Sun Quan was in his early twenties, and his eyes were slightly blue.

His high cheekbones and slightly yellowed hair make him look more like a Hu man than a Han man.

Sitting in the hall, looking around at the staff and generals in the hall, Sun Quan asked them with a solemn face: "Da Qiao arrived at Zhou Yu's military camp, first left by Zhou Yu and his wife, and now the emperor of Luoyang actually issued a holy decree to marry her and Zhao Yun. She is the wife of her deceased brother, if she marries someone else, won't she insult my grandson's name? ”

Sun Quan's words made everyone in the hall dare not respond.

Back then, Sun Ce conquered Jiangdong, and because of his courage and good fighting, he won the name of a little overlord.

What a majesty!

It has been two or three years since Sun Ce's death, and under Sun Quan's management, Jiangdong has developed rapidly, the people are rich, and it already has the strength to confront the heroes of the Central Plains.

If Liu Wei had not unified the Central Plains, although the Jiangdong Sun clan might have been weak to go north, it would not be particularly difficult to maintain a corner of stability across the Yangtze River.

Everyone in the hall was silent, and Sun Quan's brows furrowed more and more.

"Why are you silent?" Seeing that everyone didn't answer his words, he was already a little annoyed, and said to them: "You have a lot of ideas in Su Rili, why do you have no ideas in this matter?" ”

In the face of Sun Quan's questioning, Jiangdong's staff and generals all lowered their heads one by one, and no one responded.

If the emperor of Luoyang had not conveyed the holy decree and married Da Qiao and Zhao Yun, perhaps there would have been some possibility of reversal in this matter.

Now that the emperor has decreed marriage, if Sun Quan obstructs it, he will have no ruler in his eyes and bring war to Jiangdong, but it will only be a matter of time.

Everyone in the hall knew that after Da Qiao married Zhao Yun, Sun Zhao would definitely follow Da Qiao, and once the emperor canonized Sun Zhao as the Jiangdong Assassin, Sun Quan's position would be very embarrassing.

The rebellion in Jiangdong is just a matter of time!

No matter what choice is made, it is not a good thing for Jiangdong, so no one dares to open his mouth to make a decision.

Everyone was silent, Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked one person in the hall in a cold voice: "Zhang Zhao, you have the most ideas in the past day, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Sun Quan named a staff member with gray hair and beard.

Hearing Sun Quan call him, Zhang Zhao hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed first, and then said: "Qi Wu Hou, this matter is difficult to decide, and there is really no feasible plan for the subordinates!" ”

"Why is it so hard to decide?" Frowning, Sun Quan did not let Zhang Zhao go, but asked.

"Zhou Yu left Da Qiao's mother and son, and now the emperor of Luoyang has decreed marriage, once the marriage is completed, the possibility of Da Qiao's mother and son returning to Jiangdong is no more!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan: "The mother and son have arrived in Luoyang, if the emperor has the heart to go south, he will canonize Sun Zhao as the assassin of Jiangdong, and then Wu Hou is afraid that it will be a little subtle!" ”

What Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan had also thought of it, so he called everyone to come to the discussion.

In terms of military strength, Jiangdong soldiers and horses are definitely not opponents of the Han army!

In particular, Zhou Yu occupied a corner of Jiangdong, and the Han army went south, so there was no need to break through the defense line of the Jiangdong Army at all, and only needed to land from Zhou Yu's garrison to open up the battlefield on land.

The two armies, if it was just a water battle, Sun Quan would still be somewhat sure that he would be able to retreat from the enemy.

However, if the two sides fought on land, the Han army was strong, and there were many men and horses, at most, it would not take more than a month, and Jiangdong would fall completely.

Sun Quan is worried about this!

Zhang Zhao's voice fell, Sun Quan looked pensive, and a person in the hall stood up, clasped his fists and bowed down and said: "Wu Hou, a battle with the imperial court, sooner or later will be fought, and now Wu Hou must send troops to exterminate Zhou Yu, so as to keep Jiangdong safe!" ”

Hearing someone speak, Sun Quan raised his head.

What he saw was a Tsing Yi staff member in his thirties.

This person has a fair skin, very thin skin, but a pair of eyes are bright, and when he speaks, his tone is also very resolute, and there is no mud and water at all.

The person who spoke was none other than Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang's brother who served Liu Bei.

Zhuge Jin doesn't talk a lot on weekdays, and whenever he discusses a matter, he will not stand up lightly to express his opinions, so in front of Sun Quan, he is not the kind of extremely important role.

I didn't expect that it would be Zhuge Jin who stood up, Sun Quan leaned forward, and asked him: "Ziyu's words are also quite reasonable, but Zhou Yu has a large number of soldiers and horses, even if a certain army is sent to fight, it is difficult to break it, and the Han army has transferred Yulinwei to cooperate in garrisoning, and the military strength has increased greatly, and it is even more difficult for our army to succeed!" ”

Sun Quan's analysis is precisely the dilemma he is facing at the moment.

It's not that he didn't think about attacking Zhou Yu, it's just that Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses are all elite in Jiangdong, and the army may not be able to break through immediately.

Moreover, Yu Linwei, one of the three guards of the Han army, was also stationed in Zhou Yu's military camp.

The two powerful armies gathered together, Sun Quan was not sure that they could be defeated, and in his thoughts, if they could not use force, it was better not to resort to the method of conquest by force.

can think about it, without using force, it is not easy to obstruct the marriage between Da Qiao and Zhao Yun and bring Da Qiao's mother and son back to Jianye!

Tightly frowning, Sun Quan was groaning, and another person stood up.

The person who stood up, with a short figure, was very loyal in appearance, giving people the impression of a dignified elder.

Sun Quan is very familiar with this person, and this person is Lu Su, whom he relies on a lot.

Lu Su is kind-hearted and easy to get along with, and often some foreign affairs are handed over to him, which will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort!

Seeing Lu Su standing up, before he could speak, Sun Quan asked, "What did Zijing say?" ”

Clenched his fists and bowed to Sun Quan, Lu Su then looked around at the people in the hall and said to Sun Quan: "Ziyu's intention to use troops is not unreasonable, but there is no conflict between Wu Hou and His Majesty at the moment. ”

Lu Su's words expressed the worry in Sun Quan's heart.

The Han army pacified the southwest, and the war in the north was completely over, and all the emperor needed now was a reason to send troops to Jiangdong.

Although Sun Quan did not respect the imperial court very much, he did not particularly disobey it.

As long as the relationship with the imperial court can be maintained, if the emperor sends troops to Jiangdong, it will be a monarch to defeat his ministers, and it will be difficult to explain to the world!

Pinching his chin, Sun Quan looked pensive, and after a while, he asked Lu Su: "With the meaning of Zijing, how about so?" ”

"Wu Hou!" Facing Sun Quan, Lu Su said to him: "The most important thing at the moment is to prevent Da Qiao from marrying Zhao Yun and take her back to Jianye!" ”

"I also know that the most important thing is like this, but it is not easy to take Da Qiao back!" Sighing lightly, Sun Quan shook his head and said to Lu Su: "Now that His Majesty has decreed marriage, how can he take back his fate?" ”

"The subordinates are willing to go to Luoyang!" Holding his fists again, Lu Su said to Sun Quan: "If you can persuade Your Majesty to take back your life, Jiangdong may avoid a battle!" ”

After pondering for a moment, Sun Quan nodded and said to Lu Su: "Since this is the case, this matter should be sooner rather than later, Zijing should go on the road immediately!" ”

"No!" In response, Lu Su turned around and exited the front hall.

Looking at Lu Su's departing back, Sun Quan's brows were still tightly wrinkled.

The possibility of Lu Su going to Luoyang and convincing Liu Wei was almost impossible in Sun Quan's view.

Earlier, Jiang Gan approached Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan sent assassins to intercept Jiang Gan along the way in order to prevent Zhou Yu from having a close relationship with the imperial court.

The assassins sent never returned, which made Sun Quan feel very uneasy.

If the Emperor knew that he had sent an assassin, how could he heed Lu Su's suggestion and withdraw the marriage that had already been decreed?

Sun Quan did not inform his staff and generals about the assassins, and he was the only one who knew about it, after all, this kind of thing, spreading it, would not be of any benefit to him or even to the entire Jiangdong.

Leaving the council hall, Lu Su returned home and cleaned up briefly, and then walked to the riverside ferry under the escort of more than a dozen guards.

From Jiangdong to Luoyang, you must cross the Yangtze River.

When they arrived at the riverside ferry, Lu Su found that there was already a large ship waiting for them.

Standing on the bow of the ship was a general in armor.

This man is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his physique is not very burly, but people can feel that he is very strong.

The Jiangdong general standing on the bow of the ship is very familiar with Lu Su, and this person is the famous Jiangdong general Lu Meng.

Seeing that Lu Su had arrived surrounded by more than a dozen guards, Lu Meng arched at him with his fists and shouted to him: "Zijing, I have been waiting here for a long time!" ”

Looking up at Lu Meng, Lu Su cupped his fists and saluted him back and said, "Lao Annoying Ziming personally sent him off, I was so scared!" ”

"Zijing, what are you talking about!" Putting down his fists, Lu Meng, who was standing on the bow of the boat, made a gesture of invitation to Lu Su and said, "Zi, please come on the boat and talk!" ”

After thanking Lu Meng again, Lu Su led more than a dozen guards to the gangway to get on the ship.

Boarding the big ship, as soon as Lu Su jumped on the deck, Lu Meng stepped forward to support him.

Supported by Lu Meng, Lu Su said very politely: "Ziming is a famous general in the army, and he came to see him off in person in his busy schedule, and he was so frightened!" ”

"Zijing, don't say that!" Smiling slightly, Lu Meng said to him: "The princess carries the stability of Jiangdong, and on the order of Wu Hou, he led the men and horses to send the prince to Luoyang!" ”

"Sent to Luoyang?" I didn't expect Lu Meng to accompany him to Luoyang, Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Is the general going to put military affairs on hold and only send a certain person to meet His Majesty?" ”

"This trip is far away, and Wu Hou can't rest assured that he is on the road alone!" Helping Lu Su to the bow of the boat, Lu Meng said to him: "The last general will accompany you, if you encounter some twists and turns on the way, you can take care of each other!" ”

Lu Meng came to escort him on Sun Quan's order, and Lu Su didn't say much, so he arched at him with his fists and said, "This will annoy the general!" ”
