Summary of the previous chapter: Lu Su introduced Ma Xiaoquan and Zhuge Liang to see Sun Quan and discussed the issue of the Sun-Liu alliance to jointly resist Cao Cao. Sun Quan wanted to hear the voices of his men resisting Cao Cao, but the Yi Gan led by Zhang Zhao surrendered to Cao Cao faction and burst into tears.
But Sun Quan had no choice but to use the excuse of going to the toilet to escape temporarily. Ma Xiaoquan followed him out and suggested that Sun Quan call Zhou Yu back...
After hearing what Lu Su said, Zhou Yu's anger disappeared a lot.
Zhou Yu said: "I wonder how Lord Marquis wants to resist Cao? I am not a talented person, and I have heard some anecdotes about Lord Hou. It is said that Lord Hou has a good relationship with the old thief Cao?"
Zhou Yu's words were obviously angular. Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was still too young.
At this time, Zhou Yu was only 33 years old, and it had been almost 20 years since Ma Xiaoquan returned from physical time travel. Adding Ma Xiaoquan's original age, if Ma Xiaoquan could grow old, he would already be a 47-year-old middle-aged man.
Already.
Furthermore, when dealing with a guy like Cao Cao, although Ma Xiaoquan had some tricks on Cao Cao in some aspects, those were all insignificant money issues. As for other matters, Ma Xiaoquan felt that he was no match for Cao Cao.
The reason is very simple. There is a "family" in the evaluation of Cao Cao in history.
politician.
Having dealt with a politician a lot, Ma Xiaoquan can't say that he knows how to maneuver, but at least he has some confidence in dealing with a young boy like Zhou Yu.
Ma Xiaoquan said calmly: "Gong Jin, you are too polite. I am really embarrassed to say this..."
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: This purple-haired demon is really shameless.
Lu Su stepped forward to smooth things over: "Hey, Gong Jin, Lord Marquis, we should have a good discussion about resisting Cao Cao."
The two looked at each other, and Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan first: "My lord, what are you thinking about?"
Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu, nodded and said, "I will not surrender!"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said: "Cao Cao is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. My lord, you are a powerful and talented man. Since you commanded me in Jiangdong, the lives of the people in my Jiangdong have become better and better. Moreover, Jiangdong is my lord's blessed land."
, the fertile wilderness is thousands of miles away, and the old thief Cao dares to come, the lord should eliminate the harm for the court!"
Sun Quan said: "That's true, but there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ours. You must also know, Gong Jin, that Cao Cao has an army of 800,000. Although the number is false, it is numerical superiority no matter what!"
Zhou Yu continued: "Although Cao Cao has basically pacified the north,... Ma Chao and Han Sui are still in Xiliang. Is this a future trouble for Cao Cao? Cao Cao proudly gave up the trouble to attack Jiangdong because he is not good at it.
The navy is fighting with us, and winter has come. Logistics will soon become a big problem for Cao Cao... So many military strategists have taboos, and Cao Cao really takes advantage of them all. Lord, I am so
Analysis, do you still think Cao Cao is difficult to deal with?"
After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Gong Jin, so we still have a great chance?"
Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su and then at Ma Xiaoquan. Seeing that both of them were nodding, Zhou Yu said proudly: "It's not a big opportunity, but an absolutely good opportunity! My lord, as long as you agree to resist Cao Cao, I promise to beat Cao Cao."
Adult insect, let him be afraid when he sees you in the future!"
Sun Quan immediately stood up, stepped forward, took Zhou Yu's hand and said, "No one knows me better than Gong Jin. Gong Jin, you really know my heart!"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
Lu Su also knelt down and prostrated, while Ma Xiaoquan said in a nonchalant manner: "Brother Zhongmou, even so, this is just what you and Gong Jin Zijing said. What should you do with Zhang Zhao?"
What about?"
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
The two of them also began to hesitate.
It is definitely difficult for Zhou Yu to talk about Zhang Zhao. After all, one is in charge and the other is outside, and Lu Su is even less qualified. Zhang Zhao entered the industry earlier than him and has much more seniority than him.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and suggested: "How about this, you recruit all your people together, and then announce in public that you will join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, and then, you pull out your sword and put it on the corner of the table.
Cut it off, and say one last thing: If anyone talks about surrendering to Cao, if there is a case like this, I guarantee that no one will dare to talk about surrendering to Cao again!"
Sun Quan doubted: "Master Hou, is this possible?"
Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest: "Don't worry, anyone who says they are not afraid of death is lying. Just do it boldly!"
Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu and Lu Su. Seeing that they did not refute, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Just listen to the Marquis!"
The next day, Sun Quan summoned all his officials, including Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang and the Immortal Master Ma Xiaoquan.
As soon as everyone sat down, Sun Quan drew out his sword with a clang and shouted: "I want to fight to the death with Cao Cao. What do you think?"
Zhang Zhao stepped forward and cried: "Lord, no..."
"Back off!" Before Zhang Zhao could finish his words, Sun Quan roared angrily.
Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan in horror. He didn't expect that before he finished speaking, Sun Quan would angrily stop him.
Zhang Zhao was unwilling to give in and took another step forward.
With a "bang" sound, Sun Quan kicked over the incense burner at his feet, "I told you to stand down!"
Zhang Zhao was afraid this time and had to retreat.
As soon as Zhang Zhao retreated, the other officers who surrendered to Cao immediately withered away.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said nothing, and winked at Sun Quan gently. Sun Quan understood, clenched the sword in his hand, and cut off a corner of the desk with a sharp blow.
Sun Quan's move really scared many people present, except of course Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and Ma Xiaoquan.
Sun Quan said: "I have made up my mind. Whoever talks about surrendering Cao Cao will have such a case!"
Ma Xiaoquan winked at Zhou Yu and Lu Su, meaning that you two should go out and join in.
The two men nodded slightly in understanding, stepped out together, knelt down in front of Sun Quan, and said loudly: "Fight Cao to the death, fight Cao to the death..."
At night, Zhou Yu went to see Sun Quan alone, while Ma Xiaoquan and Zhuge Liang drank tea and talked about the day's events.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Master Shangxian, what method did you use to make General Sun so determined?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Method? I'm useless. In fact, it was all done by Zhou Yu. Sun Quan was just a little hesitant. With Zhou Yu, the anti-Cao alliance has been implemented. How about it, Kong Ming? Isn't it interesting?"
Zhuge Liang said: "It's more than interesting, it's really interesting. Master Shangxian, no matter what, you have done us a big favor."
Ma Xiaoquan picked up the tea, took a sip lightly, shook his head and said, "Kong Ming went too far. By the way, what are your plans for the next step, Kong Ming?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Just wait and see what happens!"
Ma Xiaoquan burst out laughing: "Just wait and see what happens. Come on, Kong Ming, let's drink tea instead of wine and have a toast!"
Zhuge Liang elegantly picked up the teacup: "Thank you, Lord Immortal! Please!"
