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

Chapter 411: Impeccable Conspiracy

Sima De smiled and gestured again towards the vast land, Jingzhou.

"The land of Jingchu is adjacent to Jiangdong, with smooth water veins and connected to the Yangtze and Han rivers in the north."

"It is surrounded by high mountains and steep cliffs, and is as solid as a rock."

"Plus, the land is fertile and the people are prosperous. It is truly a land gifted by heaven!"

"If the Marquis of Wu can bring it into his territory."

"We can control the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, aim at the Central Plains if we advance, and defend Jiangdong if we retreat."

"This is the beginning of the emperor's foundation!"

Everyone listened to Sima De's gradually rising voice, as if a magnificent painting was slowly unfolding.

The essence of "Strategy on the Couch" is like a rushing river, endless.

"When Liu Biao died, his two sons never got along well."

"The generals in Jingzhou have different intentions and their camps are divided."

"There is also Liu Bei, a great hero of the world, who has been fighting against Cao Gong for a long time."

"He temporarily took up residence under Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was afraid of his talent and failed to make good use of him."

"If Liu Bei can work together with the rest of Liu Biao's army, they can follow the example of their superiors and face the enemy with unity."

"Then the Marquis of Wu should appease him and form a close alliance with him."

“But if you see that they are in disharmony, you need to find another good strategy to achieve great things.”

"But time is running out. If we delay a step, Cao Cao will seize the opportunity."

After he finished speaking, his eyes moved.

Sometimes his gaze would linger on Zhuge Liang's face as he was deep in thought and silent.

Sometimes I could catch the astonishment and deep thought on Lu Su's face.

That subtle change in emotion seemed to stir up ripples in his heart.

This was in line with the quiet plan he had previously conspired with Sun Quan to achieve his grand ambitions.

Having said this, Sima De's smile became even more intense.

It’s like appreciating the excitement of a chess game.

"Both gentlemen are wise men of our time."

"What do you think is the final destination of Jingzhou?"

"Will it be the fuse that breaks up the Sun-Liu alliance?"

"Can Liu Bei and the Marquis of Wu put aside their regional disputes and work together to build the Han Dynasty?"

His question was like a sharp dagger, piercing directly into the most sensitive nerve.

The two people present, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, were both lost in thought.

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the reeds on both sides of the river.

And the faint sound of soldiers training in the distance.

It seems to indicate that the Sun and Liu families will never be able to resolve this issue peacefully.

The lessons of history tell the world.

Jingzhou is the throat of the country, whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Quan.

They all regard it as something that must be fought for.

But how to prevent allies from becoming opponents is an unsolvable problem facing both sides.

When asked about the ownership of Jingzhou, Sima De's relaxed attitude concealed a sharp edge.

He waited calmly for the answer from Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, but he disagreed in his heart.

In his opinion, the subtlety of "Longzhong Strategy" and the profundity of "The Strategy on the Couch" are both remarkable.

The cruel reality that none of them could cover up the land of Jingzhou was the foundation for Sun and Liu's hegemony.

Throughout history, struggles over ideas and interests have often been bloody.

Isn’t Lu Meng’s surprise attack and Guan Yu’s defeat in history a profound interpretation of this contradiction?
At this time, the boat was rippling slightly and the scene was silent for a while.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su both remained silent, their hearts pounding.

He was shocked by the leak of his plan, but also had complicated emotions facing Sima De's sharp questioning.

Jingzhou, this place name seems to carry a heavy burden.

Even though both of them advocated alliance, they were both burdened with the ambitions of their respective masters.

How long can the Sun-Liu alliance last under such irreconcilable contradictions?

Sima De's words revealed his profound understanding of the situation.

This made the two people present feel even more solemn.

Faced with Sima De's straightforward analysis, Lu Su tried to remain calm.

However, his previous emphasis on the loyalty of the Eastern Wu was no longer as firm as before.
"Haha." Zhuge Liang was the first to break the silence.

There was a hint of helplessness and determination in his voice.

"Military Advisor Sima's ability to win hearts and minds is beyond Liang's reach."

"However, such a method of alienating people is too superficial!" "Liang might as well speak frankly, as long as Zijing and I are still alive."

"The Sun-Liu alliance is indestructible."

"People like Cao Cao will never succeed in usurping the Han Dynasty!"

After saying this, he looked straight at Sima De with a sharp gaze.

Sima De sneered when he heard this.

Turning to look at Deng Ai behind him, Zhuge Dan said:

"Soldiers, rest, ferry back to camp!"

As he spoke, he also bowed to Zhuge Liang and Lu Su and said:
"That's all I have to say, you two. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boat under his feet moved with the current.

Quickly distance themselves from the boat where Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were.

Looking at the enemy ships going farther and farther away, Zhuge Liang sighed secretly.

In this contest, he felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Although Sima De's strategy is obvious, it is an open conspiracy that is difficult to deal with!

The other party not only pointed out the biggest secret in the hearts of both Sun and Liu.

It also made him and Lu Su tacitly understand the strategic layout of their respective masters.

At this moment, Sima De's voice came from afar again.

"Brother Kong Ming, what you said is true!"

"With you and Lu Su here, the Sun-Liu alliance will be as solid as a rock."

"This is because both of you are talented people of our time, and your vision is far beyond that of ordinary people."

"But, if one day..."

"You two died young due to illness. Your successors will take over."

"Can we still defend the alliance between the two families like you did?"

"Hahaha! There are many people in the world who think they are smart."

"How many truly wise men are there like Kong Ming and Zi Jing?"

After saying this, Sima De laughed loudly on the vast river.

The laughter was wild and unbridled, carrying a hint of provocation and disdain.

Among them, the contempt for the Sun-Liu alliance is beyond words!
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his heart suddenly tightened!
He turned his gaze towards Lu Su, only to see that his face looked solemn.

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in my heart!

He couldn't help but call out subconsciously: "Zijing?!"

"Zi Jing, don't fall for their scheme to sow discord!"

Hearing this, Lu Su also forced a smile and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Kong Ming. Su will naturally know the pros and cons."

"Even if one day in the future, Su's death will not be long."

"I will also strongly recommend a wise person to take over as the Grand Commander to maintain the harmony between the Sun and Liu families."

These words immediately made Zhuge Liang feel heavy in his heart.

After all, Lu Su was getting older and there were rumors that he had a hidden illness.

What is even more worrying is that once Lu Su, the mediator, abdicates.

No one may be able to stop Sun Quan's covetousness for Jingzhou.

And whether this afternoon will elect a governor with a radical style.

Pushing the alliance to the brink of collapse?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a sense of regret.

He shouldn't have set foot here today.

In this way, he would not meet Sima De.

There is no need to worry about the troubles in front of you.

"Oh!" He sighed softly, his eyes sweeping across Liao Hua behind him.

He said calmly: "Yuan Jian, let's go back to the camp."

A sigh cannot hide the ripples in my heart.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ponder, after him and Lu Su.

What kind of wise man can see through the pros and cons and maintain the alliance between Sun and Liu?

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Whether he was willing or not, he was disturbed by Sima De's words, and his mood fluctuated accordingly.

In the past, these problems would never have troubled him.
