Cao Chun died in battle!
I don’t know where Sima Yi is hiding!
On the battlefield, Cao Jun was completely in chaos!
Xu Yi and Dianman were confused. They could no longer bear the fear, so they turned their horses and fled!
Just because they felt that the murderous aura in Zhao Yun had changed!
Liu Mang took advantage of Cao's army's chaos and put Zhang Xiu's body away for a proper burial.
As for Cao Chun being split into two pieces, Liu Mang still decided to use the waste.
Liu Mang had no pity for Cao Chun, the so-called famous general.
That day at Changbanpo in Dangyang, Liu Bei led his people across the river, and Cao Chun killed many innocent people!
But it’s not bad for exchanging money!
Liu Mang took advantage of the chaos, met with Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, and returned to Jiangling City together.
Next, is the critical moment when Cao Ren's army arrives and the battle between the two sides begins!
——
Liu Bei and Cao Cao were fighting in Jiangling, and Sun Quan from Jiangdong had already received the news.
Sun Quan has always had both sides, and at this time he had two choices.
The first is to promptly send troops to assist Jiangling to ease relations with Liu Bei.
After all, Sun Quan staged a backstab, not only losing his troops but also losing face to Sun Shangxiang in Chengdu.
The second is to go all the way to the dark side, fight with Cao Cao to the end, and send troops to sneak attack the four counties in Jingnan to disperse Zhao Yun's troops.
It's a pity that after Sun Quan wavered, he chose the third path - not helping each other and watching the fire from the other side.
This made Zhuge Jin quite speechless!
Lu Su is now bedridden and no longer has the ability to interfere in government affairs.
Zhuge Jin was tasked with maintaining the alliance between Sun and Liu.
Yu Gong, Cao Cao is too much stronger than Sun Quan, and those who seek skin from tigers will not end well!
Personally, Zhuge Liang is his brother. How can a brother not think about his brothers?
As a trusted subordinate of Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin decisively took over the heavy responsibility of Lu Su and devoted himself to maintaining the Sun-Liu alliance.
"Now I am watching the fire from across the bank, watching Liu Bei and Cao Cao fighting in full swing in Jiangling!"
"Which side has a chance of winning, we will support that side!"
"Zibu, you gave me some advice before, and it really won my heart!"
Sun Quan entertained the ministers at a banquet. The prosperous land of Jiangdong, even after the failure of Hefei, still did not hinder Sun Quan's enjoyment.
"Wu Hou!"
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but said: "Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao are still in the confrontation stage!"
"Which side I Jiangdong supports is tantamount to providing help in times of need, which is even more impressive!"
"If there is a chance of victory for one side, if we wait to support them, it will just be the icing on the cake and only add to the laughing stock!"
When Sun Quan heard this, his face showed displeasure, but he still knew that what Zhuge Jin said was for his own good.
"Tzuyu, according to your opinion, how should I respond?"
Sun Quan also wanted to hear this confidant's advice.
After all, old foxes like Zhang Zhao may not always speak from their hearts.
Lu Meng subjectively hated Liu Bei's army and always advocated war with Liu Bei.
It's a pity that Lu Su was still able to negotiate in the past, but now that Lu Su has been ill in bed for a long time, Sun Quan only has Zhuge Jin who can negotiate.
"I think we should help Liu Bei!"
"There are three reasons. Please listen to me, Marquis Wu!"
Zhuge Jin mustered up the courage and took the first step. Only now did he understand how lonely Lu Su was back then!
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai were old and dead, and were no longer able to support the government.
As for Zhou Yu's early death, Lu Su's illness, and Tai Shici being tricked into Liu Bei's camp by Wu Hou himself.
"Tzuyu, just say it's okay!"
"Thank you, Marquis Wu!"
Zhuge Jin bowed and saluted, and decided to talk and persuade Sun Quan to restore the Sun-Liu alliance.
"First, Sun Liu is weak, and he is not Cao Cao's enemy when fighting alone! Cao Cao occupies the seven states of the world, as well as the rich land of the Central Plains, so he cannot compete with him!"
"If Liu Bei hadn't restrained him in Liangzhou and Jingzhou, I'm afraid Cao Cao would have already had the intention to go south and annex Soochow!"
After Zhuge Jin said this, he secretly looked at Sun Quan's expression, but unfortunately his blue eyes didn't show any expression.
"Secondly, Liu Changqing is Wu Hou's sister-in-law! No matter what, the princess can also be used as a buffer!"
"In the future, the son born to the princess will be the nephew of Marquis Wu! How can Marquis Wu ignore family ties and defect to Cao Cao if we are not close to each other?"
Zhuge Jin used family affection to argue the case, but Sun Quan remained unmoved.
From his treatment of his eldest brother Sun Ce's descendants and Zhou Yu's orphans and widowers, it can be seen that this person has no concept of family affection!
"Third! The Marquis of Wu defeated Cao Cao at Chibi, and there has always been a rift with Cao Cao! What if Cao Cao brings peace to the world in the future, and what should he do if he causes trouble to the Marquis of Wu?"
"On the other hand, our army fought with Liu Bei, and both sides won and lost. Liu Bei has a kind heart and is a member of the Han Dynasty, so he will not embarrass the Marquis of Wu!"
Speaking of vital interests, Sun Quan's eyebrows finally eased. He felt the dangers of cooperating with Cao Cao and the benefits of joining forces with Liu Bei.
"Tzuyu, why can't I rule the world?"
Sun Quan smiled and looked at Zhuge Jin, who quickly knelt down and kowtowed!
"Wu Hou has the intention to annex the world, so he should cooperate with Liu Bei and defeat Cao Cao together!"
"Now Cao and Liu are fighting in Jiangling. Zhang Liao and Yue Jin are all under Cao Ren's command. It's the time when Hefei is empty!"
"If Marquis Wu can capture Hefei, he can go north to plot against the two states of Xu!"
Zhuge Jin wasted no time just to convince Sun Quan not to be Liu Bei's enemy again!
Even if you attack Jingzhou, what will happen?
The Jiaozhou Corps is ready to provide support at any time. When the time comes, along with Nanhai County, they may even swallow up your Danyang County territory!
"Zhuge Ziyu's words are not unreasonable, but I, Jiangdong, should wait for the price and sell!"
"There is no benefit in supporting Liu Bei!"
"Marquis Wu might as well send an envoy to discuss with the Jingzhou garrison!"
Zhang Zhao spoke in time and asked Zhang Zhao if he was unsure about internal affairs. His words could still have an impact on Sun Quan.
"Zibu's words are quite reasonable."
"I can help Liu Bei, at least to get benefits."
As soon as Sun Quan said this, Zhuge Jin only had four words in his mind - short-sightedness!
It is obvious that sending troops to Hefei can not only attack the territory, but also sell the face of the allies, so why not do it?
If you insist on putting all your interests in front of you, what kind of businessman and philistine is this?
"Please tell me, Marquis Wu, I am willing to go to Jiangling and discuss with Zhao Yun in person!"
"Ceding the four counties of Jingnan, I will attack Hefei and disperse Cao Cao's troops!"
call……
Want the four counties of Jingnan in one fell swoop?
Even as a minister of Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but scolded the Marquis of Wu in his heart for speaking loudly!
"Tzuyu will go there in person, and Zhao Yun will definitely agree."
Lu Meng sarcastically said: "It's a pity that Guan Yu is arrogant, so what? After Jiangling is defeated, he still needs my help from Soochow!"
Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly, "Marquis Wu, I think that asking for the four counties of Jingnan in one go is really too much!"
"You might as well ask for some food and supplies... Since we are an alliance, we shouldn't put too many interests on the table..."
Snapped!
Sun Quan slapped the table angrily and glared at Zhuge Jin.
"Zhuge Ziyu, are you teaching me how to do things?"
