Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 134 Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun

If some problems are not mentioned, they will never be a problem.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu always used Yuan Shao to threaten Cao Cao, but they never thought about what they would do if Yuan Shao really killed Cao Cao.

So when He Yan raised this question today, both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had obvious embarrassment on their faces.

"Yuan Gong, um, Yuan Gong..."

Just when Sun Quan was racking his brains to compose the manuscript, He Yan dealt them a fatal blow——

"By the way, I remember that Sun Taoyao's wife is Yuan Shu's daughter, right? It turns out that the Sun family and the Yuan family still have this relationship. No wonder you are not afraid of Yuan Shao, ha ha."

It was originally a joke, but Sun Quan's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

After Yuan Shu became emperor, he was first stabbed in the back by Sun Ce, then beaten by Lu Bu, and then defeated by Boss Cao in Qiyang, so he had to return to Huainan Shouchun.

After shrinking in Shouchun for two years, Yuan Shu couldn't hold on any longer, so he was going to give Yuan Shao the emperor title of "Son of Heaven" and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, in order to seek his own way of life.

As a result, Yuan Shu was on his way back to the north, and Boss Cao sent Liu Bei and Zhu Ling to Xuzhou to cut off Yuan Shu's way. As a last resort, Yuan Shu had to return to Shouchun, and finally died of vomiting blood.

After Yuan Shu's death, his younger brother Yuan Yin did not dare to stay in Shouchun for a long time, so he took Yuan Shu's coffin and his family and fled to Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang.

Later, when Sun Ce broke through Wan County, he not only captured Er Qiao, but also married Yuan Shu's daughter to his younger brother Sun Quan, which solved the major life events of the three bachelors at once.

If Sun Ce was still alive, Sun Quan would marry Yuan's daughter, it would be no big deal, and he could even win over Yuan Shu's old department and appease the Jiangdong family.

But now Sun Ce is dead.

Not only is Sun Ce dead, but Sun Quan is now the lord of Jiangdong.

If Yuan Shao really took over the north, what Yuan's daughter brought to Sun Quan would not be a benefit, but a burden.

……

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu looked at each other, knowing that it was impossible to go any further on this matter.

Otherwise, it would really be the same as what He Yan said, and there would be no way to talk about it.

"What strategy does Sikong have to appease Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu still wanted to ask He Yan's bargaining chip first, so that he could be up for grabs.

He Yan didn't hide it, and directly said his hole card: "The title of Marquis Wu."

Sun Quan's biggest embarrassment now is that there is no official document.

Compared with his elder brother Sun Ce who first inherited the title of Marquis of Wucheng from Sun Jian, and was later canonized as "Marquis of Wu" by the court, Sun Quan's "general seeking captives" plus "prefect of Kuaiji" is really not enough.

After all, several other clans of the Sun family are also prefects and generals, no worse than Sun Quan.

But if Sun Quan inherits Sun Ce's "Marquis of Wu" title, not only will he be separated from other clans, but his legitimacy will also be endorsed by the court.

When Sun Quan heard He Yan's condition, he really beamed with joy, and almost lost his ability to nourish his energy.

This scene was naturally caught by He Yan's eyes.

Sun Quan's actions did not surprise He Yan.After all, legitimacy is still very serious right now.

The greatest use of Cao Cao's "holding the emperor" is not to "order the princes", but to "control the princes."

"Ling the princes" is purely a fool's dream. Anyway, He Yan has never seen a prince who can be called around by Cao Cao with a piece of paper.

Only by "controlling the princes" and hanging in front of these princes with things like "orthodoxy" as radishes, will they tirelessly move in the direction Cao Cao wants them to go in order to eat the radish.

The current Sun Quan is a good example!

Sun Quan almost broke his guard, but Zhou Yu, who was slightly older, resisted the temptation and couldn't help asking: "What does Marquis Shen want?"

Zhou Yu probably knew the "Marquis Wu" radish well, otherwise he wouldn't use "dead fish" and "Wan County" to lower the price.

What Zhou Yu was really worried about was what He Yan wanted.

"Gong Jin is really refreshing!"

With a smile on his face, He Yan said a condition for both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to live in Bengbu——

"I want you!"

Zhou Yu: w(Д)w
Sun Quan: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

--------

--------

The atmosphere in the military tent...

There is such a slight heaviness.

After dozens of breaths, Zhou Yu managed to recover from the shock, and responded with a smile on his face: "Marquis Shen was joking."

"No joke."

He Yan is serious!
"In Jiangdong, the only person who can change to the title of "Marquis of Wu" is you, Zhou Gongjin."

"Others, I don't even care about them!"

"..."

Zhou Yu didn't know whether he should cry or laugh at this time.

On weekdays, Zhou Yu prided himself on being an eloquent person, but today with He Yan, Zhou Yu didn't know what to answer several times.

"No!"

Before the Lord could reply, Sun Quan stood up in a hurry and ran over to block He Yan and Zhou Yu.

"No!"

Sun Quan's demeanor at this time was like that of a raging lion cub.Although immature, anyone can feel the arrogance on his body.

Seeing that Sun Quan lost his composure, Zhou Yu knew that he had completely lost the initiative in this negotiation, so he comforted him softly: "My lord..."

"you shut up!"

Little Sun Quan really lost his mind at this time, and completely let go of his disguise.For the first time in my life, I yelled at Zhou Yu: "Even without the 'Marquis of Wu', I can still put down the rebels and revive Jiangdong!"

He Yan: "..."

Doesn't this little fellow Sun Quan know that negotiation is the same as bargaining and can be negotiated?

For a moment, He Yan was also a little helpless, his eyes fluttered in the air, and accidentally met Zhou Yu's eyes.

Ok……

Zhou Yu was as helpless as He Yan at this time.

When they looked at each other, the two sides actually had a feeling of sympathy for each other, and felt a headache for Sun Quan, a brat.

"Ok?"

It was only then that Sun Quan noticed that He Yan and Zhou Yu met eyes "with affection", which undoubtedly made him even more furious.

"My lord, don't worry..."

Zhou Yu coaxed Sun Quan like a child, saying a lot of disgusting words.And He Yan also consciously turned his head elsewhere, counting ants in the corner of the tent.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhou Yu was still chattering.

Two quarters later.

Sun Quan is still wronged.

……

It wasn't until half an hour later that the monarch and his ministers finally reconciled and made up for the "crack" that He Yan had brought to them.

"Let Marquis Shen see the joke."

"No, no, I didn't hear anything!"

"..."

Zhou Yu looked at He Yan's ears that had been pricked up, and said with a hehe that he believed it.

The three sat down again, although Sun Quan was furious, but he still looked at He Yan with abnormal vigilance, for fear that He Yan would really snatch Zhou Yu away from him.

Even if Sun Quan's feelings for Zhou Yu were discarded, from the perspective of interests alone, Sun Quan could not let Zhou Yu leave.

Sun Quan doesn't care what he wants now, if Zhou Yu hadn't helped him maintain the scene, he would have been bullied to death by those uncles and brothers who held real power.

Without Zhou Yu, even if Sun Quan got the title of "Marquis of Wu", it would be of no use to him, and he would only make a wedding dress for others in the end.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Zhou Yu's value is far greater than that of a "Marquis of Wu", so Sun Quan is not willing to do this at a loss.

"Gong Jin is ashamed to receive the praise of Marquis Shen."

"Besides, I have long promised Bo Fu to stay in Jiangdong and fulfill his will. Marquis Shen should change to someone else."

It was impossible for Zhou Yu to leave.

And it's the kind of knockout and kidnapping that won't work.

Fortunately, He Yan didn't really want to poach Zhou Yu away. Zhou Yu was just a tool for him to raise prices.

"If Gongjin doesn't want to, then forget it."

"But apart from Gongjin, what else in Jiangdong can compare to the status of a "Marquis of Wu"?"

He Yan gradually recovered from the previous episode, and continued his aggressive posture: "Would you like to exchange the title of Marquis of Wu for the Sun family's Yuzhang County?"

The star is divided into Yizhen, and the ground is connected to Henglu.

Take the three rivers and lead the five lakes, control the wild Jing and lead Ouyue.

Yuzhang County is the gateway to the east and west of the river, and its role and status are equivalent to Tongguan and Hangu Pass in Guanzhong.

Anyone with a normal mind would not agree to a request for control of Hangu Pass from a Guanzhong force. Zhou Yu naturally shook his head and rejected He Yan.

"Then, would you be willing to exchange the position of Marquis of Wu for a million stones of grain?"

If Jiangdong can really take out a million shi of grain, Cao Cao would dare to go north to fight Yuan Shao now!

The problem is that although Jiangdong is rich...but he doesn't have so much food, Zhou Yu still chooses to refuse.

"Then take the position of Marquis of Wu and exchange 20 households, are you willing?"

This goes without saying. Originally, there were not many people in Jiangdong. After handing over 20 households, Jiangdong was basically empty. What will Sun Quan rely on to achieve hegemony in the future?
So Zhou Yu continued to refuse.

"I don't want this, I don't want that..."

"Gongjin, this is not an attitude to negotiate."

Following He Yan's asking price, Zhou Yu's momentum weakened a bit again: "Just say what Marquis Shen wants, but there is no need to be like this."

He Yan finally expressed his request this time——

"One hundred thousand stones of food and grass! In addition, there are many mountains in Lujiang County, and it is not easy to govern. I need a few people from the Sun family and a thousand soldiers to help me put down the banditry in Lujiang."

Zhou Yu looked at He Yan with a strange look after hearing this, thinking that He Yan is still greedy for himself, right?
"Don't worry, Zhou Gongjin is not among these people."

After He Yan gave Zhou Yu a vaccination, he said, "With Jiangdong's accumulation of [-] shi, grain and grass, we can definitely get it out. It's not a difficult task."

"As for the people, they are all talents recommended by Mr. Hua to Sikong. You Jiangdong Shuiqian bastard... No, it's the little demon of the temple! It's not right..."

"In short, it's too wasteful to keep those people. It's better to let them fight Shanyue with me!"

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that they have endured several rounds of torture from He Yan and their psychological endurance has become much stronger, this meeting might have collapsed.

He Yan said that he borrowed someone to pacify Shanyue, but both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu knew in their hearts that once they were given to He Yan, they would basically be beaten by meat buns and never return...

"Who does Marquis Shen want?"

"Not many, three people!"

He Yan showed his big white teeth, and announced three names——

"Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun!"

"Lu Su?"

"Lu Meng?"

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan each exclaimed, apparently surprised by the two people He Yan mentioned.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu are good friends, and Zhou Yu also knows Lu Su's talent.He was just curious how He Yan knew Lu Su's name.

Zhou Yu was not familiar with Lu Meng, but Sun Quan knew him very well.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan supported a group of young generals who took orders from him. Among them was Lu Meng, who was a Sima in another department.

Like Zhou Yu, Sun Quan was also curious about how He Yan knew Lu Meng's name.

On the contrary, it was Lu Xun...the two of them didn't know each other very well.

But what could be mentioned by He Yan, how could it be ordinary people?
Zhou Yu wanted to bargain: "Marquis Shen needs help from outsiders if he wants to pacify Shanyue?"

"Didn't Sun Ce pacify Jiangdong also get Gongjin's help?"

"Bo Fu and I are not outsiders!"

"Huh? Since you're not an outsider, could you be an insider?"

"..."

Zhou Yu immediately shut up, expressing that he did not want to entangle He Yan verbally.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was deflated, Sun Quan stepped forward to help and said, "Marquis Shen still needs others to get along with him in order to calm Shanyue. Wouldn't it hurt Marquis Shen's reputation to spread the word?"

"what?"

Is this about to start a fight?

He Yan hesitated: "It will indeed damage my reputation."

"After all, I took down a county with my bare hands, but I couldn't deal with a bunch of small Shanyue. It's really shameful to spread the word."

"..."

Sun Quan was also silent now.

After today's incident got out, everyone knew that everyone would only pay attention to how He Yan killed Li Shu and how he captured Lujiang.

What Laozishanyue is this... Who would care to pay attention to this? Hey!

Zhou Yu still couldn't bear to "lend" Lu Su to He Yan, and said somewhat depressedly: "Lu Zi's talent is not for suppressing bandits and chaos."

"I know this! Otherwise, I wouldn't want him!"

He Yan even said bluntly: "If Gong Jin is really Lu Zijing's close friend, he should understand that this mere land in the east of the Yangtze River cannot accommodate his ambition at all!"

Lu Su is always a good old man in the eyes of later generations.

But in fact, Lu Su is the one who really has a gully in his chest, and his aspirations are as bright as ever.

Sun Quan asked Lu Su about his strategy for the first time, and said to him: "The Han Dynasty today is like a building that is about to collapse, and the four directions are in turmoil. I inherit the foundation established by my father and brother, and hope to build up the achievements of Qi Huan and Jin Wen. Since you patronize me , Is there any good strategy to help me succeed?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Su directly angrily reprimanded Sun Quan: "In the past, Han Gaozu was loyal and loyal to respect Emperor Yi but failed in the end because Xiang Yu harmed Emperor Yi. Now Cao Cao is like Xiang Yu in the past. General, how can you become Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin? "

"In my opinion, the Han Dynasty cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated at once. For the sake of the general, the only way to see the changing situation of the world is to stand on the east of the river."

"It's an eventful autumn in the north now. You just take advantage of this change to wipe out Huang Zu, attack Liu Biao, try your best to occupy all the places south of the Yangtze River, and then claim the title of Emperor and build the title in order to seize the world and establish a great cause like Han Gaozu!"

Lu Su's grand blueprint was obviously not conspired by a separatist like Sun Quan, so Sun Quan had no choice but to say to Lu Su——

"I'm doing my best now, just to help the Han Dynasty."

"What Zijing said is beyond my comprehension..."
