Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 36 Could it be that Pang Tong saw through my plan?

Liu Bei finally listened to Zhuge Liang and ignored Xu Shu's secret letter. Just like he missed Ye Fan, he also missed Pang Tong.

However, Lu Su rushed the news to Zhou Yu in advance, and asked Zhou Yu to find ways to win over Pang Tong to come to Jiangdong.

He has determined that the person who advises Cao Cao is Pang Tong, known as Feng Chu!
  "Humph, Pang Tong?"

After Zhou Yu received the news from Lu Su, he immediately slapped his palm on the table. He was shocked and angry, with dissatisfaction and resentment written all over his face.

"Could it be that Pang Tong really saw through my plan? Why should he?"

Pang Tong also applied for a job in Jiangdong, but after seeing his appearance, no one dared to use him. Many people even made fun of Pang Tong. Zhou Yu naturally knew about this.

Therefore, when he heard that Pang Tong appeared in Jingzhou, it was even possible that Pang Tong helped Cao Cao make plans and saw through his plan. His first reaction was not to believe it.

"How could I, Zhou Gongjin, who is both talented and beautiful, and even known as 'Lang Zhou', lose to a mere Pang Tong? I'm just a short, ugly man!"

In Cao Cao's military tent, two generals, Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao, were reporting on the results of the Battle of Jingzhou, with indescribable pride on their faces.

After they chased Gan Ning, they deployed heavy troops on the river bank. They only returned after making sure that Gan Ning really retreated and would not kill another carbine.

In this battle, Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan commanded it well and annihilated more than 10,000 people in Jiangdong at a very small cost, and captured 2,000 more.

After hearing the number of beheadings and prisoners, Cao Cao smiled from ear to ear.

"Zhou Yu's son is probably going to be angry to death this time. They used troops against Jingzhou twice, but were defeated both times. I guess they are busy asking Sun Quan for mercy at this time!"

Xun You hurriedly stood up and said: "Prime Minister, this great victory in the battle of Jingzhou was all due to the Prime Minister's ingenious plan of anticipating the enemy's advance. He knew that Zhou Yu would come for a sneak attack and arranged an ambush in advance, so he won."

"If you ask me, this victory is entirely due to the Prime Minister!"

Although it was flattery, it was very useful to Cao Cao, and this battle was indeed won because of Cao Cao. Otherwise, even if they could block Jiangdong's sneak attack, they would suffer heavy losses.

Jia Xu also stood up and said: "My lord has a shocking plan. Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others are no match for my lord. They are manipulated by my lord. This is unprecedented and unprecedented."

It was also flattering, but he took the flattery to another level.

Moreover, Jia Xu really admired Cao Cao's operation. Although this was a bit exaggerated, it was said from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Cao nodded silently, smiling as he listened to the praises for himself, but what he was thinking about was Mark, because although these words were praising him, they were actually praising Mark.

"Ye Fan's plan is indeed unparalleled in the world. If such a person is used by me, the world will not be under control? I must bring some good wine and meat to him later!"

After he came to his senses, he looked at Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao.

"Two generals, you have worked hard. Go down and rest quickly. We will hold a celebration banquet tonight to celebrate your achievements. I will naturally report this credit to the emperor!"

Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan were immediately overjoyed. The key to this battle was mainly because they knew Jiangdong's movements in advance, so they were able to win.

Even if someone else comes, it will be a big victory. The two of them are actually influenced by Mark.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

The two of them left the military tent with great gratitude.

Cheng Yu also walked out at this time and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Prime Minister, this battle will definitely make Zhou Yu afraid to invade Jingzhou easily again."

"If you still dare to attack, let him never come back!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, his eyes stern.

On the other side, news of Zhou Yu's defeat quickly spread back to the land of Jiangdong.

The previous defeat had caused people to talk a lot about Zhou Yu, but this defeat made them even more frustrated, thinking that the power of Cao's army was irresistible.

The clans in Jiangdong became more determined to seek peace with Cao Cao.

If they take the initiative to seek peace now, they can still keep everything they have now, but if they wait until they are defeated before seeking peace, Cao Cao will definitely not take them seriously by then.

So when Sun Quan convened the ministers to discuss matters, the clans jumped out one after another and accused Zhou Yu.

"My lord, Zhou Yu's successive defeats at the front have caused heavy losses to Jiangdong. Now the people are even more panicked and uneasy. If this continues, we in Jiangdong will be in chaos before Cao Cao's army comes over!"

Zhang Zhao stood up first and said sternly.

Sun Quan's face was very ugly. He glanced at Zhang Zhao but said nothing.

Although he supported Zhou Yu, he was already very irritated when he saw Zhou Yu lose one after another, but these clans still wanted to add insult to injury, which made him feel even more disgusted.

But the clans had already united, and when they saw Sun Quan ignoring them, someone else immediately stood up.

"My lord, now the matter is urgent and imminent. Our only way out in Jiangdong is to ask Cao Cao for peace. Only in this way can we ensure the stability of Jiangdong. My lord, can we bear to see Jiangdong in chaos?"

Gu Yong's words were awe-inspiring, but he didn't care about the people. He only cared about his own family.

Advisor Kan Ze also came out and said: "My lord, I don't just want to ask for peace from Cao Cao, but I also want to remove Zhou Yu's military power first. He repeatedly provoked Cao Cao and failed, causing heavy losses to Jiangdong, and may also cause trouble." Being angry with Cao Cao will lead to unpredictable consequences!"

With one look and one word, these people seem to regard them as the saviors of Jiangdong, saying that surrendering to Cao Cao is their only way out for Jiangdong.

Some even suggested that Zhou Yu be handed over to Cao Cao to express their determination to surrender Jiangdong.

With a bang, Sun Quan slapped the table hard with his face, his face as gloomy as water.

He wanted to reprimand these people, but he still didn't say it out loud. After all, Jiangdong's situation made him worried.

He stood up suddenly and said coldly: "Okay, everyone, please step aside. We will discuss this matter another day!"

Then, regardless of the objections of others, he left the front hall and went to the back.

Zhang Zhao and others gathered to discuss, but most of the generals turned and left, full of contempt for those who advocated surrender.

Sun Quan was in a irritable mood.

"A bunch of moths, a powerful enemy is pressing down on the country, but they only care about the interests of the family and ignore Jiangdong. They all look like they are just and upright. I wonder how sorry Jiangdong is for them!"

"Especially that Zhang Zhao, talking nonsense and surrendering just because of his age? It's a shame he could say it! He just gave up Jiangdong to others like this. He has no backbone at all!"

"It is because of these people that Jiangdong suffered successive defeats against Cao Cao. If everyone was united, how could they be afraid of that thief Cao Cao?"

Sun Quan vented his anger and punched the wall next to him.
