Chapter 630 Deng Ai Meets Zhang Zhao
Just as Jiangdong was preparing to attack Jingzhou, in the elegant room of a hotel near Chai Sang, Zhang Zhao was holding up a glass and drinking muffled wine.
At this moment, a subordinate came in and whispered in Zhang Zhao's ear, "Master, the guest has arrived."
After getting the report from the subordinate, Zhang Zhao waved his hand. At this time, he saw a young man turn around and walk into the elegant room. This person is not someone else but Deng Ai.
"I'm Deng Ai. I've met Lord Zhang Zhao. I've heard of Mr. Zhang's name for a long time. Now we can meet each other. It really lives up to its reputation." Zhang Zhao was originally a famous scholar in Jiangdong, so Deng Ai came to see Zhang Zhao, and immediately saluted him as soon as they met.
"Deng Ai? Seeing that you are young, Xun Yu actually sent you here. It is enough to see that you have an extraordinary position in Xun Yu's heart. When I was as young as you, I didn't have such achievements as you. It's really terrible. Come and do it." Seeing Deng Ai, Zhang Zhao couldn't help sighing that he also had a good impression on Deng Ai.
"Mr. He is just a rude person. He is appreciated by Mr. Xun Yu. He can only do his best." Seeing Zhang Zhao say this, Deng Ai said shyly.
"Sun Quan is going to launch an attack on Jingzhou. I think you already know it. I have a detailed attack plan for Sun Quan. You can take it back and give it to Xun Yu. Now that I have resigned from Jiangdong's official position, and a lot of information has not been able to find out. Please forgive Mr. Xun Yu for this, but the regent is strong and strong. Even if there is no news from me here, it is impossible to arrange for Sun Quan to take down Jingzhou. After talking with Deng Ai, Zhang Zhao took out a roll of documents from his arms, put them on the table, and said to Deng Ai in front of him.
"This? As far as I know, Zhou Yu has always been responsible for Jiangdong's military operations. Mr. just said that this is Sun Quan's attack plan. Is it possible that Sun Quan wants to personally conquer Jingzhou this time? Deng Ai took the document handed over by Zhang Zhao into his arms and did not open it, but he heard something else from Zhang Zhao's words and asked.
"Ha ha, I didn't expect you to come to Jiangdong for a long time, but you already know everything about Jiangdong. To be honest, Sun Quan did not mean to personally conquer Jingzhou this time. Sun Quan knew that his military ability was far less than Zhou Yu. How could he replace Zhou Yu? Therefore, the commander-in-chief of this expedition is still Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu's external defense is extremely strict. Even the people around Zhou Yu can't get a detailed military deployment, not to mention an old minister like me who has been in the field, so my document is just some news from Sun Quan, and the real attack. There is also some difference in the attack plan. Seeing that Deng Ai asked the key place, Zhang Zhao said bluntly. Anyway, Xun Yu also wanted to read the documents he sent out. For the content, Zhang Zhao did not mind telling Deng Ai.
However, Deng Ai heard this in his ear, but a mouthful of wine almost sprayed out. Since Zhou Yu is the main player in this battle, it is only useful to get Zhou Yu's battle plan. What's the use of taking Sun Quan's battle plan?
"It's a little perfunctory for you to do this, sir." After thinking about this clearly, Deng Ai took out the documents that had been put in his arms again and looked at them carefully. At this time, Deng Ai couldn't sit still. What kind of combat plan is this? It's just some of Sun Quan's requirements for attacking Jingzhou and the requirements for a group of generals, such. Xi, Deng Ai doesn't need Zhang Zhao, a former Jiangdong boss, to do it. Even Deng Ai, who has just arrived in Jiangdong, can get it quickly as long as he spends more time and energy.
"Oh, I don't want to tell you a lie. To tell you the truth, I, Zhang Zhao, have been in Jiangdong for many years. Although the situation in Jiangdong is unfavorable now, I, Zhang Zhao, advocate surrender. However, Jiangdong must be my hometown, and the Sun family must be my lord. I can't be sorry for the Sun family, I can't be sorry for Jiangdong. Of course, the calligraphy I wrote in Xiangyang is also counted, but today's Zhang Zhao is just a grassy in Jiangdong, and that's all he can provide. Seeing Deng Ai say so, Zhang Zhao said with a sigh. Obviously, Zhang Zhao has made a decision, and even Deng Ai can't play a role.
"Hahaha, Mr. is really a strong man." Seeing that Zhang Zhao was like this, Deng Ai was not angry but laughed and continued, "First of all, for the well-being of the people in Jiangdong, he strongly surrendered and was not afraid of offending Sun Quan. Now, at such a critical time, I put aside my life and death honor and disgrace, and want to be worthy of Jiangdong without violating my conscience. Sir, this is indeed a model for us as a scholar. It's just that my husband is so well-intentioned, who in the world will think about him? When Sun Quan sent Sun Shangxiang to assassinate the regent, did he ever think about his safety? When Mr. Zhou Yu now resigns from all official positions in Jiangdong and clears obstacles for the war faction, has Zhou Yu ever taken care of Mr.'s benefits? Because of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's selfishness, Jiangdong is full of war and the people are suffering. Will they regret not listening to his advice? I really feel sorry for my husband, but I don't know if he has felt sorry for himself and thought about it for himself?
"Well" After listening to Deng Ai's words, Zhang Zhao's already dead heart suddenly stirred a little. He quietly stared at Deng Ai in front of him and said, "I didn't expect you to see the bottom of this at such a young age. What should I do in your opinion?"
"Mr. Sun's old road for half of his life. First, he assisted Sun Ce, and then Sun Quan. He dared to ask him, if he didn't contribute, would Jiangdong have today's prosperity?" However, Deng Ai said a digression.
"If you have something to say, you don't have to worry about it. I have heard a lot of this kind of flattery. Zhang Zhao waved his hand and asked Deng Ai to say the key point.
"Now that you have gone out of the field, has Sun Quan ever retained you? Since Mr. Sun Quan abandons Mr. Sun is like me, why do you mislead yourself for Sun Quan? Seeing Zhang Zhao's heartbeat, Deng Ai said.
"In this case, I'm afraid there is nothing new. I have a letter to stay with Mr. Xun Yu, and there is no need to talk about surrender." Seeing that Deng Ai was going to talk about surrender again, Zhang Zhao interrupted.
"Sir, you are wrong. I'm not talking about surrender. I'm just asking you to make the decision for the people of Jiangdong. Make the decision for the people who have suffered thousands of hardships. Speaking of this, Deng Ai got up and bowed and said, "When I first came to Jiangdong, the first feeling was that the people of Jiangdong were simple. I think that the people of Jiangdong have experienced many ups and downs in order to have today's day. I think that the reason why Mr. Sun Ce was devoted himself to Sun Ce was to understand and save the people of Jiangdong. Let them live a stable life? Now that Sun Quan is about to bring the people of Jiangdong into the abyss of war, don't you want to do anything for the people of Jiangdong? Do you want to see Jiangdong become a hell on earth again? Are the people struggling in the quagmire of war? On that day, Mr. was able to stand up and propose to surrender. Can't he stand up and make the decision for the people of Jiangdong now? May I ask whether the people in Jiangdong or the Sun family really care about in your heart? Besides, the regent Hongfu is the same as the sky, and the world returns to his heart. Now as long as Jiangdong is pacified, the world can be together. The big man will usher in Zhongxing. Isn't this your hope, sir? Sun Quan sent an army to Jingzhou and was defeated. If he really captured Jingzhou, is this what the gentleman is willing to see? Is this the blessing of the people in the world? Mr. Huanqing thinks twice. As the old saying goes: 'The people are the most important, the society is the second, and the king is the light.' It's time for you to make a decision, sir. I only heard Deng Ai's words interlocked and pressed step by step, but Zhang Zhao was moved.
"This? I'm afraid I can't do it." Half a sound, Zhang Zhao said with some embarrassment.
"As long as you have the heart, you will definitely make achievements for the world." Seeing that Zhang Zhao was still a little embarrassed, Deng Ai encouraged again.
"To the way, there is something I need to ask, how is the regent's injury now?" After a while, Zhang Zhao asked.
"Ha ha ha, what do you think, sir?" Deng Ai asked rhetorical and did not answer.
"What can I do for the Regent?" Half a sound, Zhang Zhao finally made up his mind and asked Deng Ai.
"This time, Zhou Yu sent troops to Jingzhou, and he will definitely do his best. He wants to come to Jiangdong at that time. At that time, as long as he can shake his arms and control Jiangdong, such a big thing can be achieved." Seeing that Zhang Zhao had made up his mind, Deng Ai said.
A few days later, the warships on the shore of Chaisang were lined up, and the military flag fluttered. Sun Quan stood on the high platform, looked up at a warship on the river, untied the sword at his waist, and handed it to Zhou Yu beside him and said, "I have entrusted my life and the future of Jiangdong to the general. I wish the general success in the battle."
Seeing Sun Quan like this, Zhou Yu quickly fell to the ground and stretched out his hands to take Sun Quan's sword in his hand. Then he looked at Sun Quan and said, "Weichen also pressed everything on this battle. If he can't win, he would rather sprinkle blood on the Yangtze River."
"I'll wait for your good news." After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan nodded and turned away.
At this time, Zhou Yu raised Sun Quan's sword and said loudly to the soldiers around him, "Sprinkle blood on the Yangtze River and kill Lv Bu."
"Sprinkle blood on the Yangtze River and kill Lv Bu." With Zhou Yu's voice, the soldiers spread word of mouth, and the soldiers in Jiangdong were heroic.
"Let's go." Seeing the soldiers' morale high, Zhou Yu shouted and waved the flag. Countless soldiers rushed up to the warship and moved towards the other side of the Yangtze River.
"With so many Jiangdong athletes, I don't know how many people can return to Jiangdong after this battle." Not far away, on a hill, Zhang Zhao stood on the top of the mountain, looking at what happened on the shore of Chaisang from afar, and couldn't help sighing.
"To make peace in the world, some necessary sacrifices are inevitable. However, you don't have to be too sad. The regent loves the people like a son, and he will definitely not kill. Seeing that Zhang Zhao was a little sad, Deng Ai beside him persuaded him.
"The general means that the regent was not injured?" Hearing Deng Ai talk about Lv Bu again, Zhang Zhao asked with some care. Although Zhang Zhao has been asking about Lv Bu's situation these days, every time Deng Ai just laughs and does not answer, which makes Zhang Zhao have a lot of guesses, but the guess is always guessing, and Zhang Zhao still wants to know the actual situation. However, in the face of Zhang Zhao's problem, Deng Ai still laughed.
