Chapter 767: Decision
Sun Quan thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhao and ordered: "The matter of recalling Lu Xun can be carried out immediately. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast. β
"Whoa!"
Zhang Zhao should go down.
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's heart was completely let go.
As long as Lu Xun is recalled, the goal has been achieved, and Lu Xun and Tai Shi Ci can be combined.
As for how Sun Quan will choose, Zhang Zhao actually doesn't care.
As long as Tai Shi Ci killed Wu County, it would be impossible for Wu State to exist anymore.
Lu Ji stood below, his expression calm, and his heart was also extremely happy.
As Lu Kang's son, Lu Ji clearly remembers the situation when Lujiang County was attacked in the past. Lu Kang's death was all caused by Sun Ce and the Sun family.
Now, the Sun family is also about to fall.
In Lu Ji's heart, he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh three times.
As for Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi, Zhao Zhi and others, they all stood below one by one, all with solemn expressions.
Tai Shici entered Wu County, and Wu State was already in danger.
Sun Quan looked at the people under his command and said, "What do you think of the second thing that Zhang Gong mentioned?"
When they heard this, they did not speak.
The last time officials were talking, countless officials stood up for Sun Quan to surrender.
In the end, he angered Sun Quan and was almost killed by Sun Quan.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhao persuaded him to survive.
Now Sun Quan opened his mouth to ask again, but none of them were willing to speak.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Sun Quan was a little dissatisfied, so he looked at Lu Ji and said, "Lu Ji, what do you think?"
Lu Ji stood up, bowed to Sun Quan, and said, "King, the only way to do this is to fight to the death. As for whether it can be resisted, that's another story. β
When something is said, it is equivalent to not saying it.
Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Lu Ji's answer, and said, "What this king asked you about is the second point mentioned by Zhang Gong?"
Lu Ji said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "King, is there still a way out for Wu to retreat under the joint attack of Wei and Chu?"
"There's no going back. β
"There are only two ways before the king. β
"First, fight to the death. It is better to break the 'jade' than to be complete, even if it is death, it will give Yu Taishi Ci a heavy blow, so that the army of Chu will suffer huge losses. β
"Second, surrender to Liu Xiu or Cao Cao. β
"And this surrender must be the king himself as a hostage, otherwise the other party will not agree. β
Lu Ji said: "The king only has these two choices, and there are no other choices. The Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu was defeated, Xu Sheng was killed in battle, and Wu was running out of available troops. β
"It's almost impossible to turn things around. β
"It is impossible to block both the Wei State and the Chu State. β
"The minister has the audacity to speak in vain, and asks the king to forgive his sins. β
Lu Ji bowed.
His words were quite straightforward.
Sun Quan's inquiry was to ask if there were any other strategies to stabilize the situation, but Lu Ji tore everything apart and put everything naked - 'naked' - 'naked' - in front of Sun Quan.
When everyone heard this, their hearts were heavy.
Lu Ji's words touched everyone's hearts.
If the general trend has gone, it is simply impossible to resist Wei and Chu.
After Sun Quan listened, his face stiffened.
At this moment, Sun Quan's heart was full of depression and even more despair.
Can't help it?
Sun Quan asked himself.
He did not speak, and the people below did not dare to speak.
After a long time, Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Let's all step aside, this king will think about it again." When you go down, you also think carefully about how to deal with it. β
The crowd dispersed, and Zhang Zhao asked Sun Quan for an edict to recall Lu Xun.
Sun Quan sat quietly in the main hall, his face cold.
At the moment, his mind was a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, Sun Quan stood up from his seat. It's just that when he was standing, he was hunched on his back, and his face was a little pale.
Sun Quan at this moment no longer has the former elegance.
What is presented in him is all loneliness.
Sun Quan walked out of the main hall, looked at it, and looked at this beautiful Wu Palace, and couldn't raise his emotions. After standing for a long time, Sun Quan turned around and left, heading for the temple.
Sun Quan was founded as king, and Sun Jian, Sun Ce and others were enshrined in the temple.
Entering the temple, Sun Quan didn't offer incense, so he sat down.
He looked up at Sun Jian and Sun Ce's tablets, and suddenly felt extremely tired.
I'm so tired!
He has been in charge of Wu for all these years, and he is really tired.
"Daddy, big brother, if only you were here. If it were you, what would you do?"
"The state of Wu is going to be destroyed, and the foundation of the three generations of the Sun family is about to be destroyed. β
"Daddy, the child doesn't know what to do. β
Sun Quan chattered and spoke, and his eyes showed a helpless look.
In front of the courtiers and in front of his family, Sun Quan supported himself so that he would not 'show' his cowardly side.
But now, he can't hold it back.
He didn't know where the road was, he didn't know how to go.
Sun Quan said: "Daddy, eldest brother, you say, is Liu Xiu my Sun family's rival?"
"In the past, my father passed through Jingzhou and was ambushed by Huang Zu, so that he died in Jingzhou. β
"The eldest brother has worked hard to 'fine' the country, and I finally have a decent foundation in Jiangdong. β
"The second brother inherited the legacy of the eldest brother and recruited talents in Jiangdong, seeing Liu Biao dying of old age, watching Jingzhou decline day by day, and my Jiangdong becoming stronger and stronger, but Liu Biao's son Liu Xiu appeared. β
"As soon as Liu Xiu appeared, he suppressed me Jiangdong and had no power to fight back. β
"It's too Shi Ci to surrender!"
Lu Su also descended. β
"The generals under his command, those who died in battle, those who were killed were killed. β
"Now, the state of Wu is about to collapse. β
"Could it be that my son really wants to go to Jingzhou and be Liu Xiu's prisoner?"
Sun Quan's eyes showed a deep unwillingness.
He is the king of Wu, and he still has a deep hatred with the Liu family in Jingzhou. Let him give up everything, and then become Liu Xiu's caged bird, Sun Quan would rather die than accept it.
Sun Quan was babbling and talking, but he didn't know that a figure was standing outside the 'door'.
This person is Wu Guotai.
She stood outside the 'door', listening to Sun Quan's babbling words, and her heart was like a knife.
Although she is in the harem, she has also heard about the war situation and knows some about the situation. Today, when she heard the news of Xu Sheng's death, she was worried about Sun Quan, so she asked the 'attendant' and learned that Sun Quan had come to Zongmiao.
Listening to Sun Quan's words, she only felt extremely uncomfortable.
I was panicked.
After standing for a while, Wu Guotai left.
Sun Quan still sat casually in the temple and continued: "Father, brother, how can my son ensure the existence of the Wu State, and how can he leave roots for the Wu State." β
Sitting in the temple, Sun Quan was still chattering.
Gradually, there was no sound in the temple.
And the expression on Sun Quan's face gradually regained his composure. He took off three sticks of incense and lit them, respectfully bowed in front of the temple, and after offering the incense, he turned around and left.
Walking out of the temple, Sun Quan regained the majesty of the king.
His face was calm, and he strode towards the dormitory where Wu Guotai lived in the harem.
He already had an idea for everything that followed.
