Chapter [249] Jiang Dong's Attitude
Jiangdong.
Zhuge Liang won the award, but he didn't receive any grand reception. After all, it wasn't Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would not come to the riverside to greet him in person.
Jiang Dong just sent Lu Su to greet him out of courtesy, but Zhuge Jin also came together. He hadn't seen his younger brother for many years.
When Zhuge Liang got off the boat, Zhuge Jin immediately greeted him, "Kong Ming!"
"Brother." Zhuge Liang also seemed very happy, and the hands of the two brothers were tightly held together.
"Where's the third brother? There's also the eldest sister and the second sister." Zhuge Jin immediately asked about the situation at home.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine." Zhuge Liang's winning streak comforted him.
When Zhuge's family migrated from Xuzhou to Jingzhou, Zhuge Jin and his family got separated on the way and wandered to Jiangdong alone. There was no news of his family for many years.
The two brothers spent a long time by the river, and finally Lu Su said: "Ziyu, Kong Ming, why don't we go to the city and talk again?"
"Oh, look at me." Zhuge Jin suddenly came to his senses, "I lost my composure and made Zijing laugh."
"Where, it's a happy event for brothers to meet each other, but we all have official duties, so it's not too late to meet the lord later." Lu Su stroked his beard and smiled.
"Let's go, the lord and Gong Jin are waiting." Zhuge Jin took Zhuge Liang to the city.
A group of people chatted and laughed, and then came to the general's mansion in the city, where Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were already waiting.
When he came to the hall, Lu Su immediately introduced him: "My lord, this is Zhuge Kongming, Duke Xuande's military advisor. I just learned that he is Ziyu's younger brother.
"Oh? There is such a thing." Sun Ce was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Bei's military adviser turned out to be the younger brother of his adviser.
"Hehe, it seems that they are indeed a family." Zhou Yu smiled from the side.
"Liang has met all of you, so be polite." Zhuge Liang made a bow.
"Excuse me, Kong Ming, please sit down." Sun Ce was also very polite.
"Thank you, General." Zhuge Liang entered the table and sat down.
"Kong Ming crossed the river this time, what's the matter? Didn't he just come to find relatives"~?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.
"I came here this time to ask General Sun to send troops to the Central Plains with my lord." Zhuge Liang cut to the chase and explained his purpose directly.
"Send troops to the Central Plains?" Sun Ce frowned and said, "Why did you send troops to the Central Plains, and I didn't intend to go to the Central Plains.w
Jiangdong's strategy has always been based on the Yangtze River, and it is a corner.
It's not that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have no enterprising spirit, but Zhou Yu knows that the current strength is insufficient and he is unable to plot the Central Plains.
Especially when he took a trip to the Three Gorges and learned that the upper reaches were blocked, occupying Jingnan and Jiangdong had actually achieved the strategic goal of fully occupying the Yangtze River.
After all, the upstream is blocked by boulders, and it is impossible for the middle of Sichuan to go down the river. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in the hands of Sun Ce, who builds a defense line around the Yangtze River, and then develops the south, eliminates the Shanyue people, reclaims farmland, and develops step by step.
Among the princes of the world, whether it is Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao, they are all over half a hundred years old.
Even the relatively young Lu Bu is about ten years older than Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
In this case, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were even less anxious.
Keep the basic base of Jiangdong and Jingnan, and develop it for 20 years first. By then, the princes of the Central Plains will all be old, or even die of old age, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will be in their prime, and then lead the army to the north and win it in one fell swoop.
Therefore, at this moment, the whole Jiangdong is keeping a deaf ear to what is going on outside the window, and is focused on development.
Even the militant Sun Ce didn't have the heart to go to the Central Plains to meddle at this time, and subconsciously rejected Zhuge Liang's suggestion, thinking that it would disrupt the rhythm of Jiangdong's development.
Sun Ce couldn't help turning his gaze to Zhou Yu, motioning for Zhou Yu to deal with it.
Yu nodded slightly, motioned Sun Ce to sit down and asked Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, sending troops is not a joke. Tell me your reason."
"It seems that you didn't pay attention to the Yuan-Cao battle in the Central Plains." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but said.
"Hehe, I paid a little attention. Yuan Shao's 500,000 troops marched south, and Cao Cao was definitely no match, so I didn't pay any more attention." Zhou Yu chuckled.
Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao's opponent, it is already the consensus of the world, no one will think that Cao Cao can win.
Excluding a traverser like Lu Bu, no normal person would think that Cao Cao could win.
Moreover, Cao Cao's victory this time was also dominated by Lu Bu. If Lu Bu didn't let Xu You go to Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao could win a hammer.
"Then Gongjin is not worried that Yuan Shao will plot the south after annexing the Central Plains?" Zhuge Liang continued to ask.
"There is still Lu Bu fighting against it." Zhou Yu said confidently: "Even if Yuan Shao wins Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu will at least have to compete for many years before the winner can be determined.
Zhou Yu's deduction is very correct. Normally speaking, Lu Bu acts on the major passes in the pass. Even if Yuan Shao's strength increases sharply, it will be extremely difficult to force Lu Bu down. The two will confront each other for a long time in the north.
Yuan Shao and Lu Bu confronted each other, separated by Liu Bei and the Yangtze River. The Jiangdong people were very calm about the situation in the Central Plains. No matter how they fought, the flames of war would not reach them.
Moreover, while the princes of the Central Plains were consuming each other, Jiangdong developed insignificantly.
The current situation in Jiangdong is the same as when Lu Bushuo developed in Guanzhong.
Lu Bu built high walls, accumulated grain widely, and slowly became king.
Lu Bu built various passes to build an impregnable Guanzhong defense line.
On the Jiangdong side, warships were built, water troops were trained, and the Yangtze River was used as a natural line of defense.
If things really develop like this and Yuan Shao wins the war, then the princes who will benefit the most in the world will be Jiangdong Sun Ce, not even Yuan Shao himself, let alone Lu Bu and Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang nodded again and again, Jiangdong's strategy is still very good, but unfortunately the situation has changed.
"`~Did Gongjin imagine that Cao Cao won the tenth market?" Zhuge Liang asked back.
"Huh?" Zhou Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Impossible, Cao Cao has no chance of winning.
"Yuan Shao's 500,000 army, how could he lose?"
"It's nonsense."
"Yuan Shao is still the overlord of one party, if (Li Zhao) really loses, it would be too unbearable."
Other Jiangdong civil and military officials in the hall spoke out one after another, expressing that Yuan Shao could not be defeated.
Before the defeat in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's reputation in the world was still very strong.
Therefore, the Jiangdong officials, including Zhou Yu, did not consider Yuan Shao's sudden defeat.
"I have a piece of news to tell you that Yuan Shao was collecting grain in Wuchao, and now he has been attacked by Cao Cao. Countless grain and grass have been burned, and Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops will soon be in danger of running out of food." Zhuge Liang said slowly, shaking his feather fan.
As soon as the voice fell, the entire hall was completely silent, and needles could be heard, and the originally noisy hall fell silent in an instant.
Everyone was shocked by Zhuge Liang's news, and at the same time, they began to quickly think about whether Yuan Shao's defeat would cause a chain reaction and whether it would have any impact on Jiangdong.
"Is the news reliable?" Zhou Yu asked in a hurry.
"It's absolutely true."
