Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2185: Zhou Yu withdraws his troops and plots against Sun Quan

"To attract more people?"

"Kang Mazi, do you have any goals?"

"You have to know that this is a life-threatening matter!"

"If we can't be trusted, we two brothers will die together."

  "Moreover, the more people we involve, the greater the possibility of leakage!" Wang Yanqiu also analyzed very calmly!

The strength of the two of them is definitely not enough, but if they want to win over more people, there will be many problems.

If you are not careful, you will end up in pieces.

"It is precisely because this is not an easy thing. If we two brothers succeed, even if we go to His Majesty's side in the future, it will not be difficult to be conferred a title of nobility."

"Old Wang, I'm here to discuss something with you today because I want to ask you if you have any suitable candidate? Bring him to help us brothers!" Kang Yanxiao looked around carefully, then said with a low laugh.

"We can give that old fellow Pan Chongche a try! If we can win him over, he will definitely be a great help to us two brothers!" Wang Yanqiu finished the pancake in his hand and then spoke in a low voice with a look of unsatisfied expression.

Although Zhao Kuangyin no longer had many soldiers and horses, in a sense, he did not have much logistical pressure. However, the problem was that there was not much territory left!

Therefore, even if so many people were driven out, the food supply was still limited!

"That old fellow!"

"That old guy is Pan Mei's cousin! How can this work?" Although Kang Yanxiao knew that Wang Yanqiu would never talk nonsense, he was still a little surprised.

Pan Chongche and Pan Mei have nothing to do with each other in history, but in this life, although the identities implanted for the two people are not brothers, they are from the same family.

It was precisely because of Pan Mei, an early confidant of Zhao Kuangyin and a clan brother, that Pan Chongche, although his abilities were obviously inferior to those of the two of them, was able to climb above them.

"Kang Mazi, you don't know this!"

"That old guy is not a pure human being. These two people are not brothers. They are just brothers in the same clan. Do you think that old guy will care?"

"When it's time to take care of himself, that old guy won't care about others!" Wang Yanqiu's face showed a subtle hint of sarcasm, but he quickly concealed it.

After all, although it is not easy to arouse suspicion when talking about such a thing as losing one's head in public, the premise is that they must not show any suspicious behavior.

The Pan Chongche they mentioned is no different from them.

In history, this man was a general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and a famous general who was born as a eunuch. However, as a famous general of four dynasties, he was suspected by the emperor, and he led his people but did not fight several times, aiming to confront the emperor, and even surrendered to the Song Dynasty at a critical moment.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, fathers and sons killed each other, brothers fought each other, and military men rebelled at every turn. Not to mention the generals who constantly betrayed their masters, even the number of these military men who directly turned over and became emperors was countless.

  Otherwise, after Zhao Kuangyin came to power, he would not have given up military power over a toast, and the Song Dynasty would not have emphasized civil affairs over military affairs!

"Old Wang, this person is still a bit risky!" Kang Yanxiao finally said hesitantly.

"Kang Mazi, it is precisely because of the danger that we pull this person over, which will be more useful!" Wang Yanqiu shook his head. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's suspicious problem was even worse than Cao Cao's.

Pan Mei was killed in the battle by the Jin army. Compared with others, Zhao Kuangyin was more confident in Pan Chongche. Although it was just a little bit, sometimes, it was just a little bit.

In addition to Pan Chongche, the two men also mentioned other names, including Sun Quan's.

However, it was rejected by Kang Yanxiao in the end.

Sun Quan is indeed a good choice in terms of his loyalty to Zhao Kuangyin. He has no loyalty to Zhao Kuangyin at all, and is far inferior to them.

However, apart from this perspective, from any other perspective, Sun Quan is definitely not a good choice.

He was indeed the least loyal one to Zhao Kuangyin, but the problem was that he was also the one that Zhao Kuangyin watched the most closely. If they really got Zhao Kuangyin's attention because of winning over this person, then they would really have no chance.

Secondly, although Sun Quan was apparently given a good official position by Zhao Kuangyin, in fact, it was just a nominal position and he had no military power at all, let alone real military authority.

Among Sun Quan's men, only Zhou Yu had some military power.

However, even though Zhou Yu commanded 30,000 Xuzhou naval forces, he still had two deputy generals under him to check and balance Zhou Yu. Even at a critical moment, Zhao Kuangyin's order could be used to directly pull Zhou Yu off his horse.

But let’s not talk about it for now. Zhou Yu is also on the Yangtze River. Even if Zhou Yu is here, it will be of no use.

After Zhao Kuangyin suffered continuous defeats on the battlefields of the Central Plains, he could no longer trust even his former confidants as much as before, not to mention Zhou Yu, who he had always been on guard against.

You must know that after Pengcheng was captured, Sun Ce's mother, Sun Ce's sister, and Sun Ce's son had all fallen into Di Qing's hands.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhao Kuangyin continue to let Zhou Yu control the navy? He issued a secret order at the first opportunity, promoting him in name only and demoting him in reality. In the name of Liu Bei, he promoted Zhou Yu to the rank of General Henghai of the Han Dynasty and deputy general of the Han Dynasty navy, assisting the commander of the Han Dynasty navy, Wu Zixu, in participating in military affairs.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin nominally respected Liu Bei as emperor. Liu Bei's Qinghan was the orthodox Han Dynasty, and the Han navy was the coalition navy of the three forces.

After this transfer, Zhou Yu's position was indeed promoted in name.

But in reality, who among the three navies can control each other? The deputy commander of the Han navy has no power at all!

Moreover, he used this excuse to openly take away Zhou Yu's military power. Now Zhou Yu, as a military advisor, is, after all, doing the work of a strategist.

In essence, counselors do not have any real power. How much power they have depends entirely on how much power their boss gives them.

Therefore, for Kang Yanxiao and others, involving someone like Sun Quan would do more harm than good at this stage.

However, these two people are both of the type that are vicious and cruel. Especially, these two people are vicious and cruel, but they also have brains.

Therefore, although these two people are not planning to bring Sun Quan into their gang, it does not mean that they are not planning to use this force.
