Chapter 957: Jiangdong Wenchen's conditions
In the secret room, Lu Meng told Ling Tong that his lord was not, which was indeed against the way of the ministers, but Lu Meng was about to die, and what he said was really reasonable, so Ling Tong could only listen.
In this battle of Chaisang, although we did not have the ability to repel Zhuge Liang, we had the ability to keep this place. ”
"But what's the use of keeping this place? In the end, it will also become Lu Peng's bag, and it is really frustrating to think about it. Speaking of this, Ling Tong sat on the side in frustration, lowered his head, and was really silent.
For two generations, his father and son, fought everywhere for the Sun family, originally hoping to establish a unified empire and achieve the name of the founding hero who will be famous through the ages, but according to the current situation, in the end, it is just a falling flower. When a person's goal is crushed by reality, the mood can be imagined.
Seeing that Ling Tong was so depressed, Lu Meng gently patted his knee: "The result is otherwise, but it is very different for the future. ”
"What's the difference?" Ling Tong replied indifferently.
As a result, Lu Meng looked carefully outside the door again, made sure that there were indeed no outsiders in Zuojin, deliberately lowered his voice, and talked about the past again: "At that time, when Sun Liu united to destroy Cao, the lord once sent Mr. Zhuge Jin to Youzhou to ask for Lu Peng to discuss major events in the world, do you remember this matter?" ”
"Of course I remember this incident, but I remember that after Mr. Zhuge Jin went, he didn't negotiate with Lu Peng to achieve any results, so he could only come back in vain."
Lu Meng smiled lightly: "You are wrong, Mr. Zhuge Jin brought back a good result that everyone didn't expect. ”
Ling Tong asked in wonder at that time, "Reached a good thing with Lu Peng that everyone expected?" How did we not know? And Lu Peng didn't do anything to us at all, not only did he not do anything, but he fell into the ground. ”
Lu Meng patted Ling Tong's knee again, and once again lowered his voice, so low that only two people could hear it if they listened carefully: "That agreement is not aimed at our lord Sun Quan, but against our entire Jiangdong civil and military officials, but against our entire Jiangdong people. ”
Ling Tong's heart was Ling: "Since it is aimed at the people and civil and military officials of our entire Jiangdong, what is the difference between it and our lord and emperor?" ”
Lu Meng said decisively: "Yes, too much." ”
Ling Tong asked, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”
Lu Meng replied faintly: "When Mr. Zhuge Jin came back, he secretly gathered several of our main people together and told us about the results of his mission to Lu Peng, but this result has a premise. ”
"What kind of premise?" Ling Tong was really a little confused.
"At that time, Lu Peng hosted a banquet for Mr. Zhuge Jin in his own home, and Lu Peng directly asked an inexplicable question, that is, our Lord Guild would not be the emperor."
As soon as Lu Meng's words came out, Ling Tong's jaw dropped at that time, because Zhuge Jin's envoy to Lu Peng was four years ago, and Sun Quan had no idea of being the emperor at all, but why did Lu Peng suddenly ask such a question, but three years later, the year before that, Sun Quan was really called the emperor, is this an uncertain prophet? Could it be that Lu Peng is really a descendant of immortals?
Looking at Ling Tong with a surprised face, Lu Meng sighed: "I don't know if Lu Peng is a descendant of immortals, but since he was born, every step he has taken seems to be an unaware prophet, for example, when he just appeared, how did he know that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu would achieve something earth-shattering in the future?" ”
"In the end, it wasn't robbed by Liu Bei." Ling Tong showed dissatisfaction.
Lu Meng couldn't help laughing: "As a result, he willingly gave up these two people to become his right-hand men, but in fact, it proves that he has a foresight for the future." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ling Tong really didn't understand, he gave up the two most courageous generals to become his right-hand men, how could he have a prophetic sense again?
"Zhang Fei, a reckless person, throughout his entire history, although he is loyal and commendable, but I don't know how much trouble he brought to Liu Bei, he never defended the city that he was asked to guard, always provoked some people who shouldn't be provoked, and did some reckless things that shouldn't be done."
For such an evaluation, after Ling Tong thought carefully about Zhang Fei's history, he had to sigh, that guy was indeed too capable of causing trouble for Liu Bei, if it weren't for his indiscriminate trouble, not because the city he was responsible for guarding was constantly lost, maybe Liu Bei would have already soared into the sky, where would there be a place for heroes in the world?
"Guan Yu, the pride is gone, and I don't know how many talents in the world have been offended for Liu Bei, although he can fight well, but he lacks the means to win people's hearts, which simply dragged Liu Bei back, the character of these two people, if they help Lu Peng, it is estimated that these two pig teammates will have pulled Lu Peng for nothing."
A simple summary couldn't help but make Ling Tong suddenly enlightened, if you start from this point, Guan Zhang was cut off by Liu Bei at the beginning, there is indeed no pity, it seems that not only is there no pity, but it is a huge burden.
But what does this have to do with some kind of agreement reached by Zhuge Jin and Lu Peng?
Lu Meng continued to continue the topic: "At that time, Lu Peng suddenly asked whether our lord had the heart to be the emperor in his own home, and Mr. Zhu Kejing was also inexplicable at that time, but Lu Peng solemnly told him that our lord was not called the emperor, which was very important to him. ”
"How did Mr. Zhuge Jin answer?"
Mr. Zhuge Jin asked rhetorically at that time, what does it matter if our lord is not called the emperor? Lu Peng said solemnly, because he also wanted to be the emperor. ”
Ling Tong smiled: "Why can he be called emperor, but he doesn't allow others to be emperor?" How can there be such a truth in the world? ”
Lu Meng smiled bitterly: "Because of his strength, because he and our lord have a righteous name." Lu Peng swept the world with his strength, and finally succeeded, this is already an irrefutable reality, and if our lord is not called the emperor, because of the status of the righteous brother, Lu Peng will not be able to tear the face of this righteous battle, so he gave Zhuge Jin a condition, if our lord is not called the emperor, he will retain the title of our lord Wu Wang in the future unification war, will set aside a mansion as his food, and leave this land to his children and grandchildren, in order to complete his brotherhood. ”
"And what about our lord who is called emperor?"
Lu Meng smiled bitterly: "Lu Peng said that he will definitely be the emperor after Sun Quan is proclaimed emperor, and at that time, he will hold high the name of righteousness and crusade against the lord who is called the emperor." ”
Ling Tong was completely shocked, shocked by Lu Peng's straightforwardness, but actually shocked by his insidiousness, because no matter what he did, he would obtain this splendid country and keep his tall and brilliant face, this person was really shameless.
But if you think about it, this is very Lu Peng.
