Chapter 10 The 10th Jiangdong Longqi

At this time, on the Jiangdong side, Jingzhou was attacked by Cao Cao, Liu Biao was dead, and there was only Jiangxia in Jingzhou. The urgent report that Liu Qi had not surrendered to Cao Cao spread one after another to the Jiangdong city of Chaisang. Sun Quan was in Chaisang, and while he was in doubt, he received a report from Cao Cao that he had taken Jiangling directly to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Hanjin Ferry in the middle of the night.Sun Quan also knew that Cao Cao's next target must be his Jiangdong nine counties, so he hurriedly convened a staff meeting to discuss how to deal with the current dangerous situation.

Sun Quan's minister Lu Su said: Jingzhou is adjacent to Jiangdong. The mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid, and the money and food are abundant. If the lord takes advantage of the situation and seizes it, he will unify the world and the foundation of the emperor's great cause. Now that most of Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, Jiangdong will accept it. Cao Cao threatened that only Jiangxia is still occupied by Liu Qi and Liu Bei, which can be used as a buffer. Therefore, it is advisable to go to Jiangxia and inquire about the news nearby. If Liu Bei can be persuaded to fight Cao Cao with me, and then wait to attack Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be successful.

Sun Quan agreed with Lu Su's opinion, so Lu Su sailed along the Yangtze River by boat to Jiangxia in the name of Liu Biao's death, Jiangdong mourning Liu Cong. In Jiangxia, Kong Ming trains Liu Qi's navy day and night. Liu Qi regards Kong Ming as his savior and knows that he is a military genius.Moreover, Liu Qi also knows that he is facing a life-and-death crisis. His younger brother Liu Cong has been assassinated, so Liu Qi dare not even think of surrendering. Apart from relying on the power of Liu Bei and Kong Ming to resist Cao Cao, he has almost no way out. can go. On this day, Kong Ming, Liu Bei, and Liu Qi discussed the plan to resist Cao Cao in the Yamen of Jiangxia Mansion. Kong Ming said: Cao Cao is powerful, and with Jiang Xia's strength, it may be difficult to resist.We can only join forces with Sun Quan in the east as a support, and let Jiangdong fight Cao Cao, so that our army can take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Liu Bei said: "Jiangdong is full of talents, and there must be people who are far-sighted and far-sighted. I'm afraid that the plan that Mr. Encourages will be seen through." Kong Ming smiled and said: "Cao Cao is so powerful now, Jiangdong is directly threatened by Cao Cao, and his next target must be Jiangdong Sun Quan. Sun Quan must have judged this point."Jiangdong strives to protect himself, so he has no choice but to join forces with me. This move is for each of us, and Jiangdong is not allowed to hesitate. As long as Cao Cao and Sun Quan annex each other, it will be very beneficial to our army. If Jiangdong wins, we will destroy them together. Cao Jun, to take Jingzhou, if Cao Jun wins, then I will take advantage of the situation and move eastward to attack Jiangdong and the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

What Kong Ming said at this time was the strategic plan he made for Liu Bei on the eve of the Battle of Chibi.The development of the situation in the future will basically evolve according to Kong Ming's strategic plan.Zhuge Kongming's insight into the opportunity, the use of tactics, in the absolute disadvantage, between the two great powers, from which to create a favorable opportunity, his flexible use of military strategy and tactics has reached a state of perfection. While discussing, it was reported that Sun Quan in the east of the river had sent Lu Su to mourn the funeral, and his boat had already berthed on the bank of Jiangxia.

Kong Ming smiled and said: "My plan can be implemented."He paused and asked Liu Qi: "When Sun Ce died that day, did Jingzhou send people to Jiangdong to mourn the funeral?" Liu Qi said: "Jiang Dong and my family have a feud for murder, how can there be a mourning ceremony?" Kong Ming said with a smile: "In that case, Lu Su's trip is not to mourn the funeral, but to inquire about the development of our army and Cao's army on the spot." Kong Ming turned to Liu Bei again and said: "When Lu Su arrives, if you ask about Cao Cao's movements, the lord will only say that he doesn't know. When he asks again and again, the lord will say that he can ask Zhuge Liang."Liu Bei readily agreed.

After a while, Lu Su arrived at Liu Qi's mansion in Jiangxia, and expressed condolences to Liu Qi. Liu Qi asked Lu Su to meet Liu Bei.Liu Bei and Liu Qi invited Lu Su into the back hall for a drink and chat. Before the glass was finished, Lu Su couldn't wait to say: "I have heard about Uncle Liu's name for a long time, and I have no chance to meet him. I am very happy to meet you today. I have heard about the fierce battle between Uncle Liu and Cao Cao recently. You must know." Whether it's true or false, please let the emperor tell me, okay? As soon as Liu Bei heard it, he followed Kongming's arrangement, sighed slightly and said, "Liu Bei has few generals, and he must retreat when he hears that Cao's army is approaching. How do you know the truth?"

Lu Su hurriedly said: But I heard that the emperor's uncle had Zhuge Kongming to help him, and he had a clever plan. A big fire burned Cao Jun to the point of despair. Why did he say he didn't know Cao Jun's truth? Liu Bei said: "Everything is planned by Kong Ming. If you want to know the details, you can't ask Kong Ming." As soon as Lu Su heard it, he hurriedly said, "Is Kong Ming here?"Please invite Lu Su to meet him. Liu Bei didn't refuse, so he sent someone to ask Kong Ming to come out and meet Lu Su.The two worshiped each other, and Lu Su said anxiously: Lu Su has heard the name of Mr. Wolong, and his elder brother Zhuge Jin also participated in politics in Jiangdong. .

Kongming smiled and said: "I have known all about Cao Cao's tricks, but unfortunately his strength is too weak to break it, so I have to avoid it." Lu Su said: But is it enough for Liu Huangshu to stay here? Kongming said: "The emperor's uncle has friendship with Wu Chen, the prefect of Cangwu, and he is going to join him. When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help being startled, and said in puzzlement: "Wu Chenliang has few soldiers, and he can't protect himself. How can he accommodate the emperor's uncle?" Kongming said: "Although it is difficult for Wu Chen to live for a long time, he is forced by the situation and has to go for refuge, and then think of other strategies."

Lu Su wanted to join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, and then took advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou. Now seeing Kong Ming, he felt afraid of Cao Cao and was about to flee north. A virtuous and respectful person, the hearts of the people of Jiangdong belong to him, and his foundation is solid.For the sake of my uncle, it is better to send my confidants to Jiangdong to unite with General Sun to fight against the strong Cao, that is the best policy. Kongming smiled in his heart, but he said in his mouth: Uncle Huang and General Sun have never had any contact, so going here is probably a waste of words, and there is no confidant to send to Jiangdong.

Seeing that Kong Ming's tone had softened, Lu Su was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Sir, brother, he is now serving as a staff officer in Jiangdong, and he looks forward to seeing you day and night. If you want to go, Lu Su is willing to introduce you to General Sun, and then Discuss the major event of fighting against Cao. Before Kong Ming could answer, Liu Bei hastily said: Mr. Kong Ming is my teacher, and he cannot be separated for a moment, how can he go to Jiangdong?Lu Su asked Kong Ming to go to Jiangdong again and again, but Liu Bei still refused. Kong Ming said: "The situation is urgent. I'm afraid I have to go to Jiangdong." Liu Bei followed his plan and agreed to let Kong Ming go to Jiangdong. Lu Su smiled happily and assured Liu Bei repeatedly that Kong Ming would be safe and sound. At that moment, Kong Ming bid farewell to Liu Bei and Liu Qi, he didn't even take any soldiers with him, and only Diaoxue accompanied him as his junior sister. Seeing that Kong Ming trusted him very much, Lu Su couldn't help being moved, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what It also guarantees the personal safety of Kong Ming. Kongming and Diaoxue boarded Lu Su's original light boat and headed for Chaisang County in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.When he was about to arrive in Chaisang County, Lu Su specifically told Kong Ming: When I see General Sun later, don't let out that Cao Cao is powerful and has many soldiers and generals. Kong Ming smiled and said: Brother Zijing, don't worry, I will handle everything properly.When the boat arrived in Chaisang County, because Lu Su was present, Jiangdong's soldiers not only did not interrogate, but were very respectful, so the journey went smoothly. Lu Su took Kong Ming and Diaoxue ashore and entered Chaisangzhong.Lu Su first arranged for Kong Ming and Diaoxue to rest in the post, and he himself rushed to see Sun Quan immediately. At this time, Sun Quan was gathering ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss matters in the court hall.Before Lu Su entered, Sun Quan couldn't wait to inquire, "Zijing is going to Jiangxia, can he find out what happened to Cao Jun?" Lu Su said: "The general feeling is known, but I will report it to the lord later." As soon as Sun Quan heard this, he handed a letter of appeal to Lu Su, saying: "This is someone sent by Cao Cao to Jiangdong. I will send the envoy away first, and then discuss how to deal with it." Lu Su took over Cao Cao's submission, but saw that it said: I have been ordered by the emperor recently to crusade against all kinds of rebels. The general came to Jiangxia to attack Liu Bei together and divide the land of Jingzhou together. We will form an alliance forever in the future. Please don't hesitate to wait and see, lest you make mistakes. After Lu Su read it, he said angrily in his heart: This is the book of surrender.But he didn't dare to be reckless, so he asked Sun Quan first: "What is my lord planning to do?" Sun Quan hesitated and said, "Whether to agree or not, I can't make a conclusion yet." At this time, Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan's confidant minister, hurriedly said: "Cao Cao has millions of people, and he uses the name of the emperor to conquer the west. If he resists, his name will be wrong and his words will not go well."Moreover, the reason why Jiangdong was able to reject Cao Cao in the north and prefer Jiangdong was due to the natural danger of the Yangtze River.Now that Cao Cao has acquired Jingzhou and occupied the key points of the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous, and Jiangdong is no longer alone.In my opinion, surrendering to Cao Cao is the best policy. All the counselors present said in unison: Zhang Sima's words are exactly what we are waiting for. When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't make a sound, but he still seemed hesitant. Seeing this, Zhang Zhao hurriedly urged: "My lord, don't hesitate, otherwise there will be chaos. If you surrender Cao, the people of the eastern Wu will be safe, and the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River will be safe." Sun Quan bowed his head and remained silent.After a while, he suddenly wanted to go inside and change clothes.When Lu Su saw Lu Su, he followed closely. Sun Quan respected Lu Su very much and knew that he would have something to say to him, so he went into the back hall, held Lu Su's hand and said, "Why did Zijing teach me?" Lu Su said angrily: "The intention of everyone just now was not for the sake of you, General, but for their own self-interest." Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Why?" Lu Su said: "Anyone in Jiangdong can surrender to Cao, and there must be high-ranking officials and rich salary, but if a general surrenders to Cao, can he still sit in Jiangdong?"Liu Cong from Jingzhou disappeared after he surrendered to Cao Cao, or he was killed by Cao Cao. When Sun Quan heard it, he couldn't help but sighed and said: "I also know that what the people said is for self-protection, not for my own sake. Only by respecting you can you be loyal to me!"However, Cao Cao has already gained the strong military power in Jingzhou, and his power is as strong as the sky, so it may be difficult to resist. Lu Su hurriedly said: Although Cao Cao is powerful, he is irresistible, so can't he be outsmarted?On my trip to Jiangxia, I have invited Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin's younger brother, to Jiangdong. If my lord asks him for advice, he will definitely have a strategy to defeat the enemy. When Sun Quan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Did Mr. Wolong come to Jiangdong?"But if I asked him about this, he must have underestimated Jiangdong's talents. Tomorrow, when we gather in the civil and military hall, I will first teach Kong Ming to see me as Jiangdong's hero, and then it will not be too late to meet him. Lu Su knew that Sun Quan was very jealous of Liu Bei, and Kong Ming was Liu Bei's military adviser, so Sun Quan's intention must be to demonstrate to Kong Ming first, so that he would not dare to despise Jiangdong, so he agreed to Sun Quan's arrangement. Lu Su rushed to the post to meet Kong Ming and told him that Sun Quan would meet him in court tomorrow. He also carefully told Kong Ming: "When you see the lord tomorrow, don't say that Cao Cao has too many soldiers!"Kong Ming smiled and said: Don't worry, Zijing, I will see what happens and I will never miss anything. Diaoxue accompanied Kongming from Jiangxia to Chaisang in Jiangdong by boat, and has been silent all the time.Until then, she watched Lu Su leave, and then suddenly sighed faintly. Although Diaoxue's sigh was low, but Kong Ming's skills were superb and his eyesight was so good that it was difficult to track the fallen leaves and flowers within a mile.Hearing this, he looked at Diaoxue, smiled slightly, and said softly: Junior Sister Diaoxue must be confused by the current situation. Diaoxue couldn't help chirping, and said: Brother Zhuge has good eyesight, how can he know what Diaoxue is thinking? Kongming also sighed slightly at this time, and thought to himself: Since we joined Liu Bei's army, we have undergone drastic changes, fighting north and south, and never returning to the tranquility of the days of prosperity, how can she get used to life in this army?How could I not know her thoughts, but Master and the old man expected that she was a person in the pattern of three-point heavenly secrets and general trends, and she had to experience it here, so how could her original destiny resist the natural forces? Kongming changed his mind, and whispered to Diaoxue: Junior Sister Diaoxue is very quiet, and she misses the time when she and Master faced each other day and night in Wollongong. Naturally, I feel confused while fighting in the army here, but according to Master's prediction, Junior Sister and I Your own destiny is inseparable from the general trend of heaven, so how can you resist it?Junior sisters should let go of their hearts and face it bravely. When Diao Xue heard this, she suddenly understood that the reason why Kong Ming took her to Jiangdong was to take the opportunity to enlighten and comfort her.She couldn't help but sweeten her heart, half of the confusion disappeared, but she couldn't help blurting out with a shy smile: Even so, when will this military career end?My senior brother, when will you be able to be quiet and do nothing, and swim freely in the mountains and rivers as you like? When Kong Ming heard this, he couldn't help but sighed slightly, and thought to himself: This point is difficult even for me to comprehend for the time being. The kit left by my master can only be opened when I am fifty-four years old. Is it because of my current military career? Does it take twenty-eight years? But this is the secret of natal life that involves celestial secrets, and Kong Ming feels that he has not yet penetrated it, so he will never reveal it to anyone.He softly comforted Diaoxue, then let her go to rest first, and he stayed in the quiet room by himself, thinking carefully about the details of Sun Quan's response when they meet tomorrow. Hard heart battle! The next day, Lu Su went to the post office in person to welcome Kong Ming to Sun Quan's meeting hall. Because Diaoxue was only Liu Bei's guest, it was inconvenient to attend the meeting, so she stayed in the posthouse. Kong Ming followed Lu Su to Sun Quan's mansion in Chaisang County, and went straight into Sun Quan's meeting hall. He saw that Jiangdong's talents were all gathered together, more than 20 people, all ministers of Eastern Wu from Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, etc. Both are. Lu Su introduced Kong Ming to everyone, and Kong Ming greeted everyone one by one, and then sat Shi Shiran at the guest table. As soon as Kongming sat down, Zhang Zhao was the first to speak: Zhang Zhao is a young man in Jiangdong. Mr. Jiuwen is Gao Wolongzhong, known as Mr. Wolong, and he compares himself to Guan and Le. I don't know if there is such a thing? Kong Ming said: "This is just the solution to the folk reputation." Zhang Zhao didn't relax, and immediately took advantage of the topic and said: "Longzhiwo can soar into the sky; Guan Zhong and Le Yi are both heroes of the cause of the cause, but Mr. Liu Huangshu visited Maolu three times and came out of the mountain to help him. Forced to abandon Xinye, go to Fancheng, defeat Dangyang, and go to Xiakou, there is almost no room for them.I thought that before Uncle Liu Huang got Mr. and after Mr. Shang Sheng got Mr. Guan Zhong and Le Yi, were they so inferior?With all due respect, please don't take offense. When Kong Ming heard this, he couldn't help but sneered slightly in his heart, and thought to himself: Zhang Zhao is Sun Quan's chief adviser, if he doesn't gag his mouth first, how can the rest be subdued?So he smiled calmly and said: Zhuge Liang has no virtue and incompetence. In the first battle of Xinye, he frightened away a hundred thousand soldiers of Cao's army with only a few thousand weak soldiers; , The fire made Cao Jun ghosts cry, trembling and afraid to advance lightly.The soldiers of our army can also fight bravely, so that Zhao Zilong rescued the young master from a million troops, and Zhang Yide alone repelled Cao Cao's 100,000 soldiers.Liu Huangshu has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, he would rather give up Jiangling, travel only ten miles a day, and flee with hundreds of thousands of people, with such a heart, who in the world can compare?Winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists, and the most important thing is not to be arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and you can achieve great things in the end.If such a person does not seek stability as the mastermind, he first seeks to protect himself; no one can match his boastful talk;Is this someone who is loyal to protect the Lord? Kong Ming's sharp blows stabbed Zhang Zhao in pain, and he couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart, which was very uncomfortable. At this time, Gu Yong, the second counselor under Sun Quan's account, saw that Zhang Zhao was overwhelmed by Kong Ming's eloquence, and he was not convinced. He immediately said, "Excuse me, sir, now Cao Cao has a million soldiers and a thousand generals. Mr. Hu Shi Jiang Xia, what do you think?" how? Kongming laughed and said: "Cao Cao's army is nothing more than the soldiers of Yuan Shao's old army gathered like ants, and Liu Biao's mob in Jingzhou. Even if there are millions of people, why should we be afraid?" Gu Yong sneered and said: "Mr.'s army was defeated in Dangyang, and he was impoverished in Xiakou, so he was forced to ask others for help. Do you still dare to speak extravagantly?" Kongming smiled calmly and said: Uncle Liu has thousands of soldiers, but he still dares to fight against Cao Cao's army of millions.From this point of view, the weak are not afraid, and the strong are trembling. Doesn't it make people feel ashamed and want to die? Gu Yong was stunned speechless by Kong Ming's pain.Then Yu Fan, Xue Zong, Lian Li, Yan Yan, Cheng Deshu and others under Sun Quan's tent attacked Kong Ming one after another, but Kong Ming refuted them one by one, and he was speechless. Zhang Wen, another counselor of Sun Quan in the seat, was about to make trouble again, when a general strode into the hall, it was Huang Gai, Sun Quan's grain transport officer, and he said sharply, "Kong Ming is a genius in this world. He came to Jiangdong, and he can be saved by the lord." , you don't want to pay respects, but instead fight with words?Do you know that Cao Cao's army is already under pressure, and Jiangdong is at stake. As soon as Huang Gai said this, all the counselors were speechless.It turned out that when Lu Su saw Zhang Zhao and the others, he was very heartbroken. He was afraid of falling out with Kong Ming, so he asked Huang Gai, who had a close friendship with him, to come in to rescue Kong Ming. At that moment, Huang Gai bowed his hands to Kongming and said: "Mr. Jinshi's good words, it is useless to say more here. It is better to talk to my lord in detail to save Jiangdong from danger." Kongming smiled and said: "Only by knowing the opportunity and advancing bravely can we defeat the enemy and win. You gentlemen are not clear about the general situation of the world today, so I have to explain it in detail."Kong Ming's words undoubtedly woke up Zhang Zhao and others, and saved enough face, because Kong Ming also did not want to fall out with Jiangdong's advisors at this critical moment. Zhang Zhao and the others finally figured it out and stopped talking, but Sun Quan refused to see Kong Ming because he reasoned that he was ill.Kong Ming didn't insist either, and said with a smile that he would go back to the post and wait. Lu Su and Huang Gai had no choice but to send Kong Ming back to the post.Lu Su asked Kong Ming to stay at ease first, and he must find an opportunity to ask Sun Quan to agree to meet him.After Lu Su finished speaking, he and Huang Gai hurriedly said goodbye and left. Seeing that Kong Ming was wasting his tongue all day long, but Sun Quan refused to meet him, Diao Xue couldn't help but angrily said: "This Sun Quan is very hateful!"The senior brother did not hesitate to cross the river at the risk, and came to see him from afar, but he refused people thousands of miles away!Angry Diao Xue, she sneaked into his residence tonight and slapped him awake. Kong Ming smiled and said: "Sun Quan refused to see me. He is indeed sick, but this disease is not a disease of the body, but a disease of Sun Quan's heart!"When he feels that the doctors are helpless, he will naturally step down to greet him. The next day, Lu Su was afraid that Kong Ming would be shaken by the cold, so he came to the post to comfort him in person, explaining again and again that Sun Quan was really ill, and when he recovered, he would definitely invite Kong Ming to meet him. Diaoxue was beside her, and couldn't help but annoyed: "Now it's not us who ask Jiangdong, but Jiangdong who asks us, but keeps it difficult for several times, and refuses to see him. How can this be the way of sincere hospitality?" Lu Su was speechless and smiled helplessly. Seeing this, Kong Ming whispered something to Lu Su, and then said with a smile: "Zi Jing only needs to be like this, and I expect General Sun to invite him." When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and happy, and agreed to act according to plan.Then Lu Su hurriedly said goodbye and left. Lu Su returned to Sun Quan's mansion and went straight to the inner hall. At this time, Sun Quan was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and meditating, motionless.He knew that Lu Su broke in, so he ignored it, and just ignored it. Lu Su went to Sun Quan's bedside, and according to Kong Ming's order, he whispered: My lord is sick, and the doctors are helpless. Does my lord know why? When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but opened his eyes and said, "Why?"Zijing. Lu Su whispered: "Because my lord's illness is a heart disease, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine." Sun Quan's secret pain was exposed by one word, and he couldn't help saying: Zijing!Where can I find this heart medicine?You can tell the truth. When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and thought to himself: Kong Ming not only knows the sky and the earth, but also knows the subtleties of people's deeds. Such a genius is really hard to find in the world!It was inconvenient for him to tell the truth, so he said: The person who can heal this heart is in Jiangdong, why did the lord refuse to see him? Sun Quan was very smart, and he knew who Lu Su was referring to as soon as he heard it. He couldn't help sighing: I heard that Mr. Zhuge is a generation of crouching dragons who know the sky, the earth, and people.What Zijing said must have been taught by Kong Ming, unexpectedly, he saw through my thoughts in a single glance!Please invite Mr. Zhuge into the palace to meet you. As soon as Lu Su heard it, he heard the sound of Lun, and immediately went to the residence where Kong Ming stayed in the city, and invited Mr. Zhuge to enter the palace to meet Sun Quan. Diaoxue said angrily, "Since General Sun asked Mr. Zhuge, why didn't he come to visit him in person?"Instead, invite people into the palace? Lu Su panicked: "My lord is indeed feeling a little unwell, so I can't visit him in person, please forgive me." Kong Ming smiled and said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Why care about such trivial things?"I will enter the palace to meet General Sun right now. Kong Ming followed Lu Su to Sun Quan's sleeping palace. Sun Quan received the report that Kong Ming had arrived. He didn't dare to neglect at this time, so he got up quickly, welcomed Kong Ming in, and discussed the general situation of the world with Zhuge Liang in the secret room. Sun Quan's secrets were exactly as Kong Ming expected. After he received Cao Cao's threatening letter, he hated, angry and timid in his heart, and was very afraid of the threat of Cao Cao's million-strong army.Therefore, whether it is surrender or war, I will never give up in my heart. It was the first time that Kong Ming had a face-to-face conversation with Sun Quan. He took a look at Sun Quan, but seeing that this man had a magnificent appearance, a large mouth, and a red light in his eyes, which flowed faintly. It is judged that the Sun family has been sheltered by the dragon energy of the Chilong, and the descendants of the Sun family must have the veins of the emperor. Looking at Sun Quan's appearance now, he has indeed accepted the dragon energy of the Chilong ancestral vein, and the red light in his eyes is overflowing. It's time for prosperity!Therefore, this person cannot be persuaded with words, but can only be encouraged. Kong Ming thought about it in his heart, and he said frankly: To be honest, my lord Liu Bei, in today's chaotic world, gathered people to gather righteousness, and wanted to fight the world with Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the north, conquered Jingzhou in the south, and shocked the world. My lord is also powerless to resist, so he fled here.At this time, General Sun has to think according to his abilities. If he can use the power of Jiangdong to counter Cao Cao, he should break up with him as soon as possible to avoid internal hesitation and change; if he cannot resist, he should give up his armor and bow his head to Cao Cao!Otherwise, according to the current situation in Jiangdong, obeying Cao Cao on the surface, but hesitating in the secret deployment, and failing to make a decisive decision at the critical moment, catastrophe is not far away. When Sun Quan heard this, the red aura in Sun Quan's eyes couldn't help blazing, shining brightly, making people fearful, but Kong Ming smiled slightly. He knew that the red dragon aura lurking in Sun Quan's body had been stimulated by him, and he was about to Stimulating his heart, making his blood boil, the red dragon energy in his blood was stimulated. Sure enough, Sun Quan said bitterly: How can I be controlled by others with the nine counties in Jiangdong and a hundred thousand troops?Give this ancestral foundation to Cao Cao!I am determined. Kong Ming smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself: Although your red dragon spirit was aroused by me, but only for a moment, in fact, there is still hesitation in your heart. Sure enough, the redness in Sun Quan's eyes immediately turned from hot to weak, and he stared at Kong Ming suspiciously and said: "But Cao Cao is powerful, and Liu Bei has been defeated by Cao again. Is he still capable of joining us to fight against Cao?"And if it can't, then I Jiangdong alone resisting Cao Cao, wouldn't it be self-immolation? Kongming smiled calmly at this time, and said: "Although my lord was defeated in Changban, Dangyang, there are still more than 10,000 elite sailors including Guan Yu, and the Jiangxia navy under the command of his nephew Liu Qi also has no fewer than 10,000 people."However, Cao Cao had millions of soldiers, but he came from a long distance, more than three hundred miles a day, his rear was unstable, his soldiers were exhausted, and he was at the end of his strength.Moreover, Cao Cao's army is a northern general who is not familiar with water warfare; although the Jingzhou navy is attached to Cao, it is not convinced but forced to submit, and will never fight to the death for Cao's army; Powerless also.If General Sun is determined to resist Cao, and dispatches fierce generals to command tens of thousands of troops and join forces with our Lord Liu Bei, Cao's army will surely be defeated. Kong Ming paused on purpose, looked at Sun Quan, and saw that the redness in his eyes had turned to blaze again, and then said solemnly: "Cao Cao is defeated, he must give up Jingzhou and return north."In this way, the power of Jing and Wu will become stronger, and the power of tripartite forces will be established. The chance of success or failure lies in today. At this time, Sun Quan felt that all the doubts in his heart were taken into account by Kong Ming. He couldn't help sighing and said: "I heard that Liu Xuande paid three visits to Maolu, and I asked my husband to come out to help me. This trip is really worthwhile, but it's a pity that Sun Quan didn't meet him sooner!"I have made up my mind to unite with Liu Xuande to fight against the strong Cao.But the matter is very important, and all the ministers need to be united. Therefore, tomorrow I will call together the civil and military ministers, and I would like to ask you to make a high-level analysis to subdue the doubts of the ministers. Kong Ming smiled happily, nodded in agreement, and then paid his respects to Sun Quan.In order to facilitate Sun Quan's secret discussion with Kong Ming, Lu Su had already been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Seeing Kong Ming coming out happily, Lu Su rushed forward and said in a low voice, "Master Kong Ming, his intentions are like a river?"Are you determined to fight against Cao? Kong Ming also smiled and said in a low voice: General Sun is four points lowering his intentions and six points resisting Cao. There are still many variables, how can he make a judgment?After Kong Ming finished speaking, he said no more and left. After hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help feeling uneasy, and secretly said: Cao Cao's army is suppressing the country, and Jiangdong's army and people are in panic. At this critical moment, if you can't make a decisive decision, Jiangdong's interior will be prone to changes, and catastrophe is not far away!Lu Su's thoughts turned, and suddenly his eyes lit up, remembering that a person came to Zhou Yu.
