Taking stock of the counselor rankings, Guo Jia only ranks at the bottom?

Zhuge Liang said:"Although Yuzhou suffered a great defeat, Guan Yunchang still commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and

Liu Qi led Jiangxia soldiers, no less than ten thousand people.

Cao Cao's soldiers came from afar and were exhausted.

Recently, in order to pursue Yuzhou, Qingqi ran day and night. More than three hundred miles, this is the end of what is often said to be a strong crossbow, and even the thin silk of Lu's land cannot penetrate.

Moreover, the northern soldiers are not adapted to water warfare.

The people of Jingzhou relied on Cao Cao because of the situation, not out of sincerity.

Now the general and If Yuzhou works together, they will definitely be able to defeat Cao Jun. If

Cao Jun is defeated, he will definitely return to the north.

Then Jingzhou and Soochow will become stronger and form a tripartite force.

The timing of success or failure depends on the general's decision today. General, please think twice. After hearing this ,

Sun Quan said happily:"Sir's words made me enlightened. I've made up my mind, no need to doubt anymore. Let’s discuss raising troops today to destroy Cao Cao together! So he ordered Lu Su to notify the civil and military officials of this intention and send Zhuge Liang back to the post to rest.

Zhang Zhao learned that Sun Quan was going to raise an army, so he discussed with everyone:"My lord has fallen into Kong Ming's plan!"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly went to see Sun Quan and said,"We heard that your lord is going to raise an army to fight against Cao Cao."

How does the Lord think he compares with Yuan Shao?

In the past, Cao Cao was able to destroy Yuan Shao with only a small army but few generals.

How could he underestimate Yuan Shao now that he was leading millions of troops to march south?

If you listen to Zhuge Liang and start a war rashly, it will be like carrying firewood to put out a fire. Sun

Quan bowed his head and said nothing.

Gu Yong said:"Because Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, he wanted to use my Jiangdong troops to fight against the enemy."

How could the lord be used by him? Please listen to Zibu. Sun

Quan was still undecided.

Zhang Zhao and others went out, and Lu Su came in to see Sun Quan and said:

"Just now Zhang Zibu and others persuaded the lord not to use troops and urged surrender.

This was all to protect himself and his subordinates and to find a way out for himself.

Please don't listen to them, my lord. Sun

Quan was still undecided.

Lu Su said,"If my lord hesitates, he will be misled by everyone."

Sun Quan said,"Please step back first and let me think twice.""

Lu Su then withdrew.

At this time, some military officers wanted to go to war, and all civil servants wanted to surrender, and the two factions were talking a lot.

Sun Quan retreated into the inner house, restless and undecided.

Seeing Sun Quan's behavior, Wu Guotai asked:"What's on your mind? , so trouble sleeping and eating?

Sun Quan said:"Now Cao Cao is stationing troops in Jianghan and intends to attack Jiangnan."

I asked the civil and military officials for their opinions. Some wanted to surrender, while others wanted to go to war.

I wanted to fight and was worried about being outnumbered.

I wanted to surrender, but I was worried that Cao Cao wouldn't be able to tolerate me. Hence the indecision.

Wu Guotai said:"Don't you remember what your brother said to you before he died?""

Sun Quan woke up from a drunken state, as if waking up from a dream, and thought of these words.

Those were Sun Ce and Sun Bofu's last words:

If you are not sure about internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao, and if you are not sure about foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu.

But now we have reached such a critical juncture.

Why not Inviting Gong Jin to inquire?

Sun Quan thought of Zhou Yu.

He was overjoyed and immediately sent an envoy to Poyang to ask Zhou Yu to come to discuss the matter.

Zhou Yu was training naval forces in Poyang Lake and heard that Cao Cao's army had arrived in Hanshang (the name of the Han River Basin).

He rushed back to Chaisang overnight to discuss military matters.

Before Sun Quan's envoy set out, Zhou Yu had already arrived.

Lu Su had the best relationship with Zhou Yu and was the first to see Zhou Yu and told Zhou Yu in detail what had happened before.

Zhou Yu said :"Don't worry, Zi Jing, I have my own ideas. Hurry up and invite Kong Ming to come and meet you."

Lu Su mounted his horse and left.

Zhou Yu had just rested when he suddenly reported that Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhang Hong, and Bu Zhi had come to visit.

Zhou Yu welcomed them to sit down in the hall, and after greeting them,

Zhang Zhao said:"The governor knows the situation in Jiangdong. What are the pros and cons? Zhou Yu said,"

I don't know."

Zhang Zhao said:"Cao Cao has a million troops and is stationed in Han Dynasty."

A message was sent here yesterday, asking the Lord to hunt in Jiangxia.

Although Cao Cao intends to annex Jiangdong, he has not yet fully demonstrated it.

We advise the lord to surrender to avoid bringing disaster to Jiangdong.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zijing invited Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang here from Jiangxia.

Zhuge Liang himself wanted to take advantage of Jiangdong's troops to take revenge, so he went out of his way to provoke his lord with words.

Zijing was obsessed with it. Everyone is waiting for the governor to make up his mind.

Zhou Yu said:"Do you all have the same opinion?"

Gu Yong and others said:"We all have the same opinion."

Zhou Yu said:"I have wanted to surrender for a long time."

Please come back. I will see my lord tomorrow morning and make my own decision."

Zhang Zhao and others said goodbye and left.

Not long after, they reported to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other generals to see them.

Zhou Yu welcomed them in and expressed their condolences.

Cheng Pu said:"Does the governor know that Jiangdong will belong to others sooner or later? Zhou Yu said,"

I don't know.""

Cheng Pu said:"We followed General Sun to establish the foundation, and fought hundreds of battles, large and small, before we obtained the six counties and cities.

Now the lord listens to the advice of the counselor and wants to surrender to Cao Cao.

This is so shameful and such a pity!

I would rather die than suffer such shame.

Please ask the governor to persuade your lord to decide to raise an army. We are willing to fight to the death.

Zhou Yu said:"Do the generals all agree?" Huang

Gai stood up excitedly, patted his forehead with his hand and said:

"I can cut off my head, but I swear not to surrender to Cao Cao!"

Everyone said:"We are not willing to surrender to Cao Cao!

Zhou Yu said:"I was about to fight Cao Cao, how could I surrender!" Generals, please come back. When I met my lord, I made my own decision."

Cheng Pu and others resigned.

Not long after, Zhuge Jin, Lu Fan and other civil servants were waiting outside the door. Zhou Yu welcomed them in and the ceremony was completed.

Zhuge Jin said:"My brother Zhuge Liang came from Han Dynasty and said that Liu Yuzhou wanted to fight with Dong Wu united to attack Cao Cao, but the civil and military officials disagreed.

Because my brother is an envoy, I dare not express my opinion and am waiting for the governor to decide the matter.

Zhou Yu asked:"What do you think of this situation?"

Zhuge Jin said:"It is easy to gain peace by surrendering, but it is difficult to protect the territory in a decisive battle."

Zhou Yu smiled and said,"I have my own opinion." Let's go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to make a decision."

Zhuge Jin and others said goodbye and left.

Suddenly Lu Meng, Gan Ning and others came to see them. Zhou Yu invited them in to talk about this matter.

Some wanted to fight decisively, some wanted to surrender, and they argued with each other.

Zhou Yu said:"No need to say more. We'll all go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to discuss it."

Everyone then said goodbye and left. Zhou Yu kept sneering.

At night, Lu Su brought Zhuge Liang to visit. Zhou Yu went out to greet him at the middle door.

After the ceremony, everyone sat down separately.

Lu Su first asked Zhou Yu:"Now Cao Cao is leading his troops to invade the south. , whether peace or war, the lord can't make up his mind, he will definitely listen to the general. What is the general's opinion?

Zhou Yu said:"Cao Cao is marching in the name of the emperor and cannot be resisted." Moreover, his army is powerful and cannot be underestimated.

You will lose in a decisive battle, but surrender can bring peace.

I have made up my mind. When I see my lord tomorrow, I will ask him to send an envoy to ask for surrender.

Lu Su said in astonishment:"What are you talking about?"

Jiangdong's foundation has gone through three generations, how could it be handed over to others overnight?

Bo Fu's last words were to entrust foreign affairs to the general.

Now we are relying on the general to protect the country.

You are the pinnacle of Jiangdong. How could you listen to the advice of those cowards? Zhou

Yu said:"There are countless people in the six counties of Jiangdong. If the people encounter war and disaster, they will definitely resent me, so I decided to surrender."

Lu Su said:"This is wrong." With the general's wisdom and prowess, and the dangerous terrain of Soochow, Cao Cao may not be able to succeed."

The two debated with each other, but Zhuge Liang just looked on with a sneer. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Zhou Yu asked:"Why are you laughing, sir?

Zhuge Liang said:"I'm not laughing at others, I'm just laughing at Zi Jing for not understanding current affairs."

Lu Su said:"Why do you think that I don't understand current affairs?"

Zhuge Liang said:"Gong Jin is determined to surrender to Cao Cao, which is very reasonable."

Zhou Yu said:"Kong Ming is a man who understands current affairs, and his thoughts must be the same as mine.""[]

Lu Su said:"Kong Ming, why do you say that?"

Zhuge Liang said:"Cao Cao is very good at using troops, and no one in the world can defeat him.

In the past, only Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao dared to fight against him, but now these people have all been defeated. After Cao Cao was destroyed, there was no one left in the world.

Only Liu Yuzhou did not understand the current affairs and insisted on competing with him. Now he retreated to Jiangxia, with no guarantee of life and death.

The general was determined to surrender to Cao, which could not only save the family but also the wealth.

The fate of the country It's no shame to leave it to fate!"

After hearing this, Lu Su was furious and said,"You are allowing my lord to be humiliated at the knees of the country's thieves!"

Zhuge Liang said,"I have a plan. There is no need to lead sheep, carry wine, accept soil and offer seals. , there is no need to cross the river in person to ask for surrender.

You only need to send an envoy to send two people across the river by boat.

Once Cao Cao gets these two people, his army of millions will disarm and roll up the flag and retreat."

Zhou Yu asked:"Which two taels should I use? Can I personally retreat Cao Cao's troops?"

Zhuge Liang said:"Jiangdong abandoning these two people is like a leaf falling from a big tree, or a grain of millet missing from Taicang.

Cao Cao will be happy to retreat after getting it."

Zhou Yu asked again:"Which two are they? Personally?"

Zhuge Liang said:"When I lived in Longzhong, I heard that Cao Cao built a new Bronze Bird Tower in Zhanghe River.

The public has two daughters, the eldest daughter is called Da Qiao, and the younger daughter is called Xiao Qiao. They both have the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and the moon is shy of flowers. Cao Cao once swore: My first wish is to conquer the world and achieve imperial status; second My first wish is to get two Qiao from Jiangdong and place them on the Tongque Tower for enjoyment in my later years. Even if I die, I will have no regrets.

Although Cao Cao led millions of people to look at Jiangnan with covetousness, it was actually because of these two women.

Why didn’t the general go to find Qiao Gong? Use a thousand gold to buy these two girls and send someone to give them to Cao Cao. Cao Cao will be satisfied with these two girls and will definitely teach him.

This is Fan Li's plan to offer gifts to Xi Shi. Why not act quickly?"

Zhou Yu said:"Cao Cao wants to get two Qiao. What certificate?"

Zhuge Liang said:

"Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Zhi, also known as Zijian, was very good at writing articles.

Cao Cao once ordered him to write a poem called"Tongquetai Fu".

The main idea in the poem is that he wants to become the emperor and vows to get Erqiao.

Zhou Yu said:"Do you still remember the content of this poem?"

Zhuge Liang said:"I like the gorgeousness of this article and have memorized it in private."

Zhou Yu said:"Please try to recite it and listen to it.""

Zhuge Liang then spoke, facing Zhou Yu, and began to recite Cao Zhi's"Ode to the Bronze Que Terrace":

In order to anger Zhou Yu and make him fight Cao Cao,

Zhuge Liang recited the words"Lian Zhi" from Cao Zhi's"Ode to the Bronze Que Terrace"."The two bridges stand between the east and west, like shrimps and salamanders in the sky." It was directly changed to"take the two bridges to the east and west, and enjoy sharing them day and night."

Cao Cao built the Bronze Bird Tower, with two jade dragons and golden phoenixes on both sides. The bridge connects the three platforms.

The original text"Lian Er Bridge" should refer to these two bridges.

This sentence was originally describing the grandeur of the Tongque Terrace, but after Zhuge Liang slightly modified it, it became Cao Cao holding Er Qiao in his arms and having fun day and night in the Tongque Terrace.

Xiao Qiao was Zhou Yu’s wife. After hearing this, Zhou Yu was naturally furious.

He left his seat, waved his long sword, pointed at the north and cursed:

"Thief Cao is lustful, this old thief bullied me too much! Zhuge

Liang quickly stood up to stop him and said:

"In the past, the Chanyu repeatedly violated the border, and the Han emperor promised to marry the princess.

Why do you care about the two women among the people?

Zhou Yu said:"You don't know something: Da Qiao is the wife of General Sun Bofu, and Xiao Qiao is my wife."

Zhuge Liang pretended to be panicked and said,"I really don't know about this."

If you slip up and say the wrong thing,

I will be punished by death! capital offense!"

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said angrily:"I, Zhou Gongjin, and the old traitor are at odds with each other!

Zhuge Liang said:"You have to think twice about this matter to avoid regret."

Zhou Yu said:"I am entrusted by Bo Fu.

How can I surrender to Cao Cao?"

What I just said was just to test you.

Zhuge Liang said:"If you don't mind it, I am willing to do the work of a dog and horse for you to drive."

Zhou Yu said,"I will go to see the lord tomorrow to discuss raising an army.""

Zhuge Liang bid farewell to Lu Suopen.

And this is Zhuge Liang's wisdom that inspired Zhou Yu in another miracle!! Everyone was speechless after seeing the scene where Zhuge Liang inspired Zhou Yu with his wisdom.

"Zhuge Liang is really good at this. He actually used Zhou Yu's wife as a provocation to provoke Zhou Yu.

No wonder Zhou Yu was so excited!!"

"Although it seems that Zhuge Liang made this up, let me see.

Based on Cao Mengde's character as a good wife, it is estimated that after capturing Jiangdong.

It is estimated that they will definitely get Xiao Qiao and others.

From this point of view, Zhuge Liang did not say anything wrong!!"

Zhou Yu in Lujiang County.

Seeing Zhou Yu's wisdom, he was not angry. Instead

, he couldn't help laughing.

"But I didn’t expect that Kong Ming would have such a little Jiujiu"

"But in this case, I can join forces with Kong Ming to deal with Cao Mengde!!"

"If the two of us join forces, then how can Cao Cao be our opponent?"

Cao Cao saw this scene, but his face became extremely ugly. He couldn't help but said helplessly:"I didn't expect that Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming would tamper with the content of my Tongque Taiwen at will. It is really too cunning."

"But it’s not Zhou Yu’s fault, my reputation as a good wife is too well-known!!"

Everyone is talking, but the scene is still going on.

After Zhou Yu, the Dinghai Shenzhen of Soochow, returned to Chaisang,

Zhuge Liang made rumors about Er Qiao to anger Zhou Yu.

Early the next morning, Sun Quan ascended to the court.

On the left, civil servants Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other thirty The remaining people, including the military attachés Cheng Pu and Huang Gai on the right, and more than thirty people, stood in separate groups.

Zhou Yu entered the hall to pay homage to Sun Quan. After the ceremony,

Sun Quan expressed condolences to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said:"I heard that Cao Cao was stationed in Han Dynasty and sent a letter here. Lord, What do you think?"

Sun Quan ordered someone to take out the memorandum and show it to Zhou Yu.

After reading it, Zhou Yu said with a smile:

"That old thief Cao Cao thinks that we have no one in Jiangdong, so he dares to insult us like this!

Sun Quan said,"What do you think?"

Zhou Yu said,"Has your lord discussed it with the civil and military officials?"

Sun Quan said:"We are discussing every day. Some people advise me to surrender, while others advise me to fight decisively."

I can't decide, so I ask Gong Jin to decide.

Zhou Yu asked:"Who advised the lord to surrender?"

Sun Quan said:"Zhang Zibu and others all advocated surrender.""

Zhou Yu said to Zhang Zhao:"I want to hear the reasons why you advocate surrender."
