Sun Quan was still hesitating whether to kill Cao Shuo, and Zhou Yu's heart was suddenly anxious.

He said to Sun Quan: "If Cao Zirong is let go, the Cao family will definitely be stronger in the future, and sooner or later Jiangdong will still fall into their hands." If Wu Hou doesn't make a decision at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future. ”

Frowning, Sun Quan did not respond.

Mrs. Wu said that whoever dares to touch her son-in-law, she will not finish with whomever she wants.

Speaking of which, Sun Quan is also filial, and of course he refuses to easily disobey Mrs. Wu.

What's more, the Cao family's hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Jiangbei, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

After being silent for a while, Sun Quan said: "I have written down what Gong Jin said, but don't act without permission, the Cao family is powerful, and it is indeed not much good to be an enemy of them......"

From Sun Quan's words, Zhou Yu heard that he did not mean to oppose the Cao family.

Sighing, Zhou Yu said: "Wu Hou is so indecisive, but it's going to be a big deal!" ”

If it weren't for Zhou Yu, if someone else said such a thing, Sun Quan would have been annoyed.

When Sun Ce captured Jiangdong, Zhou Yu made countless contributions, and Zhou Yu's performance on the battlefield also impressed everyone in Jiangdong.

admired Zhou Yu very much, and then Sun Ce's last words, asking him to ask Zhou Yu about foreign affairs, Sun Quan did not put his anger on his face.

"It's not that I'm indecisive, it's just that this matter has to be considered in the long run." Sun Quan said: "Whether Cao Zirong will come or not, we are not sure yet. ”

"Please also ask Wu Hou for permission, if he comes, I can act cheaply." Zhou Yu arched his hand and said.

"Mother said before that no one should be unfavorable to Cao Zirong." Sun Quan said: "No matter what Gongjin does, he still has to take care of his mother. ”

Knowing that Sun Quan wanted to stop him and it was difficult to say clearly, Zhou Yu replied: "I will make a decision, and please rest assured that Wu Hou." ”

knew that Zhou Yu was for Jiangdong, and of course Sun Quan refused to chill his heart.

He arched his hand to Zhou Yu and said, "This matter is handed over to Gong Jin, if you really don't have a chance to start, there is no harm in being good friends with the Cao family." ”

"I understand what Wu Hou means." Zhou Yu got up and said, "I'll retire first." ”

Sending Zhou Yu away, Sun Quan let out a long sigh, and he shouted outside the door: "Xingba, you come here." ”

Gan Ning, who was guarding the door, heard Sun Quan greet him and walked into the study.

He clenched his fists and asked Sun Quan, "What does Wu Hou command?" ”

"If Cao Zirong comes to Jiangdong, you will be by his side to protect him." Sun Quan said: "If someone attacks him, he must do his best. ”

Gan Ning responded.

So this arrangement is because Sun Quan is very clear.

If Zhou Yu wanted to kill Cao Shuo, he would definitely not be stupid enough to send assassins to assassinate him.

Whenever there are assassins, it must have nothing to do with Zhou Yu.

Gan Ning stayed by Cao Shuo's side, and he could also let the Cao family see that he did have the sincerity to make friends.

In case Zhou Yu succeeds, he also has something to prevaricate Cao Cao.

After all, he sent someone to protect him, and the person who protected Cao Shuo was still very effective, and if Cao Shuo was still dead in this case, it would have nothing to do with him.

Zhao Yun crossed the river and returned to Xiangyang on the same day, and reported the affairs of Jiangdong to Cao Shuo.

Liu Bei, who was stationed in Jiangxia, also learned that Cao Shuo had courted Sun Shangxiang.

Calling Zhuge Liang to his side, Liu Bei asked: "Cao Zirong also asked Jiangdong for marriage, if he succeeds, Jiangdong will definitely refuse to help me, does Kong Ming have a plan to break this situation?" ”

"The lord is a hero, is it possible that he will be afraid of Cao Zirong?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that Kong Ming hasn't seen Cao Zirong, and he doesn't know his methods." Liu Bei said: "I have read countless people, but I have never seen someone as brazen as Cao Zirong. Not only is he brazen, but he also has some real skills......"

"Don't worry, my lord." Zhuge Liang interrupted Liu Bei: "Even if Cao Zirong wins the Miss of the Sun family in Jiangdong, he will have to pass through the Yangtze River when he returns to Jiangbei." At that time, what will put some people to intercept him, even if he has the ability, how can he escape on the river? ”

Cao Shuo was bent on killing Liu Bei, and of course Liu Bei hated him to the core.

Zhuge Liang proposed to intercept and kill Cao Shuo on the river, and Liu Bei asked, "Kong Ming thinks we have a chance of winning?" ”

"If we are prepared, we have a seven-point chance of winning." Zhuge Liang said: "The lord has only been training soldiers and horses recently, and he will talk about it when Cao Zirong arrives in Jiangdong." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said to Zhuge Liang: "Everything will be arranged by Kong Ming, and you must take Cao Zirong's head." ”

Zhuge Liang responded, and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side: "To intercept and kill Cao Zirong, you have to trouble the two generals." ”

"As long as we can kill Cao Zirong, the two of us are willing to listen to all dispatches." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei responded in unison.

Pang Tong and others were sent to Jiangdong, and Cao Shuo stayed in Xiangyang, waiting for the arrival of the ordnance and navy.

The first to return to Xiangyang was Jiang Gan, who set off a day earlier.

Before he went to see Cao Cao, he went to Cao Shuo's residence first.

"Has Gong Jiang seen his father?" Please sit down Jiang Gan, Cao Shuo asked.

"Cao Gong has gone to inspect the army." Jiang Gan replied: "So I came to see Gongzi first." ”

"Even if my father patrols the army, you should wait until you see him before you can come to see me." Cao Shuo said: "Forget it, when my father comes back, I will accompany you to see him." ”

Cao Shuoken accompanied him to see Cao Cao, apparently to cover up Jiang Gan's fault for not asking to see Cao Cao in the first place.

Jiang Gan hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, son!" ”

"Did you get any news when you went to Jiangdong?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Childe didn't want me to ......" Jiang Gan said in surprise: "I didn't do anything, just caught up with Zhou Yu, and when I went back to see Cao Gong, I really didn't know how to reply." ”

"Doing nothing is a great achievement." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If you do something, it will mess up my deployment." ”

He then asked Jiang Gan, "Did Zhou Yu have any strange words and deeds?" ”

"Returning to the son, there really is." Jiang Gan said: "He tried to persuade me to join Jiangdong, but I refused. That night, Zhou Tai sent him a letter, saying that it was sent from Jiangbei......"

"Have you read the letter?" Cao Shuo hurriedly asked.

"Childe had an order before, although I had the opportunity, I didn't look at it." Jiang Gan replied: "Actually, you should take a look, maybe it's ......"

"Are you sure you haven't seen it?" Cao Shuo interrupted him: "This matter is very important, you can't hide it at all." ”

"If it weren't for Childe's orders, I would definitely watch it." Jiang Gan replied: "Before leaving, Gongzi specially explained this matter, of course I will not do any more superfluous actions." ”

"It's good if you don't see it." Cao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Gan: "Zhou Yu has relaxed his vigilance, and the rest of the things are easy to do." ”

He shouted to the door: "General Deng, go and find out if my father has returned, and once he returns, report to me immediately." ”
