1171 Burning the city and destroying the land

Gu Yong is one of the most important ministers, and he has made a fortune, and many people immediately fell to Gu Yong's side and expressed their approval.

"Gu Yong, what is your intention in bewitching the Holy Admiral to give up the heavy land of Jingzhou to others?" Zhang Zhao was so angry that he pointed at Gu Yong and asked loudly.

"Zhang Gong doesn't care about the suffering of the people, he has to compete with Liu Bei, isn't it against morality, what is it?" Not to be outdone, Gu Yong blurted out.

You?! You?! Zhang Zhao was so angry that his face turned blue, a tingling pain in his chest came, his body shrank down, and he fainted in anger, and Sun Quan unceremoniously ordered someone to send him back to the mansion.

Zhang Zhao is a veteran figure with a very high reputation, but because he advocated surrendering to Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi that year, he has not been allowed to reuse.

Seeing Sun Quan's attitude, everyone shut up, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to make a final decision, an old man who was nearly fifty years old calmly came out and said: "King, forgive the minister, King Hanxing seems to be tolerant and benevolent, indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact, he harbors evil intentions and benefits from it." Don't entrust Jingzhou to this person, Jingzhou will never go back! ”

This person's name is Sun Shao, the word Changxu, in his early years, he was the Gong Cao of Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, and was once called a useful talent by Kong Rong. After Sun Shao defected to Jiangdong, he served as the Taishou of Lujiang, and today's position is the chief of the Che Cavalry.

Such a frontal attack on Wang Baoyu made Sun Quan unhappy, and said with a cold face: "Mr. Changxu, since you oppose the surrender of Jingzhou, do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Cao Pi was eyeing the tiger and waiting for the opportunity to move, and Liu Bei drove straight in and occupied the important place. The minister thought that Jingzhou could not be defended, but it must not be given to Wang Baoyu, and all the millions of people in Nanjun could be moved to Jiangdong, and the city was burned and the land was destroyed. Sun Shao said.

Sun Quan was a little shaken, and it seemed to be a well-thought-out strategy. Gu Yong's face was displeased, and he asked, "How to settle a million people in Jiangdong?" ”

"Attack the land of South Vietnam and enter the land of Baban." Sun Shao said in a deep voice.

As soon as he heard this, Sun Quan couldn't help but shake his head, Wu Chen of South Vietnam and Meng Shu of Baban are both hard bones, how can they defeat lightly, it's nonsense at all!

"The words of Changxu, although far-sighted, are difficult to implement at the moment." Gu Yong said politely.

Sun Shao didn't accept Gu Yong's affection, and said instead: "Gu Gong, you are talking to King Hanxing, but you have received the favor of Cai Wenji?" ”

"Where's that?" Gu Yong said annoyedly.

"Gu Gong and Cai Wenji will be private, don't be aware of everyone." Sun Shao said.

"Wen Ji is the daughter of her mentor Cai Yong, what's wrong with me going to see it?" Gu Yongdao.

"Wen Ji's name is Xiangguo, she is actually the wife of King Hanxing, and when she comes to Jiangdong, she will be a lobbyist for King Hanxing! In the Wen Ji inn, everyone was turned away, but they met with Gu Gong alone, although I don't know what the two of you are talking about, but many people saw Gu Gong go out, with tears in their eyes, and they were touched. Sun Shao said.

"You?!" Gu Yong suppressed questions such as tracking in the end, and asked with a cold face, "What about this?" Why do you need to hide it, you can say it bluntly! ”

"I'm afraid of being bewitched by it, abolishing the public because of selfishness, and forgetting righteousness because of love!"

Gu Yong, who has always been steady, was really angry, threw the hat on his head on the ground, knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, and said in a wailing voice: "The danger of Jingzhou is well known, if Gu Yong has two hearts, he is willing to be hit by five thunders, and he will not die well!" King, Wen Ji has returned, Gu Yong knows that he can't clear himself, and please allow Gu Yong to resign! ”

Sun Quan saw Gu Yong's expression so fierce for the first time, and hurriedly said: "Gu Gong, please get up, why do you say this, I should believe you alone, the situation in Jingzhou can only be broken by the King of Hanxing, and the princes don't need to say much." ”

"Thank you, King!"

Gu Yong was grateful, and was about to get up, but he didn't expect Sun Shao to kneel down angrily, and kowtow in the same way, which was more intense than Gu Yong's: "If the king believes in Gu Gong, the minister can also swear to the sky!" The important land in Jingzhou must not be handed over to Wang Baoyu, otherwise it will be regretted! ”

"That's it!"

This is simply blackmail! Sun Quan was very displeased, and stopped in a cold voice: "Zhang Chengcheng is sick, Changxu might as well go and appease him!" ”

Sun Shao was stunned, knowing that he had been assigned to Zhang Zhaoyi, he got up, glared at Gu Yong, threw up his sleeves and left. Although Sun Quan was annoyed, he loved his talent and did not blame him.

With the development of the situation, Sun Quan finally reversed, Sun Shao said not only correctly, but also every word, but unfortunately it was too late.

Half a month later, Sun Quan sent a high-level official Gu Yong to the Shu army for a new round of negotiations, and Zhuge Liang certainly did not spit lightly, and took Gu Yong to the White Emperor City to meet Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei was still happy, because he received a letter from his little brother Wang Baoyu, Wang Baoyu not only expressed condolences to Liu Bei's condition in the letter, but also sent a good medicine prescribed by Hua Tuo's divine doctor.

These are all appearances, what makes Liu Bei most happy is that his little fourth brother has finally opened his mind, Wang Baoyu solemnly stated in the letter, since they are good brothers, they do not distinguish each other, Yiling, Xiangyang, Shangyong and other places are the territory of the elder brother.

Wang Baoyu also said euphemistically that today Sun Quan is close to him, Cao Pi is in the north, the two must be guarded, and they can only pretend not to help each other for the time being, in fact, the younger brother and the elder brother are still of the same mind.

This letter undoubtedly gave Liu Bei a big reassurance, put yourself in your shoes, Wang Baoyu did not do anything wrong, not to mention that the younger brother had sent someone to save his life before.

Hearing that Gu Yong was coming, Liu Bei cheered up and received Gu Yong politely, and naturally Zhuge Liang was indispensable to accompany him.

"Holy Lord, the two armies have been fighting for a long time, and each has casualties, at this moment, it is better to shake hands and make peace and retreat." Gu Yong was not as stubborn as Zhuge Jin, and he still politely addressed the saint.

"Lu Xun burned more than 100,000 troops, how can we stop our troops if this hatred is not shared?" Liu Bei said unhappily.

"Our army swears to take Jingzhou, there is no need to question it." Zhuge Liang also echoed in a tough tone.

Liu Bei was happy with Zhuge Liang's expression, this is right, don't always look like a peacemaker, a man should be a little strong.

Gu Yong slowed down and said: "If the Holy Lord continues to work hard, my lord King Wu can only break the net, and in the end, he will benefit others." ”

"Am I still afraid that Sun Zhong will not succeed?" Liu Bei was full of confidence and disagreed.

Gu Yong took out the document forged by Cai Wenji, handed it over, and sighed: "If we fight again, we can only lead Wei soldiers into the country, and the land of Jiangdong will not be protected at that time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the Shengshang's side." You and I are fighting, how often is the rise and fall, the strength and weakness are safe! ”

Liu Bei carefully studied the letter, read it several times, and looked suspicious, it did look like Cao Pi's handwriting, but he was not too sure, and handed it to Zhuge Liang for verification.

Zhuge Liang took the paperwork, and he also showed a surprised expression first, read it cautiously a few times, and came over to whisper: "Holy Lord, this is indeed Cao Pi's own letter." ”
