    "If I want to defeat Cao Cao, it will be easy. I only need to use a little trick to defeat him like a mountain. //.//However, I, Jingzhou, are surrounded by enemies on all sides, so I dare not make a move rashly. But if I fight him alone, I think  My two fires in the past have made Cao Cao's army frightened. Although Cao Cao has millions of people, what should he be afraid of?"

    "Absurd! Cao Cao is the hero of the world. Although Cao Zixiao and Xia Houyuanrang were defeated by you in the past, how can these two people be comparable to Cao Cao? The war has not yet begun, but sir has made fallacies early. Don't you know that arrogant soldiers will inevitably  Defeat? Wolong¡¯s name is nothing more than that. Don¡¯t be offended by your foolish words!¡±

    After Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled dumbly, shook his fan lightly and said.

    "Although Cao Cao has a good strategy, he is suspicious in nature. Those who are doubtful will worry too much. If Cao Cao really sends his troops to attack Jingzhou, I will use a peerless general to block it, entangle with it, lie on the surrounding battle lines, and bluff. Cao Cao will definitely be suspicious and hesitate.  If you move cautiously, you will delay the opportunity of fighting. I will send another general to spare his retreat, or disturb his army, or burn his food. Cao Cao's suspicion becomes more serious, and he does not know how to advance or retreat. I will then use clever tactics to arrange the formation.  Fight with the rebels, or retreat and fight them with deep trenches and slowly fight against them. In less than half a year, Cao Cao will be out of food and troops, and he will definitely retreat!"

    Zhuge Liangyi kept making witty remarks, as if he had brought the battlefield to everyone's eyes.  Zhang Zhao was surprised when he said this, and someone in the seat suddenly asked in protest.

    "The war situation is ever-changing and difficult to predict. Sir, what you talk about on paper may not always be what you expected. Today, Duke Cao has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals. They are looking at the dragon and the tiger, hoping to swallow up the world. Even if Duke Cao really loses the front line, he will gradually increase the number from the Central Plains.  Soldiers, how can Jingzhou resist with a large army?"

    Zhuge Liang heard the words and turned his eyes to look at him, which was Yu Fan.  Zhuge Liang flicked his fan and laughed again.

    "Cao Cao has been fighting for many years, and there is not much food left in the Central Plains. In fact, it is externally prosperous but internally weak, and it is difficult to sustain the war for a long time. Although we in Jingzhou have a small army and few generals, we have abundant soldiers and food, and the top and bottom work together, so we can naturally stop Cao's thieves. On the contrary, today's soldiers in Jiangdong are excellent.  There is enough food and the danger of the Yangtze River, but you still want to make your master surrender to thieves, regardless of the ridicule of the world?"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Yu Fan was so angry that he stared, but had no words to reply.  Just when everyone was sighing that Zhuge Liang's tongue and lips were like swords, and his words were sharp, another person in the seat rose angrily and shouted in a deep voice.

    "Zhuge Kongming, you are talking nonsense here, deliberately belittling Duke Cao, saying that we are not good enough, are you trying to follow the example of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, and lobby Soochow?"

    Zhuge Liang turned his eyes and looked at it. It was a stallion.  Bu Zhao is a famous person in Jiangdong, with extraordinary ability and quick wit.  Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a bright smile.

    "Buzishan regards Su Qin and Zhang Yi as debaters, so they look down upon them, but they don't know that Su Qin and Zhang Yi are also heroes in the world. Su Qin admired the seal of the six kingdoms, and Zhang Yi came to Qin twice, both with the plan to help the country and win opportunities for the country.  His merits are indispensable, and he is praised by the world. He is not afraid of the strong and bullies the weak, and he is afraid of the sword and avoids the sword. When the kings heard Cao Cao's false words, they all had their own selfish reasons and were afraid to surrender. How dare they laugh at Su Qin and Zhang Yi.  ?¡±

    Bu Zhi frowned, not daring to look Zhuge Liang Shuoshuo in the eyes, so he returned to the table and sat down, silent.  There was total silence in the hall. Zhuge Liang used his sharp words to persuade no one to respond. Suddenly, a man came out angrily and shouted.

    "How can Kong Ming treat Duke Cao as a human being?"

    Zhuge Liang turned his eyes and looked at the person again, it was Xue Zong.  Zhuge Liang squinted his bright eyes and spoke sharply in reply.

    "Cao Cao took the emperor to command the princes, disrespected the court, and used the emperor as a puppet. He was treasonous and immoral. It can be said that people and gods are angry. This man is a traitor who stole the country. Everyone in the world knows about this! Why bother asking!?"

    Xue Zong smiled coldly and retorted.

    "Kong Ming's words are wrong. The Han Dynasty has been passed down to this day, and the days are coming to an end. If it weren't for the incompetence of the previous emperors and their mistrust of traitors and eunuchs, how could the world collapse and the country be overthrown! If it weren't for Cao Gong who turned the tide and dominated the Central Plains, frightening the heroes, and how could the country be overthrown?  I don¡¯t know how many people are kings and emperors at this time! Now Cao Gong has half of the country, and everyone in the world hopes that he will soon unify the country and usher in a peaceful and prosperous age. Uncle Liu didn¡¯t know the time, and repeatedly competed with Cao Gong, just like throwing an egg against a stone, adding Jingzhou.  Now that he is surrounded by enemies, Uncle Liu is unaware of the danger and is so greedy that he even goes far away to Xichuan to make plans, so that he can be invincible? "

    Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly opened wide, and two bright and compelling rays of light suddenly shot out, and he cursed loudly.

    "Xue Jingwen, you really don't have any sense of shame. How can you say that you have no father and no king! When a man is established in the world, he should first take loyalty and filial piety as the foundation of his life. Since you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, if you see someone who is not a minister, you should swear an oath.  Kill them, this is the way of a minister. Today, Cao Cao's ancestors have been favored by the emperor because of their wealth, but they do not want to repay the favor. Instead, they have evil intentions, deceive the emperor, and plot evil.  I hate it! I don¡¯t know how to be a minister, and I just sit back and ignore it, but I will blame you for it. Today, in front of everyone, I say this fallacy. I really have no father and no mother.A good person!  If everyone in the world learns of this, what will happen to Marquis Wu¡¯s face? Your whole life¡¯s fame will be ruined by your hands!  Not enough words!  Please don¡¯t reply!  !  "

    Zhuge Liang cursed at Xue Zong, but no one dared to defend Xue Zong.  Xue Zong also knew that what he said was wrong, and returned to the table with a face filled with shame.

    Zhuge Liang angrily scolded Xue Zong. Although no one dared to defend him, Xue Zong was a minister of Jiangdong after all, and everyone was really disgraced.  Just when Zhuge Liang surprised everyone with his sharp words and shocked the entire audience.  Another person on the seat asked.

    "Although Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes, he was the prime minister of the country after Cao Shen. He was of noble birth, well-informed and well-versed in etiquette. However, although Liu Xuande was known as the emperor's uncle, there was no trace of it. He was just a man who weaved mats and sold women. He was not a common man.  Nay, if I, Soochow, unite with them, won¡¯t I be ridiculed by the world¡¯s elites?¡±

    Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, showing the slightest coldness, turned around and looked at him, it was Lu Ji, the head of the Lu family, a wealthy family in Jiangdong.  Zhuge Liang knew that these wealthy people looked down upon Liu Bei's status, so he was more inclined to join forces with Cao Cao.  Zhuge Liang thought to himself that he should use sharp words to dampen his spirit and make this Jiangdong wealthy man feel ashamed!

    Zhuge Liang smiled hoarsely, pretending to be shocked, then his expression changed and he said coldly.

    "Mr. Lu, please sit down first and listen to what Kong Ming has to say. Since Cao Cao is the successor of Cao Xiangguo, he has been a minister of the Han Dynasty for generations. He has been favored by the emperor for generations. How can he not repay it? But we see that Cao Cao is now tyrannical and bullying his father.  , Not only is he disrespectful, but he is also insulting his ancestors. When Cao Xiangguo finds out, he will be ashamed and humiliated!

    "My lord Liu Xuande is a dignified emperor. In the past, Liu Jingsheng and the current sage were both his examiners, and the sage conferred titles according to the pedigree. This is a matter known to everyone in the world."  Moreover, Emperor Gaozu started his career as a pavilion commander with a humble background, but because of his high aspirations and kindness, he was helped by outstanding people in the world, and eventually he conquered the world!  Even though my lord weaves mats and sells women, why is this a disgrace?  Although he comes from a wealthy family, he is short-sighted, contemptuous of others, and has a childish view that is not enough to talk to a noble scholar!  !  !  "

    Lu Ji was scolded repeatedly by Zhuge Liang, but he was speechless and speechless. For a moment, he seemed to be shortchanged and left the table in shame.  Zhuge Liang relied on his own power to act rampantly and recklessly in front of Jiangdong officials, but no one could stop him.  There was another person sitting on the seat who couldn't stand it. He suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

    "What Zhuge Kongming said is all based on strong rhetoric and rhetoric. It is not true and there is no need to say it again. You came here as a guest from afar, but now you are overestimating the guest. You are really a madman who does not understand the current affairs!"

    Zhuge Liang looked at it with a serious look on his face, smiled coldly, and replied quickly.

    "The Duke only saw that Kong Ming was wrong in all aspects, but he didn't see that the ministers in Jiangdong bullied the small with the large, and many of them even rebelled against the emperor and bullied the country. Could it be that this is the way of hospitality in Jiangdong, Kong Ming really saw it today!!!"

    Zhuge Liang sneered coldly, Yan Jun was speechless for a moment, and his face turned red with anger.  Suddenly another person shouted loudly.

    "Kong Ming likes to talk big words, but he may not have real knowledge. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the Confucian scholars in the world?"

    Zhuge Liang turned around and saw Cheng Deshu of Runan, a famous Confucian scholar.  Zhuge Liang knew that Confucian scholars were good at discriminating, but he was not afraid and replied in a solemn voice.

    "Kong Ming is not talented, according to Kong Ming's opinion. There is a difference between a gentleman and a villain. A gentleman's Confucianism is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, upholds the good and evil, supports justice, serves the country and loves the people, and his name will be left to future generations. If a villain's Confucianism murders loyal ministers,  The theory of bullying the country does not distinguish between loyal and treacherous. Although there are thousands of words in the pen, there is really no strategy in mind. For example, Yang Xiong is famous for his articles, but he surrenders himself to Wang Mang and dies. This is the so-called villain's Confucianism.  Subverting society is really a traitor in troubled times, and the public should speak out and tell the world of his evil with the power of words! Even gentlemen and villains can only think about it, and I hope that the public will give them the body of a gentleman!  , don¡¯t let down your heart full of Confucian literature!¡±

    Cheng Deshu was speechless after listening and couldn't answer.  Zhuge Liang and everyone responded fluently, and those who made things difficult were repeatedly frustrated and humiliated, and all were eclipsed.  Only Gu Yong and an extremely handsome young man sitting there remained silent.  Lu Ji glared and quickly glanced at the young handsome man.

    The young man noticed his uncle's gaze. After thinking for a while, he stood up and bowed to Zhuge Liang.  Zhuge Liang's expression condensed, and when he saw this young talent, he had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, his whole body was restrained in aura, and there was wisdom hidden between his brows, and he couldn't help but have a look of shock in his eyes.  This young talent is none other than Lu Ji's nephew, Lu Xun and Lu Boyan of Wu County!

    Lu Xun spoke in a concentrated voice.

    "Today I listened to Mr. Sir's eloquent remarks, which really benefited me a lot. I wonder what kind of kindness and righteousness you have in Mr. Sir's heart?"

    Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned when he heard this. He stared at Lu Xun for a while before answering.

    "Benevolence and righteousness can be big or small. The small one is respecting filial piety, eradicating evil, upholding justice, and benefiting the country. The big one is thinking about the country's worries, saving the people from disasters, not being afraid of power, and not hesitating life. This can be called benevolence and righteousness.  !¡±

    Lu Xun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.?, then asked again.

    "Sir's opinion is consistent with what I have in mind. But if it is between the country and the people, how do we choose?"

    Zhuge Liang was suddenly startled and pondered for a while, as if he was guessing what Lu Xun was thinking.  Zhuge Liang was in the lobby for the first time, and there was a pause in his words. Jiangdong's ministers were very excited to see this, and they all hoped that Lu Xun could get back from Zhuge Liang and win back his face.

    After a while, Zhuge Liang gently shook his goose feather fan and said with a smile.

    "What is a home without a country? If the people have no home, they will be like a homeless dog, wandering around and miserable. But the foundation of the country is the people. The two complement each other and are indispensable. How can you make a choice? Lu Boyan, what are you thinking?  Kong Ming already knows this.

    Although Cao Cao was powerful, he had the potential to dominate the world.  But as the saying goes, people cannot bend their will and act against their will, just like a walking corpse, living like a dead person.
