Chapter 42 (24)

In the conference hall, Sun Quan sat on the main seat, the civil officials below were headed by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Fan and others, Lu Su was still at the back, the military attache was headed by Sun Jing, and the military officials were Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Lü Meng and others

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zijing has been absent recently, Zhongmou is absent-minded, and now that Zijing has returned, we should also talk about the future development", Sun Quan waved his hand to sit down and said

Everyone present instantly looked at Lu Su, his eyes were varied, this rich man who was known as attached to the second son of Jiangdong in the past, it seems that he is about to enter the upper realm of Jiangdong, and it is also the highest decision-making field, he is not there to let the lord and the six gods have no master, it seems that he really has to look at him with new eyes

Most of the ministers present were ministers from the time of Sun Cetuo's loneliness, and they all knew that Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and even Zhou Yu valued Lu Su, and they also knew the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't say anything when they heard the words

Lu Su faced all kinds of eyes from everyone, and they all responded with a smile

"What do you think of the defeat of this Jingzhou crusade", Sun Quan was silent when he saw this, and then asked

As soon as Sun Quan's words came out, everyone's eyes directly shifted to Zhang Zhao (身shēn), and Zhang Zhao also lowered his head a little confused

This review of the Jingyang War, Sun Ce had already written it when he was still there, and this lord mentioned it again, what does it mean

"Second uncle, what do you think", seeing that no one spoke, Sun Quan couldn't help but ask Sun Jing, the city defense commander of Wu County

"I, I don't know", Sun Jing glanced at Sun Quan when she heard this, and said

"Can anyone talk about it", Sun Quan glanced around at everyone and asked

Everyone couldn't guess Sun Quan's thoughts, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke

"You don't want to say it, then I'll tell you", Sun Quan saw this, and suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and then said, "This battle lies in our army's miscalculation of Jingzhou's strength, the southern battlefield can not end quickly, the defeat of the Xiangyang War, the rapid march from Jiangxia to Xiangyang did not completely conquer Jingzhou, therefore, our defeat, the battle is the main reason, but the more important potential factor is that our military strength is not strong enough."

"What does the lord mean by this?" , Zhang Zhao suddenly raised his head when he heard this, looked at Sun Quan in disbelief, and asked, the meaning of this lord is not like the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn, but the military strength is not strong enough is divided into two aspects, the first is that the army is not enough, and the army needs to be expanded, if it is this, it is a bit of a reckless meaning, at this time in the conscription, not only to make Jiangdong, which is already a bit chaotic, worse, but also the horn of war will make Jiangdong go to an extremely dangerous field, and the second meaning is that the economy can not keep up, there is not enough food and grass, there is not enough soldiers, therefore, the military is not strong enough, then the next thing is naturally to strengthen the economy and encourage childbirth, just, this may be a bit small for the lord who wants to take revenge on Jingzhou

"Lord Zhang is right", Sun Quan seemed to see through Zhang Zhao's thoughts, and said, "Our military strength is not strong enough, it is because of our economy, the strength of the army is not as good as Jingzhou, now is the time for comprehensive recuperation, but at this time, it is also the time for us to vigorously develop talents, those guys, should also support us like a father", Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and said slowly

"The lord is wise", Zhang Zhao suddenly had a happy face when he heard this, and said with his hand

Everyone also looked at Sun Quan happily and shouted loudly that the lord was wise

With the appeal and cohesion of the Sun family in Jiangdong, it will not take a few years to recover a lot of combat strength, so that the hesitation of the people in Jiangdong can be quickly reduced

"Besides, I want Zijing to tell us about Jiangdong's number one enemy", Sun Quan nodded, and then said to Lu Su

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zi Jing is ugly", Lu Su smiled at everyone, and then opened a map of the world, and said, "Then the end of the Great War in the Central Plains of Hebei, the world knows that the current Prime Minister Cao Cheng is about to ascend the stage of the super overlord and sweep the grasslands of Hebei, and it is already time to wait for him, at that time, whether he will go west to the northwest or south to Jingyang, that is already predictable"

Lu Su drew a huge circle in the Central Plains and Hebei, and then said, "The poor land in the northwest is by no means the first important place for Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who has a rich Central Plains and Hebei, and it is obvious to all to go south to Jingyang, the battle of Guandu, Cao's strong concealment ability surprised everyone, Cao ((Cao cāo) cāo) is good at using people, good at using soldiers, is really the enemy of Jiangdong, if he leads a million troops to the south, Jiangdong's future is really worrying"

Lu Su's words instantly made everyone's faces look ugly, everyone here knows the details of the battle of Guandu, the Central Plains is incomparably powerful in all states in the world, if you take Hebei again, with Hebei's powerful cavalry and economy, a million army can be taken out at will, a million army, south to Jiangdong, who can resist, or rather, who can resist

Compared with Cao ((Cao cāo) cāo), this Jingzhou old enemy is not a little weak, and the most terrifying thing is that even if he knows that the future of Cao ((Cao cāo) cāo is bright, and he knows that he can't be allowed to grow, but it makes all the princes have powerlessness, and even the war makes the princes of the world tired, and this Cao ((Cao cāo) cāo) southward is already a foreseeable thing

"That son Jingjun Shi, it seems that how do we resist it", Sun Jing hurriedly said when he heard this, as a member of the Sun family, as a child of the Sun family who has accompanied Sun Jian's father and son for many years, he is present and Sun Quan, the most important thing is the potential threat, others can surrender Cao ((Cao cāo) cāo) to get the high-ranking officials again, but the children of the Sun family are different, if they really lose their current status, the prisoner is their only ending, who doesn't know that the children of the Sun family have infinite potential

"In Zijing's opinion, in addition to vigorously developing the economy and encouraging childbirth, we must always listen to the situation in the north and Jingzhou, find the right time to take Jingzhou Yizhou in one fell swoop, and Cao ((Cao cāo) cāo) to rule the river", Lu Su glanced at everyone, and then said, "And if we can't quickly recover our strength, we can replace it with Jingzhou and Yizhou, and form an alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they couldn't help but give Lu Su a buddy look at him, and then looked at Sun Quan

Who in Jiangdong doesn't know that Sun Quan and Qiu are as deep as the sea, and dare to say that they have an alliance with Jingzhou, and there is only one Lu Su in Jiangdong

"Liu Biao and I swear not to stand on each other, and it is impossible to form an alliance", Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and said coldly

"If the general trend is that we don't have the strength to compete with Cao ((Cao cāo)cāo) alone, an alliance is the only option," Lu Su said slowly as if he hadn't seen Sun Quan's face change drastically

"There is no need to mention the matter of the alliance", Sun Quan took the case and said sharply

Sun Quan's color change frightened everyone, and many people also sweated for Lu Su, sighing Lu Su's boldness, although he did not ally with Jingzhou now, but dared to say pro-Liu words again and again in front of the current lord of Jiangdong, only Lu Zijing

"If Zijing insists, can the second prince consider it", Lu Su also stood up, looked at Sun Quan with a smile, and said

Looking at the familiar smile, Sun Quan suddenly sat down, said, glanced at Lu Su, and said sullenly, "Give me a reason"

"The lord will not form an alliance with Liu Biao, and Zijing will never form an alliance with Liu Biao, but now that Liu Biao, who is old and decrepit, there is not much time left, and we can form an alliance with Jingzhou in the future", Lu Su stroked his short beard, also sat down, and said

"I hope the master will advise", hearing this, Zhang Zhao suddenly started to be a peacemaker, and said with his hand, Lu Su's performance made everyone's eyes shine, Sun Quan is notoriously stubborn, and now he is in charge of Jiangdong, if he often insists on going his own way, then their work will be difficult to carry out, but if there is an existence that can persuade him, and it is the existence of general knowledge, it is a good thing for everyone

"Now Liu Biao is over fifty years old, the successive defeats and the growing strength of the north (Rirì) will definitely stimulate him, Liu Biao is the master of Shoucheng, he will definitely do everything possible to hold Jingzhou, foreign aid is the best choice he can think of, and it is reported that Liu Bei, the king of Jingzhou, appeared north of Huainan, no accident, Liu Biao will definitely invite Liu Bei to join Jingzhou, if we can't quickly annex Jingzhou, then divide Jingzhou with Liu Bei equally, and form an alliance against the north, is the best choice", Lu Su glanced at everyone and said

"Liu Biao would really give up Jingzhou to Liu Bei so generously", Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Su in disbelief and asked

"Of course not, but he needs Liu Bei, if Liu Bei meets his imagined expectations, and the north is about to go south, then there is no suspense that Liu Bei will enter Jingzhou, so we must quickly become strong before Liu Bei firmly takes root in Jingzhou", Lu Su shook his head and said

"If it is not a last resort, Zhongmou does not want to form an alliance with Jingzhou, but if it is the general trend, it is not impossible to form an alliance with the king of the Central Plains, and please help me to strengthen Jiangdong and level Jingzhou", Sun Quan stood up again when he heard this, bowed to everyone, and said loudly

"I am willing to serve the Lord's work of dogs and horses", everyone also stood up and shouted loudly when they heard this

At the crossing of the Yellow River, Guan Yu looked at the glacial Yellow River in a daze, and from a distance, Guan Yu was standing alone, but in fact, there was still a (body shēn) fluffy ferret's (body shēn) shadow standing next to Guan Yu (body shēn), but this (body shēn) shadow had tended to be invisible, so that the indifferent Guan Yu and the tiger's eyes also flashed infinite sentimentality and anger

The strange (情qíng) flower that is silent in Yuzhou has the effect of stimulating (情qíng) all the time, especially for (情qíng) true people, Hu Dingjin cares most about Guan Yu in his life, losing Guan Yu, she seems to be a snow peony without a soul, trembling in the wind and snow waiting for the peony of the (spring chūn) day, although it is not withered, it is stubbornly persistent, but it is also infinitely close to withering, just because of the belief in her heart, beyond the barrier of time and space

After meeting Guan Yu again, Hu Dingjin's illness (情qíng) not only did not improve, but became more serious, and now, he has completely relied on internal force to water it, and has become a half-human and half-ghost state

The effect of the flower did not disappear because of the reunion with Guan Yu, because Hu Dingjin still has a second person to worry about, that is, Guan Yinping, before she met Guan Yu, she was more concerned about Guan Yu, and because she was full of love and confidence for Guan Yu, she could also suppress the stimulation of the flower with her will, but now that her wish has been achieved, it has aggravated her illness, because her confidence in Guan Yinping is far less than Guan Yinping's ability, and she can't be sure of Guan Yinping's now(情qíng) situation, always worried about Guan Yinping's (情qíng) situation at the moment, she is afraid of losing the other half of her life

For Hu Dingjin, Guan Yu is half of her life, and Guan Yinping is the other half, and she herself is just an accessory to accompany the two

For this reason, Guan Yu could only rush to Luoyang to find an antidote, but now that his strength has been greatly damaged, Hu Dingjin, who can't stay on Chitu for a long time, makes Guan Yu anxious but helpless

Yecheng, on the second floor of a small restaurant, a lightly dressed young strategist and a hairy girl are sitting opposite, the girl stares at the young man opposite with a smile on her face, her beautiful eyes flashing with complex (情qíng) threads, nervous, excited, happy, and exciting

"Little bit, you haven't seen enough of me from the jade carving to now, do I have silver on my face", the young man yawned, glanced at the girl, and said

"Brother Stinky Fengxiao, I heard that only your wife can be carved by your jade, right", the girl blushed and asked shyly

"And my son, and my daughter, let you come up because you are my future daughter-in-law," said the young man as he grinned at the girl

"I don't like your little little guy anymore, and besides, I've grown up, not a little bit", the girl glared at the young man angrily and said loudly

"Shhhh

"What are you afraid of, there are ghosts, what is the little Yuan Shao, my father said, follow the ghosts, there is no danger anywhere", the girl looked at the young man with admiration on her face, and said with a smile

These two people are Guo Jia and Jia Jing from Chen Liu, the two of them arrived by jade carving last night, and directly made the security of the south gate of Yecheng panicked, and the slogan of the enemy attack was shouted for most of the night, which directly frightened Lao Yuan to get up in the middle of the night

"Your father didn't teach you anything, just taught you to brag", Guo Jia glanced at Jia Jing, and said angrily, how can he Guo Jia be a vulgar person who likes to boast words, but a little girl said this, he still likes it

"Of course my dad taught me a lot of things, but my mother said that my dad can't teach me what I feel (情qíng), my mother said, if you like it, you have to say it, good husbands are all snatched", Jia Jing winked at Guo Jia and said softly

"Poof", Guo Jia, who had just drunk a cup of tea, squirted out directly and hit Jia Jing directly, but he was surprised to find that the expression on Jia Jing's face had not changed at all

"Your mother is really a member of my generation, I must ask her for parenting tips in the future, don't let those little guys in my family become stupid", Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, reached out to help Jia Jing wipe the tea on his face, and said, "If you like me, then you really have to go back and ask your mother, does your mother think you should like uncle?"
