Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 499 A Letter

Sha Moke and Wei Yan are allied by blood and become brothers.Wei Yan left a hundred men to garrison, and returned to Wuling to report to Liu Bei.Liu Bei was overjoyed and praised Wei Yan a few words, and entrusted Wei Yan with dealing with Sha Moke, believing that Wei Yan was worthy of great courage.

Wei Yan secretly handed over the promised weapon to Sha Moke, who was overjoyed, and the two discussed opening a market and trading with each other.

When Zhuge Jin went to Wuling, he had no idea of ​​convincing Liu Bei. He knew his younger brother too well, and there was no reason he couldn't find out. I am afraid that there are not many eloquent people in the world who can compare with Zhuge Liang. It is said that Xuzhou has a new propaganda envoy called Jiang Gan, who is famous for his boldness, rebellion, logical logic, and good use of story comparisons.Zhuge Jin didn't know that Zhou Cang taught Jiang Gan a small stove. The so-called small stove is an idiom story. This is a compulsory course for Zhou Cang since he was five years old.Idioms are the crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese culture and wisdom... "Report, Jiangdong Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to visit and has arrived outside Wuling City."

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "I'm here for Jingzhou and Liu Qi, my lord just speaks the truth, there is no need to accommodate me just because he is my elder brother."

"Hehe, from the perspective of the military adviser, it's not good to make Brother Ling too ugly."

The two were chatting, Zhugejin had been welcomed into the lobby by Jian Yong, Zhugejin bowed and said, "I have met Liu Shijun."

"Mr. Ziyu is not an outsider, so don't be too polite. Please sit down!"

"Liu Shijun, when Cao Cao went south, he made his way poor in Jiangdong. In the battle of Chibi, our Jiangdong soldiers used their lives and ran out of money and food. Why didn't you discuss with my lord when Cao Ren attacked the four counties while our army was fighting Make Liu Qi the Lord of Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang, smiled and said: "The grass thief went south, not for me, and you Jiangdong will not be spared. It is beneficial for both parties to form an alliance to control Cao Cao. How can you protect me? Ziyu's words are a bit exaggerated As for the defeat of Cao Cao, we also contributed a lot, and my nephew Liu Pan was able to realize Zhou Dudu's plan after the fire prevention. Why did he ignore this achievement?" Liu Bei bit my nephew Liu Pan very hard.

"Although Liu Biao is dead, his son is still alive, and the son inherits his father's business. Do we need to seek other people's consent? Sun Zhongmou is the lord of Jiangdong, and he doesn't see anyone discussing it."

Zhuge Jin chuckled, thinking to himself, you and Kong Ming must have discussed it a long time ago, as if they valued Liu Qi a lot. "If Mr. Liu Qi is the lord of Jingzhou, he should go to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation."

Zhuge Liang immediately interjected: "Marquis Wu is so kind, I thank you on behalf of your son. I don't know when General Cheng Pu will leave, and when will he hand over the defense to me?"

"Kong Ming's words are wrong. Why did General Cheng leave Xiangyang?"

"Brother, Duke Xuande is the current emperor's uncle and the younger brother of Liu Jingsheng. It is only natural for him to serve as his uncle and nephew. Since Lord Wu invited the son to Xiangyang, the emperor's uncle will naturally go with him, and General Cheng will not bother to protect him."

Faced with his younger brother's nonsense, Zhuge Jin was a little unhappy. "Of course Duke Xuande can go to Xiangyang, but he can't bring any people with him." Liu Bei pretended to be angry and said, "Is it the king of the world? Liu Qi and I are both clansmen of the Han family. We should obey the orders of the emperor. Sun Zhongmou blocked it. Is it rebellion?"

As for his family background, Sun Quan could only show off in front of Zhou Cang, but he couldn't compare with Liu Bei. He was the Liu family, even if he lost, he was still the Liu family. "Mr. Xuande, you are a hero who knows the current affairs. I came to Wuling to persuade you with good words, but you don't know that my lord is ready to order Gongjin to lead an army to attack Jingnan."

"The Governor Zhou knows the general situation and knows the severity. Moreover, as far as I know, Gong Jin is raising troops in Chaisang due to injury""

"Hey, what do you want me to say about you? Kong Ming, let me just say it straight. Lord Wu has made up his mind this time. If Zhou Yu can't command the army, he will come in person!"

Liu Bei's expression changed suddenly: "Is Ziyu blackmailing me?"

Zhuge Jin smiled wryly: "If I'm threatening, why come here, why bother to say these things?"

Underestimating Sun Quan's reaction, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other.Who would have thought that it would be unfavorable for Sun Quan to send troops to Hefei, and he would vent his anger on Liu Bei. Sun Quan wanted to use Liu Bei's head to establish his hegemony in Jiangdong.Perhaps this is not only the reaction of Sun Quan, but the joint decision of Jiangdong civil and military, "Xianhe, hold a banquet to welcome Mr. Zhuge." Liu Bei did not continue to argue on this topic.

After the banquet, Zhuge Jin was arranged to stay, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang began to discuss countermeasures in the hall.

"The land of the four counties cannot be surrendered, and the lord of Jingzhou cannot be changed. If we want to fight, we will fight. I will take Nanjun and Xiangyang together." Liu Bei was still a little angry.

"If there is a war, we are not afraid of Sun Quan. It's just that the four counties have just stabilized. If we go to war again, some people will inevitably waver, which is not good for me. Moreover, it is the busy time of farming, and most of the soldiers are farming. It must be ruined. Even if you win, it will be a miserable victory." Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly.

What Liu Bei said was out of anger, and he had no idea whether he was Zhou Yu's opponent.In terms of intelligence, I have Zhuge Liang here, but Jiangdong has Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, the difference is almost the same.In terms of generals, I have Zhang Zhaoyun, Wei Yan and others here. Jiangdong also has Cheng Pu, Tai Shici, Lu Meng, and Ling Tong. Wan, and there are only two thousand direct descendants, and one thousand white-eared soldiers of his own, who are weaker than Jiangdong in terms of combat power and morale. "What about the opinion of the military division?"

"This matter still needs to fall on Zhou Yu. Wait for a letter from me to persuade Zhou Yu to stop fighting."

a letter?Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief.Zhuge Liang laughed: "Don't worry, my lord, this letter is stronger than Cao Cao's million soldiers!"

Lu Su lived in Zhou Yu's house for one night, and came to see Zhou Yu the next day. Zhou Yu was lying on the table looking at a map.Lu Su couldn't believe his eyes: after just one night, his pretty rosy face turned haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his temples were covered with hoarfrost.

"Gongjin..." Lu Su didn't know how to speak.

Xiao Qiao walked in with the food plate, sighed softly, put down the food plate, served a bowl of porridge for Zhou Yu, and handed another bowl to Lu Su.Not without reproach, he said to Lu Su: "Yesterday I don't know what Zijing said, Zhou Lang tossed and turned all night, got up and sat here before dawn."

As she spoke, two lines of tears flowed down, and Xiao Qiao wiped them gently. "Zhou Lang is still ill and can't bear the fatigue, and I can't persuade him, Zijing say a few more words."

Zhou Yu stretched for a while, as if touching the wound, he quickly retracted it.But there was a smile on his face: "This has nothing to do with Zijing, don't blame Zijing. Zijing, let's eat first."

Xiao Qiao glanced at Lu Su again, and said nothing. After the two of them finished eating, they backed away with the food tray.
