Jiangdong, Wu County.

Wuhou Mansion

In the study, Zhang Zhao sat opposite Sun Quan, telling what he had seen and heard in Jingzhou.

The more Sun Quan listened, the more he felt heavy.

Liu Xiu was too ferocious, and the power of the rhubarb crossbow and catapult under his command was so huge. Before that, Liu Xiu and Jiangdong had never used such a weapon, but now that it is taken out, it undoubtedly has a great deterrent effect.

It's horrible

In Sun Quan's heart, such a thought was born.

If the next battle is to take out such a weapon, how can he resist it

Sun Quan took a deep breath and asked, "Gong Zhang, did Liu Xiu once say that he wanted to attack Jiangdong?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "Back to the lord, during the old minister's stay in Jingzhou, Liu Xiu did not put forward such a statement. Lao Chen estimated that Liu Xiugang took over Jingzhou, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that he will not send troops to attack Jiangdong again. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhao said with a straight face: "But the old minister thinks that once Liu Xiu relaxes his breath, he will definitely send troops." Liu Xiu was in charge of Jingzhou, with Liu Bei and Cao Cao to the north and Jiangdong to the east. It was impossible to let Liu Xiu go north to attack Cao Cao. Therefore, Liu Xiu's only goal is us. Because of this, Lao Chen contacted Zhuge Liang and Cheng Yu during his stay in Xiangyang. ”

Sun Quan asked, "What is the result?"

Zhang Zhao replied: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there is a good consensus on the conversation with Zhuge Liang. After all, Liu Xiu was in charge of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was under even more pressure. Liu Bei is a hero, he doesn't want to be suppressed by Liu Xiu, so he can only resist. Zhuge Liang is willing to ally with us and attack Jingzhou with us. But Cao Cao bit it to death and didn't let go. ”

When it comes to Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao also has a headache, the other party's conditions are too harsh.

Sun Quan asked, "Why don't you let go?"

Zhang Zhao replied: "Cheng Yu wants the lord to send hostages to Xu County, otherwise he will not form an alliance with the lord." Cao Cao decided that the situation in Jiangdong was critical, so Cheng Yu did not let go. ”

Sun Quan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao deceived people too much, and he threatened Benhou at the beginning and asked Benhou to send hostages to Xu County. Now it's coming again, it's impossible. ”

"Since Cheng Yu doesn't agree to the alliance, he doesn't care about it for the time being. ”

"Now Liu Bei and we have the same goal and are standing on the same line. ”

"Gong Zhang, you send someone to contact Liu Bei, reach a consensus as soon as possible, and prepare to attack Liu Xiu. ”

Sun Quan had an urgent look in his eyes, and said, "Liu Xiu is adjusting Jingzhou and accumulating strength. We must not slow down, we must speed up, set a time for sending troops as soon as possible, and then work together to attack Jingzhou. If Liu Xiu is not solved, there will always be a thorn in Ben Hou's heart. ”

"Yes"

Zhang Zhao nodded and wrote things down.

"Newspaper"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Zhu Zhi's voice came: "Lord, Zhu Zhi has an urgent matter to report." ”

"Come in"

Sun Quan replied, and Zhu Zhi pushed open the door and entered the study directly.

Zhu Zhi had an anxious and angry look on his face, and after he bowed to Sun Quan, he sat down in the room and said, "Lord, I just got the news that Lu Su did not die, but now he has become the military advisor of the Third Army under Liu Xiu. ”

brush

Sun Quan's face turned red and turned red.

A wave of anger surged from Sun Quan's heart, swirling in his chest. Sun Quan had nowhere to vent his anger, he directly grabbed the inkstone on the desk and smashed it on the ground.

"How is it possible that Lu Su is not dead, how did he become Liu Xiu's military advisor. ”

Sun Quan was furious and roared loudly.

In Sun Quan's heart, who is the most important of the military generals under his command

There is no doubt that it is Lu Su

Whether it is Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, or even Zhu Zhi, they are not the most important people in Sun Quan's heart. Because these people were all important ministers who Sun Ce entrusted Gu before he died, not Sun Quan single-handedly.

These people naturally have a trace of estrangement.

Lu Su is different, Lu Su was picked up by Sun Quan and is Sun Quan's confidant.

Once, Lu Su and Sun Quan had a long talk all night, talking about the situation, and specially planning for him the next direction and arrangement of Jiangdong.

To put it bluntly, according to Sun Quan's conception, Lu Su is the one who will take over Zhou Yu's position in the future, and he will be the one who will be in charge of Jiangdong's military power, but now, there is news that Lu Su is still alive, and he is still working for Liu Xiu.

Lu Su died, Sun Quan was very sad, and even personally set up a tomb for Lu Su. Now, everything has changed, and Lu Su has also surrendered, which is difficult for Sun Quan's heart to accept.

Sun Quan asked: "How is it possible, how can Lu Su surrender?"

In Sun Quan's heart, he still didn't believe it.

Zhu Zhi replied: "My lord, according to the news that came back, after Lu Su was held hostage by Liu Xiu and left Jiangdong, halfway through, Liu Xiu deliberately spread the news that Lu Su had faked his death. It is estimated that Liu Xiu should have asked Lu Su to hide. Now, Lu Su has officially surfaced. In fact, as soon as Lu Su died, his family disappeared. This situation is also corroborated in disguise, Lu Su had already surrendered to Liu Xiu. ”

"Lu Su, hateful, should be killed, should be killed"

Sun Quan clenched his fists and pounded the desk, the anger in his heart could not be calmed.

Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Lord, now is not the time to be angry. Liu Xiu has a lot of talents, and Liu Xiu himself is even more treacherous and cunning. Now, we have to find a way to deal with Jingzhou. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhao asked, "Junli, you just mentioned a problem. Lu Su became the military division of the Third Army under Liu Xiu, the so-called Third Army, what's going on"

Zhu Zhi replied: "Now, Liu Xiu has re-established three armies. The First Army was led by Wen Ping and stationed in Jiangling County, Nan County, with Xu Shu, the Second Army under the command of Huang Zhong and stationed in Youxian County, Changsha County, with Ma Liang, and the Third Army under the command of Zhao Yun and stationed in Qianling County, Wuling County, with Lu Su. ”

"These three armies are in the north, west and east of Jingzhou. The post concluded that Liu Xiu wanted to control Jingzhou through this arrangement. ”

Zhu Zhi continued: "At present, it is not clear the strength of these three armies for the time being. ”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhao showed a solemn look in his eyes, and said, "Liu Xiu's methods are too old and spicy, they are simply demonic. With this move, he can control Jingzhou in a short period of time. ”

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and said, "Lord, Liu Xiu is already acting quickly. We can't delay any longer, we can't wait any longer in = we must negotiate with Liu Bei as soon as possible, and then attack Jingzhou. ”

Sun Quan's mind was full of Lu Su's figure.

Scenes replay in my mind.

It's a pity that Lu Su has surrendered now.

When Zhang Zhao saw Sun Quan's appearance, he was anxious for a while, and scolded loudly: "Lord, anger is useless. Please cheer up and face Liu Xiu. As long as the lord defeats Liu Xiu, he will capture Lu Su again. When the time comes, bring Lu Su to the lord. Ask Lu Su again why he surrendered. ”

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became angry. He nodded, and muttered, "Yes, you must defeat Liu Xiu, and you must capture Lu Su alive." ”

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and ordered: "Gong Zhang, there is no need to arrange for someone to go to Liu Bei, you go to Xinye to negotiate with Liu Bei in person." Ben Hou empowers you to act cheaply, and you can make any decision you want. As long as Ben Hou has the result, he must ally with Liu Bei and attack Liu Xiu together. ”

In Sun Quan's mind, he only thought about defeating Liu Xiu.

Up to now, under Sun Quan's command, Zhang Hong and Zhou Tai have died, Lu Su has surrendered, Tai Shici has been captured, and Lu Meng has not been heard. It can be said that it was a huge blow to Sun Quan.

Zhang Zhao replied: "Rest assured, the lord will definitely complete the task." Standing up, Zhang Zhao bowed to Sun Quan, then turned around and left the study.

After Zhang Zhao left, Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi and instructed: "Junli, pass the news to the hands of the Grand Governor, and let the Grand Governor prepare for war and be prepared." ”

"No"

Zhu Zhi nodded, then turned around and retreated
