After all, it's for profit.

The big family headed by the Zhang family probably shares the same idea as Zhang Zhao.

Surrender to Cao Cao, not only did they have no losses, but also brought huge benefits to their own family.

This is the nature of the nobility.

Lu Su himself was a member of the nobility, so he knew the way.

But have you ever thought about where you will place the lord by doing this?

Seeing that Lu Su was silent, Zhang Zhao smiled, turned to look at Sun Quan, bent down and bowed deeply: "I also ask the lord to obey the will of God and surrender to the Han court."

"Please obey the will of God and surrender to the Han court!!!"

Behind Zhang Zhao, all the civil servants knelt down and shouted incessantly, their voices resounding throughout the hall.

of course.

Many of these people are not from the gentry, and the reason why they are so active is because of the letters sent by Cao Cao.

It has to be said that Boss Cao's means of winning people's hearts are much more brilliant than Yuan Shao's, and the souls of these people are all hooked to Cao Ying with just a few words in the letter.

This led to.

The entire Jiangdong Wenchen Group has one idea: Lord, vote.

"Sir, everyone, please get up quickly."

Sun Quan got up quickly and went to help Zhang Zhao up.

After all, Zhang Zhao was an old minister of Jiangdong, and he was also his teacher and a gentry leader.

After all, he has more prestige than his lord.

Coupled with so many civil servants, Sun Quan was under great pressure.

"Please allow me to think twice about this matter, and also ask Gong Jin's meaning." Sun Quan supported Zhang Zhao and said politely.

"Please make plans early, my lord."

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and retreated to his position, and the rest of the ministers also got up from the ground and stood with their hands down.

Lu Su had time to speak.

"My lord, why hasn't Gong Jin come back yet?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Have you heard the rumors in Jiangdong these days?"

"I heard some, but since it's a rumor, it can't be taken seriously." Lu Su said quickly.

"Gongjin's letter said that rumors have caused many changes in the army. He wants to clear the army and stabilize the army, so it will be a day or two late." Sun Quan's tone seemed calm, but he was also somewhat dissatisfied.

A Zhang Zhao brought his civil servants to make him surrender.

A Zhou Yu was so scornful of him.

His dignified lord of Soochow has not yet fully commanded Jiangdong, and has been constrained everywhere.

Lu Su instantly broke into a cold sweat.

Gong Jin, ah Gong Jin, how can you openly defy the orders of the lord.

Even if there are all kinds of reasons, you should come to Chaisang as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Lu Su knew what Zhou Yu's character was, otherwise he would have doubted whether Zhou Yu was self-respecting and disrespectful to the lord.

After all, most of Jiangdong's troops and horses are basically in Zhou Yu's hands.

The power is high.

It is understandable that Sun Quan was unhappy.

Lu Su immediately interceded and said: "My lord, since Gongjin said so, it must be like this. When I came back, some people scolded me for going north to Cao Cao. It's not there."

"Gong Jin did this for Jiangdong's foundation and for the Lord."

Sun Quan glanced at Lu Su, his expression softened.

Lu Su was loyal to him, but he couldn't let his confidants down.

After all, Lu Su and Zhou Yu are best friends.

"Zijing, I'm not blaming Gongjin, it's just that the current Jiangdong cannot do without Gongjin."

After Sun Quan said something, he looked at a civil servant and general:

"That's it, it's a war or a peace. We'll discuss it when Gongjin comes back. You can go back first."

The crowd nodded and walked away respectfully.

Then Sun Quan took Lu Su by the hand and entered the inner room.

"Zijing, how is Liu Bei's situation?"

Don't look at the fact that Sun Quan refused Zhuge Liang's entry just now, but he was actually doing it for Zhang Zhao and other old officials.

Now that there are no other people, there is nothing to worry about.

"My lord, now Liu Bei and Liu Qi are stationed in Jiangling, with [-] or [-] troops and horses, including [-] navy troops."

"Besides that, Liu Bei's subordinates have such peerless generals as Zhang Zhao, coupled with the name of the uncle and Zhuge Kongming's ingenuity, if the lord can get Liu Bei's help to fight against Cao, it will be more effective with half the effort."

After hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan nodded: "I'm not worried about joining Liu against Cao Cao. What I'm worried about is the rumors spreading all over Jiangdong."

"Zijing, do you know that most of the ministers in Jiangdong have correspondence with Cao Cao."

"Now the government is unclear, the people's hearts are uneasy, and the ministers are in a panic, all looking forward to Cao Cao's arrival."

"Cao Cao is a good plan of alienation."

Sun Quan said with a cold expression.

"My lord, when I came, I heard from Kong Ming that this plan was done by a mysterious advisor beside Cao Cao, and even Kong Ming suffered a few big losses in the hands of this person. We must have planned it long ago."

Remembering Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Su quickly reminded him.

Sun Quan instantly showed a solemn look:

"Cao Cao already has Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and other advisors by his side...and now one more person is added. Even the famous 'Wolong' is no match for him."

"This battle is not easy to fight."

"Zijing, hurry up and invite Zhuge Liang to come, and I want to discuss with him how to break this estrangement."

Lu Su hurriedly cupped his hands: "Nuo, my lord, I'll go look for Kong Ming."

Chapter 65

Wuhou Mansion.

After Zhuge Liang took his seat, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Ming Gong's intention, just now on the way, Zijing has already told me."

"It's not difficult to solve the crisis in Jiangdong. I have a way to keep Jiangdong stable."

Seeing Zhuge Liang in the chest, a smile appeared on Sun Quan's face.

"Kong Ming, please tell me." Sun Quan asked.

"You can take care of the big and discard the small." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and spoke slowly.

Sun Quan frowned, and when Lu Su, who was beside him, saw the appearance of the lord, he immediately asked on behalf of Sun Quan, "Kong Ming, why do you control the big and abandon the small?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, took a sip of hot tea, and grabbed a chess piece from the side.

"Duke Ming is the lord of Jiangdong, and Liang uses five chess pieces to represent Duke Ming."

"Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu is the leader of the civil and military generals, and Liang replaced them with three chess pieces."

"The ministers of Jiangdong, the nobles of aristocratic families, the prefects of various counties, and the generals of each army, Liang replaced them with two chess pieces."

"The rest of the people have only one piece, or half a piece, or less than half..."

"What Duke Ming has to do is to put all the important pieces on his chessboard to ensure that they can be manipulated at any time. As for the rest, they are all a mob, not worth mentioning, Duke Ming can ignore them. After Cao Cao is repelled, it is not too late to deal with it."

After Zhuge Liang finished explaining, he smiled and looked at Sun Quan.

He believed that Sun Quan would have understood what he explained.

"Sir is worthy of being a famous scholar in Jingxiang. After listening to your words, I am suddenly enlightened."

Sun Quan's eyebrows were relieved, just now, he was still worried about Jiangdong's rumors, but now this worry has disappeared with Zhuge Liang's words.

He only needs to firmly control the top military and political leaders in various places and ensure that the political situation in Jiangdong is stable and not chaotic.

As for the people below, even if they have the heart to surrender to Cao, they definitely do not have the courage to surrender to Cao.

Although the number of these people is large, as Zhuge Liang said, they are a group of rabble, and they can't make any waves.

As long as Cao Cao is defeated, those who have surrendered to Cao in their hearts will have their own peace.

If so, why should he be nervous?

"Actually, Duke Ming had such an idea in his heart, but I just picked it up." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and smiled humbly.

Seeing this, Sun Quan liked Zhuge Liang somewhat.

This Liu Bei is really lucky to have such a talented person to help him.

Suddenly, thinking of something, Sun Quan asked, "It is rumored that Mr. Shuijing has four disciples, besides Kong Ming, there are three others."

"Now Kong Ming is with Liu Bei, and Xu Shu has gone to Cao Ying."

"This leaves Pang Tong and... and..."

For a while, Sun Quan couldn't remember who the fourth person was, and hurriedly looked at Lu Su beside him.

"My lord, I don't know who this fourth person is. In today's world, there are very few rumors about this person." Lu Su also shook his head.

He lives in Jiangdong all the year round, and he is famous for hearing about famous people from the north.

The rest are not well understood.
