Chapter 393 Three Kingdoms: What kind of ruler is the Marquis of Wu?
In order to avenge Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei wanted to mobilize the entire country's army to attack Wu, but was opposed by his ministers.
Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, the traitor is Cao Cao, not Sun Quan. Now Cao Pi has usurped the Han Dynasty, and the whole world is outraged. Your Majesty should plan for Guanzhong as soon as possible, station troops in the upper reaches of the Wei River, and suppress the traitor..."
"If I don't avenge my brother, even if I own a vast country, it will be of no use to me."
Despite everyone's opposition, Liu Bei insisted on raising an army and led 750,000 troops to attack Eastern Wu.
Zhuge Liang sighed secretly: If Fa Xiaozhi were still alive, he would surely be able to persuade the emperor to stop traveling east.
Zhang Fei of Langzhong was also preparing to attack Wu, and asked Fan Jiang and Zhang Da how they were going to prepare the white flags and armor.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da could not get the white silk, so Zhang Fei stripped them of their shirts, tied them to a tree and beat them. He warned them that he would kill them if they did not get the silk by tomorrow. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da decided to cut off Zhang Fei's head at night while he was sleeping and escape to Soochow.
Liu Bei heard that his third brother Zhang Fei had also died, and he was heartbroken. Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao and Guan Yu's son Guan Xing both wanted to be the vanguard. Seeing this, Liu Bei put their hands together and said that the brothers should work together to avenge their father.
＜Attacking Wu is a personal grudge, while attacking Wei is a public matter. We cannot sacrifice public affairs for personal reasons. Zilong is right.＞
＜I don't want the beautiful country, and I won't return to the court until Sun Quan is killed.＞
＜If Liu Bei didn’t seek revenge, he wouldn’t be Liu Bei.＞
＜But it was indeed the best to attack Wei first and take Guanzhong. Cao Pi had just ascended the throne and the internal situation was unstable.＞
＜Liu Bei has many people from the Jingzhou group, and they will not agree if he does not attack Jingzhou.＞
＜At this time, it is most important to quickly attack Wu. Jingzhou cannot be lost!＞
＜Seeing Liangliang's eyes really made me sad and angry! Liu Bei, have you forgotten what you said when you invited me? ! You have 750,000 troops but you don't want to go to the Northern Expedition! ＞
＜Fa Xiaozhi was really good at military affairs. Zhuge Liang also meant that even if he failed to persuade Liu Bei, Fa Xiaozhi could still give him advice and help him avoid such a terrible defeat later.＞
＜MD The remaining 750,000 are enough for Zhuge Liang to fight many Northern Expeditions……＞
＜This time, Shu's elite troops were defeated in the attack on Wu. Alas, they were defeated in this battle.＞
＜Raising troops out of anger is a big taboo in war.＞
＜It’s so infuriating to watch. Zhang Fei died in such a pathetic way, and it was a death that he deserved! ＞
＜Pushing people to death, Zhang Fei is so hateful.＞
＜There is a reason why Shu Han failed to unify. It was loyalty that made it successful, and it was also loyalty that made it fail. Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were beheaded.＞
＜At this time, Sun Quan was really panicked hahaha. He was already very anxious after killing Guan Yu, and then Zhang Fei died. Sun Quan definitely wanted to curse [covering his face]＞
＜Sun Quan: You are roasting me on the fire!＞
＜Now that Zhang Fei is dead, Liu Bei has completely collapsed and no one can stop him.＞
＜I am crying so hard. Isn’t this scene between Zhang Bao and Guan Xing exactly like the scene when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu met in the first episode?＞
＜The sons of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both brave, but it’s a pity that Adou…＞
[The second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty, Guan Yu: Big brother!]
[Zhang Fei: Big Brother!]
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Second brother! Third brother!]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Deep brotherly love...]
[Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: "If I do not avenge my brother, even if I own a vast territory, what value would it have?" The friendship of the three sworn brothers in Peach Garden is very touching.]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: No matter how many comments are given, Guangmu said it best. If he didn't seek revenge, he wouldn't be Emperor Zhaolie.]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: I am just tired of Wu Hou.]
……
"Your Majesty, you..." Fa Zheng wanted to speak but frowned and swallowed it back.
Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
They all knew that if what happened on the screen happened, no one would be able to persuade Liu Bei.
I was even more grateful that the light curtain appeared in time.
"Yide needs to change his temper!" Although Liu Bei was saddened to see "Zhang Fei" on the screen being beheaded by his men, as the comment said, it is hateful to vent anger on innocent people.
"Well, we will support your majesty in whatever he does." Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang expressed their opinions. They did not say much about Liu Bei's move of mobilizing the whole country to attack Wu on the screen. They could only sigh that if they could be with your majesty at that time, such a great defeat would not have happened.
Zhang Fei remained calm and ordered someone to bring Fan Jiang and Zhang Da over.
"General...General." Fan Jiang and Zhang Da knelt on the ground tremblingly, begging for mercy.
"Hmph! You two are so brave!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly.
"No...don't dare."
"Well... I was wrong, but you were also wrong! I won't kill you two, but you have to make up for your sins with your merits."
Hearing Zhang Fei say that he could still survive, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, yes, we must kill the enemy and gain merit!"
"Well...then you two should be the vanguard, charge into the enemy's territory and take their heads to atone for your sins!"
Zhang Fei thought that he didn't dare to keep the two of them around him any longer, but if he killed them directly, it would really damage his reputation.
After considering so many things, let them both go to the front line and fend for themselves.
Zhang Fei was quite satisfied with his arrangements.
……
Cao Cao lowered his head and thought about the relationship between Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and thought that the three of them could take advantage of this.
Now that Liu Bei and the others were still in Jingzhou, even if Liu Biao was spoiled by the light curtain in advance, what would it matter? He still couldn't do anything.
The heroic spirit is lost and can never be regained.
……
[When the people of Wu saw Liu Bei personally leading a large army, they were in a panic. Sun Quan listened to his adviser Zhao Zi and asked Cao Pi for surrender.
Cao Pi asked the messenger with a smile: "What kind of lord is your lord, the Marquis of Wu?"
Zhao Zi replied: "He is a wise, benevolent, and heroic ruler!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Pi laughed loudly and said, "You praise me too much." The officials of Cao Wei laughed at Zhao Zi in the hall.
"I am not exaggerating. The Marquis of Wu accepted Lu Su as an ordinary person, which shows his intelligence; he promoted Lu Meng to the battlefield, which shows his wisdom; he captured Yu Jin without harming him, which shows his benevolence; he took Jingzhou without bloodshed, which shows his wisdom; he controlled the three rivers and looked at the world with a tiger-like eye, which shows his heroism; he submitted himself to Your Majesty, which shows his strategy..."
The Wei officials around him nodded and said, "That makes sense..."
Cao Pi was unwilling to give up and asked again: "Does the Lord of Wu know how to study?"
"The Marquis of Wu has ten thousand ships on the river, a million soldiers under his command, and he appoints talented people to important posts. He is determined to govern the country, and when he has little spare time, he reads a lot of books..."
"I want to send troops to attack Wu. Is that feasible?"
Zhao Zi: "Big countries have troops for conquest, small countries have strategies for defense."
"Is Dongwu afraid of Wei?"
"With a million soldiers under his command and the Yangtze and Han Rivers as his moat, what is there to be afraid of?" Zhao Zi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
……
Liu Ye suggested that when Wu and Shu fought, Wei could send a general with tens of thousands of troops to cross the river to attack Wu. But Cao Pi thought that Sun Quan had already surrendered, so he should use polite tactics to win him over and then attack him to make those who wanted to surrender feel discouraged. In the end, he decided to sit back and watch the fight between Wu and Shu.

＜In history, there were actually only 50,000 [covering face] Luo Guanzhong liked to exaggerate.＞
＜Zhuge Jin is known as the master of talking about collapse [laughing and crying]＞
＜Zhuge Jin survived once again, thanks to his younger brother Zhuge Liang.＞
＜Congratulations to Sun Quan for unlocking the new title: King of Wei and Wu＞
＜Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su: I tm……＞
＜Cao Pi: You made me laugh.＞
＜From Pi's ridicule＞
＜Dongwu wanted to claim the title of King of Wu of Wei without any hesitation.＞
＜The Marquis of Wu captured Guan Yu and killed him, which was his intelligence; he angered Lu Xun in the East Palace, which was his wisdom; he deposed the crown prince and executed many people, which was his benevolence; he did not ask Lu Xun about foreign affairs but asked Zhang Zhao, which was his wisdom; he cut off the south of the Yangtze River to defend the land and became a bandit, which was his heroism; he passed Hefei six times without entering, which was his strategy. [Like]＞
＜Live in Bengbu.＞
＜Cao Pi: So, if you are so powerful, why do you need to ask me for help? ＞
＜Whether Sun Quan understands academic research or not is unknown, but he will definitely encourage people to study [eating melon]＞
＜Zhao Zi is neither humble nor arrogant, which makes people like him. It’s just that it’s hard to evaluate Sun Quan.＞
＜If Cao Pi adopted Liu Ye’s plan, history would have been rewritten.＞
＜What world is this? Now the only one left in the world is you, the three of you, the Liaodong Gongsun who is not to be feared. Whose heart do you want to warm? Liu Bei is in a state of insanity now. This is the best time! What a pity! ＞
＜The timing was right, but the person was wrong. To put it bluntly, Cao Pi just didn’t have the destiny.＞
＜Alas, my boss Cao never waited for such a good opportunity to conquer Jiangnan in his whole life, and Cao Pi missed the opportunity that was right in his hand. If I were Cao Cao, I would be so angry that I would die. [Sigh]＞
＜What a close call! The Three Kingdoms almost unified sixty years earlier.＞
＜Cao Pi’s vision was really bad. When he realized what was happening, he went to attack Wu, but was stopped by Lu Xun and didn’t gain any benefit.＞
[Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao: Oh ~ King Wu of the Great Wei, so this is how it came about.]
[Yuan Shao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Oh, you are so spineless.]
[Liu Biao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: If I have a son, I hope he will be like Sun Zhongmou.]
[In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Ce: ...]
……
Cao Cao held back his anger and forced himself to think only about Jiangdong becoming a vassal of Cao Wei.
He slammed his palm on the table, "You bastard! You don't even know how to use the opportunity given by God! You deserve it!"
Earlier, I was commenting on the screen, saying that my son was better than others. Now it seems that he is still the same idiot!
"The second generation is indeed worse than the previous one!" Cao Cao was so angry that he had to say this conclusion.
"If I were still here, I would definitely lead my troops to conquer Jiangdong!" Cao Cao knew that the Wu Kingdom would definitely form an alliance with Shu Han, but at this time Liu Bei was completely immersed in the hatred of avenging his brother and would never, at least Liu Bei was unwilling to, form an alliance with the Wu Kingdom without any grudges.
The best strategy is to attack Wu.
"Alas! What a pity!"
……
In just one day, this was the nth time that Sun Ce felt his blood rushing to his head.
Zhou Yu: “…”
Zhou Yu was silent, it was really hard to say anything. During the Battle of Red Cliff, the early stage was so hard, everyone worked together, just to defeat Cao, at that time Dongwu was respected, and the reputation of Jiangdong Navy was completely established.
And... what comes after this? They have no sense of the overall situation, and when they encounter difficulties, they kneel down and surrender.
It is easy to kneel down, but it is difficult to stand up again.
Sun Ce also knew this truth very well, and he even hated the Eastern Wu shown on the screen.
"You are such a good brother to me!"
"..."
Sun Quan's scalp tingled and his back felt cold, and he had a bad feeling.
