He was waiting for the Shu Han monarchs and ministers to vent their anger enough and make the Soochow envoys laugh enough.
By then, we can get down to business.
Today, Liu Bei received the envoys from the losers like a victor. He was open-minded and felt that the dragon chair became more and more comfortable the more he sat on it.
"What else does Ambassador Wu have to say?" Liu Bei asked after laughing enough.
Guan Suo bowed slightly towards Liu Bei, held the wat and returned to its original position.
Zhuge Jin looked serious: "I want to convey the intention of our Lord to form an alliance with Your Majesty!"
Chen Dao, Liu Bei's vanguard general and the most elite army of the Shu Han Dynasty, the president of Baijie Army, sneered: "In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's territory. On the shore of the land, there are none but the king's ministers! Your Majesty has inherited the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan wants to surrender to your Majesty, why not
Lead everyone back to surrender?"
This posed another problem for Zhuge Jin.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards the Soochow envoy.
Zhuge Jin took a step forward, looked at Chen Dao, and asked, "Who is this general?"
Chen Dao raised his head proudly: "Chen Dao, the vanguard general of the Han Emperor!"
Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "General Chen, do you have three heads and six arms?"
Chen Daoyi was stunned: "What does Wu Shi mean by this?"
Zhuge Jin looks weak and thin, as if he could be knocked down by a gust of wind, but now he looks like a hungry wolf!
"The strength of the two kingdoms of Wu and Shu is basically between them! Wu is protected by three rivers, and Shu is protected by two rivers! Wu cannot swallow Shu, and Shu cannot destroy Wu! This is common sense in the world! Even a three-year-old boy knows this, General Chen
Don’t you know?”
The decisive courage turned into the sound of metal and stone, echoing in the hall for a long time, and the lingering sound lingered in the beams.
These words are equivalent to tearing off all the fig leaves of the two kingdoms of Shu and Wu.
Although you have become emperor, you are still not as good as Gaozu and Shizu.
You simply don't have the ability to dominate the world now.
We dare not proclaim ourselves emperor, and we do not have the right time to do so. However, the Shu and Wei can at most attack our front lines, but cannot cross the Yangtze River to attack our capital city and large areas of territory in the rear.
Chen Dao was speechless.
Zhuge Jin made an impassioned speech:
"Cao Wei is so powerful! No one country can resist it! Wu and Shu are dependent on each other, and they are inseparable! If they form an alliance to fight against Cao, they can coexist. If the internal fighting continues, they will be destroyed by Cao Wei!"
All the civil and military ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty collectively fell silent.
No one can refute what Wu Shi said.
Guan Suo thought, why is it difficult for the three countries to unify?
There are certainly many talented people in our own camp, but not all of them in Wu Wei are trash!
There are also many top elites there.
Moreover, in the early days when heroes were vying for the throne, some princes only had one city, so it was naturally easy for them to be swallowed up by larger forces.
Now, Wei, Shu, and Wu all have a large territory, and the power of a tripod has been established. This general trend of the world cannot be transferred by human power.
Any country can at most win a few battles from the enemy's front line and take advantage, but no one has the ability to capture the enemy's capital!
When Chen Dao saw Zhuge Jin speaking so aggressively, he said angrily: "According to what the Wu envoy said, Sun Quan didn't have an explanation for the last time he defeated the alliance and attacked our Jingzhou secretly?"
"No! My Lord is not wrong!" Zhuge Jin didn't even say a word of apology, insisting that Sun Quan was right.
Zhang Fei's big copper-like eyes were so angry that he screamed: "You are a common man, you Wu Gou plotted against my second brother, and you said that your master is not wrong! If you don't look at the face of Prime Minister Zhuge
, I’ll behead you first!”
Zhang Fei was the top confidant under the Han Emperor. He cursed Soochow with loud words like thunder, which was equivalent to tearing Soochow's dignity to pieces and trampling under his feet.
Except for Zhuge Jin, the Soochow envoys lowered their heads so much that it hurt their necks.
Countless people thought that Zhuge Jin would calm down this time.
Unexpectedly, he strode forward, took three steps, came to Zhang Fei, and cupped his hands:
"Lü Meng took the initiative without permission and ruined the alliance, thus losing the army and generals. My lord lost his integrity and hurt the harmony between the two families! My lord has killed Lü Meng's whole family! My lord has done what he should do. What more can General Zhang do? My lord has nothing to do.
Wrong! If you don’t want me, the Soochow people, to admit your mistake, just go find Lu Meng! I won’t stop you!”
The voice is not loud.
After all, we are on someone else's territory.
But this momentum is quite awesome.
Meng Zhang Fei was so choked that he couldn't say a word!
This level of eloquence is no less impressive than the ancient masters like Su Qin and Zhang Yi.
All the blame is placed on the dead man.
You insist that Sun Quan doesn't know about Lü Meng's sneak attack. You have no ability and no evidence to investigate anyway.
Therefore, if Zhuge Jin said that Sun Quan was right, others must admit that his master was right.
If you are willing to go to the underworld to force Lu Meng to apologize, you can do whatever you like, I won't stop you.
Guan Yu's character was arrogant and could not bear to be inferior. Zhang Fei's character respected scholar-bureaucrats and aristocratic families, but he always whipped his soldiers.
Zhao Zilong does not have the shortcomings of the two of them and is relatively calm, which is very similar to Guan Suo.
Now everyone knows that Wu Shi is speaking with force and reason, but you still can't refute him.
So Zhao Zilong asked: "I have a question to ask the Wu envoy. If Soochow Wu secretly colludes with Cao Cao's thieves next time to attack our country, and then the Lord Wu shirks his responsibility on the grounds of ignorance, what should he do?"
The voice is neither high nor low.
But he hit the mark.
"Uncle Zilong is still very good, he can see the essence of the problem." Guan Suo secretly praised.
On this occasion, I have no place for juniors to speak.
Just now, his uncle gave him a chance to show his face and steal the spotlight. This kind of opportunity is extremely difficult because he has made great contributions.
But other younger generations, not to mention the sons of other generals, even Prince Liu Chan and Zhuge Zhan, the son of Prime Minister Zhuge, the Marquis of Wuxiang, are not qualified to speak.
Guan Suo watched Zhuge Jin and others, waiting to see how this matter would end.
Lao Huang Zhong liked Zhao Zilong the most. Back then, he fell into Cao Cao's plan and was surrounded by layers of people. He lamented that he didn't want me to die here!
When he was in despair, Zhao Zilong single-handedly penetrated the enemy's formation and beheaded the enemy's generals. He was as powerful as a mad tiger. When he came to the front, he shouted, "Old general, mount the horse!"
He grabbed old Huang Zhong, and the two of them rode on the same horse, killed the enemy soldiers, and left in style.
"What Zilong said is true!" the old general asked, holding his white beard: "How does Ambassador Wu explain this?"
Although the old general did not speak in an oppressive tone, he was not angry or intimidating.
Zhang Fei is stupid and can't talk to a scholar. This time when he saw that his family had come back, he also shouted: "Sun Quan's little grandson dares to do anything immoral for the sake of territory! Back then, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own family members for the sake of territory."
My sister used a honey trap against my Majesty, and she blamed it all on Zhou Yu! Now she blames it all on Lu Meng, hahaha! In this way, there is no need to pay salaries to Lu Meng’s family!"
Lao Zhang once again brought joy to the audience.
Amidst the bursts of laughter, everyone thought Wu Shi could not answer this question.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin thought for a moment and said bluntly:
"In troubled times, there are heroes from all over the world, and all the princes in the world, who are not fighting for territory by any means? Is every inch of land obtained by His Majesty the Han Emperor consistent with the way of a saint? Back then, His Majesty came to seek refuge from a desperate situation. Without Soochow's rescue, would His Majesty be where he is today?
?”
Liu Bei fell into deep thought.
Zhuge Jin would never dare to speak out, but he secretly accused Liu Bei, "Isn't it despicable for you to seize Xichuan and seize Liu Zhang's inheritance?"
Aren’t these all means of survival in troubled times?
Who are you to accuse my Lord?
Liu Bei did not rebuke him, but asked a question: "If Wu and Shu form an alliance, destroy the Cao thieves, and share the territory, what will happen next?"
Zhuge Jin said proudly: "Then we have to see who has the destiny of time! Once the destiny of destiny has arrived, it cannot be taken away!"
Again, I didn’t say it clearly, but everyone knew that if that was the case, Shu and Wu would turn against each other and start a fierce battle.
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Crazy life, extremely arrogant!"
Zhuge Jin ignored Zhang Fei and saluted Liu Bei, "Your Majesty and my lord are both heroes of the world! I have finished speaking. If your majesty is willing to form an alliance, I will go and reply to my lord! If your majesty wants to humiliate my lord, my lord
If you humiliate your minister and die, the men of Soochow will be waiting for you!"
Liu Bei laughed.
"Pass on my decree! Treat the envoys from Soochow with a Tailao banquet! The Prime Minister will write a letter for me to reply to the Lord of Wu, approving his proposal to form an alliance!"
Zhuge Liang held the scepter and went out: "I accept the decree!"
