Zhuge Liang's words are really a little too appalling.

The four princes guard one side, and they are all the supremes of their respective territories, and they usually say the same.

Now, Zhuge Liang said that he would select a commander and let the four princes obey this person's orders, which is simply wishful thinking.

You must know, with the status of the four princes, who in this world can make them so condescending?

Zhou Yu immediately shook his head and said: "Although Kong Ming's idea is good, it is not realistic after all, who has this talent and prestige in the world?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "In the past, Guan Zhong subdued the princes of the world and helped Duke Qi Huan achieve hegemony. ”

"Le Yi commanded the alliance of the five countries, and even more than 70 cities of the Qi country, since the sages have such a feat, why can't we follow suit!"

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "Guan Zhong and Le Yi are such outstanding people, they can be convinced by the princes, and they don't think it's too much." ”

"But if there is anyone who can have this ability and prestige, and be convinced by the princes of the world!"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Although Liang is not talented, he feels that his talent is not under Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and he is worthy of the position of commander of the four countries." ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang no longer had the humility of the past, but became sharp.

When Sun Quan and the others heard Zhuge Liang's words, they were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so ashamed.

If Zhuge Liang had just come to Jiangdong and dared to let go of such wild words, he would definitely be criticized by everyone.

However, during Zhuge Liang's half a year in Soochow, he had fully displayed his own talents, and he had his own unique views on internal affairs, military affairs, miscellaneous studies, and law.

Even many proud Jiangdong civil and military forces, after half a year of getting along, have to admit Zhuge Liang's talent.

Not only that, Guan Yu's bravery and the elite of the white-eared soldiers left an extremely deep impression on Sun Quan and others.

The reason why Zhuge Liang has been dormant for half a year, just chatting with Dongwu every day, is precisely for today.

Therefore, when Sun Quan and others heard Zhuge Liang's words, they were immediately silent.

As far as Sun Quan is concerned, he attaches great importance to Zhuge Liang.

Sun Quan felt that if he could really command the alliance of the princes and eliminate Chen Xu, even if he temporarily obeyed Zhuge Liang's orders.

It's just that even if Sun Quan has this idea, how can Cao Cao and Yuan Tan surrender their identities?

Zhou Yu was extremely intelligent, and in a hurry, he already knew Zhuge Liang's plan, and he was shocked and sighed.

Even with Zhou Yu's talent, he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would have such pride.

It's just that he still shook his head after all and said: "Although Kong Ming is talented, after all, he has some reputation, how can he be recognized by the princes of the world?" ”

Zhuge Liang laughed softly: "In the past, Guan Zhong did business with Uncle Bao in order to make a living, but he repeatedly lost money, but he was just a down-and-out businessman. ”

"Before Le Yi commanded the armies of the five countries, who in the world knew his reputation?"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang stared at Sun Quan with burning eyes, and then bowed and saluted: "With the majesty and strategy of King Wu, it is impossible not to see the general trend of the world. ”

"In addition to gathering all the strength of the princes, what other way can check and balance Chen Wenzhao?"

"Please also ask King Wu to think twice!"

Sun Quan frowned, walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and said after a long time: "This matter is important, Mr. Please go back and rest first." ”

"Shall I convene my subordinates and discuss them carefully, and then give Mr. an answer?"

Seeing that Sun Quan seemed to be a little moved, and did not refuse at the first time, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

It's just that he still said cautiously: "If King Wu really has this intention, he must not discuss this matter with great fanfare, just gather his confidants to discuss." ”

Zhou Yu thought of the incident when Pang Tong attacked Yizhou unexpectedly, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and he nodded slightly to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan understood and immediately agreed.

In the next few days, Sun Quan convened his henchmen of Eastern Wu every day to discuss Zhuge Liang's proposals.

After everyone learned of Zhuge Liang's plan, their reactions were mixed.

Some people are silent, some people think that Zhuge Liang's words are reasonable, and some people think that Zhuge Liang does not have such prestige.

No matter how these people discussed, the news was not disseminated after all.

This kind of controversy was only confined to the upper echelons of Soochow.

After careful consideration, Zhou Yu and Lu Su jointly advised Sun Quan: "If Kong Ming has the ability to convince the rest of the princes, this plan is not impossible. ”

"It's just that the details of it will have to wait until the dust settles to continue to negotiate."

Sun Quan thought so, and immediately summoned Zhuge Liang and said: "If Mr. can convince King Qi and King Yan, Lone is not a person who ignores the overall situation." ”

"It's just that sir, how can he guarantee that when he is in command of the alliance of the princes, he can be impartial and not deliberately let the soldiers of Eastern Wu be sent to death?"

Zhuge Liang immediately said: "Even if Liang is fortunate enough to become the commander of the alliance of the princes, it is impossible for him to monopolize the power, and the princes need to send people to help." ”

"What's more, Chen Wenzhao is not dead, how dare Liang self-destruct? King Wu should rest assured in this matter. ”

Sun Quan bowed slightly when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, I will wait for good news." ”

It took half a year to show his talent in Soochow, and he got Sun Quan's affirmative reply, Zhuge Liang's first trip ended perfectly.

Time was pressing, Zhuge Liang quickly said goodbye to Sun Quan and continued to Xuzhou.

Sun Quan personally led Jiangdong Wenwu and sent Zhuge Liang twenty miles out of the city, giving Zhuge Liang enough face.

Sun Quan's move was not to build momentum for Zhuge Liang, so that he could get Cao Cao's attention when he was in Xuzhou.

After returning to the mansion, Zhou Tai said to Sun Quan: "Although Kong Ming is quite talented, it is too arrogant to try to make Ming Duke obey his dispatch. ”

"If this is the case, how can Ming Gong's face remain!"

Sun Quan sighed and said: "Guanzhong is powerful, unless the princes are truly united, how can they resist?" ”

In the past, the princes repeatedly attacked Chen, but each time they returned with a feather, and the most fundamental reason was that the princes did not really work together.

Lu Su heard Zhou Tai's words, but shook his head and said: "Youping's words are wrong, if the princes can surrender their identities, send a large army to obey the dispatch of one person, and work together to eliminate Guanzhong." ”

"Not only will it not damage the prestige of the princes, but this move will also be famous for eternity and become a beautiful talk."

"The people I am worried about are the rest of the princes, and they may not have such a mind as Ming Gong, so I am afraid they will not agree to Zhuge Kongming's suggestion."

What Lu Su meant was that Sun Quan was broad-minded and focused on the overall situation.

When Lu Su said this, Sun Quan immediately smiled.

However, it was said that Zhuge Liang left the boundary of Yangzhou and rushed to Xuzhou under the stars, but before he arrived at Tan County, the capital of Xuzhou, he encountered the cavalry under Cao Cao.

"Phew!"

As soon as he rode a fast horse to the front of Zhuge Liang, the knight grabbed the reins and asked loudly: "Dare to ask sir, but the left army division under the command of King Chu?" ”

Guan Yu replied: "It is my military advisor!" ”

The knight hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed: "The king of my family has been waiting for Mr. Zhuge for a long time, and he has been specially sent to guide Mr. Zhuge below." ”

Although Zhuge Liang made a great name in Jiangdong, he didn't expect that his reputation had spread to Xuzhou, and he was an envoy who was so valued by Cao Cao.

It feels very good.

At this time, Zhuge Liang also became more confident in his trip to Xuzhou.

Zhuge Liang and the others had just walked ten miles, and suddenly saw a lot of dust in front of them, but it was Cao Ren who led hundreds of elite horsemen to greet them.

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhuge who came?"

This time, Zhuge Liang personally replied: "It's not talented, it's down!" ”

Cao Ren also rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed: "My lord has been waiting for Mr. for a long time, so let me come to greet him." ”

Cao Ren's actions made Zhuge Liang a little confused.

There were people in front of him who came to greet him, but it was nothing, but Cao Cao sent people to greet him one after another, and the meaning expressed in it had to be carefully evaluated.

Zhuge Liang didn't think that he had such a big reputation and was worthy of Cao Cao's actions.

Ten miles away from Tanxian County, Cao Cao is leading Xuzhou civil and military, commanding the army to be ready for battle.

Looking from afar, I saw the flag fluttering, the soldiers mighty, and the armor was fine.

Xiahou Yuan glanced at Cao Cao beside him, and asked with some puzzlement: "Lord, Zhuge Liang is just a military advisor in Jingzhou, why do you want to put on such a big battle and come to meet this person?" ”

Not only Xiahou Yuan, but also the rest of the Cao clan were puzzled.

Only Guo Jia and the others showed a wise light in their eyes, smiling without saying a word.

Cao Cao looked into the distance and said: "Zhuge Kongming sent an envoy to Eastern Wu, and he only stayed there for half a year, and was recognized by almost all Jiangdong civil and military forces. ”

"Tell me, who else has this ability?"

When the generals heard this, they were silent.

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said: "I don't believe that Zhuge Kongming came to Xuzhou this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ”

"Maybe, it's going to be a turning point."

The light in Guo Jia's eyes became more and more prosperous.

Ever since he knew that Zhuge Liang had sent Dongwu to envoy and spent half a year to subdue Dongwu, Guo Jia felt that he was excited all over his body.

In fact, what Zhuge Liang could think of, Guo Jia couldn't think of.

It's just that Guo Jia is just a simple strategist, although he has the heart to conspire and gather all the forces of the princes to attack Chen, but he is also unable to catch it.

But the appearance of Zhuge Liang made Guo Jia see hope.

He also wanted to see how capable this Jingxiang celebrity, nicknamed Wolong, was.

However, it was said that Cao Ren led Zhuge Liang, and his attitude was very friendly and attentive along the way, and everyone went forward for a distance, and suddenly saw a flag in front of him covering the sky and the sun.

After a short distance forward, Zhuge Liang finally saw Cao Cao who went out of the city to greet him, as well as the dense Xuzhou army.

When Zhuge Liang saw the mighty Cao Jun, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.

He didn't expect that Cao Cao would give such face and put on such a big battle to meet him.
