Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"After returning from Jiange, I never gave up my plan to regain Jiange, and even regained the entire Hanzhong. Only in this way can we have the ability to compete with the Cao family."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, and said: "In a short time, it will be difficult for us to counterattack Jiangdong, but it is not impossible to unite with Sima Yi to contain Guanzhong and the north of Xiangyang."

After hearing his plans, Liu Yan felt calm.

However, he still has another worry: "Chen Yang, how do we deal with it?"

Chen Yang is definitely the person they are most afraid of and the most difficult to deal with, bar none.

Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, and it was also very stressful for him to face Chen Yang.

I saw him hesitate for a long time, and said slowly: "I don't believe it, I will never be as good as Chen Yang, Your Majesty, please give me one last chance to deal with Chen Yang, this time I will definitely be able to defeat him."

He recalled the history of his confrontation with Chen Yang. Since Xinye, he has always been defeated, and he was a little afraid of failure.

He still didn't believe in this evil, thinking that he would win once.

Even just once, he is satisfied.

Liu Yan hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "Of course I believe in the strength of the military division. This time, our plan to recapture Hanzhong is all arranged and mobilized by you, the military division. The orders of the military division are my orders."

Zhuge Liang got up immediately, and bowed his hands: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I will do my best, and I will die."

At this moment, Zhuge Liang was full of spirits again, and felt like he was going to have a showdown with Chen Yang.

-

A few days later, within Jiangdong Wu County.

"Prime Minister Cao is already the Duke of Wei, and he is not far away from becoming emperor. A big man will soon be no big man."

Sun Quan also got the news and summoned everyone to discuss the future direction of Jiangdong.

"The subordinates believe that Duke Wei dare not claim the title of emperor yet." Lu Su said first.

He was once recommended by Zhou Yu to Sun Quan, and he proposed a famous couch policy to Sun Quan. Although it failed, after Zhou Yu left, Lu Su was employed by Sun Quan. As long as there was something that could not be decided, Lu Su would ask his opinion.

Lu Su continued: "Duke Wei is not ignorant of the situation. My lord's willingness to help them is entirely for the sake of the Han family. If the Han family is gone, we will sever ties with the Cao family."

Sun Quan did not want to be a minister to the Cao family, so he nodded slightly after hearing Lu Su's words.

"According to what Zijing said, Duke Wei will be able to bring peace to the world in the future, and we Jiangdong will have to suffer another war if we dare not surrender." Zhang Zhao said worriedly.

"This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Gongjin went to Chen Zian before his death. First, he hoped to dismantle Sun Shao's affairs. Second, if Wei Gong can pacify the world, he can also use Chen Zian to protect Jiangdong. At least he will not suffer from war. "Lu Su analyzed.

"Gongjin has worked hard for Jiangdong."

Sun Quan was heartbroken. Losing Zhou Yu was like losing his left and right hands, and he was at a loss what to do.

"The subordinates believe that it is the general trend for Wei Gong to rule the world. If we don't surrender, we will not be able to stop the Cao family's troops in the future."

Among them, a person named Gu Yong said.

Gu Yong, nicknamed Yuan Tan, was one of Sun Quan's advisers.

Lu Su said: "We have Sima Yi in the north, Liuyan in Xichuan, Lingnan and other places are unwilling to surrender, Duke Wei wants to pacify the world, how easy is it? Duke Wei...cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently.

"Zijing, are you alright?"

Only then did Sun Quan notice that Lu Su's face was not as rosy as before, as if he was seriously ill.

Zhou Yu died of illness, and Sun Quan became anxious when he saw Lu Su doing the same.

"I'm fine. I've recently contracted a cold. I'll be fine in a few days."

Lu Su didn't take this matter to heart.

"Come on!"

Sun Quan said loudly: "Send Zijing back to rest quickly, and then invite the doctor to show Zijing. Today's discussion ends here."

Everyone resigned and left, and Lu Su was also sent away.

"Lord!"

Zhuge Jin, who was not involved in the discussion just now, came in suddenly, and said hesitantly, "My lord, I received a letter from Kong Ming in Xichuan, and I don't know whether I should show it to my lord."

"Zhuge Liang!"

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.

Liu Yan in Shuzhong was also their enemy to some extent.

When Liu Bei killed Sun Ce, although it had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, because of this incident, Sun Quan didn't have much affection for Zhuge Jin, and even alienated him, and he didn't reject him.

Simply put, it cannot be reused.

Now that Zhuge Jin came to him with Zhuge Liang's letter, Sun Quan's expression was a little strange.

"Is this a letter from home, or something else?"

Sun Quan asked.

"One is a family letter, and the other is for Kong Ming to show the lord."

Zhuge Jin delivered the letter with both hands.

"For me?"

Sun Quan asked curiously, "Has Ziyu seen it?"

Zhuge Jin said truthfully: "I have only read the family letter, the letter to the lord, but my subordinates dare not read it. Kong Ming's relationship with Liu Bei was also regarded as Jiangdong's enemy. The subordinates don't know whether this letter should be given to the lord."

That being said, he finally brought the letter and continued, "If my lord doesn't want to read it, I'll destroy it."

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Let me see what is written."

He opened the envelope, looked at it carefully for a while, and frowned.

The content in it is probably written that Liu Yan is eager to cooperate with Jiangdong to rebel against the Cao family, and also said that Jiangdong occupies one side, so why be afraid of mere Cao family?

If Jiangdong is willing to rebel against the Cao family, then Cao Cao will face pressure from three parties. Liu Yan is willing to help Sun Quan, take Jingzhou, and expand Jiangdong's territory.

The content of the letter was well-founded and full of emotion, as if I was afraid that Sun Quan would not agree.

Seeing Sun Quan's expression at this moment, Zhuge Jin said worriedly: "My lord, are you dissatisfied with what Kong Ming said?"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "You should take a look first."

Zhuge Jin took the letter and read it carefully for a while, her expression became unsightly, the content was very rebellious.

"Ziyu, what do you think I should do?" Sun Quan asked.

"Tell Wei Gong about this right away." Zhuge Jin didn't want to accept Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

"why?"

Sun Quan said, "Zhuge Liang is your brother, and you don't believe him?"

"Because the subordinates feel that if Liu Yan wants to fight Wei Gong, he has no chance of winning and will definitely lose."

Zhuge Jin nodded and said: "I can trust Kong Ming, but I have to consider my lord more. Don't think that the Cao family seems to be at a disadvantage at the moment, and they are facing pressure from Yizhou and Yecheng at the same time, but don't forget, my lord. After taking Jiange, Cao Ang took Guanzhong and Xiliang, will their strength be weak?"

In the face of suppression from both sides, there is still room for resistance, and even to open up territory. This kind of strength is not weak at all.

What's more, Chen Yang is still from the Cao family.
