Zhou Yu came to visit, and Pang Tong and others retreated.

Deng Zhan led Zhou Yu here.

After entering the house, Zhou Yu bowed to Cao Shuo and said with a smile on his face: "Zirong came to Jiangdong, I happened to have something in the army and couldn't leave, so I couldn't go to the riverside to greet me, please don't blame." ”

Zhou Yu just said politely, but he didn't expect Cao Shuo to grin and say to him: "Gongjin didn't come to the river to greet me, I must be unhappy." Tonight, Wu Hou has a banquet, you can drink two more cups to apologize. ”

"Well said, well said." Zhou Yu replied with a smile: "But Zirong has to drink with me." ”

"I'm here in Jiangdong, so many of you deal with me, how can I stand it?" Cao Shuo waved his hand again and again, and then asked Zhou Yu: "Gongjin is busy with military affairs, is he busy dealing with the Cao family who may come to cross the river?" ”

Unexpectedly, Cao Shuo suddenly asked like this, and Zhou Yu was very surprised and stunned.

He then smiled and said to Cao Shuo: "Zirong said that he laughed, the Cao family has no signs of crossing the river, why should I respond?" ”

"I thought you were guarding against the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "I didn't see Gong Jin, and I was still wondering if I had listened to someone's slander and planned to be the enemy of our Cao family." ”

"How so." Zhou Yu said: "Zirong and I are old friends, and we have a deep friendship with each other, but the Sun family in Jiangdong even wants to marry Zirong, is it possible that Zirong still doubts the sincerity of the friendship between the Sun family and the Cao family?" ”

"Of course I don't doubt the sincerity of the Sun family." Cao Shuo said: "Especially after meeting my mother-in-law, I believe that the Cao family and the Sun family can be repaired for a long time." ”

"Why is it eternal, and not eternal?" Zhou Yu interjected and asked.

"I said that it will be repaired forever, does Gong Jin believe it or not?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"It's not impossible." Zhou Yu said: "As long as Zirong and Wu Hou have no suspicion of each other, it is not impossible to reconcile forever. ”

"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "The Han family is only 400 years old, and now it has gone through 24 emperors. Two or three hundred years later, it is difficult to say whether the Cao family and the Sun family will still be there, and even if they are still there, whether the descendants of the two families will be like us, but it is not something we can control. ”

"Zirong said this, but I thought badly." Zhou Yu asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Zirong, when does the Cao family's army plan to evacuate Jingzhou?" ”

"I'd also like to know when the army will leave." Cao Shuo replied: "However, Liu Xuande is difficult, he led his troops to retreat to Jiangxia, and he will not be able to destroy him for a while." Liu Xuande is not destroyed, how can the army be withdrawn? ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "It seems that there are still some days." ”

"The army is stationed in Jingzhou, and countless grains and grass are consumed every day, and my father also has a headache." Cao Shuo said: "But Liu Xuande is still there, if you let him go, I don't know who will suffer from him in the future......"

"Zirong said this, how do I think Liu Xuande is like a flood beast?" Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "He only has more than 10,000 people under his command, so he won't ......."

"Gong Jin, don't underestimate him." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that he had sent Zhuge Kongming to Jiangdong to try to persuade Wu Hou to deal with the Cao family. Not only that, but he even wanted to marry the lady I was engaged to. If the Sun family really agreed, the war between the Cao and Sun families would probably be not long after. ”

"Zhuge Kong has definitely come to Jiangdong, and he also asked to see me, but I didn't see him." Zhou Yu said: "I heard that Youzirong who entered Jingzhou, I felt that the Cao family and the Sun family would not be able to fight this time. ”

"Since Wu Hou took over Jiangdong, the Sun family is now very stable." Cao Shuo said: "In fact, my father is also very optimistic about Wu Hou, and has proposed many times in front of me that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. ”

"Cao Gong said so?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Of course." Cao Shuo sighed: "I thought I had done a lot of things in the past few years, and I should have some status in my father's eyes, but I didn't think that I was still inferior to Wu Hou." ”

In fact, Cao Cao didn't say that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, but Cao Shuo suddenly thought of this sentence and deliberately said it to Zhou Yu.

In the history he knew, he shouldn't have survived until now, and Cao Cao was not very satisfied with the abilities of his sons, so he would say such a sentence in the future.

In recent years, he has fought in the south and the north, and has managed Shouchun and other places in an orderly manner.

Essay on martial arts, Cao Shuo has long surpassed Sun Quan, and I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to say such things in the future.

But Zhou Yu listened to this sentence very pleasantly.

At the beginning, Sun Ce entrusted Sun Quan to him, Zhang Zhao and others, but in the past few years, it was with the support of everyone that Sun Quan stabilized his position step by step.

Sun Quan has a reputation for being virtuous, and of course Zhou Yu and the others also feel brilliance on their faces.

"Zirong doesn't have to be like this." Although he was proud in his heart, Zhou Yu said: "In the past few years, you have led the troops to fight in the south and the north, and have made countless contributions to the Cao family. ”

"Most of the crusade against the north is the work of my father." Cao Shuo said: "If I want to prove myself, the only way is to kill Liu Xuande." ”

"Zi Rongxin wants to kill Liu Xuande, I can't figure out one thing." Zhou Yu said: "I remember that Liu Xuande was in Xudu back then, why didn't you kill him at that time?" ”

"When Liu Xuande fell into trouble and threw himself into the Cao family, his father couldn't bear to harm him when he was cornered." Cao Shuo said: "Although I know that his character is not good, I have repeatedly planned to start, but my father has no choice but to stop me. Now my father also regrets it very much, and it is precisely because of the kindness of his thoughts that Liu Xuande has come and gone from south to north to harm many Li people. ”

Knowing that Cao Shuo had arrived in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu had a little less idea that the Cao family would send troops to cross the river.

The Cao family was still in Jingzhou, and it was when Jiangdong was on the deepest guard, and Cao Shuo's crossing of the river was nothing more than putting himself to death.

If a person like Cao Shuo really planned to attack Jiangdong, he probably wouldn't have risked crossing the river.

After all, he is alive, and the benefits he can bring to the Cao family are far greater than going to Jiangdong to marry a daughter-in-law.

"The festival between the Cao family and Liu Xuande, we don't know about it in Jiangdong." Zhou Yu said: "It's just that I feel that I don't need hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade against Liu Xuande......"

"Gong Jin, don't underestimate Liu Xuande." Cao Shuo said: "He has always been good at running for his life, even if it is hundreds of thousands of troops, I am worried that I will not be able to catch him." ”

Zhou Yu was reminding Cao Shuo that hundreds of thousands of Cao troops were stationed on the north bank, and the Jiangdong Sun family would respond no matter what.

Cao Shuo's answer to him is also very clear, the Cao family did not hesitate to go out in order to capture Liu Bei, and they attached great importance to this matter, and no one should try to change the Cao family's measures.

Neither of them said their true intentions, but they both understood what the other was trying to say.
