Chapter 565 Sun Quan's scheming

down the mountain!

After Zhou Yu led the troops down the mountain, he went straight to the main tent without stopping too long!

However, after walking in front of the tent, he stopped!
Immediately afterwards, he took off his general crown and took out the soldier talisman in his body, took a deep breath and walked in!

At this time, Sun Quan in the tent was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountain map in front of him with his back turned, without any movement!
Knowing that Sun Quan already knew what happened on the mountain, Zhou Yu knelt down to him without much hesitation, lowered his head and said calmly:

"The final general failed to capture Cao Su alive, or even failed to kill him. The final general is guilty. Please punish me, my lord!"

After the words fell, Sun Quan still stood there without moving, not knowing what the expression on his face was, but Zhou Yu felt a little bit of chill!
"The last general..."

"Zhou Gongjin!"

Just as Zhou Yu wanted to continue pleading guilty, Sun Quan suddenly interrupted him, without any emotion in his tone!
"In the Battle of Chibi, you lost nearly [-] soldiers from Jiangdong, [-] warships, and countless weapons and supplies. How did Gu treat you?"

Lu Su walked in from the door at this moment, and looked at Zhou Yu with a pale and gloomy expression!

Immediately after seeing the latter, he continued:

"My lord still holds Zhou Yu in high regard, and has not punished me!"

Sun Quan asked again, "This time, you said that you can attack Cao's army and wipe out Cao's 80 troops. You asked me to send troops quickly. How will Gu deal with it?"

Zhou Yu sank, and continued:
"Your Majesty, attack quickly and believe in me. I will be grateful in the end!"

After saying that, Sun Quan turned around slowly, but Zhou Yu thumped in his heart when he saw his gloomy and sullen expression!
"Then Governor Zhou, how did you repay Gu?"

Knowing that he was wrong, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and said:

"The military order is like a mountain! Since I have not fulfilled the military order, then I ask the lord to deal with my military law and beheaded to show the public!"

Clang!
Seeing that Sun Quan suddenly jumped up, he kicked the table next to him, flipped it over in an instant, and pointed at Zhou Yu with ferocious anger on his face!

"Do you think you don't deserve to die, Zhou Yu?! In vain, I, Sun Quan, trusted you so much. Because you are my elder brother's best friend, I entrusted most of the military power in the entire Jiangdong to you. Is this how you repay Gu?!"

With a roar, the entire main tent was shocked, and the temperature dropped to freezing point in an instant!
Zhou Yu's face was ashen, and he didn't quibble!
From Chibi to the present, Jiangdong has exhausted their manpower and material resources, and they have come to nothing, but today they have to bear such a shame!

10,000+ soldiers!
A full 10,000+ soldiers!

They didn't even wipe out Cao Su and the two thousand soldiers he brought, and even let them retreat in the end!

If this gets out, the whole world will regard Jiang Dong as a laughing stock!

Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, could not escape the fact that they were stabbed in the back!
And all of this was given by Cao Su!
But for some reason, Zhou Yu felt a little more inexplicably relaxed than the previous few days!
This feeling is like he has already admitted the fact that Cao Su is better than him in his heart, so he doesn't have so much burden anymore!

Besides...

People are going to die, so what burden is there to talk about?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu placed all the crowns and general seals in his hands on the ground, bowing his head and pleading guilty:
"The last general is doomed to death! Please forgive me, my lord!"

"Come on!"

But Sun Quan yelled mercilessly, "Drag Zhou Yu down and behead him for public display!"

"No, my lord!"

Lu Su who was behind him couldn't stand anymore, he immediately went up and knelt down in front of Sun Quan with Zhou Yu and said:

"My lord! Although Gong Jin is guilty, the situation this time is really special. Who would have thought that this Cao Su could really grow wings and fly? Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, let alone meeting a rare genius , even though I lost, I am not wronged!"

"What's more, the situation in Jiangdong is so chaotic now. If you really kill Gongjin, who can replace him as the governor? My lord, Gongjin is a rare general in the ages. You can't just look at him. His merits don't look at the opponent he faces!"

"And now Cao Cao is gone, Cao Su is still alive, and Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang sitting in Jiangxia. The most urgent thing is to take Jingzhou first, which is the most important thing. If Gongjin dies, Jiangdong Who else can compete with these two?"

"My lord, please think again!"

Lu Su was really in a hurry this time, he didn't expect Sun Quan to be so angry that he really wanted to put Zhou Yu to death!
In Jiangdong, who can have the talent of a commander like Zhou Yu?
But he really can't help it!

Who made the enemies he encountered were all perverts?

You can't lose the battle, let the thief go, and finally end up with a dead general!

If this is the case, Jiangdong is really over!
As a bystander, Lu Su naturally analyzed the pros and cons clearly, so he resolutely couldn't let Sun Quan kill Zhou Yu and subconsciously blurt out so much advice!

After being persuaded by him like this, Sun Quan really calmed down, looked fiercely at Lu Su who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Zhou Yu who was silent!
Immediately afterwards, he paced back and forth in the same place, with no expression of joy or anger on his face!
Although he was annoyed by Zhou Yu's repeated defeats, as the lord of Jiangdong, he could analyze the pros and cons of it after thinking about it, and he also knew that Zhou Yu could not die at this moment!
You know, there are too many soldiers in the entire Jiangdong who are former masters, including Zhou Yu!

Although they are all obedient to themselves on the surface, Sun Quan has a clear heart. Most of them obey Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu was a colleague who sold his belongings and came to support Sun Ce's business!

Once he's dead!

Jiangdong's hearts will be scattered!

Once such a gap is caught by Liu Bei or Cao Cao, it will be the day of Jiangdong's destruction!
So his seemingly extremely angry convict was actually just to seize power...

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Quan took a deep breath, pretended to be very melancholy, and said:
"Zijing said, how can Gu not know? Gong Jin has worked hard day and night, but Gu has never seen it in his eyes, but in the end it is a meritorious deed. Death penalty can be avoided, and life crime cannot be escaped. From today on, Zhou Yu will be demoted three levels in a row. , a one-year salary penalty, and the position of the governor is tentatively decided, and we will make a decision when there is a suitable candidate!"

After the words fell, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression in his eyes became more and more complicated!
How could he fail to see Sun Quan's intentions!
It's just that at this moment, he has no right to refute anything, and can only let Sun Quan slaughter himself!

But even so, he still couldn't help feeling a little chilled in his heart!

Think back then, when Sun Ce was still there, Zhou Yu was so impassioned, he discussed with him day and night about Jiangdong's major affairs, and he didn't even feel tired for several days without eating or sleeping!
But now, he was feeling tired!

He, Zhou Yu, can die in battle!
But I will never allow myself to be hidden in the hands of my own people!
Then the corner of his mouth moved, and he bowed his hands and said:

"The last general... obey!"
