Chapter eight hundred and eighty first: no sincerity
"Mr. Zhang, if you agree to Shu, what should you do?"
Zhou Yu opposed Zhang Zhao's opinion.
The relationship between Wu and Lu is still good now, and it can be said that it is a relationship between brothers and brothers in difficulty.
At this time, Wu Shun sent someone to propose marriage, which was obviously going to provoke discord.
"Grandmaster, how strong is Cao Cao and how strong is Wu Shun? You should know more than me. The Wuling Army has been rested, so it is not advisable to give them an excuse to start a war at this time."
Zhang Zhao said.
Although he had selfish intentions, he was indeed thinking about Sun Quan. Their Wu Kingdom did not have the confidence to face the Wuling Army directly. Furthermore, the civil officials always thought about more than the military generals.
"King, we have the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend. If we really want to start a war, it is not without a chance of victory." Zhou Yu said.
Zhang Zhao wanted to be able to get along with everything, and his original intention was good, but Zhou Yu believed that Zhang Zhao did not know Wu Shun's character enough, and the Wuling Army would not give them the opportunity to be a fence-bearer!
So Zhou Yu directly told Sun Quan that if they really wanted to fight, they might not lose, let alone Cao Cao would not sit and watch Wu Shun attack them.
"First meet the envoy of Shu."
Sun Quandao.
Since Xu Shu has come, he will lose his courage as King Wu when he doesn't meet him.
...
Xu Shu had been waiting outside the hall for summoning, but he was not in a hurry, looking calm and calm.
"Mr. Xu, King Wu summoned him." A servant walked out of the hall and informed Xu Shu that he could enter the hall.
“Hard work.”
Xu Shu said to the waiter politely.
...
"Foreign minister Xu Shu, have met the King of Wu!"
Xu Shu entered the palace and bowed to Sun Quan.
"Mr. Xu doesn't have to be too polite. I don't know what the hell is going to do if the King of Shu sent Mr. Xu to me?" Sun Quan pretended not to know.
"King of Wu, Xu Shu is here to come here to propose marriage for my king."
Xu Shu's neither humble nor arrogant look made the ministers of the Wu Kingdom disliked. But they could not have an attack. Shu Kingdom was just a strong one, even if it was a little rude here, it would be fine. Now it's just a normal conversation.
Too much is caused by inferiority complex. No matter what others do, they are all pretending to be x.
"Presenting marriage, everyone is already in the Shu Prince's Mansion. Do you still need to propose marriage?" Sun Quan sneered.
Sun Shangxiang was in the Shu Palace, and Sun Quan knew that a girl had been there for so long, and what should have happened might have happened. In this way, Sun Quan should be angry.
In fact, when he was united with Cao Cao, he wanted to marry his sister to Cao Cao to consolidate the relationship between the two parties.
However, if Sun Shangxiang doesn't return to Wu, he has no choice.
All the people sent to the scene disappeared silently, and none of them came back to report their lives.
Sun Quan looked bad, but Xu Shu didn't care. He said to himself: "King of Wu, the eldest lady likes to stay in Shu, and my king also likes it. Why not just make a family in this way, and it is convenient to deal with the traitors together."
"Terror to the traitor?" Sun Quan said in surprise.
"That's right, the traitor Cao Cao was preparing to take over the Central Plains in Qingzhou and wanted to use the Yuan family to regain the Central Plains. When the war broke out, the Wu Kingdom would be the first to be affected."
Xu Shu seemed to think about Wu State.
Most of what he said was not heard, and only heard a word borrowing the power of the Yuan family.
If Cao Cao and the Yuan family came together, there was no reason to abandon their Wu Kingdom. What maintains the two forces was naked interests. When the Yuan family had a greater help, it was not impossible for Cao Cao to abandon Wu Kingdom.
Xu Shu's words made the ministers of Wu fall into deep thought.
Although they wanted to maintain their relationship with Cao Cao, they didn't know what Cao Cao thought and did. Compared with the intelligence, the gap between Wu and Shu was not a slightest.
With the choice of getting along from far and near, Cao Cao might even make peace with Shu Kingdom privately, and then join forces with the Yuan family in Hebei to attack the Wu Kingdom.
Why? Because Wu State has a good geographical location, with natural barriers, easy to defend but difficult to attack!
"King of Wu, all the great masters, Wu and Shu have always had good friends. Although there are frictions, they are all trivial matters and are not worth mentioning. However, Cao Cao's ambition to establish himself as a king, and his intentions are punished! My king intends to join forces with the King of Wu to resist Cao Cao."
Seeing that the ministers of Wu did not speak, Xu Shu made a generous speech again.
"Mr. Xu is afraid that his words are too serious. With the troops of Shu, we still need to unite with our Wu Kingdom to deal with Cao Cao?" Zhou Yu sneered.
What kind of abacus Xu Shu can do? Zhou Yu's sect is very clear.
First, make the Wu Kingdom move towards Shu Kingdom to facilitate the operation and deployment of the Wuling Army. As for what Wu Shun will do, Zhou Yu is still not sure about it.
"The Grand Governor didn't know that Shu Kingdom had a large jurisdiction and all regions needed to garrison troops. If Cao Cao and the Yuan family in Hebei came together, it would be difficult for the army to assemble in an instant."
Xu Shu explained.
First of all, it is not that the Wuling Army cannot defeat the Cao army, but that the Wuling Army is currently not optimistic and its deployment is too scattered, making it difficult to form a unified and effective military deterrent.
"Is this true?" Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed.
"Grandmaster, with the temper of General Gan Ning of our Jiaolong Fleet, will the navy of your country that attacked Jiangxia leave? It is precisely because Jiangxia only has some naval forces and insufficient personnel that he will give up the pursuit."
Xu Shu said.
It turns out that Gan Ning didn’t pursue him because there were few people.
After Xu Shu said this, the generals of Wu who participated in the battle were very regretful, so why didn't they hold on for a while?
"So, this governor is still grateful that Gan Ning has few people." Zhou Yu said.
"The Grand Governor, it is because of the few generals of Gan Ning who have the opportunity to come here today."
In order to alleviate Zhou Yu's embarrassment, Xu Shu followed the conversation.
"Mr. Xu, if I am united and married, how can I express it?" Sun Quan asked Xu Shu.
"If the King of Wu agrees, my king is willing to sell some weapons and equipment to the State of Wu to help your army improve its strength." Xu Shu threw out a big bait.
"Take it serious?" Sun Quan widened his eyes.
The weapons and equipment of Shu Kingdom are all high-quality products. If you can buy it, Sun Quan would be willing.
Of course, he wanted to return Shu Kingdom to Jiangxia County, but this kind of request was naturally not something he should have made.
"King of Wu, this matter is absolutely true!" Xu Shu said.
"Mr. Xu, we have no shortage of weapons and equipment in our army, but there are many strategic locations," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"What does the Grand Governor mean?" Xu Shu pretended to be stupid.
"Haha, why should Lord Wu pretend not to know? As long as the Wuling Army withdrew from Jiangxia, everything will be easy to say." Zhou Yu said,
For the Wu Kingdom, Jiangxia County is very important, much more important than any weapon and equipment.
However, the territory that Shu Kingdom swallowed in, would not be spit out!
Faced with such rude requests, Xu Shu could only blacken his face and said, "If the Grand Governor wants a strategic location, he can occupy more in the future. Maybe our Wuling Army can still help."
"King, Shu Kingdom has no sincerity!"
Zhou Yu said directly to Sun Quan.
