Chapter 395
"Deng Zhi? The messenger of the King of Han? Sun Quan listened to the soldier's report and frowned, "Zhong Qing thinks that the King of Han sent Deng Zhi here, what happened?"
"Deng Zhi came here with the intention of forming an alliance with the Lord Duke and persuading the Lord not to send troops!" Zhang Zhao said with a smile.
"Yes, the battle between the Han king Liu Jun and Liu Bei has reached a critical moment, although Cheng Gongying led his army to capture Hanzhong, but it caused Jingzhou to be empty, Liu Jun naturally felt uneasy in his heart, afraid that the lord would take advantage of the void to attack Jingzhou at this time." Gu Yong also said.
"Liu Wei seized the whole of Yizhou, but he wanted me to stand still, where in the world is there such a cheap thing?" Sun Quan said hatefully.
"Lord, since Deng Zhi is here, the lord will meet him, but before meeting, you must give him some color to see, so that he knows how powerful the lord is." Zhang Zhao said.
"What does Zibu mean?"
"The lord can erect a large ding at the gate of the main hall of Wuhou Mansion, and hundreds of catties of oil are stored in the ding, and the ding is burned with charcoal. When the oil boils, you can choose a thousand mighty warriors, each with a sword in hand, standing from the door to the main hall, and then call Deng Zhi to enter. At that time, the lord did not wait for Deng Zhi to speak, so he followed this example with the story of Qiqi, and wanted to cook Deng Zhi and see how Deng Zhi answered.
"Okay, just according to Zibu's words!" Sun Quan was very happy and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare.
The oil was quickly erected, the fire burned, and the oil gradually boiled. A thousand fierce samurai stood on the left and right, armed with various weapons, and stood from the doorway to the top of the main hall, leaving a passage in the middle.
Seeing that all this was ready, Sun Quanma sent an order to let Deng Zhi enter.
"Wu Hou has an order, and Deng Zhi, the envoy of the King of Han, enters the meeting!" The herald said loudly.
Deng Zhi straightened his clothes, slowly entered, and came to the door of the hall, and saw two lines of samurai, majestic, each holding a steel knife, a big axe, a long halberd, and a short sword, all the way from the door to the hall.
The corner of Deng Zhi's mouth smiled slightly, his face did not have the slightest fear, what Sun Quan wanted to do, he knew it in his chest and walked with his head held high.
When I came to the main hall, I saw that the oil in the ding was already boiling, and the billowing heat wave was rushing towards my face, and the samurai on the left and right were round eyes and angry, as if they wanted to eat people.
Deng Zhi arched his hand to Sun Quan, "Deng Bomiao has seen Wu Hou!"
"Deng Zhi, what is your position?" Zhang Zhao asked.
"Captain Chengdu!" Deng Zhi replied calmly.
"No wonder it's a nobody, it turns out to be just a captain!" A prefect is an official in charge of law and order in a county. Zhang Zhao looked very disdainful, "A small captain, after seeing my father-in-law, why don't you give a big gift?"
"Zhang Changshi, don't you hear about the envoys of the kingdom and worship the lord of the small state." Deng Zhi was neither humble nor promiscuous, "My Lord is the King of Han, and His Majesty is personally conferred." Wu Hou is just a marquis, and he is still a hereditary title, how can I give a big gift?
Sun Quan was furious after hearing this, and a small capital captain dared to speak so loudly in front of him, "Bold Deng Zhi, you also want to follow the example of Qiqi with a three-inch tongue?" In this way, you can quickly enter the oil peak! "
Ha..." Deng Zhi burst out laughing, "Everyone says that Eastern Wu is very talented, but they have never thought about it, but they are afraid of me as a lieutenant!"
"Arrogant! I think that in the beginning, Benhou was not even afraid of Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army, so why fear you as a small captain?
"If you are not afraid, why do you want to erect this oil ding, and you want this thousand warriors to stand on the temple?"
"If you want to be a lobbyist for King Liu Jun of Han, then please say it directly, if it is reasonable, you can still be saved, if what you say is unreasonable, you will be cooked immediately!" Sun Quan said loudly.
"Say it quickly!" The samurai in the hall shook the sword soldier in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Wu Hou, are you ready to send troops to Jingzhou?" Deng Zhi asked.
"Yes, the soldiers and horses are ready, there is enough food and grass, and the army can be drawn on the same day!" A sneer appeared on Sun Quan's face.
"In that case, please Wu Hou cook me!" Deng Zhi's tone was very calm, "This Jiangdong will change hands soon.
"Ha..." Listening to Deng Zhi's words, Sun Quan, Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao and the others laughed almost at the same time.
"Deng Zhi, are you trying to say that Ganning's 30,000 water army will go down the river and seize Wu County, Yuzhang, Guangling and other places, or even the entire Jiangdong, right?"
"It's a pity that my family master has already thought of a way to deal with Gan Ning!"
"We are crossing the river with iron cables in Yuzhang, will Ganning's warship fly over?"
"Ha..." Everyone laughed at Deng Zhi.
"When I was in Shuzhong, I heard that Jiangdong was very talented, but I saw it today, but that's it!" When everyone else finished laughing, Deng Zhi said slowly, "Wu Hou's iron lock Hengjiang, if I'm not mistaken, this must have been Cao Cao's idea, right?" Jiangdong is in danger, but you don't know it!
"This..."
After Deng Zhi's words, the ministers of Jiangdong seemed to be choked at once.
"This... This is obviously my father-in-law's idea, why do you say it was Cao Cao? Lu Fan retorted.
"If it was really Wu Hou's idea, it was Wu Hou's decision to surrender Jiangdong to Cao Cao!" Deng Zhi still said unhurriedly.
"You... Bomiao, what do you mean by this? Although Sun Quan was calm on the surface, there was a trace of panic in his heart.
"Wuhou, the nine counties of Jingzhou, among them, Nanjun, Xiangyang, Jiangxia and other Chengchi families are tall and strong, although there are only county soldiers in the city to guard it, but my family master has been operating for many years, and the people's hearts are subordinate, in a short period of time, I am afraid that I can't take it!" But if it's a long time, don't forget that Yuzhou can be stationed with the army of the Central Plains Corps! "
Although there are many soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, they can't quench their thirst from far away, Deng Bomiao, you are deceiving yourself, right?" Lu Fan said disdainfully.
"Can't far water quench near thirst?" Deng Zhi smiled, "You guys are really nobles who forget things!" How did my lord take the Que Pass, don't you all know? "
Over the Flying Tiger Mountain?" Lü Meng suddenly exclaimed, he remembered the battle Liu Jun fought, five thousand soldiers and horses crossed the Flying Tiger Mountain, turned Yuzhou upside down, and then used the sound to attack the east and west, and attacked Yique Pass, thus opening the path to the north and occupying the initiative.
If you really march from Flying Tiger Mountain, you can quickly reach Jiangxia!
"But Flying Tiger Mountain is a trail after all..."
"Mr. Yuan Si is right, Flying Tiger Mountain really can't walk the army, but it can drag down Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and at this time, if Cao Cao suddenly sends troops, will you withdraw back?"
"Iron cable Hengjiang..." Lu Xun suddenly frowned, they could block Ganning's army, but they could also block their own water army! Coupled with the delay of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, the empty Jiangdong was most likely occupied by Cao Cao.
"This..." "
Wu Hou, the strategy of iron lock across the river, if it is offered by Cao Cao, then this must be Cao Cao's conspiracy, if Wu Hou came up with it himself, I am afraid it will also be used by Cao Cao." Don't forget that Cao Cao's army was accumulated after Guandu, and I never fought a battle with my Central Plains Corps! "
