The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

The news of Long Fei's dispatch of troops was known to almost the whole world.Cao Cao laughed and said: "My son-in-law seems to be scared, otherwise he wouldn't do it now, everyone, work harder, now we are buying time, if we can finish dealing with the northern affairs before Long Fei takes Jingzhou, We will have the upper hand, but in turn, we will be in danger."

Sun Quan has also been paying attention to the situation in Jingzhou.Sun Quan's heart skipped a beat when Long Fei dispatched troops.When Sun Ce died, he stormed Jiangxia in order to open up the road from Jiangdong to Jingzhou.At this time, if he joins hands with Long Fei, he will gain a few more counties in Jingzhou, which can be counted as his achievements since he took office.On the day Long Fei dispatched troops, Sun Quan called civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Cheng Pu, Lu Su and others strongly agreed, while Zhang Zhao, Yu Fan and others were conservative.Zhang Zhaodao: "Long Fei is a treacherous and cunning guy. He joined forces with Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's entire army was almost wiped out. On the contrary, Long Fei gained a lot. If we join forces with Long Fei, we may not benefit."

Yu Fan immediately stood up to defend: "Master Zhang is right, Long Fei is unreliable, not only can't join forces with him, but also send troops to Jianye to prevent Long Fei from suddenly marching eastward." A group of civil servants all nodded in agreement.

Cheng Pu interrupted everyone's discussion: "A group of pedantic people, the world's major events are all in this war, and now Liu Biao's new funeral happens to be our best chance. With Long Fei's strength, there is no suspense at all to win Jingzhou. If If we don't participate in it at this time, it will be of no benefit in the end, but it will allow Long Fei to gain an advantage, and it will be really dangerous to go down the river to Jiangdong when Long Fei gains a firm foothold in Jingzhou."

"Master Cheng is right!" Lu Su also stood up and clasped his fists at Sun Quan: "Master, Long Fei is no better than Liu Biao, and he is not Liu Biao's defender of the city. If he stays firmly in Jingzhou, he will expand everywhere. Our Jiangdong is very likely. To become its first goal, for my Jiangdong foundation, Jiangxia and the four Jingnan counties must be in my hands."

Sun Quan suddenly remembered a sentence Sun Ce said before he died.The last thing Sun Ce said to Sun Quan before his death was, if you are undecided about internal affairs, you can ask Zhang Zhao, and if you are undecided about foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu.Regarding the matter of Jingzhou, the whole Jiangdong is the clearest than Zhou Yu who is training the navy in Poyang Lake.Sun Ce raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "I already know about this matter, let me think about it, and I will give you an answer in a few days."

When I returned to the back house, I just sat down.The waiter came to report, and the long history Zhugejin asked to see him.Zhugejin just came to Jiangdong, Sun Quan cherished his talent and made him a long history.On weekdays, this Zhuge Jin does not interact with anyone, and is devoted to government affairs wholeheartedly.In this battle of Jingzhou, Zhuge Jin did not take refuge in any side and remained neutral all the time. He came here at this time must be for the affairs of Jingzhou.

At Sun Quan's request, Zhuge Jin bowed his back and entered Sun Quan's study in a regular manner, after saluting.Zhuge Jin first explained the purpose of coming: "I heard that the Lord is troubled by the affairs of Jingzhou, and I have some thoughts to share with the Lord."

Sun Quan smiled: "Speak! All ears!"

"The crisis situation in Jingzhou has been formed. Liu Biao's new funeral, Liu Bei and Cai Mao used various reasons to fight for Jingzhou in Xiangyang. Long Fei just saw this opportunity and immediately made a move. These lords know it!"

Sun Quan nodded.Zhuge Jin went on to say: "Today in the hall, listening to everyone's words, either sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, or join Long Fei. The lower officials think that they can join forces with Liu Bei."

"Oh!" Sun Quan became interested: "Tell me, why can we join forces with Liu Bei?"

Zhuge Jin said: "Liu Bei is weak now, but Long Fei is strong. Liu Bei was chased and killed by Long Fei and had nowhere to go. If the lord extended a helping hand to Liu Bei at this time, Liu Bei must be grateful, and then Jingzhou and Jiangdong can reach a long-term alliance. In this way The two families will fight against Long Fei together, and when Cao Cao goes north to fight back, the three families will fight together and Long Fei will surely perish. At that time, the lord can easily take over the entire Jingzhou with only one general, so why bother to divide and eat with Long Fei?"

Sun Quan kept filtering Zhuge Jin's words in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he found it, under Sun Quan's encouragement.Zhugejin continued: "Liu Bei is also a hero, and he will definitely not stay in Jingzhou. Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak and will be annexed by Liu Bei sooner or later. Liu Bei occupies Xichuan, and the lord occupies Jiangdong. The two families unite to fight against Cao Cao in the north. It's done!"

"Hahaha..." Sun Quan rejoiced: "Ziyu is really a master! I suddenly understood what I said, and the analysis was thorough. Liu Bei occupied Xichuan, and the road to Shu was difficult. He couldn't get in or out, which limited Liu Bei's ability. Hands and feet, the two families work together to destroy Cao Cao, we can gradually destroy Liu Bei in Xichuan, and the whole world will be ours!" Zhuge Jin nodded.Sun Quan was full of joy, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and wanted to have a good time with Zhuge Jin.

The two chatted all night.Before Sun Quan woke up, Lu Su came. Sun Quan hurriedly got up and came to greet him with a yawn.Seeing Sun Quan's happy face, Lu Su smiled slightly: "It seems that Zhuge Ziyu must have a clever plan to offer to the lord, and the lord is very happy today."

Sun Quan smiled: "Zijing has also learned to read his words, and Zhuge Ziyu has indeed presented a clever plan, not joining Long Fei and Liu Bei!"

Lu Su frowned when he heard this.Sun Quan hurriedly asked, "Why is Zijing like this?"

Lu Su sighed and shook his head: "Don't you know that Zhuge Jin's second brother Zhuge Liang is now Liu Bei's military advisor?"

"Oh? Is this really the case?" Sun Quan was also surprised, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Lu Su nodded: "I just found out about this. The three brothers of the Zhuge family are called dragons, tigers, and dogs. They all have talents and learning. The second brother Zhuge Liang is named Crouching Dragon, the eldest Zhuge Jin is a tiger, and the third brother is a tiger. Zhuge is called a dog, born of three brothers and one mother, now one follows the lord and the other Liu Bei, doesn't the lord feel that there is something strange in it?"

Sun Quan gasped, lowered his head and thought silently.Lu Su continued: "My lord, do you still remember the old fairy at Feixialing outside Moling City?"

Sun Quan nodded: "What does he have to do with this matter?"

"The Taoism of the old fairy Yuji was broken by Long Fei, and the people of Jiangdong knew that they were all deceptive tricks. The subordinates sent people to investigate. This old fairy is the leader of Heibing in Jiangdong!" Lu Su moved towards Sun Quan. Nuo: "There are many believers under Yu Ji's command, and the Fourth Elder of Jingshan is one of them. Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are both nephews of Zhuge Xuan, one of the Four Elders of Jingshan. My lord should be able to understand the connection of these things."

"What does Zijing mean is that Hei Bing was behind the whole thing?" Sun Quan naturally knew about Hei Bing, and without Hei Bing, he would not have been able to sit on Jiangdong's seat smoothly.

Lu Su shook his head: "The subordinates are not sure, but there are signs that Hei Bing must have intervened in this matter, so we have to guard against it."

Sun Quan's head grew bigger in an instant, he thought he had shaken off Hei Bing, but unexpectedly, his ghost lingered, and even sent someone to his side.Sun Quan was depressed, very depressed.He no longer cared about how Lu Su got the news, but what Heibing wanted to do?Based on Zhuge Jin's intentions, it seems that it was just to deal with Long Fei. After dealing with Long Fei?

No one in power wants to be controlled by others.Even Liu Xie doesn't want it, but many people like to control those in power, and they have the ability to control you, force you, or force you to do what they want.Sun Quan rested his forehead with one hand, leaned his elbows on the desks, and said calmly, "What does Zijing think we should do?"

Lu Su said: "Whether we want to cooperate with Long Fei or not, my lord should understand that this black ice has a lot of appetite, if we can't completely drive him away from us, there will be many problems in the future, Long Fei will do it on this point." Not bad."

"Zijing means unite with Longfei?" Sun Quan asked.

Lu Su shook his head: "This is not my subordinate's intention. It is very risky to cooperate with Long Fei. If you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, it will be more problematic. Why don't you ask Gong Jin? Gong Jin is training the navy at Poyang Lake. He is the closest to Jingzhou , knows more details than us, and Gongjin's wisdom is far superior to ours, he must have better suggestions!"

"Yes, yes, why did I forget Brother Gongjin, I will write a letter right away!"

Five days later, news came from Xiangyang.Cai Mao surrendered to Long Fei, Long Fei asked the emperor to designate Cai Mao as Situ, Zhang Yun as Sikong, gathered Cai Mao's soldiers and horses and captured Xiangyang in one fell swoop, Liu Bei abandoned the city and fled without knowing where he was going.Jiang Xia and Liu Qi led troops to defend against Long Fei in Nanjun. The two armies have not yet met, and the situation of the battle is unknown.Along with the battle report came Zhou Yu's letter.

Sun Quan couldn't wait to open the letter. In the letter, he introduced the situation of the Jingzhou battle in detail, analyzed the pros and cons of Long Fei and Liu Bei, and predicted the future battle situation.He observed more keenly that Liu Bei's actions were very abnormal and he made many unwise actions.For example, massacring Cai Mao's family and tearing off his pretense of loving the people.besides.It is not Liu Bei's style that Long Fei's army besieged the city and did not surrender.Remind Sun Quan to pay attention to those people who have been around Liu Bei recently.

Seeing this, Sun Quan roughly understood what Zhou Yu meant.Although Zhou Yu didn't say it clearly, his distrust of Liu Bei was revealed between the lines, and he would never take advantage of cooperating with such a person.Since he couldn't cooperate with Liu Bei, only Long Fei was left.It is up to Sun Quan to decide whether it is a combination or a view.

Zhuge Jin found Sun Quan again.Sun Quan's attitude took a 180-degree turn.Zhuge Jin said: "My lord, have you considered it? The benefits of cooperating with Liu Bei are huge, and the risks of cooperating with Long Fei are huge."

Sun Quan looked at him, Zhuge Jin felt a little scared.Suddenly, Sun Quan slapped the table with a slap: "Bold Zhuge Jin, you actually joined forces with your brother Zhuge Liang to play tricks on me, saying, did you Hei Bing have a premeditated plan to take over my Jiangdong foundation?"

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to Sun Quan: "My lord, I am loyal to my lord, and I will never think of anything else! Everything is for my Jiangdong's sake, please learn from me, my lord!"

"Hmph! You're still quibbling when you're about to die, come here! Take down this Black Ice spy!"
