"It seems that Sun Quan is very confident, and he has calculated whether this king will not be able to promise him to pay tribute?" Su Zhe said coldly.

Kan Ze hurriedly said humbly: "How dare you dare, my lord is in awe of the divine power of the King of Wei, and sincerely wants to be a vassal to the King of Wei, and it is also in a sincere heart, I want to guard Jiangdong for the King of Wei and the imperial court, and I also hope that the King of Wei will be Mingjian." ”

Although Kan Ze's words were full of respect, there was already a bit of self-confidence in his tone, as if he expected that Su Zhe would agree to the conditions he offered.

Syllable!

Su Zhe suddenly slapped the case, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Where is Xu Zhongkang, immediately cut off the ears of this surnamed Kan to this king!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Kan Ze was shocked, and the trace of self-confidence on his face disappeared in an instant, he never expected Su Zhe to talk about it well, and suddenly turned his face when he said it.

It's just a matter of turning his face, the big deal is that the negotiations broke down, he never expected that Su Zhe's methods were so ruthless that he would cut off his ears.

"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoys, King Wei, how can you do this to me!"

Kan Ze was shocked and angry, and his voice was hoarse and screamed.

Su Zhe sneered: "You also said that the two countries will not kill each other when they are at war, and this king has no intention of killing you, but he just wants to cut off one of your ears." ”

Strong words......

The reason why he can use strong words is because Su Zhe is a strong man, and only a strong man has the power to make rules and break rules.

"King Wei, you, you-" Kan Ze, who was brilliant in self-questioning and argumentation, faced the domineering and unreasonable Su Zhe, and was also held back and didn't know how to refute.

At this time, Xu Chu had already strode forward, picked up Kan Ze like a chicken in one hand, and pulled out a knife with the other hand, aiming at his ear.

"Ahh

Kan Ze screamed, covered with the gushing blood, and collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.

Su Zhe admired his miserable appearance, and said coldly: "You go back and tell that Biyan'er, negotiate with this king and play tricks, he is still a little tender, you let him either get out of the city and kneel down to see this king, or wash his neck, wait for that knife, get out!" ”

"Don't you understand, King Wei told you to get out!" Xu Chu stepped down and kicked Kan Ze to the ground.

Kan Ze was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to cover his wounds and escape from the king's tent with a crawl, for fear of being one step slower, Su Zhe changed his mind and directly asked for his life.

Looking at Kan Ze, who fled in embarrassment, all the generals exclaimed, clapped their hands and cheered, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Meng, Ling Cao and other generals couldn't help but shudder in their hearts when they saw their former colleagues being ravaged by Su Zhe so brutally, and secretly congratulated themselves that they had surrendered to Su Zhe in time, otherwise they were afraid that they would also suffer the same torture as Kan Ze.

After calming down the terrifying state of mind, Lu Meng arched his hand and said: "King Wei, Sun Quan wants to be a minister and pay tribute, but he does not sacrifice his land and surrender, although he is not sincere enough, but we may not be able to break through this Jianye City as soon as possible, after all, Liu Bei's strength in Jingzhou is too strong, and we can't drag it out in Jiangdong for too long." ”

"Sun Quan thought that he could drag it out and wanted to negotiate terms with this king, so this king would teach him a good lesson and let him know the end of playing tricks in front of this king."

After that, Su Zhe picked up a pen to repair a book, handed it to Xu Chu, and whispered in his ear.

"The last will understand." Xu Chu got the order, took the letter and left in a hurry.

Lu Meng looked at Su Zhe's move, and his heart became more and more curious, and he couldn't help but guess who Su Zhe's letter was addressed to, and why he was so confident, and it was expected that Sun Quan would not be able to defend Jianye City for a long time.

"Come on, come on, let's drink, sit and wait for Jianye City to arrive." Su Zhe's expression became relaxed, and he raised his head and drank wine.

Lu Meng and the other generals looked at each other, their eyes were full of suspicion and surprise, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only accompany Su Zhe to drink.

……

In Jianye City, in the lobby of the military government.

Sun Quan was setting up a banquet to wash the dust for Lu Xun, and the atmosphere between the lords and ministers was harmonious.

"Bo Yan, you came in time, with your 5,000 fresh troops, I will not have to worry about defending Jianye City, come, drink this cup." Sun Quan raised his glass with a smile.

Lu Xun hurriedly raised his glass, but said: "The last general heard that Jianye was in danger, so after quelling the rebellion of the Shanyue people, he rushed back non-stop, but fortunately arrived in time." ”

Saying that, Lu Xun also drank it all.

After the wine was drunk, Lu Xun said: "Xun heard that General Zhongmou sent Kan Ze to the Wei camp and wanted to pay tribute to Su Zhe, so I forgive Xun for asking a lot, with the arrogant temperament of the lord, will he be a minister to Su Zhe?" ”

Sun Quan was embarrassed to answer directly, coughed dryly, and glanced at Lu Su.

Lu Su's face was solemn and he sighed: "That's the case, we got the news not long ago that General Bo Fu was trapped in Hefei, and it is very likely that he has been broken by the Su thieves and died in the chaos. ”

"Is that so?" Lu Xun was taken aback, and the wine glass in his hand fell off his hand.

"That's true." Lu Su sighed: "It is precisely because of the death of General Bo Fu that I Jiangdong cannot be left without an owner for a day, so General Zhongmou was ordered to take charge of Jiangdong and lead us through this crisis." ”

After a pause, he continued: "But at present, our army has lost troops, and the available soldiers are less than 20,000, and there is no way to fight with Su Zhe again, so General Zhongmou endured the humiliation and pretended to pay tribute to the Su thief, in exchange for the Su thief's retreat, and save my Jiangdong from danger." ”

At this time, Sun Quan had tears in his eyes, and he choked up and sighed: "This Jiangdong foundation belongs to my brother, and I am also temporarily keeping it on behalf of my brother. ”

At this time, the old minister Zhang Zhao also stood up, and said solemnly: "General Zhongmou did not hesitate to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens in order to save my Jiangdong, if he can really survive this crisis, with this merit and prestige, he is enough to be the lord of Jiangdong, even if he is the eldest lord of the little prince, there is no reason to replace him." ”

Zhang Zhao originally mentioned it to Sun Ce, advocating that Jiangdong should surrender to Su Zhe and comply with the mandate of heaven, so he annoyed Sun Ce and was snubbed by him.

Now that Sun Quan was planning to pay tribute and become a minister, he thought of Zhang Zhao and decisively used him, wanting to use Zhang Zhao's prestige to help him stabilize people's hearts.

Sun Quan's thoughts coincided with Zhang Zhao, and the two hit it off, and Zhang Zhao naturally stepped forward to stand up for Sun Quan.

It was precisely because of Zhang Zhao's strong support and Zhou Yu being sent to Jiaozhou that Sun Quan's move did not encounter too much opposition.

After Lu Xun watched the performance of Sun Quan and others, his eyes rolled a few times, and he immediately stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed deeply to Sun Quan.

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, endure the humiliation for a while, pay tribute and call the ministers, in exchange for a chance to breathe, it is indeed the best policy, the lord has the wonder of hooking and practice, and he is worthy of my lord of Jiangdong, please accept Lu Xun's worship."

He was even more straightforward, he didn't even call General Zhongmou, and directly called him "lord".

That "lord", Sun Quan, who listened to it, was extremely useful, and his heart was so comfortable that he almost laughed out loud.

Zhang Zhao and Lu Su, as well as Zhou Tai and other generals, also bowed down one after another, honoring Sun Quan as the main prince.

Sun Quan stroked his purple hair lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of imperceptible pride.

He didn't dare to show his pride, he was busy helping the ministers up the lower ranks, and said with a straight face: "I am really relieved that you can understand my hardships, from today on, my Sun Quan will definitely work with you to tide over the difficulties together, and we must keep the foundation left by our brother." ”

Everyone hurriedly expressed their attitude generously, claiming that they were willing to swear to assist Sun Quan.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the hall hurriedly entered, claiming that Kan Ze had returned from an envoy and was asking to see him outside.

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Good news is coming, pass him in quickly." ”

The soldiers retreated, and after a while, Kan Ze stumbled into the lobby and fell to his knees in front of the steps.

Everyone in the hall, when they saw the tragic situation of Kan Ze's severed ear, they were all shocked and changed color.
