Cheng Yu has always been ruthless. Compared with the indecisive Wen Qin, anyone who threatens Shouchun is his enemy.
So what if they were once soldiers guarding the city?
Cheng Yu killed wherever he should, showing no mercy at all.
Just like when the army was short of food, he made dried meat from the villagers to use as army food.
The people in the city cried and cried when they saw their relatives being killed. Unfortunately, the people were gone, leaving only sadness.
"My dear Lu Meng, if you want to capture Shouchun, send troops to capture it yourself!"
"The tricks played by those rats are really disgusting!"
"I have lived to this age and don't care about my reputation. I am the one who killed you. If you want revenge, just come!"
Cheng Yu was so courageous that he had already regained the morale of his men. Even Wen Qin was willing to serve as his deputy general without saying a word.
"Old dog Cheng Yu, I swear to kill you!"
"Lü Meng, you rat, don't try to kill someone instead of being killed instead!"
After the two exchanged words for a few times, Lu Meng ordered to protect the people and then returned to the military formation.
"Mr. Cheng, we killed at least two thousand soldiers..."
"Wouldn't the remaining people be in danger?"
"It's better not to do anything but to stop..."
Before Wen Qin finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Cheng Yu.
"Are you stupid with your elm-brained mind?"
"I'm killing this to serve as a warning to others! If the people left behind still want to leave Shouchun, they must be prepared to be killed at any time!"
"They must have been frightened and didn't dare to run away again!"
Just as Cheng Yu said, the Shouchun defenders who were lucky to survive never had other thoughts.
At least Soochow doesn't kill people casually, but Cheng Yu kills people without blinking an eye!
On the side of Shouchun City, a fierce battle between Wei and Wu was going on, and Jia Kui had already gone to Jianye.
…
Jianye.
Sun Quan was leisurely and contented. Whether it was the King of Wu of the Han Dynasty or the King of Wu of the Wei Dynasty, he could jump left and right.
But now both Han and Wei want to win over him, the third child, to weaken the other side.
"Is the Three Kingdoms going to be powerful? Zhuge Liang has already imagined this when he was in Longzhong."
While Sun Quan was thinking, he heard his subordinates coming to report - Cao Wei's envoy Jia Kui had arrived.
As a close minister of Cao Pi, Jia Kui's trip must be to discuss the truce in Shouchun.
"My dear friends, do you think there should be a ceasefire?"
Sun Quan already knew this, and he still habitually consulted his ministers for their opinions.
"Reporting to the King of Wu... Lu Ziming has led his army away, Ling Tong is resisting Zhang Liao, I, Soochow, are determined to win Shouchun!"
Zhang Zhao coughed twice. He was old and his health was getting worse every year.
"Wei Chen also thought that we should continue to attack Shouchun."
"In this way, our allies will seize the opportunity. Maybe the two countries can unite and annex Cao Wei!"
Zhuge Jin is naturally a staunch supporter of the Sun-Liu alliance. As long as Sun Quan defeats Cao Pi, he will definitely support him with both hands and feet.
"We might as well meet with the envoy from Cao Wei first."
Sun Quan's thoughts at this time were different from those of his ministers. What he was considering now was not the gain or loss of a city or a place, but the issue of status!
Now Sun Quan is the king of Wei and Wu, and Cao Pi personally conferred the title, which is a shame.
When Liu Bei didn't proclaim himself emperor, Sun Quan felt that it didn't matter. But now that Cao Pi and Liu Bei have proclaimed themselves emperors one after another, he, Sun Quan, is still the king of Wu, and he always feels inferior.
Sun Quan wanted to proclaim himself emperor, but because he was Cao Pi's minister, he acted arrogantly.
If he proclaims himself emperor directly, he will easily be drowned in the saliva of the people in the world.
However, Sun Quan is still a shameless person, and he still does shameless things, not to mention how awkward it is.
"Jia Kui, pay homage to King Wu of Wei!"
Jia Kui bowed and saluted, which made Sun Quan unhappy.
King Wu added the word Wei in front of him to remind Sun Quan that you are a minister of Wei.
"I wonder if there is any misunderstanding. I heard that Lu Ziming is attacking Shouchun?"
Jia Kui did not raise an army to question the crime, but asked Sun Quan like this to test Sun Quan's attitude.
"Haha, Shouchun is part of Yangzhou, so I sent Lu Ziming to garrison it."
It was clearly a sneak attack, but Sun Quan could brazenly call it a garrison, and Jia Kui also wanted to call him an expert.
"I wonder why the envoy came here this time?"
Sun Quan was a little impatient. He didn't like this tasteless probing. If you have anything to say, just talk to both sides.
"Your Majesty sent me here to remove King Wu from his title."
"From now on, you will no longer be the King of Wei and Wu!"
Damn it!
Zhang Zhao was very angry and shouted: "Who is Cao Pi? Is it possible that he can take away the title of King Wu whenever he wants?"
Sun Quan waved his hand to signal Zhang Zhao to calm down. He always felt that there was something in Jia Kui's words.
"Could this old gentleman be Zhang Zibu, whose reputation spreads throughout Jiangdong?"
"During the Battle of Chibi, you always wanted to take refuge with Emperor Wu, haha!"
Seeing Jia Kui bringing up old matters again, Zhang Zhao was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.
"Slander! Slander! You are slandering me!"
Unfortunately, Jia Kui chose to ignore it and had no intention of confronting Zhang Zhao.
This caused Zhang Zhao to punch the cotton, unable to use his strength.
"My Majesty feels that the King of Wu is so wise and powerful that he should have the same status as him and Liu Bei."
"Now that the three kingdoms are in a tripartite state, how can one be allowed to just claim the title of king?"
"Your Majesty has decided to support King Wu in proclaiming himself emperor and establishing the country!"
Jia Kui saw the urgent ambition in Sun Quan's eyes!
"I don't know, what does King Wu think?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Jin stepped forward and angrily shouted: "Jia Kui, don't even think about deceiving the people and the King of Wu with your evil words!"
"King Wu, our army's ally is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Both the old master and the former master Sun Ce were all ministers of the Han Dynasty that day!"
"It's disrespectful for me to have no choice but to proclaim myself a minister to Wei. If I proclaim myself emperor, wouldn't I have to break with my allies?"
Jia Kui was not an economical lamp. When Zhuge Jin finished speaking, he retorted: "If you are really an ally, why don't you consider the face of King Wu?"
"That day at the Poetry Competition, Liu Bei was the emperor, and your master was just the King of Wu. He was always inferior to others!"
"Now my Majesty, the Great Wei, is willing to support King Wu to proclaim himself emperor, and even more willing to take back the title of King Wu of the Great Wei."
"I won't wait. Have you and your ministers ever thought about the King of Wu?"
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong looked at each other. If Sun Quan becomes emperor, their official positions will rise.
But being emperor is really a good thing for Soochow?
"The envoy should go back to the post house first. I still have to consider this matter."
Qing Nan directly ordered the guests to be seen off, so Jia Kui had to leave first.
"King Wu...this is Cao Pi's poisonous plan to turn you against the Shu Han!"
"Even if you become emperor by then, your relatives will hate you and your enemies will hate you, and you will become the laughingstock of the world!"
Kan Ze gave his advice bluntly, but Sun Quan could no longer listen.
"Being emperor is what I wish for."
"The fertile fields of Soochow are thousands of miles away, and there are also natural dangers in the Yangtze River, and an invincible naval force!"
"How come Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, can become emperor, but I can't?"
"Zi Bu, prepare to draft an edict. I want to proclaim myself emperor!"
