Chapter 554 Zhuge
After suffering for nearly two months, the envoy from the state of Wu finally arrived.

Although Lu Kang is a famous general, Luo Xian is not bad either.

With Du Yu's support, Wu's [-] troops were firmly blocked in Yong'an.

This battle was a bit inexplicable.

There is no fundamental conflict of interest between Yang Zheng and Wu Guo. Shu Guo is destroyed, you come to make a profit, and operate normally, but if you don't take advantage, you should accept it as soon as you see it.

They were fine, and they clung to it.

"Zhuge Liang pays homage to Yang Junhou."

Yang Zheng drank half of the tea in his mouth and seemed to be choking.

I just mentioned Zhuge Xu, and here comes Zhuge Liang...

The Zhuge family is quite active.

This person is the youngest son of Zhuge Dan, who was sent to Jianye as a hostage, and was treated favorably by the monarch and ministers of the state of Wu, from the rank of the right general.

Soochow sent him here with a certain degree of sincerity.

"You can be called my old friend!" Yang Zheng didn't see him at all.

Zhuge's birthday was also Cao Shuang's old friend back then, and he could still have a relationship with Yang Zheng.

The speaker has the heart, and the listener has the heart.

Zhuge Liang's face was slightly moved, "The only one in the world who still misses old love is the king."

Yang Zheng smiled, and all the enemies of the Sima family are his allies, "General Zhengdong and I were allies back then, but unfortunately the east and west are separated by thousands of miles, and Sima Zhao came to the Huaihe River to commit crimes with all his countrymen. , it must be for the reconciliation of the two families."

A trace of shame flashed across Zhuge Liang's face, "That's exactly what I mean here."

"It's so good that we can turn wars into treasures and attack the Central Plains together."

No matter how arrogant Soochow is, he still has to make some sense.

The general trend of the world is already obvious.

Yang Zheng has the third, Soochow has the second, and the Sima family has the fifth.

There is also a clock meeting in Huaibei, which is [-].

Obviously, the Northern Expedition to Huainan will take advantage of it.

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to look directly at Yang Zheng, "Return to the Lord, my lord is willing to form an alliance, but we need to designate the land of Padang as the land of Wu, and the two families will reconcile from now on..."

With a "click", the teacup in Yang Zheng's hand fell to the ground, "What did you just say?"

Yang Zheng really suspected that he had heard wrong.

Why do the Soochow bastards want the land of Padang?

Pang Qing and Zhao Aqi beside him looked angry.

Zhuge Liang bit the bullet and said: "As long as the land of Badong is the land of Wu, the two families will form a friendship and attack the Sima family together!"

If it wasn't for the fact that he is Zhuge Dan's son, Yang Zheng would have been a hit.

"Erdong Wu Junchen didn't know that my 16 cavalry defeated Sima Zhao's [-] army?" Yang Zheng couldn't believe that Wu Guo could make such a shameless request.

It seems that Wu Guo was a little deranged by the two brothers Sun Jun and Sun Chen.

"No one in the world knows the majesty of the king?" Zhuge Liang looked ashamed.

Yang Zheng now knows why Soochow sent him here, and begging for food is not the way to go.

It is said that Sun Quan was also staring at Jingzhou back then, making troubles with Liu Bei.

Now the people in Soochow have changed a few times, but their virtues are still the same.

"Don't you think I can't destroy the Sima clan without Soochow?" Yang Zheng stared at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang blushed and gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Wu and Wei originally had no enmity. A few months ago, Sima Zhao sent envoys to Jianye to rebuild the alliance and designate the middle of Shu as the land of Wu. The lord does not wish to have a grudge against the prince, so he only takes Badong..."

Zhuge Liang's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yang Zheng was amused, "So, I still want to thank you?"

This world is more shameless than the other.

No wonder Soochow was so courageous and insisted on holding on to Yong'an. It turned out that the Sima family was behind the fire.

Pang Qing on the side couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng nodded, then cupped his hands and said: "The battle of Dongxing, the battle of Xincheng, the battle of Shouchun, bloody debts, what is no enmity? Almost forgotten?"

"At one time and another, although the princes and marquises are better off with iron cavalry, the land of the Yangtze River is not as good as Guanzhong, and the water army is superior. If we attack with all our strength, even if the prince and marquis have a hundred thousand cavalry, they will be powerless." Zhuge Liang is a qualified A lobbyist, he clearly has a mortal enmity with the Sima family, but he is loyal to Soochow because of his wealth.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to say too much, Jiang Dong can attack freely." Yang Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense.

To put it bluntly, Wu Guo didn't have any sincerity, but just wanted to blackmail.

If you are willing to form an alliance with the Sima family, then form an alliance.

For so many years, Yang Zheng has never relied on an ally.

Who else is an ally these days?
Soochow is famous for stabbing its allies in the back, and if they form an alliance with them, it is very likely that they will not dare to fight Sima Zhao, and they will mess with themselves first.

This is determined by geography.

Central Shu is in the upper reaches of Soochow, Yang Zheng is powerful and poses a greater threat to Wu. The natural danger of the Yangtze River is generally in Yang Zheng's hands, and the army down the river is Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

The State of Shu was not capable of destroying Wu, but Yang Zheng's State of Qin did.

Therefore, Wu Guo's pursuit of Badong cannot be said to be wishful thinking, but for the sake of geographical security.

Just like the Jingzhou they missed so much back then.

"If Jiangdong forms an alliance with the Sima family, the lord must be careful." The last sentence came from Zhuge Liang's heart.

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me."

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and retreated.

The anger in Yang Zheng's heart still hasn't subsided.

Sima Zhao is very likely to form an alliance with Soochow.

In the battle of Xincheng and Shouchun, Soochow no longer had the courage to go north.

Since we are not going north, we must go west.

The two alliances also have a basis for interests.

Although Sima Zhao had five points in the world, but Feng Yi's defeat in the first battle was too miserable. Yang Zhengcheng became the power to strengthen Qin, and he was at the top of the world in terms of military strength.

Soochow has no ambition to unify the world, but only wants to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River. If it wants to maintain the stability of the New Three Kingdoms, an alliance with the Sima family is the best choice.

But with Yong'an in hand, Soochow couldn't attack.

This alliance doesn't make much sense.

The alliance between Sima Zhao and Soochow was just to appease Soochow, and misfortune was brought to the west. The people of Soochow hit it off with Sima's family and shamelessly came to ask for Badong...

Give them Padang today, and tomorrow they will want Shuzhong and Hanzhong...

The Central Plains is licking its wounds. Now that the land occupation system has been promulgated, the national strength will not only recover, but also increase in a few years. When the time comes, we will first deal with Yang Zheng's Daqin, or the Dongwu people?

The richest place in this era is the Central Plains, and the most populous is also the Central Plains.

Sima Zhao and Sima Yan are not the Northern Qi Dynasty in history.

Of course, if Yang Zheng can make it to Sima Zhong, the chances are still great.

But this is too unambitious, and there are too many variables.

In general, the most ambitious are the first generations.

The first generation in the expansion period did not solve the problem, and the next generation is even more difficult.

Like Cao Wei, Cao Cao did not win Jiangdong, which resulted in the great power of the Three Kingdoms for decades.

The next generation of the Sima family is Sima Zhong. If he doesn't make it through and the next generation has a high latitude, the situation will be bad.

"Send an order to Shuzhong, step up your battle preparations—forget it, I'll write a letter to Yuan Kai myself." Yang Zheng had already clearly analyzed the stakes in his heart.

In a word, the Sima family has no lower limit, and Soochow is not a good thing.

These days, I can only rely on myself.
