After Sun Quan struck down Jiaoshu (present-day Liangguang and other areas), he tasted the flavor of lychee, but Sun Quan's appetite was not yet satisfied. He was whimsical and stood on his tiptoes to look into the distant northeast. At that time, the Northeast and the Eastern Wu were separated by a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters. Why would he suddenly dream of the icy north of Serbia when he was used to living in the south of Jiangnan with apricot blossoms and spring rains? The reason is absurd. Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong wanted to break away from Cao Wei and set up his own mountain, and he wanted to find another person to be his backer, and the person he looked for was Sun Quan.
Gongsun Yuan killed his uncle to seize power
This man was called Gongsun Yuan, a native of Xiangping, Liaodong (present-day Liaoyang, Liaoning province), who was appointed by Cao Wei as the governor of Liaodong.
His grandfather and father were both made governor of Liaodong during the Han Dynasty. Toward the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his father, Gongsun Kang, submitted to Cao Cao. When his father died, Gongsun Yuan was still young, and a group of generals felt that the world was too chaotic for a small child to stabilize, so they installed Gongsun Kung, Gongsun Kang's younger brother, as a governor. Cao Pi also recognized the fact, and posthumously recognized Gongsun Kang as the grand secretary of state, showing preferential treatment.
By the time Gongsun Yuan grew up, he was mentally unbalanced, and his uncle took his hand. Soon Gongsun Yuan killed Gongsun Gong and took the position of the governor by force, and then reported to the Wei court. The fact that Gongsun Yuan killed Gongsun Gong before reporting to the court was a clear challenge to the court's authority, but Wei, with Shu and Wu to its south, had no choice but to compromise and continue to pursue a policy of favoritism, making Gongsun Yuan the general of Yanglie and the governor of Liaodong.
But Gongsun Yuan became timid when he was appointed by Wei. He was afraid day and night, thinking that Cao Wei's mouth is honeyed and his sword is in his mouth, when will he settle the scores?
Gongsun Yuan was a humble servant to the Eastern Wu
In order to find a safe way out, he also started to look for friends, and found his way to the Eastern Wu, where he made tentative secret passes to Sun Quan. Cao Hiei, the Ming Emperor of Wei, took a look, this is the rhythm of cheating ah. He immediately sent troops to attack Liaodong, but to no avail. Gongsun Yuan is more afraid, since the cheating is exposed, simply tear the face, and Sun Quan no longer cover up, blatant letter of the goose.
Sun Quan did the emperor is suffering from no turf expansion, a see Gongsun Yuan threw to the embroidered ball, can not help but be happy. Immediately sent people to Gongsun Yuan to send a letter, willing to live forever, never negative. I'm not sure if I can do it right, but I'm not sure if I can do it right, because I don't know how to do it right.
At that time, it was very difficult to go all the way from Dongwu to Northeast China, and the land route could not be traveled, which was all controlled by Cao Wei. Only from the sea all the way to the north, across the ocean to see you. The messengers went to the road is quite smooth, turn back through today's Shandong Peninsula, was ambushed by the Wei army, all were killed, pay the price of love. But no matter what, the letter has been sent to Gongsun Yuan.
A few months later, Gongsun Yuan wrote back, calling Sun Quan "Your Majesty" and himself a humble minister, bragging about how he'd been treated, making people vomit. He said that Sun Quan is "no longer out of virtue, time is not the world meets" of the Ming dynasty, Sun Quan wrote a letter, is "day is the eulogy, the night is a dream", that is, to the degree of thinking about it.
Sun Quan is 51 years old, slowly changing mindset, can not listen to the words of the ear, like to listen to others sing praises, fantasizing about the dream of unification of the world. A year later, in 233 A.D., Sun Quan made Gongsun Yuan the king of Yan, and expanded his territory to include Youzhou and Qingzhou (today's Hebei and Shandong), which, of course, Gongsun Yuan had to fight for on his own, and Sun Quan just drew a cake for him. In March of that year, Sun Quan thought that since he had settled down, he had to send some colorful gifts over to express his sincerity. So he sent Zhang Mi and Xu Yan to lead an army of about 10,000 people and brought a lot of gold and silver treasures to visit Gongsun Yuan.
The ministers were against it
The ministers were so noisy that they exploded, and they were all advising: this man is a double-minded person, surely he can't be relied on, ah? The most powerful voice of the opposition, Zhang Zhao, said to Sun Quan: If Gongsun Yuan really sincere, it should be publicly and Cao Wei cut off relations, now his attitude is ambiguous, we do not let the world laugh?
Sun Quan and he could not argue, so angry that he took a knife to cut the case, said to Zhang Zhao: Wu people into the palace is to worship me, out of the palace to worship you, I respect you enough, but you always do not give me face, I was afraid that I would miss and hurt you.
But Zhang Zhao is also tenacious, gazed at Sun Quan for a long time, said: I know my words do not sound good, but the reason why I want to do my best to be foolishly loyal every time is because when the Empress Dowager was on her deathbed, she summoned me under the bed and asked me to assist you, and these words are still in my ears today!
Upon hearing this, Sun Quan was also particularly sad and threw his sword on the ground and cried with Zhang Zhao in a hug. But Sun Quan's crying is just a momentary emotional impulse, and when Zhang Zhao went back, or according to the established guidelines to do, send people to send a hefty meet and greet gift.
Zhang Zhao was so angry that he claimed to be sick and never went to court again.
Nearly all of the 10,000 people of Eastern Wu were killed
Wei had already gotten the information, and made two preparations, one was to intercept in the Shandong Peninsula; the other was to sweet-talk Gongsun Yuan, promising to increase the number of officials, while sending a heavy army to press the border.
Dong Wu was smart enough to avoid Wei's army this time, and reached the Northeast after a lot of hard work. Although Gongsun Yuan has been clamoring for a breakup with Wei, it is still quite difficult to really take this step. The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the situation, and that you have a good idea of what is going on.
So instantly turn around and Wei fixed, on the natural face of the East Wu turned merciless. The gold, silver and treasure sent, all smiled, 10,000 soldiers is a destabilizing factor, most of the booby-trapped, cut down Zhang Mi and other people's heads to the Wei court.
