Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters release Sun Quan
Jinling City.
After Lu Su met Sun Quan secretly, Han Hao convened a court meeting the next day to discuss strategies to fight against Sun Ce.
During this court meeting, Lu Su hardly said a word. He just found a corner in the hall and stayed there quietly without saying a word.
Han Hao thought he had defeated Lu Su. His majesty increased and his self-confidence was unprecedentedly strong. He looked around at the people around him and said: "Everyone, Sun Ce is currently camping not far outside the city. In response to this matter, do you have any advice?"
What’s the way to defeat the enemy?”
After the generals in Jinling whispered for a while, they gave advice to Han Hao one by one.
However, their advice is not very useful and has little actual effect.
None of the suggestions available.
Han Hao was helpless as there was no substantive retreat strategy. In the end, he could only look at Lu Su.
But Lu Su just lowered his head and didn't look at him at all.
But at this moment, General Xu Sheng stood up and spoke.
"Mr. Hanfu, in my opinion, although the Lujiang River is a rich land in the Jianghuai River and has a vast territory, it is not enough to fight against the entire south of the Yangtze River. If the prime minister hadn't gone north to mobilize most of the southern army, we would have
Sun Ce has been defeated long ago and has returned to attack Lujiang!"
Han Hao grinned and sighed: "What's the use of talking about this now? The top priority is to discuss how to deal with them!"
Xu Sheng said hurriedly: "Although our army is not strong enough at the moment, I heard that the Prime Minister has withdrawn his troops and returned to Pengcheng Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, reinforcements will arrive in one month. And we just need to delay and wait for the opportunity."
Han Hao frowned: "You said it's easy to delay, but how to delay?"
Xu Sheng cupped his hands and said, "The general has a plan that may be useful."
Han Hao hurriedly asked: "What's the plan?"
Xu Sheng said: "Isn't there a Sun Quan in our city? This person is Sun Ce's second brother. He has been detained here as a hostage by the prime minister. If he is used as a bargaining chip in negotiations, it may be delayed for a while."
As soon as he said these words, Han Hao suddenly realized. He raised his hand and patted his forehead and said: "That's right, yes! You can use Sun Quan to talk to Sun Ce."
…
After the court meeting was over, Pan Zhang quietly went to Sun Ce's camp on Lu Su's order and told him everything that had been discussed during the court meeting.
Sun Ce was surprised at that time.
"Could it be that this is what Lu Zijing said to me before as a greeting gift?"
Pan Zhang nodded and said: "The implication of Lu Shenjun's words was that there was a gap between him and Lord Han this time, and it was not convenient for him to give advice. So he found Xu Sheng before the court meeting and told him his thoughts.
, Xu Sheng believed deeply in the proposal to join the army, so he advised Han Hao and asked Han Hao to use Sun Quan to negotiate with General Sun."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ce's eyes suddenly lit up.
He stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, with a look of excitement that could not be concealed on his face.
After all, the love between brothers is deep, and Sun Quan fell into the hands of a pottery merchant. This incident has always been a heartache for Sun Ce.
Unexpectedly, Lu Su would actually make a fuss about this matter for him, and Sun Ce was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
When he was young, he saw Sun Ce stopped, raised his hands to Pan Zhang and said, "General, please go back and tell Lu Canjun for me. Sun will remember his kindness and will repay him in the future."
Pan Zhang said: "I don't dare, I don't dare. General Sun will seize the opportunity to do what he wants. Lu will be rewarded generously for joining the army in the future."
…
At the same time, Han Hao quietly visited Lu Su: "Brother Zijing, how are the injuries on your body? I can't help you."
Lu Su smiled and waved his hand: "How did Han Fujun say this? It's all for the important affairs of the court, so what's the point of getting hurt?"
Han Hao looked at the bloody gauze that had just been replaced on the table next to Lu Su.
Han Hao couldn't help but show a regretful expression on his face.
"Oh, if I had known that Zi Jing would suffer such a heavy punishment on you, there is nothing I could have done to you!"
Lu Su shook his head and said: "It's all a trivial matter, why bother? Besides, the soldiers who executed me still had some serious injuries. Although I was beaten to a bloody pulp, they were all skin injuries and no muscles or bones were injured...
By the way, let’s get down to business quickly.”
Han Hao admired Lu Su so much when he saw how lightly he ignored his injuries.
"I have chosen an envoy and sent him to Sun Camp to negotiate with Sun Quan and Sun Ce."
Lu Su nodded and said: "Tell the envoy that although Sun Quan must return it to Sun Ce, it is best not to agree so quickly. Put more conditions and keep talking to Sun Ce. Since we are pretending, let's just pretend.
Like some.”
Han Hao nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for this matter. Zijing just plans it secretly. Han will do whatever you say."
…
The next day, Han Hao sent an envoy from Jinling to Sun Ce's Dazhai for negotiations.
The main issue that the envoys went to negotiate was that Sun Ce was a vassal of the pottery merchants. He relied on the pottery merchants' help to sit in Lujiang and become the overlord of the Jianghuai River. Now he took advantage of the opportunity and betrayed his faith. If his father Sun Wentai was alive in heaven,
, knowing that Sun Ce acted like this, he would definitely not forgive him...
The reason for Sun Ce's rebuttal was also very clear. He had served the pottery merchant for many years, but the pottery merchant detained his second brother and put Sun Quan under house arrest. Such measures were really chilling. He raised the army this time for no other reason than to rescue his second brother.
Sun Quan and so on...
The two sides went back and forth, arguing, and Sun Ce demanded that Jinling release Sun Quan unconditionally and deliver money, grain, and war horses as compensation.
Jinling, on the other hand, demanded that he withdraw his troops unconditionally and so on.
The two sides argued back and forth like this for several days. Finally, Sun Ce couldn't bear it anymore and threatened not to talk anymore. He would burn the land hundreds of miles around Jinling until Jinling was willing to send Sun Quan back.
In the end, Han Hao gave in and asked Sun Ce to withdraw his troops, so they sent Sun Quan back.
Sun Ce asked them to send their people back first before he withdrew his troops.
After several more delays, Jinling finally sent Sun Quan back.
When the two brothers met, Sun Quan could not help but hold Sun Ce's thigh and cry bitterly.
Seeing Sun Quan crying pitifully, Sun Ce was filled with emotion.
The second brother suffered.
He helped Sun Quan up, warmed him up from the cold, and asked how Sun Quan was doing during this time.
Sun Quan briefly told Sun Ce about his situation and what he saw and heard in Jinling City.
Finally, Sun Quan asked Sun Ce: "Brother, do you know a man named Lu Su?"
When Sun Ce heard this name, he was immediately shocked. He hurriedly said: "Second brother, have you seen this person?"
Sun Quan nodded and said: "When I came here, I met this person once. This person once discussed the future of our Sun family with me...Brother, Lu Su is truly a rare person.
What a capable person! In my opinion, he is no longer inferior to Zhou Gongjin!"
Hearing Sun Quan praise Lu Su so much, Sun Ce became more and more curious about this person: "What did this person say that made his second brother praise him so much?"
Sun Quan whispered: "This man told his younger brother that if the Sun family wants to gain a foothold in the world, they need to unite the three Lius in the west and the Tao Shang in the north, divide the river to rule, and divide the world into three parts!"
"Three parts of the world?" Sun Ce immediately became excited when he heard this: "Second brother, please be more careful."
At that moment, Sun Quan taught Sun Ce exactly what Lu Su had used to fool him.
Upon hearing this retelling, Sun Ce's eyes lit up, his face flushed, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
Sun Quan's retelling of Lu Su's words almost brought Sun Ce to a climax.
