    Just as Jiangdong was hesitating whether to accept Zhuge Liang's proposal of alliance, Zhang Liao of Hefei had received an order from Xu Du. Cao Cao wanted Zhang Liao to attack Lujiang first, and reinforcements from the Central Plains would soon arrive.

    Cao Cao received Guo Jia's advice and took the lead. Jiangdong only had one place in the north of the river, the Lujiang River. If this area was lost, he only needed to be careful of Jiangdong's water power. However, Jiangdong's naval forces could easily cross the river, but they obviously did not have the ability to attack cities and demolish strongholds.  For the Central Plains, it will not be difficult to resist Jiangdong.

    In this way, Cao Cao can allocate manpower to guard against Jingxiang's invasion. Guo Jia believes that if the situation is like this, Pang Shanmin will also consider Cao Cao's previous proposal, and the two families will divide Jiangdong together.

    Zhang Liao got Cao Cao's handwriting, so he mobilized all the troops and horses to go to Lujiang to meet up with the Lujiang army that had been entrenched in the north of the Yangtze River for a long time.

    Although there has been very little fighting between the two families in the past three years, Zhang Liao has never underestimated the Lujiang army. Although Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were former water pirates, they were extremely brave. Lu Dai, Wu Jing and others were also famous generals in Jiangdong.  The Lujiang area is heavily guarded, which shows that Jiangdong is determined to return to the Central Plains.

    The gathering of Zhang Liao's army was not concealed from the eyes and ears of Jiangdong. When they heard that the mighty Hefei army and horses entered the territory of Lujiang River, all the kings and ministers of Jiangdong were shocked. Even Zhou Yu never thought that Cao Cao dared to take the lead in the expedition. Didn't he know that Jingdong  Master Xiangmou has entered Jiangdong?

    After hearing this news, Sun Quan hurriedly invited Zhuge Liang to join him in the court. He changed his previous hesitant attitude and said that he and Jing Xiang would attack the Central Plains together. When Zhuge Liang heard this, he secretly thought that Jiangdong was not a force, but he agreed with Sun Quan with a smile on his face.  Please.

    In Zhuge Liang's opinion, if Cao Cao can be defeated first.  It would be far better to be enemies with Jiangdong in the future than against the Central Plains.

    After the two families formed an alliance, Zhuge Liang returned to Changsha. When the people of Pangshan saw Kong Ming's return, they looked depressed and told Kong Ming all the "setbacks" they had encountered in the court in the past few days.

    And at the same time, letters from the Central Plains arrived again.  However, in addition to Cao Cao, the person who wrote to the people of Pangshan this time was also Guo Jia.

    The two letters arrived at the same time.  The words in the letter were all sharp. Cao Cao vowed to seize the Lujiang River, and frankly said that once Jiangdong loses the Lujiang River, it will not be of much use.  If the two families went to war, Sun Quan of Jiangdong would be advantaged in vain. Cao Cao knew that the people of Pangshan would not want to do such a stupid thing that would allow Jiangdong to reap the benefits.

    And Guo Jia also said, since Jingxiang is not afraid of the power of the Central Plains, why not sweep Jiangdong first, and then the two families will fight for the world?  Rather than leaving an opportunity for Jiang Dong to hide his evil intentions, it would be better to solve it once and for all.

    After Zhuge Liang read the letter, he shook his head and laughed.  He said to Pang Shanmin: "The Prime Minister and Mr. Fengxiao have spoken very clearly. Do you regret your earlier contact with Jiangdong?"

    Hearing this, Pang Shanmin sighed softly and said: "Pang is now troubled by the family's mentality. The Jingxiang family was very cooperative before returning power. It did not want to fight, but only wanted to protect its rights and interests. Now it is fighting against others.  I'm afraid it's inappropriate. As for what the Prime Minister and Fengxiao said, they are just alarmist talk. Pang used troops, and no matter how noisy the Central Plains was, Pang forgot about it!"

    Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and secretly said that Pang Shanmin was still awake and not confused by the outside world. It was just a family matter. Zhuge Liang didn't have a good strategy for using troops and protecting the interests of the family for a while.

    Today in Jingxiang, the Xichuan family controls a lot of financial resources. Compared with when it was in power, its influence has not declined but increased. Moreover, the laws under the rule of Pang Shanmin are strict. The families from all over the country have not violated the law, and Pangshan people cannot easily accuse them.

    After thinking for a long time, Zhuge Liang said to Pang Shanmin: "Brother, can you transfer the interests of Wancheng? If my army takes over here, more land will be allocated to the aristocratic families?"

    "Land?" Pang Shanmin laughed when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The workshops everywhere have made huge profits. The aristocratic families no longer attach as much importance to the land as before. The money earned by the people of Jingxiang from working in the workshops has far exceeded that from farming in the countryside.  There are still barren lands in Jingxiang with no one cultivating them, let alone using land from Wancheng to lure aristocratic families!"

    Hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said, "Brother can turn stones into gold, and maybe he can teach you miraculous skills!"

    "Although Pang has miraculous skills at his disposal, they are not inexhaustible. Moreover, if he compromises with the family every time he uses troops, Pang is afraid that one day he will be unable to contain the murderous intention in his heart." Pang Shanmin said,  He sighed softly and said: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The aristocratic family is seeking profit. It was originally guided by Pang, but now he has suffered the consequences. It is unspeakable suffering."

    Zhuge Liang also sighed after hearing this. He thought for a long time and said: "We must attack Wancheng first to echo Jiangdong. Brother, you can accept the humiliation for the time being and think of a better strategy after Wancheng is captured!"

    Pang Shanmin nodded slightly, secretly thinking that this is what he had to do now.

    Nowadays, bamboo paper and printing are all controlled by the Pang family. If the profits are distributed to a group of aristocratic families, it can be regarded as a compromise with them. The people of Pangshan also believe that the two Kuai are involved in this matter and can cooperate with them. Seeing that Zhuge Liang has no good plan, the people of Pangshan summon a group of people.  The head of the aristocratic family went to Changsha to discuss matters.

    ??Above the court, when the people of Pangshan speakAfter the Jingxiang family wanted to give all the skills of bamboo paper and printing to the Jingxiang family, the family no longer stopped Jingxiang from using troops. Jingxiang's military expansion in the Central Plains only affected the family's temporary benefits, which could not be compared with the bamboo paper and printing skills.  Can he continuously bring huge amounts of money to a number of aristocratic families?

    The heads of various aristocratic families "returned victoriously". When they returned home, the people of Pangshan thought for a long time and felt at a loss.

    Throughout the history of the past dynasties, there have always been disputes between rulers and wealthy families. Pangshan people have always been kind to the family, but now they have been given a slap in the face. Pangshan people are naturally unhappy. The family is seeking profit, and the big problem has made Pangshan people start to think. On the surface,  It seems that under the curtain of peace and tranquility, who has the final say in Jingxiang?

    ?? Could it be that when Jingxiang uses troops in the future, he will always have to compromise with the aristocratic family?

    In the past, the Pangshan people lived in harmony with the family because the family did not make things difficult for the people. They all gave guidance to merchants when dealing with trade. Now the family can do things on their own, and they are not as dependent on the Pangshan people as before. Their wings have become stiff, and the family's  Expansion has gradually become an obstacle on the road to hegemony for Pangshan people.

    ¡°Could it be that after this battle, we really want to free up our hands to deal with the wealthy families first?

    For a few days, Pangshan people were thinking hard at home about how to solve the problem of the expansion of the family, but Zhuge Liang devoted his energy to using troops to Wancheng. In the Lujiang area, Zhang Liao's army and Lujiang's army and horses had already clashed, while Jingxiang's army and horses  , but they are still in the process of dispatching troops.

    Jiangdong's previous hesitation has affected the speed of Jingxiang's gathering of troops, and the previous obstacles from a number of aristocratic families have also cast a haze on Jingxiang's army that is about to go on an expedition. In Zhuge Liang's view, a lion fighting a rabbit is still a waste of time.  We need to go all out, and Xu Huang is a famous general in Cao Ying. It will not be easy to defeat him in one battle in Wandi.

    Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang simply left the mansion and went to Pang Shanmin's house. After telling Pang Shanmin his concerns, he said to Pang Shanmin: "We are conquering Wancheng, and Liang wants to be the commander!"
