Chapter 9 The Three Kingdoms Call the Father
When Jia Xu took Zilong to find Lu Bu to marry, Zhuge Liang had already taken him one step ahead and successfully formed an alliance with Sun Ce of Jiangdong.
As early as the beginning of the year when Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce saw his destruction and planned to seize Yuan Shu's territory.
Unfortunately, Chen Mang was too fast and didn't even leave time for reaction for him. He took Huainan in a flash. Therefore, Sun Ce had to settle for the second best and seized Danyang east of the Yangtze River first, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to block Chen Mang from the east of the Yangtze River.
At that time, Sun Ce surrendered the powerful general Taishi Ci, Zhou Yu and Lu Su came to join forces one after another. Sun Ce was full of energy and wanted to fight Hua Xin to take the entire Jiangdong into his pocket.
However, when he was about to attack Hua Xin, the thousand-year-old turtle that Liu Biao, who could not turn over in the face of the waves, actually took action and stationed troops in Jiangzuo, and acted as if he wanted to attack in large quantities, which immediately made Sun Ce nervous.
Liu Biao owns the eight counties of Jingzhou. Although he lost Nanyang and most of Jiangxia, his troops are still among the top three among the princes in the world. Especially when Liu Biao has dominated Jingzhou for many years, his remaining power is still there. If he really wants to fight, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong are likely to turn against him at the last minute, which will ruin the current good situation.
Just when he was at a loss for help, Zhuge Liang came to form an alliance with a ship of wealth. In addition to money and silk, there were also the thorns that Lian Po carried when he apologized for guilt, the chamber pot used by Qin Shihuang, the shoes and socks worn by Emperor Gaozu of Han, and all kinds of rare treasures...
Sun Ce was immediately overjoyed and welcomed Zhuge Liang very enthusiastically. He held a banquet at home to entertain him. He also made an appointment with Zhuge Liang to invite Chen Mang to Danyang League.
On the day of the alliance, Chen Mang crossed the river and stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the river bank. He saw Sun Ce standing on the shore with a heroic look, wearing golden armor, like a reincarnation of a king, exuding a momentum that looked down on the world.
Next to him was a handsome young man in a silver helmet and had a gentle temperament, probably the one he pretended to be Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang, whom he had made a name for a while ago.
While Chen Mang was looking at the two, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were also examining Chen Mang.
Seeing Chen Mang's young face, Sun Ce said in surprise: "This Chen Mang seems to be younger than Gongjin!"
Zhou Yu showed a smile on his handsome face: "Lord, if you have ambitions, don't underestimate him."
Sun Ce nodded slightly: "After all, I am a prince, and I should hold the etiquette of my peers."
While the two were discussing Chen Mang, the warship had already docked. Chen Mang took Zhuge Liang from his personal guards to the ferry and bowed, "But General Bo Fu is in front of him, Chen Mang and Chen Farao, this is a polite person!"
Sun Ce smiled and bowed back and said, "Faya doesn't need much politeness. Ce has ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome you! Fayaya, follow me."
"Thank you for your kindness, brother, I'm disrespectful!"
Chen Mang, who was promoted to the Three Kingdoms, smiled and stepped forward, grabbed Sun Ce's arm, and walked forward with him.
Seeing that Chen Mang was not particular about the details, Sun Ce felt that he was very angry and smiled heartily. The two shook hands and got on the carriage and slowly drove towards the city.
Soon, everyone arrived in the hall and sat down with guests and hosts.
After the wine and food were placed, Chen Mang took a few bites and felt the taste was like chewing wax. He put down his chopsticks and toasted Sun Ce and said, "Brother, as today's chaos is chaotic, swords and weapons are everywhere. You and I are both heroes. Now that we join forces, we will definitely calm the situation and give us a bright world in this world!"
"Hahaha, what Farah said is extremely true!"
Sun Ce laughed a few times, drank all the American wine in the bottle, then sighed slightly, and said to Chen Mang with a sad face: "Faya, it's not to be hiding from it. Liu Biao, Jingzhou is currently stationing troops in the river bank, and is eyeing me Jiangdong. It's hard to compete with my family. I also ask Faya to help me and retreat Liu Biao!"
Chen Mang was happy when he heard this, thinking that you were so kind to your father, how could I ignore you? But he looked like a righteous person on his face and said, "Brother, don't worry, I look at Liu Biao in Jingzhou, like selling it in Seoul. When I go back tomorrow, I will kill the Huang Zu of Jiangxia with my own hands and send someone to send his head to pay homage to my deceased father!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he was overjoyed and greeted Chen Mang three times in a row, smiling from ear to ear.
On the other side, Zhou Yu felt something was wrong, frowned slightly, and asked Chen Mang: "General Farao, Huang Zu lived in Jiangxia for generations, and Liu Biao helped him to occupy the right time, place, and people. How dare you ask the general what a clever plan could he defeat Huang Zu?"
Chen Mang smiled and said, "I only need one person to defeat Huang Zu."
Zhou Yu said in a shocked look: "Who is the general saying that he has such supernatural skills?"
At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was standing beside him, was covering his mouth with his sleeve and secretly eating the scented beans from Chen Mang. Chen Mang listened to the crackling sound beside him and looked at him with a squinted eyes: "My military advisor Zhuge Kongming has a talent for heaven and earth. It is not worth mentioning just Huang Zu. If he cannot defeat Huang Zu within three days, military advisor Zhuge is willing to come and see him."
“???”
Zhuge Liang paused suddenly and looked at Chen Mang with shocked eyes. He even forgot to swallow the beans he had chewed in his mouth...
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked, "What kind of trick can Kong Ming defeat Huang Zu?"
Zhuge Liang swallowed the beans in his mouth and forced a smile on his face: "Don't ask more questions Gongjin, this plan will not work if it is said."
Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance as if he was in a good mood, Zhou Yu was skeptical and suppressed his doubts and stopped asking too much.
After the guests and guests were having fun, Chen Mang and others were arranged to rest in the room. Just as Chen Mang was about to change his clothes, Zhuge Liang hurriedly pushed the door in and said anxiously: "What kind of good plan does the lord have to break the Huang Zu? If he talks nonsense, Liang's life will be in danger!"
Chen Mang looked at his anxious look and smiled and said, "Kongming, don't panic, your lord, I have my own tricks. Huang Zu is good at water warfare. As long as you drain the water of the Yangtze River, Huang Zu will have no choice but to surrender."
Zhuge Liang immediately showed a ghostly expression and looked at Chen Mang in a daze.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Mang said with a little regret: "Can't do it? Then you can freeze the river surface and let the soldiers cross the river and hit it. Is this always possible?"
Seeing that he finally came up with a reliable idea, Zhuge Liang felt a little relieved, and then frowned and said, "Lord, although it is already winter, the ice age has not arrived. It is difficult to freeze the water surface of the Yangtze River..."
Chen Mang pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Actually, there is another way. Kong Ming, you will lead a large army to attack Huang Zu's army tomorrow. When Huang Zu saw that even our military advisor was so brave, he would be afraid and frightened to surrender on the spot!"
Zhuge Liang: "..."
After a while, Zhuge Liang stared at Chen Mang with gritted teeth and said, "Lord, let's talk about freezing the water surface of the Yangtze River!"
