Chapter 544 Ge Zhou
But it is said that Zhuge Liang and Liu Zong had more than [-] water infantry troops, hundreds of large ships, mighty and mighty, and they went down the river and drove straight in. They traveled hundreds of miles and arrived in Spring Valley in a few days.

Zhuge Liang was in the top hut of the flagship, looking at the south bank from a distance, seeing the Jiangdong Army connecting the banks with the city, with deep fences and heavy fortifications, almost as strong as gold, he couldn't help but sighed to the left and right that Zhou Gongjin was a good general.

To build such a solid line of defense in a short period of time, Zhou Yu really has a deep sense of strategy, no wonder the general used Han Xin and Ying Bu as metaphors.

At this time, Zhou Yu also led Jiangdong's generals to go upstairs to watch the enemy's situation.

When Zhou Yu led his army to retreat from Yuzhang, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Jingzhou army, he lined up on the river and took the initiative to invite a battle. He was brave and good at fighting, which left a deep impression on Zhou Yu.

However, the army in front of him was obviously stronger than the Jingzhou army he had fought against in his memory.

Zhou Yu was not too surprised by this, after all, it was only Jingzhou's navy that had fought against each other before.In the process of Liu Jing's rise, the water army was of course very important, but it was the land army that really helped Liu Jing dominate Jing, Jiao, and even compete in the Central Plains in the future.

This further confirms Zhou Yu's previous judgment. The Jiangdong Army experienced two major defeats in Jiangxia and Yuzhang. Tens of thousands of soldiers died, and almost half of the family fortune accumulated during Sun Ce's period was lost. , must not be its opponent, only by relying on the defense of the fence, can there be a chance of winning.

Therefore, when someone under his command proposed to take advantage of the new arrival of the Jingzhou army and take advantage of the unstable foothold, Zhou Yu was unmoved.

While ordering the generals to guard the Jin and the bases, Zhou Yu wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang, reprimanding him for violating the state's edict and launching troops to violate the border for no reason. , if Zhuge Liang insists on invading, he will definitely make him come and go.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing when he saw the letter. He was about to write a letter to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but Zhou Yu came to disown him first.

However, compared with this letter, Zhuge Liang undoubtedly paid more attention to the sender-Lu Su.

Lu Su entered Changsha alone two years ago and single-handedly facilitated the alliance between Liu and Sun. During this period, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su formed a deep friendship.

Reunited with a good friend after a long absence, Zhuge Liang was beaming with joy, but Lu Su had a serious face. He was resourceful and thoughtful. How can he not know the current situation? Jiangdong has been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and if he takes a step back, he will fall into a catastrophe. For this reason, Lu Su was so anxious that he couldn't sleep or eat, so how could he smile.

Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang: "Although Jiangdong has lost Yuzhang and Luling, there are still three counties with [-] soldiers. Liu Annan even sent [-] people to attack, but it would be difficult. The north must return to Cao Gong, and then our army will be restrained in the east, and Cao Gong will be in trouble in the north. Liu Annan will be attacked on both sides, and he will definitely be defeated!"

Zhuge Liang put away his smile, shook his head and said: "The general trend of the world is mighty and mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and all the heroes are rising together, and the affairs are merged. Separation, self-defense, may be able to survive for a while. It will be difficult for a long time, and only those who aim at the world can stand out and calm the troubled times. In today's world, there are no generals and Caos as heroes. If the generals in Jiangdong don't take it today, the Caos will take it in the future."

Zhuge Liang's words have been very straightforward. In this big chess game in the world, only Liu Jing and Cao Cao are chess players. The rest are all chess pieces.

Lu Su was desperate and unwilling, and wanted to persuade him again, but Zhuge Liang raised his hand to stop him and said, "If Zijing wants to reminisce about the past with me, it's okay. If you want to persuade me to stop fighting, there is no need to say anything."

Lu Su said bitterly: "When life and death are at stake, how dare Su forget the public for selfishness?"

Zhuge Liang didn't insist on this, and then he personally wrote a pen, using ink as the front and words as the blade, and wrote an impassioned and fierce reply letter that penetrated Changhong, and asked Lu Su to bring it back to Zhou Yu.

Lu Su sighed and returned disappointed.

Seeing Lu Su returning in a hurry, Zhou Yu's heart became heavier, but his appearance was still calm.

In order to prevent the enemy from alienating, Zhou Yu did not avoid the left and right, but opened the letterhead in public, and saw his letter saying: "Liang nodded his head: 'The magnanimity of one step is so high that it is not born in the world. , I wish I could work with you in the king's business.'"

Zhuge Liang first complimented Zhou Yu, and then changed the subject: "However, the Yunchun Valley River is strong enough to defend itself, but Yu Shi disagrees. The ancients said: 'The solidity of mountains and rivers lies in virtue and not in danger." Yu Shen thinks so In the past, Liu Biao used the Jiang and Han as natural moats to compete with the generals, and as a result, he perished within one dynasty;

Sun Ben also relied on Yuzhang to block the mountains and lead the river, and drove the bandits into Changsha, killing the officials and people. General Annan was angry and raised his army to punish Sun Ben.The general's virtue is well-known all over the world. When the army arrives in Chaisang, Peng Zechang Xu Zong surrenders from the county; , then the meritorious service Cao Liu Yi and the chief secretary Xu Miao will dissolve everything; the Taishi Ziyi is a hero in the world, he is brave in the world, and he is convinced by his heart. This is how the general wins the hearts of the people.Between ten and a month, Sun Ben gave the head, Sun Fu died and fled, and the people of Henan and Lu clapped their hands to celebrate..."

At the end of the letter, Zhuge Liang wrote meaningfully: "I think Chungu is strong and dangerous, but I don't know that the hearts of the soldiers have already been shaken, and the people of Jiangdong are also looking forward to the righteous teacher. The Sun family has no way, and the collapse of the building is just around the corner. It cannot be supported by a single pillar. Why not follow Taishi Ziyi's example, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, assist the generals, and help the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be an enemy in the morning and a general in the evening? The words from the bottom of my heart, let me think deeply. Zhuge Liang paused."

Zhou Yu sneered after seeing it, and said to the generals: "I heard that Zhuge Kongming is a great man, capable of both civil and military affairs, and Wang Zuozhi is also talented. I don't think his words are so treacherous, confusing black and white, and confusing the public. It is really disgusting. Liu A rebellious member of the background alliance, dare to speak virtue?!"

Having said that, Zhou Yu ordered someone to fetch the writing desk, pen and paper, and wrote a letter to attack Zhuge Liang on the spot under the base. Also, the whole article revolved around "virtue", criticizing Liu Jing's wolfish ambition, abandoning his alliance, violating the sacred teachings, and entrusting benevolence and righteousness to others. The name, but the reality of combining the internal and external, is the traitor of the country!
This time Zhou Yu scolded completely, so instead of asking Lu Su to deliver the letter, he chose a dead man and sent the letter to Zhuge Liang.

Sure enough, once Zhou Yu's letter was made public, all civil and military officers in Jingzhou glared and gnashed their teeth, and some generals drew their swords angrily, intending to kill the sender to vent their anger.

Zhuge Liang stopped it in time and wrote back again: "In the past, Huan of Qi deceived Zhu to attack Ju and annexed the country for 35 years, but Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" to praise it, why? To save China, although it is small, there is no loss in righteousness! General Annan, a member of the royal family, is determined to save the country. Seeing the world is in trouble, the gangsters are raging, the weak are attacking the ignorant, and the chaos is humiliating the dead. What is there to criticize? That's all I can say, let me do it myself..."
