Chapter 508: Being arrogant at first and respectful at the end. Extreme wisdom will definitely hurt you.
Sun Quan certainly didn't know Shiyi's psychological activities.
After hearing the latest battle report from Liangzhou, Sun Quan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
He hurriedly ordered someone to send in the battle report from Liangzhou.
Regarding the Battle of Liangzhou, which attracted worldwide attention, even Sun Quan pretended to be oblivious to what was happening outside the window.
But in fact, behind the scenes, Sun Quan sent many spies to Liangzhou to investigate.
Based on some piecemeal information returned from investigation, Sun Quan also speculated on the outcome of the Battle of Liangzhou with his close officials many times.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Battle of Liangzhou was a battle that could change the fate of the country today.
How could Sun Quan, who aspired to the world, be indifferent to the battle of Liangzhou?
What made Sun Quan happy was that in the many private meetings he held, most of Jiangdong's important officials were not optimistic about Mi Yang's fate.
They all believed that in the end of this battle, the loser would probably be Mi Yang.
This is not to say that the Jiangdong ministers thought Mi Yang was inferior to Cao Zhen in ability. On the contrary, they all believed that Cao Zhen was inferior to Mi Yang in terms of ability alone.
In the Battle of Yangping Pass, Mi Yang used the information gap between the two armies to lure the enemy into fighting Cao Zhen. This achievement made many Jiangdong officials sigh.
This deceitfulness can only be possessed by Mi Yang in their impression.
It's just that all the important officials in Jiangdong are also knowledgeable people. They know that the battle of Liangzhou is a battle of national strength, and in terms of national strength, Han and Wei are incomparable.
If it is delayed until the end, Nanzheng will definitely be captured by the Wei army.
This is not only the consensus of all Jiangdong ministers, but also what Sun Quan thinks in his heart.
Regarding this judgment, Sun Quan was happy to see it come to fruition.
In recent years, the Han army had won consecutive battles, and the emergence of Mi Yang had brought deep psychological pressure to Sun Quan.
For the sake of Jiangdong's centenary plan, Sun Quan not only hoped that the Han army would be defeated in the Battle of Liangzhou, but also hoped that Mi Yang would die in this battle.
It was precisely because of this expectation in his heart that Sun Quan showed a look of anticipation when he learned that the battle report from Liangzhou had been sent.
According to Zhang Zhao: "Unless Mi Yang gets help from heaven and earth, he will lose this battle!"
At Sun Quan's urging, a chamberlain quickly delivered the information outside the door to Sun Quan.
Looking at the information in the hands of the chamberlain, Sun Quan couldn't help but breathe a little quickly.
Isn't the most important reason why he hesitated to send troops to attack Hefei because the battle of Liangzhou has not yet concluded?
Jiangdong's next strategy depends entirely on this information.
Sun Quan quickly opened the information sent by the chamberlain and read it.
Shi Yi also focused her eyes on Sun Quan's face at this moment.
Shiyi noticed that when he first opened the battle report, Sun Quan's face was still full of expectation, but as Sun Quan's eyes continued to move, Shiyi noticed that Sun Quan's face became more solemn.
The solemn look on his face evolved into one of deep disbelief.
And as Sun Quan finished reading one piece of information and opened the second piece of information and started reading, the look of disbelief on his face eventually turned into fear.
In just a few breaths, Sun Quan's expression changed as if on a horse.
At this moment, Sun Quan doesn't look like the Lord of Jiangdong, he clearly looks like a performer with the unique skill of changing faces.
The change in Sun Quan's face symbolized that something shocking must have happened in the Battle of Liangzhou.
Feeling that the bad premonition came true, Yi Yi tentatively asked Sun Quan: "Supreme?"
But before Yi could ask the next words, Sun Quan, like an enraged tiger, slapped the information in his hand on the desk:
"Defeated, the Wei army was defeated!
The Wei army was not only defeated, but almost completely wiped out!
Are you satisfied now?"
Sun Quan's roar was so frightening that Shiyi fell to his knees. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the winter of the 24th year of Jian'an.
That year, when he was playing chess with Sun Quan, he received a battle report that Sun Quan didn't want to see.
Sun Quan's rage was almost the same as that year.
Shi Yi felt unlucky in his heart but did not dare to show it on his face. He could only tremble and accept Sun Quan's anger.
Shiyi was from Qingzhou and was considered a member of the Jiangbei clan ministers.
From Sun Quan's point of view, although the Wei army's defeat was an unacceptable consequence, it was something Jiangbei officials like Shi Yi would like to see.
Because this means that Mi Yang, who carries the power of victory, can use his hands to defeat Buchen.
As for Jiang Dong's disobedience, doesn't it depend on whether Jiang Dong will be obedient?
It was Yi Xin who felt innocent. Although he was one of the ministers of the Jiangbei Department, as a close minister, he never participated in the debates in Jianye City in order to avoid suspicion.
But he didn't expect that Sun Quan would still burn his anger on him.
This is also Sun Quan's character. Once he gets angry, his relatives will scold him indiscriminately, let alone a mere minister.
It was just Yi's patience that did not stop Sun Quan's anger.
He held tightly the battle report that had just been sent back from Liangzhou in his hand, and shouted angrily from his mouth:
"Cao Zhen is such a waste.
More than 100,000 troops besieged the city, but they were still defeated by Mi Yang. Could it be that all Cao Cao left behind was this kind of wine bag and rice bag?"
Sun Quan was as angry as if his general had lost the battle.
But this cannot be blamed on Sun Quan.
With the mainstream view that Mi Yang was bound to lose, Sun Quan had already made all preparations for Mi Yang's defeat.
But what Sun Quan never expected was that Mi Yang could fight back with all his strength. This not only made all Sun Quan's previous secret plans come to nothing, but also made Sun Quan feel deeply afraid.
Sun Quan was so angry that he didn't notice at all that when he was scolding Cao Zhen, there was some unnatural look on Shiyi's face.
If Cao Cao is really a waste, then he also led an army of 100,000 to besiege the city...
At the same time, Shi Yi was also deeply curious in his heart, how did Mi Yang defeat Cao Zhen?
Could it be that he really received help from heaven and earth as Zhang Zhao said?
With the continuous curses, the anger in Sun Quan's heart dissipated a lot.
After slowly regaining his composure, Sun Quan seemed to have lost all his strength and sat directly on the couch.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The bedroom instantly regained its tranquility.
After a long time, Sun Quan set his eyes on Shiyi.
"Draft an order to have Boyan return to Jianye as soon as possible."
Sun Quan's tone of words was full of helplessness.
Lu Xun, as the most trusted general by Sun Quan in recent years, had been leading troops to garrison in Yong'an to guard against Zhang Fei in Jingzhou.
Sun Quan suddenly recalled Lu Xun from Yong'an, which meant that Sun Quan had already made a decision in his mind about whether to send troops to attack Hefei.
Although Sun Quan had a sinister temperament, he was also an excellent politician.
A good politician will not be influenced by personal emotions in his decision-making.
With Mi Yang winning the Battle of Liangzhou, Jiangdong had only one way out.
Shiyi naturally understood what Sun Quan meant, but Sun Quan's words "If you are alone, you must obey me" still sounded in your ears!
It seems that the person who knows the Supreme best in the world is indeed Mi Yang.
It was Yi who understood Sun Quan's intention and got up and was about to walk out.
But Sun Quan suddenly stopped him again.
"You can draft another memorial to celebrate Liangzhou's victory."
“Remember, your words must be sincere!
Also, I heard that the general is in good spirits, so when the performance is announced, let Gu’s royal band go to Liangzhou together.”
Upon hearing Sun Quan's instructions, Shi Yi almost blurted out the words "arrogant in front and respectful in back".
However, Yi still resisted the thought of admonishing Sun Quan.
After Shiyi left the dormitory, Sun Quan remembered Mi Yang's method of defeating the enemy - using the power of the Han River to defeat more than 100,000 Wei troops in just a moment.
Mi Yang's way of defeating the enemy is what scares Sun Quan the most.
In terms of the prosperity of the water system, where in the world can compare with Shangjiangdong?
And which of the fortified cities in the east of the Yangtze River can withstand the flow of water from the Yangtze River?
Coupled with the murderous letter written by Mi Yang, Sun Quan knew that the letter was not only written for Cao Wei, but also written by Mi Yang for him.
Due to the worry in his heart, Sun Quan's eyes became more and more terrifying.
There was an idea brewing in his mind.
The rise of the Han Dynasty in recent years is all because of Mi Yang, but what if one day Mi Yang is no longer there?
As the ancients said, extreme wisdom will lead to injury!
