In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

Liu Bei was about to speak up and explain for Zhao Yu.

"Sir, what is your current position?"

"My name is Yi from Beihai, and I am now appointed as the Commandant of Jiangdong."

"Whose salary are you receiving?"

"This is Jiang... his salary from the imperial court!"

Shi Yi gritted her teeth and said,

Jiangdong nominally still respects the Han Dynasty.

Of course, one cannot speak carelessly.

"Who approved the use of the imperial funds?"

"this……"

"It was approved by Cao Cao."

Zhao Yu spread his hands, looking at him like he was an idiot.

"The Emperor resides in Xuchang, the Imperial Seal is in Xuchang, and the national treasury is in Xuchang. Your monthly salary is paid by the Prime Minister on behalf of His Majesty."

Zhao Yu clicked his tongue twice.

"He picks up the bowl to eat, then puts it down and curses his mother."

"It's Ziyu. Between the two of us, who is the real thief?"

"you……"

Shi Yi's face flushed red instantly.

"That's sophistry! That's the emperor's money! Cao Cao was nothing more than..."

"Without Prime Minister Cao, the Emperor would be starving right now."

"You're so capable, why didn't you go to save His Majesty when he was in trouble?"

"What are you pretending to be so arrogant about? Isn't it all thanks to His Majesty's imperial seal that Lord Wu is able to possess Jiangdong?"

"Without Your Majesty, you wouldn't know where you'd be right now."

Ding Yi didn't forget to add insult to injury.

"Did you hear me? Don't take next month's salary. Have some backbone! Starving to death is a small matter, but losing your integrity is a big deal!"

Shi Yi clutched her chest and swayed twice.

He slumped down.

Round one, a complete defeat.

"Nonsense!"

The Grand Commander could no longer tolerate it.

He doesn't need to talk about legal principles; he talks about hatred.

Zhou Yu stood up.

"Eloquent tongue! You dare to talk about loyalty and righteousness?"

"When Cao Cao's army marched south, Jingzhou was devastated, and millions of people were displaced. Isn't this blood debt your doing?"

"Zhao Yu, are you able to sleep well at night?"

"Was there widespread bloodshed?"

"Yes, it was truly tragic."

Zhao Yu nodded; what Zhou Yu said was true.

"But who's to blame?"

"It's all your fault."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Zhou Yu wanted to retort:

"Bullshit! Did we invite Cao Cao here?"

cut

"Prime Minister Cao issued a proclamation, promising that as long as one surrenders, the territory and people will be protected and no harm will be done to them."

"We came in peace."

Today, I dare say that if you kneel down and surrender, I guarantee that not even a single chicken in Jiangdong will die.

"It was because you, Zhou Gongjin, insisted on fighting, insisted on fulfilling your dream of becoming a general for all ages, that war broke out and people died."

"so."

Zhao Yu's eyes turned cold.

"When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer."

"The people who died and the houses that burned down—this debt must be settled with you, Governor Zhou."

"Damn it!!"

Today's discussion is a dialogue, not a fight.

"How dare you say that?"

"Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, the feigned surrender and the ruse of self-inflicted injury!"

"Back then, you were my executioner! I made you beat Huang Gai to put on a show for Cao Cao!"

"But what about you?"

Speaking of which,

Zhou Yu wished he could devour Zhao Yu.

By beheading a general before the battle, Zhou Yu nearly ruined his grand ambition.

"Is that an execution? That's murder!"

"General Huang was killed in one battle."

"They killed my veteran general, almost ruining my grand plan, and then turned around and surrendered to Cao Cao!"

"Zhao Yu! You haven't uttered a single word, you treacherous scoundrel seeking personal gain, you ruthless villain, yet you dare to talk about 'peace' before me today?"

This is Jiangdong's pain.

The death of Huang Gai was a permanent scar on Zhou Yu's heart.

Zhao Yu laughed.

Revisited.

Huang Bing came once.

You're coming again today.

"Grand Commander, you have no conscience!"

"It was your order to fight to the death."

"Military orders are absolute. If you die, it's your problem. Besides, I should have guessed correctly back then that you didn't expect me and Brother Huang Bing to come back."

"As a dutiful executioner, I strictly followed your orders. What's wrong with that?"

"General Huang is physically weak and cannot withstand the pressure. Even if he could withstand it, he would still suffer if he were to feign surrender."

"It's all because your plan was too ruthless, how can you blame the stick?"

Zhao Yu deliberately punched the wall next to him.

Clutching his chest,

"Zhou Gongjin, I'm sorry about Huang Gai, but you yourself caused Huang Gai's death and feel guilty. Please don't pin the blame on me."

"Is this all the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is capable of?"

"you--!!"

Zhou Yu was so angry that he almost died; if Lu Su hadn't held him tightly,

He's really going to go up and chop someone up again.

no,

We can't talk about this anymore.

We need to shift the focus of our conflict.

Sun Quan quickly gave another person a wink.

Yan Jun, courtesy name Mancai.

He was a renowned scholar from Jiangdong, an honest man, and a master of classical studies.

Bypass Zhao Yu, that shameless scoundrel, and attack Liu Bei.

Yan Jun stood up.

He picked up the conversation.

"Mr. Zhao is sharp-tongued; we've certainly learned our lesson."

"But shouldn't Liu Bei offer an explanation for what happened outside the city today?"

"Lord Wu personally traveled ten miles to greet him, displaying impeccable manners. However, the Imperial Uncle acted as if he hadn't seen him at all and strode away."

"May I ask, Imperial Uncle, is it that I lack hospitality, or that you simply don't take my six prefectures and eighty-one counties of Jiangdong seriously?"

"If you look down on Lord Wu, then this marriage is off!"

That's a ruthless move.

This escalated into a diplomatic incident, forcing Liu Bei to make a statement.

Liu Bei even remembered to make polite excuses about the two armies' eagerness to see each other's hearts.

A greasy duck leg was tossed over.

It hit Yan Jun's white robes squarely.

It left behind a large oil stain.

"none of your business."

It was Ding Yi who spoke.

He swallowed the meat in his mouth.

He didn't get up.

"you……"

Yan Jun looked down at the oil stains on his body.

"This is an insult to civility! What did you say?"

"I said, it's none of your business."

Ding Yi stood up.

He was somewhat hunched over, and the injury to his ribs hadn't healed yet.

"Who is Liu Huangshu? He's the Imperial Uncle of the Han Dynasty, the uncle of the current emperor! He's a member of the royal family!"

"Who is Sun Quan? He's a Marquis of Wu, and a second-generation ancestor who inherited his father's and brothers' estates."

"In terms of seniority, the Imperial Uncle is the elder; in terms of rank, there is no comparison."

"If a dragon in the sky sees a dirt dog on the ground, does it have to stop and greet it?"

"The Imperial Uncle can talk to whomever he wants, and leave whenever he wants."

"But you, a mere servant, what are you barking about before your master has even spoken?"

"You...you..."

Yan Jun spent his life debating with people.

That's quoting classical texts.

From the Book of Poetry to the Book of Rites.

I have never seen such a vulgar person.

They immediately started using terms like "nonsense," "country bumpkin," and "house slave."

"Vulgar! Rude! Absolutely an insult to civility!"

Yan Jun held back for a long time,

Only these few sentences came out.

"Refined?"

Ding Yi simply ripped off his clothes.

The shoe print on his chest was exposed (it was deliberately deepened).

"I, Ding, came here on behalf of His Majesty. I was kicked unconscious on my second day in Jiangdong."

"You Jiangdong people still talk to me about being civilized?"

"I, Ding Yi, am a troll. If I can't stand something, I'll keep it to myself; if I can't hold it in, I'll just die."

"Don't try to quote me from classical texts. I've read more books than you, but today I don't want to reason with you, I just want to curse you."

The entire audience was speechless after Ding Yi's retort.

Liu Bei silently picked up his teacup.

She covered the smile from the corner of her mouth.

This Ding Yi... is so useful, he's practically a vicious dog.
