Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 212 Zhuge: Lord, the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty has come!

Sun Quan returned to the back court, the anger in his heart still unable to calm down.

This disastrous defeat has made him lose face as the lord.

"Go and find me Lu Su and Zhuge Liang!"

Soon, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang hurried over, and they were not aware of the battle ahead.

Sun Quan directly told the whole story about the battle, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Zijing, Mr. Zhuge, not long after the battle report from the front came in, Cao Cao's army launched a massive attack. We simply couldn't resist it and lost many soldiers."

"Even Sun Huan died on the battlefield!"

Upon hearing the news, the expressions of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.

The news of defeat was so sudden that they were not even mentally prepared.

Lu Su frowned deeply. This defeat may mean that Jiangdong has no chance of making a comeback.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt extremely cold.

"Two gentlemen, Jiangdong is in danger now. Is there any good strategy to reverse the decline?"

At this moment, Sun Quan was already panicking. It was obvious that Cao Cao was serious this time. Without the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, their Jiangdong was like a piece of fat placed in front of Cao Cao, which he could swallow at any time.

At that time, it is naturally self-evident what will happen to him, the leader of Jiangdong who has always supported the anti-Cao movement, and even the entire Sun family will be destroyed.

So at this time, he didn't care that Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's man, and directly asked for help.

Lu Su looked troubled and his heart was full of worries. At this moment, he couldn't think of any plan to help Sun Quan, which made him even feel a little guilty.

"My lord, perhaps Cao Cao will not really attack. What he wants is a peaceful Jiangdong. If he uses forceful means to occupy Jiangdong, there will definitely be frequent disasters in the future."

"This time, it was us who took the initiative to provoke, and Cao Cao responded in kind. But his goal is still to pacify Jiangdong, and he may not kill them all."

These are just speculations, and Lu Su himself seemed very unconfident when he said them.

Sun Quan's face was full of bitterness. Under the current circumstances, how could he leave the decision-making power in Cao Cao's hands? What if Cao Cao became so cruel that he didn't care about what happened next?

How can national affairs be decided based on guesswork?

So he looked at Zhuge Liang with eyes shining with hope, hoping that this smart man who was as famous as Zhou Yu could give him a solution.

But Zhuge Liang also looked very helpless. He looked at Lu Su and frowned in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly whispered: "Maybe... we can start from Liu Zhang!"

Sun Quan and Lu Su's eyes lit up at the same time, and they asked quickly: "Sir, please tell me in detail!"

Zhuge Liang said eloquently: "Jiang Dong wanted to join forces with Liu Zhang to fight against Cao Cao. Who knew that Liu Zhang actually tried to surrender and showed favor to Cao Cao? This move is simply stupid."

"Even if Cao Cao accepts Liu Zhang's overtures, he will never show mercy to Liu Zhang in the future. Liu Zhang should know this."

Lu Su quickly nodded in agreement and said: "That's right. Cao Cao is very ambitious. He will definitely want to take the land of Xichuan into his hands, and Liu Zhang will be his target sooner or later!"

Sun Quan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. At least this was not the only solution, just wait for death.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and continued: "Also, Liu Zhang is disobeying the Han Dynasty by helping Cao Cao and should be condemned."

"The dignified clan members of the Han Dynasty did not want to serve the imperial court, but instead showed favor to Cao Cao's thieves. This is outrageous to both humans and gods. This matter must be publicized to everyone in the world to plunge them into a place of injustice. I hope they can find their way back."

This method is also full of uncertainties. It may cause Liu Zhang to find his way back, but it may also lead to a complete breakup with Liu Zhang and no possibility of joining forces.

But at this moment, Sun Quan had no other choice but to sigh. "It seems that's all it can do."

Lu Su stood aside, frowning slightly, as if he thought of something, but he struggled for a long time and still didn't say anything.

……

Zhuge Liang returned to his residence and as soon as he stepped in, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed. He was overjoyed and quickly found Liu Bei.

At this moment, Liu Bei is in his study. Now that he is living under someone else's roof, he is somewhat free, but he still has to be on guard every day.

"Lord, the opportunity has come!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the study, he smiled and said.

Liu Bei had never seen Zhuge Liang lose his temper like this before, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Military advisor, where do you start with these words?"

Zhuge Liang was called by Sun Quan today, and he looked like this when he came back. Could it be that he had found a solution to his current predicament?

Zhuge Liang quickly explained: "Xichuan Liu Zhang committed an unjust act and even provided food and grass to the thief Cao Cao. He is simply confused and stupid. How can such a person occupy the land of Bashu?"

Liu Bei still didn't understand, and looked at Zhuge Liang with curious eyes.

"Military advisor, what does this have to do with me?"

Zhuge Liang sighed, secretly thinking that his lord was really not sensitive enough to such dark matters, so he could only explain the matter clearly.

"My Lord, you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and there is no shortage of people loyal to the Han Dynasty in Shu. Liu Zhang's move must have disappointed people. How can such a person be the lord of Xichuan?"

"The one who has the ability is the master!"

In fact, Liu Bei was not confused, he just wanted Zhuge Liang to say it himself. At this time, his face showed hesitation and confusion.

"Military, after all, we are from the same ancestry. Doing this is really contrary to benevolence and justice. How can I steal other people's territory and make it my own?"

Zhuge Liang quickly persuaded: "My lord, you must listen to me this time. Our hope lies in Xichuan!"

"Liu Zhang is cowardly and incompetent. He must have lost the hearts of the people by surrendering to Cao Cao. If such a person steals Xichuan again, he will not only waste natural resources, but also lose the face of the Han Dynasty."

"And my lord has been fighting against Cao Cao. He is also an orthodox member of the Han Dynasty. He is capable and qualified to take over Xichuan and replace Liu Zhang!"

"Only in this way can my lord be able to revive the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, reviving the Han Dynasty will just become an empty talk. Please think twice, lord!"

Zhuge Liang was really anxious this time, after all, such a good opportunity was fleeting.

Several times before, Liu Bei did not adopt his opinions, resulting in losing the opportunity. Now they want people but no one, and they want territory but no territory. If they continue, they will be destroyed by Cao Cao sooner or later.

Therefore, the land of Xichuan became the place that Zhuge Liang must win.

Liu Bei obviously understood this, but he cherished his reputation very much. His reputation was damaged because Changsha City colluded with Wei Yan to kill the prefect Han Xuan.

Now that he is going to seize Xichuan, the reputation he has worked so hard to build may completely collapse.

Therefore, after he pondered for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Military advisor, this matter is of great importance and we need to discuss it again!"
