"What do you mean?" Sun Quan is puzzled.
Zhang Zhao said, "You killed Guan Gong and his son. Guan Gong is Liu Bei's sworn brother, who swore to live and die together. Now Liu Bei has soldiers from Sichuan and Sichuan provinces, but also relies on Zhuge Liang's strategy and the bravery and advancement of generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. Once Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu and his son had been killed, he would turn against each other and strive for revenge. I'm afraid Wu Dong is hard to resist! "
Sun Quan suddenly realized and stamped his feet repeatedly in utter amazement: "Oh, I made a big mistake! But it's no use crying over spilled milk. What should I do? "
Zhang Zhao said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan to turn the corner." Then described the content of this plan in detail: "Now, Cao Cao has a million troops, eyeing China. If Liu Bei wants revenge, he must make peace with Cao Cao. If two allied soldiers come, we will be in danger! So we can send someone to give Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao first, so as to clearly show that Cao Cao ordered us to capture and kill Guan Yu. In this way, Liu Bei will hate Cao Cao, and the soldiers in West Shu will not attack us, but attack Cao Cao. We will sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, and then learn from them. This is the best policy. "
Sun Quan agreed to Zhang Zhao's plan and immediately sent an emissary to send Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao in a wooden box.
Not long ago, Guan Yu drove seven armies, and Cao Cao was very unhappy. When he saw Guan Yu's head sent to him, he felt that he was out of great trouble. He is very happy. "Yun Chang is dead, and I can finally have a good sleep!"
Cao Cao's voice did not fall, and the next man stood up and shouted, "This is a trick that Wu Dong set us up!"
When Cao Cao looked intently, it turned out to be Sima Yi, the main book. Ask him why he said that.
"When Liu, Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became sworn, they vowed to live and die together. Now Wu Dong killed Guan Yu for fear of Liu Bei's revenge, so I gave you Guan Yu's head to make Liu Bei angry with us, stop attacking Wu Dong and settle accounts with us. Dongwu wants to take advantage of the fisherman when we and Liu Bei both lose! "
Cao Cao patted his forehead: "You are right. What should I do? "
Sima Yi offered a plan: "This is easy to handle. The king can match Guan Yu's head with a wood carving and then give him a grand burial as a minister. In this way, Liu Bei will not hate us, but will only hate Wu Dong and try his best to explore the East. But we can see the victory or defeat: if Liu Bei wins, he will attack Dongwu, and if Dongwu wins, he will destroy Liu Bei with Dongwu. As long as one of the two places is destroyed by us, the rest will not exist for a long time. " Cao Cao was overjoyed. Immediately summoned Wu Dong's envoys, accepted the affairs box, and ordered craftsmen to quickly carve a fragrant wood body to match Guan Yu's head. After everything was ready, Cao Cao led hundreds of civil and military officials to make a big sacrifice and gave Guan Yu a grand funeral as a vassal. Cao Cao also personally paid homage to the spirit, posthumously awarded Guan Yu as King Jing, and sent special personnel to guard Guan Yu's tomb for a long time. This kind of funeral is unique in Wei; With Cao Cao's identity and personality, the respect and admiration for Guan can be said to be beyond measure.
Hearing this, Liu Bei really only hated Wu Dong and vowed to pour out the country and fight against Wu Dong.
