When Lu Xuan heard Gu Yong's words, he looked at the crowd and asked, "What do you think about the Sun family establishing a foothold in the Japanese country?"
Lu Su took the lead and said: "My lord, the Japanese country is a barbarian land. It is a land of barbarians. It is completely uncivilized. Even if Zhu Zhi takes people from the Sun family to the Japanese country, there is no threat at all, and it is not worth mentioning."
"For us, once we have to conquer, it is not worth it because we have to consume countless soldiers, horses, and food overseas."
"Give him ten or twenty years, and he will only be able to reach the strength of a state, or even not have this strength. However, in ten or twenty years, the Lord may have accomplished his goal and become the overlord of the world."
Lu Su said seriously: "Everything must be weighed against the pros and cons. I believe that the key at present is still at home."
Pang Tong nodded and said: "My lord, I agree with the suggestion of the Lu military advisor. There is no benefit in winning against the Sun family. Once you lose due to weather and geographical reasons, your own strength will be depleted. Instead of dealing with the Japanese country, it is better to use this part of your energy , used in other places."
Xu Shu said: "I second the proposal due to my humble position."
One after another kept talking, and in the end, Zhou Yu also expressed his opposition. The reason for everyone's opposition is simple: they think it's not worth it, and they don't think the Sun family can do anything in Japan.
Lu Xuan listened to everyone's words and could understand everyone's thoughts.
First, the Sun family is in ruins.
Second, the Japanese country was a barren land.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and had his own ideas, and said, "The remnants of the Sun family are here in the Japanese country. I have some different ideas."
Lu Su said seriously: "Does my lord still want to expend all his efforts to attack the Japanese country, annihilate the Sun family, and conquer an unworthy place?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and replied: "For the time being, I have no plans to attack the Japanese country. The reason is what you mentioned. The Japanese country is too poor and uncivilized. The people in these places are not fully clothed and drink blood like hair. There is no value in taking it down." .”
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "My lord is wise."
Lu Xuan continued: "My plan is to arrange for smuggling, sell weapons secretly, and support the Sun family to sweep away the Japanese country. Zhu Zhi has some abilities, and Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan, although only a half-year-old child, is mature and scheming. .With Zhu Zhi’s sophistication, coupled with Sun Quan’s calmness, and our support, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Japan.”
Lu Su was extremely shocked when he heard this. He looked puzzled and asked, "What are you doing, my lord?"
Pang Tong also scratched his head and said: "My lord, let him fend for himself. Now he wants to help the enemy. This is the most unwise arrangement."
Other people also objected.
Lu Xuan chuckled when he saw the objections of the people present.
The current Japanese country is a barren land.
The Jiaozhou area south of Yangzhou, which was a prosperous and prosperous place in later generations, is now full of miasma, making it difficult to live. Moreover, the Lingnan area of Jiaozhou is full of high mountains and ridges, especially Yuecheng Ridge, Qitian Ridge, and Dayu Ridge in the south of Lingnan, which block the road south to Jiaozhou.
It is very difficult to go south.
Even areas like Jiaozhou have not yet developed, let alone areas like Japan.
After all, Jiaozhou belonged to the Han Dynasty, and there were officials from the Han Dynasty serving in it, and it had already been enlightened. However, the Japanese country was too chaotic, with hundreds of small countries, large and small, in a mess. Farming, writing, etc. were completely out of sight, and nothing was developed.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Japan continued to send overseas students, and things gradually changed.
Today's Japanese country has no value at all and needs people to develop it.
Sun Quan is the right candidate.
Lu Xuan raised his hand and pressed it down. When everyone calmed down, he said in a deep voice: "You all know the situation of the Japanese country, so I won't say more. If you ask me to arrange people to manage it, it is simply impossible and I don't have the energy."
"So, let Sun Quan govern us."
"There are three benefits to supporting Sun Quan."
"First, we can earn money from the Japanese country by selling weapons. At the same time, when we sell weapons, we have already placed spies and personnel in place and begun to slowly infiltrate Sun Quan's subordinates."
"Second, Sun Quan has managed the Japanese area for us. From time to time, we can send troops to harvest and capture some slaves. This not only weakens Sun Quan's power, but also captures slaves."
"Third, when Sun Quan has some strength in the future and integrates the Japanese country, and after the Japanese country changes its customs and completely changes, we can destroy the Japanese country in one go. This is picking peaches, and it is also the credit of opening up the territory."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently.
He was very confident because the Japanese country was only a little bigger and did not have enough talents, soldiers, or territory. Even if Sun Quan had the power to seek peace with the city, he would not be able to conquer Wuzhishan.
This is the ceiling of Japan.
Lu Xuan's eyes became more expectant and he said: "In my eyes, Sun Quan is like an old leek. On weekdays, I give him some sunshine and rain to help him grow. Then, from time to time, we harvest one crop after another. Wait until He eventually grew up and became a big man, and was completely uprooted."
Lu Su's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
Feeling in my heart.
Sun Quan's fate has been determined.
There was no room for development in this part of Japan. Unless Sun Quan jumped out of the Japanese state, this was obviously impossible.
Lu Su was sincerely convinced and said: "My lord, I agree with your arrangement."
Zhou Yu said: "My lord is wise."
After hearing this, Pang Tong, Yan Xiang and others had no objections. Anyway, as long as they did not send troops, Lu Xuan could make other arrangements as he pleased.
Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan with even more awe. When it comes to scheming, the lord he is loyal to is really deep. When he thought of this, Zhang Zhao felt even more regretful. After a lot of trouble, he was thrown to the Five Classics Hall by Lu Xuan.
He and the powerful family in Yangzhou were destined to part ways.
It's time to part ways.
Lu Xuan looked at Gu Yong and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you know how to arrange the Japanese country?"
"Clear!"
Gu Yong nodded.
Gu Yong was also eager to give it a try and said: "Next, I will implement the details in all aspects, and then slowly arrange businessmen to contact Sun Quan of the Japanese country to find out Sun Quan's situation clearly. Furthermore, I will slowly infiltrate and bring in the people under Sun Quan's command. They all instigate rebellion."
Lu Xuan looked expectantly and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, it's good if you understand."
Lu Xuan finished handling the matter and had no time to talk about anything else. He waved his hand and said: "Everyone performs their duties, please step aside."
Everyone got up and left.
Zhang Zhao stood up from the ground, saluted Lu Xuan, and then staggered away. When he walked out of the Prefecture Mufu, Yan Xiang, Gu Yong, Pang Tong, Mi Fang and others had already left, but Zhou Yu was still standing at the gate.
Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Zhao looked at Zhou Yu, who was waiting for him, with a serious look in his eyes, and asked, "Is Zhou Shangshu waiting for me alone to laugh at me or to humiliate me?"
