Lu Meng saw it clearly and knew that he should not be entangled too much with his colleagues at this time, and the final decision would only come from Wu Hou's mouth.

He took a look at the vacancy and stepped forward to persuade:

"Lord Qi, Cao Cao is stationed in Dangyang at this time, and he is clearly not kind, he must have the heart of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, if our army fights fiercely with the Shu army, the minister is only afraid that Cao Cao will profit from it!"

Hearing Lu Meng mention Cao Cao, Sun Quan was originally in a good mood, but only then did he slightly overshadow.

This time the attack on Jingzhou was perfect, and the only fly in the ointment was that Cao Cao came to insert a bar, which not only allowed Guan Yu to escape, but also attracted Liu Bei's army of revenge.

The situation of Soochow at this time is not an exaggeration to say that it is the enemy on the back of the belly.

But even so, Sun Quan was still full of ambition and didn't care at all.

Let's talk about Cao Cao first.

In Sun Quan's view, in the previous battle of Xiangfan, Cao Cao was forced by Guan Yu to be so embarrassed, and there were continuous internal rebellions, where would he have the strength to dare to face it head-on?

He concluded that Cao Cao was just bluffing at this time, trying to share some benefits.

It was only before the construction of the new camp of the Wu army was completed that Cao Cao dared to act arbitrarily on the land of Nanjun.

Once there is a naval army to contain the water, the Eastern Wu naval army can directly attack Xiangyang, and the Wei army can only retreat to the Xiangfan line on its own.

What's more, Jiangling City also imprisoned Yu Ban and 30,000 Wei soldiers who were captured by Guan Yu before, and with these horses as hostages, Cao Cao would inevitably throw himself into a rat trap and dare not act rashly.

Let's talk about Liu Bei.

Guan Yu is already a toothless tiger, and he is useless.

Liu Bei came east in a hurry, only bringing 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and was blocked by Lu Xun's more than 10,000 soldiers in Yiling.

At this time, Dongwu was in the land of Nanjun, counting the original 20,000 soldiers in Jiangling City, and 10,000 at Lu Xun, and gathered 70,000 new troops brought by the generals along the way, a total of 100,000 people!

Can Shu Han's weak combat power still be compared to his own 100,000 army?

Therefore, as soon as he received Lu Xun's request for help, Sun Quan had a general judgment of the entire situation.

On the one hand, the Wu army relied on the fortified city of Jiangling, and first fought with Cao Cao in the north; On the other hand, concentrate your forces and quickly solve Liu Beijun on the southern front!

As long as Liu Bei is defeated in a short time, what kind of water can Cao Cao mix? What kind of fish to touch?

Moreover, if the results of the battle are expanded and Liu Bei is killed or captured, there will be chaos in Shuzhong!

Cao Cao is old, Hanzhong is newly defeated, do you still dare to come to fight for Yizhou?

At that time, send a general to go upstream, with the means of Dongwu to treat the wealthy family, Yizhou will inevitably be another Jingzhou, which can be passed on!

Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner.

This is the strategy that Sun Quan has found to deal with the current situation and realize the maximum benefits of his own family!

Thinking of this, Sun Quan was in a good mood again, and laughed loudly: "Because of this, Ziming should accept this reward." Only by entrusting Nanjun to Ziming can there be a rock of peace, and loneliness can be worry-free. ”

Lu Meng looked at Sun Quan's high-spirited appearance and knew that the lord had already made up his mind in his heart.

He has served Sun Quan for a long time, and he is very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of this Marquis Wu.

As a prince, Marquis Wu can stoop and endure humiliation, be talented and calculating, have the wonder of hooking and practice, and the hero of the hero, which is an extremely valuable quality.

But correspondingly, his shortcomings are also very obvious.

It was an obsession, an obsession that wanted to surpass his father and brother.

His father, Sun Jian, although he was born in a poor family, was brave and resolute, and created a foundation for the Sun family with his bare hands.

His brother Sun Ce, the first generation of Yongguan, was talented and ambitious, defeated Huang Zu in the year of the weak crown, unified Jiangdong, and even Cao Cao had to praise a sentence: "Qi'er, it is difficult and competitive." ”

Under the backdrop of the two male lords of father and brother, the reigning Wu Hou Sun Quan seems to be inconspicuous at first glance, and many people say that his Sun Quan's position of Wu Hou is a good fate.

If these words had been put in the past, Wu Hou would have laughed at most.

But today, Wu Hou defeated Cao Cao in Chibi first, and then chased Guan Yu in the west of Nanjun, the limelight and prestige are as good as today, and it can be said that there is no other time for a while!

People change.

The words that he didn't put in his heart at all back then have become the deepest obsession in his heart at this moment.

Wu Houtai wants to prove to the world that his Sun Zhongmou's ambition and talent are actually no worse than the Jiangdong Tiger and the Jiangdong Little Overlord!

That's why he has repeatedly visited Hefei!

Wu Hou not only had to surpass his father and brother in terms of civil governance, but also surpassed them in martial arts.

In the eyes of others, Wu Hou has the strength to not admit defeat; But after Lu Meng, who knew that Sun Quan was a person, peeled off the cocoon, he could see the depths of this obsession and energy, which was actually a kind of conceit.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng sighed in his heart:

"What the lord has already decided is that even the nine cows can't be pulled back."

But he thought about it:

"Fortunately, there are two tiger generals Gan Ning and Zhou Tai beside the lord, and Lu Boyan is still there in Yaoting, there are a few of them, with an army that is twice that of Liu Bei, when there is a battle, even if it is not victorious, it will not be defeated."

Thinking of this, Lu Meng could only bow down and clasp his fists and say: "In this case, the minister will take over the post of Nanjun Taishou." It's just that the minister is not good at these yellow and white things, and he asks the lord to take them back. ”

Sun Quan laughed loudly: "It's okay, these things are left in the Jiangling Mansion Treasury alone, whether it is to buy an industry or help the people, you can do it yourself." ”

Seeing that Lu Meng had already bowed his head, Zhuge Jin and the others gave up their thoughts of admonishment.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and all eyes were on the man with a relaxed face and a resolute gaze on the throne.

Sun Quan stared left and right, took a deep breath, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice:

"Liu Bei didn't measure his strength and invaded my realm. Lü Meng and Zhuge Jin led 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard Nanjun to resist Cao Cao; The rest of the generals marched with the lonely west to resist the enemy. There are those who killed Guan Zhang and captured Liu Bei alive, and they were treated by thousands of households! ”

At the foot of the steps, the generals Gan Ning, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Song Qian, and Xian Yu Dan, who came to Jingzhou with him, all responded frantically or without interruption.

For a while, the hall was boiling, and the generals shouted as if they were about to tear down the roof.

Wu Hou's rewards for Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and others were extremely heavy, and everyone saw it in their eyes.

Moreover, Wu Hou even took out Wanhu Hou as a reward this time!

From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who have been entitled. As a minister, in the face of such a generous reward, who will not be moved?

Liu Bei's coming to the west is not only a crisis, but for the generals here, isn't it an excellent opportunity to establish meritorious service? As long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, there may not be a day when you will pay homage to the marquis!

Sun Quan saw that the morale of the generals under his command was high, and he was relieved.

The hard work of rewarding the ministers of Jingzhou in the past few days has finally not been in vain, aren't these new generals already high-spirited and can't wait?

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!

Thinking of most of Jingzhou in hand, Sun Quan couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Father, brother, do you see? What you didn't do, I, Sun Zhongmou, did! ”

"One day, my Sun Zhongmou will teach the world, full of Sun Wu's banner!"
