Jiangdong, Wujun.

During this Sun Mansion, the birthday party of Wu Guotai is being held.

From the outside, it was so peaceful that all the major families sent gifts, and the Sun Mansion's disciples were busy registering them... It was like the assassination of the little bully Sun Ce not long ago and the disastrous defeat of Sun Quan Jiangling City had become a thing of the past.

In addition... Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and other old ministers led their troops to station near Wujun, and it seemed... in Jiangdong, the dominant position of the Sun family was still unshakable!

What's more, it seems to send a signal that Cao's army went south... Jiangdong did not take it as a matter of something, as stable as Mount Tai!

In this way, the rumors that are rising in Jiangdong can also calm down!

But…the backyard is completely different from the cheerful atmosphere of the front yard!

here…

In the backyard of the Sun Mansion, in a spacious house, the patriarchs of the seven major families are arranged on both sides.

But Wu Guotai changed his smile before others and shed tears.

"The old lady's birthday today? Why is this?"

Zhang Zhao asked quickly...

Although Zhang Zhao is not a member of the seven major families in Jiangdong!

But... he is the spokesperson of the seven major families. In addition, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Wen's ancestors are also of the same clan, so... he is mostly the manager of the Zhang family!

It seems that since the Lu family was removed from the four major families of Wujun, Jiangdong has rarely been called "Four Majors of Wujun" and "Four Majors of Kuaiji", but has been renamed the Seven Majors of Jiangdong.

At this moment, Wu Guotai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief...

The expression shows pain.

"Today, it is actually not Lao Shi's birthday. Lao Shi just wants to take this opportunity to ask all the patriarchs to come and talk..."

this…

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present could hear the smell here...

What Wu Guotai wants to say.

There are only two points, one is... the problem of the heir of the Sun family, this is not busy!

Another one is imminent... Cao Cao went south!

You should know that during this time, the Cao army went south, and Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling who had just defeated Sun Quan, took charge of the command. Cao Cao's clan brothers Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan served as generals from two groups, respectively, and went down the river... It was so imposing that it was heard that there were more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. , More than a hundred warships!

Ironically, these warships were all seized in Lujiang and Guangling City.

That's it...

Not counting the 30,000-strong army led by Liu Xun in Lujiang, it can be said that... At this time, the two routes advance together, and the pressure on Jiangdong is huge, and it is huge!

And the Sun family in Jiangdong passed by Lujiang and Guangling suffered two defeats...

It would be good if the remaining troops could be stationed in the six counties and seventy-two counties in Jiangdong.

How could he fight the enemy head-on? Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other veterans were eager to try. It’s a pity... a clever woman can’t cook without rice, and there are not enough soldiers!

But... I can't let Cao Cao really hit the door, right?

Therefore...

Wu Guotai used this birthday to invite the clans to help him.

certainly…

At this time, facing the pressure from Cao's army, the various tribes in Jiangdong were also hesitating. Should they surrender or resist? Of course... this multiple-choice question is not difficult to do.

Most families hesitate a little, and what they think about changes from fighting or not to surrender!

"What the old lady wants to say about Cao's army going south, right?" Zhang Zhao pointed out simply.

"That's right." Wu Guotai nodded, and she looked at Zhang Zhao very much. "What does Mr. Zhang think?"

this…

Zhang Zhao looked up at Wu Guotai, then looked at the patriarchs of various major families, and finally... a sighed "ah" sound.

"Cao Cao is a jackal, and he also has a hidden and hidden layout. He controls the world from a distance, and often uses the emperor to command the princes to oppress others in the name of the emperor. Although his strength may not be as good as Yuan Shao, Daoyi is superior! If we do,

Resisting him, that... would be like fighting against the court, which would put the old general in a state of disloyalty and unfaithful manner, and would make the situation passively beaten. This is a bad reputation and unhappiness!"

"Besides, our army can resist Cao Cao only the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, but now... Lujiang and Jiangling are defeated, and most of our Jiangdong ships have been taken over by Cao Cao. Today's navy? Are we his opponents? Bo Fu and I will be the same.

The morale of the entire three armies was depressed and the morale of the army was dispersed. Facing Yin Lin's attacking skills and facing Cao's army, it was not that he would not fight? It was that he could not fight! He could not win the battle! The previous two battles were already very telling.

question…"

"It's better to send envoys to welcome Cao Cao and surrender to the court. This is also a strategy of survival and preservation!"

Zhang Zhao said a lot, but in fact... the fundamental meaning is nothing more than... the little overlord Sun Bofu, the blue-eyed son Sun Quan led the elites in Jiangdong, and they are not Cao Cao's opponents?

Wu Guotai? You point at... these parts in the hands of our seven major families? Are you touching the eggs and stones?

It’s better to bow your head as soon as possible, live a life of silence, and surrender.

Strange to say...

If Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to the south, and a family led by Zhang Zhao would tend to surrender. However, this time, only a army of 50,000 to the south was still scared out of their courage.

"this…"

Wu Guo too wanted to speak but stopped...

How could she not understand?

After all, what major families care about is the interests of the family, and consider it from the perspective of the family.

The surname is Sun and the surname Cao!

Whoever is the lord of Jiangdong can accept it, as long as it does not touch their fundamental interests.

Can…

If they want to get soldiers and family backgrounds to fight against Cao Cao, then... it's not a question of two words!

"Do you mean that's the same?" Wu Guotai said.

"Yes!" The patriarchs of the big family agreed one after another. "Zibu's words are in line with God's will."

Wu Guotai pondered and said nothing...

Zhang Zhao bowed and continued, "Now my Jiangdong lord is still unconscious, so the country's grandfather needs to be suspicious. If you join Cao Cao, the people of Eastern Wu will be safe, and the six counties in Jiangdong can be protected!"

Now... Wu Guotai bowed his head and said nothing.

Even for a moment, he felt a sense of oppression and coercion.

Behind him, Sun Quan and Sun Yi's expression were also cold. Sun Yi's temper was even more irritable. He was about to stand up and argue with Zhang Zhao, but was stopped by Sun Quan.

The defeat of Guangling was caused by their brothers' carelessness. To argue at this time... it was tantamount to insulting himself.

Suddenly, the whole atmosphere became silent and strange.

A moment passed...

"Ah..." Zhang Zhao shook his head, "Old lady... because the situation is forced, we are...ah..."

After sighing repeatedly, the entire pavilion started to discuss, and it was nothing more than the patriarchs of various major families discussing with each other, how to reduce their property? How can we protect our own industry.

And these voices made Wu Guotai, Sun Quan and Sun Yi very annoyed.

I wish I could end this unhappy "birthday" immediately!

But at this moment...

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

A refreshing laughter came from outside the door. After the "step" footsteps, a young man pushed open the door. He straightened his back and walked towards the cabinet while laughing.

Everyone looked at the laughter...

But it’s not that… Lu Xun, the so-called “Lu family” patriarch? Who else can there be?

Speaking of which, today's Wu Kingdom's birthday is on, all major families are qualified to come to pay their birthday. Although the Lu family is in decline, they are also qualified according to the rules, so... Lu Xun can appear here.

certainly…

This is not important. What is important is that his eyes froze and he looked around the other seven major families in the pavilion coldly.

He immediately laughed and said, "Are these the seven major families in Jiangdong? Listen to your comments, this is to force Mrs. Sun to death!"

"You..." Zhang Zhao said coldly...

But before he could speak, Lu Xun's words had already come out one after another.

"Yes, if our families surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would hand us over to the fellow villagers for evaluation. As long as the luck is not too bad, he can still be awarded high officials and generous salaries, and he can also be promoted step by step. If he can't be sure, he can still be promoted in the end.

What about going to the court?”

"Anyway, is the Sun family in Jiangdong the mastermind or the Cao family in Jiangdong? Our families are all working, so it is no different from surrendering or not? But... have you considered the Sun family? Have you considered taking the lead in order to unify Jiangdong,
To be continued...
