Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Lord of Koto

Zhuge Liang walked into the hall, Lu Su got up to greet him, but the person in the main seat only owed slightly.

Zhuge Liang slowly walked up, arched his hand and said, "General Zuo's envoy Zhuge Liang has seen General Sun", and looked up at Sun Quan's appearance by the way.

But I saw that Sun Quan was really like the rumors, he was born with purple hair and blue eyes, his eyes were fine, his mouth was big, and his appearance was strange and different from ordinary people.

Zhuge Liang thought to himself: "Fang Shao's kid said that Sun Quan doesn't look like my Chinese people, most of them were born because his mother had an affair with a foreign husband. ”

Over there, Lu Su said: "Lord, this is Mr. Kong Ming, known as Wolong, and he is a talented Jingxiang." ”

Sun Quan stroked his beard and smiled, looked Zhuge Liang up and down, and said: "Lone has long heard that Jingxiang Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I don't want Cao Jun to come, all of them are looking at the wind and descending, Mr. Kong Ming is young, but he is not afraid of strong enemies, and he has really won back some face for Jingxiang's talents, and Lone admires it very much." ”

Sun Quan's words were obviously appreciative, but secretly belittled the Jingxiang people as useless, and they spoke contemptuously as soon as they met, and they were really not easy to deal with.

Lu Su saw that his lord was not good at speaking, and he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would be angry, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Kong Ming is talented, he is really a genius in the world, and he is coming to see the lord today, and there is a joint plan to resist Cao to dedicate to the lord." ”

Sun Quan's expression remained unchanged, and he only said lightly: "If Mr. Kong Ming has a high opinion, he would like to hear it in detail." ”

"It seems that this person's surname is arrogant, and he is the type who eats hard and does not eat soft, okay, then don't blame me for giving you soft rice."

Zhuge Liang's face sank at the moment, and he brushed his sleeves and said: "Liang doesn't have any high opinions, it's just some big truths." Since the great turmoil in the sea, the general you raised troops in Jiangdong, and the lord of my family collected the people in Hannan to fight for the world with Cao thieves. Now Cao thief set the north, attacked Jingzhou, and shocked the four seas, and its momentum is like saying that the sky is also. And my father-in-law, only because Liu Cong surrendered to Cao, there was no place for heroes, so he traveled to Xiakou. If the general can compete with Cao's army with the power of Eastern Wu, it is better to break with him as soon as possible and fight to the death. If you don't dare, Liang feels that it is useless to say more, the general doesn't have to hurry up and dismiss the army, kneel on the ground and wait for surrender, then the Cao thief may be saved from the general's death. ”

Zhuge Liang's words were really harsh and straightforward, not only did Sun Quan's face turn blue when he heard it, but even Lu Su was so anxious that he glanced at him again and again, for fear that he would anger his own lord, so he pushed it out and beheaded him in a fit of anger.

But Zhuge Liang was spit with excitement, and even raised his feather fan, pointing at Sun Quan and said: "However, now the general you have hesitation in the name of obeying Cao Thief. Cao Jun went down the river, and it was so urgent in a blink of an eye, but the general was still hesitant, according to Liang's opinion, a catastrophe was coming soon. ”

Over there, Sun Quan was already exhaling through his nostrils, and Lu Su hurriedly explained: "Mr. Kong Ming is so straightforward, don't think it's strange to the lord." ”

If Sun Quan couldn't even resist these few disrespectful words, then these old guys like Zhang Zhao in Jiangdong who like to teach him a lesson at every turn would have been cut down for I don't know how many batches.

"Hmph, play with me, Zhuge Liang, it's not so easy to have fun with me."

Sun Quan immediately saw through Zhuge Liang's intentions, and he was not angry at the moment, but just sneered and said: "Mr. said well, but I just want to ask, since this is the case, why didn't Liu Yuzhou go to Cao Ying, Mr. is so high-minded, he should be persuaded first." ”

Zhuge Liang put away his generosity at this time, shook his head and said: "This is different, people are different. The lord of my family is a nobleman of the Han family, a man of great talent, and the admiration of all the people is like the trend of a river returning to the sea. Even if it is difficult to achieve a big thing in the end, it is also the will of heaven, not man-made, how can the lord succumb to Cao Thief Yinwei. ”

"You little white face! Your Liu Beishi can be killed but not humiliated, should my Sun Quan be a bad seed? Your Liu Xuande is a royal noble, and my grandson Quan is a wild species? ”

Sun Quan knew that Zhuge Liang was using the method of agitation, but he didn't know that he would be so outrageous, and he couldn't help but be moved, so he said excitedly: "Lonely has the land of Wu and commands 100,000 people, how can he be subject to Cao Ying, and Lone will be inseparable from this thief." ”

As soon as Sun Quan expressed his determination, the two people below were relieved, and Lu Su was even more happy: "The lord is wise!" ”

However, Sun Quan is not so easy to mess with, he just expressed his determination, and then said: "I have 100,000 people in Jiangdong, and I should be able to compete with Cao Thief." But I'm very worried about Uncle Liu Huang, you just fought a big defeat in Dangyang, and the sergeants were almost killed and wounded, what do you do now to fight against Cao Thief and tide over this difficulty? ”

Zhuge Liang had expected that Sun Quan would ridicule their weakness, and he didn't think so at the moment, and said with a smile: "Although my lord was defeated in Nagasaka, he was not defeated to the point of breaking his bones. Because there are 10,000 surviving soldiers and the navy led by Guan Yunchang, and there are no 10,000 people under the son of Liu Qi in Jiangxia. Cao Jun came from afar, pursued my master for a kilometer, and rode lightly for a hundred miles in one night, which was already the end of the crossbow, and committed a taboo in the soldiers. Moreover, Cao's army is all northerners, and they are not accustomed to water warfare, and the newly surrendered soldiers in Jingzhou have not yet been attached to it. If General Sun can work with my lord now, he will definitely be able to break the Cao army, and if the Cao army is defeated, Jingzhou and Jiangdong will turn from weak to strong, and the three-legged trend will be formed. The chance of success or failure lies in today's day, and I hope the general will make up his mind as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang's words returned to a normal tone, no longer as if he had eaten gunpowder, after all, no matter how much he did to fight for face in the early stage, but in the end, he still had to ask Sun Quan to send troops, which was also caused by the disparity in strength, and there was really no way to avoid it.

However, Zhuge Liang only said a few words, and pointed out the benefits that could be obtained in this battle for Sun Quan, Sun Quan pondered for a moment, and said: "Mr. said something, which doubled Gu's confidence. Mr. Please immediately send someone to report back to Liu Yuanjun, and if you don't say anything, you will send troops to the west and fight Cao Thief together with the envoy. ”

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, but said with a flat face: "Na Liang will arrange for someone to go back to Jiangxia first, and then come to see the general." ”

Zhuge Liang said goodbye and retired, and in the lobby, only Sun Quan and Lu Su were left.

Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh: "They are both brothers, Ziyu is so taciturn, but his younger brother is sharp-toothed, he really doesn't look like two brothers." ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Although Ziyu is not good at talking, he is good at political affairs, and he has his own advantages. It's just that when Su left before, the lord made it clear that he wanted to fight against Cao in alliance with Liu Bei, but he let Kong Ming play for a long time to make up his mind, which really scared Su into a cold sweat. ”

At this time, Sun Quan showed a smug look on his face and said: "Lian Lian or not is only counted by Gu and Liu Bei, do you think that Gu was really moved by Kong Ming's rhetoric, if Zijing thinks so, then he underestimates Gu." ”
