Zhang Lu couldn't help but be furious.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao both coveted his Hanzhong, but they all adopted the method of winning over interests and made various conditions to let him join them.

I don’t know where a junior who was supposedly the prince-consort of the Eastern Wu came out. He asked him to surrender or give up his Hanzhong with such a big tone?

King Sun Quan of Wu dared not do this, right?

Although Lu Chao had captured Xiangcheng before, outsiders thought it was Zhou Yu's credit, and believed that Lu Chao had just obtained a bargain, and Zhang Lu did not think that Lu Chao had the ability to capture his Hanzhong.

A few hours later, Lu Chao's 100,000 wolf cavalry came to the vicinity of Hanzhong City, and wandered around the city walls, hoping to create a psychological deterrence for the defenders in the city.

As a result, it was found that the defenders in the city did not take this trick at all. Under Zhang Lu's brainwashing, these soldiers and the people were fearless and ready to sacrifice their lives to protect Hanzhong at any time.

Even after this obsession made them die, their bodies could still be driven by Zhang Lu for a long time to continue to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Zhang Lu has also sent people to ask for help from Liu Bei and Cao Cao, promising certain benefits, and even agreed to become an affiliate in exchange for some reinforcements.

However, Liu Bei and Cao Cao didn't want to interfere in this matter at this time.

The Eastern Wu was overestimating his ability to annex Zhang Lu, and the final result must be both sides. They happened to pick up the advantage after the war was over. At this time, they helped Zhang Lu and let Lu Chao retreat, so they had no advantage.

However, they didn't know that Lu Chao knew their march and mobilization. Regardless of whether they reinforced Zhang Lu, Lu Chao would know and make preparations in advance.

At night, Hu Bicheng, Gong Chenglong, Zeng Shidao, Ruan Wenwu, Mo Bing, and Jia Shitou, and six powerful generals from Nanyue led an army of 100,000 to join Lu Chao and Lu Bu.

The entire army rested on the spot.

...

In addition to sending people to Liu Bei and Cao Cao for help, Zhang Lu also sent people to the King of Wu City to ask why Sun Quan attacked him.

Sun Quan urgently summoned the ministers to discuss the matter at night.

"This Lu Chao is simply bold and ignorant of the consequences! The capture of Xiangcheng led to Cao Cao's hatred for us and may invade Eastern Wu at any time. In this case, he actually attacked Hanzhong again, causing us to make enemies everywhere. This is to destroy my Eastern Wu!" Zhang Zhao was shocked after hearing the news.

"It is indeed a taboo for military strategists to make enemies everywhere like this. Did he ask the lord for this matter?" Lu Xun asked Sun Quan.

"No." Sun Quan shook his head.

"Zhang Lu's Hanzhong is not so easy to capture. At that time, Liu Zhang was sitting on the fertile land of Yizhou, with a population of millions. He wanted to embezzle Hanzhong several times, but was beaten extremely embarrassed by Zhang Lu. In the end, he had to seek help from Liu Bei, but was occupied by Liu Bei and finally had to hide in a small city and survived." Lu Meng also spoke.

"The key is that he did this. Others do not think it was his personal behavior. They will think it was our Dongwu behavior. They say that we were killing everywhere. Maybe Cao Cao used this reason to attack us after beating Ma Teng. We can't refute it." Lu Xun continued to analyze.

"He will make our situation very dangerous. The lord has to consider taking back his military power, otherwise, I don't know how much trouble will happen."

"The lord now wants to arrange someone to go over quickly and stop Lu Chao from attacking Hanzhong."

"He has no chance of winning. Such a stupid move is just to make the world laugh at me, Dongwu."

The other ministers also expressed their own views.

"What if he beat Hanzhong down?" Sun Quan spoke hesitantly.

"Impossible." The generals shook their heads one after another.

"The Grand Commander defeated Nanyue, but in the end he relied on him to attack Nanyue's royal city. Guangcheng was also taken back. A few days ago, he even took down Cao Wei's Xiangcheng. Why do you think he can't take Hanzhong?" Sun Quan asked everyone.

"He attacked the royal city of Nanyue because General Lu restrained almost all the troops in Nanyue and left an empty city to give him an opportunity to take advantage of it. He took back the Guangcheng because the generals of Nanyue lost the royal city. Seeing General Zhou thought that the lord was in charge of the emperor's expedition, he was scared and surrendered to him."

"As for Xiangcheng, it was not his who fought at all. The Grand Governor and Cao Ren fought to the death, but he just stole the bargain."

"From the beginning to the end, he has never really fought a strong battle, and he has to rely on opportunities to win the war. But Zhang Lu's Hanzhong is different, and he has no choice but to take advantage of it."

"I think he succeeded in stealing the opportunity a few times in the past, and became a little swelling. He thought he was invincible and could do whatever he wanted without restraint. But really, he was still too young. He was just lucky in the past, and his luck could not have been so good all the time."

Everyone carefully analyzed the pros and cons to Sun Quan.

They didn't really like Lu Chao.

After hearing what they said, Sun Quan thought it was very reasonable.

Lu Chao has indeed never fought a tough battle! They are just stealing opportunities, but there is no chance to steal this time? Zhang Lu's Hanzhong is really not so easy to fight.

If Lu Chao suffered a big fall in Hanzhong and the army of Eastern Wu lost too much, the national fortune of Eastern Wu would likely decline, which would affect not only himself, but the overall situation of Eastern Wu.

"Dear friends, who would like to go to Shangyong? I advise Governor Lu not to attack Hanzhong?" Sun Quan looked at the ministers.

The ministers were talking very lively just now, but no one was willing to stand up for anyone to stop Lu Chao.

If you go, you will definitely offend Lu Chao.

They saw the consequences of Zhou Yu offending Lu Chao before.

Although they don’t like Lu Chao, it’s okay to confront Lu Chao together in the court, but if they do things that make Lu Chao unhappy, who knows if they will be targeted by Lu Chao?

In the end, he ended up being angry to death like Zhou Yu.

No one went, so Sun Quan could only instruct Lu Su Xingye to rush to Shangyong to stop Lu Chao from attacking Zhang Lu.

...

At night, Lu Chao arranged for people to guard Zhang Lu's camp, but unfortunately Zhang Lu didn't think of leaving the city at all, just huddled in the city to prepare to defend himself.

Lu Chao summoned the portal of the house, returned home, dismantled the missile vehicle and moved it out, and there were also a large number of C4 plastic bombs.

"Zi Jing came here late at night, what's the point?" Lu Chao almost understood what was going on when he saw Lu Su coming.

"Zhang Lu sent the messenger to the royal city and said that you were going to attack Hanzhong. The result of the discussion between the ministers and the lord in the court was recommended not to provoke the battle easily. Zhang Lu was very strong and was a hard bone that was difficult to crack. If he insisted on attacking, the consequences would be difficult to deal with." Lu Su said to Lu Chao the result of the discussion between Sun Quan and the ministers in the court.
