"But, but ......" Sun Shangxiang was speechless, a little anxious for a while.

Fang Shao was also inspired by feelings, after all, she was a daughter in the family, and it seemed a little cruel to let her fall into these cruel politics, so Fang Shao took her hand and smiled and said with relief: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, General Sun is also a master after all, he will eventually understand that it is not beneficial for anyone to kill you or me." Rest assured, I think this war will not be over soon. ”

Sun Shangxiang was surrounded by Fang Shao, and now she actually believes that the root of this dispute is the greed of his second brother Sun Quan, but Liu Xuande is a person who "understands righteousness", and after listening to Fang Shao's persuasion, Sun Shangxiang began to feel a little ashamed of Sun Quan.

So, she snuggled into Fang Shao's arms and muttered: "I hope the war can end sooner, Fang Lang, please give Liu Xuande some more words, and persuade him to think of reconciliation between the two families, our enemy is Cao Lao Thief, and he really shouldn't kill each other anymore." ”

"Of course, I will definitely persuade the lord more."

Fang Shao stroked her hair and swore a promise, but sighed in his heart: "Alas, this eldest lady is really not easy to coax." ”

The feather fan shook lightly and pointed out the country, but the development of the situation was not as simple as planning.

Liu and Sun's two families confronted each other on the front line of Nanjiang and Xia, and neither of them dared to take the initiative to launch a strategic Armageddon, Liu Bei's side certainly had other ideas, and Sun Quan's side did not dare to bet all his belongings in a battle, which in itself did not conform to his surname.

However, although there is no possibility of a big war breaking out for the time being, the skirmishes between the two sides have intensified, today Sun Quan sent more than 1,000 sneak attack troops, sneaked into the upstream and burned Liu Bei's grain ship, and tomorrow Liu Bei will take advantage of the night to sneak in on the water village with Shenwei cannons and destroy several of your giant ships. Sun Quan then ordered Lü Meng, who had retreated into Jiaozhou, to launch a flank attack on Guiyang County, while Liu Bei had to send Huang Zhong to lead a partial division into the three southern counties again to deal with Lü Meng's harassment.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other in Jingzhou for more than a month, and the time entered the end of November, when everyone did not know how long this stalemate war would last, a shocking news suddenly broke the strategic balance between the two sides.

In the middle of November of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Cao Yinghu led an army of 100,000, known as 400,000 foot riders, from Qiaoxian County to Xuzhou, and transferred to Hefei by waterway, wanting to cross Chaohu Lake and take Jiangdong directly.

On this day, Sun Quan was training an upcoming army in the water village outside Shaxian City, and this 2,000-strong naval army would be ordered to carry out a surprise attack on Guan Yu's troops west of Xiakou in retaliation for Liu Bei's previous night sneak attack.

When Sun Quan was waving his horsewhip and standing on the hillside near the shore to give a lecture to the soldiers who were about to board the ship, he galloped over, turned over and dismounted and fell in front of Sun Quan's saddle, and whispered a few words.

In an instant, a look of shock flashed across Sun Quan's face, but he regained his composure for a moment, and then completed his lecture again, watching their warriors set off with expectant eyes.

Then, Sun Quan rode his horse straight to his Chinese army's big tent, and immediately ordered the civil and military ministers who were in Shaxian to come to discuss the matter quickly.

After a short time, Huang Gai, Sun Yu, Gan Ning, Lu Fan and other generals all came in a hurry, and when everyone saw Sun Quan's heavy face, they guessed that something important must have happened.

Seeing all the generals gathered, Sun Quan took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, Lone just received the news from Lujiang County, Cao Ying's 100,000 army has arrived in Hefei, and there are ten ** ready to invade my Jiangdong, Lone is calling for this matter to summon Er and others to come, how do you think to deal with it." ”

As soon as Sun Quan's words came out, everyone present was shocked. The tent became silent when it was neutral, and everyone was silent.

Sun Quan saw that everyone didn't squeak, his heart became angry, and he frowned and reprimanded: "You guys are talking, why are they all dumb, didn't you instigate the lonely army to fight Liu Bei at the beginning, now Cao Ying is taking advantage of the south to attack, Lone is already being attacked on both sides, such a predicament, how can you call Lone!" ”

Sun Quan scolded everyone, and the person who was accustomed to his surname put the responsibility for causing such a predicament on his courtiers, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally Huang Gai, the representative of the main battle faction.

Huang Gai also knew that Sun Quan's ugly words, although he did not specify his surname, but most of them were aimed at himself, Huang Gai was self-blaming and emotional, and he regretted that he should not have considered it carefully, so he persuaded Sun Quan to come with a national army, but what he felt was that he remembered his former comrade-in-arms Zhou Yu, if Zhou Lang was there, it would definitely not make Dongwu fall into such an embattled situation.

After thinking about it, Huang Gai felt that it was not a way to remain silent like this, so he volunteered and said angrily: "Lord, Gai is willing to lead an army back to Jiangdong to stop Cao Thief." ”

At this time, Sun Yu said: "The Cao army is menacing this time, I am afraid that it will not be easy to resist even if the troops of Jiangdong are exhausted, and if I only rely on General Huang Gai to lead the partial division to help, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help." ”

Na Gan Ning also said: "General Sun's words are reasonable, according to Ning's opinion, if you send an army back to the division first, relying on the danger of my Jiangdong rivers, it is expected that you can delay the Cao army for a while, and the lord will quickly raise the army, fight to the death with that Liu Bei, and then quickly return to Jiangdong after Liu Bei is defeated." When Cao Ying saw that our army was victorious, he would inevitably retreat without a fight. ”

Everyone, you say a word, it seems that there are many schemes, but no one can satisfy Sun Quan, facing the disputed generals, Sun Quan can only secretly shake his head and sigh.

The change in Sun Quan's mood, Lu Su, who was hiding among the generals, saw it clearly.

This defeat on the Western Front caused Lu Su to be stripped of his military power, and now he is only transferred back to Sun Quan's side as a counselor, and since the beginning of the war, Sun Quan has not consulted him, obviously preparing to leave him out in the cold.

But now, Lu Su seems to have seen a glimmer of hope in despair.

When the public was powerless to quarrel anymore, Lu Su, who had been silent for a long time, slowly stood up and said to Sun Quan indifferently: "Lord, there is a strategy to solve the danger of hanging in my Jiangdong." ”

The quarrel stopped in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on this former Grand Governor who was once beautiful, but now he was left out in the cold.

Sun Quan's expression was also inspired, if he said that when he saw Lu Su before, he had a lot of disgust in his heart, but at this time, when he saw him come out, the disgust in his heart was swept away, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "I know that among my Jiangdong heroes, only Zijing you have the most strategy, Zijing you have a good strategy to break the enemy, you can come quickly." ”

Lu Su said: "With my Jiangdong military strength, whether it is Liu Bei or Cao Ying, we can only deal with one of them, and the plan of dividing the troops will only make me lose on both sides, and the situation will only be worse." As for the quick victory over Liu Bei, and then the strategy of returning to help, Su thought that it was impossible, and now Liu Bei is not only according to the upstream trend, but also better than us in terms of troops, not to mention that it is also equipped with a sharp weapon for throwing stones, with these three advantages, how can we win quickly? ”

Lu Su's words made Sun Quan nod again and again, and praised: "It's still thoughtful." ”

Sun Quan's attitude changed so quickly that it was faster than the weather in the south of the Yangtze River, and Lu Su's face gradually became a little proud, and he continued: "Therefore, Su thinks that the only choice to solve the danger in my Jiangdong is to make peace with Liu Bei immediately, and then lead the whole army to the east to fight against Cao Ying." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked again, including Sun Quan, who was also surprised.

Of course, Lu Su knew what they were thinking, so he didn't wait for them to refute it, and followed: "The enmity with Liu Bei will be avenged sooner or later, but it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and now in the face of a big enemy like Cao Ying, what if he temporarily forbears and puts down Liu Bei's enmity first." Moreover, uniting with Liu Bei, resisting Cao Ying, and using two weak enemies and one strong, was originally the general strategy of my Eastern Wu, but some people were short-sighted and encouraged the lord to attack Jingzhou, which led to the ruin of the alliance today, making my Eastern Wu the common enemy of Liu and Cao. Therefore, for the sake of today's situation, only by rebuilding the old friendship with Liu Bei and readjusting the strategy of our Eastern Wu to the correct direction of joining Liu and Cao can we solve the current predicament. ”

Lu Su's words made Sun Quan fall into deep thought, in fact, when he heard the news of Cao Ying's southern attack, Sun Quan had such a plan in his heart, and Lu Su just had a pair of extremely insightful eyes, able to accurately understand his mind at the right time.

After weighing it in silence for a long time, Sun Quan shook his head and sighed, and said, "So far, that's the only way to go. Zijing, you are responsible for this peace negotiation with Liu Bei. ”

Three days later, Lukou.

In the military tent, Liu Bei was discussing with Fang Shao and others, and suddenly, Huang Quan rushed into the tent and said to Liu Bei with a happy face: "Congratulations to the lord, great news." ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Gongheng is so happy." ”

Huang Quan presented a report and said: "I just received information from Jiangbei, Cao Ying has sent troops south, and the soldiers and horses are estimated to have left Hefei at this time, my lord, isn't this great news?" ”

Everyone was shocked, Liu Bei was also overjoyed, and hurriedly unfolded the report to take a closer look, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, Zhongzheng, as you expected, Cao Ying really sent troops!" ”

Everyone's eyes were on Fang Shao, and their expressions were full of admiration.

I think half a year ago, Fang Shao had predicted that Cao Ying would inevitably attack Jiangdong again, at that time, many people thought that this was taken for granted, but now, after half a year, Fang Shao's prophecy has really come true, such a demonic inference ability, it is really shocking, how can they not be impressed.

Enjoying everyone's amazed gazes, Fang Shao was quite proud in his heart, but his face was calm and indifferent, and he said with a smile: "Since Cao Ying has sent troops, then according to Shao's opinion, Sun Quan's envoy is afraid that it will come in a blink of an eye." ”

Before the words fell, the guards outside the tent entered and played: "Lord Qi, Zhuge Jin of Dongwu has come to ask for a meeting." ”
