Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 857

"The most urgent thing is to interrogate Zhou Yu and Sun Quan first. As for other matters... they are all secondary!"

"Come on! Detain the two of them!"

Chapter 973 As long as you have no morals, you cannot be kidnapped morally

At Cao Cao's order, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun pushed Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, who were tied up like zongzi, and drove them down.

Looking at Zhou Yu, who had been so glorious during the Battle of Chibi, everyone sighed.

How high-spirited he was at the beginning, Yu Fan Lun Towel sat on the bow of the boat and commanded the Sun Liu coalition army, and none of his subordinates dared not obey.

Later, Xiong merged with Shanyue, and his troops reached 10,000+. He also won the support of the major families in Jiangdong through his combination of vertical and horizontal alliances. Xiongji Jiangdong has already established himself as a prince.

But now, a year has not yet come, but... this is the end.

"The world is really impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine!"

Guo Jia and others were all moved.

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were expressionless and were escorted in from outside the crowd.

When passing the outermost periphery, the two stopped suddenly.

Regardless of the pushing and shoving by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others, he looked at Sun Ben and Zhang Hong standing next to him with complicated eyes.

With a smile on his face, Sun Quan sighed slightly: "Cousin, I, Sun Quan, once wondered who the Jiangdong inner ghost would be, and I also suspected everyone."

"But I never doubted you. I naively thought that everyone in the world would betray me, but you wouldn't!"

"I never thought that the person closest to me, the person I trust the most, would be the first to stab me!"

Sun Quan was talking with a smile, but Sun Ben let out a long sigh and lowered his head in shame.

"Zhongmou... When I was murdered by Zhou Yu in the past, I realized that Jiangdong is rotten from the root."

"How can you fight against the powerful Cao Ying with such infighting and exclusion of dissident forces? And you at that time... had no future at all. Although I am your cousin, I also have my own family!"

"And... how can I let my family, daughter, wife and old mother die together? Of course I have to think about them! So... forgive me."

Sun Ben sighed for a while, people are inherently selfish, and in troubled times, being wise and protecting oneself is the most important thing.

Sun Quan nodded, it is useless to talk about the matter so far.

After ignoring Sun Ben, Sun Quan turned his head to look at the Jiangdong veteran Zhang Hong who had been assisting him for a long time.

Zhang Hong rubbed his nose and smiled mischievously: "Zhongmou, I think what Ben Ben said makes sense."

With a professional smile on his face, Sun Quan said softly: "You Zigang... I am not surprised that you surrendered. After all, you are in Jiangdong and your heart is in Cao, so there is nothing wrong with doing it for the Zhang family."

"It's just... my grandson's family has a good relationship with you, right? From my father, my brother, to me! You are also a veteran of the three dynasties."

"Today, you are a guest and Quan is a prisoner. Why don't you say a word to help?"

Sun Quan had a little hope and pleading in his eyes, trying to use his past affection in exchange for Sun Ben and Zhang Hong's intercession.

After all, since the death of Sun Jian and Sun Ce in his Sun family, there are no males in the family anymore.

And those aristocratic families, even if the Jiangdong regime collapsed, the aristocratic families would not collapse.

In the past, his father and brother offended so many aristocratic families, if he, Sun Quan, would be belching today.

Then his mature and beautiful mother and young sister, as well as the old and weak women and children of the Sun family, must not be humiliated to death by other aristocratic families?

Therefore, Sun Quan did not want to die!

After experiencing too many rebellions, Sun Quan's heart has long been cold. He found that he seemed not to be attached to any grand plans to dominate the world, or to conquer the world.

Now he is not for the world, not for hegemony, just to protect his family, so he wants to survive.

Zhang Hong and Sun Ben looked at each other, hesitated for three seconds, then nodded slowly.

After getting the answers from the two, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief!

But Zhou Yu is different, he does not plead for mercy like Sun Quan.

Although he is a defeated general, he has his own pride!

"Hehe, the two of you must have planned it for a long time, right? If you guessed correctly... When I went to Cao Ying to steal technology, you two tipped off the news, right?"

"The plans I made several times were also leaked by you two. In addition...the information about the Queen of Japan was also leaked by you."

"The enemy is already in the headquarters, and I haven't found out yet. I have to say that you two traitors are very successful!"

Faced with Zhou Yu's questioning words, Sun Ben and Zhang Hong's attitude was not as gentle as that of Sun Quan.

Without hesitation, he nodded directly:

"That's right! We have already voted for Duke Wei, but...you, Zhou Yu, forced us! As a subject, you are relying on your family power and prestige in the army for your own selfish desires, and you are making life difficult for the people of Jiangdong!"

"If we don't find another way, are we waiting to be killed by you who eliminate dissidents?"

"The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, do you think you can survive today? Die with peace of mind!"

Of course Zhou Yu knew he was going to die, even if the Zhou family was so powerful, Cao Cao would not let the Zhou family stay in Jiangdong.

The best power retention policy is to take this opportunity to destroy the Zhou family. Without the presence of such a huge family as the Zhou family, other families in Jiangdong must not dare to take the lead and make trouble.

Zhou Yu laughed miserably.

"You two are very good! Even the elite confidantes I placed at the gate of the city, you can get rid of them. As traitors... you two are very successful!"

"If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation! If there is a chance... I won't let you two go! I will peel you and light the sky lanterns!"

Zhou Yu glared at the two of them viciously, with murderous intent, wishing to get rid of them quickly.

Lu Bu behind him couldn't see, and when the rope was pulled, Zhou Yu couldn't breathe.

"Made! It's enough for you to reminisce about the past before you die, but you dare to threaten my Cao Ying people?"

"Believe it or not, I'll stab you with a halberd? I won't let you taste the power. You don't know why the flowers are so red!"

Lu Bra tightened the rope, pushed and kicked Zhou Yu to Cao Cao.

Lu Bu's rough behavior made Zhou Yu have difficulty breathing and felt extremely uncomfortable, so he couldn't help shouting.

"The binding is too urgent, please slow it down!"

Cao Cao stepped forward with a smile: "Tie Hu has to be in a hurry."

"You, Zhou Lang, have cost me a lot of effort! If you don't have my good brother's artillery and warships, his methods to deal with Dongpu, and his insight to know people to accept Sun Ben, you can't do this move. !"

"Otherwise... I don't know how long it will take to take you Jiangdong! The former governor is now a prisoner, can you submit? Are you willing to submit to me and work for my Cao Ying?"

Zhou Yu was pinned to the ground and unable to get up.

He could only raise his head proudly, and spitting thick phlegm at Cao Cao's leather shoes.

"Cao thief! Why do you need to insult me? You don't know if I am Zhou Yu, and you have no intention of subduing me at all?"

"How can I, Zhou Yu, bow to someone with a wicked mind like you? It's impossible for someone like me, Zhou Yu, to surrender! Absolutely impossible!"

Although Zhou Yu was down and out, his wisdom was still there.

As he said, Cao Cao did not intend to keep him and the Zhou family.

At first, Cao Cao was quite moved. He cherished talents like Zhou Yu and wanted to take them for his own use.

But when he shared this idea with Xia Houzhe, the other party only said one thing: Didn't you see the matter of Yuan Shu and Sun Quan?

Cao Cao suddenly realized that if Zhou Yu could betray Yuan Shu and take Sun Quan off the ground, he would naturally be able to stab Cao Cao in the back.

Moreover, the huge power of the Zhou family made Cao Cao quite afraid. The other party, Zeng Xiong, had already stood on the top and seen the scenery.

How can you live under others for a long time?I will never be content to be lonely, but if there is a chance, I will make a comeback again.

Such a person with strength and previous convictions... must not be left behind!

The reason for asking this is just to break the backbone of his Zhou family.

"My heart is not right, but I can still make the people eat and drink. You claim to be right, but you don't care about the life and death of the people in Jiangdong! How can you decide whether it is right or wrong? The people have already made up their minds !"

Cao Cao took a sip of his cigar, wiped the phlegm off his shoes with a paper towel, his face was not angry at all, and the smoke rings he spit out looked majestic.

As an official, as long as he does things for the people, he will naturally be upright!

Fairness and peace of mind.

"Are you really not afraid of death? Are you really not going to surrender? Don't you worry that I will destroy your Zhou family in a fit of anger?"

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew the result, he still wanted to fight for a chance for the Zhou family.

After a long sigh, he raised his head and said loudly.

"I heard that those who govern the world with filial piety will not harm others' relatives; those who govern the world with benevolence will never stop offering sacrifices to others! The survival of women and children in the family also depends on the ears of Ming Gong!"

"Since I have been captured, please kill me immediately, no worries!"

Hearing this, Cao Ying's counselors frowned.

Zhou Yu's move was to advance by retreating, but it made everyone feel a little difficult. Zhou Yu really had a bright mind this time.

The opponent praised Cao Cao highly in front of the generals.

If Cao Cao is still cruel to attack the Zhou family because of this, it seems that he has lost his morals and violated his own benevolent government, filial piety and integrity.

Speaking out will also damage Cao Cao's reputation. At that time, the people will still think that Cao Cao killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Cao Cao frowned, and muttered softly: "Is this stepping horse trying to kidnap me morally? How can you tell me to do it? But this week the Zhou family has to be destroyed again! Alas... so difficult!"

"Brother, what do you think?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment, but didn't think about how to deal with it, so he could only turn his head to look at Xia Houzhe.

The corners of Xia Houzhe's mouth turned up slightly, appearing very flat.

"You have been with me for so many years, why don't you understand the old Wang Laolu? You don't know a famous saying?"

"As long as you have no morals, he can't kidnap you morally! Do you understand?"

"Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will give birth again!"

Chapter 974 The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did the lord surrender first?

Cao Cao suddenly realized!

"As long as you have no morals, you are not afraid of kidnapping? It makes sense!"

"Since that's the case, let him be fulfilled! Someone, push them down and chop them off for me..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Quan knelt down and roared loudly.

"Mr. Cao! If he doesn't surrender, I will surrender!"

"Quan would like to be Duke Cao's saddle, and would like to persuade the guards of the other three gates to submit to Duke Cao in the name of the Sun family!"

"I just beg... Mr. Cao, let me and my grandson's family go!"

Although Sun Quan's behavior was very spineless, no one present laughed at him.

Because when it is time to die, there are not many who can muster up the courage to die.

It was said that before Cao Cao could speak, Zhou Yu kicked Sun Quan and turned him on his back.

"Sun Quan! If you die, you will die. Why should you be afraid?"

"If you don't die, wouldn't I, Zhou Yu, be alone on the road to Huangquan?"

With a smile on his face, Sun Quan struggled to get up from the ground.

"You said it so lightly, you want to die but I don't want to die! If I die, who will take care of my little grandson's family, my mother and younger sister? Who will take care of them?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao was instantly excited.

If it wasn't inappropriate, he really wanted to say... Your mother, I will support her!

"Cough! Zhongmou, are you really willing to surrender to me? Promise not to cause trouble?"

Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan with a smile.

The other party was about to speak, but Zhou Yu quickly interrupted and began to sow discord.

Everyone was arrested together, I am going to die, do you still want to live?

If we die together, at least we have a companion.
