Chapter 860: Zhuge Liang's Calculation (Part II)

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Zhou Yu's persuasion. Zhou Yu hurriedly glanced at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also came to beg in person, but Zhuge Jin finally put loyalty first and promised to come down. Sun Ce was overjoyed, rewarded Zhuge Jin, and summoned Zhuge Jin to be in the house. Then he repaired a letter and ordered Zhuge Jin to go to Jingzhou.

Before the day, Zhuge Jin came to Jingzhou and first reported to Zhuge Liang. However, he said that Zhuge Liang first watched the stars day and night, and saw the bright stars in the south, and there would be a tragic war soon. Zhuge Liang, with his superb wisdom, calculated one by one, and made up his mind. On the same day, Zhuge Liang and Pan Feng were discussing matters, and Pan Feng learned that his brother had entered Jingzhou, his expression was condensed, and he asked Zhuge Liang suspiciously.

"Why is Brother Ling here?"

Zhuge Liang replied immediately without thinking.

"It must be to come to Sonam County."

Pan Feng was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly.

"Nanjun is an important place in Jingzhou, and it must not be lost. The military advisor must not agree to this! ”

"Second general, rest assured, the weight of Nanjun, how can Liang not know? Let's wait and see what happens, and Liang has his own strategy to deal with it. ”

Zhuge Liang was confident, as if everything was expected by him, so he taught Pan Feng to do so. Pan Feng secretly kept it in mind.

The plan has been decided, Zhuge Liang and Pan Feng went out of Guo to pick up Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang led his brother, did not go to the private house, and went straight to the hotel. After paying homage, Zhuge Jin did not ask for Nanjun, but suddenly cried loudly.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly reassured Zhuge Jin.

"My brother has something to do, but said. Why mourn? ”

Zhuge Jin burst into tears and screamed.

"The second brother doesn't know anything, the elder brother's family was captured by Wu Hou, and they are in danger!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, so he pretended to be angry and shouted.

"Wu Hou is like this, could it be that Liang doesn't return Nanjun? Because of his younger brother, he is elder and young, how can his brother be safe? Brother Hugh is worried, brother has his own plan to return Nanjun! ”

Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he wanted to thank his brother Zhuge Liang. At this moment, Pan Feng glared at the phoenix and roared angrily.

"No!! My brother is not in Jingzhou, and the matter is serious, so we should wait for my brother to come back and make a final decision. A military advisor is a minister, how can he make an idea alone! This is unreasonable!! ”

Zhuge Liang heard this, cried and worshiped on the ground, and begged Pan Feng.

"Wu Hou is under Liang's elder brothers, if he doesn't pay it back, my brother will kill his whole family. When my brother dies, how can Liang be alone? General Wang's second face was bright, and he returned Nanjun to Soochow, all of which were brothers' love! Shine on the lord of death to repay the lord!! ”

Pan Feng repeatedly refused, and Zhuge Liang just cried and begged. Zhuge Jin secretly looked in his eyes, and when he saw his brother crying so miserably, he couldn't bear it. Pan Feng's face was cold, and he shouted at Zhuge Liang who was kneeling on the ground.

"I formed a righteous alliance with my brother Taoyuan and vowed to support the Han family. Jingzhou is the territory of the Han Dynasty, how can it be vain to be with people? What's more, my brother is not here now, and without my brother's permission, whoever dares to give Jingzhou an inch of land, I will not spare him!! ”

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't stop crying and was overwhelmed with grief. Zhuge Jin hurriedly begged Pan Feng.

"Now that Wu Hou is under the leadership of Jin, if he does not go to Jingzhou, he will be punished. I hope the general has mercy on him! ”

Pan Feng sneered when he heard this, and shouted to Zhuge Jin.

"How can you hide Uncle Sun's tricks from me!"

Seeing that Pan Feng was so ruthless, Zhuge Jin shouted loudly.

"Liu Xuande was fortunate to have the help of my brother and got the land of Jingzhou. Now my brother is just asking for a southern county to save my family. The general is too faceless!? ”

Pan Fengfeng was stunned, took out the sword at his waist in an instant, and shouted angrily.

"Hugh has to say again! Otherwise, don't blame Pan for having no face on this sword!!! ”

Zhuge Liang was angry and came to stop him, and Sun Qian also persuaded.

"If the general wants to harm Zhuge Jin, the military division will not look good, and it will hurt the military division and the lord's public affection, I hope the general will calm his !!anger."

When Pan Feng heard this, he stopped his anger, squinted at Zhuge Jin, and said in a murderous and cold voice.

"Sun Bofu wants to take my Jingzhou Nanjun without blood, how can he hide it from the world if he is so cunning? If it weren't for the face of the military advisor today, you wouldn't be able to go back to Soochow!! ”

Zhuge Jin was full of shame, Zhuge Liang was in a dilemma, and he and Pan Feng were even more arguing. Pan Feng had a very hard attitude, and he didn't let go of the matter of exchanging Nanjun for Zhuge Jin's old and young. Zhuge Liang was so angry that he roared again and again, and finally became even more angry and fainted. The crowd was in a hurry and hurriedly called for a doctor to heal them. The meeting broke up unhappily, Zhuge Jin said goodbye and left, thinking that his brother Zhuge Liang, in order to take care of the feelings of his brothers and sisters, did not hesitate to turn against Pan Feng and tear his face. If Liu Bei learns about it one day, he is afraid that Zhuge Liang's future life will never be easy. And Zhuge Liang is a loyal person, and it was once said that he only has one master in his life. Zhuge Jin knew Zhuge Liang's temperament very well, and knew that Zhuge Liang would rather retreat to the mountains and forests, and it was impossible for him to switch to Sun Ce's command.

Zhuge Jin sighed while thinking. At night, Zhuge Liang came to find him, knelt on the ground and called him incompetent, unable to save his brothers, elders and children. Zhuge Jin is benevolent by nature, seeing Zhuge Liang like this, he can't be the enemy with a conscience, so he has the idea of retreating and said to Zhuge Liang.

"Second brother doesn't have to be like this. You and I are our own masters, and we can't help ourselves. Don't worry about the affairs of the elder brother's family, I have my own plan to solve the siege.

However, because of his brother's affairs, he turned against Pan Wushuang. Pan Wushuang is Liu Xuande's righteous brother, and Liu Xuande will be separated from his brother because of this matter in the future. My lord Wu Hou Sun Bofu is the lord of the world, dividing Jiangdong, and Heyang, Jiao Erzhou, Changsha, Guiyang, and the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't you turn to my lord, and my lord will treat him with the courtesy of a countryman! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was furious and shouted.

"For the sake of my brother, I'd rather tear my face with Pan Wushuang. Now my brother wants to trap Kong Ming in unkindness and injustice!! This matter must be mentioned again, otherwise Kong Mingding will break off the brotherhood with his brother!! ”

Zhuge Jin saw that Zhuge Liang was really angry, and hurriedly comforted him softly. After a while, Zhuge Liang's anger faded slightly, and he said to Zhuge Jin.

"Brother, stay a little longer. Brother Rong thought about it for a few days and came up with a complete solution. The troubles of the elder brother's family are all because of Kong Ming, and Kong Ming will never stand idly by. ”

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to stay in Jingzhou for the time being. At this time, Cao Cao gathered soldiers and horses at the boundary between Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and Jingzhou saw Cao's army fluttering with flags, soldiers covering the sky and the sun, grain wagons and equipment, and cars and water like dragons. Jingzhou was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly rushed back to Jingzhou to report to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang heard the reward, but he did not panic, so he asked the ministers of Jingzhou to discuss a good policy. At the same time, he sent people in the city to secretly spread the news about Cao Cao's southern expedition. When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked. Zhuge Liang said with a smile, his move has its own deep meaning, and there is no need to be suspicious.

After a while, Sun Qian attended and bowed his hand.

"I heard earlier that Cao Cao was gathering troops and horses at the boundary of Hanoi, and he had the intention of conquering the northwest. Now that he is gathering troops in the Xiangyang realm, could it be that Cao Cao wants to hold the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition at the same time? ! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled indifferently and said with a goose feather fan.

"Definitely. Cao Mengde has always been cautious, although he is good at tricks, but he is always steady. According to Liang's opinion, this is mostly Cao Mengde's suspicious strategy. He deliberately bluffed at the Hanoi demarcation line, which made us think that he was single-minded and relaxed. At this time, Cao Cao was mostly preparing for the southern expedition! ”

"How did the military advisor know?"

Sun Qian's face froze, and he asked suspiciously. Zhuge Liang exuded a convincing wisdom and said softly.

"The so-called three armies went first without moving grain and grass. According to the report of the spies, Cao Cao gathered heavy grain in Wanxian County for several days, and he must have a plan for Jingzhou. On the contrary, according to the previous report of the spies, Cao Cao was at the boundary of Hanoi, and he only saw the movement of troops, but did not see any grain and grass coming. Liang according to this, so it is expected. ”

Zhuge Liang's analysis suddenly convinced the ministers. Kuai Yue hurriedly attended.

"Cao Cao's momentum is big, and it is difficult to resist the enemy, so it is better to persuade Sun Ce of Eastern Wu to think that he should come to his aid, unite the strength of the two families, and resist Cao Cao together!"

After Kuai Yue finished speaking, Sun Qian's face changed and said.

"There are a lot of Jiangdong Junjie, there must be a far-sighted strategy, and Sun Ce has always been eyeing Jingzhou, and Anken sent troops to help. What's more, Sun Ce sent Zhuge Jin, the brother of the military division, to take Nanjun. If he didn't pay it back, Sun Ce would definitely hold a grudge. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Sun Ce will not only send troops to help, but will take advantage of the situation to seize Nanjun and Jiangxia County! ”

As soon as Sun Gan's words fell, everyone secretly turned their eyes to Pan Feng, and then turned to Zhuge Liang, with a strong look of worry in their eyes. Zhuge Liang looked at Pan Feng and smiled, and said to everyone.

"Don't worry about it. The things of the previous day, Liang and the second general, are really a show. Now Cao Cao wants to go south, and Liang Zheng has a reason to appease Sun Ce. ”

Zhuge Liang is very mysterious, as if he has already made up his mind. Kuai Yue hesitated for a while, but still spoke to persuade.

"The stakes are high. Why didn't the military advisor send a letter to ask Uncle Huang and then make a conclusion? ”

Zhuge Lianghao stared at the ground, pointed to the sword mark on the case, and said in a condensed voice.

"Before my lord entered Sichuan, he had already instructed that I could be in charge of all the affairs of Jingzhou. This sword mark is a gift from my Lord. Anyone who dissenters, behead!! ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, Pan Feng held his hand on the hilt of the sword, stared at the phoenix, and glared at everyone angrily. Seeing this, Kuai Yue didn't dare to say anything more. Zhuge Liang then said to everyone again, but wait for a few days, and the situation will be clear in a few days. All the ministers were suspicious and scattered.

However, it was said that Zhuge Jin had been in the hotel for several days, and he saw that the people in the city were panicked, and there were many movements in the city. Zhuge Jin had doubts in his heart, and secretly asked his brother Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Jin went to Zhuge Liang's mansion, Zhuge Liang frowned deeply, welcomed Zhuge Jin into the hall, and listened to Zhuge Jin's question, Zhuge Liang sighed and said.

"My brother doesn't know. Liang is thinking about the small things of his brother's family, and he knows that a few days ago, he made a detailed return. Cao Cao gathered troops and horses in Wan County and wanted to send troops to the south. Liang was ordered by the emperor's uncle to guard Jingzhou, and he didn't dare to make Jingzhou lose, so he neglected his brother's affairs, and hoped that his brother would not be strange. ”

When Zhuge Jin heard that Cao Cao was going to send troops south, his color suddenly changed, and he hurriedly knew.

"Brother does you know how much Cao Jun has?!"

Zhuge Liang was happy in his heart, but he still looked distressed on the surface and replied.

"According to the spies. There are more than 200,000 of them. However, Cao Cao seized the Central Plains, forcibly occupied half of the country, and was dominant, and it was rumored that there were nearly one million minions under his command. Liang is only afraid that these 200,000 soldiers and horses are just coming to visit my Jingzhou Fiction and Reality, and Cao Cao will definitely increase his troops slowly in the future, and he can stop taking all the land south of the Yangtze River! ”

Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked again.

"If that's the case, does my brother have a plan to resist the enemy?"

"I think I have few soldiers in Jingzhou, and there are strong enemies on my belly and back. If Cao Cao really waved his troops south, his younger brother would be unable to stop him even if he and Jingxiang's people fought to the death. What's more, Wu Hou is eyeing Nanjun and Jiangxia in Jiangdong. In order to guard against Wu Hou, I have to divide a lot of my soldiers and horses.

If Cao Cao really entered Jingzhou one day, he slowly gathered millions of troops, but he was afraid that the land south of the Yangtze River would fall into the hands of Cao Cao. Immediately, who in the world can stand in the way? In this way, even if the younger brother has great ability, how can he be driven by the times, and it is difficult to resist the momentum of Cao Thief! ”

Zhuge Liang pretended to be sad and disheartened. Zhuge Jin looked flustered, and was full of thoughts for a while, and suddenly a thought arose, and he said to Zhuge Liang in a hurry.

"My lord Sun Bofu, the tiger is in the south of the world, the soldiers are full of food, and they are extremely respectful of the virtuous and virtuous soldiers, and the heroes of the Jiangbiao are attached to it. And before, the two families of Sun and Liu formed an alliance, why don't you go to Dongwu and see my lord to plan a big thing together!? ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, but he pretended to hesitate and said.

"But in recent years, Wu Hou has a grudge against me in Jingzhou because of the incident in Nanjun. If I rush to Jiangdong, I am afraid that I will not be able to see Wu Hou. What's more, my brother and I once led troops to fight against Wu Hou, and many heroes in Jiangdong died in the war. This trip rushed to Jiangdong, if there is a case, my brother's life is not guaranteed! ”
