When Sun Quan saw such a difficult matter, Zhou Yu had a plan in mind and hurriedly asked for countermeasures.
Zhou Yu first asked: "Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao and brought peace to Hebei. He was so powerful that he often wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River. If Liu Qi hadn't come out of the blue, Jingzhou would have been divided between our two families. With this situation, who would benefit more?" big?"
Lu Su replied: "If Jingzhou is divided, Cao Cao will definitely get Nanyang and Nanjun. The isolated city of Jiangxia cannot be defended, so I can only get the land south of the Yangtze River. Cao Cao's control of Jingzhou is already established. It is really difficult to take Jiangdong from the east and west." Of."
Sun Quan also thought carefully about Lu Su's previous words. He nodded and said: "If Cao Cao wins Jingzhou, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. If I win Jingzhou, it is just the icing on the cake, like luring a wolf into the house!"
Zhou Yu chuckled and said: "Although Liu Qi has some strategies and has thousands of enemies from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his new move to Jingzhou is not feared by the rest of the world. With only the capital of Jingzhou, he cannot stop Cao's army alone, let alone coveting the land east of the Yangtze River." .”
Sun Quan said: "If we just sit back and watch, Liu Qi will be destroyed sooner or later, and Jiangdong will also be in danger!"
Zhou Yu said: "Although Cao Cao was defeated in Nanyang, the north has vast territory, abundant food, and abundant talents. Without touching its roots, it is still difficult to compete with Cao Cao, let alone allow him to dominate. When Cao Cao is seeking revenge, send troops from Huainan, To contain Cao's army and prevent it from looking at each other, I will act according to the opportunity and map out the Central Plains. When both Cao and Liu are defeated, Cao's army is exhausted and Liu Qi is defeated, then we can take advantage of the situation to attack Jing and Xiang."
"This is a great plan!" Sun Quan said with a smile, stroking his palms: "If we can capture Jingzhou without spending much force, and with the prosperity of Wu and Chu, why should we fear Cao Cao?"
Lu Su said: "Cao Cao has many soldiers and generals, and he is good at using troops. He is invincible in defeating Lu Bu and conquering Yuan Shao. Although Liu Qi won by luck, he may not be able to support himself for long."
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "As long as Liu Qi fights Cao Cao wholeheartedly, he will not have any worries. With the wealth of Jingzhou and the courage of Guan and Zhang, he can sustain him for three to five years."
Lu Su suddenly understood: "Gong Jin's intention is to unite with Liu Qi to fight against Cao together?"
Zhou Yu cupped his fists at Sun Quan and said, "My lord has a younger sister who is in the boudoir. She is about the same age as Liu Qi. If we can become a good friend of Qin and Jin, Liu Qi will have no worries and will fight against Cao's thieves with all his strength."
"What?" Sun Quan stood up in shock and waved his sleeves and said: "If I don't avenge my father, I have already endured the humiliation. How can I marry my little sister to my enemy? Even if I am not afraid of others' criticism, how can I be at peace if I put my late father under the water?" "
Zhou Yu said: "In the past, when Liu Biao sent troops, it was because our ancestors were ordered by Yuan Shu to conquer Jingzhou and had no choice but to protect themselves. What's more, Huang Zu is dead and his revenge has been avenged. My lord should put the overall situation first! Lu Boyan can still marry Bo Fu. My daughter serves the Sun family and marries Liu Qi to resist Cao Cao, why not?"
"This..." Sun Quan wandered down the hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.
After Sun Ce was assassinated, in order to win over the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan changed his high-pressure posture and adopted a soft policy to appease the family, appoint his children, and even allow each family to have private troops, so as to stabilize the territory.
When Sun Ce attacked Lujiang on Yuan Shu's order, more than a hundred people from the prefect Lu Kang's clan died in the city. He betrothed Sun Ce's daughter to Lu Xun just to resolve the grudges with the Lu family.
Everyone is their own master, and they have no control over their own affairs. Since they can marry and reconcile with the Lu family, why can't they make peace with Liu Biao?
Seeing Sun Quan's hesitation, Zhou Yu added: "There is a deeper meaning here: Your sister is extremely brave, skilled in bow and horse, although she is not as good as the men, and Liu Qi is weak, so he must be afraid. If Liu Qi can be controlled, wouldn't Jingzhou already belong to Jiangdong? ? Even if this is not possible, Liu Qi will be defeated in the future and will have no choice but to defect to Jiangdong. My lord will take advantage of the situation and take Jingzhou, which is justifiable and easy."
But Lu Su suddenly said: "I heard that Liu Qi is going to marry the daughter of the Xi family in Xiangyang. They have already made an engagement. Could it be that Gong Jin didn't know about it?"
"Is this true?" Sun Quan was a little moved, and his heart trembled when he heard these words.
His sister was even afraid of herself. If she could secretly tell her to control Liu Qi, it would be a huge gain.
"I had already inquired about Jingzhou's news when I came here. How could I not know about this?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "But it is common for a real man to have three wives and four concubines. Yao's wife and two daughters were judged by Shun, so what's wrong with the lord marrying his younger sister? "
Lu Su said: "Liu Qi is a noble member of the imperial family. Even if the young lady is a concubine, it will not be an insult to her. But Liu Biao is still alive, so I'm afraid Liu Qi can't make the decision."
Zhou Yu said: "Since Liu Qi defeated Cao Cao, Liu Biao has obeyed his advice. All he needs to do is convince Liu Qi."
Sun Quan paced back and forth for a long time before saying: "Shang Xiang is strong and willful, and Gao Tang loves her very much. Please allow me to discuss with my mother before making a decision."
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "For this matter, we need to send someone to Jingzhou to see Liu Qi first to test his intentions."
Lu Su cupped his fists and said: "This is about the alliance between Sun and Liu and the great cause of Jiangdong. Although Su is not talented, he is willing to go to Jingzhou because he wants Liu Qi to put aside the past and work together to defeat Cao Cao."
Sun Quan was overjoyed and said: "If Zijing goes there in person, great things can be accomplished!"
Zhou Yu said: "I have been at odds with Liu Biao for many years. If I go there rashly, my son Jing will be in danger. Can I order Zhuge Ziyu to go with me? His younger brothers and sisters all have families in Xiangyang, and his second brother Zhuge Liang is even more important to Liu Qi, so he will not embarrass the two of them. , if we can take the opportunity to persuade Kongming to come to Jiangdong, we will be better than the two Jingzhous."
Sun Quan was surprised and said: "How virtuous and capable is Ziyu's younger brother, that he is so highly praised by Gong Jin?"
Zhou Yu sighed with emotion: "Jingzhou nursery rhyme goes: Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, one can make peace in the world. Although I have never met Kong Ming, I have a good relationship with Pang Shiyuan. I know that he has unique knowledge and is a genius in the world. All the people in Jiangdong It's not as good as that. He once said that Kong Ming's ability is particularly outstanding. However, Feng Chu left without saying goodbye. If Wo Long can come in exchange for it, it will be the Lord's luck and Jiangdong's luck!"
Sun Quan was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together: "Such talents were used by Liu Qi's son. It is really a waste of natural resources. Zijing quickly went to Zhuge's house personally. He must ask Ziyu to go to Jingzhou and convince Wolong to come to our Jiangdong. I will learn from him." Be polite!"
Just as Lu Su was about to leave, Zhou Yu suddenly said: "Liu Qi is cunning and cunning, but Zijing is a loyal man. Be careful when you go here to avoid plotting against him."
Lu Su shook his head and said with a smile: "Am I one of those Xiahou Mao and Liang's children? I am going to Jingzhou with nothing to seek and no plans. What can he do to me?"
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "If you don't have desires, you will be strong. If you go here, I will definitely be able to achieve great results. I will be waiting for good news in Chaisang."
After Lu Su left, Sun Quan sighed: "Liu Qi rose from Xiangyang, captured two generals, Zhang, and captured the sleeping dragons and phoenixes to lead the people in Jingzhou. He may be a big trouble in the long run! The governor and Zijing once planned to capture Jingzhou to form a tripartite power. It may be difficult to enter Tubashu!"
Zhou Yu looked left and right, waved his attendants away, and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, my lord, everyone knows that Liu Qi was a blockbuster, his golden scales turned into dragons, and he was the only one who prospered the Han Dynasty. From what I can see, he is really a drunkard and a womanizer. Become a big deal.”
Sun Quan was surprised and asked, "How did Gong Jin know this?"
Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "I have to make a detailed report: Liu Qi is a lecherous person, and he was almost fallen to death by Cai's beauty trap before. Although he later found his way back, his character is hard to change. Not only did he leave the concubine behind, but he also stayed in Guizhou. It is ridiculous to have another concubine before marriage, and sooner or later the family property will be ruined and all will belong to the lord."
"It's God's help..." Sun Quan clapped his hands and shouted, then frowned and said, "Isn't this harming Shang Xiang?"
