Chapter 383 Sun Quan: Guo Yu and Xu Shen are all veteran anti-Cao figures!
Xu Sheng understood Guo Tu's meaning.
They're here as undercover agents, not as assassins.
So, Xu Sheng then entered a phase of feigning ignorance.
The main feature is its adorable and endearing appearance.
He even used Dian Wei's signature move: gnawing on a chicken leg!
However, Xu Sheng didn't have any chicken legs in his hand at the moment, so it was as if he was eating air.
Ling Tong acted as the microphone, briefly informing Sun Quan of the situation regarding Guo Tu and Xu Sheng.
After listening, Sun Quan nodded repeatedly, his eyes gleaming.
Regardless of whether these two people had any real talent or ability, he accepted them anyway.
Imagine two people who have a grudge against Cao Cao traveling thousands of miles to seek refuge in Jiangdong. This could be used as a propaganda example!
The wicked Cao Cao is the common enemy of all those with ambition in the world!
Anyone who intends to rebel against Cao Cao or dislikes Cao Cao is welcome to join me, Sun Quan!
In other words, I, Sun Quan, have the ability to protect you!
Hmm, although Sun Quan was just showing off.
But he really longed for talented people from Cao Cao's northern territory to voluntarily join him.
Firstly, Jiangdong had a relatively low attraction for talent from the north, and Sun Quan needed talent from the north as fresh blood.
Secondly, Zhang Hong had close ties with the powerful families of Jiangdong, and Sun Quan wasn't entirely at ease with Zhou Yu.
Therefore, the only ones he can truly trust are...
For example, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others were all from north of the Yangtze River, and were considered to have no real roots in Jiangdong!
Before Guo Tu could speak, Sun Quan strode forward and grabbed his hands.
Tears can come on any time!
Like a textbook, it vividly demonstrates what it means to "meet someone too late and be moved to tears"!
"Mr. Guo, Mr. Xu, you are both heroes!"
“Sun has always admired heroes.”
"It is a great blessing for Jiangdong to have you two join us!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Guo Tu's eyes.
Holy crap!
Met an opponent!
This was Guo Tu's first reaction.
But the stronger the opponent, the more it inspires Guo Tu's fighting spirit!
Moreover, Guo Tu frequently uses psychological suggestion.
Always remember that you are not an undercover agent, but a damn genuine fighter who wants to join Jiangdong and fight Cao Cao to the end!
The highest level of espionage is not being a suicidal spy, but deceiving even yourself!
For example, right now, Guo Tu's brain immediately accepted the concept of an "anti-Cao fighter".
He forcefully released Sun Quan's hands, jumping up and down while pointing and cursing in the due north direction:
"Traitor Cao Cao! Villainous Cao Cao! Rebel Cao Cao!"
"Such scoundrels deserve to be killed by everyone!"
"I hereby swear that as long as I live, I will carry on the cause of resisting Cao Cao to the very end!"
"A righteous man! A true righteous man!"
Infected by Guo Tu's emotions, Sun Quan stepped forward again, took Guo Tu's hand, and wished he could have a long talk with him.
"By the way, Mr. Guo, I still don't know your name...?"
Sun Quan was not a fool like Gao Gan, after all.
Although excited, I remained rational.
He made up his mind to send his spies to carefully verify the identities of the two men afterward.
If these two are indeed not spies in Cao Cao's camp, they should definitely be given important positions in the future!
"General Sun, my name is Guo Yu, and I am a relative of Guo Jia, that damned tomb robber from Cao Cao's camp!"
"The Xu brothers' name is Xu Shen, and they are from Xujia Village in Xuzhou."
"We both wish we could eat Cao Cao's flesh and sleep on his skin!"
As he spoke, Guo Tu gritted his teeth, and Sun Quan could even hear the crunching sound of his teeth.
Xu Sheng, standing to the side, also raised his voice at the opportune moment:
"Those who invade our Jiangdong territory will be swiftly and decisively defeated!!!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Quan immediately grew to love Xu Sheng even more.
Looking at Xu Sheng's size again, Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction.
With that physique, his fighting ability is probably not too low.
In Jiangdong, there are indeed not many generals with outstanding military skills.
Aside from the deceased Sun Ce, Zhou Tai was probably the strongest in terms of martial prowess alone.
Not convinced?
When it comes to resilience, Zhou Tai's ability to withstand blows is something he's trained for!
As everyone knows, Sun Quan was both incompetent and loved to play games.
Once the battle situation turns against us and the advantage is no longer in our hands, we are often the ones who suffer the most.
According to historical records, Zhou Tai took a total of sixty-seven blows for Sun Quan during his bodyguard career.
He was seriously injured eleven times!
But Zhou Tai didn't die; he was still alive and kicking!
On average, Zhou Tai has to undergo two surgeries every year.
Looking at the entire late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period, who could compare to this frequency?
Except for Zhou Tai, who is still in Jiangdong.
Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, who originally belonged to Jiangdong, both became Cao Cao's men and became high-ranking generals in Cao Cao's navy.
The remaining generals of Jiangdong, including several of the Twelve Tiger Generals of Jiangdong, were mostly only second-rate in terms of martial arts, or barely reached the first-rate level.
(This is just a rough estimate and may not be accurate; everyone has their own opinion. The author mainly referenced their relevant battle records in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, as well as some game settings from later generations.)
……
Sun Quan chatted with Guo Tu for nearly an hour, and he was overjoyed.
Guo Tu was not only eloquent, but also had unique insights into the general trend of the world!
For example, Sun Quan asked Guo Tu:
"Cao Cao's power is great, while Jiangdong's power is small. If Cao Cao marches south, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
Guo Tu answered passionately:
"Cao Cao's men are all landlubbers; the only thing worth worrying about is his navy."
"As long as General Sun can find a way to prevent that navy from participating in the battle, Jiangdong will surely win!"
"In other words, General Sun need not worry; the enemy is only Cao Cao's naval force."
"And the number of my Jiangdong navy is far greater than that of Cao Cao's camp."
"The size of the navy is about four times that of Cao Cao's camp."
"Four times to one, the advantage is in my hands!"
Sun Quan was completely bewildered by Guo Tu's words.
A strange sense of confidence welled up within me!
Who can say that Guo Tu's analysis is wrong?
That makes so much sense, damn it!
Who wouldn't like such a "god-level strategist"?
Sun Quan's confidence surged immediately.
of course.
We still need to investigate Guo Tu's background.
However, Guo Tu and Xu Sheng came to Jiangdong under assumed names this time, without even bringing any attendants.
Xu Sheng himself even took on the role of a boatman.
In addition, Chen Deng also helped them forge their original identities in Cao Cao's camp.
Therefore, a month later, Sun Quan's spies only brought back information that Guo Yu and Xu Shen were both "veteran anti-Cao Cao figures"!
Sun Quan was greatly relieved to confirm that the two were not spies.
He held banquets for several days in a row to entertain Guo Tu and Xu Sheng, and even granted them official titles.
Like Ling Tong, Xu Sheng became the captain of the river patrol team.
But this is only temporary. As long as he makes meritorious contributions, Xu Sheng can quickly become a mid-level or even high-level general in Jiangdong.
Guo Tu rose to prominence overnight, becoming Sun Quan's second-best advisor after Lu Su and Zhuge Jin!
Moreover, Guo Tu not only speaks eloquently, but he is also very eloquent.
Lu Su and Zhuge Jin were both kind-hearted people, and they quickly accepted Guo Tu.
Guo Tu participated in all important discussions.
Su Yu had given prior instructions.
Guo Tu didn't need to relay intelligence to Cao Cao's camp, as that would risk exposure.
Guo Tu's sole mission was to gain the trust of Sun Quan and the Jiangdong leadership as much as possible!
The day Guo Tu, the ultimate undercover agent, is put into service will be the countdown to the destruction of Jiangdong!
