The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 341: Qin Ru puts out firewood with firewood

Pang Tong was a famous scholar in Jingzhou, known as Fengchu, and had outstanding talents and intelligence.

He and Zhuge Liang were called "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix" by Mr. Shuijing.

He wanted to join Sun Quan's army, but was rejected by him because of his arrogance and rudeness.

In particular, he did not respect Zhou Yu enough, and was therefore not tolerated by the scholars of Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu had originally been thinking of such a talent.

Since he is not liked by the people in Jiangdong, then just keep him as a talent reserve for Jiangdong.

But Lu Su insisted on recommending him to Liu Bei?

If they allow him to go north and escape to Cao Cao now, neither family will benefit.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but wonder, who was Lu Su helping?
These things confused Zhou Yu, and he even complained about Lu Su recently.

Now, due to excessive worries, he finally fell ill.

No longer able to lead troops into battle.

When life is about to come to an end.

He began to try to understand Lu Su's mind.

From the moment Sun and Liu joined forces to fight against Cao.

Liu Bei was destined to be the Sun family's greatest enemy in the future.

Although Jiangxia was defeated in the previous battle, fortunately the Jiangdong III still had its strengths.

However, Zhou Yu and Yu Jin fought in Jiangxia for nearly half a year to no avail.

Although Liu Bei captured Guiyang with the tacit consent of Sun.

But if he had not occupied it in time when Sun's military strength was tight,
Once the four counties were taken by Cao Cao, Jiangdong would be in danger.

Therefore, losing Liu Bei as an ally would do more harm than good to Sun Quan.

Moreover, the people of Nanjun in Jingzhou were loyal to Liu Bei.

The scholars in Jingzhou were also more inclined to be loyal to Liu Bei.

Even if Jiangdong and Liu Bei fought each other.

Even if we can seize Changsha and Guiyang from them, they will find it difficult to sustain their rule in the future.

After all, Liu Bei had been under Liu Biao's command for many years, and the Sun family had been at odds with Jingzhou for a long time.

Even before Cao Cao went south, he killed Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia.

The people of Jingzhou know clearly who is good and who is evil.

So what basis did Sun Quan have to compete with Liu Bei for the hearts of the people in Jingzhou?

Today the North is strong and the South is weak.

If Cao Cao's steps cannot be stopped, the entire Jingzhou will be taken by him sooner or later.

After all, the Kuai and Cai families, both powerful families in Jingxiang, have already sided with Cao Cao.

Liu Bei occupied Changsha and Guiyang, blocking Jiangdong's way to the west.

But it’s better than letting Cao Cao succeed.

Perhaps from Lu Su's perspective.

Liu Bei was like a tiger lurking in Jingzhou.

Although it restricted the development of Jiangdong, we cannot easily make enemies with it.

If the Sun and Liu families fall out, it will only benefit Cao Cao.

Even if Liu Bei was eliminated, the Sun family would be left.

It would only lead to chaos in Jingzhou and the pressure of facing Cao Cao alone.

So Jingzhou cannot be settled.

The Sun family and the Liu family can't fall out with each other for a while.

So can Liu Bei really achieve his goal of taking Jiaozhou?

Not to mention that Jiaozhou is the land of Baiyue.

The place was filled with miasma and the people were wild and unruly.

Even if Liu Bei could take over Jiaozhou.

As long as Jiangdong is unhappy in the future, Liu Bei's retreat can be cut off at any time.

And Liu Bei, who was fighting for his life in the front, has become a worker for Sun, right?

Not to mention, Liu Bei was still thinking about Yizhou.

Although Liu Bei may not have the ability to march into Shuzhong at the moment.

But Sun Quan must be holding back and waiting for an opportunity.

In any case, Liu Xuande will never get any benefit.

In short, on the surface, the two families live in harmony.

In fact, they were secretly pinching each other's vital points behind the scenes.

Gradually, Zhou Yu also understood that Lu Su's mind was as clear as a mirror.

He is better at understanding the situation than I am.

Lu Su knew that the Sun and Liu families had to rely on each other to survive.

Just try every possible means to maintain superficial peace.

Don't give Cao Cao the opportunity to intervene.

He also wanted to use soft methods to make Liu Bei stop.

Zhou Yu, who followed Sun Ce to pacify the six counties of Jiangdong, never thought that the world would develop to this point.
It is true that time is also destiny.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu went against the majority's opinion and kept calling Cao Cao a traitor to the Han Dynasty.

They said he went against God's will and acted in a perverse way.

But in the end, Zhou Yu himself began to believe in destiny.

Jiangdong is now in this state.

And he has a lot of ambitions but nowhere to display them.

He will die at a young age on the banks of the Yangtze River.

Isn’t this exactly what God meant?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing that he was sad, Zhu Zhi also knelt down with a plop.

His voice trembled a little as he said, "Grand Commander, please don't be sad!"

"I swear to take Jingzhou back."

"Revenge the previous shame for Jiangdong!"

Zhou Yu shook his head upon hearing this.
"No... now is not the time."

"If Jiangdong can't take Jingzhou in the future, it's fine to let Liu Bei take it."

"Even if Liu Bei can't get it, Cao Cao must not get it easily."

"If Liu Bei gets Jingzhou, he can also fight against Cao Cao together."

"If Cao Cao gets Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be in danger..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhi also cried and asked:

"Are we just going to watch Liu Bei grow bigger and bigger?"

"Of course not...if he really gets Shu in the future."

"We will force him to give up Jiaozhou, or even Jingzhou..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhi wiped away his tears and said:

"To serve Qin with land is like carrying firewood to put out a fire!"

"If we raise a tiger to cause trouble in the future, how can we make it submit?"

Zhou Yu sighed upon hearing this:
"It's hard to predict God's will... I won't be able to see that day."

"From now on, I will rely on you and Zijing to support the overall situation in Jiangdong..."

Zhou Yu looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

Back then, he and Sun Ce were here to show their might.

He imagined that he would be able to unify the south of the Yangtze River in the future and go north to compete with Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ce passed away before he could complete his business.

And today, Zhou Yu will also die here.

Before he died, he wanted to see Sun Quan again and say a few words to Lu Su.

Assist a wise leader to achieve great success.

At the very least, he wanted to spend some time with his beloved concubine, Xiao Qiao.

But all these have become illusions.

At this time, a wild goose flew across the sky.

Its cry is clear and melodious, and it disappears into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Later, Zhou Yu died of illness in Ba Qiu at the age of 36.

After Zhou Yu died with hatred in his heart.

The whole of Jiangdong was plunged into grief.

Sun Quan ordered the three armies to wear mourning clothes, and he himself went to welcome Zhou Yu's coffin.

And after he got the suicide note left by Sun Quan.

In the end, Sun Quan followed Zhou Yu's advice.

Let Lu Su take over the position of Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Zhuge Liang, who was in Changsha, was also deeply saddened when he heard that Zhou Yu had passed away.

He insisted on attending the funeral in person, and Liu Bei and his men were unable to stop him.

I think since both of them are talented people in the world, they naturally appreciate each other.

If they didn't serve different masters, they would definitely be close friends.

For this reason, the Sun and Liu families put aside their temporary dispute in Jiaozhou.

Together they mourned for Zhou Gongjin.

On the other side, there was Cao’s army camp far outside Yangping Pass.

Cao Cao and his civil and military officials gathered in the big tent to discuss the strategy for taking Hanzhong.

At this time, a soldier came to report from outside the tent.

It was said that another messenger had arrived, saying that something big had happened in the south.

Cao Cao couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

I thought, he has just finished fighting the battle in the front, and now there is trouble in the rear?

After saying this, he waved his hand and ordered someone to present the letter.

When he opened the letter, Cao Cao's expression gradually turned from gloomy to bright!
