The game starts with Cao Cao as the main character, and the beauty sheds countless tears.

Chapter 513 Guo Tu in Action! A God-Level Infiltrator Points His Sword at Zhou Yu!

a few days ago

Jiangdong

Upon learning that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were about to clash in Hanzhong, Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and requested permission from Sun Quan to attack Jiangxia.

With the unanimous approval of important advisors such as Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, and Guo Tu, Sun Quan approved Zhou Yu's application.

But Guo Tu keenly noticed the anxiety and impatience in Sun Quan's eyes.

After everyone had left, Guo Tu said to Sun Quan:

"My lord, it is truly a blessing that Jiangdong has a man like Commander Zhou."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Tu leaned back tactically, as if to say something more, and covered his mouth, saying:

"I misspoke, please forgive me, my lord."

Sun Quan's trust in Guo Tu had long reached a very high level, regarding Guo Tu as a true confidant. How could he blame Guo Tu for such a thing?

Instead of reprimanding Guo Tu, he comforted him, saying:

“In Jiangdong, and in Sun’s place, there are not many rules, only free speech.”

"Moreover, Mr. Guo has always been considering Mr. Sun's interests."

"A few heartfelt words, surely I, Sun, cannot bear to hear them?"

Guo Tu feigned deep gratitude and bowed repeatedly to Sun Quan:

"It is I who should thank my lord!"

"If it weren't for your high regard, my lord, I would probably have been captured by Cao Cao's army and made a laborer long ago. How would I have had the opportunity to witness a wider world?"

Sun Quan interpreted Guo Tu's words as meaning that Guo Tu was almost captured by Cao Cao's army and made into a garrison soldier!

Although, under Su Yu's influence, Cao Cao's army did not have the bad habit of forcibly capturing civilians to become garrison soldiers.

But as an enemy of Cao Cao's camp, Sun Quan naturally had to stand on the moral and righteous high ground and accuse Cao Cao's camp of being the embodiment of evil!

Therefore, this whole so-called land reclamation system is just a facade, a sham.

In reality, Cao Cao's army was abusing the people, forcibly arresting them and forcing them to work in the fields.

I don't know.

The underlying meaning of Guo Tu is:

If it weren't for a lord like you, Sun Shiwan, I, Guo Tu, would probably have spent the rest of my life in the dark and hopeless mansion of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat!

Guo Tu still feels lingering fear upon hearing the story of his former colleague Feng Ji's severe torment at the Ministry of Personnel.

After Sun Quan's repeated "persuasion," Guo Tu, speaking from an observer's perspective, said:

"My lord, do you remember the last time we attacked the Shanyue?"

"You personally led the troops, using only one hundred men, and defeated a mountain Yue army of two thousand!"

"Such achievements are rare, not to mention the generals of Jiangdong, even if we look back at the nearly four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there are very few people who can achieve them."

"This is a numerical disadvantage of one to twenty!"

"Given time, if our lord personally leads 100,000 men north, even if Cao Cao's camp sends out 2 million troops, they will not be a match for our lord!"

After Guo Tu said that, Sun Quan recalled the fierce battle he had fought three months earlier.

In that battle, he led from the front, wielding an ancient sword and riding a purple-tempered steed, and personally killed two Yue soldiers!

With such a record, he truly deserves to be called the son of the Tiger of Jiangdong and the younger brother of Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror!

A smile appeared at the corner of Guo Tu's eyes.

In terms of checks and balances, Sun Quan's methods were unparalleled.

But when it comes to fighting and tactics, Sun Quan was both incompetent and loved to play around!

The truth about the last battle against the Shanyue was that Xu Sheng and Xing Daorong had bypassed the enemy and burned their supplies beforehand.

In order to rush back and salvage the grain, the Yue army at the front line had to retreat.

Thanks to Guo Tu's vigorous promotion, the war became a one-sided affair for Sun Quan.

It was Sun Quan's imposing presence that caused the Yue soldiers to crumble in disarray!

As for Xu Sheng and Xing Daorong, they kept their merits and fame hidden.

Anyway, everyone's an undercover agent.

Gaining Sun Quan's trust and favor was undoubtedly more important than taking credit for others' work.

"Mr. Guo, why bring this up all of a sudden?"

“Sun was merely testing the waters.”

"It's a pity that someone like Mr. Sun can't personally lead troops often, which means he's missing out on a lot of fun."

Sun Quan complained, seemingly with a hint of helplessness.

In reality, he was thinking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and other warlords of the same era.

Liu Bei was one thing, but most of the time he was a commander without troops, and he had to personally lead the army even if he didn't want to.

However, Cao Cao's family was large and powerful, and he was still able to do many things personally and lead troops himself.

What exactly makes me inferior to him?

Sun Quan was troubled by this problem for a long time.

At this moment, faced with Guo Tu's guidance, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought once again.

Guo Tu sighed:

"Cao Mengde had a trusted advisor like Su Ziyi by his side."

"But you, my lord, are no less impressive."

"Ziyu, Zijing, and others are all talented individuals of our time."

"In addition, Cao Mengde also had Xun Wenruo to hold the rear."

"My lord can achieve the same effect by using the balance of power among the various factions."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Guo!"

The more Guo Tu spoke, the more enlightened Sun Quan became.

In a daze, he seemed to realize what he lacked compared to Cao Cao!

War exploits!

Besides battle achievements, they were damn battle achievements!

Cao Cao was not only the lord, but also the strongest commander in his camp, without exception.

Although Cao Cao's camp had soldiers from powerful families, Cao Cao, the Xiahou clan, and his trusted generals such as Yue Jin, Li Dian, Xu Rong, and Yu Jin also held considerable military power.

Sun Quan's military power was not entirely nonexistent, but it was pitifully small!

Sun Quan himself needed to stay in the rear year-round to balance the power of various factions.

This organizational structure itself did not leave Sun Quan with many opportunities to command soldiers in battle.

It's like Sun Quan was carrying a burden all year round.

Such matters as expanding territory could only be left to Zhou Yu.

but……

Military power is the real backbone!

Suddenly, a shadow fell over Sun Quan's eyes.

Guo Tu smiled, a very genuine smile.

While Sun Quan may not have been a skilled military commander, his intelligence should never be underestimated.

Therefore, Guo Tu stopped there.

The rest is up to Sun Quan to fill in the blanks.

Being too smart isn't always a good thing.

For example, if Xu Sheng were here, he would only shout that he wanted to "defend the territory of Jiangdong".

If Xing Daorong were here, he would be good at all kinds of boasting and joking, but he would never make any connection to other aspects of the story.

But a man as shrewd as Sun Quan, when faced with the temptation of power, would automatically conjure up a whole drama in his mind.

suddenly.

Sun Quan grasped Guo Tu's hand and said to him:

"Mr. Sun has an important task he wants to entrust to Mr. Guo."

"Please, Mr. Guo, do not refuse!"

Guo Tu's lips twitched slightly.

Since Sun Quan had said so, he clearly had no room to refuse.

But Guo Tu thought again, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"

Anyway, I've been undercover here for so long.

What mission is more dangerous than going undercover?

however.

Guo Tu ultimately underestimated Sun Quan's ambition.

The moment Guo Tu learned about the mission objective, the voice of "Barbie Q" seemed to echo in his mind.

Oh...no!!!

Sun Quan's task was to send Guo Tu to Zhou Yu's side as a military supervisor.

Of course, the value of Guo Tu's position as military supervisor is completely different from that of Ju Shou's.

Ju Shou himself controlled 60% of Yuan's troops.

Guo Tu, this so-called military supervisor, was merely a figurehead; Zhou Yu's men at the front lines wouldn't even give him a second glance.

But in just a moment, Guo Tu mentally prepared himself.

Who said he has no one available?

Aren't there two more left?
