Chapter 864: Zhuge Liang Enters Jiangdong (II)
The people of Jingzhou all admired the virtue of the imperial uncle and hoped to be under his jurisdiction. Now I want to fight Cao Cao, not only the wish of my Jingzhou context, but also the wish of the people of Jingzhou. Just like the people of Jiangdong, they all respect Wu Hou and are fortunate to have his unity. If Jiangdong changes the master, it will really lose the hope of the people! ”
Lu Xun's bright starry eyes suddenly shot two rays of light, carefully recalling Zhuge Liang's words, unconsciously showing admiration, and thanked him.
"Mr. Xie gave advice. As Mr. said, the people's popularity is the way to rule the world! ”
Lu Xun said that he would return to his seat. Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Xun's figure, and admired in his heart, this Lu Boyan is young, but he has such knowledge, and he will become a great tool in the future!
Gu Yong, who was originally preparing to confront Zhuge Liang, heard the argument between the two, muttered the word "people's popularity" in his mouth, and unconsciously lost his mind.
The ministers of Jiangdong in the hall all secretly cast their eyes, and no one dared to speak out to make things difficult. At this moment, suddenly a person entered from outside and shouted loudly.
"Zhuge Kongming is a genius in the world, and the gentleman is difficult to talk to, not a courtesy. Now Cao Cao wants to invade Jingzhou, Jingzhou is adjacent to my Jiangdong, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold! If Cao Cao gets Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be in danger. At present, we should think of a strategy to break the enemy, not to intrigue here and make things difficult for each other!! ”
The crowd looks at him as a veteran, Han Dang. Han Dang is a veteran of Jiangdong, and he followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere and made countless achievements. In Koto, no one disrespects his face.
When everyone saw that it was Han Dang, their faces changed. Han Dang walked in and bowed to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang also returned to worship. Han Dang glared at the tiger and shouted in a condensed voice.
"If Kong Ming wants the two families to be good, why don't you take the theory of gold and stone as my lord and convince his heart. It is unwise to argue with the people and to argue with one another. ”
Zhuge Liang listened to this, and of course smiled.
The gentlemen asked each other difficult questions and sarcastically mocked Kong Ming, but Kong Ming was still bearable. But there are many people who mock my lord. As a minister, Kong Ming cannot afford to answer. ”
Han Dang snorted coldly, then glared at everyone, and after confessing to Zhuge Liang, he led Zhuge Liang into the main hall. When he arrived at the middle gate, he met Zhuge Jin and Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and his eyes looked at each other secretly, and then they walked away.
Shaoqing, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu walked side by side, Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, smiling and bowing. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's faces were not good-looking, they deliberately did not come out just now, Zhuge Liang's remarks, they heard them clearly. Sun Ce saw that none of the ministers in Jiangdong could take advantage of Zhuge Liang's mouth, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted with Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu was also more jealous of Zhuge Liang and had a stronger intention to kill.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but they pretended to be enthusiastic, lowered their ranks to greet each other, and treated each other with courtesy. After Shi Li, Sun Ceci sat in Zhuge Liang. The civil and military forces stood in two lines. Lu Su stood on Kong Ming's side and only watched him speak. Zhuge Liang then said the meaning of the alliance between the two families, and at the same time secretly looked at Sun Ce, thinking secretly in his heart.
"Sun Bofu is arrogant and arrogant, and he often compares himself with Xiang Ji, this kind of person can only be excited, not said. In this way, you will get twice the result with half the effort! ”
After the tea was finished, Sun Ce smiled, didn't answer the matter of the union first, and looked down at Zhuge Liang condescendingly and said.
"Haha! In the past, Ben Hou and Kong Ming fought in Jingzhou. Kong Ming's strategy is profound, which can make Ben Hou suffer a lot, and then the Sun and Liu families are good. However, in recent years, the imperial court has appointed me as the governor of Jiangdong as the Taishou of Nanjun, and it is reasonable that Kong Ming should hand over Nanjun to my Jiangdong. Kong Ming repeatedly excused himself and excused himself, so that the relationship between the two families was bad, and now he saw that the situation was not good, so he asked me Jiangdong for help. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!? ”
Zhuge Liang knew that Sun Ce would be embarrassed by him, so he had already replied in his heart, and replied quickly.
"The handover matters are extremely complicated, and my lord benefited from Liu Jiyu's begging, went to Xichuan, and the handover of Nanjun is a big matter, and those who are bright are ministers, and they really dare not make decisions without permission. I also hope that Wu Hou is not strange! ”
"Oh? In your words, if Uncle Liu Huang doesn't return to Jingzhou for a day, this southern county can't be returned to me for a day!? ”
Sun Ceba's eyes froze, and he pressed towards Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang smiled and replied without panic.
"Since it is the order of the imperial court, how dare Liang shirk. How much more would my lord, who is a man of truth, take possession of another man's land? Liang had already sent a document to inform my lord of this. Wu Hou doesn't have to worry too much. ”
When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled coldly, and then changed his words and said.
"Kong Ming can know that Cao Cao has recently sent an envoy here, promising that if I ally with him, I will break Jingzhou together. After the matter is completed, it will be divided into two counties of Nanjun and Jiangxia to me?
Cao Cao is powerful, and if I unite with Dongwu, Jingzhou will undoubtedly be defeated. My Dongwu has obtained the two counties of Nanjun and Jiangxia, which can be described as nine out of ten.
But if I unite with you to fight against Cao Cao, I don't care if I win or lose. In this battle, our Eastern Wu will definitely lose a huge amount of food and heavy troops, but when the matter is completed, it will only have to belong to the southern county of my Jiangdong. Kong Ming is a wise person, why don't you teach me how to choose!? Sun Ce had a playful smile on his face, staring at Zhuge Liang, as if he was looking forward to looking forward to Zhuge Liang. But Zhuge Liang's reaction was unexpected by Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang did not answer immediately, but asked Sun Ce.
"Does Marquis Wu know how many troops Cao Cao has?"
When Sun Ce heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he had also heard about Cao Cao's possession of a million soldiers, so he immediately muttered silently.
Zhuge Liang asked himself.
"There are millions of people in the horse army. When Cao Cao was in Yanzhou, there were already 200,000 Qingzhou troops, and after Yuan Shao, he got another 340,000; The Central Plains recruited three or four hundred thousand new soldiers. Cao Cao gathered millions of people, the most powerful in the world, and resourceful people, who can recruit generals who are accustomed to war, not to mention one or two thousand. In addition to the Cao clan in the Central Plains, the existing forces in the world are the Wen clan in the northwest, the Sun clan in Jiangdong, the Liu clan in Yizhou, and Jingzhou, which is guarded by our lord. If Cao Cao breaks it, within ten years, the world will fall into Cao Cao's hands.
If you want to fight Cao Cao, you can only fight against him if multiple forces join forces. At that time, Wen Bufan was raising troops to invade Liu Jiyu in Yizhou, and the two families were fighting, and Cao Cao was trying to take advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou first. Jingzhou loses, whether it goes north or south, with its soldiers and horses, it is a sure victory! At that time, there will be only one left, and it will be difficult to scream alone, and there will be no way out except to surrender and protect yourself!
Lu Su was beside him, and when he heard the words, he looked at Zhuge Liang with his eyes, signaling him not to provoke Sun Ce. Zhuge Liang turned a blind eye, Sun Ce's face changed continuously, and his domineering eyes turned evil, like an angry tiger about to go berserk. At this moment, Zhou Yu hurriedly spoke.
"Kong Ming's words are wrong, if I get the southern county of Dongwu, the land of Jiangxia, plus the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, and the land of Jingzhou near the river, all belong to my Dongwu. Even if I can deploy troops in the four counties, I can attack and retreat. With the hero of our lord and the danger of Eastern Wu, Cao Cao may not be able to achieve his ambition! ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Zhou Yu frowned, and was about to ask. Zhuge Liang scrambled to be the first.
"Cao Cao's heroic plan is rough, how can Gong Jin not know!? Even if Jiangdong has the four counties of Jingzhou and Linjiang, the number of soldiers and horses is only more than 300,000. Cao Cao treated him with millions of heroes, not to mention that Wu Hou and Gongjin were heroes in the world, and they were not afraid of being strong. But if the soldiers see it, they are afraid that they will be ready before the battle! In addition, although Wu Hou has the courage of the family, but Cao Cao also has peerless generals such as Dian Evillai and Xu Zhongkang, Cao Zixiao, Zhang Junyi, and Xiahou Brothers are all brave and strategic generals, and they are strategists who give advice, such as 'ghost talent' Guo Fengxiao, 'poisoner' Jia Wenhe and others, all of whom have outstanding talents. If Wu Hou really wants to resist Cao Cao, in Liang's humble opinion, he is afraid that the chance of victory is less than 30%!! Wu Hou is in a hurry, and the disaster is in full swing! ””
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face turned cold, and he didn't answer for the time being. At this time, Xue Zong was angry and deliberately provoked Zhuge Liang to shout.
"So it is. Why don't my lord vote for Cao Cao as soon as possible, and he can also get the position of a prince, and the ministers of Jiangdong can also keep his family safe! ”
Lu Su's face was stunned, and he hurriedly retorted with Xue Zong.
"Your words are bad! Jiangdong Foundation has been passed on for two generations, how can it be abandoned by others once it is abandoned? This is a great fallacy! Say no more! “
Xue Zong was about to open his mouth, but suddenly Sun Ceba's eyes burst out with two cold lights, he had already secretly learned that Xue Zong had had a lot of contact with Cao Cao in recent years and received a lot of gold silk. This time Liu Ye entered Jiangdong, and Liu Ye repeatedly entered and exited Xue Zong's mansion. At this time, Xue Zong ignored his previous words that he could not mention Cao Cao, and he confirmed that this Xue Zong had secretly voted for Cao Cao.
Xue Zong didn't know that he was about to come to a catastrophe, and argued with Lu Su, but Zhuge Liang sneered on the side. Zhou Yu looked at it clearly, his face turned cold, and he asked coldly.
"Why is Kong Ming laughing?"
As soon as Zhou Yu spoke, Xue Zong and Lu Su suddenly stopped arguing and looked away. Zhuge Liang bowed respectfully, and then said.
"Liang doesn't laugh at others, he just laughs at his son, but he doesn't know the times."
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words came out, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, Lu Su's face was full of urgency, I don't know why this Zhuge Liang suddenly turned against him, but came to deal with himself, and asked sharply.
"Kong Ming actually wants the Sun and Liu families to form an alliance, how can he laugh at me for not knowing current affairs?"
Zhuge Liang silently gave Sun Ce a lot, and then turned to Xue Zong and said with a smile.
"In my fool's opinion, Xue Jingwen's idea is very reasonable."
When Xue Zong heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, but he didn't realize that his lord Sun Ce's face was so dark that he was about to drip at this time, and his domineering eyes were even more murderous. I only heard Xue Zong say with a smile.
"Hahaha! Zhuge Kongming is worthy of being a person who understands the times, and he will have the same heart with me. In my opinion, if the Sun and Liu families are under the command of Cao Gong, within three years, the world will be peaceful! This is really a blessing for the people of the world! ”
When Lu Su heard this, his face trembled with anger, and he hurriedly shouted to Zhuge Liang.
"Kong Ming, you are a loyal and righteous person, how can you also say such a rebellious remark!?"
Zhuge Liang secretly used his afterglow to keep a lot of Sun Ce, and when he saw that Sun Ce was angry and was about to have a seizure, he was overjoyed in his heart, and replied to Lu Su.
As Xue Jingwen said, Cao Cao is the best in the world. There is no one in the world who can stop it. Uncle Liu Huang is the only one who doesn't know the current affairs, and has repeatedly taught Kong Ming, although the thief is powerful, he can't bear it. Kong Ming is a minister, how dare he disobey my lord's will, so he has to compete with Cao Thief. Today, Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies, and Cao thief is about to attack by force, and his survival is not guaranteed. If Cao Cao wins Jingzhou, the evil situation will rise again, covering the sky with one hand, and Xue Jingwen will decide to surrender Cao, which can be described as a rainy day, he can protect his wife, and he can be rich and noble. The relocation of the country and the destiny of heaven, what a pity! Wu Hou should obey it. ”
