Chapter 210: Sun Quan, you'd better not seek death (second update)

~9 min read 1,659 words

The second update arrived. I was confused while typing, so it was 10 minutes late!

Urgently asking for monthly tickets, it's the last day, please help me get Chen Hang up! ! !

Next update, before 12 o'clock.

Chen Hang was on a mission to Jiangdong, and Zhuge Liang was also busy trying to win over Liu Bei's allies.

After fleeing to Jiangxia with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang suggested to Liu Bei that he should unite with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao.

By coincidence, Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao's army had arrived in Xiangyang and that Liu Cong had surrendered. He also marched at night to capture Jiangling. Most of Jingzhou was completely in Cao Cao's hands.

Moreover, after integrating Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, Cao Cao's army was close to one million.

After hearing the news, Sun Quan was also very nervous. He immediately sent Lu Su to cross the river to Jiangxia to win over Liu Bei in the name of Liu Biao's new death and coming to mourn.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and the next step was to discuss in order to fight for their respective interests.

Just as Chen Hang set off by boat, Lu Su also accompanied Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan to Jiangdong.

……

Chen Hang and his party took a boat to Chaisang County in Jiangdong and were stopped by patrolling guards on the river.

When Zhao Yan revealed his identity, these soldiers immediately did not dare to neglect and sent someone to report.

Not long after, officials from Jiangdong came to greet them, treating Chen Hang and others as honored guests.

The power of Cao Cao's millions of troops was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

With almost no obstacles, Zhao Yan met Sun Quan, explained his purpose of coming, and presented Sun Quan with the message written by Cao Cao.

Sun Quan said that he needed to think about it for a day, and then arranged for Zhao Yan and his party to live in the post house.

In fact, Sun Quan was waiting for Lu Su to bring back the news.

Having been the lord of Jiangdong for such a long time, Sun Quan is not stupid. Cao Cao said nicely that they would rule Jingzhou together, but Sun Quan didn't believe it at all.I'm afraid as long as Liu Bei is killed, Cao Cao's next target will be him.

Sun Quan waited anxiously, and finally Lu Su arrived when it was dark.

Lu Su took Liu Beifang's representative "Zhuge Liang" back to Jiangdong. He first settled Zhuge Liang and said it was getting late and they would discuss it tomorrow. Then he rushed to see Sun Quan without stopping.

Seeing Lu Su, Sun Quan asked: "When Zijing went to Jiangxia, did he find out the truth? Did Cao Cao really have a million-strong army?"

Lu Su nodded; "Although there are exaggerations, they are not far off."

Sun Quan's face suddenly became ugly.

His total number of troops is less than 100,000. How can he fight against Cao Cao's army of one million?

With such a disparity in military strength, he could not resist Cao Cao at all. In order to survive, he probably had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao, but Sun Quan was unwilling to admit defeat like this.

After thinking about it, Sun Quan handed Cao Cao's message to Lu Su: "Zijing, take a look. This is Cao Cao's message. What should I do?"

Lu Su took it and took a look and saw the following content:

"I have inherited the emperor's order in isolation, and I have used my word to attack the crime. I am pointing to the south of Yanhui, and Liu Cong is restrained; the people of Jingxiang are waiting for the wind and surrendering. Today, there are millions of powerful soldiers, and there are thousands of generals. I want to join the general in Jiangxia, attack Liu Bei together, share the land, and form an alliance forever. Fortunately, don't wait and see, I will give you a reply soon."

After reading it, Lu Su asked: "I don't know, my lord, what do you think of me?"

Sun Quan originally wanted to say that if Cao Cao really had such strength, he could only listen to Cao Cao.

But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his words: "The decision has not been made yet."

A scribe next to him suddenly interjected: "Cao Cao has millions of people and uses the name of the emperor to conquer all directions. His righteousness is justified. The only thing that my lord can resist against Cao Cao is the natural danger of the Yangtze River. But now that Cao Cao has captured Jingzhou, the danger of the Yangtze River has been lost and he is invincible!"

"My lord, this is a foolish plan, it is better to accept surrender, which is the best way to ensure peace of mind!"

After the scribe finished what he said, all the counselors agreed: "Zibu's words are in line with God's will."

"Yes, my lord, Cao Cao is invincible."

When Sun Quan heard these counselors urging him to surrender, his face was calm, but his heart was very angry.

These people only think about themselves and are selfish. They have taken refuge with Cao Cao anyway. As celebrities, Cao Cao still needs them to treat Jiangdong.

But Sun Quan is different. Sun Quan's identity is sensitive. If he surrenders to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely be on guard against him., dare not use him, and might even kill him for it.

Although Sun Quan was angry and dissatisfied with these people, he did not dare to show it.

There are many aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and their influence is deep-rooted and their relationships are complicated. Although Sun Quan appears to be the master of Jiangdong, in fact, Sun Quan's control over Jiangdong is not that great.

Even if these aristocratic families unite together, they can overthrow him.

Holding back his anger, Sun Quan said calmly: "I already know what you all said, please let me think about it."

However, Zhang Zhao was afraidthat Sun Quan would do something "foolish" and pressed him: "My lord, don't be suspicious. If you surrender to Cao Cao, the people of Dongwu will be safe and the six counties in Jiangnan will be safe."

Zhang Zhao's nickname is Zibu, a counselor under Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's face turned livid with anger, he snorted coldly, stood up and left the lobby.

When everyone saw that Sun Quan was really angry and feared that Sun Quan would be driven into a hurry, they stopped talking and retreated one after another.

But no one knew that before Sun Quan left, he glanced at Lu Su.

Lu Su understood, and after everyone had left, he went to meet Sun Quan alone.

Seeing Lu Su following him wisely, and no one else disturbing him at the moment, Sun Quan sighed and asked, "Zijing, what do you think?"

"A bunch of selfish people!" Lu Su said in shock: "What everyone said just now is actually a serious misunderstanding of the general. Everyone can surrender to Cao Cao, but the general cannot surrender to Cao Cao."

Sun Quan himself knew this, and sighed: "These people are so disappointing, but Zijing is the only one who sees the same thing as me. Heaven has given me Zijing! But Cao Cao has newly gained Yuan Shao's people, and has recently won the troops of Jingzhou. His power is huge, and his soldiers are numerous. The six counties of Soochow may be difficult to resist."

This problem is indeed difficult to solve.

Lu Su suddenly said: "My lord, there is another person coming with me. He is Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Kongming, who is also the younger brother of Zhuge Jin. My lord, why don't you meet him tomorrow and hear what he has to say?"

"Is this Mr. Wolong who defeated Xiahou Dun with a fire?"

Lu Su nodded: "That's exactly the person."

Sun Quan thought for a while and said,"Okay, I will discuss matters in the hall tomorrow and meet this person."

The next day.

Lu Su went to pick up Zhuge Liang early in the morning and took Zhuge Liang to see Sun Quan.

Next, Zhuge Liang will use his sharp tongue to convince everyone in Jiangdong that if history does not change, then the Sun-Liu Alliance will be achieved!

……

Zhao Yan waited in the post house all morning, but did not see Sun Quan's reply, let alone Sun Quan's summons, which made him a little anxious.

And Chen Hang's face also darkened!

If what he expected was true, Zhuge Liang should have arrived at Chaisang County at this time.

Because of his appearance, Cao Cao killed Liu Bei and stripped him of his armor, and even Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were captured alive.

I originally thought that Sun Quan would change his mind after Liu Bei lost so miserably, but he didn't expect that the ambitions of these heroes would be so difficult to change.

Maybe now, Zhuge Liang is persuading Sun Quan.

no!

Zhuge Liang must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise the mission of destroying the Sun-Liu alliance will fail.

This is the main task. If you fail, all rewards will be deducted.

Chen Hang didn't want to wait, so he stood up immediately with a sullen face.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid the situation has changed. Please come with me to see Sun Quan!"

Zhao Yan frowned and said, "General Sun has not summoned us, so we just go like this. Wouldn't it be too rude?"

What a shame!

If Sun Quan dares to make an alliance with Liu Bei, I will kill him.

Chen Hang was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he took Zhao Yan and left, going directly to see Sun Quan...
