Chapter 1874: Sun Quan's decision

"You ......" Zhang Zhao's face turned red, deep down in his heart, he still hoped that the Han could become strong, but in Lu Bu's body, not only the princes, but also Zhang Zhao, who was a courtier, also felt a strong threat.

If it goes on according to the current situation, Lu Bu's strength will become stronger and stronger, and when the time comes, look at the princes of the world, who can compare with Lu Bu, Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou, its intention is obvious, that is, after occupying Jingzhou, he has the strength to confront Lu Bu, and after Jiangdong surrendered to the Xudu court, the Jiangdong army and the Cao army will be united in one place, and the strength will reach more than 200,000, plus the soldiers and horses of Yizhou, more than 300,000 troops can be mobilized, and the terrain of Yizhou is dangerous. As long as Liu Bei dragged Lu Bu's army in Yizhou, the Jiangdong Army and Cao's army attacked Chang'an together, and maybe they could break Chang'an in one fell swoop.

Now the greatest threat to the Han family is Lu Bu, from these years of conquest, Zhang Zhao can feel Lu Bu's ambition, and at the same time, from the saint of the princes, he also feels restless, the princes in order to improve their own strength, the big fight, the minister is strong and the lord is weak, so that the dignity of the Han family is trampled on by the princes.

Of course, if Sun Ce ruled Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao would not have said these words, Sun Ce was a person with strong ambitions, after Sun Quan ruled Jiangdong, he showed more generosity, and relied on the literati under his rule, even if some words were inappropriate, Sun Quan did not blame.

"Don't quarrel, now Cao Cao has led the army into Xiangyang, the top priority is to defend Jingzhou, Cao Cao wants to seize Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is led by Brother Wang Jingzhou soldiers to capture, for which how many soldiers are buried in the battlefield, if this king directly surrenders to Cao Cao, how to explain to the dead soldiers, how to explain to Brother Wang and his father." Sun Quan said in a low voice, Zhang Zhao's words did surprise Sun Quan, originally thought that Zhang Zhao had assisted Jiangdong for many years and would consider the problem from Jiangdong's standpoint, but he didn't expect to stand on the side of the court, and now Sun Quan is the king of Wu in Jiangdong, if he can be called the king, who wants to be a prisoner of others.

Zhang Zhao was a little disappointed when he heard this, from Sun Quan's words, he felt Sun Quan's dissatisfaction with him, but Zhang Zhao obviously didn't care too much, what he wanted to see was a strong man, not a disintegrated man.

The Han Dynasty has experienced too much turmoil and needs to be stabilized, and Lu Bu, who occupies Chang'an, although his strength is strong, is not the one who revitalizes the Han Dynasty.

"Lord, although the Cao army is now gathered in Xiangyang, the governor of Zhou is leading 50,000 Jiangdong elites to enter Jiangxia, and the governor of Zhou can only resist the Cao army." Lu Su said, he doesn't want Sun Quan to take refuge in Cao Cao like this, this kind of thing, even if it is for any general in the army, he will not agree, Jiangdong can have today's achievements, that is how many soldiers have fought bloody battles on the battlefield to get it, just because the enemy army is strong and wants to take refuge, as for Cao Cao's loyalty, it is completely nonsense, after Liu Biao inherited the unification, Cao Cao had the slightest respect for the imperial court.

Cao Cao didn't want to be the king, but there were many courtiers under his rule who opposed him being the king, and now as long as the princes with military power in their hands, there are a few people who have the Han family in their hearts, and they are thinking more about how to get more benefits in this troubled world.

As for the alliance between the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army, even after breaking through Chang'an, Jiangdong will not want to get too many benefits, after all, the governance of the land is not close, so it is difficult for the Jiangdong Army to have more opportunities, and there is a world of difference between union and refuge, Sun Quan is the king of Wu, and he has the absolute right to speak in Jiangdong, even if this kind of thing is put on anyone, he will not easily choose to surrender, and no one is willing to give up the power in his hands, which also makes Lu Su look at Zhang Zhao with some doubts.

Whether it is Sun Ce or Sun Quan, they attach great importance to Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao has shown extraordinary talent in handling internal affairs, but he didn't expect an old courtier in Jiangdong to say such things in front of everyone.

After everyone dispersed, Sun Quan left Lu Su behind, and Cao Cao led 100,000 troops into Xiangyang, which did give Sun Quan a great deterrent.

"The rest of the people can take refuge in Cao Cao, but King Wu can't take refuge in Cao Cao, after I take refuge in Cao Cao, I can still be reused, and after King Wu takes refuge in Cao Cao, it is not only difficult to be reused, but also afraid of Cao Cao." Lu Su said: "The lord has Jiangdong County in his hands, the country is in danger and the people are attached, and Jingzhou has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by the governor of Zhou, so it is naturally not a problem to resist Cao's army." ”

Sun Quan said: "Zijing's words are true, and now Gongjin is fighting against the Cao army in Jiangxia, Zijing escorts grain and grass to the Jiangxia army." ”

Lu Su gave up, from Sun Quan's words, he felt his unease about Zhou Yu, mainly because Zhou Yu's prestige in the army was too high, he had followed Sun Ce to fight for many years, and in the matter of army scheduling, it was basically Zhou Yu who was in charge, and the generals in the army had great respect for Zhou Yu, which had an impact on Sun Quan's status to a certain extent.

However, now Jiangdong is at a critical moment, if it cannot successfully resist Cao's army, Jiangdong will inevitably fall into a dangerous situation, and Jingzhou is now an important part of Sun Quan's rule.

From Zhang Zhao's attitude, it can be seen that if the Jiangdong army can't achieve results on the battlefield in Jingzhou, what kind of reaction will the Jiangdong family have, among the Jiangdong family, there are many from the Central Plains, if they take refuge in the Xudu court, they can also be reused by virtue of the strength of the family, of course, if Sun Quan shows strong strength in this battle, they will still continue to assist Sun Quan.

In fact, Lu Su understands that the consideration of the Jiangdong family is from a long-term perspective, judging from the means that Lu Bu has shown over the years, its strength has been greatly improved, and after occupying Yizhou, Lu Bu's strength, even if the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army are united in one place, I am afraid it will be difficult to match.

"Although the King of Jin said that he led the troops to fight in Yizhou, but there were also a large number of soldiers and horses in Chang'an, the armies of Qingzhou and Jizhou still had the strength to fight, and the cavalry on the grassland could be mobilized at any time, even if the lord wanted to form an alliance with Cao Cao, it was not easy to shake Chang'an." Lu Su said.

Sun Quan nodded, he didn't understand these truths, and now Lu Bu has become a big trend, since Lu Bu eliminated Yuan Shao, his strength has stood at the top of the princes, and after the defeat of Huguan, the princes are too jealous of Lu Bu, and when facing Lu Bu, they can only make friends with good words, but dare not provoke.
