Chapter 192
Not only Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao's words made everyone present have no way to refute them, after all, a living example is here.
Zhang Xiu was ruthless enough, first surrendered to Cao Cao, and then suddenly rebelled, caught Cao Cao off guard, and killed Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin, but it wasn't a.
If Liu Jue refused to let Jiangdong take advantage of it and surrendered to Cao Cao instead, even if Cao Cao was unhappy in his heart, he would not embarrass him, and even treat him preferentially.
Lu Su sighed and said, "Liu Jue also told me this before, and he also said that after he surrendered to Cao Cao, he would personally lead troops to conquer Jiangdong. "
The important ministers here are all looking at each other, this Liu Jue's style of acting is really not according to common sense, if Jiangdong sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, he really plans to burn Jiangdong jade.
Zhou Yu's eyes were cold, and he said: "In this way, in order to drag Jiangdong in, he really has the possibility of retreating to the Yangtze River, or surrendering to Cao Cao." "
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan's expression suddenly stagnated, and became a little gloomy, this Liu Jue is really ruthless enough, in order not to let Jiangdong get benefits, he would rather cheapen Cao Cao.
Considering the worst outcome, if Liu Jue surrenders to Cao Cao and turns his troops to attack Jiangdong, Jiangdong's foundation will really be finished.
Cao Cao only needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the two families fight, and in the end, he can take Jingzhou and Jiangdong in one fell swoop without much effort.
"Slut!"
Sun Quan clenched his fists fiercely and scolded Liu Jue in his heart, he originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then sit on the profit of the fisherman, but now he didn't dare to do it.
Sun Quan calmed himself down, and began to think in his heart that what Liu Jue said was somewhat credible.
Liu Jue has seen through his own thoughts, and he will definitely not let Jiangdong stay out of the matter, and the future situation will at least be a joint confrontation between the two against Cao Cao.
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Quan felt very aggrieved, thinking that he had taken the initiative, but in the end, Liu Jue still held himself down.
Sun Quan didn't dare to bet on what Liu Jue said, whether it was true or false, because once he lost the bet, he would lose the entire Jiangdong Foundation, and he himself would become a prisoner.
Sun Quan is not Sun Ce.
Sun Ce laid down a huge Jiangdong, and he was the master of pioneering, and Sun Quan was the master of shoucheng.
And the biggest flaw of the master of the defense is that he lacks the courage to break the net, and he often looks forward and backward when he does things.
Historically, when Cao Cao's army went south, after Jiangdong learned the news, many civilian officials led by Zhang Zhao put forward a proposal to surrender.
Sun Quan also hesitated because of this, and it was all because of Lu Su's words that Sun Quan made up his mind.
If Sun Ce hadn't died now, he would definitely not have said a word, and he would raise troops to fight Cao Cao to the end, this is the gap between the master of the pioneer and the lord of the master.
After Sun Quan weighed the three, he had to admit in his heart that Liu Jue's threat was very effective, even if there was a certain chance of intimidation, he didn't dare to gamble.
Sun Quan really can't afford to gamble, if he wins, it's okay, it consumes Liu Jue's strength, if he loses the bet, he will lose the entire Jiangdong, and even the Sun family is in danger of being destroyed.
Sun Quan sighed and said, "Now it seems that it is imperative to form an alliance with Liu Jue, and even send troops to help Liu Jue hold Xiangfan." "
"Lord!"
Cheng Pu was immediately anxious, faintly angry, he started with Sun Jian, assisted the three generations of the Sun family, in his opinion, Sun Quan was a little weak, because of Liu Jue's words, he was about to make concessions.
Zhou Yu said coldly: "Cheng Gong don't be impatient! The most important thing now is to deal with Cao Cao first, and give Liu Jue some help if necessary." After repelling Cao Cao, it was time to deal with Liu Jue. "
Cheng Pu's eyes fell on Zhou Yu, and the whole person suddenly calmed down, if it was someone else, Cheng Pu would only scoff, but he believed Zhou Yu's words very much.
For no other reason, Zhou Yu and Liu Jue's enmity is as deep as the sea, the hatred of defeat and the hatred of taking his wife, everyone here knows that Zhou Yu can't wait to swallow Liu Jue alive.
Seeing that Cheng Pu instantly calmed down because of Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, if Cheng Pu resolutely objected, he really didn't know how to convince Cheng Pu.
Everything must be premised on the preservation of Koto.
Sun Quan turned his head to look at Lu Su and said, "If you go to Zijing again, you will say that I am willing to form an alliance with him, and I will send 20,000 soldiers and horses to help him defend Xiangyang Fancheng." "
Who knew that Lu Su shook his head, smiled bitterly at Sun Quan and said: "I have talked to Liu Jue about the alliance before, but he said that the time has not yet come, and it will not be too late to wait until Cao Cao's soldiers come to Xiangfan." "
Sun Quan was stunned, and hurriedly said: "What does this mean? Cao Cao's army has arrived in Wancheng, but I am afraid that it will soon go south, isn't Liu Jue in a hurry? When Cao Cao's troops come to Xiangfan, I am afraid that it will be too late by then." "
I let go of the hatred in my heart and chose to temporarily form an alliance with Liu Jue, but now it's good, Liu Jue doesn't want to form an alliance yet, is it possible that he really wants to throw himself into Cao Cao?
Thinking of this situation, Sun Quan's heart was half cold on a hot day.
Zhou Yu also frowned and said, "What does Liu Jue think, now that Cao Cao's great enemy is current, what are he still hesitating about if he doesn't immediately form an alliance with us?"
Lu Su shook his head and said: "Based on my observation of Liu Jue, it is unlikely that he will defect to Cao Cao, he should want to give up Xiangfan and put the battle line in the Yangtze River." "
Sun Quan and the ministers were dumbfounded, put the battle line in the Yangtze River area, and relied on the Yangtze River to resist Cao Cao, the probability of winning was indeed much higher.
But in this way, Jiangdong will face Cao Cao's threat, if Cao Cao doesn't care about Liu Jue, but goes down the river to attack Jiangdong first, then Sun Quan is afraid that everyone will be stupid.
It's not that this possibility is impossible, and in the current situation, Jiangdong is easier to deal with than Jingzhou.
was defeated by Liu Jue twice, and each time he took the initiative to make peace, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a soft persimmon, and Cao Cao definitely wanted to pinch it.
The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a while, and everyone didn't know what to say when you look at me and I look at you.
After Sun Quan came back to his senses, he was even more annoyed in his heart, and immediately snorted: "Since Liu Jue doesn't want to form an alliance for the time being, then let him go, I see who will ask for whom when Cao Cao's soldiers come to Xiangfan." "
Sun Quan's heart was furious, Liu Jue was like Jiangdong's nemesis, Jiangdong was in Liu Jue's hands, and he never took advantage of it, but suffered many times.
Zhang Zhao opened his mouth to persuade: "The lord is angry, let's wait and see what changes will happen, and see what Liu Jue's plans will be after Cao Cao's soldiers come to Xiangfan, and it will not be too late for us to deal with it." "
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said, "That's right, but we also have to be prepared, the lord should immediately mobilize troops and horses and garrison them in the area from east to Shuizhai, so that we can respond quickly." "
Sun Quan barely calmed down and said: "In this case, Gong Jin will serve as the governor of the left capital, and Gong Cheng will serve as the governor of the right capital, and lead 30,000 naval troops to garrison Dongzhi." "
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Lord, I'm afraid 30,000 is a bit less." "
Sun Quan smiled bitterly and said: "Gongjin, you don't know, now the mountains are restless everywhere, I must send troops to defend the mountains, 30,000 is already my limit." "
Zhou Yu sighed, clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates understand!"
Shanyue is like an iron chain, binding Jiangdong in all aspects, if there is no such constraint, Sun Quan can let go of his hands and feet, and he does not have to have many worries like now.
After the matter was discussed, the important ministers dispersed one after another, and Sun Quan's mood was also terrible.
