Jiangdong, Jianye.

Sun Quan heard that Liu Cong surrendered without a fight, Cao Cao occupied Xiangyang and Jiangling, and Liu Bei was defeated and retreated to Jiangxia. He sent Lu Su to come, ostensibly to mourn Liu Biao's death, but in fact, to see Liu Bei's military situation and Cao Cao's military situation, and at the same time to explore whether he could unite with Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao.

Lu Su went to Jiangxia, and when it came to Cao Cao's military situation, Cao Cao did not hide the heavy deployment of troops by waterway, but he did not disclose how many troops there were. As for Liu Bei, in fact, he has nothing to check, Liu Bei only has Jiangxia County plus more than 20,000 soldiers.

Lu Su asked Liu Bei: "Cao's army has been heavily mobilized by water, and it will attack Jiangxia again in the near future, how does Liu Zhijun want to resist the enemy?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said: "Make the king want to abandon Jiangxia and go to Cangwu Taishou." ”

Lu Su shook his head and said: "Cangwu is too guarded with food and few soldiers, and he can't protect himself, so how can he allow Liu Yuanjun and others to accommodate themselves?" ”

After a pause, Lu Su continued: "My lord Wu Hou, the tiger is based in Jiangdong, the soldiers are good enough to eat, and the corporal is virtuous, why don't Liu Yuanjun send his henchmen and Su to Jiangdong to plan for great things?" ”

What was waiting was for Lu Su to take the initiative to say this.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other and said, "In this way, I will send the military advisor Kong Ming to Jiangdong to meet Wu Hou." ”

Immediately, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su said goodbye to Liu Bei, took a boat down the river, and went to Jiangdong Jianye.

At the same time that Zhuge Liang accompanied Lu Su to Jiangdong, Cao Cao's forced landing handbook also reached Sun Quan.

After Sun Quan read it, he ruthlessly threw Cao Cao's forced landing handbook on the ground.

"Cao Cao claims to have gathered millions of troops, and he will go down the river in a few days, step on Jiangxia, and force me to surrender, if I don't surrender, I will also sweep my Jiangdong, what do you think I should do?" Sun Quan asked the crowd about civil and martial arts.

"Millions of soldiers?" The crowd was frightened and fearful.

You must know that the population of the entire nine counties in Jiangdong is only three million, and Cao Cao's army is one million, how can it be defeated?

In the land of Jiangdong, it could have relied on the Yangtze River moat to the north to resist Cao Cao, but Jingzhou was lost, and the Yangtze River moat was no longer available, and Cao Jun was completely able to go down the river and go straight to Jianye, and there was no hope of resisting Cao Jun.

The generals were not there, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were not there, and everyone present was a Confucian civil official in Jiangdong, and when they heard that Cao Jun's millions of soldiers were coming, it was so powerful that the Yangtze River moat could not be relied on, so they only felt that there was no possibility of victory at all.

As a result, everyone present exhorted to surrender to Cao Cao, in order to protect Jiangdong from being ruined by the war.

Sun Quan was extremely disappointed, in the eyes of outsiders, Sun Quan relied on his father and brother Sun Jian and Sun Ce to sit in Jiangdong, but in fact, Sun Quan was not bad, he was also very smart. He knows very well that in the entire Jiangdong, everyone can surrender, but only his grandson cannot descend, and Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai will end. Therefore, Sun Quan was unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao in his heart no matter what, and he preferred to resist Cao Cao and keep Jiangdong.

Sun Quan found an excuse to leave, and did not respond to the civil officials present for the time being.

At the same time, Sun Quan sent people to summon Zhou Yu and even Poyang County and Lu Meng, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other people who were guarding the other four directions to return quickly.

Hearing that Lu Su returned from Jiangxia with Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan summoned Lu Su overnight and negotiated with Lu Su in the middle of the night, Sun Quan was more determined to resist Cao Cao's will, of course, he also needed to find ways to persuade Jiangdong to surrender to the civil officials and Confucians, only by uniting and uniting together, can the resistance to Cao have a greater chance of victory, and this is only when the generals and Zhou Yu return.

The next day, because Zhou Yu and others had not yet returned, Sun Quan did not immediately summon Zhuge Liang, but only asked Lu Su to bring Zhuge Liang to the Wenguan, together with the civil officials and Confucians who descended to Cao yesterday, and only waited for Zhou Yu and the generals to return to Jianye, and then summoned them together.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang and the Jiangdong civil officials were clearly distinguished, and they did not interfere with each other. Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan slowly, closed his eyes and recuperated. And the civil officials and Confucians in Jiangdong continue yesterday's business discussions, how do you persuade Sun Quan to surrender to Cao to protect Jiangdong from being ruined.

Zhuge Liang listened to it extremely shamelessly, snorted lightly, and did not hide his disdain. balance

Everyone looked sideways at Zhuge Liang.

You must know that the youngest person present is almost forty years old, and Zhuge Liang is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, which is very young for everyone present, but Zhuge Liang Bo Wangpo, Xinye two burned Cao Jun, plus Zhuge Liang once compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and his reputation was prominent.

didn't want to pay attention to Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang snorted disdainfully, but it ignited everyone's anger against him.

Immediately, led by the great Confucian Zhang Zhao, the great Confucian ministers of Jiangdong began to attack Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Liang is a group of Confucians.

Zhuge Liang's comprehensive talent is absolutely invincible in the world, he is not only a military strategist, a politician, but also a diplomat, with amazing strategies, and Su Qin, Zhang Yi's general eloquence, in terms of eloquence, Zhou Yu is not Zhuge Liang's opponent, the Confucianism present is far worse than Zhou Yu, and naturally it is not Zhuge Liang's opponent.

After a battle of words, Zhuge Liang said angrily but dumbly.

This news reached Sun Quan's ears, Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised, originally he was going to wait for the generals to return with Zhou Yu, and then persuade the Wenchen Confucian, but Zhuge Liang gave him a huge surprise, arguing that the Wenchen Confucianism seemed to be disloyal and unrighteous if he surrendered to Cao again, he would be a shameless villain who was disloyal and unjust, and had no faith and no king.

At this time, Huang Gai and other generals returned, but before Zhou Yu arrived, Sun Quan summoned Zhuge Liang first.

There are Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and Huang Gai and other generals, and all the civil officials and Confucians in Jiangdong dare not say much about the surrender of Cao.

However, the civil officials and Confucian officials in Jiangdong did not give up advocating the surrender of Cao, they were ready to wait for Zhou Yu's return, and ask Zhou Yu for help, with Zhou Yu's prestige in Jiangdong, if they could persuade Zhou Yu to advocate the surrender of Cao with them, then the matter of surrendering Cao would be settled, otherwise the matter of the main battle would be settled.

That night, Zhou Yu returned.

was supposed to let Zhou Yu, who was in the dust, rest for the night, but whether it was the Jiangdong civil officials and Confucians, or Huang Gai and other Jiangdong generals, they couldn't wait, and came to see Zhou Yu overnight.

Zhou Yu had just entered the mansion, and within a moment of getting together with his wife Xiao Qiao, who was in love with the couple, all the civil officials and Confucians arrived first.

The civil officials wanted to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender with them, but Zhou Yu did not reply immediately, and only appeased the civil officials and Confucianism to go back first.

Subsequently, Huang Gai and other generals also came, trying to persuade Zhou Yu to fight with them, but Zhou Yu also did not give an immediate reply, and only appeased Huang Gai and other generals to go back first.

After all the civil officials and generals left, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were temporarily cleaned.

Xiao Qiao is not only beautiful, but also smart and stylish, she shook her head: "Although the concubine is a woman, she also knows that my lord is the third emperor of Jiangdong, and the people's hearts are attached, and there is a big river in the north, a vast land in the south, a virtuous monarch and a famous general, how can she surrender to Cao Cao's Han thieves without a fight?" There is still a chance of victory in the war, but there is no doubt that you will lose. ”

"Madame is very right." Zhou Yu's eyes are tender and sweet, and he has a deep love for Xiao Qiao and his wife, not only because of Xiao Qiao's gentle and beautiful appearance, but also because Xiao Qiao's intelligence and style always have the same will as him.

He smiled and said to Xiao Qiao: "Tonight was supposed to be the time when my husband and wife were separated for several months, but they were not peaceful, but at this moment they have all been appeased by me, and no one will disturb our husband and wife." ”

After that, he wanted to hug Xiao Qiao back to the inner room.

Xiao Qiao shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "Not necessarily." ”

As soon as the words fell, another attendant came, and Lu Su came with Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly at Xiao Qiao, so he had to leave Xiao Qiao for the time being, and went to see Lu Su and Zhuge Liang again.
