Cao Pi led his army south, and the last garrison was here.
This time going south, although Cao Pi is the commander of the army, the main will be Zhang Liao, and the military adviser is Xun You.
Cao Pi had great respect for both of them.
Zhang Liao is the general under Cao Cao's 'Cao', after Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others died in battle, Cao's main generals were fewer, Zhang Liao's position became more prominent, and Xun You needless to say, he was Cao's absolute henchman.
In addition, there are Yu Ban, Lejin, and Xu Yi accompanying the army.
The strength of this battle was as many as 80,000 'elite'.
80,000 'elite' soldiers went south to attack the state of Wu, and the momentum was violent.
Inside the city, inside the barracks.
Cao Pi was wearing armor and was inspecting the soldiers.
Playing with him, Cao Pi is very clear about his position.
Watch more, listen more, and interfere less in the military.
What Cao Pi did the most was to see whether the soldiers were lazy, and then to see how the soldiers' food was, to ensure that the soldiers would not be deducted from military rations.
"Step, step!"
The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind Cao Pi.
"Shizi!"
A soldier shouted.
Cao Pi stopped, looked at the soldier and said, "What's the matter?"
The soldier reported: "The envoys of Wu have arrived, and General Zhang and Xun Junshi ask you to return to the Chinese army's big tent." β
"Got it!"
Cao Pi turned around and left, and quickly walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
After a while, Cao Pi returned to the camp.
Cao Pi's gaze fell on a middle-aged man standing in the tent. When he saw that this person was majestic and heroic, he secretly praised it in his heart.
Standing in the camp tent was Gu Yong.
It wasn't far from Wuxian to Xuzhou, and it didn't take him long to get there.
Gu Yong saluted and said: "Gu Yong, the envoy of the State of Wu, meet the prince." β
In the face of Cao Pi, Gu Yong is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words and deeds are admirable.
After Cao Pi sat down, he stared at Gu Yong and said, "Gu Yong, what did Sun Quan send you to do?"
Gu Yong took out a silk letter and said, "Back to the prince, my lord sent me to send a table of surrender to the king of Wei." β
The soldier took the silk book and sent it to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi opened it and quickly browsed it, with a little surprise on his face.
Go to the king!
Send proton!
Sun Quan actually wanted to claim vassal to Wei.
Cao Pi's brows furrowed, and there was a deep 'groan' look in his eyes.
Sun Quan's decision was somewhat unexpected.
Cao Pi was a little undecided for a while.
He looked at Gu Yong and asked, "Gu Yong, what kind of person do you think Sun Quan is?"
Gu Yong said: "Back to the world, my lord Sun Quan is the master of great talent. β
Cao Pi laughed, shook his head and said, "According to the eyes of this world, Sun Quan is almost the master of inaction. If he is the master of great talent and strategy, isn't there a man of great talent and strategy in the world? β
Sun Quan in history maneuvered between Cao 'Cao' and Liu Bei, left and right, and finally became an emperor.
However, today's Sun Quan is extremely depressed.
Jiangdong's power never expanded, and Sun Quan was repeatedly defeated by Liu Xiu.
Gu Yongzheng said: "Shizi, please listen to the next word." β
"My lord Sun Quan, according to Jiangdong and the tiger looks at the world, is his hero. β
"The six counties are politically harmonious, and the people's hearts are wanted, which is their talent. β
"In the face of Liu Xiu's repeated defeats and battles, his 'sex' character is tenacious, which is his greatness. β
"Now, my lord is stable for the state of Wu, and the people are not affected by the 'wave', and it is a strategy to succumb to the state of Wei. β
Gu Yong talked eloquently, his demeanor was calm, and he said: "From this point of view, isn't my lord Sun Quan just a majestic strategy?"
Cao Pi leaned forward slightly, staring at Gu Yong with a strong appreciation.
Gu Yong is a talented person.
Cao Pi couldn't help but say coldly: "Gu Yong, are you willing to serve this son?"
Gu Yong's face changed, and there was an unhappy look on his face, and he said, "Shizi, please be careful." Below is the envoy of the state of Wu, not a betrayal. β
Cao Pi said: "Wu was attacked by Wei and Chu, is there any possibility of existence?"
Gu Yong said: "So, does the prince refuse to accept my lord's surrender?"
Cao Pi's eyes rolled, but he didn't answer, and said: "Gu Yong, good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters." You're talented, don't you think about your own future?"
Gu Yong flicked his sleeves and said, "Please don't say it again." β
Cao Pishan smiled and said, "That's it, that's it, I don't mention it in this world." β
The more Gu Yong refused, the more Cao Pi felt that Gu Yong was commendable.
Such a talent has wasted money on Sun Quan, and he should serve him and serve the Wei State.
Gu Yong said: "Shizi, if the Wei State is unwilling to accept the Wu State. Then, my lord can only submit to Liu Xiu. Anyway, my lord and Liu Xiu are still in-laws. β
Cao Pi said: "Are you threatening this son?"
Gu Yong said lightly: "I am just stating a fact below. β
There was a hint of jealousy in Cao Pi's eyes, once Wu Guo was submissive to Liu Xiu, it would have a great impact on Wei State.
With Sun Quan's submission, Liu Xiu's power will definitely increase greatly at that time.
Cao Pi said: "Gu Yong, you have to rest in the camp for a while, this son of the world has to think about it, and then give you an answer." β
Gu Yong asked, "How long is the rest?"
Now the situation is in danger, and the war is even more imminent, once the time is delayed, it will be a catastrophe for the Wu State.
Cao Pi said: "At most, there will be a reply." β
"Good!"
Gu Yong should go down.
Cao Pi called the soldiers and left with Gu Yong, and then Cao Pi ordered the soldiers to invite Xun You and Zhang Liao to come to discuss the matter.
Cao Pi is the coach, but in fact, Zhang Liao is the real person in charge.
In this battle, we have to listen to Zhang Liao's arrangement.
Zhang Liao and Xun You entered the tent, bowed to Cao Pi, and then sat down.
Cao Pi opened the 'door' and said: "General Zhang, military advisor, Sun Quan sent an envoy Gu Yonglai to return to Shun, saying that he was willing to be a vassal to the Wei State, and went to the king to send a proton. What do you think about this?"
After Zhang Liao heard this, his face was calm, but he was thinking.
Xun You didn't think it was strange.
This kind of thing is also in line with Sun Quan's style.
Xun You asked, "What does the prince think?"
Cao Pi adhered to the principle of not saying much, he shook his head and said: "For a while, it was difficult to choose between the two of you, so I invited the two of you to discuss. If Wei did not accept Sun Quan, then Sun Quan would inevitably submit to Liu Xiu. β
"When the time comes, won't it be a great enemy for the Wei State?"
"Although the State of Wu and the State of Chu have been 'fighting' for many years, Sun Quan's little sister is also married to Liu Xiu. β
"There is still a layer of in-law relationship between the two parties. β
Based on this, this son was a little hesitant. β
Cao Pi looked at Xun Yu and said, "Military Master, how likely do you think Sun Quan is 'sexual' to fall to Liu Xiu?"
His words seemed to put forward ideas, but they were equivalent to not saying anything.
No decision was given!
No solution was proposed.
Xun You stroked the beard under his chin, and said unhurriedly: "If we don't accept Sun Quan, we will definitely obey Liu Xiu." However, Liu Xiu will not accept it. β
As soon as Cao Pi heard it, he understood that this was equivalent to the answer.
Just, why?
Cao Pi asked, "Military advisor, why are you so sure that Liu Xiu will not accept it?"
