Chapter 169 Zhuge's mission!
Sun Quan filled a pot of wine in the cup in front of Lu Su. From his expression, you couldn't tell what he was thinking about writing.
The wine glass was turbid, but it also rippled with Sun Quan's complex eyes.
Lu Su bowed to Sun Quan, held the wine bottle with respect with both hands, but his eyes were always floating, and he did not dare to look at Sun Quan or look at the black silk book on the table.
"Zijing, do you still need to be so restrained between you and me?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Su unhappily, his tone with accusation.
"The lord's words made Lu Su feel ashamed!"
Lu Su drank a small drink in a glass of wine, and his eyes finally faced Sun Quan and the black silk book in front of him.
Lu Su, whose courtesy name is Zijing, was a Han nationality, from Dongcheng County, Linhuai County (now Dingyuan, Anhui), was an outstanding strategist and diplomat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in China.
Lu Su is one of the main characters in the Battle of Red Cliff in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang, whose status is equivalent to that of Sun Quan, and most of Sun Quan's strategies are also taken by others. However, in official history, Lu Su is just a strategist. Of course, his status is indeed like Xun Yu of Cao Cao.
It's Sun Quan's confidant!
When Sun Quan saw Lu Su like this, he was not angry. He held a wine glass and said to himself: "Zijing, what do you think in your heart? Will Cao Cao actually give me an official title of the governor of Jingzhou?"
Lu Su was originally calm, but when he heard Sun Quan talk about the official title of the governor of Jingzhou, his head suddenly raised.
"What the lord means is the edict of Your Majesty to enthrone the lord as the governor of Jingzhou?"
Sun Quan nodded and drank the wine in his hand.
"What do Zijing thinks?"
Lu Su's face changed a few times before he slowly said, "This is Cao Cao's treacherous plan!"
"A treacherous plan?" Sun Quan put the wine glass on the table and continued, "This is Cao Mengde's plan. Even a three-year-old child can see it. My intention is to ask Zijing what's going on?"
What's going on?
Of course it's not good!
Cao Cao sets you up a trap, but you really jumped?
So Lu Su saluted Sun Quan and said hurriedly: "Lu Su believes that this plan is absolutely not feasible!"
Sun Quan waved his hand and signaled Lu Su to continue.
Lu Su paused and continued, "Cao Cao used troops to Jingchu. The lord went here to help the evildoer! This is the first!"
"Jingzhou and I, Jiangdong, lost their lips and teeth. If you have less Jingzhou, it will be difficult for Jiangdong to defend. At this time, the lord was fighting against Cao, not to care about the gains and losses of Jingzhou!"
Lu Su means: Lord, it’s the same thing whether we can defeat Cao Cao now. Don’t think about Jingzhou for now. To attack Jingzhou will be bad for us, but it will be good for Cao Cao!
Sun Quan nodded, his eyes flashed, and he didn't continue to say anything.
Jingzhou is a place that Sun Quan coveted from the beginning!
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and people mainly depended on people's journey. The reason why Jingzhou was a place that must be fought for by military strategists was because it was a transportation hub.
Sichuan is mountainous, with only two marching routes. One is to go to Jianmen and Sichuan from Hanzhong, southern Shaanxi, and the other is to go west from Jingzhou, with a narrow road to the Yangtze River on one side. It is precisely for this reason that Shu has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times.
There are also two leading to Eastern Wu, in Hefei and Jingzhou.
If you get Jingzhou, you can look for Shu, Jingzhou, and also serve as a frontier position in Jiangdong. Moreover, Jingchu is rich and has a large population, how could Sun Quan not salivate at him?
This is reflected in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Eastern Wu and Shu Han fought in Jingzhou several times, and finally brought Liu Bei and Guan Yu into it!
Now that a Jingzhou governor’s edict was handed over to himself, how could Sun Quan not have any other meaning?
Moreover, the recent calls for surrender in Jiangdong are extremely high. The surrender faction represented by Zhang Zhao represents the interests of the aristocratic family. He has been here to make noise several times. If it weren't for Zhang Zhao's age and his respectability, Sun Quan would have pulled him out and beheaded.
The increasingly rampant surrender faction led to Sun Quan's desire for a war and a victory to tell those two and five boys that this Jiangdong is my Sun Quan's Jiangdong!
Not his Cao Cao!
But Sun Quan also knew in his heart that this victory would probably be gone!
The Jiangdong family is by no means an opponent of Cao Cao. Only by uniting all the forces can we create some possibilities in this impossible!
but.......................
Sun Quan looked at the silk book on the table and was a little unwilling, really unwilling to accept it.
Jingzhou!
Jingzhou!
"Since that's the case, then Zijing has a plan to defeat Cao Cao!"
Lu Su thought for a moment and said, "Cao Cao has joined a million troops. Who can have a plan to defeat him with a firm idea?"
Sun Quan was playing with the silk book in his hand, and his expression was also a little gloomy.
Lu Su glanced at Sun Quan, then said carefully: "Why would you let me convince Liu Bei and Liu Cong and let him unite with us?"
Just as Sun Quan was about to nod, a hurry-in figure ran in.
"Lord, there is a man who claims to be Liu Bei's military advisor at the door, threatening to see the master!"
Sun Quan smiled and asked, "Did he tell him the name?"
The middle-aged man dressed in charge pressed his head between his knees and said, "That man said his name was Zhuge, his name was Kongming, and his name was just a liang word!"
Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming?
Lu Su showed a surprised expression and quickly saluted Sun Quan.
"That person is really Liu Bei's military advisor, Zhuge Kongming!"
"Zhuge Kongming...Zhuge Kongming is the dragon and phoenix chick who can win the world with one of them?"
Lu Su nodded with a serious expression.
"Hahahaha, you really want to do whatever you want, Zijing, don't you think so?"
Lu Su nodded and quickly said yes!
"Come in with Mr. Zhuge!" Sun Quan ordered the subordinate manager.
"promise!"
Sun Quan's eyes turned and suddenly asked Lu Su again: "How is Zhuge Liang's eloquence?"
Lu Su was stunned and didn't understand what Sun Quan asked about this.
Although I didn't understand, I still said it.
"Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Jin's younger brother. Zhuge Jin is very eloquent. Zhuge Liang is called Wolong, so he is naturally extraordinary."
Sun Quan nodded and said to Lu Su: "That's great!"
Now, Lu Su was even more confused. What was this lord thinking?
Sun Quan ignored Lu Su's confusion and walked straight out. Lu Su could only follow Sun Quan and think about what Sun Quan meant in his heart.
....................................................................
Outside the huge gate of Sun Mansion, two men stood. The leader was half a head shorter than the back, but he could see his extraordinaryness in his words. The warrior behind had calluses, and he was obviously not a person to mess with.
Scream~
The door of the mansion opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in a stewardship came out from inside. He showed a humble smile on his face, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and then said, "Sir, my master is welcome!"
