Chapter 1013 - Statement of Interest
Lu Su smiled, and his eyes fell on Zhuge Liang. ()
He was looking forward to Zhuge Liang's next performance, because Lu Su felt that the person in front of him was no less than Zhou Yu.
Zhuge Jin came to Jiangdong and was recommended to Sun Jian by Lu Su.
The two have a good relationship, so Lu Su knows Zhuge Jin very well. Through Zhuge Jin, Lu Su learned a lot about Zhuge Liang and knew that Zhuge Liang was talented.
Lu Su can fully understand what Zhuge Liang said at the beginning, because Zhuge Liang, as the envoy sent by Liu Bei, came with a heavy responsibility, so he must arouse Sun Jian's interest, and then he can develop step by step, and finally complete the mission of the envoy and achieve the goal.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang said that Wu was in danger, and Lu Su also felt the same way.
The state of Wu seems to be strong and prosperous, and it has been ruled by dividing the river, but it is not impregnable, there are internal troubles, and there are strong enemies outside. Because of this, Lu Su did not stand up to refute Zhuge Liang, and wanted to use Zhuge Liang to ring the alarm bell for everyone.
Zhuge Liang stood tall and suddenly laughed out loud.
In the laughter, it seemed to be teasing Zhou Yu.
As soon as Zhou Yu returned to his seat, he suddenly heard Zhuge Liang's laughter, snorted, and said with an unhappy face: "Kong Ming, you will just play tricks." first said that Wu Guo was in danger, but now he is pretending to laugh and gain fame. Although Zhou Yu tried to test Zhuge Liang's ability, Zhuge Liang's behavior made Zhou Yu's heart angry.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked in front of Zhou Yu.
He straightened his chest, as if a majestic mountain stood in front of Zhou Yu, unclimbable.
Zhuge Liang is more than eight feet long, which is very tall. He stood with his chest and back straight, while Zhou Yu sitting, immediately forming a condescending feeling. Zhou Yu sat up straight and found that Zhuge Liang looked down at him, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yu is arrogant, and Zhuge Liang is also arrogant.
The two stared at each other, neither of them convincing the other.
Immediately, Zhuge Liang smiled, walked back to the center of the big tent, and said: "King Wu, if the soldiers and ministers under your command are all people like Gong Jin, who are very self-confident and have too small vision, and sit in the sky, I am afraid that even if the country of Wu is strong, it will be difficult to become a great weapon." Not to mention the Central Plains, even one-third of one-third of one's own land can't be handled. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he stared at Zhuge Liang angrily.
Zhuge Liang evaluated Zhou Yu as worthless, and belittled Zhou Yu as much as possible, making it difficult for Zhou Yu to accept. Even if Zhou Yu is broad-minded and can tolerate the world's affairs, he is also unhappy.
Since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, Zhuge Liang behaved so dazzlingly, which made Zhou Yu feel uncomfortable.
He moved his body and was about to stand up, but he saw Sun Jian raise his hand and press it, signaling Zhou Yu not to move.
Zhou Yu suppressed his anger and did not bother with Zhuge Liang.
Sun Jian's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there have been many talents and countless heroes. There are many people who are outstanding in learning, but there are not many people who can really do things pragmatically. Your brother Zhuge Jin is thick and calm, wise and foolish, and is a real sage. But your clever words, your remarks do not agree, if there is nothing else, please return! ”
Without speculation, Sun Jian directly ordered the expulsion.
Regarding Zhuge Liang's comments on Zhou Yu, Sun Jian was very angry.
The Jiangdong Army under his command is praised by everyone, and the people regard him as an example, but Zhuge Liang said that he is a proud and arrogant person with low vision, which makes Sun Jian unbearable. Liu Bei is just a lost dog, and he has already given face to Liu Bei's envoys, and now Zhuge Liang is arrogant and belittles Zhou Yu, so he directly ordered the expulsion.
Zhuge Liang sneered twice and said, "Before King Wu listened to my words, he said that I was clever and flattering. Either way, or not, Liang will return the same way, and King Wu can also continue to attack Jiangxia and say goodbye. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang turned around and walked out.
He looked resolute and acted decisively, without a hint of mud.
"Kong Ming and slow!"
Suddenly, Cheng Pu spoke up to stop Zhuge Liang from leaving.
Zhuge Liang turned around, stared at Cheng Pu with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Old General Cheng, are you going to leave the detainees in Xia and not let me return?" ”
Cheng Pu shook his head, then looked at Sun Jian, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, Zhuge Liang's words are conclusive, let's listen to what he has to say." If Zhuge Liang can't convince the public, he will be expelled from the camp; If the statement is reasonable, we will discuss the matter of Zhuge Liang's envoy, and ask the lord to think twice. ”
Cheng Pu is Sun Jian's old subordinate and brother, and his words carry a lot of weight.
Sun Jian pondered for a while and said, "Kong Ming, Lone will not oppress you, you can talk about it." ”
Zhuge Liang was expressionless, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there were still reasonable people in Sun Jian's camp, otherwise this matter would definitely be tricky and difficult to handle. He returned to the center of the camp, looked at Zhou Yu, and asked, "Since Gong Jin has spoken so strongly about Wu Guo, let me ask, dare to ask Gong Jin, can Wu Guo defeat the Jinfan Army?" ”
The Jinfan army led by Gan Ning was rampant across the river and was almost invincible. In particular, the Jinfan Army was established longer than the Jiangdong Naval Army, and with Wang Can's strong support, both in terms of troops and warships, they were better.
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "It's just a group of Jinfan thieves, and they can be destroyed with a backhand." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Gong Jin, you are really ...... Hehe, if the Jinfan Army can be destroyed with a backhand, I am afraid that Gan Ning will not be entrenched on the river for several years, and Wu Guo will not be helpless. If Wu wants to enter the Central Plains, he must defeat Gan Ning, otherwise he can only wait for Wang Can to kill him, and he will not be able to seize the opportunity. ”
These words were loud, sonorous, and very firm.
Sun Jian nodded secretly and agreed with Zhuge Liang's statement.
He is now sending troops to seize Jiangxia County, just to control the north and south banks of the Yangtze River and seize control of the Yangtze River, but if the Jinfan Army is not eliminated, it will be difficult for Jiangdong to go north.
Zhuge Liang continued: "Jiangdong has external troubles, there are also internal troubles, Shanyue people have lived in Huiji, Shanyin, Yuyao and other places for generations, although they are all uncivilized barbarians, but they are strong and powerful guns. Jiangdong is currently very peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and once the Shanyue people make trouble, Jiangdong will immediately fall into civil strife. If there is no war, it is better to say, but if there is a war with other princes, I am afraid that this is a fatal crisis. ”
"Moreover, there are no war horses in Jiangdong, and there is no advantage of cavalry, and if King Wu wants to conquer the Central Plains, it is impossible at present. When the infantry encountered Wang Can's cavalry, they were bound to be defeated. ”
Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Wu and Shu want to compare, the navy can't win, the infantry can't win, but Wang Can can use the advantage of the navy to crisscross Jiangdong." As long as Wang Can takes Xiangyang, he will definitely point to Jiangdong, and then it will be the day of the fall of Eastern Wu, in this case, is it not that Wu is in danger? ”
Zhou Yu's face was as pale as earth, but he had to admit Zhuge Liang's words.
He and Sun Ce have always been committed to the training of the navy, but the navy is still one line behind Ganning's Jinfan army, if it were not for the Jiangdong navy to occupy the advantages of troops, grain and grass, and cities, it would be difficult to contain Ganning's navy.
Sun Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and admitted Zhuge Liang's words.
He changed the subject, stopped discussing the topic, and asked; "Kong Ming, you are Liu Bei's envoy, you came to ask for help on this trip, what sincerity does Liu Bei have?"
Zhuge Liang also breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand and said: "The lord is willing to cede Jiangxia County to King Wu and let King Wu attack." However, King Wu needed to wave his troops north and go to Xiangyang to resist the Shu army. ”
Sun Jian smiled and said: "I took Jiangxia by myself, wouldn't it be better to resist the Shu army again?" ”
In the words, the meaning revealed is to divide Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "King Wu, as long as my lord stays in Xiangyang for one day, he will resist the Shu army for one day." In this way, Wu Guo can also not be threatened, which is a win-win solution. Not only that, only when my lord occupies Xiangyang, can King Wu have the opportunity to strengthen the naval army and cut off internal troubles, I believe King Wu should understand. ”
Cheng Pu clenched his fists and said: "Lord, Kong Ming is reasonable, and the old minister thinks that he can send troops to rescue." ”
Lu Su and Zhuge Jin also agreed, and finally Zhou Yu also agreed.
The general trend is that it is obviously better to have Liu Bei to resist Wang Can. In the end, Sun Jian agreed to Zhuge Liang's conditions and promised to send troops to Xiangyang to aid Liu Bei, but Jiangxia County also had to leave soldiers and strive to take Jiangxia in one go.
In this way, Zhuge Liang's task on this trip was completed.
