Although Zhou Yu and Lu Su were close friends, their judgments on the general trend of the world were completely different.
Lu Su tended to divide the world into three parts, befriend Liu Bei, and fight against Cao together.
And Zhou Yu plans to destroy Liu Bei and divide the world with Cao Cao!
"So according to my subordinates, we must have good relations with Uncle Liu Huang."
After listening to Lu Su's words, Sun Quan nodded, seeming quite satisfied.
"What suggestions does Zijing have for getting along well with Liu Bei?"
Lu Su thought for a while and said cautiously,
"During the Battle of Jiangling, Uncle Liu's wife was captured by Yang Ling. We might as well marry him. I wonder what Marquis Wu wants?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up.
"This is a good idea, but I wonder whose daughter is suitable for marrying Liu Bei?"
"My subordinates boldly suggest that Marquis Wu might as well marry Sun Xiaomei to Liu Bei."
Zhou Yu has a good relationship with the Sun family and regards Sun Ce and Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang as his biological sisters.
When I heard that Lu Su was going to marry Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei, he was not happy at that time!
"Zijing, are you confused?! My little sister is young and beautiful, and Liu Bei is already in the prime of his life. How can he be worthy of my little sister?"
Seeing Zhou Yu reprimanding Lu Su in front of him, Sun Quan's face darkened and he said coldly,
"Am I the Marquis of Wu, or Gong Jin and you are the Marquis of Wu?"
"Whether I marry my little sister or not is also a family matter of my Sun family! Gongjin, you are too lenient!"
Zhou Yu was startled, and then noticed that Sun Quan's expression was already quite unhappy.
He quickly cupped his hands and said,
"I don't dare. I just think Zijing's proposal is too outrageous..."
"Whether it's outrageous or not, it's me who makes the decision!"
Sun Quan snorted coldly, and when he saw Zhou Yu acting respectfully, his expression softened.
"Whether this is feasible or not can be discussed slowly."
"Let's see. Mr. Zijing, please go and inform Mr. Xianhe and ask him to go back and report to Liu Bei."
"Just say that I invited him to come to Fankou to discuss how to deal with Yang Ling."
"After he comes, let's take a look at his attitude and then make a decision!"
Lu Su bowed his hands and saluted.
"Wu Hou is wise, my subordinates obey your orders!"
After Lu Su left, Sun Quan didn't even look at Zhou Yu and said calmly,
"I am tired, Gongjin, please retreat first."
"Subordinates resign!"
Zhou Yu had no choice but to bow with everyone and then left.
After leaving Sun Quan's camp, Xu Sheng said angrily,
"Mr. Zijing is really confused! How can I, a girl from Jiangdong, marry that bad old man Liu Bei?"
"Yes, how beautiful is Miss Sun? How can she be worthy of that big-eared thief Liu Bei?"
"Captain, you have to find a way to stop this!"
Everyone was talking a lot.
In this defeat of Cao Jun, Liu Bei took the lion's share of the profits, which had already made everyone in Jiangdong unhappy.
Then marrying Sun Xiaomei, who is famous in Jiangdong for her beauty, to Liu Bei, an old man, it will be even more difficult for everyone to accept!
Zhou Yu glanced at the tent behind him and whispered,
"I understand what you are thinking. Liu Bei thinks that the pear blossoms will overwhelm the begonias. How can this be such a good thing?"
"When he comes to attend Wu Hou's banquet as promised, we will take the opportunity to detain Liu Bei."
"When Liu Bei is in our hands, will we still worry about Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others not being obedient?"
After Xu Sheng heard this, he couldn't help stroking his hands and laughing,
"The Governor is indeed a good strategist!"
"You must listen to my instructions and do not spread this matter."
Zhou Yu warned.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Only Ling Tong, standing behind the crowd, had a thoughtful expression on his face.
After they dispersed, Ling Tong did not go towards his tent, but turned back to the Chinese army camp again.
Seeing Ling Tong leave and come back, Sun Quan felt a little strange and said,
"What's the matter with public performance?"
Ling Tong hesitated for a moment and whispered,
"I have something I want to report to Marquis Wu!"
As he spoke, he told Sun Quan exactly what Zhou Yu had just discussed with everyone.
After Sun Quan heard this, he was shocked and angry.
After the death of his elder brother Sun Ce, although Zhou Yu had the merit of supporting him, he had a lot of troops and great power, which had already made Sun Quan suspicious.
In the previous battle with Cao Jun, Zhou Yu raided the rear, cut off Sima Yi's retreat, and ambushed Cao Ren.
With his successive military exploits, Zhou Yu's prestige in the army was already higher than that of Sun Quan.
For example, during the discussion in the camp just now, almost all the generals agreed with Zhou Yu's proposal.
That's fine, Sun Quan never expected that Zhou Yu would go behind his back and plot to arrest Liu Bei!
If Zhou Yu dares to arrest Liu Bei today, how can he know that he will not destroy him tomorrow?
Sun Quan felt deeply threatened!
"Wuhou, Wuhou?"
Ling Tong, who was standing in the hall, shouted several times before Sun Quan came back to his senses.
"I know about this matter. Please don't pass on the public achievements to outsiders."
Sun Quan ordered.
"Subordinates obey orders!"
Seeing Ling Tong's leaving figure, Sun Quan's expression became solemn.
If it weren't for Ling Tong, a younger generation of generals who didn't respect Zhou Yu very much, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about this matter.
Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Gongjin, you are really going too far!
Sun Quan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he pondered for a moment and then ordered,
"Come here, please bring General Youping over!"
Not long after, Zhou Tai came to the camp and saluted Sun Quan.
"I have met Marquis Wu. I wonder what Marquis Wu has ordered?"
"Come forward, you Ping. I have something important to ask you to do."
Sun Quan smiled.
Zhou Tai didn't think much and stepped forward.
After Sun Quan whispered something, Zhou Tai said "ah" and looked at him with a horrified expression.
"Wu Hou, this..."
"This matter is of great importance and cannot be known to outsiders. Therefore, I leave it to you to lead the tiger warriors to handle this matter. Can you do it?"
Sun Quan's eyes were very different, staring at Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai felt a chill in his back and was nervous in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded and said,
"Marquis Wu has given orders, and my subordinates must obey them!"
"That's good!"
Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction and warned,
"Remember to keep your hands and feet clean and don't leave any trouble behind!"
"Here!"
Zhou Tai took the order and left.
After he left, Sun Quan also breathed a long sigh of relief and said to himself,
"I hope this trouble can be completely resolved..."
…
Jiangling City.
"Today's discussion is over. If you have nothing else to do, please go back."
Pang Tong put down the official document in his hand and said softly.
Everyone bowed and were about to disperse when they saw Wei Yan standing up and frowning:
"Military advisor, we haven't seen the general for half a month. How is he doing?"
"The general has been resting in bed and has never seen anyone else. I don't know either."
Pang Tong shook his head.
Ever since Yang Ling ordered the construction of a dock and the reorganization of warships, he used illness as an excuse and never showed up again.
Yang Ling left all the affairs in Jiangling City to Pang Tong.
