Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

After receiving Sun Quan's order, Lu Fan rushed to Wancheng again, ready to negotiate with Hua Yu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Fan did not see Hua Yu again as he wished, but only saw Pang Tong.

According to Pang Tong, Hua Yu went back to Chang'an to deal with the matter, and he had explained before leaving that if Lu Fan came to negotiate again, Pang Tong would be in charge.

Lu Fan was secretly surprised, Wei Gong was really amazing, he expected my lord to agree to such a humiliating condition.

Since Hua Yu was not there, Lu Fan had no choice but to negotiate with Pang Tong.

Who would have thought that Lu Fan was conceited as a disciple of the Strategist family, born with eloquence and eloquence, but he seemed useless in front of Pang Tong.

Pang Tong's eloquence was far superior to him, and he quickly rendered Lu Fan speechless.

It seemed that if Sun Quan couldn't pay so much money and food, he would be sorry for Hua Yu and the world.

Lu Fan was sweating and couldn't argue with Pang Tong, so he had to temporarily cease fighting and go back to report to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was so angry that he wanted to chop off Lu Fan's head.

However, there are still a few generals under Sun Quan's command, but there are very few civil servants, so he has to raise the bottom line and let Lu Fan go back to negotiate.

Pang Tong was not so easy to deal with, and Sun Quan's new bottom line still couldn't satisfy him.

Lu Fan had no choice but to return to Pingyu again, sweating all over, to ask Sun Quan for instructions.

After doing this three times, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

The first and third conditions remain unchanged, but the second condition is reduced from 20 gold and 100 million stones to 12 gold and 60 stones.

Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with this result, which was much higher than his first bottom line.

However, the good news is that the money and food do not need to be paid in one lump sum, but can be divided into three installments, with an interval of no more than one year.

Three days later, Ling Cao's family, Sun An's three sisters, 20 gold and [-] stones of grain and grass were delivered, and the war between Hua Yu and Sun Ce came to an end for the time being.

In this battle, Sun Ce suffered heavy losses.

Sun Ce died, He Qi, Dong Xi, and Chen Wu were killed in battle, and the entire army of [-] soldiers and horses was wiped out.

Then, 12 gold and 60 stone grain and grass, as well as Ling Cao's father and son, and the three sisters Sun An.

The reputation of the Sun family has also suffered a fatal blow.

At least, there should be no people in the world who would turn to Sun Quan.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu is still there, enough to help Sun Quan stabilize the situation.

Next, it should be Sun Quan's hard work and hard work.

When the news reached Puyang, Cao Cao couldn't help being disappointed.

Originally, when Sun Ce was defeated, Cao Cao secretly dispatched troops, horses, food and grass, preparing to take the opportunity to go south and occupy all of Yuzhou.

As a result, before Cao Cao had time to send troops, Sun Quan negotiated peace with Hua Yu and got married.

Now, Cao Cao became a little scrupulous, and immediately called Guo Jia and Cheng Yu over to discuss.

After the two listened, they were all silent for a while.

Cheng Yu sighed: "Then Sun Quan is only 12 years old, and he can accept Zhou Yu's strategy of enduring humiliation and stealing life. This person is not simple."

From Cheng Yu's point of view, Zhou Yu should have come up with this strategy in order to preserve Sun Ce's strength.

In fact, Zhou Yu didn't dare to come up with such a plan, it was Sun Quan's own idea.

Guo Jia frowned and said: "My lord, this son of Sun Quan is far superior to Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and somewhat similar to Liu Bei, so he will definitely not be someone in the pool in the future."

"My lord, you must be careful. Sun Quan will unite with Hua Yu, raise troops to the north, and recover Liang and Pei."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and then his face changed. It is indeed possible.

For Sun Quan, Chen Guo, Yingchuan County and Runan County, which only occupy Yuzhou, are naturally too weak.

Therefore, only when the entire Yuzhou is under his jurisdiction, Sun Quan can be regarded as a real prince of the Kanto.

As for Hua Yu, joining forces with Sun Quan and helping Sun Quan recover Liang and Pei would be of great benefit.

First, this battle can consume the strength of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

Second, Cao Cao lost Liang Guo and Pei Guo, and his strength was damaged. After Sun Quan occupied Yuzhou, his strength naturally increased.

The strength of the two is almost the same, and they can compete with each other.

Cheng Yu muttered to himself, "This is going to be difficult."

"Now that Sun Quan is married to Hua Yu, Hua Yu will naturally use Sun Quan to fight against the princes of the Guandong."

"Yuan Shu annexed hundreds of thousands in Huainan. This bone is extremely difficult to crack. Hua Yu will definitely not aim at Yuan Shu."

"Then, there is only the lord."

"Hua Yu knows that the lord is the one who threatens him the most among the princes of the Kanto region, so how can he just let the lord become stronger?

"Feng Xiao's guess is correct. Hua Ziyi will definitely use Sun Quan's hand to fight against the lord, and Sun Quan will never refuse for the sake of Liang Guo and Pei Guo."

Cao Cao sneered: "He Hua Ziyi is powerful, but I, Cao Mengde, am not a soft persimmon to be pinched."

"My Yanzhou is short of food, and I can't support long-distance combat, but if Hua Ziyi dares to attack my Yanzhou, it will not be so easy."

These words sounded a bit harsh, but both Guo Jia and Cheng Yu understood that Cao Cao was a bit harsh.

The current situation of the Kanto princes has changed.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have reached the brink of a battle of life and death.

As Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan were killed one after another, the war between the two could not be stopped, only one side should perish.

What about Yuan Shu?
It has become a dead bone in the grave, with three 10,000+ troops guarding the land of Huainan and Jiangxia County, without any enterprising spirit.

What about Liu Bei?
The first is to appease Jiangdong, the second is to guard Xuzhou and Jiangdong, and the third is to conquer Yamatai.

Therefore, Liu Bei currently has no intention of expanding abroad for the time being.

Even if Cao Cao and Sun Quan fought upside down, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei would not intervene.

In this way, if Hua Yu and Sun Quan joined forces, Cao Cao would surely be defeated.

Guan Yu had a feud with Hua Yu for killing his father, and Hua Yu had a feud with the Yuan family for exterminating his family, but there was no deep hatred between Hua Yu and Cao Cao.

It's just that Hua Yu took Bian's family and Huan'er, and his son Cao Zhang, who hated Hua Yu deeply.

Originally, Hua Yu planned to send Cao Zhang back to Cao Cao after the Bian family gave birth to a child.

But Mrs. Bian is not pregnant yet, so she can only wait for this matter.

Guo Jia's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a smile, "My lord, Jia has a plan to keep the lord safe."

"Even if the lord goes south to conquer Sun Quan, Hua Yu can only stand by and watch."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately asked: "Feng Xiao has a clever plan, so let's talk about it quickly."

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Actually, this plan is not difficult. Just like Sun Quan, it is also a plan for marriage."

Is it also a plan for marriage?

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed drastically.

Guo Jia continued: "If Jia remembers correctly, the eldest daughter of the lord, Cao Qing, is just 15 years old this year, right?"

Cao Qing, the eldest daughter of Cao Cao, did not leave her name in history.

However, in history, after Cao Pi usurped the throne, Cao Cao was named Emperor Wu of Wei, and Cao Qing was named Princess Qinghe in Jin Dynasty.
