The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 736 Peace or War
Soon, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Kan Ze, Yan Tian and other important advisers from Jiangdong were all in place.Sun Quan stopped hiding it and announced the topic directly, which caused a little commotion among these people.But these people are not ordinary people after all, so they calmed down very quickly.

As a result, Jiangdong people habitually began to divide their positions again.

Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin formed a faction, the main peace faction.The two advocated that under the current situation that is very unfavorable to the enemy, someone should be ordered to chase Jiangdong special envoy Zhang Wen, and let him go to Chengdu to seek peace with Liu Bei as quickly as possible.In fact, advocating harmony seems to be Zhang Zhao's position when facing foreign enemies.

But Kan Ze has always been a full-fledged main fighter, and this time he has also attracted Yan Yan, an eloquent guy.

Yan Yan, courtesy name Mancai, was born in Pengcheng.Less procrastination in learning, good at "Poetry", "Book", "Three Rites", and "Shuowen".This person was very appreciated by Sun Quan. After Lu Su died of illness, Sun Quan actually wanted to use him to replace Lu Su, which is really awesome.But what's even more amazing is that he didn't accept Sun Quan's appointment and insisted on refusing to take up the post.The reason is very simple, he knows that he is only a literati and doesn't know about marching and fighting.This is a very humble and self-aware character.

Therefore, this time Kan Ze has the support of people like Yan Yan, Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin have always had the advantage over Kan Ze, and it seems that they have been drawn a lot closer.

As for Gu Yong, he is still the same, he always likes to be wise and protect himself, unless he needs to come out immediately to break the deadlock like when he was in Nanjun, otherwise he will not express his position easily.Therefore, Gu Yong is still a neutral faction.

Therefore, the main peace faction and the main war faction were arguing endlessly for a while, which really made Sun Quan feel dizzy.

Sun Quan should be said to be a very wise monarch, who has a deep insight into the situation in the court.Although he felt that the opinions of these ministers could not be disputed, which annoyed him, he could actually see the key points at a glance.

Therefore, when the court meeting was dissolved that day, Sun Quan asked everyone to go back and think about what to do. After coming back to the court meeting tomorrow, there was only one person left alone - Gu Yong.

Sun Quan has already seen that Gu Yong, a neutral faction, is actually the most critical person who can finally break the deadlock, and he can even be called "Mr. Key".As long as he stands on either side of the main peace faction or the main war faction, that side will be able to gain an advantage over the opponent.However, it should be said that Gu Yong may still be inclined to support Zhang Zhao. In many aspects of Jiangdong, he has always played the role of Zhang Zhao's second.

In fact, Gu Yong's current role can be compared with a very appropriate one.This is like the U.S. general election. When the staunch voters of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have long been clearly divided and evenly matched, the only ones who can break the deadlock in the election are the neutral voters.And Gu Yong's current position here is actually the middle voters in the United States.

Therefore, Sun Quan left Gu Yong to have dinner with him, wanting to feel the true thoughts in Gu Yong's heart.

But Gu Yong is Gu Yong, apart from being a calm person, he does not lack the necessary scheming, so naturally he would not take the initiative to confess all his inner thoughts when the situation is not very clear.

Sun Quan was a little disappointed, and felt that the food was tasteless.

When Gu Yong bid farewell to Sun Quan and returned to his mansion, the expected thing also happened.Both Zhang Zhao and Yan Jian sent people to invite him to discuss matters.Of course, they nominally invited Gu Yong to discuss it, but to put it bluntly, they wanted to persuade Gu Yong to change his position in time and support their side of the proposition.

How could Gu Yong not know what these people were thinking?He didn't even express his position on Sun Quan's side, so how could he express his position to any party at this time.Therefore, Gu Yong sent away all the people sent by Zhang Zhao and Yan Yan.Then, he ordered his family to close all the four doors of the mansion. Today, his house does not accept outsiders seeking to see him.

Zhuge Jin is now at Zhang Zhao's home, waiting for Gu Yong's arrival.Zhuge Jin has always had an excellent friendship with Zhang Zhao's son Zhang Cheng, so Zhang Cheng is also present at this time.But to their disappointment, Gu Yong couldn't make excuses after all.

Zhuge Jin still didn't give up, so he also sent his family members to Gu Yong's family with his name card.But this time the situation was even worse, the family came back without even knocking on the door of Gu Yong's house.

The situation on Yan Jian's side is of course the same as that on Zhuge Jin's side.

However, the situation with Yan Jian's family is different from that of Zhang Zhao's family. Kan Ze did not come to Yan Jian's mansion to wait for Gu Yong together.It wasn't because Kan Ze had a feud with Gu Yong, and because he didn't want to see Gu Yong, Yan Tian was asked to appear instead of him.The reason is that Kan Ze has other important matters to deal with.

Tonight, the clouds in the night sky of Moling are as low as yesterday, so that the heart of an optimistic person like Kan Ze can't help but look a little gloomy.He was walking in the Zongzheng government office.

Originally, in such a late night, it was impossible for him to enter here, but he still knocked on the door of the Zongzheng Mansion by relying on his good staff.He was going to see Lu Xun who was imprisoned here.

After Kan Ze entered the cell where Lu Xun was held, he took the lantern from the yamen guard, which meant that the yamen guard should not follow him in.Because what he was going to discuss with Lu Xun tonight were not all light-hearted topics like before, and they should not be heard by outsiders.

After Kan Ze entered, he saw Lu Xun sitting alone in the cell, wrapped in a quilt, which wrapped his body tightly.Although it is the end of autumn and winter is about to enter, the weather should not be so cold for this sake, right?
Kan Ze smiled, walked over and teased, "Bo Yan, are you sick?"

Knowing that this was Kan Ze's joke, Lu Xun put down the quilt and waved to Kan Ze to let him in.Kan Ze unlocked the prison cell by himself and walked in.

Lu Xun then explained: "This cell is too humid, especially now that the weather has turned cold. So in order to prevent the moisture from invading my body, I had to wrap my body with a quilt like this at night. I still have to stay With this useful body, I will serve my lord and dominate the world in the future!"

Hearing what Lu Xun said, Kan Ze couldn't laugh anymore, and just nodded to Lu Xun in admiration.

Seeing that Kan Ze's expression was different from before, Lu Xun guessed that something important might have happened to Moling, otherwise Kan Ze would not have come to see him with this expression.

Lu Xun then asked, "Derun, maybe something big happened in Moling again?"

Kan Ze nodded, and surrendered Quan Cong to the Shu Han with all the naval forces in Lukou Port, and now he has captured the naval base camp and city of Yuzhang, and how Sun Quan beheaded him in a fit of anger. All of Quan Cong's family members told Lu Xun all the things that led to the leak of all the news.

Originally, Lu Xun had told Kan Ze that he had some doubts that Quan Cong actually wanted to borrow the letter of incrimination he had given to Sun Quan, and rebelled after gaining Sun Quan's trust.At that time, Lu Xun told Kan Ze that there were three ways for Quan Cong to rebel, one for Shu Han or one for Cao Wei, and the third was to raise troops and stand on his own.However, Lu Xun predicted that Quan Cong might take the path of surrendering to the Shu Han.I don't want to, Lu Xun is really a prophecy!
In fact, it was precisely because Lu Xun's guess or intuition was so accurate at the time that Kan Ze could not wait for the next day to dawn, so he entered the Zongzheng Mansion overnight to ask Lu Xun for advice.

Then, Kan Ze also told Lu Xun about the disputes between the peace faction and the war faction in the ruling and opposition parties.

After Lu Xun finished listening, he suddenly sighed: "If this happens, the situation in Jiangdong is really dangerous!"

Kan Ze nodded and said, "It's quite dangerous. But Boyan, what should we do now, should we fight or seek peace?"

Lu Xun sighed and said, "Actually, the best result now is to be able to ask Liu Bei for peace."

When Kan Ze heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback.He always asked because Lu Xun advocated war against the Shu Han, "Why?"

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think Quan Cong will just sit there and not move after taking Yuzhang County? If my prediction is correct, within two days, Ruxukou will be sent to the lord. Get a copy, they have been attacked by Quan Cong's navy."

Kan Ze couldn't help but exclaimed, "What? How dare Quan Cong do such a thing?!"

Lu Xun smiled wryly, and said: "He really dared to do that. So, when the news comes, the government and the opposition will come to a consensus. So, when the time comes, there will be no peace faction or war faction." The difference!"

In the afternoon of the next day, not only the battle report of the attack on Ruxukou was sent, but also the reports of the sweep of various ports along the way were sent to Sun Quan one after another.

So, as Lu Xun said, there is no distinction between the peace faction and the war faction in the ruling and opposition parties. Gu Yong also immediately changed his position, and all of them became the war faction!
