Sun Quan's tone was full of distress and worry.
He knew that his martial arts skills were not good, and now almost all Jiangdong's martial arts were achieved by Lu Meng alone.
Moreover, Lu Meng is the only Huaisi general among the generals in Jiangdong today who can suppress the local generals in Jiangdong.
If Lu Meng has three strengths and two weaknesses, it will be a huge loss to Jiangdong.
Sun Quan went on to say, "Zi Ming's talent is at ease when he is alone."
"What I'm worried about is not whether Ziming can capture the Public Security Bureau. It's just that after Ziming captures Jingzhou, Cao Mengde may fear that I am powerful and betray the alliance and attack me."
"And Liu Bei will also be angry and raise troops to attack me. At that time, I will be attacked from both sides of the river east of the Yangtze River. What should I do?"
Sun Quan knew very well that Liu Bei was now powerful and threatening the Central Plains, so Cao Cao would form an alliance with him.
But once he takes Jingzhou, the situation of strength will be reversed, and there is no guarantee that Cao Cao will not send troops to attack him.
As for Liu Bei, let alone that.
Sun Quan had this worry in his mind before, but at that time Jingzhou could be easily won by him, and the huge benefits made him temporarily abandon this worry.
But now that Jingzhou no longer seems so easy to win, this worry in his heart has resurfaced, disturbing Sun Quan's thoughts.
Seeing that Sun Quan was worried about this, Lu Meng bowed to Sun Quan in front of him and said,
"After Jingzhou was captured, the Supreme Lord ordered the captives to guard Nanjun, Pan Zhang lived in Baidi, and Jiang Qin sent tens of thousands of troops up and down the river to respond to the enemy's location.
And Mongolia occupied Xiangyang before becoming a country.
So, why worry about Cao, why rely on Yu?
Qi Yu, the monarch and his ministers, should be cautious of their deceitful power, and they should not be treated with caution.
Mengxi Tunlukou was on the same territory as Guan Yu. He knew that Yu was a heroic figure, he had the intention of annexing Jiangdong, and he was in the upper echelon of the country. His power would not last long.
The reason why Yu is not able to go eastward today is because the Supreme Saint and Ming Meng are still alive.
Don't plan for it now when we are strong. Once we are dead and ready to conquer the west again, will we get evil? "
The conqueror Lu Meng mentioned was Sun Jiao, Sun Quan's cousin and conqueror general.
"Besides, everyone knows about Supreme and the Northern Alliance. Guan Yu must hate Supreme deeply."
"Now the Supreme Being will not take advantage of the fierce battle between Guan Yu and the north to send his troops to the west. Once Guan Yu returns, he will go down the river and reach Jianye in a day or night!"
Every word Lu Meng said hit Sun Quan hard in the heart.
Yes, he has accepted Cao Cao's imperial edict, and his intention to ally with Cao Cao is already known to everyone.
If Guan Yu might have been skeptical before, but after the news spread, he will undoubtedly be convinced.
With Guan Yu's character of being happy with revenge, once he frees up his hands, he will definitely send troops to the east.
So now he has the arrow on the string and has to shoot.
Although Sun Quan had poor military strategy and poor grasp of fighter opportunities, he also knew what was about to cause disaster.
Now Liu Bei is no longer the brother-in-law who relied on others and whose life depended on his thoughts.
Now Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong who spans Jingyi and has hundreds of thousands of armor. He can compete with Wei King Cao Cao.
After thinking about this, Sun Quan couldn't help but shuddered all over.
Sun Quan no longer hesitated. He looked down at Lu Meng and asked,
"Ziming, how many troops and horses do you need to completely guarantee the victory of Jingzhou?"
Regarding this point, Lu Meng had already considered this in his mind. Compared with the previous easy attack on Jingzhou, he would undoubtedly try his best now.
Lu Meng immediately replied, "We can only use all the troops from Jiangdong, and the army can be one hundred thousand."
Hearing that Lü Meng wanted 100,000 troops, Sun Quan frowned subconsciously. This was his entire Jiangdong army, and now he wanted to give it all to Lü Meng alone...
After Lu Meng asked for 100,000 troops, Sun Quan did not rush to make a decision. He first looked around at the circle of Jiangdong officials in the hall.
Don't look at Zhang Zhao's row. They don't support the advancement of Jingzhou in the first place.
Finally, Sun Quan fixed his gaze on one person.
That person was Sun Jiao.
Sun Quan already had a plan in mind, and he made a decision on the spot, "I will appoint Lu Meng and the left governor of Jiangdong, and Sun Jiao will be the right governor of Jiangdong, with one hundred thousand in charge..."
Unexpectedly, before Sun Quan's order was finished, Lu Meng bowed to Sun Quan again and said,
“If the Supreme Being has the ability to conquer captives, it is better to use it; if the Supreme Being has the ability to conquer prisoners, it is better to use Mongolia.
In the past, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the governors of the left and right departments, supervising the troops to attack Jiangling.
Although the matter was decided by Yu, Pu relied on his generals for a long time, and they were all governors. As a result, they were not in harmony with each other, and the country's affairs were almost ruined. This is the current warning. "
Lu Meng's advice blocked Sun Quan's unfinished decision.
After hearing Sun Quan's order, Sun Jiao was already ready to come out to accept the order and thank him.
But he was stuck halfway by Lu Meng's words.
After Lu Meng finished making this suggestion, not only Sun Jiao was a little embarrassed, but Sun Quan even looked a little worried.
Although he still loved Lu Meng, but now Lu Meng said this in public, it was a bit too far.
No one wants to be reminded of dark history.
For a time, all the officials in Jiangdong focused their attention on the two monarchs Lu Meng and Sun Quan.
The courtiers who were originally from Jiangdong even pretended to be watching a good show.
But what disappointed those people was that Sun Quan had a look of worry on his face at first, but soon, a look of awakening appeared on his face.
Finally, Sun Quan said to Lu Meng with some apology in his tone,
"It's okay to take you as the chief governor and Ming Jiao as your successor."
Among the three heroes in the world, Cao Cao advocates the rule of law, Liu Bei advocates the rule of benevolence, and Sun Quan advocates the rule of power.
Compared with the two monarchs Cao Cao and Liu Bei, although Sun Quan did not have so much trust in his subordinates, he was by no means a fool.
Seeing that Sun Quan had changed his mind, Lu Meng thanked Sun Quan and said,
"Meng Bi will be like Zhou Lang back then, taking Jingzhou for the Supreme!"
Hearing that Lu Meng was so confident, Sun Quan couldn't help but sweep away his worries and burst into laughter.
Then he took off his sword, raised it in front of Lu Meng and said,
"This time, I will lead the whole country's strength in the westward expedition, and there will be no mistakes."
"In Jiangdong, except Gu, no matter what their status is, what position they currently occupy, or whether they are close to Gu, Ziming can command them with Gu's sword."
"If anyone dares to violate Zi Ming's rules, Zi Ming can kill him first without any hesitation."
As soon as Sun Quan said this, all Jiangdong officials present were in an uproar.
Even when Zhou Yu commanded the Battle of Chibi, he did not receive such an honor from Sun Quan.
In order to win Jingzhou, Sun Quan had given up all his trust and only hoped that Lu Meng would not let him down.
Lu Meng was deeply moved by Sun Quan's trust.
Lu Meng respectfully took Sun Quan's sword with both hands. After kowtowing to Sun Quan three times, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
As soon as Lu Meng left, at Sun Quan's signal, most of Jiangdong's courtiers in the hall immediately stood up and left behind him.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong,...
Among these people, any one you name is a long-famous general in Jiangdong.
Most of them have been passed down from the times of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and they are the mainstay of guarding the Sun family and Dinghai rocks.
Without them, Sun Quan would not have been able to rule Jiangdong smoothly.
But now, it can be said that except for those who are really unable to mobilize, Sun Quan has bet all Jiangdong's chips on Lu Meng this time.
With such a luxurious lineup, Sun Quan didn't believe it. He couldn't win a police station?
After capturing Mi Yang alive, he would cook the deer in public to vent his hatred.
