Cao Cao's declaration of victory definitely put pressure on Zhang Zhao to make decisions.
On the one hand, he thought that the tug-of-war between him and Liu Bei really didn't make much sense, and on the other hand, he realized that if Cao Cao claimed the throne at this time, Jiangdong, which would then fall into chaos, would definitely become Cao Cao's next target.
Therefore, it is urgent to recruit Liu Bei into the group.
Under such circumstances, he chose to contact Liu Bei immediately and seize all the time to strive for a final decision.
On the other side, Lu Xun and others also received the news that Cao Cao had proclaimed himself a duke and founded the country.
Lu Xun didn't react much this time, but Sun Quan panicked.
Originally, he was still preaching and canvassing passionately outside today. When he heard the news that Cao Cao was proclaimed king, Sun Quan rushed directly to the Lu Mansion without looking back.
"Bo Yan! Boyan! That's not good! Have you...did you receive the news?"
"Cao Cao, he..."
As a result, Lu Xun was seen drinking a small drink calmly and showed no signs of being affected by the news, which made Sun Quan somewhat difficult to understand for a moment.
"Lord, relax, what you have to do now is to do the things right now. Whether Cao Cao has been crowned duke and established the country, it is Zhang Zhao and the others who should feel the pressure."
Lu Xun smiled and shook his head, comforting Sun Quan and waving to Sun Quan.
"But...if Cao Cao takes advantage of our entanglement and interferes with it...even if we win in the end, won't Cao Cao benefit in the end?"
Sun Quan was very anxious. Lu Xun's previous arrangements allowed him to see the dawn of victory.
But now Cao Cao's problem has emerged - the key is that Sun Quan suddenly thought of a very serious problem in his anxiety.
"Bo Yan..."
"There is something I may not have told you. Do you know the origin of the exhibition hall where Shang Xiang and the others were taken away?"
Sun Quan's eyes widened and he recalled many bad things.
My thoughts also drifted to the time before Zhou Yu's death——
The reason why Zhou Yu fell ill was not because of the inhuman abuse he suffered in prison.
The fact is that even Zhang Zhao just wanted to lock Zhou Yu aside at that time. As long as Zhou Yu didn't come out for a while, he would have the ability to take advantage of the situation and take power.
But if Jiangdong loses such a soul figure as Zhou Yu, how could Zhang Zhao be stupid enough to do such a thing?
Just look at the predicament he is currently facing alone against the three families. If Zhou Yu is by his side at this time, even if the difficulty cannot be solved, it can at least make the situation less embarrassing.
What really caused Zhou Yu to suddenly lose heart and suddenly fall ill was the news that Sun Quan personally brought.
"Master, are you talking about Yi Xiaotian?"
"ha?"
As a result, when Sun Quan was anxious, Lu Xun suddenly answered him with a half-smile, which made Zhou Yu extremely stunned for a moment.
He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. His vision gradually became distorted, and bad memories filled his mind, making him unable to even think for a while.
This is how the same thing?
Sun Quan was so shocked, or in other words, Sun Quan suffered so many blows since Zhou Yu's death that when he was thinking, he would always avoid the scene of Zhou Yu's death. As a result, he could not think of Yi for a long time.
Xiaotian’s relationship with that time.
"Of course I know."
"Because I knew it, I approved the plan to join forces with him at that time."
"Only in this way can I defeat the Grand Governor and successfully stand where I am now."
"But don't worry, lord. As far as I know, Yi Xiaotian has no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, lord will not just be ignored by us."
"Wait wait...wait a minute!"
Lu Xun spoke very calmly, but the information contained in this passage made Sun Quan unable to figure it out for a while.
Sun Quan's eyes changed. Looking at the young man in front of him, he suddenly felt an extremely strange feeling.
Lu Xun?
Yi Xiaotian?
"You...you knew that the other party was Yi Xiaotian, but you still chose to cooperate with him?"
"Lu Xun... let me ask you, you... what is your relationship with Cao Cao?"
Now Sun Quan is stupid.
In his impression, Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao were conceptually equivalent.
When he was chasing the other party, he knew that the other party was Yi Xiaotian.
But because he was too shocked, or because Zhou Yu suddenly fell ill, Sun Quan didn't have time to think about it carefully.
The key...the key point is that when Zhou Yu learned about Lu Xun's cooperation with Yi Xiaotian, he did not clarify the relationship between the two - not only did he not, he even persuaded him to cooperate with Lu Xun.
This...what does this mean?
Do these people think that the cooperation between Lu Xun and Yi Xiaotian is natural and has no problems?
In Sun Quan's eyes, this was clearly a matter of principle.
Cooperating with such a powerful enemy could not help but put Zhou Yu in jail, and also caused him to lose all status and power. Now this man is sitting in front of him, calmly explaining such a treasonous fact. Doesn't he feel guilty?
?
Sun Quan's eyes were complicated, filled with countless emotions.
However, Lu Xun still sat where he was:
"Lord, I know what you are thinking, and to tell you the truth, most of this plan is exactly what Yi Xiaotian told me before he left."
"Now that we are able to drag Zhang Zhao into such a dilemma, we cannot do without your efforts and Yi Xiaotian's suggestions. If you put it this way, I don't know if you can accept it."
Sun Quan was completely numb. Lu Xun told everything so calmly, making Sun Quan feel that the hope he had felt for so many days was just a favor given by others.
To sum up, it seems that Yi Xiaotian has him in his hands from the beginning to the end. Whether he is on stage or off stage, he is easily controlled by the other party.
As for him, he just lives in his own little world and feels excited about the turn of events from time to time.
In the end, he never escaped from this captive environment.
So what is the meaning of his existence?
"Haha... So that's it... So I'm the only one who was kept in the dark, right?"
Sun Quan smiled. Looking at Lu Xun's harmless face, Sun Quan laughed with great pain.
"No, lord, I haven't told anyone about this matter, because as I said before, I have no intention of fighting for the master of Jiangdong. Now that the governor is dead, my wish has been fulfilled. I want to resist Zhang Zhao.
I support my lord just because if I don’t do this, it will be difficult for the Lu family to gain a foothold in Jiangdong in the future.”
"From the beginning to the end, I was just fighting for the possibility of the Lu family's survival."
"We are in a cooperative relationship. Have you forgotten, my lord?"
Lu Xun's words went straight into Sun Quan's heart, and he didn't know how to refute Lu Xun for a while.
Self-indulgent?
Perhaps this word is the most suitable to describe myself.
