We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Everyone thought that today’s discussion was purely about Jingzhou’s issues.

But Pang Tong's opening directly raised the significance of today's meeting to more than one level.

Everyone present is not a fool. Naturally, they all know the importance of Jingzhou to the world.

After hearing Pang Tong's words, they all nodded slightly in agreement, and then looked at Pang Tong quietly.

"Lord, our army has now pacified Jiangdong. We have sufficient food and fodder for our troops and horses, and the morale of our soldiers is high."

After cupping his hands towards Xi Yu, Pang Tong slowly spoke:

"Now Gong Jin, with the help of General Huang and Guo Lingjun, has led his troops to the Huangpi area. If Gong Jin leads the army along the Yangtze River to Xiangyang, Xiangyang will be in our hands in no time."

Waving his arms, Pang Tong's face was full of confidence.

"Xiangyang is the barrier of Jingzhou. If the city of Xiangyang is broken and our army enters Jingzhou, it will be like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. It can sweep away Jingzhou in an instant. In this way, Jingzhou can be broken!"

Looking at Pang Tong, whose face was full of confidence, and thinking about what he just said,

Everyone nodded frequently,

But at this moment, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, shook the feather fan in his hand slightly and said slowly:

"Lord, Liang feels that there may be something wrong with what Shiyuan said."

Hearing Zhuge Liang question Pang Tong, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly:

"What kind of advice does Kong Ming have?"

Gently shaking the feather fan in his hand, Zhuge Liang slowly spoke:

"On the surface, after Liu Jingsheng died of illness in Jingzhou, his son succeeded him as the leader of Jingzhou. However, according to our intelligence, the main control of Jingzhou is now in the hands of Liu Xuande."

Looking around at everyone present, Zhuge Liang continued:

"Everyone must know that although we know that Liu Xuande is a hypocritical person, the people of Jingzhou think that he is a great hero who saved them from Cao Gong. To Liu Xuande, the people of Jingzhou can be said to be grateful."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued:

"Besides, Liu Xuande also has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command, these two world-famous generals. It may not be easy for us to capture Jingzhou."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, everyone nodded frequently.

Xi Yu also raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of unclear meaning.

What the two of them said now made sense. Both of them were unwilling to admit defeat. Now Zhuge Liang directly rejected Pang Tong's idea.

According to Xi Yu's understanding of Pang Tong, he will definitely not let it go, and the two people will definitely quarrel later.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Pang Tong's voice reached Xi Yu's ears.

"Kong Ming's words are a bit too ambitious to overshadow his own prestige."

Pang Tong snorted coldly, his tone full of deep disdain.

Pang Tong always thought that his talent and learning were about 50-50 equal to those of Zhuge Liang, but when he came to join Xiyu,

But it was only because Zhuge Liang begged for mercy that he was able to stay, which made Pang Tong feel very uncomfortable.

Although we are here to discuss matters related to Jingzhou,

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is already a matter of time to capture Jingzhou. Now it just depends on whose opinion the lord is willing to adopt.

Since entering the camp, Pang Tong, who had always wanted to perform meritorious service to prove that he was no worse than Zhuge Liang, became active at this moment.

So, he attacked Zhuge Liang without hesitation.

"My lord controls the land of four continents and controls millions of soldiers! There are countless money, food, cattle and horses, and hundreds of fierce generals! We have just pacified Jiangdong. This is the time when morale is high and everyone is working hard to make progress."

After saying that, Pang Tong raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with deep contempt and disdain.

"What's so scary about a small Liu Bei who hasn't yet secured Jingzhou?"

After saying that, he raised his hands towards Xi Yu and said:

"What's more, Liu Bei is a hypocritical person. Even if he deceives the people of Jingzhou for a while, so what if he gains the trust of the people of Jingzhou? When my lord's army arrives, the people of Jingzhou will know who is truly benevolent and righteous. Man, who is that person who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"

After saying that, Pang Tong bowed his hands to Zhuge Liang, his eyes still full of deep disdain.

Facing Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang didn't have the slightest trace of panic at the moment. He was still shaking the feather fan in his hand as steadily as an old dog.

"What Shi Yuan said at this moment makes sense. My lord now has millions of warriors under his command. If we want to defeat that big-eared thief, we can do so in an instant."

Hearing that Zhuge Liang actually praised himself, Pang Tongyi was a little stunned for a while.

"Ke Shiyuan, you have to know that Xiangyang has been the site of the Four Wars since ancient times. All dynasties have continuously strengthened the city of Xiangyang. Nowadays, Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Regardless of how many casualties our army will suffer when attacking Xiangyang. We Let me tell you first, if Liu Bei sees that the situation is not good and seduces the people of Xiangyang to defend the city with him, then even if our army breaks through Xiangyang, Xiangyang will definitely be in a situation where there is no one for thousands of miles. How much food and grass will my lord have to provide by then? Will Yinliang come to govern Xiangyang?"

"Moreover, the general trend of the world has been decided. The day when my lord will unify the four seas can be determined. The people of Xiangyang are also my lord's subjects. If the people are harmed, how can the lord's benevolence endure it?"

Watching Zhuge Liang talk eloquently, belittling Liu Bei while promoting himself.

Sitting on the main seat, Xiyu's eyes were also full of deep unknown meanings.

"Ryoko, it's over"

Although I think it's a little strange that Zhuge Liang scolded Liu Bei, what Zhuge Liang said is worth pondering.

After all, population is productivity!

Since the moment when the situation began to tilt toward him, his pace of attack has been constantly slowing down. When dealing with many things, he often resorts to peaceful means first.

If peaceful means fail, then he will use force. The most important reason is the population.

This country will develop the industrial revolution in the future. If the population is wiped out due to war, it will be a loss more than the gain.

Therefore, if the people can preserve it, they must preserve it.

At this moment, when Pang Tong heard what Zhuge Liang said, he frowned slightly because Zhuge Liang praised him before. Pang Tong also cupped his hands and asked slowly:

"I wonder what Kong Ming thinks our army should do?"

Facing Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang nodded lightly.

Of course, Zhuge Liang knew everything about Pang Tong's little intention to achieve meritorious service.

If this was normal, he would just give in, but now this is a major event involving Xi Yu's unification of the world.

Naturally, no personal feelings can be involved and only official business can be done.

"As far as Liang knows, when Cao Gong went south, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to kill Cai Mao. This move by Liu Bei can be said to have offended the entire Jingzhou wealthy family."

"Although this wealthy family in Jingzhou is not as powerful as the wealthy families in Qingxu and Qingxu, they still have a large number of servants at home."

"If our army can bring these Jingzhou wealthy families into our hands and make them surrender to the bright side to welcome our righteous army, or we can minimize the casualties, it will be more likely to capture Xiangyang without any bloodshed."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, everyone present nodded slightly.

Everyone is also constantly thinking in their minds. Now, what these two people said has its truth. There is no problem in following anyone's ideas.

Now they just wanted to see who Xi Yu, who was sitting on the high platform, wanted to take. For a moment, everyone turned to look at Xi Yu.

Before Xi Yu could say anything, a cold voice slowly came from the corner.

"What's the point of fighting over this kind of thing? I don't think it's better to bribe powerful people while arranging the troops and waiting for the opportunity. When the powerful people and Liu Bei are both injured in the fight, they can order the governor of Zhou to lead his army to attack Xiangyang. , brought Hao Qiang and Liu Bei together."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at Jia Xu sitting in the corner, and shrugged slightly. Jia Xu looked indifferent.

After taking a look at Jia Xu, everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Cruel, so ruthless, he is worthy of Jia Xu, his acting style is still so ruthless.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Xi Yu, waiting for his answer.

After scanning the crowd present, Xi Yu slowly spoke:

"Jia Xu's idea is very good. I have ordered Feng Xiao to do it."

After slowly explaining Guo Fengxiao's previous plans and the current situation to everyone, Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and spoke slowly.

"Liangzi's idea is also very good, so we started to take action after the Hao clan and Liu Bei started fighting. If the time drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the people of Jingzhou will be wiped out by them."

After listening to Xi Yu's words, everyone present showed expressions of sudden realization.

It turns out that the Lord has already made a decision on how to attack Jingzhou.

For a moment, there were tears in everyone's eyes. The lord is really a benevolent master. With such an advantage, he can still dominate the people of Jingzhou.

He is truly a benevolent and virtuous man!

At the same time, a trace of confusion arose in everyone's hearts.

Since the lord has already thought about how to solve this matter, why did he ask them to come here to discuss the matter together?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xi Yu naturally knew what they were thinking at the moment.

With a slight smile, the most important purpose of this discussion was stated.

"After the civil strife in Jingzhou, in addition to asking Zhou Yu to lead troops southward, the north cannot stop. Now we want to see who is willing to lead troops to attack Xiangyang from north to south?"

When he heard that there was a battle to be fought, Xu Chu stood up and said:

"Lord! Xu Chu is willing to lead the army to fight!"

Seeing Xu Chu standing up, Xi Yu frowned slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want Xu Chu to lead the army.

However, Xu Chu's leg injury has not healed yet, and now is not a time of shortage of personnel.

Naturally, Xi Yu didn't want Xu Chu to go into the battle injured.

"But your leg is injured"

Seeing Xi Yu mention his leg injury, Xu Chu quickly stretched his legs for fear that Xi Yu would not let him play for this reason.

"A small scratch is not worth mentioning. Besides, the injury has already recovered, and it will not affect the capture of the big-eared thief at all!"

While Xi Yu was thinking, all the generals below also asked for help to fight.

After looking around at all the generals present, Xi Yu then ordered two people.

"Then we will take Wen Yuan as the commander and Dian Wei as the vanguard, and lead the troops to attack Xiangyang from north to south."

After all, the situation has been decided now. No matter who you send to do this kind of thing, the result will be the same.

After giving all the instructions, Xi Yu returned to the inner courtyard and considered whether he should study today.

As Xi Yu left, Pang Tong's face looked very ugly at the moment.

I thought that my opinion would be adopted by the lord this time, but I didn't expect that the lord didn't even mention it this time.

Although he was very disappointed, Pang Tong was still very clear about Xi Yu's rules. Infighting was the most annoying thing for the lord, so once the matter was decided, no one could change it.

With a sigh, Pang Tong slowly left.

But before he took two steps, Zhuge Liang caught up with him.

"Shi Yuan, there is good wine in the Tianxiang Courtyard. I am treating you to my brother today. I wonder if Shi Yuan can give me a favor?"

In fact, Zhuge Liang still felt a little sorry for Pang Tong.

Although what happened before was for the Lord to unify the world, Zhuge Liang also felt a little bit regretful about what he had just said.

Zhuge Liang came to compensate Pang Tong for this drink.

But he could say this at any time, but Pang Tong, who was still angry at this moment, had a cold expression on his face.

"The wine in your Astronomical Academy is not something people like me can tolerate."

After saying that, he strode away and headed straight to the design institute.

Looking at Pang Tong striding away, Zhuge Liang also had a look of helplessness on his face.

At this moment, Xi Yu has returned to his bedroom, lying on the Taishi chair and watching the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Xi Yu's face is full of relaxation and joy.

Now there are Zhou Yu and Guo Jia in the south of Jingzhou, and Zhang Liao and Dianwei in the north will arrive soon. It can be said that Jingzhou is now in his pocket, and he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

Feeling the temperature of the brazier under his feet, Xi Yu gradually felt a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Perhaps because he played mahjong too late last night, Xiyu actually felt a little tired now.

Logically speaking, he prepared ten oil lamps last night. This behavior can be described as extremely luxurious, and Gan Mei and Cai Yan did not feel the slightest discomfort.

But for Xi Yu, who has enjoyed electric lamps, he would not like it even if he came to Baibai Exhibition Oil Lamp.

"Oh~~~~ It seems that we need to urge the people at the Academy of Sciences to quickly research electricity and light bulbs."

With a slight sigh, Xi Yu planned to find a time to go to the Academy of Sciences and urge them to get the electric lights out.

"Husband, that girl from the Sun family."

Just when Xi Yu was thinking about how to bring light to the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan Mei entered the room at some unknown time.

Although Ganmei was not very accustomed to entering Xiyu's room directly at first, after all, this was a privilege given to her by Xiyu, and she gradually got used to it over time.

Moreover, Gan Mei found that knocking and then entering seemed more disturbing to Xi Yu than going in without knocking, so she simply changed her habit.

Seeing Gan Mei come in, Xi Yu naturally knew the reason for her coming, so he softly persuaded:

"You don't need to worry about her. If she wants to continue to be sulky, let her go. Maybe she will figure it out after being alone for a long time."

Looking at Ganmei's appearance, Xiyu's eyes also showed a little distress.

After all, Gan Mei had spent all her energy on Sun Shangxiang's affairs, and even the smile on her face became less and less.

In this case, just let Ganmei leave her alone. After all, the Sun family has already agreed, and Xi Yu has plenty of time to spend time with Sun Shangxiang.

But when Xi Yu finished speaking, Gan Mei hurriedly said:

"No, no, no, husband, don't get me wrong. The Sun family girl wants to study for her husband, but she is afraid of making him unhappy, so she stands outside the door and dare not come in."

Hearing Gan Mei's words, Xi Yu was slightly startled. This was a bit surprising.

It was a big loss last night. How long has it been since you have adjusted your emotions again and are ready to make money?

Shaking his head slightly, Xi Yu said to Gan Mei:

"Let her in."

After stretching, Xi Yu picked up the Classic of Mountains and Seas again. He happened to be a little tired from reading just now, so it was just right that someone came over to read to him.

After receiving Xi Yu's order, Gan Mei quickly pulled Sun Shangxiang who was standing outside the door in, and then casually found an excuse to leave.

After Ganmei left, Sun Shangxiang was alone in a room with two people, you looked at me and I looked at you.

It was as if no one wanted to speak first, and no one wanted to bow first.

After a while, Xi Yu put his feet up again, leaned on the Taishi chair and slowly picked up "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

At this time, Sun Shangxiang couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly said: "Does what you said last night still count?"

Hearing Sun Shangxiang speak, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows and said directly: "Why doesn't it count? What I say always counts."

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Sun Shangxiang's expression changed and he slowly spoke:

"There are a few books that I haven't read since I was a child, so I want two coins per word."

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's attitude, Xi Yu was slightly startled, and then looked at her coldly.

Is this her attitude when asking for help? Now, is he begging her or is she begging herself?

This thing is simply unreasonable.

There are a lot of people in this house who want to do this kind of thing where you can make money just by opening your mouth.

"I have said that everything I say counts. Therefore, every word and a copper is a word and a copper. There is no room for any bargaining."

To be honest, one word for one copper is already very expensive, and even a little expensive.

At that time, when Xi Yu issued banknotes at the bank, he divided them into three categories: gold, silver, and copper. Ten coppers were equal to one silver, and one silver was equal to one gold.

Now, Sun Shangxiang already owes him five hundred and twenty gold, which is equivalent to fifty-two thousand words.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang didn't even know how much money she owed, but she knew it must be a lot of money.

Although he heard what Xi Yu said, Sun Shangxiang's belief was still very firm.

"Two coppers."

But Xi Yu still said calmly without raising his eyelids:

"One copper."

Seeing that Xi Yu was not moved at all, he stamped his feet and Sun Shangxiang puffed his lips, turned around and walked towards the door.

But when she was about to reach the door, she suddenly stopped and fell into hesitation again.
