Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang talked for a long time in the room, but no one knew what they said.
All I know is that as time goes by, hearty laughter often comes from the house.
In the evening, Sun Quan ordered a banquet to be held in honor of Zhuge Liang, and invited his civil and military confidants to accompany him.
On the next day, despite Sun Quan's extreme efforts to persuade him to stay, Zhuge Liang decided to leave and return to Yuzhang.
The military situation in Jingzhou is extremely urgent. One more day of delay will lead to one more day of uncertainty.
Sun Quan personally saw him off, but finally said goodbye to Zhuge Liang reluctantly.
On this mission to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang fulfilled his mission and successfully brought back Sun Quan's alliance letters.
Not only that, it also solved a huge problem for Sun Quan and a huge hidden danger for Jingzhou.
After a few months, Zhuge Liang once again used his personal power to kill three birds with one stone!
The satisfied Zhuge Liang was also eager to return home and quickly headed to Yuzhang relying on the convenience of ships.
On the afternoon of Zhuge Liang's departure, Zhou Yu also arrived at Shanyin.
After entering the city, Zhou Yu didn't see anyone, and he didn't dare to waste more than a quarter of an hour. He went directly to the prefect's mansion to ask for an audience with Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was deeply surprised by Zhou Yu's sudden arrival.
Since Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu was either suppressing the rebellion or training the navy in Chaisang, and Sun Quan rarely saw Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu came back just in time to tell him about the appointment of Jiangxia Prefect!
Gu Yong and others did not want to waste words with Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan was also afraid of conflicts between the two!
After weighing the situation, Sun Quan chose to meet Zhou Yu alone without anyone accompanying him.
"Brother Gongjin!"
When they were far away, Sun Quan took the initiative to go out to greet him, his attitude was extremely cordial!
Zhou Yu was extremely frightened and quickly stepped forward and bowed down.
"Zhou Yu pays homage to the lord!"
"Brother, why are you so polite to Quan?"
Sun Quan helped Zhou Yu up with his own hands and showed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Yu's courtesy.
Zhou Yu smiled, showing a hint of gratitude.
"Lord, etiquette cannot be abolished!"
"Brother, please come inside and talk!"
Sun Quan took Zhou Yu's arm very affectionately and walked side by side with him into the house.
"My lord, I heard that Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang came to ask for a meeting with my lord. Is this the case?"
Sun Quan had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Let's talk about it when we get to the house. We won't be idle while we walk!
"Haha, brother is really well-informed! Yes, Mr. Zhuge just left today."
Hearing the word "leave", Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat.
This time it was broken. Even though we were traveling day and night, we were still a step too late!
"Lord, why is Zhuge Liang here?"
The two of them had already entered the house. Sun Quan helped Zhou Yu sit down first, and then waved casually.
"It's nothing. It's just that Liu Bei wants to sue for peace."
"It just so happens that Jiangdong has just been pacified, and I don't want to expand the war."
"Since Liu Bei is willing to return Yuzhang and the whole army returns to Changsha, this is the best ending!"
Zhou Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Sun Quan again.
"Does my lord know that Liu Zhang led his army to attack Nanjun? Liu Bei is already about to be destroyed!"
"If Lu Xun is allowed to hold Liu Bei back and Yu Yu personally leads the army into Changsha, the four counties in Jingnan will be at your fingertips!"
Sun Quan didn't have any fluctuations on the surface, but in fact, his heart was filled with rage!
Zhou Yu is really determined to be evil this time and wants to take over Jingzhou immediately!
If it really goes as he wishes, will Jingzhou's surname be Sun or Zhou in the future?
"Haha, brother, don't be fooled by rumors!"
"Liu Zhang has been blocked in Yiling and cannot move forward at all!"
"Lu Xun's talent is mediocre and he can only be wasted with Liu Bei. Jingzhou's 50,000-strong army was unscathed!"
"If we force him to fight, the outcome is unknown..."
Listening to these words, Zhou Yu understood immediately.
Sun Quan must have made up his mind to call a truce with Liu Bei!
Zhou Yu was so angry that he almost stamped his feet and beat his chest!
It was obviously a God-given opportunity. The four counties of Jingnan were offered to him in vain, but Sun Quan didn't even want them!
"My lord, Yu has been observing the movements of the Yiling battlefield in Jiangxia. Liu Zhang has taken all the initiative. It is only a matter of time before he defeats Xu Shu!"
"There is also Lu Xun. This man is talented and definitely not an ordinary person! If he restrains Liu Bei, it will be enough to prevent Liu Bei from returning to Changsha easily!"
"As long as the lord is willing, Yu will definitely seize the opportunity and expand the territory for the lord!"
Zhou Yu was unwilling to give in and couldn't help but speak again.
If Lu Xun hadn't been needed to contain Liu Bei, he would have done it himself!
Sun Quan had already made up his mind, how could Zhou Yu convince him with just a few words.
What's more, even if Sun Quan doesn't want Jingzhou, he can't let Zhou Yu take Jingzhou.
"Brother, keep Liu Bei to stop Liu Zhang for us, otherwise we will have to face Liu Zhang alone in the future."
"This is also the result of my careful consideration, so there is no need to discuss it further!"
Zhou Yu was extremely disappointed. He did not expect that Sun Quan would not even think about his suggestion.
If you miss such a good opportunity, it may be difficult to get it again!
Moreover, Zhou Yu estimated that Liu Zhang did not have the strength to capture the entire Jingzhou, and at most Nanjun, or even all of Nanjun.
Now is the best time for Jiangdong to occupy Jingzhou, and it may even be the only chance!
"My lord, Liu Zhang seems to be powerful, but in fact he is extremely empty inside!"
"After experiencing successive bloody battles in Yongliang, our elite strength has long been exhausted!"
"As long as we can capture Jingzhou, we will no longer be afraid of anyone, including Liu Zhang and Cao Cao!"
Sun Quan quickly raised his hand and put it in front of Zhou Yu. He no longer wanted to hear these heroic words.
"Brother, there is no need to say more about this matter. I have already given the alliance letter with Liu Bei to Zhuge Liang."
"Brother doesn't want me to be a person who breaks my word, right?"
Zhou Yu suddenly felt that his chest was depressed and it became extremely difficult to breathe.
At this time, he missed Sun Ce!
How could Sun Ce waste such a good opportunity when he was here?
At that time, the Huaisi faction and Sun Ce joined forces to cross the river, attack Liu Yao, destroy Yan Baihu, and drive away Wang Lang. How majestic and majestic was it?
What Gu Lu Zhu Zhang? What Jiangdong family?
They all hunkered down, just trying to get food and clothing!
They don't even dare to say a word publicly, so how can they dare to talk nonsense and interfere in military and national affairs?
If Sun Ce was here, how could Liu Bei be allowed to escape Yuzhang safe and sound?
If Sun Ce were here, not to mention the four counties in Jingnan, the entire Jingzhou would be at his fingertips!
Only by straddling Yangzhou and Jingzhou and completely occupying the natural chasm of the Yangtze River can we be completely invincible!
But Sun Quan just didn't understand this.
The root of everything still lies with the Jiangdong family!
If it weren't for the damn Jiangdong clan, if they hadn't tried every means to harm him, how could Sun Ce have died young?
Sun Ce was dead, and Sun Quan relied heavily on them. Jiangdong became more and more unfamiliar to Zhou Yu. . .
Just when Zhou Yu was depressed, Sun Quan spoke again. "Brother, I have something to discuss with my brother!"
"My lord, please speak..."
Zhou Yu lowered his head, showing no interest at all.
Sun Quan didn't care at all, and there was still a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Brother Cai just said that Lu Xun is extremely talented. I want Lu Xun to take over the post of Jiangxia Prefect. What do you think, brother?"
Zhou Yu raised his head instantly, his face full of anger!
