Chapter 125 Sima De bullied me Jiangdong too much!
But at this time, Liu Bei was working under Jian Yong.

But he asked with a worried look:

"But my lord, Zhou Yu just fought with our army."

"Being defeated by our military power at the foot of Changsha City!"

"The two families are at war with each other and have become enemies."

"Now that we propose an alliance, will Jiangdong agree?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was also stunned!
Then he turned to look at military advisor Zhuge Liang.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Liang replied without hesitation:

"Now that Cao Cao is powerful, Jiangdong is also very afraid."

"Sun Quan is young and successful, and he will not be willing to live under Cao Cao."

"There are sensible people in Jiangdong, who must know how powerful it is."

"The news of the battle in the city a few days ago was reported back to Jiangdong."

"Sun Quan should know that my lord is a hero in this world."

"We will definitely assess the situation and be willing to use our army as backup."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei nodded repeatedly and said:

"The military advisor is right."

"Presumably people from Jiangdong also know the truth of dying lips and cold teeth."

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this and no longer objected.

When Zhang Fei and Guan Yu heard this, they also knew that their eldest brother was thinking about the overall situation.

He said nothing more.

Zhuge Liang also spoke out at this time:

"Lord, this matter requires an interview with Sun Quan and Chen Mingshuo."

“Only in this way can things be accomplished.”

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

"That's very good. I'll write a letter now."

"Send Sun Qian to Jiangdong to lobby."

"When we form an alliance with the Sun family, we will definitely take over Jingnan!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he shook his head.

"Now that Zhou Yu has just withdrawn his troops, this matter needs to be treated with caution."

"Master Sun has no friendly acquaintance with Jiangdong, so I might not be able to meet Sun Quan."

"But this matter should not be delayed!"

"So Liang wants to go to Jiangdong in person to persuade Sun Quan for my lord!"

"To accomplish the Lord's great mission!"

When Liu Bei heard that his military advisor was going to risk his life personally.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, and was about to refuse.

But Zhuge Liang looked solemn and spoke sincerely.

In the end, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and nodded, agreeing to Zhuge Liang's request.

Just because what Zhuge Liang said makes sense.

Although Jiangdong Sun Quan was not on good terms with him Liu Bei.

But Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin went to Jingzhou to serve as an official.

If Zhuge Liang goes there, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

And if we can get the help of Jiangdong, it will not be difficult to take the land in Jingnan!
Then Liu Bei cupped his hands and said:

"The military advisor must be extremely careful when heading to Jiangdong this time to avoid getting hurt."

Zhuge Liang accepted the promise and said:

"Please rest assured, my lord! Liang will fulfill his mission."

Just when Zhuge Liang was ordered to go to Jiangdong, he was preparing to discuss an alliance with Sun Quan.

On the other side, in the meeting hall of Jiangdong Wu County.

Sun Quan also received information from Xu Du at this time.

"Continuing the holy art and creating peace for all ages?"

The Lord of Jiangdong was mumbling words that were circulated in Yuedan Commentary.

Then he couldn’t help but sigh:

"Sima De is truly an extraordinary person."

"Cao Mengde can win people!"

At this time, all the counselors and ministers under Sun Quan were present.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn at this time.

Many counselors and civil servants were twisting their beards and thinking about something.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Sun Quan, on the other hand, was dressed in brocade and splendid clothes, but his expression was stern.

He glanced around, tossed the letter in his hand, and slowly sat down in the main seat.

When Lu Su saw this, he also raised his hands and said:

"Lord, as I see it."

"Xu Shao's evaluation of the world's prodigies is an exaggeration." "It's okay if I, Jiangdong Erzhang, are not included in them."

"Even Zhou Gongjin can only be ranked third?"

"It can be seen from this that this review is nothing more than the boasting of northern scholars."

"You intend to step on my talented Jiangdong talent, so you can't trust him!"

Zhang Zhao, who ranked first among the civil servants in Jiangdong, raised his eyebrows when he heard this!
But I heard Sun Quan on the throne continue to say:

"But this Sima De is really scheming."

"Not only on Yue Dianping, but also took the opportunity to kill several of my Jiangdong spies."

"They also detained Mr. Qiao in the name of epidemic prevention."

"Mr. Qiao is the elder in-law of my Sun family!"

"This is too much to bully me, Jiangdong!"

"I intend to send troops to Shouchun to return Cao Cao's favor!"

"To boost my prestige in Jiangdong!"

When Lu Su and others heard this, their expressions changed!
Zhang Zhao quickly stood up and said:
"Lord! I'm afraid it's inappropriate for our army to send troops to Shouchun at this time!"

They all know what Shouchun represents to Jiangdong.

Shouchun is the most important town in Huainan, and it is Xuchang's barrier to Jiangdong.

If Sun Quan sends troops to attack Shouchun.

Then it is bound to turn against Cao Cao and lead to revenge from Cao Jun!
When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, and Jiangdong will be severely damaged!

Previously, Zhou Yu's army was defeated in Jingzhou.

If we turn around and attack Shouchun at this time, we will definitely not gain much advantage.

When Sun Quan heard this, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Zhou Yu previously sent troops to Xiakou but failed.

The southern attack on Changsha failed even more.

The army at the front was defeated, and Sun Quan, as the lord, was in disgrace.

Now I am also holding back a lot of anger.

I just feel that I was really fooled by lard before and fell into Cao Cao’s trick!

Now I don't take advantage of Liu Bei.

But he planned to regain some face from Cao Cao.

At this time, facing Zhang Zhao's advice, he also said in a cold tone:
"But if you let him do this."

"Don't I, Jiangdong, make everyone in the world laugh at me?"

"In the eyes of others, don't you just become fish on the chopping board?"

As soon as the words fell, many civil servants couldn't help but take a breath!
They didn't expect that their lord would be so tough this time?

I hope my lord just said it out of anger.

Lu Su also stood up and advised:

"My lord, if we send troops to Shouchun at this time, it will be difficult to achieve success."

"By then, our army may not be able to escape intact."

"The trend of one thing waning and the other rising is extremely detrimental to our Jiangdong."

After hearing this, Sun Quan, who was in charge, also fell silent.

How could he not know that he was sending troops to Shouchun now?

There will inevitably be a big war with Cao Cao.

But if he doesn't send troops, he won't be able to swallow this breath.

Upon seeing this, Lu Su continued:

"Lord! It's really not appropriate to send troops right now."

"Now the plague is raging in Jiangnan, and the army is unstable."

"Our army recently purchased a batch of medicinal materials from Jingzhou."

“I didn’t expect that the medicine was not right, but I missed the opportunity for cure.”

"Nowadays, there are many complaints among the frontline troops, and people's hearts are floating."

"If we send troops to Shouchun at this time, I'm afraid the soldiers will mutiny!"

As soon as Lu Su said these words, many other counselors and officials were stunned.

They had heard about this.

But hearing it from Lu Su himself was even more shocking!

The Jiangdong Navy was the foundation of Sun Quan.

Once the navy loses its combat effectiveness, the Jiangdong army will definitely be greatly reduced in strength.

Even if Cao's army takes advantage of the situation, Chaisang will fall!
That would definitely be a huge blow to Jiangdong's forces!

In other words, if the defeated troops return to Wu County by then.

Then the plague spread to the hinterland of Jiangdong.

That would be an absolute disaster for people like them!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao and others also started to dissuade him.

"Lord! You must not send out troops at this time!"

"My lord, please think again!"
