Jiang Ji sent an envoy to Eastern Wu and met with most of the important ministers of Eastern Wu, except for one of the most critical figures.

The first person in the Dongwu military, the leader of the Huaisi Group, the world's famous generals, Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin.

It's not that Jiang Ji doesn't want to meet Zhou Yu, he knows very well the importance of Zhou Yu in Eastern Wu, as long as Zhou Yu can be persuaded to agree to accept Cao Wei's proposition, then this matter is basically more than half successful.

But Jiang Ji didn't see Zhou Yu in the end.

The reason is very simple, since Jiang Ji entered the territory of Soochow, he sent someone to investigate, and learned that after Zhou Yu returned to Jianye from Huainan, he has been recuperating due to illness, and Zhou Yu has been a closed-door guest during this time, so Jiang Ji can only send a message of worship and leave a gift to express condolences, and Jiang Ji can do nothing about the rest.

And Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu, who was supposed to be bedridden to recuperate, appeared in the inner palace of Sun 100,000 of the Great Emperor of Eastern Wu at this time to discuss the proposal put forward by Cao Weifang.

Zhou Yu is indeed sick, since the battle of Qingxu, Zhou Yu returned to Jianye to recuperate due to illness, the situation at that time was indeed quite critical, and even Zhou Yu himself was prepared to survive.

But Sun Quan also needed Zhou Yu's service, all kinds of precious medicinal materials were fully supplied, and he invited Du Du, the eldest disciple of Zhang Ji, from Jingzhou to treat Zhou Yu's illness, and after Du Du's careful recuperation, he finally stabilized Zhou Yu's condition, and then recuperated for half a year, and then slowly recovered.

To a certain extent, Zhou Yu really didn't deceive people, his current physical condition is indeed not suitable for too much work, and the closed-door thanksgiving is not for Jiang Ji alone. But when Sun Quan needed to make a decision, he invited Zhou Yu into the palace to discuss military politics, and Zhou Yu could still do it.

Moreover, this meeting is related to the change of Soochow's foreign policy in the next ten years or even longer, this kind of major event, without Zhou Yu's help, Sun Quan himself is not very at ease.

Therefore, the people who participated in this meeting, in addition to Zhou Yu, the first person in the military, also included Zhang Zhao, the old minister in charge of government affairs, the clan generals Sun Sheng, Sun Shao, and the representatives of the four major families of Wuzhong, Zhu Huan, Gu Yong, and Lu Ji.

Well, there is less Zhang's family advocate Wen.

At this time, Zhang Wen had already been dismissed from all his posts because he angered Sun Quan, and he had not been assigned to the state for the time being.

And Zhang Wen's matter, in fact, it is simply just a matter of political struggle and benefit distribution within Soochow, and there is really no meaning for Ji Han. Zhuge Liang really thought too much this time.

And Zhang Wen's downfall, Sun Quan really can't be blamed, it is indeed Zhang Wen who is a little too unscrupulous.

Zhang Wen has always looked down on the Sun family, thinking that these outsiders have robbed the interests of the Jiangdong people, and Zhang Wen has always thought that Sun Quan's mind is really not good, compared to the atmosphere of the monarchs and ministers on the side of Shu Han who know each other and support each other.

Therefore, Zhang Wen often said bad things about Sun Quan on weekdays, and always preached the harmony of the monarchs and ministers on the side of Shu Han, and secretly belittled Sun Quan's mind.

These words, hearing Sun Quan's ears, are basically equivalent to pointing at his nose and scolding, saying that he doesn't know how to do a good job in internal relations, and he is not as good at employing people as Liu Bei.

Forget it once or twice, Sun Quan still has this measure, but you Zhang Wen not only often says it, but also often promotes this kind of remarks in public, which makes many people in the Wuzhong family really have a good impression of the Ji Han regime.

This is something that Sun Quan cannot tolerate. He is the Emperor of Eastern Wu, you are all courtiers of Eastern Wu, not the courtiers of Ji Han.

In addition, over the years, Wuzhong Zhang's monopolized the right to sell paper and the right to print books from Ji Han, not to mention the huge amount of money, but also to grasp this right to death, no profit margin for the other three major families, and the three major families have been dissatisfied with Wuzhong Zhang's family for a long time.

No one wants to see the birth of the first family in Wuzhong.

When there is no conflict of interest, the four great families can be on the same page, but with enough conflict of interest. In the final analysis, everyone is the head of each family, and they must give priority to their own family interests.

In this way, at the behest of Sun Quan and the acquiescence of the other three families, Zhang Wen was swept to the end and went home to farm and hold the child.

Therefore, such an important meeting naturally does not have Zhang Wen's qualifications to participate.

Even so, the specifications of this meeting are already very high.

Sun Quan didn't talk nonsense either, and went straight to the point.

"Jiang Ji, the envoy of Cao Wei, recently sent my envoy to Dawu, and he must have already visited Zhuqing. What Jiang Ji said, I don't know what Zhu Qing's opinion is?! ”

Jiang Ji's visit to the ministers of Eastern Wu was almost public, and it was impossible for Sun Quan not to know, and what Jiang Ji said was originally intended to be passed on to Sun Quan through the ministers of Eastern Wu, so it was impossible for Sun Quan not to understand.

Now that Sun Quan took the initiative to ask, then as a bigwig of both the military and the government, he must have to express his opinion.

Because Zhou Yu was recuperating from his illness, Jiang Ji was unable to visit Cheng. Although Zhou Yu actually knew the content, at this time, it was inconvenient for Zhou Yu to be the first to speak.

Therefore, the first person to express his opinion was Zhang Zhao.

"This is Cao Wei's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"

Zhang Zhao's characterization of this matter is like this.

Don't really think of Zhang Zhao as a surrender bigwig who only understands government affairs, in fact, Zhang Zhao's strategy is not bad, as far as Cao Wei's careful thinking, Zhang Zhao actually sees it clearly.

"Cao Pi Xiao'er, if you want to lure my Great Wu to attack Shu with profit, break the alliance between the two families, and provoke the two families to fight infighting in order to reap the benefits, such a small plan, how can you hide it from the Supreme." Zhang Zhao continued.

This "supreme" is talking about Sun Quan.

Speaking of which, Sun Quan is also quite screwed.

Probably because of the lack of legitimacy of Sun Quan's claim to be emperor, after being called emperor, Wei and Han both claimed to be the "Son of Heaven", but Sun Quan claimed to be "Emperor Wu", and the ministers called the monarch of the country, Eastern Wu was also unique, calling Sun Quan "Supreme".

There's always a feeling of "I'm just different from you" in it. Everyone calls the emperor is different, one of you is Chan to represent the Han, and the other is to inherit the Han family, our Dawu side belongs to fight the world by themselves, and it has nothing to do with the Han family, and it is natural that the titles are different.

It's hard to tell whether Sun Quan wanted to be a maverick or if he wanted to express his legitimacy as emperor in this way.

Anyway, what Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan was very happy to hear it.

But Sun Quan can't just be happy, he has to discuss things.

"Then according to Zhang Gong's opinion, how to reply to Jiang Ji in this matter?!" Sun Quan asked.

As for the scheme, anyone with a little vision can see through it, but the real problem is that Jiang Ji, this old boy, is not a conspiracy.

"The matter. But it's also difficult. Zhang Zhao glanced at Zhou Yu as he spoke, and then said, "In the past, the Wushu Alliance was just an expedient measure. At that time, Cao Wei was powerful, and we had to hold a group to resist Cao, and now the world is easy to move over time, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han has been based in Guanzhong, and I also went north to seize Huainan, Qingxu and other places, Wu Shu is rising and Cao Wei is disappearing, whether the covenant is or not, all in the thought of the Supreme. ”

There are some words, in fact, there is really no need to say too clearly, everyone is smart, it is impossible to see how the current situation is, otherwise it is not qualified to participate in this meeting.

As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yong immediately picked up and said, "Zhang Gong's words are very true. Now Shu Han according to Yongliang and peep into the Central Plains, has become a climate, although my Dawu according to Qingxu, but Yuzhou, Yanzhou are all plains, my Dawu has no cavalry advantage, more than enough to defend, enterprising enough now offensive and defensive situation, but also please Supreme Mingju. ”

The meaning of these two people's words is to persuade Sun Quan that the current situation is different from before and after Chibi, and there is really no need to stick to that covenant.

Yes, Cao Wei sent Jiang Ji to Jiangdong, and he was indeed uneasy and kind, that is, he had the intention of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, but now the situation, continue to form an alliance with Shu Han to attack Cao Wei, once Cao Wei can't withstand the pressure and withdraw from the Central Plains, then Wu and Shu will inevitably turn their faces.

Instead of being passive at that time, it is better to think about it in advance now, how to take the initiative.

This is the basic tone on the civilian side, and Zhou Yu on the military general's side also sighed deeply.

At this time, Zhou Yu didn't express his position, it was not okay.

"In the past, in Baqiu, Yu had just recovered from a serious illness and had a secret conversation with Zijing. Both of us thought that if Liu Bei went out of Qishan to base Yongliang, and my Dawu went out of Huainan and got Qingxu, the covenant could be annulled. ”

Zhou Yu only said one sentence, and the rest did not have a word of nonsense.

And as soon as this sentence was said, not only Zhang Zhao and others were a little surprised, but Sun Quan was also a little surprised.

Over the years, the change in Zhou Yu's attitude has made everyone think that Zhou Yu is the most determined Covenant faction in Eastern Wu after Lu Su, so that everyone forgets that after the Battle of Chibi, the person who wants to kill Liu Bei the most is actually Zhou Yu.

And now, Zhou Yu suddenly stated that he and Lu Su had also discussed the existence of the covenant and came to a conclusion. This means that even the Covenantists are inclined to abolish the Covenant and readjust their foreign strategy in view of the current situation.

And as soon as Zhou Yu said this, Zhu Huan, Sun Sheng and other generals also knew how to speak.

"Since this is the case, then Jiang Ji's words also have merit!" Sun Sheng, as the general of the clan, immediately said, "Guan Yu in Jingzhou today has not recovered from his serious injuries and cannot be a director, Wang Ji and Xu Shu are not prestigious, if Cao Wei sets off a war in Jingbei and attracts the main force of the Jingzhou army, we can also follow Lu Ziming's strategy and attack Jingzhou by surprise." Even if you can't take Jingzhou and capture Nanjun, it is not difficult to resist Guan Yu according to the Yangtze River. ”

Sun Sheng said this. Sun Quan rolled his eyes.

Really, Sun Quan is really depressed.

The generals of their own clan, in fact, still have some talents, the older generation of Sun He, Sun Jing, Sun Huan of the Mesozoic Generation, Sun Yu, Sun Jiao, etc., in fact, their abilities are not bad.

But it's strange, none of these people live long, Sun Yu, who lived the longest, died of illness at the age of thirty-nine, and Sun Huan died at the age of twenty-five.

There's no way, it's the only way to choose a general in a short man.

Let's take a look at this idea now, let's not talk about why Cao Wei helped you attract the main force of the Jingzhou army, just say that our own side, especially Jiangxia is not in our hands, what do you use to surprise attack Nanjun?!

It's really a blind man to guard Jiangxia's clerk.

Sun Quan directly ignored Sun Sheng, turned his gaze to Zhou Yu, and asked, "Since Gong Jin is also in favor of destroying the alliance, is there a good plan?!" ”

Zhou Yu hesitated, looked at Sun Quan, and finally said, "Jingzhou is in a hurry. But it is not necessarily undesirable. ”

Sun Quan's eyes suddenly lit up.
