"I love you."
Zhu Rong's words instantly changed the atmosphere of the scene.
Originally, when Meng Huo saw that Wu Tu Gu was also defeated, he was somewhat gloating in his heart, but at this moment, the two former competitors suddenly became angry with each other.
This woman is not simple!
Sun Quan took a deep look at Zhu Rong. The good situation he had managed well was shattered by this woman's words. Is it possible to say that Zhu Rong didn't do it on purpose? Even if the barbarian land is really open, even if it is love at first sight, even if Zhu Rong really confesses love at first sight, is she a person without emotional intelligence?
If she really liked Sun Quan and really wanted Sun Quan to like her, then she would not want to cause trouble to Sun Quan, let alone say such things in front of two admirers!
However, it’s exactly what you want!
Sun Quan smiled. Zhu Rong might have thought that Sun Quan wanted to subdue Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu, just like the usual style of leaders from the Central Plains. The Central Plains is a land of etiquette. What they want is surrender, not killing. They beat you, not to kill you, but to make you obey him.
Therefore, Sun Quan deliberately made excuses to keep people here, and also deliberately showed force in front of them. In Zhu Rong's view, he just wanted to conquer Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu, so Zhu Rong used some tricks and killed them as soon as they showed signs of it. destroy.
"We Central Plains people don't like to be direct. If you say you like me, then stay and let's talk slowly." Sun Quan replied to Zhu Rong, and then turned to Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu, who had malicious faces towards him. "As for you two, if you want to challenge me again, I will accompany you at any time."
Of course, in order to prevent the two reckless men from saying anything about challenging them now, Sun Quan said first,
"I'm going to Xudu immediately. If you're not convinced, you can follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Zhu Rong frowned as he watched Sun Quan leave. As soon as he left, the three people in the room immediately began to quarrel.
Zhu Rong was wrong.
Conquer? Sun Quan is not that naive. Zhuge Liang's capture of Meng Huo seven times was certainly a good thing for a while, but in fact, when he got the chance later, Meng Huo still rebelled!
Sun Quan didn't have the patience that Zhuge Liang did. Even if he did, it wouldn't make much sense in terms of the final effect. The Sun family has been at war with Shanyue for many years, and Sun Quan knows better than anyone else that it is not easy for these barbarians to truly surrender.
That’s why Sun Quan said earlier – make friends! Support!
It’s not easy for you to make a Nanman obey, but making friends is definitely sincere. When a friend is in trouble, it is common in the history of the Southern Barbarians to stab someone at their own expense.
Of course, just being a friend is not enough. Your friend must have enough rights and status, so you need support. Aren't these two people going to compete for the leadership of the Ugo Kingdom? Sun Quan believes that there are more than just the two of them as candidates, so Sun Quan will help them. There are many valuable people in the Central Plains, right?
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Relationships need to be cultivated and take time. Sun Quan didn't want them to submit, he just wanted them to stay. Just because Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu were both straight-minded and easy to fool, it didn't mean that Zhu Rong, a smart man, was also easy to fool. Sun Quan believed that if Zhu Rong insisted on leaving, Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu's opinions would definitely be invalid, so Zhu Rong's clever confession played into Sun Quan's hands.
At this moment, these three people could no longer find a reason to leave.

the other side,
"Yang Feng, Mr. Yang, right?" Diao Chan and Dou Yuru appeared in front of Yang Feng.
Yang Feng's pupils shrank, and then he lowered his head, seemingly sighing, but actually thinking about what to do quickly.
"I admire you."
He, Yang Feng, was not a famous person in the Central Plains before. It was not until he went to the Southern Barbarians that he became somewhat prosperous. Therefore, when Diao Chan directly said his name, Yang Feng knew that he was not recognized, but that everything about him in Nanman had been clearly investigated.
How terrible! That's not the prosperous Kyushu of the Central Plains, it's a barbaric land! Are there people from Jiangdong? !
"Mr. Yang, can I ask you something?" Diao Chan said.
"Excuse me, miss." Yang Feng looked up, having already made up his mind.
"Why do you want to unite with foreigners and harm your compatriots!" Diao Chan's tone was cold, and Dou Yuru was playing with a throwing knife with a half-smile, and the invisible oppression came instantly.
Yang Feng can be regarded as a person. Even though his back is already wet, his expression remains unchanged.
"I don't know who the girl is, but please tell Mr. Sun that Yang Feng is here to surrender!"
Diao Chan and Dou Yuru looked at each other. Before coming, they had thought that the people from the Central Plains would be more aware of current affairs than the Southern Barbarians, but they didn't expect that they were so aware of current affairs! The three barbarians were immediately betrayed.
They all talk about coercion and inducement, but this is not even the use of coercion, let alone inducement.
In fact, it's not that Yang Feng has no backbone, but that he was caught off guard when his name was directly mentioned at the beginning. Of course, more importantly, Jiangdong is too powerful today!

Xudu is Cao Cao's base camp and a fortified city. Yes, from an architectural perspective, it was a fortified city, but in fact, Xudu was the easiest city to capture.
Most of the princes and nobles are greedy for life and afraid of death. At that time, Dong Zhuo hurriedly moved the capital before losing the capital at Hulao Pass. Later, Cao Wei also moved the capital to Yecheng. This is the same reason. When facing war in the capital of a country, the first thing to think about is never to fight, but to escape or surrender.
In the past, this kind of battle was Sun Quan's favorite. He didn't need to do anything, he just had to stand guard at the city gate. After a while, someone would naturally take the initiative to secretly communicate with him and help him open the city gate.
However, this time the person in Xudu City was none other than Xun Yu. Of course, even Xun Yu can't help. It's good if he can defend it for a month at most.
Yes, within one month, Xun Yu announced in the city that the Jiangdong Army would retreat within one month! If he didn't retreat, he would go down and open the city gate himself!
Where did Xun Yu's confidence come from? 1. The Jiangdong Army is fighting on two fronts and has insufficient food and grass. It will soon be unsustainable. 2. In Xuzhou, Jiangdong has encountered a strong enemy, and it is difficult for them to take care of themselves.
These two pieces of information were not only widely circulated in Xudu City, but also spread to the Jiangdong Army camp outside the city through Xun Yu's tactics.
In the past two days, Qiao Xuan was under great pressure. Although Sun Quan's letter arrived in time, Qiao Xuan was relieved that he did not have to attack Xudu himself, but the news from Xudu still made Jiangdong soldiers panic.
There is no need to talk about the matter of food and grass. Qiao Xuan originally thought that the incident in Xuzhou was a rumor, but he didn't expect to get some clues now. Based on Qiao Xuan's intelligence network, he has only gotten an uncertain piece of information so far, so why is it already known to everyone in Xu Du? Obviously, this is a rumor that Xun Yu deliberately released in advance, but this rumor will soon come true.
However, this is not where Qiao Xuan really feels pressure. All the problems he faces will soon be taken over by Sun Quan. What really kept Qiao Xuan awake was: he seemed to have made a big mistake!
