Today's deliberations, everyone thought that it was just a simple issue of Jingzhou.

But Pang Tong's opening directly raised the significance of today's meeting by more than one level.

Everyone present is not a fool, and naturally they all know the importance of Jingzhou to the world.

Hearing Pang Tong's words, they all nodded lightly in agreement, and then looked at Pang Tong quietly.

"My lord, now that our army has pacified Jiangdong, the soldiers and horses have sufficient food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers is strong."

arched his hand at Xi Yu, and Pang Tong slowly spoke:

"Now Gong Jin has the help of General Huang and Guo Lingjun, and has led the troops to the Huangpi area, if Ling Gongjin leads the army along Jiangxia to Xiangyang at this moment, Xiangyang will be in our hands in an instant."

Waving his arms, Pang Tong's face was full of confidence.

"Xiangyang is the barrier of Jingzhou, if Xiangyang City breaks through and my army enters Jingzhou again, it will be like a wolf entering a flock, and Jingzhou can be swept in an instant, so Jingzhou can be broken!"

Looking at Pang Tong, who was full of confidence on his face, recalling what he had just said,

Everyone also nodded frequently,

At this moment, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, shook the feather fan in his hand slightly, and said slowly:

"Lord, Liang thinks what Shi Yuan said, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate."

Hearing Zhuge Liang open his mouth to question Pang Tong, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly:

"What does Kong Ming think?"

Gently shaking the feather fan in his hand, Zhuge Liang slowly spoke:

"On the surface, since Liu Jingsheng's death, the throne of the lord of Jingzhou has been inherited by his son, but according to our intelligence, the main control of this Jingzhou generation is now in the hands of Liu Xuande."

Glancing at the crowd present, Zhuge Liang continued:

"You must know that although we know that this Liu Xuande is a hypocrisy, the people of Jingzhou think that he is a great hero who saved them from Cao Gong, and the people of Jingzhou are grateful to Liu Xuande."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued:

"Besides, this Liu Xuande's subordinates are still related to Yu Zhang Fei, these two world-famous fierce generals, it may not be easy for us to take Jingzhou."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, everyone also nodded frequently,

And Xi Yu also raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were full of unclear expressions,

Now there is some truth in what the two of them say, and these two people are also people who refuse to admit defeat, and now Zhuge Liang directly denied Pang Tong's idea.

According to Xi Yu's understanding of Pang Tong, he will definitely not give up on this, and the two will definitely quarrel with each other.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Pang Tong's voice reached Xi Yu's ears.

"Kong Ming said this, but some people have lost their prestige."

With a cold snort, Pang Tong's tone was full of deep disdain.

Pang Tong has always thought that there is a five-five relationship between his talent and Zhuge Liang, but when he came to Xiyu,

But it was because Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to intercede that he was able to stay, and this made Pang Tong feel very uncomfortable.

Now, although I am here to discuss matters related to Jingzhou,

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is already a matter of time before Jingzhou is taken, and now it is just a matter of whose opinion the lord is willing to adopt.

And Pang Tong, who has been wanting to make meritorious contributions to prove that he is no worse than Zhuge Liang since he entered the camp, is also active at this moment.

So, he didn't hesitate to slap Zhuge Liang.

"My lord owns the land of the four continents, and he holds a million soldiers! There are countless money, grain, cattle and horses, and there are hundreds of fierce generals! Jiangdong has just been pacified, and it is a time when morale is strong and everyone is trying their best to forge ahead. ”

After saying that, Pang Tong raised his head slightly, his eyes were full of deep disdain and disdain.

"A small Liu Bei who has not yet stabilized Jingzhou, what is so terrible?"

After speaking, he bowed his hand to Xi Yu and said:

"What's more, he Liu Bei is a fake benevolent and righteous person, even if he deceives the people of Jingzhou for a while, what if he gains the trust of the people of Jingzhou? When our lord's army arrives, the people of Jingzhou will know who is the true benevolent and righteous person, and who is the one who deceives the world and steals fame! ”

After speaking, Pang Tong arched his hand at Zhuge Liang, and his eyes were still full of deep disdain.

Facing Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang did not have the slightest panic at the moment, and still shook the feather fan in his hand like an old dog.

"What Shi Yuan said at this moment is reasonable, my lord now commands millions of fierce generals, if you want to defeat that big-eared thief, it will be in an instant."

Hearing Zhuge Liang praise himself, Pang Tongshi was a little stunned.

"But Shiyuan, you must know that this Xiangyang has been the place of four wars since ancient times, and all dynasties have been constantly strengthening the city of Xiangyang, and now this Xiangyang can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how many casualties our army will have to attack Xiangyang. Let's talk about it first, if Liu Bei sees that the situation is not good and bewitches the people of Xiangyang to defend the city with him, even if our army breaks through Xiangyang, the Xiangyang generation will definitely fall into a situation where there is no one for thousands of miles, and then how much grain, grass and silver will my lord take out to govern Xiangyang? ”

"Besides, now that the general trend of the world has been decided, the day when my lord will unify the four seas can be determined, and the people of Xiangyang are also the people of my lord, if the people are damaged, how can they bear it with the benevolence of the lord?"

watched him talk eloquently, while belittling Liu Bei, he raised his own Zhuge Liang.

The eyes of Xi Yu, who sat on the main seat, were also full of deep and unclear meaning.

"Ryoko, it's over"

Although I think it is a little strange for Zhuge Liang to scold Liu Bei, what Zhuge Liang said is worth pondering.

After all, population is productivity!

Since the moment when the situation began to slowly tilt towards him, the pace of his own attack has been constantly slowing down, and when dealing with many things, it is often the first means to go to peace.

If peaceful means do not work, then he will use force, the most important of which is because of the population.

This itself will develop the industrial revolution in the future, and if it is because of the war, the population will be lost, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, if the people can be preserved, they must be preserved.

At this moment, Pang Tong also frowned slightly when he heard what Zhuge Liang said, because of the reason why Zhuge Liang praised him before, Pang Tong also arched his hand and asked slowly:

"I don't know what Kong Ming thinks our army should do?"

Facing Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang nodded lightly,

Pang Tong wanted to make meritorious contributions, and Zhuge Liang naturally knew it clearly,

If this is in normal times, I will let it go, but now this is a big thing about the unification of the world.

Naturally, it can't be mixed with any personal feelings, and it can only be done officially.

"As far as Liang knows, when Cao Gong went south, this Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to kill Cai Mao, and Liu Bei can be said to have offended the entire Jingzhou wealthy family."

"This wealthy family in Jingzhou, although it is not like the wealthy family in Qingxu and Xu, but it also has a large number of family members in its family."

"If our army can pull these Jingzhou wealthy clans into their hands, and make them abandon the darkness and join the light to meet our righteous army, or we can minimize the casualties, it is more likely to directly take Xiangyang without blood."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, everyone present also nodded slightly,

Everyone is also constantly thinking in their minds, and now what these two people say has its truth, and there is no problem in doing what anyone thinks.

Now I want to see Xi Yu sitting on the high platform, whose opinion do you want to adopt, and for a while, everyone turned their heads to look at Xi Yu.

Before Xi Yu could speak, a cold voice slowly came from the corner.

"What's there to fight for in this kind of thing? In my opinion, it is better to let people buy Haoqiang on the one hand, and at the same time reorganize the soldiers and horses and wait for the opportunity, and when Haoqiang and Liu Bei are both defeated, let Zhou Dadu Governor lead the army to kill Xiangyang, and put Haoqiang and Liu Bei together. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads to look at Jia Xu who was sitting in the corner, shrugged their shoulders slightly, and Jia Xu looked indifferent,

glanced at Jia Xu, and everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths,

Ruthless, too ruthless, worthy of Jia Xu, his style of acting is still so ruthless.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone also turned their heads to look at Xi Yu, waiting for his answer.

After glancing at everyone present, Xi Yu slowly spoke:

"Jia Xu's idea is very good, I have already ordered Feng Xiao to do this."

After slowly explaining Guo Fengxiao's previous plans and the current situation to everyone, Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and slowly spoke.

"Liangzi's idea is also very good, so after the Hao clan and Liu Bei just started to bite, we will do it, if the time drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the people of Jingzhou will be cleaned up by them."

After listening to the joke, everyone present also showed a sudden realization expression,

It turned out that the lord had already made a decision on how to attack Jingzhou.

For a while, everyone's eyes were also slightly filled with tears, the lord is really the lord of benevolence, with such an advantage, he can still be dominated by the people of Jingzhou,

What a great benevolence!

At the same time, a trace of confusion rose in everyone's hearts at the same time.

Since the lord had already thought about how to solve this matter, why did he ask them to come here to discuss matters together?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xi Yu naturally knew what they were thinking at the moment.

With a slight smile, the most important purpose of this meeting was said.

"After the civil strife in Jingzhou, in addition to letting Zhou Yu lead the troops south, the north cannot stop, and now I want to see who is willing to lead the troops to attack Xiangyang from the north to the south?"

Hearing that there was a battle to fight, Xu Chu stood up directly and said:

"My lord! Xu Chu is willing to lead the troops to the battle! ”

Seeing Xu Chu standing up, Xi Yu frowned slightly, it wasn't that he was unwilling to let Xu Chu lead the troops,

It's just that Xu Chu's leg injury has not healed until now, and now it is not a moment of lack of personnel.

Xi Yu naturally didn't want Xu Chu to fight with an injury.

"But your leg hurts"

Seeing that Xi Yu mentioned his leg injury, Xu Chu was afraid that Xi Yu would not let him fight for this reason, so he hurriedly stretched his leg.

"A small abrasion is not worth mentioning, and this injury has already recovered, and it will not affect the capture of the big-eared thief at all!"

Just when Xi Yu was thinking, all the generals below also asked to fight.

After looking at the generals present, Xi Yu then ordered two people.

"Then Wen Yuan will be the commander, Dian Wei will be the vanguard, and the troops will attack Xiangyang from north to south."

After all, now that the general trend has been decided, whoever is sent to this kind of thing will have the same result.

After giving everything, Xi Yu returned to the inner courtyard to consider whether it was time to read today.

And when Xi Yu left, Pang Tong's face was very ugly at the moment.

I thought that my opinion would be adopted by the lord this time, but I didn't expect that the lord didn't mention it this time.

Although he is very disappointed, Pang Tong's rules are still very clear, and this kind of thing is the most hated thing for the lord, so once the matter is decided, no one can change it.

With a light sigh, Pang Tong left slowly.

But before he could take two steps, Zhuge Liang caught up with him.

"Shi Yuan, there is a good wine in the Celestial Planetarium, and I have a treat for my brother today, I wonder if Shi Yuan can give my brother a face?"

In fact, for Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang still has a little apology in his heart,

Although the previous thing was for the great event of the lord unifying the world, Zhuge Liang was also a little reluctant to say what he just said.

And this meal of wine was also Zhuge Liang came to compensate Pang Tong.

can say this at any time, but Pang Tong, who is still above his anger at the moment, is full of coldness.

"The wine of your Celestial Planetarium is not something that people like me can bear."

When the words fell, he strode away and went straight to the design institute.

Looking at Pang Tong, who was striding away, Zhuge Liang's face was also helpless.

At this moment, Xi Yu had returned to his bedroom, reclining on the Taishi chair and looking at the mountains and seas, Xi Yu's face was full of relaxation and happiness.

Now there is Zhou Yu and Guo Jia in the south of Jingzhou, and Zhang Liaodianwei in the north is also coming soon, it can be said that this Jingzhou is now in his pocket, and he doesn't have to worry about anything now.

Feeling the temperature of the brazier under his feet, Xi Yu gradually felt a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Or because I played mahjong too late last night, so now Xi Yu has a hint of fatigue.

It stands to reason that he prepared ten oil lamps last night, and this kind of behavior can be described as extremely luxurious, and Gan Mei and Cai Yan did not feel the slightest discomfort.

But for Xi Yu, who has enjoyed electric lighting, even if he comes to the oil lamp for a hundred exhibitions, he can't look down on it.

"Alas~~~~ It seems that we have to urge the people of the Academy of Sciences to hurry up and study the electricity and light bulbs."

Sighing slightly, Xi Yu was ready to find time to go to the Academy of Sciences and urge them to get the electric light.

"Husband, that sister of the Sun family."

Just when Xi Yu was thinking about how to bring light to the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan Mei didn't know when to enter the room.

Although Gan Mei was not very used to directly entering Xi Yu's room at first, after all, this was the privilege that Xi Yu gave her, and over time she slowly got used to it.

Moreover, Gan Mei found that compared to going in directly without knocking, it seemed more disturbing to enter after knocking on the door, so she simply changed her habits.

Seeing Gan Mei come in, Xi Yu naturally knew the reason why she came, so he persuaded softly:

"You don't have to worry about her, if she wants to continue sulking, let her go, maybe she will be alone for a long time, and she will figure it out."

Looking at Ganmei's appearance, Xi Yu's eyes were also a little distressed,

After all, for Sun Shangxiang's affairs, Gan Mei can be said to have worked hard, and even the smile on her face became less and less.

Since this is the case, then simply let Gan Mei not care about her, after all, the Sun family has already agreed, and Xi Yu has time to spend time with Sun Shangxiang.

But when Xi Yu finished speaking, Gan Mei hurriedly said:

"No, no, don't misunderstand, the sister of the Sun family wants to study for her husband, but she is afraid of upsetting her husband, so she stands outside the door and doesn't dare to come in."

Hearing Gan Mei's words, Xi Yu was also slightly stunned, this thing was a bit surprising,

This was a big loss last night, and now how long is it to adjust your emotions again and prepare to make money?

Shaking his head slightly, Xi Yu said to Gan Mei:

"Let her in."

Stretching his waist, Xi Yu also picked up the Classic of Mountains and Seas again, just a little tired from reading a book, and now someone has come to read to him, which is also just right.

After getting Xi Yu's order, Gan Mei hurriedly pulled Sun Shangxiang, who was standing outside the door, in, and then casually found a reason to leave.

Waiting for Ganmei to leave, Sun Shangxiang, who is alone in the room, plays the two of you, you look at me, I look at you,

It's as if no one wants to speak first, no one wants to bow their heads first.

After a while, Xi Yu put his feet up again, leaned on the Taishi chair and slowly picked up the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

At this time, Sun Shangxiang couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly spoke: "What you said last night, does it count?" ”

Hearing Sun Shangxiang speak, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows and said directly: "Why doesn't it count?" What I say always counts. ”

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Sun Shangxiang's face changed and then he slowly spoke:

"I haven't read a few books since I was a child, so I'm going to have two words and two coppers."

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's attitude, Xi Yu was also slightly stunned, and then looked at her coldly.

Is this her attitude towards asking people to do things? Now is this begging her or is she begging herself?

This thing is simply unreasonable.

It's like this kind of thing that can make money by opening your mouth, and there are a lot of people in this house who want to do it.

"As I said, everything I say counts, so a word and a copper is a word and a copper, and there is no room for any bargaining."

To be honest, one word and one copper is already very cheap, and even some are expensive.

At that time, when Xi Yu issued silver tickets in Qianzhuang, the silver tickets were divided into three categories: gold, silver and copper, of which ten copper was one silver and one silver was one gold.

Now, Sun Shangxiang already owes himself five hundred and twenty gold, which is fifty-two thousand words when converted.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang didn't understand how much money she owed, but she knew that it must be a lot of money.

Although he heard what Xi Yu said, Sun Shangxiang's belief was still very firm.

"Two coppers."

But Xi Yu didn't raise his eyelids, and still said lightly:

"A bronze."

Seeing that Xi Yu was not moved at all, he stomped his feet, Sun Shangxiang puffed out his mouth and turned his head to walk towards the door.

But when she was about to reach the door, she stopped abruptly and fell into hesitation again.
