After Zhou Yu took it apart and looked at it, he was a little surprised and thought: "Last time I went back, I made it very clear to my lord that we should not use force for the time being, and my lord agreed. Why did he suddenly change his mind and start a crusade again after less than two months here?"

Where is Jingzhou?

Our army is here waiting for Liu Biao to die and then take the opportunity to regain Jingzhou. Why did my lord suddenly have this idea? Is it because Liu Biao is dead in Jingzhou? Or maybe my lord has been deceived by those corrupt scholars in front of me."

When Zhou Yu thought of this, he muttered: "You are young after all, and your temperament is unstable. No, I'll go back and take a look."

It turned out that Sun Quan did not explain in the letter why he was attacking Jingzhou, but only ordered Zhou Yu to go back quickly to formulate a battle plan to attack Jingzhou, so Zhou Yu had the idea just now.

In this way, Zhou Yu hurriedly arranged military affairs, and with a dozen followers, he hurried to the navy dock, boarded a speedboat, and ordered the soldiers to fill up the sails and hurried to Chaisang.

Zhou Yu arrived at the pier, disembarked from the boat, and rode straight to Chaisang. There was still more than a hundred miles from the pier to Chaisang Yamen, but Zhou Yu arrived there in one go.

Zhou Yu came to the Yamen to see Sun Quan, and asked breathlessly: "General Zhou Yu has been ordered to come. I respectfully listen to my lord's orders."

When Sun Quan saw this, he said solemnly: "Gong Jin, let's take a drink of water and rest first, and then we can talk about official business."

Zhou Yu took the tea handed over by the servant, drank it in one gulp, took out a rag and wiped the corner of his mouth and asked: "Zhou Yu saw on the lord's hand that the lord is going to launch an army to attack Liu Biao of Jingzhou?"

"Well, yes. Gongjin should take a rest and quickly formulate a battle plan."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu sat down, took a breath and asked: "My lord had ordered Zhou Yu beforehand, saying that he should not mobilize troops at the moment, but rest and recuperate to strengthen the power of Soochow. At the same time, he would wait for changes in Jingzhou and take the opportunity to attack.

Why did He send troops in such a hurry?"

Sun Quan recounted the successes that Liu Cong had achieved during the past year when he took charge of Jingzhou, and said: "Liu Cong is not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he doesn't know why God gave Jingzhou such a genius. He is both wise and brave.

He is good at both civil and military affairs, knows everything about politics, economy, military and diplomacy, knows everything about the three religions and nine streams, he is good at predicting what he hears, and his predictions are accurate nine times out of ten.

It’s amazing.”

Zhou Yu felt a little contemptuous when he heard this, but it was not easy to express it in front of Sun Quan. He only twitched the corner of his mouth a few times and thought: "Liu Cong is Liu Biao's second son. Judging from his age, he is still a child. How can he be

People say that he became like a god.

Can Liu Cong have such ability?

Even if a god has such ability, he still has to practice for hundreds of thousands of years.

Hasn't he become a super god?

I have never seen such a genius since ancient times. How can anyone believe it?"

Zhou Yu thought of this and said: "My lord, you must not believe the rumors easily. It's impossible. At such a young age,

After hearing this, Sun Quan waved his hands repeatedly, stopped Zhou Yu and said: "Gong Jin, please don't underestimate Liu Cong. There are many strange things in the world, and they are often unexpected.

When my father died, there was no one in Jingzhou who did not advise Liu Biao, asking him to take the opportunity to attack us and eradicate my family to avoid future troubles.

But Liu Biao despised my brother Sun Ce's age and did not act.

No, it only took less than ten years for my brother to open up the situation, occupy the six counties of Soochow, and lay the foundation of Soochow.

My brother was only seventeen years old back then, the same age as Liu Cong now.

How about it? Liu Biao is old and weak, and he is incapable of attacking us now.

But Gong Jin dares to say that Liu Cong is not a person like my brother?"

Sun Quan was born to be an emperor. No wonder he could say such words. These few words made Zhou Yu bow his head and become silent.

Sun Quan continued: "Gong Jin, the historical experience is worth noting. We cannot suffer the same losses as Liu Biao. We must take precautions and take nip in the bud. Take action immediately to eliminate Liu Cong while he is still young."

In the bud.”

Although Zhou Yu agreed with Sun Quan's analysis, when he heard Sun Quan say the word "preparing for a rainy day," he burst into laughter and said to himself: "My lord, you have been studying very hard at home these days and have made a lot of progress. Not only do you think about things,

It’s clear and the words are brilliant when spoken.”

When Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu speechless and laughing, he asked: "Why is Gong Jin laughing? What am I saying?"

Zhou Yu quickly changed his words and said: "Zhou Yu laughed, my lord is smart and wise, and has a far-sighted vision. Because he was happy, he became happy for a moment.

Since my lord has said this, Zhou Yu will firmly support my lord's decision to conquer Jingzhou. Please tell me clearly what kind of results will be achieved in this crusade against Jingzhou?"

"Does this need to be said, Gong Jin? Root out Liu Biao's family, avenge my father, and occupy the land in Jingzhou for our own Soochow."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu pondered for a while, raised his head and said, "My lord, Zhou Yu is thinking about how to achieve his goal all the time. However, my lord, have you ever thought about it? When Jingzhou and Soochow fought, it was Cao Cao who gained. Even though Cao Cao

Currently, there is no ability to come over and regain Jingzhou and Soochow, but sooner or later Cao Cao will do so.

Sigh. Let’s be honest, my lord, the real opponent of Soochow is Cao Cao, not Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao was busy in Hebei while watching the movements of Jingzhou and Soochow. He wished that the two families would be killed so that both sides would be injured, so that he could profit from it."

When Zhou Yu said this, Sun Quan thought that he did not agree to conquer Jingzhou, so he asked: "Gong Jin, according to what you said, you do not agree to conquer Jingzhou?"

"My lord, Zhou Yu has been deeply loved by my lord for two generations. Do you dare not to repay my lord with all your heart and brains?"

Zhou Yu's lifelong goal is to level the world and support his lord as the master of the world. However, the goal is the goal, and the action is the action. To achieve the goal, you must act carefully and choose the right opportunity.

Judging from the general situation, Jingzhou is only suitable to be our ally. Of course, it is only a temporary ally and not suitable to be an enemy.

Only when Soochow and Jingzhou unite can they cope with Cao Cao's future attacks. Otherwise, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit. When the two families fight, only Cao Cao will benefit."

Sun Quan was silent after hearing this. After staying for a while, he raised his head and asked: "According to Gong Jin's words, from now on we will take the initiative to join forces with Jingzhou and wait to deal with Cao Cao?"

"Yes, my lord. However, joining forces will never make Jingzhou stronger than us. We still have to consume Jingzhou's strength, wait for opportunities, and then conquer Jingzhou after defeating Cao Cao."

Sun Quan was silent again after hearing this, and after thinking for a while he asked: "In this case, Gong Jin, tell me, how should we consume Jingzhou's strength now?"
