Chapter 96: Is it too early to become a marquis now?
"If everything goes well, we can just sit back and enjoy the results!"

"Then the mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole will be behind."

"And I, Koto, do it effortlessly."

"Then we can take Changsha in a legitimate manner!"

"Oh?" Sun Quan heard Zhang Zhao's words.

But he showed a hint of heartbeat.

I just think this statement is indeed reasonable!
If they, Jiangdong, fight Cao Cao now, it will be a thankless task.

But fighting Liu Bei is different.

Not only can it clear out the enemy next to the bed.

You can also take advantage of the situation and reap the fruits of victory!
You know, the imperial edict is now coming.

When he attacks Liu Bei in Jiangdong, he has the reputation of great righteousness!

Moreover, he, Sun Quan, now holds the title of Jingzhou Mu.

Since he is Jingzhou Mu, then Changsha will naturally belong to him!
This is not Cao Cao's trick.

Instead, assess the situation and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!
At this moment, all the civil servants from Jiangdong who were present also said one after another:
"Zhang Zibu's words are exactly the plan of the old man to seek the country!"

Sun Quan also nodded repeatedly at this time.

Then he said, "Well, Zibu, this is a wonderful idea!"

"As you said! Send troops to Changsha to attack the traitor Liu Bei!"

At this time, only Lu Su frowned and remained silent.

When he came, he got a message from the governor Zhou Yu.

Zhou Gongjin wanted to send troops to Jiangxia.

But now the lord is persuaded by Zhang Zhao.

But he wants to send troops to attack Liu Bei?
If so, wouldn't it be contrary to the intention of the Grand Governor?

However, although I feel something is wrong.

But there was nothing wrong with Lu Su.

He had no choice but to follow his master's wishes.

Hence the general trend of Jiangnan.

It began to develop in a completely different direction from its original history.

And it exceeded Sima De’s original expectations.

It started getting out of hand.

A few days later, on the official road not far from Xuchang.

"What? Huang Zhong actually didn't surrender to Liu Bei?"

"You also shot Guan Yu and went to Jiangdong?"

Sima De was now following Cao Jun's returning troops.

Holding a military newspaper in my hand, my mind is a little overwhelmed!
Why was this different from what he expected?
Although in the end Liu Bei still captured Changsha.

However, the development of things is indeed unexpected!
At this time, Boss Cao, who was sitting on the carriage next to him, laughed.

"Renda is making too much fuss."

"Then Liu Bei killed Jiang Xia Huang She."

"Perhaps Huang Zhong is from the Huang clan in Jingzhou."

"This Huang Zhong is just a nobody."

"Although he was lucky enough to shoot Guan Yu, it is normal for him to flee to Jiangdong now."

"There is a veteran general Huang Gai from Jiangdong who has the same surname as Huang Zhong."

"Perhaps the two of them are close friends."

Sima De was speechless for a while when he heard this.

This old Huang Zhong is getting stronger and stronger, and his combat power is enough to rank among the top five in the world.

He is over seventy years old, his whole body is still strong, and his two arms can shoot a three-stone bow.

There are hundreds of steps that can cross Yang Zhi's way without saying anything.

With his superb sword, he can even fight Guan Yu.

If only Boss Cao knew that this man was a brave general.

This must be another step of heartache. I just think it is easier. So Sun Quan?
But having said that, what if Huang Zhong went to Jiangdong.

Then Xia Houyuan, the wronged person, will not die in Dingjun Mountain in the future?

Thinking of this, Sima De also subconsciously thought.

He looked towards Xia Houyuan who was riding behind him.

Who knows, Boss Cao said again at this time:

"But Sun Quan is indeed an ignorant boy."

"With a small profit, he actually went to attack Liu Bei?!"

"This son really has the spirit of caring for his father!"

I think back then, Sun Quan's father Sun Jian was also a fool.

In the past, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong, he was the only one who fought to the end, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. When the Kwantung Allied Forces disperse, Sun Jian will still have to fight Dong Zhuo.

Huang Zu was killed by a hidden arrow in Sun Wentai.

His son Sun Ce also inherited his father's style, and his temper was so explosive that he died early!
Now Sun Quan is also a virtuous person.

He, Cao Cao's pursuers, only issued two edicts.

This guy really went to sneak attack Liu Bei!

In short, he, Old Cao, saw Sun Quan and Liu Bei fighting fiercely in Jingnan.

My heart is also very happy!
Cheng Yu next to him also flattered:

"The Prime Minister's foresight and far-sightedness really make me admire my humble position."

"It is said that according to reports from the front, Zhou Yu led the Jiangdong Navy to attack Jiangxia."

"As a result, he was transferred to Changsha by Sun Quan without even firing an arrow."

"Now the two sides are fighting and both sides are losing."

"Sun Quan lost more than he gained. Not only did he fail to capture Changsha, he also insulted Liu Bei."

"Although Liu Bei captured Changsha, he lost his troops and generals."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to send troops to Guiyang in a short period of time!"

When Boss Cao heard this, he smiled and waved his hands and said:
"Hey! This all depends on Renda's plan!"

"If Renda hadn't seen people's hearts, this would have been a clever plan!"

"Now, how can I sit firmly on Mount Tai and watch tigers fight across the river?"

Sima De also came to his senses after hearing this and said quickly:
"Ming Gong knows that people are good at appointing people, so he ordered Jiang Ziyi to go to Jiangdong as an envoy."

"Sun Quan fell into the trap and went south, Jiangxia will not be able to hold it."

"How dare you take credit for your humble position without contributing any effort?"

Yes, it was the famous Jiang Qian who was sent as envoy to Jiangdong this time.

However, Sima De didn't expect it either.

This is a great smart man who has tricked Boss Cao so much in history.

Did he complete the task perfectly this time? !

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled and said:
"Hey! Sir, you are too modest!"

"Sir, he has been under my account since then, and he has made many clever plans and accomplished extraordinary feats!"

"In the battle of Jingzhou, sir, you should take the lead!"

"If we don't reward him generously, won't he be heartbroken by the talented people under his command?"

"I will return to Xudu today to discuss your merits and reward you. I will make you the Marquis of Xianxiang!"

"When you return home, you will surely shine on the lintel of your Sima family!"

Boss Cao was so happy that he waved his hand.

In the tone of an elder, he told Simade his decision.

Sima De was stunned when he heard this!
He knew how much Boss Cao would reward him when he returned.

But he didn't expect that Cao Cao would make him a marquis.

This is no ordinary reward! This is a title!

And this is still a wait!
The Han Dynasty inherited the system of the Qin Dynasty, and it was also the twenty-first rank.

Xianghou is a lieutenant, the highest level among ministers!
Only second to the higher-level county princes.

You know, back then, Boss Cao made Guan Yu the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty.

He is just a Tinghou, inferior to the Xianghou.

And this Xianxiang Hou that Boss Cao was talking about.

It means that the township where his Sima family is located should be given to him!
Although it is not as good as Wu Hou, who has a grandson of 100,000.

Enjoy the tax revenue from a county with a population of 10,000 households.

But after all, Sun Quan inherited his father Sun Jian's title.

It is a military exploit achieved by throwing one's head, spilling blood, and using real swords and guns.

He, Sima De, was a civil servant and could receive such a commendation.

It already belongs to the utmost grace!
However, he gave his hometown and his entire village to himself.

And the location of his Sima family is Wen County.

If I have the opportunity to be promoted to an official position again in the future.

If Sima De becomes the Marquis of the County, wouldn't he become the Marquis of Wen?
Damn it! Then this account is a bit unlucky!
At this time, Xun You was accompanying him.

I heard that Boss Cao wanted to confer such a high title on Sima De.

Suddenly he frowned and said:

"Prime Minister! Renda is still an official in the court, and his qualifications are still relatively young."

"If you are no longer old enough, you will be granted the title of Marquis of the Countryside."

"Is it a little premature?"
