People who are in a cage are chic and free, and those who are above the temple are like sitting on pins and needles.

At this moment, Sun Quan was frowning and staring at these civil and military ministers under the seat, they were taking turns to circulate Cao Ying's handwritten letter, from Zhang Zhao to Yu Translation, from Yu Translation to Bu Qi, everyone was frightened after reading this letter.

The reason is very simple, Cao Ying's letter is too domineering: those who are close to him are punished, and Liu Cong is restrained. There are 800,000 people in the Imabari water army, and Fang and the general will hunt and Wu.

is only a few words, and the writing is elegant and smooth, but it exudes an aggressive overlord atmosphere.

The meaning is also very simple: I, Cao Ying, brought an army of 800,000 to your Sun Quan's nest to hunt, if the kid knows each other, he will follow Liu Cong's example and surrender quickly, otherwise, hum!

Sun Quan summoned the important ministers and showed them the letter, expecting that they would be angry at Cao Ying's contempt, but unfortunately, most of the civil and military generals present were not very angry, and most of them were frightened and did not know what to do.

The scene where someone stood up and scolded Cao for being rude and daring to defy my lord did not happen, which made Sun Quan's already unhappy mood even worse, he glanced at everyone sullenly, and said: "Cao Ying is so arrogant, what do you think?" ”

No one responded, the government hall was silent, and everyone looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, as if they were thinking but didn't dare to say it.

Sun Quan was more and more displeased, shook his head secretly, and had to move his gaze to the old man closest to him, and smiled reluctantly: "Zibu is resourceful, is there any good plan?" ”

Sun Quan's mouth of this "Zibu", is the first minister in Jiangdong Zhang Zhao, this person since childhood well-read, when he was young by the famous Wang Lang, Chen Lin and so on appreciated, and then joined Sun Ce, in the history of Sun's fortune played a pivotal role, to Sun Ce before his death, awarded him to support the orphan.

In Sun Quan's eyes, this Zhang Zibu has always been an elder who is strong-spoken, righteous and full of fighting spirit, and may come up with some positive strategies.

Zhang Zhao coughed a few times, walked out of the class slowly, and said, "This Cao Gong, that's a tiger and wolf." coerced the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and Yuan Shaozhi was strong back then, but he was defeated by his men. Moreover, the biggest advantage that the general can fight against Cao Ying is the Yangtze River, but now Cao Ying has won Jingzhou, annexed Liu Biao's naval army and thousands of Mengchong fighting ships, so overwhelmingly along the Jiangdong, the Yangtze River has been shared with our Jiangdong. And my Jiangdong soldiers are not as many as him, they will not be as wide as them, and they will be in danger, so what can I use to fight him? ”

The fifty-two-year-old Jiangdong old minister made Sun Quan very discouraged as soon as he opened his mouth, and the blue-eyed lord said silently: "In Zibu's opinion, how should I be alone." ”

Zhang Zhao paused for a long time, and between his eyebrows, he seemed to be struggling in pain, but in the end, he sighed and said: "At this point, there is no other way, only to surrender to Cao Gong is the best strategy." ”

Sun Quan's expression changed immediately, and he did not respond, and turned to the ministers: "What about you, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Zhao has already spoken, and the rest are not afraid of shooting the first bird, that Yu turned the second one and stood up, and said very sincerely: "Today, Cao Gong has a million soldiers, and there will be thousands of soldiers, and the dragon will look at the tiger, and you can level Jiangxia in an instant, Jiangxia is lost, and my Jiangdong portal will be opened, if I Jiangdong resists again, the catastrophe will not be far away. ”

As soon as Yu Fu said that, the step immediately persuaded: "Cao Gong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and my Jiangdong fought with the power of a state, and I would be regarded as a traitor by the people of the world. ”

After these three were persuaded to surrender, the remaining cadres such as Xue Zong and Lu Ji rose up to speak, all of them persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, and the military generals, although they were not persuaded to surrender, were all silent, as if they were frightened by Cao Ying's momentum, and hesitated between surrendering and not surrendering.

The persuasion of this cadre and Wenchen came one after another, and Sun Quan was only disappointed.

He was still smiling in front of Kong Ming before, and when he saw Cao Ying going south, he looked at the wind and fell, but he didn't want Kong Ming to just leave on the front foot, and the courtiers under his own hands on the back foot, and he also strongly persuaded him to surrender, Sun Quan was really ashamed in his heart.

Looking around at the courtiers who seemed to be loyal and claimed to be thinking about him, Sun Quan felt isolated for a while, but found that among all the civil servants, only Lu Su was silent.

"Let's discuss it again, and go to change your clothes first."

Sun Quan used the toilet as an excuse to escape from the lobby that suffocated him, and when he came out of the corridor, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lu Su also followed, and Sun Quan knew that he had something to say, so he took his hand and said: "Zijing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lu Su said indignantly: "I just listened coldly, and those people present were all just thinking about themselves, and they didn't think about the general at all. ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment and said: "The words of Zibu and others, although they are a little weak, are also afraid of Cao Ying's power, but Zijing said this." ”

Lu Su said: "Zhang Zhao, Buqi and many other ministers are all members of the Wuzhong clan, these people first from Wang Lang, Liu Miao and others, and then saw that Yuan Shu was strong, so they turned to support Yuan Shu. Later, when the Sun clan became stronger, these people changed their doors and were loyal to the general, so vacillating, they just wanted to protect the interests of their powerful family, as for who they were loyal to, it was not their concern at all. ”

Lu Su's words broke the mystery, and Sun Quan sighed: "I don't know that this section of Gu is not known, when the elder brother of Gu used force against the Wuzhong clan, seized its benefits, and took its power, these people rebelled constantly, and later changed their strategy to reuse and recognize their interests, and they turned to work." It's just that the momentum of the clan is intertwined and corrected, and it is really difficult to shake, and there is nothing to be done. ”

Lu Su continued: "Therefore, these people, even including Su, can surrender to Cao, if we surrender to Cao, Cao Ying will definitely not harm us, I Lu Su can return to his hometown safely and surrender, maybe he will be used by the imperial court, go out to ride, and there will be more officials to follow." Su can also make friends with the Shilin magnates, even if it is not good, it will not be a problem to get mixed up with the Assassin County in the end. As for you, general, have you ever thought about what kind of desolate treatment you will be after you surrender to Cao? ”

Sun Quan said with a grateful look on his face: "So those people's opinions are really disappointing to Lone. Now Mr. has analyzed the life and death of Lone clearly, but please teach Lone how to overwhelm the arrogance of those surrendering factions. ”

Lu Su pondered for a long time and said: "So far, only to summon Gongjin to come to discuss, looking at Jiangdong, only he can help the lord to subdue those people." ”
