Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 37 Zhuge enters Jiangdong!
  Although he was very disgusted with the clan forces headed by Zhang Zhao and others, he also understood that Jiangdong was now supported by these people. He couldn't really do anything to them, he could only tolerate them.

I think he took over the responsibility of Jiangdong from his father and brother, and wanted to revitalize Jiangdong and reuse people like Zhou Yu and Lu Su, but why couldn't he stop Cao Jun?
  When the servants saw Sun Quan angry, they did not dare to come forward.

At this moment, someone came not far away and knelt directly on the ground.

"Lord, Lu Su sent someone to send news that Zhuge Liang of Liu Bei's army will arrive in Jianye soon."

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had heard of Zhuge Liang, known as Wolong, a man of great talent and a military advisor to Liu Beijun.

"I came back with Lu Su probably for the alliance. I wonder if this Zhuge Liang is the legendary genius who can convince those stubborn clans?"

"Now, we can only place our hope on him!"

On the road to Jiangdong, a carriage was moving forward steadily. In the carriage were Lu Su and Zhuge Liang.

They set off directly from Luojun County, crossed the Yangtze River, and came all the way without any stops on the way.

Therefore, when the capital was about to be built, a spy suddenly caught up with Lu Su and brought the news of Zhou Yu's defeat.

"Failed again? This is terrible!"

Lu Su slapped his thigh, and no matter how well-mannered he was, he couldn't help but look anxious. In his heart, he couldn't help but blame Zhou Yu for underestimating the enemy's advance.

At this critical moment for the Sun-Liu coalition, how could he still do such a thing?

When Zhuge Liang saw this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Zijing, what happened?"

Lu Su told the truth. After all, Zhuge Liang would know about this sooner or later. If he knew earlier, he would be able to prepare earlier.

They talked a lot along the way, so Lu Su also admired Zhuge Liang's talents.

"Zhuge Liang is indeed worthy of the title of Crouching Dragon and has the ability to govern the world. Unfortunately, he is now loyal to Liu Bei. How great would it be if he could come to my Jiangdong?"

That's what he thought at the time, but now he just thinks about how to appease Jiangdong's ministers.

Although he believed in Zhuge Liang, Lu Su could not help but feel worried as he was about to arrive in Jianye.

"Kong Ming, we are almost here. You must remember that there is no need to say more about Cao Cao's situation. Everyone knows this kind of thing. Bringing it up again will only increase their worries."

"Moreover, Zhou Yu used troops against Cao Cao and was defeated again, which made people in Jiangdong panic even more. If Cao Cao is mentioned again, I'm afraid the situation will add fuel to the fire."

Speaking of this, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh.

"It just so happens that at this time, those people originally wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but now they are even more determined to surrender. It is much more difficult to convince them than before."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, but still said the same thing: "I will definitely convince them."

Lu Su was helpless: "At this time, most people in Jiangdong want to surrender to Cao Cao, so they must do the opposite and talk more about the benefits that we, Sun and Liu, can get from joining forces. Only in this way can they agree."

"My lord will naturally not surrender to Cao Cao, but he is controlled by the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, so whether we can join forces depends on you, Kong Ming!"

Lu Su talked a lot, with a worried look on his face. He was loyal to Sun Quan, and naturally wanted to solve Sun Quan's problems. The problem Sun Quan now faced was how to convince the clan leaders in Jiangdong to agree to join forces with Liu Beijun.

Once they join forces, even if the Jiangdong clan disagrees, there is only one way to go against Cao Cao.

With a faint smile on his face, Zhuge Liang gently shook the white feather fan in his hand, nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, Lu Zijing, I know what I know." Of course he was 100% sure of coming to Jiangdong this time. It's confidence in yourself.

Lu Su sighed: "You don't understand Jiangdong's situation, otherwise you wouldn't be so confident."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Before I came here, I had already understood the situation in Jiangdong. I think the people who want to surrender to Cao Cao the most are Zhang Zhao and other veterans."

"They just want to protect the interests of their family and ignore Jiangdong. When Liang comes here this time, the main target is them, right?"

Lu Su's eyes lit up: "Yes, these people rely on their status and power to even ignore my lord. It's disgusting. If Kong Ming can convince them, it will be a big deal for our two families." Good thing!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, but his heart was full of disdain.

"They are just a group of weak rats. How can Jiangdong develop and grow with them here? They are just standing still!"

"Although our lord is the least powerful, he is the most popular among the people, and he is the Han orthodoxy. With my help, he will definitely be able to achieve great achievements!"

He was thinking silently in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.

Finally, the carriage slowly arrived at Jianye City. Sun Quan sent people to wait here early in the morning, and then connected them to the city.
  ……

Cao Cao, who was far away in Jiangxia City in Jingzhou, summoned his civil and military officials just after nightfall and came to the big tent to discuss matters.

Although he had perfectly dealt with Jiangdong's attack before, he had not made any progress either against Jiangdong or Liu Bei in the past few days, which made him feel a little depressed.

"Prime Minister, the spies reported that Zhuge Liang has followed Lu Su back to Jiangdong. This move indicates that the Sun and Liu families should have joined forces!"

After Cheng Yu saw the people gathered, he immediately told the news he had received.

The other advisers also nodded. They had expected this step. After all, Jiangdong Sun Quan and Liu Bei were not fools.

Cao Cao suddenly had a headache.

"You're really restless, you still have to struggle at a time like this!" He said with a cold snort.

Xun You quickly stood up and said: "Prime Minister, don't be careless. Jiangdong is very powerful, and Liu Bei escaped death several times. You can see that this man has great luck."

"The two of them joining forces may pose a threat to our army, so we must take it seriously!"

Jia Xu also stood up and said: "My lord, with Zhuge Liang's talents and Jiangdong's Zhou Yu, these two people joining forces will definitely be a serious danger to our army. We must guard against it!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and nodded: "Of course, I will not underestimate them."

Then he turned to look at Xiahou Dun and asked: "Yuan Rang, I asked you to supervise Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to train the navy. How is their training now?"

Xiahou Dun sighed, stood up and said: "Prime Minister, this matter did not happen overnight. I have already gone to see it, but most of our soldiers are from the north. Don't mention water warfare. Just standing on the boat is unsteady." "

"I think it's impossible to train a navy in just a few months."

Cao Cao sighed, his face a little solemn. The decisive battle between them and Jiangdong would definitely take place on the river, and their water battle would definitely not work with such a stretch.

Moreover, Jiang Dong and Liu Bei join forces to deal with them, and perhaps the decisive battle will not be too far away.
