According to Lu Su's initiative, Sun Jian decided to lend Liu Bei's soldiers and horses after thinking twice.

Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others have no 'selfishness' and 'friendship', and he only considers the interests of Jiangdong. Liu Bei, a great man, Zhang Fei under his command has the courage of ten thousand people, Zhuge Liang has unpredictable strategies, and now Cao 'Cao's soldiers are pressing, if you can't make good use of these forces, it is really a pity, and it is a lot of chances of winning in vain.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu had a very good relationship, so although Zhou Yu was not enthusiastic about lending Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, he did not object when he saw that it was Lu Su's proposal. And Sun Jian also trusted Lu Su a lot, and seeing that Zhou Yu did not object, he agreed to his request.

However, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to borrow 20,000 soldiers, and the final result of the discussion between Lu Su and Sun Jian was to allocate 10,000 soldiers with him, which shows that both Lu Su and Sun Jian have always been a little wary of Liu Bei.

In addition to transferring the soldiers and horses to Liu Bei's command, Sun Jian also appointed Zhu Ran as Liu Bei's deputy general, saying that he was to be Liu Bei's helper, but everyone knew that he was there to monitor Liu Bei's movements.

Originally, he expected the number of soldiers and horses to be reduced by half, not to mention, and was appointed to supervise the army, of course Liu Bei could not be happy in his heart. But on the surface, he had to make a happy look, and in front of Zhu Ran, he promised that he would definitely try his best to resist Cao Jun and die for King Wu.

----------------------------------------------------------------

In the palace of King Wu, above the main hall, King Sun Jian of Wu was gathering his ministers to discuss the matter of resisting Cao.

"According to the report of Tanmalai, although Cao's army is numerous, its marching speed is extremely fast, and 50,000 vanguard troops have been stationed at Sanjiangkou a few days ago, and the follow-up army will probably arrive within a few days." Zhou Yu, the governor of the Wu army, was holding a military information at this time, explaining the current situation to the civil and military forces.

Everyone in the hall listened to Zhou Yu's words, and their faces were different.

The strategist Yu turned the first to come out and said to Sun Jian: "Today, Cao's '' is strong, and Jiangdong's strength is weak, the lord can't hold a momentary mood and fight, and the army will be defeated and the city will be broken, and it will be too late to regret it." The king sent an envoy to Cao Ying to seek peace, and the only way to turn the war into a 'jade' silk was the best policy. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian smiled coldly and said, "Zhong Xiang thinks that I can't beat Cao's ''?" ”

Yu Fu hurriedly replied: "Today, Cao's army is 250,000, and our army is only 150,000, just in terms of quantity, it has the upper hand. ”

"In the matter of conquest, the number of soldiers is only an element that affects victory or defeat, and there have been many battles in which the outnumbered have been defeated since ancient times." Sun Jian's face was not pale, and he said coldly, "What's more, the soldiers under the command of Cao 'Cao' are all people from the north, not good at water warfare, on the big river, boats, this is not the director of Cao Thief and his generals, even if the number of our army is slightly inferior, it can be defeated!" ”

"Otherwise, although Cao's 'Cao's army is a northerner, it has been planning for a long time to attack Wu, and its preparation is not sufficient. After Cao 'Cao' captured Jingzhou, he accepted the Jingzhou Naval Army, and in recent years, Cai Mao commanded the 'Cao' training Naval Army, although its water combat ability is not as good as our Wu Army, but the difference is not far away. What's more, Cao's 'Cao' occupies seven out of ten places in the world, and his follow-up power is abundant. In this battle, Cao 'Cao' brought 250,000 troops, but he was stationed in various places, and there were at least more than 200,000 unmoved troops, even if our army won this battle, his 250,000 whole army was wiped out, but Cao 'Cao' recuperated, recruited troops and horses, and in a few years, he could pull out an army of hundreds of thousands to invade the south. However, our army of 150,000 has already gathered most of the horses in Jing, Wu and other places, and once defeated, there will be no extra troops to face Cao's 'Cao' troops. Therefore, I implore King Wu to think twice before acting, and must not be brave for a while, resulting in a situation from which there will be no return. Yu translated his words earnestly and said a long speech.

Sun Jian was very dissatisfied at this time, Cao 'Cao' raised troops to invade, he was ready to give the other party a head-on blow, but Yu Fan's words were undoubtedly carrying a bucket of cold water and pouring it on the top of his head, which made Sun Jian how could he bear it.

Sun Quan in history had some hesitation before the Battle of Chibi, but Sun Jian's 'temperament' was stubborn, how could he be a person who swallowed his anger. For Sun Jian, even if he is defeated and dies vigorously, it is far better than surrendering without a fight. Yu Xuan's remarks made him quite unhappy, and even had a trace of anger, but Sun Jian did not 'show' this trace of anger on his face, so no one noticed it.

Of course, some old ministers who are familiar with Sun Jian can probably guess that Sun Jian is extremely unhappy in his heart.

"Mr. Zhong Xiang's words are wrong." At this time, it was not the old ministers of Jiangdong who spoke, but Zhuge Liang, who belonged to Liu Bei, "Cao 'Cao' went from afar, raised swords and soldiers in vain, lost the righteousness, and did not occupy the time of heaven; in the land of Jiangdong, there is a moat of the Yangtze River, and it does not occupy any profits; the people of Jiangdong are all subdued to the king of Wu, and do not want to be ruled by Cao 'Cao', and he does not occupy people." The time, the place, the people, Cao '' has nothing, why should we be afraid? ”

Although Zhuge Liang was unwilling to serve Sun Jian, he must instigate Sun Jian and Cao 'Cao' to go to war, otherwise how could Liu Bei have the opportunity to take advantage of the 'chaos' to expand his strength?

"Kong Ming's words are all false." Cheng Bing, Sun Jian's advisor, opened his mouth and said, "The time, the place, and the people are really empty talk, Cao '' Yuan Shao, according to the three?" Cutting Jingzhou, according to the three? Attacking the state, according to the three? But where are Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang now? Kong Ming used these three as a basis to persuade Wu Wang to resist Cao's '', which was really a mistake for my master! ”
