Yu Fu once persuaded Wang Lang to surrender to Sun Ce, and later helped Sun Ce persuade Hua Xin to surrender, and his kung fu was very good.

Zhang Zhao frowned, and saw Yu Fu and Gu Yong come to find him together, indicating that the local clan had reached an agreement.

As Sun Ce's trusted minister, Zhang Zhao could not be easily convinced.

Zhang Zhao did not blame Yu for his rebellion, but explained for Sun Quan: "The main public soldiers are more frequent, but the starting point is always good, and he is still young after all, why don't we take a long-term view."

"Young? In the long run? Heh."

Yu Fu sneered and argued: "Long Xiang's age is not much better than him, but in terms of mentality, strategy, and use of soldiers, which side is not better than him?" Mr. Zibu has been to Hefei, and he knows that the people there live and work in peace and contentment, which is like our Jiangdong people who are not happy? Is it really worth waiting for such a lord? ”

"But after all"

Zhang Zhao was about to open his mouth to refute, but Gu Yong also began to interject and persuade:

"Mr. is a man of deep strategy, now Longxiang has occupied Hefei, if he takes Jiangdong on behalf of the Sun family, I believe that Yangzhou will soon be able to return to peace, why guard Wu Hou and other changes? Our Jiangdong was not surnamed Sun originally, please Mr. Li people first. ”

After listening to Gu Yong's words, Zhang Zhao suddenly fell silent.

Indeed, Jiangdong was not originally surnamed Sun.

From Sun Ce to Sun Quan, it was only a few years, and the locals were even hostile to the Sun family.

"What does Yuan Si want me to do?"

When Zhang Zhao said this, it meant that he had approved the surrender.

Gu Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and then pulled Yu to bow his hand, and then said sonorously:

"Mr. is the head of Sun Bofutuo's lonely ministers and ministers, and he has the right to abolish the establishment, and now the officials in the city are willing to surrender, but the old department of the Sun family like Zhu Junli is estimated to not be easy to betray the Sun family, and he needs to persuade him with prestige, if he can resolve a war on this, the people of Wu will be grateful for your kindness."

Zhang Zhao replied with empty eyes: "Junli was born and died with General Wentai, and it is too difficult to persuade him to surrender, but he is also a local in Jiangdong, and he can't bear to see the lives ruined, so I can only unite Zigang (Zhang Hong), Wenbiao (Qin Song) and others to exert pressure, so that he can first make a false deal with Long Xiang, as for whether he will sincerely surrender, it has to rely on Long Xiang's true ability." ”

"That's what we mean."

Gu Yong and Yu Tuo are both local clans, and they don't care who is the lord of Jiangdong.

Sun Quan has been reckless in the past few years, and he offended the Gu and Zhang families in the Yao Ji trading house, and now Long Xiang uses Wu County as a granary, and they began to sway so quickly, also to protect the family wealth.

The Zhu family wanted to redeem Zhu Huan, and the Lu family and the Sun family had an old feud, and the head of the family, Lu Yi, had a good impression of Long Xiang, so Wu Jun, Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang had secretly defected.

Counting the Yu family of Huiji, and the anti-Sun forces contacted by Yao Xuan, most of the local scholars in Jiangdong supported Long Xiang to replace Sun Quan.

Gu Yong and Yu turned their words and left, leaving Zhang Cheng, who was going to prepare the wine and food, at a loss.

"Father, what about them? The kitchen is already being prepared."

"They went back in advance, you go to invite Ziyu and Mancai as originally planned, and let the kitchen continue to prepare, so that they can accompany your father to get drunk."

"Yui."

Seeing Zhang Cheng leave, Zhang Zhao also walked to the door with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the dark courtyard in front of him, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on the old man's face, and he said in his heart that if Sun Bofu didn't die, it would be good that he would never fall into this situation.

But it's okay, the lord's mind is too heavy.

For a long time, something will happen sooner or later.

At that moment, Zhang Zhao recalled many old things, and his eyes became tenacious.

At the beginning, Tuo Gu was forcibly robbed of his demeanor by Zhou Yu, and finally had to decide the situation by himself.

Mission dictates.

The long night will pass, and the dawn will come.

Zhang Zhao chatted with Zhuge Jin and Yan Jian until late at night, and started running early the next morning.

Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Sun Shao and other important ministers of Sun Ceshi were all objects that Zhang Zhao needed to persuade and woo.

As for the local officials selected by Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao had made an agreement with Gu Yong and Yu Chuan last night, and the two of them would take care of everything.

Loyalty, because the price of betrayal is not high enough.

In the past, Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, and the reason why Xun Yu and others tried their best to help Cao Cao was because not only Cao Cao himself was eloquent, but also related to the rise and fall of the Yingchuan Shi clan.

And Zhang Zhao and other important ministers in Jiangdong are mostly outsiders from Huaisi, they don't have much to protect, and they haven't established a deep master-servant relationship with Sun Quan.

It is human nature to be self-serving.

People always make choices that maximize their own interests.

A handful of great people who were able to overcome their nature became sages who sang the praises of virtue in the world.

It's a pity that in this era, there are no sages in Koto.

In less than a day, Zhang Zhao connected to seventy or eighty people, but Zhu Zhi, who held the power of the army, was not among them.

In the evening, under the leadership of Zhang Zhao, they went to the Taishou Mansion to force Zhu Zhi to surrender.

The influx of the black and oppressive crowd made Zhu Zhi, who had arranged the city defense in the council hall, mistakenly think that there were rebellious people entering the palace to rebel, so he drew his sword to meet it.

But when Zhu Zhi arrived at the gate of the palace, he found that it was Zhang Zhao who led the hundred officials.

"Zibu? What do you mean by that? ”

"Junli, Long Xiang has besieged the city for several days, and there is no news from the outside world, it seems that the Sun family's qi has been exhausted, and the people in the city will be devastated, so it is better to open the city and surrender."

"What?"

Zhu Zhi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and then pointed at Zhang Zhao and asked sharply, "Do you know what you're talking about?" How can this come out of your mouth? You're Bo Fu's Trusted Minister! ”

"How can you forget?" Zhang Zhao smiled helplessly, "Bo Fu asked me on his deathbed, Zhong Mou can help him, and if he can't, he will change to others, the lord has been in power for several years, and now that this situation is like this, I am also carrying out Bo Fu's will." ”

"You really want to change, and you can only change it in the Sun family, what is it to surrender to Long Xiang?" Zhu Zhi's face was gloomy.

Zhang Zhao smiled contemptuously: "Jiangdong is not from the Sun family, Brother Junli is from Jiangdong, don't you need me to say more?" Although Long Xiang came from a humble background, he is a famous general Long and later, he is a broken general of the imperial court, why can't he vote for him? ”

"Zibu, and Er, are you sure you want to rebel?"

Zhu Zhi raised his sword and scanned everyone, and a fierce light shot out of his black eyes.

Everyone saw the cold mang's eyes flashing, but Zhang Zhao took a step forward and asked loudly: "Junli wants to kill us?" Are you good at facing reality? Even if it's a hypocrisy? Are you going to guard the Sun family? ”

Zhu Zhi was just scaring everyone, and after listening to Zhang Zhao's advice, his tone softened again.

"Zibu, since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been the second master, my dignified husband, how can I bend my knees to my child? Hurry up and persuade the hundred officials to go back, and I'll treat you as if you haven't come. ”

"Alas, it's hard to collect the water"

"Report!"

When Zhang Zhao was sighing, he heard the scouts outside the mansion running and shouting, as if there was an urgent military situation, and everyone in the palace was forced to look at the past.

The scout ran to the bottom of the steps, clenched his fists and reported to Zhu Zhi: "General, the east gate and the north gate were suddenly opened, and the soldiers and horses outside the city are taking advantage of the situation to attack the city. ”

"What?"
