Chapter 18: Sun 100,000's Choice

"Qi Yu Supreme, Guan Yu has always been arrogant, originally after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Jingzhou has always been his sole power. Now Liu Bei is on top of a yellow-mouthed child, with Guan Yu's arrogance, how can he convince a doll...... Therefore, taking advantage of the uneven hearts of the people in Jingzhou, the lord will definitely be able to take Jingzhou in one go when he sends troops at this time! ”

In Sun Quan's eyes, Lu Meng, who said that Guan Yu was arrogant, did not know that he was also extremely arrogant in the eyes of others at this moment.

"Supreme can't! At present, our Jiangdong can be newly defeated, and the morale of the army is low. If you send troops to Jingzhou at this moment, the veteran soldiers of the division will be tired, and there will be no chance of winning! ”

Just as Lu Meng's words fell, without waiting for Sun Quan to express his attitude, Changshi Zhang Zhao stood up to express his opposition, making Sun Quan secretly hate in his heart.

There is no way, if you oppose it, you will oppose it, but who told him that he has no eyesight, and he has to use the defeat as a reason? Isn't this pouring salt on Sun Quan's wounds!

"Don't you know that Jingzhou is where it comes in? If Jingzhou is in hand, we don't have to attack Hefei repeatedly. Directly out of Jingzhou, you can go straight to the Central Plains...... Supreme, this is a God-given opportunity, if you don't take it, you will be blamed, please make a decision! ”

Lu Meng, who only had Guan Yu and Jingzhou in his eyes, saw that Sun Quan's face was uncertain under Zhang Zhao's 'divine assistance', and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"I don't know what Zijing thinks?"

It's just that Sun Quan is also a hero after all, even if he was hurt by Zhang Zhao's words, he finally endured it and turned his head to look at the capital governor Lu Su.

Speaking of which, long before Zhuge Liang, Lu Su had proposed a Jiangdong version of the 'Longzhong Pair' plan to Sun Quan.

In this plan, the most important step is to take Jingzhou and master the entire Yangtze River defense line. Then he seized Yizhou, divided the river and ruled, and then went north to the Central Plains to unify the country.

Whether Jingzhou is in hand directly affects whether the Yangtze River natural insurance in Jiangdong's hands is complete. Only by taking full control of the Yangtze River defense line can Jiangdong truly mitigate the threat from the west and north.

At the same time, Jingzhou is also the key to whether Jiangdong can go on the Northern Expedition. As the saying goes, to defend the river must defend the Huai, but on the other hand, if the southern regime wants to wave the Northern Expedition, it can only take the Huai River area and Jingzhou as the base of the Northern Expedition.

But after two battles of Hefei, Sun Quan, who had already secured the title of 'Sun 100,000', now saw that Hefei was no longer feasible, so he naturally wanted to transfer the target to Jingzhou, which was relatively easy.

It's just that although the Jiangdong version of 'Longzhong Pair' was proposed by Lu Su, the matter of 'lending' Nanjun was also advocated by him at the beginning.

Therefore, at this time, if Sun Quan wants to transfer his strategic goals, he will naturally want to ask Lu Su, the 'party', for his opinion.

"Returning to the Supreme, Jingzhou is indeed a place to be used, and it is related to the lifeblood of my Jiangdong. If there is no Jingzhou, there is almost no screen for the establishment of the country in Jiangdong! ”

Facing Sun Quan's solemn expression, Lu Su did not conceal its importance to Jiangdong because 'Jingzhou' was lent by himself.

"However, of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao monopolized nine of them. Although there was a defeat of Chibi before, it did not damage its foundation. And today, the trend is that the north is strong and the south is weak. Sun Liu Alliance, Shang Ke Gong Cao Cao; If Sun Liu breaks up, Cao Cao will break up...... I thought that Jingzhou and my Jiangdong would take it, but it was not at this time! ”

Immediately following the previous words, Lu Su pointed out the importance of the Sun-Liu alliance to Sun Quan and Jiangdong Qunchen from a higher level of strategic thinking.

To put it simply, although Jingzhou is important, it is also related to the screen of Jiangdong's statehood, but compared to facing Cao Cao, a more ferocious 'foreign enemy', it is nothing.

After all, if you want to build a country and become a 'great cause', you have to save it, right? If survival is not guaranteed, what is the 'great cause'?

"Zi Jing is really the son of the lonely, if there is no Zi Jing, the lone few make a big mistake, please accept the lonely!"

Originally, Sun Quan, who wanted to transfer his strategic goals because of the two defeats in Hefei, and by the way recovered some face from the Jingzhou battlefield, after listening to Lu Su's analysis, he stood up and saluted him solemnly.

In fact, in the original book and the original history, one of the most important reasons why Sun Quan was called the 'half-life famous master', and the reason why Jiangdong monarchs and ministers were called 'rat generations' was because of the death of strategic ministers and strong generals like Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

It can be said that if Zhou Yu does not die, Liu Bei may not be able to grab Yizhou. If Lu Su does not die, Liu Bei may not lose Jingzhou.

However, after Zhou Yu and Lu Su, there were no such strategic-level ministers and strong generals in Jiangdong, and they only saw the importance of Jingzhou in Jiangdong one-sidedly, but ignored the more important grand strategy of the Sun-Liu Alliance.

Therefore, after backstabbing Guan Yu and successfully attacking Jingzhou, even if most of the Jiangdong version of the 'Longzhong Pair' planned by Lu Su has been completed, Sun Quan can still only consolidate his status of 'Sun 100,000' again and again, and Jiangdong monarchs and ministers can only continue to be their rats, trapped in a corner without doing anything!

"The supreme is too famous, this is the duty of the people who should do their duty!"

In the face of Sun Quan's gift, Lu Su, who was portrayed as an honest man in the romance, also quickly got up and returned the salute.

"Supreme, now the four counties of Changsha have been recovered, and Mrs. Sun has returned to Jiangdong for several years. Now that the invitation to the 'Lumen Wenhui' has arrived in Jingzhou, why not take this opportunity to send him back to Jingzhou to reunite with Uncle Liu Huang and his wife......

Seeing that Sun Quan realized the importance of the current Sun-Liu Alliance, in order to better maintain the current alliance, Lu Su also took the opportunity of Liu Chan to send 'Ice Muscle Paper' and invitations to Sun Shangxiang, and proposed to send Sun Shangxiang back to Jingzhou.

"Zijing's words are wrong! Thinking that Liu Bei is now married to another person, if he sends Mrs. Sun back at this time, wouldn't it be a humiliation for himself, and how can the face of the Supreme and my Jiangdong remain? ”

Not everyone can face up to and correct their mistakes, after hearing Lu Su's proposal to send Sun Shangxiang back to Jingzhou, as one of the 'culprits' of this matter, Changshi Zhang Zhaoli once again stood up against it.

"Well, what Zijing said is not unreasonable. It's just that she doesn't want to go back, and she ...... alone Lone really can't force it. According to Gu, this matter will be ...... when the time is ripe."

In the end, I don't know if it's really because of Sun Shangxiang, or because of the face problem that Zhang Zhao said, or both.

In short, in the face of Lu Su's proposal that could have repaired the gap between the Sun-Liu alliance as much as possible, Sun Quan did not accept it, and just prevaricated with the sentence 'When the time is ripe'.

However, what Sun Quan didn't know was that this was already his last chance. Later, when he recalled this incident again, as a 'returning marquis', he couldn't help but regret it.

"Hehe, speaking of this and even respecting family affairs, it is a bit abrupt. However, since the Supreme had already planned, Na Su would not say more. It's just that this matter of the 'Lumen Cultural Society', please make it clear to the Supreme. ”

Seeing that Sun Quan was unwilling to say much about sending Sun Shangxiang back to Jingzhou, Lu Su, who couldn't help but sigh in his heart, could only change the topic immediately.
