Chapter 341: Ask Zhang Zhao if domestic affairs are not decided, ask Zhou Yu if foreign affairs are not decided
Return.
On the surface, Cao's army at Guandu Port and Liyang City retreated.
Secretly, starting from Qiao County, Peiguo, Cao Cao's hometown, passing through Liang State, and then passing through Guandu, Cao Cao was urgently mobilizing migrant workers to start digging a canal, a canal named "Suiyang".
This was to facilitate the transportation of military supplies during the next Northern Expedition, and to open up the hub of material exchanges between the north and south of the Yellow River. In this way, food from the Central Plains could go north along the canal and be sent directly to every city and county in the north.
Yi Xiaotian mentioned that "water can carry a boat and also capsize it."
Cao Cao always kept this sentence in mind. Even if he evacuates from the Yellow River now, he must do everything possible...
The opening of Suiyang Canal is a project. In addition to military transportation, it is more important to show an attitude. It shows that Cao Cao is different from Yuan Shao. He will help establish material exchanges between the Central Plains and the north, so that the people can truly
Live a good life.
In addition, Cao Cao also ordered...
When retreating, he must not touch any of the people's food wherever he passes, let alone trample on the farms. If anyone dares to touch one of the people's chickens, he will kill them as chickens!
While retreating troops, while capturing the hearts and minds of the people.
According to Yi Xiaotian's strategy of "extending benevolence and righteousness"...Cao Cao also naturally benefited greatly.
For a time, Cao Jun's military discipline was strict, and Qiu Wu's voice spread throughout the north.
Faintly.
In the streets and alleys of cities and counties in the north, the image of Cao Cao is depicted as extremely tall! It seems... what the people want!
Next…
That is to say, the spearhead was turned around. Tens of thousands of Cao Cao's troops cooperated with Cao Cao to perform an annual drama, and the military front was directed at Jingxiang and Soochow.
Speaking of which, in order to execute Brother Yi's script and this move, there is no flaw in it...
In the middle, there was a small episode.
In order to put on a show, Cao Cao specially sent a message to Sun Quan in the name of the imperial court, asking Sun Quan to send a younger brother or son to Xudu...
On the surface, they were bathing in dragon kindness and sharing glory and wealth. In fact, when Sun Quan received the letter, he understood that Cao Cao was worried about him and asked him to send hostages!
Today's Sun Quan has just succeeded to the throne for only two years. Most of his generals and subordinates have not completely surrendered. There are many warlords who have declared independence in Soochow, and his not-so-friendly neighbor Shan Yue also invades from time to time...
Sun Quan really couldn't decide for a while.
Immediately... Sun Quan invited Zhang Zhao and others to discuss it in detail.
"Everyone, I heard that Cao Cao gave up the Northern Expedition and marched southward. This is a direct attack on Jingzhou and Soochow."
Sun Quan's face looked very ugly, and he continued with a frown. "Now, we in Soochow are suffering from internal and external troubles, but Cao Cao even wrote a letter asking me to send a younger brother or son to serve as an official in Xudu... Everyone, tell me, should we send him or not?
Not sending it?"
Once this question is raised...
The officials of Soochow Wu suddenly started discussing. Speaking of things, the civil servants of Soochow Wu had no other abilities. When it came to eloquence, all of them were outstanding.
After arguing for a long time, we still didn't come to any constructive conclusion.
"Lord, send him off... Cao Cao is so powerful now that we can't afford to offend him, but we can still afford to hide him!" suggested the compromise faction headed by Zhang Zhao.
"You can't give it away. If you give it away, you will be cowardly. Why should we be afraid of him? Come on, fight, what are you afraid of?" The strong faction headed by Cheng Pu put forward a completely different view.
Both sides have different opinions and disputes, and there is no way to reach a consensus...
Even Sun Quan didn't know what to do now.
But at this moment...
"The Governor of Zhou Dynasty has arrived..." A message came...
But I saw an extremely handsome young man with elegant manners, beautiful appearance, and elegant demeanor walking quickly into the government office.
That's right, he is none other than Zhou Yu. As the saying goes, "If you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu."
After hearing the letter from Cao Cao, Zhou Yu rushed over without stopping.
Because he knew that these old guys from Soochow might have a good way of dealing with domestic affairs, but they couldn't understand such foreign-related matters. Even if they argued for ten days and ten nights, they still couldn't come up with a solution.
Of course, Zhou Yu's heart was like a mirror. Except for himself, no one in the entire Soochow could understand Cao Cao's move.
"Dudu Zhou."
Seeing Zhou Yu, Sun Quan's brows relaxed... "You must have heard about Cao Cao asking for hostages in the name of the imperial court... Governor Zhou..."
Before Sun Quan finished speaking, Zhou Yu directly held up his hands and said, "Lord, this hostage cannot be given away!"
Be firm in your words.
Zhou Yu looked around, his eyes coldly scanning every minister present.
It was hard to imagine that a handsome and elegant man could emit a chilling light that was so chilling. Those who advocated compromise trembled in their hearts and couldn't help but take a step back.
Zhou Yu's voice continued.
"If you send the lord's brother or son there, it will be nothing more than making you a marquis. Although it is more glamorous, it actually has no meaning. At that time, Cao Cao will be able to issue orders to us all day long. As long as he is a little bit
If we don't accept it, they will threaten us with hostages, and we will become lambs to be slaughtered with our hands and feet tied, being slaughtered by others and unable to move!"
Huo…
As soon as Zhou Yu's words were spoken, they immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the compromisers. They all raised their brows and planned to argue.
"The words of Governor Zhou are wrong. Now Cao Cao is powerful and his troops are pointing directly at Jingzhou and Soochow. Based on the current situation of Soochow, can it be resisted? Governor Zhou, don't delay the master's plan and cause trouble."
!”
This was said by Zhang Zhao...
The so-called "ask Zhang Zhao if the internal affairs are in doubt", Zhang Zhao is a senior figure and has a special status in Soochow. His words, not to mention Zhou Yu, even Sun Quan cannot turn a deaf ear.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Unexpectedly, in the face of Zhang Zhao's doubts, Zhou Yu laughed loudly. "Mr. Zhang, I guessed when I came here that there must be some people who think that Cao Cao is so powerful that we in Soochow can't afford to offend him. Haha, but the fact is
Yes, this is completely wrong."
At this point, Zhou Yu's voice became even louder.
"Cao Cao is going south now. If he wants to attack us, even if my lord goes to Xudu as a hostage, he will attack us! If he doesn't attack us, it can only be said that he doesn't want to attack us, and he has no way to do it! So,
Sending the hostages is only beneficial to Cao Cao, but not beneficial to us at Soochow, so we cannot send them away!"
At this point, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, he stood with his hands behind his hands, and his next words seemed to have deliberately raised his voice.
"Besides, Cao Cao's move to go south is just to deceive others. His real purpose is still in the north... He will not really go south!"
Um...this...
Zhou Yu's opinion was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was stunned.
Intelligence is coming out every day. Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops are heading south every day?
Why...how come that in the eyes of the Grand Governor Zhou Yu, he is determined to be in the north? Do you really want to attack the north? Why send troops to the south...Isn't this...the opposite direction?
When he thought of this, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but ask questions.
However, before his voice could be heard, it was already covered by Zhou Yu's crisp and hearty words.
"Everyone, it is impossible for you to understand Cao Cao's move. Even I have tried hard to understand that this is a plan of 'attacking from the east and attacking in the west', 'going in the opposite direction', 'watching the fire from across the bank', and 'sitting back and reaping the benefits'..."
Haha, it won’t be long before all the four states of Qing, You, Bing, and Ji will be in Cao Cao’s hands.”
Huo... sounds from the east and attacks from the west, going in the opposite direction, watching the fire from across the bank and reaping the benefits.
Everyone was startled... They were thinking about these four words carefully. They seemed to be able to understand a little bit, but after all, they still had countless house numbers in their minds...
After these four words are thrown out.
Zhou Yu's expression became much more serious, and his tone became more meticulous.
"Everyone, you must have a lot of doubts, but it doesn't matter, let's wait and see! However, I can be sure that Cao Cao will not come to kill him! Cao Cao's move is a wonderful move, and one move is enough to capture the entire north."
"The only thing I'm curious about is that although Cao Cao is practicing this move, who came up with it? Is it Cao Cao? Or is it Yingchuan Talent? Or is it someone else..."
"There is no doubt that the person who can come up with this move is probably more talented and resourceful than me, Zhou Yu. I am afraid that he will become an insurmountable link between us and Cao Cao in the future.
Gaps and constraints!”
Hmm...talent, learning, and resourcefulness are superior to Zhou Yu's.
Huo...an insurmountable gap and constraint in Soochow!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this...
Zhou Yu is a arrogant person, he can say such things...this...
Everyone suddenly became extremely curious about Cao Cao's strategy of going south to "attack the east and attack the west", and they were even more cautious about Cao Cao's letter...
Everyone wants to know, was Governor Zhou's prediction correct?
How exactly is Cao Cao going to make this move? What’s the beauty of it?
Will all the north belong to Cao Cao?
A series of doubts gathered on everyone's forehead, but Zhou Yu saw through everything...
It seems that... the entire Soochow, including Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, the ministers, and Zhou Yu himself, have become pawns on this chessboard... Although it is insignificant, it can still promote the development of the situation!
The most important thing, even though Zhou Yu knew it, he had no way to destroy this shocking chessboard.
Huh...Zhou Yu Changhu's tone.
The Yuan family is afraid that they will be completely ruined because of this plan!
