Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 457: Ask Zhou Yu about Foreign Affairs

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu asked, "Before this, your elder brother said something else. Have you forgotten it?"

Hearing his mother's reminder, Sun Quan's mind flashed through scenes of that day like a movie. Suddenly, he thought of a sentence and blurted it out.

"Ask Zhang Zhao if you have any questions about domestic affairs; ask Zhou Yu if you have any questions about foreign affairs."

"Yes, that's what I said." Madam Wu smiled faintly, "May I ask my son, is sending troops to intimidate Jingzhou an internal or external matter?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly understood.

"Thank you for your reminder, mother. I will call Gongjin back right away."

When Zhou Yu came back and heard Sun Quan's introduction, he thought for a moment and then directly refused, "My lord, Liu Huangshu is extremely wise and ambitious. Once he eliminates Yuan Shao, he will definitely march south to capture Jingzhou. Then the former general can be avenged.

But my lord, think about it, after Emperor Liu has taken over Jingxiang, where will he attack next? "

"Jiangdong?" After Zhou Yu's analysis, Sun Quan instantly understood the key.

"Yes, it is Jiangdong. Now cooperating with Liu Huangshu is undoubtedly like drinking poison to quench thirst. Although this method can quench thirst, it will not last long before the whole body will be poisoned and die.

As for the problem of being inappropriate, I don't think there is any need to worry about it at all.

Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the princes are fighting, the Han Dynasty is just a banner.

In my opinion, whether this flag exists or not makes no difference at all.

Our ability to gain a foothold in Yangzhou ultimately depends on the weapons, armor, money and food in our hands. As long as these things can be supplied, Yangzhou will be pacified soon."

In Zhou Yu's eyes, the current unrest is not worth mentioning at all. As long as the army arrives, it will be quelled quickly.

As for Sun Jian's hatred, Zhou Yu explained it this way: "Liu Biao is a conservative ruler who is not a powerful leader. As long as you work hard to govern, you will be able to conquer Jingzhou and kill Liu Biao in less than five years."

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan no longer had any doubts in his mind.

"Gong Jin's words have enlightened me, and I have no more doubts in my heart. I will let Zi Bu send Guo Jia away tomorrow."

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and continued, "My lord, there is no need to rush this matter. Since Guo Jia is here, let's leave him alone for a few days."

"Guo Jia came here in the name of the emperor. Will such neglect lead to criticism from the world?"

"Those corrupt scholars are only good at talking, so don't worry about them. The reason I waited for a few days is not because I am being negligent, but because I have doubts in my heart."

"What's Gongjin worried about?"

Zhou Yu said slowly: "Liu Huangshu is a great hero of the time, with extraordinary wisdom and strategy, and Guo Fengxiao is also a distinguished man from an aristocratic family, with extensive knowledge, they will certainly be able to predict our thoughts.

I am worried that even if we disagree, they will have a backup plan to bring us into conflict with Liu Biao."

Upon hearing this, Sun Quan looked worried.

"How should we deal with this matter? Does Gongjin have any plan in mind?"

"We need to wait for someone to break the deadlock."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Liu Biao's envoy."

Sun Quan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Gongjin, do you think Liu Biao will send an envoy to Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu replied affirmatively: "The emperor's envoy is going to Jiangdong, which is obviously aimed at Jingzhou. Liu Biao is also a local lord, so how can he not understand the meaning? I predict that his envoy will arrive within two days."

Guo Jia waited at the inn for several days, but no one came. However, he was not anxious at all. He spent the whole day drinking tea and listening to music, and his life was quite comfortable.

Zhao Yun asked: "Fengxiao, do you think Jiangdong will agree to our conditions this time?"

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "The fact that they haven't come to visit for such a long time has already shown their attitude. I think the people in Jiangdong are afraid that their lord's momentum is too strong, so they have to take precautions in advance."

"Now that Jiangdong doesn't agree, what should we do?"

"This matter is actually very simple. When we first came here, we entered the city in the name of the emperor. How could Liu Biao not know this news? If you were Liu Biao, what would you think?"

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "I will certainly have doubts in my heart, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to accomplish anything if I only have doubts. It doesn't matter how long it takes for Liu Biao to find out Jiangdong's attitude."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Zilong is right. Our coming to Jiangdong will increase Liu Biao's suspicion, but Jiangdong's attitude will only make Liu Biao believe us 30%. But now that I am back, I will use the name of the emperor to reward Sun Quan. How will Liu Biao feel after knowing this?"

"If there is an imperial edict, Liu Biao will probably believe it 60%."

Guo Jia lay on the couch, changed into a comfortable position, and then slowly said: "Yes, the emperor will not reward Sun Quan for no reason. If Liu Biao knows the edict, he will definitely be more suspicious of Jiangdong. Their two families are enemies. If Liu Biao has this suspicion in his heart, how can he not be on guard?

At this time, an army suddenly appeared, under the banner of Sun Quan, and attacked Jiangxia from Lujiang. Should Liu Biao have believed it completely?

After hearing Guo Jia's plan, Zhao Yun clapped his hands and laughed.

"Great! After these events, even if Liu Biao is suspicious, he will believe in Sun Quan's determination to make friends with the lord. At that time, no matter how Jiangdong explains, it will not be able to eliminate Liu Biao's suspicion."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Since we have come to Jiangdong this time, whether they agree or not, it will not have any impact on us."

Zhao Yun was about to answer when he heard a voice.

"What a brilliant plan! I wonder if this brilliant plan came from Uncle Liu or from you, Guo Fengxiao?"

As the voice fell, an extremely handsome young man walked out slowly. He was tall, with a feather fan and a scarf, and had an elegant face. There was a hint of admiration on his face, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Guo Jia said lazily: "Who did it? Does Gongjin think this is important?"

Zhou Yu put away his smile and asked seriously, "Do you know me?"

"I have long heard of the elegance of Jiangdong Zhou Lang, but never had the chance to meet him. Now that I have seen him, I find him to be truly dazzling and one cannot look at him directly.

If it weren't for you, Zhou Gongjin, I really don't know who else in Jiangdong could be so charming and outstanding?"

Zhou Yu looked carefully at Guo Jia, who had a lazy face. From his appearance, he didn't look very impressive, but Zhou Yu knew how terrible this man was. He hid behind Liu Huangshu and kept offering him one clever plan after another, which enabled Liu Huangshu to occupy three states in such a short time.

In the confrontation with Yuan Shao, Emperor Liu Bei repeatedly deployed surprising tactics and actually defeated Yuan Shao, who had the upper hand, and made him vomit blood.

After hearing about their plans in this battle, Zhou Yu was amazed.

"It is very important to me. If this plan was from Feng Xiao, I have reason to suspect that Liu Huangshu was able to occupy so much territory because of Feng Xiao's plan. This way, my next response will also be different."

Guo Jia continued lazily, "I understand what Gongjin means. If this is my plan, Gongjin will cut off my head and send it to Liu Biao, and then all the follow-up measures will lose their effect.

Unfortunately, you are wrong. I am proud of my talent, but my master Liu Huangshu is a hundred times wiser than me. If you dare to cut off my head, within three months, the land of Jiangdong will be in my master's hands. "

When Zhao Yun heard the meaning of the words, he gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand and stared at Zhou Yu.

Guo Jia glanced at Zhao Yun and said calmly, "Zilong, there is no need to do this. To be honest, I really hope Gongjin will take action. If you can exchange my head for the land of Jiangdong, this deal will be very cost-effective."
