Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 297 I didn't accept my fate back then, and I don't compromise today!
Jiangxia Government Office.

"Thank you, sir, for coming all the way to offer condolences. My father was in Xiangyang when he left, and I never saw him. I felt very sad, so please take me to thank Marquis Wu."

"Sad son, the dead are dead, the living should be strong. Now that the enemy is at hand, Cao Jun is stationed in Xiangyang. He can send troops to threaten Jiang Xia at any time. He still needs to guard his homeland and not let the traitors succeed."

"Although Liu Jingzhou passed away, the young master left all the elite soldiers and strong generals to preserve the military strength. If the young master needs it, I, Jiangdong, will be obliged to do so."

Lu Su held the ceremony and bowed with a sincere expression.

He came here with Sun Ce's intentions in mind, so these words can be regarded as Sun Ce's words.

Over the years, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, one strong and one soft, stabilized Jiangdong internally and externally, and made all the gentry who disobeyed at the beginning gradually submit.

Even Xu Gong, who was at odds with Sun Ce at the beginning, did not dare to make any changes, and always managed his territory with peace of mind.

In the past few years, the Sun brothers have been greatly admired by all parties, and these words undoubtedly gave Liu Qi some peace of mind.

"Thank you."

The so-called background mainly lies in three aspects, military strength, food and grass, and military spirit.

Now, Jiangdong's invitation to join forces against Cao is right in front of him.

"can."

If he was lucky, or if he was liked by others, he could even go up to Xudu.

In the lobby of the government office, several people's minds gradually stabilized, and they already had the heroic enthusiasm to discuss major issues.

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Yes, it is this person, but his younger brother has to be filial and honest. He was taught by Ma Liang since he was a child. When he was 16 years old, Ma Liang already said that he is not as good as his younger brother."

The army's morale is weak, and it is impossible to defend the city. If the army's morale is as firm as iron, and Cao Cao is not given an opportunity, then it is even more likely to hold on.

Especially Liu Bei, who didn't know this person at all, so if he sent him over like this, maybe Wu Hou would feel that he didn't pay much attention to it, so naturally it would be difficult to achieve.

He once saw Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sitting on the throne of the Son of Heaven and obsequiously crying in Chu Gong's room.

When he came out, he pulled Liu Qi to the side and said softly: "This person is good, and he should be competent, but can you relax the requirements a little bit, first to facilitate this matter, and then make a decision on the rest when you really compete with Cao Jun."

Ma Di's eloquent and eloquent talks gave Liu Qi a new strategy, which can make his eyes shine, especially the power of the tripod.

I can't even suppress it anymore, Liu Bei's reputation in Jiangdong is not good, we can't let him send people there, otherwise those people will seize the four defeats and keep asking.

"Perhaps, he can really make such a great contribution, but Gongyou and Xianhe are hard to do."

If someone insults him deliberately, just scold him back on the spot, and beat him if he can't.

This evaluation is already extremely high. If Lu Su is a great Confucian, just relying on these words to spread the word, it is enough for Ma Liang to be robbed by the prefects of various places in the future, and he can assist the governor or the state shepherd in the future.

Mainly he remembered that there were no eloquent counselors under Liu Bei's command. There should be more warriors and generals, rather than counselors.

Inside the Cao army, there are no trusted generals who understand water warfare, and they just appointed Cai Mao and others.

This made Lu Su, whose status in Jiangdong was not high, heaved a sigh of relief.

"The friendship between the two families should be facilitated, instead of waiting for Cao Cao to defeat them one by one. If you want to fight Cao Jun, you will naturally push for cooperation in secret. Those who fear the battle will break their words and feel sorry for each other. I can't guarantee that it will be successful, but I understand my lord. Definitely want to fight!"

"Okay," Ma Di came out from the inner room, and gradually stood with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, exuding his own demeanor. In his opinion, it was his own eloquence that convinced the Jiangdong envoy.

Liu Bei asked himself that he couldn't do this, so he fell silent.

Based on the current situation, Ma Di carefully analyzed the possibility of the future. Cao Cao's army had never gone south in the north. Once it went south, Xiliang would have an opportunity to threaten its rear.

And confidence.

So he is also famous for his good temper.

"Now I want to invite one person to cross the river and go to the east of the river as an envoy to join me in mobilizing Marquis Wu."

Leading troops in battle is no problem.

Of course the person he was talking about was Ma Di, but for such an important event, Ma Di had just arrived, and he only showed his eloquence to Liu Qi, and the rest of his talent was never seen by other civil and military personnel.

"My elder brother is a descendant of the empress of the Han Dynasty. He is so honorable as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can he wait here? If you don't want me to wait for counselors, just go back to the barracks to train soldiers."

Of course, there is no need to worry about the number of troops. 10,000+ people will defend to the death and fortify the main roads.

"Please!"

But I have to say that what he said moved Liu Bei very much. Uncle Liu Huang was chased and fled all his life, from north to south, and now he is even close to Jiangdong.

Liu Bei smiled wryly, "Wait a minute, then Ma Su is not a mediocre person, just overnight last night, Mr. Liu Qi can think so clearly and act decisively, so he is not a mediocre person."

"Since that's the case, I will return to Jiangdong immediately, and I will ask Xiaochang to go with me."

that night.

just now.

Most of the people in Jingzhou are pro-Cao faction. Some time ago, they have been instigating Liu Biao to surrender and surrender, so as to keep their wealth and wealth. They have governed various places these years, and it is impossible to see the true hearts of these people.

At the same time, Liu Bei also understands very well that even if Sun Liu is in an alliance, the difference in military strength between the two sides is also huge.

Liu Qi made a gesture of invitation, and of course he didn't procrastinate. He immediately led Lu Su across the side of the main hall, smiled with Liu Bei, and went to invite Ma Di.

Lu Su nodded and smiled, "I know, Ma Liang and Ma Jichang."

Even in the next battle, if he loses, the whole Jiangdong's heart will fall apart.

After careful consideration, Liu Qi agreed to Lu Su's request.

"Oh?"

Guan Yu caressed his beard, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, third brother, be safe and don't be impatient, listen to elder brother."

One person thinks alone, lonely and difficult.

How can I still refuse?

Sun Qian and Jian Yong.

"It's called Ma Shi Wuchang, the white eyebrow is the best, and his elder brother is Ma Liang."

"How about we go?"

"In this way, you can even guess overnight, what kind of words they will say to the school, you can prepare in advance."

Lu Su stood with his hands behind his back, with a firm expression on his face. There must be a very high-ranking person standing behind him to support him, so he was willing to use the name of condolences to cross the river in person to try and lobby.

After hearing this, Lu Su chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely bring this to my lord."

"I do have a good candidate here, but he is too young to be famous."

Lu Su is a generous person, he doesn't like to procrastinate, and many of his words come to the fore, which is the best way to discuss.

The status will never be low in the future.

Ask about the plan.

He had to consider whether this was his only chance in this life.

"But it's okay to say," Liu Bei guessed, and immediately raised his hand to signal.

In this way, maybe the words are not enough weight, and if there is no merit, it can only be compiled first, and Liu Qi's placement in Jiangxia is said to be Ma Di's.

"Now, Jingzhou is at stake. If Marquis Wu wants to, he can join forces to fight against Cao."

Lu Su talked with Ma Di all night, and it was settled, and he smiled when it was about to dawn.

Jingzhou is such a large territory, defeating Cao Cao once, you can get a lot of territory, these are the foundations of your foothold...

Therefore, Ma Di clearly stated that the 20 people brought by Liu Bei actually made great achievements. If they want to settle down and survive, farming is the only way out.

This person must have excellent eloquence, have confidence in the war, and be able to predict the sudden changes on the battlefield before fighting.

Ma Di was like this, he had to be in charge first, but he didn't need to manage politics to prepare to follow Lu Su to Jiangdong.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked, Liu Bei and Liu Qi were also in awe and gasped.

After arguing for a long time, Sun Ce didn't agree?
If you want us to persuade him, your matter is nonsense.

There must be quite a few pro-Cao factions in Jiangdong, and even many of them should be Cao-phobic or Xu-phobic factions.

Liu Bei lost to Xu Zhen's plan four times in a row in Xinye. This incident is a good story in Jiangdong, of course it is a good story for Xu Bowen and Cao Cao.

It is in the process of continuous planning, many people talk to each other, tell each other hidden dangers, and improve the results.

Ma Di was in the inner hall to read Jiangxia's policies during this period and the memorials sent from various places.

At the same time, they leaned back and looked at each other without saying anything, but everyone should have the same idea.

Your own lord, you still can't persuade, now you want us to persuade, maybe we will persuade Jiangdong gentry together.

Liu Qi took the initiative to say this, but both Liu Bei and Lu Su were a little surprised, and it seemed that he had his own style when he said these words.

"Young master Liu Qi should be the real master of Jingzhou."

In Jiangdong, no one among Confucian scholars could beat him, only because Lu Zijing also had the ability to lead troops.

Although Ma Di is not good, but among many excellent talents, it is not bad to have a eloquent speaker.

It is difficult for ordinary people to suppress their anger and self-esteem, and I am afraid they will be ashamed.

Because if you can do it, you can do it, if you can’t do it, you can’t.

It can be regarded as putting the events of the year on the bright side, and it can be explained clearly for the time being, so that Lu Su can tell Sun Ce his attitude when he returns to his command.

At that time, what the south needed was several years of fortifications, and the two places should be separated first, so that Cao's army could not attack quickly.

"Ci's essays are brilliant, his thoughts are far-sighted, and he has written a lot of military policy theory. If he can gain several years of experience in governing or leading troops, and accumulate hard work, his achievements will never be low in the future. At least he will be a talent for governing the state. "

Tens of thousands of people can resist hundreds of thousands of troops, let alone Jiangdong and Jiangxia combined should have nearly 30 troops?
Furthermore, Jiangdong has been operating for eight years, how much food has been hoarded, how can it be knocked down at will.

It's a pity that the five brothers in the family have a good reputation, and I am afraid that the elders in the family will not let him be a small official.

Lu Su was suddenly curious, "Can you bring me down to meet you, my lord?"

Lu Su saw that they were silent, so he laughed and said: "This person went to Jiangdong, and I will help him secretly, so that he can know the specialties of the gentlemen and tell the generals in the army different temperaments."

We must unite with Jiangdong, and we cannot resist Cao Jun alone.

And this is what Zhou Yu practiced on the river these years.

In addition, Ma Su also analyzed the advantages of the dangerous water battle on the river. There are thousands of people on a warship, and once it is destroyed, it can kill a large number of enemy troops.

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and said.

However, what they didn't know was that after Liu Bei returned last night, Liu Qi didn't go to sleep immediately, but invited Ma Di to his inner room.

The forces in the south are mostly scattered, but the population is large, the land is good for farming, and there are many water villages. The real advantage in this battle lies in the water battle. We must rely on Jiangdong to defeat Cao Cao, and then use land cavalry to attack and chase, so that we can win the world.

As for Cai Mao's battles with Jiangdong in recent years, he lost more than he won, so it was nothing to worry about. No matter how many soldiers and horses were given to him, he would not be able to completely win.

Lu Su's eyes flickered for a moment, he took a deep look at Liu Bei, and finally smiled and looked expectantly at Liu Qi, "Young Master, you can also find someone."

Liu Qi was not polite either. After nodding slightly, he gave Lu Su an approving look, "It was my father who listened to the slander about General Sun, and he made up for it later. Jingzhou and Jiangdong have been fighting for so long, so it should be It's time to let go of your grudges."

Liu Bei wanted to persuade him, but found that Lu Su was not in a hurry to refuse. Liu Qi smiled and said, "He is the son of the Ma family in Xiangyang, the last person. There is a saying among famous people in Xiangyang, Jingzhou."

"Young Master Liu Qi, Uncle Liu Huang, I have a merciless request."

But sometimes if you talk to people, you will have more fighting spirit, and these people have to be like-minded people.

Furthermore, it is the military spirit.

Now he is the most capable lobbyist under Liu Bei's command, and he can only get the two of them.

……

"Wait and see..." Liu Bei almost sighed and said this sentence, his eyes were already looking straight ahead, as if looking at a distant place.

"If the alliance between Sun and Liu can be brought about, we will have a chance to resist Cao in the future."

Cao Cao can lose more than a dozen times, and he may not be forced to die, but the so-called Sun Liu alliance can only lose once.

To restore the glory of the great man, my Uncle Liu Huang is obliged!
"Okay, since Zijing invited me, I will find a suitable person under my command and follow Zijing across the river!"

In fact, it is not just a strategy.

It's no problem to defend Cao's army, as long as you enter the defensive position and take precautions for a long time in the future, the competition is to harvest the grain and grass in the farm.

Lu Su thought to himself, although this young Confucian scholar has the ability to argue, he is not amazing. He can only answer fluently, not even as good as himself, not enough to admire.

After discussing all these overnight, Liu Qi also agreed, and appointed him as a military adviser overnight, assisting the prefect, and the position of internal affairs is a meritorious serviceman in governance, and his power is not low.

They have never fought, but they are deterred by their record, dare not fight, and have no will to win. These are all things that need to be continuously instilled and constructed in the debate before they can be obtained.

All plans are not achieved by one person or overnight.

"The foundation of two generations of the Sun family has laid down this land of fish and rice, and resettled millions of people. They don't want to just hand it over to others."

The three Liu Bei brothers were waiting outside, and now that Gao Lan was here, it was difficult to say something, Zhang Fei's face was already extremely ugly, and finally he couldn't help but approach Guan Yu and mutter something in a low voice.

Even, you can rehearse several battles casually, and understand each other's use of troops, so that you can refute everyone and fight with your officials.

Yes, overnight.

Moreover, many of the words were never based on the fundamentals, indicating that he had not thought deeply about the possibility, or that he had too little experience and had never actually dealt with politics. He would be able to learn all of these when he worked as a small official for a few years.

At the critical moment, no one could stand up to take on the big responsibility, including Cai Mao and other generals who had high hopes.

At the same time, it also saved Liu Bei a lot of trouble, and he didn't need to speak out to persuade him. Mr. Liu Qi knew the current situation himself.

"In that case, I entrust Mr. Wang with carte blanche."

"It's a great cause to try our best to fight against Cao Cao," Lu Su said with a sense of greatness on his face, "In troubled times, meritorious deeds should be the main thing, and Cao Jun will bring the army down. How can it be defeated without a fight?"

"When you fight once, you will know the winner and the loser. In troubled times for many years, if you don't accept your fate because of hunger and poverty, how can you compromise for the army's prestige?"

With a smile on the corner of Lu Su's mouth, he bowed his hands elegantly, turned his head and walked away with Ma Di.
