Chapter 384

When Liu Shang arrived in Nanchang, Sun Quan also received an edict. Sun Quan was completely enraged this time! If the rumors of the death of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in the previous months had already made Sun Quan a little depressed, Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun calmly left Yangzhou to join Liu Cong, which made Sun Quan a little crazy. In Sun Quan's opinion, Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun are talented, but he is the lord and can not reuse them, but if Liu Cong is cheaper, these two will become a threat to Zhongda. First of all, they are very familiar with Yangzhou, and they have an understanding of Yangzhou's household registration and troop deployment. The two are also quite famous in Jiangdong, and they pose an immeasurable threat to shake the hearts of the Jiangdong army. And the two of them didn't meet in Jiangdong, so they must have redoubled their efforts when they arrived in Xiangyang!

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! After Sun Quan received the edict again, he immediately convened the civil and military officials in Wu County to discuss, and when he saw the edict again, Sun Quan was furious. He slammed the edict to the ground and looked at a group of officials angrily.

Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, who were sitting at the bottom, also looked innocent. This Liu Cong and the two of them were all calculated. They have the heart to avenge their grievances, but they dare not say more. Especially Zhang Zhao, the last time he got a letter written by Liu Ye to Lu Su and handed it to Sun Quan. Sun Quan wanted to punish Lu Su in a small way based on the principle of preferring to believe in what he had, so he transferred him from the Hefei front line to the Chaisang camp. and Lu Meng and Cheng Pu took over the defense. Afterwards, Sun Quan also showed remorse, but fortunately, Lu Su already knew his lord's temper. In Sun Quan's view, Zhang Zhao is undoubtedly a villain who is outright troublemaker, trying to separate himself from Lu Su, and then get reused.

The departure of Zhuge Jin and Lu Su made Sun Quan's suspicions even more serious. This time it's good, the edict states that Zhang Zhaowei is the assassin of Yangzhou, and Gu Yong is the guard of Huiji County...... Sun Quan's first feeling was that this Zhang Zhao was unreliable! At the beginning, he persuaded himself several times to send his son to Xuchang in exchange for the trust of the imperial court. This time, the Xiangyang Imperial Court still trusts him very much!

Just as everyone in the hall was silent about Sun Quan's anger, a herald hurried in and handed Sun Quan a letter. Sun Quan almost died of anger on the spot. It turned out that it was sent by Lu Su six hundred miles in an urgent manner. Lu Su mentioned in his heart that Liu Shang, the son of Liu Xuan, held the edict in his hand, entered from Changsha, and after entering Yuzhang, the people along the way welcomed him, and there were even wealthy families who set up a banquet to entertain Liu Shang and his entourage. This Liu Shang is also not a good person, all the way up to such a big movement, after arriving in Nanchang, he blatantly gathered the crowd to make trouble, and then entered the Taishou Mansion in a big way.

Fortunately, this Yuzhang is too punctual and Lu Su is a slut, otherwise if Yuzhang is too conservative in Nanchang and is kicked out by Liu Shang, it will become a joke. Although Lu Su had already sent Xu Sheng to Nanchang to control the situation. But now most of the people in Nanchang City already know that Liu Shang is coming. Therefore, Lu Su was in a dilemma, and wrote to Sun Quan to make a decision.

"This Zi Jing is still too kind, and he should make a decision for this kind of chicken and dog thief!" Sun Quan's anger could not be increased. After reading the letter, he slammed his fist on the desk in front of his chest: "Someone! Ordered Lu Dudu to publicly execute that Liu Shang! ”

Zhang Zhaohe and his vassals and others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then looked at the letter that was pressed under Sun Quan's fist, presumably it was sent by Lu Su. Human life is at stake, Zhang Zhao didn't care about the embarrassment, stood up and asked Sun Quan, "Lord, what happened?" ”

"See for yourselves!" Sun Quan was also not angry, and casually threw Lu Su's letter to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao took the letter and quickly skimmed it, then handed it to Gu Yong, and then turned to Sun Quan and said, "The lord is angry, this is Liu Cong's strategy. The lord must not be angry with others because of Liu Cong's so-called edict. That Liu Shang's father, Liu Xuan, was the former Yangzhou assassin history, and he was quite prestigious in Yuzhang. If the lord executed him at this time, it happened to fall into Liu Cong's scheme, and the lord became a wicked person for no reason, and the people may have a complaint in their hearts. ”

"So what do you say you should do?" Impulsive, impulsive, angry and angry, waiting for Zhang Zhao's slow and logical analysis, Sun Quan also knew that Liu Cong didn't care about Liu Shang's life at all, killing a Liu Shang at this time could not stop the invasion of Liu Cong's army at all, on the contrary, the local people would only think that they were disrespectful and killed celebrities! But it is not Sun Quan's wish to let Liu Shang go and let him continue to be free in Nanchang.

"Lord, Zibu is right! This son can't be killed! At this time, Gu Yong had also finished reading Lu Su's letter, and combined with the previous edict from the imperial court to Sun Quan, it was not difficult to understand that this was a continuation of Liu Cong's strategy, one ring after another. Things have been messed up again in Jiangdong this time, but we can't make mistakes in the chaos anymore!

"Yes, my lord, you can first take Liu Shang into custody for the crime of forging documents. Let's see Liu Cong's comprehensive reaction! If Liu Cong's army comes to attack, he can use Liu Shang's life as a threat. If Liu Cong doesn't come, or wait for our army to repel Liu Cong's attack, then expel him to Yangzhou! Zhang Zhao glanced at Gu Yong gratefully, and then persuaded Sun Quan to arrive.

The names of Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong are listed in this imperial edict, but the situation of Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong is completely different. Zhang Zhao made great contributions to Jiangdong before Sun Quan took power, the so-called high merit shocked the master, and after Sun Quan took power, he was also afraid that Zhang Zhao would bully him when he was young, so he deliberately snubbed him. And not long after Gu Yong was appointed as the county leader of Huiji, Sun Ce died. This Sun Quan quickly transferred Gu Yong to his side, if Gu Yong has contributed a lot to Jiangdong over the years, it is also Sun Quan's insight. Lu Su. When Lu Meng, Cheng Pu and others are not in Wu County, this Gu Yong's identity is even more special, and he is also the only person who can influence Sun Quan's decision. Therefore, Zhang Zhao is very grateful to Gu Yong for standing up and supporting him at this time.

"Yuan sigh, what do you think?" Sun Quan's gaze crossed Zhang Zhao and fell on Gu Yong, it was not that Sun Quan didn't trust Zhang Zhao. But for so many years, Sun Quan has maintained such a habit of accidents. What advice does Zhang Zhao have over there, no matter how good it is, he always has to symbolically ask others, Zijing, what do you think? Ziming, what do you think? Always waited for the support of others before Sun Quan came back to Zhang Zhao to explain the details. If it were Lu Su, it would have been Lu Su. What strategy does Lu Meng and the others have, even if Zhang Zhao tries his best to oppose it, it is useless! This time is no exception.

Zhang Zhao has long been used to it after so many years. So he naturally followed Sun Quan's gaze and turned to Gu Yong again.

I saw Gu Yong straighten up, clear his throat and say, "Lord, these are Liu Cong's tricks, since we already know it, we must deal with it." Yong thinks that the Lord can be called! ”

"Edict?" Sun Quan was stunned.

"Yes, I was edicted and did not take office! The lord can send one or two subordinate officials to Xiangyang to do the affairs of the Taiwei, while he continues to stay in Jiangdong, as for the other officials, I believe that Zibu will obey the lord whether it is the history of Yangzhou or the military general. Yong naturally has no exceptions. And Yu Zhang is already under Zijing's control, and one more Liu Shang can't set off any big waves. In this way, the lord can avoid Liu Cong's sudden attack, and at the same time actively prepare for war, while sending people to Xuchang to reconcile with Cao Cao! The three-legged trend is difficult for Liu Cong to change in a short period of time. After a long time, it will naturally come to an end. The lord is still the overlord of Jiangdong......"

There is a precedent for this Gu Yong to propose to serve the edict and not take office, in this era of turmoil and strife, Liu Miao and others were once named central officials and could not be reached due to the obstruction of the road.

Seeing Gu Yong gushing, Sun Quan's face began to soften, but Zhang Zhao became uneasy again. Afraid that Sun Quan would ask him again, he lowered his head and began to think about what to do this time. He was known to be a moderate advocate of reunification. Gu Yong's move is in the same vein as Lu Su's secession strategy, and Sun Quan will definitely use it when he hears it. However, Zhang Zhao was not easy to object, first of all, he did not say whether Sun Quan accepted his point of view. In terms of Liu Cong's strength alone, Zhang Zhao also thinks that Liu Cong is a bit in a hurry. It is true that Zhang Zhao is a unification faction, but it does not mean that he must surrender when he sees anyone attacking!

When Cao Cao supported the Son of Heaven, Zhang Zhao advocated being a vassal to the Xuchang court. After all, Cao Cao had already agreed to the north, and Liu Zhang, Liu Cong, and Sun Quan in the south each divided a state, but it was the easiest for Cao Cao to break through. Therefore, in order to save the people of Jiangdong from the flames of war, Zhang Zhao proposed that Sun Quan send protons to Cao Cao. Of course, in the end, Sun Quan did not have MMS, and the second brother listened to the opinions of Zhou Yu and Lu Su and others. Especially Lu Su, after Zhou Yu's death, he revised the Jiangdong strategy in time, changing Zhou Yu's two-way world to a three-legged stand, which became very realistic.

Although Liu Cong has now annexed Yizhou and established the Son of Heaven, Zhang Zhao does not think that he is strong enough to unify China. Of course, Zhang Zhao didn't want to see Liu Cong raise troops to attack Jiangdong, no matter what the outcome was, it was the people who suffered. In addition, how could Belle be trusted by Sun Quan, so he chose to keep his mouth shut! It can be regarded as a wise self-preservation. Of course, I also want to see the attitude of Sun Quan and other officials before discussing it.

It's just that Zhang Zhao was so quiet, Sun Quan was not used to it, he was going to kill Liu Shang, and Zhang Zhao was the first to stand up against it, which was expected by Sun Quan. This old guy doesn't know how many times, it's all like this. Of course, Sun Quan only said in anger that he wanted to behead Liu Shang, and after Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong's persuasion, he calmed down, originally thinking that he would sit in the hall and watch Zhang Zhao debate with everyone, so as to provide reference for his decision-making. In the past, regardless of whether Sun Quan adopted Zhang Zhao's opinion or not, many risks could always be avoided from Zhang Zhao's debate.

Of course, it became a habit for Zhang Zhao to talk endlessly, and then Sun Quan finally refused to adopt it! Sun Quan felt that it was very enjoyable, which could not only blow the prestige of this old courtier, but also deal with things. Zhang Zhao's sudden silence made Sun Quan's suspicion again, this Liu Cong named Zhang Zhao to be the assassin of Yangzhou, could it be that he contacted Liu Cong? This thought flashed in Sun Quan's mind, and then he denied it. He knew that Zhang Zhao was a person, and he was definitely not the kind of guy who betrayed his boss in private to seek glory. Even if Zhang Zhao wants to submit to Liu Cong, he will definitely explain his views in the hall clearly and honestly.

But this guy is really quiet! Just stop yourself and don't kill Liu Shang, so what's next? Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao very puzzled. Other civil and military officials also followed Sun Quan's gaze and focused on Zhang Zhao. Different from Sun Quan's thoughts, Zhang Zhao can be said to be a veteran in handling government affairs in Jiangdong over the years. So what they hope is that Zhang Zhao can provide a plan for everyone to discuss. Obviously this time they were going to be disappointed. Because Zhang Zhao didn't seem to see everyone's eyes, listening to Gu Yong's analysis, Zhang Zhao sat there like an old monk!

Gu Yongyan also habitually glanced at Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao still didn't react. Gu Yong had no choice but to give up. At this time, Sun Quan had no choice but to look away and look for answers in other civil and military officials! The other officials all learned from Zhang Zhao and were silent. Sun Quan had no choice but to name him.

"Zhong Xiang, what do you think?"
