When he met Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao was still more than 100 miles away from Chengdu.

In just over a hundred miles, he did not walk comfortably.

Along the way, Lu Xun instilled in him the idea that weak people are not qualified to talk about conditions.

Zhang Zhao wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Lu Xun's words are really not very good, but every sentence is very reasonable.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, which is a wise saying.

No matter whether a country or a person, if they are too weak, they will not be valued by others in this world at all.

The weak are not valued and can do only two things.

One is to work hard, gradually make yourself stronger, and no longer be despised by anyone.

But today's Jiaozhou, although they want to work hard, no one will give them a chance.

Cao Shuo's personality, Zhang Zhao still has some understanding.

Although he never slaughtered cities and rarely slaughtered captives, he was not merciful to his enemies.

Damn it, he never stayed!

Sun Quan claimed that the emperor established the state of Wu, for Cao Shuo, he was already a figure that was not easy to control, and Cao Shuo would most likely get rid of him if he was a character like this.

The opportunity to work hard is not always available.

Second, if the weak want to survive, another way is to simply abandon themselves and rely on the strong from now on.

With a strong man as a backer, even if he provokes some relatively strong opponents, others will look at his backer's face and not bother with him.

In front of Jiaozhou, there is only the second possibility.

The final choice is to know that he is weak, but he still has to stand up to the strong, and in the end, he will face nothing more than being abused and exterminated by the strong.

has been an official in the Sun family for many years, and Zhang Zhao certainly refuses to see this happen.

Getting closer and closer to Chengdu, you can gradually see the city wall of Chengdu in the distance.

Lu Xun raised his hand and pointed to the city wall, and said to Zhang Zhao: "Zhang Gong, Chengdu is ahead." ”

"I've never been to Chengdu before." Zhang Zhao replied: "I have heard that Chengdu was built in the time of the Five Emperors, Shun cultivated the mountains, one year into a gathering, two years into a city, three years into Chengdu. ”

"Chengdu is a good place." Lu Xun said with a smile: "Although I haven't been here for too long, I feel that the people here live a very leisurely life. They are slow every day, not in a hurry like the Central Plains people. ”

"Slowly??" Zhang Zhao asked curiously, "What kind of slow method?" ”

"When you get to Chengdu, you know." Lu Xun replied: "The lord once said a word when he came here, it is indispensable to enter Shu. When you come to Shu when you are young, you will lose your fighting spirit by the leisure here. Because the life here is so comfortable, people want to fight, but they can't raise the interest in fighting. ”

"Anything else?" Zhang Zhao said in disbelief: "Liu Xuande has entered Shu, and the soldiers and horses in Yizhou are very strong. ”

"Of course the lord knows that Yizhou soldiers and horses are strong." Lu Xun said with a smile: "What he said is not much in Shu, but there are too many beautiful scenery and delicacies in Shu. If you're busy with all this all day, how can you have the mind to think about anything else? ”

"So, it won't be long before King Wei leaves here?" From Lu Xun's words, Zhang Zhao vaguely heard something.

"Not necessarily, it depends on who provokes us first." Lu Xun said: "The Central Plains has been fighting for many years, and most of the people in various places are struggling to make a living. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Central Plains, the alien race repeatedly sent troops to invade the territory. Every time the lord thinks of this, it is a heartache. What he wanted to do most was to end the Central Plains expedition as soon as possible and concentrate all his military forces together to deal with foreign races. ”

"I didn't expect King Wei to have such thoughts." What Lu Xun said made Zhang Zhao admire in his heart. “

After many years of fighting, the heroes of the Central Plains fought against each other, and I don't know how many sons died on the battlefield.

When the Central Plains was fighting against each other, the alien race took advantage of the situation.

They plundered grain, women and children, and brought women and children from the Central Plains to places where their own tribes lived and domesticated them into slavery.

The fate of the Central Plains people who were plundered by foreign races was extremely tragic.

Not only do they have to suffer humiliation from other races, they don't even know how long they will live, maybe one day, a foreign race will kill them on a whim!

"We have been fighting for so many years, and the people of the Central Plains have suffered too much." Lu Xun said to Zhang Zhao: "If Sun Zhongmou still plans to fight, the lord will definitely not leave him behind." What Sima Zhongda and Zhang Gong said has actually reached the ears of the lord. ”

"What did King Wei say?" When he came to Yizhou, Zhang Zhao hoped that Cao Shuo would be better spoken than Sima Yi, and that he could give Sun Quan a lot of benefits and prompt Jiaozhou to surrender, so he attached great importance to Cao Shuo's answer.

Lu Xun smiled slightly, and asked Zhang Zhao, "What does Zhang Gong think the Lord Guild says?" ”

"King Wei is a sensible person, he should give His Majesty a way to live." Zhang Zhao said: "As long as the King of Wei is willing to give His Majesty some benefits, I can return to Cangwu and persuade His Majesty to surrender." ”

"Benefits?" Lu Xun asked, "Isn't it good to keep Sun Zhongmou and his family alive?" ”

"What's the benefit?" Zhang Zhao said: "Your Majesty has the sincerity to serve the King of Wei, but he also gave up his family business. If he can't leave some inheritance, how will he face General Bo Fu in the future? ”

"General Bo Fu has been dead for many years, and the lord can't help but sigh when he mentions him." Lu Xun smiled slightly: "But the foundation laid by Sun Bofu still belongs to the people of the world." Since the lord will become the lord of the world, where to assign to whom, is it not up to him to have the final say? ”

Knowing that what Lu Xun said was reasonable, Zhang Zhao didn't know how to respond.

first met Sima Yi, and then met Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao had a feeling that these people under Cao Shuo were not very enthusiastic about Sun Quan's surrender.

They even felt that Sun Quan's surrender or not would have no impact on Great Wei.

Sima Yi and Guan Cheng attacked from one south and one north, no matter which side they were, they were not something that the Sun family in Jiaozhou could deal with.

The fall of Jiaozhou is only a matter of time......

"Zhang Gong's intentions, the lord has long known." Zhang Zhao didn't say anything more, but Lu Xun continued: "His willingness to see Zhang Gong is nothing more than compassion for the people in the world." If Sun Zhongmou doesn't want benefits, he will not only be able to save his life, but he will also be able to get an official position in the lord's Great Wei. If he is too greedy, I am afraid that the lord will not let him. ”

His face didn't look too good, but Zhang Zhao still didn't respond.

When the two of them were talking, they had already come to the Chengdu City Gate.

Lu Xun said to Zhang Zhao: "Zhang Gong, I have come to Chengdu, I have said a lot on the way, and when I meet the lord, I think Zhang Gong should know how to speak." ”

Zhang Zhao nodded silently, judging from the attitudes of Sima Yi and Lu Xun, he already felt that this peace talk would be very difficult.
