Han Shimou

At such a young age, Master Sima did not panic, behaved steadily, and did not lose his etiquette, secretly thinking that Sima Yi taught his son well.Jia Xu then introduced Xu Chu, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Hao Zhao and others to Master Sima one by one.After Master Sima saluted one by one, Cao Pi and Hao Zhao were all sharp-eyed people, and they also saw the extraordinaryness of Master Sima, so they didn't look down on him.As for Xu Chu and Cao Zhang, when they saw Sima's teacher and student had a hulking back and a pair of huge ape arms, if they had the power to tear a tiger and capture a bear, they secretly marveled, and did not look down on them.Sima Shi handed Cao Cao's documents to Jia Xu.Jia Xu's face was startled, he smiled suddenly, and talked to Xu Chu and others.

"Haha. Just wait and see, as the old man expected, His Majesty has a plan!"

Master Sima's expression darkened when he heard this, but he couldn't speak out about the peace.I saw Jia Xu opened the document, his eyes flickered, he looked at it quickly, his face changed continuously, and finally he sighed.

"Your Majesty is talented and strategic, his strategy is high, and ghosts and gods are unpredictable, it is indeed a hundred times better than someone!!"

Upon hearing this, Master Sima's complexion changed suddenly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.Xu Chu, Cao Pi and others also came to ask questions one after another. Jia Xu laughed but did not answer, but taught the generals to prepare accordingly.

Cao Cao didn't know what strategy was brewing in this room.At the same time, in the main hall of Wu County.Sun Quan sat high on the throne, laughing repeatedly, with a happy expression on his face, and said to his highness Zhu Ran and Lu Dai.

"Hahahaha!! Good! Good!! Good!!! Bo Yan lived up to Gu's expectations!! Yifeng, Dinggong and you all made great contributions. This time you not only helped Gu defeat Wei Kou, but also burned Most of Wei Kou's luggage was taken away. Calculated by lone material, Wei Kou's army's luggage can last for seven or eight days at most. The old thief is captured, he died in vain for all Soochow's handsome men, and he will have his great revenge, shame on him!!"

After Sun Quan laughed, Zhu Ran and Lu Dai were both made generals, and each was rewarded with gold, silver and jewels.The two thanked each other, and retreated to the table.Sun Quan then rewarded Lu Su, Lu Meng and other meritorious soldiers one by one. All the generals were overjoyed and thanked them one after another.Afterwards, Lu Su's expression froze, and he talked to Sun Quan.

"As Yifeng and Dinggong said. Zhuge Kongming and other remnants of Shu have contributed a lot to our army's victory this time. When the war is over, Dongwu can be pacified. The king should reward them one by one to win over His heart. Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, is still young and difficult to control the overall situation. If the king can take Zhuge Kongming and other remnants of Shu for use, our Eastern Wu will be even more powerful!!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his blue eyes shone brightly, and he nodded heavily in response.

"What Zijing said is the truth. You know it."

At this time, Zhang Zhao suddenly appeared, cupped his hands and remonstrated.

"The old thief has always been cunning and treacherous, so you must not take it lightly. For example, in the battle of Hebei in the past, Yuan Benchu ​​had the upper hand, but the old thief finally turned the tide and turned the tide with strategy. The battle is now at a critical time, and the king is more cautious. "

Sun Quan's face tightened when he heard this, and he asked in a concentrated voice.

"Oh? According to the prime minister, how about being alone?"

"The old bandit doesn't have much luggage, so he will retreat in a few days. Our army will stand still and watch the changes. When the time comes, the army's morale will be broken, and it will attack when it is full. This is the way to win."

Zhang Zhaoji spoke sternly, with a serious face, and said in a deep voice.After Sun Quan heard this, he turned his eyes to the crowd of civil and military personnel, and everyone seemed to agree with Zhang Zhao's words, and agreed one after another.Sun Quan obeyed.

The battle of Wu County seems to be a foregone conclusion.But the so-called soldiers are tricky.Cao Cao has gone through countless battles in his life, and he was able to brave the wind and waves and turn the tide every time. Only then can he establish an empire, create a great Wei Dynasty, and win two-thirds of the world.How could such a peerless hero be willing to sit and wait for death! ?

On the next day, Cao Zhen took the order, led dozens of servants, and rushed straight to the foot of Wu County, shouting loudly, reporting his intention.When the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly came to report to Lu Meng.Lu Meng heard that Cao Cao sent his fake son Cao Zhen as an envoy to make peace.After hearing this, Lu Meng frowned, and after pondering for a while, he quickly taught the soldiers to report to Sun Quan.

After a while, Sun Quan sent someone to report and called Cao Zhen into the city to see him.Lu Meng then taught the soldiers to open the city gate and led Cao Zhen all the way to the main hall in the city.When he was young, Cao Zhen followed Lu Meng to the front of the hall.Cao Zhen didn't dare to be presumptuous at all, so he saluted first.Sun Quan saw that Cao Zhen was not as rampant as the previous Wei envoy, and his cold expression changed for the better, so he said coldly.

"Wu and Wei are incompatible, you are an old thief and a hypocrite, what are you doing here!?"

When Cao Zhen heard the words, he said slowly without any fear, without any haste.

"I heard that the king of Wu, whose benevolence and righteousness are everywhere, is deeply respected by the people. He is a wise king of a generation. Hearing this question today, I am really disappointed!!"

As soon as Cao Zhen said this, Zhang Zhao's complexion changed immediately, and he came out angrily, and shouted sharply.

"Shu Zi, don't be presumptuous!! I am the majestic king of Eastern Wu, the lord of a country, how can I allow you, an ignorant child, to slander you like this!!"

Cao Zhen listened, sneered and laughed, and spoke quickly.

"I was ordered by Emperor Wei to come forward to make peace and meet each other with courtesy. If King Wu is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, he should treat each other with courtesy, so why would he make things difficult!?"

"Hmph, what a sharp-tongued madman!! Your Majesty, this son is Cao Mengde's fake son, why don't you capture him, and when our army fights Wei, cut off his head and sacrifice the flag for the three armies!! "

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, and spoke to Sun Quan quickly.Sun Quan's expression froze, but he waved his hand and said to Cao Zhen solemnly.

"Emperor Wei wants to make peace with Gu, but he doesn't know that the hatred between Wu and Wei is deep. This matter is difficult! You retreat quickly and tell Emperor Wei that Gu and the heroes of Dongwu have already decided to fight to the death with him. Make peace Don’t bring up the matter again!!”

Cao Zhen listened, but did not move, just sneered.Seeing this, Sun Quan felt a ignorant fire in his heart, and said coldly.

"Cao Zidan why are you laughing!?"

"I laugh at King Wu, he doesn't understand the overall situation, and he will be destroyed in the future!!"

Cao Zhen answered immediately, his words were sharp, as soon as the words came out, Lu Meng and other generals shouted angrily, all of them were murderous, as if they wanted to tear Cao Zhen to pieces.Sun Quan stopped sharply, his blue eyes were imposing, and his voice was cold and cold.

"Cao Zidan, do you know that when you waited for the envoy of the Great Wei to stand above this hall, you spoke out loudly and humiliated each other, what will happen to you!?"

"I have also heard about this matter. That person is arrogant and has no manners. He is detrimental to our great Wei image. He deserves to die, so he should be killed!"

Cao Zhen answered quickly.When Sun Quan heard this, the coldness on his face faded slightly, and he spoke to Cao Zhen again.

"You know this, how dare you be presumptuous!?"

"The king of Wu is angry. Just listen to me. Although Eastern Wu has the upper hand now, if the king of Wu cuts our way of life, we can only fight to the death. In this way, both sides will suffer. At present, the Western Tang Dynasty has destroyed the Shu Han for nearly a year. With Tang Wang Wen Bufan's ability, Xichuan must be stable. Wen Bufan is an ambitious man, and it won't be long before he will take advantage of the great Wei and Eastern Wu. When both are defeated, he will go out with great force. And my Great Wei still has hundreds of thousands in the Central Plains to guard But now, Soochow's military strength is almost exhausted, and at that time, it will not be able to resist Wen Bufan's troops from the Western Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Wen Bufan has occupied Xichuan, and it is advisable to advance from Jiaozhou by land. In this way, Soochow has no danger of the Yangtze River. The army of the Western Tang Dynasty has always been elite, fighting on land, the only one who can fight against it is our army of the Great Wei. The king of Wu must know the pros and cons of this, and how to make a choice depends on the king of Wu!!"

Cao Zhen's eyes were sharp, and he came right into Sun Quan's eyes.Sun Quan's complexion changed drastically upon hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, all the civil and military men of the Eastern Wu Dynasty in His Highness were also worried, not knowing what to do.Lu Su's face tightened, and he said to Sun Quan.

"If that's the case, why don't your majesty take a look at what Emperor Wei said in his letter?"

Sun Quan frowned when he heard this, and after pondering for a while, he still obeyed Lu Su's words.Cao Zhen quickly delivered the letter, Sun Quan opened it and looked at it, the cold expression on his face disappeared in a short time.It turned out that in Cao Cao's letter, he first comforted him with kind words, then stated his interests, and promised to return to the land he occupied.As for the previous request for hostages such as Sun Shangxiang, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao, Cao Cao didn't mention a word.Sun Quan's face darkened, and he talked to Cao Zhen.

"Emperor Wei's intentions are very sincere. But after all, Wei Wuyi came first to commit crimes. If Gu makes peace with Wei so easily, what will happen to the country of Dongwu!? This is a big matter, so you step back and rest at the station for a while. I will call you here after I discuss it with the ministers."

When Cao Zhen heard the words, he didn't bother him too much. After saluting respectfully, he quickly retreated with several soldiers.

"This son is calm and steady, no wonder he is appreciated by the old thief and adopted as his adopted son."

After Cao Zhen left, Zhang Zhao spoke slowly while supporting his chin and long beard.Sun Quan narrowed his blue eyes and changed his color slightly, so he instructed his left and right courtiers to announce Cao Cao's letter.After the announcement, Sun Quan asked everyone again.

"My dear family, do you think that the old thief's reconciliation is sincere?"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then silently nodded and answered.

"The old thief knows that there are lessons learned from the past, but he still dares to send his fake son here, and he listens to what he says in his letter, which shows his sincerity."

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yong followed up.

"What the Prime Minister said is true. Yong Shi just listened to Cao Zhen's theory, most of which were taught by the old thief. The old thief has worked hard, or the governor may find it difficult to disobey. He wants to make peace, withdraw from the hinterland, and save his old life. "

After hearing this, Sun Quan smiled coldly and said calmly.

"Hmph!! The old thief is helpless, but wants to make peace? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!?"

As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Lu Meng's expression shook, his tiger eyes shone brightly, and he spoke to Sun Quan.

"What the king said is very true. The old thief wants to swallow the world, and everyone in the world knows what his heart is. If we don't take the opportunity to kill him this time, the old thief will definitely make a comeback in the future. !!"

After Lu Meng finished speaking, Zhao Zi suddenly said again.

"But what Cao Zidan said is not empty words. If Xitang takes advantage of the fisherman's advantage and attacks while it is empty, we will be in a difficult position to defend!!"

As soon as Zhao Zi said this, the expressions of all the civil and military personnel in the hall suddenly changed.Sun Quan took a deep breath and hesitated.Lu Meng seemed to have expected it long ago, and spoke harshly with Sun Quan.
