The person chasing after him was dignified and quite elegant.

"In Xia Zhuge Jin, I have seen Prime Minister Cao Cheng. The lord was overjoyed to learn that the prime minister had come to Yangzhou City. Let me invite you to a banquet in the house.

When he came, the lord specially explained that since the prime minister could come safely, he could also return safely. In Koto, the safety of the prime minister is guaranteed. ”

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth trembled, good guy, as soon as he came up, he blocked all his retreats. If you insist on not going, it doesn't matter, the reputation of being afraid of death will be further spread, and Zhongmou's reputation will rise through his own affairs.

"Okay, there's Lao Ziyu. It seems that Lone is going to live in Yangzhou City tonight. Cao Cao glanced at Tianjiang, turned around, and went with Zhuge Jin.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, he was the main battle faction, but it didn't mean that he would use tricks to keep Cao Cao here. If Cao Cao really had an accident in Yangzhou City, it would not only be a good thing for Dongwu, but it would also be very likely to set himself on fire.

"No, I'll have to take a look." Zhou Yu said, turned on his horse, and rushed to Yangzhou City by another road.

Da Qiao wanted to participate in this banquet, but Sun Quan did not invite her. Even if she wanted to help Cao Cao, she was powerless. She understood that in Sun Quan's heart, she was embarrassed by Cao Cao's arrival, and the persuasion faction and the main battle faction fought back and forth in his heart.

Perhaps tonight's banquet will prompt him to make a final decision. But what kind of fate will this decision make Soochow face?

Under the guidance of Zhuge Jin, Cao Cao and his party came to the banquet hall.

At this time, the lord sat on the throne, and Sun Quan had not yet come. However, the escorts attending the meeting were present, and at this time, they were rising one after another to salute Cao Cao.

After everyone finished saluting in turn, Cao Cao started from the first person and said one by one: "Ask Zhang Zhao for internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu for foreign affairs." Today, Zibu and Gongjin Gu have seen each other, and they have also counted a concern in their hearts. ”

"Zijing! You are a person with great talents, a humble person, and you know the truth that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. You are the main battle faction, and you have always been good with Liu Bei, so I don't blame you for this. As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, each for its own master. ”

"Gongji, I didn't expect to see you here. Lone admires the bereaved relatives of Huai Tangerine, and filial people are usually kind people who will not do excessive things. ”

"Gongfu, a veteran of the three dynasties, is a serious and upright person, and governs the army well. Among these people, you have always been unkind to Lonely. Fortunately, this is not a barracks, otherwise, Lone would really worry that you would tie Lone in public to sacrifice the military flag. ”

"Zi Yugu won't say much, Kong Ming's brother, everyone present knows his ability. Lone counted it, one, two, three, four, five, and there was one less, but Lone thought that he would be there soon. ”

The people present in Dongwu were all well-thought-out people, and after they looked at each other, they quickly understood who the person Cao Cao was talking about was.

"Prime Minister, Zi Jing is not talented, I want to ask the Prime Minister for advice." As Sun Quan's confidant, Lu Su naturally knew the purpose of Sun Quan's banquet.

Here, the main battle faction and the persuasion party are half divided, and they are evenly matched. If one of the two sides can win, the words of the winning party are enough to dominate the mind of the lord.

"Zijing, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask! It was still early in the morning, and it should be some time before the dinner began. ”

"Prime Minister, you have raised troops to come here in order to unify Jiangdong. But at the moment, are you bringing a little less armor? It doesn't matter how many soldiers I have in Jiangdong? As it stands, it doesn't seem to be a good situation for you! ”

"Oh? So you're talking about this. That's right, Soochow's strength is indeed much higher than Gu, but this does not mean that Gu is at a disadvantage. In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's military strength should be more than yours! But wasn't he defeated by Lone in the end?

There is a lot of land in the north and many lakes in the south. How can you be sure that Lone has brought such a small number of people? Why don't you guess where the rest of the centaurs are training right now? ”

Cao Cao's words made Lu Su dumbfounded for a while, not because he couldn't find a reason to fight back, but because Cao Cao's last sentence touched his nerves.

"Oops! Zijing! The prime minister has come from afar, can't you talk about some light topics? War is war, banquet is banquet, and today's dinner is specially held for the prime minister, so don't bring up some serious topics. If the atmosphere is ruined, the lord will be unhappy. ”

Zhang Zhao stood up and played a round, he respected Cao Cao, and he was even more jealous of his strength. Jiangdong is in a safe corner and doesn't want to be involved too much. As long as Cao Cao's army does not cross the river, no matter what the conditions, his own side can consider it.

"Old man Zibu, I don't like to hear what you say. I'm a soldier, so I don't have much interest in attending banquets. If it weren't for the fact that I heard that the object of this banquet was Cao Cao, I wouldn't have bothered to come!

In my opinion, the best thing we can do now is to tie him up. Let the world know that whoever dares to offend my Jiangdong will end up like this! Huang Gai's body was full of murderous aura, and with his big drink, the rolling murderous aura radiated to the audience in an instant.

Seeing the murderous Huang Gai, Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Public! Put away your murderous energy! You don't have as much murderous aura as Dian Wei and Xu Chu! You should know the martial arts of the two of them! What do you think would be the difference between victory and defeat if you played against the two of them?

It's not that Lone is deliberately trying to belittle you, it's that you're stupid. Good ideas are great, but showing them in a stupid way will not only make the original good idea a mess, but also put yourself in a passive situation.

Publicly! The social scene is also a battleground. If you can understand this meaning, you won't feel that Lone's remarks are a bit heavy. ”

"The prime minister has a point. Prime Minister, Gongfu is a straight person, what do you have to say, please don't be surprised. Most of us would welcome you to come to Yangzhou City.

We know that the prime minister is a big-hearted person, and killing people without blinking an eye is against the enemy. You have always been kind to your friends.

Prime Minister, the current battle of Tianjiang is really what my literati and scholars do not want to see. For the sake of the people of the Central Plains and for the elders of Jiangdong, do you think this battle of Tianjiang can draw a successful end in other ways? ”

"Gongji, your words are also the voice of Lone's heart. Lone didn't want to start this battle of Tianjiang. But you also know the general trend of the world, after being alone in the north, it is reasonable to go south.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war was raging, and the princes were divided, and it was time for us to end it. Jiangdong is a region with outstanding people and abundant products, and the imperial court can't afford to lose this unique place!

As long as you can persuade Zhongmou to submit to the imperial court, let the imperial court send officials to settle in, and pay the annual taxes on time, you will be relieved of the military power. Thinking about it, the battle of Tianjiang may not be impossible to end here.

At the same time, Lone also guarantees that your vested interests will not be confiscated by the imperial court. ”
