Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is said that Cao Cao and Duke Qiao have an old relationship. In the past, they met the two daughters of Duke Qiao, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.  The two women have the looks of a fish and a wild goose, and the moon is shy of the flowers.  When Cao Cao saw her, he wanted to marry her.  I even swore that I, Cao Mengde, would like to conquer the world and become an emperor, and I would like to win two bridges in the east of the Yangtze River and build them on the Bronze Bird Tower, so that I can enjoy my old age and have no regrets even if I die.

    Although Cao Cao has raised 200,000 troops and is eyeing Jingzhou, he just wants to find a way to Jiangdong and capture these two Qiao and the sister of Wu Hou.  Now that Marquis Wu has given birth to his younger sister, why should he cherish his two daughters?  You should send someone to find Duke Qiao to buy these two girls and send them to Cao Cao. Cao Cao will be satisfied with all three girls, and he will be deeply grateful to Wu Hou for his kindness.  This is Fan Li's plan to offer Xi Shi, why not do it quickly?  !  "

    When Sun Ce heard this, he felt like he was struck by thunder, and his mind immediately recalled Cao Cao's attempt to accept Sun Shangxiang, and then Mr. Qiao Guo interceded for him.  It turns out that Qiao Guolao and Cao Cao have been friends for a long time!

    ?? Qiao Guolao is exactly what Zhuge Liang calls Duke Qiao, and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are the wives of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

    Various deeds seemed to prove what Zhuge Liang said. After Sun Ce was surprised, he became furious.  Zhou Yu knew that Zhuge Liang was extremely treacherous, but he was calm and rushed to ask first.

    "There is no basis for what you say. Cao Cao wants to win two wives. Is there any proof?!"

    Zhuge Liang replied quickly.

    "What the governor didn't know was that Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Zhi, whose courtesy name was Zijian, wrote a poem. Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhi to write a fu for Er Qiao. Cao Zhi responded and wrote "Tongque Terrace Fu". The meaning of the fu is,  When Shandao and his family became the emperor, they vowed to take Erqiao. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that he would recite it every day before going to sleep to remind himself of his lifelong oath. "

    Zhou Yu¡¯s face turned dark and he asked coldly.

    "Can I remember this gift?"

    "Cao Zijian was talented and learned. I love his elegant and elegant writing, so I will keep it in mind."

    "Please try to recite it."

    Zhuge Liang immediately recited the "Ode to the Bronze Que Terrace", and it turned out to be accurate word for word. Moreover, as Zhuge Liang said, the results in the poem were consistent with Cao Cao's desire to proclaim himself emperor, ascend to the throne of emperor, and win the hearts of two Qiaos.

    After Zhou Yu heard this, he became furious, left his seat, pointed north and cursed.

    "Old thief Cao bullied me too much!"

    Sun Ce stood up angrily, pulled out the sword from his waist, and roared fiercely.

    "I will not kill the old thief!! I, Sun Bofu, have sworn not to be a human being!!! Come here!!! Immediately send an order to all the counties in Soochow to gather troops and horses in Hefei. I will personally lead the army and attack the Central Plains.  Kill the old thief and destroy the Tongque Tower!"

    When Zhuge Liang saw Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the two most powerful men in Jiangdong, he became furious and looked like crazy.  My heart was filled with joy, but I pretended to be frightened and anxious about how to start and stop.

    "In the past, the Shanyu repeatedly invaded the territory, and the emperor of Han was in charge of the overall situation. He promised to marry the princess. Now, how can the Marquis of Wu and the governor cherish the two daughters of the people?"

    When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes were red, his face was ferocious, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

    "The old thief not only lusted after my sister, but also wanted to take away my wife. How can I endure such humiliation!! I, Sun Bofu, and the old thief are incompatible with each other. I am without him!!!"

    Zhou Yu was furious and shouted.

    "What my lord said is true. How can a man endure such humiliation? I am willing to fight to the death and destroy Cao's thieves!!!"

    Zhang Zhao and Lu Su saw that the situation suddenly changed drastically and became even more out of control, so they hurriedly gave advice.

    "My lord, Cao Cao's thieves are powerful. If you want to fight against him, you must take a long-term approach and plan for it slowly. Don't act too hastily!"

    "What Zhang Gong said is absolutely true. The lord is the head of a country, so you should think twice before acting. Now I know that the old thief is evil and controls the country. The princes everywhere hate him. Why not unite all the forces in the world to fight against it?"

    The ministers from Jiangdong hurried out and remonstrated one after another.  Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had just calmed down a little, but both of them were filled with rage and murderous intent, as if they could turn the entire hall upside down.

    Zhuge Liang pretended to be horrified, Zhuge Jin quickly walked to Zhuge Liang and whispered.

    "Kong Ming, you don't know something. Da Qiao is my lord's wife, and Xiao Qiao is Zhou Yu's wife."

    Hearing this, Zhuge Liang pretended to be frightened and quickly knelt down to worship.

    "It is a capital crime to speak nonsense! A capital crime!!!"

    Sun Ce almost ground his white teeth into pieces, his domineering eyes seemed to spit out flames, and he quickly ordered.

    "Come here, I will kill this disobedient Xue Zong immediately. From today on, the Cao family in the Central Plains is our mortal enemy of Soochow. Anyone who has any liaison with him will be executed immediately!"

    Liu Huangshu¡¯s benevolence is spread all over the world, and Zhuge Liang¡¯s loyalty is unparalleled. It is the friend of our Soochow who should always be an ally. Now the old thief wants to invade Jingzhou and our allies are in trouble. How can we, Soochow, stand by and watch!  "

    ?Sun Ce's words can be said to be very convincing. First, he settled on the matter of uniting with Zhuge Liang.  However, many of Jiangdong's counselors below had expressions of surprise and uncertainty.  Zhou Yu's eyes were blazing and he responded calmly.

    "Although Cao Cao pretends to be the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. As my lord, Sun Bo Fu Shen Wu, is so talented, I think that I, Jiangdong, have well-equipped soldiers and sufficient food, and can run rampant across the world, eliminating cruelty and violence for the country!"

    I know that among the princes, there are many who are afraid of Cao Cao.  In Yu's opinion, although Cao Cao's troops are numerous, they are no more than the ears of a rat!  When Cao Cao sent troops to Jingzhou this time, he often violated military taboos.  The northwest was not at peace, and although Wen Bufan was personally leading an army to attack Yizhou, Hedong and Hanoi were guarded by his second brother Guan Yunchang, with more than 150,000 troops, which was a trouble later. However, Cao Cao ignored this and insisted on marching south.  Taboo.  Cao Cao's reputation spread far and wide, and all loyal people in the world hated him. The people in the south of the Yangtze River were willing to fight to the death to fight against Cao Cao's thieves. Cao Cao's loss of popularity was the second taboo.  It was also the middle of winter and cold, and the Central Plains had been suffering from years of fierce fighting, and there was a lack of food and grass, so there were three taboos.

    If Cao Cao violates these taboos, even though he is strong, he will definitely be defeated.  Our Lord unites with the heroes of Jingzhou, in line with the will of God and the people, to capture and kill Cao Cao today!  !  !  "

    Zhou Yu's heroic words immediately made all the officials in Jiangdong feel high-spirited, while others were extremely ashamed.  Sun Ce made a move with his sword, swung it calmly, answered the words and shouted.

    "The old thief has wanted to destroy the Han Dynasty and establish himself on his own for a long time. Now that he is called the King of Wei, it can be seen that he has long been determined to devour the world. The only people the old thief has been afraid of in his life are Yuan Yuan, Lu Bu, Wen Han, Liu Huangshu and me. Now several heroes have been destroyed.  , but I, Liu Huangshu, and Wen Han are still alive. Cao Cao and Wen Han are different in appearance, sometimes friends and sometimes enemies, so they cannot be trusted. Only Liu Huangshu has been at odds with Cao Cao throughout his life, and we share the same hatred and hatred in Jiangdong, so we should join forces.  Gong Jin has said that we should attack, and it is in line with my wishes. Now I want to unite with Jingzhou to attack the Cao thieves. Do you have any objections?"

    Sun Ce's domineering eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he stared at everyone. Those who originally wanted to join forces with Cao Cao lowered their heads and did not dare to meet Sun Ce's eyes.  Zhou Yu then knelt down in front of the lobby and shouted in a solemn voice.

    "I am willing to fight a bloody battle for my lord, and I will not give up even to the death!!!"

    As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong and other generals attended, knelt down behind Zhou Yu, and worshiped him one after another.

    "We are willing to fight a bloody battle for the Lord and fight to the death!!!"

    "Okay! With all the help I have, why worry about Cao Cao's thieves not being eliminated and my great cause failing!!!"

    If Sun Ce looks like an overlord, he will respond immediately.  The decision has been made, and no one dares to say anything about the matter of joining forces with Cao Cao.  After a while, everyone took their seats separately.  Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang quickly stood up, saluted and then accused him.  Sun Cepi said with a smile.

    "Kong Ming doesn't have to be like this, as the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known that the old thief was so arrogant! Now that our two families are united, I wonder if Kong Ming has any strategies to teach me?"

    Zhuge Liang smiled calmly and fanned.

    "Cao Cao gathered a large army in Wan County. According to my report from Jingzhou, the two hundred thousand was actually a lie. Cao Cao only gathered more than 120,000 troops this time. Cao Cao must have thought that Wu Hou was deeply resentful of the incident in Nan County.  Kong Ming wanted to take over the land of Nanjun. Therefore, Kong Ming would definitely allocate troops and horses near the Jiangdong boundary to prevent Wu Hou.

    Now, Cao Cao doesn¡¯t know that the Sun and Liu families have been united, and he thinks that Wu Hou has promised the marriage.  Why doesn't Marquis Wu take advantage of his plan? When Cao Cao's documents arrive the next day, he agrees to marry him.  Cao Cao must be very happy to receive this reward, and he can't wait to send troops to attack Jingzhou and become his son-in-law of Soochow as soon as possible.

    Immediately and secretly, troops and horses from Sijiang were transferred to Xiangyang, and each of them made transfer orders, thinking they were a surprise force.  At the same time, Cao Cao will order Wu Hou to cross the river and attack Jingzhou's front and rear.  Wu Hou followed his plan and sent only a few troops to bluff, but deployed most of the troops to Hefei and Danyang. Taking advantage of the great war between the North and the South, he divided his troops into Xuzhou and Yuzhou.  If Xuzhou and Yuzhou are lost, Cao Cao's army will definitely be in chaos. In order to protect the overall situation, Cao Cao will decisively withdraw his troops and send reinforcements. He will immediately lead the people in Jingzhou to cover up and kill, and act according to the opportunity, either to attack the Central Plains or to fight in Yuzhou.  Cao Cao's territories under his jurisdiction were invaded by soldiers in many areas, and he was powerless. Even if he had the wisdom of the world, it would be difficult to resist the great power of your and my two families' alliance!  At that time, you and I will each take advantage and share the profits, slowly encroaching on the territory under Cao Cao's jurisdiction. How can Cao Cao's thieves have the power to recover?  ?  "

    Zhuge Liang has a lot of witty words. Although his strategy is somewhat the same as Zhuge Jin, it is more sophisticated.  Sun Ce nodded when he heard Ba Mu shooting jing rays continuously.  Zhou Yu also repeatedly praised in his heart that Zhuge Liang's strategies coincided with his, and most of them were almost the same.  All the Jiangdong ministers below were also filled with admiration.

    At this moment, Lu Xun stood up and finished the ceremony, and asked in a solemn voice.

    "Although your plan is good, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. I'm afraid things may not turn out as you expected. So what will happen then?"

    Zhuge Liang smiled calmly after hearing this, and gave Lu Xun an approving look.

      "Bo Yan is concerned that Kong Ming has already made up his mind. In the future, Cao Cao's envoy will rush back to Jiangdong to deliver documents. As long as this is the case, Cao Cao will definitely be there!!!"

    Zhuge Liang came up with another clever plan, and all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong looked horrified.  Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu silently, with fear in their eyes.

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s intelligence is so terrifying that it can even be described as unfathomable. With his assistance in the future, if Liu Bei builds the foundation, he will definitely become a serious problem for Jiangdong!  !  !

    Under Zhuge Liang's strategy, Sun Ce had made a rough plan to deal with Cao Cao, and all the troops were secretly deployed.  Zhuge Liang also sneaked back to Jingzhou soon to prepare for the upcoming war.

    But he said that Liu Ye rushed to Luoyang without stopping at night to restore Cao Cao.  Cao Cao heard that Sun Ce intended to agree to the alliance between Cao and Sun families. Now as long as he nods and agrees to marry Sun Shangxiang as his wife, the marriage will be finalized.

    However, Cao Cao was also quite embarrassed by Sun Ce's request.  After all, none of his wives are easy to deal with. There was already a lot of trouble because he wanted to take Sun Shangxiang as his concubine. Now if he wants to change Sun Shangxiang to his equal wife, I am afraid that the Wei Palace will be in trouble.

    Cao Cao frowned deeply, and his whole head began to hurt.  Guo Jia seemed to be aware of Cao Cao's distress and remonstrated with a smile.

    "Why should the king be troubled? But let's promise Dongwu first. Once Jingzhou is defeated, the king will march to the border of Dongwu and connect Sun Shangxiang to the Central Plains. Will it be up to the king to decide who is his wife or concubine? Even if he is the real king.  If you want to make Sun Shangxiang your concubine, what can Sun Bofu do?"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he was enlightened and burst into laughter.

    "Hahaha!! The concept of filial piety is very high, very high!!!"
