"You..." Zhang Zhao's face turned red. Deep in his heart, he still hoped that the Han Dynasty could become stronger. However, when it came to Lu Bu, not only the princes, but also Zhang Zhao, as a minister, also felt the strong

threats.

If the current situation continues, Lu Bu's strength will become more and more powerful. When the time comes, look at the princes in the world, who can compare with Lu Bu? Cao Cao's intention to attack Jingzhou is obvious, he wants to have the same power as Lu Bu after occupying Jingzhou.

The strength of confrontation, and after Jiangdong surrendered to the Xudu court, Jiangdong's army and Cao's army were united, and their strength could reach more than 200,000. Coupled with the soldiers and horses of Yizhou, they could mobilize an army of more than 300,000.

The terrain in Yizhou is difficult. As long as Liu Bei drags Lu Bu's army in Yizhou, Jiangdong Army and Cao Army attack Chang'an together, and they may be able to defeat Chang'an in one fell swoop.

Now the biggest threat to the Han Dynasty is Lu Bu. From these years of battles, Zhang Zhao can feel Lu Bu's ambition. At the same time, he can also feel the restlessness from the princes. In order to improve their own strength, the princes have made great efforts.

In a fight, the ministers are strong but the leader is weak, and the dignity of the Han Dynasty is trampled by the princes.

Of course, Zhang Zhao would not have said these words if Sun Ce had ruled Jiangdong. Sun Ce was a man with strong ambitions. After Sun Quan ruled Jiangdong, he was more generous and relied heavily on the literati under his rule.

Even if some words he said were inappropriate, Sun Quan did not blame him.

"Don't quarrel, everyone. Now Cao Cao has led the army into Xiangyang. The top priority is to defend Jingzhou. Cao Cao wants to capture Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was captured by the Jingzhou soldiers led by Brother Wang. How many soldiers were buried in the battlefield for it? If this is the case,

If the king directly surrenders to Cao Cao, how will he explain to the dead soldiers, how to explain to the king's brother and father." Sun Quan said in a low voice. Zhang Zhao's words really surprised Sun Quan. He originally thought that Zhang Zhao had assisted Jiangdong for many years.

, would consider the issue from the standpoint of Jiangdong, but he did not expect to stand on the side of the imperial court. Now Sun Quan is the King of Wu in Jiangdong. If he can become the king, who is willing to become a prisoner of others?

Zhang Zhao heard this and bowed his hands, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. From Sun Quan's words, he felt Sun Quan's dissatisfaction with him, but Zhang Zhao obviously didn't care too much. What he wanted to see was a powerful man, not a powerful man.

It's a big man falling apart.

The Han Dynasty had experienced too many turmoils and needed to be stabilized. Although Lu Bu, who occupied Chang'an, was powerful, he was not the person to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

"My lord, although Cao's army is gathered in Xiangyang, Governor Zhou has led 50,000 Jiangdong elite troops to station in Jiangxia. With all Governor Zhou can do, it is natural that he can resist Cao's army." Lu Su said, but he did not want Sun Quan to surrender like this.

Cao Cao, even any general in the army would not agree to this kind of thing. Jiangdong's current achievements were only achieved by how many soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield, just because of the enemy.

When the army was strong, he wanted to surrender. As for Cao Cao's loyalty, it was completely nonsense. After Liu Biao inherited the throne, did Cao Cao have the slightest respect for the imperial court.

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to be king, but many of his ministers are opposed to him becoming king. Nowadays, as long as there are princes who hold military power, there are still a few people who care about the Han Dynasty. What they think more about is how to survive in these troubled times.

Get more benefits from it.

As for the alliance between Jiangdong's army and Cao's army, even after conquering Chang'an, Jiangdong can't expect to get too many benefits. After all, the lack of close control of the territory makes it difficult for Jiangdong's army to have more opportunities. Besides, there is a huge difference between alliance and surrender.

, Sun Quan is the King of Wu and has absolute say in Jiangdong. Even if such matters are placed on anyone, he will not easily choose to surrender. No one is willing to give up the power in his hands, which also makes Lu Su look at

Zhang Zhao looked a little confused.

Both Sun Ce and Sun Quan attached great importance to Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao showed extraordinary talents in handling internal affairs. Unexpectedly, an old official from Jiangdong would say such words in front of everyone.

.

After everyone dispersed, Sun Quan kept Lu Su behind. Cao Cao led 100,000 troops into Xiangyang, which indeed gave Sun Quan a great shock. Sun Quan would not be willing to surrender to Cao's army, and the war between the two sides was even more intense.

Right now.

"Everyone else can go to Cao Cao, but the King of Wu cannot go to Cao Cao. After we go to Cao Cao, we can still be reused, but after the King of Wu goes to Cao Cao, it will not only be difficult to be reused, but also feared by Cao Cao." Lu Su said.

: "My lord has Jiangdong counties in his hands. The country is in danger but the people are attached to it. In addition, Jingzhou has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Zhou Dudu. Resisting Cao's army is naturally a piece of cake."

Sun Quan said: "What Zijing said is true. Now that Gongjin is fighting against Cao's army in Jiangxia, Zijing should escort the grain and grass to the Jiangxia army."

Lu Su bowed his hands and praised him. From Sun Quan's words, he felt that he was uneasy about Zhou Yu. The main reason was that Zhou Yu's prestige in the army was too high. He had followed Sun Ce for many years and it was Zhou Yu who basically made the final decision on the dispatch of the army.

, and the generals in the army respected Zhou Yu very much, which to a certain extent had an impact on Sun Quan's status. As a monarch, he naturally did not want to see such a situation.

However, Jiangdong is now at a critical moment. If it cannot successfully resist Cao's army, Jiangdong will inevitably fall into a dangerous situation. Jingzhou is now an important part of Sun Quan's rule.

From Zhang Zhao's attitude, we can see how Jiangdong's aristocratic families will react if Jiangdong's army fails to achieve results on the battlefield in Jingzhou. Many Jiangdong aristocratic families are from the Central Plains. If they join the Xudu imperial court

Afterwards, with the strength of their family, they were able to be reused. Of course, if Sun Quan showed strong strength in this battle, they would still continue to assist Sun Quan.

In fact, Lu Su understands that the Jiangdong family's considerations are from a long-term perspective. Judging from the methods Lu Bu has displayed over the years, its strength has been greatly improved. After occupying Yizhou, Lu Bu's strength, even Jiangdong

Even if Cao's army and Cao's army are united in one place, it may be difficult to defeat them.

"Although the King of Jin led the army to conquer Yizhou, he still has a large number of soldiers and horses in Chang'an. The armies in Qingzhou and Jizhou are still capable of fighting. The cavalry on the grassland can be mobilized at any time. Even if the lord wants to form an alliance with Cao Cao,

Chang'an cannot be shaken easily." Lu Su said.

Sun Quan nodded, why didn't he understand these truths? Now Lu Bu has become the general trend. After Lu Bu eliminated Yuan Shao, his strength has been at the top of the princes. After the defeat at Huguan, the princes were too afraid of Lu Bu.

When facing Lu Bu, he can only be friendly and make friends with him, but dare not provoke him.
