"Zi Bu, what Jin Zong said just now is..." Sun Quan frowned and hesitated.

Zhang Zhao nodded lightly: "King Wu, you might as well surrender. There is no point in struggling. Anyway, surrendering to Wei or Han will be the same."

"Bastard, I treat you so badly, why do you do this?" Sun Quan gritted his teeth in anger.

Zhang Zhao was calm and composed, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and calmly answered: "Wu Wenze (Wu Fan) is good at observing the sky. He recently observed the bright stars in the west, which seemed to be signs of the rise of the dragon. Since Liu Xuande is destined to return,

It's all surrender whether it's early or late."

"You...you betrayed me because of the celestial phenomena? Where is Yu Zecheng?" Sun Quan screamed crazily.

Zhang Zhao's face suddenly changed and he said coldly: "Yu Xiu was ignorant of current affairs and was eliminated by me with a plan. Now Jianye is in decline. I remember the friendship in the past and did not embarrass the royal family."

"Yu Xiu was executed? How is that possible?" Sun Quan looked at Hu Zong with disbelief.

Hu Zong was also confused now, wondering if Zhuge Jin's analysis was correct and was this person really flashy? However, Zhang Zhao had rich experience in leading troops, so he did not think that Zhang Zhao was telling lies.

At this time, Hu Ke was hiding behind the wall and gave Zhang Zhao an approving look. He had to be there for such a famous scene.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhuge Jin and others also urged their horses to the front. Zhuge Jin also understood what was going on at this time, so he reasoned with Zhang Zhao sadly: "Zibu, you are an important minister of Soochow, why do you surrender so easily?"

?Even if we take control of the isolated city of Jianye, do you think we can hold it? If the governor or Zi Heng returns with reinforcements, the city can be broken in a moment."

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly: "Ziyu, like King Wu, seems to be still living in a dream? Do you know how strong the Jianye city is? Are Lu Boyan's few soldiers and horses enough? As for the main force of Jiangdong brought by Lu Ziheng, I am afraid that it has already

They must have been completely wiped out by Lantian."

"What did you say?" Sun Quan was shocked. This news was more terrifying than the fall of Jianye. Lu Fan's troops were really his family's wealth.

"Originally there is a Wu family in the three-thirds of the world, but the King of Wu is wavering between Cao and Liu. If the two don't help each other and stick to Jiangdong, they may be able to survive for a while. But why do you want to provoke Lan Ziyu? Have you forgotten his nickname: Xuan Owl?

To tell you the truth, luring Lu Fan to attack Guangzhou and Jingnan is actually a plan to lure the enemy deeper." After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he sighed, and then shamelessly persuaded Sun Quan to surrender and said: "Zhong Mou, you did not lose unjustly.

Just vote."

Zhuge Jin swallowed his saliva. He was also very aware of Lan Tian's ability, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Zi Heng commanded 100,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangdong, and the king also added 20,000 troops from Ruxuwu. So Lan Tian, ​​no matter how wise and resourceful

, it’s impossible to do it in such a short time..."

"Oh, just over ten days ago, do you know that Gan Ning led his troops to attack Chaisang? Even if Lu Ziheng had 200,000 troops, if there was no follow-up supply of food and grass, how could he resist Lan Ziyu?" Zhang Zhao responded coldly.

"Chaisang fell more than ten days ago? Then Zhongsi..." Zhuge Jin asked the key point.

"Defeated and captured." Zhang Zhao replied calmly.

"Zhang Zibu betrayed Gu for his son? Gu has shown you so much kindness for so many years in vain. Are you worthy of Gu? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Sun Quan yelled.

Zhang Zhao solemnly said: "Excessive favor? Is that really the case? And you don't need to be so angry? Have you forgotten what Bo Fu said?"

"You still have the nerve to mention your orphaned brother?" Sun Quan's voice was hoarse.

"General Bo Fu left an orphan before his death. He once left a message to me, 'If Zhongmou doesn't do anything, you will take it for yourself. If you can't defeat the enemy again, you will slowly return to the west without any worries.' You have never been here.

The people of Jiangdong have already complained about virtue. Otherwise, why would all the ministers be willing to surrender? It is better to look for the reasons within yourself. Without the emperor's virtues and abilities, being a Taiping Duke should be enough." Zhang Zhao's words directly made Sun Quan unable to refute.

"You..." Sun Quan pointed at Zhang Zhao, whose face turned red and his hoarse throat could not make a sound. He thought to himself that Sun Ce was just talking, but you, an old man, actually took it seriously.

Seeing this, Hu Zong drew his sword and suggested to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao's heart is as solid as stone. It's useless to talk any more. Why don't I let the soldiers try to attack the city?"

"Forget it, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the traitor has. If he deliberately led us to attack the city, wouldn't he have fallen into the old man's trick? Now return to the warship immediately and make further calculations." Although Sun Quan had a splitting headache, his head was still there.

Very clear.

"My foster father is right. Jianye City is extremely strong. We have not prepared siege equipment. Attacking rashly will only increase casualties. We should go to Ruxuwu to bring reinforcements." Sima Division also advised Sun Quan.

Sima Shi's words made Sun Quan look at him sideways, and thought that this Wuhou was indeed worthy of his reputation. He had such extraordinary knowledge at such a young age, but it was a pity that he got it too late.

"Let's go." Sun Quan glanced at Jianye reluctantly and never came back in his life.

Sun Quan left in despair, and Hu Ke slowly walked out from behind the city wall, looking forward thoughtfully.

"Sun Zhongmou must have gone to move reinforcements. The general only has a few thousand soldiers in his hands. We have no way out now. Once the city is destroyed, we will all be destroyed..." Zhang Zhao's face showed a heavy look.

Hu Ke sneered and said: "According to my latest news, the Lan family and his son have trapped Lu Fan between Pingxiang and Yichun, and the main force in Jiangdong has run out of food. It is estimated that the battle will end soon, and Jianye will come soon.

"

"That's good. Sun Zhongmou may be able to raise some troops in Wu County, Kuaiji and other places, but he can't be a match for General Lan. It depends on what choice Lu Boyan will make." Zhang Zhao sighed while stroking his beard.

Hu Kezhu raised his eyes, turned around and said to Zhang Zhao: "Ask Gu Shangshu (Gu Yong) to write a letter to persuade, and also ask the governor's wife and children to write some letters home. After King Wu leaves the dock, I will find a way to send them to Ruxu."

It depends on whether he goes to Ruxuwu to recruit troops or whether he returns to his hometown of Wujun to recruit troops."

"Sun Zhongmou has a suspicious character. Lu Xun, young and old, and his relatives and friends are all in Jianye, so you may not be able to trust him at this time..." Zhang Zhao frowned.

Hu Ke smiled and nodded: "It's great to be suspicious..."

After being humiliated, Sun Quan returned to the dock and discussed countermeasures with Zhuge Jin, Hu Zong and others. Looking at the huge Jiangdong with only a few people left, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Sun Quan originally wanted to ask Zhuge Jin, but he thought that he and Zhang Zhao were related to each other, and that his younger brother Zhuge Liang was an official under Liu Bei, so he asked Sima Shi, the "Marquis of Wu".

Master Sima was flattered, but he could still answer calmly: "You can't believe Zhang Zhao's words. I suggest that my adoptive father start from two aspects. First, Liu Bei is tired from fighting with Wei State, and he must not want to see a deadly fight with Jiangdong. It is better to send an envoy.

Sue for peace from Liu Bei, and recall the troops from all over the country. The most urgent thing is to get Jianye back."

"Soochow takes action first this time, how can Liu Xuande agree?" Although Sun Quan agreed with Sima Shi's idea, he did not believe that Liu Bei would agree.
