Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 202 The dying Zhou Gongjin

Pang De slowly analyzed the situation in front of him.

They occupied Yiling City, which looked majestic but was actually miserable.

The Xiliang army has no foundation here. Even if it is stationed in the city, it will not receive support, and if something happens, it will be too late to rush back to Xiliang.

And now they are right in front of Cao Jun. If Cao Cao wants to deal with Ma Chao and attack at all costs, Ma Chao will not be able to hold on for long.

Therefore, their situation is very delicate now.

"Oh, hateful Cao Cao, if you give me a few more years, I can recruit more Xiliang cavalry, and by then it will be easy to conquer the entire world!"

Ma Chao sighed and spread his hands. In the final analysis, it was because Xiliang had been resisting the foreigners all year round and did not have many elite soldiers under his command.

Ma Dai thought for a long time before continuing to propose: "General, I think we must accept this imperial edict and pretend to obey Cao Cao."

"In this way, at least Cao Cao will not deal with us for the time being, which will give us time."

"And if we go to attack Zhang Lu, maybe the situation will not be as bad as we think."

"Oh?" Ma Chao was a little confused, "How do you say this?"

Ma Dai smiled and continued: "Zhang Lu has never had any ambitions, and he doesn't want the people to fall into the flames of war, so he doesn't want to start a war."

"This time we go on a crusade. If we can make Zhang Lu believe in us, we may not only suffer no losses, but we may also take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. As soon as he heard that there was an opportunity to strengthen his strength, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, if we can increase our strength, even Cao Cao won't have to worry about it in the future!"

Ma Dai nodded and said: "Yes, this way we won't leave any loopholes or excuses, and Cao Cao will not care about us for the time being. If we wait until we grow stronger, Cao Cao won't be able to care about us even if he wants to!"

"Haha, you are still thinking carefully."

Ma Chao laughed twice and immediately agreed to this method.

Jiangdong, above the court.

Since the last defeat in the Battle of Chibi, this is the first time that Sun Quan has summoned ministers to discuss matters, and the clans have been waiting for a long time.

Sun Quan sat above him, his face a bit ugly.

But who can care about Sun Quan's mood now? Their family is about to be destroyed!

"My lord, the situation in Jiangdong is critical now. Although we have been recruiting troops, there are not many men left. Is it possible that we will have to let little children and women go to the battlefield in the future?"

Zhang Wen was the first to stand up and talk about Jiangdong's predicament in an exaggerated manner.

The army was almost destroyed in the Battle of Chibi, and they are still recruiting troops like crazy, which shows that their lord has gone crazy!

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Foreign enemies invade and if you want to defend your homeland, everyone must take up arms, even if they are children or women, so what?"

Xue Zong immediately stood up and retorted: "My lord, you are wrong. As the lord of Jiangdong, the first thing you have to care about is the people in Jiangdong. Without the people, where would Jiangdong be?"

"But now, the lord seems to be trying to fight everyone in Jiangdong for his own selfish interests. Is this fair to the people?"

Sun Quan suddenly sneered: "I guess you want to say that your clan should be the most important thing, right? Common people are just your cover-up and rhetoric."

Sun Quan was almost torn apart, and the clansmen became bolder because of Zhou Yu's absence.

"Lord, please don't insist on your own way, lest you ruin all Jiangdong's luck!"

"Yes, even if you surrender now, you still won't lose your status as a lord!"

Even the civil servant Zhang Zhao came out at this time and said slowly: "Lord, please surrender. Jiangdong can no longer withstand the next war."

Sun Quan looked at the clans below with cold eyes, filled with hatred.

"Haha, you are really loyal to Jiangdong when you persuade me to surrender. But today, another person came to the court."

After the words fell, a figure walked slowly outside the court. Who was it if it wasn't Zhou Yu?

At this moment, Zhou Yu's face was pale, but his eyes were still firm and powerful, and he was exuding killing intent. With a sword on his waist, he came directly in front of Sun Quan.

"I've met my lord!"

Sun Quan nodded. He specifically discussed this scene with Zhou Yu. Only Zhou Yu could suppress these clans.

"Grand Governor?"

Zhang Zhao and others were suddenly shocked. They did not expect Zhou Yu, who was seriously ill, to come, which caused a slight cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.

"Who said surrender?"

Zhou Yu turned around and looked at all the ministers, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

But some people still stood up.

"Grand Governor, you killed hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong's men in one battle. Do you also want to fight to kill the last Jiangdong's men? Surrender is the best way out!"

Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and the sword on his waist was pulled out of its sheath with a clatter.

"Shut up!"

"It is precisely because of people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death that Jiangdong has reached this point. If it surrenders, will you be worthy of the soldiers who died on the battlefield?"

"I see who dares to say surrender today. I, Zhou Yu, will be the first to kill him, just to be buried with Jiangdong's dead son!"

The murderous intention rushed straight to the front door, making all the clans tremble suddenly. They were completely frightened, and no one spoke anymore.

Because they knew that Zhou Yu at this moment really dared to kill someone in front of Sun Quan!

Seeing that the clans were suppressed, Sun Quan slowly spoke.

"Okay, don't mention surrender in the future. I, Jiangdong, can only die in battle, there are no traitors!"

"Yan Zhen, I order you to write a proclamation to punish the traitors and order all the princes in the world to attack Cao Cao!"

"Back then, Dong Zhuo brought cholera to the government, and Cao Cao dared to write a proclamation against thieves and summon the princes from all over the world. Now I, Jiangdong, can do the same!"

Yan Zhen dared not refuse at this moment, so he quickly agreed: "I obey my orders."

Sun Quan glanced at everyone again, and then said: "Order Jiangdong to prepare for war. Anyone who dares to surrender again will be killed! Anyone who dares to secretly liaise with Cao's thieves will have his family destroyed!"

After all these words, no one dared to refute him anymore.

Because whether it is Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, or Lu Su, they are serious at this moment. If they continue to resist, they will be asking for death!

……

After they dispersed, Zhou Yu was quickly sent back to his mansion.

Sun Quan came to Zhou Yu's mansion and came to visit.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhou Yu lying on the bed, with pale lips and dull eyes, completely different from his appearance in the court.

When he was in the court, Zhou Yu was holding on to his last breath to help Sun Quan, fearing that he had already returned to his glory.

Not only did the previous injuries not heal, but they became more serious. Even he himself could feel that he was not going to die soon.

"Gong Jin!"

Sun Quan stepped forward, his eyes filled with tears. For Zhou Yu, at this moment, he only felt grateful in his heart. He had supported him all the way until now, otherwise Jiangdong would have been carved up by the clan.

"My lord, don't cry. Now is the time when Jiangdong is in crisis. Don't ruin the country's affairs just because of me, Zhou Yu!"
