Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 3965 An audience with Lu Bu

The final confrontation between Wu officials did not have the desired effect, and now Wu has become the territory of Jin.

"Gong Jin, what do you think of this matter?" Zhang Zhao asked in a low voice.

Zhou Yu shook his head and had no more words. Zhou Yu had always been wary of Zhang Zhao, especially when Cao Cao was powerful, Zhang Zhao even led Jiangdong to join the imperial court. Such an idea was vetoed by Sun Quan at the time.

What Zhang Zhao brought was that he was not reused by Sun Quan. Although Zhang Zhao was still in the position of an important official, with Zhang Zhao's ability, even becoming the prime minister of Wu was more than enough.

Putting aside these, Zhang Zhao has also made a lot of efforts for the development of Jiangdong. He has been following Sun Quan for many years and devoted his efforts to the development of Jiangdong. It is indeed not easy. This is also at the last moment.

, the reason why Sun Quan still summoned Zhang Zhao.

The five people left the palace with solemn thoughts. They knew that from now on, it would be difficult to see Sun Quan. Sun Quan was a prisoner of the Jin army at this time. With Lu Bu's methods, how could Sun Quan be allowed to have any chance?

There is more freedom to speak of. It can be seen from the Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Cao family that Lu Bu captured before that as long as these people can live peacefully in Chang'an, Lu Bu will not cause any more difficulties for them.

Compared with these people, Sun Quan's advantage is probably that Sun Shangxiang is in the palace.

Three days later, Zhou Yu and others went to the palace to meet Lu Bu.

After learning this news, Lu Bu was overjoyed. Since Sun Quan met the officials in Jiangdong, there were quite a few Jiangdong officials who took refuge. However, Lu Bu was most concerned about the surrender of Zhou Yu and others.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong came on this trip, but Sun Shao did not come. Sun Shao was the prime minister of Jiangdong. Needless to say, he must be a talented person. However, Sun Shao knew that after he defected to the Jin Kingdom,

I don’t have many years left to live, so I might as well just refuse and leave behind a name of loyalty.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's defection was not only for their own future, but actually had a certain connection with the family behind them. If they could be reused after defecting to the Jin State, why not stabilize the family and even help them?

It may develop even more during the chaos in Jiangdong.

After some persuasion from Sun Quan, they decided to go to Lu Bu's command to give it a try. Now that the Jin Kingdom has been unified, they want to see what kind of actions Lu Bu will take at home. If it is true as Sun Quan said before, Lu Bu will

It would definitely be a huge temptation for Jin officials to set their sights on distant countries and make further efforts to expand Jin's territory.

Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Army. He is not only good at fighting on the water, but is also very powerful when leading troops on the ground.

If Zhou Yu were given as elite soldiers as the Jin army, the outcome of the battle against the Jin army would be uncertain.

The system of Jiangdong Army determines what kind of record it will have when facing the powerful Jin army. Even under such circumstances, Zhou Yu still led the soldiers in the army to persist until the end.

"I am very happy that you can come." Lu Bu laughed.

"The guilty minister has seen His Majesty." The four of them saluted.

"No need to be polite, just get up." Lu Bu said.

After receiving Lu Bu's order, the four of them stood up and stood on both sides.

"I have put a lot of effort into getting you to join me. Not only do I have to capture you, but I also have to make you accept the Jin Kingdom from your heart. This is much more difficult than fighting." Lu Bu said with a smile.

From Lu Bu's relaxed tone, Zhou Yu and others could feel that Lu Bu valued them. Such a situation would always give people an unbelievable feeling when it comes to the captured Jiangdong officials. However, Lu Bu's previous actions also showed that

, Lu Bu attaches great importance to the treatment of prisoners.

In order for Sun Quan to come forward to persuade him to surrender, Lu Bu must have had some conversations with Sun Quan.

To be fair, Lu Bu was helpful to the Sun family when the Sun family had not yet risen in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce was once saved by Lu Bu's subordinates. The people of Jiangdong must recognize these kindnesses.

"After you all take refuge, my wish will be fulfilled." Lu Bu looked very happy.

Perhaps Lu Bu's emotions infected Zhou Yu and others, and the four of them also expressed some of their own opinions, making the scene more lively.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Yu secretly praised that Lu Bu's method was indeed extraordinary. He was able to make them willing to speak out their opinions in such a short period of time, and sometimes put forward some opinions on their opinions, which was enough to show that

This shows how much Lu Bu attaches importance to people like them.

Such matters are particularly important when it comes to surrendered officials.

"Now that I have pacified the world, what do you think of the development of Jiangdong?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhang Zhao immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, although Jiangdong has not experienced many wars, the Jiangdong Army's deployment for many years has exhausted the people of Jiangdong. Now the officials under the Holy Majesty's administration of Jiangdong should focus on recuperation and recuperation, so that the people can

Get real stability.”

"Given the fertile land of Jiangdong, it will only take a few years to restore its former prosperity."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "What Zi Bu said is true. Now I have issued an order that all the people in the four counties east of Jiangdong will be exempted from taxes for three years."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said. This praise was sincere. If the same thing was done to Sun Quan, he would definitely not make such a decision. It's not that Sun Quan doesn't want to do it, but that he can't do it.

Originally, Sun Quan only had the four counties of Jiangdong in his hands. After exempting the people from paying taxes, what would happen to the country and what would happen to the army?

But such things are very different in the hands of Lu Bu. Lu Bu now occupies the world. The taxes of the four counties in Jiangdong are not that important to Lu Bu. After pacifying Jiangdong, it is only the consumption of defending Jiangdong's army.

Jiangdong's taxes could no longer bear it. The withdrawal of these troops relieved the pressure on the Jin army.

In any case, if the Wu State still exists, it will pose a certain threat to Jingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

After Zhou Yu and others learned that Lu Bu would exempt the four counties of Jiangdong from taxes for three years, they were quite satisfied. From this matter, it can be seen that Lu Bu is absolutely sincere when it comes to treating the people of Jiangdong and can do what he wants.

It is indeed not easy to find a monarch who is exempt from taxes.
