Chapter 706 Letter of Divorce

After entering the city, Chen Wu immediately sent people to clean Li Shu's mansion, and then invited Zhou Yu to enter.

And Zhou Yu also moved into the governor's mansion without hesitation. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Army. He should enter the governor's mansion due to circumstances and reasons. Jiangdong's soldiers also believed that it was natural, and that this was how superiors and subordinates respected each other.

A lamp was lit in the study room of the governor's mansion. Zhou Yu sat behind the desk, staring at the map in front of him, thinking about how to defeat Cao Jun.

Cao Cao's army numbered 40,000 and was powerful in combat, and Cao Cao himself was even more cunning and far-sighted. Cheng Yu beside him is said to be wily and resourceful, while Le Jin, Cao Chun, Cao Ren and others are all veteran generals. It is easy to maintain the situation in this battle, but it is difficult to defeat Cao Jun.

Just as Zhou Yu was thinking, the guards outside suddenly shouted to the inside: "Grand Governor, Cao Jun's envoy is here."

"oh?"

Zhou Yu raised his head and said, "Invite Cao Jun's envoy to come in."

"promise!"

Along with Cao Jun's envoys, there were several governor's guards. They were naturally worried that Cao Jun had other plots. What if they wanted to come and murder the governor?

Two guards walked quickly to Zhou Yu's side, and two more guards sandwiched Cao Jun's envoy on the left and right.

The envoy from Cao's army wore a long robe and had a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feixi Cao belongs to Mao Jie and has met the Governor of Zhou."

"It turns out it's Mao Gongcao, who offered me a seat."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the governor's guard on the side immediately took a soft cushion and placed it on the ground. Mao Jie lifted the front of his robe and knelt down to sit down.

"I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to send a letter to Governor Zhou." Mao Jie said as he took out a letter from his arms and handed it out with both hands. The guard beside him took it and handed it over. After squeezing it and confirming that there was no danger, he handed it to Zhou Yu.

"It turns out that it was Prime Minister Cao who delivered the letter."

Zhou Yu nodded and said loudly: "Come here, tell the generals that I will open Prime Minister Cao's letter in person and read Prime Minister Cao's writing style with all the generals."

Mao Jie frowned: "Captain Zhou, this is a letter written by the Prime Minister. Mao was specially ordered to deliver it to Governor Zhou. Why bother to mobilize troops?"

Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "Le Yi conquered more than 70 cities in Qi State, but because of the Qi people's careful work, the King of Yan was suspicious and changed his generals on the battlefield, and the Qi State came back to life; in the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, the Qin people carefully spread the news, and Zhao Xiao became king Lian Po was replaced by Zhao Kuo, and 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed."

"Although I dare not compare myself to Le Yi and Lian Po, since I have been appointed to lead the troops, I have to be on guard."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but Mao Jie frowned. Zhou Yu was indeed difficult to deal with this time.

"Go quickly and summon the generals!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Late at night in Shu County City, more than a dozen horses galloped out of the governor's mansion, their horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs, and they galloped towards the mansions of various generals.

"Taishi Xiaowei, the governor summoned me."

"Old General Cheng, the governor is famous. Please get up quickly, General Cheng."

Not long after, Cheng Pu, Tai Shi Ci, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and other more than ten generals of the Jiangdong Army gathered in the governor's house and sat on the left and right of Zhou Yu. Except for Xu Sheng and Huang who were stationed in the military camp outside the city, In addition to the cover, most of the other generals of Sima, Xiaowei and above in the Jiangdong Army are concentrated here.

Zhou Yu was sitting on the throne, holding a letter in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, Prime Minister Cao wrote a letter to send to this governor, and entrusted Mao Gongcao to deliver it. It's really hard work."

"Prime Minister Cao is a well-known person at home and abroad. His "A Journey in the Grass" has been heard by everyone in the world. His bones are exposed in the wild and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. This governor really appreciates this sentence."

Many generals nodded, but only Chen Wu and Lu Meng looked at each other, confused. Both of them were rough men and could not read a lot of Chinese characters, let alone appreciate poetry.

Mao Jie showed an embarrassed smile and thought to himself: It's broken, it's over now.

"Old General Cheng, you are a veteran general in our army. Back then, you followed Duke Wen Tai and Prime Minister Cao to fight against the Dong traitors. How about you read this letter aloud?"

Zhou Yu smiled and handed the letter out.

Cheng Pu stood up solemnly, took the letter with both hands, unfolded it gently, and read: "The governor personally wrote it, only when God has time, people can make the best use of their talents. King Zhao of Yan built a golden platform, and Le Yi planned to destroy Qi. Duke Xiao of Qin strongly supported it. Lord Shang's method passes through Guanzhong. Now the water east of the river is shallow, how can it accommodate a real dragon? May the governor of Zhou be governor of something, and the emperor will praise it. If the governor of Zhou raises his troops, so be it."

Cheng Pu frowned and said with a deep expression: "Grand Governor, this letter contains many words smeared in black ink, some of which are not clearly visible, but it was probably used by Prime Minister Cao to persuade the Grand Governor to surrender."

"What?"

Chen Wu, who had a bad temper, flew into a rage. He stood up from the table, drew his sword in his hand, and angrily shouted at Mao Jie: "The governor is loyal to the commander named Mao. How dare you alienate the governor and our Jiangdong Army? Are you thinking this?"

Pan Zhang also frowned and said: "Prime Minister Cao's move was indeed inappropriate. Back then, King Xiang led eight thousand Jiangdong's men across the river. In the end, there were only twenty-eight riders left, and no one surrendered. All of them died in the battle. Our Jiangdong army is only brave. How can a hero who fights to the death be a coward who surrenders without a fight?”

Chen Wu was so angry that he looked through the desk and wanted to stab Mao Jie with his sword.

"Zi Lie stop!"

Zhou Yu looked serious and slapped the table with a "snap" sound. Although Chen Wu was furious, he did not dare not listen to Zhou Yu's words. He gave Mao Jie a hard look and sat back.

Mao Jie's heart beat violently, and he glanced at Zhou Yu without any trace, thinking: Oh no, this plan of alienation will not work. Fortunately, Zhou Yu is not a violent and murderous person, otherwise how could Mao's life be saved?

"snort!"

Zhou Yu stood up, stared at Mao Jie and said coldly: "Mao Gong Cao, the two armies are fighting, and the winner is decided with real swords and real spears, but Prime Minister Cao is trying to alienate me and frame the governor. Isn't it a heroic act? From this point on, It seems that Prime Minister Cao is far less courageous than General Liu of Luoyang."

"Come on, since Prime Minister Cao condescended to write a letter to me personally, if I don't reply to a letter, wouldn't it be a violation of the courtesy? We will serve you with pen and ink."

A junior officer in the army had already given him pen and ink. Without saying a word, Zhou Yu grabbed the brush and dipped it in thick ink. Then he splashed the ink and started writing with great force.

Swish, swish, swish, Zhou Yu could write like a god, and it didn't take him long to finish writing a letter. He threw the brush down and shouted, "Come on, wrap up this letter and let Mao Gongcao take it with you." He left the city and handed it over to Prime Minister Cao."

"promise!"

Cheng Pu stood up, stared at Mao Jie, and said coldly and unfavorably towards Mao Jie: "Mao Gongcao, the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy. Otherwise, although Cheng is old today, he will have to take a spear." I can’t poke your two transparent holes.”

"see a visitor out!"
