Chapter 733: Misfortune Leads to the East
Gu Yong's expression was solemn, and he said: "Lu Xun sat in Danyang County and captured Xun You and Zhang Liao. With two people in the hands of the king, Cao Jun did not dare to go to war again. Chen believes that the next step should be to fight Liu Xiu with all his might. β
Originally, the state of Wu was jointly attacked by the states of Wei and Chu.
Now that Zhang Liao and Xun You have been captured, it is enough to contain Wei and tie Wei up.
Facing the state of Chu alone, the state of Wu had a chance to fight back.
At this moment, Gu Yong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The situation was so bad that he couldn't sleep all night.
Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After listening to Gu Yong's words, Sun Quan bowed slightly, looked at Zhang Zhao again, and said, "What does Zhang Gong think?"
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his chin and sighed: "The old minister thinks that the situation is still very bad. Gu Yong's consideration was based on the fact that Cao Cao's would take into account Zhang Liao and Xun You's 'sex' lives. β
"What if, Cao '' and ignores them?"
"Cao 'Cao' mobilized a large army and sent troops to kill again, how can we resist?"
"In fact, we are still enemies on both sides. β
Zhang Zhao said: "There is still a great danger in this battle. Lao Chen believes that after defeating Cao's army, the focus now is on how to deal with Xun You and Zhang Liaoshang. The disposal of these two people is the most critical. β
Sun Quan nodded.
Zhang Zhao's analysis is also very reasonable.
If Xun You and Zhang Liao are not properly handled, the problem of Cao Cao's 'Cao' cannot be solved.
Zhao Shi said: "I, the State of Wu, asked Cao 'Cao' to surrender to the minister, and the State of Wei has already agreed to the conditions. Zhang Liao led his troops south to Danyang County, but was ambushed, so that Zhang Liao and Xun You were captured. Cao '' is angry, and he will not give up. On the one hand, it was us who broke the covenant first, and on the other hand, Cao Cao's losses were so great, how could he give up?"
Sun Quan said: "Zhao Shi, do you mean that Cao 'Cao' will kill?"
Zhao Shi said: "It's very likely!"
Gu Yong held a different opinion and said: "Whether it is Zhang Liao or Xun You, they are all henchmen under Cao's ''. If he dares to start a war, doesn't he want their 'lives'?"
Zhao Zhi said: "Cao '' the world's 'traitor' male, will he be coerced because of Xun You and Zhang Liao?"
When Gu Yong heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Previously, Sun Quan sent Zhao Shi out of Jiangxia, and Liu Xiu was not threatened.
Cao '' is no less than Liu Xiu, neither of them is a threatened person.
It is quite difficult to use Xun You and Zhang Liao to threaten Cao 'Cao'.
In the face of the overall situation, it is impossible for Cao 'Cao' to change the decision.
Sun Quan listened to the discussion of everyone under his command, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Gong thinks, what should be done with Xun You and Zhang Liao?"
Zhang Zhao thought for a long time and said: "The king asked Liu Xiu for peace again, and then sent someone to send Xun You and Zhang Liao over, so as to separate Cao 'Cao' and Liu Xiu, and break the alliance between Chu and Wei. β
When Sun Quan heard this, the 'fine' light flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Zhao's proposal has been mentioned in Lu Xun's letters.
Lu Xun's letter not only reported the battle situation ahead, but also involved the disposal of Xun You and Zhang Liao.
Lu Xun made a suggestion to 'hand' Zhang Liao and Xun You to Liu Xiu for Liu Xiu to dispose of.
Zhang Zhao glanced at Sun Quan, saw Sun Quan's intentions, and continued: "Great King, Wu has the Yangtze River Trench, and has taken Zhang Liao and Xun You, and has dealt a heavy blow to the Wei State, at least for a short time, the Cao army will not be able to break through the Wu State. β
"The only one who is worried about it is the state of Chu. β
"Liu Xiu's navy army is also a first-class 'elite', and it is not lost to my Wu State. β
"Liu Xiu brought a far greater threat to the State of Wu than the State of Wei. β
"gave Zhang Liao and Xun You to Liu Xiu, with Liu Xiu's ambition to annex the world, he would not return to the mountains, and he would not 'hand' Xun You and Zhang Liao to Cao 'Cao'. β
"Cao '' the news, so he was naturally annoyed. β
"At that time, the alliance between Chu and Wei will be broken, and it will be impossible to jointly attack Wu again. β
"In this battle, the pressure on us is relaxed. β
Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Moreover, we will send someone to send Zhang Liao and Xun Yu to sue for peace, as long as Liu Xiu accepts, the war between Chu and Wu will slow down." If Liu Xiu doesn't accept it, at most it will be the current battle situation, and it will be to continue the war. β
Sun Quan said: "This trick is not bad. β
The strategy given by Lu Xun is to lead the water to the east.
Use Xun You and Zhang Liao to dissociate.
After Gu Yong thought about it, he suddenly said, "Gong Zhang, suppose Liu Xiu accepts our surrender." However, what about Liu Xiu's transfer of Xun You and Zhang Liao to Cao 'Cao'?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his face changed slightly.
Yes, if Liu Xiu 'handed over' Zhang Liao and Xun You to Cao 'Cao'.
When the time comes, it will be Liu Xiu who will benefit.
Zhang Zhao was not in a hurry or impatient, and explained: "Gu Yong, the old man just said that Liu Xiuzhi is in the world. In Liu Xiu's eyes, he always thought that Cao 'Cao' was the enemy, and there was an opportunity to weaken Cao's 'Cao', so how could Liu Xiu not do it?"
"Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan and others died in the hands of Liu Xiu. β
"If you cut Zhang Liao and Xun You again, you can imagine how big a blow to Cao 'Cao' will be. β
"In particular, Xun Yu is the mastermind of Cao's ''. β
"First there were Jia Xu and Zhang Jaw, and now Xun You and Zhang Liao. Just imagine, can Cao '' withstand such a blow?"
Zhang Zhao said: "The two interests are more important, Liu Xiu's 'friendship' with Cao 'Cao' is advantageous, but it is also beneficial to kill or imprison Xun You and Zhang Liao, and the benefits are even greater." The old man was sure that Liu Xiu would not release the two. β
Gu Yong's eyes were solemn, and he said, "Gong Zhang, you are strong. β
Zhang Zhao said: "The old man just stated a fact, and the old man only put forward his personal opinion. How to choose, it depends on the king. β
Gu Yong flicked his sleeves, snorted and stopped talking.
After Sun Quan listened to the discussion, he had already made a decision in his heart, and said: "Regarding the disposition of Zhang Liao and Xun You, this king agrees with what Zhang Gong said. With Liu Xiu's 'nature', he would not return Xun You and Zhang Liao to Cao 'Cao'. Therefore, the king decided to send someone to escort the two and transfer them to Liu Xiu. β
Gu Yong persuaded him: "The king can't!"
Zhang Zhao said: "Gu Yong, if you keep Xun You and Zhang Liao, will you continue to be attacked by Cao 'Cao' and Liu Xiu? β
Sun Quan nodded.
At present, Liu Xiu and Cao '' have an alliance, and they must break the alliance between the two sides.
After the matter was decided, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to prepare for war on the one hand, and Lu Xun on the other hand to send Xun You and Zhang Liao back, and then sued Liu Xiu for peace.
Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others left the Wu Palace.
Standing outside the mansion, Gu Yong stared at Zhang Zhao and said coldly: "Gong Zhang, what do you mean? Can't you see that once Xun You and Zhang Liao are 'handed over' to Liu Xiu, we will have no initiative, and Cao 'Cao' will not take care of us?"
Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Yuan sigh, with Xun You and Zhang Liao in hand, will Cao '' have scruples? Cao '' is a person who would rather be responsible for others." Will such a person be constrained because of Xun You and Zhang Liao? You are too naΓ―ve. β
Gu Yong shook his head and said, "No, Gong Zhang, you have a 'selfish' heart. Although Zhang Liao and Xun Yu are in our hands, they may not have an effect, and they may not be able to restrain Cao's ''. But the current situation will never be worse than 'handing' people over to Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu transfers the person to Cao Cao, the situation will be even worse for us. β
Zhang Zhao said: "Yuan sigh, you are too worried. β
Gu Yong flicked his sleeves and said, "I hope!"
Zhang Zhao got into the carriage and left quickly.
