Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 192 Sun Quan worships the general
"So what if there is an agreement? How many of the princes in the world are honest?" Although Lu Lingqi is a daughter, she has seen too many intrigues with Lu Bu since she was a child, and father and son turned against each other in the face of interests, let alone such a verbal agreement.

Lan Tian shook his head and explained: "The situation is different now. In the past, the heroes were separated and the general situation of the world was uncertain, so he made a mistake for small profits. Now Cao Cao has unified the north. No matter whether it is the source of troops or food, Jingzhou cannot be resisted. Jiangdong must be tied. together."

"So what if they are tied together? Husband still expects Jiangdong to be united with Jingzhou? I heard that when Cao Cao attacked Xinye, Sun Quan didn't attack Hefei at all. Didn't he just watch Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu die?" Lu Lingqi shook her head and pouted. .

"Sun Zhongmou's thoughts are difficult for outsiders to guess. Even if they can't agree, they can't form hatred." Lan Tian explained.

"Husband continues to act in secret, so we can only deal with it as before, how we dealt with it last time, we will deal with it this time." Lu Lingqi continued to offer advice.

"Some strategies cannot be used continuously, otherwise they will not work." Lan Tian shook his head.

Lu Lingqi picked up her wine glass and continued: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. In the face of the opposition from Jiangdong's ministers, Sun Quan has to think carefully about sending troops. Let's play it by ear, don't spoil our good mood, and drink."

Lan Tian drank the hot wine, thinking that Sun Quan should also be very troubled, right?

At this time, Sun Quan was really distressed. The Jiangdong court opposed the use of troops to Jiaozhou, the Huaisi faction focused on targeting Hefei, and the local gentry in Jiangdong wanted to recuperate. In recent years, wars have cost a lot of money and food, and these are all supported by the Jiangdong gentry.

Sun Quan came back to Bu Lianshi's palace after Sun Quan left the court. Mrs. Bu was the wife of Sun Quanxinna.

After Sun Quan moved the government office to Jianye, he left his wife, Mrs. Xu, in Wu Jun to take care of Sun Deng, but instead brought his concubine, Bu Lianshi, with him, which shows how much he loves him.

After Bu Zhi died of a strange illness, the family members heard some rumors of poisoning, and they often went to Bu Zhi's palace to cry and complain, hoping that Sun Quan could find out the real culprit and avenge Bu Zhi.

One day when Sun Quan returned to the palace, he saw the maid cleaning up, frowned and asked Bu Lianshi, "Zi Shan's family is here again?"

"After all, they sacrificed their lives for Jiangdong, it's really hard for me to drive them back," Bu Lianshi nodded and said.

"The person who poisoned them has been lured and killed by Wei Ziqi, but this is a secret operation. It is impossible to bring that person's head back, so let them calm down." Sun Quan ordered.

"Wei." Bu Lianshi responded softly, and then asked the maid to bring the cold-dispelling tea soup.

Sun Quan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then sat on the spot and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while the step trainer thoughtfully squeezed his shoulders to relieve his fatigue.

"My lord, why is your face so sad?" Bu Lianshi couldn't help asking after pinching for a while.

Sun Quan slowly opened his eyes. He frowned and said, "Weiziqi cannot capture Jiaozhou with more than a thousand troops. I am planning to use Zishan to attack Jiaozhou. Unfortunately, none of the Jiangdong officials support me. Big disappointment."

"My lord is the lord of Jiangdong, why can't the world be the only one in charge?" Bu Lianshi was surprised.

"The officials in Jiangdong have their own selfishness, and I have balanced it for many years with little success." Sun Quan sighed.

"In the past, the great ancestor worshiped Han Xin as a general. I don't know how many people questioned him. The master's schemer is the world. How can he not move forward because of selfishness?" Bu Lianshi expressed his feeling when he saw Sun Quan's ambition.

Sun Quan turned his head and looked at Bu Lianshi in surprise, thinking that this woman was right, and I wanted to attack Jiaozhou not for personal gain?Why is it necessary to be bound by those people in the court?

After Zhou Yu died of illness in Chaisang, Sun Quan took advantage of the situation to install many cronies in the army, and he had already held the military power in Jiangdong. The current governor Lu Su, his prestige and power were not as good as Zhou Yu.

Having made up his mind to take Jiaozhou, Sun Quan planned to bring it up again at the court meeting tomorrow. In order to avoid being opposed by Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others like the previous few times, he summoned his confidant Lu Meng overnight to discuss.

Lu Meng was born in a humble family, and in his early years he attached himself to his brother-in-law Deng Dang (a general of Sun Ce's army). After Deng Dang died of illness, Lu Meng took over his army and was appointed by Sun Ce as the Sima of another army.

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he had no right to speak regardless of the military and politics, especially Zhou Yu's trilogy inside and outside Wu County. After experiencing the tragic death of his father and brother, he felt insecure, so he slowly cultivated his own power. It was at this time that Lu Meng was paid attention to. .

Lv Meng started as the youngest Sima of the other tribe, step by step from ordinary to extraordinary, gradually promoted with his accumulated military achievements, and was finally worshiped as a general after the Battle of Chibi, and finally had a certain right to speak in the army.

Sun Quan summoned Lu Meng at night and said: "Jiaozhou is connected to Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou. Although it is remote and barren with few people, it is also the territory of the Han Dynasty. I have been planning it for a long time, but the princes in the east of the Yangtze River do not understand my heart. Can Ziming share my worries for me? ?”

Lu Meng clasped his fists and replied: "My lord, your concerns are justified. Now that Cao Cao is stationed in Huainan, if our army does not set up defenses at Ruxukou, once the northern army leaves Chaohu and crosses the river, the east of the river will be in danger."

Sun Quan coldly sneered: "Cao Mengde was defeated in Chibi before, not to mention whether he dared to fight in the Yangtze River, even if the troops really leave Chaohu Lake, Cheng Gong will be guarding Ruxukou, and Chaisang's warship soldiers will train with him all day long." , it is better to pull it out and attack Jiaozhou."

"The original plan was not for Duke Cheng to feign an attack, and then attack Cao with the main naval force of the governor. Once my lord removes Chaisang's garrison, what if Cao Cao really sends troops to Chaohu?" Lu Meng asked worriedly.

"The war opportunity is fleeting. We can't wait for the Cao thief to send troops? Besides, after Wei Ziqi killed Shi Wu, Shi Xie has become a frightened bird, and he can be subdued with a little beating." Sun Quan sat upright.

"Was Shiwu killed by Ziqi?" Lu Meng asked in disbelief.

Sun Quan said solemnly: "This person has a great relationship with Zishan's death. I want to use Ziming as a general to go to Jiaozhou. Can you share my worries?"

"The last general obeys orders." Lu Meng felt a sense of heroism in his heart. After all, it was his first time to be the commander-in-chief. Of course, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Sun Quan nodded: "Zi Ming is going here, as long as he kills the chickens to warn the monkeys and subdue the scholars, Jiaozhou can be settled."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey? Which chicken to kill? Which monkey to scare?" Lu Meng was at a loss when he heard this.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said with a smile: "The rooster is Cangwu and Wu Ju, and the monkey is Cochin Shixie. As long as these two are settled, then Lai Gong will not be Ziming's opponent."

"Wei." Lu Meng cupped his fists and obeyed.

The next day, Sun Quan summoned civil and military forces in Jianye, and Lu Meng came out to propose attacking Jiaozhou. The officials were all stunned when they heard this.

Next came familiar objections, but under the performance of Sun Quan and Lu Meng's double reeds, they directly emphasized the importance of capturing Jiaozhou, and finally Sun Quan made a final decision.

Sun Quan worshiped the partial general Lu Meng as his commander, and dispatched 5000 sailors under the command of the governor Lu Su and [-] infantry and cavalry under the command of the deputy governor Cheng Pu.
