The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 440 Who was fooled
Zhou Yu nodded, feeling a pang of regret in his heart. If possible, he would also choose the imperial court. Unfortunately, he was not Sun Quan and could only obey Sun Quan's decision.

He believed that even if Sun Quan learned of this news, he would probably not surrender to the Cavalry Army.

The Cavalry Army did not set up any defenses against Zhou Yu, and he was also allowed to visit the navy camp. In the camp, he saw countless craftsmen making iron chains to tie the warships together. Walking on them was indeed like walking on flat ground.

In the rear camp, he saw a large amount of food and fodder, some cold-proof clothing, and even a large number of doctors carrying a large amount of herbs, which surprised him secretly.

The Cavalry Army was so well prepared that he had a bad feeling. With such people as enemies, could Cao Cao and his men defeat them and keep Jiangdong?

Zhou Yu even wanted to go back and persuade Sun Quan, but in the end, he just let out a long sigh.

Sun Quan is now on the back of a tiger and it is difficult to get off.

Qin Shou met Zhou Yu in the central army tent and hosted a banquet for him. Even Zhou Yu himself was very moved.

"Zhou Yu meets the king."

Zhou Yu fell to the ground.

"Sit down, Gongjin." Qin Shou pointed to the table and sighed, "Someone told me that you and Sun Quan were captured alive by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao used Sun Quan's life to force you to work for him. Is that true?"

Zhou Yu moved his feet and soon returned to normal, kneeling down on the soft mat.

"Zhongmou wanted to visit the Wu Hou Mansion, but he was discovered by Xu Chu and was captured alive." Zhou Yu said bitterly.

Qin Shou had no expression on his face, and finally he sighed and said, "In fact, among all the heroes in the world, the one I admire most is you, Gongjin, a scholar-general in white, with a feather fan and a scarf, and a handsome Zhou Lang. What a pity."

Although it was only a brief moment, Qin Shou still saw what Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were thinking. Maybe Zhou Yu didn't have this idea, but Sun Quan definitely had this idea.

I don’t know what Zhou Yu was thinking. Is a person who has been dead for a long time worthy of Zhou Yu’s loyalty?

"According to the information I received, Sun Ce's death may have been related to Cao Cao." Qin Shou sighed, "You and Sun Zhongmou are now friends with your enemy."

Zhou Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and anger appeared in his eyes, which did not seem fake.

"Does your Majesty have any evidence?"

Zhou Yu asked impatiently.

"Is this important? Just tell Sun Zhongmou about this when you go back." Qin Shou said indifferently.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately understood the reason.

Whether there is evidence or not is actually just a reason, an excuse. If he believes in himself, then Sun Ce's death is related to Cao Cao. If he does not believe in himself, even if the evidence is in front of him, Sun Quan will not believe the truth of the matter.

Sometimes the truth doesn't matter.

In fact, Zhou Yu understood that Qin Shou would not deceive him. Sun Ce's death was most likely caused by Cao Cao. At that time, both sides would use any means to fight for Jiangdong.

"Tell Sun Quan that if he can come back, he can still be rich and powerful, for your sake, Zhou Gongjin." There was no warmth in Qin Shou's eyes.

Because he knew that both Zhou Yu and Sun Quan had made their own choices.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu hurriedly thanked him, but he sighed in his heart. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last time he and Qin Shou would drink together. Half an hour later, Qin Shou personally sent Zhou Yu out.

"After today's separation, I don't know if we will ever meet again. You chose your brotherhood, and I have nothing to say. I can only defeat you in the war." Qin Shou said regretfully.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. When I return, I will persuade Zhongmou. If he is willing to submit to Your Majesty, I will definitely find a way to submit to Your Majesty and help Your Majesty defeat the coalition forces."

Qin Shou was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurried forward to help Zhou Yu up, saying: "If I can get Gongjin's help, I will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the shortest possible time and unify the world."

"Your Majesty, just wait for news from Yu."

Zhou Yu turned around and left, got on the boat and left Qin Shou's sight.

As Qin Shou watched Zhou Yu leave, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became extremely cold. Jia Xu behind him also sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, if we can get help from Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, we will be able to defeat the coalition forces in a short period of time." Zhang Song showed joy on his face.

"I'm afraid that Zhou Yu is deceiving the king. He does this on purpose so that he can use the strategy of feigning surrender conveniently." Sima Yi snorted coldly.

Zhang Song's face suddenly tightened when he heard this. He couldn't help but glance at Qin Shou. Sure enough, he saw that Qin Shou's face was cold and there was murderous intent in his eyes. It was obvious that he had concluded that Zhou Yu was deceiving him.

"Damn it, this thief is damnable." Zhang Song suddenly roared loudly.

Sima Yi glanced at Zhang Song and felt a trace of disdain in his heart.

Zhou Yu was deceiving Qin Shou, and Qin Shou was also deceiving Zhou Yu. Gan Ning, Cai Mao, etc., all these arrangements showed that Qin Shou did not trust Zhou Yu at all, and all this was calculated.

As a superior, how could he trust someone so easily? Moreover, this person was an enemy. No matter how wonderful the other party's words were, it was impossible for him to gain Qin Shou's trust.

If things go wrong, Zhou Yu will feel guilty at this time!

On the warship, Zhou Yu was wearing a cloak, facing the biting river wind, with a thousand thoughts in his mind. It would be difficult for any minister to refuse Qin Shou's kindness. As the King of Tang, he had recruited him several times and personally sent him to the warship. What a favor it was.

What’s hateful is that when I was leaving, I was still plotting against the other party. How shameless!

Zhou Yu wanted to slap himself a few times. He was so shameless that he actually used such means to plot against someone who trusted him so much. How could he be a famous scholar?

"Gongjin."

A clear voice came from behind, and a scholar came out of the cabin. It was Kan Ze who was accompanying him.

"Feeling guilty?"

Kan Ze seemed to understand what Zhou Yu was thinking, and sighed: "Yes! If someone treats me so well, I will also work for him."

Zhou Yu nodded and sighed, "What a pity. Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu, and he is not the kind of person who betrays others. The King of Tang is touching, but he can't shake our decision, right?"

Kan Ze did not say anything. In fact, the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable. If Qin Shou unified the world, he would definitely suppress the aristocratic families. This was something that the Jiangzuo aristocratic families would not allow to see, so this alliance was formed.

Neither Zhou Yu nor Kan Ze can change this fact.

No matter how grateful I am in my heart, it's useless.
