"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, you can't do this!" Ling Chao anxiously wanted to explain to Sun Quan, but the words' second young master 'had completely ignited Sun Quan's anger. If Sun Quan had won the battle, then it would've been fine. But now, Sun Quan had lost 5,000 elite troops. Those 5,000 troops were Sun Quan's confidants. It can be said that Sun Quan had spent a lot of effort to gather his forces, but now, they were all gone. Sun Quan's eyes lit up.
"Ling Chao, get out of the way. Since Second Young Master wants to kill me! Lu Meng had nothing to say. This battle was indeed my fault. "Lu Meng stopped Ling Chao from pleading for him. This time, Zhang Liao really taught Lu Meng a lesson. He didn't know that flames could be played like this. Lu Meng was already feeling bad. If Sun Quan really wanted to kill him, Lu Meng had nothing to say.
"Then what are you waiting for? Drag him out and behead him!" Sun Quan's face turned cold. Lu Meng and Ling Chao were sent by Sun Quan to help him, but Sun Quan preferred to be in charge. Originally, Lu Meng and Ling Chao didn't need to do this, but since they didn't give Sun Quan face, Sun Quan didn't need to give them face.
"Let's see who dares!" Ling Chao was really anxious. Lu Meng was his best friend. How could Ling Chao let Sun Quan kill Lu Meng?
But now, Sun Quan didn't want to listen to his explanation. Ling Chao directly pulled out the saber on his waist.
"Ling Chao, what do you want?" As soon as Ling Chao pulled out his saber, the entire atmosphere changed. From being fellow soldiers, it immediately became tense. This was Sun Quan's tent, and everyone here was Sun Quan's personal guards. When they saw Ling Chao pull out his saber, they naturally wanted to protect their master.
"Ling Chao, put down your saber!" Lu Meng also shouted at Ling Chao, "Do you want to die?" Sun Quan's personal guards were also not to be trifled with. Although these people were not generals, Ling Chao would have a hard time if they attacked together.
"Let's see who dares to touch Big Brother Lu Meng!" Ling Chao was also rash. Whoever dared to touch Lu Meng would have to step over Ling Chao's dead body. If it was Sun Ce in front of Ling Chao, then Ling Chao would have commanded him to plead for mercy. If Sun Ce refused, then he would have taken care of Lu Meng's funeral. But now, Sun Ce.
"Good, good! You even dared to draw your sword at me? You're really ignoring military law! Men, take them down. If they resist, kill them without mercy! Sun Quan angrily pointed at Ling Chao and said to his personal guards.
"Wait!" Just as a huge battle was about to break out, a voice stopped them.
"Lu Su, what do you want now?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Su coldly.
"General Ling Chao, put down your sword!" Lu Su stepped forward again. This time, he looked straight at Sun Quan. He knew that Sun Quan was a fickle person, but he was indeed a wise lord. In this chaotic world, it was difficult for those who valued friendship to achieve anything. The only ones who could achieve anything were those who were thick-skinned, black-hearted, and fickle. "My lord, you want to continue being the second young master? Then kill General Lu Meng and General Ling Chao! “
"Huh?! Lu Su's words confused everyone present.
Ling Chao was the first to be confused. What did he mean by continuing to be the second young master? No, second young master! Wasn't Sun Quan the second young master? Could it be anyone else? If he didn't kill Lu Meng and Ling Chao, he wouldn't be the second young master anymore? Ling Chao didn't care. As long as someone dared to take down Brother Lu, he would risk his life. Even in front of the lord, Ling Chao would tell the truth. Therefore, Ling Chao was still on guard.
"Huh?!" Lu Meng heard this and frowned thoughtfully.
Under Ling Chao's disbelief, Sun Quan forcibly suppressed his anger and sat back down on his seat. He waved his hand, "Put away your swords and leave!" He ordered his personal guards to put away their swords and leave.
"General Lu Meng must be tired. Go and rest with General Ling Chao!" Lu Su said to Lu Meng and Ling Chao.
"General, we'll take our leave!" Lu Meng looked at Lu Su and Sun Quan and changed the way he addressed Sun Quan. He cupped his fist and left with Ling Chao.
Lu Su watched Ling Chao and Lu Meng leave with his own eyes. He then cupped his fist and said to Sun Quan, "My lord, the wrath of a king will cause corpses to float for thousands of miles. If my lord wants to continue to be the second young master, then you can kill Lu Meng and Ling Chao directly. Lu Meng disobeyed military orders and acted on his own accord, causing 5000 elite Chu soldiers to suffer losses. Ling Chao disobeyed his superiors and dared to use swords in the main tent. He should be killed! Lu Su requests my lord to send your personal guards to arrest these two and punish them according to military law! " Lu Su said 'kill' twice in a row. His eyes were staring straight at Sun Quan.
"Lu Su, your eyes are blind and you recognized the wrong person. You should be killed!" Even Lu Su was implicated.
"Zijing, Zijing, I was wrong, I was wrong!" When Sun Quan heard Lu Su's words, he immediately reacted and suppressed all the discomfort in his heart.
Sun Quan wanted to capture Lu Meng and Ling Chao. First, it was because Lu Meng and Ling Chao's titles made Sun Quan uncomfortable. Second, it was because both of them had lost the battle. Third, it was because he wanted to be in power. He wanted to get the 20,000 troops that Sun Ce had given to him. This was what Sun Quan wanted. He wanted to put the 20,000 troops in the hands of Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang.
Now that Lu Su said it so clearly, Sun Quan could only retreat. Sun Quan had to listen to Lu Su's words. If he wanted to make a name for himself, he needed strategists. Just like his elder brother had Zhou Yu, he also needed his own team. Lu Su was the core of this team.
"Milord, Lu Su understands that you want military power, but you are too impatient!" Lu Su spoke to Sun Quan like that because Sun Quan was furious. If Lu Su wasn't angry, then Sun Quan wouldn't pay attention to Lu Su. Lu Su also tried his best to persuade Sun Quan.
"My lord, Lu Meng and Ling Chao were sent by Marquis Wu. Although they are under your command, we do not have any power!" Lu Su continued to speak to Sun Quan, "If Milord were to kill these two, then even if Milord were to obtain the 20,000 troops, Milord would not be able to use them! This is because the morale of the 20,000 troops will be in chaos! " Lu Su added. The 20,000 troops were basically commanded by Lu Meng and Ling Chao. Moreover, they had not changed. They still thought that their lord was Sun Ce and Sun Quan was only the second young master. They were led by Lu Meng and Ling Chao to the battle. If Lu Meng and Ling Chao were killed, the morale of the troops would be in chaos. How could they fight?
"What's more, my lord, this battle is not entirely Lu Meng's fault! This Lu Meng has the potential to be a great general. Milord should take him in and not kill him. This Ling Chao is also a great general. Although Milord has Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang, it would be difficult for them to command fifty thousand soldiers. Lu Meng and Ling Chao are Milord's first step in recruiting talents! "Lu Su's thoughts were a little further than Sun Quan's.
Sun Quan wanted to kill Lu Meng and Ling Chao to seize the military power. Lu Su, on the other hand, wanted not only the military power, but also Lu Meng and Ling Chao.
"Hm?" Hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan immediately fell into deep thought.
