Cheng Pu's reaction, in fact, was expected by Zhou Yu as early as Zhou Yu, the generals of the older generation of the Sun family, whether it was Cheng Pu, Huang Gai or Han Dang, their personalities were very tough, they were the kind of people who would rather die than bow their heads and bend their waists, and begged Jinfan for peace, which was undoubtedly a great shame in Cheng Pu's opinion, not to mention that his old friends Han Dang and Huang Gai both died at the hands of Jinfan, how could he swallow this bad breath?

Zhou Yu sighed lightly and persuaded: "Virtue seeks justice, gentleman revenge, ten years is not too late, now my Jiangdong is no longer able to fight, if we don't end this war as soon as possible and stabilize the internal situation, the country that Bo Fu has worked so hard to build may really be lost in our hands!" ”

Cheng Pu's face turned red, he clenched his teeth, his chest rose and fell violently, and the aggrieved anger in his heart burned him in pain, but he had nowhere to vent.

After a long time, Cheng Pu, who finally accepted this cruel fact, was like a deflated ball, his ass slumped in his position, his eyes were dull, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and muttered: "Ten years? Can I wait for that day? ”

Zhou Yu said: "Ten years is just a symbolic number, in fact, in less than three years, we can recover our vitality, and then launch a counteroffensive against Jinfan to regain everything that originally belonged to us!" ”

Wu Jing frowned and said, "Is what Gong Jin thinks too simple? Sue for peace? Strike? These are just our own wishful thinking, and Wang Chong may not agree, right? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "In this battle, although my Jiangdong suffered heavy losses, but Jinfan's casualties were also not small, Ganning's side, there seemed to be a lot of soldiers and horses, but most of them were just composed of my Jiangdong soldiers and Yuzhang's family private soldiers, and the regular army belonging to Jinfan was actually not much left, and the land of Huainan was now lost forty or fifty thousand troops at once, which was enough to make Jinfan's vitality greatly injured. Therefore, we went to ask for peace, and I am afraid that it is exactly what he wants, and how can he refuse? ”

Ling Cao asked rhetorically, "In that case, then why do we still take the initiative to sue for peace?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Ling Cao deeply: "There are priorities. Wang Chong can afford to drag it out, but we have reached the critical juncture of life and death, if we don't bow our heads first, Wang Chong will continue to fight with us no matter what! ”

Cheng Pu questioned: "But Gong Jin, I have said so much. Do you think the Lord Guild will agree? ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and said with great certainty: "He will, the forbearance of the lord is beyond the reach of others!" ”

Cheng Pu said noncommittally: "Is Gong Jin planning to write a letter to persuade the lord in person?" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Cheng Pu's words were actually telling him in disguise: If you want to persuade yourself, I will never be able to open this mouth anyway.

"Demou Gong misunderstood!" Zhou Yu smiled and explained, "Actually, we don't need to worry about this matter at all, in Wu County, someone will come forward to do it for us!" ”

Jian'an for five years. June 2.

Zhou Yu's speculation was officially fulfilled, and Zhang Zhao, the governor of Jiangdong, and Zhang Hong, who was engaged in it, visited the Marquis of Wu's mansion together to persuade Sun Quan to sue for peace with Jinfan.

Sun Quan sat there with a gloomy expression, his face was red and white, and his whole body was trembling slightly, which could be imagined his anger at the moment.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hongru sat down like an old monk, and did not disturb Sun Quan's thinking, after all, they were just proposers, and in the end, whether they really wanted to make peace with Jinfan. It is still up to Sun Quan to decide.

Halfway through, Sun Quan took a deep breath, endured the grievances in his heart, and asked gloomily, "Zibu." Zigang, is there really no other way? ”

Zhang Zhao sighed: "Unless General Cheng and Gong Jin can defeat Jinfan in the near future and make the people regain their confidence in us, ......"

Zhang Hong said: "According to the report of the sentinel, Wang Chong only insisted on Moling and Shicheng and did not come out, his purpose. It's nothing more than to drag down my Jiangdong army, so as to win enough space for another Jinfan army to move! ”

Sun Quan frowned: "Zigang is talking about Gan Ning?" ”

Zhang Hong nodded, and said solemnly: "Now that the Ganning army has captured Shexian County, and is now heading towards Yu Qian, once Yu Qian is lost, then ......"

Hearing this, Sun Quan finally changed color, because Yu Qian's geographical location is too important, once it is captured by Jinfan, Yuhang, Fuchun, and Qiantang counties will be completely exposed to Jinfan's soldiers, by that time, Jinfan can attack Wu County in the north, and Huiji in the south, advancing and retreating freely, and the hinterland of Jiangdong will inevitably be full of smoke, and the most important point is that at present, Wu County and Huiji County, except for Shanyin, there are still 5,000 troops of He Qi stationed in the rest of the region, as long as Gan Ning wants, He only needs to leave a part of his troops to intercept He Qi's reinforcements, and he can easily lead a large army to drive straight into the city of Wu County.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Sun Quan hurriedly spread out a piece of stationery, picked up the pen and wrote on it, and after a while, Sun Quan threw away the brush, knocked on the seal, folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope, and handed it to the attendant on the side: "Quickly send this letter to Shanyin and hand it to General He Qi, let him lead the troops to settle in Yu Qian as quickly as possible, if you find that Yu Qian has been captured by Jinfan first, then retreat to Yuhang to garrison, and you must not be attacked by Jinfan into Wu County!" ”

"No!" The attendant hid the letter in his bosom and walked away quickly.

Looking at the back of the attendant disappearing around the corner, Sun Quan let out a long breath, and unconsciously, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

Zhang Hong continued to persuade bitterly: "Lord, let General He Qi guard Yu Qianshi is a symptom but not a cure, at the moment my Jiangdong is in turmoil, and there is even a small number of people fleeing locally, and the major families are also ambiguous, if we can't end this war as soon as possible, then my Jiangdong will collapse in internal and external troubles!" ”

Sun Quan raised his head and looked at the ceiling blankly: "It has been less than two months since my brother's death, and Jiangdong has been made into this appearance by me, my Sun Quan is really ashamed of my father and brother's spirit in the sky!" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, in ancient times, there was a hook to practice lying on the salary and taste the guts, with three thousand Yue armor to swallow the state of Wu, now the lord endures the humiliation for a while, and when he recovers, he can make a comeback!" ”

"That's it!" Sun Quan was silent for a long time, closed his eyes, and sighed bitterly, "According to what the two of you said, it's just that Wang Shaolin, will he really agree to our request for peace?" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, with Jinfan's national strength, it is not enough to swallow the entire Jiangdong for the time being, after taking Yuzhang and most of Danyang County, Jinfan has actually reached the limit, think about Wang Chong's wisdom, when he will not refuse our request for peace!" ”

Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that he will open his mouth!" ”

Zhang Hong asked for an order: "Lord, why don't you send an envoy to Shicheng by the minister, and go to explore Wang Chong's tone first!" ”

Sun Quan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's troublesome Zigang!" (To be continued.) )
