Chapter Twenty-Five: Heartlessness

At the end of November of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Wu Hou Sun Quan sailed upstream by boat and met with Guo Jia on the Jiangling Waijiang River. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The cold wind gusted, the dock in Gangneung was crowded, Guo Jia was surrounded by a group of military generals, and everyone's eyes were focused on the east.

The soldiers who were waiting for the battle gathered by the river, and the flags fluttering in the wind showed their momentum like flames.

Dressed in a brocade robe and a snow-white coat on his shoulders, Guo Jia's eyes were in front of him, and on the endless and turbulent river, a medium and large ship gradually came into view.

Wu Hou Sun Quan was dressed in a gorgeous light blue sleeved robe, standing proudly on the bow of the boat, and the hem of his clothes moved with the wind.

Jiangdong's boat went upstream, riding the wind and waves, breaking the ice without fear, Sun Quan stood alone in the bow of the boat without changing his face, only Lu Meng not far behind him as a foil, and was defenseless.

"Sure enough, giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!"

In the cold wind, Guo Jia was full of appreciation and admiration for the gradually clear figure in the distance.

The generals under his command also put away their contempt for Sun Quan.

Guo Jia invited Sun Quan to come to Jiangyi to see him, but it was outside Jiangling, which was obviously not Jiangdong's territory.

Although it can't be called a Hongmen banquet, it also tests Sun Quan's courage.

Sun Quan not only came, but it can be said that he came alone!

The Taiping army did not have large warships in Jiangling, but if they had to surround Sun Quan's ship and then board the ship to fight, Sun Quan would become Guo Jia's prisoner in the blink of an eye.

A smart person can see the essence of the situation, and Sun Quan knows very well that there is no difference between him coming to bring all the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong this time and not bringing one.

Guo Jia is conquering Jiangdong at the moment, and his division is unknown, but if he insists on going his own way, even if Sun Quan hides in Jianye, Jiangdong will fall.

Therefore, the initiative is in the hands of Guo Jia, how many soldiers and horses Sun Quan brings is useless, rather than taking soldiers and horses to strengthen his courage, it is better to come to meet with Guo Jia single-handedly, in this way, it is not only not to lose Guo Jia in momentum, but also to show the friendly side of Jiangdong and Guo Jia, if Guo Jia kills him now, the world will despise him, and Jiangdong's heart of revenge and grief for the Lord will make the Jiangdong army's combat power explode.

Sun Quan knew the pros and cons here, and he expected that Guo Jia would definitely know it.

It seems dangerous, but in fact it is safe and sound.

Jiangdong's boat stopped half a mile away from Jiangling Wharf, and when Guo Jia saw this, he called Gan Ning to go with him in a small boat.

"Lord, let's be cautious."

Zhang Ren wanted to stop Guo Jia, he was responsible for Guo Jia's personal safety, for fear that there would be an ambush on Jiangdong's ship.

Guo Jia sneered, turned his head and said to everyone: "Sun Zhongmou has such courage, should I let him despise him?" ”

Jumping on the boat, Guo Jia and Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat, and the soldiers rowed the boat and drove away with the wind.

Sun Quan, who was standing proudly at the bow of the boat, saw that Guo Jia was also coming alone, his serious expression was slightly relaxed, and then he personally went to welcome Guo Jia on the boat.

There were no guards on the Jiangdong ship, and after Guo Jia and Gan Ning got on the boat, many brightly dressed people came out of the cabin, all holding musical instruments in their hands.

The piano sounded in unison, and the drums played loudly.

For a time, the Koto ship was like a celebration venue.

"The little nephew has the right to meet the envoy."

In this celebratory atmosphere, Sun Quan solemnly saluted Guo Jia, extremely respectful.

Guo Jia smiled knowingly, Sun Quan's performance was not expected, but the indignation on Lu Meng's face not far behind Sun Quan did not escape his sight.

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, Sun Quan whispered to Guo Jia, and Lu Meng's grievances were unwilling.

Guo Jia didn't know that person was Lu Meng, and only lamented that the generals were always too bloody and lacked scheming.

"Wu Hou is heavy."

Guo Jia smiled faintly and gave Sun Quan a salute in return.

Sun Quan raised his head and smiled at Guo Jia, and a banquet was placed on the bow deck, with a seat on the left and right sides, regardless of priority, Sun Quan and Guo Jia each sat on one side, and then Lu Meng stood behind Sun Quan, and Gan Ning stood behind Guo Jia.

In the cabin, a group of dancing girls came out of the cabin, dancing to the accompaniment of drums and pianos.

Singing and dancing are just improvised entertainment, and neither Guo Jia nor Sun Quan will be distracted by the sound of dogs and horses.

Guo Jia and Sun Quan raised their glasses and drank down, put down the wine glasses, Guo Jia glanced at those dancing girls, and secretly said that Sun Quan was really superior.

There is drum music in his ears and a light dance in front of him, this is the tone set by Sun Quan for this meeting between the two families.

By no means a negotiation!

How can negotiations be so child's play, so easy, so joyful?

This is Jiangdong's current attitude towards Guo Jia.

In order to prevent the emergence of a tense situation, Sun Quan first laid down the atmosphere of the conversation.

As the monarch of the six counties of Jiangdong, Marquis Wu, Sun Quan, lowered his posture in front of Guo Jia, his expression was respectful, and his tone of voice was even softer.

"Counting, Quan heard the name of the envoy twenty years ago, and my father once told me and my brother when he was alive that when he was a talented man in the world, he did not make the king half a one, and the most regrettable thing in his father and brother's life was that he failed to revive the Han family with the envoy. Over the years, the little nephew has guarded the six counties of Jiangdong but is still trembling, on the other hand, he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in begging for thieves and hoes, and I hope that in the future, he will be able to take more care of the little nephew. ”

Guo Jia looked at Sun Quan with a soft face, and said softly: "Back then, I hit it off with Brother Wentai, and I also had a deep affection for the young Bo Fu, but it's a pity that Brother Wentai and Bo Fu both died young, which is the regret of the Sun family, the regret of the Han family, and the regret of the country." ”

Without Sun Jian's battle against Dong, slashing Huaxiong and breaking the tiger prison, the momentum is like a rainbow soldier coming to Luoyang, I am afraid that not many people in the world will look at the Sun family differently.

Without Sun Ce's crossing of Jiangdong and sweeping the six counties, and a large group of heroes and heroes, I am afraid that the Sun family would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangdong.

Sun Quan ascended to the throne, and it seems that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade and enjoyed the success.

But it is not necessarily, the Sun family can fight well, but it also needs a monarch with great power and ambition, Sun Quan is the role that the Sun family needs most after having a territory, soldiers and horses, and the capital of the world.

As for whether he really just wants to keep the six counties of Jiangdong, Guo Jia doesn't break it, over the years, Sun Quan has conquered Jiangxia, and also plans to march north to the Central Plains, and Cao Wei has had a lot of wars in Hefei.

Sun Quan and Guo Jia have little intersection, and Jiangdong Group and Guo Jia Group have little contact, so Sun Quan's opening remarks are reminiscing, but since Sun Jian and Sun Ce are mentioned, he can't help but look sad, his eyes are slightly moist, and Guo Jia is silent with regret.

God has been generous enough to the Sun family, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, are all the top figures in the world, but they are all from a family, whenever the Sun family suffers a heavy blow, after the fall of the hero, its descendants can face the difficulties, not only did not disappear in the troubled times, but also made the Sun family go to the next level, from scratch, from the strongest, the Sun family has gone all the way to cut through thorns and thorns, and the survival of the cracks has often seen the light of day.

Sun Quan raised his arm to cover his face and wipe the corners of his eyes, and then showed a self-deprecating smile at Guo Jia.

"The little nephew is making a fool of himself, so don't blame you."

Guo Jia shook his head and said solemnly: "Wu Hou is a man of temperament, remembering his father and brother's true feelings is really human nature, I have respect, how can I laugh at it?" ”

Sun Quan raised his glass and saluted Guo Jia.

"The old past is not suitable to mention again, the Cao thief is dead, the revival of the Han family is just around the corner, the little nephew respects you a cup, and there is no time to send troops to suppress the thief, I am afraid that the Cao thief can escape safe and sound."

Guo Jia drank with him, put down the wine glass, and the two laughed.

The Battle of Chibi has come to an end, the Sun-Liu Alliance wiped out Cao Wei's 300,000 soldiers and horses in Wulin, and Guo Jia directly killed Cao Cao.

The two laughed constantly, and the atmosphere was harmonious amid the drums and songs.

Although the camps are different, the two still have a sense of heroic sympathy.

"I wonder what the envoy plans to do next?"

Sun Quan asked suddenly, his expression as usual.

The two are allies, and it is too common to ask each other about their strategies.

Guo Jia did not hide it, and immediately said: "I intend to let my soldiers and horses rest in Jiangling for the time being, stay in winter, and after the spring of next year, I will wave my army north to attack Fancheng, and I must not give Cao Wei a chance to breathe." ”

After Sun Quan heard this, his face did not change, but he was thinking in his heart.

How to deal with Liu Bei in Jiangxia, Guo Jia didn't say, and there is no need to say it, because Jingzhou belongs to Guo Jia in the agreement between the two families, and there is no need to report to Sun Quan how Guo Jia handles internal affairs.

And after the winter, attacking Fancheng in the north is a strategy that can be put on the table.

It sounds like Guo Jia is a bit more aggressive.

Cao Cao went south to Jingxiang, and without subduing Jingnan, he waved his army to the east.

Because Cao Cao thought that Sun Quan had been exterminated, Jingzhou and Yangzhou were all his.

The soldiers were fast, Cao Cao set out in July, and followed the expedition to Jiangdong in November, but he didn't want to give Jiangdong time to make more adequate preparations.

Now, Guo Jia does not plan to subdue Jingnan first, but directly takes Fancheng, taking advantage of the opportunity, it must be because Cao Cao has just died, even if Cao Wei can stabilize the situation, the morale of the army must be very low.

Guo Jia is going to take this opportunity to fight and sweep the Central Plains!

As soon as Fancheng is broken, Wancheng is in an emergency, on both sides of the north and south, the Taiping army will go all the way north from Jingzhou, all the way from Hangu to the east, and the Central Plains forces of Cao Wei will be uprooted!

If you don't subdue Jingnan, I'm afraid it's the same as Cao Cao's idea, a quick battle, and after the Central Plains is all in the bag, it will be easy to turn around and subdue Jingnan.

Sun Quan's face was calm, but he was very anxious in his heart, if Guo Jia broke through Fancheng and swept the Central Plains, Jiangdong would die sooner or later.

"Wu Hou, it's better to send troops with me in the spring of the next year, I will attack Fancheng, you will attack Hefei, and the two roads will go hand in hand, and Cao Wei can be broken in the blink of an eye."

Guo Jia spoke out and proposed to Sun Quan.

After hearing this, Sun Quan thought in his heart: Guo Jia wanted Jiangdong to start a war with Cao Wei in the east to prevent Jiangdong from attacking behind when he attacked Fancheng in the north.

With a bitter face, Sun Quan's tone suddenly became humble.

"Don't hide it from you, Jiangdong has just experienced the Red Cliff War, the soldiers are tired and the losses are serious, and the grain and grass required for the war are difficult to spend, I am afraid that in the next few years, Jiangdong will not be able to fight again, and the proposal of the envoy is not unwilling, but really powerless."
