Although Jiangxia has some strength, it is absolutely difficult to resist the Cao army with Jiangxia's Xu troops, although Zhuge Liang knows that the Cao army may not put Xinye's Liu Bei in his eyes, but this matter has to be guarded against, if the Cao army really intends to attack Jiangxia, Jiangdong will not be defeated.

However, in Lu Su's words, Zhuge Liang still heard something very useful, Lu Su said that Sun Quan had ordered Zhou Yu to return to Wu County, why did Lu Su suddenly propose Zhou Yu, obviously, one is to highlight Zhou Yu's status in Jiangdong, and the other is to explain to himself that Sun Quan intends to fight to the death with Cao Jun.

Zhou Yu is in charge of the Jiangdong military, how could such a military general want to surrender to the Cao army like a group of Confucian students, although this is all Zhuge Liang's speculation, but it is worth affirming that Zhou Yu is definitely a figure who can decide everything, which is good with his own conjecture, only by persuading Zhou Yu can Sun Quan make up his mind.

Zhuge Liang made up his mind, so that Lu Su left the council hall together, and in the next few days, Zhuge Liang was waiting for Zhou Yu to return to Wu County, although Zhuge Liang's heart was very anxious, but Zhou Yu is now stationed in Poyang to practice the water army, this time just on the road will delay a lot of time, so even if Zhuge Liang is anxious, he can only pray that Zhou Yu can rush back to Wu County as soon as possible, the reason why he is so anxious to meet Zhou Yu is because Sun Quan does not see him at all.

After a few days, Zhuge Liang, who was reading a book in the study, suddenly heard that Lu Su was coming, and Zhuge Liang was naturally full of joy about Lu Su's arrival, because Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Su's arrival must have come to bring good news to himself, after all, Lu Su had the best relationship with himself, and he relied on Lu Su to relieve his boredom during this time.

Zhuge Liang went out accordingly, and Lu Su was also full of smiles. "Brother Zijing's visit, it's really a disappointment." Seeing Lu Su, Zhuge Liang immediately said loudly.

"Hehe, why should Brother Kong Ming be so polite, you and I are best friends, why should Brother Kong Ming go out to greet him." Lu Su also said loudly. The two saluted each other, and then they went into the study together.

"Brother Zijing is visiting today, presumably General Zhou Yu and Zhou have arrived in Wu County." After the two of them sat upright, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, obviously, Zhuge Liang's heart was very anxious, he had been waiting for so long, the purpose was to wait for Zhou Yu to return to Wu County.

Seeing Zhuge Liang so anxious, Lu Su smiled kindly. Now that the enemy is currently in charge, Lu Su's nerves have always been tense, and now that Zhou Yu has finally returned, he can also breathe a sigh of relief, and now that Zhou Yu is in charge of the overall situation in Wu County, he finally doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

"Brother Kong Ming is really like a god, and your guess is good, Governor Zhou has returned to Wu County yesterday. However, Zhou Dudu hurried all the way back to Wu County, and is now resting in the mansion. Even I haven't seen Zhou Dudu, and if Brother Kong Ming wants to see Zhou Dudu, I'm afraid I will have to wait a few days. Lu Su said helplessly, and hearing Lu Su say this, Zhuge Liang was obviously not surprised, Zhou Yu was not Zhang Zhao. He is in charge of the military, and he will definitely kill decisively.

The person who commands the army and fights is bound to say the same, after all, the soldiers must be forbidden by order, so the person who is the commander will naturally take the lead, and what Lu Su said should be good. I shouldn't be able to see Zhou Yu in a few days, so I'm afraid I will have to wait a few more days, I've waited for such a long time, and I obviously don't care about these days.

"It's okay, Governor Zhou is in charge of the Jiangdong military, so naturally he is busy with official business, so I'll just wait for a few days, it's not a big deal." Even though he was very anxious in his heart, Zhuge Liang could only say this, after all, in Jiangdong, he was in a weak position, and he seemed to be here to form an alliance, but everyone knew that the real purpose of his coming to Jiangdong was to ask for help, so although Zhuge Liang seemed to be strong, he was really inferior.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was unhindered, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, Zhou Yu had nothing to do, the reason why Zhuge Liang was entrusted for a few days was mainly because Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhuge Liang's sharp spirit, Zhuge Liang just came to Wu County and made several Jiangdong ministers speechless, Zhuge Liang was in the limelight at the moment, how could Zhou Yu fight Zhuge Liang at this time, as the so-called one drum, and then decline, three and exhaustion, he exhausted himself, and now he is fighting against Zhuge Liang, Jiangdong is naturally in a weak position, only standing on the upper hand, Zhou Yu is seeking more benefits for Jiangdong, after all, judging from the current situation, Jiangxia's situation is much more dangerous than Jiangdong.

In this regard, although Lu Su's heart is a little unbearable, he is honest and sincere, but he really regards Zhuge Liang as a friend, but now he can only be sorry for his friend, after all, as a courtier, he naturally has to be loyal to the lord, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both, and he can only choose loyalty and abandon righteousness.

A few days passed very quickly, but for Zhuge Liang, who was anxious in his heart, it was obviously not like this, Zhuge Liang was very depressed these days, because Lu Su had been coming to him, saying how busy Zhou Yu was, but the news he heard was that Zhou Yu had been accompanying his wife in the mansion for the past few days.

Obviously, with Zhuge Liang's ingenuity, he obviously knows why Zhou Yu is doing this, some time ago, he was sharp, and several important ministers in Jiangdong were speechless, although this matter has greatly increased the momentum of the main battle faction, but he is an outsider, although this matter is tried his best to cover up, but how can the paper be wrapped in the fire, the news still spread, this matter is a glory on himself, but it has become a shame in Jiangdong.

His actions will definitely disgrace Jiangdong, so the people of Jiangdong will naturally not give themselves any good faces, Zhou Yu is Jiangdong's example, how can he have a good face for himself, for the cold reception, Zhuge Liang has obviously been prepared in his heart, but even if he is prepared, Zhuge Liang's heart is becoming more and more anxious.

Cao's army has moved, and the Jingzhou naval army that he surrendered to Cao's army is gradually advancing towards Jiangxia, I am afraid that it will not take long for Cao's army to arrive in Jiangxia, if the Jiangdong army has not moved at that time, then Jiangxia will definitely fall into the offensive of Cao's army.

Just when Zhuge Liang was anxious, Lu Su finally brought good news to Zhuge Liang, tonight, Zhou Yu held a banquet in the mansion to invite Zhuge Liang.

Hearing this news, Zhuge Liang's face, which had been silent for a long time, finally showed a smile, as long as he could see Zhou Yu. Zhuge Liang had the confidence to move Zhou Yu and send troops against Cao Cao, after all, Zhuge Liang had not been idle in the past few days, he had been studying what kind of person Zhou Yu was.

His own research can be said to be quite effective, and now Zhuge Liang has caught a fatal weakness of Zhou Yu. With this weakness, Zhuge Liang was absolutely confident that he would move Zhou Yu and let him raise troops to fight against Cao Jun.

After tidying up his appearance, Zhuge Liang went to Zhou Yu's mansion with Lu Su, and when he came to Zhou Yu's mansion, Zhuge Liang was obviously a little surprised, it stands to reason that Zhou Yu is in a high position, and his mansion should obviously be more luxurious, but what is in front of him is different. Zhou Yu's mansion is quite modest.

Lu Su obviously knew what Zhuge Liang was thinking, he smiled slightly, and then said: "The simplicity of the governor of Zhou is a well-known thing in Jiangdong, although the governor of Zhou has always been in a high position, but the governor has always been strict with himself, hoping to discipline others with himself. As he spoke, Lu Su's expression changed easily.

In this regard, Zhuge Liang was quite emotional. It is no wonder that Zhou Yu is so prestigious in Jiangdong and such a strict self-disciplined person. How could he not convince the generals, Zhou Yu is really powerful, in this method, he obviously does not have Zhou Yu's courage, it seems that he still lacks a lot, for a while. Zhuge Liang also felt a little emotional, and this reminded Zhuge Liang of the situation when he fought with Cao Jun in Xinye that day.

At that time, in Xinye City, he was self-righteous, thinking that if he set up an empty city, he would be able to lead Cao's army into the city. But who would have thought that Cao Jun was not fooled at all, not only was he not fooled, but Cao Jun actually surrounded Xinye City, obviously, Cao Jun expected the enemy to take the lead, and knew that he would set up an ambush in Xinye City, so he specially surrounded Xinye City.

"Brother Kong Ming, Brother Kong Ming." Seeing that Zhuge Liang was in a daze, Lu Su hurriedly called Zhuge Liang, seeing Zhuge Liang in a daze, Lu Su was somewhat surprised, Zhuge Liang lost his soul so much, Lu Su saw it for the first time, Lu Su was obviously very curious, I don't know what Zhuge Liang was thinking.

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and when he saw Lu Su, Zhuge Liang showed a hint of an apologetic smile, "I thought about something, I was a little distracted, and I hope Zijing will not be surprised." Zhuge Liang said apologetically, Zhuge Liang was still a little ashamed of what happened just now, and he didn't know why, so he thought of Cao Jun, but it is no wonder that he was in high spirits when he came out, but after fighting with Cao Jun, he realized that there are many more people in the world who are more powerful than him.

Lu Su obviously didn't want to ask Zhuge Liang what he wanted to write, and after looking at the hour, Lu Su said loudly: "I'm fine, but don't let Zhou Dudu wait too long, whether Jiangdong can form an alliance with Uncle Liu Huang depends on what Zhou Dudu says." Zhuge Liang nodded, and then entered Zhou Yu's mansion with Lu Su.

A subordinate led Zhuge Liang and Lu Su to the banquet hall, at this moment Zhou Yu was sitting on the main seat in a Confucian robe, and when he saw Lu Su and Zhuge Liang coming in together, Zhou Yu immediately stood up and greeted him, "Zijing is visiting, I am really disappointed, please please hurry." Zhou Yu said and came to Lu Su's side with a smile, grabbed one of Lu Su's arms, and dragged Lu Su into the house.

For this situation, Lu Su could only smile bitterly, Zhou Yu's move was obviously deliberate, deliberately ignoring the existence of Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was quite helpless about it, this is Zhou Yu's dismount, originally he asked to see Zhou Yu, but now, he is like a spectator, but Zhuge Liang is obviously not angry, with a slight smile on his face, quietly waiting for the next development of the situation, Zhuge Liang knows that the more this time, the more calm he must be.

Zhuge Liang suddenly had a plan, and shouted loudly: "Governor Zhou, if you want to let Cao Jun retreat, only two people are needed." ”

"Oh." Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Zhou Yu's curiosity was suddenly raised, although Zhou Yu was somewhat skeptical of Zhuge Liang's words, but Zhou Yu still couldn't help asking, after all, Zhuge Liang's expression was flat, it didn't seem that he was deceiving himself, perhaps, Zhuge Liang did have such a clever plan, Zhou Yu secretly thought in his heart, he didn't expect Zhuge Liang's strategy to really make Cao Cao retreat, as long as he could delay for a while, it would be better.

"Who are these two people, and do I know each other?" Lu Su asked in a deep voice, Zhou Yu also had professional doubts in his heart, he obviously also wanted to know, which two people had such a huge ability, and Zhuge Liang could swear so confidently to send these two people, so that Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops could return in vain.

Zhuge Liang smiled, he obviously didn't want to answer Lu Su's question directly, and Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously. Then he emphatically said: "Jiangdong removed these two people, it is like a big tree dropping a leaf, and the granary is missing a grain, and there is no loss to Jiangdong if the two of them are obtained by Cao Cao, they will definitely be overjoyed." ”

Zhuge Liang said so. The curiosity in Lu Su and Zhou Yu's hearts became even more interested, seeing what Zhuge Liang was like, Zhou Yu asked a little impatiently: "Which two people are used, Mr. Kong Ming quickly told me to wait, if the two of them are really so important, I will send someone to find the two?" ”

Seeing Zhou Yu's handsome face showing a hint of anxiety, Zhuge Liang secretly rejoiced in his heart, it was really not easy, Zhou Yu finally took the bait. The next time is even more necessary to deal with it carefully, after all, the next is the most critical moment, whether you can move Zhou Yu depends on the next words.

Zhuge Liang held it slowly for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Before I came out of Longzhong, I heard that Cao Cao had built a new Tongque platform in the Zhanghe River. It is very magnificent, and the beauties of the world are widely selected and placed here. Cao Cao is a womanizer, he once heard that Jiangdong Qiao Gong has two daughters, the eldest daughter is called Da Qiao, and the second daughter is called Xiao Qiao, both of whom have the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, Cao Cao once swore that "my life's wish is to sweep the four seas." Achievement of the imperial industry; One wish is to get Jiangdong Erqiao and place them in Tongquetai, so that they can spend their old age with me, and die without hatred in their lives,'"

"Now he is leading an army of more than 100,000 men. Looking at the south of the Yangtze River, in fact, it is for these two women at all, why don't General Zhou go to Qiao Gong, spend thousands of taels of gold to buy them, and send someone to Cao Cao, Cao Cao got these two daughters, satisfactory, and must be a teacher, this is the ancient Fan Li to Wu Wangfu sent Xi Shi to the wonderful plan, should be implemented quickly. After speaking, Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, and at this moment Zhuge Liang was obviously more happy.

Zhou Yu was taken aback when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, and looked Zhuge Liang up and down, Zhou Yu muttered to himself in his heart, for Zhuge Liang's words, Zhou Yu seemed to be half-convinced.

Zhou Yu calmed down slightly, at this moment Zhou Yu restrained his anxious look, his expression became a little uncertain, after a while, Zhou Yu asked quietly: "Cao Cao thinks of these two women, why is Mr. so sure, what can Mr. have to prove?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu, and then said: "If there is no basis, how dare you in the chest, Cao Cao's youngest son Cao Zhi, is quick to think, and the pen is written, Cao Cao once ordered him to compose a poem "Tongquetai Fu", the central meaning of the fu, a single expression of Cao Cao's two wishes in life, one is to be the son of heaven, and the other is to vow to marry Erqiao. ”

Zhou Yu heard Zhuge Liang say such a matter, and then asked indifferently: "In that case, can you write down this Mr. Fu?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then said: "I like its beautiful rhetoric, and I have recited it many times, so I naturally remember this poem secretly." ”

"In that case, please read this poem out to me." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, at this moment, Zhou Yu's expression was obviously not calm.

Zhuge Liang immediately recited: "From the Ming Dynasty to frolic and travel, climb the stage to entertain, see the wide opening of Taifu, the camp of the holy virtue, the Sagaxi of the high gate, the floating double is related to the Taiqing, the Huaguan of the sky, even the Fei Pavilion is in the west city, the long flow of the Linzhang River, the glory of the fruit of the garden, the double platform is on the left and right, there are jade dragons and golden phoenixes, and the "two Qiao" are in the southeast, and the east is ,...... together."

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words were finished, Zhou Yu suddenly jumped like thunder, only to see him leave his seat and point to the north and scold: "Cao Cao, this old thief, really deceived me too much." ”

Seeing Zhou Yu jumping like thunder, Zhuge Liang's heart was naturally very happy, but his expression obviously did not show it, and he hurriedly got up to stop Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang immediately said: "The Xiongnu repeatedly violated the border of the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of Han promised to send the princess to make peace, now why are you reluctant to let go of two folk women." ”

Zhuge Liang's words were more like adding fuel to the fire, although Zhou Yu's expression was controlled, Zhuge Liang still felt that there was some murderous aura in Zhou Yu's eyes, Zhou Yu stabilized his emotions, and then said: "Mr. Zhuge doesn't know, this Da Qiao is the housewife of General Sun Ce, and Xiao Qiao is my wife." Saying this, Zhou Yu's expression was on one side, while Zhuge Liang smiled secretly in his heart.

Secretly smiling and smiling, Zhuge Liang immediately showed a look of panic and said: "I really don't know this, I said nonsense, capital crime, capital crime." ”

"Sir, it is not a crime to ignore, but the old thief Cao Cao, I will definitely be inseparable from the old thief." Zhou Yu shouted angrily.

Zhuge Liang knew that Zhou Yu had completely taken the bait, but he obviously felt that the current fire was not enough, "Governor Zhou must think twice, so as not to regret it." ”

Zhou Yu then said loudly: "I am entrusted by General Sun Ce on his deathbed, how can there be a reason to bend down and surrender, what I said before is just to test the attitude of the two, in fact, since I left Poyang Lake, I have the heart of the Northern Expedition, that is, the sword and axe are added to the head, and I will not change my will, I hope Kong Ming will help me to break Cao Cao." ”

After waiting for a long time, Zhuge Liang finally waited for this long-lost sentence, Zhuge Liang's heart finally landed on a big stone, and his purpose of coming to Jiangdong was finally achieved, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate, and hurriedly said: "If you don't give up, you are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and sooner or later you will be driven." ”

"In that case, then I will go to the lord tomorrow to discuss the matter of raising troops." Zhou Yu said loudly, and with this sentence, everything that happened to Jiangdong had been settled, Zhou Yu said this, he would naturally do this, and now he just needs to wait for Jiangdong to send troops.

The next day, Zhou Yu went to see Sun Quan early, Zhuge Liang's words made Zhou Yu not sleep all night, the more he couldn't sleep, the more irritable Zhou Yu's mood became, at this moment Zhou Yu wanted to do most is to start the army as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao's old horseman knew how powerful the men in Jiangdong were.

Zhou Yu came to Sun Quan's side and analyzed the key to the victory or defeat of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's armies to Sun Quan, first pointing out: Cao's army was exhausted after a long journey; The weather is cold

Cold, the horses have no grass to eat; Northerners are accustomed to land warfare, not good at water warfare, and are not accustomed to water and soil; Ma Chao and Han Sui were still in Guanxi, and for Cao Cao's troubles, they further analyzed the actual strength of Cao's army, pointing out that Cao's army from the Central Plains was only 1560,000, and the 70,000 or 80,000 people who were newly surrendered by Liu Biao were not popular with Cao.

In the end, Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan: "If the lord trusts him, he is willing to personally lead 30,000 troops to resist Cao's army, and he will be burned with Cao's army." ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, seeing that Zhou Yu was also resolute, Sun Quan finally made up his mind, and said a few words to Zhou Yu, Sun Quan immediately ordered someone to call the big and small ministers of Jiangdong, and after everyone gathered in the meeting hall, Sun Quan came to the main seat with his sword.

Sun Quan didn't sit down, I saw him holding the sword and glancing at the officials of His Royal Highness, the officials were obviously also very puzzled, they obviously couldn't understand why the lord wanted to raise the sword to discuss the matter, just when Zhang Zhao and the other lords were about to speak, Sun Quan suddenly pulled out the sword, and then slashed towards the table.

Everyone saw a cold light flashing, and then looked at the table case, and found that the table case had been cut off by Sun Quan, and before the ministers could react, they heard Sun Quan say in a tough tone: "I have made up my mind, raise troops to resist Cao, from today onwards, if I hear anyone dare to say surrender, this table is his end." ”

Hearing Sun Quan say this, Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, and finally suppressed the words that had come to his mouth, it seems that this time Sun Quan has really made up his mind, if he rises again at this time, he will naturally be regarded as a bird by Sun Quan, although he is not sure whether Sun Quan will kill himself, but he will definitely not let himself feel better, since Sun Quan has made up his mind, it is obviously useless to say anything more.

With Sun Quan's order, the entire Jiangdong suddenly entered a tense state of preparation, and soon, Jiangdong's 30,000 troops were assembled, these are the most elite clans in Jiangdong, it is worth saying that Jiangdong is really rich in water army, 30,000 Jiangdong army, nearly half of them are elite water army. (To be continued......)
