Chapter 731

When Zhang Zhao returned to his residence, a servant came to report, "my Lord, Lu Ji is waiting in the hall."

"I see!"

Zhang Zhao nodded and went straight to the hall.

Entering the hall, Zhang Zhao said, "Gongji, follow me to the study."

In the kingdom of Wu, both Zhang Jia and Lu Jia are big families, but Lu Ji's seniority is one generation lower than Zhang Zhao's.

In the study, the guest and host sit down.

Lu Ji looked forward and asked urgently, "Mr. Zhang, what's the result?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "it's done."

"Good!"

There is a touch of excitement in Lu Ji's eyes.

Zhang Zhao stares at Lu Ji, a touch of fine light passes in his eyes, and says: "Gongji, your Lu family is partial to Liu Xiu. Aren't you afraid that I will report to the king?"

Words, with a trace of banter.

Lu Ji said, "isn't Zhang Gong not denounced?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "I'm not sure. I changed my mind."

Lu Ji looked very calm and said, "Duke Zhang has decided that since he has made a decision, he will not change it without permission."

Zhang Zhao shook his head and chuckled.

Lu Ji said, "is Mr. Zhang in the examination?"

Zhang Zhao said: "it is well known that Lu Xun's talent is unparalleled. I would like to hear Lu Gongji's theory."

"I have three reasons," Lu said

"First, the general situation of Wu state has gone."

"As the pillar of the state of Wu, and also an old minister of the state of Wu, Duke Zhang's understanding of the state of Wu is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Now the state of Wu is in a corner. If the states of Chu and Wei don't attack and overthrow, how can the state of Wu resist the attack? "

"In terms of talents, the state of Wu has lost Lu Su, Tai Shici, Lu Meng and others. Now it only relies on Zhang Gong and Du Du to support it. On the contrary, the state of Chu has countless talents."

"On the inside information, although the state of Wu has solved the problem of Shanyue, after all, the area is narrow, and Liu Xiu's role in Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Liangzhou and other places has long been rich in inside information."

"The advantage of the state of Wu lies in the water army. The state of Wei does not, but the state of Chu does."

Lu Ji said: "under such circumstances, can the state of Wu still confront the state of Chu? That's impossible. "

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

Looking at Lu Ji, he was surprised.

Lu Xun has occupied all the elegant demeanor of the Lu family. The world pays attention to Lu Xun, but ignores Lu Ji.

Lujiayimen, all are talents!

In Zhang Zhao's heart, he couldn't help feeling.

Zhang Zhao said, "what's the second reason?"

Lu Ji smile, not impatient way: "second, Zhang Gong is the owner of Zhang."

"Zhang Jia of Wu state is a big family."

"Duke Zhang is a minister of Wu, but he is also the head of Zhang's family."

"Zhang Gong is loyal to the king and is willing to die for him. However, Zhang Gong had to consider Zhang Jia. Now that the general situation of the state of Wu is gone, Duke Zhang should consider himself as Zhang Jia. "

"Without this identity, Zhang Gong might be loyal to the death."

"But if Zhang Gong is bound, he can only choose the direction that is good for Zhang."

Lu Ji's eyes were bright and calm.

After he got the letter from Lu Xun, he began to contact Zhang Zhao.

As a person who has been in Wu for many years, Lu Ji naturally knows Zhang Zhao and knows him better. In addition, Lu Xun wrote to Zhang Zhao for help, and Lu Ji took advantage of the situation.

With Zhang Zhao's help, it is easier for the Lu family to take revenge and make greater contributions.

Zhang Zhao was silent at the moment.

It is true that Zhang Zhao is a minister of Sun Quan.

However, Zhang Zhao is also the head of the family and the head of the family. He has to consider for the family.

People who come from a noble family are generally concerned about their country and the world.

First home, then country.

Zhang Zhao is no exception.

In history, when Cao Cao led his army to the South and launched the battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to submit to Cao Cao. Zhang Zhao's persuasion, on the one hand, did not want Sun Quan and Cao Cao to fight each other, but on the other hand, it was for Zhang's sake.

Today's situation is worse in the state of Wu.

Facing the attack of Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, Zhang Zhao didn't think Sun Quan could win.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Zhao heard Lu Ji's words and finally chose to help him.

What about Lu Zhaoji? I'm all ears. "

Lu Ji shook his sleeves and said with a smile, "even if Zhang Gong goes to report, it will not help."

"The Lu family was still the Lu family of Wu state, and they did not collude with Liu Xiu or surrender to Liu Xiu. All we have to do is make friends with Liu Xiu and express a meaning to him. "

"Mr. Zhang can't slander the Lu family with only one mouth."

"In particular, when the state of Wu was in turmoil, Boyan was in charge of the army outside. Once the Lu family was moved, I'm afraid the state of Wu would be more chaotic.""Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Lu Ji looked calm and confident.

In fact, when he went to persuade Zhang Zhao, he proposed to get close to Liu Xiu and make friends with Liu Xiu, but did not mention to submit to Liu Xiu.

At this time, the state of Wu was already in a precarious state.

Anyone can have two hearts.

Everyone may have their own considerations.

Even if the Lu family was close to Liu Xiu, there was no evidence that the Lu family had betrayed the state of Wu. Sun Quan had nothing to do with the Lu family.

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard with a smile and said, "the world really underestimates you, Lu Gongji."

Lu Ji said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang has praised me falsely."

Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "I hope I'm right."

Lu Ji said, "Duke Zhang will not regret what he did today."

"Soon, Xun you and Zhang Liao will be escorted back," Zhang said. At that time, I will advise you to escort Zhang Liao and Xun you to Jiangxia county. Then you can do it again. "

Lu Ji arched his hand and said, "thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Goodbye!"

Immediately, Lu Ji stood up and left.

Lu Zhao left with a sigh. Today, he is also a capitulator and a person who has contact with Liu Xiu.

When Lu Ji returned to his residence, he did nothing else but wait quietly.

In early July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

As for the state of Wei, the news has spread to Yecheng and Cao Cao's desk.

Cao Cao was so angry that he broke several vases when he learned that Zhang Liao and Xun you had lost nearly 50000 talents. Fortunately, Cao Cao's headache has been cured, and the disease has not been affected.

Cao Cao gave an order and called all his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Palace, in the main hall.

Cao Cao sits at the top, while Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others gather here.

Everyone's face was very dignified.

Xun you is Cao Cao's confidant.

Zhang Liao is a great general of Cao Cao.

The two men became the captives of the state of Wu, which had a great influence.

Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Duke, Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured. The army sent by the king to attack the state of Wu was destroyed. Next, how to deal with it? "

When they heard the words, they were all lost in thought.

Cao Cao's eyes were sharp and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu presided over the internal affairs, but he was also a decisive counselor.

Xun Yu said: "I will report to you that Xun you and Zhang Liao have been captured. If the state of Wei strikes at this point, it will lose its prestige and power. Therefore, it is necessary to attack Wu again. But before that, it's time to put pressure on Liu Xiu. "

"How to exert pressure?" Cao Cao asked
