Chapter 52: Soochow Zhoulang
"Is that true, sir?" Zhou Yu also wondered if he had heard it wrong.
He naturally also knows the importance of Jiangxia, as long as he can have Jiangxia in hand, he has full confidence to enter Runan and attack Xuchang.
Without the threat of Jingzhou, confronting Cao Cao with his own strength is one of his biggest goals.
Ye Hui said with a smile: "I'm not a person who can talk nonsense. If Liu Qi's son can defeat Cai Mao and successfully become the lord of Jingzhou, what is the matter of Jiangxia, and when the governor wants to go on the Northern Expedition, Jingzhou may not be able to help you. ”
This is simply a great temptation, and even Sun Quan can't sit still.
Zhou Yu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, there were undoubtedly more things he had to consider.
The land of Eastern Wu, after all, can only be Gou'an, if you want to have the right to speak in this troubled world, you must march towards the Central Plains.
But is Soochow really ready now?
"Sir, I need to discuss this matter with my lord alone." Zhou Yu actually came up with such a sentence.
This is obviously treating Ye Hui as an outsider, which is very impolite, but Ye Hui will not care.
After nodding with a smile, Ye Hui went back to his residence and fell asleep.
The next day, Soochow held a court meeting.
Almost all the military generals of Wenchen participated in the discussion of whether to send troops to Jingzhou.
Because of Jingzhou's strength, they still have more than 100,000 troops, and Cai Mao himself is a famous general.
"Everyone, just say whatever you want, the future fate of Soochow is not in my hands, but you!" Sun Quan said something very weighty.
In fact, few of these courtiers in Eastern Wu were from poor families.
They do have the ability, but they also rely on the relationship of the family, and they have become the most influential existence in the territory of Soochow.
Therefore, Sun Quan is not wrong to say that the future fate of Soochow is in their hands. The significance of this territory to them is much greater than that of Sun Quan.
"I don't know what the opinion of Lord Changshi and the Grand Governor is?"
"Yes, I have to ask the two of them, the ancestor said that any big decision of my Dongwu must be approved by them!"
"Well, that's right!"
Zhang Zhao saw that everyone was talking about him, so he also stood up with a smile: "Everyone, in fact, my idea is very simple, sending troops to Jingzhou will inevitably cause huge losses to my Jiangdong children, and it is not the best time at present." ”
"I agree with Changshi's statement, the Jingzhou army is not a vegetarian, and it is rumored that Cai Mao is also a good general, good at water warfare, not worse than my Dongwu."
"The most important thing is that the teacher is unknown, right? We are not the traitor Cao Cao. ”
"Changshi is right, we can't let the affairs of Jingzhou interfere with the development of our Dongwu."
Soon, some people expressed support for Zhang Zhao, these people were basically civil ministers, and they were a faction attached to Zhang Zhao.
Everywhere, there will be factions, small courts, big courts, it is impossible for everyone to have the same opinion.
Zhang Zhao is the civilian-official faction that represents Soochow.
Of course, Zhou Yu is not a vegetarian here.
"Why can't you send troops? Now Jiangxia has 20,000 troops of Huang Zu and 50,000 soldiers of Liu Bei, so Cai Mao is only more than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and it is impossible to resist our joint attack! Moreover, let's not forget, Wentai and Bo Fu both died indirectly at the hands of Liu Biao and Cai Mao, can't my lord take revenge on this? ”
Zhou Yu's words are loud, blood debts and blood repayment, which has been an unwritten rule since ancient times.
Anyone who can't even do this is like a beast.
If the Wenchen faction dares to refute this, it is tantamount to putting Sun Quan on the hat of unfilial piety.
Ye Hui also stood up at this time: "Everyone, I know that you are still thinking about the gains and losses, in fact, last night, I made a promise that as long as Cai Mao can be eliminated and Liu Qi Gongzi can return to power, then the land of Jiangxia can be handed over to Dongwu!" From now on, Jingzhou will also be the most reliable ally of Soochow! ”
"Send Jiang Xia to us?"
"If that's the case, then you might want to think about it!"
"The land of Jiangxia, connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River, is a strategic place!"
The direction of the wind immediately changed, seeing this, Zhang Zhao shook his head slightly, and did not say anything again, as if he had acquiesced to such a condition.
The biggest backbone stopped talking, and those civil servants had no care.
At this time, Sun Quan, as the lord of Jiangdong, finally spoke.
"Uncles and brothers, my Sun Quan is young and doesn't know what righteousness is, but my father and brother died tragically at the hands of Liu Biao and Cai Mao in Jingzhou, this sad thing makes me sleepless at night. Today, our division is strongly sending troops to Jingzhou, which is a good opportunity for revenge, and as long as Uncle Liu and Huang Zu can form a coalition, why are they afraid of Cai Mao's rats? ”
"As for sending troops, I have made up my mind to mobilize thousands of warships, 80,000 elite soldiers, appoint Zhou Yu as the generalissimo, and wave Jingzhou!"
In the court, there was silence for a few seconds, and immediately several generals stood up and bowed.
"My lord is mighty!"
"The lord is wise!"
It's a big deal!
Ye Hui was very satisfied with this result, and just by paying the price of one Jiangxia, he completely reversed the disadvantage.
Before leaving, Sun Quan was still a little reluctant: "Master, I don't know when we will see each other when we go?" There are still many questions that the apprentices don't understand, so it's better for the master to stay in Jiangdong, I will treat him as a national soldier, and point out my shortcomings every day, so that the master and apprentice can be happy, isn't it wonderful? ”
"Haha, you kid!" Ye Hui was amused by him.
Where is he reluctant to himself, it is clear that he wants to tie himself firmly to the boat of Soochow! At a young age, with such scheming, it can be regarded as a teacher.
"The teacher is still young, but you can't live in a corner, in this world, there are still many ignorant teenagers who need my rescue, you are already the lord of Eastern Wu, and there are countless good ministers under your command, and you don't need to be the teacher to guide you all the time."
Ye Hui paused, and said: "But you have to remember that the world is always the world of the people of the world, not you alone!" ”
Sun Quan's identity is very special, as the king of a country, Ye Hui is very afraid that he will do something out of the ordinary, it is not comparable to Kong Ming and Zhou Budo.
"Remember!"
Watching Ye Hui step on a light boat and leave, Sun Quan couldn't help but whisper: "Gong Jin, what do you think of my master?" ”
"Sir is naturally a great talent, but he and us are not the same kind of people." Zhou Yu replied seriously.
"How?" Sun Quan was very curious.
Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said, "He gave me a feeling that he was unpredictable and had no clear goal, but he seemed to have heaven and earth in his mind. Perhaps, this is the difference between us and him, he is the one who plays chess, and we are just a pawn in this turbulent world! ”
