"Newspaper!"
Outside the camp, a soldier reported.
The soldier entered the camp and said, "king, outside the camp, there is a man who calls himself the envoy of King Wu and has come to see the king."
Liu Xiu said, "please!"
Today, the state of Chu and the state of Wu are at war, and Sun Quan has sent envoys. This is interesting.
After a short time, Sun Quan's envoys entered the camp.
Liu Xiu looked at the visitors with admiration in his heart.
The visitor was dressed in a black robe, wearing a Jinxian crown, a jade belt around his waist and long boots. He was tall, handsome and extraordinary.
Entering the big account, the middle-aged man said, "Wu Guo, Zhao Zi, meet the king of Chu."
Liu Xiu was surprised to hear Zhao Zi's name.
Sun Quan sent Zhao Zi.
Among the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zi rarely appeared, but left a lot of money.
According to historical records, after Guan Yu was killed and Jingzhou was captured by the state of Wu, Liu Bei was angry and attacked the state of Wu. As soon as the two sides fought, Liu Bei won in succession, and Sun Quan had no resistance.
In order to protect himself, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for peace.
However, Liu Bei didn't agree and was determined to conquer Wu.
Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei was coming fiercely, and his elite soldiers could not resist. In addition, there was the state of Wei in the north, so he was also worried that Cao Pi would take advantage of the fire and rob.
In desperation, Sun Quan went up to Cao Pi and surrendered to him.
Sun Quan sent Zhao Zi to Yecheng to ask Cao Pi for peace.
When Zhao Zi saw Cao Pi, Cao Pi looked down on Sun Quan and held up airs. At that time, Cao Pi, the monarch of Wei, Shu and Wu, had the highest talent.
Although Cao Pi could not compare with Cao Zhi, he was also proficient in poetry and Fu and was a man of great talent.
In the presence of Zhao Zi, Cao Pi asked Sun Quan about his literary attainments?
Cao Pi's intention was to suppress Sun Quan.
However, Zhao Zi's answer is quite wonderful.
Zhao Zi didn't answer Cao Pi's question directly. He said humbly: "King Wu has ten thousand boats floating in the river, and he has one million armor. He has the ability to serve the people and is determined to keep his strategy. In his spare time, he also read books and spread history, but he didn't follow the Confucian scholars to pick up chapters and sentences, only to adopt the gist and observe the gist. "
In a word, Cao Pi was embarrassed.
Cao Pi was proud of his mastery of poetry and Fu and his outstanding talent.
In Zhao Zi's reply, he said that Sun Quan's mind was all about the government, just reading in his spare time. The implication is that as a monarch, he has to study poetry and books thoroughly, which is to abandon the essence and pursue the end.
After choking on Zhao Zi's words, Cao Pi was not reconciled.
Immediately, Cao Pi changed direction.
Following Zhao Zi's words, Cao Pi asked: "Sun Quanzhi is in charge of Wu state, but Wei state wants to attack Wu state. Can Wu state resist it?"
The state of Wei was powerful, and Cao Pi put pressure on others.
Zhao Zi was still plain, and he replied: "the state of Wei had the elite who conquered the state of Wu, and the state of Wu also had a long way to resist. Moreover, the navy of the state of Wu is unparalleled in the world, which is enough to ensure that the state of Wu will not fall. "
Among the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the cavalry of Wei was the most powerful, and the water army of Wu was the most powerful.
There is no doubt about it.
When Cao Pi heard Zhao Zi's words, he was speechless.
Zhao Zi's humble and unassuming reply made Cao Pi unable to gain the upper hand.
In the end, Cao Pi gave up making trouble and asked, "how many people are there like Mr. Wu?"
Zhao Zi, a little modest, replied, "there are no less than 100 people in the state of Wu. Like me, there are countless cars. "
After hearing this, Cao Pi praised Zhao Zi very much.
Finally, Cao Pi accepted Sun Quan as a minister.
In this way, Sun Quan's northern defense line was stable, so he turned to resist Liu Bei's attack, and finally won the battle of Yiling.
Zhao Zi, who doesn't appear much, is really a talent.
Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled and said, "Zhao Zi, let me guess what you've come for. Did Sun Quan send you to seek peace? "
Zhao said: "I admire the wisdom of the king of Chu."
Liu xiudao said: "everyone in the world knows that this crusade against the state of Wu was led by the king. If I stop halfway, what do people think of me? "
Zhao said: "with the war, there will be countless people affected. If the king of Chu stopped fighting, the people would only applaud. Not only will the king of Chu not sweep the floor with dignity, but he will make the people respect him even more. "
Liu xiudao said, "but I'm determined to take the kingdom of Wu."
After hearing this, Zhao Zi passed a dignified look on his face.
Liu Xiuben is a man of unparalleled talent. It is not easy for him to persuade Liu Xiu.
Zhao said: "the king of Chu can only push the state of Wu to the state of Wei."
"Our Lord asked the king of Chu for peace. First, the state of Wu fought on two fronts and was embarrassed by the heavy burden. Second, the state of Wu and the state of Chu were related by marriage, and their legs were broken and their tendons were still attached."
"It's true that the state of Wu was defeated by the state of Wei and the state of Chu."
"But if the state of Wu submits to any side, it will strengthen the power of one side and make this side have overwhelming strength.""King Chu, please think twice."
Zhao Zi's words are neither humble nor overbearing, and his expression is still calm and self-contained.
In his description, Sun Quan's obedience to Liu Xiu is based on sun Shangxiang's face.
Otherwise, Sun Quan would submit to Cao Cao and the state of Chu would be in danger.
Liu Xiu secretly told Zhao Zi that he was intelligent and accessible, and saw the key to the problem at a glance. However, Liu Xiu was not afraid.
Liu xiudao: "Zhao Zi, the key to the problem is, will Cao Cao accept Sun Quan?"
Hearing the speech, Zhao Zi's eyes flashed a look of fear.
Zhao Zi's words are threatening to hit Liu Xiu's weak point. But Liu Xiu's counterattack also hit the weakness of Wu.
Once Cao Cao did not accept Wu's surrender, Wu would fall into a two line battle.
This is the most fatal weakness.
Zhao said that he would not admit Liu Xiu's words, let alone show weakness. Once he admitted Liu Xiu's words, his mission was a complete failure.
Zhao Zi smiles and says in a deep voice: "the king of Chu is fallacious!"
Liu xiudao: "I'd like to hear it in detail!"
Zhao Zizheng said: "the state of Wu is subordinate to the state of Wei. The power of the state of Wei is greatly increased. How can Cao Cao miss the chance to destroy the state of Chu?"
When Liu Xiu heard this, he burst out laughing.
Laughter, with banter, more disdain.
Zhao said: "why does the king of Chu laugh?"
Liu Xiu replied, "if Sun Quan gives up his military power and goes to Ye City as a prisoner, I believe Cao Cao will agree. Of course, if Sun Quan gives up his military power and goes to Xiangyang as a prisoner, I will also agree. "
"But is Sun Quan willing?"
"Sun Quan's surrender to peace is just like this on the surface. It's really not worth mentioning."
"As long as Sun Quan stays in the state of Wu for one day, the state of Wu is the state of the state."
"Such a state of Wu would not listen to the dispatch at all."
"Cao Cao took over the state of Wu. When he attacked the state of Chu, Sun Quan might not have stabbed Cao Cao directly."
Liu Xiu said: "Zhao Zi, will Cao Cao accept such Sun Quan?"
Zhao Zi's face was dignified when he heard Liu Xiu's words.
Liu Xiu's analysis can be said to be the most important core.
When Sun Quan surrendered, he would send protons at most, but he would never hand over military power.
Zhao Zi still shook his head, but he still did not admit defeat. He said: "the king of Chu is poor. The king of Wu obeys the king of Wei, and he should help the king of Wei. How can he go against morality and attack the king of Wei again?"
Liu Xiu gave a cold smile.
Although Zhao Zi is good at debating, the situation is like this now. Even if there is a gap in Zhao's mind, it is difficult for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice.
This is the general situation, so it is difficult for Zhao to do anything.
Liu xiudao: "a fool can know that once the state of Wei destroys the state of Chu, the next step is the state of Wu."
"Sun Quan is such a human being that he can't see this?"
"So even if Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Cao, he would eventually turn against Cao Cao and would not let Cao Cao destroy the state of Chu. What Sun Quan most hopes to see is that Chu and Wei are both defeated, so that he can make a difference. "
"Unfortunately, I won't give him this chance."
"Similarly, Cao Cao will not give him this opportunity."
Liu Xiu stared at Zhao Zi and said, "Zhao Zi, do you understand now?"
Zhao Zi swallowed his saliva and felt helpless.
In the face of Liu Xiu, he not only did not persuade Liu Xiu, but let himself waver.
Zhao Zi gritted his teeth and said, "the king of Chu, before I was sent as an envoy, the king of Wu also asked me to say something."
Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "what words?"
