Chapter 657 Chibi No More (1/2)(2/2)
I am sincerely convinced. After all, Zhou Yu is young and has less qualifications than Cheng Pu and others, but he is in a high position.
Previously, when Sun Bofu was still alive, he could make Cheng Pu and others speechless with his domineering appearance.
But in my heart, I may not agree with Zhou Yu... And Zhou Yu and Sun Bofu are brothers-in-law. Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he has suppressed Sun Ce's family and may not be close to Zhou Yu. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would not be stationed in Chaisang and would not return for many years.
In Wu County, there must be suspicion between the two.
On the outside, Jiang seems to be in harmony, but inside there is actually intrigue.
I estimate that the main combatants will be as follows: Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Zhuge Jin...
But the rest of the people may not agree. Sun Quan himself may also be hesitant about war or peace, and he cannot make a decision in a short time."
"There is another person who needs to pay more attention."
Jia Xu suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, there is a guest beside Sun Quan named Ma Da. This person's origin is unknown, but he is very important to Sun Quan. He usually goes in and out of the Marquis' mansion with Sun Quan, and never leaves him for a moment. This person
, you must also be careful and don’t slack off.”
motor?
Cao Peng was stunned!
Who is this?
He was certain that there was no information about this person in his memory, not even any impression.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Peng asked softly: "Sir, I can't find out the origin of the motor?"
Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This man lives in seclusion and his whereabouts are strange. I have sent out many agents, but there is no news. I think he himself is very careful."
"Is there a portrait?"
"No...this man always wears a bamboo hat and covers his face with a hanging curtain.
It is estimated that not many people in Jiangdong know him. So so far, we still don’t know the specific identity of this person.”
Motor... motor...
I still have the engine!
This is a variable, and for Cao Peng, he has to be cautious.
However, Cao Cao didn't pay attention and put all his thoughts on what Cao Peng said before. After a long time, Cao Cao suddenly said: "Then who do you think Ah Fu should send to Jiangdong?"
How can I know this?
Cao Peng really couldn't decide who was suitable to be sent as envoy to Jiangdong.
Because if he doesn't do it right, this person will meet Zhuge Liang in Jiangdong.
Cao Peng still had some concerns about Zhuge Liang, who could eloquently argue with other scholars. This guy's eloquence was absolutely amazing, and it was not easy to find an opponent who could match him.
However, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Cao Peng suddenly said: "I heard that Jiang Ziyi and Zhou Yu are classmates?"
"You mean, Ziyi can take on this important task?"
"Wrong, I mean, no matter who you send, you can't send Ziyi."
"ah?"
Cao Peng's words stunned everyone.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Peng with some curiosity. After a while, he suddenly smiled and asked: "Then tell me, why can't you send him to Jiangdong? Ziyi is famous for his eloquence in Yangyue. You also said that he and Zhou Yu were classmates.
Yi, isn’t this the best lobbyist, can you lobby Zhou Yu?”
"The problem is, Ziyi is an honest person."
Regarding Cao Peng's reason, Cao Cao was startled and then laughed.
Guo Jia also nodded lightly and said with a smile: "If you are an honest person, it is really not suitable to go to Jiangdong... Zhou Gongjin is a scheming person. Let an honest person go, it will add chaos and will not help. However, I can recommend someone.
, this person once went to Jiangdong as an envoy and had good friendship with Zhang Zhao and others. He had a very good reputation, and Sun Quan did not dare to neglect this person... If you are cautious, quick-witted, and have excellent eloquence, you can go on an envoy
Jiangdong."
Xun Yan?
This is indeed an excellent choice.
First of all, Xun Yan would not be too arrogant. His temperament is gentle and elegant. He is a person who pays great attention to demeanor and appearance. He is also quite kind in leading people. He is also famous in Jiangdong and has some friendship with Jiang Biao and other civil servants. In recent years,
, Xun Yan rarely made public appearances. Especially after Xun Yue resigned, he kept a low profile. Now he is the captain of the school in Yecheng and was ordered to supervise the construction of Santai in Yecheng, so he is not very busy.
Cao Cao thought for a while and asked: "Who else can be sent as an envoy?"
Xun Yu, Dong Zhao and others recommended candidates one by one.
Among them, Dong Zhao recommended Liu Ye as an envoy, which won Cao Cao's heart.
These things have nothing to do with Cao Peng. For him, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the rest is Guo Jia's business.
So, he hid aside, drinking honey water, looking leisurely and contented.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu was unwilling to let him go just like that.
Xun Yu liked Cao Peng very much, but he also had some grudges with Cao Peng. Previously, his brother Xun Chen died in Wuyin in battle... As for Xun Yu, he also knew about this, no wonder Cao Peng. The two armies are facing each other, not you.
Death is my life. Since Xun Chen chose to assist Liu Bei, he is an enemy. But no matter what, Xun Chen is Xun Yu's brother. How can he not complain if his brother is killed?
Seeing that Cao Peng was so leisurely, Xun Yu suddenly said: "You are studying now, why are you on errands?"
"Well, Youxue was stationed in Fancheng and wiped out the bandits around Xiangyang. Not long ago, he was also responsible for welcoming and seeing off the Yizhou delegation, and he did an extremely good job.
I'm just thinking about what arrangements to make for him next."
Xun Yu suddenly laughed!
But Cao Peng had an ominous premonition.
Just as he was about to speak, Xun Yu said: "Actually, why should the Prime Minister hesitate?
Now that the strategy has been decided to appease Jiangdong, Jingzhou must be controlled as soon as possible. The current chaos in Jingzhou is nothing more than Liu Qi in Jiangxia and Liu Bei in Changsha. Why not divide the army into two groups, capture Jiangxia along the way, and contain Liu Bei along the way? If Jiangxia is captured, Sun Quan can also be
, adding a bit of pressure.
I know that Ah Fu is like a god in his military skills.
Previously in Nanyang, Liu Bei was defeated one after another... Let's just let him contain Liu Bei, and then the prime minister will attack Jiangxia with all his strength... Haha, I'm sure Ah Fu will not refuse."
Cao Peng was stunned!
To be honest, he really didn't want to fight Liu Bei if he didn't have to.
That was an old fox, extremely cunning. Although Cao Peng said that he had achieved many victories, he did not dare to say that he could defeat Liu Bei. After all, the old fox was not a vegetarian in his military life... Although the Battle of Nanyang was a victory, there were still many things inside.
There are too many chances.
Although Liu Bei had newly acquired Wuling in Changsha, he had Liu Pan's full support.
In addition, Wuxi barbarians came to help, and Jiangdong soldiers and horses served as foreign aid, so their strength was no longer what it was before.
Looking at Cao Peng's side, since Xun Yu said that he would attack Jiangxia with all his strength, it means that it is impossible to give Cao Peng too much help. With an army of 200,000, how many men and horses can obey Cao Peng's orders? Looking at Xun Yu's posture, it seems that he is still
An unknown number! Is this guy...just seeking revenge?
Cao Peng rolled his eyes and guessed some clues.
He also knew that Xun Yu might not mean to harm him, but he definitely had the intention of making him feel uncomfortable.
"Afu, what do you think?"
Cao Cao was also a little moved. He looked at Cao Peng and asked in a deep voice.
"Since the Prime Minister has sent me an order, how dare I not obey? However, Liu Bei now has the help of Liu Pan, and his troops and horses are stronger than those in Nanyang. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to deal with it alone. So I am bold and ask the Prime Minister to ask Mr. Wen Ruo to help me.
, then Liu Xuande has nothing to worry about."
Jia Xu suddenly put his hands on his hands and laughed.
Guo Jia smiled and looked at Xun Yu.
Xun You smiled and nodded in agreement, "It is reasonable for you to ask me to do this."
Cao Cao suddenly remembered the situation during the Battle of White Horse when Jia Xu recommended Cao Peng, but was dragged into it by Cao Peng. The scene in front of him was very similar to that time. However, Cao Peng dared to tell Xun Yu to assist him.
The request may not be able to be expressed by another person.
Who is Xun Yu?
That is the representative figure of the Xun family!
When he was the minister of the dynasty, he was the minister... If you look at his position alone, he was on the same level as Cao Cao.
However, Cao Peng asked Xun Yu to be his military advisor, which was extremely daring.
However, this seems quite interesting... Cao Cao smiled and looked at Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, do you think Ah Fu's invitation is feasible?"
