Chapter 1602 Zhuge Liang fights against Confucian scholars

Regardless of Zhang Zhao's dissuasion, Sun Quan asked Zhuge Liang to be invited into the front hall.

After entering the front hall, Zhuge Liang first greeted Sun Quan, and then bowed to everyone sitting there.

"Mr. Kong Ming is the military advisor next to Liu Xuande." Sun Quan asked: "What are you doing when you are not by Liu Xuande?"

"I came to Jiangdong, specifically for the sake of the Marquis of Wu." Zhuge Liang said: "When the Marquis of Wu is about to lose his home, I'm just here to greet him."

His face suddenly looked ugly, and Sun Quan said in a bad tone: "Jiangdong is very stable now. Who said I will throw it away?"

Looking at the people sitting, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "June Wu just now, it was because the Lord Wu discussed how to apply to Cao Cao. Once he voted for Cao Cao, will Jiangdong still be in the hands of Wu?"

"How do you know we are discussing the application for Cao Cao?" Sun Quan asked: "Can we not discuss anything else?"

"Cao Cao's army will break through Jingzhou and will arrive at the bank of the Yangtze River in a few days. At this time, Wu Hou did not discuss how to apply for it. Could there be other more important things?" Zhuge Liang asked him.

"Zhuge Kongming!" Sun Quan finally got angry. He glared at Zhuge Liang: "I respect you as a guest, why did you speak hurtful words?"

"Does Wu Hou plan to fight against Cao's army to protect Jiangdong?" Zhuge Liang bowed to Sun Quan and gave a big gift: "If that's the case, I will accuse the Wu Hou."

"Fight against Cao's army?" Before Sun Quan could speak, Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and asked Zhuge Liang: "Liu Xuande is an enemy of Cao's army. What's the outcome now?"

"Although my lord fought with Cao's army repeatedly, he never gave up fighting." Zhuge Liang said: "It is a real hero who is not discouraged by defeat, and it is better to surrender without fighting."

Since entering the front hall, Zhuge Liang spoke with thorns, and Sun Quan and everyone sitting were all very bad.

Fearing that he would offend Sun Quan, Lu Su winked at him.

But Zhuge Liang seemed to have not seen it at all, and continued, "My lord does not have the natural danger of the Yangtze River. When Cao's army comes, he still dares to compete. Wu Hou is now relying on the Yangtze River and has tens of thousands of elite troops. But it is really puzzling to hear that the Cao family plans to surrender."

"You are always fighting against the Cao family. I ask you, how many soldiers and horses do the Cao family have?" Sun Quan asked Zhuge Liang coldly.

Lu Su had long reminded Zhuge Liang that he would deliberately say the number of Cao's soldiers was smaller.

But Zhuge Liang said, "Cao army is known as 830,000, and there are at least 200,000 people who left Yecheng to fight. Cao Zirong's command was 30,000, and the surrendered soldiers in Jingzhou were almost the same."

After he said this, Lu Su felt annoyed and said, "It's over, it's over, Zhuge Kongming is too good at doing things."

The people in Jiangdong were originally afraid of the Cao family. Not only did he not say less about the Cao family's soldiers, but he also deliberately exaggerated them. Zhang Zhao and others had even more reason to persuade Sun Quan to surrender.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhao asked, "I dare to ask Mr. Kong Ming, Cao's army has 400,000, and our army has only 60,000. How can we fight against the enemy?"

Vivi smiled and Zhuge Liang said, "When Xiang Yu fought against the river, 20,000 to 30,000 people defeated the Qin army. In the battle of Guandu, the Cao family had only 40,000 troops, while the Yuan family had more than 100,000 troops. Is Zhang Gong defeated the Cao family or the Yuan family? "

When he asked this, Zhang Zhao was stunned, and he didn't know how to respond.

Zhuge Liang bowed to Sun Quan again and said, "Since ancient times, there have been many examples of winning with less. I heard that Jiangdong is full of talent and relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Could it be that Wu Hou thinks he is not as good as Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang's words were very impressive, and Sun Quan's expression improved a lot.

He pinched his chin, nodded and said, "What sir said makes some sense."

Sun Quan seemed to have the intention to fight against Cao's army, and Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "Wu Hou, Cao's army has many powerful generals, and there are far more people who plan and plan than our Jiangdong. It is really unwise to go to war with the Cao family!"

"If I were the Marquis of Wu, I would definitely behead the person who asked for peace easily." Before Sun Quan could respond, Zhuge Liang said: "These people are just considering their own family, how could they ever think about the life and death of Marquis of Wu?"

"Zhuge Kongming, don't exaggerate." Zhang Zhao said angrily: "I have been an official in Jiangdong for many years and have always been under the influence of Wentai. Bo Fu is relied on by him. Will I harm the Marquis of Wu?"

Zhuge Liang smiled coldly and shook his head and said, "I have no doubts about Mr. Zhang's past loyalty and righteousness. However, this time he urged the Marquis of Wu to surrender to the Cao family is disgusting."

He continued: "The people from Jiangdong who join the Cao family will be rewarded. It is not impossible to win a wife and a son in the future. However, when Wu Hou defected to the Cao family, he lost more than Jiangdong."

Looking at Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang said, "Wu Hou occupied Jiangdong for several years and has long been a hero. Is Cao Cao afraid of it? Since he is afraid of Wu Hou, he will always think of a way to get rid of Wu Hou in the future. If he surrenders to Cao Cao, he will not only fail to save Jiangdong, but will lose his life. Zhang Zhao and others persuade Wu Hou to surrender. If they do not kill them at this time, what are you waiting for?"

Zhuge Liang said these words, and everyone sitting was shocked.

Almost everyone was convinced to surrender.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Sun Quan frowned and asked, "Is there any way to break through the Cao family?"

"Now that the Cao family's army has not moved, the Wu Hou can hold its troops still." Zhuge Liang said: "When the Cao family's army has movements, it will not be too late to make plans."

"Wu Hou!" Seeing Sun Quan hesitating, Lu Su knew that Zhuge Liang was a little moved by what he said, and hurriedly said: "Kong Ming was right. The Cao army did not move. Jiangdong only had to be cautious. Without any action against the Cao family, it could not be considered offending them. However, if they moved, they would try to be unfavorable to Jiangdong and responded at that time, because there had been arrangements earlier and it would not be very hasty."

Sun Quan frowned and nodded but said nothing.

Always feeling that Jiangdong is not a rival to the Cao family, Zhang Zhao said: "Zhuge Kongming cleverly spoke and tried to bewitch the Marquis of Wu. The Cao family had also conquered others in the past. In his early years, Zhang Xiu even rebelled against the Cao family. Wasn't he pardoned his sins?"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said to Zhang Zhao: "Your Majesty Zhang is right, but where is Zhang Xiu now? He used to occupy Wancheng, and he called the wind and rain. Now? Under Cao Cao, he is just an inconspicuous little person. Not only is the glory of the past gone, but he must be careful even when he lives. Could it be that the Marquis of Wu is like Zhang Xiu?"
