Three Kingdoms: Cao Chong's will, in fact, my eldest brother is not dead!

Chapter 156 Sun Quan, receiving the title
This is what Cao Ang wanted. Even if Huang Zhong wasn't around and there were not many people around him, Sun Quan didn't dare to do anything.

Then Cao Ang even ordered to the crossbowmen guarding outside the posthouse: "Let's all retreat, this is Jiangdong, and it is Wuhou's territory. Of course, security is his business. Let Wuhou's soldiers come to protect it."

Soon, all of Cao Ang's crossbowmen left, without delay or doubt.

Of course, the eighteen guards are still there, four are in the open, and the rest are hidden in the dark.

Sun Quan knew that Cao Ang was putting pressure on himself, and asking Sun Quan to send people to surround the post house showed Cao Ang's self-confidence.

If you shrink back at this time, the deterrent effect will be compromised.

So Sun Quan could only recruit his own people to surround the post house tightly, which was just a posture of protection.

When Sun Quan's men surrounded the place, Cao Ang stood up.

"Wu Hou, since you don't want to drink, let's talk about other things."

Sun Quan was still at the bottom of the steps, and Cao Ang stood condescendingly. When he invited him to drink just now, Sun Quan wanted to go up, but Cao Ang didn't seem to want to wait for him to agree.

Here we come, this should be an attack, it must be about what happened tonight.

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu beside him, and Zhou Yu nodded, implying that he was fine and everything had an excuse.

You Cao Ang was attacked, and we in Soochow also lost a lot of people. They were all attacked by surprise. You can only blame Shanyue. If you don’t accept it, you let the prime minister’s million-strong army go to the mountains to wipe it out?

"Zixiu, I'm sorry about what happened tonight, I..."

"What's going on tonight? Oh, you said that these corpses are all dead, and what are they doing?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Ang didn't want to mention what happened tonight at all. Was it more serious?
Sure enough, Cao Ang said slowly again: "Prime Minister Cao, a million troops have already deployed in Wulin area of ​​Chibi. I want to ask Marquis Wu, what do you want them to do?"

"Zixiu, please tell me clearly, what can they do here?"

"You can come to fight, or you can come to be a guest, it depends on your attitude of Marquis Wu."

I understand, this is asking for money, I didn't expect Cao Ang to talk about this without the incident of being attacked tonight, it's really clever.

In this way, what happened tonight became a default, which means that Cao Ang knew that you did it, so he didn't bother to listen to your sophistry.

Instead of saying that it's useless for half a day, let's talk about the price.

"Then Jiangdong naturally hopes that they are here as guests."

"That's right, Jiangdong is so hospitable, and he didn't disappoint me. It depends on whether the host and guest can have a good time."

"Then how can we have fun?"

"Our army has come from afar, so we naturally have good expectations for Jiangdong..."

As Cao Ang said, he took out a silk book and knew without thinking that it was a condition.

Although paper was not cheap in this era, silk was still more expensive, and it was perfect for official documents.

Holding the silk book, Cao Ang didn't move, and Sun Quan couldn't walk over to pick it up.

He is Marquis Wu, Cao Ang is just a general with five senses, there is no reason for Marquis Wu to welcome him.

At this time, Zhou Yu wanted to go up to pick it up, but no matter what, he had to look first before talking, but a guard stood up and blocked Zhou Yu.

"This……"

Sun Quan was embarrassed, he had tens of thousands of people present, how dare Cao Ang humiliate him in public?

The rudeness just now can be tolerated, after all, it is a private activity, and the two are also relatives on the surface, so there is no need to be so particular.

But now you Cao Ang are still doing such an official matter of submitting the silk book, are you afraid that Sun Quan will go all out?
Cao Ang was really not afraid, his voice was amplified so that the audience could hear: "Don't worry, there is one more thing."

"Wu Houqing made great contributions in suppressing bandits, and he has been guarding Jiangdong for so many years. The prime minister is very moved."

"It's not okay not to reward such a credit, it can't show the law."

"Therefore, the prime minister agreed to designate Marquis Wu as General Pingyue, and use this title to commend his achievements over the years."

"It's all written here, and I won't recite it anymore, Sun Quan, come and pick it up."

With this attitude, Sun Quan almost couldn't hold back. Zhou Yu was about to draw his sword, and his eyes were fixed on Sun Quan.

As soon as Sun Quan gave orders, Zhou Yu immediately ordered someone to attack, no matter how much combat power Cao Ang had, he would have to do his best to humiliate people like this, at least it was Marquis Wu who had dominated Jiangdong for many years.

When Sun Quan was about to go up to pick him up, it was not a matter of title or official position, but an attitude of submission.

Cao Cao is sealed, and if you accept it, it means surrendering to Cao Cao.

"My lord, I can't take it!"

Zhou Yu was on the sidelines, and all the soldiers of Soochow Wu were on the scene. If he admits this, his morale will be lost.

But can Sun Quan refuse?
This is a step for him, not to say surrender, it is already very face-saving.

If he didn't express his surrender, how could Cao Cao withdraw his troops? Sun Quan should have thought of this.

Since he wanted to make peace, then this hurdle should not be avoided. Sun Quan wanted to procrastinate, but tonight Cao Ang took this opportunity and did not let him procrastinate, forcing him to express his opinion.

"Wait, don't move lightly!"

Sun Quan first looked at Zhou Yu and suppressed Zhou Yu's possible impulse. After all, he was the lord, so Zhou Yu had nothing to do.

Then, Sun Quan really went to pick it up, accepted the title, and let the world know his compromise.

Only then did Cao Ang nod in satisfaction. Cao Ang, who was covered in blood, was very oppressive.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the reward..."

"Speaking of rewards, Jiangdong's hospitality should also be reflected, it's all written on it."

Cao Ang wasn't polite to him at all, and Sun Quan couldn't help but glanced at the silk scroll as expected.

"How much do you want?"

"Jiangdong's outstanding people, there are so many of them, this is too much, isn't it not hospitable enough?"

Sun Quan scolded in his heart, who wants to be so hospitable and ask for so much property, Cao Cao can raise an army of one million for several years without any problem, this is going to cause a lot of bleeding.

Cao Ang also reminded: "In fact, you don't need to take it out immediately, don't you have to pay money and food every year... By the way, it is good that you can belong to the Datong. Jiangdong is not private, and it is not a human being to hand over property year by year. What should the minister do?"

Of course, not only do you want these properties, but you also need to collect taxes.

Although it is said that these things written on the silk script do not need to be taken out at one time, but can be paid in installments, but it is indeed too much.

But Cao Ang also said, why do you keep so much money and food for yourself? Do you want to support private soldiers?
At this point, Sun Quan didn't want to pinch his nose to admit it immediately, but he had to struggle, at least it would make people think he was struggling.

"Such a big matter, let's talk about it after the discussion?"

"It's none of my business that you discuss yours. I'm leaving tomorrow. Wu Hou can figure it out."

Pressing again, Cao Ang gave an ultimatum, so that's it, if you don't agree, you will start a war, there is nothing to say.

But what's the situation now, news came that Chaisang was captured by Cao Cao again, and Cao Ang dared to play such a move even in Jingkou, which fully demonstrated that he had seen Sun Quan's hole card.
