Chapter 778: Waiting for the Moment
"Now in the battle of Hanzhong, Liu Wei and Zhang Lu's army have been in a stalemate at Yangping Pass for some time."
Feeling the wind that was already a little cool, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Lord, it's windy here, let's go back." Some of the attendants felt the cold, and then kindly opened their mouths to persuade them.
However, after hearing this, Sun Quan didn't care, but just smiled softly, "It's okay, occasionally blowing a cool breeze can make my brain more sober." ”
Sun Quan said this, of course the guards won't talk anymore, it's impossible to say, lord, don't be sober in your mind.
If you say this, I'm afraid that the next moment, I will be pulled out and killed.
"My lord, Lord Lu and the Metropolitan Governor are here, and they are already outside the pavilion."
Not long after, a soldier came in to report to Sun Quan.
"Please." Sun Quan immediately spoke after hearing this.
"The minister has seen the lord." Zhou Yu and Lu Su went one after the other, and saluted Sun Quan.
"Hurry up, didn't I say it, you don't have to be courteous in normal times, so why do you need to see outsiders like this."
Sun Quan hurriedly helped Zhou Yu and Lu Su up and spoke.
"How can this courtesy of the monarch and the minister be abolished, the lord is tolerant, but we dare not disobey." Lu Su hurriedly spoke.
Zhou Yu also nodded in agreement with what Lu Su said.
"What should I say to you?" Sun Quan said helplessly.
"Go and keep watch outside, and don't allow anyone to come near and disturb you." Then Sun Quan turned to look at the soldier beside him and said.
The guards were also very knowledgeable and naturally left.
As far as they were concerned, it didn't matter whether Sun Quan really asked them to guard them, or just found an excuse to get away from them so that they couldn't hear what they had to say.
These are not important to them at all, because they are just guards, and they are worthy of it.
"My lord, why did you call us here this time?" Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and asked.
"Now that the battle of Hanzhong has been going on for several days, Liu Wei's army and Zhang Lu's army are deadlocked in Yangping Pass, what should we do now?"
Sun Quan didn't continue to beat around the bush, and immediately looked at Lu Su and Zhou Yu and asked.
During this time, he was thinking about this matter every day, and he knew that this was definitely a good opportunity.
So maybe it's because it's too much attention, but it makes Sun Quan feel a little anxious.
"The lord is thinking about what Gong Jin said before, why hasn't Cao Cao's envoy come yet." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and said with a smile.
Sun Quan's thoughts, he quickly saw it, and he also understood what it was for this time.
So Zhou Yu is also understandable about this.
"Yes, I really can't hide it from Gongjin." Sun Quan did not deny it, but said with a smile.
"Now Liu Wei is already in the heat of fighting, but we are not moving, in case we miss the opportunity, it will be a pity."
"Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, Cao Cao's envoy will arrive today, and even if he sends troops, Cao Cao will choose after Liu Wei takes Yangping Pass." Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Yu confidently and said.
"Why?" Sun Quan asked subconsciously.
"After occupying Yangping Pass, it will be impossible for Liu Wei to retreat from Hanzhong, unless he is completely defeated." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and replied, he also agreed with Cao Cao's choice on this point.
Once Yangping Pass is occupied, how can Liu Wei retreat easily at this time.
After Sun Quan understood, he finally nodded, "Why did the Metropolitan Governor assert that Cao Cao's envoy would arrive today?" ”
"Lord, this matter is messy if you care about it, this news that Cheng Yu is about to arrive, I'm afraid it has already arrived at your table."
"This group of minions, they don't have any eyesight, they don't even know to notify me of such a big thing, if there is any urgent military information, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"
After Sun Quan heard Lu Su's words, he immediately smiled and said.
"Haha, my lord, don't worry, the military situation can't be delayed, there is Gongjin." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and said with a smile.
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan also thought that he had given an order before, and all military intelligence reports were in duplicate, one for Zhou Yu and one for him.
The purpose of this is also very simple, that is, the military situation can be dealt with as soon as possible, after all, no one is more talented than Zhou Yu in this regard.
Another reason is that this can show his trust and importance to Zhou Yu.
"You two are doing something to make me happy." Sun Quan quickly understood.
Lu Su and Zhou Yu also saw that he had been a little overly nervous recently because of this matter.
So the two of them took this opportunity so that he could relax.
"It's good to have Qing and other assistants." Sun Quan was also frowning at this time.
No matter how the situation changes, my Sun Quan will not be afraid.
In the afternoon, everything was as Zhou Yu said, and Cheng Yu also arrived on time.
"Cheng Yu has seen General Sun."
After Cheng Yu came in, he looked at Sun Quan and saluted and said.
In any case, Sun Quan is now the lord of Jiangdong, and he Cheng Yu is still here as an envoy.
So it's normal to bow to Sun Quan.
"Arise, what is your Lord sending you this time?" Sun Quan motioned for Cheng Yu to get up, and then asked.
"I have heard for a long time that there are many capable people in Jiangdong, and most of them are famous in Jiangdong, and he has the reputation of Zhou Lang, presumably he already knows, in this case, why does General Sun need to ask knowingly?" Cheng Yu glanced at Sun Quan and then replied.
Obviously, Cheng Yu's meaning is very simple and clear, that is, everyone is a smart person, so don't beat around the bush and fix those falsehoods.
"Since Lord Cheng is so direct, then I won't be verbose, since your lord plans to send troops, why do you want to pull me?"
"What if I don't want to?" Sun Quan looked at Cheng Yu and said coldly.
At this time, he won't behave the same as before, he paid too much attention to it before.
"General Sun, this is a bad word, this matter is a godsend, so why postpone it."
"What's more, Cheng Yu also knows that General Sun is not really postponed, but the two alliances need to be honest."
Cheng Yu looked at Sun Quan and said.
"Haha, why are you so confident, aren't you afraid of disappointment?" Sun Quan looked at Cheng Yu and spoke again.
"My father-in-law once said that General Sun is a masterpiece in the world, and such a good opportunity will not be missed." Cheng Yu looked at Sun Quan and replied.
"It seems that your lord has a very high opinion of me." Sun Quan looked at Cheng Yu and smiled.
"In that case, then go back and tell your lord that I will send troops in this matter."
Cheng Yu nodded after listening to Sun Quan's promise, "Then Cheng Yu is here to congratulate you in advance, General Sun and my lord have won a great victory." ”
"Okay." Sun Quan got up and spoke.
"Lord Cheng has been tired all the way, let's go down and rest first, and I will set up a banquet for you in the evening."
"Thank you, General Sun, for your kindness." Cheng Yu bowed and bowed, and then withdrew.
When he saw Xun Yu's back completely leave, Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and Lu Su on the side, "I really didn't expect Cao Cao to have such an evaluation of me." ”
"And this Cheng Yu is not simple, presumably he has already recognized you, but he didn't ask a word."
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, this Cheng Yu is indeed a wise man, and Cao Mengde is even more talented." ”
"Haha, it seems that my Metropolitan Governor also values Cao Cao, so I don't know who is more powerful in the eyes of the Metropolitan Governor?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu jokingly and asked.
But although it was a joke, Zhou Yu could also see that Sun Quan was actually looking forward to it.
"Since the lord asked, then I told the truth?"
"Naturally, I said it truthfully, how could I be the kind of person who can't afford to lose?" Sun Quan said with a smile.
"The lord and Cao Cao are both masterpieces in the world, but Cao Mengde is sharper, and Cao Cao has been dormant and more sophisticated."
"The lord knows that people are good at their duties, unites people's hearts, and rectifies Jiangdong is also impressive, and in terms of talent, if you have to compete, Cao Cao may be slightly better."
"But it's not easy for Cao Cao to win over the lord."
Sun Quan nodded, he was indeed worse than Cao Cao.
"Alright, now that everything is ready, it's just time."
Sun Quan's eyes suddenly sharpened.
