Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ren, his eyes lit up, and he bowed to Sun Jian: "Lord." ”

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Gongjin doesn't have to be polite. He pointed to Sun Ren, who was looking at Zhou Yu, "This is the little girl Shangxiang." Zhou Yu bowed to Sun Ren and said with a smile: "No wonder she has such an extraordinary temperament, it turned out to be Miss Sun!" Sun Ren returned the salute and asked curiously, "You are the Zhou Yu that your father and brother often talk about?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "It's just down." ”

Sun Jian said: "Okay, stop gossiping. Gongjin, I called because I wanted to hear your opinion on something. Then he told Sun Ren about the suspected Lu Bu in Xiangyang, and finally asked, "Does Gong Jin think this person is Lu Bu?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled contemptuously, "Lu Bu, it's just a horseman, how can he be so bold, I think it's just a similar appearance." ”

Sun Jian nodded thoughtfully.

Sun Ren frowned and said, "I don't dare to agree with what Gongzi Zhou said!" Although Lu Bu's character is not very good, he is not a husband. Regardless of its move across the grassland, just in terms of the recent action to attack Xichuan, it shows its bravery! ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "What Miss said is not unreasonable. "Frowning and thinking for a moment, "There are indeed some resourceful people around Lu Bu, such as Jia Xu, although the young lady may not be Lu Bu when she meets in Xiangyang, Lu Bu may also be fighting Jing Xiang's idea, this matter cannot be guarded against." ”

Sun Jian frowned, "Lu Bu's idea to fight Xiangyang too?" Can he send troops now? ”

Zhou Yu pondered: "It is indeed a little difficult for Lu Bu to send troops at this time, but it is not completely impossible!" Although it is unlikely that Lu Bu will send troops, we should also be completely prepared! ”

Sun Jian nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "We must do our best to capture Nanjun!" ”

Beginning the next day, Sun Jian personally went into battle and urged his subordinates to storm Nanjun City. The Sun family's army attacked Nanjun wave after wave like a sea, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were endless all day long.

Chang'an, the General's Mansion.

Zhang Lang pointed to Zhuge Liang beside him and smiled and introduced Jia Xu and everyone: "This is Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, is a wise man I invited from Nanyang. ”

Zhuge Liang hugged his fist at everyone, and everyone also saluted Zhuge Liang back, all looked at him, very curious, many people did not think that although Zhuge Liang had an extraordinary temperament, he was too young and did not feel so reliable.

Zhang Lang said to everyone: "From today on, Zhuge Liang is the master of the General's Mansion. There was no reaction from the crowd, because the position of chief bookkeeper was not high, low or low, but it was not eye-catching.

Zhang Lang nodded at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and saluted, and then retreated into the queue of civil officials, his position was in the middle of the queue, inconspicuous.

Zhang Lang picked up Cai's letter to Lu Bu from the desk and handed it to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, look at this letter." Jia Xu lowered his head and stepped forward, took the letter with both hands, took out the letter, read it, and thought: "This is a good excuse and opportunity, but it is a little difficult to mobilize heavy troops at present!" It's better to wait for a while, let Sun Jian capture Nanjun, and then attack Xiangyang! Xiangyang City is high and the river is wide, although the Jingzhou army is not high, but after all, there are many people, even if Sun Jian can capture Xiangyang, he will definitely suffer heavy losses! When the two of them fight and lose both, we will send troops again, and Jingzhou will be at our fingertips! ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Jia Xu and said secretly: No wonder people call Jia Xu a poisoner, this trick is really vicious, but it is indeed the best policy!

Zhang Lang hesitated, nodded, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming is more familiar with the situation in Jingzhou than anyone else, so please ask Mr. Kong Ming to go to Hanzhong first to make preparations in all aspects, and if necessary, you can adapt to the situation." ”

"No. However, please also ask the lord to give a warrant. ”

Zhang Lang understood, Zhuge Liang was worried that Ma Chao and other generals would not listen to the drive, no wonder, Zhuge Liang had no prestige at all when he first arrived, where could Ma Chao and other fierce generals listen to his call, it would not work without a warrant.

Zhang Lang immediately wrote a warrant and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

……

When night fell, Zhang Lang was half-lying in the water pavilion drinking stuffy wine, and couldn't help but regret a little, why did he get Yuyao and Diao Chan to Chengdu? I'm now alone in an empty room! Ay!

"My lord."

Zhang Lang sat up, saw Jia Xu standing outside the water pavilion and saluted with his fists, and said with a smile: "It's you?" Come in, come in, drink with me. ”

Jia Xu walked into the water pavilion, sat down opposite Zhang Lang, glanced at several wine jars on the table, and persuaded: "The lord must drink less wine!" ”

"Got it, got it!" put a wine bowl for Jia Xu, filled it for him, picked up his wine bowl, and dried it in one gulp. Jia Xu smiled bitterly, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. Put down the wine bowl, "My subordinates talked to Zhuge Liang just now. "Oh? How does it feel? ”

Jia Xu said with emotion: "What a genius in the world!" This person's strategic planning ability and internal affairs ability are probably unmatched in the world! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, "It seems that Wen He has a high opinion of him!" ”

Jia Xu frowned and said, "It's just that he is a little too conservative in the military!" This person is more than enough to be a prime minister, and he can also govern the army, but he must not be a general! ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but admire: "You really see Zhuge Liang through!" After a pause, "Does Wen He think the position I am currently giving him is suitable?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, "It's very suitable." Although Zhuge Liang is a genius in the world, after all, he is too young, he has no reputation, and he is a newcomer, so he has no merits, so he should not be reused too much. After he has made meritorious contributions, it is not too late to be promoted! Suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my subordinates heard that the lord also appointed a female staff?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded.

Jia Xu's expression was a little strange, and then he said very understandingly: "The lord is indeed lonely in Chang'an alone!" ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Jia Xu had misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain.

A guard rushed over and reported: "General, Miss Cai Yan is here and is waiting in the back hall." ”

Jia Xu joked with a smile: "Actually, the lord has no shortage of confidants in Chang'an!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and said to the guard, "I'll go immediately." The guard answered and left.

Jia Xu stood up, clasped his fists and bowed: "My subordinates retire." Zhang Lang nodded.

Zhang Lang came to the back hall, only to see Cai Yan dressed in a purple floral palace dress, with a golden step on her head, and her face was obviously carefully painted with makeup, which was more gorgeous than usual, sitting there and waiting stupidly, holding a big package in her hand, I don't know what it contains?

"Little sister."

Cai Yan showed a look of surprise, hurriedly stood up and looked at the door, saw Zhang Lang, and shouted happily: "Big brother! Then he hung his head shyly.
