Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 295 Discussion
Zhuge Liang did not come here alone.

Ma Su, Liu Ba, Yan Yan, Wu Yi and other civil and military officials all came together.

With such a scene, everyone knew that something was going to happen.

At this moment in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the main seat, with Guan Yu on the left and Xing Daorong on the right. Below him were all the civil and military generals. However, there was a Xiao Qiao behind Xing Daorong, who was specifically serving tea and water for Xing Daorong...

This was Xiao Qiao's own request.

Originally, according to Xing Daorong's plan, he wanted to arrange a seat for Xiao Qiao as well, and she should sit in the corner at the very end.

However, Xiao Qiao felt that this arrangement was inappropriate, so she suggested that he serve Xing Daorong.

but…

Those who know the relationship between Xiao Qiao and Xing Daorong are full of admiration!

Letting the sister-in-law serve him by his side...is quite impressive.

But think about it, Xing Daorong can handle anything, so getting a sister-in-law would be a piece of cake, right?

Zhuge Liang glanced at Xing Daorong, smiled helplessly in his heart, turned around, and spoke to everyone with a serious face.

"Everyone, I believe you all know the news that Jiangdong Lu Xun defeated Hefei."

"Now Lu Xun has gone to Shouchun and entered the Huainan area."

"It is because of this momentum that I came here..."

Bao Long, who was standing below, heard this and hurried forward and shouted, "Military Advisor! Is it time for us to mobilize the troops?"

"The Jiangdong people are so powerful that we can't just sit there and do nothing!"

Many people nodded in agreement with what Bao Long said.

Now Bao Long is no longer the hunter in Jingnan. He has made many achievements. Not only does he hold a high position and great power, he is also well-known in the army.

His words also carry some weight.

What's more, what he said makes some sense!

Even Yan Yan and Wu Yi thought so.

Especially the veteran Yan Yan, even at his age, he is eager to make achievements.

When he heard that Zhuge Liang was coming to Jingzhou, he took the initiative to write a letter and ask for battle, and then followed him here.

He was anxious to make a contribution, so he stepped forward and agreed: "Military Advisor, General Bao Long is right. Now is the time for us to attack Cao's army with our morale and courage!"

"If it's any later, I'm afraid they will all be picked up by the people of Jiangdong!"

Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this: "Everyone... can you believe that Cao Cao was really defeated like that?"

"Even if they are defeated by our two families and have no chance to resist?"

This…

Everyone present had heard of how powerful Cao Cao was.

Guan Yu, in particular, was even more familiar with Cao Cao.

But he said: "That's right... In the past, Cao Cao faced Yuan Shao and defeated the strong with his weak strength, and he was not afraid at all!"

"Although the situation is critical, this is not the time to be complacent and reckless."

Xing Daorong also nodded and said, "That's right. Given the current situation, Cao Cao will definitely lead the army in person to repel the enemy. Even though the people of Jiangdong are fighting fiercely, Cao Cao will soon leave on his own."

have to.

Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Xing Daorong, the three giants, have all said so. No matter how anxious everyone is to achieve merit, they can only follow the ideas of these three giants.

Bao Long said, "I understand. Let's let Cao Cao lead his troops to fight the Jiangdong people first. We will wait for them to win and then reap the benefits."

Zhuge Liang said: "What Bao Long said is right... We just want to reap the benefits!"

"Cao Cao's army is coming, and we must have an opponent." "We are naturally not afraid of them, but... if someone wants to try Cao Cao's army first, there is no reason for us to stop him..."

"Everyone, be modest and cautious, reorganize your troops, and wait for the right opportunity..."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Of course, they all understood what was going on with this situation of sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight.

But Zhuge Liang didn’t say the whole thing.

Since Bao Long understood the principle of sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, the people of Jiangdong could naturally understand it, and Cao Cao could understand it even more.

How and when to fight now, we have to wait for Cao Cao to make the first move...

However, under such a fierce offensive from Jiangdong, Cao Cao's top priority must be to stop Jiangdong's offensive, and this will certainly not change.

Zhuge Liang's plan to watch a play first will not be in vain.

...

"Zi Yu... In your opinion, how should Cao Cao deal with the current situation?"

If the person Liu Bei relied on the most was Zhuge Liang, then the person Zhuge Liang could rely on the most was Xing Daorong.

So after the first meeting, Zhuge Liang found Xing Daorong again and talked about the current situation alone.

It’s just... Xiao Qiao was still serving by his side, which made Zhuge Liang’s expression look a little strange when he spoke.

Xing Daorong didn't have time to respond, so he turned around and greeted Xiao Qiao, "Little sister... what do you think Cao Cao will do?"

Xiao Qiao just thought of herself as an auditor and naturally had no preparation.

I was shocked by Xing Daorong's question.

After a pause, she responded, "Brother-in-law, you are joking. I am a girl, how can I know the big things you are talking about?"

Xiao Qiao refused instinctively.

Xing Daorong waved his hand and said, "Little sister, haven't you told me many plans? Why are you so shy today?"

Xiao Qiao saw that she couldn't escape today, and seeing that Zhuge Liang was also smiling, she could only boldly say: "In my opinion, Cao Cao is coming with a large army, but no one will fight."

Zhuge Liang asked, "What do you mean?"

After opening the conversation, Xiao Qiao was much more generous and continued, "Cao Cao is like a great beauty right now, and we and Jiangdong are the competitors for this beauty."

"We have to let the two contenders decide who is better first. How can we ask a beauty to resist before the winner is decided?"

This metaphor sounds interesting.

Zhuge Liang also became interested and asked, "What should we do if those two refuse to fight?"

Xiao Qiao said: "Not fighting? How can I not fight?"

"If we don't fight, we can just let one person go and let him go straight in. Can the other person just turn a blind eye?"

"Anyway, if I were Cao Cao, I would just wait and see..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at Xing Daorong, and they both laughed at the same time.

Seeing Xiao Qiao's confused look, Zhuge Liang explained: "What Madam Qiao said does make some sense, but marching and fighting are different. If we ignore it, I'm afraid that the inner strength will collapse first, and Cao Cao will not be able to bear it."

Xing Daorong followed up and said: "When exchanging space for time, the most important thing is to suppress the inside."

"If we abandon the front line repeatedly, we will surely be defeated at home. Cao Cao must not do this."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that Xing Daorong's statement of "trading space for time" was really concise and clear.

It was so enlightening that even Zhuge Liang felt he had gained a lot.

However, Xing Daorong did not think that his casual words were learned by Zhuge Liang, and he continued: "If Cao Cao wants to suppress the internal forces, it is even more inappropriate. I think he still has to use the strategy of sowing discord to destroy our relationship with Dongwu."

"But before coming here, Lu Su talked to me and said that Cao Cao must not succeed, so I don't think anything will happen..."
