"Sun Quan, you didn't stay in Jiangdong and took Xuzhou privately, but you had premeditated evil?!" Chen Gui looked upright and directly questioned Sun Quan's motives for attacking Xuzhou from the perspective of righteousness.
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he finally understood the real reason why Chen Gui was able to bring together so many Xiapi nobles.
Holding together for warmth is certainly one aspect, but if that were the case, the nobles here would not be so united. The reason why these local nobles dared to take risks and confront Sun Quan was, on the surface, to seek benefits from Sun Quan. In fact, it was to deceive Sun Quan and make him careless, so as to delay time. Because, this group of people have better choices——
Cao Cao!
At present, let alone the comparison of the strength of the entire Cao camp and the entire Sun family, at least in Xuzhou, Cao Cao's military strength has an absolute advantage. Once Cao Cao arrives, Sun Quan will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou.
Chen Gui and others, if they can stop Sun Quan at this moment, as long as they can drag Cao Cao's army into Xiapi, then they will have done a great job for Cao Cao. The situation is definitely much better than on Sun Quan's side.
Secondly, Cao Cao is now in control of Emperor Xian. If he wants to be promoted to a higher position or to ask for instructions from the imperial court, he basically has to go through Cao Cao. Following Cao Cao is at least justified.
Third, everyone knew that after Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, he would focus solely on fighting Yuan Shao. In a short period of time, Cao Cao would not be able to take care of Xuzhou at all. In order to avoid trouble, Cao Cao must reuse the Xuzhou nobles.
On the other hand, Sun Quan, after taking Xuzhou, Xuzhou became the main front line of his Sun family. Sun Quan must work hard to ensure that Xuzhou is completely controlled by his Sun family. Not to mention everything, at least in important positions, a major purge and a major change of blood have become inevitable!
Chen Gui must have his own selfish motives, but his selfish motives coincide with those of the Xiapi clan. Not to mention that there were not many fools among the nobles, but even if there were, I am afraid that Chen Gui had successfully persuaded them to see the pros and cons clearly.
"Lü Bu rebelled, and the emperor ordered Cao Cao to join me in conquering Xuzhou. If you dare to resist again, then I can only think that you are Lu Bu's remnants, and I will kill you without mercy!" Sun Quan said coldly.
Seeing that Sun Quan didn't look like he was lying, Diao Chan quickly reminded him softly,
"Zhong Mou, now the selection of troops is at a standstill, and Xiapi is not as good as Guangling. If you really go on a killing spree, I'm afraid there will be no one available, and there will be big trouble!"
Zhi Qian on the other side also followed,
"Amitabha, General Sun, now that Xiapi has been pacified, it's better not to start killing people rashly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will add unnecessary karma and be very detrimental to the general's future. The young monk is familiar with many people across the street. If necessary, the young monk is willing to help Take the initiative to convince them.”
Sun Quan shook his head slightly,
"You are being fooled by letting you pass. These people are waiting for Cao Cao!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice, "If you want to solve extreme incidents, you can only use extreme methods. Calm down the unrest here as quickly as possible and stabilize the situation." The city gate is the top priority.”
Hearing this, Diao Chan's expression changed a few times, and Zhi Qian's expression was also a little bad. After all, he was a disciple of Buddhism, and he still couldn't stand killing.
"Do you really want to kill him?" Diao Chan asked again to confirm, "The right person will get more help, but the wrong person will get less help. Zhong Mou, some things can't be solved by killing."
Diao Chan is a very principled person. Precisely because of principles, sometimes things seem a little changeable. Don't look at this moment, Diao Chan is helping Sun Quan, and if Sun Quan really kills innocent people indiscriminately, then Diao Chan will probably choose to leave like Cihang Jingzhai who retired earlier. Even if Sun Quan continues to cause harm to the common people, Diao Chan may even embark on the road of forgetting love and exterminating relatives for justice!
And those who have similar ideas to Diao Chan obviously include Zhi Qian. Although Zhi Qian does not have the same feelings as Diao Chan towards Sun Quan, he at least knows who should be helped and who should not be helped.
"Benevolence, righteousness and morality are only suitable for the prosperous age of balance. If we were all as naive as you, we would not have the power of the Han Dynasty, and our country would have been destroyed long ago!" Sun Quan couldn't help but said, it is the benevolence of women that will cause trouble.
Unfortunately, no matter what Sun Quan said, Diao Chan just looked at Sun Quan silently. In the same situation, Shi Zimiao would probably support Sun Quan, but the Diao Chan taught by Shi Zimiao himself was a piece of jade that could not tolerate sand.
"Mount the shield soldiers and surround this place for me. Anyone who dares to take action on the other side will be killed!" Sun Quan took a deep breath and finally gave the order.
Upon hearing this order, Diao Chan, who had a straight face, put on a smile again.
"Look, couldn't you find a way to get the best of both worlds?" Diao Chan said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Sun Quan snorted, "It's a bad start. I'm not sure how many people will threaten me in this way in the future."
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. In the future, more people will be willing to follow you. If you want to achieve great things, how can you not be ambitious?" Diao Chan said to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan smiled bitterly. The Duke of Zhou vomited his breasts, and the world returned to its heart. Cao Cao could even tolerate the murder of his son-in-law Zhang Xiu. Such a big heart really helped Cao Cao achieve his hegemony. If you want to gain something, you must lose something first. How could Sun Quan not understand this?
But the problem is, what you get must be what Sun Quan really wants! What Sun Quan likes is pleasure and grudges. Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. As a result, now, I am sacrificing what I like for the sake of Wangtu Hegemony, which I am not interested in and finds it troublesome. Is it worth it for Sun Quan? What is he planning?
Now, seeing Chen Gui's conspiracy succeeding across from him, Sun Quan was so angry that if the game in the spiritual world was still there, Sun Quan would have wanted to hand over all the killings to Chen Gui! Let me give you a taste of what divine punishment is! What does it mean to die suddenly?
But soon, the target of Sun Quan's resentment changed.
"I'm your **** Cao Cao!"
Even someone as gentle and elegant as Sun Quan (when have you ever been polite?) couldn't help but scold him in public.
At this moment, Sun Quan felt hatred and regret. He had obviously reserved a kill specifically for Cao Cao, and he knew clearly that the system upgrade would close the hand after the game was over, so why didn't he just kill Lu Bu before killing Cao Cao!
??????
Time goes back a little while,
Surabaya, shore,
Cao Cao personally led the team and marched quickly. After many hardships, he finally crossed the natural barrier of Surabaya. From now on, there will be no more obstacles between Cao Cao's army and Xiapi City.
When the front troops had just crossed the river, Cao Cao immediately sent people to inquire about the situation in Xiapi City and Sun Quan's army. When the army was halfway through, the intelligence from the front was also transmitted back.
"Chen Gui came to report that Sun Quan had just captured the east gate of Xiapi City!"
"So fast?!" Cao Cao was shocked. Cao Cao thought that his movements were fast enough, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan was faster than him!
