"My lord. If we analyze according to the content of the two secret reports before and after, I am afraid that now Jiangdong has gathered a large army and is ready to fight with us, and General Wenyuan's temperament has always been that people do not offend me, and I do not offend people.

"What happened inside Jiangdong, whether Sun Jian is really dead or not, we don't have direct evidence, and it is obviously too hasty to make major changes and decisions just based on Sun Quan's words in Jiangdong. Immediately draft a secret order in the direction of Xuzhou, requiring the Xuzhou Army to defend important cities such as Huailing, Xiapi and Quxian, not to engage in a frontal battle with Jiangdong, and to make a decision after we send someone to find out the truth of the matter!" Zhao Xing thought for a moment, and finally made the decision to avoid Jiangdong.

Lu Xun reminded Zhao Xing and said: "My lord, it will take seven or eight days for the transmission of information, and during this time, if Jiangdong does it and General Wenyuan does not get the instructions of the Crouching Tiger Command, if he can't help but have a hard confrontation with the army crossing the river in Jiangdong, how should it end? After all, the Qinghuai Army has now been out to sea for more than a month, and the actual strength in Xuzhou is insufficient. ”

Zhao Xing held his head between his two thumbs, rubbed his temples, and said leisurely: "If it is really a fight, then we have to transfer troops from the direction of Hanzhong on the Western Front to support the Eastern Front, as for the lack of troops on the Western Front, then we can only find a way from the Western Regions." Since it is impossible to subdue Jiangdong softly, it is better to come hard, but it is just to die some more innocent soldiers and civilians!"

"Well, that's all there is to it. Sun Jian's assassination this time was really unfortunate, but fortunately it did not affect General Taishi's plan to cross to the south, otherwise our entire grand strategy would need to be adjusted. Lu Xun said with some emotion.

What made Zhang Liao feel strange was that until he received Zhao Xing's instructions, Jiangdong's seemingly aggressive army was assembled, but in the end, he did not take a step to cross the river to the north, but only guarded the regiments around Wu County and there was no movement.

This time, it was Sun Jian who followed Lu Su's advice and fooled all forces, including Jin and Zhao Xing.

Sun Jian is actually not dead, he has recovered and can speak under the treatment of the doctor sent by Zhang Liao, but the strange poison in it is still unsolved. It was precisely because Sun Jian woke up, but the poison was not resolved, that he made such a big move, and even put on a posture of wanting to fight to the death with the Jin Kingdom.

Since Sun Jian is fine, the Hua Tuo apprentice sent to Jiangdong by Zhang Liao is naturally fine. Regardless of whether the mastermind behind the assassination of Sun Jian this time is Zhao Xing or not, Lang Zhong who treats people is always not guilty, and Sun Jian will not be angry with Lang Zhong indiscriminately.

The reason why Sun Jian wanted to pretend to be dead as soon as he woke up was because he had a very urgent sense of crisis. As a person concerned, he was absolutely sure that the three assassins launched a deadly attack on him at that time, and their purpose was to kill him on the spot, not whether someone wanted to control him and blackmail Jiangdong as Sun Quan and others speculated.

Sun Jian basically believed Lu Su's words, and Jin Guo and Zhao Xing were not involved in this matter this time. Because from before his assassination to after he fell into a coma, and even now he "cheated death", Xuzhou, which is close to Soochow, has never acted against Jiangdong, and there is even a faint smell of retreat.

Hua Tuo's apprentice said very clearly that what Sun Jian was in was indeed a chronic poison, but it was not within the scope of his understanding, and I am afraid that he could only ask the master to go out of the mountain in person to relieve Sun Jian of this poison. Although this Hua Tuo's master disciple can't cure the poison, his medical skills are not simple, he can cure Sun Jian's external injuries and control the continued spread of toxins in Sun Jian's body, which buys Sun Jian time for healing.

After being convinced that it was not Jin Guo and Zhao Xing who wanted to do it to him, the pressure on Sun Jian's heart was much lighter. He really didn't want to let Eastern Wu fight with the Jin State, because since he led the army to besiege Bingzhou once, the bravery and tenacity of Zhao Xing's soldiers really made him unforgettable for the rest of his life. As long as Zhao Xing didn't want to do it to himself, Sun Jian hadn't paid attention to the rest of the forces, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to observe the reactions of all parties, and at the same time secretly investigate the true identities of the three assassins.

Speaking of which, Sun Jian's fraudulent death this time was still inspired by Zhao Xing's previous use of conspiracy. If he doesn't "die" once, the conspiracy against himself and Soochow will continue in the future. Now that Sun Jian is "dead", the conspirators hiding in the shadows have finally succeeded, and when they get carried away, they will inevitably show their little tails, and even can't wait to come to Jiangdong to collect the fruits of victory, so that Sun Jian, who is hidden behind the scenes, can clearly see who is a friend and who is an enemy.

Although Sun Quan had an opinion of the Jin Kingdom, he was also not of the same mind as the imperial court, so how could he be blinded by lard and take advantage of his father's coma to do the stupid thing of killing his father? Even if he really did this, and succeeded in blaming the Jin State, and even deceived his brother Sun Ce, who was far away in the south, as long as he did something, he would not be able to escape the suspicion of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and others. Just imagine, once Sun Quan's murder of his father and bullying his brother is revealed, where is there a place for him to live in this world?

Because of this, when Sun Quan sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Liao for the second time, he had already received the instructions of his father Sun Jian. Sun Jian did this to test whether the alliance between Eastern Wu and the Jin State was reliable, as for deceiving Zhang Liao and Zhao Xing this time, it was not a big deal, as long as the two families did not really do it, there would be opportunities to make up for and explain in the future. In the future, as long as the real mastermind behind the scenes is found out, Soochow's compensation to Jin Guo and Zhao Xing is likely to be a complete surrender.

After Zhang Liao received the secret letter from Dongwu for the third time, he was furious at that time, and scolded Sun Jian and Sun Quan for a while in front of Gu Yong, the envoy of Dongwu. Gu Yong smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still had to say good things to Zhang Liao with a smiling face, because he came over to ask Zhang Liao this time.

Zhang Liao said angrily: "Sun Wentai is really a good trick this time! It's just a matter of deceiving Yu Wu, and even the King of Pingxi is also making a shabu together, do you really think that we don't dare to do anything to Eastern Wu? Since he is so capable, why don't he find someone to detoxify himself, why bother me Hua Shenyi, the first medical Taoist master of the Jin Kingdom?"

Gu Yong said with a smiling face: "General Wenyuan is angry, this time the lord was also plotted by someone, didn't he already show his heart to King Pingxi in the letter." Now only a few people know about the death of the lord, if it weren't for my relationship with the teacher, I need to cross the river to come to the envoy this time, but I'm afraid that I will be kept in the dark until now. ”

Pang Tong on the side saw that Zhang Liao had finished scolding, so he gave Gu Yong a step and opened his mouth to say: "Mr. Yuansi, please go back and reply to Lord Wu, and say that we will report this matter to King Pingxi as soon as possible." If my estimate is correct, the Hua Shen Doctor will go south by boat soon, since this matter needs to be kept secret from the outside world, and I also ask the Dongwu side to make arrangements, so that Sun Zhoumu will secretly go to the sea on the Jin State ship to receive divine treatment, so that there will be no flaws. ”

Gu Yong listened to Pang Tong's words and was amazed in his heart. He felt that Pang Tong was a first-class strategist valued by Zhao Xing, and in just a few words, he found a good step for Dongwu, and also pointed out a secret and feasible method, and it was really a capable person like Zhou Gongjin and Lu Zijing.

Gu Yong can think so, but he is humble. In fact, he is also a wise man, but he is more suitable to be a diligent and loyal internal affairs official, but he is not good at deceiving others.

History: Gu Yong has been in Wu for 19 years, assisting the government with virtue and making more good words, so that the Eastern Wu State is clean and clear, and the country is rich and strong. In the court, he is impartial and upright, not succumbed to power, although he is always kind and pleasant, but he does not tolerate it. When Gongsun Yuan turned his back on Wei Chen Wu, Gu Yong, like Zhang Zhao, tried his best to dissuade Sun Quan from sending an envoy to reward Gongsun Yuan, but Sun Quan did not listen, he chased him to the palace and bowed to the ground, and continued to admonish, "fighting to the death". Sun Quan ordered him to help him out of the palace left and right, and he said more than that. He attached great importance to state affairs and was loyal to the government, and won the trust and respect of Sun Quan and his courtiers.
