Chapter 284
Cao Cao perked up and asked urgently:"What does it mean to attack the heart?"
"After Zhuge Liang and Lu Su fled back to Jiangdong, they would lie and claim that Sun Ce was killed by the king, so as to arouse Huang Gai and other Sun family ministers to support Sun Quan as their leader and continue to be enemies of the king."
"What the king has to do is to write a message to expose the truth that Zhuge Liang and Lu Su abandoned Sun Ce and forced Sun Ce to commit suicide, so as to arouse the suspicion of the Sun family officials towards the two thieves."
"And Sun Quan was supported by the two thieves Zhuge, so the officials would naturally be suspicious of Sun Quan. They speculated that he had instructed the two thieves Zhuge to deliberately kill Sun Ce in order to gain the throne of King of Wu."
"In this way, the suspicion of the kings and ministers of the Wu Kingdom will definitely make people's hearts confused. When the king attacks Jianye City again, why worry about not being able to defeat it in one fell swoop!"
Cao Yuan sipped his wine and told all about his heart attack plan.
Cao Cao suddenly realized it and praised:"Attack the city first, attack the heart first. Ziyou's heart attack plan really captures the essence of the art of war!"
All the advisers and generals praised him one after another.
"Your Majesty, this message cannot be written by Your Majesty, otherwise it will not be able to convince the public."
"I think that if this statement could be written by Taishi Ziyi, it would be shocking and convincing."
Guo Jia pointed at Tai Shici.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Wu surrendered general.
Cao Cao was deeply convinced.
Who is Tai Shici? He was the most powerful general in the Wu State, and he was Sun Ce's life and death friend.
Guang Guang It was his surrender to Wei that dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of the Wu people.
Now he has written another personal message to expose what Zhuge Liang and Lu Su did. Its influence is self-evident.
"Ziyi, are you willing to write this message?"
Cao Cao looked at Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci said happily:"As long as I can help the king break the city and kill the two thieves Zhuge, I will not be afraid of swords, mountains, fire and sea, let alone a message!"
"good!
Cao Cao was overjoyed and waved his hand:"Bring Ziyi a pen and paper quickly!""
The tiger guard presented him with paper and pen.
Taishi Ci picked up the pen and wrote out a message with indignation.
Cao Cao trusted Taishi Ci and also checked and reviewed it. He immediately ordered tens of thousands of copies to be transcribed, and he used strong bows and crossbows to shoot. Heading to Jianye City.
Messages fell from the sky, covering the entire Jianye City.
In less than half a day, 70,000 messages entered the city, and almost every household in Wu had one copy.
People were shocked.
"It turns out that King Wu committed suicide and was not killed by King Wei!"
"Zhuge Liang and Lu Su actually abandoned King Wu and fled, killing King Wu?"
"Our current King of Wu is still supported by Zhuge Liang and Lu Su. Could it be that he ordered those two people to kill his brother?"
"It's not impossible. If King Wu had not died, how could this person be in power now?"
"This is a statement personally written by General Taishi, and it is probably true."
……
The city was full of turmoil and rumors were spreading.
Inside the palace hall.
Sun Quan, who was sitting on the throne, held the slogan in his hand, his face as gloomy as iron.
The king of Wu's throne is facing internal and external troubles before his butt gets hot.
150,000 Wei troops were approaching the city outside the city. Jianye and even the Kingdom of Wu were on the verge of destruction.
At the critical moment, Taishi Ci's message made him suspected of murdering his brother Sun Ce and trying to steal the throne.
Sun Quan felt bitter in his heart.
Wow!
The slogan in his hand was torn to pieces.
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and cursed angrily:"Tai Shi Ci is a thief. My brother Wang has been kind to him. He betrayed my Sun family and surrendered to Cao. He dared to be so shameless and helped Cao thief shake the hearts of our Wu people. It is really hateful."!"
Although this new Lord of Jiangdong is young, he is quite resourceful and insightful. Naturally, he can see the purpose of this statement.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. This must be Cao Yuan's vicious plan. He just wants to alienate and shake the morale of our people."
"I thought that the king should immediately order all the memoranda to be confiscated, and anyone who dared to hide them secretly would be punished as a collaborator!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and offered a plan unhurriedly.
"What the military advisor said makes sense. Sun
Quan nodded solemnly and shouted sternly:"This is the king's edict to confiscate these memoranda immediately. Anyone who dares to keep them secretly will be severely punished, regardless of officials or civilians!""
The ministers dare not disobey.
However, the suspicion in their hearts has not been dispelled.
"Your Majesty, I have been holding back a sentence for a long time, and I want to ask Military Advisor Zhuge face to face!"
A veteran with half-white beard and hair finally stood up.
Huang Gai, one of the three veterans of the Sun family.
Cheng Pu and Han Dang have died. He is now the only remaining veteran and the oldest in the Wu Kingdom. veteran
"What does the old general Gongfu want to ask the military advisor?"
Sun Quan's tone immediately became gentler to show his respect for him.
Huang Gai looked directly at Zhuge Liang with his razor-sharp eyes and asked sternly:"Kong Ming, I want to ask you, when Chaisang was defeated that day, did you respect Lu Zijing? Abandoned the late king, causing him to be trapped in a tight siege?"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and other generals all looked at Zhuge Liang and Lu Su.
Huang Gai's question also revealed the suspicion in their hearts.
Lu Su's palms already had a layer of cold sweat. He was trembling in his heart, but he could only pretend to be calm.
There was grievance on Zhuge Liang's face, and he sighed bitterly:"These are all Cao Yuan's vicious tricks to slander me and Zijing. It's such a clumsy divorce plan, Old General." Do you still believe it?"
"Don't worry about whether I believe it or not! Huang
Gai waved his hand and said,"I want to hear it from you, did you do it or not?""
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to put away his grievances, and an unprecedented solemnity filled his face.
He took a deep breath and cupped his hands to Huang Gai:"Liang swears to heaven, if Liang abandons the late king that day, he will let me, the ancestor of the Zhuge family, The heroic spirits of all the sects have no peace under the nine springs, and I am tortured by a thousand cuts, and I will not die a good death!"
Lu Su secretly took a breath and glanced at Zhuge Liang in surprise.
He was so ruthless, he even swore on his ancestors!
Moreover, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, as if he really had a clear conscience.
He even swore such a poisonous oath. Why did Huang Gai continue to question him, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Quan took advantage of the situation and said:"I have already said that it was Cao Cao's thief's plan to alienate you. You can't believe it. Now we are doing it right." When we work together to fight Cao's thieves, how can we be suspicious of each other!
The suspicions of the generals were slightly suppressed. Sun Quan felt relieved and said:"Instead of thinking nonsense, you should think carefully about how to defend Jianye and repel the enemy Cao's thieves.""
The generals were silent, and no one had a plan to deal with it.
Even Zhuge Liang didn't have a perfect plan for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I think there is only one way we can choose now."
Zhang Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Sun Quan's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly:"What good plan does Zibu have?"
Zhang Zhao cleared his throat and said two words loudly:
"Subdue Wei!"
