"My lord, my military counselor, it wasn't Mr. Feng Chu who abused the Cao camp's generals…It was…" The scout's face turned pale as he replied.

"But what?"

" My lord," Liu Bei hurriedly asked," Mister Feng Chu is in Jingzhou. He fell into Xu Chu's trap. Now, there are rumors in Jingzhou…"

"What are you talking about?”

"The Daoist name of Mister Phoenix Chick is: Little chick…"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other.

Such a contemptuous term was the greatest humiliation to a strategist.

" They didn't expect this outcome…"

"Xu Chu again?"

"It's Xu Chu again!"

"You insulted my junior brother's reputation. If I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman.”

Liu Bei looked at the scout suspiciously and asked,"" Do you know where Chen Fan is…"

" My lord, there is no news of Chen Fan's whereabouts. But according to the scouts, Cao Cao has gone south and there are many refugees. I'm afraid…"

"Afraid of what?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

"Military Advisor Zhuge, I'm afraid that Military Advisor Chen Fan has entered Cao Cao's camp!”

Boom!

A thought appeared in Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's minds at the same time!

Xu Chu suddenly seemed to be possessed by Guo Jia. He was extraordinary.

It was impossible for him to suddenly turn from an idiot into the smartest person in the world.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei looked at each other and thought of the same thing.

……

A political upheaval was happening in Dongwu.

Zhou Yu of the Eastern Wu was defeated and Cheng Pu died in battle. Although Sun Quan had sworn an oath, he was at odds with Cao Cao.

However, the four great clans of River East didn't think highly of Sun Quan.

Liu Bei had lost, Zhou Yu had also lost. If they lost again, they would no longer have the capital to surrender to Cao Cao.

If they continued to resist, the four great families of River East would be in danger of being destroyed!

After discussing, the four great clans of River East decided to continue persuading Sun Quan to surrender, regardless of Sun Quan's anger!

……

East Wu, Jianye Palace.

Zhang Zhao and several civil officials of Dongwu had gathered together to advise Sun Quan.

There was only one reason why they had come here.

That was to persuade them to surrender.

Among everyone, Zhang Zhao was the most experienced.

He took a step forward and bowed first. He cupped his hands and said,

"My lord, I and my colleagues have a few words to say to my lord.”

At that moment, the guard outside the hall reported loudly,"

"Military Advisor Lu Su has arrived."

The guard's report interrupted Zhang Zhao's words. Seeing that Sun Quan didn't raise his head, Zhang Zhao didn't continue.

The few civil officials who came with him all revealed anxious expressions.

Sun Quan, who was kneeling behind the table, had a calm expression on his face. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

He, the ruler of River East, had sworn an oath, but he could not stop the four families of River East from surrendering!

Damn it!

How hateful!

I, the ruler of River East, am like a puppet controlled by the Governor and the four great clans of River East!

……

Seeing this, the few civil officials became even more anxious and could not help but cast a pleading gaze at the old minister, Zhang Zhao.

Not long after, Lu Su, who was dressed in a long indigo robe, slowly walked in.

Lu Su bowed in front of his lord.

When Sun Quan saw that Lu Su had arrived, he waved his hand, signaling Lu Su to return to his position.

Only then did he raise his head and say,

"Sir, please continue. No matter what it is, it doesn't matter.”

Zhang Zhao had wanted to persuade them to surrender more than once.

This time, he had gathered a few important officials from the aristocratic families in the imperial court.

How could Sun Quan not know what was going on?

Therefore, when he learned that Zhang Zhao was coming to pay his respects, Sun Quan sent someone to invite Lu Su.

Among the civil and military officials of Dongwu, Lu Su and Sun Quan were the most trustworthy.

He called Lu Su over so that when Zhang Zhao persuaded him to surrender, Lu Su could open his mouth to stop him.

Zhang Zhao, who was worried about what to say, immediately cupped his hands and said,

"My lord, there are some words that only this old minister dares to say. Others are afraid of offending my lord.”

"Cao Cao has millions of troops and commands the princes with the Son of Heaven. Banners cover the sun, and weapons fill the sky."

"Their generals are mostly from the north or Xirong, and they are extremely brave.”

"Most of their soldiers have been through many battles and have won many victories!”

"Most of the civil officials and strategists have military strategies and are resourceful. There was even a small number of Wang Zuo's ministers.”

"Now that Cao Cao has taken Jingzhou, Liu Biao's subordinates don't dare to fight Cao Cao's army.”

"If the Jingxiang generals who are evenly matched with our Jiangdong army are like this, how can our Jiangdong army be a match for Cao Cao's army?”

"Moreover, not long ago, the Viceroy was defeated in Jiangxia. The Lord is very important!”

Zhang Zhao's words were like steel needles stabbing into Sun Quan's heart.

His father and brother died, and his grandson Quan took over the six prefectures of Jiangdong at the age of nineteen. It had been eight years since then.

In the past eight years, he had been conscientious and dedicated to his duties, only then did he manage to protect this hard-won territory.

Right now, Cao Cao's army was like a tiger in a dragon's den.

All the officials in the court, except for Zhou Yu, surrendered without even fighting.

If he really surrendered, how could he face the spirits of his father and brother in heaven?

How could he comfort those soldiers who had shed their blood for Jiangdong?

He looked up at Zhang Zhao and asked,

"Mister, don't forget that we have a long river.”

Zhang Zhao sighed lightly and said,

"My lord, we do have a long river, but Cao Cao has millions of lions.”

"Moreover, we just learned from the fishermen in Shangjiang that Cao Cao is training his navy at Poyang Lake!”

"Moreover, Cao Cao is sending craftsmen to build thousands of warships day and night!”

"There are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun training the navy, and there are over a thousand large warships crossing the natural moat.”

"If we fight this battle, the people of River East will be plunged into misery!”

Halfway through his sentence, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but shake his head, a pained expression on his face.

After a long time, he sighed and said,"

"If you surrender, you can protect the territory and calm the people!"

"Lord, please lead the officials and people of the six counties of Jiangdong to submit to the Imperial Court. Cao Cao will definitely grant you the position of Jiangdong and let you guard Dongwu forever!”

As Zhang Zhao's voice fell, the civil officials who came with him bowed and echoed,

"Lord, please lead the officials and people of the six counties of Jiangdong to submit to the Imperial Court!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

Sun Quan was currently filled with anger, but he controlled his expression very well.

He glanced sideways at Lu Su, wanting Lu Su to say a few words.

But Lu Su stood with his arms crossed and did not say a word.

Seeing this, Sun Quan could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

He waved his hand and said,

"Sir and everyone, please return. This matter is important, please allow me to think twice.”

After speaking, Sun Quan stood up to send him off.

Zhang Zhao and the civil officials looked at each other, knowing that their lord was asking them to leave.

In the end, they shook their heads helplessly and left with cupped hands.

After all the civil officials who had come to persuade him to surrender had left, Sun Quan's face sank.

He tilted his head to look at Lu Su and asked sternly,"

"They all advised me to surrender, but you didn't say a word!”

Lu Su sighed lightly and said,

"My lord, Zhang Zhao and the others have their reasons for persuading us to surrender.”

"Because after they surrender, they will still be officials of the imperial court and can still govern the state affairs.”

"In fact, even I can surrender.”

"After the decline, you can give up your official position and stay at home to fiddle with your writing. You can open the door and teach your disciples. It won't be a problem for you to have food and clothing for a lifetime.”

"But, my lord. Everyone in Jiangdong can surrender, but not you, my lord!”

Sun Quan heaved a heavy sigh when he heard this. He glanced at Lu Su before returning to his desk and saying,

"I naturally know this."

"Cao Cao built a cage made of gold in Xuchang and locked the emperor inside.”

"After occupying Jing State, he built a golden cage in Qing State and locked Liu Cong and his son inside.”

"If I surrender, needless to say, Cao Cao will also build a golden cage and lock me up!”

"I don't want my life to be in the hands of others!”

"Moreover, the six counties of River East are the hard work of my father and brother for many years. How can they be handed over so easily?”

"This battle must be fought!"

Hearing his lord's words, Lu Su's face finally revealed a smile.

After taking his seat, Sun Quan asked,"

"Liu Bei has been in Dongwu for a few days.”

Lu Su shook his head and said,"

"Xinye and Jiangxia Liu Bei have lost half their lives, I'm afraid they won't be able to recover for a while.”

Sun Quan coldly snorted and said,"

"Liu Bei doesn't know the real treasures and doesn't put Chen Fan in an important position. Instead, he admires Zhuge Wolong!”

"You brought this upon yourself!”

"I just hope that I can find Chen Fan and take him under my wing!”

"At that time, Cao Cao will have a million soldiers. So what if he has a thousand warships?”

……

In the water stronghold of River East.

Zhou Yu sat in the main seat of the manor.

The left and right generals under his command sat down separately.

Originally, in Zhou Yu's plan, Cao Cao was so proud of his consecutive victories that his eyes had already flown to the sky.

This attack on Jiangxia would definitely catch Cao Cao off guard and plunder all of Jiangxia's money and food.

However, who knew that the plan of attack, which had been going smoothly, would be disrupted by Cai Mao who had suddenly appeared!

Zhou Yu and Gan Ning attacked from both the water and land routes.

On the waterway, Zhou Yu had successfully ambushed the navy of Cao Cao's camp, catching them off guard and plundering countless amounts of money and food.

However, when they were returning along the waterway, they were ambushed by Cai Mao who suddenly appeared!

They suffered heavy losses.

The money and food transportation by water had also been cut off.

Fortunately, Gan Ning did not encounter any obstacles on the road. He burned Cao Cao's newly built water stronghold and delayed Cao Cao's advance south.

He had triumphed without expending a single soldier!

At first, Zhou Yu thought that Cao Cao had seen through his ambush.

However, Gan Ning was unharmed.

If Cao Cao had set up an ambush, it was impossible for them to be attacked along the way.

Therefore, there must be an expert in Cao Cao's camp who saw through his plan and wrote a letter to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not take it seriously!

But who in Cao Cao's camp could it be?

Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, Hua Xin.

Among the strategists of Cao's camp, only Xun Yu could catch Zhou Yu's eye.

However, even Xun Yu would not be able to see through his plan.

With such a huge disparity in strength, Jiang Dong still dared to attack Jiang Xia.

Unless it was someone who knew him very well, he would not be able to tell.

Then who had seen through his plan?

As for Xu Chu, Zhou Yu never thought that Xu Chu would be able to see through his plan!

……

Suddenly, Zhou Yu recalled a person that Lu Su had mentioned to him some time ago!

This person was originally Liu Bei's military advisor. Later, because he was not on good terms with Zhuge Liang, he left.

This person didn't come to River East!

In that case, this person would definitely join Cao Cao!

Zhou Yu's gaze turned sharp!

"Could it be that this plan was created by that person?”

"Who is the Governor talking about?" The civil and military officials under the tent asked.”

.

.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

Please give me some flowers and comments. I'm flustered.

I really can't hold on any longer
