After Zhuge Liang replied to Sun Quan, he only taught Zhang Fei not to fight with Cao Pi for the time being, ten days, not short, long but not long, Zhuge Liang can still afford to wait, only Zhang Fei is a little reluctant to let Sun Quan's reinforcements control the situation on the battlefield, but the enemy is outnumbered, in addition to doing this, Zhang Fei is also no better way, so he can only press his temperament and wait for Sun Quan's news with Zhuge Liang in Runan County.

Everything is as Zhuge Liang expected, when Sun Quan received Zhuge Liang's reply, he hesitated for a while, and then convened a new generation of courtiers in Jiangdong to discuss the matter, without Zhou Yu and Lu Su's court, so that Sun Quan felt quite pure, when he described the content of Zhuge Liang's letter to the ministers, the ministers began to talk about the matter in a low voice.

"What do the two governors think we should do about this matter?" When Sun Quan waited for half a pillar of incense, he saw that Lu Meng and Lu Xun were both standing there and did not speak, so he asked faintly.

What Sun Quan thought in his heart, Lu Meng and Lu Xun naturally had a number, they knew that with Sun Quan's temperament, if they didn't want to send troops to help, they would definitely not gather the ministers, but just discuss with the two of them privately and reply to the letter.

Now that Sun Quan has summoned the ministers and publicized the matter, what he thinks in his heart is to agree to send troops, but if this kind of thing of helping others in vain is placed in the past, there will definitely be a voice of opposition in the court, so if you want to make this matter logical today, only Sun Quan is noncommittal, and Lu Meng and Lu Xun support this matter, which is the result that Sun Quan is looking forward to.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other as before, and Lu Meng immediately straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and said loudly: "In my opinion, this matter is a great opportunity for my Jiangdong, my Jiangdong soldiers are well fed, and it is irrelevant to send 20,000 horses to Runan, if this time can really help Zhuge Liang repel Cao Pi, my Jiangdong's income will definitely be much more than the consumption of 20,000 horses." ”

When Lu Meng said this, he didn't explain in detail, but just glanced at Sun Quan with his eyes, and saw that he bowed his head slightly, so he turned around slightly and faced the ministers of the court.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Meng finished speaking, an old minister of Jiangdong retorted in front of the hall, bluntly saying that Jiangdong's hard-earned soldiers should not do that fruitless thing in order to please Zhuge Liang, and the words were also very ugly.

Lu Meng had already expected such a situation, and his face remained unchanged at the moment, and he smiled slightly: "Thinking about the battle of Chibi, almost the entire army of my Jiangdong elite navy was dispatched, although Cao Cao's 800,000 elite soldiers were all defeated in Chibi, but in the end, they also ended up with a bamboo basket to draw water, in vain, nothing was gained, how can this matter be said?" Now that I, Jiangdong Taoguang, have been obscure for all these days, how can I make the mistakes of that day again? Zhuge Liang didn't have many soldiers and horses in Runan, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to form an alliance for the sake of my 20,000 horses in Jiangdong District. ”

After Lu Meng said such a remark, everyone was silent, such a statement is obviously equivalent to uncovering the scars of Zhou Yu and Lu Su and others, when the two were still above the court, naturally no one dared to say these words, at this time the two were no longer there, and Lu Meng was in a high position, so no one stood up to refute this biased remark, Sun Quan's psychology, these Jiangdong old ministers who have followed him for several years still know in their hearts.

"Since Ziming already has a plan for this matter in his heart, I don't know who to send to lead these 20,000 soldiers and horses north?"

Sun Quan saw that no one refuted for a while, and he was also afraid that he would have a long night and a long dream, after all, most of those old people were not convinced in their hearts by Lu Meng, who had not had any great achievements before, and once one person stood up to refute it, things would not be easy.

Sun Quan's words, everyone saw what Sun Quan meant in his heart, and naturally no one refuted, and when Lu Meng heard this, he looked at the generals standing behind him, and then turned around and replied: "Zhuge Liang is a very treacherous person, although we want to form an alliance with him, but we can't be regarded as a vanguard to fight against Cao Pi's army, so this time I went out on an expedition, and I was willing to personally lead 20,000 troops, go north from Hefei, and join forces with Zhuge Liang in Runan, and then make plans, just a few generals to go with me, I wonder what the lord thinks? ”

Since Lu Meng raised this matter, he also intended to secretly compete with Zhuge Liang in his heart, to see what kind of ability this Mr. Wolong, who had assisted Liu Bei in playing Zhou Yu and Lu Su in the palm of his hand, although he disagreed with Zhou Yu's politics, but his heart was also dedicated to Jiangdong, what Jiangdong lost in Zhuge Liang's hands before, Lu Meng also had the intention to take this opportunity to take back some from Zhuge Liang's hands.

"Since Ziming personally invited Yingying to go, how can there be no permission, the generals in front of the hall, if they are ordered by Ziming, they must not disobey the generals, just follow Ziming and try their best to cooperate!"

There has always been nothing in the Jiangdong court, and at this time, Lu Meng personally invited Ying to go, Sun Quan was naturally happy to see this, and Sun Quan was also well aware of the worries in Lu Meng's heart, so these words could be regarded as a heart booster, which made Lu Meng feel at ease.

Two days later, Lü Meng led an army of 20,000 and marched north to Runan. At the same time, Liu Feng and Fei Yuwei also returned to Chengdu in the dust.

Not many people know the news of Liu Feng's departure, so when Liu Feng entered the city, he did not greet him with great fanfare, only Xu Shu waited at the gate of Liu Feng's mansion early.

"Are the two generals, Zilong and Meng Qi, coming back?" Liu Feng has never forgotten this matter, and as soon as he saw Xu Shu, he had not yet entered the mansion, so he asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, the two generals have returned to the city a few days ago, and after hearing that the lord is about to return, he secretly summoned the two generals to the court to wait, and most of them have already arrived in the court at this time."

Seeing that Xu Shu had an indifferent look on his face, Liu Feng knew that most of the two of them brought back good news, so he did not push open the door of the mansion, and went straight to the court next to him with Xu Shu, although Liu Feng knew that his two wives should be looking forward to it in the mansion at this time, but with Liu Feng's temperament, he naturally would not let Zhao Yun and Ma Chao wait for him there in vain.

Sure enough, Liu Feng followed Xu Shu to the court, and saw Zhao Yun and Ma Chao both dressed in civilian clothes, sitting there talking to each other, with smiles on their faces.

"The two of you look like this, don't you have a report to me?"
