"Chen Zhen, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, asks to see me, Marquis Wu of the Han Dynasty!"
Outside the city of Xiaoling, Chen Zhen, who finally got Cao Pi to agree, took advantage of the night to come outside the city of Xiaoling to see Sun Quan.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by a hail of arrows, and Sun Quan's roar came from the city wall.
"Traitors, you treacherous people, what are you here to do? What are you here to do!"
On the city wall of the mausoleum, a group of generals and subordinate officials desperately held on to their "king", fearing that Sun Quan would be impulsive and directly open the city gate and rush out to chop Chen Zhen to death with a sword.
During this period, news from Shangyong, Wancheng, and Luoyang has not yet come, but... news from Yidu County has come!
On the second day after Lu Xun withdrew his troops, Chen Dao, who was stationed in Yong'an, and Li Yan behind him, directly led troops to attack Yidu County. Not only did they defeat several cities, they even sent people to send news to Sun Quan.
"Wuling, Yidu, and Nanjun must be returned to the Han Dynasty, return the body of General Yunchang, return the two traitors Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, and return all the troops who surrendered in the Battle of Jingzhou and the Battle of Yiling. ..”
At this time, Sun Quan was forced into a desperate situation by Cao Pi, and he originally wanted to ask Liu Bei to help him tide over the difficulties.
As a result, Liu Bei put in the effort, and all his strength went towards him. This was not polite at all.
That look... really gave Sun Quan a feeling.
"Simply lower it, it will be over!"
If Zhuge Jin and other generals hadn't tried their best to stop him, Sun Quan might have had the urge to surrender to the people of Jiangdong.
And now, this so-called envoy of the Han Dynasty actually dares to appear in front of him?
Villain, treacherous villain!
Looking at Sun Quan pulling and pulling, and then looking at the arrow in front of him, Chen Zhen finally showed a smile.
He didn't think about whether he could succeed this time. He came here just to see if Sun Quan got the news.
Looking at the situation now, Sun Quan has indeed received the news.
Then the rest...
"Chen Zhen, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, pays homage... pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Chen Zhen, who didn't even approach the gate of Xiaoling City, had no choice but to return to Cao Jun's camp. As an envoy of the Han Dynasty, it was reasonable for him to follow Cao Pi.
But every time they saw Cao Pi, Chen Zhen felt a little helpless. As Liu Bei's subordinates, they were all very embarrassed about Cao Pi's identity.
If you don't recognize Cao Pi, you don't recognize Liu Xie, and you can't say that you inherited this great man from Liu Xie.
But if you admit Cao Pi... it's mainly because it's a little disgusting!
But fortunately, these visitors are all very thick-skinned people, and they will not let such a trivial matter affect them.
After seeing Chen Zhen at this time, Cao Pi couldn't help but smile, as if he was... very happy about the fact that he was rejected by Sun Quan.
"Mr. Xiaoqi was turned away? Could it be that Sun Zhongmou was ignorant and misunderstood Mr. Xiaoqi's identity?
If so, can I ask someone to help explain? "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, Zhen, but there is no need to trouble Your Majesty about this matter." Chen Zhen first smiled at Cao Pi, who was obviously in a good mood, and then he gathered his mood and bowed slightly towards him.
"It's not that Marquis Wu misunderstood this matter, it's mainly that... my Majesty received news not long ago.
That Sun Quan betrayed his trust back then, and before the ink of the Xiangshui Alliance was dry, he openly stabbed Jingzhou in the back, seized our Nanjun, and killed our General Guan. We will never forget this bloody feud.
Therefore, General Li Yan and General Chen Dao were sent to Yidu again. Now...most of Yidu County has been conquered. This news must have entered Chiling County.
That’s why Wu Hou did something...hahaha..."
When Chen Zhen said the last part, he couldn't help but laugh. He laughed very freely, as if he was letting out a breath of bad breath in his heart.
But Cao Pi in front of him was stunned on the spot, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether Chen Zhen's words just now were true or just to deceive him.
"What Mr. Xiaoqi just said..."
"Everything is true!" Chen Zhen seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time, and bowed to Cao Pi, "Zhen Zhen has one more thing to do when he meets Your Majesty today!
Back then, Sun Quan and Wei Wang Cao Gong made an appointment to jointly plot Jingzhou. Today, my Majesty is also willing to join forces with you in plotting against Sun Quan.
In the battle of Yiling, my strength as a great man has been exhausted, and I no longer have the strength to stand up. Today, your majesty seizes Jiangling, kills Zhu Ran, destroys Niuzhutun, kills Sun Heng, and is about to go straight to the land of Jiangdong!
My Majesty knows that the world is in danger... so he is willing to work with your Majesty to plan Sun Quan and avenge General Guan! "
After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he saluted again and offered to attack Sun Quan with Cao Pi, hoping to get some food and grass from Cao Pi.
Anyway, Jiangling has been captured now, and Yidu can be entered directly from Jiangling. In this way, Cao's army can withdraw the soldiers and horses attacking Yidu, and then attack with all their strength the Xiaoling County in front of them.
From every aspect, it seems that there are... some problems!
However, Cao Pi didn't think much about it at this time. Just like Cao Cao back then, the opportunity to dominate the world was right in front of him, and he could no longer listen to other people's words.
And some grain and grass are not given to his soldiers and generals. What Chen Zhen wants is nothing more than some grain and grass that Cao Wei does not lack. It doesn't matter if they have any intentions!
As for whether he will really join forces with Liu Bei...
Back then, Cao Cao had someone tell Guan Yu that Jiangdong was about to attack him behind his back. Today, Cao Pi can ask Liu Bei to take revenge and then kill his entire family. So why not?
After thinking of this, a smile even appeared on Cao Pi's face.
Chen Zhen's attitude towards him became much better.
That night, the two sides formally joined forces to "carve up" the land east of Jiangdong. At Chen Zhen's urging, Cao Pi also took out some of the grain and grass and gave it to Chen Zhen to send to Yidu.
At the same time, he ordered the soldiers and horses who were attacking Yidu to stop and just be careful. At the same time, he called back most of the soldiers and horses to attack Xiaoling with him.
As a result, Sun Quan's situation became more dangerous.
Fortunately, Lu Xun returned with his troops, which stabilized Sun Quan's situation, but now Cao Pi still has an absolute advantage.
In Lu Xun’s words.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Pi's unification of the world will truly become the general trend."
It's just that after others heard this sentence, their hearts suddenly became miserable. Only a few people looked at Lu Xun's firm eyes and realized that this sentence might... have other turning points!
And this turning point soon spread to the battlefield in Xiaoling.
