Chapter 386: The monarch and the minister are out of harmony

Sun Quan has never been so hesitant or embarrassed. Since the age of eighteen, he took over the foundation of his father and brother and took charge of Jiangdong. The text has Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin...... Wu has Huang Gai, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai...... Both civil and military have Zhou Yu. Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and a large group of people helped. Sun Quan only needs to choose one of the many strategies to implement.

Later, Sun Quan even developed a habit of listening to Lu Su if Zhang Zhao and Lu Su had differences, and Zhang Zhao and Lu Su both supported it to be implemented immediately! Zhang Zhao and Lu Su both opposed it and resolutely vetoed it. Zhang Zhao supported it, but Lu Su did not express his position, and he would consider it himself before implementing it......

Now that Zhou Yu has been dead for many years, Lu Su and Lu Meng are inseparable from the front line, and Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun have taken refuge in the enemy Liu Cong. Gu Yong was sullen, and Zhang Zhao didn't say a word! This made Sun Quan very embarrassed! The last resort is over! Watching the Wenwu leave, Sun Quan had a nameless fire from his heart straight into his head. But then he calmed down again. Because Zhang Zhao stayed!

Sun Quan was overjoyed! is worthy of being a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is still reliable at a critical time! I've ridiculed him many times before, but he doesn't care. Now that I'm staying, I must be patient to analyze the situation for me, and listen carefully to what he has to say this time. If it makes sense, you still have to accept it. Sun Quan made up his mind, straightened his body, and said very politely to Zhang Zhao, who was under him: "Sir, do you have something to say?" ”

"My lord, this is a big matter, please think twice! Yu turned the rumors to confuse the lord, and Zhao begged him to be imprisoned, and then sent an envoy to Jingzhou to reconcile with Liu Cong. Liu Cong asked for money, food, gold and silver treasures, and beauties promised them. In this way, Jiangdong can avoid the catastrophe! After Zhang Zhao saw that there was no one else, Sun Quan was much more respectful to himself, so he persuaded him.

It's just that when he said this, Sun Quan was unhappy again: "Sir, why are you so afraid? Even if the time is not ripe to become the king, I still have nearly 100,000 sailors in Jiangdong and countless fierce generals, are you afraid that Liu Cong will be so bullied? ? Although Sun Quan was prepared, this Zhang Zhao would definitely not agree to be the king, so Sun Quan thought of Gu Yong's method, pretending to be called on the surface, but he was not in office, first stabilized Liu Cong, blocked his attack, and then stepped up preparations, I believe that he can still compete with Liu Cong.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Zhao to say this, isn't this a tribute? So how will Jiangdong stand with Cao Cao and Liu Cong in the future? So the smile on Sun Quan's face disappeared before Zhang Zhao could say anything.

"The lord, Zijing set a three-point strategy for the lord, and Zhao was originally strongly opposed. It's just a mistake, current affairs are already like this, if you want to ensure the long-term peace and stability of my Jiangdong, you must be between Cao Cao and Liu Cong. There is no other reason, the three-legged stand, my Jiangdong region is the smallest, and the population is the smallest! On our own, it is impossible to win the war with either Cao Cao or Liu Cong. Just wait for the opportunity, and wait until the two strong fight to have a chance to have a chance when I wait for the opportunity to move...... Now Liu Cong is preparing to attack Jiangdong, and Cao Cao's army is still in Guanzhong, if the two reach a tacit understanding, one will take Hanzhong, and the other will take Jiangdong, then my Jiangdong will be in danger! ”

Zhang Zhao's words were originally a pragmatic policy of seeking truth from facts, according to the current strength of Jiangdong, he would definitely lose with Cao **, and he would not have the upper hand in a long-term battle with Liu Cong. In this case, it is better to meet the top two. In this way, no matter which one wants to annex Koto, the other will not sit idly by! This is the only way to maintain a delicate balance between the three legs. In fact, it boils down to a trick, procrastination! It is a victory to let Liu Cong send troops later! And at this time, the king is undoubtedly like a long life, stretching out his neck for people to cut off! In this way, Liu Cong has an excuse for the Eastern Crusade, and Cao Cao must be dissatisfied with Jiangdong's claim to be king, maybe he will really sit idly by!

If Zhang Zhao's method is followed, it may not be able to stop Liu Cong, but at least it will make the people of Jiangdong and Cao Cao sympathize and support the Sun regime. But Sun Quan was very unhappy, he thought that Zhang Zhao was too timid and afraid, when Cao Cao was still in Nanyang, to attack Jingzhou, this Zhang Zhao persuaded himself to send his son to Xuchang to please Cao Cao, one person alone, for Jiangdong to avoid disaster. At that time, Cao Cao was in the limelight, and Sun Quan only had a mere place in Yangzhou, so it was understandable that Zhang Zhao was so. Although Liu Cong's strength is stronger than Jiangdong, it is far less than Cao Cao's original. What's more, Sun Quan has an extra Jiaozhou in his hands, and he can send troops from the south to harass Jingzhou. Moreover, Cao Cao in the north has always been Liu Cong's fierce rival, and Liu Cong must not dare to raise his strength to attack, it is difficult to predict whether he wins or loses, how can he be so low-voiced?

Sun Quan made up his mind that he couldn't listen to Zhang Zhao, so he said lightly: "I'll talk about this later, sir, please go back!" ”

"......" Zhang Zhao originally prepared a lot of words, such as explaining the previous Lu Su's letters, such as how to befriend Cao Cao...... Seeing Sun Quan was already displeased, he issued an eviction order, so he had to leave stupidly.

After seeing Zhang Zhao leave, Sun Quan also swallowed, originally thought that Zhang Zhao had any good suggestions, or the old party posted it, but if you think about it carefully, how could this old stubborn be enlightened at one time? It seems that this matter can only be asked to Lu Su, who is far away in Chaisang. Immediately, Sun Quan sent messengers to rush to Chaisang.

Five days later, the messenger returned from Chaisang with Lu Su's own letter. Lu Su said in his letter to Sun Quan that he was ready to fight Liu Cong in Chaisang, and implored the lord to send one of Lü Meng and Cheng Pu to support Chaisang. Liu Cong's attack on Jiangdong is imperative, and his plan will not be postponed because of Jiangdong's decision...... Lu Su's reply to Sun Quan in this way is tantamount to directly rejecting Zhang Zhao's suggestion. This made Sun Quan finally a little happier, and when it came to the issue of being the king, Lu Su only mentioned it in passing, but emphasized the possibility of a three-legged alliance, and Lu Su originally built his hope on the basis of the Sun-Liu alliance. Now that Liu Cong wanted to annex Jiangdong, Lu Su also suggested that Sun Quan make friends with Cao Cao and send an envoy to Xuchang as soon as possible......

Although Lu Su did not directly say that Yu Tuo's method was topping, he basically agreed. After all, Liu Cong oppressed people with the imperial court, and there were not many ways to resist all the time, so he called the king self-reliant, and got rid of the Xiangyang court. Lu Su is now thinking about how to resist Liu Cong. He is different from Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan seized Jiangdong and called the king a matter of time or time, Yu Chuan said it was good, Sun Quan also had this intention, he had nothing to oppose! Besides, at the moment of the great enemy, Lu Su thought that his lord would definitely put all his mind on meeting the enemy, and calling the king was just a declaration to Jingzhou, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until the end of the war to really claim the king.

Then Sun Quan successively received letters from Lu Meng, Cheng Pu and others, all of whom supported Sun Quan and resolutely fought a decisive battle with Liu Cong, and asked for battle one after another, declaring that they were confident that they would not lose an inch of Jiangdong!

The generals' statements were tantamount to giving Sun Quan a reassurance. Immediately, he summoned his ministers again and announced his decision: to establish himself as the king of Wu! In this way, Liu Cong's edict is equivalent to a piece of waste paper!

Zhang Zhao's lungs were about to explode when he heard this. What he was afraid of still happened. Zhang Zhao first wrote a letter to reprimand Lu Su, Lü Meng and others for not preventing Sun Quan from becoming king. Subsequently, he privately asked Sun Quan many times in private, hoping that he could dispel the idea of becoming king. However, Sun Quan had already made up his mind, and he couldn't listen to it at all. Sun Quan argued with him repeatedly, and Zhang Zhao's advice became more and more earnest.

In the end, Sun Quan even went crazy, grabbed the knife and said angrily: "The scholars of Wu Kingdom worship me when they enter the court, and worship you when they go down to the court, my respect for you has reached the extreme, but you have humiliated me in the crowd several times, and I am afraid of making a mistake (and hurting you)." "Sun Quan, that means, I'm really worried that when I can't help but chop you with a knife!

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan for a long time before saying: "Although Zhao knows that his opinions will not be heard, the reason why he wants to do his best every time is because when the ancestor was about to collapse, he called the old minister under the bed, and the words of the edict are still in his ears." After saying that, he sobbed. Sun Quan also remembered the past, and then thought about his attitude towards Zhang Zhao in the past, and also felt ashamed in his heart, so he threw a knife on the ground and cried with Zhang Zhao.

Seeing that Sun Quan still had such respect for himself in his heart, Zhang Zhao's heart was finally relieved, in his opinion, Sun Quan was still young, and as long as time passed, he would definitely pay attention to himself. But unexpectedly, a few days later, Sun Quan still decided to be the king!

Zhang Zhao resented that his words were not accepted, so he retired as old and infirm. Over there, Sun Quan refused to let go, plus Yu turned aside to fan the flames, and in anger, Sun Quan made a decision like a child! sent many soldiers to reward Zhang Zhao's door, Sun Quan was even more present at the scene, and kicked a few times on the mound when he left: "Old and frail, you don't have to go out in the future!" ”

The people of Zhang's house, who were watching the excitement through the crack in the door, couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to tell Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao was not angry, but ordered the housekeeper to lead people to seal the door from the inside with earth. That means he's never going to go out either. These two people were like this, so that the civil and military officials of Wu County had nothing to do, and they all asked for help from Lusu, who was far away in Chaisang.

Lu Su was also shocked when he heard this! Although his strategy is different from that of Zhang Zhao, he knows Zhang Zhao's personality best, and Zhang Zhao is talented but also very loyal. The loss of Zhang Zhao was a huge loss for Jiangdong. And Sun Quan's behavior will also chill the hearts of other scholars. Lu Su hurriedly wrote back to Sun Quan, persuading the two to reconcile, and sent someone to Lü Meng's station, hoping that he would return to Wu County and persuade the lord to do a good job!

Lu Meng had already received an order to lead his troops to Chaisang, but he was also shocked when he heard about it. rushed back to Wu County overnight to meet Sun Quan.

"Lord, Mr. Zibu is an important minister of my Jiangdong, it is inappropriate for the lord to be so afraid......" Lu Meng didn't dare to say more, but Lu Su has a trust, this is also about Jiangdong, and I have to say it! This Lu Meng and Sun Quan are of the same age, and when he was young, he attached himself to his brother-in-law Deng Dang and followed Sun Ce as a general. With courage, he was tired of sealing Sima of other departments. After Sun Quan became unified, he was gradually reused, and he was named the general of Yokono Zhonglang. And in the number of imperial Cao troops, he repeatedly offered strange tricks, and paid tribute to the Lujiang Taishou.

Sun Quan admired Lu Meng's bravery, so he was very polite to him, and he had received a letter from Lu Su before, and he began to regret it, no matter what Zhang Zhao said or did, it was also for the sake of his family's territory. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to treat an old minister of the Three Dynasties like this.
