Chapter 620
"Return to Jiangdong? Things have come to this point. Is there any use to go back to Jiangdong?" Sun Quan shook his head, wondering if it was because of the Taoist heart in his body. The extremely irritable aura that had just disappeared without a trace the next moment.
"If you don't go back to Jiangdong to preside over the situation, Jiangdong will only become more and more chaotic. This is what you want to see?!" Wu Jing said with wide eyes. He stayed here and waited for Sun Quan to come out for many days. As a result, Sun Quan told him this when he came out?
"It won't be messy anymore." Sun Quan shook his head again, "The reason for chaos is that there is no leader in the group of dragons, and several big names have not come forward to express their opinions. Now that the third brother has received support, I will send another letter to help him. If he wants to get promoted, let him get promoted. If I go back now, isn't it just a complaint?" Sun Quan sighed softly.
Rather than being angry and furious, Sun Quan was more discouraged. No matter how he prepared or dealt with it, nothing changed in the end. What did he do in the past years?
In the eyes of others, perhaps Sun Quan has achieved extraordinary achievements, but Sun Quan himself feels that he has achieved nothing! Because now all these possessions are not what Sun Quan wants at all!
Return to Jiangdong?
Of course, Sun Quan knew that he could stabilize the situation immediately after returning to Jiangdong. But what happened? Later, Sun Quan had to take on a big task and worked hard inside and outside. In that position, he could not get out of it for at least decades! It would be fine if he was a little hard and tired, but the key was that it might make his brothers feel disconnected.
Sun Quan could see that his third brother Sun Yi, like his eldest brother Sun Ce, was ambitious. Although someone was instigating him behind his back this time, Sun Yi himself was eager to try it out? Sun Quan went back at this time and took over the power, not only did he add to his troubles, but he might also make grudges with his brothers. Why did you say he did this for?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Jing was furious and rushed up and grabbed Sun Quan's neckline, staring at his eyes and roaring, "Do you ignore the foundation laid by your father and the foundation laid by your elder brother! These are all exchanged for their lives!"
"Uncle, Jiangdong is still here." Sun Quan replied calmly, "What's the difference between following me in the third brother's hands? Everyone has inherited the foundation of their father and brother. I am now discouraged and don't want to think about anything."
"Then what do you want to do! You can't become a monk!" Wu Jing wanted to punch Sun Quan in the face.
"I'm going to go to Huaiyin to see my mother and uncle. No matter what, we are all a family. You should also be with me." Sun Quan said.
Wu Jing's eyes trembled, his fists clenched, and almost gritted his teeth, asked.
"You and I have left, what should I do here in Xia Pi? Let someone seize it? You don't want most of Xuzhou?"
"If my uncle is unwilling to accept it, it's okay to stay. However, I said at the beginning that even if you and I are here, Xuzhou may not be able to defend. Retreat to Huaiyin, at least half of Xuzhou can be guaranteed to be lost." Sun Quan said.
At this time,
"Actually, there is another plan." Diao Chan finally appeared.
"Let's talk about it." Wu Jing frowned. He had a really strategy and should have proposed it for a long time. At this time, it might not be a good strategy.
"Take Xia Pi temporarily to another person to manage it." Diao Chan replied, "In this way, direct conflict with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may be exempted."
Simply put, it is to leave a blank area at the junction of the three major forces as a buffer. Of course, saying that it is a blank does not mean that no one is in charge, but it just makes the situation not so sensitive.
Similar examples are not uncommon in the world. For example, when Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, he handed Xiaopei to Lu Bu. Lu Bu snatched Xuzhou and asked Liu Bei to temporarily live in Xiaopei, including Zhang Xiu from Wancheng, who was also taken in by Liu Biao and gave Wancheng to Zhang Xiu as a buffer between Liu Biao and Cao Cao.
But! All these places that were given up are important border towns, so how could they give up core areas like Xia Pi?!
"Even if you want to give up, you can't give up Xia Pi!" Wu Jing said immediately. Having Xia Pi means having Xuzhou in name only. If you give up Xia Pi, no matter how much territory you occupy, it will be a bit unreasonable.
"Who to give it to?" Sun Quan spoke, this was the question he was more concerned about.
Sun Quan once said that Wu Jing is always easily influenced by his inherent impression. Although Xia Pi is the political, economic and cultural center of Xuzhou, it is now severely affected and cannot recover for a while. If he can be given up, it will be less trouble.
In addition, both Liu Bei and Lu Bu could treat Xiaopei as a major border town, but now it is different. Although Sun Quan nominally occupied Xuzhou, in fact, the west of Sishui was not under Sun Quan's control. Xiaopei was completely under Cao Cao's hands. Even as long as Cao Cao was willing to attack Xuzhou again, his army could reach Sishui at any time. At that time, Xia Pi, separated by water, was not the front line, so where else was the front line?
"Liu Bei." Diao Chan said to Sun Quan, "Liu Bei and the emperor's secret decree came to Xia Pi."
Sun Quan's heart moved,
"The emperor's secret decree is to ask Yuan Shao and I to fight against Cao Cao together?" Sun Quan asked.
"That's right." Diao Chan nodded, "Liu Bei is currently talking about this matter with Yuan Xi in detail and will come to you soon."
"No, no, no, no, we can't take care of ourselves now. What else can we do to attack Cao Cao? Just leave this kind of thing to Yuan Shao. Anyway, Cao Cao cannot be Yuan Shao's opponent. In addition, Liu Bei is incompetent and I can't let him guard Xia Pi. I'm worried that once we leave, Xia Pi will be lost." Wu Jing said quickly. It's not that he looked down on Liu Bei, but that Liu Bei had indeed failed too many times along the way. Do you think when he had gained a foothold in a certain place?
Sun Quan did not deny or affirm it, but asked Diao Chan first.
"Is this your idea? Or Liu Bei's idea?"
"Yes, someone from the outside world asked me." Diao Chan replied truthfully, and after saying that, he added, "I personally think it is also feasible."
"So that's it." Sun Quan nodded. Cihang Jingzhai Outer Sect was firmly determined in its original strategy and firmly supported the royal family, including the royal family. As a royal family member, Liu Bei was well-behaved. This time he brought the secret edict of Emperor Xian. As the spokesperson of the emperor, Cihang Jingzhai Outer Sect would definitely support it and try every means to help Liu Bei. Taking advantage of the troubles of the Sun family, he took advantage of the situation and wanted to help Liu Bei come to Xia Pi.
To be honest, even if Sun Quan really wanted to give up Xia Pi, he didn't have to give up to Liu Bei. He had many choices. This strategy was not equated with Liu Bei. Therefore, Cihang found Diao Chan at the outer sect of Jingzhai and used Diao Chan's master plot to let her sing the "pillow wind" with Sun Quan.
"I agree to give Xia Pi to Liu Bei!" Sun Quan decided on the spot, "not only Xia Pi, Langya, and Beihai, but also to him!"
