Gu Yong came here again, with humiliation in his heart.
This time, I came to beg for help.
Even though Gu Yong knew that this was a strategy proposed by Lu Xun, Gu Yong was still not calm in his heart.
Weak countries have no rights!
He was born in the state of Wu, and his national strength is weak, so he can't 'straighten' his waist.
What Gu Yong could do was to try his best to fight for Sun Quan's interests.
When he came to the camp, Gu Yong asked for a pass, and Cao Pi soon got the news and asked Gu Yong to enter the Chinese army's tent.
Cao Pi said warmly: "Mr. Gu, we meet again. โ
Gu Yong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Gu Yong, the envoy of the State of Wu, meet the prince." โ
Cao Pi said: "Mr. Gu doesn't need to be polite. โ
After a pause, Cao Pi said, "What news has Mr. Gu brought to this son of the world this time? Are we enemies or allies?"
Gu Yongzheng said: "Returning to the prince, my lord is willing to submit to the king of Wei and cede Danyang County." โ
Cao Pijian raised his eyebrows.
In his heart, he was really a little surprised.
Sun Quan really agreed to cede Danyang County?
This was a real surprise.
The geographical location of Danyang County in Wu State is quite important, once Danyang County is ceded, Wu State will be completely 'exposed' in front of Wei State.
Cao Pi didn't believe that Sun Quan couldn't understand this situation.
Even if Sun Quan didn't understand, wouldn't the courtiers of Wu State understand?
But in the end, Sun Quan chose this path.
The corners of Cao Pi's mouth showed a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, Sun Quan is willing to submit to my Wei State. On behalf of the Wei State, Ben Shizi accepted the submission of the Wu State. โ
Gu Yong asked, "Can the prince be the master?"
This sentence is the most crucial.
Although Cao Pi was the commander of the conquest of Wu, it was not a trivial matter to accept Wu.
He didn't worry about Cao Pi.
So, ask again.
Cao Pi's expression was as usual, and he said: "This son can naturally call the shots, especially after Mr. Gu left Guangling County, this son has already sent a letter back to Yecheng in an expedited manner for 800 miles. His father replied that he accepted the surrender of Wu. โ
Speaking of this, Cao Pi paused.
Cao Pi said: "Of course, my father has one more condition. โ
Gu Yong asked, "What conditions?"
Cao Pi said: "The state of Wu is returned to the state of Wei, and Danyang County must be 'delivered' immediately. Then, Wei will use troops against Chu, and when the time comes, ask Wu to attack Jiangxia and Changsha counties. In this battle, Wu must fully cooperate, otherwise, the army of our Wei State will not mind attacking Wu County from Danyang County. โ
Attacking Wu County from Danyang County, there will be no Yangtze River moat.
For the Wei ** team, this is already a lot easier.
After Gu Yong heard this, not only did he not get angry, but he felt down-to-earth in his heart.
If Cao 'Cao' didn't answer, and Cao 'Cao' didn't have the conditions, Gu Yong felt that this matter was unreliable, maybe Cao Pi had a 'yin' scheme.
Now, when Cao Pi said this, Gu Yong was relieved.
Especially if Wei Guo wanted to go to Danyang County first, Lu Xun had a chance to make a move.
With one blow to take Cao Pi's army, Wei was unable to mobilize a large army to attack Wu in a short period of time.
Gu Yong said: "The conditions of the prince are not harsh, and my lord is also willing to attack the state of Chu." Since the prince agreed, he would return to Wu County immediately and ask my king to withdraw the officials of Wu in Danyang County. โ
Cao Pi said: "Mr. Gu came all the way, and it was tiring to travel and travel, so it was better to rest for a day." Anyway, Wei and Wu have reached an agreement. โ
Gu Yong shook his head and said, "Time is urgent, I don't dare to delay." In particular, Yuzhang County and Lujiang County were attacked by the Chu State, and the pressure on the Wu State was great. โ
When Cao Pi heard this, he rejoiced in his heart.
The state of Wu was attacked by Liu Xiu, and it had reached a moment of crisis.
Cao Pi said: "Guangling County is in the north of the Yangtze River, and if this prince wants to lead the army south to Danyang County, he must cross the Yangtze River." Gu Yong, after you go back, immediately let Sun Quan send a message to withdraw the water army from the Yangtze River, and this son will lead troops to cross the river. โ
Gu Yong said: "Rest assured, my lord has arranged for Lu Xun to wait for orders in Danyang County. In the next trip to Danyang County, inform the news of the union of Wei and Wu, and Lu Xun will go to order the removal of the Yangtze River guard. โ
"Good!"
Cao Pi's face was full of smiles.
Here's your chance!
He Cao Pi led his army south to Wu State, and the opportunity to seize Wu State came.
Cao Pi got up and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Gu is unwilling to serve this son, so let's give it to Mr. โ
Gu Yong hurriedly thanked him, and then left outside the tent.
After Cao Pi sent Gu Yong away, with a smug expression, he came to the big tent of the Chinese army and called Zhang Liao and Xun You.
Cao Pi said: "General Zhang, military advisor, the matter is done. โ
Xun You asked, "Did Sun Quan agree to cede Danyang County?"
Cao Pi nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Sun Quan has already agreed." Now, Sun Quan ceded Danyang County, and our army will be able to cross the Yangtze River. Once the Yangtze River was crossed and Danyang County was collected, it directly attacked Wu County. โ
"Sun Quan pinned his hopes on us to attack Liu Xiu. โ
"Unfortunately, he didn't expect that we would accept his invitation to surrender, and we were only pretending. โ
Cao Pi said with great ambition: "In this battle, we will first capture Wu County and take Wu State, and Liu Xiu will lose the first move. โ
Zhang Liao said: "The son of the world is wise!"
Xun You said: "The plan of the prince is indeed good. Sun Quan wants to surrender, and we will take advantage of the situation. As long as you cross the Yangtze River, it will be easy to take Sun Quan. โ
Cao Pi looked at Zhang Liao and said, "General Zhang, are the troops all ready?"
Zhang Liao said: "Everything is ready, the ships and sailors are ready." As long as the prince gives an order, we can cross the river. โ
Cao Pi nodded and said, "When Gu Yong returns to Danyang County, the people appointed by Sun Quan will remove the water army on the Yangtze River." You send someone to keep an eye on it, and we are ready to cross the river at any time. โ
"Whoa!"
Zhang Liao should go down.
At this time, Zhang Liao was also looking forward to it.
Although Cao Pi's means of crossing the river were somewhat disgraceful, and even pretended to accept Sun Quan's surrender, it was excellent to be able to cross the river.
Xun You said: "The prince has one more thing to do. โ
Cao Pi asked, "What's the matter?"
Xun You smiled and said: "As soon as Gu Yong returns to the Wu State, then the news of Sun Quan's return to the Wei State will inevitably spread overwhelmingly. โ
At that time, Liu Xiu was prone to misunderstand that Wei had broken the covenant. โ
For this reason, the prince needed to write a letter to Liu Xiu, explaining that the Wei State was pretending to accept it in order to destroy the Wu State. โ
"Otherwise, Liu Xiu will go crazy and maybe attack us. โ
Xun You smiled and said, "After Liu Xiu knows, we can have no worries." โ
Cao Pi said: "What if Liu Xiu leaks the news?"
Xun You shook his head and said: "Only we and Liu Xiu know the news, once he leaks it, won't it be on the surface that he has taken the initiative to violate the alliance between Chu and Wei? Moreover, since Jiangxia and Guangling have come and gone, we have already gone south to Danyang County." As soon as you enter Danyang County, everything will be easy. โ
Cao Pi looked admiring and said, "The military advisor is really wise, I'll arrange it." โ
Immediately, Cao Pi wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Jiangxia.
