Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 525 Confident Sun Quan

After Yu Fan said goodbye to Liu He, he returned to Wu County and immediately met Sun Quan.

Sun Quan welcomed Yu Fan back with a smile on his face, and let him into the study.As soon as Yu Fan took his seat, he asked impatiently about the situation of this mission.

I saw Yu Fan smiling and said: "To be honest, my lord, after meeting Duke Qin this time, I told Duke Qin about redeeming the governor of Zhou Dynasty. Duke Qin invited my lord to cede Danyang County to him. The official said that Danyang was owned by the emperor of the Han Dynasty and was not owned by the lord. There was no such thing as ceding or not. If you wanted a fiefdom, you could only ask the emperor for it. Although Qin Gong was very dissatisfied, he could only apologize to the official. Of course, , but the Governor of Zhou did not let him go. Later, Duke Qin told his subordinates that the reason why he sent troops to severely punish our army was mainly because the Governor of Zhou ignored his warning and launched an attack on the Shu army without permission. Now he has captured Zhou Commander, we will naturally punish him well and send him back when the punishment is over. After all, our army is related to the other party by marriage, so it is not easy for him to cause too much trouble."

"Oh? Are you saying that my brother-in-law has no ill intentions towards me? He doesn't want to destroy me, Jiangdong?" After hearing Yu Fan's words, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked a little worried.

"Exactly, Duke Qin has no intention of destroying me Jiangdong." Yu Fan nodded and said.

"But why did his generals slander me for killing my brother?" Sun Quan's face was still full of confusion and he asked Yu Fan.

Yu Fan sighed, and said slowly: "Duke Qin said, this is a deliberate slander made by his generals in order to undermine the morale of our army. Duke Qin has already punished those generals who slandered the lord. Moreover, those people were fined and paid in front of the subordinate officials, and the soldiers who made meritorious service were no longer rewarded."

"Oh? Is that true? In this way, my injustice can finally be cleared, and I can finally rest assured. My brother-in-law and I are indeed in-laws, and he always takes care of my face. I will repay this kindness sooner or later."

Sun Quan can really breathe a sigh of relief now, because he has been convinced that the rumors that he killed his brother before seem to be a tactic deliberately slandered by someone, not because someone knew the truth at the beginning. He broke into a cold sweat secretly, because under the current situation, if his murder of his brother was exposed, not only would he not be able to be the Lord of Jiangdong, but his life would be in danger.

But for the so-called repayment, this is only what Sun Quan said on the surface. Now he has secretly decided that after the end of this battle, he will follow Zhuge Jin's suggestion and form an alliance with the Shu army in order to protect himself. In the future, once he has the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and deal with Liu He, he will definitely take action without hesitation, in order to avenge the hatred of his own army of 10,000+ being wiped out this time.

Obviously he had the opportunity to conquer Shu and divide the world with Liu He, but Liu He suddenly interfered, causing all his efforts in the past few years to be in vain, and he was also worried that he would be annexed by Liu He at any time. He had had enough.

"It's just that the current Shu State is under the dictatorship of Guan. This person hates me to the core. If he wants to achieve union with the Shu State, he has to contact Zhuge Liang secretly. I believe that with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, he wants to seize the political power of the Shu State and weaken it. It’s not hopeless to seize Guan’s authority.”

Sun Quan didn't speak at this time, his green eyes flickered as he was thinking about how to deal with it.

After Yu Fan went down to rest, Sun Quan ordered people to inquire about the movements of Liu He's army. When he heard that Liu He's army had retreated to Jiangling, he was completely relieved. It seemed that what Yu Fan said was true. Liu He He has no intention of destroying himself.

Just when Sun Quan was about to join forces with Zhuge Liang, he suddenly heard the news that Cao Cao had led an army of [-] people to attack Danyang. He was furious and shouted: "Cao Cao, you dare to take advantage of the situation and attack Danyang. I can't defeat Liu." And, can’t I still beat you?”

Immediately, he ordered that the [-] troops defending Liu He be transferred to Danyang. Together with the [-] troops in Wu County and the [-] troops in Danyang, a total of [-] troops were formed to fight Cao Cao to the death.

"Hmph, the morale of our army is low, and my prestige needs to be improved. It just so happens that you, an old man, are attacking my Danyang. I will defeat you today to boost morale and enhance my prestige! Old thief, although your land warfare is powerful, but In a one-on-one situation, if our army still loses to you in water warfare, then how can I have the dignity to survive in the world?"

Sun Quan immediately ordered the veteran general Huang Gai to be the main general, Ling Cao and Ling Tong's father and son as deputy generals, and Yu Fan as the military advisor to lead the army to fight against Cao Cao.

It only took Sun Quan a few days to arrive at Qu'a. After arriving there, he immediately went to the riverside to check on the military situation. He found that although Cao Cao's army had a lot of warships, most of them were small boats, and the soldiers were not used to fighting on board. , Unable to stand the bumps, many soldiers lay directly on the deck, not even daring to move, and many soldiers vomited desperately, which seemed a bit embarrassing.

"Haha, how dare such a waste dare to fight with us? It is simply vulnerable. Pass on the order that our army will fight the enemy on the river tomorrow. This battle must show our army's prestige and let the old thief know. It's not easy to provoke."

Sun Quan looked at the image of Cao Jun, looked up to the sky and laughed, so proud that he actually issued the order for a decisive battle.

But I saw Yu Fan on the side said: "My lord, this matter may not be that easy. I saw that Cao Cao's army was in chaos but did not panic. It seems that there must be an ambush. Cao Cao has been in truce for many years and has not developed an army, so he thinks that he He must be concentrating on training the navy. Besides, his Qingzhou and Xuzhou are both close to the sea, so it is not difficult to train the navy. Therefore, although we must win the battle tomorrow, we must also beware of his treacherous schemes to avoid Suffer and be fooled.”

Sun Quan waved his hand and said with a laugh: "Zhongxiang, you think too highly of Cao Cao. Although he is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he is now a coward under the pressure of my brother-in-law. He doesn't even dare to express his anger. What else can we do? Besides, our army has always been the best in the world in water warfare... Ahem, no matter what, we can definitely defeat Cao Cao. With the strength of our army, we want to win tomorrow's battle. , it’s so easy, I don’t believe that old thief can turn the sky upside down.”

"But my lord..."

"Okay, okay, Zhongxiang, I know you are loyal, but you are not as good as me in grasping the general situation of the enemy and ourselves. As for water warfare, you are even worse than me. This is different from land warfare. You, just Just wait for the celebration drink with us tomorrow."

"Hehe, I have advised you in advance. Since you don't listen, although you can win this time, the loss of strength is inevitable. But you can't blame me. On the contrary, I can gain your trust because of this. , this is a good thing for our army, killing two birds with one stone."

In the past, Yu Fan would have jumped up in excitement, but now he was so happy that Sun Quan didn't listen, he bowed his hand to him, and then went down to rest.
