In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, 219 A.D., autumn, this year does not seem to be a very good year for Wu Hou Sun Quan, as can be seen from the black face of Wu Hou now. The atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, although more than half of the civil and military ministers in Jiangdong had gathered here at this time, but the people who were black and oppressive gathered together, it was terrifying, all because of the letter from Jingzhou asking for help.

Above the main hall, the letter for help in the hands of Marquis Sun Quan of Wu was twisting into a ball of paper at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it was thrown on Lu Xun, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, followed by the hoarse angry voice of Marquis Sun Quan: "Waste, a group of waste!" On weekdays, everyone is bullish and coaxing, blowing the sky in front of the widow, saying that Guan Yu is not enough evidence, saying that Jingzhou can be handed down with a snap of his fingers, what is the result? The result? The 50,000 army was beaten and beaten, Nanjun didn't get it, and he also compensated Jiangxia County that Zhou Gongjin had worked so hard to capture, and now he still has the face to ask me for reinforcements, Lu Ziming is simply a waste! Rubbish! Sun Quan was furious, the green tendons on his forehead bulged out, clearly visible, his eyes were round, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was constantly trembling because of anger, like an enraged bull.

"The Lord is angry!" At the bottom of the stairs, an old man got up, went out of the ranks, knelt on the ground, and bowed his hands.

Sun Quan looked up, but it was Zhang Zhao, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, sat down, and said, "Zibu, talk about it!" ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he nodded, and said: "Lord, the result of this battle is something we didn't expect, and we can't blame Lu Ziming for it, I thought that what Jingzhou was afraid of was Guan Yun Chang'er, who would have thought that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old doll would have such ability?" In the opinion of the old minister, it is no longer the time to discuss who should be responsible for the defeat of this battle, and everyone should not forget that General Sun Jiao's 20,000 elites are still trapped in Lingling City and cannot move! Now that Jiangxia has been lost, if it is not expected, then the Jingzhou army in Jiangbei will already be able to pull out their hands and feet, and now the Jingzhou army outside Lingling City has 30,000 people, if Guan Ping and Liaohua go south again, Lao Chen is afraid that the 20,000 main forces trapped in Lingling will also be destroyed! This matter is urgent, please decide the Lord! ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded, calmed down his emotions, calmed down, and became a monarch who made a difference, Sun Quan was rarely swayed by his emotions, and he was always able to rationally examine the problem at the most critical moment, which was one of the important reasons for his success.

Sun Quan stood up, took two steps, turned around, and asked, "Zibu has a good plan?" ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he arched his hand and said: "My lord, in the opinion of the ministers, first, appoint Lu Xun as the right governor, and unify the departments of Ding Feng, Ling Tong, Chen Wu, Han Dang, etc., which were originally subordinate to the governor of Lümeng, to Lu Xun's command, and let him immediately rush to Chaisang, collect the old department, counterattack Jiangxia, and contain Guan Ping, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang, so as to prevent him from going south to reinforce Lingling. ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded and said, "This plan is feasible!" Then he turned his face to look at Lu Xun who was kneeling at the bottom of the stairs and said, "Bo Yan! Get up! ”

Lu Xun has been kneeling for a long time, his legs and feet are numb, I thought I was going to kneel here today, but I didn't expect the peak to turn around, Lu Xun thanked him, and staggered up.

Sun Quan restrained his anger and said, "Bo Yan, you heard what Zibu said just now!" ”

Lu Xun arched his hand and said, "The minister heard it!" ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "It's good to hear it, from now on, you are the right governor of my Wu army, you immediately rush to Chaisang with my handwritten decree and take Jiangxia back for me!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Lu Xun hurriedly knelt down and received the order.

Sun Quan took his own sword from the desk, walked down the steps, handed it to Lu Xun, and said: "This sword is my personal sword, I have followed me for many years, I have never left, I will give it to you today, after you arrive in Chaisang, you can use this sword to order the three armies, anyone who dares to disobey your orders, you can kill it with this sword, you don't have to report it again!" ”

Lu Xun respectfully took Sun Quan's sword, excited, and said in his heart, damn, this is crooked!

Lu Xun took the sword, turned around and took the order.

Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun's departing figure, nodded, turned back to his seat, and said, "Zibu, you go on, what is the second one?" ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he almost didn't cry, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu just said a word, and he was interrupted by you, and turned his head and talked to Lu Xun's little cub for a long time, so that Lao Tzu was about to kneel into a stone statue here.

Zhang Zhao retracted his face, breathed a deep sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and then said: "Second, urgently recruit a team of 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, go east to Lingling, and join forces with General Sun Jiao, in order to defeat the Jingzhou army on the periphery of Lingling in one fell swoop, even if it is not defeated, it can rescue General Sun Jiao's headquarters and retreat to Wu Realm." ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded and said, "It's not difficult to collect 20,000 soldiers and horses, but who will lead the troops?" ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he said with a smile: "The minister recommends one person, but he can be in this position!" ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Oh? It turns out that Zibu has already chosen someone in his heart, so let's talk about it and listen to it! ”

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Suinan General Zhuge Jin has both civil and military skills, and his talents are excellent, so he can do this!" And Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Zhan's uncle, and he leads the troops, I think Zhuge Zhan will never poison his uncle no matter how bastard he is! What does the lord think? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he didn't speak, but Zhuge Jin, who was sitting down the steps, was shocked into a cold sweat, jumped out hurriedly, knelt down at the bottom of the steps, burst into tears, and said, "Lord! You can't listen to Zhang Zhao's nonsense! The minister is a civil official, and he doesn't know how to do the army, where can he bring soldiers and horses? Although Zhuge Zhan is my nephew, I left home to serve my lord in Jiangdong when he was still an infant, and I have never met, so how can I have feelings? Even if Weichen leads the troops, how can he see that little cub not poison him? Lord! Zhang Zhao: This is to exclude dissidents! Don't listen to him! After speaking, he kowtowed again and again, and tears fell.

After listening to this, Sun Quan thought for a while, nodded for a while, and said, "Reasonable!" ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Sun Quan heard Zhuge Jin's thanks, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Ziyu! Don't be busy thanking you first, the widow is saying that what Zhang Zhao said makes sense! You want to! You are Zhuge Zhan's uncle, he can't poison you anymore! You can go with confidence! ”

Zhuge Jin burst into tears when he heard this, and asked, "Lord, what if Zhuge Zhan poisons his ministers!" ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "I will avenge you!" ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he had to go, so he wiped away his tears with his sleeves and arched his hand: "Lord! If something happens to the minister, my family will ask the lord! ”

Sun Quan took a deep breath, nodded, waved his hand to Zhuge Jin, and said, "You can go with confidence!" ”

Zhuge Jin received the order, retreated with tears, retreated to the door of the hall, turned his head suddenly, glanced at Sun Quan with resentful eyes, and left helplessly.
