『Chapter error, click here to report』
When convincing his colleagues, Zhuge Liang also calmly agreed with his determination and methods to continue to pit his peers. "I don't just want Sun Quan to be our helper, I also want him to be Lu Peng's enemy."
This decision is a bit difficult in everyone's eyes, because everyone knows that Sun Quan is not only Lu Peng's staunch ally, but also Lu Peng's sworn brother, according to Lu Peng's habit of ranking, Sun Quan is the sixth of Lu Peng's brothers. Of course, several other brothers do not approve of this.
But no matter what, making Sun Quan Lu Peng's enemy is an unrealistic thing to say the least.
Zhuge Liang continued his eloquent conversation: "After our Sun and Liu families destroyed Cao Cao, our next enemy is to face Lu Peng, we can only continue to fight against Lu Peng, but how to make Sun Quan willing to unite with us to fight against Lu Peng?" When he said this, Zhuge Liang proudly sold a pass.
Everyone stretched their necks together and waited for his next step.
Seeing that everyone was attracted to him, Zhuge Liang said with confidence: "I am ready to give Sun Quan half of Cao Cao's Qingzhou, half of Yangzhou occupied by Cao Cao, and half of Xuzhou to Sun Quan after Cao Cao is destroyed." ”
Such a generous gesture immediately made many people fiercely oppose, and this is too much, this is not distressing to sell Yetian.
For such a plan, even the emperor and Liu Bei felt unhappy, in their hearts, Cao Cao's territory was already their own, and it was already very generous to be able to take out Yangzhou to Sun Quan.
But the emperor didn't say anything, and the king of Han didn't object, so everyone shut up for the time being, and waited for Zhuge Liang to finish talking about it before refuting him.
Zhuge Liang continued to fan his broken fan and poured out his dark intentions. "Just look at the map." Then he walked to the front of the huge map and drew an arc with a feather fan, which was the place to be given to Sun Quan.
"As long as Sun Quan accepts these places, on the sea route, he will collide with Lu Peng's Sun Miao Sailor, and on land, it will be connected with Lu Peng's Yizhou Bohai Sea. In this way, the two of them have completely intersected in terms of interests and forces, and I am looking forward to seeing what kind of change Lu Peng's flaunted righteousness will look like in front of his brothers who will block his door in the future. After saying that, the thief laughed and the thief laughed, and the laughing was the little shoulders shrugged and shrugged, so all the people in the court laughed and laughed, and the little shoulders shrugged and shrugged.
Since he unites Sun Quan, he has to give someone something, but what can Liu Bei give him? In the end, the emperor sat on the throne and personally wrote a holy decree, officially recognizing Sun Quan's name as King Wu and officially recognizing his power position in ruling Jiangdong.
So, Shi Tao, who was able to speak well, went out of Jiangdong with the emperor's holy decree to lobby Sun Quan.
Now Sun Quan's life is quite nourishing, Jiangdong in the last battle between Lu Peng and Cao Cao, want to fish in troubled waters, take the land of Yangzhou, Jiangbei, but Zhou Yu, who has always been known for his resourcefulness, finally did not defeat the more sophisticated Guo Jia, the two sides fought a tug-of-war along the Yangtze River for many days, and Zhou Yu was completely defeated by Guo Jia and retreated to Jiangdong.
But in any case, Sun Quan did not lose in this war, not only that, but also obtained the benefits he deserved. Where do the benefits come from? From Lu Peng, of course.
Sun Quan proudly sent a letter to Lu Peng to report his merits, as a righteous brother, seeing his brother being bullied by Cao Cao, of course he couldn't sit idly by, according to the provisions of the original covenant, he sent troops to contain Cao Cao, which was definitely a huge relief for Lu Peng's military pressure, so his own loss needed his brother Lu Peng to give subsidies.
Regarding Sun Quan's rogue behavior, Lu Peng had to pinch his nose and give a certain subsidy when he sneered, because it seemed to be the case in reason. The most important thing is that Lu Peng hopes that this covenant will continue to exist, so that Sun Quan can get some sweetness here, and lay a good emotional foundation for Sun Quan to be able to send troops and contribute to the battle between himself and Cao Cao in the future.
Then, in order to rebuild and create a false image, Lü Peng began to increase the purchase of cloth and grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan suddenly obtained the increased purchase of Lü Peng's grain and cloth, so that he had plenty of money in his hands.
After recuperating for so many years, and now that he has plenty of money at hand, the Jiangdong policy that Lu Su planned for everyone at the beginning has a material basis that can be realized. So the whole Jiangdong was eager to try, gearing up, ready to throw off his arms and do a fight.
But at this time, there is also a major premise that Jiangdong is confined to a remote place, no matter which direction it develops, there are the most powerful enemies, and the most critical point is that Lu Peng's attitude is obscure, and from all indications, he is still trying to support Liu Bei's development and growth.
Liu Bei occupies the position of righteousness, his subordinates are like rain and fierce generals, the wise men of the world are gathered under his hands, and the ambition of dominating the Central Plains is already obvious.
And he chose to attack Cao Cao, not to mention that Cao Cao's strength still makes it difficult for Jiangnan to match him, even the ambitious Liu Bei is completely likely to fish in troubled waters and attack his west.
Now the four families in the world are evenly matched, and everyone wants to dominate the Central Plains and unify the world, but everyone wants to pinch the soft persimmon first, and use the merger of the weak party to enhance their own strength.
And Lu Peng's sudden shift of the focus of his strategy to the north this time is equivalent to letting Cao Cao, a tiger, out of the cage, where is his target for attack? Is it Liu Bei or himself? This requires careful judgment.
For this reason, Jiangdong Group has held countless meetings to study and judge, but it always fails to grasp the essentials, even if it is as clever as Zhou Yu, it is impossible to make up its mind.
At this time, Lu Su stood up again and gave everyone a clear analysis of the current form of the world.
Although everyone has been squatting here for the past two years to breathe and rest, it does not mean that the world has been peaceful, and the pattern of the world will be fixed in this way, and a greater war of reunification and annexation is about to break out.
Counting the strength of the world, the first is Lu Peng, then Cao Cao, and then Liu Bei, so he is the weakest.
The weakest person, if he wants to stand in this imminent chaos, must unite one person and strengthen his own strength.
Of course, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Lu Peng, Sun Quan and Lu Peng are righteous brothers or allies, and there is a Yangtze River Alliance. But no one will be naïve to think that this alliance will allow Lu Peng to let Jiangdong go in the future unification war, and the Yangtze River Covenant, which is a piece of waste paper, has no effect at all.
So calculated in this way, sooner or later Jiangdong will become enemies with Lu Peng in the future. In order to fight against Lu Peng, he must find an ally who shares the same illness as himself.
