Chapter 064: The Ministers of the General Assembly
Cao Cao's threatening letter, which was not a threatening letter, stirred up a thousand layers between the civil and military forces of Eastern Wu. Sun Quan's ministers gathered in the Zhaoyang Hall to discuss how to deal with it.
The ministers sat in columns, looked at the mouth with their noses and mouths, and looked at their hearts with their mouths, silently! There was silence in the hall, and this scene was very strange. Everyone held each other for a few minutes, and Sun Quan really couldn't stand it! These grandsons don't speak when it's critical! What are you doing with me?
"Ahem, ahem! Kindness! Ladies and gentlemen, what did Cao Cao mean by sending us this letter? Let me know what you think! ”
"My lord! After Cao Cao pacified the north, he mobilized 30,000 migrant workers to dig the lake in Yecheng to train the navy, but after Liu Cong surrendered, he still ordered people to build ships upstream, and now he personally led the army to besiege Jiangxia but asked people to send us such a letter, don't you want to take Jiangdong, will there be other meaning? Only then did everyone raise their heads and look at each other, but the speaker was Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao, the word Zibu. A native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhao, like many northern scholars, moved his family south to Yangzhou to escape the war. At that time, at the beginning of Sun Ce's business, under the recommendation of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan personally came to ask Zhang Zhao to be his long history and a general in the army. and entrusted the civil and military affairs in his army to Zhang Zhao, who relied on him very much. Zhang Zhao was talented, resourceful, and assisted Sun Ce in governing the army, and played an important role in Sun Ce's rise to Jiangdong.
Before Sun Ce died, he entrusted his younger brother Sun Quan to Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao led his ministers to assist Sun Quan. Sun Quan was able to take over smoothly, and Zhang Zhao played a key role. Therefore, after Sun Quan took over the throne, he trusted Zhang Zhao more and relied on him as the pillar of the country.
At this time, Zhang Zhao was the first to stand up, and it seemed that he had a strategy to retreat from the enemy! Sun Quan's heart is a little at ease!
"Since Cao Cao has the heart to take Jiangdong, what should we do?" Sun Quan was full of hope that Zhang Zhaoneng, like in the past, would solve problems for him and come up with a clever plan to retreat from the enemy. But I didn't expect it......
"Lord, Cao Cao has millions of soldiers, and he is holding the name of the Son of Heaven hostage, and it is not right for us to confront it! It's better to return to obedience for the time being, and plan later! "Zhang Zhao, as the head of the ministers and the minister of Tuogu, his attitude towards how to deal with this important matter related to the life and death of Dongwu has a decisive influence on the ministers! But Sun Quan didn't expect that this guy would actually advocate surrender.
Sun Quan hates this in his heart! You're not ashamed of being an old man, and you're still a fucking minister! You're just a coward! He actually said such a thing at a critical time. Sun Quan was thinking about it in his heart! Another grandson stepped forward.
"Lord, Zhang Zibu is right! What we Jiangdong can rely on to confront Cao Gong is just the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Now that Cao Gong has captured Jingzhou, the Yangtze River is already shared with us! Cao Jun has more than 100,000 land and water troops, and they can reach Chaisang in a few days down the river. I don't think it's better to fall early! I saw that this person was white-faced and beardless, and he looked like he was in his twenties. Sun Quan fixed his eyes, but it was Lu Ji, and his feelings were that this grandson also advocated surrender! It's also a talent in Koto! Phew!
Lu Ji, the word Gongji, a native of Wu County, Wu County (now Suzhou), the son of Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang in the late Han Dynasty, and the uncle of Lu Xun, a famous general of Eastern Wu. Lu Ji was born in the Wu clan of Wu County, Jiangdong, and belonged to the leader of the Jiangdong clan. When he was young, he was very intelligent and had the name of "prodigy". After Lu Ji became an adult, he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, proficient in astronomy, calendrical calculations, and ephemeris arithmetic. Sun Ce went south, and Lu Ji surrendered and became the youngest strategist of Sun Ce's subordinates. After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan enlisted him as Cao Peng, and often saw him with a straight path. According to historical records, this guy was good at Zhou Yi and once deduced the unification of the world in the Western Jin Dynasty sixty years later. People at the time were amazed at their talent!
But whether this guy can really pinch it is only afraid that it may not be! Otherwise, why didn't this guy calculate that Dongwu has a hundred years of national fortune, and Sun Quan has the order of the emperor?
As soon as Lu Ji's words came out, the ministers under the rank persuaded him to surrender one after another. Sun Quan is so angry in his heart! You are a group of goods, you only think about yourself, and you don't think about Lao Tzu! But in fact, Sun Quan also muttered in his heart at this time, after all, Cao Cao has too many soldiers and horses! Millions! His subordinates will not exceed 100,000! How can this battle be fought! Moreover, the people of this era have a natural fear of the Central Plains regime, which is a sense of fear accumulated bit by bit over thousands of years. The strength of the Central Plains regime has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! So Cao Cao said a lot of things and insisted that his more than 200,000 people were millions, and no one doubted it! At this time, Sun Quan's heart was full of melancholy.
Listening to the noise in the room, I really don't want to listen to it anymore. I announced that today's meeting will be held here, and everyone will go back first! The crowd slowly retreated. Sun Quan turned into the inner room and said a few words to the servant beside him, who turned around and went out.
Sun Quan sat down in the inner room, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and took a sip of water. My mouth is still dry, and my heart is on fire! I just can't sit still. Sun Quan stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"When! While! While! There was a brief knock at the door.
"Come in!" Sun Quan returned to his seat and sat down seriously!
The servant just now walked in, "My lord, he is waiting outside the door!" ”
"Oh! Please come in yet! Sun Quan was overjoyed.
After a while, a middle-aged man pushed the door in. I saw that this person was crowned with a broad belt, with a majestic face, and there seemed to be some similarities between his appearance and Sun Quan.
The man stepped forward and knelt down: "The minister and grandson Jing pay tribute to the lord!" ”
Sun Quan hurriedly got up and helped the man up: "Oops! Third uncle, there are no outsiders here, why bother with this big gift? Hurry up, please take a seat! ”
Sun Jing sat down at this time, straightened her clothes, and said with a smile: "The great gift of the monarch and the minister, how can the dignity and humility be abolished?" Everyone before and after should be the same! ”
"Hehehe, uncle is really a humble gentleman!" Of the three Sun Jian brothers, only this Sun Jing is still alive today. It can be regarded as the highest ranking in the Sun family.
"The lord summoned his ministers to come down, but for Cao Cao's invitation to the lord's guild hunting?"
"He who knows my heart! Uncle too! This matter is related to the future of our Sun family, and my uncle is now the highest ranking in the Sun family! What are your thoughts? ”
"My lord! Let's be honest! His Majesty is also very distressed about this matter! Cao Cao pacified the north and was strong. If you resist, you will be outnumbered! If you can say welcome surrender, right? My brother and Ce'er fought hard for more than ten years to get the ground of the six counties and eighty-one states in Jiangdong, and it was a pity to give up like this! After thinking about it, it's hard to decide! Sun Jing frowned tightly, with a bitter gourd face.
Sun Quan thought to himself, yes! Asking is the same as not asking! This old guy doesn't have a decision!
"Lord!" Sun Jing seemed to think of something again! "Changshi Lu Zijing is quite courageous and far-sighted, why doesn't the lord consult him?"
Sun Quanxin said, if Lu Su wasn't on a business trip, could Lao Tzu pull you to ask? Ay! Lao Tzu is also sick and rushed to the doctor!
"Hehe, my uncle doesn't know! I sent Zijing out on business! I'll be back in a while! ”
Sun Jing nodded, "No wonder I haven't seen him in the past few days!" It turned out to be on a business trip!"
"Uncle, let me think about this again! It's not too early! Go back and rest early! Sun Quan issued an eviction order.
Sun Jing knows a lot! Hurry up and say goodbye!
After Sun Quan made a concerted effort at the conference that day, he closed his door and thanked the guests, and thought hard about countermeasures in the mansion for many days, but it was difficult to decide! My heart is very troubled!
At this time, a Tsing Yi attendant walked in from outside and reported that Lu Su asked to see him!
