But it was said that after Cao Cao defeated the Yuan family and unified the north, he sent envoys to Jiangdong to recruit Sun Quan to surrender, and ordered Sun Quan to send his son to the court as a hostage. It is estimated that no prince would be willing to do this kind of thing, but Cao Cao was indeed powerful. Many princes had to compromise in the end even if they were unwilling. Aren't Ma Teng and others also sent their sons to the court? . At this time, any person has so many sons. Usually, hostage matters are just like the so-called marriage. There is not much substantial guarantee, and it is more of a superficial effort. But whether it's superficial or not, something is better than nothing. As for the princes, none of them wanted to be the leader or be attacked by Cao Cao, so almost all of them compromised. Just like Gongsun Kang who killed the Yuan brothers in Liaodong and dedicated their heads to Cao Cao. However, there have been many heroes in Jiangdong since ancient times. If everyone in this world is like those other guys, unwilling to be the leader and choose to compromise and be patient, then in the end the world will be easily taken over by Cao Cao like a frog boiled in warm water. On the contrary, there are so many people in the world who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao. As long as someone can take the lead in resisting Cao Cao and achieve certain results, I believe that various places will follow suit and raise the flag of rebellion. In the past, there were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, both of whom were young and energetic, fearless in both heaven and earth. Needless to say, they must be brave enough to fight. Now, although Sun Ce is gone, Zhou Yu is still there. As the saying goes, "ask Zhang Zhao for internal affairs and Zhou Yu for foreign affairs." Zhou Yu naturally refused Cao Cao's request, quite simply, without giving any face. Since we want to do the opposite, we must be clear about the opposite. Instead, we must be more thorough and raise our own banner. Set an example to the world! Sun Quan followed Sun Ce¡¯s instructions before his death, so he naturally followed Zhou Yu¡¯s advice. But seriously. With Zhou Yu's absolute military power, Sun Quan probably wouldn't listen. Think about it, later on when the three parties came together and Liu Bei rose, Sun Quan ostensibly bowed to Cao Cao and dealt with Liu Bei wholeheartedly. Although it cannot be said that this policy is wrong at all, it is no longer as heroic as it was when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were there. Originally, at this time, my lips were dead and my teeth were cold. The Sun family in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou should put aside their old grudges and work together to fight Cao Cao. With the combination of the two parties, Cao Cao wanted to defeat the "Sun Liu" coalition. Especially with the geographical advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, even if Cao Cao were to win, it would never be easier than when he defeated Yuan Shao before. It¡¯s a pity that the ancients valued filial piety. The sworn hatred for killing one's father is not something that can be negotiated just by relying on the general situation. Many times, even if you know that you will eventually perish, you still have to kill your enemy first! so. It is absolutely impossible for Sun Quan and Liu Biao to unite. Not only could they not unite, they even used troops against Liu Biao at the same time as Cao Cao. Sun Quan also wanted to take the initiative and add insult to injury. Avenge your father and occupy Jingzhou territory! It¡¯s not that Sun Quan is stupid. It's not that Sun Quan is short-sighted and couldn't see that after Cao Cao destroyed Liu Biao, he would be next. If Sun Quan, like those losers back then, had the idea of ??sitting back and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, waiting for Liu Biao and Cao Cao to fight to the death, then he would definitely be sitting back and waiting for death. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to seize Liu Biao's place, and then set the entire Yangtze River as his own defense line. This is a better way to resist Cao Cao. Therefore, in the eyes of Cao Cao, the situation where Sun Quan and Liu Biao were fighting each other was a great thing. So what if Sun Quan, a little brat, resists? Cao Cao seems to have seen the scene where he will dominate the world in the near future! I don¡¯t know whether Sun Quan noticed that his behavior of adding insult to injury made Liu Biao suffer from enemies on both sides. Not only did he not force Jingzhou to jump over the wall in a hurry, but forced him to risk his life and fight, it actually made the internal calls for surrender to Cao Cao in Jingzhou become louder and louder. There is no way, local nobles like them are not the same as anyone else. As long as the terms can be negotiated with Cao Cao, then there is nothing difficult to say. Liu Biao? But he is just an outsider. In this context, Cao Cao once again sent a large army to attack Jingzhou. The first person to bear the brunt must still be Liu Bei in the buffer zone. Cao Ren was defeated miserably last time, so he will definitely not send Cao Ren over this time, and this time the commander-in-chief is Xiahou Dun, or a member of the Cao family. Also accompanying him were General Yu Jin and Li Dian. The first battle, Bowang Slope! Boswang is attacking with fire, instructs Ruyi's joke. Zhixu shocked Mr. Cao's courage, his first achievement as a fledgling! "Burn Bowang Slope, Xiahou is also embarrassed this time." In Wollongong, Guo Jia played chess with Guo Huan. "My uncle is still very powerful. He can strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away." Guo Huan praised happily. "What have I done?" Guo Jia asked. But Guo Huan replied without thinking, "How could those people do it without the guidance of uncle!" Needless to say,Jia Jia immediately turned pale and shouted, "Have you forgotten my usual teachings?" Guo Huan quickly put away her expression, lowered her head and said, "Huan'er has lost her composure." "My lord, although Xiahou Dun is defeated now, Cao Cao will definitely take the next step. I will personally bring troops here, I guess Xinye can't hold it anymore," Sima Yi said from the side, looking a little worried, after all, Ming'er is with Liu Bei now. "This is natural. But don't worry, what to do next, there is also a sense of proportion, no one will be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg." Guo Jia said, "Zhongda, I will write a letter later, and you will send someone to I'll send it out." "To whom?" Sima Yi asked. "Cai Mao." Guo Jia replied. Sima Yi and Guo Huan were both shocked. Did Guo Jia not only give advice to Ming'er, but also to Cai Mao? ! Isn't this obviously collaborating with the enemy? ! I had given instructions to Ming'er before, at my own home, and it had been so long in advance that no one else knew about it. But now that the letter is sent out, and it is sent to Jingzhou, will it be discovered by Cao Cao? ! Are you taking the initiative to give evidence to Cao Cao? Or use this letter to deceive Cao Cao and mislead Cao Cao into taking wrong actions? But even if he successfully misled Cao Cao, wouldn't Guo Jia have put himself in absolute danger? This is not something Guo Jia can do. "Don't worry, it's just a simple letter to persuade you to surrender. But if you do this, you may be sorry for Cai Mao." Guo Jia briefly explained. The two people next to them narrowed their eyes at the same time, looking at the fate of the group of people who had close ties with Guo Jia. Guo Jia's current move was tantamount to directly tying Cai Mao to his own camp. It is conceivable that if Cai Mao and others really surrendered to Cao Cao, they would definitely be suspected by Cao Cao because of Guo Jia. So, will Cao Cao still dare to reuse Cai Mao? In fact, Cao Cao would probably look for opportunities and excuses to reduce Cai Mao's power, or even kill him directly. What? If Guo Jia suddenly did such a thing, wouldn't it be an obvious attempt to frame Cai Mao? Is he, Cao Cao, so easily fooled? wrong! Don¡¯t forget, Guo Jia just likes to do the opposite. Hasn¡¯t Guo Jia always loved to trick such ¡°fools¡± who think they are smart? (To be continued)
