Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

As soon as these two words were spoken, there was an uproar in the palace.

Sun Quan's face darkened and he said coldly:"Zhang Zibu, did I hear you correctly? You actually asked me to surrender to Cao Cao?"

Zhang Zhao, however, looked calm, stood with his hands behind his back, and walked to the middle of the hall calmly.

"Heaven sent Cao Yuan to the king of Wei, proving that the king of Wei was the destiny!"

"Of the three-thirds of the world, King Wei now has two. Jingzhou is now included in the territory of Wei. Liu Bei and the previous king have both died at the hands of King Wei."

"Now 150,000 Wei troops are approaching the city. The main force of our army has been lost. There are only more than 10,000 soldiers available in the city. The counties in Jiangdong are also in panic."

"In this situation, not to mention the king, even if the late king is still there, I am afraid there is nothing he can do to save the day."

"Therefore, I thought it would be better to take advantage of the fact that King Wei has not yet attacked the city, and the king immediately surrendered and led the people east of the Yangtze River to surrender to King Wei."

"The King of Wei is a man of great talent and great magnanimity. He will definitely think of his merits in surrendering and treat him kindly."

"Your Majesty, surrendering to the King of Wei is exactly following the destiny of heaven."

Zhang Zhao earnestly tried to persuade him to surrender.

Sun Quan clenched his fists, his face was cloudy, and he was extremely angry.

Zhang Zhao just tried to persuade him to surrender, but in his words he was extremely contemptuous of his ability, and every word he believed that he was inferior to Sun Ce.

However, he had just taken over and his authority had not yet been established. Facing Zhang Zhao, a highly respected veteran minister, he was obviously unhappy, but it was hard to get angry.

"Zhang Zhao, you old fool!"

A woman's angry voice echoed in the hall.

Everyone looked stern and looked outside the hall.

Only a female general burst into the hall in anger.

"Still fragrant!"

Sun Quan's face couldn't help but change.

Sun Shangxiang rushed to Zhang Zhao in a few steps, followed, and asked in a face-to-face manner:"Zhang Zhao, you have received great favor from my Sun family and don't want to repay it, but you want to kill my second brother and my Sun family, you Where is the conscience!"

She was actually scolding Zhang Zhao openly!

Sun Quan was surprised and was about to yell and stop him.

"Little sister, don’t forget it——"

When the words came to his mouth, Sun Quan rolled his eyes, but swallowed them back.

Although Sun Shangxiang's scolding was quite rude and disrespectful to Zhang Zhao, it also touched his heart.

As the King of Wu, it was inconvenient for him to criticize Zhang Zhao, so he might as well use Sun Shangxiang's mouth to express his dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan remained silent.

Zhang Zhao's old face was filled with surprise, and he said angrily:"Princess, I only care about the future of the king and the Sun family, how can you say such things to me?"

"If you ministers surrender to the Wei State, the worst possible outcome will be to change your court and continue to be officials of the Wei State."

"Maybe, if you Zhang Zhao is successful in persuading surrender, Cao Cao will give you a big reward and give you an official title!"

"But my brother, the king, has become the king of subjugation!"

"You, Zhang Zhao, have read classics and history, but you tell me, since ancient times, what has been the fate of kings who have subjugated their countries? Sun

Shangxiang asked with anger on his face, pointing at Zhang Zhao's nose.

Zhang Zhao blushed and groaned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.

"That Cao Cao is cruel. If my brother surrenders him, he will inevitably die sooner or later."

"I am afraid that one day my Sun family will be wiped out by Cao Cao, and we will never have any future troubles!"

"Zhang Zhao, you said you didn’t want to kill me, Mrs. Sun!"

Sun Shangxiang was so angry that he almost used violence against Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao suddenly realized it and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He was embarrassed and at a loss.

"Princess Sun's words make sense."

"Among the princes who were destroyed by Cao Cao, which one was not full of clans and would not end well?"

"Anyone in Jiangdong can surrender to Wei, but only the king surrenders to Wei. There is only a dead end!"

Zhuge Liang also took advantage of the situation and echoed.

"you shut up!"

Sun Shangxiang turned around and glared at Zhuge Liang, and said angrily:"If it weren't for you, a person with a false name, and Cao Yuan saw through your repeated schemes, how could my eldest brother be defeated to the point where the entire army is destroyed, and his body and reputation are destroyed? You have no right to speak nonsense here!"

After being choked, Zhuge Liang froze in embarrassment and looked at Sun Quan at a loss.

"Little sister, don’t be rude to Military Advisor Kong Ming!"

Sun Quan could no longer pretend to be mute and had to speak up for Zhuge Liang.

After all, he knew very well how many counselors in Jiangdong had.

Although Zhuge Liang was not as resourceful as Cao Yuan, he at least had the qualifications to compete with Cao Yuan.

As him The only counselor he could rely on, he had to stand up and protect Zhuge Liang's face.

Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly and then stopped talking.

"Zibu, I know you have good intentions, but it’s a pity that you underestimated Cao Cao’s cruelty."

"From now on, you will focus on internal affairs. As for how to resist Cao Cao, you should not interfere."

Although Sun Quan did not explicitly reprimand Zhang Zhao, he deprived him of the power to discuss military affairs. His dissatisfaction with him was self-evident.

Zhang Zhao was ashamed and did not dare to say anything anymore, so he had to retreat in sadness and embarrassment.

This At that time,

Huang Gai said again:"Although Zhang Zibu's proposal to surrender Cao Cao is somewhat inappropriate, some of his words are not bad. We only have 10,000 troops in hand, and we want to withstand the siege of 150,000 Wei troops and defend Jianye." City is not an easy task!"

The generals all nodded secretly, showing lack of confidence.

Sun Shangxiang said proudly:"It doesn't matter if Cao Cao has an army of 150,000 people. Brother Wang, let me lead the army to rob the Wei camp. I will personally behead the second Cao Cao. , avenge the eldest brother!

Princess Sun's arrogance caused all the generals to secretly shake their heads and feel sarcastic. Sun Quan also couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to comfort him:"

I know you want to avenge your eldest brother, but Cao's thieves are powerful. We Don't be reckless, you have to think long term."

"What are the long-term plans?

Sun Shangxiang said disdainfully:"If we take a long-term approach, can we still plan to send troops?" Instead of waiting for Cao Cao's troops to finish resting and attacking the city, we might as well give it a try. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope of victory!"

Sun Quan was speechless.

Suddenly, he realized that his little sister's words actually made sense.

"Your Majesty, what Princess Sun said is true. No matter how much we discuss, the fact that we only have 10,000 troops available cannot be changed."

"With such a small number of soldiers and horses, if you want to defend Jianye and drive away Cao's thieves, it is indeed necessary.……"

Huang Gai didn't say any more, just sighed helplessly.

All the generals also sighed and shook their heads. The confidence they had just mustered up suddenly sank again.

"Who said we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

Zhuge Liang's confident sneer interrupted everyone's sighs.
