Sun Quan is worried about exactly that.

He can guarantee that there will be no chaos, but no matter what Sun Shao thinks, there is no way to guarantee that in the face of power, not many people can withstand this temptation.

"Find a time, I'll talk to Childe."

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "With my relationship with Bo Fu, Gongzi should be able to listen to my persuasion, you can stabilize him first, and then it depends on what the lord does." ”

"Good!"

What Sun Quan wanted, that's exactly what he wanted.

As Zhou Yu, if he can persuade him, Sun Shao should wake up and let go of other ideas.

"This rumor came very suddenly."

Lu Su said: "It seems that someone is deliberately spreading and pushing like this. ”

"Someone spreading rumors?"

Sun Quan thought about it seriously and thought that what Lu Su said was very right, if someone hadn't deliberately spread it, how could the rumors suddenly appear and spread so widely, and spread throughout Jiangdong in such a short period of time.

It was precisely someone who deliberately spread it, and they repeatedly attacked it, but they couldn't stop this rumor.

It has never been able to eradicate it, nor can it be broken.

Those who spread rumors have sinister intentions!

Zhou Yu had such an idea for a long time, and said lightly: "If I guess correctly, the person behind it must be Cao Cao." ”

"Cao Cao?"

Sun Quan frowned, and then was relieved.

It must be Cao Cao, and it will never be wrong.

Cao Cao's purpose in doing this was very simple, that is, to disturb the Sun family, so that they could not ally with Liu Bei, divide from within them, and then break them one by one, so that they could go south in the future.

"Cao Cao, insidious!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly.

Zhou Yu said: "Pacifying the world, it is difficult to accomplish it with conventional methods, some of the more shameless methods, sometimes they are really effective, Cao Cao is shameless at all, after all, he still has to deal with the invading foreign Hu people, and he must find a way to restrict our development." ”

After a pause, he promised: "The lord can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me, and I will have a good chat with my son, and it will definitely not cause internal turmoil in us." ”

Sun Quan asked, "Then Cao Cao does this, what should we do?" ”

Zhou Yu and Lu Su shook their heads at the same time, not knowing what to do for the time being.

Unless they cross the river to fight Cao Cao, but doing so will cause Cao Cao to be unfavorable to the foreign tribes, once the foreigners come in, burn and loot the Central Plains, they are sinners.

Even if Cao Cao can be defeated in the future, he will be seriously hindered when he goes north to pacify the world.

It's like the current Liu Bei, whose reputation in the north is completely stinky.

If Liu Bei had the opportunity to go north, those northerners would definitely resist violently and not allow Liu Bei to go north.

If they dare to do so, the consequences will be similar.

Sun Quan felt powerless.

Lu Su said: "I will arrange for people to go out, try to find the source of the rumors, I hope I can suppress it, but if we press down one, maybe there will be many more, Cao Cao is determined to let us fall into chaos, not only this means." ”

"Okay!"

Sun Quan had the idea of giving up struggling.

No matter how much it is, stabilize the interior first and then think about the rest.

After discussing it, Sun Quan let them leave first, and then think about what they could do alone.

He felt helpless about these things.

——

Huiji Mountain, a hidden valley.

There was a simple wooden house with a few people sitting in it.

Fan Neng was once Liu Xuan's subordinate and the owner of this wooden house.

In addition, there are Yan Baihu's former subordinates Wang Sheng and Qian Tong.

They had gathered here because they had been guided by a man who was none other than Cao Gu, who was now also in the wooden house.

Cao Gu received Cao Cao's order to come to Jiangdong to concentrate the enemies of the former Sun clan, and prepared to continue to disturb the Sun clan inside Jiangdong.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and now that everyone is there, they are also willing to meet Cao Gu.

I came to the meeting and talked to each other.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng once said that as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will be responsible for all the food, weapons, etc. that your subordinates need."

The conditions given by Cao Gu are quite attractive.

In fact, they have been suppressed by the Sun family many times, and now there are not many people left, and they can basically only hide in the mountains and forests, and fall into the grass, but there are still thousands of people, after all, there are the most displaced people in the troubled times, and it is also the easiest to pull those displaced people into the gang as bandits.

It's just that the bandits also need to eat.

Their food, weapons, etc., did not come out of thin air, and now they are lacking these things.

The appearance of Cao Gu can be regarded as bringing them hope, and it can also bring food and weapons, which is why they are willing to come.

"Presumably, you also want to seek revenge on the Sun family, and you have fallen to such a point, thanks to the Sun family."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"We have common enemies, but in fact, it is best to cooperate with each other and maximize the benefits."

Cao Gu continued.

"After we cooperated, we also took revenge, so how to divide Jiangdong?"

Qian Tong immediately raised his own question.

I heard that they still want to divide the land, and they still want to get Jiangdong?

Cao Gu smiled in his heart, but he couldn't show it, and after thinking for a while, he asked rhetorically: "Even if we hand over all Jiangdong to you, can we keep it?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Sheng asked.

Cao Gu said: "Literally. ”

Or Fan Neng thought more about it, and thought more deeply, and said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng's pacification of the world is already the trend of the times, we can't stop it, and we can't stop it, right?" ”

Cao Gu nodded and said, "That's right! Even if Prime Minister Cao Cheng really gives Jiangdong to you, when the war in the north is over, he will still go south, will you be able to stop it at that time? ”

It must not be stopped.

Wang Sheng and Qian Tong were silent.

Even the current Sun clan can't stop Cao Cao from going south.

They got Jiangdong, but before they had time to develop, Cao Jun came, what to block?

Is it in alliance with Liu Bei?

Maybe Liu Bei is even more unreliable.

Now Sun Quan is in an alliance with Liu Bei, and if they destroy the Sun family, they will destroy the alliance, and they may not be agreed.

Cao Gu continued: "With your little ability, I suggest you don't toss it, isn't it good to be a hero by Prime Minister Cao's side?" Prime Minister Cao Cheng promised that as long as you can help us get Jiangdong, the reward in the future will definitely not be less, and you will still be the founder of the country. ”

The meaning of this is obvious.

In the future, Cao Cao will definitely stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor himself.

This is also the trend of the times, and they can't stop it.

How should I choose?

The opportunity is right here.

Fan Neng smiled and said: "General Cao is right, I don't think I have the ability, and I don't have the ability to compete with Cao Cheng, I am willing to cooperate with Cao Chengxiang." ”

He still knows very well how many skills he has.

Confrontation with Cao Cao is a dead end.

"We're willing to work together."

Wang Sheng and the others gave up struggling and were persuaded by Cao Gu.

Cao Gu smiled and said, "Your choice is very good, I will inform you again when you act." ”
