The Three Kingdoms

He doesn't make meaningless sows and discords.

What he has to do is to let them fight to the death.

"The one who knows the minister is none other than Your Majesty!"

Li Ru didn't have the so-called peeking color at all, his eyes radiated a cold and stern light, and said: "The ministers have already sent people to form alliances with Geta and Caracalla in secret!"

"What an alliance!" Sun Quan said: "It seems that the two of them can't escape your palm, but now that the West regards us as demons, are you so confident?!"

"Your Majesty, regardless of the East or the West, the desire for power can always make people lose some reason. They only see the power they want to see, what we give them, but they can't see what they have lost. Although there are not many of them, but without Severus's brilliance and martial arts, they must not see the fact that there will be no eggs under the nest, so I believe they will always be fooled!"

Li Ru said confidently.

Sun Quan nodded, Li Ru's grasp of people's hearts has reached its peak.

"If I want to personally conquer Rome, when is the right time?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

He was a little impatient.

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, the relationship between us and the Roman Empire has remained peaceful. During this period, our court has already begun to make preparations. If we want to enter the Roman Empire, we must first understand his history. Language and customs, know yourself and your enemy, and win a hundred battles. The Department of Education has set up more than a dozen language schools in Mesopotamia. With the help of trade exchanges between the two countries, many Roman businessmen have been hired with high salaries to rush to teachers. So far, there have been some achievements. , by the time we set off to the west, there should be no shortage of translators, and this will solve a big problem for us!"

Standing behind Sun Quan, Li Ru's eyes flickered, and after thinking about it, he said quietly: "The center of gravity of the imperial court's soldiers and horses is now in the Roman Empire, and large-scale troops have begun to move westward. Under the leadership of Xun Yu, the land has accumulated a lot of capital. The minister believes that the war can already start next year, but if His Majesty wants to conquest himself, he must wait until the front line is stabilized. With absolute trust, His Majesty can rush to the western battlefield without any scruples!"

"I have always wanted to conquer that land myself!"

A sharp light burst out from Sun Quan's eyes, and his voice was scorching: "It's finally the day we've waited for!"

"I would like to lead the horse for His Majesty and go to the city of Rome!"

Li Ru nodded.

Sun Quanping calmed down and asked some casual questions: "By the way, how is Jia Wenhe doing recently?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my people are watching him very closely!"

Li Ru replied: "He should have nothing wrong with him!"

"Hard to say!"

Sun Quan smiled: "He alone has no dissent, but if he, together with Guo Fengxiao, and Xun Yu, who controls the five states in the west, and the three famous ministers of Cao and Wei, if he wants to make a fuss, there may not be no chance. !"

It is said that the emperor is suspicious, and Sun Quan sometimes thinks so.

He has been sitting firmly in the court for these years, but the more he has settled in this splendid country, the more he lacks the courage to suppress everyone in the world. The spine between them, so he always became cautious. (To be continued.)

[Text 420 Chapter [-] Prelude to the Great War]

Has Sun Quan changed?

He has indeed changed.

Instead of being bold and bold, he became a little cautious in doing things, and even a little suspicious.

But this cannot be blamed on Sun Quan's change.

Because the world is changing, if people remain unchanged, they will be abandoned by the world.

When he was fighting the country back then, Sun Quan could let go of the military power he held in his hands without any doubts, let them fight without any scruples, and trust their generals without any worries, because at that time, everyone was holding back a Heart, want to rule the world, want to end the troubled times.

At that time, everyone knew that only by uniting could they have a future. If one is prosperous and all is prosperous, one is lost.

So they have a big public heart and a small selfish heart.

But the Central Plains has been unified, the battlefield in the Central Plains has ended, and the Central Plains has entered its golden age. Naturally, it is the time when the rankings are divided into fruit and fruit. A cake is so big that everyone wants the biggest portion.

The most important thing is that people are not satisfied.

No matter how much you get, what you don't get is the best.

This can be called ambition.

It can also be said to be self-motivated.

Sun Quan now somewhat understands why those founding emperors began to calculate the general account after they became famous, and they did not hesitate to leave the name of butcher, but also crossed rivers and demolished bridges, and killed heroes.

Sometimes people are so helpless.

For example, in the current Great Wu court, although Sun Quan has firmly grasped both military and political powers, he still has to be careful about some things, and be careful that one day he will be pulled down from his high position.

Back then, in order to quickly pacify the war-torn world, after defeating Cao Wei, he spared no effort to recruit the surrenders of Cao Wei's lineage, and the sequelae left behind have begun to show.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu.

Half of Cao Cao's most important counselors have been captured by him.

This is a good thing, but also something that worries him.

Except for Guo Jia and others, Zhang He, Zhong Yao, these are all ministers who hold important powers now, and each of these people is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

One or two he thought he could hold back.

But if they finally choose to join together completely, it will inevitably make them have some ambitions in their hearts.

This is something that has to be guarded against.

As long as Guo Jia waits until after the military aircraft meeting at the end of the year, he will be able to become the Minister of the General Staff, one of the eight ministers, and control the brains of the military aircraft. Naturally, his power is not weak.

Jia Xu is now the commander of the Xiongnu Legion, controlling 10,000+ troops.

As for Xun Yu, the first prime minister of the Cao Wei Dynasty in the past, since Tianquan was forced to leave the mountain a few years ago, he is now a prosperous, visiting envoy of the five western states.

Zhang He was the commander of the Guanzhong Army.

Zhong Yao, a latecomer, took the lead and climbed to the position of the thirteen courtiers in one breath, allowing the Cao Wei family to fully participate in the highest decision-making meeting.

This naturally made Sun Quan a little jealous.

For example Xun Yu.

After the completion of the integration of the five western states, there will be at least tens of millions of people. Naturally, they are not weak. Wait a minute.

He definitely has the ability to be the chief assistant of the current cabinet. If it weren't for his background, it would not be impossible for him to overthrow Zhang Zhao and become the chief assistant.

Naturally, there is no pressure on him to manage the mere five states in the west.

Since the third year of Tianquan, the five states in the west have been connected in a line, and they have begun to build roads vigorously. With Xizhou as the center, together with Guishuang Anxi and other places, and then using Xizhou as a transit, they will connect to the Central Plains and build a beautiful Silk Road. important developments have been made.

Even if there is insufficient food in the Central Plains, relying on the capabilities of the five states in the west, without the support of Mesopotamia and the state of Lu in northern Xinjiang, it is enough to support a million troops for a year.
