Lan Tian asked Hu Ke to mess up Jiangdong. Now the best entry point is the hatred between the Han and Lu families.
Hu Ke asked his confidant to win Chang Gao's letter with the Tiger Shooting Order, and represent Sun Quan's will to get rid of the Lu family with the help of the Han family. Chang Gao thought that not only could he relieve Han Zong's worries, but he could also be appreciated by Sun Quan for his meritorious service, so he agreed without hesitation without telling Han Zong. .
The misleading letter that Han Zong dragged the Sima brothers into and sent to Master Sima was all due to Hu Ke's plan.
Now that Chang Gao has disappeared forever, the head of the Lu family will not let it go. The biggest suspect, Han Zong, swore and shifted the suspicion to Master Sima. The Sima family has been reduced to the last two little ones. Sun Quan would not dare to throw the rat weapon at him. After surrendering, it is now difficult for Sun Quan to end his attack.
As long as Jiangdong continues to fight among himself, the tasks assigned to Hu Ke by Lantian can be easily completed. At this moment, he felt Lantian's happiness, and it was so satisfying to control everything behind the scenes.
When only the senile Zhang Zhao was left in the hall, Sun Quan lamented how bad his fate was. Cao Cao and Liu Bei both had advisers, and everyone in Jiangdong had to work hard to find a solution.
"Zibu, what should I do?" Sun Quan frowned.
Zhang Zhao stroked his gray beard and shook his head: "It's really difficult to deal with now. Chang Gao has no trace at all, and the assassination case can't be pushed forward. The lord obviously has the initiative, why did it end up like this?"
Sun Quan knocked on the case, "No matter who Chang Gao was instigated by, or whether he was insane, he could not be separated from Han Yuanhe, but I didn't expect that he found General Han's personal entourage. Not only can I not punish Han Yuan now Together, Gu Li might be implicated, Han Zong is really worrying."
"No matter how they argue in the end, the Han and Lu families must deal with one of them, otherwise this matter will not end at all, but both families are the heroes of Jiangdong," Zhang Zhao sighed in a low voice.
When the two were in trouble, Quan Cong returned to the palace dejectedly. When he arrived at Jingshan, there was no sign of Chang Gao. There were only three of Chang Gao's accomplices who died in the battle. He searched for a long time and found no other useful clues.
Quan Cong didn't know that the people sent by Hu Ke were the most elite scouts from the trapped army. Their basic requirements were to ambush, hide, and eliminate traces. After Chang Gao committed the crime with another accomplice, he escaped as planned and agreed to A good place to die, and that place is hundreds of miles away from Jingshan Mountain.
"Zihuang came just in time. Gu Li investigated the cause of General Han's death based on the testimony of several witnesses. When the prisoners of war were redeemed, only two people were left to join the Lu family. Now Lu Zhonghan and Lu Ba have been assassinated. You represent the army general. Go visit and find the two witnesses." Sun Quan ordered.
"Wei." Quan Cong was very curious after hearing this, thinking that if he brought out the old things, would it be possible to overturn the case? He didn't ask in the end, after all, Sun Quan's face was full of displeasure.
After Quan Cong left, Zhang Zhao reminded him in a low voice: "Lord, think of the worst in everything. Just imagine what happens if Gu Li's witness tells lies? Han Yuanhe's character will definitely not give up, and Ziming has established a reputation in Jiangdong. The reputation has collapsed. It is inevitable to deal with Gu Li's dereliction of duty, as well as Fu Shiren's orphans and family members."
Sun Quan frowned: "So General Han's death at the hands of the enemy is the most acceptable result for all parties in Jiangdong. As for Han Zong's demands, I am very clear. At the worst, I have to pay some price to settle the matter."
"If the lord gives a generous gift to the Han family, what will the Lu family think and do? After all, Ziming has served as the governor, and the Lu family has more supporters than Han Zong." Zhang Zhao reminded again.
"If it doesn't work, just blame Sima Shi? Anyway, I have evidence here." Sun Quan raised the letter.
Zhang Zhao was so shocked that he waved his hands, "My lord, you must not do this. That letter should have been sent by the Wei State. If we accuse Sima Master, wouldn't it mean that the Lu family paid for the murder and destroyed the entire Sima family? At that time, Cao Pi If you use this as an excuse to raise troops to attack, you can't push the entire Lu family out, right? This will chill the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers."
"This won't work, that won't work either, what can I do?" Sun Quan was a little angry.
"Let's deal with it one by one first. The Lu family's affairs can only be dealt with slowly.
As long as the case is not closed, it can be suppressed for the time being." Zhang Zhao suggested using the procrastination technique.
The next day, Quan Cong came back to Sun Quan. One of the redeemed witnesses had died of illness, and the other was interrogated by Hu Shi. When he heard that Han Zong had found Han Dang's soldiers to testify, he suddenly became unstable and changed his tune, saying that he had I heard it from my colleagues, but I didn't see Han Dang being killed by Lan Ji formation with my own eyes.
Lu Meng died after the war in Jingzhou. Han Zong was obsessed with Han Dang's affairs. In addition, Lu Ba was assassinated recently, which doubled the pressure on the only witness. His family was also worried about his personal safety, which influenced the witness to change his tone of voice.
Sun Quan had a splitting headache after hearing the result, and secretly summoned Han Zong to discuss the Han Dang incident.
Sun Quan said that the witnesses on both sides held different opinions and could not determine the true cause of Han Dang's death, so he allocated three thousand steps as compensation.
Han Zong stirred up troubles in Jiangdong just to get back thousands of troops, because once the generals were unarmed, the whole family would soon be lonely.
"My lord, can you change the defense area for the general? The governor's side is basically a water battle, and the general is worried that he is unable to handle it." Han Zong asked for the troops and then made a request to Sun Quan.
"Where do you want Yuan He to go? Don't forget that Lu Zhonghan's case is not over yet." Sun Quan frowned.
"The death of Lu Ba really has nothing to do with the general. My lord can call Chang Gao to confront me. My father once fought alongside General Zhou. Can the general go to the Ruxu Defense Area to garrison?" Han Zong explained his whereabouts.
"Want to go to Youping and Zhou Tai? Okay then, uu Reading will leave early tomorrow morning and you can't stay in Jianye." Sun Quan waved his hand impatiently.
"Thank you, Lord." Han Zong smiled happily as his wish came true.
Sun Quan looked at Han Zong's back and narrowed his eyes, intending to write a letter to Zhou Taihaosheng to ask him to strictly control Han Zong.
After solving the troubles of the Han family, what is left is the even more troublesome assassination of the Lu family.
Thinking of Zhang Zhao, he couldn't help himself, and an endless feeling of loneliness enveloped Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was sitting alone in the palace drinking wine. After several glasses of wine, he felt even more uncomfortable. Suddenly he saw the rhinoceros horn cup filled with wine in his hand. He remembered that Hu Ke also had some plans, and hurriedly sent his trusted Hu Shi to Yu's Trading Company to invite people.
Hu Ke followed the Hu Shi into the palace secretly to have an audience. Not long after Sun Quan met, he began to express his bitterness and asked Hu Ke for advice on how to solve the problem.
Hu Ke pondered for a moment, shook his head and replied: "The Lu family is in a dilemma, and it would be difficult to solve it perfectly."
"Huh? Listening to Zecheng's tone, do you have an imperfect method?" Sun Quan asked.
"Well, there's something wrong with this approach. I think it's better not to say anything." Hu Ke lowered his head.
Sun Quan slammed the table and shouted loudly under the influence of alcohol: "Do you care whether he is okay or not? You have to tell me for details. Otherwise, what use do I have to support you?"
"Well, General Lu Ba is dead. Even if the assassin is found, he cannot be resurrected. This is a loss-making business. Why don't my lord maximize the value of his death?" Hu Ke answered with cupped fists.
"Maximizing the value of death?" Sun Quan shook his head and thought, "Did I drink too much?" Why can't you understand some of them?
Hu Ke whispered: "The State of Wei is still urging the investigation of the real culprit of Sima's murder case. Why don't you push General Lu Ba out? It's very logical for you to get the physical evidence. Lu Ba paid the murderer and did not pay the full reward, so that's why." Will be killed by assassins in Jingshan Mountain"
