Chapter 282

Inn, Cheng Yu's room.

During the day, watching Liu Xiu's soldiers perform martial arts, Cheng Yu's heart is also full of ups and downs.

In my heart, there is also a worry.

I didn't expect that Liu Xiugang was in charge of Jingzhou, and his forces were so strong.

When Liu Xiu was in Jingzhou, he had a great influence on Cao Cao's going south. However, Cao Cao did not decide the strategy of Bashu, Jingzhou and Jiangdong according to Guo Jia's instructions at the time of his death. Instead, he was determined to seize Jingzhou and Sun Quan. In Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were not afraid as long as they defeated Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

To pacify the world is a matter of course.

Therefore, Cao Cao's strategy is still to fix Jingzhou and Jiangdong first.

Sitting in the room, Cheng Yu is writing an article about what he saw and heard during his stay in Jingzhou, and how he feels about Liu Xiu and Jingzhou.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, outside the room.

The attendant said, "my Lord, Zhang Zhao asked to see you."

"Please

Cheng Yu put down the brush, put away the bamboo slips, and then wait quietly. It's very late now. I didn't expect Zhang Zhao to come to him. It seems that Zhang Zhao was scared out of courage by his martial arts performance during the day.

Before Zhang Zhao came to visit, he was disappointed and returned. Now he comes again, I'm afraid he lost his confidence.

Soon, Zhang Zhao came to the room.

After sitting down, Zhang Zhao didn't make a detour and said directly, "what do you think of Zhongde Gong seeing Liu Xiu's soldiers performing martial arts today?"

Cheng Yu said: "Liu Xiu's soldiers are all elite and can be called the division of hundred battles."

Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "it's more than elite. It's just ferocious. In particular, the rhubarb crossbow and catapult under Liu Xiu's command are a sharp weapon to kill people. Liu Xiu has such a sharp weapon. It's frightening! "

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "that's true. Liu Xiu is very strong. He has a hard time in Jingzhou and Jiangdong."

In a word, Zhang Zhao's eyes showed a trace of dignity.

Zhang Zhao changed his words and said: "Liu Xiu is so arrogant. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, Liu Xiu will be in more trouble at that time, which is also a great threat to Cao Gong. I think we should send troops to attack Liu Xiu as soon as possible. I suggest that Cao Jun and Jiangdong jointly attack Jingzhou. "

After hearing this, Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Duke Zhang, there is only one way to unite with the imperial court. I told you during the day that Sun Quan should send protons to Xu county. In this way, the Lord will send troops. Even if it's not ready, it will cooperate with you. "

Zhang Zhao frowned and was controlled by Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu didn't let go at all, which made Zhang Zhao a little embarrassed. At present, the momentum of Jingzhou is like a rainbow, while the situation in Jiangdong is tense. It is necessary to suppress Liu Xiu's arrogance.

Otherwise, the situation in Jiangdong will be very difficult.

Seeing that Zhang Zhao's expression had changed, Cheng Yu knew that the other party might be moved, and continued to persuade him: "Mr. Zhang, no matter how strong Liu Xiu is, he is only strong in Jingzhou. Can he still attack Sikong?"

"You must see that Sikong's occupation of the north is already threatening the general situation, and no one can defeat him."

"Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu can't resist Sikong."

Cheng Yu was very confident and said: "similarly, I am not exaggerating to say that no one in Jiangdong could resist the army of Sikong. It's time for Jiangdong to show his sincerity when he claims to be a minister to Sikong. Mr. Zhang, what do you think? "

Zhang Zhao's heart is also a tangle.

In Zhang Zhao's eyes, he did not think that Liu Xiu and Sun Quan could resist Cao Cao, and he also thought that obedience was the best choice.

Zhang zhaoshen took a breath and said, "Mr. Zhong De, when I return to Jiangdong, I will tell you the key. Then, give a reply to Sikong. "

"Good!"

Cheng Yu's eyes show a trace of smile.

Seeing Zhang Zhao leave, Cheng Yu knows that it must be a success to win over Jiangdong.

As for the so-called proton dispatch, if Sun Quan agrees, that is the best result. If Sun Quan resolutely refuses to send protons, Cao Cao will also agree to unite with Sun Quan, because Cao Cao can not push Sun Quan to the opposite.

After Zhang Zhao left his room, he went to Zhuge Liang's Inn.

Outside the room, Zhang Zhao knocked on the door.

Zhuge Liang opened the door and saw Zhang Zhao standing at the door. With a pick of his brow, a smile rose in his heart. Then he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, please come inside."

Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuge, please!"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, please!"

When they entered the room and sat down, Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Zhang Gongshen came to release at night. What's the matter?"

Zhang Zhao said, "I'm here for uncle Liu."

With a smile on his lips, Zhuge Liang said, "my Lord, uncle Liu, everything is well. I don't know what Mr. Zhang is doing for him." Zhuge Liang was very proficient in this tone and way of speaking.He had already guessed the purpose of Zhang Zhaolai, so he was more determined in his heart, without a trace of panic.

Whoever can be stable will take the lead.

Zhang Zhao looked serious and said: "last time, uncle Liu coerced his eldest son Liu Qi to support himself as a herdsman in Jingzhou, Wuling county and Nanjun County responded. But in an instant, Liu's offensive was put out, and even Liu and Liu Qi took the initiative to issue a statement, saying that they respected Liu Xiu. "

"I don't know what happened that made uncle Liu lose the best opportunity. I don't want to know now."

"But uncle Liu's current situation is rather delicate."

Zhang Zhao zhengse said: "Xinye is in a position of four wars. The north is Cao's army, and the south is Liu Xiu, who wants to get rid of it. Mr. Kong Ming, if you don't pay attention to uncle Liu's place, you are in danger of overturning. With Mr. Kong Ming's wisdom, I think I know this precarious situation. "

Zhuge Liang began to laugh, with a confident look on his face.

Zhang Zhao asked, "why is Mr. Kong Ming laughing?"

Zhuge Liang replied, "the reason is very simple. The questions mentioned by Duke Zhang are not questions."

Zhang Zhao said: "Mr. Kong Ming is too confident! Is it true what I said. It's not Mr. Kong Ming's style to tell lies with his eyes open. "

Zhuge Liang said, "Mr. Zhang, my words can stand up to scrutiny."

"First, it is true and true that Xinye has four battlefields. But from Xinye, you can attack Cao thief in the north and retreat into Xiangyang in the south. My lord retreated to Jingzhou. Did Liu Xiu dare to stop him? "

"Second, the bandits of Cao are covetous, which is also true. But the best strategy in the art of war is to subdue people without fighting. Our Lord stands between the Cao bandits and Jingzhou. The Cao bandits are threatening on the surface, but in fact they are contacting secretly, hoping that our Lord will lead the army to surrender. "

"Third, Liu Xiu wanted to get rid of it quickly, which was wrong. My Lord, uncle Liu, came from the royal family. Liu Xiu is also a patriarch of the Han Dynasty. He has the same goal, that is to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Although they have different ideas and some differences, they are not going to kill each other and take advantage of Cao Cao. "

Zhuge Liang vowed confidently: "Mr. Zhang, the situation of our Lord seems delicate, but in fact it is as solid as gold. Our position is stable and there is no threat."

"Ha ha ha..."

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and showed a smile on his face. He said in admiration: "Mr. Kong Ming is eloquent, and Zhang Zhao is very impressed."

Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan with a deep look.

However, on the surface, he was like this, but in his heart, he also sighed. Now Liu Bei's situation is really very bad. The so-called Cao Jun's contact with Liu Bei in private is just his fabrication. Cao Cao treats Liu Bei now. That's what he really wants. He doesn't want to recruit Liu Bei.

Zhang Zhao then said, "Mr. Kong Ming, dare you ask Uncle Liu if he is willing to surrender to Cao thief?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "nature is impossible."

Zhang Zhao said: "in that case, it's very clear. No matter how the thief Cao sent people to contact him in private, uncle Liu could not surrender. So in the end, we have to fight Cao thief. But with uncle Liu's forces, can he resist Cao's army? Mr. Kong Ming has a good tongue, but I don't think such a thing can resist the thief Cao without opening his mouth. "

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Cao thief is powerful and not impeccable."

This, however, is not strong enough.

This time, Zhang Zhao came here with the attitude of seeking survival.

He arched his hand to show weakness and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, uncle Liu is in a delicate situation. It's very difficult for us to stay in Jiangdong. During the day, Liu Xiu's elite, you have seen, such an elite, is simply a weapon of war. It's very hard to resist. So I hope that Jiangdong and uncle Liu will unite to attack Jingzhou and get rid of their respective threats. "

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a trace of emotion.

This proposal is very good.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, since we want to attack and defend each other, I think the best way is not to make it public. Jiangdong is in the Ming Dynasty and Xinye is in the dark. At that time, it can play the biggest effect. What does Mr. Zhang think? "

Zhang Zhao sneered in his heart. He understood Zhuge Liang's intention, which was to avoid Xinye from getting into trouble. But once Liu Bei attacks Liu Xiu, everything will be revealed to the world. Can it be hidden?

However, Zhang Zhao did not tear it down.

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Mr. Kong Ming's consideration is very good. Since we are going to unite, I think we need to have further face-to-face talks to discuss the time of attacking Jingzhou together. What does Mr. Kong Ming think? "

Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Gong's words are reasonable. I have to go back to Xinye to report to my Lord."

Zhang Zhao was relieved and said with a smile, "that's it. I'll send someone to contact uncle Liu as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then personally sent Zhang Zhao away.
