The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

With Zhang Song gone, Jingzhou still faces a problem.Cao Cao's army and horses have made new movements.Instead of dividing the army into three groups at the beginning, Cao Cao divided the army into two groups, one stationed in Hefei and the other in Pingchun, and recruited a large number of carpenters from all counties and counties to start making warship equipment in Pingchun.This posture seems to have let Jingzhou go to an annihilation battle against Sun Quan from the east and west.

"What to do? What to do?" Sun Quan scratched his head anxiously.At the beginning, he was still thankful that Cao Cao took Jingzhou as the main attack direction, but why did Cao Cao change his mind overnight and came to him.

Everyone in the hall dared not speak.Sun Quan glared at them fiercely: "You guys kept silent when the matter came to an end. Where did all your previous wisdom go?"

Zhang Zhao looked at the crowd, and cupped his hands to Sun Quan, saying, "Master, Cao Cao is very powerful! Jiangdong has few soldiers, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him! If he is allowed to attack, Jiangdong's life will be ruined, so it's better to make peace with him!"

"How to make peace?" Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao hurriedly turned his head to look at the crowd.Bulu said: "Cao Cao has millions of troops, and although Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the difference in strength is too great. Now Cao Cao is building a warship. When it goes down the river, the natural danger of the Yangtze River will disappear. Jiangdong cannot be preserved. It is better to invest in it." ..."

"Bastard!" Cheng Pu was furious, and stared at Bulu with wide eyes: "you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you win before you fight? I still have an army of [-] in Jiangdong, so why don't you fight Cao Cao to the death? I am worthy of the old lord's spirit in heaven!"

Yu Fan said: "Our army is only [-], and Cao Cao has millions of troops. How can we win? General Cheng, please tell me!"

Huang Gai immediately shouted: "There are not many soldiers. Our army is elite. Cao's army is exhausted after a long battle. Besides, there is a natural danger along the Yangtze River. Cao's army is all soldiers from the north. They are not good at sailing. They are absolutely sure of victory, and Zhou Gongjin has tens of thousands of soldiers." The navy stays in Chaisang, the Jiangdong navy is number one in the world, no one dares to underestimate it!"

"Water army?" Zhuge Jin shook his head: "Jiangdong navy is no longer number one in the world!"

All the ministers were divided into two, and the literati headed by Zhang Zhao were extremely pessimistic, and most of them thought it would be better to surrender.On the contrary, the generals headed by Cheng Pu were high-spirited and determined to fight Cao Jun to the death.Sun Quan was a little embarrassed.According to his personality, he will not admit defeat easily, but he also knows his own strength. It is hard to say whether he can win. If he loses, how should he face his dead father and family members.

The classroom was full of noise, but Sun Quan fell silent instead.Slowly got up and walked out through the side door.Lu Su hurriedly followed out.Looking at the few faint clouds in the sky, Sun Quan folded his hands, and his thoughts were full of thoughts. What would he do if his elder brother Sun Ce was alive?It must have been a loud shout, and led his soldiers and horses to fight Cao Cao to the death.But I don't have the arrogance of my big brother.At this time, I miss my elder brother a little bit.

Lu Su quietly appeared behind Sun Quan, and looked up at the sky with Sun Quan.A group of wild geese lined up neatly and flew from the northern sky to the south little by little.The long journey almost made them exhausted, but they didn't stop. Under the leadership of the head goose, they bravely flew towards the south.Because winter is coming, the cold will kill them in the north, and they are fighting desperately for this little living space.

"My lord, do you know why the geese fly south?" Lu Su asked suddenly.

Sun Quan didn't answer immediately, but waited for the geese to disappear into the sky, and then said calmly: "Zijing speaks directly if he has something to say, and I'm all ears!"

"The wild geese fly south to escape the cold in the north, and just for this chance of survival, they risk their lives to fly south!" Lu Su seemed to be telling a story to Sun Quan: "In the coming spring, they will fly to the north by this road again. The water and grass are abundant, it is a suitable place to live, to raise your own offspring, has the lord paid attention to that goose?"

Sun Quan didn't speak, but looked at Lu Su.Lu Su smiled slightly: "The head goose is the backbone of the whole flock. Maybe he is not strong, maybe he is not smart, but the whole flock will be united with him. Whether it is going north or south, as long as the head goose takes off, All members of the flock will follow closely."

Sun Quan took a deep breath: "What if a goose makes a mistake and leads everyone to the hunter's trap?"

Lu Su shook his head: "My lord has never really observed the wild geese. They don't stay the same during the flight, but constantly change their formation, let those who have the most experience lead the way for everyone, of course it may not be the leading goose!"

Sun Quan suddenly stood up straight.Lu Su nodded: "The former lord said to the lord before his death that he would ask Zhang Zhao if he was not sure about internal affairs, and Zhou Yu if he was not sure about foreign affairs. Although Zhou Gongjin and the lord are not of the same mind, he will never sit idly by and ignore Jiangdong. My lord, why don't you see what Zhou Yu has to say?"

Sun Quan and Lu Su did not go back, but went directly to the study. Sun Quan personally wrote a letter to Zhou Yu, hoping that Zhou Yu could talk about his views on the current situation.The letter had just been delivered, and the servant came to report it, and Zhou Yu begged to see him.Sun Quan was overjoyed, and immediately got up and went out to meet him.Zhou Yu was dressed in the dust, and he could tell at a glance that he came from Chaisang without stopping.

Sun Quan held Zhou Yu's hand, showing great enthusiasm. Since Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan have gradually become estranged and rarely communicated with each other.Zhou Yu naturally couldn't just ignore Cao Jun's soldiers pressing down on the situation this time, so he came back in a hurry.

Before his butt was seated, Zhou Yu asked, "Has my lord already thought of a strategy to deal with Cao Jun?"

Sun Quan sighed.Lu Su said: "Today's discussion, both civil and military have different reasons. My lord is not sure about paying attention. I just sent a letter to Gongjin to inquire. I didn't expect Brother Gongjin to come back. God bless me, Jiangdong!"

"Civil and military have different principles? What do they say?" Zhou Yu asked again.

Lu Su then told Zhou Yu roughly what had happened in the court hall. Although he didn't make his own comments, Zhou Yu still understood what Lu Su meant.Lu Su is a caring person. After coming to Jiangdong, he seldom showed his talents, because he knew that it was not the time yet, only such big things were the time to show, and there was no need to compete for the small things.

Zhou Yu nodded: "As my lord, what should we do in Jiangdong?"

Sun Quan sighed softly: "Jiangdong is the elder brother who fought hard together with Gong Jin. Unfortunately, the elder brother died early, so he entrusted this heavy burden to me. , I only hope that Jiangdong will be safe and sound, who would have expected such a bad luck, it is really difficult!"

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment: "Master, do you know why the ministers want to surrender to Cao Cao?"

"Why?"

"Cao Cao is powerful, and he is the biggest prince in the world! Commanding Hebei and the eight states of the Central Plains, it will be a matter of time before he can rule the world. It is not impossible to surrender to Cao Cao and become a prince and prime minister in the future!" Zhou Yu did not shy away from it at all: "Even if it is me , if you are willing to work for Cao Cao, you will be more than enough to be a general!..."

"Brother Zhong also advocates surrender?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Otherwise, my lord, if you surrender to Cao Cao, you will be a rich man. You can go in and out, have a car, eat and have fish, and do nothing for a lifetime! Cao Cao can only do it, and you will never let the lord rule the country! So all the ministers hope that the lord surrender!"

Sun Quan and Lu Su looked at each other, wondering what Zhou Yu wanted to say.Zhou Yu continued: "However, they forgot, they forgot about Long Fei in Jingzhou. Long Fei's generation of heroes will definitely not watch Cao Cao grow bigger. Now Cao Cao's intention to annex Jiangdong is clearly revealed. If Jiangdong is destroyed, the next One is him, Long Fei, as long as the lord sends someone to Jingzhou for help, I believe Long Fei will definitely help!"

"With Long Fei's help, we can defeat Cao Cao!" Lu Su patted his thigh.

Sun Quan also nodded: "But! Long Fei is a snobbish person. Let's go beg him. If he is more ruthless than Cao Cao, we might as well surrender to Cao Cao!"

"My lord, please rest assured!" Zhou Yu said, "Although Long Fei is powerful, he still knows the overall situation. This time when Cao Cao used troops, Long Fei has already sent someone to contact me. Jiang Gan, the envoy of Jingzhou, is outside the door. Why don't you call me in, my lord?" Ask first before talking?"

After Jiang Gan came in, he saluted Sun Quan and others.Sun Quan nodded and ordered to show Jiang Gan a seat.After taking his seat, Jiang Gan first took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Sun Quan with both hands: "This is a letter from my lord to General Sun, please read it!"

Sun Quan took the letter and opened it gently.The letter was written by Long Fei, and the letter specifically mentioned the alliance of princes in the world.Now that Sun Quan is in trouble, Long Fei, as the leader of the alliance, will definitely not sit idly by. If Sun Quan is going to fight against Cao, Long Fei will also send troops to help.Of course, if Sun Quan was going to vote for Cao, Long Fei would take the opportunity to do it.The letter also stated that Jingzhou had assembled an army in Jiangxia and was ready to send troops at any time. No matter how Sun Quan chose, Long Fei had countermeasures.At the end of the letter, Long Fei specifically reminded Sun Quan to see the situation clearly and not to make wrong choices.

After reading the letter, Sun Quan gently put it down.Jiang Gandao: "According to our intelligence, Cao Cao is stepping up the production of warships and equipment in Pingchun, which should be the main battlefield, and the soldiers in Hefei are unable to cross the Yangtze River at all. General Sun should focus on fighting Cao in Pingchun!"

"I wonder how many soldiers and horses General Long has prepared?" Sun Quan wanted to know what Long Fei was really like.

Jiang Gandao: "Jiangxia has General Zhang Liao's [-] army, General Gan Ning's [-] navy, my lord personally led [-] troops to reinforce, and sent another [-] troops from Guiyang, totaling [-] troops!"

"Eighty thousand!" Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu, "What do you think, brother Zhong?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Cao Cao's army has been fighting for a long time and is exhausted. Besides, the northerners are not good at water warfare. General Long has [-] sailors. I am training [-] sailors in Chaisang. There are [-] sailors in total. My lord can send another [-] sailors." Infantry, Zhou Yu is confident of defeating Cao Cao!"

Sun Quan bit his lip, still seemed a little unsure about paying attention.Lu Su persuaded: "My lord, Mr. Jiang said that if my lord is going to vote for Cao, Cao Cao's army will not be the only one attacking Jiangdong!"

Sun Quan was taken aback suddenly, and turned to look at Jiang Gan.Jiang Gan looked at Sun Quan with a serious face.Sun Quan nodded slightly: "Forget it! Let's give it a go!"
