After receiving the letter, Zhang Chao unfolded it and looked at it, but after only a few glances, he understood the content, and handed the letter to Li Ru, the military division of the Sixth Army Corps on the side, with a cold voice.

Li Ru carefully took the letter with both hands, and after unfolding it, he also shook his head lightly, he really doesn't know what Dongwu thinks now, and he talks about family affection while doing it, do you really think that marrying a girl in your family will be subject to you? I still want the Celestial Empire to take two states as dowries, could it be that your daughter is a fairy, can she live forever if she marries?

After the letter was passed down and everyone was assured that they had read it, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became warm.

Everyone didn't expect that Dongwu would be so shameless, not to mention the robbery while the fire was hot, but also justifiably asked that Yuzhou and Xuzhou be assigned to Dongwu, saying that this was considered a dowry for marrying a daughter. At the same time, he also said that in the future, the well water will not interfere with the river water, and the two countries will develop independently, which is simply impossible.

"Wenyou, tell me what you think." Zhang Chao's anger only dissipated after a while, those who do great things must not do things with emotions, otherwise, they are likely to make wrong decisions, if this is the case, it is very likely that under a wrong decision, the loss is the lives of tens of thousands or even more of our soldiers.

was named by Zhang Chao, and after thinking about it, Li Ruluo replied: "Your Majesty, I think that Dongwu will be greatly injured after we defeat the Wei State, and Liu Bei from Xishu is watching from the side, thinking that we should not be able to concentrate on dealing with them, so we dare to speak wildly." ”

"Yes, go on." Zhang Chao nodded after hearing Li Ru's words, this should indeed be the source of the confidence of Eastern Wu, but they don't know that although they have some losses after defeating the Wei State, they are far from being seriously injured. As for Liu Bei of Xishu, if he doesn't trouble them now, he will burn high incense, he doesn't believe it, now they dare to provoke him.

After being recognized by Zhang Chao, Li Ru immediately became much bolder, and continued: "All along, the army of the Celestial Empire has been invincible, but most of them are in the north, and the battle of the Central Plains is only a matter of the past two years, perhaps this has created a delusion for Eastern Wu, thinking that our strength is not how strong, so we dare to provoke us." That is to say, in the face of such people, Confucianism only has one word, and he hurts them with facts and tells them how powerful and terrifying the power of our Celestial Empire is. ”

"Good!" Zhang Chao stood up at this moment, as soon as he slapped the dragon case, "Wen You's words are in line with my heart, and Dongwu looks down on us, so they can be beaten to recognize right and wrong." Come, the army continued to march and went straight to Runan City. There was also a notice to General Lu Bu in Xuzhou, telling them to be careful of Soochow. ”

If you want to turn the situation around, there is only one way, that is, to hurt them and let them know how good the strength of the Celestial Empire is.

The appearance of the Zhang Dynasty was just a small episode, and the army of the Celestial Empire only stagnated for a day before continuing to move in the direction of Runan City.

In the process of advancing, Zhang Chao received messages from Lu Bu and the Waterway Corps in turn.

Xiapi City was also occupied by Eastern Wu, not to mention, they even wanted to sneak attack Haixi City and occupy Guangling County.

Fortunately, he was won by Jia Xu's strategy, and he also hit the other party hard.

Looking at this piece of information, Zhang Chao's original idea of just recapturing Runan City and giving up has also changed. Even if the other party has already made the first move, then he can't blame himself, he didn't take the initiative to provoke Dongwu, but they used soldiers first, and this consequence must be born, at this moment Zhang Chao had the idea of completely destroying Dongwu.

The facts once again told Zhang Chao that the so-called peace between the two countries is only temporary, and if you don't have enough strength, it is only a matter of time before you are swallowed up. And you don't think that you are strong, the other party has surrendered, that is, sincerely, as long as you are given the opportunity, they may bite back at any time. The story of Mr. Dongguo and the snake has been passed down for many years, Zhang Chao definitely doesn't want to do anything good Mr. Hao, for the strength and unity of the country, he would rather be a villain, just like Jia Xu, killing more than 60,000 opponents at one time, only in this way can people feel scared, so that they can't have any resistance.

A series of events changed Zhang Chao's idea of recovering Soochow peacefully, and all this was no less than the arrival of a nightmare for Soochow, which had been peaceful for many years.

......

Xiapi City.

General Ding Feng originally led an army of 100,000 to Guangling, which was to pick up Lü Meng and Huang Gai, who had landed there.

But unexpectedly, after the army was only halfway through the march, it got the news that Huang Gai had been killed and Lü Meng had fled. Knowing that he could not do anything in the occupation of Guangling, Ding Feng hurriedly led the army and began to retreat.

Because communications are not well developed, the incident that happened in Haixi Port has not yet been reported, and even the retreat of Ding Feng's 100,000 troops has not been reported back.

In Xiapi City, Xu Sheng and Sima Yi were still waiting for news from the front.

Sima Mansion in the city.

Sima Yi was standing in the study, staring at the military map in front of him, planning something.

For the Celestial Empire, for Zhang Chao, Sima Yi has never underestimated it, and he does not dare to underestimate it.

This time, Sun Jian, the king of Wu, agreed to the suggestion of his courtiers Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu to take the opportunity to occupy Runan and Xiapi, and Ji'er to seize Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which he did not agree with from the bottom of his heart.

What is the strength of the Celestial Empire? Sima Yi naturally understands that Wei is not strong, and he is still not his opponent, and he wants to make the Celestial Empire ugly with a Dongwu that occupies two states, isn't this self-defeating?

Some people may say that Zhang Chao, the emperor of the Celestial Empire, married Sun Shangxiang of Eastern Wu, which can be regarded as a family bond. But Sima Yi could only smile when he heard such a statement, this kind of family affection at most guaranteed that Zhang Chao could spare Sun Jian's family, as for the other Dongwu people, why should they let it go.

said that since ancient times, few emperors have cedered the city and land because of a woman, not to mention Zhang Chao and six wives.

It was these that made Sima Yi come to the conclusion that Soochow would be defeated early. But now he really can't do anything, and he can't even extricate himself from being in the game.

Don't look at him being given the title of a right army division by Sun Ce, but only he knows that now he doesn't even have the most basic freedom, and the entire mansion, except for General Sun Li and the hundred personal soldiers, are all people arranged by Dongwu to keep an eye on him.

Thinking that he didn't even have the most basic freedom, Sima Yi didn't have a chance to do something else now.

After staring at the map for a long time, Sima Yi felt that the situation was getting more and more severe, and he had no other gains, so he couldn't help but sit back in his chair in a daze.

"Why does the gentleman sigh? Is it lamenting that Soochow is about to be destroyed? But as soon as he sat down, a voice suddenly came from beside him, which made Sima Yi's ass jump up like a long needle.

"Who are you?" At this moment, Sima Yi asked in surprise. He wasn't alarmed by the sudden appearance of someone else around him, but he was scared by what the other person said. This person even saw the result of the development of things, and this person must be good.

"Hehe, sir, don't panic, it doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what Mr. thinks will be the fate of Soochow in the current situation?" The man was in his early thirties, and he had a warm smile that made people feel that there was no danger.

The answer was not asked, Sima Yi's face couldn't help but sink, although the person in front of him didn't look very old, but it really made him not have a trace of contempt, he could appear in front of himself in the mansion, and dare to talk about the future of Dongwu, such a simple thing is a strange thing.

Even if the person who came was unwilling to reveal his identity, Sima Yi naturally would not talk sincerely, he just snorted coldly and said: "This gentleman, no matter who you are, this is my mansion, it is very rude for you to enter here without the consent of the master, now please go out." ”

As he spoke, Sima Yi's eyes seemed to glance out of the study very casually.

Sima Yi's movements seemed to be seen inadvertently, but he was still caught by this man, in fact, he had been staring at this person, and even thought about Sima Yi's possible movements, so he discovered himself.

"Hehe, Mr. must be wondering why I am here, and your own soldiers did not stop me, and even General Sun Li did not appear here." The smile on the man's face did not show the slightest anger because of Sima Yi's unfriendly attitude.

But it was this smiling face that really scared Sima Yi, he had already vaguely guessed it, even if the person in front of him dared to say this, I am afraid that Sun Li and those pro-soldiers would already be more than lucky.

Thinking that he didn't hear any movement at all, something happened to Sun Li, and the identity of the person in front of him would definitely not be simple, and even if people wanted to, it was not impossible to kill themselves immediately.

Considering that his little life is now in the hands of others, his face became ugly at this moment, and he said, "Who are you, General Sun, what happened to them?" ”

"Hehe, I can't say it yet, but what I can tell you is that General Sun and your own soldiers are all very good, and their lives are not in any danger." After answering these with a smile, the man said, "Okay, Mr. Sima, I've told you so much now, can you also talk about your views on the current situation?" Of course, I don't blame anything if I think of anything, on the contrary, if the gentleman is dishonest, hehe..."
