Jiangdong needs to find an ally to fight against the future great enemy Lu Peng, which is already an urgent matter and needs to be dealt with quickly.

However, the choice of this ally has caused everyone to worry.

Choosing Cao Cao, it is absolutely impossible, Cao Cao is a hero in the world, his purpose is to unify the world, how can he share future victories with others?

There is another thing that prevents everyone from uniting with Cao Cao, and that is righteousness. Cao Cao has been set up by the people of the world as an example of a traitor, that is, he must be beaten and destroyed. If you unite with him, you will be in the same stream as the traitor, and you will fall behind in righteousness and character, and you will be pointed out by thousands of people, which is absolutely undesirable.

Then the only ally placed in front of Jiangdong is Liu Bei, who always has small movements.

Liu Bei and Jiangdong are the same, among these four groups, they are the weakest, but if the two weak groups unite, they will become the second in the world in one leap, and use the second in the world to the third Cao Cao in the world, and then use righteousness as a call, it should not be a problem to destroy Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao is destroyed, the world will become three points, so the two that have occupied the Central Plains will continue to unite, and they will be able to continue to compete with Lu Peng.

So now, taking advantage of Lu Peng's northern visit and the time when he has no time for the Central Plains, the use of troops against Cao Cao has become a top priority. The reason is that Liu Bei can send troops with peace of mind, no longer have to worry about Lu Peng's sudden stabbing, and the two families can unite to fight the enemy.

At the same time, in this war, without Lu Peng's participation, the two families can carve up the Central Plains with peace of mind and strengthen their strength. The meat is just such a piece, the more people who divide it, the less everyone eats, the less they eat, the weaker the body, as long as Lu Peng eats a piece, its growth rate is huge, and the distance between the other two people will be greater, this is a vicious circle.

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of Lu Peng's consideration of the north to draw this huge cake into his mouth.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are uncomfortable with Liu Bei, because the two of them are the second generation of officials, Liu Bei is a small merchant and hawker, and the second generation of officials and small traders are mixed together.

Under Lu Su's grand plan and careful analysis and explanation, he finally persuaded the arrogant Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to prepare to unite with Liu Bei and destroy Cao together.

To unite Liu Bei, you have to pay a price, and the land is divided, which is essential, but in order to gain Liu Bei's trust, you must pay more price.

What Jiangdong Group can pay, benefit without cost, that is in name.

Originally, Jiangdong had never played the banner of opposing the Han court, but this time, he simply wrote directly to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, asking him to formally establish his status as King Wu and express his allegiance to him.

Anyway, this is just a nominal issue, and I don't want the court to give money to my people, and of course the court understands that they will never put their hands into Jiangdong, if he dares to reach out, Sun Quan will definitely dare to chop him.

After the major policies were set, Sun Quan decided to send Lu Su to the court to ask for a knighthood.

As a result, before he could set off here, the envoy of Emperor Han Xian had already arrived. At that time, Jiang Dong let out a long breath, should he still have to ask for face, he took the initiative to go up and pray, where is it better for the other party to take the initiative to send it over? During this period, I can still handle it a little, and maybe I can even knock on the bamboo pole.

In order to show his sincerity, in order to prove that he is still the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan took hundreds of civil and military officials and personally went out to Jianye ten miles to greet the angels.

Then in Jianye, he built a high platform to worship the king and accepted the official reward of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. And he offered the offering of Koto to the angel and asked the angel to accept it on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Regarding Jiangdong's attitude, the accompanying little Huangmen Yuanqing couldn't help but burst into tears with emotion, he has followed the emperor for many years, and has experienced the decline and suffering of the entire royal family, who in the world still puts the emperor in his eyes? Even a guard in front of the door can point fingers at the emperor, and he treats these yellow doors as if he were enemies.

But since being accepted by Xuande Gong, Banzai has been respected to the greatest extent, and his subordinates have also been treated kindly.

For example, Sun Quan, who is now powerful in the world, is now respectful to the emperor, what does this mean, strength, the strength of Uncle Liu Huang, who represents the emperor, makes the world have to be in awe of the emperor again.

Shi Tao's eloquence is famous all over the world, not to mention that he has played with Zhuge Liang since he was a child, as the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, the two of them debated day and night, and Shi Tao became a debater in the world, after a debate in the lobby, the Jiangdong debate team was defeated.

But the bamboo pole was not knocked, and of course the bamboo pole was not knocked by the other party.

After the trick is over, I sit down calmly and talk about the serious matter of forming an alliance.

At that time, Shi Tao took out the map of the spoils he brought, and solemnly explained to Sun Quan that after the two families jointly destroyed Cao, Long Live would hand over the entire Yangzhou, eastern Xuzhou, and most of Qingzhou to Sun Quan's jurisdiction, and Liu Bei occupied Yuzhou, all of Yanzhou, and eastern Xuzhou.

It's a fair division, at least on the surface.

But it is still necessary to fight, so the two sides quarreled again, Sun Quan was trying his best to ask for the entire Xuzhou, Shi Tao was not giving an inch, and the result was that a lot of saliva was wasted, and the matter was still decided according to the emperor's intentions, that is, Zhuge Liang's plan.

All that remains is how many troops each sends and where they come from.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, and the Jiangdong Group was mainly based on the water division, all the way out of Guangling to Yangzhou, and then based on Yangzhou, the Bingfeng pointed directly to Xuzhou.

All the way to the north, the sailors directly attacked Cao Cao's stronghold, Qingzhou (now the Shandong Peninsula), and then turned south, occupied the whole of Xuzhou, and pinned down Cao Cao's main force in Yanzhou.

This strategy gave full play to the advantages of the Jiangdong naval division, which was to strike at Cao Cao's eastern weakness.

And Liu Bei went all the way out of Jingzhou, killed Yuzhou, and went all the way out of the division to attack Yuzhou, and now that the first part of Yuzhou is in Liu Bei's hands, it shouldn't take too much effort to take the rest of Yuzhou. Then the two armies split up, all the way to attack the base camp of Cao Cao in Yanzhou, all the way to the east, attacked Xuzhou, and Sun Quan formed a joint attack on Xuzhou.

The two sides agreed that on 8 August, the two sides would pledge to jointly send troops to end the war before the end of the year, and even if Cao Cao was not completely eliminated before the year, they could only strike the army.

The reason for this is Lu Peng's problem.

Lu Peng faced the northern grassland Xianbei, even if the war went smoothly, it would take more than a year, but the north was cold, once it was winter, Lu Peng had to stop the attack, at that time he might send a part of the cavalry to the south to participate in this big battle, if he didn't leave something for Lu Peng at that time, then everyone might collide with Lu Peng in advance, which must not appear.
