Zhang Zhao was appointed by Sun Quan to meet Liu Wei.

Liu Wei did not embarrass him, and when he learned that he had come to meet him, he immediately ordered the guards to bring him to him.

Before meeting Liu Wei, Zhang Zhao was a little nervous in his heart.

Following behind the guard, he kept his head down all the way, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

The Jiangdong Sun clan is a heroic man that has not yet been conquered by the Han court.

Sun Quan launched a large army and repeatedly resisted the imperial court, and now there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Jiangdong, but the 800,000 troops of the imperial court have crossed the Yangtze River.

The difference in military strength between the two sides is almost thirty times, and even if Sun Quan withdraws all his troops and horses and traps Jianye, with the deep city of Jianye, he may be able to withstand some time.

However, once the imperial army arrives under the city, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

In this case, Zhang Zhao did not succeed in convincing Liu Wei of his grasp.

The guard led him all the way in the direction where Liu Wei was.

On the Yangtze River, there was no Han army that had crossed the river, and the 600,000 Han troops who came from the north had already crossed the river in an all-round way, and they would march towards Jianye when the 200,000 troops on the western front approached.

Liu Wei did not wait for Zhang Zhao in the barracks, leading a group of generals, he stood on the edge of the Yangtze River, looking at the river where the warships came and went, and a pride rose in his chest.

Dong Zhuo was in chaos back then, and he was abolished in office.

When Li Ru tried to poison him, he made a choice to kill Li Ru and flee Luoyang with Tang Ji.

More than ten years have passed, and after ups and downs, he finally waited for the army to cross the Yangtze River and was about to dominate the world.

Liu Wei didn't know what kind of impact he would have on future generations, and he didn't have time to think about the effects of these effects.

When he escaped from Luoyang, he had only one purpose, and that was to live!

He even thought about relying on others to be a rich man in peace, but the reality made him have to choose a path of no return to conquer the world!

From the day he led the army to fight with the Xiliang army, he knew that this era would not allow him to fail.

Once defeated, the only way out is to perish.

Looking at the rolling Yangtze River, Liu Wei felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Just as he was recalling the ups and downs he had gone through over the years, the guards who had been ordered to lead Zhang Zhao ran behind him, clasped their fists and said to him: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Sun clan, Zhang Zhao, is here!" ”

Zhang Zhao's name is no stranger to Liu Wei.

Without looking back, he just waved his hand and said to the guard, "Bring him here!" ”

The generals and ministers standing beside Liu Wei heard that the Sun envoy was coming, and they all turned their heads to look back.

What they saw was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair.

I don't know if it's out of panic in my heart, or if I'm really old enough to tremble when I walk, Zhang Zhao's legs and feet are a little fluttering when he walks.

Accompanied by the guards, Zhang Zhao came behind Liu Wei.

Clenched his fists and bowed, and made a big salute to Liu Wei, Zhang Zhao said: "Your Majesty, Minister, Zhang Zhao, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Excuse me!" Without looking back, Liu Weixu raised his hand and said: "Jiangdong is now an enemy of the imperial court, and I have not listed it as belonging to the Han Dynasty. The army passed, and attacked the city all the way, so that the court could be recovered! You don't have to be courteous to me, you only need to be courteous! ”

Liu argued that he was emotionless, as if he was saying something completely irrelevant to him.

His indifference revealed a message to Zhang Zhao.

In his eyes, the Jiangdong Sun clan is now just a piece of meat on the cutting board, and he can cook this piece of meat into a delicious dish as long as he stretches out his hand.

Clenching his fists and bowing, Zhang Zhao did not respond immediately, but the panic on his face still showed his panicked heart at this time.

"What is your intention when you come to see me?" didn't look back, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Zhao: "If Sun Quan is begging me to withdraw from the army, you can go back and tell him that if you don't break through Jiangdong, I will never retreat!" I want him to wash his neck and wait for his head to hit the ground! ”

Liu Bian's words were categorical, and Zhang Zhao had no doubt that once the Han army broke through Jianye, the Jiangdong Sun clan was very likely to be completely erased from this world except for Sun Zhao who was taken away by Da Qiao.

Sun Quan asked him to come, not to implore Liu Wei to withdraw from the army, but to ask him to indicate to Liu Wei that he was willing to sacrifice Jiangdong.

Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Zhang Zhao said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wu wants to come to his ministers, not to ask His Majesty to withdraw his troops, but to surrender to His Majesty......"

"Surrender?" Finally turned around and looked at Zhang Zhao, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became more gloomy, and he asked: "Zhuge Jin led 50,000 troops to intercept the army on the Western Front, and Lu Xun led 100,000 sailors to line up on the Yangtze River." Earlier, Jiangdong soldiers and horses had crusaded against Zhou Yu's camp, why didn't Sun Quan say that he would sacrifice Jiangdong at that time? Now that my army has crossed the Yangtze River, Jianye is at his fingertips, and at this time, he will sacrifice Jiangdong, he is nothing more than to save his life! ”

Liu argued and analyzed Sun Quan's mentality vividly, and Zhang Zhao didn't know what to say, so he just clenched his fists and bowed his head, with a look of panic.

With a cold face, Liu Wei waved his hand to Zhang Zhao again and said to him: "Inform Sun Quan that I have already sacrificed Jiangdong, but he has ignored my will. Now that the army is pressing the border, Jiangdong is just around the corner, how can I allow him to sacrifice at this time? After his death, I will give him a disobedient marquis, build a tomb for him in a beautiful place, and perhaps arrange two grave keepers for him if I am interested! ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Wei did not agree to allow Sun Quan to sacrifice Jiangdong at all, and was bent on waving a large army to break through Jianye, Zhang Zhao knew that if he didn't say anything at this time, this time he would definitely end up in failure to see Liu Wei, and hurriedly said: "I have heard that Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king, and treats the people and soldiers as if they were your own." But in every battle, there will be damage, if the last battle can be avoided, why should Your Majesty let the soldiers suffer from that battle? When the world is calm, how many orphans and widows will there be in this world, and how many lives will be missing? ”

Staring at Zhang Zhao, Liu Wei's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand towards him and said, "Go on!" ”

Liu Wei allowed him to continue, and Zhang Zhao hurriedly continued: "The army is conquering Jiangdong, and although Wu Hou does not have too many soldiers and horses in his hands, he still has 30,000 soldiers in his hands. 30,000 soldiers defend Jianye, if Your Majesty attacks the city, the Han soldiers will definitely suffer casualties, if they don't attack, the daily cost is huge, and it is difficult to last! ”

What Zhang Zhao said was not completely unreasonable, and Liu Wei didn't interrupt him, just stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Jiangdong is also the territory of the Han Dynasty, and if you get Jiangdong, Your Majesty must appease the people and incorporate the Jiangdong soldiers!" With his hands clenched into fists, Zhang Zhao's body trembled slightly when he spoke, but he still continued: "As Your Majesty's people, if you can spare the lives of these 30,000 soldiers, Your Majesty is a meritorious person, wouldn't it be more beautiful?" ”

Zhang Zhao's words made Liu Wei's brows gradually twist.

The 30,000 Jiangdong army held Jianye, although the number of Han troops was allowed, it was not easy to break through the city.

If Sun Quan's request had been granted and his life had been spared, there would have been many fewer soldiers who died on the battlefield.

However, sparing Sun Quan, Liu Wei was very unhappy in his heart.

On that day, he clearly revealed his intention to ask Sun Quan to sacrifice Jiangdong, and Sun Shangxiang also wrote a letter to Sun Quan, persuading him to serve the imperial court, but those were ignored by Sun Quan.

If the Jiangdong Sun clan is not punished, even if he dominates the world in the future, some courtiers may think that he can be deceived and secretly do something he does not want to see.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Liu Wei said to Zhang Zhao: "I have thought about it again and again, what you said is not unreasonable, but if you don't punish Sun Quan, it will be difficult for me to explain to the world." Inform Sun Quan that Hou Zhen still sealed him for disobedience, but only allowed him to stay alive, and since then he has lived in Luoyang, and has been supervised by the imperial court every day, and he must no longer have half of his disobedience! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Wei changed his words and allowed Sun Quan to sacrifice Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao hurriedly thanked him and said, "Your Majesty will go to inform Wu Hou...... No, it's disobedience! Your Majesty is magnanimous, benevolent and righteous, and the Jiangdong fathers and elders must be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness! ”

Without further words, Liu Wei waved his hand at Zhang Zhao.

After thanking Liu Wei again, Zhang Zhao retreated.

Seeing his departing back, Pang Tong on the side whispered to Liu Biao and asked, "Your Majesty spared Sun Quan like this?" ”

"What Zhang Zhao said is not unreasonable!" The corners of his mouth pulled up a faint smile, and Liu Wei said: "The 30,000 Jiangdong Army is firmly guarding Jianye, which is a big city, and it is also the place where the Sun family has been operating for many years. Our army went all the way south, and Sun Quan must have already allocated a large amount of grain and grass into the city. Once the city is besieged, I am afraid that he will not be trapped for three or five years! ”

"Once the army attacks the city, the city of Jianye will be strong!" With his brows tightly locked, Liu Wei looked at the soldiers of the Han army in the distance, and said to Pang Tong: "How many soldiers are difficult to return to the garden?" Now that Sun Quan has sent people to surrender to Cheng, if I don't allow it, I will be angry. And let him go, when you get to Luoyang, you can dispose of it at will! ”

Liu Wei made the decision to allow Sun Quan to sacrifice Jiangdong, and Pang Tong was not good at saying anything more.

Looking at Zhang Zhao's departing back, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

has followed Liu Wei for many years, and has also made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but the world is about to be unified, and Liu Wei's throne is also more stable, but Pang Tong does not know where to go in the future.

Liu Wei is a promising king, and after the world is unified, he will definitely reward the meritorious heroes.

just accepted the reward, whether they can live a stable life, Pang Tong has no bottom in his heart!

When Liu Bang won the world, he killed the heroes who made contributions to him, no one can say for sure, after Liu Bang completed the unification of the world, he will be like his ancestors.

Perhaps sensing that Pang Tong was a little confused, Liu Wei asked him, "What's wrong with Shiyuan?" Could it be that there is something in mind? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request!" Liu Wei took the initiative to ask, and Pang Tong then hugged his fists and bowed and said, "I beg Your Majesty to agree!" ”
