Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 645 Zhou Yu's Plan to Divide the World into Three Parts
After the meeting, Zhang Sui personally wrote a letter to Wen Chou, telling him the strategy that Ju Su and everyone else had discussed.

In the letter, Zhang Sui repeatedly emphasized to Wen Chou not to be provoked or instigated by anyone.

In this last year, Hebei had only one goal: to fortify its defenses and continue recuperation.

Thinking of the historical Ma Chao, Zhang Sui also warned Wen Chou in the letter not to fight with Ma Chao.

After this year, the army officially moved south.

At that time, Zhang Sui will give Wen Chou the opportunity to achieve success and fight against Ma Chao.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Sui also wrote a letter to Chen Jiao, the military advisor of the Second Corps, asking him to pay attention to some Wen Chou.

After explaining all this, Zhang Sui had the letter delivered urgently.

The news that Sun Quan's army of 100,000 was defeated by Zhang Liao in Guangling quickly spread throughout the entire Han territory.

Sima Yi went too far.

He even deliberately made up a nursery rhyme and had it spread: "Eight hundred personal soldiers marched across the river, and a hundred thousand Wu soldiers returned in fear! The tiger roared in Guangling and shook thousands of miles away, and Sun's Erlang was still startled in his dreams! My brother was famous when he was alive, but who knew that Erlang was just a piece of rubbish? If I had a son, I would hope he would be like Sun Zhongmou, who killed a million soldiers in one night."

This nursery rhyme spread all the way from Yecheng, Hebei to Jiangdong.

When Sun Quan heard the news, he was meeting Zhou Yu at the Sun family residence.

After Zhou Yu led 20,000 soldiers from Chaisang County to capture Xiakou Port, he then led his troops to capture Xiling City.

Afterwards, he left Pang Tong and his soldiers to guard Xiling City and did not attack again.

He got information about Jingzhou.

This time, he hurried back to Qu'a, Wujun alone, firstly to confirm the authenticity of the news of the defeat of the 100,000 navy.

He really couldn't understand it.

How could Sun Quan, with his 100,000 naval forces, be blocked by Zhang Liao's 800 personal soldiers in Guangling, and even eventually the 100,000 naval forces were defeated by the enemy's 6,000 troops, with more than 15,000 people killed in the battle?
Secondly, he wanted to discuss with Sun Quan the plan of temporarily stopping the fighting in Hebei.

What he never expected was that the news that Sun Quan's 100,000 naval forces were defeated was true!

At this moment, in the front yard of the Sun family.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu stared at each other.

Although Mrs. Wu was very sad about the assassination of her third son Sun Yi, she still cheered herself up and rushed over.

She is now very afraid of a conflict between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.

Seeing that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu both looked unhappy, Zhou Yu's breathing became even more rapid, and veins on his forehead were throbbing. Madam Wu hurriedly smiled and said, "Gongjin, victory and defeat are common in the military."

"Zhongmou is too young and has little experience in warfare."

"As long as he has the support of you and Mr. Zhang, he will grow up quickly."

Zhou Yu sneered and said, "A hundred thousand navy troops can be stopped by eight hundred personal soldiers. Aunt, tell me, how can you grow up?"

"The ancients' armchair military strategy is just like this!"

Sun Quan immediately became furious and was about to fight back.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly grabbed his hand and begged, "Zhongmou, please stop arguing, okay?"

"With the current situation in Jiangdong, you and Gongjin should put aside your grudges and work together to ensure that Bofu does not rest in peace."

As he spoke, he took Sun Quan's hand and Zhou Yu's hand and held them together.

Madam Wu looked at Zhou Yu, tears in her eyes, and said, "Gongjin, you are Bofu's brother. Bofu always treated you as his own brother, closer than Zhongmou."

"Zhongmou is young and full of energy, and has little experience. Please bear with him."

Zhou Yu looked at Madam Wu and frowned slightly.

He felt indescribable grief and anger in his heart.

Do you really think I, Zhou Yu, am a fool?

If Bofu really treated me as a brother, he would not have let me and the Zhou family go to Chaisang County!
however--

Zhou Yu took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart.

If you want to get angry, you have to wait until the situation in Jiangdong stabilizes.

At this point, conflict is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu said to Madam Wu: "Don't worry, aunt. After all, I am the minister and Zhongmou is the lord."

"Heaven and earth will not tolerate the act of disobeying superiors." "I am a little tired today, I will go back and rest first."

"I'll come and bother you again tomorrow."

Glancing at Sun Quan, Zhou Yu bowed and said, "My Lord, I have something else to report. Come back tomorrow and we will reflect on this."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Sun Quan watched Zhou Yu leave without moving.

It was not until he heard the sound of Zhou Yu riding away on his warhorse outside that Sun Quan drew the sword from his waist, cut off one leg of the four-cornered octagonal table in the courtyard, and screamed, "You are bullying me too much!"

"Does he still have me as his lord in his eyes?"

"He doesn't have any!"

"He always looked down on me!"

"He never looked down upon me!"

"He never looked down on me before, but now that I've lost the battle, he wants to kill me!"

Mrs. Wu was so frightened when she saw Sun Quan's crazy appearance that tears rolled down her cheeks.

It was not until Sun Quan threw his sword to the ground, covered his face with his hands, and sat down beside the four-cornered octagonal table without saying a word that Madam Wu walked over tentatively, hugged Sun Quan's head, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhongmou, it is not easy to sit as the lord of Jiangdong."

"Your father is dead."

"Your brother is dead."

"Your third brother was also assassinated because of this."

"I don't want to see you get into trouble again."

"We can't do it anymore, can we just not do it?"

"When we return to our hometown in Fuchun, we will have enough food and clothing, and we will have wives and concubines and children to take care of us."

Sun Quan buried his head in Madam Wu's arms.

After a long while, he raised his head and forced a smile, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing will happen to me."

"Sooner or later, I will make everyone surrender!"

"Zhou Yu too!"

"They all laugh at me for being useless, but I want to be the most successful one!"

"I'll make them crawl at my feet!"

Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Quan worriedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

In the end, she didn't say anything else.

The next day, Zhou Yu came again as expected.

Mrs. Wu got up early in the morning and sat in the distance, watching Zhou Yu and Sun Quan discuss things.

She never took her eyes off the two of them.

The negotiations went relatively smoothly.

Zhou Yu only proposed two things: First, send someone to contact the ruler of Hebei, now the general Zhang Sui, to form an alliance and temporarily stop the fighting.

Second, quietly transfer a large number of troops to Chaisang, and then find a way to avoid the sight of Zhao Yun, the governor of Yangzhou, and Zhuge Liang of Lujiang County, cross the river, and transfer to Xiakou.

Both strategies have only one purpose: to wait for a conflict between Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, and the five local powerful families, and then act accordingly.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, Lujiang County and Guangling County both belong to Hebei. Hebei is steady and has countless capable people. It is too difficult to conquer the entire Yangzhou and Xuzhou.

Comparatively speaking, Jingzhou is full of crises, but it also has fertile land and countless talented people.

If we can capture Jingzhou and occupy it, we can expand our army westwards and capture Yizhou in the future.

After taking control of Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Yizhou, and recuperating, Jiangdong finally had enough strength to contend with Cao Cao of Xudu and Zhang Sui of Hebei, dividing the world into three parts and eventually seizing that position.

Sun Quan did not refuse again.

Sun Quan found Mrs. Wu and wanted to send his own sister Sun Ren to Hebei for marriage.
