Xu Sheng nodded in agreement: "Zhang Yilang is right. If there were such a powerful assassin in Jiangdong, my lord would not be able to dominate the world long ago? What about Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, what about Lu Bu, Tao Qian, Zhang Lu, Liu Yan? If you are not convinced, it will be over with assassination, my lord, do you think so or not?"
Sun Quan's eyelids twitched a few times but he didn't answer. He thought to himself, "You guys don't have any intention, right?"
Seeing that Xu Sheng was talking about a taboo topic, Zhang Zhao quickly changed the subject and said, "My lord, Cao Pi is also the leader of Wei after all. If he wants to start a war, he can do it openly. There is no need to slander Jiangdong like this. Do you think someone will put the blame on it?"
"What the military advisor said is true. The Sima family is a prominent family in Hanoi. If it is really destroyed by the enemy, it will definitely shake the entire Central Plains..." Sun Quan said to himself and felt sweat on his forehead.
Sun Quan has been checking and balancing the Jiangdong noble clan for many years, and he is well aware of how powerful the powerful noble clan is. If he really wears this crown of sin, he is afraid that the Sun family will be infamy for thousands of years.
Zhang Zhao heard Sun Quan's words and echoed: "Strife between big clans has existed since ancient times, but such thunderous methods are not common. I can't imagine that it was done by outsiders. If Liu Bei and Guan Yu really sent people to do it, it is difficult to explain why they didn't directly I guess the assassination of Cao Pi must have been carried out by someone from within the Wei State..."
"Tzuyu, tell me everything you know." Sun Quan ordered.
Zhuge Jin nodded and replied: "According to the recently received information, all members of the Sima family in Xudu and Yecheng were assassinated by assassins on the same day. They also hunted down the murderer not long ago, and a total of more than two hundred people were executed. Destroy..."
"There is no evidence to prove it? Wouldn't it be better to leave a few alive for interrogation? Cao Pi's methods are no worse than Cao Cao." Sun Quan raised his blue eyes.
"It's said that he is a dead soldier...there is no way to interrogate him..." Zhuge Jin added.
Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Dead warrior, do you believe it? Is there any other news?"
"The other thing is the attitude of Wei State. No one seems to care about Yu Jin's life or death. I heard that he is very popular in Wei State..." Zhuge Jin lowered his head.
"I have been promoted to General Zuo because of my popularity. I feel that my status is even higher than that of Zhang Liao..." Xu Sheng stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence, wondering why I had touched a taboo again.
Sun Quan held his chin and fell into deep thought. He knew something about Yu Jin's situation. He didn't get along well with his tribe and colleagues, so no one spoke up for him. However, he was deeply loved by Cao Cao, which showed that he was a lonely minister.
It was precisely for this reason that Sun Quan dared to ask Cao Cao for one billion. Now that Cao Cao is dead, Yu Jin has no real buyers, and it is difficult to sell even if the price is reduced. Why not be a favor and resolve the danger?
Thinking of these underlying reasons, Sun Quan raised his head and proposed to everyone: "Last year we formed an alliance with Cao Cao, and when Cao Pi came to the throne, we were at peace with Jiangdong. I think there must be a misunderstanding, and I have to go to Cao Ying to explain. Maybe we can Turning hostility into friendship..."
"What my lord said is very true..." After Zhang Zhao complimented, he looked around to see who was more suitable, and finally his eyes fell on the newcomer Zhang Wen's face.
Just as Zhang Zhao was about to speak, Zhuge Jin stepped forward and said, "My lord, I was unlucky last time, but this time I am willing to go deep into the tiger's den and get rid of my sins..."
"Tzuyu is really a good minister..." Sun Quan nodded happily, and then continued to give instructions: "Cao Pi ascended the throne as the King of Wei. Jiangdong has not sent anyone to congratulate you. I can take this opportunity to make up for it. I think Yu Jin gave it away in vain. Ten The congratulatory gift of 100 million is not a light one."
"Lord...isn't this gift too heavy?" Zhuge Jinxin said that the purchase price was 160 million, so you just gave it away for free?
"How can anything be accomplished without sincerity?" Sun Quan's eyes were firm.
"This..." Zhuge Jin still looked confused.
Zhang Zhao lamented that Zhuge Jin was honest, and he quickly explained: "Tzuyu will listen to the master's arrangements. If our two families really go to war, the loss will be more than 160 million..."
"I understand.
"Zhuge Jin nodded and saluted Sun Quan, then bowed and left.
"My lord, military advisor, will Mr. Ziyu be in any danger if he goes here? Will Cao Pi detain him and let us use the ban to exchange for him? In that case, the chance of doing favors will be gone." Xu Sheng muttered.
"If you don't kill the envoys when the two armies are fighting, Cao Pi is still the king of Wei after all. He will never do this. Not everyone is as sinister as Xuan ^..." Zhang Zhao kept shaking his head.
"Zibu is right." Sun Quan stood up and affirmed. He suddenly remembered that he bought Yu Jin. In fact, he didn't even have time to say anything, so he asked Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng: "Yu Jin was imprisoned in Ruxuwu for half a year, did he say anything? What’s not there?”
Xu Sheng answered quickly: "What can the prisoner say? He eats two meals a day, but his eyes are dull and he looks like a waste."
Sun Quan frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. Yu Jin still has some tricks. He won't be decadent even if he is captured alive by Guan Yu. Take me to see him."
"only."
Xu Sheng responded with clasped fists, turned around and led the way for everyone.
Ruxuwu originally had no cells, and Yu Jin's cell was temporarily renovated. One side is adjacent to the corridor inside the dock, and the other side faces Ruxu Water.
Yu Jin often sat by the railing, enjoying the river breeze and listening to the sound of the water, just like an ascetic Taoist, and he lived in Ruxuwu for half a year.
"Yu Jin, my lord is here." Xu Sheng slapped the cell door, but Yu Jin inside was unmoved.
"Open the cell door." Sun Quan ordered.
"Wei." Xu Sheng immediately went to the guard to get the key.
With Zhou Tai and several tiger soldiers accompanying him, Sun Quan was not worried about Yu Jin's tricks at all.
After a while, the key was brought back and the cell door opened. uuread a book
Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded Sun Quan and walked in. Yu Jin also turned around at this time.
"General Yu, Chai Sang said goodbye. I don't want to meet here. How have you gotten used to living here for the past six months?" Sun Quan asked softly.
Yu Jin cupped his fists and replied: "Thanks to the general, Yu Jin is quite comfortable watching the wind and listening to the waves every day."
"I have asked someone to contact King Wei. The general will be back soon." Sun Quan nodded slightly.
Yu Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The previous king has passed away, and the new master may not be willing to spend a billion..."
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "The general is a high-ranking scholar, so don't fall into the trap of the conventional. Cao Zihuan has ascended the throne as King of Wei. I haven't given you a congratulatory gift yet, so sending the general back is just a show of concern."
"Thank you..." Yu Jin cupped his fists and bowed.
"Jiangdong does not want to compete with the Wei State. I hope the general will give more good advice when he returns home so that our two families can live in peace. I will not spend a lot of money to redeem you in vain..." Sun Quan, holding a gun and a stick, expressed his request.
Yu Jin shook his head gently: "General Sun thinks highly of me so much. How can a defeated general dare to speak bravely? Your Majesty may not even see me again..."
"General Yu must have confidence in himself. For a hero like you in the army, it will be his loss if the King of Wei does not reuse him..." Sun Quan consoled him.
"A hero in the army? I'm not worthy..." Yu Jin laughed dumbly.
When Sun Quan saw Yu Jin abandoning himself, he thought, Guan Yu had such a big blow to him? He didn't look like General Zuo at all, and he was very different from the person in the legend.
Yu Jin calmed down, looked at Sun Quan and said, "Thank you, General Sun, for giving me my freedom. I have nothing to repay, so I will just give you a message."
