Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 8 If you want to fight Cao Cao, take Jingzhou first! ! !
  Cao Jun and Liu Bei Jun chased and fled, and Jiangdong, far south of the Yangtze River, had also received information and knew what happened in Xinye.

So all the officials in Jiangdong were summoned to discuss the next development of Jiangdong.

In the meeting hall, the civil servants and generals of Jiangdong were lined up on both sides. The tall man with blue eyes and purple beard at the top was Sun Quan, the current lord of Jiangdong.

The man at the top left below is handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He looks like a noble man. He always has a smile on his face and a sense of confidence that he is in control. He is wearing white soft armor, which adds to his heroic look. .

The first man on the right has a good appearance and elegant temperament. He has a small beard under his chin. He is deep and restrained. He is wearing a dark blue robe and has a bun on his head.

These two people are Jiangdong's important ministers. On the left are Jiangdong Mizhoulang, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. They are also the current governors of Jiangdong and are in charge of all food.

Even when Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he still trusted Zhou Yu very much.

The man on the right is Lu Su and Lu Zijing, who is also Sun Quan's trusted confidant. However, Lu Su is too mature and steady and unwilling to take risks, which sometimes makes Sun Quan very unhappy.

Under Zhou Yu, there were many generals, such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Gan Ning, etc., and under Lu Su, there were also many civil servants and counselors, such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin, etc.

It is said that Jiangdong is a place with outstanding people and a large number of civil servants and generals.

"Everyone, what do you think about the incident in Jingzhou?"

Sun Quan spoke slowly.

Jiangdong can ignore matters in other areas, but Jingzhou is the gateway to Jiangdong. Without Jingzhou, they will only have the natural danger of the Yangtze River, so they have to pay attention to it.

Everyone knows that Cao Cao's goal is not only the land of Jingzhou, but also Jiangdong across the river. Cao Cao is also very coveted.

Zhou Yu took the lead in taking the lead and said with cupped hands: "My lord, now Cao Jun and Liu Bei Jun are fighting with each other. I think this is a good time for me to send troops to Jiangdong!"

"While they have no time to look after us, we can go straight to Jingzhou and reap the benefits!"

Sun Quan nodded slowly, but did not make a sound.

Lu Su on the other side also came out, but retorted: "My lord, I think it's inappropriate."

"It is extremely difficult for Liu Bei's army to contain Cao's army alone. Even if he wins a temporary victory, it will be difficult to withstand Cao's army's next attack. And if I, Jiangdong, enter Jingzhou, I will definitely become a thorn in Cao Cao's side!"

"Although we in Jiangdong are unparalleled in water warfare, we can hardly resist Cao Jun's cavalry on land. Once Cao Jun defeats Liu Bei, they will definitely attack us, so it would be unwise to enter Jingzhou at this time."

At this time, the veteran Zhang Zhao also stood up and said: "My lord, I also thought that we could not be like Jingzhou. There is a natural barrier on the east side of the Yangtze River. It is easy to stop Cao's army with the natural chasm. If we go to Jingzhou to compete with Cao's army, it will only be a short attack and a long attack." "

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and chuckled: "Do you think Cao Jun will be at peace after capturing Jingzhou? Jingzhou is our gateway to the east of the Yangtze River. Once captured by Cao Jun, Cao Jun can send his army south at any time. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative Attack!"

After the words fell, someone immediately stood up and echoed: "What the Governor said makes sense. Even on land, I, Jiangdong Erlang, am not afraid of anyone!"

The speaker was a man in his thirties, with feathers on his head, bells on his waist, and gorgeous clothes. He looked a bit exaggerated. He was none other than the Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xingba!
  Lu Su shook his head: "This is not the best method. Knowing that Cao Cao is eyeing the land east of the Yangtze River, we should place the decisive battle on the Yangtze River, so that we can give full play to our strengths in the east of the Yangtze River." "And , Liu Beijun can also win over and use them to join forces with them to fight against Cao Cao!"

"Lu Zijing's words are reasonable," the counselor named Gu Yong also nodded and said: "With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, even Cao's army does not need to be afraid."

"Of course, it would be best if we can avoid conflict with Cao's army and keep Jiangdong safe."

Gu Yong's words made many civil servants nod silently. Most of these people who lived and grew up in Jiangdong came from Jiangdong aristocratic families. They had no ambition to compete in the world and only wanted to guard this three-acre land in Jiangdong.

So their philosophy is that if there is no fight, there will be no fight, and it will be peaceful.

Zhang Zhao spoke again at this time and said: "I thought I could make two plans. One hand went to test Cao Cao's intentions. If he is not interested in Jiangdong, then I should ignore him. The other hand was to go and join forces as Lu Zijing said. Liu Bei."

"Humph, old fox, you are so cowardly!" Sun Quan disliked Zhang Zhao very much in his heart, because Zhang Zhao was the representative of the Jiangdong clan, and there were many clans in Jiangdong, so Sun Quan wanted to balance the major clans, otherwise they would have thought that Jiangdong was theirs. Forget it.

But he could only curse words in his heart, but he said: "Testing Cao Jun's mind? Does Cao Jun's mind still need to be tested? They are about to have their intentions written on their faces!"

Zhou Yu immediately answered: "My lord is right, Cao Jun is a tiger and wolf army with huge ambitions. It is absolutely impossible to only take the land of Jingxiang. But I think there is no need to join forces with Liu Bei. With my Jiangdong mighty navy, Cao Jun is here." Don’t be afraid either!”

"Hey, I, Gan Xingba, will definitely be able to kill Cao Jun on the water without leaving any trace behind!" Gan Ning also interjected.

Lu Su retorted: "Since everyone thinks it is necessary to counteract Cao Cao, it is better to win over allies. First, it can increase our strength in Jiangdong. Even if Liu Bei can only contain Cao Cao's army, it can also give our army a chance."

"In addition, Liu Bei's presence can also share Cao Jun's attack. Why not?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "When the overall situation is decided, Liu Bei will not be able to compete with me in Jiangdong, and it will be easy to take the land of Jingxiang by then."

"But it's too early to say this now. If Liu Bei is directly destroyed by Cao Cao, it will be an empty talk. Therefore, I think we still need to rely on my Jiangdong Navy!"

There are different opinions in the meeting hall, but now they have unified a point of view, that is, sooner or later there will be a battle with Cao Jun, and this battle will definitely be fought on the Yangtze River.

After all, Jiangdong's naval forces are unparalleled in the world, and no one can defeat them on the water.

As for Liu Bei...survive first.

Sun Quan looked around and saw how energetic they were arguing. He smiled secretly. What he wanted to see was the current situation. The generals and officials would check and balance each other, and the noble families would also check each other. In this way, the Lord of Jiangdong would have more weight.

"Okay, the Governor is right. It's too early to say all this now. Only when Liu Bei survives Cao Jun's attack will he be qualified to join forces with me in Jiangdong."

"At that time, we will join forces to fight against Cao Cao. After repelling Cao's army, we will take the land of Jingxiang. Lu Su, I will leave it to you to join forces with Liu Bei. This matter has been decided!"
