Chapter 659: Cao Cao's Worries
Sun Quan felt that he was unhappy that he had just suppressed it, and now he was completely up again.
He planned to take Shouchun at the last moment, but Lu Bu returned to obedience, so suddenly.
Now Zhou Yu just finished laying out Jingzhou, and then took Shouchun.
Before he could make this specific strategy and decision, Huang Gai came again, saying that Liu Biao had surrendered to Cao Cao.
I didn't talk about it so suddenly, and I didn't even count myself in it.
"It's... It's already clear. Huang Gai didn't expect Sun Quan's reaction to be so big, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.
"My lord, according to the spies arranged by the Metropolitan Governor, as well as the people who came back from Jingzhou, Liu Biao did submit to Cao Cao." Huang Gai said helplessly.
I just came to deliver a letter, but it turned out to be such a situation, and looking at Sun Quan's posture, it is very likely that it will affect him.
"This Cao Cao's forces are in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and they can't touch Jingzhou at all, why did Liu Biao choose to submit to Cao Cao."
Lu Su was stunned at this time, this is completely unreasonable, even if Liu Biao submits to Cao Cao, but how can Cao Cao support Jingzhou immediately.
Unless Cao Cao raised troops from Yanzhou to take Xuzhou, or Yuzhou, and connected all his spheres of influence.
"It's... This is not clear. Huang Gai saw Lu Su asking, he immediately shook his head and said.
"I don't know, don't check it yet." Sun Quan immediately said angrily.
He couldn't help it, so after hearing Huang Gai's words, he unconsciously became angry, he had never been like this before.
"Yes." Huang Gai was also helpless, and then hurriedly got up to answer, but as soon as he got up, he quickly thought of something.
"My lord, the last general suddenly remembered that the spy had mentioned that Cao Cao had sent Sima Yi and Yang Xiu to Jingzhou."
"I'm afraid that this time Liu Biao suddenly surrendered to Cao Cao, and it has something to do with these two people."
Being reprimanded by this, Huang Gai finally remembered this.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" At this time, Zhou Yu was a little displeased.
He has already investigated Sun Ce's death, and he is just a guest of the Xu family, and he doesn't have such ability at all.
All these clues are inseparable from Sima Yi, and now I have heard Sima Yi's name again.
Of course, Zhou Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and according to what Huang Gai said, this Jingzhou was also taken by Sima Yi.
Huang Gai really felt a little cryless without tears, he should have let Han Dang pass on the news instead of himself.
"This... Metropolitan Governor, this Sima Yi acted in concealment, and he just knew about this matter, so he was like this. ”
"It's Sima Yi again." Sun Quan was also furious, and of course he was clear about Sun Ce's affairs.
"You immediately send someone to find out the news of Jingzhou for me." Sun Quan looked at Huang Gai and said.
"Yes." Huang Gai immediately received the order, and then without saying a word, he left immediately.
Compared with staying here, he felt that it was no problem to send someone to check Jingzhou, or even go to Jingzhou himself.
All of this is much more comfortable than staying in this hall.
"What now?"
After Huang Gai walked for a while, Sun Quan broke the silence, and then looked at Zhou Yu and Lu Su and said.
For a while, Lu Su and Zhou Yu didn't know what to say.
"My lord, now I'm afraid I can only wait and see what happens." Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and replied, such an accident was too sudden.
There was no warning at all, they planned to reap the benefits of fishing, but they saw the distance between Cao Cao and Jingzhou, but now, inexplicably, the distance seems to be not a problem.
"Now if Liu Biao really submits to Cao Cao, and Liu Wei crusades against Jingzhou, Cao Cao will definitely refuse to give up."
"In this way, although it is unexpected to us, if we wait for the opportunity, it may not be without opportunities."
Zhou Yu's gaze was naturally much better than Lu Su's, although the meaning was similar.
But Zhou Yu knows that there will inevitably be opportunities of his own.
If they can't get Jingzhou or Shouchun, I'm afraid they will only be able to reach Jiangdong in the future.
If you want to continue to expand and compete for the world, it will be very difficult.
Although the land of Jiangdong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has the natural danger of the Yangtze River.
However, with Jiangdong as the foundation, if you can't cross the river and stand firm, it will be very difficult to annex the world.
"What the Metropolitan Governor said, it is extremely true, now it can only be seen how Liu Wei captures Jingzhou, if there is a stalemate, we can attack Shouchun with what the Metropolitan Governor said."
"If Liu Wei takes Jingzhou, then we can only stick to Jiangdong." Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and Zhou Yu and said.
It wasn't what he wanted to see, but it was true.
At the beginning, he told Sun Quan that he was full of Jiangdong to watch the world, but he was not so passive as he is now.
In the end, the three of them stopped talking, obviously agreeing with what Lu Su said just now.
However, it was evident from the faces of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu that they were unhappy.
Sun Quan was very unhappy with this sudden situation, while Zhou Yu was unhappy with the situation that changed too quickly, and it was unexpected.
He'd always liked that feeling of being in control, but now it's more and more unexpected.
It's really getting more and more interesting, and it seems that when I first came out of the mountain, what I said was about to come true.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was not too surprised by Lu Bu's submission, because Yang Xiu had already told him before.
However, this time, Cao Cao was also surprised by Yang Xiu's judgment, which proved that it was the right decision to take Jingzhou first.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the final self will really lose the opportunity and be caught off guard by this sudden change.
"Gong Cao, now that Lu Bu has really submitted to His Majesty like this, he must be like a tiger with wings, but in Jingzhou, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu have no news yet."
Cheng Yu on the side looked at Cao Cao unexpectedly, but said worriedly.
If Sima Yi and Yang Xiu can't take Jingzhou, then they will be completely in a passive situation this time.
The original plan will have to be changed.
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, of course he knew what Cheng Yu meant.
This time it did make him feel that the situation was not good, if he couldn't take Jingzhou, then in the end he could only use other methods to open a new situation.
He didn't want to use this method, but if he had to, then he didn't care.
"Hasn't there been news from the Spider Silk Man yet?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked.
"There is no news yet, and now Sima Yi and Yang Xiu also have no news." Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
"Bao, Cao Gong, Sima Yi and the people of Spider Silk have all sent news."
At this time, someone had already come outside and spoke.
After Cao Cao heard this, he naturally quickly let people in, and at this time, even he couldn't care about it so much.
Jingzhou is already some distance from Yanzhou, so their news will naturally be later than Sun Quan.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were a little worried this time, but they didn't know that Sun Quan had already vented.
Cao Cao quickly took the secret letter they sent, and what was written in it was naturally the information he wanted.
After Cao Cao saw it, his original worried look was gone, but instead he smiled.
Although Cheng Yu couldn't see the letter, he saw the change in Cao Cao's expression, and he immediately understood.
"Cao Gong, could it be that Sima Yi and Yang Xiu succeeded?"
"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded after listening to Cheng Yu's words, but he quickly reacted.
This time, it was his expression that made Cheng Yu guess the result in advance, and soon he put away his changes again, just like before.
However, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this time he was indeed a little out of shape.
Your Majesty, your methods are really surprising.
Obviously, although Cao Cao expected Lu Bu to submit to Liu Wei so suddenly, he still minded.
"Now Sima Yi and the others have not only taken Jingzhou and let Liu Biao return to obedience, but Liu Wei's army has also gone to Jingzhou."
Cao Cao said in a cold tone.
