Yuzhang, Wuhou Mansion.
In Sun Quan's study, four important officials from Jiangdong, including Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, arrived one after another.
"My lord, you have called us here, but I don't know why?" Zhang Zhao was a little surprised. Sun Quan would usually ask him when he was in doubt about domestic affairs, but he would ask Zhou Yu when he was in doubt about foreign affairs. Having several of them come at the same time is rare unless something big is going to happen.
But now, Liu Cong, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are fighting in full swing, and Jiangdong is developing steadily. Watching the fire from the other side, there is nothing major.
Others also had the same idea, especially Zhou Yu and Lu Su, who came back from Wujun and Jianye.
They originally planned to take advantage of the Great War in the Central Plains to send troops to attack Guangling and Wancheng, but Zhang Liao, Wenpin, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye and others were already prepared and had no good chance.
"I have called you here to meet someone!"
"Meet a person?" Everyone was even more confused, who is this person? You want them to come see you at the same time?
"Let Mr. Zhongda come in!" Sun Quan said to a soldier.
"No!"
After a while, the soldier brought in a young scribe.
"I have met you, Marquis Wu." The young scribe bowed his hands to everyone, "I am Sima Yi, the envoy of the King of Wei!"
"Sima Yi? King Wei's envoy?" Everyone looked at Sima Yi, the expressions on their faces were not so friendly. Jiangdong and Cao Cao have always been at odds with each other. Why did Cao Cao send an envoy?
"Zhongda, Zibu, Yuantan, Gongjin, and Zijing are all my important ministers. If you have anything to say, please tell me!" Sun Quan said to Sima Yi.
"Everyone, my lord wants to form an alliance with Jiangdong!"
"Ha" Zhang Zhao burst into laughter after listening to Sima Yi's words, "There was a fierce battle in Chibi in the front, and there were battles in Wujun and Hefei in the back. We in Jiangdong and Cao Cao have deep hatred as deep as the sea, but today we are here to talk about an alliance. Isn't it right? Is this the biggest scandal in the world? Our southern princes have formed an alliance, and Cao Cao has lost Yuzhou and Sili one after another. I am afraid that you are frightened by the Han army, so come to Jiangdong for help!"
"My lord, Cao Cao's desire to destroy me has never died. Forming an alliance with him is like seeking the skin of a tiger!" Zhou Yu also said sternly, "Cao Cao must have evil intentions in this move!"
"Zibu and Gongjin, please don't be impatient. Let Zhongda finish what he said." Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were filled with indignation, but Sun Quan seemed very calm. In fact, Sima Yi had already met Sun Quan. "Mr. Zhongda, please continue."
"Zibu Gongjin is right. Our two families have indeed fought many wars, and each has its own victory or defeat. However, this is not a personal feud, but for our respective hegemony. But now the form is different, and the general trend of the world has also changed. It¡¯s changing with it!¡±
"What's the difference?" Zhang Zhao asked.
"After the southern princes formed an alliance, their strength has indeed improved a lot, and can even compete with the King of Wei. The battle of Nanyang, the battle of Luoyang, the battle of Yuzhou, and the battle of Chang'an. It can be said that we were retreating steadily, but have you discovered a problem? ?¡±
"what is the problem?"
"After these victories, what did Jiangdong get? What did Yizhou get? What did Liu Bei get in Hanzhong?"
"this¡¡"
Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong looked at each other with melancholy expressions on their faces. Lu Su frowned, and Zhou Yu had anger in his eyes.
"When the four of you formed an alliance, Jiangdong was the strongest. But what about now? Liu Cong already owns Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, and Yongzhou, and is attacking Liangzhou! His strength has far exceeded Jiangdong. But will Liu Cong be satisfied? No Hui, when you captured Jiaozhou, Liu Cong was not idle either. He conquered Wuxi and seized Cangwu! Although this man is a prince, he is very knowledgeable in business and can seize opportunities and obtain the greatest benefits. To form an alliance with him is to truly seek the skin of a tiger."
After Sima Yi finished speaking, the entire study was silent.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su have the deepest understanding of Liu Cong. This person has risen too fast and can seize any fleeting opportunity to strengthen himself. Although now compared with Cao Cao, his strength is still very weak. But if this continues, sooner or later it will become Jiangdong's biggest threat.
"My lord is willing to cede Wancheng, Lujiang and Guangling to Jiangdong. We will retreat to Hefei, Shouchun and Xiapi. The two families will form an alliance. Please send troops to attack Jingzhou immediately!"
"Lord, Jingzhou is very empty at this time. Feiyu Camp in Nanjun has also been quietly transferred to Chang'an, and the state pastoral office is preparing to move to Luoyang. People's hearts are unstable. This is the best time for us to send troops to capture Jingzhou!" Zhou Yu's eyes were burning! , even if Sima Yi didn't say it, he already had this idea, but he just didn't know how to convince Sun Quan.
"But if we send out troops, wouldn't we let the host?Carrying the name of betraying the alliance? "Zhang Zhao still has some concerns.
"Zibu is an important minister in Jiangdong, how can he be so ignorant?" Sima Yi's tone was full of disdain.
"I would like to hear Zhongda's advice!" Zhang Zhao said coldly.
Sima Yi was only in his twenties, but he spoke to him in such a tone. How could Zhang Zhao not be angry?
"Among the four princes in the south, Liu Bei only has one county, but he dares to compete with Liu Cong. Why? Because he has seen that the biggest threat is not my lord, but Liu Cong. No matter how strong my lord is, he will always be far away. In the north, and Liu Cong is a close neighbor, he will arrive soon! What is Liu Cong doing now? He is fighting Liu Bei in Chang'an. Isn't this a betrayal of the covenant? You have agreed that if anyone betrays the covenant, you will work together to attack him! Isn't it possible? Is this the reason for sending troops?"
"My lord, what Zhongda said makes sense!" Zhang Zhao suddenly realized that he didn't care about Sima Yi's disrespectful tone towards him just now, "I will write a letter of repentance now, enumerate Liu Cong's crimes, and send troops to attack him. In this way, my name is justified! "
"We must write a petition against rebellion, but we can't send it out at this time!" Sima Yi smiled gloomily, "It's not too late to wait until Jingzhou is captured before sending it out!"
"Yes! Yes! What Zhongda said makes sense!"
Sun Quan was very excited, as if he had seen him take Jingzhou, but his face was still uncertain.
"My lord, are you worried about Wu Guotai, Qiao Guolao and others?" Gu Yong guessed the reason for Sun Quan's hesitation.
"My mother loves her little sister very much and regards her as the apple of her eye"
"Ha" Sima Yi laughed a few times, "Wu Hou, this is easy!"
"Zhongda has an idea, please tell me quickly!"
"My lord once said that Liu Cong's literary talents are unparalleled in the world. If Liu Cong can be captured, he will not kill him, and will marry his daughter to him and let him compose poems. Wu Hou can imitate my lord and After Liu Cong captured him, he did not kill him, but let him recite poems and compose poems. Wouldn't it be a beautiful story to make him a couple of gods and immortals with his little sister?"
"Ha Okay, okay!" Sun Quan was very happy as the clouds on his face cleared at this time, "Yuantan, Zibu, you discuss the alliance with Zhongda, Zijing, Gongjin, you two are ready to send troops. matter!"
