Behind Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and other Dongwu's most capable generals all followed him to the palace to participate in this conference. Xiao Qiao also followed her husband to the palace to attend the meeting as an important general.
Even the beauties in the harem attended. Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang, one on the left and one on the right, supported Wu Guotai, walked into the show curtain behind the throne, and lowered the curtain to listen.
After the civil and military officials sat down on both sides, Sun Quan finally spoke.
"Everyone!" The young Lord Wu said calmly: "Cao Cao's troops are pressing down on the country. The country is in danger of survival. Where to go? Today I am listening to the audience's discussion."
As previously speculated, the civil service system still insisted on the strategy of surrendering and welcoming Cao Cao, while Lu Su and the generals argued hard to persuade Sun Quan to send troops.
Zhou Yu, who was sitting at the head of the generals, said nothing, just watched with cold eyes, picking up his wine glass from time to time and drinking lightly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Du Yu noticed that there were indeed capable people among the adventurers of the Wu Kingdom. In the past two acts, some people actually achieved the position of captain and were qualified to stand behind the generals!
A school captain needs 10,000 martial arts points.
This discovery surprised Du Yu. This means that in addition to the tasks from the first act to the present, these adventurers have also completed many hidden tasks in order to collect so many martial arts points in exchange for their status in Soochow.
Sun Quan, "Gong Jin's Grand Governor", had long been tired of the noise and quickly turned to Zhou Yu: "My brother had a message before his death. If you have any questions about foreign affairs, please ask Zhou Yu. The relationship with Cao Cao is war or peace. Gong Jin can decide it with just one word." !¡±
The eyes of the entire audience fell on Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu slowly stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "War brings danger, but surrender brings peace. In my opinion, it is better to temporarily surrender to Cao Cao in name only, expel Liu Bei's envoys, and sever relations with Liu Bei. Cao Cao wants to clean up. Liu Bei will also need a year to defeat the forces of Ma Teng in Xiliang, Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou. We can wait and see their success or failure before taking action."
These words are really beyond everyone¡¯s expectation!
Lu Su stood up in shock. When he went out of the city to visit Zhou Yu last night, Zhou Yu also told him privately that he would persuade the Lord of Wu to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao. Why did this elegant and prestigious Grand Governor change his mind overnight?
Zhuge Liang's expression remained as usual, Zhao Yun clenched his fists, and Du Yu was amazed.
The plot is not like this.
Look at Zhou Yu¡¯s attitude. Is it retreat to advance?
It doesn¡¯t look like it.
" Such a national event must be decided at such an important meeting. How can Zhou Yu be allowed to play tricks?
Obviously, Zhou Yu¡¯s statement also surprised Sun Quan. He didn¡¯t know how to respond and was stunned until Trainer Bu reminded him. Only then did he calm down: "What Gong Jin said is reasonable. But Cao Cao is ambitious. If he misses this opportunity, wait until he has his hands free. I, Soochow, can't do anything alone. I'm afraid there will be unforeseen disasters."
This situation shows that Sun Quan, as the ruler, is very clear about Cao Cao's ambitions and knows that he will never let Jiangdong go, let alone let Jiangdong grow bigger. Give Soochow ten years of development time.
Zhou Yu laughed and said: "Master Wu, I received a personal letter from Cao Cao! Please read it!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Zhuge Liang¡¯s complexion changed immediately!
Du Yu¡¯s expression also changed.
Cao Cao¡¯s personal letter?
This has never happened in history.
Is it this letter? Is this the reason why Zhou Yu changed his original mind?
Sun Quan took the letter and stared at it for a long time. He actually sighed softly: "Please read it."
The civil and military officials looked at the letter written by Cao Cao with trembling hands.
Zhang Zhao and others looked proud, as if they had predicted the existence of this letter.
After Lu Su got the letter, he glanced at Zhuge Liang and recited it.
"According to the emperor's decree, Gu will lead 830,000 water and army troops. He is willing to join forces with the general Wu to discuss the plan to conquer the rebel Liu Bei and pacify the world. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Gu is determined to sweep the southeast. This is a lie. Gu Gu I would like to swear here that I will never set foot in Soochow as long as I live, and I will never covet the beauties of Soochow. Anyone who violates this oath will be punished by heaven and man!"
Zhang Zhao looked proud and stood up and said: "Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. I have a letter as proof here and openly swore an oath that I will never invade Soochow. Such an oath is enough to let me, Soochow, sit back and relax. Why should my lord listen to what outsiders say? , risking the lives of millions of people in the nine counties and eighty-one prefectures of Soochow for Liu Bei's life and death?"
Sun Quan was silent for a long time.
This belongs to Cao CaoThe letter really surprised him.
With Cao Cao's status, it is really unbelievable that he does not keep his word.
Zhou Yu said loudly: "When I was in Poyang Lake, I heard that Cao's army was committing an attack in the south. I was full of enthusiasm and was ready to persuade the general to fight to the death with Cao's thieves. But after receiving this letter last night, after thinking about it, I still couldn't find a reason to fight to the death with Cao's thieves! The war is fierce, the country is in great danger, the place of life and death, the way of survival must be cautious, Mr. Kong Ming.
He turned to Zhuge Liang, who was shaking his fan and smiling, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, compared with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, you don't know how to treat this matter?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing: "Liang has nothing to say. After today's meeting, he immediately took Zilong and Du Yu back to Xiakou, and then persuaded my lord to go up the river to join Liu Zhang and Liu Yizhou. Although Cao's army was large, they might not be able to do anything. Damn it, my lord! The world is so big that there is no place for heroes!"
"It's just" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said calmly: "The traitor Cao is capricious and a dishonest villain! Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu both listened to his words and surrendered. What was the result? Cao Cao tried to say, Ning Teach me to betray the people of the world, but don¡¯t teach the people of the world to betray me. How can a mere piece of paper stop Cao Cao from sweeping away the world? I only lament that Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, Zhou Gongjin, and Zhang Zibu, such heroes and talents, were only defeated by a mere piece of paper. It¡¯s so sad that a piece of paper deceives the country and leads to death!¡±
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, as if he had expected Zhuge Liang to say this, and said in a deep voice: "But what's the benefit of joining forces with Liu Bei in Soochow?"
Du Yu heard what Zhou Yu meant.
This Zhou Gongjin is worthy of being the pillar of Soochow. Even if you intend to join forces with Liu Bei, you must first negotiate the conditions clearly and firmly grasp the initiative. Cao Cao's letter was just a card he used to raise the price.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "There is not much benefit. My lord is a poor relative who came to seek refuge. He has no soldiers and horses, no money and food, and no territory. He can't give Soochow any benefit."
Du Yu smiled secretly in his heart.
This Zhuge Liang is also an old and cunning man. He did not blindly promote the benefits of the alliance. Instead, he honestly stated the truth. This would win the consideration of the monarchs and ministers of Soochow.
Cao Cao is full of beauty, sweet in words and sword in heart, Liu Bei is a man of three infinites, open and honest, it is obvious at a glance who is more reliable.
Zhang Zhao saw something was wrong and jumped out and said: "Cao Cao's letter has fully demonstrated that he has no intention of invading Jiangdong! The words of the Han Prime Minister are more trustworthy than Liu Bei, who was beaten and running around!"
Zhou Yu returned to his seat and sneered silently. It seemed that Zhuge Liang was unwilling to give better conditions, so he would never speak again.
This is a mercenary negotiator, sophisticated and ruthless. He will never be like Lu Su, who gets excited when he sees a rough idea and agrees to cooperate.
Du Yu had no doubt that if Zhuge Liang did not agree to the condition of occupying Jingzhou's land after the war, Zhou Yu would definitely remain calm and not express his position.
But the civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao were already making a big fuss out of Cao Cao's letter.
"My lord, you must not listen to outsiders and ruin Jiangdong's foundation."
Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Liang with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Zhuge, if you can't provide evidence to prove that what Cao Cao said in this letter is true, no matter how much I want to ally with Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao, I can't go against the consensus."
Zhuge Liang also looked embarrassed for a moment.
Du Yu was convinced that this letter was written by Cao Cao to deceive the monarchs and ministers of Soochow, following the strategies of A Ming and other adventurers.
With Cao Cao's ruthlessness, he would do anything to unify the world. What can a mere letter say? After interfering with the Sun-Liu alliance, even if they went to war brazenly, Soochow presented this letter, and Cao Cao refused to acknowledge it, saying that I did not write it, and Soochow was destroyed. How could he go to court and sue Cao Cao for forging documents and saying so? And no faith?
People who are shameless are invincible.
A Ming and other adventurers obviously understood the power of the Sun-Liu alliance. Under their advice, Cao Cao also paid attention to it and did not follow the development of the historical plot. He wrote "I am willing to join the general to hunt with Wu". This kind of provocative and idiotic article is actually a sworn promise.
But this letter had extraordinary power for Soochow, which was unwilling to go to war. Looking at Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Wang Lang and other civil servants jumping up and down, with the momentum of hitting their heads on pillars, we know how much pressure Sun Quan is under.
But the question is, who can prove that Cao Cao¡¯s letter has no sincerity at all?
Therefore, Zhuge Liang was also stumped.
Seeing Liu Bei's envoys not saying a word, Zhang Zhao became even more proud, stroking his beard and smiling: "My lord, you know that Liu Bei is basically afraid of Cao Cao and took us to accompany him. I suggest that these people be tied up and presented to Cao Cao. We will definitely convince Cao Cao to stop and keep Jiangdong safe."
weekYu remained silent and watched with cold eyes, waiting for Zhuge Liang to sign an alliance under the city and make substantial concessions to the conditions.
Faced with this desperate situation, Zhuge Liang looked calm on the surface, but couldn't help but become anxious in his heart.
Why is there such twists and turns in this mission?
This letter from Thief Cao is really insidious and cunning, and it is the most likely to disintegrate the alliance between Sun and Liu.
If he promised Zhou Yu that he would give up Jingzhou after the war, he would only be working for Zhou Yu in vain. In the end, Liu Bei would still be unable to lose his territory, and it would be Liu Bei's interests that would be harmed.
While he was in a hurry, Kong Ming saw Du Yu with a leisurely look on his face.
Rather than being in a hurry, this boy was flirting with Sun Shangxiang, who was already very affectionate, across the seats.
Kong Ming suddenly lost his temper and coughed lightly:
"This is a treacherous plot by Cao Cao's thieves. The general must not fall for it. In our camp, there is General Du Yu, who has met Cao Cao face to face and knows the details best. Du Yu, could you please explain to everyone why this letter is fake? "(To be continued)
