Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The people of Jingzhou all admired the emperor's virtues and hoped to be governed by him.  Now that I want to fight against Cao Cao, it is not only the wish of Jingzhou Cangwu, but also the wish of the people of Jingzhou.  Just like the people in Jiangdong, they all respect the Marquis of Wu and are fortunate to have his rule.  If Jiangdong changes its owner, it will really lose the hope of the people!  "

    Lu Xun's bright starry eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light. He carefully thought about Zhuge Liang's words, showed admiration and thanked him with his hands.

    "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your advice. As Mr. Sir said, popular support for talents is the way to govern the world!"

    After speaking, Lu Xun returned to his seat.  Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Xun's figure and was filled with admiration in his heart. Lu Boyan was so young but had such knowledge. He would become a great person in the future!

    Gu Yong, who was originally preparing to confront Zhuge Liang, heard the two people's argument and murmured the word "popularity" in his mouth, and unconsciously lost his mind.

    All the officials from Jiangdong in the hall cast their glances secretly, but no one dared to speak out to make things difficult.  At this moment, a man suddenly came in from outside and shouted sternly.

    "Zhuge Kongming is a genius of the world. It is not polite to treat guests with words. Now Cao Cao wants to invade Jingzhou. Jingzhou is adjacent to our Jiangdong. If Cao Cao captures Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be in danger. You should think about it now.  The only way to defeat the enemy is to quarrel with each other!"

    The person everyone regards as Han Dang is the veteran general.  Han Dang was a veteran of Jiangdong. He followed Sun Jian in many battles and made countless achievements.  In Jiangdong, no one disrespects him.

    When everyone saw it was Han Dang, their expressions changed.  Han Dang walked in and bowed to Zhuge Liang.  Zhuge Liang also bowed to him.  Han Dang stared at the tiger's eyes and shouted in a concentrated voice.

    "If Kong Ming wanted to unite the two families, why not let me take charge of the metal and stone discussion and convince him. Now it is unwise to argue with everyone and argue with each other!"

    Zhuge Liang naturally smiled after hearing this.

    "You gentlemen ask each other questions and mock Kong Ming, but Kong Ming can tolerate it. But there are people who often mock my lord. As a minister, Kong Ming cannot be ignored."

    Han Dang snorted coldly, then glared at everyone, and after confessing his sins to Zhuge Liang, he led Zhuge Liang into the main hall.  When he arrived at the middle gate, he met Zhuge Jin and Lu Su. Zhuge Liang looked at them secretly and then walked away.

    After a while, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were walking side by side. Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu with a smile on his face, bowed and saluted.  Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's expressions were not good-looking. They had deliberately not said anything just now. They heard Zhuge Liang's argument clearly.  When Sun Ce saw that none of the officials in Jiangdong could take advantage of Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with Zhuge Liang.  Zhou Yu was also more afraid of Zhuge Liang and had a stronger intention to kill him.

    The two of them had their own ideas, but they pretended to be enthusiastic, stepped down to greet them, and treated each other with courtesy.  After the ceremony, Sun Ce sat down with Zhuge Liang.  All civil and military personnel stood in two lines.  Lu Su stood beside Kong Ming and only watched him speak.  Zhuge Liang then expressed his intention to form an alliance between the two families. At the same time, he looked at Sun Ce secretly and thought to himself.

    "Sun Bofu is an arrogant person who often compares himself with Xiang Ji. People like this can only be provoked but not talked about. This will get twice the result with half the effort!"

    After the tea was served, Sun Ce laughed, and without answering about the alliance, he looked down at Zhuge Liang and said.

    "Haha! In the past, I fought with Kong Ming in Jingzhou. Kong Ming's strategy was profound, which made me suffer a lot. After that, the two families of Sun and Liu were in good relations. However, in recent years, the imperial court appointed me, the Governor of Jiangdong, as the prefect of Nanjun.  Kong Ming should hand over Nanjun to Jiangdong, but Kongming has repeatedly refused, causing the relationship between the two families to be bad. Now that the situation is not good, he asks Jiangdong for help. Is there such a thing in the world? "

    Zhuge Liang had known that Sun Ce would definitely make things difficult for him, so he already had an answer in his mind, so he quickly responded with a courtesy.

    "The handover matters are extremely complicated, and my lord, begged by Liu Jiyu from Beneficiary State, left Xichuan. The handover of Nanjun is a big deal, and a person who is a minister of the people really dare not make the decision without authorization. I hope Wu Hou will not be weird!"

    "Oh? According to your words, could it be that if Uncle Liu Huang does not return to Jingzhou, Nanjun will not be able to return Jiangdong to me!?"

    Sun Ce's eyes narrowed and he pressed towards Zhuge Liang.  Zhuge Liang smiled happily and answered without any panic.

    "Since it is the order of the imperial court, how dare Liang shirk it. Besides, my lord is an honest man, how can he seize other people's land. Liang has already sent a document to inform my lord of this matter. Marquis Wu does not need to worry too much."

    Sun Ce smiled coldly after hearing this, and then changed the subject.

    "Kong Ming knows that Cao Cao has sent an envoy here recently, promising that if I ally with him, we will defeat Jingzhou together. After this is accomplished, will Nanjun and Jiangxia be assigned to me?"

    Cao Cao is powerful. If Soochow and I join forces with him, Jingzhou will definitely be defeated.  We, Soochow, have obtained Nanjun and Jiangxia counties, which can be said to be a sure thing.

    "But if I unite with you to fight against Cao Cao, we don't care about the outcome.  We, Soochow, will definitely lose a lot of troops and food in this battle, but when it is done, we will have to lose the river that should have been ours in the first place.South County of ??.  Kong Ming is a wise man, why not let you teach me how to make a choice!  ?  "Sun Ce had a joking smile on his face, staring at Zhuge Liang as if he was expecting Zhuge Liang to be frustrated. But Zhuge Liang's reaction was beyond Sun Ce's expectation. Zhuge Liang did not answer immediately, but asked Sun Ce.

    "Does Marquis Wu know how many troops Cao Cao has?"

    When Sun Ce heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He had also heard about Cao Cao having millions of soldiers, and he immediately became silent.

    Zhuge Liang asked himself and answered.

    "The horse-footed navy army numbered millions. When Cao Cao arrived at Yanzhou, he already had an army of 200,000 from Qingzhou. After defeating Yuan Shao, he gained another 300,000 or 400,000. He also recruited 300,000 to 400,000 new troops from the Central Plains. Cao Cao gathered millions of troops.  They are powerful and powerful in the world, and they have resourceful people and generals who can conquer battles. There are more than one or two thousand people in the world. In addition to the Cao family in the Central Plains, the existing forces in the world are the Wen family in the northwest, the Sun family in Jiangdong, the Liu family in Yizhou, and others.  If Cao Cao defeats Jingzhou, which our lord is holding, within ten years, the whole country will fall into Cao Cao's hands.

    If you want to fight against Cao Cao, only multiple forces can join forces to fight against him.  At that time, Wen Bufan was raising troops to invade Yizhou and Liu Jiyu was fighting fiercely. Cao Cao was trying to take advantage of the situation and seize Jingzhou first.  Once Jingzhou is lost, no matter whether it goes north or south, with its large number of soldiers and horses, it is a sure win!  At that time, the remaining family will be alone and unable to cry, and there will be no way out except surrendering to protect themselves!

    Lu Su, who was standing by, turned pale when he heard this. He looked at Zhuge Liang and signaled him not to anger Sun Ce.  Zhuge Liang turned a blind eye, and Sun Ce's face changed continuously, and his eyes turned evil, like an angry tiger about to go berserk.  At this moment, Zhou Yu shouted urgently.

    "Kong Ming's words are wrong. If we acquire the land of Nanjun and Jiangxia from Soochow, plus the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, and the land near the river in Jingzhou, they all belong to us Soochow. At that time, I can send troops to the four counties, and we can advance  Attack, retreat, and defend. With our lord¡¯s heroes, the danger of Soochow is strong, and Cao Cao may not be able to succeed!¡±

    Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.  Zhou Yu frowned and was about to ask.  Zhuge Liang rushed to speak first.

    "Cao Cao has a grand plan, how could Gong Jin not know about it!? Even if Jiangdong captured all the four counties of Jingzhou and Linjiang, the number of soldiers and horses was only more than 300,000. Cao Cao faced it with a million troops, not to mention the Marquis of Wu  , Gong Jin is a hero in the world, but if the soldiers see him, they will be killed before they fight! In addition, although Wu Hou has the courage of Xiang Ji, Cao Cao also has peerless generals such as Dian Erlai, Xu Zhongkang, Cao Zixiao, and others.  Brothers Zhang Junyi and Xiahou are both brave and capable generals, and the counselors who advise them, such as the "ghost" Guo Fengxiao, the "poisonous man" Jia Wenhe and others, all have unparalleled talents. If Wuhou really wants to fight with Cao Cao.  If you resist forcefully, with Liang¡¯s foolish opinion, you only have less than a 30% chance of winning! The situation is so urgent that Wu Hou will be in trouble forever!¡±

    When Zhou Yu heard this, his face turned cold and he did not answer for the time being.  At this time, Xue Zong became angry and shouted deliberately to provoke Zhuge Liang.

    "If that's the case. Why didn't my lord surrender to Cao Cao earlier, and he could also get the position of a king, and the ministers in Jiangdong could also keep their families safe and sound!"

    Lu Su looked shocked and hurriedly retorted to Xue Zong.

    "You are wrong! Jiangdong's foundation has been established for two generations, how can we abandon it to others once? This statement is really a treasonous fallacy! Never say it again!"

    Xue Zong was about to open his mouth to respond when suddenly two cold rays of light burst out from Sun Ce's eyes. He had already secretly learned that Xue Zong had had many contacts with Cao Cao in recent years and had received a lot of gold and silk.  This time Liu Ye entered Jiangdong, and Liu Ye frequently visited Xue Zong's residence.  At this time, Xue Zong ignored his previous words that he could no longer promote Cao Cao, and he even confirmed that Xue Zong had secretly defected to Cao Cao.

    Xue Zong didn¡¯t know that he was about to be in disaster. He argued with Lu Su, but Zhuge Liang stood aside and sneered.  Zhou Yu saw it with keen eyes, his face turned cold, and he asked coldly.

    "Why is Kong Ming smiling?"

    As Zhou Yu spoke, Xue Zong and Lu Su immediately stopped arguing and looked at each other.  Zhuge Liang bowed respectfully and then said.

    "You don't laugh at others, you just laugh when you don't know how to respect others."

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Lu Su's face was full of anxiety. For some reason, Zhuge Liang suddenly switched sides and turned against him, asking harshly.

    "Kong Ming actually wants to form an alliance with the Sun and Liu families. How can he laugh at me for not knowing current affairs?"

    Zhuge Liang silently looked at Sun Ce, then turned to look at Xue Zong and laughed.

    "In my humble opinion, Xue Jingwen's desire to demote Cao is very reasonable."

    When Xue Zong heard this, he immediately laughed, but he did not notice that his lord Sun Ce's face was so dark that he was about to drip with water, and his domineering eyes were filled with murderous intent.  Just listen to Xue Zong say with a smile.

    "Hahaha! Zhuge Kongming is indeed a man who knows the current affairs, and he must be of the same mind as me. Duke Cao is powerful, and the world will be ruled by him sooner or later. In my opinion, if both the Sun and Liu families surrender to Duke Cao, they will not be able to leave.  In three years, the world will be at peace.!  This is actually the greatest blessing for the people of the world!  "

    When Lu Su heard this, his face trembled with anger and he shouted to Zhuge Liang.

    "Kong Ming, you are a loyal and righteous man, how can you say such treacherous and unethical words!?"

    Zhuge Liang secretly used his peripheral vision to keep an eye on Sun Ce. Seeing that Sun Ce was furious and about to explode, he was extremely happy and immediately replied to Lu Su.

    "As Xue Jingwen said, Cao Cao is the most powerful person in the world. No one in the world can stop him. Uncle Liu Huang is the only one who does not know the current affairs and repeatedly teaches Kong Ming that although the thieves are powerful, they cannot be tolerated. Kong Ming is a minister, how dare he disobey my master's will  , so we have to fight for balance with Cao Cao. Now Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies. Cao Cao will send troops forcefully to invade. If Cao Cao takes Jingzhou, the evil situation will increase again. Xue Jingwen is determined to surrender.  Cao can be said to have prepared for a rainy day. He can protect his wife and be rich and noble. It is a pity to pay the fate of the country!" Wu Hou Yiyi obeyed.
