656. Chapter 656
Gan Ning's straightforwardness made Sun Quan difficult for a moment, and his face also darkened, and he said coldly: "I don't have this intention, but if the Jingzhou navy can come in time, the Jiangdong army will not be defeated."
Sun Quan said it was his inner feelings. If the Jingzhou naval army arrived in time, he would not have to send troops north to intercept Cao's rations and ships. At least the Jingzhou naval army could do it for him. In this way, the Cao army would not dare to attack so blatantly at night.
Although the reason is this, there are also unreasonable points here. For example, why didn’t the Jiangdong Army wait for the Jingzhou Navy to arrive before heading north together?
Gan Ning was very dissatisfied and stood up and said angrily: "After receiving the order from the governor of the state, I immediately sent troops to Hefei, traveling day and night. The journey that was originally only nine days long before we arrived, we arrived in less than seven days and didn't even take supplies along the way. I am so sincere, why would Mr. Wu be dissatisfied?"
Seeing that they had a quarrel, Lu Su quickly smoothed out and said, "General Gan has misunderstood. The Marquis of Wu is not dissatisfied with the Jingzhou navy, but is deeply regretful that the two families failed to cooperate in joint operations."
"I am also very sorry, but to be clear, the defeat of the Jiangdong Army is not the responsibility of the Jingzhou Army. We did not agree on a day to meet. We could only do our best. I did my best. If the Marquis of Wu is still dissatisfied, we can appeal to our provincial governor."
Sun Quan sneered: "I really want to talk to Liu Zhoumu about this."
At this time, Gan Ning finally understood what Sun Quan meant. He wanted to put the responsibility for defeat on his head to cover up his incompetence. Gan Ning was furious, bowed with a blue face, turned around and strode away.
Lu Su was very anxious and hurriedly followed him out and advised Gan Ning: "General Gan, please calm down. My Marquis of Wu was sad because of the death of General Taishi, and his emotions were a little unstable. It was not that he was rude to the general. Please don't be too concerned about it."
Gan Ning sighed, "Governor Lu doesn't need to persuade me anymore. I am just a general under the command of the provincial governor and I am ordered to send troops. If the Sun and Liu families join forces next time, as long as the provincial governor has an order, I will still do my best and will never abandon the public for personal gain. But I also want to make it clear to the provincial governor that we will do our best this time. It is not our responsibility to defeat the Jiangdong army. Please forgive me."
Lu Su was helpless and had to send Gan Ning out of the camp. He hurried back and forth. Sun Quan was walking back and forth in the tent with his hands, his expression calm and he was not angry. He sighed slightly, "Why is Wu Hou like this?"
Sun Quan looked at the tent with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he said coldly: "What am I doing? I know very well in my heart. If Liu Jing cannot bear the responsibility for defeat, would I still have to bear it? Zijing, if you sit in my position, you will understand my difficulties."
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "But this will affect the alliance between the Sun and Liu families."
Sun Quan shook his head, "He never really came to help me, nor did I really help him, but just used each other. If he doesn't want to help me, then he won't think I will help him next time. That's it. Zijing shouldn't persuade me anymore."
Seeing that Lu Su was determined to turn the blame for the defeat on the Jingzhou army, he felt helpless and full of bitterness of ineffective persuasion.
The next morning, hundreds of large Jiangdong ships arrived on the Yangtze River. Seventy thousand Jiangdong troops boarded the ship one after another. The fleet sailed eastward and returned to Jianye. Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the Jiangdong army fleet away. He bit his lips tightly. Sun Quan's actions made him feel extremely disappointed.

After saying that, Cao Cao turned around and left. When he reached the door, he heard Fu Shou's cold voice, "You are so arrogant today. Will Liu Jing spare your Cao family in the future?"
Cao Cao was shocked all over, turned his head and stared at Fu Shou with sharp eyes. After a while, he snorted heavily, turned around and quickly left, and walked out of the palace room. He stopped and said to Hua Xin: "Send her to the old palace of Xudu tonight overnight. No harm is allowed to hurt her. Provide her with ordinary concubines, but one thing is that no one is allowed to contact her."
"I obey the order!"
After Cao Cao gave the order, he quickly walked towards the palace. Hua Xin turned around and said to the guards: "Go and prepare the carriage quickly. The windows must be sealed. Find two palace maids to accompany her. Let's set off for Xudu in an hour."
The soldiers were immediately busy, and several soldiers ran to find the carriage. In the palace, Fu Shou was sneering. She finally believed that Liu Jing had indeed signed an agreement with Cao Cao, so Cao Cao did not dare to kill him, otherwise Cao Cao would never let him go.
At this time, a guard soldier appeared in front of the fence. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly bounced a ball of paper into the cell and left in a hurry. Fu Shou was surprised and quickly got up and picked up the note. He quickly opened it and took a look. He saw a line of words written on it, "Take care for yourself, you will have a day of freedom."
Fu Shou put the note in his mouth and chewed it down. She sat back on the bed, silently. She could guess who sent the note. Just as the guard Luo Qing told herself at the critical moment, there was a game between Liu Jing and Cao Cao. She suddenly thought of her child, and she felt sad in her heart, and tears came out again. She wiped away the tears and gritted her teeth and said to herself: "I can do it, I will definitely wait for the day when Cao thief was given the title."

In the inner palace, Liu Xie sat behind the table with a nervous expression, trembling all over. He stared at Cao Cao who was respectful in front of him, with deep fear in his eyes. However, Cao Cao knelt down to Liu Xie and bowed respectfully. "I am far away in Jingzhou and failed to stop the rebellion of the rebellion in time, which caused the emperor to be frightened. I was heartbroken and wished that I could not replace myself with my body..."
Liu Xie saw his two sons being killed by a guard sent by Cao Pi. He was no longer angry and was endlessly afraid. He was afraid that he would say something wrong, so he would also be killed by a staff in a bag.
If Liu Xie had thought about how to regain the power of the monarch before, but after the incident, he was scared by the cruel methods of the Cao father and son. Not to mention regaining the power of the monarch, he might not even have the qualification to be a puppet.
Liu Xie's lips trembled, and after a while, he asked, "My queen... what should the Prime Minister do?"
Cao Cao did not wait for Liu Xie to calm down, so he sat upright and said lightly: "They tried to rebel and attempted to take the emperor to Mount Tai. This is a crime of great rebellion. The crime should be punished by nine clans. However, I missed the empress in the palace and had not been indecent, so I suggested that the emperor talk to her. I suggest that she be retained as the queen, but she should not be by the emperor anymore. I suggest that she send her to Xudu to settle."
Cao Cao spoke with one suggestion, but Liu Xie couldn't speak for a long time. What was this suggestion? It was clearly Cao Cao's decision. He was in a mess. Queen Fu wanted to send her to Xu Du, but she could retain the title of queen. What does this mean?
"Master!"
Cao Cao's voice rose, "Why don't you answer my advice?"
Liu Xie was so scared that he shivered all over, "I...reached!"
Cao Cao smiled proudly and said slowly: "The harem should not be without a master for a day. Although the queen is not here, the Yuan concubine can still preside over the harem and perform the rituals of the queen. I have a daughter's reputation, and I am about 16 years old and have both good character and appearance. I can be appointed as the Yuan concubine and ask the emperor to accept the favor."
