After Sun Quan's conversation with Lu Su, Sun Quan decided to summon Zhuge Liang tomorrow.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was recommended to Sun Quan by Lu Su.

Sun Quan didn't know Zhuge Liang before. It was used by Liu Bei. Sun Quan knew about this "Mr. Wolong".

According to "Romance", the next day is the day when Sun Quan decides to see Zhuge Liang.

Sun Quan has not yet come. Zhuge Liang had already arrived first.

In the face of the magnates of Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang fought against the Confucians, and refuted the civil officials who advocated surrender.

Among the Eastern Wu magnates who were refuted by Zhuge Liang, there were Zhang Zhao, Yu Tuo, Bu Qi, Xue Zong, Lu Ji, Yan Ji, Cheng Bing, etc.

The author will not describe them all here.

At this moment, Huang Gai, the general of Eastern Wu, suddenly broke in. said loudly to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. is a genius in the world, why don't you talk to the lord directly?" ”

So Zhuge Liang went with Huang Gai and Lu Su to see Sun Quan.

So, Sun Quan met Zhuge Liang.

After Zhuge Liang met Sun Quan.

The opening line goes something like this:

In the turmoil at home, the general raised troops to occupy Jiangdong, and Liu Yuzhou also collected Hannan and fought for the world with Cao Cao.

What does this mean?

Since the great chaos in the world, the general was based on Jiangdong and Cao, and Liu Yuzhou gathered soldiers and horses south of the Han River to compete with Cao Cao for the world.

This opening remark briefly explains the current situation in the world and the future trend.

Not to mention the forces that have perished. Instead, it is said that Sun, Liu and Cao Cao went to the world together.

Very brief, a good opening statement.

This opening statement put Sun and Liu in one camp.

And Liu Bei's situation. Zhuge Liang described it this way:

The hero had no use of force, so Yuzhou fled here.

Zhuge Liang said such a sentence to Sun Quan very lightly.

Why is it difficult for heroes to act, and Liu Yuzhou fled here? Just because, now Cao Cao has pacified the heroes, pacified the north, and conquered Jingzhou, which is famous all over the world.

This sentence analyzes Liu Bei's situation and Cao Cao's strength.

Next, Zhuge Liang is anti-guest-oriented. began to plan for Sun Quan: if he can compete with Cao Cao, it is better to break it early; If you can't resist, then call yourself a vassal as soon as possible. Like a general, on the surface, he obeys orders, but in fact he has two ambitions, but his eyebrows are constantly burned, and I am afraid that he will soon be in a catastrophe.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang said: "May the general do what he can." ”

At this time, Sun Quan also had an imbalance in his heart.

So, Sun Quan sneered at each other and said: "In that case, why don't you Liu Yuzhou surrender?" ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang replied: "Liu Yuzhou's royal family, the talent is the world, and the expectations of the people are returned, how can there be any reason to surrender?" Even if resistance fails, that is providence. Surrender Cao Cao, never! ”

After hearing this, Sun Quan thought about it. So he said on the spot: I think clearly, except for Liu Yuzhou, no one can fight against Cao Cao. However, before Sun Quan made a decision, he still had to weigh the possibility of war, so he asked bluntly: After Liu Yuzhou's new defeat, is there still the power to resist?

Sun Quan is settling accounts.

So Zhuge Liang said: Cao Cao has been on a long march of thousands of miles, and he has become the end of a strong crossbow to kill here, where will there be combat effectiveness? People in the north, if they are not accustomed to water warfare, where will they have combat effectiveness? Liu Cong's troops surrendered to Cao Cao, originally forced to be helpless, not convinced, where would there be combat effectiveness?

Facts have proved that Zhuge Liang's judgments are completely correct.

More importantly, he also brought an important message, that is, Liu Bei was not completely annihilated, and Jingzhou did not fall completely. As long as the two sides work together, there will be no problem in defeating Cao Cao. Cao Cao's army was defeated and he must have retreated to the north. At that time, the Central Plains, Jiangdong and Jingzhou could be formed.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang said: The opportunity for success or failure lies in today.

Speaking of which, Sun Quan still stood still.

Sun Quan is waiting for someone. This person is Zhou Yu.

According to historical records, after listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis of Cao's weaknesses and the advantages of Sun and Liu's alliance to break Cao, Sun Quan agreed very much, and decided to join Liu to fight Cao. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan later listened to the words of Zhang Zhao and others, and became suspicious, and Wu Guotai reminded him that he should listen to Zhou Yu's opinion.

So what kind of person is Zhou Yu?

Zhou Yu was born in the same year as Sun Ce. is a good buddy who grew up with Sun Ce. Later, they were comrades-in-arms who were like brothers.

The foundation of Jiangdong was laid down by the two of them. They also married the famous beauties Big Joe and Little Joe respectively. became a young hero who had a good harvest on the battlefield and in love. He was twenty-four years old. They are known as Sun Lang and Zhou Lang.

After Sun Ce's death, it was Zhou Yu who took the lead in supporting Sun Quan, and became Sun Quan's right-hand man together with Zhang Zhao. At that time, Sun Quan's official position was only a general, but Zhou Yu was courteous to Sun Quan's courtiers. He also told Lu Su that Sun Quan would definitely be able to achieve the emperor's cause, so Lu Su defected to Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu was recalled from the front at the suggestion of Lu Su.

Zhou Yu was originally training sailors at Poyang Lake, but when he heard that Cao's army had arrived at the riverside, he rushed back to Chaisang County overnight.

Because Lu Su has the best friendship with Zhou Yu. So Lu Su met Zhou Yu for the first time and told him about the discussions in the past two days. Zhou Yu reassured Lu Su and asked him to invite Zhuge Liang to meet.

Zhou Yu's return is a big deal. Now Soochow is divided into two factions, one is the main battle faction and the other is the main surrender faction.

Both factions went to Zhou Yu to talk about things. Zhou Yu persuaded them to go back with good words. Negotiate again.

In the evening, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang talked for a long time. In the end, Zhuge Liang also talked about Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao.

After Zhou Yu heard this, he said angrily: "I am inseparable from Cao Thief!" So, Zhou Yu finally decided to resist Cao.

The next morning, Sun Quan ascended to the court. Zhou Yu analyzed Cao Cao's taboo in the use of troops.

Zhou Yu's analysis of Cao Cao's taboo in the use of troops. Specifically:

The local area was uneasy, and the troubles were not eliminated, so they rushed south. This is one of them; In the cold winter, the horse has no forage and insufficient provisions, which is the third; Labor expeditions, water and soil are not adapted, and diseases will be born, and this is the fourth.

Zhou Yu said: "These four are all taboos for soldiers, but Cao Cao does not fall behind. With such a profit and wisdom, it is simply that we have come to die, how can we surrender instead? I see that this thief is captured alive today. ”

The myth of Cao Cao's invincibility was shattered by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu together.

Here, Lu Su settled the political account, Zhuge Liang settled the alliance account, and Zhou Yu settled the military account.

At this time, Sun Quan was determined for a while, and then he made up his mind. Sun Quan said to the ministers: "The old thief has long wanted to abolish the Han and stand on his own, but he is afraid of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and me. Now the heroes are gone, but only the lonely remains. Lonely and old thief, incompatible! ”

In order to declare his determination, Sun Quan drew his knife and cut off the corner of the case and shouted: "If anyone dares to advocate surrendering to Cao Cao, the end will be the same as this book case!" ”

So, Sun Quan gave Zhou Yu the sword, named Zhou Yu the governor of the capital on the spot, and announced that those who did not obey the order would be executed with this sword.

It was also on this night that Zhou Yu and Sun Quan had a separate conversation. Sun Quan touched Zhou Yu's back and said some secrets.

The general content of this secret is as follows: Sun Quan has selected 30,000 elite soldiers, ships, food, grass and weapons have also been prepared. Let Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Cheng Pu take the lead, and Sun Quan will do his best to support in the rear. If the war is unfavorable. Zhou Yu came back and waited for Sun Quan to fight Cao Cao to the death. ”

It can be seen from this that Sun Quan has long been ready to participate in the war. Sun Quan is by no means an idle person.

Then since Sun Quan is ready.

Then it depends on how Zhou Yu uses the troops. And there is Zhuge Liang's credit in this.

So how did Zhuge Liang help Zhou Yu?

But in any case, Wu Jun finally set off. They have Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as the chief and deputy commanders. Zhou Yu must be the commander-in-chief, and Cheng Pu is the deputy commander-in-chief. That is, the concept of left and right governors. Lu Su, as the chief of staff, that is, the captain of the Zan Military Academy, drove the warship to puff up the sails and prepare to sail to Fankou.

Liu Bei, who sent people to guard the dock every day, finally looked forward to the rescue. In order to show his sincerity, Liu Bei took a boat alone to meet Zhou Yu. The two of them had their own greetings and condolences when they met, but Liu Bei was most concerned about the military situation.

After Liu Bei saw Zhou Yu, he said: "General Sun is determined to fight against Cao Gong, which can be described as far-sighted, but I don't know how many soldiers your army has?" ”

Zhou Yu replied, "Thirty thousand." ”

Liu Bei said: "Hate less! ”

Zhou Yu said confidently: "30,000 people are enough!" Please Liu Yuzhou relax and watch me break the enemy! ”

So how did Zhou Yu prepare for this battle of unprecedented scale?
