Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 291 Deng Zhi visits Wu
Sun Quan was still a little dissatisfied with the envoy sent by Old Liu. He sent an unknown person over for such a big event. Did Liu Bei and his son really not intend to form an alliance with Jiangdong?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's face sank as he entered the hall.

But after all, this moment is the same as the other moment, and now he doesn't have the capital to be unprepared to see him like he did in history.

Sun Quan summoned Zhang Wen and Deng Zhi with some pessimism. As soon as they came in, he looked at Deng Zhi.

However, I saw that this person's gait was calm and his face was as usual. He did not show any panic or worry because he was in Wu. He did not look like an ordinary person.

While he was sizing up Deng Zhi, Deng Zhi, who had just arrived in Wudi, was also sizing him up.

Sun Quan's appearance was different from ordinary people. Although he was not very handsome, he still had an intimidating power.

But it is different from Liu Bei's majesty that makes people feel friendly at first sight, but makes people dare not be presumptuous.

Sun Quan gave him the impression that you couldn't see through it. No matter whether this person's expression was joy, anger, or sadness, you could never see through what he was thinking.

"I don't know who the envoy is and what he is here for?" Sun Quan asked knowingly.

"Deng Zhi, Minister of the Han Dynasty." Deng Zhi stepped forward and answered with his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Then he put his hands behind his hands and smiled with a little arrogance, "I am here to fulfill the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to save Jiangdong from danger."

Sun Quan did not expect that an unknown person would have such courage and courage to say such big words in the land of Jiangdong, so he did not react immediately.

"Hmph! I don't know what merits I have achieved, what classics I have written? But what a big tone!"

Sun Quan didn't respond, but Zhang Zhao couldn't help it.

He was originally not optimistic about the alliance between Liu and Cao Cao, and he was even more resentful that Zhang Wen, a rude junior, could use this incident to reinstate his official position, or even be promoted again.

Having served as an official under Sun Quan for many years, he knew very well how petty his lord was.

When he first surrendered as Lord of Chibi, Sun Quan had hated him for many years. There is still a gap between them to this day. How could he not know it?

However, Zhang Wen, who praised Shu Han so much, was looked at in a different light!
All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and now seeing this unknown guy being so arrogant, he was naturally angry.

Deng Zhi didn't show any signs of anger. He just raised his hands towards Zhang Zhaoyi and said, "I wonder what your surname is?"

"It's easy to say that I am General Suiyuan, followed by Zhang Zhao, the Marquis of Quan." Zhang Zhao said proudly and raised his head.

"...Hehehe." Deng Zhi was deliberately stunned at first, and then chuckled as if he couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh? Why are you laughing!"

Zhang Wen looked at Deng Zhi with an expression of embarrassment. He was not afraid that Deng Zhi would suffer a loss, but that Deng Zhi was too ruthless and would embarrass Jiangdong officials and affect the alliance's plans...

Zhang Wen had a conversation with Deng Zhiduo along the way, and Zhang Wen knew that this was not an easy person.

Deng Zhi stopped laughing and said: "A certain talent is really not worth mentioning under your Majesty's command. His intelligence is not as good as Kong Ming's, his filial piety and uprightness, and his courage is not as good as Guan Zhang Zhao Ma. Even though the prince is young, his wisdom and courage are still better than Zhi Yuan's."

"It took many years for Zhi to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. He started at a very young age. Now he is occupying the position of Minister and has not made any great achievements. When I think about it, I often feel ashamed of Your Majesty..."

After some words of self-effacement, he changed the subject and said: "Although Zhi is not talented, he still knows that when the Lord is in danger, the ministers should do their best to repay the kindness of knowing and encountering him.

"I would never dare to eat my master's salary, but in the face of danger I urge him to surrender to the enemy. Such an act of betraying his master in pursuit of glory is really despised by others and should be spit on."

After saying this, Deng Zhi flicked his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back again, no longer looking at Zhang Zhao.

"You...you!" Zhang Zhao's face turned red with anger, his chest heaved, but he couldn't refute even a single sentence.

Everyone knew that Deng Zhi was scolding him, but the other party didn't mention Zhang Zhao at all, and everything he said was generally accepted truth.

If he went to refute, wouldn't that be like taking the initiative to scold... "In front of a powerful enemy, the envoy came from afar to only use his words. Isn't it unworthy of the Lord of Shu?" Gu Yong said lightly.

Deng Zhi glanced at him and sneered: "At this critical moment of life and death, my ministers did not think about sharing the Lord's worries and promoting alliances, but opposed it and used sarcastic words. Isn't it unworthy of the Lord Wu?"

"This……"

Deng Zhi answered the two Jiangdong ministers correctly one after another. His expression did not change, he did not feel inferior, but he did not lose his gentlemanly demeanor, which made the Jiangdong ministers look up to him with admiration.

At the same time, I am also worried. A little-known figure in Shu has such grace. There are really many talents under Liu Bei's command...

Sun Quan twisted his beard and smiled. Two of his ministers were criticized one after another, but there was no anger on his face.

This time he was really the same as he was, and I was really happy.

Previously, he was still worried that Liu Bei was not sincere in his alliance, but was deliberately perfunctory. He only wanted to take advantage of Cao Pi's troops and sent such an unknown person as an envoy to Jiangdong.

But now it seems that he underestimated this person.

"Hahahahaha, sir, his conversation is extraordinary, but he has the style of Kong Ming in his time. I still miss him a lot when I recall the Red Cliff, when you and I worked together to defeat the powerful enemy and wiped out Cao's army."

Sun Quan deliberately mentioned it in order to highlight what happened during the honeymoon period between the two families, to ease the atmosphere, and to pave the way for talks about an alliance later.

Deng Zhi knew this well. Although Soochow wanted something from itself, it was an indisputable fact that both of them would benefit from joining forces at this time.

If the talks really break down, it will be of no benefit to our Han Dynasty’s Northern Expedition.

He seemed to be moved by Sun Quan's words, his expression gradually softened, and he cupped his hands and said: "Master Wu is so complimentary. Zhi Shicai's words were too extreme and offended many famous ministers in Jiangdong. Fortunately, please don't be offended."

Seeing Deng Zhi walking down the steps, Sun Quan once again felt his sincerity in negotiating, and suddenly smiled.

It doesn't matter if you get the upper hand at first, and you don't have to be afraid if you want to seize the initiative. Now the situation in Jiangdong is unfavorable, and he, Sun Quan, recognizes it.

I'm just afraid that the other party is not sincere at all.

"Eh~ How can we, the people from Jiangdong, be so small? Sir, you are overthinking. Nowadays, Cao and Wei dominate nine of the states in the world, and Sun and Liu are closely dependent on each other. Although there are many misunderstandings, we should put aside our past grudges and fight against powerful enemies together. ." Sun Quan smiled and turned to the topic.

Deng Zhi also said sternly: "Yes, what Lord Wu said is reasonable. Cao Pi killed the king and usurped the Han Dynasty, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. Lord Wu is wise and powerful, so I think he will not help Zhou to do evil. He should help the king and support the country, and bring peace and prosperity to the Han Dynasty."

"Now that your majesty has seen that Cao Pi wants to send troops to attack Wu, he is afraid that Jiangdong will not be able to match the strength of Cao Wei's army. Remembering that the Lord of Wu's previous surrender to Cao was a temporary expedient, he sent his ministers to make peace in order to mobilize all the people in Jingyi. Help Lord Wu!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed and held his hands in front of him with great courtesy.

However, Sun Quan's expression became stiff after hearing these words.

Liu Bei's ascension to the throne will naturally be announced to the world. He knew it before Deng Zhi came.

What this person said now seemed polite or even flattering, but in fact it also contained conditions and threats.

The first sentence points out the conditions, which is a matter of stance: it is okay to send troops, but you, Sun Quan, must stand in the Han Dynasty.

In the world today, apart from Liu Bei and his family, where else is there any influence from the Han Dynasty?
The second sentence contains an implicit threat. If you don't straighten your position and plan to steal the chicken...you have to think clearly about the consequences.

Sun Quan secretly cursed in his heart. It seems that this person cannot be influenced by just a few words of praise and flattery. He looked like he was impressed just now, but now he changed immediately when talking about things.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Cao Cao's thief goes against the laws of nature and people's hearts. It is right for the whole world to attack him! We in Jiangdong are full of talented people and well-trained soldiers. If Your Majesty can put aside the past grudges, make the Sun and Liu Dynasties repair each other, and the Han Dynasty will be prosperous. The name of the dynasty will go down in history!”

An Hanxing Liu?then what do I do?
Even Sun Quan's palace could not help but look at Zhang Wen with his hands half-opened and his face flushed.

You...where the hell are you from? !
