Chapter 403: Becoming Brothers
Zhuge Liang's proposal made Zhou Yu feel a bad feeling of being attracted, but at the same time being controlled by others but unable to refuse.
According to Zhou Yu's original plan, he hoped that Sun Ce could find a foothold in Jiangnan and then encroach on the entire Jiangdong.
But judging from the current situation, this plan is afraid that it will not be realized.
Because of the presence of potters.
The power and military strength of the pottery merchants have completely exceeded Zhou Yu's imagination, and the territory and strong soldiers of the eight counties of the Tao clan are like a behemoth, intimidating the entire Jiangnan, in the southeast boundary, whether it is the time, location, people, financial resources, and generals, none of the Sun clan can be compared with the pottery merchants.
If you want to compete with the potters for Jiangdong, with the strength of the Sun family, I am afraid that it is wishful thinking.
Zhou Yu even understood that even Yuan Shu would not be the opponent of the potter after a long time.
Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.
Instead of continuing to fight meaninglessly with this behemoth, it is better to change one way of thinking and find a way out for Sun's soldiers and horses from another angle.
After occupying Huainan, maybe for a while, he will be governed by the pottery merchants, but if he can unite with Lu Bu to manage it well, Huainan can also be regarded as a brave place.
And think about it carefully, although Sun Ce and Huang Zu have a grudge, it is not impossible to develop westward to conquer Jiangxia across the Xiangjiang River after they are full-fledged in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuge also please rest for a day, and tomorrow in the white room, Yu will personally take you to see Brother Bo Fu." ”
……
At the same time that Zhuge Liang arrived at Zhou Yu's place, Lu Bu on the other side once again ushered in the messenger of the pottery merchant.
Young Sima Yi.
"The family teacher asked me to tell Wen Hou that the plan has changed, and I also asked Wen Hou to pause and rest, and after Sun Ce's letter from the military camp, it is not too late to take action."
Although Lu Bu was brave, he did not know the tricks of deceit and did not understand what Sima Yi meant.
On the contrary, Chen Gong was shrewd, and he heard the meaning of Sima Yi's words in an instant.
Chen Gong stared at Sima Yi for a long time, and then said slowly: "According to Sima Xiaoyou's intentions, didn't Yuan Shumo have murderous intentions against my family Wen Hou?" And you want to fake your hand to Sun Ce? ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a thrill.
Sima Yi said respectfully: "Mr. Gongtai is the head of the wise men of Yanzhou, who is well versed in the way of strategy, under the order of the family teacher, just to make a slight mention to Wen Hou, and now there is Yi's second junior brother to go to Sun Ce's army, persuade Sun Ce and Wen Hou and our army to discuss the plan, plot Huainan, and wait for the future to be completed, Huainan land, there is Wen Hou and General Sun to share, the family teacher will never interfere, our three families are each other's lips and teeth, based on the south, advance can attack, retreat can defend!" A strong enemy in the north can become a strong momentum. ”
"Don't want Huainan?" Chen Gong smiled when he heard this: "I'm afraid it's not that Taifu doesn't want it, but that he doesn't have the time and enough troops to ask for it, right?" Why do you say it as if you were giving alms to my family? ”
Sima Yi was not angry when he heard this, he looked at Chen Gong and said, "Even if Mr. Gongtai is right, is there anything different about this matter?" Wen Hou is a hero in the world, and now that he has the opportunity to become a hegemon and be on a par with the princes of the world, why not? Could it be fair for Wen Hou to let Wen Hou be attached to Yuan Shu's account forever? ”
Chen Gongfang was about to speak, but he heard Lu Bu say: "Sima Xiaoyou's words are true, Yuan Shu thief is narrow-minded, far less than Taifu Leiluo, instead of being attached to him, it is better to kill him and seize his land!" ”
Sima Yi laughed and clapped his hands and praised: "Wen Hou is quick to talk, worthy of being a handsome man in the world, since this is the case, please also ask Wen Hou to take a break from the soldiers and horses, and wait for Sun Lang's notice." ”
Lu Bu turned his head and ordered: "Wei Xu!" ”
"In!"
"You lead Sima Xiaoyou and go to the camp to rest, and after Sun Ce has news, then wait for the general's order."
"No!"
Sima Yi did not delay, that is, Yu Wei continued, he knew in his heart that Lu Bu must have discussed this matter with Chen Gong and the generals of Bingzhou.
After Sima Yi left, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, what you promised just now is inevitably a little too anxious, why don't you let me think more about that little boy and strive for more benefits and benefits for Wen Hou." ”
Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Don't be too greedy, the potter has repeatedly shown favor to me, and now he is willing to help me gain a foothold in Huainan, which can be regarded as a favor to me, I can't do things too much!" ”
Gong Chang Chen sighed and shook his head, his expression very helpless.
"What kindness does the potter have to us? At the moment, he is just using us to get rid of Yuan Shu for him, and block the pressure on the northern and western fronts for Jiangdong in Huainan, and when his power is great in the future, how can he let us go? ”
Lu Bu snorted and said, "So what? When the power surnamed Tao is successful, won't the wings of this general be full? It's a pity not to use it at this time! As long as there is a territory, there is a general to recruit troops and buy horses, by Mr. Tuntian to govern the people, and how can he not train the world's strong soldiers, when the time comes, if the potter follows me, we can continue to be friends with him, if he looks down on the general, this will then tear the skin with him, what is there to fear? ”
Chen Gong lowered his head and pondered the matter carefully in his heart.
To tell the truth, this suggestion for the wandering army of Lu Bu, the temptation is indeed far beyond expectations, Yuan Shu rampant conquest, in Huainan has long lost the hearts of the people, replace him as the lord of Huainan, can not only solve the problem of safety, but also develop their own power, but with the strength of Sun Ce and Lu Bu, I am afraid that it will be difficult, but if there is the assistance of the pottery merchant, these will become possible.
In the same way, it would be very difficult for him for the potter to destroy Yuan Shu in a short period of time, but with the help of Lu Bu and Sun Ce, all this would be much easier.
After carefully planning for a long time, Chen Deng suddenly said: "Although this move is equivalent to plotting with the tiger, it is also worth it, but Wen Hou still needs to keep in mind the following words, so that he will lose in the future." ”
Lu Bu nodded heavily and said, "What did the public station teach me?" But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Chen Gong said slowly: "Wen Hou's army and Sun Ce's army have no territory, and they have always been lonely, if you want to succeed in this world, you must remember the truth that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, Wen Hou must not be as sexual as in the past, and must join forces with Sun Ce to the end, so that you can have the opportunity and strength to expand...... According to the following meaning, it is best for Wen Hou to form a family with Sun Ce and accept him as a son-in-law, so as to be conducive to the great cause in the future. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he was very hesitant.
"Gongtai, my daughter is ...... now is not suitable for marrying, and if she is married, she will be afraid that some things will be exposed when she turns back, but it will provoke the two families to be unbeautiful...... How about I marry Sun Ce? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Gong in the tent, but even the other generals were stunned.
Becoming brothers?
Hao Meng was the most straightforward, he folded his fingers and carefully calculated for a while, before he said: "Wen Hou, if you and Sun Ce are brothers, it seems that you have directly lost a generation!" When you look back, even those surnamed Tao can call you big brother, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others have become your uncle......"
Lu Bu walked over angrily, kicked Hao Meng over, and said angrily: "Cao Cao is your uncle!" ”
Then, I saw that Lu Bu patted his chest very confidently, and said arrogantly: "Ben will discuss with them!" ”
Chen Gong raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Chen and these barbarians just don't get along.
