Sun Quan nodded and said, "All the ministers, Western Shu have won consecutive battles in the past year, and now they have occupied the three states. Although Guanzhong has not been taken away by them, the martial arts, the city of Jicheng and Chencang have all fallen into the hands of Western Shu. Most of the south of the Wei River belongs to Western Shu. It is only a matter of time before Chang'an falls into Western Shu.

If Chang'an is captured by Western Shu, the situation in the world will change drastically. Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang have been talking about the Sanxing Han Dynasty, which will be impossible, will this indicate that the Liu family's destiny has not declined, and the old things of Guangwu's revival will reappear."

Gu Yong, Lu Xun and others looked at each other and knew that their lord did not have much confidence in the next move. This is not a good sign. If their lord had no confidence in the next move, wouldn’t their efforts over the years be wasted?

In fact, as early as the third year of Zhangwu, the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Wu had already had the intention of usurping. At that time, the Eastern Wu first defeated the Han army led by Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling, and then defeated the Cao Wei army on the battlefields of Xiangfan and other fields. In just one year, the Eastern Wu defeated Cao Wei and the two major forces of Liu and Han, and the prosperity of the country was shaking the north and south.

Therefore, many important officials of the Eastern Wu felt that the destiny belonged to the Sun family, and submitted memorials to Sun Quan as emperor.

Although Sun Quan was extremely happy, he always felt that Wei Gu, the foundation of the Eastern Wu, would have the possibility of offending Cao Wei, Liu and Han forces, underestimating the situation, Sun Quan did not accept the persuasion of the ministers, and endured his reputation for a moment, and turned his back down and turned to this day.

Even the year name Huang Wu was chosen by Huang Chu of Cao Wei and Zhangwu of the two families of Ji Han. Using this year name, Dongwu clearly did not want to offend Cao Wei and Ji Han.

Gu Yong bowed his hand and said, "Supreme, the Grand Governor of Lu Sulu had already put forward the conclusion that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated and the Han Dynasty cannot be revived. The Liu family has been established for four hundred years. The ancients said that King Wen pulled a cart for 800 steps and the Zhou Dynasty has been in the world for eight hundred years. The Liu family has not received the assistance of the saints, and there is no great merit of Ji family in the world. For four hundred years, the world has been blessed with a long time.

The saint said that the world is the world of the people of the world, and only those who are virtuous live there. The supreme is the descendant of Sun Wu. The saint passed on the family. Now that the Liu family has lost its country, the supreme inherits the destiny of heaven with its majestic and powerful posture and talent, establishes the country and passes on the world, and is deeply trusted in the country and enjoys the hearts of the people. The nine provinces and all directions admire it. The supreme should respond to the destiny of heaven, bow down to the hearts of the people, inherit the great rule, and be the master of the world. Only then can we not violate the wishes of the people."

"The Supreme, what the Prime Minister said is very good. Now Wuchang, Moling and other places have auspicious births, which can be shown that the destiny of heaven will return to Wu. Although the Supreme is humble and resigns, it is better not to go against the will of heaven and the will of the people. It should be subject to the request of the subjects in Jiangdong to ascend to the throne, establish the country, inherit the will of the people, and fight against the rebels. In this way, our Eastern Wu base can be built for all generations, and all people in later generations admire it?"

"I have known all the ministers who ask and the people who want. However, the three generations of our Sun family were all Han ministers, loyal to the country, and have no selfishness. If you rashly call yourself honor, you may not be effective in the world. Then you will offend Wei and Shu countries. If you attack the two families, the foundation of our Eastern Wu three generations may no longer exist." Sun Quan still looked worried.

Zhu Huan said: "The Supreme One, when Qin lost his deer in the past, he chased him all over the world. Now, the Han lost his deer in the world and can also chase him all over the world. The Supreme One is to take care of the saints and follow the people of all over the world. The Supreme One should allow the requests of the subjects of the world and not postpone it."

"It's just that the Liu family has established the country for four hundred years and has made great contributions to the country. Now Liu Chan takes Xichuan as the basis, took Hanzhong and captured Yongliang, and has almost achieved the achievements of Emperor Gaozu and Guangwu. My Sun family has eaten the Han fortune in the world. How could he turn against the wise ruler and follow the thief?" Sun Quan said.

Originally, after the Battle of Shiting, Sun Quan was full of confidence, thinking that he could defeat Cao Wei by his own efforts, reject Shu Han, and founded the country on the basis of everything. However, with Ji Han's success in the past two months, Sun Quan's self-confidence became unconfident again. He was afraid that after becoming emperor, he would induce Cao Wei and Ji Han's families to attack, and then he would be attacked from both sides.

Quan Cong comforted him: "The supreme, there is no two days in heaven, and no two masters in earth. Now Liu and Cao both talk about the destiny of heaven. Isn't it that Liu and Cao have no destiny, and only I, Sun, can be the lord of the world.

The Supreme One, the so-called "resolution and constant confusion" will be caused by the confusion. The Supreme One should not be burdened by reputation and stagnant. It is advisable to follow the decree of heaven and man to become the throne and be powerful in all the seas. In this way, it can meet the expectations of all the ministers, and can also follow the hearts of the people in all the seas."

"Well. If the destiny is in me, I will be King Wen of Zhou." Sun Quan still did not dare to make a decision.

Gu Yong knew his concerns and said, "If the Supreme One still has concerns, you can let Ziyu vent the words of the Lord of Shu and Zhuge Liang in Shu."

"Well, this is a great good person, Ziyu, and this matter is left to you to fully handle." Sun Quan said without any objection.

"Abide by the Supreme Order." Zhuge Jin immediately responded.

In the temple of Jicheng County, Yang Qingzheng and Guan Xing made the final explanation. Now that the war is over, it is time for him to lead the army back to Longyou. After all, the focus of Yongzhou's governance is still west of Longshan.

"Anguo, you will leave your martial arts to you. This is the gateway to the Wei army. If you cannot protect it, then the city of Qi and Chen Cang will be in danger." Yang Qing said.

Guan Xing nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have me in martial arts for one day, and there should be no danger in both the two places of Fucheng and Chencang."

"Well. If you can't hold on, call Yin Yun immediately. I have already explained to him that he will fully cooperate with you." Yang Qing said.

Yin Yun is the number one figure in the rebel army. Over the past few days, he has not only cooperated with the main army to complete a number of important tasks, but also has a military vision to help the main army conquer cities and land, kill generals and seize flags, and never fail to go against it.

Therefore, Yang Qing had already reported to Zhuge Liang that he was a general who led 3,000 troops to guard the city of Chicheng. In addition, thousands of families of the rebel army have moved to Chicheng one after another. Nearly 10,000 military and civilians will carry out military farming, raising troops, protecting the people, resting and accumulating people's strength based on Chicheng.

As for the most important pass, Chen Cang and Yang Qing were handed over to Liu Yin to garrison. Today, unlike in the past, the Chen Cang Wei River Road in the past has basically fallen into the hands of the Han army, and the status of Chen Cang, the important town has become much weaker. Therefore, Yang Qing only asked Liu Yin to lead the troops and two armies to garrison, thinking that the back of the two places of Martial Arts was the response.

In addition, Chencang and Meicheng are also the end points of Chencang Road and Baoxie Road. Now that these two cities have fallen into Ji Han's hands, it means that there is no obstacle to Chencang Road and Baoxie Road. The food and grass transported from Hanzhong should be transported smoothly to the Guanzhong front line.

After Yang Qing's explanation, Guan Xing had already arranged the Wei River line in Ming, and nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, as long as Guan is in one day, the Wei army will not want to cross Wugong City."

"Well, the Prime Minister and the others have returned to Hanzhong. After I return to Shangqian to sort out the matter of Yongzhou, you will go to Hanzhong with me to discuss the next stage strategy.

Although the results of this Northern Expedition are not as great as those at the beginning of the year, Cao Wei’s Guanzhong defense line was finally torn apart by us, and the recovery of Chang'an is just around the corner. Therefore, your contribution will never be eliminated." Yang Qing said,

Guan Xing said: "How dare you express your merits when Xing has made a small contribution? This Northern Expedition ended up being a bit terrible."

"You don't have to be discouraged. This Northern Expedition was to respond to the fact that the Eastern Wu was on the Eastern Front. It is rare to have such a result without competing for all efforts, so there is no need to be too discouraged. I believe that the next Northern Expedition will inevitably lead to earth-shaking changes." Yang said.

Guan Xing said: "I hope this is the case."
