Chapter 908: Plotting with Each Other (Part II)

Lu Su almost gritted his teeth and said this. Those Jiangdong civil and military who wanted to withdraw their troops, when they saw Lu Su talking about it, also came to persuade each other. Zhou Yu looked at this group of Jiangdong civil and military who came to persuade him, and his heart was like a knife, but reason told him that the most important choice to make at the moment was just as this group of people said.

In the end, Zhou Yu still agreed to make peace, so he sent Lu Su as an envoy, and prepared to enter the city to meet Cao Cao the next day. The seats dispersed, and Zhou Yu was left alone in the tent, his hands clenched into fists, and two lines of blood and tears fell on his face.

"I, Zhou Gongjin, swear here, in this life and this life, I will fight with Cao Lao Thief until the revenge is !!"

At the same time, Cao Rencao created a battalion that night, and then ordered Zhang Jaw to rush to Xiapi City with a book to inform the information that reinforcements had arrived. Zhang Jaw received the order, led an elite iron cavalry, set off at night for three watches, and took advantage of the cover of the night to look around Picheng and marched towards Picheng.

Zhang Jaw cautiously marched all the way, and at night the fifth watch rushed to the city of Xiapi and shouted to open the door. The defenders of the city recognized Zhang Jaw and guessed that reinforcements must have arrived, and they were overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate. Zhang Jaw entered the city and immediately came to see Cao Cao. It happened that Cao Cao was thinking about Zhou Yu's strange measures for days that night, and he couldn't sleep at night, when his brows suddenly jumped, and he felt happy in his heart, feeling that good news was coming.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report in front of the door, and he opened his jaw and asked to see him. Cao Cao laughed and immediately recalled Zhang Jaw to see him. When he was young, he opened his jaw and bowed, and then told the past. Cao Cao heard that such a vicious battle had taken place in the Xiapi realm today, and he was shocked again and again. Later, when he heard that Cao Chun was captured by the Jiangdong Army in response to save Cao Zhang, his face suddenly darkened.

"Humph! This yellow beard is really unbelievably thick! ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly, his face cloudy. Zhang Jaw was afraid that Cao Cao would punish Cao Zhang heavily, and told Cao Zhang of his exploits in Yuzhou. Cao Cao listened, unconsciously raised his eyebrows, and thought secretly in his heart.

"It seems that Huang Xu'er has good martial arts, and with his bravery and good fighting, he can be on his own, but if he wants to become a great weapon, he still needs to be sharpened. However, the three sons of Lone, who are arrogant and do not wear out their sharp edge, will be destroyed sooner or later! ”

After Cao Cao thought about it, he didn't seem to be angry because of Cao Zhang's merits, but instead lashed out and scolded Cao Zhang. Zhang Jaw could not persuade him, but was reproached by Cao Cao for supporting this son too much.

After a while, Cao Cao's angry face was a little flat, and he changed his face and praised his jaw, and rewards were naturally indispensable. Zhang Jaw thanked him, and then Cao Cao let Zhang Jaw go down to rest.

Zhang Jaw's face was stunned, and he asked suspiciously.

"At present, our army has become a corner, and the situation is in a big situation, doesn't the king need the last general to report back to General Cao and make a layout?"

Cao Cao listened to this, but smiled mysteriously.

"It doesn't have to be. Alone and measured, you can rest in peace. ”

Zhang Jaw listened to the words, although he was still puzzled, but he still obeyed Cao Cao's orders and retreated. At this time, it was dawn, and Jia Xu was thinking all night, and seemed to be aware of it, and was rushing to see Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard that Jia Xu was coming, he smiled and summoned Jia Xu.

Jia Xu finished his salute and was about to speak, but saw Cao Cao's mysterious joy. Jia Xu's face froze, his mind was racing, and he asked with a smile.

"The king's face is happy, could it be that the reinforcements have arrived last night?"

Cao Cao bowed his head a little, smiled cutely, and immediately reported what Zhang Jaw reported and told Jia Xu one by one. Regarding Cao Chun's capture, Cao Cao seemed to be not angry but happy. Jia Xu groaned for a while, seemed to guess Cao Cao's thoughts, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, it seems that Gongjin is about to withdraw his troops this week."

"Oh? Why did Wen He say this? ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was a little playful, and he asked Jia Xu. Jia Xuhao's eyes shimmered, and then replied in a condensed voice.

"The current situation is very unfavorable for the Jiangdong Army. But Zhou Gongjin is Sun Bofu's righteous brother, and Sun Bofu is the lord of Jiangdong, if he can't recapture his body. The Jiangdong Army will inevitably fight to the death. However, yesterday the Jiangdong Army captured General Cao. In this way, the Jiangdong ministers must hope to exchange General Cao for the corpse of their master, so as to ask for a truce between the two families. Although Zhou Gongjin was extremely unwilling, it was difficult to suppress the hearts of the people, and the situation was indeed unfavorable to his army. Zhou Gongjin had no choice but to respond to the wishes of the ministers. The king only needs to wait for a while, and there will be an envoy from Jiangdong who will ask for a meeting! ”

"Hahaha! Wen He really has a high opinion. ”

Cao Cao laughed loudly, Jia Xu was very modest and polite, he knew that Cao Cao had already seen through everything, and what he asked just now was just deliberate.

At noon, Lu Su, supported by a group of elite soldiers from Jiangdong, rushed to the city and shouted to see Cao Cao. The defenders of the city had already received Cao Cao's order and immediately opened the city gate. Lu Su then entered the city to see Cao Cao, and Gu said that the two families of Cao and Sun were in a truce. Cao Cao sat high in the hall, listened to it, and then appeased Lu Su, and then ordered someone to move Sun Ce's coffin. Lu Su saw his lord's coffin, knelt beside him, and wept bitterly in the hall.

Cao Cao's face was a little embarrassed, and he said softly.

"Gu Benwang and the Sun clan of Eastern Wu formed a good alliance, combined the strength of the two families, and went to the Han family together to exterminate the traitors and save the people of the world from dire straits. It's a pity that providence made people, Sun Lang mistakenly fell for the treacherous plan of Zhuge Villager, reneged on the covenant between the two families, and invaded the situation of orphans. The matter has come to this point, and it is not the original intention of loneliness. Sun Lang's corpse has been stored here in a coffin. Hope that Zhou Gongjin will quickly return to Cao Chun, and the two families will each withdraw their troops and then stop the invasion. This is really the luck of the court and the people of the world. ”

Lu Su endured his grief and thanked him. Xun You's face changed drastically at the bottom of the stairs, and he hurriedly came out and admonished.

"No! Cannot! The king needs to think twice, and the minister has a word, which can make the Jiangdong armies not return. Please cut Lu Su first, and then use the trick!! ”

As soon as Xun Yu said this, Lu Su's face turned pale on the spot, and he shouted in his heart that my life would be suspended.

Cao Cao frowned, although the Jiangdong Army was in a defeated situation at the moment, the Jiangdong Army still had more than 40,000 troops, and the fierce generals in the army were like clouds. What the immediate outcome will be, no one knows.

Cao Cao didn't want to take the risk, but he didn't refuse Xun Yu on the spot, but asked in a condensed voice.

"According to Gongda's opinion, what is the loneliness?"

Xun You's expression froze, his bright eyes glowed, and he shouted.

"Now that Sun Ce has been mourned, there is no one in the Sun family to take over the overall situation. When the king took advantage of this weakness, he wiped out the Jiangdong armies, and then gathered the army and attacked Jiangdong quickly. If the corpse is returned and the soldiers are dismissed, and they are allowed to develop strength, the enmity of the two families is really a disaster for the Central Plains! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face immediately became solemn. At this moment, Lu Su suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!!"

Lu Su's laughter spread throughout the hall, Xun You's face turned cold, and then turned to look at Lu Su and asked coldly.

"Lu Zijing, you are in great trouble, and you still dare to be presumptuous here!?"

Lu Su's laughter stopped suddenly, his eyes were cold, and he looked at Xun You coldly.

"Although our Jiangdong army is in a precarious situation at present, our army still has 40,000 elite soldiers, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Ding Feng's peerless generals, plus my Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor Zhou Gongjin is in charge, if our army fights to the death, it will be able to fight to the ground. At that time, the power of Sun Cao's two families will be greatly damaged, and it will only make other princes in other places sit and reap the benefits of fishermen!

Don't forget, the current champion Hou Wen Bufan is conquering Xichuan, if the Northwest Army attacks Xichuan and obtains Shu. Its momentum is so great that it can swallow the world. This person is the great trouble of King Wei's henchmen. If the King of Wei is bent on fighting to the death with my Jiangdong, I am afraid that the territory will not be protected in the future, and the foundation of my life will be taken away by others! ”

As soon as Lu Su's words fell, this remark was the biggest worry in Cao Cao's heart. Suddenly, the faces of all the Cao clan's civil and military officers in the hall changed drastically, and they suddenly woke up. Cao Cao's terrifying eyes narrowed suddenly, staring at Lu Su deadly, and at the same time, his mind turned to analyze it carefully in his heart.

At present, the soldiers and horses under his command have fought viciously in the three states of Jing, Henan, and Xu, with a lot of losses, and the death of the generals under his command, the wounds and wounds, and those who can still survive are also exhausted and exhausted. If he wants to attack Jiangdong, he must first defeat Zhou Gongjin's 40,000 elite soldiers, and then wave his troops to drive in, and fight for a long time in the enemy territory. If this is the case, the war will continue for a long time, and it will cost a lot of food and troops. Even if you can attack Koto at that time. With the strength of the Wenhan Northwest Army, it must have already attacked Xichuan and attacked the Central Plains with the general momentum. Even with the weakness of the self-army after many years of fatigue, how can it resist the tiger and wolf division of the Northwest Army!? Moreover, in the land of Jingzhou, there is also Liu Xuande, an ambitious person eyeing him, and this person is complemented by Zhuge Liang's genius, who is like a tiger with wings, and must not be taken lightly.

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and his eyes were condensed, but he pretended to be angry and shouted angrily.

"Ridiculous!! There are more than 600,000 soldiers under the command of Lone, and it covers half of the country, and it is only the northwest rat generation, forgive him for having great courage, and he does not dare to commit Lone's territory!! Lu Zijing, you have to be alarmist here, you have fought countless battles in your life, and you have never been afraid of anyone! is Wen Bufan, Zhou Gongjin and others, if they dare to commit the power of Lone, Lone will sooner or later be captured under the tent and let him bow down!! ”

Cao Cao was furious and rushed to the crown, and he had the posture of wanting to fight the Jiangdong army to the end. Lu Su's body trembled, as if he didn't expect Cao Cao to ignore the overall situation, so he wanted to fight with his own army for a while. Xiahou Yuan frowned when he heard this, and was about to admonish Cao Cao, but he looked at Jia Xu first. saw a faint smile on Jia Xu's mouth, and he was not in a hurry about Cao Cao's anger. Xiahou Yuan suddenly understood a lot.

At this moment, Cao Cao's words suddenly changed, and he said in a condensed voice.

"But there is Cao Chun alone in the camp, and he forbears and abandons it. Cao Chun is a member of the Gu clan, and he was captured by the Jiangdong Army in order to save his three sons under the Gu knee before. If you are lonely, it is really unjust. Lu Zijing, you go back quickly, let you have three days, and give a reply. Otherwise, Lone will not give up with you!! ”

When Lu Su heard this, he was shocked in his heart, how dare he make a mistake, so he retreated. Lu Su's soul was not guarded, so he quickly went out of Xiapi and returned to the village to see Zhou Yu and tell him about the past. Jiangdong's civil and military forces were shocked when they heard that Cao Cao almost ignored the overall situation out of anger, and wanted to fight to the death with his own army. Later, when I heard the deadline given by Cao Cao, everyone came to persuade him.

Zhou Yu's face was cold, with his wisdom, how could he not see that Cao Cao was using mental tricks, but he was secretly doing it in his heart.

"Humph! Cao Lao is a thief and cunning, so he is deceitful! Sooner or later, I will teach you to know that I am amazing! ”

Although Zhou Yu knew this, he didn't have the trick to penetrate Cao Cao's mind, because Zhou Yu understood that the army's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and it was useless to say more. Zhou Yuhao's eyes burst into light, and he suddenly came up with a plan in his heart. Zhou Yu grinned, revealing a weird smile. Lu Su's heart squirmed for a while, and he didn't know why. Immediately, Zhou Yu responded to Cao Cao's request and sent Lu Su to give a reply tomorrow, saying that in two days, he would let his soldiers and horses slowly withdraw from the Xuzhou realm and exchange them on the bank of the Yangtze River.

When a group of Jiangdong civil and military officers heard Zhou Yu's order, they immediately let go of their hearts. At the same time, Zhou Yu quickly sent people to Danyang and transferred ships to respond.
