Currently, in Jiangdong.
"Rebellion, rebellion!"
Sun Quan slammed his palm on the table, his face filled with anger.
Lu Su quickly picked up the scattered documents and asked in a low voice:
"Lord, why is this so?"
Sun Quan opened his eyes wide and said through gritted teeth:
"I order Zhou Gongjin to return to the capital to recuperate and fight against Cao Cao!"
"Forget it, take a look for yourself!"
Sun Quan threw the documents in his hands to Lu Su.
Lu Su hurriedly looked over and frowned after a while.
"This... why would Gongjin privately lead troops to attack Jingzhou?!"
Sun Quan's expression calmed down and he said in a low voice:
"In the Battle of Red Cliff, our army suffered heavy casualties. Furthermore, we chased after Cao Cao and retreated. Right now, our army is exhausted and can't fight anymore."
"Right now is the time to recuperate. This Zhou Gongjin actually ignored my orders and privately led his exhausted soldiers to attack Jingzhou?"
"Zijing! Do you think that Zhou Yu still has me in his eyes?! "
Even Lu Su's brows were tightly furrowed.
Even he could not understand why Zhou Yu dared to do this.
Although many officials supported Zhou Yu and Sun Shao, the person in charge of Jiangdong was Sun Quan!
How could Gongjin not know who was the lord and who was the subject?!
"This... Lord, Gongjin probably wants to use this opportunity to expand his territory."
"Jingzhou is impregnable and only has a few tens of thousands of soldiers defending it. If Gongjin takes Jingzhou, he will be able to recuperate and fight against the Cao Army!"
At this point, Lu Su did not believe it himself.
Right now, the army was continuously fighting. Whether it was the morale, provisions, or stamina of the soldiers, they could not keep up.
Although there were few soldiers defending Jingzhou, it was easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if they won this battle, they would suffer heavy losses.
When the Cao Army arrived, the remaining soldiers would not be able to resist and would be completely wiped out!
Hearing this, Sun Quan glared at Lu Su.
Lu Su quickly shut his mouth and said no more.
Sun Quan took a deep breath, then said to Lu Su, "Don't worry.
"Zijing, you've always been on good terms with Zhou Yu. I need you to do something for me."
Lu Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said:
"My Lord, please give me your orders. This subject will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Sun Quan handed a document to Lu Su.
"I want you to persuade Gongjin to return to court as soon as possible. Do not make a big mistake."
"This …"
Lu Su immediately blushed with shame.
You want me to handle this matter?
Zhou Yu didn't even listen to Sun Quan, so why would he listen to him?
However, Sun Quan said coldly,
"Failure is not an option! Go. "
Lu Su had no choice but to agree. He picked up the document and hurriedly left Sun Quan's study.
"Zhou Gongjin …"
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, unable to quell the anger in his heart.
Da Qiao still hadn't finished delivering the secret letter, yet he dared to ignore his orders?
This person couldn't be allowed to live!
… …
At the same time, in the bustling Xuchang …
"Prime Minister, you were looking for me?"
Bai Feng had just returned home when he was summoned by Cao Cao's guard. When he arrived, he saw Cao Cao writing calligraphy and immediately bowed.
Cao Cao hurriedly stopped writing, got up, and pulled Bai Feng into the study.
"Come, come, come. Take a look at what I've written."
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the words Cao Cao was writing.
An old steed still in the stable, but with great ambition!
Upon seeing these words, Bai Feng immediately understood Cao Cao's meaning.
Boss Cao wanted to establish himself!
With this thought, Bai Feng smiled faintly and said:
"These words are written with great strength. Prime Minister's calligraphy has improved."
"But, Prime Minister, have you thought it through?"
Cao Cao laughed and said:
"As expected of Teacher, but I called you here for a private matter. Let's not talk about official business for now."
"You went to the market with Jie 'er today. Did you have fun?"
Bai Feng was suddenly a little confused.
What was Boss Cao up to?
Why did he call me over in such a hurry? I originally thought that he wanted to discuss the matter of becoming king.
However, after waiting for so long, Boss Cao actually said that he didn't want to talk about official business.
Then, he asked me how I had fun with his daughter today.
What did he mean?
Even Bai Feng didn't quite understand what Cao Cao was thinking.
Boss Cao didn't play by the rules. He was simply throwing in a bomb at the beginning of the game to liven things up!
When he thought of this, there was only one possibility.
Cao Cao might still want to attack Jiangdong and use this to spur him on.
Bai Feng immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Ahem, the market was very lively. I really had a good time."
"But Prime Minister, don't worry. I didn't neglect the matter of Jiangdong. Right now, I'm already …"
"Hey!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and interrupted Bai Feng:
"Teacher, I already said that we don't want to talk about official business now. Why did you bring it up again?"
"Did you not listen to me?"
Bai Feng was even more confused, but he still cupped his hands and said:
"I thought that Prime Minister was spurring me, so I said that."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said:
"Spurring my ass! Official business is more important. "
Official business?
Bai Feng raised his head and was about to ask when Cao Cao said:
"Jie 'er has a very good temper."
"Although I have always spoiled her, she is still educated and reasonable. She has never been willful. I like this girl very much."
"Although she usually calls you Teacher, Teacher, you haven't reached the age of 20 yet."
"Jie 'er may look like a child, but she is actually about the same age as you!"
"I thought that the market would be very lively when it reopens because Xuchang has passed through a major disaster. So I asked Diao Chan to bring Jie 'er to look for you."
"The two of you can play together. It's good that you have fun. It's good that you have fun."
Bai Feng rubbed his forehead.
Why did Boss Cao seem to be a different person today?
Previously, when he talked to him, he was talking to him like a lord talking to a subject.
But now, he was like a nagging elder who asked him all kinds of questions during the New Year.
This was not in line with Boss Cao's persona.
Previously, when he entered Xuchang and fought together with Cao Pi to resist the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao did not mention it.
Just now, when he argued with Cao Zhi and even scolded Cao Cao's subordinates, Yang Xiu and Ding Yi, for being incompetent, Cao Cao did not mention it.
But today, when he bumped into Cao Cao and Diao Chan on the road and inexplicably went shopping for a while, Cao Cao cared so much about it.
Also, when Diao Chan brought Cao Jie to look for him, was it because of Boss Cao?
What was Cao Cao trying to do?
Even though Bai Feng racked his brains, he still could not think of a reason.
If it was not for official business, could it be that he was concerned about his personal affairs?
Bai Feng looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.
At this moment, Cao Cao sighed and said,
"Teacher, although I have been conquering the world, I am still a parent. I have neglected my most beloved daughter."
"Ever since I returned to Xuchang, Jie 'er has not smiled when she saw me for a few days. But today, when I heard from Diao Chan that she went shopping with you, Jie' er smiled."
"As expected, Mr. Bai is extremely outstanding in all aspects!"
