It's just that it's not too late to make amends. Since non-alignment over there is a certainty. The heart of the alliance here is also dead, so start thinking about countermeasures! In terms of soldiers, Jiangdong is not short of itself, and the Yangtze River moat can also give Sun Quan some confidence. The Jiangdong Navy is also much, much stronger than the Jingzhou Navy that was temporarily absorbed. As for the million-strong male division brought by Cao Cao. Several people have already analyzed that at most three or four hundred thousand are soldiers brought down from the north, and the rest are Minfu or Jingzhou soldiers. Combat effectiveness should be calculated in this way. Jiangdong can carry it alone, and he can carry it by gritting his teeth and stomping his feet.

However, the key is that Jiangdong must do his best to carry Cao Cao alone. What if Changsha was making trouble behind the scenes? The blame is here; logically speaking, the Wuling side of Changsha was the route for Cao Cao to attack the south, but they were not in a hurry at all, and they didn't want to hug their big legs to ask for an alliance, but they went to the door to form an alliance and were blocked back by the other party. Isn't it time for Changsha to ask for an alliance?

Discussions came and went, and Changsha became the focus of the topic again. If they don't align, there is a high chance that they will become black hands. Just as Kou Yan doubted Liu Bei's character, Sun Quan is now very suspicious of Kou Yan's character, comparing his heart to his heart, and replacing it with his position of Kou Yan, since he chose not to align, he must be taking advantage of the fisherman.

"I really didn't expect them to choose not to align, it's like a nail in my heart, I always feel uncomfortable being stared at!" Sun Quan said irritably. The people on the side were silent, and Zhou Yu didn't even raise his eyelids. Seeing that no one responded, Sun Quan also realized that his complaint was a bit redundant, and no one could help, after all, no one was a psychiatrist, and no one was a surgeon.

So, an internal meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere, after the meeting, Sun Quan originally wanted to leave Zhou Yu to talk for a while, to discuss the specific transfer of troops, but later found that the other party was always a zombie face, opened his mouth and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, forget it, or find another opportunity to invite him to come over to the house to discuss, and discuss it with a good heart! In fact, to be honest, Zhou Yu may assist Sun Shao, and Sun Quan himself came up with it out of thin air, and Zhou Yu has never expressed or expressed it!

Therefore, Sun Quan temporarily changed his mind and left Zhang Wen instead, asking him about other things in Changsha. Let's study again, why Changsha is not aligned and some important indicators of Changsha now. Who knew that the result turned out another important piece of information, that is, Jiangxia also intended to form an alliance with Changsha, but was also rejected by Changsha.

Although Sun Quan never took Liu Bei in his eyes, or the entire upper echelons of Eastern Wu did not take Liu Bei in his eyes. But now it's different, losing Changsha as an ally. At present, Liu Bei, who owns Jiangxia, has become important. The key is that Jiangxia is a place that is more attractive to Sun Quan.

All the people in Jiangdong are uncomfortable in their hearts, let's not talk about him for the time being, and then look at Jiangxia's side. After Zhang Fei saw Zhang Wen, he didn't stay in Changsha anymore, and rushed back to Jiangxia directly, bringing the news that Jiangdong wanted to form an alliance with Changsha.

After Liu Bei got the news, he was envious, jealous and hateful. He wants to find allies, but no one looks down on him. And what about his daughter? Someone else came to the door to ask for an alliance, and she turned her face. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was profitable, so he hurriedly called Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others to discuss.

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard that Changsha refused to form an alliance with Jiangdong, and he did not think that this was the decision of Xu Shu and Changsha's think tank. It seems like Kou Yan's decision alone. But Zhang Fei said that the junior sister was not in Changsha at all, and it was Jiang Wan who was in charge. He didn't know that Zhang Fei had concealed a series of negative comments about Kou Yan by Zhang.

Liu Beicai didn't care what Kou Yan's purpose was not to ally with Changsha, he hated that Kou Yan would play Changsha to the people's misery, and the people complained and then he went to take over. However, every time people make an unusual move, the common people are very supportive, and the people of Changsha are now in a state of mind! They may think that Cao Cao is nothing remarkable, just like fighting Dongwu, he can fight back casually.

This daughter's train of thought can't be guessed, guessing that she can only make herself more panicked. Liu Bei decided not to think about her for the time being, and asked Zhuge Liang instead: "Kong Ming thinks that if I propose an alliance with Lord Wu at this time, what will happen?"

"The alliance is decided, and for Jiangdong, the current situation is that one more ally means one less enemy. Zhuge Liang fiddled with the fan and said in a low voice. He was still wondering why Changsha would resolutely not ally with Soochow, and how Xu Shu would agree. But even if he thinks about something, the lord's questions must be answered as soon as possible.

"However, only if we form an alliance with him, what are the odds?" Liu Bei asked cautiously. If Kou Yan is here, he will occasionally complain about being greedy for life, afraid of death, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. But Liu Bei really can't be careless, after all, there is really no one around him now, even if he temporarily owns Jiangxia, he doesn't think about governing it, after all, Jiangxia's territory is also an embarrassment with a capital letter.

First of all, the geographical location is embarrassing, Jiangdong has always been eyeing Jiangxia, and he wants to swallow it quickly. If you occupy this territory, it means that at least once a year, you will have to fight with Soochow. With the war going on all year round, where is it possible to develop any economy?

Secondly, the people of Jiangxia suffered from Huang Zu's rampant conquest and extortion, and one or two hated the rulers who were reckless. But how could Liu Bei, who only wanted to use Jiangxia as a springboard, be willing to spend great efforts to control it? Jiangxia's Baixin fought against Jiangdong for many years, and the guide zhì withered, and the population ratio was very uncoordinated, and Liu Bei couldn't look down on it at all. Moreover, now the hearts of the people of Jiangxia are towards Changsha, which makes him even more angry.

In a word, Liu Bei didn't consider living in Jiangxia for a long time at all. And forming an alliance with Jiangdong to steal Jingzhou is the real desire in his heart. Therefore, he is the one who is most eager to form an alliance with Jiangdong. After all, the strategy that Zhuge Liang set for him when he came out of the mountain was to divide the world into three parts, and an alliance with Jiangdong was the most basic step.

But there is another side to the matter, if the result of the alliance with Jiangdong is still a failure, and Jingzhou still falls into the hands of Cao Cao, then he is also unwilling. After all, everyone spares their lives, and he who has already escaped from Cao Cao's hands once, he can't imagine what it will be like for him to fall into Cao Cao's hands again, will he die? Will he be placed under house arrest? Cao Cao is not a lot of soft-hearted people!

"Rest assured, once we form an alliance with Jiangdong, it means that Pang Shiyuan and I will join forces. In addition, Jiangdong can send no less than 300,000 soldiers, and Cao Thief's real military strength is only about 450,000, our chances of victory are still very high, and our subordinates think it is worth a try!" Zhuge Liang said firmly.

To be honest, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are completely consistent in some positions. Because he was young, because he had just come out of the mountain, because he was eager to prove his abilities as much as he could.

The young and vigorous Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhong Leyi, and his heart is even higher than that of Zhou Yu, who has already been stepped on by Xu Shu, and the humiliation and escape is for the sake of accumulation, and this battle with Cao Cao is the best opportunity, and it is also the best opportunity that is unique. If he misses it, Liu Bei will be devastated and he will be unknown forever.

Liu Bei has ambitions, and so does Zhuge Liang. Therefore, at this time, of course, he had to speak out in support of the lord and dispel his doubts. Therefore, without waiting for Liu Bei to nod, he recommended himself: "My subordinates are willing to go to Jiangdong in person, meet Lord Wu, and discuss with the governor of Jiangdong how to break the enemy!"

"Hey...... I really ...... in my heart after working hard to run this trip Liu Bei's expression was sincere, and he stretched out his hand to put his hand on Zhuge Liang's arm: "As soon as I leave it to the military advisor, I will be entrusted to the military advisor with full authority! I am waiting for the good news of the military advisor in Jiangxia!"

"No! subordinates should do their best, and they will definitely live up to Ming Gong's expectations!" Zhuge Liang bowed solemnly and made a big salute to Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly bent over and helped him up: "I don't know when the military advisor plans to leave?"

"Without further ado, my subordinates will leave immediately tomorrow and go to Wu County. Zhuge Liang made up his mind.

"In that case, I let Zilong accompany you to protect your safety. Liu Bei groaned.

Originally, he wanted to say that he would let the second brother accompany you, but after thinking about it, he sighed again. The second brother Guan Yu's temperament is too strong, decisive and decisive, and this kind of temperament is not suitable for being a negotiation assistant at all. And the third brother Zhang Fei is a reckless man, and it is not suitable, leaving aside the two most loyal, the rest of the people are only Zhao Yun.

At this time, Liu Bei began to grit his teeth and hate Kou Feng and Kou Yan, it was these two white-eyed wolves, they must have killed Chen Zhi, these two ungrateful little brutes, and when Lao Tzu took Jingzhou, he waved his army south in minutes and destroyed you! It was so hateful! I even made the same mistake that Cao Cao made back then! I knew that today, I should have killed that kid with a knife!
