Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Lu Su wanted to continue to ask, but Liu Jue didn't give this opportunity and left with an excuse, leaving him alone in the same place.

Lu Su sighed, knowing that Liu Jue didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't stay anymore and set off to return to Jiangdong on the same day.

Going down the river, the speed was much faster, and it only took three days for Lu Su to return to Moling, and as soon as the official ship docked, he rushed back to Wu County non-stop.

In the mansion of Marquis Wu.

When Sun Quan heard that Lu Su was back, he immediately ordered someone to summon Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu and others, and at the same time personally went out of the study and came to the front yard to greet Lu Su.

Lu Su didn't walk a few steps into the mansion when he saw Sun Quan coming over, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord!"

"Zijing doesn't have to be polite. Sun Quan stepped forward to help Lu Su, and then asked, "What is Liu Jue's attitude over there, and how many soldiers and horses does Cao Jun have?"

This is a stone in Sun Quan's heart, during the time Lu Su went to Xiangyang, he was concerned about this matter all day long.

"It's a bit complicated to say, let's wait for Gongjin and them to arrive, let's talk slowly. Lu Su smiled bitterly, this matter is too important, it is better to discuss it with someone.

Seeing Lu Su's expression, Sun Quan couldn't help but be a little surprised, could it be that something was wrong with Liu Jue?

Sun Quan wanted to ask clearly, but seeing Lu Su's solemn face, he still calmed down and said to Lu Su: "Let's go to the study first." "

Soon after the two sat down, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu and others arrived one after another.

Sun Quan saw that everyone had arrived, turned his head to Lu Su and said, "Now that everyone has arrived, Zijing, tell me quickly, what is the situation in Xiangyang?"

Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu and others also set their sights on Lu Su, and they all cared about Liu Jue's attitude.

Lu Su took a deep breath and said slowly: "Let's talk about Cao Jun first, according to my inquiry, Cao Jun should not be as much as 800,000, but it will never be less, it should be around 200,000." "

Everyone nodded, and they didn't blame Lu Su, after all, the number of troops has always been a military secret, unless the enemy deliberately lets you know.

"This number is not much different from my estimate, the Northern Central Plains has been in war for many years, and many places are empty, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to come up with an army of 800,000. Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

Sun Quan frowned, even if it wasn't 800,000, 200,000 was scary enough, and Jiangdong only had 80,000 troops.

Lu Su continued: "And Liu Jue's defeat of the tiger and leopard cavalry, I have carefully inquired, this matter is indeed true, the left general Liu Bei can confirm it, and also captured Cao Chun alive. "

"What?" In an instant, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu and others, their faces changed in unison, and the hall seemed to have exploded.

"How could this be? That was a tiger and leopard rider, who was defeated by Liu Jue and killed nearly 3,000 people?"

"Even if it is an ambush, it is impossible to severely damage the tiger and leopard cavalry, it is Cao Cao's elite, the first cavalry in the world. "

"Could it be that there is some reason for this, otherwise how could Liu Jue defeat the tiger and leopard riders? and also captured Cao Chun alive?"

There was a lot of noise in the hall, but Sun Quan didn't have the heart to care, because he was also confused at this moment.

Liu Jue's defeat of the tiger and leopard rider turned out to be true, not a lie designed in order to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people as he guessed?

Sun Quan felt incredible, it seemed that he had underestimated Liu Jue too much, how could a person who could make himself deflated twice not have a little means.

Sun Quan felt that if he changed his mind and used the people of Jiangdong to fight against Cao Cao, if he didn't rely on the Yangtze River, he wouldn't be able to stop the tiger and leopard riding no matter what.

Raise the people of Jiangdong, decide between the two formations, and compete with the world, and you are not as good as me. Be virtuous and capable, do your best, in order to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as Qing.

Sun Quan suddenly remembered what Sun Ce said when he was dying, and he couldn't help but feel deflated in his heart, these words obviously meant that he was just a king who kept his success.

Some people in Jiangdong compare Liu Jue with Sun Ce, in the past, Sun Ce laid down the great Jiangdong, and Liu Jue made Jiangdong deflated twice, and now he even defeated the tiger and leopard.

In the past, Sun Quan felt that he could do better than Sun Ce, but now it seems that he is far inferior to Sun Ce, and even less than Liu Jue.

"Okay, let's be quiet. Zhou Yu's voice rang out, and suddenly the ministers in the hall remembered what kind of place this was, and they all quieted down.

"Zijing, you go on. Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su.

"Let's talk about Liu Bei next. "

Lu Su then sighed and said, "When Liu Bei was in Xinye, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and now he has Jin Chuang's fistula, I'm afraid he won't live long." "

"What?"

Everyone present was taken aback again, this news greatly surprised them, originally in their plan, Liu Bei and Liu Jue should join forces to resist Cao Jun in Xiangfan.

As a result, it is good now, Liu Bei actually has this terminal illness, so his forces can be regarded as no longer existing.

In this way, in Xiangfan to resist Cao Cao, you can only rely on Liu Jue alone. Sun Quan said with a frown.

"yes, that's where it matters. "

Lu Su said helplessly: "I don't know if it's because of this, Liu Jue doesn't seem to plan to defend Xiangfan, and he also sees through our intentions, and wants Liu Jue and Cao Cao to lose both, but I'm afraid it's impossible." "

Zhou Yu asked with a cold face, "What did Liu Jue say?"

"Liu Jue told me directly that if we want to make a profit for the fisherman, he will surrender to Cao Cao and end up with us at that time. Lu Su couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Isn't this all the jade burning!

"Shhh

Everyone present was shocked, and couldn't help but gasp, this Liu Jue is too ruthless, this is completely like a hooligan.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Pu was the first to speak, and said disdainfully: "These words are indeed very threatening, but if you think about it carefully, Liu Jue just said this to scare us, I don't believe he really dares to do this." "

Cheng Punai is a military general, he followed Sun Jian, and he has never seen any scenes, so he doesn't like to be threatened by others the most.

At this time, Cheng Pu's thoughts, like Lu Su before, felt that if he gave up Xiangfan, it would be equivalent to losing Nanjun directly, and there would be no road to the Central Plains in the north and Bashu in the west.

Even if he blocks Cao Cao, he can only be a corner of peace and be a remote prince.

As for Liu Jue's surrender to Cao Cao, Cheng Pu didn't believe it even more, although Liu Jue inherited Jingzhou, he also expanded his territory, and previously took the South China Sea, Cangwu, and half of Yuzhang County.

How can such a person be willing to give up his inheritance?

Hearing Cheng Pu's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but nodded, and said quite approvingly: "What Demou said makes sense, if I were Liu Jue, I would never do this." "

Seeing that Sun Quan agreed with him, Cheng Pu smiled slightly and said: "Let's sit and watch the mountain tiger fight, see what Liu Jue can do, Xiangfan is his own territory, and when he can't stop it, he will naturally come to us." "

"My lord. "

Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, and listened to him say: "Liu Jue's temperament is extremely strong, when Cao Cao let him enter the palace to accompany the holy driver in the name of the Son of Heaven, but he directly killed the messenger, and then raised troops against Cao Ren, I think he really dared to do this." "

Zhang Zhao also nodded and said: "Back then, Cao Cao also asked the lord to offer a proton, but the lord finally refused, but he didn't kill the envoy directly like Liu Jue. If I wait to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let's not say whether Liu Jue will surrender, but it is possible for him to give up Xiangfan, after all, he already knows what we are thinking. "

Cheng Pu was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "Are you exalting Liu Jue too much, but you just killed one messenger, if the lord is willing, Cao Cao has ten envoys who will also kill them." "

Cheng Pu followed Sun Jian over, begged for the Yellow Turban, cut down Dong Zhuo, and pacified Jiangdong with Sun Ce, and now he is also assisting Sun Quan.

Therefore, in Jiangdong, few people dare to provoke Cheng Pu, even Sun Quan is very polite to Cheng Pu.

Sun Quan hated Liu Jue very much, so he agreed with Cheng Pu's words and said: "What Demou said is reasonable, saying this is too long for other people's ambition and destroying his own prestige! Besides, Liu Jue captured Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and Cao Cao lost tens of thousands of troops, how could he surrender to Cao Cao?"

Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, have you forgotten what happened to Zhang Xiu back then? Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's son and general, but Cao Cao still tolerated Zhang Xiu. If Liu Jue surrenders to Cao Cao, he can be made a marquis no matter what. "

When Sun Quan heard this, he was speechless for a while.
