Han Xiang

Chapter 268 I'm OK

In ancient times, information was blocked, and military generals who wanted to become famous quickly had to perform astonishing feats like Guan Yu beheading Yan Liang.

Although Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's arm, his record does not have any shining points, and some of them are rather embarrassing records.

Everyone admires Qiang, and he has no sense of existence in the eyes of other princes.

Sun Quan didn't know Xiahou Dun's strength, so he only nodded slightly after hearing Lu Su's introduction, and didn't make a final decision on the spot, but he had already made up his mind to send troops.

The thing that Long Xiang can defeat, how can he pinch it with his own hands?

"Zi Jing's words are justified, I will immediately call the ministers to discuss."

In the middle of Sun Quan's conversation, he frowned and asked: "The Shi Fei Canal will be dug in June. I can mobilize troops and horses, prepare warships and food in these two months. I am afraid that Cao Cao will abandon Yuan Shao to help when the army marches to Shouchun. Yuan Shao has been defeated."

Lu Su shook his head and smiled rightly: "Marquis Wu has worried. Although Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu, he still dominates the four northern states. In terms of strength, he is stronger than Cao Cao. The Battle of Guandu has been fought for almost a year. How could it take two months this time? Is it over? If Cao Cao voluntarily withdraws his troops halfway, Yuan Shao will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and it will be beneficial to Jiangdong."

Sun Quan thought so, and said to himself: "It seems that I have to send people north as soon as possible to inform Jiangdong of my intention to attack Shouchun, so I should give Yuan Shao some confidence."

"This plan is very clever. If Yuan Shao gets Jiangdong's support, he will definitely bite Cao Cao to death on the battlefield. Wu Hou can just make a profit." Lu Su echoed.

"It all depends on Zijing's point."

When Sun Quan was modest, his suspicion made him worry again, so he changed the subject and asked Lu Su for advice: "Zijing, if I and Yuan Shao jointly attack Cao Cao this time, won't Yuan Shao take advantage of the situation and go south after victory? Will Jiangdong's busy work be in vain?" field, end up marrying someone else?"

Lu Su was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, what are you thinking, kid?Thinking about dividing the spoils without sending troops?Even if Yuan Shao can really take advantage of the situation and invade the Central Plains, it is his fault.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's main force fought decisively in the north, but you were still thinking about how to deal with Xiahou Dun.

With such a mind, is he worthy of being in the Central Plains?
Lu Su was teasing in his heart, but on the surface he had to fool Sun Quan.

"Wu Hou is worried that there is a possibility, but this battle has a greater chance against Jiangdong. It must be easier to attack Shouchun guarded by Xiahou Dun than to defeat Cao Cao's main force. As long as you can quickly take Shouchun, and then rely on the mobility of Jiangdong warships, you can win in an instant. You can come to Xudu in a short time, and then you can replace Cao Cao to control the court, and use Cao Cao's method to coerce the emperor to order the princes, even if you change the dynasty."

Hearing about the change of dynasty, Sun Quan felt like sitting on a cloud.

These four words are too attractive to ambitious politicians.

It has to be said that Lu Su's inference just now is logical.

Sun Quan believed that if he controlled the emperor, he would naturally have everything that Cao Cao had. Even if he could not become emperor soon, he could conquer the Quartet in the name of the court, and it should not be difficult to finally become the king.

Sun Quan couldn't help himself, he left the table and walked in front of Lu Su, held his hand, his eyes were full of solemnity: "Zi Jing's big plan is exactly the same as what I see, this day, I will give you my son's respect."

"This is the destiny of Marquis Wu. Even without Lu Su, you can achieve great things."

If it weren't for Long Xiang's repeated warnings, how could Lu Su say such words against his will?He never liked to use tricks with words, but for the revival of the Han Dynasty, Long Xiang was willing to sacrifice his reputation as a "two-faced sword", and some sacrifices were inevitable.

Sun Quan pushed the boat along the way, and once again wooed Lu Su: "It's the right time for a man to make great achievements. Zijing is planning a hegemony for me today. Why don't you stay by my side for a long time and ask for advice sooner or later."

"This." Lu Su bowed his head in embarrassment: "I remember I said it last time. My mother is used to the climate in Huainan, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to leave Hefei now. Besides, General Long is attached to Jiangdong. Su is also a member of Marquis Wu. It doesn't matter if he is by your side or not. Be jealous of people around you."

After hearing this, Sun Quan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lu Su didn't want to come to Wu. He didn't want to be jealous of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others. He stroked Lu Su's back and drew a cake.

"Zijing wants to be filial, and I can't stop it. When you become the master of Xudu in the future, I will call you to be an official in the court. You will not be allowed to refuse at that time."

"Eh"

Lu Su responded tactfully, but in his heart he said that Sun Quan was just dreaming.

Do you really think that if you take down Shouchun, you can take down Xudu?Cao Cao won't stay on guard?Guangling Chen Deng would turn a blind eye?

According to the previous analysis with Liu Ye and Long Xiang, Sun Quan posed a military threat in Shouchun, which could only distract Cao Cao in the northern battlefield. The direct beneficiary was Yuan Shao, and the indirect beneficiary was Liu Bei.

As the saying goes, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, waiting for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Quan to fight each other, so that Liu Bei, who is the least powerful, can catch the leak. Long Xiang's calculations are painstaking.

Sun Quan was delighted with the good idea, so he stayed Lu Su in Wu and entertained him warmly for two days. During this period, he asked Zhang Hong to get to know Xiahou Dun.

Zhang Hong served as the censor in Xudu. He knew about Henan Yin Xiahou Dun, so he expressed his opinion objectively to Sun Quan. He said that Xiahou Dun was very competent as Henan Yin, but except for killing for his teacher when he was young, he had no record of extraordinary bravery. .

Rescue Juancheng was captured alive by Lu Bu's soldiers, rescued Xiaopei was defeated by Lv Bu's general Gao Shun, Qi County Chasing Bridge Rui was shot blind in the left eye by Cao Xing.
One after another, one by one, it seems that Xiahou Dun is not good at martial arts.

Sun Quan's confidence doubled, and a feeling of "I can do it if I go" came to my heart.

As soon as Lu Su was sent away, Sun Quan called a group of ministers to discuss sending troops to Shouchun.

Since Sun Ce left Yuan Shu, Jiangdong has been fighting almost every year. The war consumes a lot of money and food, making the local gentry miserable. They are eager to recuperate and accumulate wealth, but Sun Quan does not give them the opportunity.

The main reason for Sun Quan's killing spree in Lujiang was to frighten the gentry in Jiangdong, to show that he was a ruthless person just like his elder brother Sun Ce.

Attacking Shouchun at this time is tantamount to declaring war with Cao Cao, and there will be no peace in Jiangdong since then.

The Jiangdong gentry only wanted to keep their status and wealth, and didn't want to empty themselves for the Sun family's ambitions, but they were also afraid of Sun Quan's actions in Lujiang, so they signaled Zhang Zhao to come out and oppose.

Sun Ce entrusted Zhang Zhao alone to assist the government. In order to quickly stabilize the political situation in Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao and the gentry compromised with each other, reached a tacit understanding with each other, and exchanged many benefits.

Zhang Zhaona was short-handed and was the first to stand up to persuade Sun Quan.

"My lord, the rebellion in the mountains and mountains has not been resolved, the troubles of Guangling and Chen Deng have not been eliminated, and the threat of Jiangxia Huangzu is still there. Now the time to go north has not come. It is better to accumulate money and food, rest and recuperate. After cutting off the troubles, it will not be too late to enter the map."

As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Zuo Sima Gu Yong, Kuaiji Gong Cao Yufan and others all came out to join him.

Seeing the unanimous voice of the people, Sun Quan wondered that Zhang Zhao was mixing with the locals, so he asked coldly, "When can we cut off the future troubles that Mr. Zhang said?"

"It's hard to say. How can there be a fixed date for this kind of thing? My lord just needs to work hard, and there will be opportunities sooner or later."

Zhang Zhao stroked his mottled beard and shook his head gently.

Seeing this, Sun Quan stretched out his long sleeves, leaned forward, and asked again: "People say that this opportunity must never come again. My brother encountered this opportunity last year in the Yuan Cao War, and now there is a second opportunity. Next time, Zhang Gong thinks there will be more in the future?"

"This"

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "It's not known yet."
