Chapter 556 Successful Frame-up! Is the Minister's Mansion Beckoning to Jiangdong?
Ling Tong's blood-covered appearance filled Sun Quan with immense fear.
Ling Tong's words further confirmed the "fact" that Lu Su was an internal traitor!
Otherwise, why would Ling Tong risk his life to slander Lu Su?
Not to mention Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, three veteran generals with long service records, who have already lost their lives because of Lu Su's betrayal!
"Guards, bring Lu Zijing here!"
Sun's anger was instantly ignited.
But Sun Quan is Sun Quan; even when Guo Tu wasn't exerting his influence, Sun Quan's intelligence was still intact.
Despite Ling Tong's claim that Lu Su was a traitor, various clues pointed to Lu Su.
Sun Quan, however, always felt that something was very off.
If Lu Su was a traitor, then why did he keep urging him to withdraw his troops?
Instead of withdrawing our troops, we should continue to persuade him to attack Hefei, and then stab him in the back at a crucial moment. Wouldn't that be more profitable?
wrong!
Sun Quan immediately rejected this idea.
First of all, his overall strength far surpasses that of Zhang Liao.
Neither his personal command ability nor his troop strength could compare to Zhang Liao's. (Important point)
If no one on our side leaks the news tonight, Hefei should have already been captured.
Therefore, Lu Su's advice to him to withdraw his troops before tonight was undoubtedly an attempt to hinder him from expanding his gains.
Furthermore, Lu Su's leak of information does not mean that Lu Su was an undercover agent!
There is a huge difference between the two.
Besides undercover agents, it was mostly teammates who leaked information!
"Undercover agent" refers to someone who was originally in Cao Cao's camp.
A teammate who leaks information refers to someone who, for their own selfish gain, is willing to jeopardize the overall situation of their own team!
Recently, Lu Su has been filled with malice towards Guo Tu.
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Su was driven by jealousy.
Guo Tu, a newcomer, became Sun Quan's most trusted confidant and advisor, which hindered Lu Su's original position.
This enraged Lu Su, and coupled with the repeated rejections of his plans, he took a desperate gamble and leaked the secret to Zhang Liao!
Having an overactive imagination can sometimes be a bad thing.
Before his personal guards could even bring Lu Su over, Sun Quan had already thoroughly analyzed Lu Su's motives for the crime and even figured out the process of the crime!
Guo Tu, who was standing to the side, observed this scene closely.
With acting skills on full display, ready to start the show at any moment!
Finally, Lu Su was brought over.
The moment Ling Tong saw Lu Su, he rushed forward and kicked Lu Su in the knee!
Lu Su never expected this to happen.
Caught off guard, I suffered excruciating pain.
But when Lu Su saw Ling Tong's blood-covered face, he disregarded his own pain and asked Ling Tong:
"General Ling, weren't you ordered to attack the city? How could this be..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Tong raised his legs, ready to deliver a deadly series of kicks to Lu Su.
Fortunately, Xu Sheng and Xing Daorong rushed in and stopped Ling Tong in time.
Otherwise, Lu Su would have been kicked unconscious by Ling Tong.
"Zijing, General Cheng, General Huang, and General Han have all died in battle."
"Was it you who leaked our army's attack plan?"
Sun Quan stared at Lu Su expressionlessly, trying to discern something from his expression.
"My lord! Do you suspect your subordinate?"
Lu Su never expected that Sun Quan would not only ignore his plan, but also regard him as a traitor!
Seeing this, Guo Tu knew it was time for him to take the stage.
He then very considerately comforted Sun Quan, saying:
"My lord, Zijing has always been loyal to you."
"There must be some misunderstanding here, otherwise how could Zijing have leaked the information?"
"Perhaps it was one of his trusted subordinates who betrayed him!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Su was furious.
At first glance, Guo Tu's words seem reasonable, and even seem to be an attempt to exonerate Lu Su.
But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that when trusted confidants make mistakes, it is almost always at the behest of their masters!
Take the work atmosphere in the Ministry of Personnel as an example. If Xun Yu hadn't taken the lead in this intense competition, how could it have reached such a level?
Cattle and horses aren't raised in a day.
The Minister's office has been like this for a long time, not just for a day or two!
Therefore, at this moment, Guo Tu, this seemingly innocent but actually naive person, is not helping Lu Su at all, but is instead adding fuel to the fire.
"My lord! I have absolutely not betrayed you!"
Faced with Sun Quan's crisis of trust, Lu Su fell into a self-justification trap.
For a seasoned paranoid person like Sun Quan, once doubts arise, no amount of empty talk can convince him.
In fact, it's better to keep your mouth shut than to speak.
Lu Su clearly did not understand this principle.
Sun Quan watched quietly as he defended himself.
suddenly.
With a heavy expression, Zhuge Jin lifted the curtain of the large tent and walked to Sun Quan's side.
"My lord, Zijing's personal guards have already been accepted."
"It was after dinner last night that Zijing sent someone to the city of Hefei to secretly meet with Zhang Liao!"
Lu Su's eyes widened:
"Ziyu! What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't do it!"
Guo Tu smiled gracefully, revealing the beautiful figure of Consort Guo.
He wept as he said regretfully:
"Oh, Zijing, Zijing, how foolish you are!"
"Even if you despise Guo from the bottom of your heart, you shouldn't have used such methods to kill General Cheng, General Huang, and General Han!"
"What crime have they committed!"
Lu Su was completely numb.
Based on his understanding of Zhuge Jin as an honest man, he knew that Zhuge Jin would never resort to dirty tricks such as framing someone.
Therefore, there is only one truth!
It must have been Guo Tu who coerced and bribed Lu Su's personal guards to produce a false testimony, and then instructed Zhuge Jin to search for evidence.
As a fair third party, Zhuge Jin's captured witnesses and testimonies are undoubtedly the most valuable.
Furthermore, Ling Tong's defeat led him to believe that Lu Su was a traitor.
With all these factors combined, Lu Su was in a situation where he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
"Zijing, what else do you have to say?"
Sun Quan's chest heaved with anger.
Having doubts in one's heart and confirming that Lu Su was a traitor are two completely different things.
Once, before Guo Tu arrived in Jiangdong.
Without exaggeration, Lu Su was Sun Quan's most trusted confidant, without exception.
But Lu Su seems to have changed now.
They actually disregarded the great cause of the Northern Expedition in Jiangdong for their own selfish interests!
Sun Quan couldn't understand why Lu Su had become like this!
It's the same reason why he couldn't take Hefei even when he had the advantage.
"Take Zijing away and execute him at noon tomorrow!"
Sun Quan waved his hand.
More than 8,000 elite troops were defeated at the foot of Hefei City, and three veteran generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, died in battle!
Such a crushing defeat requires Lu Su to take responsibility for it.
and so.
Lu Su must die!
Guo Tu laughed inwardly, knowing that the KPL would be completed soon.
Of course, Guo Tu had his eye on more than just Lu Su!
Jiangdong doesn't have many top-tier generals, but it has quite a few capable administrators.
With so many talented individuals, if they were sent to the Minister of Personnel's residence, wouldn't Xun Yu immediately kowtow to Guo Tu on the spot?
The thought of someone as ruthless as Painful Lord being treated like a father made Guo Tu almost burst out laughing!
