At this moment, the Wu Country's palace was bustling with activity.
All the soldiers of Wu Country were extremely worried when they heard that Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao and conquered the north!
Originally, it was already very difficult for the Wu Kingdom to deal with the Wei Kingdom.
Now, the Wei State had annexed Yuan Shao and taken over the entire north. The Wu State was facing the Wei State and had almost no power to fight back.
Knowing that they couldn't resist, these soldiers already had the intention to surrender, and they continued to persuade Sun Quan.
Especially the soldiers led by Zhang Zhao and the others, they had the greatest desire to surrender to Wei.
These people had been talking to Sun Quan for a long time in the palace.
"My lord, Viceroy, Cao Cao is already very powerful. It is very difficult for our Wu Country to resist Cao Cao.”
"Moreover, Cao Cao is currently recuperating and has no desire to continue fighting.”
"Why don't we take this opportunity to surrender to Cao Cao and form an alliance?”
"Although the Wu Country has become a vassal country of the Wei Country after surrendering, the Emperor is far away, and the Wu Country is still the Wu Country.”
"In the future, if Cao Cao wants Shu, the Wu Kingdom can also help out and get a share of the pie.”
"Why not?"
These people did not know about the conversation between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan in the palace.
Therefore, he did not know what Zhou Yu was thinking.
They only thought that if there was a way to avoid the war, the Wu Country would not completely belong to Cao Cao. This was the best.
However, they had never thought that they would be living in a chaotic world.
For these rulers, the best way to control a country was to occupy it and make it their own.
As for vassal states, who would consider such unrealistic things before becoming the overlord of the Central Plains?
Liu Bei would not, Sun Quan would not, and Cao Cao would not!
However, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu didn't say anything.
"Is that what everyone is thinking?"
Zhou Yu sat beside Sun Quan, his eyes narrowing slightly.
When Cheng Pu and Huang Gai heard this, they quickly stood up.
"Lord, Viceroy, you must not surrender to Wei!”
Cheng Pu said seriously.
"That's right! My lord!"
"This Cao Cao's ambition is known to the world!”
"If we surrender to Cao Cao, then when Cao Cao sends out troops, our Wu Country must participate!”
"Wu Country is weak to begin with, we can't make more enemies!”
"Moreover, Cao Cao is extremely cunning. Once we surrender to Cao Cao, when Cao Cao becomes powerful in the future, the first one he will destroy will definitely be the Wu Kingdom!”
Huang Gai was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had never thought that these generals would actually have the intention to surrender!
"Lord, Viceroy, we would rather die than surrender!”
"My lord, don't worry. If Cao Cao dares to come, we will be the first to go up. As long as we don't die, the Wei Kingdom can forget about taking half a step into the Wu Kingdom!”
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai said righteously.
Kuai Yue, who was listening to the arguments of the officials in the King of Wu's palace, was extremely anxious.
Whether the Wu Country could participate in the war would directly determine the survival of the Jing State!
However, Kuai Yue was here now.
The situation in the world had been analyzed, but Sun Quan and Zhou Yu hadn't expressed their stance.
This made Kuai Yue's head hurt from worry.
Kuai Yue even wanted to say that as long as they joined the battle, Liu Biao would willingly give up Jing Zhou!
At this moment, Lu Su appeared in the Wu Kingdom's palace with Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang stepped into the King's Palace and looked at the court officials and the lonely Kuai Yue from Jing State. He could already guess what had happened.
Hence, he walked forward.
"Shu Kingdom's Kong Ming greets the King of Wu and the Viceroy!”
Sun Quan sat upright and looked at Zhuge Liang with a slight frown.
"Zhuge Liang, why didn't you stay in Shu Country? Why did you come to Wu Country?”
Zhuge Liang raised his head.
"King of Wu, Cao Cao has occupied the north and is about to lead his army south. I believe you have already discussed this with the ministers, right?”
"So what?" Sun Quan nodded.”
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath." I came here to ask for the opinions of the King of Wu and the Governor.”
"I wonder if the King of Wu and the Governor want to surrender to Wei or fight against them.”
When Sun Quan heard this, he glanced at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu understood and nodded slightly."
"Kong Ming, you should be clear about the current situation. Cao Cao has the Wei Kingdom and a large piece of land in the north.”
"We have abundant resources, many soldiers, and a strategist like Ye Bei. If we fight, we will definitely lose!”
"Right now, the Wu Kingdom is weak and the people need stability. We have no desire to fight.”
"I've already persuaded my lord to give up Wu Country and let the people live in peace, becoming a vassal country!”
When Lu Su heard this, he turned pale with fright.
That wasn't what they said yesterday!
Didn't they say that they were just fooling Zhuge Liang to let the Wu Kingdom gain an advantage?
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Hence, he hurried forward.
"Viceroy, you must not do this!”
"Cao Cao is an ambitious man, how could he give us the chance to surrender?”
"If Cao Cao changes his mind in the future, the Wu Kingdom will definitely suffer!”
Zhou Yu ignored him.
Lu Su, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai hurriedly persuaded Sun Quan.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw everyone's reaction.
"Kong Ming, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with some doubt.
Zhuge Liang laughed out loud.”
"I can only blame the Viceroy's words for being too ridiculous. Liang really couldn't hold it in!”
Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and the other ministers all frowned.
This Zhuge Liang was really too bold. He actually dared to be so impudent in the Royal Palace of the Wu Kingdom!
"How dare you! Kong Ming, how dare you mock us!" Cheng Pu was furious.
"It's fine, let him speak." Sun Quan waved his hand.”
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said,
"Wu Wang, Liang was rude just now mainly because Lu Su and these people were too ignorant of the times!”
"I have a plan. I only need two people to ensure the stability of the Wu Country for thirty years!”
"Everyone knows that there are two beauties in the Wu Kingdom, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.”
"I heard that Cao Cao is preparing to build a Bronze Sparrow Platform in Wei to recruit all the beauties in the world.”
"Why don't we send Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao over? If Cao Cao is happy, he might let Wu go!”
"From now on, as long as the Wu Country chooses some beauties every year, it can naturally ensure the peace of the Wu Country!”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he flew into a rage."
"Presumptuous! Our Wu Country has so many good men, why do we need two women to work for us!”
Zhuge Liang sighed." Governor, please calm down. I have heard that Cao Cao has long liked the two Qiao brothers. This is the only way to protect the State of Wu!"”
"However, it's Liang's fault for being too talkative.”
"Since the King of Wu and the Viceroy have decided to surrender, it is not convenient for Liang to stay.”
"Liang will go back now and discuss with my lord. We should also make preparations to surrender to Cao Cao!”
As he said that, Zhuge Liang was about to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu quickly walked down and even changed the way he addressed her.
"Aiyaya, Prime Minister, please wait!"
"Actually, we have no intention of surrendering to Cao Cao!”
