"How can you be sure that Lu Bu will not attack Guangling?" Zhu Zhi couldn't help but ask, "After defeating Yuan Shu, Lu Bu will completely occupy Xuzhou. The next step will be Guangling!"
Sun Quan shook his head gently,
"Teacher, you care too much about geographical distinctions. Guangling now is a land without owner. If we take Guangling, it will certainly make Yuan Shu and Lu Bu unhappy, but they will not be able to say anything because they have no time to care. After Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu, if he wants to seize Guangling from us, it means that Lu Bu will start a war with me in Jiangdong. For this reason, Lu Bu will definitely make a cautious decision." Sun Quan casually gestured to Zhu Zhi and said, " Until then, on the one hand, we will use the alliance to delay Lu Bu, and on the other hand, we will seize Yuan Shu's Huainan. After Yuan Shu's defeat in Xuzhou, it will inevitably become a place for all parties to encroach, not only us, but also Cao Cao's side Presumably there will be some action. When Lu Bu realizes that the situation is different, he will definitely turn his gun and continue to attack Yuan Shu. After all, in Lu Bu's view, Yuan Shu was defeated by him, so the fruit of victory should naturally belong to him, Lu Bu. , Lu Bu never wants Huainan to be taken away by us and Cao Cao."
Zhu Zhi's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"That makes sense."
It seems that he was almost convinced by Sun Quan. Judging from the future situation, it is obviously much more difficult for Lu Bu to attack Guangling and start a war with Jiangdong than to pursue the victory, attack Yuan Shu, and occupy the Huainan area. Moreover, with Yuan Shu in decline, there will definitely be many people who want to beat up the lost dog. What's more, after Yuan Shu becomes emperor, attacking the traitor Yuan Shu has a legitimate name. Not only is it profitable, but after the defeat, he can also ask the court for merit. Why not? Lu Bu was worried about falling behind others, worried about his benefits being robbed by others, so he really couldn't care about Guangling for a while.
"So, when Guangling will really face a crisis, it will only be during the period when Yuan Shu is about to be destroyed. Regardless of whether Lu Bu wants to plot Jiangdong or not, as long as he still wants to stick to Xuzhou, he must control Guangling, the gateway to the north of the Yangtze River. ." Sun Quan continued, "However, if my guess is correct, Cao Cao will not watch Lu Bu become rich. It is estimated that Lu Bu has not yet secured a favor in Huainan, and his base camp will be targeted by Cao Cao. Once it does appear, If that happens, not only will Guangling not be attacked, we might also be able to get a piece of the pie in Xuzhou!"
After speaking, Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi seriously,
"Teacher, I know that the natural dangers of the Yangtze River are very tempting. Guangling is located in the north of the Yangtze River. There is no danger to rely on and it is indeed difficult to defend. No matter how sound my analysis is at this time, if we occupy Guangling, we will inevitably bear great risks. But , do we have to huddle in this Jiangdong area all our lives! The chaos in the Central Plains is certainly terrible, but as long as we have the heart to aspire to conquer the Central Plains, the sooner we go north, the sooner we can adapt! I believe that one day, the Yangtze River will not be Our defense is just our bottom line!”
"Good boy!"
Zhu Zhi was also excited by Sun Quan's words. As a rare wise general in Jiangdong, Zhu Zhi has always been a calm person. Unlike Cheng Pu Han Dang and others, Zhu Zhi rarely gets angry because of some pre-war preaching. The blood was boiling with excitement. As a result, at this moment, Sun Quan actually made Zhu Zhi feel like he had followed Sun Jian when he was young and was so majestic.
Who hasn’t been young yet! Who hasn’t had great ambitions?
Growth made Zhu Zhi see the reality clearly, made him cherish the present more, made him cautious, and made him step by step, but there was still a spark of fire in Zhu Zhi's heart. Some people dared to fight, fight, and take high risks. With the flame of pursuing high interests! This flame was usually difficult to detect, but today, it was ignited by Sun Quan.
"Young man, it's really scary." Zhu Zhi looked at Sun Quan and sighed, and then his spirit was shaken, "Hahaha, I have known for a long time that the future will belong to you sooner or later, but I didn't expect that the talent will be better than the talent, and it will come so quickly. However, don’t think that we are old, we can still shine!”
"Teacher, you are in your prime, but you are not old yet." Sun Quan said with a smile.
Zhu Zhi smiled. Once upon a time, he also thought that he was not old, but watching Sun Ce, Sun Quan and others grow up one after another until they stand upright and guide the country, Zhu Zhi had to admit that he was old. Even Zhu Zhi was like this, not to mention Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and others. For a time, Zhu Zhi really believed that the Sun family would conquer the world in the future. It's not because Sun Ce and Sun Quan are more powerful than the heroes of the world, but because Sun Ce and Sun Quan are young enough. Among the younger generation, among the descendants of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, who can compare with the Sun brothers? Once this generation grows old and dies, who else in the world can compete with them? By then, looking at the world, we will really be alone in defeat!
"Without further ado, let's go see the lord right now!"
Zhu Zhi pulled Sun Quan away and said at the same time,
"It is said that the imperial court has appointed Chen Deng as the new governor of Guangling. Chen Deng and his son are at ease under Lu Bu, and Lu Bu will definitely support him. When Chen Deng takes office, it will be troublesome to seize Guangling. Then Chen Deng is Chen Yu The son of my brother-in-law will definitely bear the grudge against my lord for annihilating Chen Yu. Cao Cao must have had some intentions in making him the governor of Guangling. Chen Deng will never coexist peacefully with us."
"Oh?" Sun Quan's eyes flashed. Before that, he was still thinking of recruiting Chen Deng, "Does Chen Deng and Chen Yu have a close relationship?"
"I don't know if we are close or not, but don't forget, they are all from the Chen family, and the family interests are related. If the master destroys Chen Yu, he also destroys a path for the Chen family to rise. Chen Deng and his son have been so active recently, There must be some reason for this," Zhu Zhi said.
"I see." Sun Quan nodded, but somewhat ignored the reason. In this era, family interests really trump everything else. Just like Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, they have been fighting among themselves, but when Yuan Shu was desperate, he also thought of offering the jade seal to let Yuan Shao become emperor. If Chen Yu at that time really joined forces with Sun Ce and Lu Bu to jointly attack Yuan Shu, then his Chen family might really be able to revive. Unfortunately, all this was ruined by Sun Ce.
Chen Deng and his son were deliberately trying to deal with Cao Cao and Lu Bu in an attempt to seek the best interests for themselves. From a family point of view, they were just trying their best to offset the loss of Chen Yu's death.
In this context, can Sun Quan really successfully recruit Chen Deng? Even if he could, would Chen Deng be to Sun Quan like Chen Gui was to Lu Bu? At the critical moment, he would be the same person who betrayed Sun Quan?
After thinking about it, Sun Quan didn't plan to go any further. As for the specifics, it would be better to capture Chen Deng first. At present, Sun Quan's understanding of Chen Deng, including his prejudice against Chen Deng, is all based on history. Maybe Chen Deng is not as duplicitous as Sun Quan thought. He also has principles and his true temperament?
No matter what, once Sun Quan's plan is implemented and Chen Deng takes office in Guangling, he will only fall into a trap.
