Zhuge Liang had just sat upright on top of the guest seat, and suddenly heard someone suddenly say: "I, Zhang Zhao is just a very inconspicuous scholar in Jiangdong, but I have also admired Mr. Kong Ming's name for a long time. I heard that when Mr. Kong Ming was in Longzhong, he compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Is this true? ”

Hearing Zhang Zhao speak, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile. In the past few days since he came to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang has not been idle, during this time, Zhuge Liang knows everything about Jiangdong very clearly, especially Zhang Zhao in front of him, he is the leader of the main faction. If he wants to achieve his goal and form an alliance with Sun Quan, the first thing he needs to do is Zhang Zhao. But Zhang Zhaonai is the first strategist in Jiangdong, and obviously it will not be easily solved.

As soon as Zhang Zhao spoke, Zhuge Liang immediately felt Zhang Zhao's fierce offensive. Zhang Zhao said that he was just an inconspicuous scholar in Jiangdong, but he said that he was better than Zhong Leyi and others yesterday, which was obviously a joke about his self-indulgence. Zhang Zhao is the first strategist in Jiangdong, and he must have a deep meaning when he says this.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Why should Mr. be arrogant, Mr. is an important minister in Jiangdong, and how can he be an inconspicuous scholar." If Mr. is an inconspicuous scholar, then I am afraid that I will be ashamed of myself. And this parable, this is just a small parable in my life. ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Zhang Zhao frown slightly, but Zhang Zhao obviously expected that Zhuge Liang was categorically difficult to deal with. As the so-called fame is not a vanity, Zhuge Liang's is really prestigious, such a celebrity, if he does not have some adaptability, how can he have such a great reputation.

However, Zhang Zhao had already thought of a way to deal with it, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then spoke again: "I heard that Liu Yuzhou looked at the grass house three times, and he was lucky to get Mr. He also said that after having a husband, he will be like a fish in water and make great achievements. However, now even Jingzhou, where you are stationed, has been taken away by Cao Cao, I don't know how you planned and decided? Zhang Zhao squinted, he was like a scheming hunter, bringing Zhuge Liang into the trap little by little.

"It is true that our army is now in a disadvantageous situation for the time being, but those defeats are caused by objective reasons. My lord Liu Yuzhou is benevolent and righteous, and he can't bear to seize the city of his brother Liu Jingzhou. And Liu Cong's kid listened to Cai Mao's slander and secretly surrendered. As for what strategy we will adopt next, this is a military secret. With all due respect! Zhuge Liang was the one who did not give in, and replied loudly.

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly, and then said: "In this way, Mr.'s words and deeds seem to be a little inconsistent!" As he spoke, Zhang Zhao's eyes narrowed again.

After a slight groan, Zhang Zhao spoke: "Mr. compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but what he did is really exaggerated. But as we all know, Guan Zhong helped Duke Qi Huan dominate the princes; Le Yi helped the weak Yan Kingdom and captured more than 70 cities in the Qi Kingdom. Both men have a talent for governing the country. ”

"And what about you, sir, if you are self-regulating and happy, then you should also eliminate harm for the common people and eliminate thieves. However, the fact is that before Liu Yuzhou got Mr., he was still able to win some battles and occupy some cities; Now I got Mr. but was beaten by Cao Cao and threw away his armor and fled everywhere. Along the way, he abandoned Xinye, went to Fancheng, defeated Dangyang, and went to Xiakou, and he didn't even have a place to live. Why is it better to get Mr. Yuzhou after Mr. than when he didn't get Mr.? I'm just a little straight to speak, and I hope Mr. won't be surprised! Although Zhang Zhao apologized, there was no apology in his tone.

On the contrary, instead of apologetic, Zhang Zhao's words were full of sarcasm. Not only Zhang Zhao, but the strategists in the entire council hall were snickering. Some people didn't pay attention and even laughed out loud. In the entire conference hall, the only strategist who didn't snicker, I'm afraid it was only Lu Su.

Zhang Zhao's question was really powerful, first holding Zhuge Liang very high, and then slamming Zhuge Liang to the ground. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's bearing is beyond ordinary people, if it were someone else, he must have already been smoked by the seven orifices of qi. And although Zhuge Liang didn't have seven tricks to smoke, he was obviously a little angry.

However, Zhuge Liang's restraint is still very strong, and he knows that if he is angry, then he will really be defeated. Immediately, Zhuge Liang smiled dumbly, and then said: "The Dapeng bird spreads its wings and soars thousands of miles, how can its ambition be known by those little birds?" For example, if someone is seriously ill, he should first be given some nutritional products such as millet porridge, and then take some mild tonics. When his appetite improves, he will eat some chicken, duck and fish to replenish his body. At this time, when the body is better, the elixir with strong medicinal properties can be used again. Otherwise, if you use fierce medicine at the beginning, you won't be blamed if you don't kill people! ”

Zhuge Liang's words were astonishing, and in one sentence, he compared all the scholars and strategists who laughed at him to birds. Hearing that Zhuge Liang's words were so sharp, His Royal Highness Lu Su finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lu Su obviously didn't expect that Zhuge Liang's words had not yet been finished.

I saw Zhuge Liang groaning slightly, and then spoke again: "My lord Uncle Liu Huang had to take refuge in Liu Biao after the defeat that year, and my lord was short of major generals at that time. There are only 1,000 soldiers, but no more than Guan Yu, Chen Dao. As for Xinye, it is just a temporary residence of my lord, Xinye is only a small county town, and there are few people, so there is even less food. Liu Yuzhou is just temporarily accommodating himself, can he really use the small place of Xinye to dominate one side? ”

"Even though there is a shortage of major generals, my lord is still not afraid of Cao Jun. Zhao Fei and Zhao Peng are famous all over the world, commanding battles, and can be described as invincible. is such a person, not still suffering defeat in Xinye. More than 10,000 Cao army elites, and finally fell in defeat and fled! I think Guan Zhong and Le Yi's use of troops may be nothing more than that. ”

"Moreover, being outnumbered and winning or losing for a moment are all common things. Previously, Gaozu was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, but he won the final victory in the next battle, and this was because of the fact that he was assisted by a truly strategic hero like Han Xin. Unlike some people who talk rhetorically, no one can compare to sitting at home and talking, but they can't really think of any way to make suggestions on the battlefield. This is really funny to the world. ”

Zhuge Liang's remarks made the Jiangdong strategists in the council hall somewhat dumbfounded, and the situation on the battlefield was indeed changing rapidly. Just now, Zhang Zhao was far ahead, but looking at it now, Zhang Zhao's face was flushed at the moment, and he obviously didn't know how he should reply to Zhuge Liang's remarks.

"Now Cao's army is numbering hundreds of thousands, with many soldiers and generals, and plenty of food and grass. Cao's army marched south, and the momentum was like a rainbow. If Cao Jun conquers Jiangxia in one fell swoop, I am afraid that Uncle Huang will flee again! There was a moment of silence in the chamber before someone spoke again.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately knew who the person who spoke was, and this person was Yu Xuan. Yu Chuan is also a heavyweight strategist in Jiangdong. Shen Yi Xia Zhuge Liang replied: "Cao Jun is just a rabble, even if he has an army of hundreds of thousands, there is nothing to fear!" ”

Yu Fan sneered slightly, and then said: "You have been defeated repeatedly, and you have retreated to Jiangxia from Xinye to Jiangxia. Now that Jiangxia is still precarious, you are embarrassed to say that you are not afraid. Even if it's a big talk, there is no need to exaggerate it so much! ”

"My lord Liu Yuzhou only has an army of a few thousand people, and he is not afraid of Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army, and your Eastern Wu soldiers are full of food, and the Yangtze River is dangerous as a barrier, but everyone is afraid to death, and everyone wants to persuade their lord to surrender on his knees, you are so cowardly as a mouse, what face do you have in the world?" Zhuge Liang then said coldly. And his words were obviously very sharp, which made Yu Fan not know how to answer. At this moment, Yu Fu was like a defeated rooster, and lowered his head.

Then, Bu Qi, Xue Zong, Lu Ji, Yan Jian and others successively spoke out to debate with Zhuge Liang, they were also sharp, but none of them could compete with Zhuge Liang. is often full of one or two sentences, and everyone is speechless by Zhuge Liang.

Your Highness, looking at the development of the gaffe, Lu Su's eyes gradually lit up. Not to mention anything else, Zhuge Liang's eloquence is really unparalleled in the world, and Jiangdong has almost exhausted all his strategists, but no one can argue with Zhuge Liang. Looking at Zhuge Liang, who was full of energy, Lu Su also faintly had some fighting spirit in his heart.

However, Lu Su still shook his head helplessly, this is not the time to be competitive, what he needs to do now is to unite all the forces that can be united to fight against Cao Jun, after all, the threat of Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops is still there.

Seeing Zhuge Liang exerting his might and making the Jiangdong ministers speechless, Sun Quan obviously had a different idea. This Zhuge Liang is really a talent, not to mention anything else, this debate is really unparalleled in the world. Why didn't such a talented person join his command?

Zhuge Liang's reply was like a stream, and the people of the main faction were incomplete. In this regard, the main faction naturally did not like it. No, a few more people wanted to get up and wanted to come forward to debate with Zhuge Liang. And at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Kong Ming is a genius in the world, but you make things difficult for him in every way, you don't know how to be polite. Now that Cao Cao's army is pressing, you don't think about the strategy to deal with the enemy, but you are playing tricks here, do you think it's interesting? When they heard the sound, they looked at it and saw that this man was Huang Gai.

Although Huang Gai is all the grain officials of Eastern Wu, his identity is obviously transcendent. Huang Gai is the three monarchs of Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan, and he is a veritable third-generation veteran. Such a person spoke to defend Zhuge Liang, which made it difficult for the Jiangdong ministers to come forward to argue with Zhuge Liang again.

And Zhuge Liang also breathed a sigh of relief, he seemed to be coping with it like a stream, and the wind was light. But only you know the risks involved. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be in vain.
