Chapter 1,135: Position changes, conflicts escalate
"so…"
Lu Xun seemed to want to say something more, but Sun Quan lowered his head and waved his hand.
"No need to say any more..."
"It seems...I have always been too optimistic."
"Jiangdong...has fallen to the point where he has to ask outsiders for help..."
A painful fact faced Sun Quan.
In fact, Jiangdong's vitality had been seriously damaged even after his defeat in the great battle with Liu Bei years ago.
But it happened that Sun Quan came up with a marriage plan that looked very good under such circumstances.
As everyone knows, the conflicts caused by this incident within Jiangdong accelerated Jiangdong's decline.
In this marriage, the four families of Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang have each obtained the resources they need most.
Only Sun Quan lost all his support.
However, at this time, Jiangdong still has a glimmer of hope.
At this most important moment - Zhou Yu's death was a final decision, and Jiang Dong lost all possibility of resistance.
Only now did Sun Quan realize that Jiangdong was rotten from the inside out.
Under such circumstances, no matter what Lu Xun and others did, they were only making final remedies on a ruined wall.
In fact, now Sun Quan can completely vent his anger on these guys who indirectly caused Jiangdong's decline, but the problem is - he himself is the real initiator of Jiangdong's decline.
So Sun Quan is really disappointed now.
Although - even though Lu Xun and Lu Meng's coordinated plan was almost seamless.
Later, Lu Xun immediately explained when Lu Meng joined forces with him.
However, even now that he knew that the two of them had planned to defeat Zhang Zhao on this day as early as two months ago, Sun Quan was already absent-minded.
"Although we know Zhang Zhao's movements, it is impossible for me to counterattack him until the last moment."
"And I'm afraid that when Zhang Zhao comes back this time, he will definitely bring Liu Beijun to Jiangdong. If Zhu Huan is willing to resist, we may still have three to five days to buffer, but if Zhu Huan plans to let Zhang Zhao deal with it first
Our words——"
Lu Meng was discussing the next strategy with Lu Xun.
Although Zhang Zhao's departure gave Lu Meng and Lu Xun more time to discuss countermeasures, they still found it difficult to face the approaching Liu Beijun.
But at this moment, Sun Quan finally spoke again:
"Don't think about it anymore."
"Huh? Lord...you mean..."
Lu Xun glanced at Sun Quan, who had been silent since just now, and saw a faint feeling of relief on his expression. He probably understood what Sun Quan meant.
"Bo Yan, Yi Xiaotian...do you have any way to get in touch with me?"
As soon as Sun Quan said these words, it basically meant that his position had completely changed.
Lu Xun, who understood what Sun Quan meant, stretched out his hand to hold Sun Quan's trembling shoulders:
"Lord, I've been waiting for your words."
——
The current situation is that Sun Quan has accepted that his side urgently needs outside help to resolve internal conflicts.
Only in Jiangdong, the two sides fighting have become the Jiangdong old faction led by Liu Bei and others, and the Jiangdong new faction who is about to receive the assistance of Yi Xiaotian.
In a sense, it can of course be compared to a head-on confrontation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Jiangdong.
Since the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei has actually not fought against Cao Cao in the north for a long time.
Although in the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei almost lost all the advantages he had accumulated in recent years.
However, because there had been no war in Jingnan for a long time, Liu Zhang had no time to take care of Liu Bei, who was bent on retreating. As a result, Liu Bei did not suffer as severe a blow as Sun Quan did this year in the subsequent stages.
In the following time, coupled with the advantages given by Sun Quan, the advantage between Liu Bei and Jiangdong was completely reversed.
Although in terms of overall strength, Liu Bei and the entire Jiangdong force may not be as good as Cao Cao, but still the same sentence - before the advantage can no longer become a victory, all blind optimism is a crime.
Finally, after Sun Quan figured it out, the ongoing voting has actually become an act of maintaining stability on the surface.
The real final word is yet to come.
The big one...is coming.
——
These days, things seem to be a little calm in the north.
After Cao Cao founded the country, people had no chance to see Cao Cao again. Cao Cao himself was reviewing some memorials all day long, and seemed very busy.
But...is this really the case?
Hefei...
After experiencing several wars, Hefei finally ushered in a short period of development.
Because of Zhang Liao's outstanding performance in several battles in Hefei, and because of Yi Xiaotian's several suggestions, Cao Cao completely bound Zhang Liao to Hefei.
Moreover, with the support of Xiangyang Craftsman Workshop, Hefei's reconstruction was rapid.
Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Hefei seems to have surpassed Shouchun.
but--
On the surface, Hefei is booming, and it seems that Zhang Liao is also building Hefei into a defensive center on Wei's eastern front.
But in fact, Hefei has another important identity behind the scenes.
The second day of October in the fifteenth year of Jian'an.
It is also the fourth day of the ongoing voting in Jiangdong.
Outside Hefei City, on the north bank of Shishui River, taking advantage of the cool autumn weather and thick fog, a group of silent travelers came to the ferry.
The travelers were all wearing hats and cloaks. Although their faces could not be clearly seen, judging from their appearance, there should be men and women in this group of people.
But what really made people feel oppressive was the group of people wearing black clothes who followed them not far away.
Compared to this group of people who had a more relaxed atmosphere, the group of black-clad people behind were really murderous.
But it was obvious that they were not here to assassinate this group of travelers. On the contrary, they were traveling together and shouldered the important responsibility of protecting this group of travelers.
Everyone moved forward slowly, and soon arrived at the ferry - unlike usual, the boatman at the ferry seemed not to be there, replaced by a rush boat driven by Hefei's regular army.
This kind of small boat is shaped like a long shuttle and is extremely long and narrow in appearance. Although it cannot transport all kinds of debris, it is indeed quite effective if it wants to carry people.
Not only that, because of its streamlined design, this small boat can explode at extremely fast speeds with only eight people paddling.
For this group of people who want to cross the river quickly and land quietly, it is definitely the most suitable means of transportation.
In fact, by this point, the identity of this group of people is already obvious.
After all, even Zhang Liao came to see him off in person, so his identity and status need not be mentioned.
When they reached the ferry, the leader raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop.
From a distance, Zhang Liao led a group of cavalry and came slowly. When he saw everyone standing still, he got off his horse, and a look of sadness appeared on his face before he opened his mouth.
