Chapter 118: Mission

Sun Quan, who was sitting at the top, showed a trace of sadness on his face, sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Lone also knows that the alliance with Shu is the best choice, but ......"

Seeing Sun Quan's embarrassed look, Lu Xun already had some guesses in his heart, and he was also a little helpless, but he said very calmly: "Is the king afraid that Shu is also hateful and has no sincerity, or does he think that Shu has other plans and has bad intentions?"

"Bo Yan! It's not that it's lonely and suspicious, it's really that the hatred between the two families is too great, and the estrangement between the two families has already existed, and Liu Bei can't afford to be sick because of this, so it can be said that we indirectly caused Liu Bei's death; Moreover, there are five tiger generals in Shu, three of whom died because of my Dongwu, who can let go of such hatred? I can't let go of the lonely poop! ”

Bei Tooth raised lightly, revealing a smile with a deep meaning, Lu Xun said: "Although the king's words are true, they are not true, the hatred between Wu and Shu is indeed great, but it can be reconciled, as long as there are enough common interests!" ”

He then continued: "As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, as long as they are driven by interests, friends can become enemies, and enemies can naturally become friends. ”

"If Shu has some strong enough strength at this moment, the minister can say without hesitation that Shu will not take long to send troops, but just no, now Shu is weak, Wei is sitting on the northern Kyushu, the strength is really strong, for its own safety, Shu must find a way to target Wei."

"As for hatred, Shu has an enmity with us, but there is no hatred with that Wei country, the king should know that when Cao Cao was alive, he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Liu Bei fought with him for most of his life, even when Liu Bei was the poorest, he also boasted of reviving the Han family, no matter how true or false it was, the hatred between the two was not low."

"Besides, the king should not forget that there is still Zhuge Liang in Shu, if he is there, Shuzhong will not easily come to attack, and in the past, Liu Bei was alive, famous for benevolence and righteousness, in order to avenge Guan Yu's revenge, he did not hesitate to pour the country's strength to commit a large-scale attack, Zhuge Liang couldn't stop it at that time, but now, His Majesty Shu is Liu Chan, how can he not listen to Zhuge Liang."

"Bo Yan, what should I do next? Immediately abandon all contact with Cao Pi and get close to Shu? If that's the case, then I'm too changeable, the first rat at both ends. "To be honest, Sun Quan actually wants to reconcile with Shu, and it would be best if he could restore the previous relationship, of course, he also knew that this was impossible, and all peace was an illusion driven by common interests.

"Don't you remember? Some time ago, Deng Zhi, the secretary of Shu State, was ordered to envoy. ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan's face was already a little angry, how could he forget the shame, although he also admired Deng Zhi's talent, but that guy actually dared to follow Zhuge Liang's tongue and fight Jiangdong Confucianism, which made Jiangdong lose face.

Lu Xun was not impatient, unhappy or angry, and said with a normal expression: "The king once promised that if Shu could resist Wei, the king would send a messenger to visit back to enhance the relationship between the two sides!" I wonder if the king remembers? ”

In fact, Sun Quan did not expect that Shu would be able to deal with the past crisis, even if their Eastern Wu side did not send troops to Eastern Wu, but there were still no less than 400,000 troops, and even the spies had reported to work, Cao Zhen was not 100,000 all the way, but 150,000 troops, this is all the mobile troops of the entire Yongliang, and the rest are the soldiers who defend the city.

Speaking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help asking: "Bo Yan, if my Dongwu encounters such a great change, can you take me Dongwu through the difficulties?" ”

Lu Xun was silent for a moment, and Fang said lightly: "Your lord, if there is really such a difficulty, the minister is only fifty percent sure at most, and he still has to rely on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River moat." ”

Then he seemed to add: "Even if you can get through the difficulties, the loss is far from being like that of Shu." ”

"Why? Although Zhuge Liang is strong, you are not weak! He Zhuge Liang led Shu through several crises, and you Lu Boyan also led me Dongwu through several crises, in Lone's opinion, you are not as talented as Zhuge Liang! ”

"The king is serious, the king knows that Shu can survive this crisis, what does it rely on? It is the hearts of the people, the control of the hearts of the people, the 450,000 army against the 100,000 army in Shuzhong, and they were defeated, this is no longer a one-sided gap. ”

"The biggest reason is that the four-way army is not led by one person, and if it is led by one person, even if it loses, it will not be so ridiculous."

"It is precisely because the four-way army is divided into four directions, except for Cao Zhen and the other three roads of the four commanders, are driven by greed, and at the same time they are unwilling to pay too much price, once they encounter some resistance, they will sprout the intention of retreating, it seems that the army of 300,000 can retreat with one blow."

"And what really makes the minister curious is the reason for Cao Zhen's retreat, in fact, even if the other three roads are blocked, but as long as Cao Zhen captures Yangping all the way, and then approaches Hanzhong, Hanzhong is undefinable, and then the other three roads are afraid that they will also rush up again, and then Shu is really weak to return to the sky."

"Cao Zhen already has an advantage by virtue of his numerical advantage, but he has to withdraw his troops at this juncture, the reason is that Luoyang in the rear has changed, and the minister feels that the affairs of Luoyang are inseparable from Zhuge Liang." Lu Xun's eyes were cold, and he looked straight to the west.

"The general will be outside, the king's order is not affected, Cao Zhen can take Yangping and then go back to ask for guilt, compared to Cao Pi, he will not be blamed, on the contrary, he will be rewarded." Sun Quan said.

Hearing this, Lu Xun sneered a little in his heart, it was okay at the time, and the representative will not pursue it in the future? Emperor's heart, once the seeds of estrangement are planted, it won't take long for them to be watered and grow by suspicion.

"King, now that Shu has survived the crisis, it is meaningless to dwell on these, for the sake of today's plan, the minister suggests liaising with Shu as soon as possible and establishing an alliance to prevent Wei from attacking!"

"Envoy?" Sun Quan seemed to be a little emotional.

"That's right! Send someone to Shu to re-promote the Sun-Liu alliance! Lu Xun said firmly.

Soochow is subject to Jiangdong, and it is difficult to conquer the world, so it will build an iron bucket-like defense and defend the foundation for a lifetime!

"In your opinion, who should be sent?" At this time, Sun Quan and Lu Xun were in a period of enthusiasm, and the good relationship between the two was even more envious, jealous and hateful.

"Fuyi Zhonglang will be Zhang Wen!"

After thinking for a while, Sun Quan responded: "Zhang Yun's son? ”

"That's right!"

"This person is too young, and sending him as an envoy has not been spared the embarrassment of Zhuge Liang and other ministers, and he has lost face!" Speaking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but think of Shu, first Zhuge Liang, and then Deng Zhi, it seems that there is no shortage of talents in Shu, of course, it refers to now, in a few years, when this group of Shu ministers dies, maybe Sun Quan will not be so envious and said.
