Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 82: War of Confucianism (Part )

Lu Su has notified Zhuge Liang, and in the Wuhou Palace, all the major clans have gathered here.

Even if Sun Quan doesn't invite them, they will come. As long as Sun Quan doesn't agree to remove Liu Bei and offer it to Cao Cao, they will come every day.

But this time, they didn't expect that Sun Quan would call an outsider.

In the meeting hall, Sun Quan did not show up, but the representatives of the major clans were sitting behind the tables on both sides, whispering and discussing, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.

At this moment, Lu Su suddenly entered the meeting hall and saw Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and more than 20 Jiangdong celebrities sitting behind the table.

Zhang Zhao and others also knew that Lu Su was Sun Quan's confidant. He was loyal to Sun Quan and opposed them at every turn. Therefore, as soon as Lu Su entered the room, the meeting hall suddenly became quiet.

But then, Zhuge Liang also walked in, which surprised everyone present.

After all, they all came to persuade Sun Quan to kill Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's military advisor, so why did he come here?
  Zhuge Liang walked in slowly with a smile on his face. When he saw everyone, he also bowed his hands.

"I'm so polite!"

He cupped his hands to the left and right, neither humble nor overbearing.

"you are welcome."

Although they wanted to kill Liu Bei, they still had to show off and returned the favor one after another.

When Zhang Zhao saw that it was Lu Su who brought Zhuge Liang, but Sun Quan didn't show up for a long time, he already guessed the purpose of Zhuge Liang's visit, and he suddenly sneered in his heart.

"Haha, do you want Zhuge Liang to convince us?"

Then he stood up and said, "When Kong Ming came to Wuhou Palace today, he must have gone to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, right?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Of course, I'm here for the affairs of the Sun-Liu Alliance."

"Haha, it's just a joke." Zhang Zhao suddenly laughed contemptuously, "Don't Kong Ming know that the bamboo slips are now floating on the river? As mentioned above, your master Liu Bei will only bring disaster. Alliance with me in Jiangdong, Do you want to harm me, Jiangdong?"

Zhuge Liang knew that Zhang Zhaonai was Sun Quan's number one adviser. If he didn't stump him first, he would be even less able to convince others.

He smiled slightly and said calmly: "Harming Jiangdong? What a joke. Is Jiangdong so intolerable? Can't you see that the bamboo slips are all slander against my lord, Uncle Liu Huang?"

"But the more Cao Cao is like this, it means that he is more afraid of my lord and wants to use Jiangdong's help to get rid of his serious trouble. Could it be that such a simple strategy can't be seen through by sir?"

Although his tone was light, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly. Of course he knew that this was Cao Cao's strategy, but they just found a reason to surrender to Cao Cao.

To say he couldn't see through it wouldn't be to say he was stupid?
  "Hmph," Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and was no longer so polite, "I heard that Mr. Kong Ming, who lives in Longzhong, compares himself to Guan Zhong Leyi, but I don't know that Guan Zhong Leyi is a talented person who helps the world."

"Everyone said that Mr. Liu Beide is like a tiger with two wings. But before that, Uncle Liu could still rule the city and dominate the world. But since Mr. Liu Bei followed Liu Bei, Cao's army abandoned their armor and fled as soon as they came. On the contrary, it was not as good as before. There wasn’t even a place to stay.”

"Is this what Guan Zhongleyi is like?"

He looked sideways at Zhuge Liang, his eyes full of contempt. When the words fell, the entire meeting hall was filled with low voices of ridicule. It was obvious that these words had reached their hearts.

"Haha, Zhuge Liang is here to humiliate himself, let's see how he defends himself!" Someone laughed in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang turned a deaf ear to these ridicules. Before he came here, he had already expected that in this meeting hall, someone would definitely talk about the past.

And these things are true.

He smiled slightly and said slowly: "How can sparrows know the ambitions of swans? My lord Liu Bei used to send people to guard Xinye, with only a few thousand people. Xinye City is also located in a remote place, with scarce land and little food. How can it be possible to stay there for a long time?" "

"Besides, even under such circumstances, our lord can still burn Bowangpo, flood Cao's army, and defeat Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren's tens of thousands of troops. Even Guan Zhong Leyi can only use his troops like this."

"Outnumbered, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Although my lord Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao several times, he never thought of surrendering. Instead, he always fought. Isn't this much better than those villains who boast and talk eloquently?"

Zhang Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly. Aren't the villains he was talking about just these people?

But he opened his mouth, but couldn't refute anything. He could only sit down angrily, feeling depressed.

But Zhang Zhao sat down, and there were more than twenty people present who were waiting to attack Zhuge Liang. How could they tolerate Zhuge Liang boasting in front of them and overpowering them?

Yu Fan, a famous scholar from Jiangdong, stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuge, I heard that your master Liu Bei secretly colluded with Wei Yan and killed Wei Yan's master Han Xuan. Is this true?"

"Liu Bei claims to be benevolent and righteous, but he does such unfaithful and unjust things. How do you explain it?"

Zhuge Liang's expression also changed slightly. When he first learned that there was a rebellion in Changsha and drove Liu Bei out, he knew that colluding with Wei Yan might have been a mistake.

But how could he admit defeat at this time?

"Don't you know that Han Xuan is cruel and unkind, loves killing, and is a disloyal and unjust villain. Our Lord Liu Bei and General Wei Yan rebelled in order to uphold justice for heaven and help the Han Dynasty!"

"It's a pity that Cao Cao made a fuss about this and confused the defenders in Changsha City, which led to the loss of Changsha. But before that, even if my lord wanted to escape from Xinye, hundreds of thousands of people in Xinye rushed to follow, but my lord couldn't bear it. Abandoning the people and traveling ten miles a day, have you ever seen such a benevolent and righteous king?"

"To say that our Lord presumptuously claims benevolence and righteousness is simply nonsense. He cannot distinguish between right and wrong!"

Yu Fan was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhuge Liang: "You...you are arrogant!"

"Haha," Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, "My lord did not mention so many benevolent and righteous things, but he still mentioned the matter in Changsha. Is it because I am arrogant or because I am old and blind?"

Yu Fan's face turned red with anger, and he sat back on his seat, lowered his head and kept sighing.

The two celebrities were so angry with Zhuge Liang that they could not argue. Everyone else understood that Zhuge Liang was coming today with bad intentions, and they all put away their previous playful demeanor.

If so many of them were defeated by Zhuge Liang alone, it would be a joke if word spread.

At this time, behind the screen in the hall, Sun Quan was here, but he never went out. He almost laughed out loud when he heard Zhuge Liang refute the words of Jiangdong celebrities.
