After saying goodbye to Liu He, Yu Fan returned to Wu County and immediately met Sun Quan.

Sun Quan greeted Yu Fan with a smile on his face and brought him to the study room. As soon as Yu Fan sat down, he was impatient to ask about the situation of this mission.

Yu smiled and said, "I'm not hiding the lord. After seeing Duke Qin this time, the subordinate officials will redeem the words of the Grand Chief of Zhou to Qin. Duke Qin proposed to invite the lord to ced the Danyang County to him. The subordinate officials said that Danyang is owned by the Emperor of Han, not the lord, and there is no such thing as cedes or not. If you want a fief, you can only ask the emperor for it. Although Duke Qin was very dissatisfied, he could only apologize to the subordinates. Of course, the Grand Chief of Zhou did not let go. Duke Qin said to the subordinates again that the reason why he sent troops to punish our army was mainly because the governor Zhou ignored his warning and launched an attack on the Shu army without authorization. Now that he has captured the governor Zhou, he naturally has to punish him well and send him back after the punishment is completed. After all, our army is in-laws with the other side, so he doesn't have to make too much trouble."

"Oh? Are you saying that my brother-in-law has no malice towards me? He doesn't want to destroy me, Jiangdong?" Sun Quan immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yu Fan's words, but he asked with some concern.

"That's right, Duke Qin has no intention of destroying my Jiangdong." Yu nodded and said.

"But why did the generals under his command slander me and kill my brother?" Sun Quan asked Yu Fan at the same time.

Yu Fan sighed and said slowly: "Duke Qin said that this is a deliberate slander of the generals under his command to undermine our army's morale. Duke Qin has punished the generals who slandered the lord, and he has imposed a salary on those people in front of his subordinates. The soldiers who have made meritorious service will no longer be rewarded."

"Oh? Is it true? In this way, my injustice can finally be washed away, and I can finally feel at ease. My brother-in-law and I are indeed in-laws, taking care of my face everywhere. I will repay this kindness sooner or later."

Sun Quan could really breathe a sigh of relief now, because he was convinced that the rumors that he had killed his brother before seemed to be a strategy that someone deliberately slandered. It was not that someone knew the truth at the beginning. This really made him sweat in secret, because in the current situation, if the murder of his brother was exposed, not only would he not be the leader of Jiangdong, but his life would be worrying.

However, as for the so-called repayment of kindness, this is just what Sun Quan said on the surface. Now he has secretly decided that after the end of this battle, he will follow Zhuge Jin's advice and achieve alliance with the Shu army, in order to protect himself. Once he has the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and deal with Liu He, he will definitely take action without hesitation to repay the hatred of more than 100,000 of his army being annihilated.

He clearly had the opportunity to conquer Shu and divide the world with Liu He, but Liu He suddenly got into a quarrel, which resulted in the efforts of his previous years being wasted. He was also worried that he would be annexed by Liu He at any time. He had lived enough such a life.

"It's just that the Shu Kingdom is now the dictatorship of Guan Mou. This person hates me to the core. If you want to achieve alliance with Shu Kingdom, you have to secretly contact Zhuge Liang. I believe that with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, if you want to seize the national politics of Shu Kingdom and to cut Guan Mou's authority, there is no hope."

Sun Quan did not speak at this time, his green eyes flashed constantly, thinking about solutions.

After Yu Fan went on a break, Sun Quan ordered someone to inquire about the movement of Liu He's army. When he heard that Liu He's army had retreated to Jiangling, he felt completely relieved. It seemed that what Yu Fan was saying was true, and Liu He had no intention of destroying himself.

Just when Sun Quan was about to join forces with Zhuge Liang, he suddenly heard that Cao Cao led a 50,000-strong army to attack Danyang. He was immediately angry and shouted loudly: "Old Cao Cao, you dare to take advantage of the situation to rob me and attack Danyang. I can't beat Liu He, can't beat you?"

He immediately ordered that the 30,000 troops defending Liu He be transferred to Danyang, and together with the 10,000 troops in Wujun and the 10,000 troops in Danyang, a total of 50,000 troops were formed to fight Cao Cao to the death.

"Hmph, our army's morale is declining, and my prestige is just in need of improvement. You old man attacked me Danyang. I will use defeat to boost morale and prestige today! Old thief, although your land war is powerful, in a one-on-one situation, if our army still loses to you in water war, what kind of face do I have to survive in the world?"

Sun Quan immediately ordered the veteran Huang Gai as the main general, Ling Cao, Ling Tong and his son as deputy generals, and Yu Fan as military advisors to lead the army to fight Cao Cao.

It took only a few days to arrive at Qu'a. After he arrived there, he immediately went to the riverside to visit the military situation and found that although Cao Cao's army had many warships, most of them were small boats. Moreover, the soldiers were not used to fighting on the ship and could not stand the bumps. Many soldiers lay directly on the deck and did not even dare to move. Many soldiers even vomited desperately, which looked a bit embarrassing.

"Haha, even such a waste dares to fight with us? It's simply vulnerable. If you pass the order, our army will go to the river to fight the enemy to the decisive battle tomorrow. This battle will definitely promote our army's power and let the old thief know that I'm not easy to mess with."

Sun Quan looked at Cao Jun's image and laughed to the sky, and suddenly felt passionate, and even issued an order for a decisive battle.

But he saw Yu Fan on the side saying, "Lord, this matter is probably not that easy. The subordinates saw that Cao's army was in chaos and did not panic. It seemed that there was some ambush. Cao Cao had been in a truce for many years and did not develop the army. Therefore, the subordinates believed that he must have concentrated on training the navy. Besides, his Qingzhou and Xuzhou were both next to the sea, so it was not difficult to train the navy. Therefore, although we must win this battle tomorrow, we must also be careful of his tricks to avoid losing or being deceived."

Sun Quan waved his hand and laughed: "Zhongxiang, you think too much of Cao Zhe. Although he is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he is now a turtle shrouded under the pressure of my brother-in-law. He doesn't even dare to show off his anger. What else can he do? Besides, our army's water battle has always been the best in the world... Ahem, no matter what, it is absolutely possible to defeat Cao Cao. With the strength of our army, it is easy to win the battle tomorrow. I don't believe that the old thief can make a comeback."

"But the lord..."

"Okay, OK, Zhongxiang, I know you are loyal, but you are not as good as me in the overall situation of the enemy and me. As for the water battle method, you are even worse than me. This is different from the land battle. You are just waiting for tomorrow's celebration wine."

"Hehe, I have advised you in advance. Since you don't listen, although you can defeat this time, it is inevitable that you will lose your power. But you can't blame me. Instead, you can make me gain your trust because of this. This is a good thing for our army to kill two birds with one stone."

If it were in the past, Yu Fan would have jumped up in a hurry, but now he is so happy that Sun Quan refuses to listen, so he bows to him, and then goes down to rest.
Chapter completed!
