Zhuge Jin was terrified when he saw Sun Quan so angry.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Jin has rarely seen Sun Quan so angry, even in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin that year, Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 royal drivers to conquer Cao Wei, and was beaten by Zhang Liao, almost losing his life, and he never saw such anger.

Zhuge Jin knew very well that although the national strength of Wu was much stronger than that of Shu, it was really far behind Wei State. Fortunately, over the years, Zhuge Liang repeatedly went on northern expeditions, so that Wei's forces were mainly focused on dealing with Shu, and he did not launch any large-scale battles against Wu.

If Wu and Shu go to war, not to mention the national strength of the two countries, it may also give Cao Wei an opportunity to take advantage of, so Zhuge Jin has always advocated the alliance between Wu and Shu.

However, between countries, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests. Sun Quan saw this very thoroughly, and in order to achieve the goal of seizing Jingzhou, he could claim to Cao Wei. In order to deal with Cao Wei, he can reconcile with the Shu State again, everything is just for the benefit of the Wu State.

The reason why Sun Quan was so angry this time was not entirely because of how important Jiaozhou's position was in his heart, but because Dongwu had lost the national treasure of Xuanwu Baoyu, which made him very annoyed.

This national treasure is the treasure of the town of Soochow, before the battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu got this treasure jade by chance, before the battle of Chibi, it has been blowing the west wind, it is because of this national treasure that Zhou Yu reversed the direction of the wind at a critical moment. If Dongfeng didn't get along with Zhou Lang, the Sun family of Eastern Wu would have been wiped out by Cao Cao's 800,000 army, and where would there be a chance to build a country and become the emperor.

However, this secret is extremely important, and very few people know it, and there are no more than five people who know it in the entire Eastern Wu. Now that Shu has obtained the Xuanwu Treasure Jade, isn't it possible to rise? This is what Sun Quan is most worried about, he is worried that after the rise of Shu, he will fight for Jingzhou again, after all, there are still many Jingzhou people among the civil and military ministers of Shu, and these people never forget to recover Jingzhou.

Therefore, he urgently recruited Lu Xun to return to the dynasty, just to discuss how to recapture Jiaozhou as soon as possible, and more importantly, to recapture Xuanwu Baoyu. Sun Quan was anxious, worried that when Lu Xun returned to the court, he would be delayed for a long time. So he asked Zhuge Jin:

"Ziyu, now that Jiaozhou is lost, if you wait for Lu Xun to return, it will take too long, and you will choose a good general and lead a vanguard elite to quickly attack Guangzhou in order to prevent Jiang Wei from continuing to attack, and at the same time waiting for the opportunity to recapture the South China Sea, who does Ziyu think can take this important task?"

Zhuge Jin thought about it and felt that Sun Quan's layout was very necessary, if the situation was not stabilized in time, the situation might deteriorate, so he replied to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends three people for Your Majesty to choose!" ”

Sun Quan hurriedly asked, "Oh, which three people does Ziyu recommend?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Former general Zhu Huan, a famous general of Eastern Wu, is calm and strategic, and has a good command of troops. He is also good at raising soldiers, light wealth and righteousness, and the soldiers respect him and are willing to serve the dead. With him as the vanguard, he should be able to resist Jiang Wei. ”

Sun Quan thought for a while and said: "Zhu Xiu Mutun soldiers in Huainan, and they have been confronting Cao Wei all the year round, so they can't be moved lightly. ”

Zhuge Jin said again: "Your Majesty's good son-in-law, General Wei Quan Cong, is very brave to decide, and when the enemy is in trouble, he will not hesitate to die. And as a commander, raise authority and hold on to it, every royal army, permanent strategy, not small profits. Last year, he led an army of 50,000 to quell the Lu'an Rebellion, and he was also the best choice for the vanguard commander. ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "Lone's son-in-law, Lone himself knows that Quan Zihuang is indeed the choice of the moment, but after the Lu'an Rebellion was pacified, Zihuang was sick and had not yet recovered, so it was not appropriate for him to lead the troops and go deep into the land of Baiyue at this time." Otherwise, Lone's daughter Sun Luban is afraid that she will be turned upside down again. ”

Zhuge Jin thought of Sun Luban of the word big tiger in his mind, and he "sighed" in his heart, fortunately Sun Quan didn't agree, if Sun Quan agreed to let Quan Cong go on the expedition, and Sun Luban learned that it was Quan Cong who recommended him, it is estimated that Sun Dahu, the tigress, will definitely be finished with him.

Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin with a frightened look, and said with a smile: "Ziyu, didn't you say that there are three candidates?" Who this third person is, tell me and listen to it. ”

Zhuge Jin thought about it, plucked up his courage and said:

"The dog Fuyue General Zhuge Ke, by the grace of His Majesty, was released to Danyang for training. Danyang Mountain is steep, the people are bold and strong, and our dynasty has not been able to completely conquer the Shanyue people here. Before, this kid went around telling people every day that he could subdue Danyang Shanyue, and the original minister didn't believe it, thinking that this kid was boastful, but he didn't expect that this kid came to the family last month, saying that he had 30,000 Danyang soldiers. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Okay!" Zhuge Ke did a good job! Danyang Shanyue subdued, and added another tiger elite soldier to my Dongwu! ”

Originally, Sun Quan didn't know whether Zhuge Ke had real skills, but he relied on Zhuge Jin very much, so he also attached more importance to Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke is rarely famous and is known as a prodigy. A few years ago, Sun Quan met Zhuge Ke and asked him, "Who is smarter, your father Zhuge Jin or your uncle Zhuge Liang?" ”

Zhuge Ke replied: "My father is smarter. ”

Sun Quan asked him why, and Zhuge Ke said, "My father knows who to serve, but my uncle doesn't, so my father is smarter." Sun Quan laughed when he heard this. Since then, Sun Quan has begun to like Zhuge Ke very much, and thinks that Zhuge Ke is very smart and clever, and over time, he will become a great tool.

In recent years, Zhuge Ke has repeatedly asked himself to lead his troops and go to settle the Shanyue people on Danyang Mountain. Based on his reliance on Zhuge Jin and his love for Zhuge Ke, Sun Quan gave him three hundred horsemen and asked him to go to Danyang Taishou, originally he didn't have much hope for this, but he didn't expect Zhuge Ke to completely subdue Danyang Shanyue in less than a year, and also recruited 30,000 Danyang soldiers.

Danyang soldiers were well-known as good soldiers in the entire Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the general Li Ling led 5,000 Danyang soldiers to attack the Xiongnu and encountered the siege of 80,000 main forces of the Xiongnu. In the face of 80,000 iron cavalry, Li Ling and his 5,000 Danyang soldiers fought a bloody battle with the Hun cavalry several times their size for many days, until they were finally captured by exhaustion.

After this battle, the reputation of Danyang soldiers for being good at fighting resounded throughout the Han Dynasty. Now Zhuge Ke has subdued 30,000 Danyang soldiers, which really makes Sun Quan very happy, so Sun Quan said to Zhuge Jin with a happy face:

"Ziyu, you really gave birth to a good son! Good! Since you personally recommended Yuan Xun, then Gu entered him as the general of Weibei, sealed the capital of the township, and ordered him to lead 30,000 Danyang soldiers to attack Jiaozhou! ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and thanked Junen. However, he was still a little anxious in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to let Zhuge Ke go on the expedition, after all, Zhuge Ke was too young and inevitably impetuous, so Zhuge Jin said to Sun Quan:

"This is the next choice among the ministers' recommended candidates, and the ministers are only afraid that he will miss His Majesty's major affairs, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Sun Quan waved his sleeves and said: "Ziyu doesn't have to worry, recover Jiaozhou, Gu still intends to take Lu Xun as the governor, and he personally leads the army from Jingzhou to the south, Zhuge Ke's army is only a partial division, from Yangzhou into Jiaozhou, and Lu Xun's army forms a pinching attack." If Yuan Xun can defeat Jiang Wei, if he can't be defeated, just wait for Lu Xun to lead the army to arrive, and then defeat Jiang Wei in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing Sun Quan say this, Zhuge Jin was a little relieved.

Immediately, Sun Quan said to Zhuge Jin: "Gan Ning's granddaughter, that is, the 'little Gan Ning' Gan Xin trained by Lu Xun, Lu Xun once praised Gu and said that this woman's martial arts are strong, not inferior to Gan Xingba back then. This woman had fought with Jiang Wei when she was guarding Jiaozhou, and she also knew Jiang Wei well. ”

Zhuge Jin was immediately grateful to Sun Quan, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to take such care of Zhuge Ke, and even took Zhuge Ke's personal safety into consideration. Hurriedly bowed to Sun Quan and said: "Minister, dog, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Sun Quan hurriedly picked up Zhuge Jin and said to him: "Ziyu, you are Gu's general, but Gu's henchman, you don't have to be so polite with Gu, if you are not old, Gu still wants you to go out in person!" Now that your son is on your way, you are at ease! ”
