Sikong Xuan looked at Xu You's back, and it seemed a little familiar. Afterwards, he went to look for the room that Xu Shu entered, and found that there was already a pile of fly ash there, with nothing left. Yu Yi also worshiped in front of the house. , and also built a tomb for Xu Shu in the Feng Shui treasure land in Shangdang City. After returning to the mansion, Yu Yi immediately called Xu You over and asked, "Do you know about Sikong Xuan's recent situation?"
Xu You shook his head, and Yu Yi narrated how Sikong Xuan received the letter from home, and how Diao Chan went to Luoyang based on the address in the letter to investigate, and what happened there that had been abandoned for a long time. After hearing this, Xu You raised his eyebrows and said: "Sikong Xuan Xuan is an orphan, and his father was an official in the dynasty, but he later offended the powerful and died more than 20 years ago!"
After hearing this, Yu Yi's doubts disappeared and he said: "Then things will become clear. This letter must be a fraud!"
Xu Youyou nodded and said, "I wonder what the intention of the person who wrote the letter was?"
Yu Yi asked again: "Do you know a man named Sima Yi?"
Xu You searched in his mind and replied: "When I was traveling around, I heard of such a name. It is said that he is as resourceful as Wolong, and he also has a great opportunity!"
Yu Yi then told everyone about borrowing Dongfeng and the corpse soldiers.
After hearing this, Xu You sighed and said: "The young master is the chosen one, how can this Sima Yi be the young master's opponent!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Recently I asked Huang Shumin to investigate the situation in Pingyang. I plan to take over this city and then occupy these lands as a passage for my eldest brother to enter Sichuan!" After that, he will He took out the map and spread it out on the table.
Xu You looked at the map and suggested: "Now our troops are less than 40,000, and Cao Cao is newly defeated. The only thing we rely on is Taihang as a barrier. Although the Battle of Chibi wiped out hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops, the Central Plains and even Hebei's The foundation is still there. If Cao Cao attacks from Xuchang with his troops and horses, and combines the power of Hebei, as well as the power of Luoyang and Chang'an, then we will be surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the situation will be very critical!"
Based on Xu You's reminder, Yuyi checked the situation and believed that Xu You's concerns existed. He found that he was lacking in overall consideration and quickly asked: "Please teach me, sir!"
Xu You said: "After the Battle of Chibi, Uncle Liu Huang will advance from Jingzhou to the west under Wolong's guidance. We can march quickly to the vicinity of Chang'an, join him, and then capture Sichuan in one fell swoop. Then we can divide the world into three parts." It’s settled!”
Yu Yi nodded and said, "Sir, please further plan our direction. I will immediately withdraw the military order to attack Pingyang." After that, he walked out of the camp.
In Jingzhou, Zhou Yu saw that Kong Ming attacked Nanjun and successively took Jingzhou and Xiangyang without any effort. He was very angry. The wound really burst. He fell into a coma for a long time and then slowly woke up. After waking up, he was very excited and said angrily: "If I don't kill Zhuge villagers, how can I eliminate the resentment in my heart! Cheng Pu can help me attack Nanjun, and I must capture it for Soochow!"
During the discussion, Lu Su arrived.
Zhou Yu said to Lu Su: "I am going to raise troops to fight Liu Bei and Kong Ming to recapture Nanjun. You must help me!"
Lu Su immediately raised objections and said: "This won't work. We are still in a stalemate with Cao Cao, and there is no determination of success or failure. The Lord's attack on Hefei has not yet yielded results. We cannot fight among ourselves at this time. Then the situation will be dire. It will be even more critical, and Liu Bei has taken refuge with Cao Cao before, and Guan Yu and Cao Cao have a very good relationship. If Liu Bei is pushed into a panic and directly surrenders the city to Cao Cao, and in turn attacks Soochow together, what should we do? ?”
Zhou Yu said: "We used a trick, killed our soldiers and horses, spent money and food, and he picked up a ready-made one. Isn't this hateful?"
Lu Su said: "Please be patient. I will go to see Liu Bei in person and explain this truth. If it doesn't make sense, it will not be too late to use troops."
Everyone also felt that what Lu Su said made sense and said, "We think so!"
So Lu Su took some followers to Nanjun and went to the city to call for people.
Zhao Yun came out to ask, and Lu Su said: "I want to see your lord, and I have something important to say!"
Zhao Yun replied: "My lord and military advisor are not in Nanjun, but in Jingzhou!"
Without saying a word, Lu Su turned around and walked towards Jingzhou. Seeing the neatly arranged flags and the prosperous military appearance, he secretly said with envy: "Kong Ming is really a very powerful person!"
Some soldiers went to report the situation and said that Lu Su was here. Kong Ming immediately asked people to open the city gate and bring Lu Su into the government office. After saluting, the guests and hosts sat down.
Lu Su said: "My lord, as well as the governor Zhou Yu, asked me to remind the emperor again and again that Cao Cao brought millions of troops to attack Jiangnan. In fact, it was to kill Uncle Liu. Fortunately, my lord organized the troops to attack Cao Cao." After the troops retreated, all the nine counties in Jingzhou should belong to Soochow. Now the emperor's uncle used a trick to seize Jingzhou and Xiangyang, causing Jiangdong to spend a lot of effort in vain, while the emperor's uncle Liu gained the benefits empty-handed. This probably doesn't make sense."
Kong Ming said: "Lu Su, you are a wise man, how could you say such words? As the saying goes, everything returns to its original owner. The nine counties of Jingzhou are not the land of Soochow in the first place. They are the foundation of Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. My lord He is Liu Biao's younger brother from the same clan. Although Liu Biao has passed away, as his uncle, Liu Huangshu helped Liu Qi capture Jingzhou. How can it be said that it is unreasonable?"
Lu Su said: "If it is all occupied by the young master Liu Qi, then it can be said that the young master is obviously in Jiangxia and not here!"
Kong Ming said: "Are you ready to see the young master?" After saying that, he immediately ordered the young master to come out. Only two soldiers were seen helping Liu Qi out from the screen at the back.
Liu Qi bowed and said, "I feel a little unwell. I hope you won't blame me!"
Lu Su was very surprised and remained silent. After a while, he said, "What should we do if Mr. Liu Qi dies?"
Kong Ming said: "If the young master is here for one day, then he will guard for one day. If he is gone, then we will discuss it again!"
Lu Su said: "If the young master dies, you must return these cities to our Soochow."
Kong Ming nodded and said, "Just do as you say." So he set up a show to entertain Lu Su.
After dinner, Lu Su said goodbye, returned to the camp overnight, and told Zhou Yu everything.
Zhou Yu said: "Liu Qi was young, how could he die so soon? When will Jingzhou be returned?"
Lu Su said: "Captain, please rest assured that this matter is mine. I will definitely return Jingzhou and Xiangyang to Soochow."
