After Zhuge Jin left, Sun Quan was still a little nervous, worried about gains and losses, and was afraid that Liu Bei would not accept his peace.

When Sun Quan heard that Liu Bei raised an army to fight in the east, he knew that it would be a matter of time sooner or later, but he naturally chose to negotiate peace with Liu Bei.

Although Sun Quan took back Jingzhou as he wished, what he did was too inauthentic. In just over a year, he defeated the alliance and attacked his allies twice in a row.

When I sent Zhuge Jin to seek peace, I was not entirely afraid of fighting with Liu Bei, and I also wanted to apologize.

In a sense, Liu Bei did not accept Sun Quan's peace talks, but did not accept his apology.

Therefore, Sun Quan felt unsure and was a little restless.

Of course, Sun Quan could also choose to go to war with Liu Bei directly and bow to Cao Pi, but in Sun Quan's eyes, Cao Pi's throne came from the disgrace, and he resisted this idea from the bottom of his heart.

In addition, Sun Quan also has a bit of self-respecting his identity.

Although Cao Pi is only five years younger than Sun Quan, he is considered a peer.

But Sun Quan was a contemporary figure with Cao Cao after all, and had always had an equal dialogue with Cao Cao, and regarded himself as Cao Pi's elder.

Now he has to surrender to Cao Pi, his nephew, and the arrogant Sun Quan cannot let go of his figure no matter what.

But Liu Bei is different. Not only is he still older than himself, but he is also his brother-in-law and the orthodox royal bloodline. The throne he inherited is even more legitimate.

And until now, Liu Bei has not proposed to terminate the marriage relationship with Mrs. Sun.

The main reason is Sun Quan's guilt, feeling sorry for Liu Bei's cheap brother-in-law, and even more so for his own sister Sun Shangxiang.

Now letting go of one's posture to seek peace is also a way to express one's apology.

Whether Liu Bei accepts it or not, Sun Quan must make some statements.

Although Liu Bei made Mrs. Wu the queen, Sun Quan was very angry, he knew that his sister had been missing Liu Bei in her heart, so he was still willing to put down his figure and send it back to his sister to reach a settlement with Liu Bei.

Sun Quan was very conflicted in his heart, because whether it was reconciliation or war, his first target was Liu Bei, which made him a little at a loss.

Because he had a psychological advantage over Liu Bei's war, the two battles between him and Liu Bei's army in Jingzhou were defeated by Jingnan in the first game and Jingzhou in the second game, ending with a complete victory.

In contrast, when he fought with Cao's army, Sun Quan led his troops several times in Hefei, but he had no victory. Every time he lost his troops and returned without success.

Now Sun Quan has left a psychological shadow and is very afraid of going to war with Cao's army, especially in Hefei.

Because Sun Quan was not sure about Liu Bei's attitude, he was afraid that he would delay the best opportunity to surrender to Cao Pi, so he was a little anxious. His emotions had long fallen into the eyes of a thoughtful person named Zhao Zi.

Zhao Zi, whose courtesy name is Dedu, is from Nanyang. He is knowledgeable and good at debate.

He has been in the process of joining Sun Quan for a long time. Although he was appointed as a central doctor by Sun Quan, because his specialty is eloquence, he has no outstanding ability in government and military affairs, and has not been valued for the time being, but was only supported by Sun Quan with rich clothes and food.

This time, because Liu Bei raised an army to fight in the east, Zhao Zi felt that the opportunity had come, so he wanted to follow the example of self-recommendation and use his talents.

So he came to Sun Quan's palace to seek a meeting.

Because there are many people who defect to Sun Quan, not all of them are talented.

In order to open up the path of wise men, miss talents, and select truly useful talents, although Sun Quan refused everyone, but to be valued, it would take a long time of investigation.

After the guard reported, Sun Quan, who had an amazing memory, quickly remembered Zhao Zi, who was very eloquent and asked the guard to invite him in.

Because the opportunity was rare and did not make a fool of himself, Zhao Zi said straight to Sun Quan:

"I saw the lord frowning recently. It must be because of Liu Bei's troubles in the Eastern Expedition, and I was worried that Zhuge Ziyu would not seek peace. I think Liu Bei wanted to establish his authority this time, so he would not seek peace, but the lord doesn't have to worry."

Sun Quan was worried that he could not resist Liu Bei's attack and blurted out:

"Why did Dedu teach me?"

Zhao Zi had already made a careful analysis of the current situation. When he heard Sun Quan's inquiry, he replied without hesitation:

"Since Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and Liu Bei became emperor, the lord did not have to be afraid of Liu Bei's revenge, because Liu Bei regarded himself as the orthodox Han Dynasty and inherited the throne in Xichuan. But "there is no day, and the people have no two lords", he and Cao Pi could not coexist, and the conflict between them could no longer be reconciled. Because both sides wanted to become orthodox, they had to wipe out each other, but they were worried about each other and did not dare to fight. Therefore, as the only remaining third-party force, the lord naturally became the target of the two families to establish their authority, but at the same time they were also the target of the two fighting to win over."

Sun Quan managed Jiangdong to its current scale, which was also extremely talented and immediately knew what Zhao Zi meant. He stood up and thanked Zhao Zi:

"|After listening to Dedu's words, I suddenly realized that if it was true as you said, Liu Bei would not agree to peace talks. Then I would be bothering you to go to Wei State for me and persuade Cao Pi to accept our dependence."

Zhao Zi had not finished his long speech, but Sun Quan reacted so quickly, making him feel like he was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't continue talking and had to say goodbye.

Talking to smart people is a very pleasant thing.

But for an excellent debater, it is a very uncomfortable thing. Before my argument and argument have been brought out, I have no object to convince!

Zhao Zi said it all the time, but he was also very uncomfortable.

When he got home, he forced the wife who was doing needlework. After hearing that he had nagged all the arguments and arguments behind him, Zhao Zi lost and felt much more comfortable.

Shortly after Zhao Zi left, the guards came to inform him again, and Zhang Zhao asked for a meeting.

Zhang Zhao's status in Jiangdong can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people. Even Sun Quan did not dare to neglect and quickly invited him in.

After coming in, Zhang Zhao became abnormal and did not report on the official business. Instead, he started to have family affairs.

But there were several times when they wanted to speak but stopped, which made Sun Quan a little confused, so he asked straight to the point:

"Ji Bu says anything, and you won't blame you for any Lonely!"

Zhang Zhao then spoke:

"Zhuge Ziyu's brother was prime minister in Xichuan. He knew that Liu Bei's army was in great power. Now he was lying to ask for peace and entered Xichuan. Could it be that he betrayed his lord and turned to Liu Bei?"

Sun Quan trusted Zhuge Jin very much. He knew that Zhang Zhao had some differences with Zhuge Jin in political views, but he did not say bad things about him, so he blurted out:
Chapter completed!
