Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sun Quan's Choice

Fa Zheng expressed his intentions. */.//* Sun Quan smiled: Could it be that Emperor Liu's nephew caused a big disaster and felt that he couldn't fight against Li Hui, so he wanted to join forces with me and make the Lone King a pawn?

Fa Zheng hurriedly said: King Wu is wrong, my majesty ambushed Li Hui for the Han River, Li Hui controls the Central Plains, Hebei several states, and expeditions outside the Saiwai, holding a large piece of land, still not satisfied, coveting you and me, this time Li Hui transferred troops to Jingzhou is for the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu, if we kill each other again, wouldn't it just happen to fall into Li Hui's 'traitor' scheme?

Zhang Zhaodao: Is Mr. Fa wrong, this war between you and us was first provoked by Emperor Liu's nephew, how can it be a cannibalism?

No matter who provoked the war, now Li Hui is our biggest enemy, Li Hui is not destroyed, the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu will not be able to live in peace, our Majesty has sent people to Wei to discuss the alliance. Fa Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Quan: King Wu is a wise man, and he will not fail to understand the key to this, Li Hui's move is no different from Cao's 'Cao' going south back then, both have the intention of annexing Jingzhou and sweeping the south of the Yangtze River!

Sun Quan nodded involuntarily. Fa Zheng saw that Sun Quan was already moved, and continued: Li Hui is powerful, not the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu, one family can resist alone, King Wu should understand the truth of the 'lip' death and tooth cold, Li Hui occupies Jingzhou, he will divide the three families, he is only happy, he may eat any of them at any time, and I am afraid that he will be unable to return to heaven at that time!

Yu said: Since Emperor Liu's nephew intends to unite, why don't you withdraw the troops first?

Fa Zhengdao: Li Hui entrenched in Jingbei and mobilized a large army, and His Majesty's 300,000 troops were stranded in Badong to ensure the safety of Shu.

Hehe! Zhuge Jin smiled: Badong is the land of our Eastern Wu, which was forcibly occupied by Liu Bei, and now it is such a word? If Liu Bei intends to unite, he will retreat to Linjiang first!

Fa Zheng glanced at a few people, and said to Sun Quan: King Wu, Li Hui's army is already on the way, if you can't make a decision immediately, there will be unexpected consequences, think about it back then, o is not an alliance between His Majesty and Eastern Wu, Cao 'Cao' has already annexed Jiangdong, where is the current momentum of King Wu, His Majesty is willing to put down 'private' enmity and form an alliance with King Wu, that is for the sake of righteousness, King Wu must not ignore the safety of Jiangdong for these petty profits!

Sending Fa Zheng away, Sun Quan carefully thought about Fa Zheng's words. understands that what Fa Zheng said is reasonable, Li Hui has now become the biggest threat to Wei Shu Wu, if Li Hui cannot be dealt with well, Dongwu will be destroyed in his own hands sooner or later. But Li Hui is not so easy to mess with, Dongwu is already under Li Hui's three-sided encirclement, and there is Li Hui's naval army stationed outside Jianye City, in case of failure, Dongwu will bear the brunt of Li Hui's prey.

Sun Quan asked Zhang Zhao: Sir, do you think we should unite with Liu Bei?

Zhang Zhao did not answer Sun Quan directly, but asked rhetorically: Does the lord want long-term stability or temporary glory?

What is long-term stability? What is a momentary brilliance? Sun Quan asked.

Zhang Zhaodao: The place controlled by Li Hui is more than thousands of miles, to the north and east are boundless, the three alliances may be able to defeat Li Hui, but the lord has not thought about it, what kind of person is Li Hui, the millions of people under his command, some are flashing and moving, a little careless, just retreat, and we can't, the place is small, the three families can unite for a while, drive Li Hui out of Jingzhou, wait for Li Hui to recover his vitality, Liu Bei is deep in Yizhou, the road in Yizhou is dangerous, and our Jiangdong, the sea in the east, and the big river in the north, are all places where Li Hui can easily jump over, At that time, will Liu Bei help me?

What do you mean by sir\\? Sun Quan didn't understand what Zhang Zhao was about.

Zhang Zhaodao: We Dongwu have a deep friendship with Li Hui since the old lord was alive, although Li Hui is cunning, but he is also a righteous person, for the sake of the old master, I dare to guarantee that Li Hui will not be the first to move us, even if we annex Jiangdong in the future, the lord and the family will not be in big trouble, such as the situation has gradually become clear today, the lord and not do things against the will of God!

Sun Quan let out a sigh: Then we will reject Liu Bei!

No, no, no! Zhang Zhao immediately waved his hand: The lord didn't understand what I meant, let's protect ourselves, just direct Li Hui's eyes elsewhere, Liu Bei can't assassinate Li Hui now, it is when Li Hui is angry, we can take this opportunity to lead the troubled water to Yizhou!

Mr. wants Li Hui to attack Liu Bei? Sun Quan asked: But at present, Li Hui's intention is Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is my Jiangdong territory!

Zhang Zhao smiled: Jingzhou will not be able to hold it sooner or later, why don't you give up, give it to Li Hui, and let Li Hui block Liu Bei for us?

Jingzhou is a strategic place, so it's a pity to give it up like this! Sun Quan shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Zhaodao: Although Jingzhou is good, it is also a place of four wars, there is no strong strength, it is impossible to control this place, the lord can order Lu Xun to retreat to Chaisang, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, first, we can think of Li Hui to show our position, and second, to put Liu Bei under Li Hui's eyes, so that Li Hui can relax our Jiangdong moves!

Just gave up Jingzhou like this, Sun Quan was a little reluctant and couldn't make up his mind. Three days passed quickly, and today was the time to give Fa Zheng an answer, and Fa Zheng, who had been standing in front of the big 'gate' of Wu Wang's Mansion early, was waiting for Sun Quan's summons. But it's been three poles in the day, and there is still no word coming from inside. Fa Zheng was a little anxious, if Sun Quan refused to unite, Liu Bei would definitely kill himself.

Zhang Hong staggered over from the other side of the street drunk. The smell of alcohol all over his body, and his unkempt appearance knew at a glance that he must have not returned all night and went to drink. Today's Zhang Hong has become a lonely person in Jiangdong, who doesn't want to be together, even Zhang Zhao, who is from the same sect, looks down on him. It's all because of the escapist law.

Fa Zheng has never met Zhang Hong. I saw a drunken man break into King Wu's mansion directly, and the guards guarding the 'door' did not stop him. Fa Zheng immediately realized that this person must have a lot of origin. hurriedly stepped forward and swept the floor: This gentleman is good, Xiaguan Shuhan suggested that Zhonglang Fazheng is polite!

Zhang Hong glanced at Fa Zheng and pushed the wine jar in his hand in front of Fa Zheng: Do you drink? Fa Zheng nodded.

All right! You have a drink with me! Zhang Hong stretched out his hand and grabbed Fazheng's clothes and left. Fa Zheng had no choice but to follow Zhang Honglang to leave Wu Wangfu and go to the bustling street.

The two came to a tavern, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came up: Oops! Mr. Zhang, here you are again! Come on, come on, inside please!

Fa Zheng quietly called the shopkeeper aside: Who is this person? casually 'touched' a few copper coins from his bosom and threw them into the hands of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked Fa Zheng up and down, with an expression of disbelief: This gentleman, you are here with Mr. Zhang, and you don't know who it is? But there are people with great backgrounds.
