In the city of Xiangyang.

There was a war report from Jiangdong.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both came to Gongzi's Mansion.

Liu Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the two, because he knew that the two appeared at the same time, something must have happened.

His eyes fell, and he asked indifferently:

"Strategist, Shiyuan, is there anything urgent?"

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said:

"Lord Qiqi, just now there is news from Jiangdong, General Hansheng and General Xingba, the two soldiers and horses were killed outside Wu County at the same time, and Sun Quan finally chose to go out of the city to surrender."

This made Liu Qi a little surprised:

"Now that Sun Quan has been lowered?"

Pang Tong replied:

"Now Sun Quan and others are already on their way to Xiangyang."

It happened too suddenly, Liu Qi really didn't expect it, after all, in his impression, Sun Quan didn't pretend to surrender once or twice, and now he was so happy.

But no matter what, now that Sun Quan has surrendered, the dust has settled on the land of Jiangdong. The rest of the place, as long as you send troops and horses, you can easily take it.

Even Sun Quan voted, how can other places in Jiangdong have the heart to resist, they are not stupid.

The boss has sent it, can he still stand on his own?

Liu Qi smiled when he heard this:

"Now that I have won Jiangdong, my strength in Jingzhou has increased greatly, and I will not be completely passive in the face of Cao Jun in the future."

To this, Zhuge Liang replied:

"What the lord said is that after taking Jiangdong, there will be two routes for my army to go north. It can break Hefei to win the longevity of spring, and it can also go directly to Xuchang from Wancheng, Cao Cao knew about it, and it must be a big shock. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang asked in a low voice:

"Then I don't know the lord, what do you want to do with Sun Quan?"

Zhuge Liang was a little cautious, because he knew that after Liu Qi and Sun Shangxiang got married, he seemed to be quite enigmatic and asked:

"Are you two worried that I will let the tiger go back to the mountain and ask for trouble?"

Pang Tong nodded and said solemnly:

"No matter what, Sun Quan is the lord of one party, he was in charge of Jiangdong before, and he is quite popular, if the lord ignores it, I am afraid it will not be so simple in the future."

Liu Qi laughed dumbly.

How could he not know about this?

Cao Cao is a lesson for him.

Earlier, Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao's subordinates, just because Cao Cao kept his hand, but now he has become a big trouble.

In fact, how to deal with Sun Quan, Liu Qi has already thought about it.

He looked at them and said:

"Strategist, Shiyuan, you don't have to worry, I have already thought about this matter, and there will be no problem."

Without waiting for the two to ask, Liu Qi said again:

"Have the two military advisors heard of Yizhou?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, but it was not unheard of. They've heard of the name, but they haven't gotten to know it deeply, so they're a little dazed.

"Could it be that the lord wants Sun Quan to go to Yizhou?"

Zhuge Liang asked in a deep voice.

The so-called Yizhou is today's Taiwan, although it has not been developed, but many people know about its existence.

So now Yizhou is very barren and backward.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a reckless place.

After the founding of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to explore Taiwan. He brought 10,000 people over, but died of the epidemic, and finally brought back a few thousand natives.

Such a harvest is naturally a blood loss.

But for Liu Qi today, although Yizhou is a little behind, as a Chinese territory, it cannot be turned a blind eye, and it is also a good thing to let Sun Quan develop a wave first.

It was Liu Qi who nodded and replied:

"That's right, although Yizhou is a little behind, it is also a large piece of territory, why not let Sun Quan develop Yizhou, when the time comes, it will be more beneficial than disadvantageous for us."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were stunned.

In fact, the two of them are a little entangled, and how to deal with Sun Quan is a big problem. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi had already thought about it, and it was indeed a good way to let Sun Quan go to Yizhou.

Far away in Yizhou, how could Sun Quan have the energy to interfere in land affairs?

But it's not over yet.

Although seized

Jiangdong has greatly increased Jingzhou's strength.

But if they want to seize the world, they can't stop there, they still have a lot to do.

Liu Qilang said:

"Now Jiangdong is solved, but in the future to seize Yizhou, it will be difficult for the naval army to play an effect, what do the two military advisors think, might as well talk about it?"

Now the Jingzhou foot soldiers are mainly led by Huang Zhong.

The rest of Gan Ning and Wen Ping are all sailors.

As for Liu Bei, people already have a tendency to stand on their own, so naturally they won't listen to Liu Qi's arrangement.

As far as Liu Qi is concerned, he has already planned how to deal with Liu Bei. Let them recognize the reality clearly, and it is better to be his little brother honestly, and not be delusional.

The current Liu Bei obviously has a lot of ambitions.

Intended to seize Hanzhong.

But even if he borrowed Yizhou soldiers and horses, it was still difficult to gain an advantage in the face of Zhang Lu, who had Cao Cao's support.

This is exactly what Liu Qi wants to see.

Let them consume first, it won't hurt him anyway.

Seeing Liu Qi say this, Pang Tong first said:

"The lord doesn't have to worry, now Jiangdong has been owned by us, and the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong will also be used by the lord, and there are Jiangxia and Xiangyang two water armies to resist Cao's army.

You can mobilize Jiangdong soldiers and horses and wait for the opportunity to seize Yizhou. ”

Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that Jiangdong was also his territory, and in the past, Jiangdong soldiers were also under Liu Qi.

Integrating the Jiangdong forces, it will be much simpler to attack Yizhou.

Moreover, this period is the best opportunity to seize Yizhou. On the one hand, Cao Cao sent troops and horses to contain Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and on the other hand, Cao Cao was plotting against Xiliang.

So that Cao Cao did not have the energy to go south again.

However, according to the current time, after preparing troops and horses, if you want to attack Yizhou, I am afraid that it will be a cold winter.

Liu Qi said thoughtfully:

"The two military advisors think that if I mobilize troops and horses immediately, will I have a chance to take Yizhou before the end of the year?"

As the saying goes, there are many dreams at night.

If you delay too long, no one knows what will happen.

There are already a lot of variables.

Zhuge Liang is very steady, and he is right:

"The lord is too anxious, now Jiangdong is not completely stable, if you rashly mobilize troops and horses, I am afraid that cholera will occur again, and when the time comes, the soldiers will be hindered in the battle.

It is best to send a large army to enter Shu along Ba County after the spring of next year, so as to take Yizhou in one fell swoop. ”

Although Pang Tong didn't speak, looking at his expression, he was also worried. This made Liu Qi react, he was indeed too anxious, if he sent troops easily, he would lose his troops.

Liu Qi nodded and said:

"What the two military advisors said is very true, I understand, then stabilize Jiangdong first, and then try to seek the affairs of Yizhou.".

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are all surrendered.
