Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 229

"But my brother Zhuge's deep meaning is far-reaching and hard to fathom, so don't waste your time lightly. I'll keep it in mind next time."

Chapter 227

Ma Su was unhappy. He originally thought that he had made a big deal this time and would be praised by Liu Bei, Kong Ming and his brother. However, he never expected that the opposite happened and he was blamed.

Although Lord Liu Bei did not speak, he seemed unfriendly from the first moment he saw him.

"Ma Su has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave for now."

Ma Su forced himself to look relaxed, said goodbye to everyone, and left the Military Advisor's Mansion and returned to the Ma Mansion.

Ma Liang pointed at Ma Su's back and said angrily, "Kong Ming, you always protect him like this. Sooner or later, you will ruin Zhuge Liang's plan!"

Kong Ming smiled and patted Ma Liang on the shoulder with his feather fan: "Youchang is still young after all, and it is inevitable that he is young and hot-tempered. If you teach him carefully in the future, I believe he will improve."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I think this boy is exaggerating. He may not be as talented as you say. When Zhuge was here, he was always distant with him and did not use him much. He also declined his self-recommendation several times."

"On the contrary, you, Kong Ming, think highly of him. You must be cautious in the future and don't miss the important things."

Kong Ming bowed and agreed.

Sun Qian recalled the initial conversation with Ma Liang and said with a wry smile: "If 'Feng Chu' also has the arrogance of You Chang, it would not be a good thing..."

When Zhuge Liang heard Pang Tong mentioned, he thought of the past and turned to Sun Qian and asked, "When my brother left, he left a letter for you to send to the army in Hefei and give it to Lu Su. I wonder how it went?"

Sun Qian laughed and said, "When have I ever missed something that Zhuge Military Advisor had told me to do?"

"When you set out to trap Cao Ren in the middle of the river, I had already sent a capable man with a letter to the army in Hefei."

"I think it must have been delivered to Lu Su by now, but I don't know whether Lu Su can pass it to Pang Tong or whether Pang Tong can listen to the contents of the letter."

Ma Liang was stunned and asked in confusion: "What letter? What's in the letter?"

Sun Qian smiled slightly and said nothing.

Kong Ming looked at Sun Qian and was also very surprised.

It was not until today that he realized that Sun Qian's talents and insights were far beyond his expectations. At times, he even had the same ideas as his brother Zhuge Wende and they had a tacit understanding.

No wonder Sun Qian, who was originally unknown and was just a messenger for Liu Bei to run errands and deliver letters before Zhuge Wende moved into Xinye, was so highly valued by his brother!

He couldn't help but think of Ma Su who had just left.

"My brother's ability to judge people is incredible. Why does he dislike Ma Su?"

"If even someone like Sun Qian can be entrusted with an important task, shouldn't a young talent like Ma Su be given more opportunities to gain experience and improve himself?"

"Am I wrong, or is my brother wrong?"

He thought about it in his mind but didn't mention it.

……

Hefei, in front of the army.

Sun Quan was fully armed and in high spirits, sitting on his warhorse with a sword hanging from his waist, watching the 100,000 Wu soldiers entering Hefei one after another.

At this moment, he was full of energy and confidence!

"I never thought that Zi Jing was not only good at governing a country with his literary talent, but also a great strategist and military advisor, and a genius who could maintain peace in the country!"

"Defeating Cao Cao's 300,000 Hefei garrison with only 100,000 soldiers and horses, while the casualties were minimal, this is such a great feat, even if Zhou Lang was here, he might not be able to do it!"

Sun Quan stood on the top of the city wall on his horse, looking at the soldiers and horses that continued to flow into the city, and spoke to Taishi Ci and Cheng Pu beside him with emotion.

"A brilliant plan comes first, and the use of troops is like a god!"

"Zi Jing became famous after this battle. He deserves the title of 'military advisor'!"

Cheng Pu praised, holding the iron spear in one hand and twirling his gray beard with the other.

He had the longest seniority and had followed Sun Jian since he started the uprising. When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo and fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, he was already a famous general who had fought many battles.

In terms of martial arts, he may not be ranked top, but in terms of knowledge and experience, few people in Jiangdong can compare to him.

If Lu Su had not insisted on the battle of Hefei, and Sun Quan had not agreed, and Zhou Yu had not agreed, he would not have had the courage to fight against 300,000 troops in Hefei with only 100,000 troops. But today's results show that Lu Su's decision was correct.

"If the Grand Admiral knew that the Eastern Front had achieved such a brilliant victory, he would definitely be pleased!"

"Zi Jing is so great!"

Taishi Ci stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the war in the distance that had not yet completely extinguished. Thinking of Sun Ce, the general he had once followed to fight against rebellion, he felt filled with indescribable emotion.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

Cheng Pu turned his head and looked at Sun Quan and asked.

"Next?"

Sun Quan's big face turned red under the reflection of the war, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"Seize the opportunity to pursue victory and expand the results!"

He looked toward the northwest.

There is Xuchang!

The imperial capital, the heartland of the Central Plains.

"Where is the military advisor? What does Military Advisor Zijing think?"

Taishi Ci did not seem to be reckless. He lowered his head and looked at the troops that kept coming from afar. It seemed that there was no carriage of military advisor Lu Su.

"The military advisor will stay behind. He has already ordered that he will arrive after all the troops have entered the city."

Cheng Pu also looked towards the Central Plains and laughed, stroking his beard.

That was where his dream began, but unfortunately, since he followed Sun Jian across the river, he had never set foot on that land again.

……

Outside the city of Hefei, in the Wu army’s military advisor’s tent.

Lu Su sat at the desk, holding a letter in his hand that he had read dozens of times and the paper was already wrinkled. His brows were furrowed, and he was hesitant.

Outside, the sounds of war horses neighing and weapons and armor colliding and rubbing could be heard from time to time. Those were the sounds of troops being mobilized and heading to Hefei.

Lu Su stood up, walked slowly to the tent door, stretched out two fingers to open a tiny gap, and looked out.

One hundred thousand Wu soldiers are in high spirits and full of fighting spirit!

"Ugh……"

Lu Su frowned and shook his head, put down the curtain, returned to the table, and picked up the letter again...

"Hahaha!"

"Zijing! How is it?"

"Is this battle considered a beautiful one?"

Following a burst of rough laughter, a burly figure emerged from behind the big tent.

"There are people shouting and horses neighing outside. I guess a large group of troops have already entered Hefei. Why doesn't Zi Jing have the slightest smile on his face? Instead, he looks worried."

Pang Tong stood in front of Lu Su, with a smile in his eyes, but his eyes never left Lu Su's face and facial features.

"Mr. Fengchu, in your opinion, what should our army do next?"

While looking up at Pang Tong, Lu Su skillfully folded the letter that had been folded who knows how many times and held it in his hand.

"Haha! Zijing, your question is so stupid!"

Pang Tong sat opposite Lu Su with a look of disdain and sneer on his face.

"Cao Cao's troops are all concentrated in Wancheng. They have been pinned down by Liu Bei's troops in Jingzhou and cannot come back to help in a short time."

"Now that Hefei has been captured, we should naturally pursue the victory and march straight to Xuchang!"
