Chapter 375 My good brother never lied to me!
While Cao Cao was preparing to attend the meeting.

On the other side, the released Jiangdong envoy had braved the wind and waves and returned to Sun Quan's ship.

When Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao had really accepted the invitation.

I couldn't help but frown slightly, as the great wishes in my heart seemed to have not come true last year.

At this time, Lu Meng was giving advice.

It is better to set an ambush underwater and attack suddenly at the critical moment.

The benefits of this move are naturally self-evident.

Sun Quan was moved by this.

But he immediately realized that Cao's army could also implement the same strategy, so he decisively rejected it.

"This is not a good move. Winning is gratifying, but losing will only make people laugh at you."

"Why would I, Sun Zhongmou, do such a petty theft?"

"Zi Lie and You Ping, you two should immediately arrange for a few light boats."

"Choose a few dozen strong men from the army to accompany me to this meeting."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu and Zhou Tai immediately bowed in agreement.

About half an hour later, the lake was sparkling.

Two groups of people came in light boats.

The two sides led by Cao Cao and Sun Quan were more than ten feet apart, facing each other from a distance.

But these mere ten feet seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

No matter who suddenly has evil intentions, they can escape safely under the protection of the guards.

Ensure the safety of your own family.

However, in this tense atmosphere.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan were surprisingly calm.

They are like the two overlords of the Central Plains and the Jiangnan region.

This was the first time they had faced off at close range like this.

And in another time and space, the Battle of Red Cliffs shocked the world.

Neither side had ever looked at each other from such a distance.

At this time, Cao Cao was the first to break the silence.

"Sun Zhongmou, I think back to the time when the eighteen princes fled to Dong."

"I and your father Sun Wentai will hold a meeting at Suanzao."

"At the time, he was carrying a young child with him, whose head was not as high as his father's shoulders."

"I think that young boy must be you."

"According to seniority, you should call me uncle."

Cao Cao chuckled and continued:
"But I didn't expect that time would pass by and fate would play tricks on me."

"You and I met on the Yangtze River."

"The child of the past has now reached the age of thirty."

"He is not only a few years older than my son Cao Zhang."

"How dare you lead the Jiangdong soldiers to fight against my uncle?"

"You are really a young man to be feared, and you are making great achievements."

On the boat, Cao Zhang heard what his father said.

I was secretly amazed in my heart.

My father, Cao Cao, is obviously not someone who would easily suffer a loss.

On the surface, it seems like reminiscing about the past, but in fact, there is a lot of thorns in his words.

Taking advantage of their old relationship, he regarded himself as the elder and put Sun Quan in the position of a junior.

It more cleverly implies Sun Quan's rebellion against the imperial court.

It seemed to remind him not to forget the lessons of his father.

This talk is indeed a brilliant psychological tactic, which is amazing.

On the other side, Sun Quan heard the sharpness hidden in Cao Cao's words.

He actually claimed to be an elder. Although he was resentful in his heart, his expression did not show any emotion.

"Prime Minister Cao is wrong."

"Quan is the emperor's vassal, guarding the Jiangdong territory."

"I have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Emperor."

"As for defying the royal teacher and rebelling against the emperor's decree, it is sheer nonsense."

"Whether it's the disputes between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in the past or the wars today..."

"I think it's because of the court, His Majesty's side."

"There are treacherous villains around, and traitors in power..."

When talking about treacherous villains, rebellious ministers and rebels.

Sun Quan's eyes were sharp, pointing directly at Cao Cao.

The two fists were clasped together and raised to the Emperor of Xudu to show loyalty.

"These extremely treacherous and evil people have blinded the emperor's wisdom."

"He deceived the court officials and caused a rift between the officials of Jiangdong and the emperor." "Quan and many loyal and courageous people in Jiangdong,"

"How painful it is in my heart!"

Sun Quan's rebuttal was tit-for-tat.

There is no dirty word in every sentence, but every word is a gem.

But he did not mention his name directly, but pointed the finger at Cao Cao!

After hearing what this person said, Cao Zhang couldn't help but feel furious.

No wonder Sima De discussed with him the heroes of the world.

It is often said that Duke Wei followed the ways of a king and a hegemon.

Sun Quan, however, was good at calculating and was very good at weighing pros and cons.

This is really my brother-in-law, my good brother never deceives me!

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang also began to guess what each of them was thinking.

His gaze turned to his father Cao Cao.

I want to see how the old man responds to Sun Quan's rebuttal.

In an instant, Cao Cao suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead and said:
"So that's how it is! In the opinion of my nephew Zhongmou."

"It was the treacherous officials in the court who deceived the emperor and me?"

"Hahaha! In that case, my dear nephew, you can rest assured."

"Those traitors who deceived the emperor and disrupted the government."

"People like Dong Cheng, Kong Rong, and Ma Teng have already been eliminated by Cao Cao."

"My dear nephew, you can withdraw your troops back to Jiangdong and lead the civil and military officials who are loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"Follow me to Xudu to meet the emperor and explain the hidden truth."

"Then the emperor will surely reward you handsomely."

"Even if my dear nephew is one of the Nine Ministers, it won't be a difficult matter."

Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly fell silent!
Sun Quan's mouth twitched at this moment.

Even Cao Cao's good eldest son Cao Zhang.

At this moment, I was speechless!

No one present had expected this.

Cao Cao pretended to be oblivious to Sun Quan's sarcasm.

He found loopholes in his words and began to shamelessly try to persuade him to surrender.

When I think of Dong Cheng, Kong Rong and Ma Teng.

I guess the grass on the grave is almost taller than a horse’s back!

At this time, Cao Cao still dragged him out and whipped his corpse.

He was accused by Sun Quan of being a treacherous villain who deceived the emperor.

So even a smart man like Sun Zhongmou had to face Cao Cao's thick skin like a city wall.

I was speechless for a moment.

But Cao Zhang knew his old man's character well.

Seeing Sun Quan's expression at this time, he almost laughed!

However, just when Sun Quan was silent for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Cao Cao suddenly shouted: "Good job Sun Quan!"

"You claim to be loyal to the emperor, but you raise an army against the court."

"Just because the emperor was deceived by treacherous people, he committed a rebellious act!"

"Now that the treacherous villains have been eliminated, I invite you to go to Xudu to meet the emperor."

"Yet you still hold your troops and are unwilling to come to Xudu in person. What is your intention?"

"Could it be that there are no treacherous and rebellious officials in this court?"

"And outside this court, there is the land of Jiangnan."

"But he is a true traitor who is plotting rebellion and coveting the Han Dynasty?!"

Cao Cao's move was a counterattack.

Just throw back the dirty water that Sun Quan threw on him!
His sophisticated methods fully demonstrate the true character of an elder.

On the other side, Sun Quan heard Cao Cao's clever words and confusing right and wrong.

No matter how calm his personality was, he couldn't help but snort coldly at this moment!
If he entered Xudu, how could he have a chance of survival?
Therefore, he was unwilling to be outdone and replied sternly:

"Cao Mengde! A treacherous hero in troubled times, he truly deserves the title!"

"His skill in analyzing and making tricky remarks is so great that even Sun Quan himself cannot compare to him!"

"Who is loyal and who is treacherous between you and me?"

"The emperor and the people have their own calculations in mind!"

"Today, a certain general will lead the Jiangdong army to the north."

"I will eliminate all of you traitors and rescue the emperor to restore the Han Dynasty!"

"As for your fate, Cao Mengde, I'm afraid it won't be much better than Wang Mang's in the past!"
