The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 315 The quarrelsome crouching dragon and phoenix chicks are destined for Jingzhou!

Today's discussion, everyone thought it was purely about Jingzhou's problems,

But Pang Tong's opening directly raised the significance of today's meeting to more than one level.

The people present are not fools, and naturally they all know the importance of Jingzhou to the world,
Hearing Pang Tong's words, they all nodded slightly in agreement, and then looked at Pang Tong quietly.

"My lord, now our army has pacified Jiangdong, the soldiers and horses have sufficient food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers is strong."

Arching his hands towards Xi Yu, Pang Tong said slowly:
"Now, with the help of General Huang and Guo Lingjun, Gongjin has led the troops to the Huangpi area. If Gongjin leads an army along the river and goes straight to Xiangyang, Xiangyang will be in our hands in no time."

Waving his arms, Pang Tong's face was full of confidence.

"Xiangyang is the barrier of Jingzhou. If Xiangyang City breaks our army and then enters Jingzhou, it will be like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. Jingzhou can be wiped out in an instant, so Jingzhou can be broken!"

Looking at the confident Pang Tong on his face, recalling what he just said,

Everyone also nodded frequently,

But at this moment, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, shook the feather fan in his hand slightly, and said slowly:

"My lord, Liang feels that what Shi Yuan said may be a little inappropriate."

Hearing Zhuge Liang question Pang Tong, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly:

"What is Kong Ming's insight?"

Gently shaking the feather fan in his hand, Zhuge Liang said slowly:
"On the surface, since Liu Jingsheng died of illness in this Jingzhou, the position of the lord of Jingzhou has been inherited by his son, but according to our information, the main control of this generation of Jingzhou is now in the hands of Liu Xuande."

Glancing around the crowd present, Zhuge Liang went on to say:

"Everyone should know that although we know that Liu Xuande is a hypocrite, the people of Jingzhou think he is a great hero who rescued them from Duke Cao. The people of Jingzhou are very grateful to Liu Xuande."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued:

"Besides, this Liu Xuande also has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command, these two world-renowned fierce generals, it may not be easy for us to win Jingzhou."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, everyone nodded frequently.
And Xi Yu also raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of unclear meaning,
What the two of them said now has some truth, and both of them are unwilling to admit defeat. Now Zhuge Liang directly denied Pang Tong's idea.

According to Xi Yu's understanding of Pang Tong, he will definitely not let it go, and the two will definitely quarrel later.

Sure enough, just after Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Pang Tong's voice reached Xi Yu's ears.

"Kong Ming's words, but some people think that others' ambition will destroy their own prestige."

With a cold snort, Pang Tong's tone was full of deep disdain.

Pang Tong has always believed that his talent and learning are at par with Zhuge Liang, but when he came to join Xi Yu,

It was because Zhuge Liang asked for mercy that he was able to stay, and this made Pang Tong feel very uncomfortable.

Although it is here to discuss matters related to Jingzhou,
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will be a matter of time before Jingzhou is won, and now it is just a matter of whose opinion the lord is willing to adopt.

Since entering the camp, Pang Tong, who had always wanted to make contributions to prove that he was no worse than Zhuge Liang, became active at this moment.

So, he turned to Zhuge Liang without hesitation.

"My lord owns the land of four continents, and controls millions of soldiers! There are countless money, food, cattle and horses, and there are hundreds of strong generals! I have just pacified Jiangdong, and it is a time when morale is strong, and everyone is working hard to forge ahead."

After all, Pang Tong raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with deep contempt and disdain.

"What's so scary about a little Liu Bei who hasn't stabilized Jingzhou yet?"

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands towards Xi Yu and said:
"What's more, he, Liu Bei, is a hypocritical person. Even if he deceived the people of Jingzhou for a while, so what if he gained the trust of the people of Jingzhou? When my lord's army arrives, the people of Jingzhou will know who is the real benevolent person, and who is the person who deceives the world and steals fame!"

After finishing speaking, Pang Tong cupped his hands to Zhuge Liang, his eyes still full of deep disdain.

Facing Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang didn't panic in the slightest at the moment, and was still shaking the lupine in his hand steadily like an old dog.

"What Shi Yuan said at the moment is reasonable. My lord now has millions of soldiers under his command. If he wants to defeat that big-eared thief, it will be in an instant."

Hearing that Zhuge Liang actually praised him, Pang Tongtong was a little dazed for a while.

"Ke Shiyuan, you should know that this Xiangyang has been the site of four wars since ancient times. The dynasties have continuously strengthened Xiangyang city. Up to now, Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's talk about how many casualties our army will have if we attack Xiangyang. Let's talk about it first. If Liu Bei sees that the situation is not good and tricks the people of Xiangyang to defend the city with him, then our army will break through Xiangyang. Xiangyang?"

"What's more, the general trend of the world is determined now, and the day when my lord will unify the world can be determined. The people of Xiangyang are also my lord's subjects. If the people suffer, how can the lord's benevolence bear it?"

Watching the talk, while belittling Liu Bei, while raising his own Zhuge Liang.

Sitting on the main seat, Xi Yu's eyes were also full of deep ambiguity.

"Ryoko, it's over"

Although I think Zhuge Liang's scolding of Liu Bei is a bit strange, but what Zhuge Liang said is worth thinking about.

After all, population is productivity!

Since the moment when the situation began to tilt towards him, his pace of attack has been constantly slowing down. When dealing with many things, it is often the means of peace first.
If peaceful means are not enough, then he will use force means, the most important of which is because of the population.

In the future, I will develop the industrial revolution. If it is because of the war, the population will be wiped out, which is not worth the loss.
Therefore, if the people can survive, they must survive.

At this moment, Pang Tong frowned slightly when he heard what Zhuge Liang said. Because of the reason why Zhuge Liang praised him before, Pang Tong also arched his hands and asked slowly:
"I don't know what Kong Ming thinks our army should do?"

Facing Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly,

Zhuge Liang is naturally aware of Pang Tong's careful thought of making meritorious service,
If this is normal, I will give up if I let it go, but now this is a big event about Xi Yu's unification of the world,

Naturally, it cannot be mixed with any personal feelings and can only be done in business.

"As far as Liang knows, when Duke Cao went south, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to kill Cai Mao. This move Liu Bei offended the entire wealthy family in Jingzhou."

"Although this noble family in Jingzhou is not like the noble families in Qing and Xu, they still have a lot of servants in their family."

"If our army can pull these Jingzhou nobles into our hands and make them abandon their darkness and turn to the light to welcome my righteous army, or if we can minimize the casualties, it is even more likely to take Xiangyang without bloodshed."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, everyone present also nodded slightly,

Everyone is also constantly thinking in their minds. Now what these two people say has its truth, and there is no problem in doing what anyone thinks.

Now I want to see Xi Yu who is sitting on the high platform, and whose opinion he wants to adopt, all of a sudden everyone turns their heads to look at Xi Yu.

Before Xi Yu could speak, a cold voice came slowly from the corner.

"What is there to fight for in this kind of thing? In my opinion, it is not as good as people buying Hao Qiang, while rectifying the troops and horses and waiting for the opportunity. When Hao Qiang and Liu Bei lose both sides in the fight, order Zhou Dadu to lead the army to kill Xiangyang, and take Hao Qiang and Liu Bei together."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their heads to look at Jia Xu who was sitting in the corner, and shrugged slightly. Jia Xu looked indifferent,
After glancing at Jia Xu, everyone couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Ruthless, too ruthless, as expected of Jia Xu, her acting style is still so ruthless.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Xi Yu, waiting for his answer.

After scanning the crowd around, Xi Yu spoke slowly:
"Jia Xu's idea is very good, I have already ordered Feng Xiao to do this."

After slowly explaining Guo Fengxiao's previous plan and the current situation to everyone, Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and spoke slowly.

"Liangzi's idea is also very good, so we started after Haozu and Liu Bei started biting each other. If time dragged on for a long time, I'm afraid the people of Jingzhou would be wiped out by them."

After listening to Xi Yu's narration, everyone present also showed a look of sudden realization,

It turns out that the lord has already made up his mind about how to attack Jingzhou.

For a moment, tears welled up in everyone's eyes, the lord is really the lord of benevolence, with such an advantage, the people of Jingzhou can still be the main ones,

What a benevolent and virtuous man!

At the same time, a trace of confusion rose in the hearts of everyone.

Since the lord has already thought about how to solve this matter, why did he ask them to come here to discuss the matter together?
Looking at everyone's expressions, Xi Yu naturally knew what they were thinking at the moment.

With a slight smile, he expressed the most important purpose of this discussion.

"After the civil strife in Jingzhou, in addition to letting Zhou Yu lead troops to the south, the north cannot stop. Now we want to see who is willing to lead troops to attack Xiangyang from north to south?"

Hearing that there was a battle to be fought, Xu Chu stood up and said:
"My lord! Xu Chuyuan leads the army!"

Seeing Xu Chu stand up, Xi Yu frowned slightly, it wasn't that he didn't want Xu Chu to lead the army,

It's just that Xu Chu's leg was injured before and it hasn't healed yet, and now it's not a time of shortage of personnel.

Xi Yu naturally didn't want Xu Chu to play with injuries.

"But, your leg hurts"

Seeing that Xi Yu mentioned his leg injury, Xu Chu was afraid that Xi Yu would not let him play because of this reason, so he stretched his legs quickly.

"A small scratch is not worth mentioning, but the injury has already recovered, and it will not affect the capture of the big-eared thief at all!"

While Xi Yu was thinking, all the generals below also volunteered to fight.

After looking around at the generals present, Xi Yu then ordered two people.

"Then Wen Yuan will be the commander in chief, Dian Wei will be the vanguard, and lead the troops to attack Xiangyang from north to south."

After all, the general situation is now set, whoever is sent to this kind of thing will have the same result,

After giving all the orders, Xi Yu went back to the inner courtyard and considered whether he should study today.

When Xi Yu left, Pang Tong's complexion was very ugly at the moment,

I thought that my opinion would be adopted by the lord this time, but I didn't expect that the lord didn't even mention it this time.

Although he was very disappointed, Xi Yu's rules were still very clear to Pang Tong. Infighting was something the lord hated the most, so once it was decided, no one could change it.

Sighing lightly, Pang Tong walked away slowly.

But before taking two steps, Zhuge Liang caught up with him.

"Shi Yuan, there is some good wine at the Astronomical Academy, and I am treating you today for my brother, I wonder if Shi Yuan can give me some face?"

In fact, for Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang still felt a little apologetic in his heart,
Although the previous incident was for the master to unify the world, Zhuge Liang felt a little sorry for what he just said.
And this meal of wine, Zhuge Liang came to compensate Pang Tong.

You can say that at any time, but Pang Tong, who is still angry at this moment, has a cold face.

"The wine in your astronomical institute is not something people like me can bear."

After saying that, he strode away and went straight to the design institute.

Looking at Pang Tong striding away, Zhuge Liang also had a look of helplessness on his face.

At this moment, Xi Yu has returned to her bedroom, reclining on the Taishi's chair, looking at the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Xi Yu's face is full of ease and pleasure.

Now there is Zhou Yu Guo Jia in the south of Jingzhou, and Zhang Liao Dianwei in the north will arrive soon. It can be said that Jingzhou is now in his pocket, and he doesn't have to worry about anything now.

Feeling the temperature of the brazier under his feet, Xi Yu gradually felt a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Or because he played mahjong too late last night, Xi Yu felt a little tired now.

Logically speaking, last night he prepared ten exhibition oil lamps, such behavior can be described as extremely luxurious, and Gan Mei and Cai Yan did not feel the slightest discomfort.

But for Xi Yu, who has enjoyed electric lights, even if he came to Baizhan oil lamps, he would not look down on him.

"Alas~~~~ It seems that the group of people in the Academy of Sciences should be urged to quickly research electricity and light bulbs."

With a slight sigh, Xi Yu was going to find some time to go to the Academy of Sciences and urge them to get the lights out.

"Husband, that girl from the Sun family."

Just when Xi Yu was thinking about how to bring light to the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan Mei entered the room without knowing when.

Although Gan Mei was not very used to entering Xi Yu's room directly at first, but after all, this was the privilege Xi Yu gave her, and she gradually got used to it over time.
Besides, Gan Mei found that entering after knocking seemed to disturb Xi Yu more than entering directly without knocking, so she simply changed her habit.

Seeing Gan Mei coming in, Xi Yu naturally knew the reason for her coming, so he softly persuaded:
"You don't have to worry about her. If she wants to continue to sulk, let her go. Maybe she will figure it out after staying alone for a long time."

Looking at Ganmei's appearance, Xi Yu's eyes also contained a little distress,
After all, for the matter of Sun Shangxiang, Gan Mei has exhausted her mind, and even the smile on her face has become less and less.

In this case, let Gan Mei leave her alone, after all, the Sun family has already agreed, and Xi Yu has plenty of time to spend with Sun Shangxiang.

But when Xi Yu finished speaking, Gan Mei hurriedly said:
"No, no, husband, don't get me wrong, the sister of the Sun family wants to study for him, but she is afraid of making him unhappy, so she just stands outside the door and dare not come in."

Hearing Gan Mei's words, Xi Yu was also taken aback for a moment, which was a bit surprising.

This was a big loss last night, how long has it been since he adjusted his emotions and prepared to make money again?
Shaking his head slightly, Xi Yu said to Gan Mei:

"Let her in."

After stretching, Xi Yu picked up the Classic of Mountains and Seas again, just now he was a little tired from reading, and now it's just right that someone came to read to him.

After receiving Xi Yu's order, Gan Mei quickly pulled in Sun Shangxiang who was standing outside the door, and then found a random reason to leave.

After Ganmei left, Sun Shangxiang and Xiyu were alone in the room, you looked at me, I looked at you,
It seemed that no one wanted to speak first, and no one wanted to bow their heads first.

After a while, Xi Yu put his feet up again, leaned on the grand teacher's chair and slowly picked up the "Shan Hai Jing",
At this time, Sun Shangxiang couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Does what you said last night still count?"

Hearing Sun Shangxiang speak, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows and said directly: "Why doesn't it count? What I say always counts."

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Sun Shangxiang's complexion changed and he spoke slowly:
"A few books I haven't read since I was a child, so I want two coppers for every word."

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's attitude, Xi Yu was also slightly taken aback, and then looked at her coldly.

This is her attitude of asking for help?Now is he begging her or is she begging herself?
This stuff just doesn't make sense.

There are a lot of people in this mansion who want to do things like this kind of thing that can make money by opening their mouths.

"As I said, everything I say counts. Therefore, every word is worth every word, and there is no room for haggling."

To be honest, one word and one copper is already very cheap, and even a little expensive.

At that time, when Xi Yu issued silver bills in the bank, he divided the silver bills into three categories: gold, silver, and copper. Among them, ten coppers are one silver, and one silver is one gold.

Now, Sun Shangxiang already owes him 520 gold, which is [-] words if converted.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang didn't even figure out how much she owed, but she knew it must be a lot of money.

Although he heard what Xi Yu said, Sun Shangxiang's belief was still very firm.

"Two coppers."

But Xi Yu said calmly without raising his eyelids:

"One copper."

Seeing that Xi Yu was unmoved at all, he stomped his feet and Sun Shangxiang turned his head with puffed mouth and walked towards the door.

But when she was about to walk to the door, she stopped suddenly and fell into hesitation again.
