Chapter 540: Zhuge Liang's Choice
As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at each other, they couldn't accept such a result for a while, but the matter had come to this, even though they were bitter in their hearts, they didn't know how to face the situation in front of them.
Obviously, there are two completely different roads in front of everyone in Jiangdong, one of which is to capture and kill Lu Xun, and then directly build fortifications in Jiangdong, waiting for the arrival of Liu Feng's army, but obviously, it is very risky to do so, once Liu Feng is annoyed and angry, Liu Chan's life will be worried, although according to Lu Xun, Liu Feng only has the love of his brother for Liu Chan, but who can dare to confirm this.
The other is to ensure Liu Chan's safety, directly dedicate Jiangdong to Liu Feng, but the disadvantages of this are still obvious, in case Liu Feng is not as Lu Xun said in the letter, Jiangdong's generals and Liu Chan's lives will not be saved.
They can kill Lu Xun because of Zhuge Liang's words, and they can also risk losing their lives to dedicate Jiangdong to Liu Feng because of Zhuge Liang's words, just because Zhuge Liang has been working hard for Liu Chan for more than ten years, they all see it in their eyes, among all the people in Jiangdong, only Zhuge Liang is the person who can guarantee that he thinks about Liu Chan wholeheartedly, and with him, no one else is qualified to make this decision.
Lu Xun quietly looked at the expressions of the people in Jiangdong, he knew that he could not be anxious at this time, Liu Feng said when he was leaving, this time the envoy is a combination of risks and opportunities, once the people in Jiangdong directly dedicated Jiangdong to Liu Feng for Liu Chan, then the first merit will naturally belong to Lu Xun, but once Liu Chan is not so important in the eyes of the Jiangdong ministers, Lu Xun may have to worry about his life.
But Lu Xun was determined to serve as a messenger to make the familiar Chai Sang, not only because of his self-confidence, but also because of his recognition of Liu Feng, he believed that since Liu Feng brought Liu Chan back to Jingzhou, he must have already eaten Zhuge Liang, even though Zhuge Liang and others would have thousands of reluctance in their hearts, but in the end, he would still dedicate the territory of Jiangdong as Liu Feng designed, for the only son of his former lord Liu Bei.
So when everyone was waiting for Zhuge Liang to make a decision, Lu Xun still looked at Zhuge Liang with a relaxed face, although he also knew that as soon as Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, he might let his head fall to the ground.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others had already arrived in front of Zhuge Liang at this time, and they whispered many words of encouragement to Zhuge Liang, admitting that no matter what decision Zhuge Liang made, they all accepted it calmly and were willing to bear the consequences of that decision.
Zhuge Liang is indeed a person who is good at bearing pressure, but such a big pressure, he is also the first time in his life to bear, he has actually made a decision in his heart, a decision that can make everyone let go of their long-cherished wishes over the years, and live easily and easily, but it takes a lot of courage to say this decision.
After a long time, Zhuge Liang's complexion, which was full of excitement and very ruddy, had returned to normal, he glanced at the people beside him, and then looked at Lu Xun, who was still standing not far in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Liu Feng should still have a letter, now that I have made a decision, you can take it out!" ”
"Mr. Kong Ming's wisdom is very admirable...... Your Majesty did have a letter written by himself before I departed, and His Majesty said that when Mr. Kong Ming made a decision, he could give the letter to Mr. Kong Ming, and of course if Mr. Kong Ming decided to kill me here, he would be able to see this letter after my death. ”
As Lu Xun spoke, he took out another letter from his other sleeve and handed it to Zhuge Liang in front of him with both hands.
This is a letter written by Liu Feng himself, in which Liu Feng did not mention the grievances between him and Zhuge Liang before, but only said two questions.
First, Liu Feng showed Zhuge Liang that the land of Jiangdong was something he had to capture, and he would only seize Jiangdong before Wei, not after separating the victory or defeat with Wei.
Second, no matter what Zhuge Liang decides, Liu Chan's life will definitely be preserved in Jingzhou, and if Zhuge Liang leads the Jiangdong troops to surrender, the lives of all the Jiangdong soldiers, including Zhuge Liang himself, can be saved.
Zhuge Liang naturally knew that Liu Feng was a person who said the same, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when he took the letter in Lu Xun's hand, the people on his side already had a sense of the decision that Zhuge Liang was about to make, but no one said anything to refute it.
"Your Majesty has a word, if Mr. Kong Ming has any conditions, you can put it forward here, and today I represent my Majesty, what conditions can be agreed to, and what cannot, Xun knows in my heart."
I have to say that for an enemy who has been an enemy for more than ten years, Liu Feng can reach such a level to Zhuge Liang, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, at this time, Liu Feng is no longer the reckless young man who is less than twenty years old, he has the strength of a monarch, and at the same time has the mind that a monarch should have.
Zhuge Liang knew that this was another step that Liu Feng secretly gave himself, if he was asked to say directly in front of Jiangdong generals that he would dedicate Jiangdong to Liu Feng, it would undoubtedly make him majestic and sweep the ground, but in this way, as long as he put forward his own conditions, it was logical to express that he acquiesced in the fact that Jiangdong was dedicated to Liu Feng.
In the face of Lu Xun's words, Zhuge Liang swallowed his saliva again and again, and finally, after another ideological struggle, Zhuge Liang slowly opened his mouth: "First, the lives of Jiangdong soldiers must not be damaged; Second, Jiangdong is the territory of the young lord Liu Chan, and the young idea wants to dedicate this Jiangdong territory to Liu Chan, Liang and the Jiangdong generals have nothing to say, but about Liang himself, there is only one word for Liu Feng, from today on, although Jiangdong is owned by Liu Feng, but Zhuge Liang will not set up a plan for Liu Feng for the rest of his life, make a strategy, if he violates this statement, he is willing to judge himself to thank Liang for what he has learned in this life......"
With Zhuge Liang's short sentence, Jiangdong's fate has finally settled, this is a place that Liu Feng took the least amount of troops to capture, but it is also a place that Liu Feng took the longest time to capture, Zhuge Liang finally realized that without an excellent lord, even if he has talent and learning, it is useless, and for Liu Feng, he would rather retain his last meaning and dignity, because he knows that the people around Liu Feng are enough, and he was born to be a person who sends charcoal in the snow, not the icing on the cake.
