Sun Quan smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Quan Fan's eyes are stupid, and he doesn't know the wise man so far, which is rude." ”

Zhuge Liang also bowed down and said: "This is Mr. Shuijing's joke back then, Wu Hou must not take it seriously, Liang Shan Ye is a lazy man, he is only shallow in learning, and under his fame, it is actually difficult to bear." ”

Sun Quan said: "Sima Decao is a master in the world, how can he lie to him? I don't know what Mr. has to say about the general trend of the world, I hope that Mr. will not abandon his contempt and give teachings. ”

Zhuge Liang prevaricated: "Liang is just a cultivator, he doesn't know how to govern the country and the people, and he dares to talk about the world's major affairs?" ”

Sun Quan pleaded again and again, and Zhuge Jin also said: "The second brother might as well try to say, Wu Hou is not an outsider, but he just wants to hear the opinion of the second brother." ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Hou has a life, don't dare to obey it, just show his own words, Wu Hou will listen to it, if there is anything inappropriate, please also ask Wu Hou Haihan." ”

"Sir does not hesitate to teach, and he has the right to listen to him." Sun Quan said.

Zhuge Liang held the feather fan, shook it lightly twice, and said: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world's heroes have risen together. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought each other in Hebei, Cao must win and Yuan must be defeated, the unification of the north has been unstoppable, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the army is strong, and no one can compete with it. Liu Ze of Xuzhou, starting from the coast of the East China Sea, swept Huainan and Jingxiang, and swept north of the Yangtze River, unstoppable. These two people are a generation of male masters, and the rest such as Yizhou Liu Zhang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and Xiliang Ma Teng are doing nothing. Wu Hou Shi according to Jiangdong, the country is dangerous and the people are attached, this sincerity is the foundation of the world. Now that Liu Ze has obtained the northern border of Jingxiang, Wu Hou must not take it lightly. If Liu Zequan takes Jingzhou, he will share the risk of the Yangtze River with Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's advantage will no longer exist. It is foolish to think that Wu Hou should immediately send troops, take advantage of Liu Ze's flawless southern appearance, seize the four counties of Jingnan, and not compete with them for the time being, in order to seek to divide the river and rule, as long as Wu Hou sits on half of the south of the Yangtze River and repairs the political affairs inside. External solid river defense. You can be invincible. Although Cao Cao and Liu Ze have an agreement of non-aggression against each other, how can a piece of paper stop Cao Cao's ambition? Within a few years, Cao Liu will inevitably compete. These two tigers are fighting. There will be a wound. Even if both sides are defeated, Wu Hou can take advantage of the gap and go on a northern expedition, and the world can be determined in one fell swoop. ”

Zhuge Liang said. sketched a blueprint for Sun Quan to dominate the world, and Sun Quan was drunk and obsessed. In Zhuge Liang's macro concept, the key point is to divide the river and govern, in order to achieve this goal, Jiangdong must take action, take advantage of Liu Ze's foothold in Jingzhou is not stable, seize the tiger's mouth, and snatch Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang in the four counties of Jingnan that Liu Ze has not yet touched, and rely on Jiangdong's strong naval force to defend the river and block Liu Ze's army north of the Yangtze River, so that Sun Quan can easily sit on half of the south of the Yangtze River. The next thing Sun Quan has to do is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when Cao Cao and Liu Ze fight to the point that they are both defeated, they will send troops to the Northern Expedition, and they can easily take the world.

Zhuge Liang's strategy is to avoid the real and the virtual, not to do a head-on conflict with the Xuzhou army, with the current overall strength of the Jiangdong Army, the naval army occupies an advantage, and the army occupies a disadvantage, Zhuge Liang built yì Sun Quan first to take the four counties of Jingnan, that is, to make use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, capture Jingnan, rely on the superior naval forces, block the Yangtze River waterway, and complete the strategic goal of dividing the river and governing. Zhuge is only cautious in his life, his strategic concept put forward by Sun Quan undoubtedly highlights this, Xuzhou is the best in the world, this sincerity can not compete with it, if Jiangdong wants to gain the upper hand in Jingzhou's struggle, it is necessary to promote their own strengths, avoid their own shortcomings, Jiangdong Army's naval advantage is obvious, then give full play to the advantages of the naval army, do not compete with the Xuzhou Army in Jingbei and turn to Jingnan, row the river and rule, fight against the court, use the Yangtze River as a natural barrier to curb the southward advance of the Xuzhou Army, once the world changes, and then move, Don't use dangerous tricks, don't be greedy for merit, step by step, steady and steady, for Jiangdong, which does not occupy an advantage at present, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

Sun Quan listened to it, secretly surprised, and said in his heart that this Wolong really has a genius, and immediately bowed and said: "Mr. Jin Yu has good words, Quan has been taught." Mr. is a genius in the world, if he can bend to Jiangdong, it will be a blessing for all the people of Jiangdong. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said: "Liang is a scattered person, he is used to being free, and he only wishes that the idle clouds and wild cranes will be exiled to the rivers and lakes, and his fame and wealth will be like floating clouds with me." Today I only came to visit my brother, and since my brother is fine, Liang will return here, and there will be a period later. ”

Lu Su comforted: "Mr. Kong Ming has the talent to help the world, if he is exiled to the mountains, it will not be a pearl hidden, and it will not be a blessing for the society." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so Brother Zijing doesn't have to stay bright." ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was very determined, how could Sun Quan, who was eager for talent, let go of this opportunity, and secretly cast a look at Zhuge Jin and asked him to come forward to persuade Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Jin understood and said to Zhuge Liang: "If Wu Hou Sixian is thirsty, if the second brother stays in Jiangdong, he will definitely be able to show what he has learned in his life, won't the second brother hear about Uncle Boyi?" Although they starved to death at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, the two brothers were not separated. If you and I can work together in Jiangdong, we can get together at dusk, and we will not lose our flesh and blood affection. This is the wish of the elder brother, and I hope that the second brother will not quit. ”

"This ......," Zhuge Liang muttered.

Sun Quan said: "Mr. is interested in Lin Quan, Quan Ben did not dare to forcibly stay, but now Xiangyang has been based on Liu Ze, a certain often heard that Liu Ze is close to pawn and evil soldiers, if Mr. returns to Xiangyang, I am afraid that Liu Ze will be harmed, so please Mr. temporarily live in Jiangdong, and it is not too late to return to his hometown when the situation in Jingxiang is stable." Since Mr. has no intention of pursuing a career in office, Quan does not dare to impose an official position, but please ask Mr. as a guest, and Quan can also ask for advice sooner or later, when Mr. will stay, but by respect. ”

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and it seemed that there was indeed no good place to go now, so he said: "Favored by Marquis Wu, show your power and stay for a few days, and then resign after Jingzhou is stable." ”

Sun Quan saw that Zhuge Liang agreed to stay temporarily, so he was slightly relieved, and after a few cold words, he said goodbye to Lu Su and left.

Zhuge Jin saw that Zhuge Liang was unhappy, so he said: "Wu Hou is a great talent, he is a rare master in a hundred years, the second brother has the talent of Wang Zuo, and he will be able to show his lifelong ambitions in Jiangdong, why do you insist on leaving, is there another master in the second brother's heart?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Wu Hou can be the master, but looking at his degree, he can be virtuous but not all bright, not to mention that Jiangdong Junjie is like a cloud and heroic, and there are Zhang Zhaowu and Zhou Yu, they are all great talents in governing the country and rejuvenating the country, it is useless for me to stay, it is better to go early." ”

Zhuge Jin said with a smile: "The second brother is too worried, Zibu Gongjin is magnanimous and elegant, they are all ministers of the society, and they get along very harmoniously with them for the sake of the brother, if the second brother is willing to serve Wu Hou, he will also get along well with the ministers." What's more, the war in Xiangyang continues, and the second brother should not return at this time, and stay in Jiangdong, thinking that it is the best policy. What's more, Wu Hou also promised the second brother to stay for his own convenience, if he comes, he will be safe, the second brother might as well take a walk and see, if he stays if he is not together, he will go, I don't know what the second brother wants? ”

Zhuge Liang only felt depressed in his chest, and he didn't answer Zhu Jin's words, but said: "My brother's body is not yet healthy, and he still needs to recuperate, so Liang will retire first." ”

Zhuge Jin said: "The second brother has come from afar, and he hasn't eaten yet, right?" He immediately instructed the steward to prepare a meal for Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang did not eat, but walked along, unconsciously out of Jianye City and to the Yangtze River.

Looking at the vast smoke and waves of the Yangtze River in the distance, a flat boat in the river drifts with the waves, Zhuge Liang stands in the river, staring at it for a long time.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

After Sun Quan returned home, he was depressed in his heart, and sighed heavily, in his opinion, Zhuge Liang is definitely a rare talent, just his views on dividing the river and ruling Jiangdong are few people can match, if Sun Ce, who is open up and expanding the territory, may not be impressed by Zhuge Liang's remarks, but for Sun Quan, who is holding on to success, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for him. But Sun Quan can also see that Zhuge Liang has no intention of becoming a leader, at least he does not want to belong to Jiangdong, which makes Sun Quan a little nerve-wracking, a talent like Zhuge Liang is what he has been longing for for a long time, and it is a big regret in life to meet it.

Lu Su had been following behind Sun Quan, and when he saw Sun Quan's gloomy expression, he said: "What the lord thinks, is it because Kong Ming refuses to submit?" ”

Sun Quan sighed softly and said, "Such a brilliant talent, it is the blessing of Jiangdong to gain it, and it is the regret of Jiangdong to lose it." ”

Lu Su's expression was slightly stern and said: "My subordinates have just received a secret report from Jingbei, Liu Ze did not rush to attack Xiangyang after crossing the Han River in the south but went to Kong Ming's hometown in Longzhong, presumably Liu Ze also heard that Kong Ming was a genius in the world, so he did not hesitate to condescend to Corporal Lixian, and the lord must not let Kong Ming return to Jingzhou, otherwise it will be obtained by Liu Ze and will be a strong enemy of Jiangdong." ”

Sun Quan frowned when he heard this, and said, "What does Zijing think of Kong Ming's strategy?" ”

Lu Su said: "Take the land of Jingnan, and Liu Ze to divide the river and rule, without adding swords, the lord can sit on half of the country, be invincible, when the world changes, the lord can wave the Northern Expedition, as it is, the great cause can be determined." Kong Ming's high theory, Jiangdong ministers, no one can match, for the lord, this policy is the best policy. ”

Sun Quan also nodded, obviously he also agreed with Zhuge Liang's strategy, and then said with a little regret: "It's just that Kong Ming often has the intention of going, so what?" ”

Lu Su said: "Doesn't the lord hear the argument of letting 'everyone' and 'national soldiers'? Liu Ze is willing to put down his body and take care of the grass house, why don't the lord take effect, give him a generous grace to tie his heart, Kong Ming feels that his sincerity will be happy and convinced, and he will be under the command of the lord. ”

Sun Quan smiled and said: "What Zijing said is extremely true, Kong Ming is a genius in the world, and he should be respected and treated with kindness. ”

At this time, the doorman came to report: "The lord of Qiqi, the governor Zhou Yu is waiting outside." (To be continued......)
