The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 408 Zhuge Liang's eloquence
Ding Feng standing beside Lu Su.

After hearing what Sima De said, he clenched his fists and felt his heart churning!

Although he is a military man, he is not stupid.

In an instant, I understood the pros and cons.

If Zhuge Liang had not asked Liu Bei to let Sima De go.

It would be impossible for Cao Cao to capture Xiangfan so quickly!

And if Zhuge Liang had not persuaded Liu Bei to go south to Changsha.

Nor would it provoke them from Jiangdong to send troops to fight for Jiangxia!

This led to the subsequent defeat of Governor Zhou and the loss of so many Jiangdong men in vain.

If they, Jiangdong, had not been dragged into the quagmire of Jingzhou.

Later, there would not be such a great hatred between them and Cao’s army.

It would not have caused the previous defeat at Ruxu Crossing.

If he could stabilize and manage the six counties in Jiangdong and put down the rebellion of Shanyue in the back.

Once there is turmoil in the north, Jiangdong may take advantage of the situation to rise.

It would not be impossible to unify the Central Plains, but the development of things went off track.

And all this is all thanks to Zhuge Liang!
It turns out that this Sleeping Dragon Zhuge had planned it all along!

Why did the two families join forces to fight against Cao Cao?
They are simply using Cao thief to contain Jiangdong!
His plan is hateful! His heart is worthy of death!
Ding Feng gritted his teeth secretly at this time, with hatred filling his heart!
This person has ulterior motives and should be eliminated as soon as possible!
At this moment, his gaze turned to Zhuge Liang's back, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

A backstab from an ally is more unacceptable than an attack from an enemy!
What's more, this ally has been plotting against him from the very beginning.

At this moment, Ding Feng had already made up his mind.

I swear to report what I see and hear today to my lord Sun Quan.

To expose the ugly faces of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the emperor and his minister!
And Sima De's seemingly casual words.

In fact, it is like a fine needle and dense thread, piercing the human heart accurately.

When he caught the subtle changes in the expression of the young general behind Lu Su.

The corners of his mouth also curled up into a barely perceptible smile.

Like a hunter looking at his prey caught in a trap.

However, Zhuge Liang was no pushover. He followed Sima De's gaze.

Seeing Ding Feng's expression and the subtle curve of Sima De's mouth, he immediately understood.

At this moment, he sighed softly, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

In addition to admiring Sima De's eloquence and witty words.

It's more about the helplessness of the current situation.

"Military Advisor Sima's words are sharp and his use of double entendres is truly a master."

"But the truth in it is so funny to think about it!"

"Since you know that my lord was defeated and fled to Changsha, how dare you say that he drove a tiger to devour a wolf?"

"Jiangxia is a place that must be fought over by military strategists."

"Jiangdong has been making progress for many years but has not been able to make progress. Everyone knows this!"

"Even if my lord did not go south to Changsha at that time, how could the Marquis of Wu not be interested in Jiangxia?"

"Even if Jiangdong is not taken, can we still allow Cao Cao to occupy Jingzhou?"

"Cao Cao was so powerful that he bullied the emperor and attempted to cross the Yangtze River and take over the world."

"Now that the Sun and Liu families have joined forces, it is indeed the general trend!"

"Now that Jiangdong is in danger, I have no choice but to send Liangti's troops to help!"

"This is enough to show how important the alliance between the two parties is!"

Having said that, Zhuge Liang also looked at Lu Su with burning eyes.

And Lu Su heard such righteous words.

He suddenly realized it and bowed in response with a serious face.

This shows the sincerity of the cooperation between the two families, as if there is no longer the suspicion as before.

Even Ding Feng, who was standing behind him, looked embarrassed at this moment.

Zhuge Liang's generous and righteous remarks were based on facts.

Instead, it means that they in Jiangdong are judging others by their own standards!

And at this moment, Zhuge Liang saw that the situation was stabilized.

He also turned to Sima De and said calmly:

"Military Advisor Sima is now serving Cao Cao."

“You should know how to forgive others when you can.”

"Since Jiangdong has now been defeated by your army."

"You should persuade them to stop fighting and make peace, and turn hostility into friendship."

"Instead of deploying troops on both sides of the strait as we are doing now, being so aggressive is really not beautiful!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang even said with emotion:

"It was not Liang's intention that my lord said goodbye to Sima, the military advisor." "It was because my lord was concerned about the situation in Jingzhou and had no choice but to do so."

"Now Military Advisor Sima has become famous."

"I don't even think about the friendship of my old master, and I can't repay the kindness of my master in the past."

"Do you want to see the two sides fighting again, with blood staining both sides of the river?"

"Could it be that Military Advisor Sima is intentionally ungrateful and is killing his former master on the road?"

"Or deep down in your heart, do you actually want to force your former master into despair?"

At this time, every word Zhuge Liang spoke was like a pearl, and every sentence was as sharp as an arrow.

Use Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield.

The counterattack was swift and the attack was fierce.

The words are like a flash of sharp sword, penetrating directly into the depths of people's hearts, which is amazing.

In this battle of wits without the smoke of gunpowder.

Every sentence is a test of wisdom and courage.

Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly the best player in this game of sophistry.

In this era dominated by moral principles.

A world where the order of respect is Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers.

If Sima De dared to acknowledge Zhuge Liang in person.

I am afraid that in a blink of an eye, it will attract criticism from scholars all over the world.

True, he might be able to take advantage of Liu Bei's cold-heartedness.

He used the story of hiring a killer for a huge sum of money as his defense.

However, this time and that time.

At this point it is no longer important to argue whether Liu Bei is moral enough.

Because, in this era that advocates loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Any argument that ignores loyalty and righteousness is untenable.

After all, he had once been an adviser to Liu Bei, and after all, he had once served Liu Bei as his lord.

Even if he could argue with Zhuge Liang on this matter, it would still seem pale and powerless.

Instead, it exposes one's own lack of magnanimity.

Furthermore, given the situation today, would he only have one move prepared?
So there is a psychological questioning about Zhuge Liang's occupation of the moral high ground.

Sima De just smiled.

"Haha, Brother Kong Ming is right."

"Before this, I still had some doubts about your debate with the scholars in Jiangdong."

"It seems today... that you are a man of great eloquence and good debate."

"Even the strategists who traveled around the countries during the Spring and Autumn Period."

"I'm afraid his eloquence is not even one-third as good as Brother Kong Ming's."

Sima De said this as he glanced at Lu Su standing beside him.

Seeing his eyes flashing with complex emotions at this moment.

He also deliberately showed a hint of "apology" and said:

"Mr. Zijing, when Bofu asked for grain, you generously donated money."

"A few grains in a warehouse are worth a thousand gold."

"How can such a person be measured by ordinary people?"

"You two noble men, I sincerely admire you."

"What I just said was a slip of the tongue. I hope you will forgive me."

After saying this, Sima De also bowed to the two of them.

He seemed humble and polite, and his words were sincere.

These words made Lu Su even more respectful of Sima De.

As a wise man of this era, Lu Su knew very well that he had not made any mistake in speaking.

It was clearly a deliberate move to alienate him from Zhuge Liang.

But, whether it was Lu Su or Zhou Yu before him.

Zhuge Liang's previous calculations against Liu Bei.

Although they knew everything, they tacitly chose to remain silent.

Because they understand that once the political balance is disrupted.

It will only allow Cao Cao, who has fled far to the north, to reap the benefits.

The Sun and Liu families will be in a dilemma of having no rice to cook.

At this time, facing Sima De's provocation, Lu Su remained calm.
