Chapter 913: Zhou Yu counterattacked Wen Hui
Sun Ce was very embarrassed, and he found that he had made a big mistake. Zhou Yu was not by his side, but went to check the military situation.
Now Cao Cao's envoy is so sarcastic about him, but Sun Ce can't break out. After so many years of growth, Sun Ce's temper is no longer what it used to be. The reckless and irascible personality in the past was slowly smoothed out, and Sun Ce was much more mature than before.
This was all forced out by Liu Yu, and Liu Yu's army in Jingzhou was like a sharp blade, hanging over Sun Ce's head, which made him frightened all the time.
Sun Ce now needed Cao Cao to give him and Jiangdong the forces to contain Liu Yu, and Cao Cao's presence was very important to him. Now that Cao Cao has come to ask for help, if he doesn't help him, as Wen Hui said, his life will be short!
To put it bluntly, Sun Ce wanted to help Cao Cao, but the situation in Jiangdong was a little different. In order to resist Liu Yu, Sun Ce almost took out all the resources and troops he could use. All that remained was the local garrison and the troops to guard against the barbarians, and Sun Ce did not dare to move these two troops. Jiangdong's internal troubles are the clans in Jiangdong, Sun Ce knows that these people are dishonest, don't look at the well-behaved and sensible now, they obey many orders to Sun Ce, as long as something is wrong on Sun Ce's side, these clans will immediately take action. The external danger is the barbarians in Jiangdong, which has been a problem in Jiangdong since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has not been solved. These barbarians lived deep in the mountains, and when they were docile, they would bring mountain goods out to trade with the Han people in exchange for necessities. However, as soon as there was any disturbance or famine, these barbarians would attack the villages and cities of the Han people, bringing a lot of trouble to Jiangdong. If Sun Ce doesn't guard against the barbarians, he will be turned into a climate by the barbarians, and he will be in trouble in the future.
Jiangdong seems to be stable now, but in fact, there are internal and external troubles, even if Sun Ce is strong-willed, he will inevitably need to think about it.
Sun Ce also has a lot of strategists around him now, but they don't dare to make decisions for Sun Ce casually, after all, it is now about the alliance between Jiangdong and Cao Cao, and they are worried that if they miss a little, it will lead to a crisis in Jiangdong, which is not something they can bear. In case something unspeakable happens, it will be easy for them to apologize for their sins with death, Jiangdong will change a master, and the future will be unpredictable.
Just when Sun Ce was in a hurry, Zhou Yu rushed back in time.
As soon as he saw Zhou Yu come back, Wen Hui knew that Cao Cao's request for help was stable. Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's right-hand man, and he is also the existence with the highest eyesight in Jiangdong, and with his level, he will naturally see the importance of Cao Cao's existence.
"My lord, I'm back." In front of outsiders, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce still maintain the title of master and slave.
"See the Governor." All the civil and military forces under Sun Ce saluted Zhou Yu.
With such a battle, it is known that Zhou Yu's power and status here are second only to Sun Ce.
As soon as Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu coming back, he immediately said happily: "Gongjin, you came back at the right time." Come on, sit down, come on, someone, serve tea! ”
Zhou Yu respectfully saluted Sun Ce, and then sat down at the position of Sun Ce's head, and then saw Wen Hui, a person with a fresh face, so he asked: "Lord, when I returned, I heard that Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent an envoy over, I don't know who this envoy is?" ”
Wen Hui smiled secretly, I am not the only one in the whole hall who is not Jiangdong, aren't you pretending to be stupid.
Wen Hui still came out respectfully and said, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng's lord Bo Wenhui Wen Manji has seen the governor. ”
"Seen? Lord Wen, the Pontus Governor has never seen you. It's a bit too much to say. Zhou Yu's face was not very good.
Wen Hui's face stiffened, how could Zhou Yu pick a bone in the egg this time, what he said just now sounded a bit of a speech problem, but the big guys said so, but they had never met someone like Zhou Yu to refute it.
"In the prime minister's place, I have long heard of the prestige of the governor, but now when I see it, I am excited for a while, and I am a little incoherent. Please forgive me. Wen Hui instantly understood why, Zhou Yu must have known that he had brushed Sun Ce just now, so he, as a brother and subordinate, wanted to find a place for Sun Ce. Sun Ce has no face, which means that the entire Jiangdong has no face.
Of course, Zhou Yu wanted to get Sun Ce back, and the Sven guy in front of him actually said that Sun Ce's life would not be long, and the entire Jiangdong was dissatisfied when he heard this. If it weren't for Wen Hui's name as Cao Cao's envoy, and Sun Ce's reluctance to fall out with Cao Cao, I'm afraid Wen Hui's head would be on the way to Yuzhou now.
Zhou Yu's qi is very large, but when it comes to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu has become very stingy. He didn't want to let Wen Hui go like this.
Zhou Yu winked at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce knew what Zhou Yu was going to do.
This kind of small action made everyone see it. The people on Jiangdong's side all felt that Wen Hui was going to be in trouble later, and the governor would definitely have to play a good trick on him. Wen Hui's heart jumped, what does Zhou Yu want to do this time? He's really scratching his head.
"The name of the Governor of Pontus has been heard even by a three-year-old child in Koto. I didn't expect that there was such a situation in Yuzhou. Before, the Governor of Pontus didn't believe this, but he didn't expect Lord Wen to explain his doubts to the Governor of Pontus today. The Governor of Pontus is grateful. Zhou Yu said with a smile.
The meaning of these words is very clear, the three-year-old children in Jiangdong know Zhou Yu, and there is also such a situation in Yuzhou, so it is to use the three-year-old child to satirize Wen Hui.
Wen Hui's resourcefulness is not low, he is a little embarrassed, thinking that Zhou Yu's mouth is really powerful.
The awesome is yet to come! Zhou Yu's eloquence is also very good in Dahan, and Wen Hui is in big trouble.
But this is Wen Hui's own fault.
Before Wen Hui could speak, Zhou Yu said, "Lord Wen doesn't have to be presumptuous. The Governor of Pontus had also heard of Lord Wen's name. The Governor of Pontus is beyond the reach of Lord Wen. ”
The Governor joked. What a reputation there is down there? Wen Hui felt that Zhou Yu wanted to end the topic, so he also thought about moving the topic to business now.
But if Zhou Yu ends like this, he won't be Zhou Yu. I saw Zhou Yu say softly: "I heard that Lord Wen is from Taiyuan?" ”
"The governor is wise, and he can even know the origin of his subordinates." Wen Hui felt a little bad in his heart, and at the same time, it was clear from this point that Jiangdong's side had investigated Cao Cao's civil and military affairs. Wen Hui must go back to report to Cao Cao and let Cao Cao pay attention to it, maybe Cao Cao has Jiangdong's spies under his command.
Zhou Yu continued: "Master Wen was born in Bingzhou, and Bingzhou was the base for Liu Yu's rise before. Why didn't Lord Wen serve under Liu Yu? If Lord Wen had served Liu Yu before, I'm afraid he would have been a big member of the party by now. ”
Wen Hui saw Zhou Yu talking about this, and said righteously: "Governor Zhou, I came here as an envoy on the order of Prime Minister Cao, but I didn't come to answer your question." ”
"Lord Wen is really upright. is such a righteous spirit, Lord Wen must have discovered Liu Yu's dark side very early, so he didn't work for Liu Yu. Zhou Yu helped Wen Hui explain.
Wen Hui looked entangled, what is this guy going to do, he has been talking useless nonsense, don't you know that time is precious? And Jiangdong is looking like he is watching a good show, could it be that he satirized Sun Ce just now, and they have to take it back with interest?
This is really the case, Jiangdong really wants to see Zhou Yu count Wen Hui fiercely, so that their hearts can be more comfortable. As for the urgency of time, Jiangdong is not in much danger now, Liu Yu will not be able to fight for a while, what should be worried is Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao now has to face Liu Yu's attack on three sides.
Zhou Yu said again: "Lord Wen found out that Liu Yu was wrong, and immediately escaped from the demon cave of Bingzhou, and joined Yuan Benchu to serve Yuan Benchu. Yuan Benchu was incompetent. Lord Wen is so talented and beautiful in front of him, he actually didn't reuse it, it can be seen that he doesn't know anyone. This was also Yuan Benchu's last defeat at the hands of Liu Yu. At this time, Lord Wen once again saw Yuan Benchu's inferiority, and immediately went to Yanzhou at the most dangerous time and came under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng. Lord Wen's pursuit of good fortune and avoiding evil is really beyond the reach of the Governor of Pontus. ”
Wen Hui's face turned red with anger, this Zhou Yu took him as a joke! What is called seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, it is called good birds choosing trees and perching on them. But judging from the tone of Zhou Yu's speech, that is, Wen Hui betrayed his previous master for his own safety, which is the most disgusting thing for courtiers in this era, if everyone else says so, Wen Hui's reputation is over.
"Governor Zhou, let's get down to business." Wen Hui really wanted to change the subject, he knew his mistake.
It's just that Zhou Yu still kept letting him go, his face straightened, and said: "What Lord Wen said is that we wasted a lot of time before, and we really need to get down to business." But there's a little proposal below. Prime Minister Cao Cheng's current situation is very dangerous, if Lord Wen comes to avoid evil like before, please go to other places. My Jiangdong is a small place, but I can't accommodate the great god of Lord Wen. ”
When Jiangdong heard Zhou Yu's words, he was immediately happy, thinking that he was still a great governor, and with a few words, Wen Hui, who had just been sharp-tongued, was speechless.
The two rough people who laughed the loudest were Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who laughed so much that they leaned forward and backwards, greatly losing Jiangdong's face.
But Sun Ce didn't care about such a thing, and he couldn't help laughing.
Wen Hui is very gentle, and he usually shows people with an approachable attitude, but today he suddenly wants to give up his old image and come to fight Zhou Yu to the death.
But Wen Hui saw Zhou Yu's strong body, and there were calluses on his palms, and his force value was not low, which was not something that a literati with a small body could deal with. Wen Hui finally extinguished his anger.
The reason for the matter is not that he cursed Sun Ce with a word, it was an opportunity for him to show his eloquence, no one on Jiangdong's side could refute him at the beginning, and he didn't want Zhou Yu to come, Wen Hui found that he would press on the ground and rub it.
"Mei Zhoulang is really extraordinary." Wen Hui naturally put this matter in his heart.
But Cao Cao's matter is the most important, Wen Hui did not forget Cao Cao's order, so he confessed and said: "General Sun, Governor Zhou, and you, I offended you just now, and I ask you to forgive me." Our lord Prime Minister Cao Cheng is facing the siege of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on Liu Yu's side. Yuzhou is in danger, and his lips are cold, and he also asks General Sun and Zhou Dudu to help my lord for the sake of the union of you and me. ”
Wen Hui can be regarded as enduring humiliation, he has never spoken to other princes in such a low voice, but in order to value his Cao Cao, Wen Hui can not have his own shame. As Zhou Yu said, Wen Hui betrayed Yuan Shao before, and that was because Yuan Shao was not the master of the Ming at all, and a talent like Wen Hui naturally had to find a master to come and assist. As for why Wen Hui did not join Liu Yu, who defeated Yuan Shao, the reason is actually very simple, Liu Yu confiscated a large number of land and industries of the family in Bingzhou as the original capital for his rise, Wen Hui is a person from Taiyuan, and the Wen family is a big family in Bingzhou. Among the land and properties confiscated by Liu Yu was the property of the Wen family, and it was strange that Wen Hui was able to join Liu Yu at that time.
It's just that Wen Hui also regretted a little in his heart after knowing that Liu Yu ascended the throne and became emperor, if he had followed Liu Yu very early, and now the worst is a big man, how could he be a master of Cao Cao. But Wen Hui recovered quickly, and compared to the high-ranking officials on Liu Yu's side, Wen Hui still liked the feeling of being valued by Cao Cao. Isn't being a human being just to exist in this world in order to realize one's own value?
And if Wen Hui had been able to predict Liu Yu's current strength, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
Zhou Yu looked at Wen Hui with a smile, and after seeing that Wen Hui did not have the same momentum as before, he knew that this guy had succumbed.
Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a look gently, and after years of cooperation between the two, Sun Ce knew what Zhou Yu was going to do, so he said: "Lord Wen, this matter is very important, and I will discuss it carefully with my subordinates." Please also ask Lord Wen to go down and rest first. ”
"Thank you, General. Waiting for the good news of the general. The big stone in Wen Hui's heart was a little relieved, and Sun Ce was relieved, which meant that there was hope for support.
It's just that Wen Hui forgot that just now he was still full of confidence that after Zhou Yu came back, the matter of supporting Cao Cao was stable, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would keep using him as soon as he came back.
Wen Hui, who was quite calm, didn't realize that he was dizzy by Zhou Yu.
When Wen Hui was alone, he calmed down, and finally found that he was stunned by Zhou Yu.
"It's over, this time I was underestimated by Jiangdong." Wen Hui could only smile bitterly.
