Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 301 The Death of Qiao Guolao

Sun Quan's move against Qiao Guolao was naturally not a sudden attack.

The day before yesterday, he received three pieces of news.

First, there was the great defeat at Jiujiang, when Cao Cao's army marched down and forced Lu Xun back to Hefei.

Second, after Zhuge Liang entered Xiangfan, he did not move his troops, obviously wanting to see a life-and-death battle between himself and Cao Cao.

These two pieces of information were given by Lu Xun. They are absolutely true and there cannot be any mistake.

Sun Quan's originally good mood immediately disappeared. There was no trace of joy at all, and he was only feeling depressed.

Fortunately, the third piece of news made Sun Quan feel a little better.

just
The third piece of news came from Cao Cao.

"Liu Bei is sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers. He has a vicious mind. If we fight to the death, it will only benefit Liu Bei."

"I wish to send Hefei to the Marquis of Wu, and marry my daughter to Jiangdong, so that we can form a Qin-Jin alliance!"

Cao Cao's letter was short in words, and Sun Quan felt disdainful at first.

Hefei had already been conquered by himself, but Cao Cao said it was a gift to him. That's really flattering!
As for marrying a daughter here, doesn't that mean I am asked to be a son-in-law?

When he met Cao Cao in the future, he would be even more inferior to him!
However, this disdain completely disappeared after hearing the news that Jiujiang was lost.

Instead, I started to think about it seriously.

Especially Cao Cao's last sentence
"Jiangdong and Cao Wei both regard Xing Daorong as a serious threat. Now they want to get rid of him but don't know how to do it. So they think of a plan and present it to the Marquis of Wu, and he may be able to use it."

Sun Quan knew very well that Cao Cao was handing him a knife!
Of course. This guy Xing Daorong!
He first killed the governor of Jiangdong, then took away his own personal general, and even had an affair with the Jiangdong family!
Even though he knew that it was Cao Cao who handed him the knife, Sun Quan still wanted to take it!
in this way
This is why Sun Quan came to cause trouble for the Qiao Mansion right after Sun Shao entered the Mansion.

At this moment, Qiao Guolao was glaring at Sun Quan.

The killing glare from Qiao Guolao was not a big deal to Sun Quan. At this moment, even though Qiao Guolao's eyes were wide open, Sun Quan just smiled and said, "Qiao Lao, judging from your expression, are you cursing me to death in your heart?"

When Qiao Guolao heard this, he just sneered but said nothing.

Sun Quan said, "Old Qiao, I won't embarrass you. Just write a letter to your eldest daughter about your predicament today, and I will not embarrass you in the slightest."

Although Qiao Guolao is not very smart, he has lived for so many years that he knows what Sun Quan is thinking.

Why did he tell Da Qiao?
Isn't it just to make Da Qiao worry and let Xing Daorong come here to die!

But I had finally sent Da Qiao away, so how could I bring her back?
He laughed loudly: "Lord Wu, don't worry, even if I suffer a lot here, I will not tell my daughter a word!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his face suddenly changed.

He looked up and down at Qiao Guolao and said, "Qiao Lao, do you really want to make things difficult for me?"

Qiao Guolao laughed: "Your father and brother are so talented. Even if they were in power, how could they embarrass an old man like me? Even if it's your generation, you are stubborn and go against the advice of the majority. I believe in the will of the people. There is no plan to attack or repeat it!"

In his life, Sun Quan hated being compared with his father and brothers the most.

It seems that no matter what I do, I am not as good as my father and brother.

After hearing this, Sun Quan, who was originally able to put on a smile, immediately stopped smiling.

With an unpleasant expression, he said, "Okay! Since Old Qiao said that I am not as good as him, then I will just speak out!"

"Today, Mr. Qiao, you have to write it even if you want to. Even if you don't want to write it, you have to write it!"

When Qiao Guolao saw that Sun Quan was going to use force, he kept silent and stopped talking. He was in a bad mood, as if he would not respond to anything you said!

However, since Sun Quan had done so much, how could he be persuaded to retreat by Qiao Guolao's attitude?
He immediately ordered someone to take Mr. Qiao away, as if he was going to be placed under house arrest.

But Qiao Guolao was controlled by Sun Quan and taken into a house, which was really a small dark room!
The room was in the farthest corner of the corridor. Not only could no sunlight get in, but there wasn't even a window.

This kind of house puts a lot of psychological pressure on people, most people can't bear it, let alone Qiao Guolao who is already old!

Staying in this room, I don’t know what time it is, it’s dark.

There was only a table and a bed in the room.

The bed was hard, just two simple wooden boards without even a blanket on it.

When Qiao Guolao wanted to fall asleep, he could only sleep with his clothes on, and he couldn't sleep well.

There were paper, ink, brush and inkstone laid out on the table. The meaning was obvious: as long as Qiao Guolao finished writing the letter, he could leave this damn place.

However, Qiao Guolao just knocked on the room's surroundings, then went to the wooden bed and sat there without moving.

Even if someone came to deliver the food at the appointed time, he would not move at all and would not touch a drop of water!

It's obvious that they are planning to go on a hunger strike in protest!
This situation scared the food delivery guy so much that he hurried to report to Sun Quan.

"Lord Wu, that old man Qiao doesn't eat or drink. He won't eat a single bit of the food that was sent to him!"

"Should we let him go first? Otherwise, something bad might happen!"

"If I died in that room, I'm afraid it would be hard to explain to the outside world."

When Sun Quan heard what the visitor said, his face turned ashen!

He didn't expect that even at his old age, Qiao Guolao could still be so strong!

He actually started a hunger strike!
If it was as the visitor said, if this State Master Qiao really starved to death in his mansion, who knows how many attacks there would be on Sun Quan!

just
Sun Quan didn't believe that Qiao Guolao could really starve himself to death.

He immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't believe that Old Qiao would starve himself to death. Let's ignore him and see how long he can last!"

When the visitor heard this, he had no choice but to leave.

However, many things don't go according to your plan.

Some things will get out of control even right before your eyes!

After two days, seeing that Qiao Guolao was still holding on, Sun Quan finally became a little panicked.

Seeing that the old man was determined to fight to the end, Sun Quan ordered his men to release Qiao Guolao and prepared to find other ways to force him.

But as soon as I entered the house, I felt a dead silence.

The waiter called out twice but got no response, so he mustered up the courage to go to the bedside.

At just one glance, he saw that Mr. Qiao's face was pale and he was lying straight on the bed without any sound.

I tried to smell the scent but didn't sense any breath!

died
He really starved to death in Marquis Wu’s mansion!

The visitor was horrified, but knowing the seriousness of the matter, he rushed to report it!
just
By the time they discover it, it will be too late!
