Zhuge Liang was talking eloquently here, but Zheng Du, who was sitting opposite him, frowned more and more.
Until the end, Zheng Du finally seemed to be unable to listen to a certain sentence.
"Prime Minister, although you and I are not close friends, we are still in this situation by working together.
Why...why didn't you tell the truth to Dudu today?
Let’s not talk about whether Jiaozhou is good or bad. Just the situation in Jiaozhou is not something we can win now!
If the Prime Minister said that this time he was going to make the prince famous all over the world, then I really think that the Prime Minister is very capable.
But now...Isn't the Prime Minister just boasting?
How capable does this prince have to be to be able to do such a thing at this time? To be so capable?
Capture Jiaozhou?
Just rely on the thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of the prince, and just rely on the little bit of the Nashi family?
Although I don't think highly of the people from Jiangdong, to be honest, even if they are thieves and rats, they are much better than other small forces in the world.
How dare this mere Jiaozhou cause trouble for Sun Zhongmou?
To put it bluntly, Sun Zhongmou was a bit stupid in terms of military strategy, and Lu Xun was dragged to Jingnan by Li Yan.
But even so, I don't think this Jiaozhou can change hands!
It's one thing to take advantage and escape from Jiaozhou, but it's another thing to want to occupy Jiaozhou. "
When Zheng Du said this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Today's Han Dynasty also has its own set of behaviors, that is, Liu Bei is in charge of the overall situation, Zhuge Liang formulates strategies, and Zheng Du implements them.
Among them, Liu Bei controlled the direction and still had absolute control over the big man. As the prime minister, Zhuge Liang was extremely talented and his ability was unanimously recognized by the big man.
And having Zhuge Liang set the direction can also ensure that the Han's goal is always to unify the world.
But this goal is too ambitious, even so ambitious that it is somewhat unrealistic.
So Zheng Du wanted to bring him back.
Use a more realistic way to achieve their goals, which is how it is handled today.
But under this strategy, one person's situation is completely different, that is the Han prince Liu Chan!
From the beginning to the end, from entering Jiangdong to now entering Jiaozhou, he not only received no support from Liu Bei, but also did not receive any specific help from him.
It can be said that just because of some of Zhuge Liang's plans, he went deep into the almost desperate situation in Jiaozhou.
The crown prince of a country actually trusted this great Han Prime Minister so much, and he believed so sincerely...
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zheng Du would never have believed it in his dreams.
At this time, Zheng Du's eyes looking forward slowly became weird, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at Zhuge Kongming in front of him.
"Prime Minister, I have no intention of inquiring into the relationship between you and His Highness, but what I want to say is, is the Prime Minister's goal Jiaozhou or Nanzhong?"
"....Why did Mr. Zheng suddenly think like this?"
"Your Highness is going to Jieyang in the South China Sea. Logically speaking, Jieyang is located on the edge of the South China Sea and is close to Kuaiji in Jiangdong.
It has nothing to do with Nanzhong.
Of course, I would not think of Nanzhong, and Sun Quan would certainly not think of Nanzhong either.
But... if His Highness used Jieyang as a guise, and then he entered Jiaozhi and directly swallowed up the Jiaozhou scholar's family.
Then wouldn't it be the road to Nanzhong that was exchanged for it?
With the soldiers and horses from Jiaozhou as backup, they can then enter Nanzhong from the rear. They can reach directly behind the Nanzhong rebels by taking the waterway.
And now that we are all in Hanzhong, the Nanzhong rebels must think that Your Majesty is unable to destroy them.
If they are lucky, they will directly face His Highness's sneak attack. Although there are not many soldiers around His Highness, the generals are the best among the best.
A sneak attack was enough to cause them heavy losses.
If their luck is not good enough, then...they may also face their own internal strife.
At the same time, there are also attacks from the front and back by His Majesty or you, Zhuge Kongming, and that Highness.
In the huge Nanzhong, there were hundreds of thousands of barbarians.
If you, Zhuge Kongming, can move out all these barbarians, even a part of them, it will greatly relieve the energy of the two battles between Hanzhong and Yiling. "
After Zheng Du finished speaking, he directly pulled over the map of Jiaozhou, and then thought about it carefully.
"His Highness's march this time, Ma Su, a subordinate of Qin's family who joined the army, also went with him.
This Ma Su...I know him.
To be honest, he still has some abilities, especially when it comes to people's hearts, he is very talented.
If this person wasn't too proud, arrogant, and lacking in courage, I'm afraid he could become a big business in the future..."
"Ahem...Although Youchang has some problems, his abilities and talents are extremely outstanding.
It's not as unbearable as you said..."
Zhuge Liang, who was still smiling, was suddenly stimulated by Zheng Du's words and coughed repeatedly.
However, although he said good things to Ma Su, he retorted... but there was no rebuttal.
Looking at the smile on Zhuge Liang's face, Zheng Du also knew that this might be one of his plans.
As the communication with Zhuge Liang deepened, Zheng Du also discovered that Zhuge Liang was good at everything, but he had one stinking problem.
He always likes to hold back when doing things and doesn't tell anything clearly. He will use all his means at the last moment.
The surprise...it was a real surprise.
But during this process, Zheng Du always felt something bad...
Seeing Zheng Du's frown, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not that Liang refuses to speak up about this matter, the main reason is that Liang's strategy... is really not very kind.
It doesn't matter to others, but to you, Mr. Zheng..."
"Why is Prime Minister doing this?
It’s just a plot against Nishikawa’s family! "At this time, Zheng Du couldn't help but snorted coldly, "This time, besides Deng Zhi, Zhang Bao, Dong Yun and other confidants, His Highness is surrounded.
In fact, the real generals are all from the Yizhou lineage.
It is good for Your Majesty to reactivate the Yizhou line, but...if this Yizhou line does this, its power will grow again.
And you and I both know very well that now His Majesty only has a small part of Yizhou, just like back then Jiangdong only had more than half of Yangzhou.
Once the local wealthy family becomes too powerful, it will not be a good thing for the court.
Jiangdong must expand to find someone to replace Jianghuai's children.
Your Majesty, you must also find a way to suppress the local forces in Xichuan while ensuring the reuse of generals in Xichuan...
The Prime Minister's use of His Highness's battle is also to allow the children of Dongzhou and Jingzhou to quickly stand firm in the court, right? "
