Chapter 541 Hopeful
"Zhuge's military master has a great reputation." Guizheng bowed to Zhuge Liang again, and then said: "The ancients said: 'If people don't have etiquette and righteousness, they will be chaotic, and if they don't know etiquette and righteousness, they will be disobedient. In the past, Sun Jian forced the governor of Jingzhou Wang (Rui) Tongyao to death, Sun Ce attacked Yangzhou Shepherd Liu (Yao) Zhengli, and Sun Quan murdered the governor of Sheng (Xian), father and son did the same."

In the Han Dynasty, when prefectures and prefectures were like states, and prefectures and prefectures were like monarchs, the Sun family, father and son, all had instances of persecuting assassins, shepherds, and prefects, which is very rare.

Guizheng continued: "Sun Jian still did the righteous deeds of destroying Dong Zhuo and recovering Luodu, but Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers have done nothing to the country.

Sun Cegan was Yuan Shu's minion, who helped the tyrants to abuse and invaded Jiangbiao. Therefore, the prefect of Lujiang Lu (Kang) Jining, the elder of the crown clan in Wujun, was well-known at home, and Sun Ce was attached to the rebels to attack and destroy the city. Therefore, the prefect of Hepu Wang Sheng, and Sun Jian There is a difference between being promoted to see his wife, but Sun Ce did not miss his old love and punished his family.As the saying goes, "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself." In the end, Sun Ce died at the hands of righteous men because of his rebellion and lack of morality, and he killed too many people.

Unexpectedly, after Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, he did not learn from his brother's lesson, but intensified his efforts, not only killing Lord Sheng, but also many celebrities and heroes of Wu and Hui.In addition, the army has been raised year after year, with more defeats and fewer victories. The people's strength has declined year by year and taxes and service have increased every year. The people in Jiangdong have suffered from the Sun family for a long time!

Therefore, we risked our lives to go west to Yuzhang, put on our hearts and minds, and earnestly hope that General Annan will raise righteous soldiers again, punish Sun Quan, and clarify Jiangdong!If this is the case, we will die without complaint! "

Gui made some speeches, which moved those who sat there. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sighed: "In the past, Xiang Yu destroyed Qin and Han, almost had the world, but he was defeated in Gaixia, and he killed himself in Wujiang, just to make fun of future generations. The reason is that the Sun family is so unkind, how can the foundation last long?"

Then Zhuge Liang changed the subject and said again: "However, although Sun's crimes are obvious, the scholars and the people complain about him, after all, he has gone through three generations, his foundation is solid, his wings are already full, and it may be difficult to get rid of him. You are all Jiangdong heroes, courageous and wise. I don't know if you have a plan in mind?"

GUI Zheng nodded and replied, "Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang, is just like his father and brother. They are brave and resolute, light and unprepared, and it is not difficult to get rid of them. Once Sun Yi dies, his brother will be the governor of Danyang, and he will be able to rule over all the states in Danyang. Ministry, put cronies, purge dissatisfied, and raise the county to respond to volunteer teachers."

"Good!" Sheng Kuang couldn't help but stand up against the table, and looked at Zhuge Liang eagerly, his excitement was beyond words: "Military Master, if this plan succeeds, then Sun Quan can do nothing, but guard the land of Wu and wait for death!"

No wonder Sheng Kuang is so excited. If Gui Lan, Dai Yuan and others can really kill Sun Yi, they don’t need to raise the entire county of Danyang (in fact, they don’t have the ability, after all, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu’s tens of thousands of troops are in the Spring Valley of Danyang) , They only need to turn against Wanling, the county city, and it is enough to deal a fatal blow to Sun Quan.

This is by no means an exaggeration. The geographical location of Wanling is extremely important, comparable to that of Jiangling in Jingzhou. If you go west, you can threaten Zhou Yu's camp in Chungu from behind; if you go east, you can approach the city of Wujun; The land, no matter which direction the attack is from, will be saved by Sun Quan.

If Wanling is successfully occupied, it is tantamount to directly pinching Sun Quan's "seven inches".

Zhuge Liang is also happy in his heart, but although he is young, he has a serious and determined personality, and his emotions and anger are invisible, so it is difficult for outsiders to see his true inner thoughts.Zhuge Liang nodded to Sheng Kuang with a smile, then turned to Guizheng and said, "With the help of the king, why worry about the big things not being done?"

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang asked about Danyang in detail. Guizheng started from Gui Lan and Dai Yuan, who were hired by Sun Yi to go out to seek revenge, and then several people conspired to meet Liu Jing in the west. Ping Dingma and Baoertun until the army dispersed.

During the period, Zhuge Liang asked questions from time to time, and Guizheng answered them one by one. The conversation lasted for more than an hour. Zhuge Liang had a plan in mind, and said to Guizheng: "The general ordered me to supervise Yangzhou and give me the right to do things cheaply. However, this matter is of great importance. , has exceeded my power and responsibility, and I still need to send someone to report to the general, and I ask the general to make a decision."

Guizheng also knew this, so there was no disappointment on his face, and he kindly reminded Zhuge Liang: "A husband's affairs are achieved with secrets, and words are used to reveal failures. Our plans are very big, and every day of delay will increase one point of leaks." The risk, our life and death is small, if Sun Quan is on guard, and the result falls short, it will be too late to regret.”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "What you said is true, I will send someone to quickly report to the general. At the same time, I will strengthen my troops in Chai Sang, raise grain, repair boats and vehicles, and increase combat equipment, waiting for the general's order."

Gui Zheng felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and complimented him: "Zhuge's military commander is calm when encountering major events, arranges military affairs in an orderly manner, and has a well-thought-out plan. He is also a good general in the real world. No wonder he can make great achievements in Jiangxi and Jiangxi. He is invincible. Let Sun Quan and his ministers change their countenance."

Zhuge Liang smiled and remained silent. During the few months he supervised Yangzhou, he heard such flattering words from time to time, and he was used to it.Then Zhuge Liang asked Sheng Kuang to entertain Guizheng into the pavilion to rest.

After Sheng Kuang and Wei left, Zhuge Liang asked Xu Shu and Yang Yi, "Yuan Zhi, Duke Wei, what do you think of this matter?"

Yang Yi was different from Sheng Kuang, he was always wary of the Wu people, and asked suspiciously: "Military Master, could this be the enemy's trick to lure our army into deep, and intentionally feign surrender?"

Zhuge Liang was noncommittal, and looked at Xu Shu again.

Xu Shulue pondered for a while, and said: "I think that Gui Lan and Dai Yuan are sincere followers. They are filial piety and honesty recommended by Sheng Xian, and their identities are sensitive. Although they are valued by Sun Yi, they are tabooed by Sun Quan. Unless one day Sun Yi is in charge of Jiangdong, there is little possibility of becoming an official. If he switches to our army, he will not only avenge his lord, but also have the opportunity to occupy a large county. Before that, Gui Zheng said: "The county will respond. "Regarding Danyang as a forbidden area, it seems that we don't want our army to intervene."

"How can this be left to them." Yang Yi pursed her thin lips, couldn't help snorting coldly, and said, "Could it be that they still want to separate Danyang? It's just a dream!"

Zhuge Liang thought that although Yang Yi's words were a bit harsh, they made sense. Wanling's geographical location was too important, and it must be firmly in his own hands.

Zhuge Liang said: "My opinion is the same as Yuan Zhi's. Gui Lan and Dai must sincerely rely on him. As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come. You must not hesitate at this time. I will write to the general to persuade him to send troops. "Speaking of the last, Zhuge Liang's mood was agitated, and it was hard to hold on to himself. He immediately left Xu Shu and Yang Yi behind, and returned to the back room to write vigorously, expressing his thoughts and thoughts in one go.

At the end of the letter, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Jing: "If you look at Wanling, there will be no change in the southeast. The general's hegemony can be achieved! Sheji is also expected!"
