Chapter 354: Sun Quan's helplessness

"You promise? What guarantees do you take? Sun Quan said very lightly: "It's ridiculous." Yuan Xi was no match for Cao Cao, and wanted me to send troops to help, but he said it so high-soundingly, as if he was thinking about me. You lobbyists, I hate it the most in my life, don't you just want me to send troops, it's okay to send troops, let Yuan Xi take out money and food. I, the children of Jiangdong, will not sacrifice in vain. ”

"Hahaha..."

Li Fu looked up to the sky and smiled.

The laughter doesn't seem fake.

"I thought that Jiangdong was more heroic and handsome, and General Sun was the hero of the world, unexpectedly.... Hahaha, it's ridiculous. Li Fu said with a smile: "Since the battle of Guandu, my lord took over Hebei, first faced Cao Cao, Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan, Zhang Yan's joint crusade, a total of 500,000 troops, although my lord has a small number of troops, but he can deal with it freely, and he is repelled one by one, Cao Cao is even more defeated, and the soldiers are heavily damaged. Subsequently, we suffered the invasion of the Eastern Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Goguryeo aliens, and hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen galloped into Youzhou. The result? Tuoba Xianbei and Goguryeo perished. The Xiongnu left the Gobi, and the eastern Xianbei survived. When our lord's strength is small, he can still make such peerless feats. Now Hebei Dading, all of us are united, I have hundreds of thousands of Hebei troops, crossing the Yellow River, entering the Central Plains, and destroying Cao only in an instant, General Sun thought... Is my Lord asking you for help? Perhaps, if General Sun insists on thinking so, he should have never been here. ”

After Li Fu finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait."

Sun Quan was just testing Li Fu just now, wanting to know Li Fu's true intentions: "You go on." ”

Li Fu turned around and said, "I don't deny that the general's attack on Cao is beneficial to my lord, and this is also the purpose of my coming here." If... There is no benefit, why should I travel thousands of miles from Hebei to Jiangdong? But this benefit, I'm Hebei... It doesn't have to be. Without the help of the generals, we can also destroy Cao! ”

"What I'm trying to say is... Jiangdong sent troops, which was beneficial to both of us. It is on this basis that our negotiations can proceed. ”

Jiangdong old minister Zhang Zhao asked: "What you said... What does it mean to be good for Koto? ”

"That's a good question, even if Mr. doesn't ask, I'll say it." Li Fu said: "Zeng Ji Zhou Gongjin attacked Yangzhou and took advantage of the time, location, and people, but in the end he was defeated in Hefei. I would like to ask, why is that? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Jiangdong generals present were very angry.

Li Fu continued: "This is because Jiangdong's infantry is not as good as Cao Cao's cavalry, and once it meets Cao Cao's main force, it will not be able to fight, which is normal." Therefore, Jiangdong takes Yangzhou, which seems to be close at hand, but it is extremely difficult. Now there is a great opportunity in front of you, as long as Jiangdong sends troops to attack Yangzhou, our Hebei army will echo with you and capture Xuzhou. At that time, Cao Cao's main force will go to the north, Yangzhou will be empty, and you can easily get it. In addition, our lord made it clear that if Cao Cao dared to aid Yangzhou, he would personally lead a large army to Huainan to fight and support the Yangzhou battlefield. Ensure Jiangdong and smoothly capture Yangzhou. In a word... Yangzhou belongs to General Sun, and no one can take it away, this is my lord's guarantee! ”

The old minister Zhang Zhao nodded.

Sun Quan was puzzled: "Yuan Xi's great help to me is conditional, right?" ”

"Of course. As I said earlier, our negotiations are based on mutual benefits. Our lord did his best to help General Sun capture Yangzhou, on the condition that Jiangdong's naval division must go to Neijiang and annihilate Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. And this... I believe that this is also what General Sun is willing to see, because Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have always been the great enemies of Jiangdong. ”

Wait for Li Fu to finish.

Sun Quan was very happy.

Yuan Xi gave him such a great help, just asking him to annihilate Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and this matter also made Chao Siwei think about it. Even if Yuan Xi didn't ask for it, he would try his best to annihilate this old enemy.

Sun Quan wanted to agree.

The veteran Cheng Pu came out of the ranks and said: "Lord, although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's water army is not as good as us, but after all, it is the elite of Jingzhou's water army, and it is really not easy to completely annihilate it." Besides, this has nothing to do with our attack on Yangzhou. Because Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors are all in Neijiang, they will not drive to Hefei. ”

"The old general's words are wrong." Li Fu immediately retorted: "Annihilation of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, how can it have nothing to do with Jiangdong." As I have just said, this is the condition for my lord to support Jiangdong in attacking Yangzhou. Without this, our Hebei Army would not intervene in the war in Yangzhou. Once Cao Cao comes to Yangzhou's aid, we will have a wait-and-see attitude. ”

Cheng Pu had nothing to say.

Huang Gai jumped out: "The Jingzhou Navy is our old enemy, and we have fought with them many times, and we have not won or lost. Now that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were severely injured by Zhuge Liang in Baqiu, it is the time when we are ashamed, and the last general thinks that we should destroy them and eradicate the old enemy. It is also to prepare for the capture of Jingxiang in the future. ”

"Ahem... I'll talk about the capture of Jingxiang later. Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li has already made it clear just now. Yuan Xi gave us plenty of benefits, and I think it's not bad. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are the ones I want to eliminate, this time, we must win! ”

"Cheng Pu."

"Yes."

Cheng Pu is out of the ranks.

Sun Quan's domineering side leaked: "With Zhou Yu as the main general, Han Dang and Zhou Tai as deputy generals, Ling Tong and Gan Ning as the vanguard, 30,000 water troops were raised, and they went to Neijiang to annihilate Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. ”

"No."

Cheng Yu subconsciously responded.

But then, he frowned again: "Lord, you know the temper of respect, since the last battle of Hefei, he always wants to capture Yangzhou again." All my land and water army are stationed in the Liyang area, and you transfer him to fight in Neijiang, in case he doesn't allow it, this... ”

"I am the lord of Koto, I have the final say! Tell him according to my words, "Raise your army within five days, and those who violate it will be punished." Sun Quan glanced at Li Fu in the hall, felt a little embarrassed, and said stiffly.

"Yes."

Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, this is the first time that Zhou Yu has been strictly ordered. Usually you have to look at Zhou Yu's face to act, his orders are in Zhou Yu's place, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, to put it bluntly, everything depends on Zhou Yu's mood.

If Zhou Yu refuted Sun Quan with a tough attitude, Sun Quan would also have to give in.

What's even more infuriating is Jiangdong Wenwu, most of whom serve Zhou Yu.

The discussion ended.

Li Fu was not in a hurry to leave.

He felt that Sun Quan's situation was a little difficult, and he might not be able to mobilize Zhou Yu.

Li Fu followed Sun Quan to the back room and arched his hand: "Is the general in trouble?" ”

"Nope."

"General, don't lie to me, I know at a glance that Zhou Gongjin has a monopoly on power, and I'm afraid that he won't obey the general's orders."

"Now that you know, say what you do." Sun Quan sat down angrily and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes." These six counties of Jiangdong were laid down by my brother and Gong Jin, and now my brother has passed away, although Jiangdong respects me as the master, most of the generals in the army obey Gong Jin's orders. I asked him to go to Neijiang, if he didn't go, I couldn't do it, this is the limit of what I can do. Our cooperation can only depend on luck. ”
