Although he is loyal to the Sun family,

But in this matter, Sun Quan's approach is indeed very wrong.

Then,

Lin Yu asked again:

"Then, old lady, where are the people in your family?"

"Why are there only you and your granddaughter?"

As soon as I mentioned this,

The old woman wiped away her tears and said:

"My 60-year-old husband."

"Two sons in their 30s."

"They were all conscripted into the army by Sun Erlang!"

"Not to mention them, even my two daughters-in-law were dragged to the battlefield because they were thicker than ordinary women."

"Now that Sun Erlang lost in the Battle of Chibi, there is no one left, and I don't know if my family members can come back alive..."

Speaking of which,

The old woman covered her granddaughter's ears and whispered:

"I'm afraid they have already died on the battlefield..."

Before she finished speaking, the old woman was already in tears.

After listening to the accusation of the old woman crying blood,

Lin Yu and the soldiers were filled with emotion.

Lin Yu looked back at Cheng Pu,

Shen Sheng asked:

"Old General Cheng."

"see it?"

"This is the fate of Sun Quan who forcibly succeeded to the throne and became an enemy of me!"

"He just ignored the people of Jiangdong for the sake of the Sun family's country!"

"In order to protect the Sun family's foundation, how many people should be buried with him?"

"This is the monarch you are loyal to?"

Cheng Pu knew he was in the wrong, so he couldn't help but feel guilty.

But he is still stubborn,

Said emphatically:

"Shouldn't it be blamed on the overlord for wanting to seize the country of Wu?"

"If the overlord doesn't come to snatch the Sun family's inheritance, why would Your Majesty bother to use force to be your enemy?"

Lin Yu couldn't help sneering and said:

"Old General Cheng, you are so stupid!"

"In troubled times, the strong prey on the weak."

"Even if I don't come to take over Wu, which of the Qin and Shu bordering Wu is a good person?"

"Once the inexperienced Sun Quan succeeds to the throne, Qin and Shu will definitely attack immediately."

"Will Sun Quan lose his country by then?"

"Isn't the people of Jiangdong going to be tormented by the flames of war?"

Cheng Pu was speechless after what he said, and stood there silently.

At this time Zhou Yu stepped forward to persuade and said:

"Old General Cheng."

"In terms of giri, my relationship with Bofu is much deeper than yours."

"My relationship with the Jiangdong Sun family is closer than yours."

"But why do I even agree with Overlord taking over Wu?"

"General, please think about it!"

Zhao Yun also nodded and said:

"Even if Old General Cheng doesn't think about himself,"

"Should we also consider the people of Jiangdong?"

"Just ask the thousands of households in Jiangdong,"

"How many people are in the same situation as this old lady?"

"I'm afraid every household has a story of suffering similar to this tear-jerking one, right?"

Although Cheng Pu was loyal to the Sun family,

But after all, he is not a person with a heart of stone,

Witnessed the suffering of the people,

After being analyzed by Lin Yu and the others again,

My heart was finally shaken.

He took a deep breath, looked up at Lin Yu,

said slowly:

"Overlord."

"In fact, the old man understands in his heart that His Majesty is definitely not your opponent."

"If this war continues, His Majesty will be defeated!"

"If the fight continues now, only the common people will suffer."

"The old man implores the Overlord to give me a chance, let the old man return to Jianye, and personally persuade His Majesty to surrender!"

Lin Yu actually waited for Cheng Pu's words,

Now his struggle with Sun Quan is not unsolvable,

In fact, it can be resolved peacefully.

As long as Sun Quan is willing to bow his head and proclaim himself a minister,

Then it's a happy ending.

Lin Yu nodded and said:

"It's very rare for General Cheng to have such awareness."

"Please do not worry."

"Sun Quan and I are related by marriage after all."

"Wu Guotai is my mother-in-law."

"If Sun Quan is willing to abdicate and let the virtuous, I will take over the country of Wu."

"I will still make him the king of Wu, and protect his prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life."

Cheng Pu never expected that Lin Yu could have such a magnanimity.

It stands to reason that Sun Quan has already broken up with him,

Even if Lin Yu beat Sun Quan as a prisoner, it is not too much,

But Lin Yu was still willing to make him King Wu,

This made Cheng Pu very pleased.

He hastily bowed and said:

"With the words of Overlord, the old man can rest assured!"

"Please don't worry, Overlord, this old man will definitely end this catastrophe!"

Chapter 159 Buying People's Hearts

Hearing that Cheng Pu himself promised to go back to persuade Sun Quan to surrender,

Lin Yu no longer made things difficult for him.

Immediately asked Zhou Yu to prepare a new set of clothes for him,

Put on a fine horse,

Bring dry food,

On the same day, he was sent out of the city to return to Jianye.

Looking at Cheng Pu's back all the way away,

Zhou Yu said expectantly:

"Lin Yu."

"I hope this plan will be successful."

"If Sun Quan recognized his own lack of strength and bowed his head and surrendered early."

"There will be fewer casualties in this war."

Lin Yu shook his head without hope and said:

"I am afraid that with Sun Quan's temper, he will not admit defeat so easily."

"But anyway, I have to try."

Zhou Yu nodded in approval and said:

"Ah."

At this time Lin Yu said again:

"correct."

"The two cities of Kuaiji and Yangling have a good harvest this year."

"There is a lot of food and grass stocked in the city."

"Immediately send people to the country of Wu to rescue these people who have been looted by Sun Quan."

These two cities are where Lin Yu made his fortune,

At the beginning, the system rewarded him with a batch of hybrid rice seedlings,

He was also rewarded with the Mohism's mechanism technique, the automatic waterwheel,

With the addition of these two agricultural artifacts, the grain harvest will naturally be bumper.

And after hearing this,

Zhou Yu couldn't help saying with admiration:

"Lin Yu, it has to be you!"

"Sun Bofu only cared about expanding the territory,"

"Sun Quan only cared about keeping his own country,"

"Only you can still care about the people when you are fighting, and worry about whether the people will have enough to eat or whether they will be hungry."

Lin Yu smiled slightly,

Modestly said:
