Chapter 589: Cao Cao's wife
"No matter what the general means, he thinks so highly of Lu Su. Lu Su got it, just. Lu Su shook his head and said.
It's not explicit, but attitude is everything.
"I know." Kou Feng's attitude did not change, and he still smiled and nodded.
At this time, Kou Feng would not mention that Lu Su gave up Yuan Shu and defected to Sun Ce, which originally belonged to Sun Ce, and Sun Quan was not a person at all.
The man was arrogant. And Sun Quan is also a Ming Jun. It is different from now that Lu Su gave up Sun Quan and defected to him.
If you mention it, it will hurt your feelings.
Looking at Lu Su's current attitude, Kou Feng knew that his performance was not bad, and stabilized Lu Su. Kou Feng didn't want to mess up the relaxed atmosphere that he had worked so hard to build.
"It's just that what if Jiangdong is defeated and Sun Quan is captured? When the time comes, does Zijing want to be an ownerless and lonely minister, or is he a die-hard loyalist and martyr himself? Of course, Kou Feng had another way, and couldn't help asking.
If Jiangdong is defeated, Sun Quan will be captured. Where should Lu Su go from here?
Lu Su had never thought about this question, and in his belief, he never thought that Jiangdong would be defeated. The third is Mingjun, and the third is development.
Jiangdong is open-minded, and there has never been such an unstable situation. Even if he was as powerful as Cao Cao and led an army of 800,000 to the south, Lu Su's confidence never wavered.
But looking at Kou Feng's confident face in front of him, Lu Su's heart shook for the first time. If Jiangdong is defeated, where should he go?
Do you want to thank Sun Quan for yourself? Lu Su felt that he would not, although his friend Zhou Yu was loyal to the Sun clan and was able to kill himself to thank him for his martyrdom. He was just as faithful, but he couldn't kill himself.
After all, Lu Su is different from Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu has a good relationship with Sun Ce, and he has the obligation to help Sun Quan.
Seeing that Lu Su was shaken, Kou Feng smiled in his heart and took out a large map that had been prepared from the case.
The material of the map is white cloth, and the top is a landscape painting. When it was spread out, it was the size of a small bed. It is a map of the southeast area, including Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and the sea.
The boundaries of these four sides were drawn by Kou Feng based on the map in his memory, and the other cities and regions were added by Kou Feng according to various information.
This map is pretty good for this era. After all, the boundaries are marked. There is no general map. The people of the Han Dynasty could know how big the place they ruled, but they could not measure the boundaries and draw them.
But the focus of Kou Feng's map is not on this border, but on the huge island outside the border between Jiangdong and the sea.
Looking at the terrain, it is a little larger than Wu County in Jiangdong, and it is shockingly large.
Kou Feng stood up and flattened the map on the ground. so that Lu Su, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao can see it clearly.
"Do not let what you say today reach the ears of the fifth." Kou Feng first reminded Kuai Yue and Cai Mao.
Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, and Lu Su are all first-class people with first-class IQs, and they can guess some situations by looking at the map. Such a large area, even bigger than Wu County.
plus Kou Feng's words. Suddenly, it makes people think about it.
Especially Lu Su was even more shocked, and a terrifying light burst out of his eyes.
Overseas, there are islands. Could this be the legendary Yizhou? Rumors of Yizhou have been around since ancient times. Lu Su learned five cars, and he also knew some about it. So Lu Su knew that it was Yizhou when he looked at the location, but there was no clear record when he came out, and this Yizhou would be so big.
Larger than Kure. How many soldiers and horses can be hidden? Lu Su knew that this Wu County had fed a population of more than 100,000, and it was still very much. It is estimated that it will grow to its peak and can feed hundreds of thousands of people.
In other words, this island can support hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This is of course a bit exaggerated, just a concept.
Even if there are 5,000 troops stationed here, if you have luck and opportunity, you can sneak attack Wu County. It can also break through Wu County.
Since that day, the commander of the naval army of Kou Feng drove straight into Moling, Sun Quan attached great importance to the defense of the river, and not only hoarded heavy troops at the mouth of the lake.
And a beacon tower was set up along the road, as long as Gan Ning's sailors were killed, they would immediately light a beacon fire. And send a general to intercept.
In addition to the Hukou area, Jiangdong also had a serious illness in Yuzhang. Yuzhang's city is also tall enough to defend it. In addition, in the Luling generation, there is also the general Tai Shici to guard it.
In addition, now that Sun Quan is allied with Cao Cao, Li Dian's army can cross the Yangtze River at any time and garrison Yuzhang.
These three points constitute a comprehensive defense of Jingzhou. It can be said to be like an iron bucket. It doesn't matter if it's a shrunken turtle, or it's a lingering breath.
Jiangdong is in Lusu, and in Zhou Yu's opinion, it is still a little saved. This is also the reason why Zhou Yu insisted on letting Lu Su go back. But I didn't expect that the shell of this shrunken turtle was like tofu scum in Kou Feng's eyes.
The knife stabbed under the stomach, and no amount of hard shell could do anything. At this moment, Lu Su also understood how Kou Feng escaped.
There is such a big island in the sea, it is strange that you can't escape it.
At this moment, Lu Su felt a great sadness, Zhou Yu and him, Sun Quan insisted on protecting Jiangdong, but in front of Kou Cover, it was actually a joke.
"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the general has stationed in this Yizhou?" Lu Su smiled bitterly and asked, pointing to the map.
Kuai Yue, Cai Mao Yale looked at Kou Feng with a look of interest. Although the two of them have different purposes, they are very excited at this moment.
If Jiangdong can be fully in the hands of Kou Feng, then Kou Feng's power will really reach the Warring States Period, and the Chu State will be so powerful.
With the strength of one country, it is enough to resist the crowd.
"Twenty thousand. Plus food is plentiful. Seeing Lu Su's expression, Kou Feng knew that he had made the right bet again. completely crushed the illusion of Jiangdong in Lu Su's heart, and raised two fingers with a smile.
"But with the convenience of merchant ships, and slowly settle over?" Lu Su was taken aback, and then said even more bitterly.
"It was when Sun Quan was busy suppressing the Shanyue rebellion, and he transferred it all at once. And it also piggybacked hundreds of thousands of people. Kou Feng said with a smile.
Speaking of this Shanyue, Kou Feng's heart was full of pleasant feelings. This person, who can be said to be an ally of Kou Feng, fought with Jiangdong on the one hand, and gave him a rich population of 600,000 on the other.
It also brought him the opportunity to hide from the world and immigrate hundreds of thousands. It can be said that they are very helpful.
"Hundreds of thousands?" Whether it was Lu Su or Kuai Yue, Cai Mao was dumbfounded. If it is said that Kou Feng has 5,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses in this Yizhou. Sun Quan is still saved.
After all, the more soldiers and horses are fighting, the fewer they are. But Kou Feng still has hundreds of thousands of people as their backing. This, this. So what chance is there to turn over.
At this moment, the illusion in Lu Su's heart was shattered.
Lu Su smiled bitterly and raised his fist at Kou Feng and said: "The general has this hand, even if Gong Jin and tens of thousands of troops are still there." It's not enough to resist, not to mention that now tens of thousands of troops are in ashes. There are not many troops in Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's defeat is close at hand. Lu Su had nothing to say. ”
Kou Feng's various methods are much stronger than Sun Quan. This is a knife in the back, and it is even more fatal. No wonder Kou Feng is so confident.
Ask him where he will go if Jiangdong is defeated.
"Let me ask again, if Jiangdong is defeated, I don't know where Zijing will go?" Seeing Lu Su's expression in shock, Kou Feng took the opportunity to ask again, with incomparable decadence.
Lu Su was silent for a moment before he took a deep breath, raised his fist and said to Kou Feng: "Let's talk about it then." Saying this, Lu Su paused, and said resolutely: "As long as Wu Hou still holds Jiangdong, Lu Su is Wu Chen." ”
This is Lu Su's fortitude and the duty of the minister. Unless the country dies, it will be difficult to obey it.
But for Kou Feng, this sentence means that Lu Su has been in his pocket, and the country is dead? If you want to die in Jiangdong, it only takes a little time to achieve it.
Lu Su was destined to become his advisor.
"Okay, then I won't force it, I'll talk about it then." Kou Feng said with a smile. Then, Kou Feng chatted with Lu Su, Cai Mao, and Kuai Yue, originally wanting to get closer to Lu Su.
But Lu Su's mood was never high, and he looked a little decadent. After Kou Feng said a few words, he asked Kuai Yue to settle Lu Su.
placed Lu Su and Xu Huang together.
Although this Lu Su is calm, he has a demeanor. But why does the lord value it so much? After Kuai Yue took Lu Su away, Cai Mao couldn't help asking.
knew that Kou Feng valued Lu Su, but when he saw it today, it was even worse. Cai Mao was a little confused.
"The talent of his people is much higher than the difference." Kou Feng shook his head, and Jian was shocked.
Kuai Yue helped Liu Biao, who came to Jingzhou single-handedly, to stabilize Jingzhou and push him to the position of the lord of Jingzhou. Intelligence is not lacking. But Lu Su is much higher than Kuai Yue.
Cai Mao's eyes were full of horror. He didn't think that Kou Feng was untargeted, which also explained the reason why Kou Feng attached so much importance to Lu Su.
Kou Feng conquered Xiangyang in one day, this is a myth. It is also an incredible thing for many people. At the beginning of the war, the people north of Xiangyang, Shangyong, Fancheng, and Xinye did not feel much.
Because Cao Cao's officials were trying their best to promote the solidity of Xiangyang and appease a generation of people, it also made this area very stable.
It's business as usual.
Because of this, when the news of Kou Feng's attack on Xiangyang within a day came out, it caught people off guard. Many scholars and officials loyal to the Cao clan fled the area and went to the north.
The two counties and the four cities that Kou Feng sent Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Huang Zhong to seize were all chaotic.
And in addition to the ordinary people who thought Xiangyang was strong, there was another person, Cao Cao's original partner, Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding has a sister-in-law, who is married to a child of a scholar clan in the Fancheng area.
Mrs. Ding has been coming to live for a long time, and it has been about half a year. Because Cao Cao vigorously propagandized, Xiangyang was very strong.
When the news of the defeat came, she was also caught off guard and did not have time to retreat.
