Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Master Sima was so young, but he was calm, steady and polite, secretly saying that Sima Yi taught his son well.  Jia Xu then introduced Xu Chu, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Hao Zhao and others to Sima Shi one by one.  Master Sima bowed down one by one. Cao Pi and Hao Zhao were both discerning men, and they saw Master Sima's extraordinary qualities and did not look down upon him.  As for Xu Chu and Cao Zhang, they secretly marveled at the sight of Sima's teacher and student, who had a huge back and a bear's waist, and a pair of huge ape arms that could tear a tiger apart and capture a bear, but they did not look down upon them.  Sima Shi then handed Cao Cao's documents to Jia Xu.  Jia Xu's face was shocked, and he suddenly smiled and talked to Xu Chu and others.

    "Haha. Just wait and see, as I expected, Your Majesty has a plan!"

    Master Sima's face darkened after hearing this, but he couldn't speak out about making peace.  I saw Jia Xu opening the document, his eyes flickering, and he looked at it quickly, his expression changed continuously, and finally he sighed.

    "Your Majesty has great talent and great strategy, and his strategy is so unpredictable that he is actually a hundred times better than someone else!!"

    When Master Sima heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he was confused for a moment.  Xu Chu, Cao Pi and others also came to ask questions one after another. Jia Xu laughed and did not answer, but taught the generals to prepare in this way.

    I don¡¯t know what Cao Cao is brewing in this compartment.  At the same time, in the Wuxian main hall.  Sun Quan sat high on the throne, laughing loudly and with a happy face, and spoke to His Highnesses Zhu Ran and Lu Dai.

    "Hahahaha!! Okay! Okay!! Okay!!! Boyan has lived up to Gu's high expectations!! Yi Feng, Ding Gong and you have all made great contributions. This time you not only help Gu defeat the Wei invaders, but also burn them down."  Taking most of the Wei invaders' baggage into account, the Wei invaders' baggage can last for at most seven or eight days. When these seven or eight days pass, the Wei invaders' food supply will be exhausted, and the army's morale will be in chaos.  The old thief was captured, and he killed a handsome man in vain for the sake of Dongwu. He will take revenge and avenge his previous shame!"

    After Sun Quan finished laughing, Zhu Ran and Lu Dai were both made generals and each received rewards of gold, silver and jewels.  The two of them thanked him and returned to the back of the table.  Sun Quan then rewarded Lu Su, Lu Meng and other meritorious generals one by one. The generals were overjoyed and thanked them one after another.  Afterwards, Lu Su looked calm and spoke to Sun Quan.

    "As Yi Feng and Ding Gong said. Zhuge Kongming and other remnants of Shu have contributed indispensably to our army's great victory. When the war is over, Soochow will be pacified. The king should reward them one by one to win over them.  His heart. Liu Bei's son Liu Chan is still young and cannot control the overall situation. If the king can use Zhuge Kongming and other remaining Shu ministers, we will be more powerful than a tiger!"

    When Sun Quan heard this, his blue eyes shone brightly, and he nodded heavily in response.

    "What Zijing said is true. I already know it."

    At this time, Zhang Zhao suddenly appeared and remonstrated with his hands.

    "The old thief has always been cunning and treacherous, and must not be taken lightly. For example, in the battle of Hebei in the past, Yuan Benchu ??had the upper hand, but the old thief used his strategy to finally turn the tide and turn defeat into victory. Now that the war is at a critical moment, the king is more cautious about being fooled.  "

    When Sun Quan heard this, his expression tightened and he asked in a solemn voice.

    "Oh? Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, how about being alone?"

    "The old thief does not have much baggage and will retreat in a few days. Our army will remain stationary to observe its changes. When the time comes, the morale of his army will be shattered and he will attack in full force. This is a sure way to win."

    Zhang Zhaoji spoke sternly, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice.  After hearing this, Sun Quan turned his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials. Everyone seemed to agree with what Zhang Zhao said and responded one after another.  Sun Quan obeyed.

    The battle of Wuxian seems to be a foregone conclusion.  But the so-called soldiers are deceitful.  Cao Cao went through countless wars in his life, and he was able to brave the wind and waves and turn the tide every time. Only then was he able to establish the empire, create the great Wei Dynasty, and gain two-thirds of the world.  How could such a peerless hero be willing to sit back and wait for death!  ?

    The next day, Cao Zhen took the order, led dozens of people, and rushed directly to the gate of Wu County. He shouted loudly and announced his intention.  The soldiers heard this and hurriedly came to report to Lu Meng.  Lu Meng heard that Cao Cao sent his fake son Cao Zhen as an envoy to make peace.  After hearing this, Lu Meng frowned. After thinking for a while, he quickly sent his soldiers to inform Sun Quan.

    Soon, Sun Quan sent someone to report back and summoned Cao Zhen into the city to see him.  Lu Meng then taught the soldiers to open the city gate and lead Cao Zhen all the way to the main hall in the city.  When he was young, Cao Zhen followed Lu Meng to the front of the hall.  Cao Zhen did not dare to be presumptuous at all, so he bowed first.  When Sun Quan saw that Cao Zhen was not as aggressive as the previous Wei envoy, his cold expression improved and he said coldly.

    "Wu and Wei are at odds with each other. You are an old thief and a faker. What are you doing here!?"

    When Cao Zhen heard this, he showed no fear, spoke slowly and calmly.

    "I heard that the King of Wu was full of benevolence and righteousness all over the world, and he was deeply respected by the people. He was a wise king of his generation. When I heard this question today, I was really disappointed!!"

    As soon as Cao Zhen said this, Zhang Zhao's expression suddenly changed, he shouted angrily.

    "Don't be so presumptuous, Shuzi! How can I, the majestic King of Soochow and the lord of a country, allow you, an ignorant child, to slander you like this!!"

    ??After hearing this, Cao Zhen sneered and spoke quickly.

    "I was ordered by Emperor Wei to come to make peace and treat each other with courtesy. If the King of Wu is a benevolent and righteous ruler, he should treat each other with courtesy, how can he say anything to make things difficult!?"

    "Hmph, what a sharp-tongued madman!! Your Majesty, this son is Cao Mengde's fake son, why not capture him, and when our army fights Wei, cut off his head and sacrifice the flag for the three armies!!  "

    Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and spoke quickly to Sun Quan.  Sun Quan's expression was condensed, but he waved his hand and spoke to Cao Zhen solemnly.

    "Emperor Wei wants to make peace with Gu, but he doesn't know that the hatred between Wu and Wei is deep. This matter is difficult to do! You retreat quickly and tell Emperor Wei that Gu and the heroes of Soochow have long decided to fight to the death with him. Make peace.  Don¡¯t mention it again!¡±

    Cao Zhen listened, but was unmoved and just sneered.  Sun Quan felt a fire of ignorance in his heart and scolded coldly.

    "Cao Zidan, why are you laughing!?"

    ¡°I laugh at the King of Wu, he doesn¡¯t understand the overall situation, and he will surely be destroyed in the future!!¡±

    Cao Zhen responded immediately, with sharp words. As soon as he said this, Lu Meng and other generals shouted angrily, each with murderous intent, as if they wanted to tear Cao Zhen into pieces.  Sun Quan shouted in a stern voice, his blue eyes gleaming with power, and his voice was cold and clear.

    "Cao Zidan, do you know what happened to the envoys of the Wei Dynasty last time when you and other envoys of the Wei Dynasty were talking shamelessly and humiliating each other in this hall!?"

    "I have also heard about this matter. That man is arrogant and ignorant of etiquette. He is detrimental to the image of our great Wei Dynasty. He deserves to be killed!"

    Cao Zhen answered quickly.  After hearing this, Sun Quan's cold expression faded slightly, and he spoke to Cao Zhen again.

    "You actually know this, how dare you be so presumptuous!?"

    "King Wu, calm down. Listen to me. Although Soochow now has the upper hand, if King Wu cuts off our way of survival, we will have no choice but to fight to the death. In this case, both sides will suffer. Now the Western Tang Dynasty has been overthrown by the Shu Han for nearly a year, and to the west  With Tang Wang Wen Bufan's ability, Xichuan must have been stabilized. Wen Bufan is an ambitious man. It won't take long to take advantage of the situation when both the Wei and Soochow are defeated, and we, the Wei, still have hundreds of thousands to guard in the Central Plains.  . However, Soochow's troops are now almost exhausted. When Wen Bufan's soldiers and horses from the Western Tang Dynasty are able to resist Wen Bufan, it is advisable to proceed by land from Jiaozhou. In this way, Soochow will have no danger of the Yangtze River.  The army of the Western Tang Dynasty has always been elite, and the only one who can fight against it is the army of the Wei Dynasty. The king of Wu must know the pros and cons, and it depends on the king of Wu!"

    Cao Zhen¡¯s eyes were sharp, reaching into Sun Quan¡¯s eyes.  Sun Quan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he was frightened for a while. He didn't know how to answer for a while. At this moment, all the Dongwu civil and military officials in the palace also had worried expressions on their faces, not knowing what to do.  Lu Su's face tightened and he went to greet Sun Quan.

    "If this is the case, why don't the king take a look at what Emperor Wei said in his letter?"

    Sun Quan frowned after hearing this. After pondering for a while, he still followed Lu Su's words.  Cao Zhen hurriedly handed over the letter, and Sun Quan opened it and looked at it. His original cold expression suddenly dissipated.  It turned out that in Cao Cao's letter, he first comforted him with kind words, then stated his interests and risks, and even promised to return to all the lands he occupied.  As for the previous hostage-taking of Sun Shangxiang, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and others, Cao Cao did not mention a word.  Sun Quan's face darkened and he spoke to Cao Zhen.

    "The Emperor Wei's intention is very sincere. But after all, Wei is the first to invade without justice. If Gu makes peace with Wei so easily, what will happen to the country of Soochow!? This is a serious matter, so please step aside and rest at the post for the time being.  I will summon you after I discuss it with all the ministers."

    When Cao Zhen heard this, he didn't bother much. After bowing respectfully, he quickly retreated with several soldiers.

    "This son is calm and composed. No wonder he is highly appreciated by the old thief and he is adopted as his adopted son."

    After Cao Zhen left, Zhang Zhao held his chin to grow his beard and said slowly.  Sun Quan's blue eyes narrowed, his color changed slightly, and he asked his zuoyou courtiers to announce Cao Cao's letter.  After the announcement, Sun Quan then asked everyone again.

    "Do you think the old thieves are sincere in making peace this time?"

    Zhang Zhao thought for a while, nodded silently and answered.

    "The old thief knew he had learned from the past, but he still dared to send his fake son here, and listened to what he said in the letter, which shows his sincerity."

    After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yong answered.

    "What the Prime Minister said is true. Yong Shi just listened to Cao Zhen's theory, and Mo Yue was taught by the old thief. The old thief worked hard, maybe because he knew it was difficult to disobey, and he wanted to make peace, so he retreated from the hinterland to save his life.  "

    After hearing this, Sun Quan smiled coldly and said calmly.

    "Hmph!! The old thief is helpless, but he wants to make peace and live? Is there anything so cheap in the world!?"

    As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Lu Meng's expression was shocked, his tiger eyes shone, and he spoke to Sun Quan.

    "What the king said is absolutely true. The old thief wants to kill you."??Everyone in the world knows what his heart is like.  If we don't take the opportunity to kill him this time, the old thief will definitely come back in the future. This is actually letting the tiger go back to the mountain and leaving behind trouble!  !  "

    After Lu Meng finished speaking, Zhao Zi suddenly said again.

    "But what Cao Zidan said is not false. If the Western Tang Dynasty were to reap the benefits of the fishermen and take advantage of the weakness to attack, it would be difficult for us to defend the situation!!"

    As soon as Zhao Zi said this, the expressions of all the civil and military personnel in the palace suddenly changed.  Sun Quan took a deep breath and hesitated.  L¨¹ Meng seemed to have expected this and spoke harshly to Sun Quan.
