Chapter 1120 The three days of separation, be impressed
Chapter 1,120: Three days apart, we should look at each other with new eyes
Speechless.
Sun Quan looked at the few guys in front of him who claimed to be his good helpers, and felt speechless in his heart.
As a lord, he has achieved this level, and there is really no room for him to fall further.
But...after thinking about it, Sun Quan was relieved. Why didn't he seize the opportunity well before?
Every time at this time, Sun Quan would think of Zhou Yu who had just passed away - what he regretted most was not only not following Zhou Yu's advice, but also not being able to properly resolve the conflict with Zhou Yu when he was dying.
It's just that now it's impossible for him to find opportunities to resolve such conflicts.
The dead have long since passed away, and the living should be encouraged. After understanding this, Sun Quan's heart became much calmer.
"That's all, I won't argue with you about this, but no matter what, you must save my life, otherwise... otherwise..."
Halfway through his words, Sun Quan suddenly froze.
An unspeakable sadness suddenly surged in his heart - because he discovered that he could not even threaten this group of people.
In short... Sun Quan is not in the mood to wait for tomorrow to come.
After giving everyone a blank look, Sun Quan hurried out and looked for a way to protect himself.
——
However, as Lu Xun, Lu Su and others estimated, Zhang Zhao really did not have the guts not to participate in this voting.
As a veteran who has been involved in officialdom for many years, after the initial anger passed, Zhang Zhao himself figured out the murderous intention behind Lu Xun's joint plan with Sun Quan.
According to common sense, Zhang Zhao, who actually controlled most of the military power in Jiangdong, should not have been so panicked.
But now, Zhang Zhao was already on his way to Wu County, and along the way, he had ordered many people to help him fight against the manpower arranged by Lu Xun and others in various places.
Unless under special circumstances, conflicts must not be initiated proactively.
Just because Zhang Zhao fully realized the cruelty and danger of voting in this election.
It was difficult for Zhang Zhao, who had a noble stance, to imagine at first that Lu Xun, who had the same stance as him and was even more entrenched to some extent, would use a method similar to abandoning all "home field" advantages to compete with him.
.
But when Sun Quan really lost his face and was the first to stand up and start implementing this plan to seize power based on the popularity of the lowest class of people, Zhang Zhao was already on the rack.
On the contrary, if he wakes up later, his situation will only become worse.
Zhang Zhao was completely forced to be on the same starting line - Sun Quan and Lu Xun knew clearly that they could not defeat Zhang Zhao in terms of military and financial resources, but instead took the initiative to give up these accumulated strengths and chose to directly put the battlefield on another
On the runway.
And when doing this, in fact, if Lu Xun and others made mistakes in the first few steps, they would not even be able to persist until the day of decisive victory against Zhang Zhao.
Because once Lu Xun and others invested all their financial and military resources in gathering popularity, as long as the people did not want to see them, or simply Zhang Zhao and others discovered Lu Xun's behavior in advance,
As long as they are stopped a little before they realize the transformation, I dare not say that Lu Xun and others will be completely destroyed. At least Lu Xun and others can be seriously injured.
However, Lu Xun and others, who were already trapped in the vortex of power disparity, once their transformation failed and were severely damaged by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao's victory could basically be declared.
Whether it is through force and comprehensive force, or even relying on abundant financial resources to suppress Lu Xun and others, through slow manipulation of official positions, Lu Xun and others can be easily defeated.
But here's the problem.
During such an important period, Zhang Zhao found no signs of these changes at all.
Lu Xun did not reveal any tricks in front of Zhang Zhao.
This gave Zhang Zhao quite a headache.
When he thought of this, Zhang Zhao had already eagerly boarded the carriage and rushed towards Wujun City.
While giving instructions to his ministers on the road, Zhang Zhao came up with at least two possibilities regarding this doubt.
"Mr. Ge, why are you so worried?"
"Lu Xun and the others... are just going through the motions. How will a voting election supported by only small votes affect the real overall situation?"
The person who spoke was sitting opposite Zhang Zhao. The reason why Zhang Zhao did not go to Wu County immediately after getting the news was not only because he did not understand the reason at first, but also because he was waiting to summon the person in front of him to accompany him.
.
"Ziming, don't underestimate this Lu Xun. Although I don't think this Lu Xun can really make a comeback, but this election voting... I have to admit that they have indeed threatened our overall situation."
Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Meng, the worry in his eyes somewhat relieved.
Yes, the person sitting in front of Zhang Zhao is none other than the candidate of Zhang Zhao's old party to be the next governor of Soochow - Lu Meng, who succeeded Lu Su and is now the governor of Lujiang.
In fact, in the battle with Liu Bei years ago, Lu Meng, as the commander of the army sent by Sun Quan at that time, did achieve results beyond people's imagination at the beginning.
One month after the war started, Lu Meng, who had captured most of Changsha and the entire Guiyang County, actually seemed to have a good chance of directly destroying Jiangling in one go.
But the problem lies here. Sun Quan's preparation for the battle was hasty, the sergeants made a temporary arrangement, and the generals were not well-organized. In addition, they themselves were unknown, and the fighting spirit of the army was not high. They only won the victory when they had the upper hand.
After such a victory, after Zhuge Liang and others of Liu Bei's army reacted, regained their strength, and calmly accepted the challenge, for nearly a month, Lu Meng led an army of nearly 50,000 to attack Changsha City for a long time - and finally delayed
By the time Sun Quan panicked and wanted to order Lü Meng to retreat, Guan Yu, who was stationed in the north of Nanjun, had already led his navy to catch up to the river.
The final result can also be imagined.
The reason why Sun Quan made frequent mistakes was that he planned to marry Sun Shangxiang as a condition for peace, but in the end he lost both his personal wealth and even Zhou Yu's life.
Isn't it because Lu Meng on the river led an army that was superior in strength, but was defeated by Guan Yu and was completely wiped out?
After that, few people seemed to pay attention to Lu Meng anymore.
Lu Meng was a very self-respecting man. After losing the battle, he naturally resigned from all official positions and returned to his hometown in Wu County to honor his mother.
Time flies and half a year has passed.
Maybe if Zhou Yu hadn't died and Sun Quan had fallen, Lu Meng would never have thought that he would be re-elected.
During the time when he served his mother, Lu Meng was not idle. It is said that he knows his shame and then becomes brave. Although he did not intend to return to the official position because he felt that he was really sorry for his fallen comrades, he also felt that he was defeated by Guan Yu.
It was so miserable that he didn't dare to live in such a confused way for the rest of his life.
So he chose to study——
As it turns out, it turns out that sadness often gives people motivation.
Lu Meng, who had devoted himself to studying the ancient books on the art of war, suddenly shined brighter than before after being suddenly picked up by Zhang Zhao.
The so-called separation of three days means seeing each other with admiration. Although they are at different times, they are still the same person.
This is why Zhang Zhao chose Lu Meng, a general from the Mesozoic Era, to become the candidate for the Governor-General, even though there were obviously many veteran generals in the army.
