Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this, and urgently ordered Zhou Yu to see him.

After Liu Ze took Jiangxia, within a few months, he swept the entire Jingzhou, and its momentum was huge, and Jiangdong was shaken. According to this, Sun Quan immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures, and a group of civil servants led by Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong did not seem to be able to come up with a good proposal. Sun Quan knew that these Jiangdong lords attached great importance to their own one-third of an acre of land, and were not too interested in expanding outward to dominate the world.

When Wu Guotai saw Sun Quan like this, he asked, "Why is my son so worried that he has wasted his sleep and food?" ”

Sun Quan sighed and said: "Liu Ze annexed Jingxiang, the disaster of Jiangdong is not far away, but all the ministers have said that they will guard Jiangdong and not fight with it, so they have nothing to do, so they hesitate." ”

Wu Guotai said: "Bo Fu has words on his deathbed; 'Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs. Why don't I ask Gongjin to ask him and make a decision. ”

Sun Quan suddenly realized, woke up like a dream, and immediately sent an envoy to Exian County to ask Zhou Yu to come back to discuss matters. Knowing that the Japanese side sent a messenger the day before, Zhou Yu had already returned.

It turned out that Zhou Yu was in Exian County, and he knew the battle situation in Jingzhou very well, and Cai Mao surrendered to the state, allowing Liu Zebing to take the entire Jingzhou bloodlessly, which caught Zhou Yu, who had been waiting for the opportunity in Exian County, off guard. Zhou Yu was stationed in Exian County on Sun Ce's orders, just waiting for the opportunity to prepare for a handful, but there were too many things in Jiangdong, Sun Ce died and had to be treated, Sun Quan's succession and handover affairs were more complicated, and the hostile forces in Jiangdong were stupid. Sun Quan was very busy, his internal affairs were uneven, and Zhou Yu did not dare to act rashly in Jingzhou. So the opportunity slipped away from Zhou Yu's fingertips, and Liu Ze took Jingzhou with lightning speed, which made Zhou Yu wake up like a dream and regret it, and he immediately returned to Jianye to discuss the plan with Sun Quan.

"The last general has seen the lord." Zhou Yu strode to the hall and bowed to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan smiled and hugged Zhou Yu with both hands, and said, "Gong Jin came just in time, Gu Zheng has something important to discuss with Gong Jin." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Can the big thing that the lord said be the matter of Jingzhou?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"Yu is here for this," Zhou Yu said. "I wonder what the public thinks?"

Sun Quan frowned. Said: "Zibu Zhuren built a lonely guard to the pass and danger, and did not compete with Liu Ze, so as to stick to the foundation of Jiangdong." ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "This pedantic theory is also. Husband and fighter, attack instead of defend. This is the best policy. Koto has a wide area. But stubbornly defending is the way to death after all. ”

Sun Quan's eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhou Yu's opinion was very much in line with his thoughts. The depression in his heart was much more relaxed, and suddenly he remembered Zhuge Liang's strategy, so he said to Zhou Yu and wanted to hear Zhou Yu's opinion.

Zhou Yu's expression changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Whose strategy is this?" ”

Sun Quan was stunned, and Zhou Yu's attitude was too unexpected for him, but Sun Quan still told the truth: "This strategy is offered by Zhuge Jin's brother Zhuge Liang, what does Gong Jin think?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a cold expression: "Please behead this person quickly, so as to make no mistake about the country and harm the people!" ”

Sun Quan was shocked and said, "Why did Gong Jin say this? ”

Zhou Yu said: "The southeast of the country, must take Jingxiang, the land of Jingxiang is located in the upper reaches of Jiangdong, is the surface and inside of Jiangdong, since ancient times there has not been a loss of Jingxiang and protect the southeast." Zhuge Liang's move to rule across the river seems to be a clever strategy, but he doesn't know that this plan is pedantic, and he should forge ahead in the world, and he is cowardly before fighting, how can he be a hero? When Bo Fu was there, he competed with Liu Ze and Huainan, and was plundered by Liu Ze and seized Hefei, causing our army to be passive in Huainan as a whole. Bo Fu has regretted many times that day to give up Hefei, only hated that he had not fought a decisive battle with Liu Ze in Hefei at that time, and he would not fight this year or next year, causing Liu Ze to become bigger and bigger, and then swallow Jingzhou. If the lord follows Zhuge Liang's words, rules the river, and avoids Liu Ze, three or five years later, how huge will Liu Ze's power be? From Jiangling to Guangling, thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, does the lord have the ability to watch out for everywhere? The lord is eloquent and has the heart of the world, how can he be partial to the southeast and look up to the snort? In the foolish opinion, the lord should pour the power of Jiangdong, and take advantage of the fact that Liu Ze's foothold is not stable, and Liu Ze will fight a decisive battle in Jingzhou, and complete his work in one battle. ”

Sun Quan originally appreciated Zhuge Liang's proposition, but when he heard Zhou Yu's remarks, he couldn't help but be a little shaken.

Lu Su also highly admired Zhuge Liang's strategy, and said to Zhou Yu: "Kong Ming's theory is based on the strategy of the enemy's strength and my weakness. ”

Zhou Yu said confidently: "Liu Ze's strength is double that of our army, which is true, but the Xuzhou army has been fighting for many years, and has not been rested, and the army is exhausted. What's more, at the time of the Yangtze River, our naval army was almost invincible, and the Xuzhou army was mighty in land warfare, but it had no power in water warfare. ”

Sun Quan couldn't make up his mind at this time, and said: "Listening to Gong Jin's meaning, it seems that there is a strategy to break the enemy, and I am willing to hear about it." ”

Zhou Yu did not shirk, and said: "Liu Ze is currently stationed in Xiangyang, Jiangling, Baqiu two places have few soldiers, the last general is willing to personally lead the army of water and land from Exian to the west, bypassing Jiangxia, directly take Baqiu, Jiangling, Nanjun is the belly of Jingzhou, as long as our army takes Nanjun, Liu Ze will have a foothold in Jingzhou, and then a decisive battle with Xiangyang, will definitely be able to overcome it in one fell swoop." The lord could also lead his army to attack Hefei and Guangling to contain the enemy in Huainan in Xuzhou and reinforce Jingzhou to the west. The land of Jiang and Han is covered with dense water networks, which is the place where our army gives full play to the strengths of the water army, suppresses Liu Ze's foot riding, and uses its own strengths to break the enemy's shortcomings, and this way to win is also. The last general inherited the will of Bo Fu, and was willing to be a pawn before the horse for the Lord to expand the territory and conquer the world, although the sword and axe were added, he would not change his will. ”

Sun Quan can also be regarded as a male lord of the previous generation, and when he heard Zhou Yu's bold words, he was also ambitious, so he said: "Lone will follow Gongjin's words and swear to fight Jingzhou with Liu Ze!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan ascended to the hall and summoned Jiangdong civil and military ministers to discuss the matter, more than 30 civil officials on the left, including Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, and more than 30 military attaches on the right, such as Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, were well-dressed, with swords and swords, and stood in shifts. Since Sun Quan had already set up a plan to send troops to Jingzhou in Zhou Yu yesterday, he no longer discussed whether it was necessary to send troops in the hall today, and directly began to discuss the details of sending troops. Although Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other Wenchen had some different opinions, but seeing Sun Quan's resolute and resolute attitude, they had no choice but to acquiesce, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals were overjoyed, obviously supporting Sun Quan's decision.

Sun Quan named Zhou Yu as the governor of the capital, commanded the Jiangdong Navy and Army, Cheng Pu was the deputy governor, Lu Su was the army, the soldiers and horses were on the hour, Keri marched into Jingzhou, and personally gave the sword and Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu received the sword in the hall, looked around at everyone, and said awe-inspiringly: "A certain is ordered by the lord to lead the crowd to break the enemy, and all the generals and officials will go to the riverside camp tomorrow to listen to the order. ”

All the generals and officials responded to the order in horror, and no one dared to resist. Zhou Yu resigned from Sun Quan, got up and left the mansion, and returned to the mansion.

After Zhou Yu returned home, he ordered Lu Su to come over to discuss the matter. Lu Su was ordered to arrive, and Zhou Yu asked: "Zijing, when did this Zhuge Kongming defect to the lord?" ”

Although Zhou Yu was disdainful of Zhuge Liang's schemes, Zhou Yu could see that Sun Quan still respected Zhuge Liang very much, which also made Zhou Yu very worried.

Lu Su said: "Kong Ming is Zhuge Ziyu's younger brother, this time Ziyu is seriously ill, Kong Ming specially rushed from Xiangyang to Jianye to visit, the lord regrets that he wants to stay and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, Kong Ming stubbornly does not accept it, and the lord can only be treated as a guest. ”

Xiangyang? Zhou Yu secretly wondered, since Zhuge Liang came from the enemy-occupied area, wasn't he appointed by Liu Ze to lobby Sun Quan and ask Sun Quan to give up competing with him for Jingzhou? No wonder he would offer Sun Quan any idea of dividing the river and ruling the country, it is clear that this person is Liu Ze's meticulous work! Thinking of this section, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and said: "Zhuge Liang is only afraid that it is a fine work sent by Liu Ze, this person will be a big disaster in Jiangdong, it is better to kill him to prevent future troubles!" ”

Lu Su was shocked and said: "Gongjin misunderstood, although Liu Ze intended to invite Kong Ming out of the mountain, Kong Ming had already left Longzhong's hometown when Liu Ze's soldiers were in Xiangyang, and it was impossible to act as Liu Ze's meticulous work. What's more, Kong Ming is Ziyu's own brother, and he is deeply respected by the lord, and there is no fault or mistake, how can Gong Jin kill him lightly? ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "Zi Jing is an honest gentleman, how can he see through the conspiracy and tricks of Liu Ze and Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang was not sent by Liu Ze, how could he offer any bad idea to the lord to divide the river and rule, it is clear that he wants to induce me Jiangdong not to conquer or cut down, so that Liu Ze can enjoy its success, this plan is so vicious, Zi Jing didn't think of his sinister intentions?" ”

Lu Su said: "In my opinion, Kong Ming's plan is also modest, and there is no suspicion of being a traitor, Gongjin is too worried." Kong Ming was very determined, but he was afraid that he would have to resign in a few days. ”

"If you can't make a plan, you want to slip away?" A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, since he had already decided that Zhuge Liang was a fine work sent by Liu Ze, how could he let him get out lightly? Although Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have different opinions, Zhou Yu also has to admit that Zhuge Liang's views are far-reaching, at least he can see farther than these important ministers in Jiangdong such as Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, a capable person, Zhou Yu can't let him escape no matter what.
