Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 501 Zhang Zhao's Sigh

Due to the arrival of Liu He, Liu Bei not only failed to occupy the entire Yizhou including Hanzhong, nor did he proclaim himself emperor of Shuhan, but he died of illness 20 years early.

When the news of Liu Bei's death came, not only the northern part of Yizhou, but even the whole world were deeply shocked.

When Cao Cao in Xudu heard the news, he laughed three times and then cried three times, which made Cheng Yu beside him very puzzled, and hurriedly asked the reason.

I saw Cao Cao said: "Liu Xuande started from the humble beginnings, and he was a great hero in this world. Before Liu and Xiao'er had not risen, I said that in this world, if we talk about heroes, only Liu Xuande and Cao Er Later, Liu Bei's development was really rapid, and even I couldn't help being shocked. With thousands of defeated troops, he actually occupied the three counties of Jingnan, the entire Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and ruled a vast area of ​​thousands of miles across the three states. Nearly 30. However, he was too confident and tried to compete with Liu He on his own, especially ignoring Sun Quan's sneak attack from behind, and finally lost in Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Bei lost his mind and fought with Sun Quan. Fighting for supremacy in the river, he was finally burnt to the ground by Zhou Yu. Later, Liu Bei finally realized that Liu He Xiaoer could not compete with him, and compromised with Liu He. Only then did he gain temporary stability, but how narrow-minded was he? After Liu He married Sun Quan, he died of depression. Liu Bei overwhelmed himself, first tried to challenge Liu He with his own strength, and then led his army to compete with Sun Quan on the river. Failure is inevitable, so I laugh at it.”

Cheng Yu nodded when he heard the words, but then asked, "But why did my lord cry three times?"

I saw Cao Cao lamenting: "Not for him, but for the death of the rabbit and the fox. How can I be better than Liu Bei now? Although it seems that I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, I can command the princes, but who can I command? Not only that, but he is still under the wings of Liu He. I know that the reason why Liu He did not lead his army to attack Xuzhou is mainly because he does not want the emperor, but I still have to accept it, because if there is no emperor, I will immediately fall into the encirclement and suppression of Liu He and Sun Quan's army. How can I face the enemy with tens of thousands of remnants in our mere two states? So, although I am alive now, I can barely support it. What kind of ambition? Any progress is just self-deception."

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu fell silent and sighed secretly for a moment. After a while, he suddenly said: "Didn't Sima Zhongda once mention conquering the Japanese country? My lord, why don't you give it a try? You may not be able to do it by then. It opens up a new world.”

Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "Zhongde, I am now in my [-]s, and I have already lost my aggressiveness. How long will it take me to establish a foundation in a piece of barren land? How much time do I have to wait?" What's more, I, Cao Cao, as a subject of the Han Dynasty, was born and raised here, and I am used to the prosperity and wealth of the Han Dynasty, and I am used to seeing the coronal and the romantic, loose clothes and belts, how can I live with the ignorant barbarians? Besides, since I was a child Living on land, I don’t want to go to sea to experience wind and waves, and the emperor absolutely doesn’t want to. It’s fine if I invite the emperor to Xuzhou. After all, this is the place where I am a big man, but if I take the emperor to the wild overseas, I will definitely be attacked unanimously by all the heroes in the world, and even I myself will feel uneasy."

Cheng Yu sighed immediately when he heard the words, knowing that what Cao Cao said made sense, he stopped talking, bowed his hands to Cao Cao, and backed away silently.

After that, Cao Cao was more addicted to drinking and sex, but he didn't expect that there was a wrong move. His hard work in the past few months was not in vain. If there was a concubine in the room who conceived, he would have given birth to twenty sons for him, but Cao Cao's body also quickly collapsed, especially the torment of the head wind disease, which made him miserable every day, and he wished he could die.

In Jiangdong, Sun Quan was very happy when he heard the news of Liu Bei's death. In his opinion, Yizhou would belong to him after Liu Bei died. So he ordered Zhou Yu to reorganize his troops and prepare to attack Yizhou, so as to annex Liu Bei's land in one fell swoop. power.

However, at this moment, Sun Quan heard the news that Liu He had given a guarantee to the imperial court, posthumously posthumous Liu Bei as Duke Zhaolie of Shu, and that Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, would succeed Yizhou Mu, Duke of Shu, and General of Hushi, and promised at the same time, The covenant with Yizhou remains in force.

"What? What on earth do I, my sister-in-law, want to do? I don't want such a good opportunity to annex Liu Bei's strength. If I miss this opportunity, I really don't know if there will be another one in the future?"

After Sun Quan heard the news, he couldn't help complaining in a deep voice.

At this time, Zhang Shi Zhang Zhao said: "Perhaps this is because Qin Gong does not want the lord to take advantage of the opportunity to develop and grow, and at the same time he wants to sell well in Yizhou City, right?"

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, thought carefully for a moment, then nodded and sighed: "Zi Bu, what you said should be right. It seems that my sister-in-law really doesn't have the same heart as me. What he did before was just in Use me to deal with Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei is dead, he will probably take the opportunity to regain the civil servants and generals in Yizhou next. Once he captures the northern part of Yizhou, I guess the next step will be me. This kid is really hateful. If he had known this, he would have I won’t listen to his mercy.”

I saw Zhang Zhao suddenly said: "Actually, I don't know if the lord has thought about one possibility. When the Duke of Qin really unified the northern part of Yizhou and swept away Xuzhou, if the lord surrenders to the east of the river, he will definitely be treated favorably by the Duke of Qin in the future. Coupled with the brother-sister relationship between the lord and Miss Shangxiang, the status in the future will never be lower than it is now..."

Sun Quan's face was gloomy when he heard the words, and he said coldly to Zhang Zhao: "Now I have millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River, and I will rule the river with Liu He. In terms of the vastness of the country, I may not be worse than Liu He. Liu He is now Although I am strong, there are still Cao Cao and Liu Chan in Jiangbei who have not been pacified. When he pacifies Cao Cao and Liu Chan, I will be strong enough to protect myself. Under such circumstances, why should I surrender to Liu He? Zibu, for this This kind of argument, don't talk about it in the future! I'm a little tired, you go down first."

After speaking, Sun Quan didn't look at Zhang Zhao any more, and just played with the art of war by himself.

"Hey, my good words were originally for you, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of current affairs. You have been recharging your energy these past few years. Why isn't Duke Qin? His land is wider than yours, and his talents are worse than yours. The population is large, the population is far superior, and the prosperity of agriculture and commerce is far beyond your comparison. Under such circumstances, how can you compete with him? Is it just because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River? Hehe, don't you know, the weather is not as good as Geographical advantages are not as good as human harmony, just a Yangtze River natural moat can't stop the opponent's determination to attack, I believe that it won't be long before the Jiangnan area is on fire again, and it's only the common people who will suffer."

Zhang Zhao lamented in his heart that he had good words, but the other party discarded them and listened to Zhou Yu's "two points in the world", but he actually didn't have the mind and ability to keep this foundation. This is actually the saddest thing.
