The kings and ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty were very proud, especially Guan Yu who fought against the famous generals of Wei and Wu and still completed a double kill.
But as a martial saint, Guan Yunchang showed no pride on his face, as if defeating Zhang Liao and Zhou Tai together was an ordinary thing for him.
Cao Pi looked displeased at this time, but seeing Zhang Liao's repeated setbacks, he couldn't bear to scold him any more.
Sun Quan was even more speechless. Lu Meng had become so shameless and still failed to help Wei and Wu regain their face.
On the contrary, it made Guan Yu even more famous!
"My second brother is invincible in the world!"
Liu Bei laughed heartily and raised his glass, as did the officials of the Shu Han Dynasty.
"Second brother, this wine is still warm!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Guan Yu drank again, and the three brothers looked at each other and smiled. Today is really a happy day!
Even if Cao Pi and Sun Quan cannot be killed because of morality, wouldn't it be nice to be able to make the two countries lose face?
"It's getting late now, so I'll leave first!"
Cao Pi had a straight face and led his subordinates to leave directly.
"Your Majesty, we will also take our leave first."
Sun Quan returned to his good-natured self, not offending anyone on either side. He bowed his hands and left with Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and others.
When he arrived outside the main hall, Cao Pi had already been waiting for a long time.
"Why is Your Majesty here?"
"Are you waiting for me? It's really flattering!"
Sun Quan asked Cao Pi knowingly, which made Cao Pi very angry.
"Sun Zhongmou, I don't have time to talk in circles with you!"
"Come here today and I just want to ask you one thing!"
"Are you the King of Wu of the Han Dynasty, or are you the King of Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty?"
When Cao Pi saw the situation, Hua Xin and Wang Lang were nervous. Everyone knew that Sun Quan was a weakling, and this was the best thing to take advantage of.
Now Cao Pi insists on making it clear. Isn't this forcing Sun Quan to take sides?
Especially the two countries Han and Wei are equally powerful. Whoever side Sun Wu is on will have the advantage.
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
"My position as King of Wu is given by His Majesty and has nothing to do with Liu Xuande and his son."
After hearing this, Cao Pi just laughed, "I just wanted to invite King Wu to have a drink. Just now, Liu Bei and his son behaved like that, which makes people unhappy!"
Cao Pi's move had a deeper meaning. Regardless of whether Sun Quan was his man or not, he would invite him to drink.
Xiangyang City must be full of spies of the Han Dynasty. As long as the Han Dynasty understands that Sun Quan is a weakling and there is a possibility of defecting to Wei, then his goal will be achieved.
Sun Quan also understood Cao Pi's intentions. He had always been good at dancing, especially now that he believed that both Han and Wei were seeking for themselves.
Whether it was cooperating with Liu Bei in the Battle of Chibi or cooperating with Cao Pi to attack Jingzhou, Sun Quan had a basis for cooperation with both parties.
"How can I refuse His Majesty's invitation? Please!"
The two held hands and laughed, then went to the restaurant. This scene was all seen by everyone in Feiyu.
The news naturally quickly reached the ears of Liu Bei and his son.
"Cao Pi is the son of a national thief. It's okay for him to go against me, a big man!"
"The thing I despise the most is Sun Quan! The rat even vowed to ally with my great Han."
"Now that I'm out of the house, I go to drink with Cao Pi. I'm just a scumbag!"
Liu Bei slammed the table angrily, causing the officials to quickly persuade him: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Brother! You might as well give me some jars of good wine. When I get drunk and kill Sun Quan's son in a daze, brother will seize Jiangdong. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and smiled helplessly: "Third brother, Sun Quan has come to the banquet and must be fully prepared. Even if you kill him, Jiangdong will not be in chaos."
Snapped!
Liu Bei slapped the table again, his main theme was a violent one.
"I am not afraid of enemies such as tigers and wolves, but only allies of jackals!"
"Sun Quan is adjacent to Jingzhou. If I send troops from two directions, what should I do if he attacks Jingzhou again?"
"Sun Quan, this chess piece, has now become a constraint on my great man!"
Liu Bei looked at the ministers, hoping for answers.
"Your Majesty, although Sun Quan has military strength, he also has internal and external troubles."
"He and Cao Pi are just using each other. As long as Cao Pi sees the opportunity to annex Sun Quan, he will never let it go."
"In addition, the people of Shanyue have already resented Sun Quan. If we can provide assistance, it will definitely cause chaos in Sun Quan's rear."
Pang Tong has now learned from Deng Zhi that Cheng Wu is the master of Shanyue.
Since he is one of his own, of course he should give him a helping hand.
What's more, they gave so much food to help the people of Shanyue resist the tyrant Sun Quan. This was a just act.
"What you said is true!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and then looked at his son.
"Mang'er, you always have good ideas, why don't you say anything today?"
"Are we still waiting to beg you for my father?"
Liu Bei snorted, this brat didn't expect that Mr. Pang already had a countermeasure.
"Dad, you banged the table too loudly just now. My ears are ringing."
"Don't be anxious when something happens. Even at such an old age, you are still the same as when you were young."
"If the table is damaged, we will compensate you according to the price!"
Before Liu Mang finished speaking, he heard that Liu Bei had exploded his nest.
"You traitor!"
Liu Mang turned a deaf ear, and the officials had long been accustomed to the way the father and son communicated.
"Everyone, why do you still regard Soochow as an ally?"
"Our momentum is like a rainbow now. After the soldiers have recovered their health, we can march forward, and the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition will be carried out at the same time."
"We already have two armies. Are you still worried about the lack of a third arm?"
Before Liu Mang finished speaking, the generals looked excited and surprised.
"Your Highness, you are talking about a three-pronged army!"
"Doesn't that mean we want to defeat Wu?"
"I have long wanted to beat these Jiangdong rats!"
The emperor and his ministers were very excited, but Liu Mang shook his head and poured a basin of cold water on them.
"You said it's light, but Soochow is so easy to defeat?"
"Not to mention the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and their well-trained navy, this is not worth mentioning!"
"If I hit Sun Quan directly, how will Shang Xiang explain it? Will you be responsible for any family disharmony in the future?"
"It doesn't hurt to sit and talk! Especially your third uncle, you just said you wanted to kill my uncle!"
"Next time, remember to just do it and stop talking!"
When the generals saw that Liu Mang was not planning to go on an expedition, they were all a little confused. They didn't know what His Highness was talking about.
"We want to send troops to the public security port, and even push the warships eastward every day to give Sun Quan the illusion that we will start a war with Soochow at any time."
"A hypocritical person like Sun Quan will definitely not ask questions and will only think wildly in his mind."
"And the real third army is going to attack here. As long as we capture this place, our army can sneak attack Sun Quan from behind!"
Liu Mang ordered people to spread out the map, and everyone saw that His Highness was pointing to a small island with the word "Yizhou" written on it.
"Yizhou? Where is this place?"
"Your Highness is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable. We didn't know there were islands like this near Jiaozhou."
"Wait a minute, we can go all the way north from here to attack Yangzhou!"
Seeing everyone's joy, Liu Bei hurried forward and said, "Give way! I want to see where Yizhou is!"
