Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 149 Battle of wits Zhou Yu
Zhuge Ming did not shy away. He turned around and walked to the inner hall, saying at the same time: "Go to Jiangdong again and convince Sun Quan to raise troops from Chaisang to attack Hefei!"

Zhuge Liang walked a few steps and caught up with Zhuge Ming. He asked in surprise: "The scouts have reported that half of Wancheng's troops have been transferred to Hefei. I am afraid that there are nearly 30 troops stationed in Hefei now, but the elite troops from Jiangdong are all in Poyang. Chai Sang and Sun Quan's troops only have Tai Shi Ci, Song Qian, and Jia Hua. How can they compete with him?"

Zhuge Ming walked into the central hall, pointed to the location in Hefei County with the folding fan in his hand, and said leisurely: "There are 30 troops stationed here, which is just a piece of fat. Whoever grabs it belongs to him!"

"If I were not beyond my reach, why would I give it to Sun Quan? This matter cannot be delayed for too long. It will be too late to regret if the opportunity is missed. You go to Poyang tomorrow to meet with Zhou Yu and ask him to send troops to support Chaisang, and then go to Chaisang to see Sun Quan , persuade him to send troops to attack Hefei!"

"Once the war in Hefei begins and it is certain to win, the Cao thieves in Wancheng will not dare to act rashly!"

Zhuge Liang kept this in mind, suddenly woke up, and said with great joy: "Is it because Hefei was trapped by Fancheng and had no food and grass?"

Zhuge Ming nodded and continued: "I expect that when Cao Cao sees Zhang Liao being captured, he will definitely choose another good general to go to Hefei. If the five great counselors think that the person who will replace Zhang Liao will definitely be Xu Huang. Xu Huang has more courage and strength but lacks resourcefulness, so he will assist Xu Huang Yes, I'm afraid it's still Xia Houmao who was let go by us. This embroidered pillow will definitely ruin Cao Cao's big event!"

Zhuge Liang was convinced and pointed at Hefei on the sand table with his hand: "Sure enough, this is an opportunity not to be missed! If Cao Cao wakes up, changes the general, or dispatches food and fodder urgently, the morale of the 30-strong army will be stabilized. Not only will it be unable to take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid The offense and defense have changed, and even Chaisang County cannot be defended!"

Zhuge Ming turned around and came to the desk, took out a brochure bag from the drawer and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

"When you go to Chaisang, you can exchange information with Lu Su. If Sun Quan is short of people in front of the formation and wants to keep you there to serve, you must not agree. You can also recommend Lu Su to replace you as a military advisor to assist Sun Quan. This is You must keep this in mind, if anything goes wrong, your life will be at risk!"

"I have a bag of tips. After you join Chaisang, you can open the bag and make your own ideas."

Kong Ming was full of doubts, and he generally understood that his brother told him not to stay in Jiangdong as a military advisor.Zhou Yu had a lot of jealousy in his heart. If he assisted Sun Quan in winning a battle, he would not be tolerated by Zhou Yu and would be persecuted by him. If he lost the battle, he would not be able to survive!
only……

Recommend Lu Su as military advisor?Wouldn't that destroy Sun Quan's three armies?Lu Su was a civil servant who was not familiar with the art of war and strategy.Moreover, this person has a mellow nature and has the air of an elder. Such a character is not suitable for being an army counselor!

"Brother, don't worry. It won't be too late. I'll prepare immediately and leave today to go to Poyang first!"

Although Zhuge Liang was puzzled, he firmly believed that his brother's words must be true, and he did not inquire into the details. He bid farewell to Zhuge Ming and returned to his home to prepare for his trip to Jiangdong.

……

Early the next morning, a small boat sailed into the water village of Poyang Lake.

"Kong Ming, how can you thank me?"

In the inner hall, Zhou Yu held a small banquet alone to drink with Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu is dressed in Confucian attire, with majestic appearance and impressive temperament.At this moment, he looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile and said lightly.

"What is the Grand Governor referring to?"

Zhuge Liang looked confused, opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Yu and asked.

"Ha ha!"

"Kong Ming is pretending to be stupid again!"

"Didn't I send the food and grass from Fancheng to Jiangxia? If I hadn't plotted to lure Zhang Liao, how would you have gained from Jiangxia's victory? Shouldn't you, Jingzhou, thank me?"

Zhou Yu's face was full of smiles, but only two eyes burst out with two cold lights. He stared at Zhuge Liang and said sharply.

"The Governor is so shameless!"

"You and I both set up a net to wait for the fish, but unfortunately the fish did not reach Poyang and instead entered our Jiangxia. Are the fish raised by you in Jiangdong? If our army senior brother had not set up a plan and was on guard, wouldn't it be that we would be at war with each other and both sides would suffer? By that time At that time, I’m afraid you, Jiangdong, may not be able to barge in with a net and destroy my family in one pot!”

"The Governor is very thoughtful and has no intention of forming an alliance to help each other. Instead, he intends to cause harm. My lord does not raise an army to investigate the crime, which is already considered as caring about the alliance. Instead, you come to ask me, Jingzhou, to thank you?"

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Zhuge Liang's face darkened, and he fired a thunderous fire cannon to pierce Zhou Yu's mind. Under the scolding, Zhou Yu had no choice but to endure.

He ordered Gan Ning and Ling Tong to hunt down Chen Qun, intending to frame Jingzhou, but Zhang Liao suddenly appeared.Although Zhang Liao had many warships, they were all large ships transporting grain and troops, not naval forces throughout the battle.Due to the strength of the ship and its rampage, Gan Ning's small boat was barely able to bully Gan Ning. When they saw Zhou Yu's large group of people arriving, they did not dare to fight and ran away, taking advantage of the fog to enter the ground of Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu was about to pursue him, but when he saw that Zhang Liao's ships were numerous and difficult to distinguish between strong and weak, he was afraid that he might be ambushed. Secondly, he hoped that Zhang Liao's navy would be brave and deliver a fatal blow to Jiangxia.

As long as the Jiangxia navy suffered a slight setback during the battle, he could ask for help, raise troops into Jiangxia openly and take the opportunity to seize Jiangxia!

He had no intention of destroying the Sun-Liu alliance, but the navy was Jiangdong's advantage for survival. He could not tolerate the existence of another navy in Jiangxia who was accustomed to fighting and was not weaker than himself.

"You and I are an alliance, we are a family! Why should Kong Ming be so serious? No matter whose pocket the fish goes into, as long as it is not released back into the sea, it is a success!"

Zhou Yu laughed in a self-deprecating way.

Zhuge Liang pretended to be angry and continued: "This battle with our military advisor has eliminated a serious problem in Jiangdong. In this way, it is time for you to go to Jingzhou in person to thank our Lord!"

Zhou Yu's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Kong Ming and I were just joking, why should we take it so seriously? You captured Zhang Liao in Jingzhou, got the food and grass, and took advantage of it, but you came to me to be a good boy? Do you think I have nothing to do with Jiangdong?" Human?"

Zhuge Liang did not panic at all. He leaned close to Zhou Yu's ear and whispered: "Cao's thieves built a plank road secretly to Chencang, and smuggled soldiers and horses from Wancheng to Hefei. Now there are 30 soldiers and horses stationed in Hefei. If it hadn't been for the design of our military adviser, Dong would have been captured. The leader of the front line Cao thieves has cut off their food and grass. I am afraid that Chaisang has already been captured by Zhang Liao, and your lord may have become a prisoner of the Cao thieves!"

Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he was secretly horrified: "What Kong Ming said is true! I only care about the benefits of Jingzhou, hoping that Cao Cao will attack Jingzhou and weaken Liu Bei's strength. But I ignored the enemy of Hefei!"

But he was still very calm on his face. He curled his lips and smiled, and said casually: "Kong Ming is making a fuss and bragging again. Cao Cao's move to Hefei is just a rumor, which may not be true. But I, Jiangdong, funded your food and grass just yesterday. Transferred to Fancheng via Poyang!"

"You and I are working together to help each other. Even if what you just said is true, there is nothing inappropriate."

When Kong Ming heard Zhou Yu say that the food and grass from Jiangdong to support Fancheng had finally been delivered, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly admired Lu Su for actually keeping his word and keeping his word.It even relieved my hanging heart: with two batches of grain and grass from Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Fancheng can support itself for more than six months. After half a year, Fancheng will be self-sufficient with the harvest from the fields cleared by the Southern Man King's men.From this virtuous cycle, Fancheng no longer has to rely on peripheral aid to survive!
The two of them had their own motives, and they exchanged cups and cups. Although they talked very passionately, they were full of lies and few of the words they said to each other were true.Everyone's secrets are kept secret.

"Kong Ming, are you coming to Poyang to meet me this time just for these trivial things? If you want anything, you can tell me directly. You and I are allies, and I will do my best."

After the two drank several more glasses of wine, Zhou Yu finally lost his composure and began to test Zhuge Liang's intentions.

Zhuge Liang slowly put down the wine glass, picked up a piece of venison breast with his chopsticks, chewed it gently, then picked up the wine glass and swallowed the venison into his belly with a sip of wine, looking leisurely and contented.

"Kong Ming, what do you want from me when you come to Jiangdong?" Zhou Yu urged again.

Zhuge Liang raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, laughing: "The Governor has misunderstood. I came to Jiangdong not to meet the Governor. I went to Chaisang to pay a visit to your lord. I remembered my old friendship with the Governor, so I stopped by to pay a visit. .”

Zhou Yu became more and more curious and asked: "But why did you go to Chaisang to see my lord?"

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "I will convince your lord to raise an army to attack Hefei and start a war with Cao Cao!"

Zhou Yu was surprised at first, and then laughed loudly!

"Kong Ming, you are Mr. Wolong! Are you so insane?"

"Don't you hear that 'if you are not sure about foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu'? If my lord wants to raise an army, he will come and ask me for my opinion, but I will definitely oppose my lord's sending an army!"

"Your trip will be in vain! It's doomed!"

Zhou Yu became more and more proud, looking at Zhuge Liang with a smile in his eyes, waiting for Zhuge Liang to beg him.

Zhuge Liang remained calm and didn't say anything, just smiled and fiddled with the wine glass in his hand.

"Kong Ming, your military advisor Mr. Zhuge is so sneaky!"

"He didn't send troops, but he asked you to come to Jiangdong to trick my lord into sending troops first. How can such a good thing be possible? If my lord sends troops to anger Cao Cao, and Wancheng's soldiers and horses pour into Hefei like a tide, how can Chai Sang resist it? Where to live?”

"You are now at ease. With a sharp tongue and a sharp tongue, you have dragged me Jiangdong into despair, so that you can reap the benefits! I, Zhou Yu, was not born to be fooled by you!"

Zhou Yu believed that Zhuge Wende was cunning and wise. The last time he poisoned Cao Chong, he put a shit helmet on Jiangdong's head, which prompted Cao Cao to launch an army to attack Jiangdong.This time the same old trick is repeated and Jiangdong is dragged into the game again!

He was ready. No matter how fanciful Zhuge Liang said, he only had one word "no"!
But to his surprise, Kong Ming not only did not panic at all, but became even calmer. He gently picked up the wine bottle, filled Zhou Yu's glass, and then filled his own wine glass.The clear wine body seems to have protruded from the wall of the cup, and it will overflow as long as it is shaken slightly.

But Zhuge Liang's fingers were steady and he slowly picked up the wine glass without disrespecting Zhou Yu. He drank it by himself without spilling a drop of wine.

Zhou Yu’s expression changed again!
This reflects Zhuge Liang's inner calmness.It is a kind of confidence to win, a determination to win!

He was even more contemptuous of him, the governor of Jiangdong, as if he were nothing!

Zhou Yu was no longer calm, and his heart was filled with ups and downs. The hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, and the wine slipped down the glass and fell on the table.

Zhuge Liang picked up the wine pot again and refilled Zhou Yu's and his own glasses. Then he spoke and said calmly: "I'm going to Chaisang to persuade your lord to raise an army to attack Hefei. If you don't obey, it will be treason." .”

"If I were you, I would take the initiative to ask for help!"

"Sun Liu Alliance, my military advisor will not harm you. It is now time to build a great cause together!"

Zhuge Liang stood up, stood in front of the table, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.He turned around and left with a laugh, leaving Zhou Yu sitting alone at the table, guarding the drained wine glass, his mind in a mess.

If Kong Ming persuades him with earnest words, he may become more determined to oppose it.

However, at this time, Zhuge Liang didn't even bother to explain to him the necessity of the Battle of Hefei.It seems that there is no intention to ask for his consent and support at all!

This only made him even more frightened!
Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu walked side by side, got on the boat, and headed straight out of the water village.

Zhou Yu still didn't wear armor, didn't wear a battle robe, and didn't bring any soldiers. All the generals trained their own navy, and no one followed him.

"Last time Chen Qun visited the Governor, but he wanted to join forces with you to deal with Jingzhou. Do you promise to divide the world equally after you succeed?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the boatman rowing hard in front with a smile, but did not turn to look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu had no expression on his face and did not look at Zhuge Liang. He said calmly: "Since you know, why bother asking?"

Zhuge Liang bent down and took off the clogs on his feet, and threw them far away.There are neither rapids nor strong winds in the water village, and the water flow is extremely gentle.

"Teng!"

When the clogs fall into the water, the water splashes and ripples, and the center blooms, spreading far and wide.

Zhou Yu changed his face and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang laughed, took off the other clog, and threw it out.The two ripples overlap and ripple on the water.

"It's not surprising that Cao Cao wants to alienate the Sun-Liu alliance and unite with Jiangdong to attack Jingzhou. I believe the governor will not be easily fooled."

Zhou Yu sneered, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot: "If I fell into the trap, how could I pursue Chen Qun? How could I force Zhang Liao's troops into the trap set by your military advisor Zhuge? Join forces to fight against Cao, and Use force to resist the enemy, and the battle of Jiangxia is a good example of cooperation between you and me!"

"But if Cao Cao really asked for cooperation, why didn't he go to Chaisang to meet your lord, but why did he come to Poyang Lake to meet you?"

Kong Ming suddenly sat on the ground, fidgeting with the cloth wrapped around his feet with both hands, and asked casually as if nothing had happened.

"My lord is in Chaisang, and it is extremely inconvenient to come and go. Moreover, I am trusted by Sun Bofu, and I am trusted by the lord. I entrust you in the name of a monarch and a minister, but in reality I am a brother. I can make decisions for your lord, so why not?"

Zhou Yu looked at the giant ship passing by not far away and said proudly.

Zhuge Liang smiled, held his hand on the boat, looked up at Zhou Yu, and looked into the distance and said: "Everyone says that Cao Cao is a traitor to the Han Dynasty. He holds the emperor hostage to order the princes. Does the governor know the meaning of this sentence?"

Zhou Yu said disdainfully: "Cao Cao is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, but he forces the emperor and deceives the world with false edicts. He uses the name of the emperor to cut off dissidents. He has a bad reputation and is called a traitor of the Han Dynasty. Why not?"

Zhuge Liang took out a pair of hemp shoes from his baggage, stepped on his feet, and stood up.Standing face to face with Zhou Yu, he whispered: "Cao Cao wields power, covers the sky with one hand, and refers to deer as horses. Even so, he still dares not to openly disobey, and does not dare to do anything in his own name, but to rely on the will of the emperor. The chief governor is just your lord. Trust me, I ordered you to lead the troops without any suspicion. But you dare to do things that Cao Cao's thieves dare not do. Liang is very impressed!"

Zhou Yu was stunned and was about to speak, but Kong Ming had already got off the boat, boarded his own boat, paddled and rowed, and went down the river to Chaisang.
