Sun Yu actually came. As Lu Jun expected, he stood up and said to the others: "You continue talking, I'll go see him and come back."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall. At this time, Lu Ji reminded behind his back: "Brother, Sun Yu is probably here to make his attitude clear."

Lu Jun nodded with a smile, "I understand too, don't worry, I know how to deal with him."

Lu Jun walked quickly towards the living room ahead, but was thinking about how to deal with Sun Yu. Just now, his mentality had undergone a major change, from supporting Sun Shao to deciding to surrendering to Liu Jing. This huge change in position made Lu Jun also have to consider the fate and future of the Lu family. He could not offend Sun Yu in front of him, but he did not want to fall too deeply. He was considering how to maintain a balance.

Walking up the steps of the living room, Sun Yu sat in the hall and lowered his head to drink tea, looking worried. Lu Jun once inherited his father's ambition and became the prefect of Lujiang. He had a very official vision and was good at observing words and expressions. When he saw that Sun Yu was full of thoughts, he knew that he was begging him. He breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he could calmly grasp his position.

"Haha, let General Sun wait for a long time." Lu Jun walked into the guest hall and smiled heartily.

Sun Yu quickly stood up and saluted and said, "Because there is an urgent matter, I did not make an appointment in advance. Please forgive me."

Lu Jun nodded and waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."

The two of them took a seat with the guest and the host. Sun Yu sighed and said, "I believe the head of the Lu family knows the chaos in Jiangdong now."

"Jiangdong is indeed very chaotic now. I'm afraid this is something Sun Quan had unexpected. If he doesn't come back, Jianye City will probably not be able to save it."

"Is it that serious?" Sun Yu asked in surprise.

Lu Jun smiled faintly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time the public opinion suddenly came, as violent as a storm. In just a few days, the entire Jiangdong was swallowed up by anger. If no one instructed and manipulated behind the scenes, would General Sun believe it?"

Sun Yu nodded, "This must be what Sun Ben did, and it was added with fire. According to the information we obtained, the Jiangdong Army was not wiped out, and it lost about 60,000 people. There were more than 30,000 prisoners of war in the hands of the Han army. If there was no accident, Liu Jing would put them back to win the hearts of the Jiangdong people. In this way, he actually lost more than 20,000 people. He was exaggerated by Sun Ben and was wiped out as wiped out by the whole army. The heads were piled up, and the people were easily fooled, so that he could succeed easily in the end."

"What, is Sun Ben already independent?" Lu Jun suddenly understood what Sun Yu meant.

Sun Yu sighed helplessly, "Sun Ben has established himself, proclaimed himself the Marquis of Wu, and established a new Jiangdong regime. He recruited troops on a large scale. Now his troops have reached 40,000, and we only have more than 10,000 people. Once Sun Ben's army heads north, how should we deal with it?"

"Most half of Sun Ben's 40,000 troops are newly recruited. Without training, there are only 20,000 troops who can fight, and more than 10,000 people in General Sun's hands can reach the other side, but the problem is not here. Does Sun Ben have to destroy General Sun's army?"

"Unless we surrender to him, strengthen his strength, and cannot be independent, he will soon attack the Yuhang area. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." Sun Yu's tone became heavy.

Lu Jun immediately understood what Sun Yu was worried about. He was worried that he could not defeat Sun Ben, but he was unwilling to surrender, so he was in a dilemma. Lu Jun smiled slightly and said, "General Sun clearly said what the Lu family needs to do."

Sun Yu's lips moved and he whispered: "I got the latest news. Lu Xun was handed over to Liu Jing by the Jiaozhou army. Can you ask the Lu family to contact Lu Xun, ask the Han army to enter Jiangdong and support us from the west."

Lu Jun then suddenly realized that Sun Yu wanted to get the support of the Han army. Lu Li was the uncle of the Han princess, and Lu Xun was in the Han army again. Sun Yu was in a hurry at this time. If he wanted to get the support of Liu Jing, he could only ask the Lu family for help. This made him feel relieved. He slowly shook his head and said, "Lu Xun was only handed over to the Han army by the Jiaozhou army. He may not surrender to Liu Jing, but he was trapped in the Han army. I'm afraid the Lu family will not be able to help."

"I know this, but the Lu family and the Princess of Han have a marriage relationship. Just because of this, Liu Jing will treat Lu Xun well. Besides, Lu Li is back, don't you be too humble to the head of the family?"

Sun Yu believed that the Lu family and Liu Jing had secret contacts. Regardless of whether Lu Xun surrendered to Liu Jing or not, Liu Jing would definitely give the Lu family face.

Lu Jun was just talking, and he was willing to pull this thread. Lu Jun thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that time will not be enough."

When Sun Yu saw Lu Jun relieved, he was secretly happy. He knew that Sun Ben had received Cao Cao's support. If he could get Liu Jing's support, he would have a chance to win. He believed that Liu Jing was willing to help him. The key was to find a reliable intermediary, and the Lu family was undoubtedly the most suitable.

Sun Yu hurriedly said, "You can use a pigeon letter to contact me. Besides, Sun Ben needs to train soldiers and will not go north in large numbers for a while. Moreover, we can resist Sun Ben's army for a while. Time should be too late. The key is that this matter is of great importance. I hope the head of the family can keep it confidential and not let a third party know about it except you and me."

Lu Jun nodded, "I can try my best, but I can't guarantee it. But please don't worry, General Sun, I am a person who knows the right position, and this matter is absolutely confidential."

.........

Sun Quan's fleet had already passed Ruxukou, and hundreds of large ships were returning to Jianye in a mighty manner. At this time, Sun Quan was anxious and received information. Cao Cao stationed 80,000 troops in Ruxukou, and looked at Jiangdong. Jianye had only 20,000 troops. If Sun Ben rebelled in Kuaiji County and led Cao's army into Jiangdong, and cooperated inside and outside, the Sun family's foundation in Jiangdong would be over.

In the cabin, Sun Quan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. There was a piece of information on the table, which was a pigeon letter sent by the intelligence point on Wuhu on the south bank. Riots occurred in various parts of Jiangdong, the government office was destroyed, and the county magistrate was killed. Although there was no news about Sun Ben, Sun Quan knew that now was a good opportunity for Sun Ben to rebel, and there was also Sun Yu in Wujun, who would also take the opportunity to attack.

Now Jiangdong is facing an unprecedented crisis. What should he do? Sun Quan is in a mess and can't think of any solution.

At this time, Zhang Zhao's voice came from outside the cabin, "Wu Hou, the old minister is asking for a visit."

Sun Quan quickly opened the door, grabbed Zhang Zhao's wrist, pulled him in, and handed him the information, saying in a pleading tone: "Zibu, what should I do now?"

Zhang Zhao opened the information and looked at it. He was also secretly surprised. The situation was so chaotic. However, Zhang Zhao was experienced after all, and he was very calm and did not panic. He said to Sun Quan: "The most urgent task of Wu Hou is to calm down. Being anxious is useless. Instead, he will lose his composure and will not be able to seize the opportunity."

Zhang Zhao's words were like a basin of ice water pouring on his head. Sun Quan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "The military advisor said it well, I should calm down."

Zhang Zhao walked to the sand table and stared at the sand table. He pointed at Ruxu's mouth and said, "Cao Cao is stationed here. We just passed by an hour ago, but no accidents happened. I was a little confused. Why didn't Cao Cao collude with Sun Ben to attack Jianye before we came back, and then attacked inside and outside, and then he could destroy Jiangdong in one fell swoop. Why didn't he take action?"

Sun Quan also calmed down, and Zhang Zhao's words made him feel strange. Yes, he had the chance to destroy Jiangdong, why didn't Cao Cao catch him and pondered: "Does Cao Cao want to wait for our army to return to Jiangdong, and make a big move to wipe us out and occupy Jiangdong again?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "I thought this way at the beginning, but I don't think this is the reason. I think the real reason is that Cao Cao is afraid of Liu Jing, so he didn't take the initiative."

"Liu Jing?" Sun Quan frowned, as if that was the case, but he also felt that something was a bit unreliable.

Zhang Zhao pointed to the Yangtze River with a wooden pole and said slowly: "We are on the river now and have no clue about the information about Jingzhou, but Cao Cao is on the land, so he should obtain the information about Jingzhou in time. I have a bold idea. Perhaps Liu Jing has defeated the Jiaozhou army. Now the main warship of the Han army is also on its way to Jiangdong, so Cao Cao is afraid of the weapons and dare not act rashly at Jiangdong. After all, when the Han army is involved, the situation becomes complicated. Cao's army is likely to be able to swallow Jiangdong, but can't swallow it. In the end, he made a wedding dress for Liu Jing for vain. Cao Cao must be afraid of this, so he stopped moving."

Sun Quan nodded, and Zhang Zhao's last sentence was fundamentally said. It was not that Cao Cao didn't want to annex Jiangdong, but that he didn't want to make a wedding dress for Liu Jing for nothing. Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in Sun Quan's heart and hurriedly said: "If this is the case, we may still have hope."

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly and said, "This is what I want to persuade Wu Hou. If neither Cao Cao nor Liu Jing can swallow Jiangdong, then they would rather Jiangdong maintain a balance. This balance will never dominate one. I think it should be a state of division. As for the confrontation between the two families or the division of Wu, I can't say, but at least we still have hope of reunifying Jiangdong."

Sun Quan breathed a little relieved, but his heart became heavier again. Even if Jiangdong was split, he could not accept it. What was his face? Sun Quan sighed and said, "I am really incompetent. I have not been able to inherit the foundation of my father and brother. This led to the situation today. My father's spirit in heaven will not spare me."

Zhang Zhao quickly persuaded Sun Quan, "Marquis Wu, don't blame himself. This is because of Liu Jing, Jiangdong lost the opportunity to expand westward. Several failures in the westward expansion eventually led to today's passiveness. Not only Wu Hou, but Cao Cao was the same. Liu Jing's strong advance northward, Cao's army gradually declined. Where did the strong Cao army that defeated Yuan Benchu ​​go?"

Both of them were in a heavy mood, and no one wanted to speak. At this moment, someone outside the cabin shouted: "Wuhou, a small boat has arrived, as if it was a ship of Cao's army, with the Cao's army's battle flag on it."

Sun Quan was stunned. What was going on? Zhang Zhao said coldly: "Cao Cao is going to dig a trap for Marquis Wu."

....

Soon, a small boat of five hundred stones approached Sun Quan and took a boat. A scholar on the boat bowed and said, "Liu Ye is the chief clerk of Prime Minister Cao's account. At the order of Prime Minister Cao, he came to meet the Marquis of Wu and had important matters to discuss."

The soldiers had already gone to report to Sun Quan. After a moment, the soldiers returned and threw down a soft ladder, "Mr. Wu asked Mr. Liu to get on the boat."
