Chapter 267, Divergence

The main hall of Wuhou Mansion was full, and the seat was naturally the young Jiangdong lord Sun Quan, although he was young, Sun Quan was also the new master who had experienced things, and in his every move, the temperament revealed was not green but quite a leader's demeanor, but in front of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, Sun Quan always had a modest face, which was explained to him by his brother Sun Ce before he died.

No matter how far he goes, he can't forget who helped him get away.

Sun Quan understood that Sun Ce wanted to tell him that without these people, Jiangdong would not be able to fight, and without these people, it would not be possible to have a good life in the future.

So at this moment, Sun Quan was sitting in the middle like a well-behaved child, and he was smiling, looking at these strategists and generals under him.

The question has been thrown, and at this time, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu are all frowning.

If you don't say it, I won't say it. Everyone is waiting for someone to come out and speak, and then they are standing up and raising objections, and no one wants to be the one who is opposed by everyone.

Sun Quan was dumbfounded, what's going on, he can speak well on weekdays, but he doesn't talk about it anymore?

Can't let this situation continue to be ossified, Sun Quan can only show a pleading gaze to Zhou Yu.

After receiving Sun Quan's gaze, Zhou Yu could only speak.

"I don't agree to send hostages to Xudu." Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Yu's words came out, Zhang Zhao and others turned their questioning eyes on Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu didn't care what they thought, he just wanted to know if Sun Quan thought the same way as him, and after carefully pondering Sun Quan's gaze, Zhou Yu's tone became more firm, "Lord, although the son can still be reborn, it is your biological flesh and blood after all, and he is still so young, what a cruel thing it is to let a child leave his mother." ”

Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan couldn't agree more. But he didn't show a lot of approval, he had to hold back, to make others think that he was not a lord who only cared about his own selfish desires.

"What about the others? What do you guys think? Sun Quan didn't say anything, and directly threw the question out again.

Zhang Zhao couldn't help it, so he walked out with his beard, he first sighed, and then said slowly, "Lord, now it is also forced by the situation." Cao Cao swallowed Yuan Shao, and now he is the strongest force in the world. If we don't obey him, I'm afraid we will invite trouble. With the power of our Jiangdong, it is difficult to compete with Cao Cao. At that time, it will not be a child who will be lost, but all the land and people of Jiangdong. ”

Zhou Yu cut in his heart, he had already expected that Zhang Zhao would talk about the entire Jiangdong, but he couldn't show too fiercely, after all, Zhang Zhao represented the opinions of the majority.

"Sir has a point. Jiangdong can't have anything, and once something happens, we will all become Cao Cao's prisoners. It's just that if we promise Cao Cao today and really send the proton over, wouldn't it be a disguised admission that we are under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao? Isn't that just giving away the country that Bo Fu had so hard to do? In doing so, how do we raise up the dead brethren? ”

Zhou Yu's series of questions made everyone present quiet down, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Sun Quan had to come out again and play haha, "Yes, Jiangdong can't have anything to do." We just have to find a way to hold Jiangdong now. If Cao Cao really wants to attack, what should we do? ”

As soon as Sun Quan's words came out, Zhang Zhao had already guessed that Sun Quan was reluctant to give up his son.

But if a child can be exchanged for Jiangdong's peace and quiet, this is a good thing.

Zhang Zhao couldn't figure it out, could it be that Cao Cao was so stupid and dared not treat that kid well? Although Jiangdong's strength is not as strong as his Cao Cao, if he tries his best to give him a blow, Cao Cao will also be very painful.

"Lord, have you thought about it? If we send Xiao'er over now, it means that we are friendly, but if we refuse directly, wouldn't it show the world that our Jiangdong and Cao Cao have formed a feud? When the time comes, who will the power of the world be, isn't it clear at a glance? I really don't understand why I want to make a feud with Cao Cao at this juncture. ”

Zhang Zhao's words aroused everyone's consensus, and everyone nodded one after another, muttering in their mouths, yes, yes, you can't take risks like this.

At this time, a person walked out from behind the screen, and it was Mrs. Wu, who had been sitting there for a long time.

The crowd saluted and continued to sit down. Mrs. Wu's face was gloomy.

Can she not be depressed? This group of people was discussing sending her grandson to the enemy camp thousands of miles away. None of these children belong to their family, so they all stand and talk without backache.

Mrs. Wu stared at Zhou Yu with approving eyes and smiled for a while, before she sat next to Sun Quan, pretending to talk to Sun Quan in a homely tone, and said, "Gongjin, this kid, is as old as your brother. I have long regarded Gongjin as my own son. My son, you are not wrong to listen to Gong Jin. Although there is no doubt that all the gentlemen are right, but that child is not a cargo, he is a flesh-and-blood child, how can he say that he will send it. ”

After listening to Mrs. Wu's words, everyone didn't dare to say anything more, since Mrs. Wu said so, then what else is there to argue, now standing up and arguing is openly confronting Mrs. Wu, they are all part-time workers, why be so serious, since the lord doesn't care about the safety of this Jiangdong, then even if they are in a hurry, it is useless.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao also retreated. The whole person is like an eggplant beaten by frost, listless. He's a veteran, so he doesn't care who will have an opinion about him if he doesn't care about his attitude. But in fact, no one dared to have an opinion on him, what he said was not unreasonable, but this time, he lost without considering the deep affection of the flesh and blood.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao is already old, so he naturally thinks that it is best to be safe, on the contrary, Zhou Yu is in the time when he is young and vigorous, he is not afraid of Cao Cao, if there is a kind, come here, don't play any tricks to send hostages in front of him, when the whole world is stupid?

After Sun Quan decided, he announced on the spot that he would directly reject Cao Cao's seemingly perfect arrangement, and from then on, he would never mention anything about sending hostages.

Moreover, Sun Quan also reminded everyone that if Cao Cao was angry because of this incident and really came over, everyone must be fully prepared to deal with any military attack by Cao Cao at any time.

After the words encouraged everyone, everyone's faces turned from cloudy to clear. This kind of thing has always been like this, when the wind blows a lot in one direction, people will naturally fall in that direction.

Sun Quan asked everyone to go back to their respective homes. Mrs. Wu left Zhou Yu behind.

Looking at the handsome and tall young man in front of her, Mrs. Wu burst into tears instantly, and Sun Quan stepped forward to comfort her mother, "Mother thinks of her brother again?" Mother, your body is important. My brother has been back for so long, and I hope my mother won't worry too much. Pay attention to your body. ”

Oh, yes...... The people are gone...... What's the use of worrying now......

It's just that, looking at Zhou Yu, Mrs. Wu can't help but think of her eldest son, if he is still here, how good it would be......
