Chapter Seventy-One: Lu Su's Determination

The red light on Lu Su's face flashed, and Zhuge Song picked up the seven copper coins one by one with his right hand into the palm of his left hand, and then covered his right hand on his left hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter living in the Three Kingdoms period for several years, because there are no useful opportunities, Zhuge Song's English level has dropped a lot compared to the last time he divined for Lu Su, and it is really difficult for him to recite more fluent English texts like the last time he divined for Lu Su.

So he decided to be simpler, shook the copper coin in his hand very easily, and simply sang the English alphabet song to Lu Su directly: abcdefg,,rst.uvw,xyz.xyz?nowyousee,everybodysingswithme!

Zhuge Song tried his best to keep his voice low and slow, lest the English song be too cheerful and lose the atmosphere of divination.

Seeing that Lu Su, an honest man, was stunned again, Zhuge Song, who had finished singing the alphabet song, felt dark in his heart again. What's more, this time there is Lu Meng, who has seen him "powerful" for the first time, and this guy's expression is even more exaggerated, as if he has seen the sun fall from the sky.

After singing the last sentence, Zhuge Song threw the copper coin on the bed, and the copper coin scattered, one positive and six negative, a relatively small result in random probability. Lu Su's eyes were fixed on the seven copper coins, and then he immediately looked at Zhuge Song, although Zhuge Song could read the hope in his eyes, but how to connect this positive and negative with his next words, he always had to think about it for a while.

Lu Su saw that Zhuge Song had not spoken for a long time, his face began to become flustered, and he looked at Zhuge Song's eyes, as if Zhuge Song was an immortal who could immediately pronounce his life and death.

On the one hand, Zhuge Song has to try to make Lu Su believe that it is not possible to betray the alliance and attack Jingzhou, and on the other hand, he has to paste it with the so-called "hexagram", which is not to say that it can be contacted, but can be contacted casually, so it is still necessary to phrase the words carefully, so as not to see through any loopholes by the other party.

It's just that in this way, the psychological pressure on Lu Su is great, and he forcibly asked, "But Su Su will not be long in coming?" Life and death are fateful, but the general said that it was okay. Having said that, Zhuge Song could clearly hear the tremor in his voice.

Seeing that Lu Su was so nervous, Zhuge Song was much easier. He also decided not to make up too complicated statements with Lu Su, but just shook his head, patted Lu Su's body with his right hand and said: "The governor is relieved, although this hexagram is dangerous, it is not impossible. ”

"What's the solution, you should say it quickly!" When it comes to Lu Su's life and death, Lu Meng looks obviously more anxious than Lu Su.

Zhuge Song smiled slightly, put the copper coins that had been thrown on Lu Su's bed one by one, and said to the two: "This hexagram is not good for sword soldiers, if you want the metropolitan governor to be fine, within a year, the metropolitan governor only needs to recuperate in peace and quiet, and do not lead the troops to battle." ”

"What? Just a few copper coins, you want me to take a one-year break from the army? "Lu Meng is really a belligerent, and when he heard that he hadn't fought for a year, he immediately questioned Zhuge Songlai.

Zhuge Song didn't bother to explain it to him, and thought, "You ask me why?" How can I explain it to you if I lie to you casually? Then he spread his hands and made a helpless statement: "General Lu is angry, the heavenly machine must not be revealed, my method of divination is contained in ancient books, and I can only calculate the hexagram below, but not solve the hexagram. ”

When Lu Su heard that he was actually saved, his spirit relaxed a lot, and he waved his hand at Lu Meng and said, "Ziming, don't get excited. General Zhuge also said just now, it's just that I can't lead the troops to fight within a year, and I have a lot of talents in Dongwu, and if I have a good fighter, I will naturally not miss it. After speaking, he glanced at Zhuge Song meaningfully.

At this glance, Zhuge Song's heart froze, and he didn't know if Lu Su said this sentence on purpose, in order to hide the uneasiness in his heart, he had to say: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is extremely true, if General Guan captures Fancheng and Xuzhou's troops are transferred to the west, why do you need the Metropolitan Governor to go out and look down, as long as General Lu leads the troops, Hefei will be at your fingertips!" ”

"The general is very right, Ziming's talent is enough to take on a big responsibility." Lu Su looked at Lu Meng with appreciation, but Lu Meng bowed his head and responded: "Most of the governors praise falsely, and the last general is terrified!" In the land of Hefei, the army led by the lord and his father-in-law could not be conquered, let alone the last general. ”

"Hehe, Ziming, you are really becoming more and more modest, so good, so good! Ahem! After all, he was in poor health, and Lu Su coughed twice when he said this.

Zhuge Song took his leave when he saw the opportunity, refused Lu Su's good offer to stay for a few more days, and after determining that Lu Su would send the 50,000 arrows directly to Xiangyang, he returned to Jiangling by boat.

After Zhuge Song left, although Lu Su no longer had to pretend to be so sick, he also had a sad face and sighed.

Seeing that Lu Su was so uneasy, Lu Meng stepped forward and asked: "Why is the Metropolitan Governor like this, do you really believe that Zhuge Song's wild words, according to the last general's opinion, this person is flashy and untruthful, and there is nothing to believe in what he said!" ”

"Ziming, you don't know anything!" Lu Su coughed, supported his body with his arms and tried to sit up half-sit, Lu Meng hurriedly stepped forward to help, and listened to Lu Su continue: "It has been five years since the Battle of Chibi!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Although Lu Meng agreed, he didn't know why Lu Su wanted to mention the incident five years ago.

Speaking of the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su's eyes began to become blurry: "I remember how majestic and heroic Gong Jin was that year, and he regarded hundreds of thousands of Cao troops as overwhelmed by grass mustard. And I, however, am still an ordinary adviser under the lord's account, and I am soft-spoken, and many of the lord's ministers are far more qualified than me. ”

"So what? At that time, it was precisely because you led Kong Ming across the river and persuaded the lord that I had a good situation in Dongwu! Lu Meng said a little angrily when he remembered that although there were many generals who wanted to fight, Wenchen almost all wanted to surrender: "A group of mediocre ministers, who usually eat the lord and the princess, but they just want to surrender in the face of danger, I really don't know why they still have the face to continue to wait by the lord's side!" ”

"Ziming! It must not be so! When Lu Su heard Lu Meng say this, he immediately sobered up from his confused expression and admonished him: "In the past few years, with the gradual growth of your military achievements and my deliberate cultivation, you have now become a general in the army, but you have too much to complain about on weekdays, and the ministers headed by Lord Zhang on the lord's side are very dissatisfied with you, and I want you to replace me in the future, but you are so indulgent on weekdays, and do not pay attention to words and deeds. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, disaster will come to you! "Cough, cough, cough, as soon as Lu Su said this, he actually coughed violently.

Lu Meng has always been very dissatisfied with some civil officials led by Zhang Zhao, and at this time he wanted to argue a few words, but when he saw that Lu Su was coughing badly, he didn't say anything more, so he had to respond: "Yes, the metropolitan governor, the last general will not say anything in the future." ”

Seeing Lu Meng like this, Lu Su knew that he was a martial artist, so he didn't say anything, and continued to return the topic to the Battle of Chibi: "Do you know that that year, Zhuge Song came to see me privately and divined for me once. ”

"Could it be that he had already calculated it that time?" Lu Meng's face looked incredulous.

"It's more than accurate! At that time, Gong Jin was at his peak both physically and aged, but Zhuge Song only relied on divination, and he couldn't say that in three years, the position of the governor of the capital was about to fall on me, which was incredible! Lu Su thought of the scene where Zhuge Song memorized the English text at that time, and he was already impressed.

But Lu Meng was still unwilling to believe it, and tried to justify: "That may also be that he was young at the time, guessed casually, and just happened to be hit!" ”

But what Lu Su said next made Lu Meng completely fall into deep thought: "How can it be nonsense, at that time, Kong Ming promised to get 100,000 arrows for Gong Jin, Zhuge Songlai seemed to have inadvertently led me to his divination, and in hindsight, he did not hesitate to gamble with his own life, and insisted on winning 50,000 arrows from me to go back, obviously premeditated, but he was confident before coming!" ”

Lu Meng thought that he thought that he had seen through Zhuge Song's character of being good at underestimating the enemy's danger, and pretended to let Pan Zhang lead 3,000 troops to surround Hanshou, trying to lure Zhuge Song out and then seize Wuling's plan was seen through by Zhuge Song so easily, and only led a small part of his troops to contact Pan Zhang, but let the barbarian army stand still and issue warning posts everywhere, humiliating himself in vain. The thought that this was very likely to be obtained by Zhuge Song through divination in advance, it was really even more chilling than Zhuge Song's own superior wisdom and ability to see through his strategy this time.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng linked Zhuge Song's divination ability with the last Hanshou incident and told Lu Su, and said to Lu Su very uneasily: "Dadu Governor, the world says that the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks can settle the world, and now Liu Bei has both of them, and the land of Yizhou is newly obtained, coupled with Zhuge Song's unpredictable divination ability, if it is true, I am afraid we will have to think again about whether Cao Cao is a great threat to us in the future, or Liu Bei is greater!" ”

Cough, cough, Lu Su coughed twice, and said a little dejectedly: "I think that Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao to only the land of Jiangxia and half of the county, saying that it was an alliance, but in fact, it was just relying on a boost under the wings of the lord!" After the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao returned to the north, Gongjin was shot by Cao Ren in order to capture the southern county, not to mention the root of the disease, Jingzhou was also taken away by Liu Bei, which was the original Liu Bei said that Yizhou would return Jingzhou, so that later the two sides met each other, and we took advantage of Cao Cao's capture of Hanzhong Liu Bei could not take care of both ends, and first took back Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang. Now that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are in Hanzhong, the generals in the army have secretly written to the lord to persuade him to take advantage of the situation to attack Hefei again, and there are many people who have reported the shame of the last time, and the lord has also written to ask for my opinion. I know, I have always hoped to maintain the Sun-Liu Alliance, after all, Cao Cao is still very large and has an absolute advantage in the eyes of the three families. But since Yun Chang defeated Cao Ren and won Xiangyang, I began to hesitate, afraid that if the lord attacked Hefei again, it would be unfavorable, but in vain prompted Cao Cao to withdraw from Hanzhong, so that Liu Bei could get the land of Hanzhong again, so that our Eastern Wu would be in the weakest position among the three! ”

Lu Meng continued: "Although Cao Cao is still the strongest now, Liu Bang was weaker than Xiang Yu in the past and eventually became the emperor, relying on more talents than Xiang Yu, rather than territorial troops. Now that Liu Bei's strength has increased greatly, and under the guise of restoring the Han family, and there are talents like Wolong Fengxiao and Zhuge Song, it is really a greater threat to Eastern Wu than Cao Cao. ”

"So I decided to do not move first, Liu Bei and Cao Cao have no possibility of uniting, but whether we are with Liu Bei or Cao Cao, there is the possibility of union, although it may be that Liu Bei is a greater potential threat to us, but Cao Cao has a wide range of people after all, and it is difficult to shake the root of one or two defeats, if Liu Bei can get Hanzhong and even Liangzhou, then we will ask for the remaining three counties of Jingzhou, if Liu Bei does not give it at that time, it is not too late for us to unite with Cao Cao." Lu Su said.

"I'm afraid that by then, Liu Bei will have already achieved his wings, even if we unite with Cao Cao, we won't be able to suppress him!" Lu Meng said worriedly.

Lu Su waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Jingzhou is not better than Hanzhong, it is the place of four wars, there is almost no danger to defend except for the city, if there is really that day, our Eastern Wu has also been benevolent to Liu Bei, I will play to ask the lord to unite Cao Cao to attack Xiangyang first, wait for Guan Yu to assemble with Xiangyang, I will personally lead the troops to Nanjun, cut off its back road, destroy Liu Bei's Jingzhou troops to block the Chuankou, then Cao Cao sits on the Central Plains, Liu Bei is beneficial and Liang two states, Dongwu has Jing and Yang two states, and then Xu Tu consolidates Jiaozhou, and the momentum of the Three Kingdoms can be maintained for a long time, Soochow's location will be more favorable.
