"Of course it's ours!"
Xiahou Dun subconsciously blurted out.
"King Wei, didn't we already agree that Jiangdong belongs to Liu Zhang and Huainan belongs to us?"
"fart!"
Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Dun, wishing he could give him a slap in the face.
"From ancient times to the present, whoever kills something belongs to whomever. Want Liu Zhang to spit out the meat in his mouth? Is it possible!"
"Besides, there is no benefit, why should Liu Zhang send troops?"
Xiahou Dun wanted to refute, but Cao Cao scolded him.
"Back off, you idiot!"
Xiahou Dun was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he clearly felt that he had become Cao Cao's punching bag.
What does all this have to do with him?
The Battle of Guanzhong was planned by Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was fully responsible for the defeat.
Now that Guo Jia is dead, why should he take the blame?
There is no such thing as receiving anger!
"Wei..."
Just as he was about to fall out with Cao Cao, the soldiers cleverly entered and interrupted Xiahou Dun.
"Reporting to the King of Wei, Gu Yong, the envoy from Jiangdong, asks for an audience."
Xiahou Dun was stunned and couldn't help but question softly.
"Gu Yong? What is he here for?"
Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun and pointed behind him.
"Back off!"
Xiahou Dun was about to speak, but was pulled down by Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren.
Cao Cao is currently angry. Isn't he seeking death by talking back?
"King Wei, Gu Yong should be here to seek peace."
Cheng Yu saw Gu Yong's intention and took the initiative to speak.
Cao Cao nodded in approval.
"Haha, suing for peace? It's not that easy!"
"I have no choice but to take out Liu Zhang's anger on Jiang Dong."
With a hard look in his eyes, he gave orders to the soldiers.
"If you don't see me, just push him out and behead him, and give the head to Liu Zhang!"
Just as the soldier was about to leave as ordered, Cheng Yu quickly held him back.
"Wait!"
"King Wei, if you don't want to kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting, why don't you first listen to what Gu Yong has to say."
Cao Cao frowned and shook his head slightly.
"Zhongde, Gu Gu finally eased the relationship with Liu Zhang. If he gets caught, he will inevitably get into trouble."
"It's better to kill Gu Yong and use his head to show Liu Zhang's sincerity."
"As long as Liu Zhang has no reason, he can't start a war with Gu after destroying Jiangdong."
At present, Cao Cao has no choice but to do his best to hold Liu Zhang back.
At least wait for a few more years, wait until the strength has recovered, and then make further calculations.
If you can't delay it, the situation will be very dangerous!
The Wei State is very likely to be destroyed!
Naturally, Cao Cao would not be easily caught by Liu Zhang for such a small trick as secretly meeting the Jiangdong envoy.
"King Wei, this Gu Yong cannot be killed!"
"Why?"
"Gu Yong is the head of the Jiangdong clan and the patriarch of the Gu family. He is also a disciple of the great scholar Cai Yong. If Gu Yong is killed, the Jiangdong clan will definitely hate King Wei and become even more devoted to Liu Zhang!"
Cao Cao thought about it and felt it made sense, so he gave the order to the soldiers again.
"Wait a minute."
"Zhongde, how about driving Gu Yong away? Liu Zhang can't say anything without seeing him alone, right?"
Cheng Yu shook his head in refusal.
"King Wei, Liu Zhang is capricious and has no integrity at all. If he wants to break the contract, he can find 10,000 excuses!"
"Does King Wei want to bet everything on Liu Zhang keeping his promise?"
Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he instantly felt like he had an epiphany.
Yes, it is better to believe that Liu Zhang is honest than to believe that pigs can grow into trees!
Liu Zhang is a person who never talks about his word.
"Zhongde, what do you think?"
"King Wei, since ancient times, there has never been a principle of uniting the strong to destroy the weak. Because after destroying the weak, we will become weak."
"Two weak people can barely resist a strong person. How can a weak person resist?"
"Why..."
Cao Cao sighed, full of helplessness.
He didn't want to either, but he had no choice.
When he first got the news that Sun Quan was going to make an alliance with Liu Zhang to destroy him, he had no choice but to make an alliance to destroy Wu first.
Although it was said that he drank poison to quench his thirst, he finally quenched his hunger and thirst at that time.
"Zhongde, do you want to reunite Gu and Sun Quan?"
Cheng Yu took a breath and smiled.
"King Wei, you can summon Gu Yong first and see what he says before making a decision."
"Maybe Sun Quan is more anxious than us..."
Cao Cao nodded.
"Bring Gu Yong in."
Not long after, Gu Yong entered the house.
After glancing around, he bowed down to Cao Cao who was on the throne.
"Gu Yong, the foreign minister, pays homage to the King of Wei."
"No gifts."
Cao Cao was neither angry nor happy, and his voice was calm.
"Gu Yong, why did you come to see Gu?"
"Has Sun Quan repented, wanted to submit to the imperial court, and raised the people of Jiangdong to surrender?"
"If this is the case, I will reluctantly agree to it and protect the Sun family's life of glory and wealth!"
"Ahem..."
Cao Cao's words almost choked Gu Yong to death.
Where is this?
Before he could say anything, he asked everyone to surrender.
Even if you surrender, do you still have to accept it reluctantly?
"The King of Wei has misunderstood. Duke Wu has no intention of surrendering."
"Then what are you here for?"
Cao Cao's face darkened and he was a little unhappy.
Gu Yong is too ignorant of praise!
"There is news that King Wei may not know, so I came here specifically to tell King Wei."
Cao Cao was a little confused.
"what news?"
Gu Yong smiled.
"A few days ago, Wu Gong and the rebel Liu Zhang fought fiercely on the Yangtze River. Two hundred thousand troops from both sides fought desperately!"
"oh?"
Cao Cao felt a little moved.
Could it be that Sun Quan had won a great victory and came to show off to him?
"How is the result?"
Gu Yong laughed dryly.
"Wu Gong was defeated, 70,000 people were killed, countless wounded, and almost all the warships were lost!"
"What!"
Not only Cao Cao, but everyone in the room looked shocked.
Seventy thousand people died in battle?
This is an extremely rare situation in land warfare.
It must be a great rout that involves abandoning armor and causing chaos and collapse to cause such casualties.
But this is on land, not in the water!
Even if everyone in the room is not proficient in water fighting, they still understand how difficult it is to kill and injure these people in water fighting!
"a ha ha ha!"
Xiahou Dun looked up to the sky and laughed, full of contempt.
"Waste! What a waste!"
"Seventy thousand people died in the water war? What an anecdote! Sun Quan is such a waste!"
"Gu Yong, why do you have the nerve to tell King Wei about such a joke? Are you Jiangdong people shameless?"
Gu Yong smiled and said nothing, always looking at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was also full of doubts.
I can’t figure out whether Gu Yong is crazy or Sun Quan is crazy?
I've heard of people telling others about a great victory, but I've never heard of people showing off after a disastrous defeat.
Could it be that the people of Jiangdong are really shameless?
"Gu Yong, what Gu said just now is valid. Sun Quan wants to surrender, Gu accepts it."
"If we don't surrender, when Jiangdong is destroyed, there will be no chickens or dogs left!"
Gu Yong looked up to the sky and laughed several times, full of disdain.
"King Wei, you really dare to say that!"
"If we surrender, wouldn't it be better for us to surrender to Liu Zhang?"
