Zhao Yi felt a little relieved when he saw the visitor. The appearance of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai basically indicated that he had finally fooled the scholars in this verbal battle. Next, he only needed to give Sun Quan a step down and let him chop with his sword. After meeting the table, the cooperation was basically finalized.
It's just that something Zhao Yi didn't expect happened. After all, Zhou Yu was not the narrow-minded person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms who died of vomiting three liters of blood. Instead, he was a great governor who scolded Fang Qiu and was both civil and military.
"Mr. Kong Ming, I have heard about Wolong for a long time, but today I finally meet him. I'm sorry."
Zhou Yu folded his hands and saluted first, while Zhao Yi hurriedly returned the salute and said: "General Zhou is so polite. Liang is here to discuss cooperation with General Sun, the Lord of Wu, to fight Cao Cao. General Zhou must have known about it."
Zhou Yu had a strange smile on his face. He looked at Zhao Yida and said, "Mr. Kong Ming just refuted my Soochow civil servants with his sharp tongue. It was really wonderful, but there is one thing that seems to have been misunderstood, or maybe it is..." Ignored."
"Huh? What misunderstanding? What did you ignore?"
Zhao Yi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Su aside from the corner of his eye, only to see that the latter's expression was almost as demented as his. It was really unreliable. What on earth was Zhou Yu doing? Isn't he a militant?
"I don't know what General Zhou said. Maybe it was not a misunderstanding and it was not ignored."
Zhao Yi knew that he was still in the role, so he immediately said this ambiguous sentence in Zhuge Liang's tone.
With a smile on his lips, Zhou Yu watched Zhao Yi take two steps closer: "Mr. Kong Ming, the debate just now was really exciting, but it doesn't have much practical use. I wonder if you still remember the purpose of coming to Jiangdong."
"General Zhou was joking. Liang naturally remembered that his trip to Jiangdong was to form an alliance with Soochow and jointly fight against the invasion of Cao's thieves."
"Oh, what Mr. Kong Ming means is to use the power of Soochow to protect himself wisely. Liu Yuzhou can not only avoid Cao Cao's pursuit, but also sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so that I Soochow can consume its military power and reap the benefits."
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat and he secretly wondered why this person didn't play according to the routine? Shouldn't he be speaking to himself? This is different from what is shown on TV.
However, not only Zhao Yi but also Lu Su was sweating. Even Zhang Zhao and others looked at each other. I wonder what Zhou Yu, who had been taking the lead, meant by saying this?
Seeing this, Zhou Yu chuckled and added: "Mr. Kong Ming, please don't pretend to be confused. If you are so smart, don't you understand what I am talking about?"
Zhao Yi yelled in his heart that I know your sister! Just follow my words and persuade your master, Sun Quan, to join forces to fight against Cao Cao. Why do you have to show off, cause more troubles, and make things difficult for others by making lines that are not in the script? Those who add drama without authorization are the most annoying!
Although Zhao Yi cursed Zhou Yu in his heart, he still maintained a calm and calm smile on the surface, saying that everything is under my control.
"General Zhou was joking. Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes. He was a Han official on the surface, but in fact he was a traitor to the Han Dynasty. Since we received the salary from the imperial court, we should be your majesty's side and fight against the rebels. Moreover, my lord Liu Yuzhou was the first to bear the brunt of the battle with Cao Cao. In Bowangpo and Xinye.
Although Dangyang was defeated in the end, it was just a stop-gap measure to temporarily avoid the edge. At this moment, the only way out is for our two families to unite. Just like five fingers, they must be clenched into a fist to exert its greatest power. "
Zhao Yi has now completely broken away from the well-rehearsed routine in his mind and started to express himself freely. He only hopes that Zhou Yu will shut up quickly this time and not make things difficult for him again.
Zhou Yu nodded with a smile, seemingly accepting Zhao Yi's words, but suddenly the conversation changed: "But Mr. Kong Ming only thought about this matter from the perspective of Liu Yuzhou, and did not think about it from the perspective of Soochow. For us, is it better to swallow Liu and fight against Cao than to unite with Liu to fight against Cao?"
"What?"
Zhao Yi was completely furious now, and even Lu Su next to him turned pale. Seeing that no one was paying attention in the main hall, he directly rubbed oil on his soles and ran towards the back room, looking for Sun Quan to come to the rescue.
Sun Shangxiang, who was behind the screen, also looked puzzled.
"What does Gong Jin mean by this? Hasn't he always been in charge of the battle? Why is he trying to embarrass Zhuge Kongming now?"
Ling Yi looked stupid, scratched his head and said: "The Governor must have his reasons for doing this. A very smart person like him must have a reason for doing things."
Above the main hall, Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yi with a smile, but Zhao Yi was a little annoyed by what the other party said.
At this moment, he no longer tried to maintain Zhuge Liang's character, put away his smile, and said with an extremely serious expression: "General Zhou, I know you are joking. Cao Cao's army has been hoarding Jiangling, and now he has Liu Biao's navy. He will be there at any time. Going down the river, if Soochow and my lord Liu Yuzhou fight among themselves at this time, it will only make Cao Cao laugh.
And does General Zhou really think that we have no ability to protect ourselves? What's more important is that my lord sent me to Jiangdong with full sincerity. If General Zhou is still interested in us at this time, then I really have to doubt whether General Zhou's loyalty to the Sun family is just a show. "
Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yi, who had put away his smile, and suddenly said: "Hahaha~ Mr. Kong Ming, don't worry about it. After all, this matter is of great importance. You must ensure that your future allies can help. I heard that Mr. Kong Ming has the power of Crouching Dragon." The title is "God-like in using troops." Cao Cao, who fought in Bowangpo and Xinye, was defeated. I just want to hear Mr. Kong Ming's opinion on this joint fight against Cao Cao?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi took a few steps forward and waved his hand.
"It's very simple. First of all, let's explain that on the surface, although Cao Cao was a Han minister, he was actually a Han traitor. Morally, he lost a bit. What's more important is that Cao Cao's north is undecided, and Ma Chao and Han Sui are still stationed in Hangu. The closure is its unending trouble.
Secondly, most of Cao's troops were based in the north and had no access to water warfare. Now they abandoned their pommel horses and used ships to compete with the Jiangdong people who grew up on the water. This was exactly using their shortcomings to counter the enemy's strong points.
Thirdly, the weather has turned cold now, the horses lack fodder, and Cao Cao's ace tiger and leopard cavalry cannot exert much combat effectiveness.
Fourth, Cao's army was exhausted from long-term battles. The so-called army of one million was actually no more than 150,000 to 60,000.
Fifth, the most important key point of this battle is the navy and ships. Use the invincible navy of Jiangdong to defeat the Jingzhou navy that has just attached itself to Cao Cao. I don’t need to elaborate on which one is stronger and which is weaker. Moreover, Cai Mao and Zhang Yunzhi Liu is even worse than the generals of Soochow, and now it is a new surrender. It is difficult to gain Cao Cao's trust. We only need to use a little trick to tilt the balance of victory a little more towards our side. "
"Okay, well said!"
As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, a voice came from the inner hall. A burly, extraordinary-looking man with a yellowish beard and hair, and a rather exotic appearance came out. No need to guess, this must be Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou. .
"Zhuge Kongming, who serves under Liu Bei, has met General Sun."
At this time, Sun Quan had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, and was receiving a salary from the Han Dynasty. It was reasonable and reasonable for Zhao Yi to call General Sun.
Lu Su stood behind Sun Quan and made a gesture towards Zhao Yi, but he heard Sun Zhongmou say: "Hahaha, I'm so rude. If there were some urgent matters in the house just now, I came too late. Mr. Kong Ming, please don't blame me, Soochow, for neglecting me. Gongjin, you Yes, you must not have eaten yet after the journey, so hurry up and take a seat, Zijing, let the kitchen serve the food, today I am here to take care of Mr. Kong Ming."
Sun Quan was dragged over from behind by Lu Su just to smooth things over and pass Zhao Yi down the steps.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Yi's temper got worse at this time. Sun Quan turned a blind eye to him, folded his hands and saluted, and said: "General Sun, don't worry about the food. Let's revise the matter of cooperation against Cao first. I just answered it." Now that I’ve heard General Zhou’s question, I wonder if General Zhou still has any questions?”
Lu Su angrily stamped his feet behind him, while Sun Quan was slightly surprised. Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yi with intriguing eyes.
Zhao Yize did not wait for Sun Quan to answer and continued: "I know that General Sun and General Zhou still have concerns, but I am indeed here to ask for cooperation today, and my lord Liu Yuzhou is not without the strength to fight. More importantly, General Zhou just said that he would swallow up Liu Kangcao...
Hahaha~ I believe you all don’t know that last night Liang stayed in Chai Sang’s mansion and was almost assassinated. Fortunately, the third lady of the Sun family helped to kill the culprit. This man was still able to survive the siege of Lu Gongji, the third lady and your subordinates. This shows how powerful he is, but he still died in the thunder in his palm.
What does this mean? Who sent this killer? I believe everyone can guess it without me telling him. It must have been sent by Cao Cao. Why did Cao Cao take the risk and send people to chase Chai Sang? Of course they are afraid of me, Sun Liu Alliance, and of me, Zhuge Kongming! "
Zhao Yi spread his hands and exuded an aura of violence he had never seen before. He looked like a wild beast looking for food in the jungle.
He looked around the hall and said: "You must be thinking, what is the thunder in the palm? I'm afraid Kong Ming is stupid. How can a mere scholar kill a powerful enemy? Haha~ Kong Ming is not talented. He accidentally learned the immortal skills when he was young. As long as I Think about it, the lives of everyone in the hall are under my control."
After Zhao Yi said that, the two pistols fell from his sleeves. He raised his arms and pulled the trigger. His body turned in place, and the bullets hit the candlestick, the wine bottle, and the curtains. The sound of banging frightened everyone and they all fell to the ground, not knowing what was going on.
