Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 502 The army attacked, Sun Quan was forced



"My lord, Liu Biao has mobilized another [-] troops in Changsha County, trying to attack Yichun."

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao in a panic and asked, "Aiqing, what should we do? There are only less than [-] troops left in Wu, and [-] of them are sailors. They confronted Cao Shuo's navy at Pengze Lake."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sun Ce died, Liu Biao couldn't sit still.

Zhang Zhao suggested, "Your Majesty, our army is no longer able to deal with Liu Biao's army. I suggest that you surrender to Wei and seek Wei's protection."

Sun Ben said angrily: "The world of our Wu Kingdom was brought down by the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers. How can we give it up to others?"

Zhang Zhao asked, "Who can defeat Liu Biao's [-] troops?"

"This……"

All the generals looked embarrassed, the so-called clever woman can't cook without rice, they are short of soldiers now, it is impossible to repel Liu Biao's army.

And Liu Biao bought a lot of bows and arrows from Cao Shuo to restrain their equipment, so that they are all huddled in the city now, not daring to fight the opponent head-on.

Sun Quan looked down at the civil and military officials with a depressed face. The civil officials were headed by Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and he was a vassal to Wei Guo, while the military officials were headed by Huang Gai and Han Dang, and he was here to recruit soldiers.

The crowd quarreled and quarreled for more than an hour, but no result was reached. Sun Quan didn't know what to do, so he sent the ministers back.

Sun Quan came to Mrs. Wu's residence and asked, "My queen, the country of Wu is in danger. What should we do?"

Mrs. Wu said: "The command of Wu's army is in the hands of Zhou Yu. Why don't you ask Zhou Yu? Do you remember what your brother said before he died? Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs."

Sun Quan sighed, Zhou Yu is in Pengze Lake now, how could he have time to come back.

If Wei Jun took advantage of Zhou Yu's absence and suddenly rushed into Pengze Lake, they would be powerless to defend the surrounding towns.

"Queen, our country of Wu can't fight anymore."

Mrs. Wu pulled Sun Quan to her side, held his hand and said, "My lord, your elder brother took down Wu, Danyang, and Yuzhang counties in less than two years when three thousand soldiers and horses rebelled. There are [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, can't we defend Yuzhang County?"

"However, our state of Wu is not only facing Liu Biao, but also the mighty state of Wei, and we are unable to deal with it."

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Wu patted Sun Quan's palm, it was really embarrassing for him, she became the king of Wu at the age of 14.

Compared with Sun Ce, he is really far behind.

"Well, I'll write a letter to my sister to see if she can make Wei Guo retreat."

"Queen, you mean, my aunt is in Wei?"

Mrs. Wu said earnestly: "You will know about this sooner or later. In fact, I sent her out at the beginning."

Sun Quan asked in bewilderment, "Why did the queen mother do this?"

Sending my aunt to the state of Wei, isn't this like a sheep going into the mouth of a tiger? My aunt is only in her 20s. With her appearance, is it possible that Cao Shuo is not attracted to her?

Mrs. Wu didn't answer Sun Quan's question. Why did she do this? It's not Sun Ce's problem. She didn't want Mrs. Wu to stay in Wu, because she had a son by her side.

"Don't ask that."

Madam Wu took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, handed it to Sun Quan and said, "Send some reliable men to send this letter to Longteng Chamber of Commerce."

Sun Quan was horrified again. Instead of sending it directly to Wei State, he actually had to go through the hands of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce?
After Sun Quan left with the letter, Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Quan's back and shed two lines of tears.

"If my husband is here, how can I allow that old Liu Biao to be arrogant."

The news of Liu Biao's increase of troops in Changsha soon spread to Zhou Yu's army. Zhou Yu hurried back to Nanchang City without stopping, fearing that if he came back too late, Sun Quan would do something irrational.

"Report to Your Majesty, the chief inspector is asking to see you!"

Governor?
Sun Quan was horrified, what would happen to the navy when Zhou Yu came back at this time.

"Let him in!"

Zhou Yu came to Sun Quan's residence alone, and Sun Quan asked eagerly, "Governor, why are you back?"

Zhou Yu said, "Your Majesty, Liu Biao sent an army here to attack Yichun. How can I not come back?"

"Can……"

Just as Sun Quan was about to speak, Zhou Yu said, "I heard that your majesty wants to seek asylum from Wei?"

Sun Quan nodded, there is no need to hide this matter from Zhou Yu.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. This is seeking skin from a tiger. In the end, it is our country of Wu who will be injured."

Sun Quan asked, "Does the governor have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

"This…… "

Zhou Yu was silent. If he had a good plan to retreat from the enemy, why would he rush back to persuade Sun Quan?

"Since the governor has no good strategy to retreat from the enemy, do you want to watch the country of Wu perish?"

"But the Kingdom of Wei will never treat the king kindly."

Once Sun Quan professed his vassal to Wei Guo, it would be difficult to say whether he would take the position of King Wu.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu suddenly said, "I have a plan, which may solve Wu's current difficulties."

"The governor, tell me quickly." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu eagerly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"If Liu Biao defeats us, with Liu Biao's strength, he can't stop Cao Shuo's navy at all. Why don't our two families discuss peace here and jointly resist Cao Shuo."

Sun Quan was speechless. He thought that Zhou Yu would have some clever tricks, even though he knew that he would make him surrender to Liu Biao.

"Governor, our grievances with Liu Biao are even deeper than Cao Shuo. Isn't it a little unwise to choose to negotiate peace with Liu Biao?"

Zhou Yu explained: "As a king, Cao Shuo will definitely not treat the king kindly to Wei Guo. Don't forget, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's fate, the two of them were sent to Xianbei directly by Cao Shuo."

"Furthermore, Yuan Shu is Cao Shuo's nominal father-in-law, so with this kind of relationship, he can be assigned directly. How does Your Majesty think Cao Shuo will treat you?"

Sun Quan wiped off his cold sweat. Zhou Yu's explanation made him feel that he might be able to save Wu if he took refuge in Wei, but his life would be at stake.

"However, to make peace with Liu Biao, you can't talk empty words. How could Liu Biao give up this great opportunity to destroy us?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xu Kun has a daughter. She is thirteen years old and just about to marry. Why don't you give it to Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi?"

"This……"

Sun Quan's heart aches, he and Xu Yuan grew up together, he has been envious of Xu Yuan's beauty for a long time, how can he give it away directly?

"Your Majesty, isn't it worth it to exchange a woman for Sun Liu to rebuild the alliance?"

"cocoa……"

Sun Quan was still a little reluctant.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Liu Biao's brother-in-law, Huang Chengyan, has a daughter. If your Majesty can marry Huang's daughter, then we are not at a loss!"

"Besides, Huang Chengyan has a very high reputation in Jingzhou, so he might be able to recommend a few students to Wu Guo."

Sun Quan frowned, did he really want to send Xu Yuan out?

"How does Huang's daughter look like?"

"It is said that there is nothing in the world, but there are few in the sky!"
