At this time, the civil servants in Jiangdong, headed by Zhang Zhao, advocated surrendering to Cao Cao. These were basically from aristocratic families, and each of them had interests behind them.
Once the war spreads to the land of Jiangdong, the interests of the family will be affected. These people have the same idea as Kuai Yue and Cai Mao under Liu Biao. If they change their master, they will still have high officials and generous salaries. The only ones affected are the Sun family. .
Zhang Zhaonai was an important minister of Sun Ce Tuogu, and his reputation in Jiangdong was very high. If Zhou Yu had not led troops to attend the funeral, his status would have been the same as that of Zhuge Liang in the late Shu Han Dynasty.
Because Sun Ce said the same thing to Liu Bei before he died: If Zhongmou does not do anything, you will take it yourself. I can't defeat Zhengyi, so I slowly return to the west without any worries.
Although there are coincidences in history, Zhang Zhao is not Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan is not Liu Chan.
Zhang Zhao had great influence in Jiangdong, and the only person who could check and balance him was Zhou Yuyuan in Chaisang.
Just when he was depressed, Lu Su came in to see him. Sun Quan was overjoyed: "Zijing came just in time. I have something to discuss with you."
"My lord, are you worried about Cao Cao?" Lu Su asked.
Sun Quan nodded: "Cao Cao sent a letter to force me to surrender in Jiangdong. The princes outside the palace are all working for themselves, which makes me very disappointed. However, Cao Cao is indeed powerful. What can I do?"
"Cao Cao's troops are all on foot and cavalry in the north. If he wants to cross the Yangtze River and go south, he needs a lot of ships. Now that he has captured Jingzhou, his warships must be insufficient. In addition, the navy is not trained, so it may not be able to fight with me in the east of the Yangtze River." Lu Su analyzed .
Sun Quan sat upright and said happily: "Oh? Zijing has a strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Lu Su nodded and said: "A few months ago, my lord marched westward to Jiangxia. I saw that Guan Yu's navy was well-trained. Now Liu Bei is stationed in Jiangxia. They know Cao Cao's situation best. It's better to send envoys to Liu Bei to form an alliance with us." The two armies will surely defeat Cao Cao."
"The public statement is very good, but who can entrust it?" Sun Quan asked.
"Su Bucai is willing to send an envoy to Jiangxia on behalf of my lord," Lu Su said.
"Zijing, please go quickly." Sun Quan said.
Just as Lu Su handed over his hands and was about to leave, he turned back and suggested: "If my lord is bored in the city, it is better to go to Chaisang for a few days under the pretext of inspecting the navy. You can find peace at the governor's place." At this time, Zhang Si
Sun Quan's blue eyes lit up and his heart immediately moved, "Then let's meet in Chaisang."
"Wei." Lu Su turned and left.
Sun Quan wanted to go to Chaisang to relax, and he would be followed by guards and servants, so it took a long time to prepare. Lu Su's boat sailed upstream from Wu County and arrived in Jiangxia a few days later.
When Lu Su came, he found that Liu Bei seemed to be waiting for him. After the two exchanged greetings, he got straight to the point and said, "Cao Cao has always been afraid of the general. Now he is leading his army south to Jingxiang. The king will be in danger sooner or later if he stays in the isolated city of Jiangxia. I don't know what to do?"
Liu Bei shook his head and showed a helpless expression, "Soldiers will come to block it, and water will come and earth will cover it. If you can block it, you will be able to do it. If you can't, you will be able to move away..."
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. Where can the emperor escape to?" Lu Su asked.
"Bei has an old relationship with Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu. If Jiangxia is defeated, he will surrender to him." Liu Bei felt guilty when he said this.
Lantian promoted scientific planting in Guiyang, and many people from Cangwu County had moved to Guiyang. At this time, the two sides had exchanged letters many times.
Lu Su smiled hoarsely and said: "Wu Juliang has a small army and he cannot protect himself. How can he accommodate others?"
"Although it is not enough to live in for a long time, I can rely on it for a while. There is nothing else..."
Before he finished speaking, Kong Ming appeared holding a feather fan, and Liu Bei immediately introduced him to Lu Su.
Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei the Longzhong pair, and earlier, Lu Su gave Sun Quan the Jiangdong pair.
In Lu Su's plan, Sun Quan occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, and divided the world with Cao Cao in the north. These two people with great strategic vision sympathized with each other after meeting.
During the conversation, Zhuge Liang analyzed Cao Cao's strengths and weaknesses very clearly. Lu Su became more and more impressed by this man who regarded himself as a wind musician. He found that Zhuge Liang also agreed with the Sun-Liu alliance.
After the situation was thoroughly discussed, Lu Su said: "Liu Shijun, my master has been in Chaisang recently. Su would like to invite Kong Ming to clarify the truth about Cao's traitor and discuss an alliance between the two families."
"I rely on my military advisor a lot. If I really want to go, I have to come back quickly..." Liu Bei was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, Chaisang is only half a day away by water, and Mr. Kong Ming can return in a few days," Lu Su said.
"Since we want to form an alliance to fight against Cao, I think we can invite more families." Zhuge Liang added.
"More? Who are you looking for on the Yangtze River?" Lu Su looked confused.
Liu Bei said: "Master Liu Qi has become the Lord of Jingzhou. He now controls the four counties in Jingnan and has tens of thousands of troops."
Lu Su asked in surprise: "When did this happen? Isn't he just the prefect of Lingling?"
"More than ten days ago, my lord appointed him as the governor of Jingzhou, and the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Wuling immediately surrendered..." Zhuge Liang explained.
Lu Su was stunned for a long time. Isn't Liu Qi just a mediocre person? Why did these counties surrender? Could it be that this guy also has the ability of his father to conquer Jingzhou alone?
"What happened to Zijing?" Liu Bei asked.
"No matter what, now that the enemy is facing us, we should share the same hatred. Where is Liu Jingzhou now?" Lu Suxin said that he still had to re-evaluate Liu Qi.
Zhuge Liang said: "The eldest son went back to Jingnan for inspection. I don't know where he is now, but his new Lingling prefect is in Jiangxia. We can go to see Sun Polu together."
"Who is this?" Lu Su looked confused.
"The surname is Lan, the given name is Tian, and the courtesy name is Ziyu." Zhuge Liang introduced.
"What is his talent?" Lu Su asked subconsciously. He had never heard anyone mention this name.
"I don't know yet, but he seems to be a good cook." Zhuge Liang said.
"Can this person make the decision for Liu Qi?" Lu Su frowned, thinking that if he couldn't make the decision, bringing him over would make Sun Quan unhappy.
Liu Bei nodded in affirmation: "Lan Ziyu is the eldest son's confidant, Zijing can just take him to Chaisang."
After hearing this, Lu Su stopped asking any more questions. He guessed that this person was not very talented and should have gained Liu Qi's trust through special means.
Lu Su and Lan Tian met for the first time when they boarded the ship. Lan Tian often went to the fields to wander around, and his delicate and handsome facial features were tanned to a bronze color.
Zhuge Liang introduced both parties, and Lan Tian and Lu Su saluted each other and said hello.
Before Lu Su had time to communicate with Lan Tian, two tall warriors followed him onto the boat.
Lu Su thought these were Lantian's guards, so he asked Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Kong Ming, are these two..."
"This is General Zilong, and this is General Shuzhi..." Zhuge Liang introduced.
"Are they also under the command of the eldest young master?" Lu Su saw that the two men were extraordinary in martial arts, and now he was even more suspicious of Liu Qi.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "They are all under my master's tent. Ziyu is a distinguished guest of Jiangxia, so we can't make any mistakes..."
Lu Su felt that Zhuge Liang's words were very reasonable. If something went wrong with Liu Qi's confidant, Liu Bei would probably have a hard time on his territory.
He just sent two powerful generals at once. Was Liu Bei too cautious?
"Are they all protecting Mr. Ziyu?" Lu Su asked in confusion.
"Zhao Yun was ordered to protect Mr. Ziyu..." Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
"Chen Dao was ordered to protect Mr. Kong Ming..."
After hearing this, Lu Su gradually lost his smile and said to himself that Liu Bei was really careful and thoughtful. His lord was not worried at all when he traveled such a long way from Wu County.
