The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354 Provoking Sun Quan
"The lord wants to attack Sun Quan, Yu Yuan will do his best to help, but please don't say that, my lord."

After a slight silence, Zhou Yu just cupped his hands towards Wei Tao and said.

"As my lord said, at this time, it is not impossible to attack Sun Quan to destroy him. Although our army and navy have succeeded several times, they have not achieved much. They occupy the Yangtze River natural moat. Sun Quan will certainly despise our army, and it is possible to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy it."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, knowing that Zhou Yu did not want to overstep his authority so as not to provoke criticism.

And Wei Tao also knew that it would not be a good thing for Zhou Yu if he granted all the general powers at will, so he just stopped for a while and skipped it.

Now that Wei Tao has already made a decision, then Wei Tao's subordinates naturally have actions.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were all alarmed by the continuous deployment of troops, and the movement of various armies shocked them even more.

Especially generals such as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang came from the north. Everyone can understand that a big battle is inevitable.

This kind of action cannot be hidden from anyone, and Wei Tao has no intention of being able to hide it from anyone. Following Wei Tao's order, someone naturally ordered the princes.

The general meaning is nothing more than: Jingzhou is the Jingzhou of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, is now in charge of Jingzhou, and Jiangxia is a part of Jingzhou, which was managed by Sun Quan before. If Sun Quan is willing to return Jingzhou, then naturally It's all right, if not, then Wei Tao will be a soldier to fight for it, and wipe out the disobedient ones for the sake of the big man.

Everyone can understand that such a statement is nothing more than an excuse, and it is impossible for Sun Quan to hand over Jiang Xia to Wei Tao easily.

Sun Quan directly denounced this call-to-action as a false order, stating that he is the Lord of Jiangxia, and he was sealed by the emperor.

In fact, whether it is Wei Tao or Sun Quan, this statement makes sense.

The 400 years of the Great Han Dynasty can be said to have come to an end. Today's emperor is just a decoration. No one takes it seriously.

The emperor Liu Xie said it was a wooing or helplessness, but he directly agreed to such a request, so it is not surprising that such a situation occurs.

Of course, Wei Tao didn't have the idea of ​​taking Jiang Xia down so easily. On the one hand, he ordered Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to defend themselves, and on the other hand, he personally led the army to approach Jiang Xia.

Faced with such a forced situation from Wei Tao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei naturally also took corresponding actions, and the soldiers under their command also followed suit.

It's just that actions are actions, but they are still big soldiers Chen Fancheng and the police, and they don't have the slightest tendency to immediately raise troops against Wei Tao.

Obviously, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they are waiting for Wei Tao to fight Sun Quan. At that time, no matter whether Wei Tao wins or loses, he will be injured, which is exactly what they mean.

If Wei Tao and Sun Quan were in a stalemate, that would be even better. When the two of them couldn't draw their hands, Cao Cao and Liu Bei could plunder Wei Tao's territory in the rear to strengthen their own strength.

In this way, naturally, there is no need to think that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will work hard to mobilize troops for Sun Quan, and they will never intervene until the critical moment.

Since there was a sense of stability in the rear, Wei Tao also went directly to Jiangxia's city without any surprise.

It's just that Sun Quan was already ready at this time, even if Wei Tao came to kill him, Jiangxia City would not be shaken in the slightest.

Looking up, I saw a man with blue eyes and yellow beard leading a group of Jiangdong generals and counselors looking down on the high city.

Although the two sides did not meet face to face, Wei Tao was still told the man's identity by such an obvious feature.

"You are Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou?"

Wei Tao was not polite either, he raised his halberd and pointed at him directly.

"I'm Wei Tao, and I'm sure you know that in the past, I had some kind of friendship with your father Sun Jian when we fought against Dong Zhuo. I also fought against your elder brother Sun Ce once, and the martial arts of both sides can be evenly divided. Both Sun Jian and Sun Ce I am very convinced of the heroic generation. I don’t want to spend too much money on you. If you are willing to surrender, then I can guarantee that the Sun family will still be a duke and lord in the future, and the glory and wealth will continue. Otherwise, it will be too late when our army enters and breaks the city!"

What Wei Tao said was true, but Sun Quan's ears were extremely harsh. This clearly meant that Sun Quan did not have the bravery of Sun Jian and Sun Ce!

In this case, in fact, Sun Quan himself has heard a lot, but Sun Quan has always been indifferent to these gossips.

In other words, for Sun Quan, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he couldn't show it on the surface.

However, as Sun Quan's status stabilized, such words gradually disappeared. After all, Sun Quan's actions can also be regarded as the demeanor of a wise master.

Even the clay figurines are still somewhat fiery, not to mention Sun Quan, he is also a prince after all, and he was already furious when he heard Wei Tao's words.

"General Wei is easy to talk about! That's right! I also heard my father and brother mention the style of the general in the past, and I admire it in my heart! But what the general is doing now is not the action of a minister! Jiangxia is my land in the east of the Yangtze River. So, the general is a minister, how could he get here without authorization and disturb him like this?"

It has to be said that Sun Quan is Sun Quan after all. When I said this, the morale was low, but then it was slightly shocked, and the soldiers under his command also felt the same hatred against the enemy.

"Hahahaha...you should be like Sun Zhongmou when you have a child! Cao Mengde's words are right! Zhongmou, you are really capable!"

But hearing what Sun Quan said, Wei Tao burst out laughing.

Having a child should be like Sun Zhongmou, Cao Cao also said this in this time and space, even though he was defeated in Jiangdong, Cao Cao was still able to say this.

This is a compliment to Sun Quan. If he was incompetent, how could Cao Cao say such things.

But this is even more Sun Quan's contempt. Even though he defeated Cao Cao, in Cao Cao's view, his talent is nothing more than being able to be his nephew. Compared with Sun Jian and Sun Ce, Sun Quan is still far behind!
In terms of age, Wei Tao was not much older than Sun Quan, and now he dared to make such a statement, which made Sun Quan even more angry.

Isn't this treating his Sun Quan as a son and grandson, how can Sun Quan bear it?
"Hmph! Wei Tao! You are too arrogant!"

At this time, Sun Quan couldn't care much about it, and there was no respect in his words, and he directly called Wei Tao's name, expressing that the two sides had completely torn skins.

"Arrogance? That's not necessarily the case."

Wei Tao smiled coldly. In fact, although Wei Tao is not qualified to say that in terms of age, but in terms of the record of both sides, Wei Tao can say that casually.

"Sun Zhongmou, it's not that I look down on you. If you are really capable, then come out of the city and fight with me. Of course, I also know that you are not as brave as Sun Ce, so how about letting your soldiers fight? I'm here. You Jiangdong can fight." Someone is calling!"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Sun Quan really couldn't accept it. Although Sun Quan was indeed not incapable, in fact, Sun Quan's martial arts could barely be considered top-notch.

But don't say that Sun Quan is inferior to Wei Tao, how can he still fight with others as Sun Quan?

In fact, Sun Quan did not have much personal experience in battle.

Nowadays, the princes of all walks of life in the world, Wei Tao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei can really be said to be the masters of creation, and they have created their own foundations.

Only Sun Quan is different. He inherited the legacy of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, especially the legacy of Sun Ce, so he is firmly seated in Jiangdong.

As a result, compared with other people, Sun Quan lacked the vigor to give up.

Now that he encountered such a challenge as Wei Tao, he immediately seemed weak.

But Sun Quan himself was indeed incapable of fighting, but Sun Quan's subordinates couldn't bear this insult. After hearing Wei Tao's words, a veteran immediately stepped forward to pay homage.

"My lord, please allow me to go out of the city to fight! If I can't win, you can behead me!"

The person who spoke was none other than Huang Gai!
After hearing Huang Gai's words, two people stood up again, and they all bowed to Sun Quan.

"My lord, please allow me to go out and avenge my shame. If I lose, you can behead me!"

These two are none other than Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang, these three people are not ordinary people in Jiangdong. They have followed Sun Jian since the time of Sun Jian in the South and North Wars. Almost all the wars in the Jiangdong Foundation are indispensable to these few people. credit.

Faced with the request of these three people, even if Sun Quan was indeed the Lord of Jiangdong, he couldn't refuse too forcefully. After a little hesitation, he finally nodded.

"Wei Tao is famous for his bravery, but there are three old generals who fight in person. I don't think even Wei Tao can be invincible, but I still invite the three old generals to be cautious. If we are taken advantage of by Wei Tao's villain."

"My lord, don't worry, I'll wait forever!"

It was fine if Sun Quan didn't say it, but Huang Gai and the others were immediately motivated by what he said, and they all said it loudly.

Although Sun Quan felt that something was wrong, but thinking about the martial arts of the three of them, he immediately stopped talking.

"Da da da……"

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Huang Gai and others led the army out.

As for the three of Huang Gai, Wei Tao had fought against them when he was locked up in Hulao in the past, but now he just saw them, so he couldn't help smiling.

"It turned out to be Huang Gongfu, Cheng Demou, and Han Yigong. The three of you and I worked hand in hand when we were begging Dong Zhuo in the past. I didn't expect that one day we would fight to the death. Based on our friendship in the past, we It will be to keep your corpses so that Sun Quan can collect them for you."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, the three of Huang Gai were all furious, and Qi Qi shouted loudly at this!

"Wei Tao! How dare you be so arrogant! We will surely take your head!"

As soon as the words fell, the speed of the three people was even faster, and they came straight to Wei Tao!
