Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 791 Wait, it's also a kind of tolerance

"Ziyu, what kind of temperament do you think our lord has?" Zhou Yu, who hadn't answered Zhuge Jin's question for a long time, turned his eyes to the distance again, with a strange and lonely tone.

Zhuge Jin didn't know what Zhou Yu meant, let alone why he suddenly switched the topic to Sun Quan.But out of his trust in Zhou Yu, he still answered straight away: "Although my lord is young, she is smart and benevolent. He is outstanding. Zhang Zibu has been teaching him for more than a month, and the lord already has the appearance of a generation of virtuous kings. In the future, Jiangdong will prosper, and it is the lord who must..."

But in the face of Zhuge Jin's words of praise, Zhou Yu shook his head silently, and said: "Ziyu, there are no outsiders in this room. How could I not know what you said? However, the matter is related to the rise and fall of the world. I want to hear your truth."

Zhuge Jin was silent for a moment, thinking that his ability to observe people was not good, so he declined: "I, I can't tell..."

Seeing that Zhuge Jin refused to tell the truth so far, Zhou Yu also smiled helplessly, and said on his own initiative: "Bo Fu once said to the lord at the end of his life, that the people in Jiangdong will decide between the two Chens and compete with the world. I'm not as good as me; appointing the virtuous and capable, each doing his best to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as you. However, I know that Bofu still has something to say, that is, our lord is lenient outside and taboo at home. But quite a city, especially because of killing!"

"I admit that in troubled times, only such vicious and ruthless people can gain a foothold. However, Bofu didn't know that the general situation in this world is no longer what it used to be. Back then, he refused to listen to my advice and took advantage of the Great War in the Central Plains. Entering Xuzhou, the Jiangdong Sun family has finally lost the good opportunity to fight for world hegemony. Now that this hero is in charge of Jiangdong, do you think he will agree to surrender to the Han Dynasty and restore peace to the world?"

"This?..." Zhuge Jin heard too many truthful words from Zhou Yu today, and was too shocked, especially at this time, the heartfelt words made Zhuge Jin feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, unable to say a word.

"What's more, as Bofu's brother-in-law, it is impossible for me to show an attitude of being actively committed to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, on the one hand, I advocated the War of Resistance and tried my best to save Jiangdong. On the other hand, I actually do not suppress you. What these leaning-Han sects are asking for is that you have a chance to persuade the lord to obey the destiny. But until now, I have discovered that the destiny cannot be violated, and the Han Dynasty will not stop the pace of unifying China. The lord is so obsessed , Mantis arm as a cart, can only ruin Jiangdong's foundation completely, and even leave a notoriety through the ages!"

Zhou Yu, who was facing out the window, turned around slowly at this time, and for a moment, Zhuge Jin saw that the governor of Jiangdong, who had not yet stood up, was so tired that he seemed unable to straighten up.I also understand that his exhaustion is not only caused by Cao Mengde's army from outside, but also the helplessness that knows the abyss ahead but is difficult to stop.

"So, you want to take advantage of the fact that the lord's paranoia has not yet been finalized and can be reversed, and use such poisonous words to persuade the lord to let go of his obsessions and return to the Han Dynasty?" He took out the pot, and understood that what Zhou Yu did just now was all a play.

But at this time Zhou Yu was looking at the copper pot leisurely, with extremely complicated expressions, and finally said lightly: "Ziyu, you'd better put down that copper pot, I was terrified by the lies just now. "

Zhuge Jin stared carefully at Zhou Yu's eyes, and it took a long time to seem to understand Zhou Yu's deep meaning. He hurriedly placed the copper pot on the table, and desperately scrubbed his hands in the copper basin several times.However, during this period, he still couldn't help asking: "Is the situation really at such a critical moment now? Although the frontline army suffered a crushing defeat, with you, Zhou Gongjin, in Jiangdong, no one believes that Cao Mengde can completely invade Jiangdong."

"Perhaps, I can stop Cao Jun on the great river for a year or so. However, what's the point? Besides Jiangdong and Cao Mengde, there is also the Han Dynasty, and that is the destination that the people want. What's more, even if Even now, we have lost a lot.”

Talking about the situation of the battle, Zhou Yu's expression not only became sad again, he pointed to the large animal skin map in the room and said: "Although I deliberately endured it, I will attack in one fell swoop when the rebel army gathers to quell, and put an end to the civil strife in Jiangdong. But if you think about it carefully Think, what did Cao Jun lose? They didn't lose anything, but our frontline army was completely defeated by Cao Jun. Besides..."

At this time, Zhou Yu's eyes fell on the four counties of Jingzhou. He was unwilling and disappointed and said: "Besides, it is really wrong for Bofu to capture the four counties of Jingzhou before his death. These four counties are under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. How can the four counties escape Cao Mengde's poisonous claws?"

"Gong Jin said that, what about Liu Bei in Yuzhou?..." Although Zhuge Jin is not a great military strategist, but Zhou Yu's words have come to this point, how can he not guess what Zhou Yu said?
"That's right, Cao Jun only needs to repeat the old tricks against me, Jiangdong, and I have no power to resist. You said that in such a situation, what else can we do besides surrendering to the Han Dynasty?"

Zhuge Jin was originally a person who loved Han, but his original intention of leaning Han was only for the common people, and his insights were far less profound than Zhou Yu.Hearing that Zhou Yu mentioned all these things, doubts arose: "But if we surrender to the Han Dynasty, can we keep Liu Bei from getting involved in the four counties of Jingzhou?"

"Of course!" This time, Zhou Yu's answer was extremely decisive: "If I go to Yuzhou personally, I will be able to persuade Liu Xuande to also completely surrender to the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei's rise depends on the Han Dynasty. .As long as I really want to vote for Han, then I only need to analyze the general situation of the world with Liu Xuande, and he will definitely not raise troops to attack me in Jiangdong, but will raise troops to attack Cao Mengde!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhuge Jin couldn't help feeling very familiar.Suddenly, he remembered that he had already heard Liu Xuande's conclusion in his second brother's thatched hut—the same was true of the two people he admired in his heart. See similar.

"Since that's the case, is there anything Gong Jin needs my cooperation?" Zhuge Jin is not a fool, of course he knows that Zhou Yu is so confiding to him this time because he wants him to help him in persuading the lord.

"Naturally, I need to trouble Ziyu and the others with all of this." Finally, after Zhuge Jin said this, Zhou Yu smiled in relief, bowed and said: "When the military meeting is held tomorrow, what I need, It's you and those good relatives who will play a show in front of the lord..."

Zhou Yu spoke out the plan in his heart, and when he ran out of words, the sunset in the sky finally completely sank down the mountain.The dark night finally brought a trace of tranquility to the devastated Jiangdong.

Also enjoying the tranquility, naturally there is Liu Xie from Yuzhou.However, compared to Zhou Yu and Zhuge Jin's heaviness, Liu Xie's mood here is in deep pain and a little relaxed.

When Zhao Yun finished reading the battle report of Hongze Lake, Liu Xie just sighed leisurely, looking at the stars that had just risen in the sky, wondering whether those Jiangdong heroic souls had merged into stars.

"Your Majesty, the war in Jiangdong has already been seen, and the soldiers and horses here in Liu Yuzhou are ready. At this time, should we send troops to end this troubled world?" At this moment, Zhao Yun also agreed with Liu Xie Generally, he was sympathetic, but compared to Liu Xie's silence, he was more lamented.

"General Zilong, don't be impatient. Your Majesty seems to be lying still, but I'm afraid that the deployment has already been done in the dark." Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Xie who was lazily lying on the bamboo chair, and couldn't help but sing with Zhao Yun. A double spring.

"Almost." Liu Xie was also unaffected by Zhuge Liang's provocation, but admitted brazenly: "I did write a secret letter and entrusted Jin Yiwei to hand it over to Chang'an. Presumably within three or four days, the imperial edict will be issued. Guanzhong and All the soldiers and horses in Jizhou will also be dispatched on the day when the edict is issued. And the Emperor Uncle of Yuzhou deserves to be the vanguard in the fight against Cao."

Until three days ago, when Liu Xie said those words in the lobby of the General's Mansion, Zhao Yun understood how handy Liu Xie played politics: Liu Bei had already received a secret letter from Cao Cao, plotting to attack Jiangdong together.But the emperor didn't move when he learned about this matter. It wasn't until the major events on the Jiangdong front line first saw clues that he suddenly killed Liu Bei by surprise.In one fell swoop, the turmoil was snuffed out in the bud, and it was successfully transformed into a boost to the great cause of reunification.

What's even better is that Liu Bei's army preparation here will not arouse Cao Mengde's suspicion at all.Only when the army in Yuzhou, which was supposed to be an ally of Cao Jun, suddenly turned around and became an enemy of Cao Jun, Cao Cao would probably wake up.

This move gave Zhao Yun a lot of confidence in Liu Xie's great cause of unification.Therefore, although Liu Xie's tone seemed light and joking at this time, Zhao Yun also believed it, and instead asked further: "These days, I will wait like this?"

"Of course it is waiting." At this moment, Liu Xie's tone became more serious: "Wait is a strategy and a kind of tolerance. The time I gave Jiangdong is only three or four days. If I haven't listened by then The good news is that the troop seeking Cao will probably have to prepare more warships..."
