After noticing that something was wrong, Zhang Xi began to carefully observe the performance of everyone in this literary meeting.

Yu Turn, Yu Zhongxiang, Huiji County people This is the Jiangdong Shi clan.

Therefore, Yu Chuan seriously asked Liu Bei that he had no chance of winning in the face of Cao Cao, why did he think that Jiangdong and Jiangxia would be able to fight Cao Cao if they were in alliance.

Buqi, Buzi Mountain, Linhuai County, Huaiyin County. This is the people of the Huaisi Group.

Therefore, Bu Qiu questioned Zhuge Liang, whether he wanted to follow Su Qin and Zhang Yi to lobby Jiangdong, which was aimed at Zhuge Liang and had nothing to do with Liu Bei at all.

Xue Zong, Xue Jingwen, Peijun people. This, this is a pig teammate, and the Huaisi Group doesn't want to recognize that this is its own person.

Come up and say that Han Zuo will end, and Cao Cao will stand on behalf of Han, whether it is the Jiangdong family or the Huaisi Group, they all look at this product with a disgusted face.

There are some things that I can say privately and discuss with friends, but now on this kind of formal occasion, everyone is still leading the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao emphasized that he is "the son of heaven to order not to obey", this goods come up and say that Han Zuo will end, this is not ungrateful.

No wonder he was scolded by Zhuge Liang and didn't dare to say anything.

As for Lu Ji, Lu Gongji, a native of Wu County, Wu County, and the current head of the Lu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong.

But the level of this goods is obviously not at the same level as his nephew, and he actually talked about blood relations, trying to prove that Liu Bei's legitimacy is not as good as Cao Cao, but he was sprayed by Zhuge Liang.

The last to appear on the stage, Yan Yan Mancai, Cheng Bingcheng Deshu. These two are famous people in the world, it's hard to say which group of people, but the questions asked by these two are even more outrageous, Yan Jian asked Zhuge Liang what predecessors he studied, Cheng Bing questioned Zhuge Liang's lack of knowledge, which led to Zhuge Liang's "gentleman Confucianism" and "villain Confucianism" theory, and everyone in Jiangdong did not dare to reply.

But these two problems have nothing to do with Liu Bei at all, and they are simply questioning Zhuge Liang's lack of academic excellence.

After watching the whole battle of words, Zhang Xi suddenly found that only the representative of the Jiangdong family was seriously questioning Liu Bei's intentions, and the Huaisi Group was clearly here to stir up the peace, and they questioned Zhuge Liang with all their might, even if the questioning was won, it had nothing to do with Liu Bei.

So. Is the purpose of this literary meeting to destroy the Sun-Liu Alliance, or to question Zhuge Liang's talent?!

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, what position does this person hold? !

The funniest thing is that there was no Huang Gai running in to stir up the situation in this cultural meeting, but the Jiangdong Zhang family advocated gentleness Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family, was still going to say something to question it, Zhang Zhao immediately announced the end of the literary meeting impatiently, saying that he was afraid of hurting everyone's harmony or something. No matter how Zhang Xi looked at it, he felt that this was an opportunity for Zhang Zhao to try to gag and block the representative of the Jiangdong family to continue to ask questions.

This literary meeting finally achieved Zhuge Liang's reputation as "Confucianism in the tongue war", which did not benefit Jiangdong at all.

This Zhang Xi really couldn't understand it, and after returning to the pavilion, he took out his doubts and analyzed them with Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Liang actually noticed this, but at that time he was busy talking, even if he felt that something was wrong, he really didn't think about it so much for a while.

came back and summed up with Zhang Xi, and found that Zhang Xi also noticed that there was something greasy in it, so it was not an illusion that he was alone.

As for Zhang Zhao's position. Lu Su once said that Zhang Zhao had persuaded Sun Quan more than once that it was better to temporarily surrender to Cao Cao to avoid the edge.

Zhuge Liang thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly realized.

"Zhang Zibu is Sun Cetuo's lonely minister, and if he doesn't persuade the lord to really surrender what he wants, I am afraid it is also an expedient measure." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and made a judgment on Zhang Zhao's position.

Zhuge Liang meant that although Zhang Zhao also advocated surrender, he was different from the real surrender of the Jiangdong family, and he should have wanted to persuade Sun Quan to surrender falsely and avoid the edge of Cao's army for the time being.

Zhang Xi felt a little incredible, Zhang Zhaohe, a famous big brother with investment, a French strategist.

Isn't such a person really going to surrender?!

Faced with Zhang Xi's questioning, Zhuge Liang just smiled slightly, and then told Zhang Xi about Zhang Zhao's past.

It is said that before Sun Ce died, he chose his younger brother Sun Quan as his heir for the sake of the stable inheritance of the family business, but Sun Quan was only a teenager at that time, and Sun Ce couldn't rest assured, so he told Sun Quan to "ask Zhang Zhao if the internal affairs are not decided".

Yes, there is only this sentence, there is no second half of the sentence "ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs", at that time, Sun Ce was only Zhang Zhao in front of him, Zhou Yu was still leading the troops outside, and Sun Ce's orphan was only Zhang Zhao.

But Sun Ce next said another sentence to Zhang Zhao in front of Sun Quan: "If Zhongmou does not do anything, you will take it yourself." is not overcome, slowly returning westward, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

That means that if Sun Quan can't do it, then you Zhang Zhao will directly take his place, it's really not good, let's go back to Huaisi's hometown, it's not that we can't live.

Zhang Xi listened to it at the time, and everyone was stupid. This is very familiar, is there it, Prime Minister Zhuge ? !

Of course, the current Zhuge Liang is not the later Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, he definitely will not feel that there is anything familiar about this sentence, on the contrary, he just thinks that Zhang Zhao is entrusted by the Sun family, and it is impossible to really persuade Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao.

Therefore, according to Zhuge Liang's understanding, Zhang Zhao's surrender here is not the same as the surrender of the Jiangdong family.

The Jiangdong family wants to surrender to Cao Cao, that is really surrender, just like Lu Su said, they surrendered, and their official positions in the future will not be lower than those of the state and county, which is no different from the current life.

But Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, because he wanted Sun Quan to imitate Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and surrender on the surface, and when Cao Cao's army returned to Xudu, Jiangdong was different or Sun Quan had the final say.

The purpose of surrender of the two is different, so although Zhang Zhao is considered a "surrender faction", he also does not want the surrender faction of the Jiangdong family to succeed, so this literary meeting, for Zhang Zhao, is also a suppression of the Jiangdong family. capitulation faction".

Zhang Xi heard that his brain hurt a little.

This Jiangdong, there are inevitably too many things, too complicated, right?!

There are two factions in a surrender faction, and this is the case with the main battle faction. It's also thanks to Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, who can hold on.

But in Zhuge Liang's view, this is good news, which proves that Zhang Zhao can actually fight for it.

Zhang Zhao didn't really want to surrender, he also misjudged the situation by suggesting a fake surrender, and was frightened by Cao Cao's so-called "800,000" army and Cao Cao's successive victories over the years.

As long as Sun Quan is firm in resisting Cao, then there will be no possibility of Zhang Zhao dragging his feet and stumbling up.

Once the first person in Jiangdong Wenchen no longer resists Cao, then the remaining thing is to convince the first person in Jiangdong military generals.

And the first Jiangdong military general is on the way back to Chaisang from Poyang at this time.

Zhou Yu went to Poyang, and there was really a very important thing.

In the romance, it is said that Zhou Yu was sent by Sun Quan to Poyang Lake to train the navy, but this is very nonsense.

If you don't train a navy in the Yangtze River, what kind of navy will you train in the lake?!

In fact, Zhou Yu went to Poyang to suppress a turmoil that might have happened, but in the end did not happen.

Sun Quan had a cousin named Sun Ben, who was the Taishou of Yuzhang County, and his daughter was married to Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhang.

When Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, he once contacted Sun Ben and promised him the position of general of the conquest. At this time, Sun Quan was just begging for the general, and he was just guarding the general.

Sun Ben is unstable, Sun Quan is of course very worried, if his brothers surrender first, how can they persuade the Jiangdong family to send troops to resist Cao, and this battle will not have to be fought.

So he urgently ordered Zhou Yu to send troops to Poyang to deter Sun Ben, and then sent Zhu Zhi to Yuzhang to persuade Sun Ben, and he himself sat in Chaisang just in case.

Sun Ben did not choose to surrender to Cao Cao in the end, so Sun Quan was able to urgently transfer Zhou Yu to Chaisang to discuss matters.

However, it took some time for Zhou Yu to rush over, and in the meantime, Sun Quan privately summoned Zhuge Liang once and discussed with Zhuge Liang about Cao Jun's affairs, focusing on understanding Cao Cao's real strength and combat strength.

Zhuge Liang saw Sun Quan, and he was still the same, settling accounts.

First of all, he gave a positive introduction to the combat strength and achievements of the Cao army, pointed out that it may be difficult to stop the southward movement of the Cao army by relying on the Jiangdong side alone, and suggested that Sun Quan should make a decision as soon as possible, and if he can fight, he will fight, and it is better to surrender as soon as possible.

Sun Quan was not happy when he heard it, and in turn asked why Liu Bei did not surrender, and Zhuge Liang replied that Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, and whoever surrendered he could not surrender, only effectively imitate Qi Zhitian Heng and fight to the death.

This is actually telling Sun Quan in disguise that you can't actually surrender.

Liu Bei has the identity of a clan relative of the Han family, the name of a hero in the world, he can't surrender, he can only fight to the death.

Your grandson Quan is a second-generation Jiangdong generation, and your ancestors are not big officials, and you have no legacy to give you, and you have not made any achievements since you succeeded to the throne, and you are not even a hero.

Once you surrender, whether it is true or not, the Jiangdong family behind you, the old ministers of the Huaisi Group who support you, will really fall apart.

This is the account that Zhuge Liang gave Sun Quan to calculate, calculating what the consequences would be if he surrendered.

Sun Quan obviously knew this, so he said, "I can't lift the whole land of Wu, 100,000 people, subject to others, I will decide." ”

Here Sun Quan has understood that if he wants to continue to be the lord of Jiangdong, he can't surrender, and he can't even listen to Zhang Zhao's words and fake surrender.

Cao Cao is not his low-eyed son, and he will not give Sun Quan a chance to make a comeback.

Then the remaining question is - whether Liu Bei still has the confidence and qualifications for the alliance.

At this point, Zhuge Liang truthfully expressed Liu Beijun's current power.

At this time, Liu Bei is indeed in a much better situation than on the historical line.

The whole territory of Jiangxia is in hand, there are more than 10,000 people in the navy, 20,000 or 30,000 people in the army, and there is still the strength of a battle.

Sun Quan calculated the army at hand and found that although Liu Bei's current strength was not as good as his own, it was not much worse if he really wanted to calculate it.

If you don't count the private soldiers in the hands of the Jiangdong family, then what he can directly command is the 30,000 naval army that is still in Zhou Yu's hands, and the 20,000 or 30,000 troops that are now stationed in Chaisang.

Of course, it will be very difficult for either of the two to face Cao Cao, and there is even a possibility of destruction at any time.

But if the two join forces, there will be nearly 100,000 horses in an instant.

If Sun Quan can really mobilize the Jiangdong family in the later period, it is not impossible to gather another 100,000 horses.

Although it is still not as good as Cao Cao, at least it looks like it has the strength to fight.

At this point, Sun Quan already had the courage to fight a battle, but whether this battle could be won, Sun Quan had to ask the opinion of Zhou Yu, the first person in the Jiangdong military.

And now Zhou Yu, counting the days, it's almost time to go to Chaisang.
