Quan face, but also returned Lu Meng's rebuttal.

In addition, what he said at this time is also Cao Pi's idea, and about this, Lu Meng and Sun Quan can naturally see it.

Therefore, when the eunuch said these words, Lu Meng naturally disappeared, what other reasons!

And Sun Quan, who had no one to back him up, had no choice but to obey the eunuch's request, bite the bullet and bow down, but performed the ritual of kneeling!

However, just when he was about to kneel down to worship, Cao Pi was indeed quite opportune, and he controlled the angle!

To dissuade him for a lifetime is to directly pull Sun Quan up from the ground!

"You don't have to be polite, King Wu. The ceremony of kneeling is only for foreigners. As for King Wu, you don't have to obey it!"

"Come here, show the seat to King Wu!"

After successfully dissuading Sun Quan, Cao Pi sent someone to move a seat and placed it on the left side of the hall.

After Sun Quan thanked Cao Pi, he sat on the seat as a matter of course, completely different from the ministers who were in the hall at this time!
"I heard that King Wu has been here for a long time, but I don't know why King Wu is here?" After Sun Quan took his seat, he asked calmly.

"Return to your majesty, this king is here for Jiangdong! Now, Liu Bei is proclaiming himself emperor in Xichuan, fighting against your majesty from afar.

And this king, as your ally, Your Majesty, has directly become Liu Bei's sledgehammer.

As a result, the land of Jiangdong was lost in the end, and this king was also desperate, so he had no choice but to ask His Majesty for help!

I implore Your Majesty to send troops to help me take back the land of Jiangdong, and completely wipe out Liu Bei's attacking rebel army! "

Sun Quan gritted his teeth when he said these words. In fact, when he said these words, Sun Quan really put his emotions into it!
After all, it is estimated that anyone would resent the tragic experience of such a ruined foundation and being captured.

Even though he had reached a settlement with Du Huo at this time, the settlement at this time would inevitably be somewhat threatening.

Therefore, whenever Sun Quan thought of this incident, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, when describing this incident, the resentment in Sun Quan's heart was also quietly unaware, and it was mixed into his words.

Although doing so could greatly increase the authenticity of his words, it also aroused Lu Meng's dissatisfaction at the same time.

Even though Lu Meng already knew the falsity of this matter at this time, he was still brought into the situation by Sun Quan's narration.

Although he did not express the dissatisfaction in his heart, the resentment in his heart could not be dissipated.

"So that's the case! In fact, I have heard about Jiangdong's incident before, but I don't know why it has developed into this appearance!
If I could send people here earlier, maybe I can also send people directly to help!
But now, the entire Jiangdong has fallen into Liu Bei's hands.And with the previous Jingzhou and Yizhou, Liu Bei's power at this time has obviously reached the highest level.

If I send troops to you at this time to recover Jiangdong, what chance do you have of winning? "

After listening to Sun Quan's narrative, Cao Pi's questions also came one after another.

"This... If His Majesty is willing to send troops to me, I estimate that the king has a [-]% chance of winning! If everything goes well, maybe the chance of winning will increase again!"

Sun Quan casually said a value, but now they all know that no matter whether the odds are high or low, it is impossible for Cao Pi to send troops to him!
Therefore, he might as well be more pertinent about the odds, so that Cao Pi has a way to refuse and a reason to agree.

"[-]% chance of winning, although it sounds a little feasible, but it's just your guess!

And we all know that everything on the battlefield is changing rapidly. At this time, the [-]% winning rate you said, I don't know what it will look like on the battlefield! "
