Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Second: God Conspiracy Zhuge Liang
Chapter 522: A magic plan for Zhuge Liang
Time is fair and strategy is relative. Those who plot against others will naturally be calculated by others.
On the same day, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to attack Jiangxia. Although Cao Hong had similar experience, he did not get the ambush set up by Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang's cruelty in burning Jiangxia still left a deep impression on Cao Cao. After burning Jiangxia,
While these superficial news was spreading, Lu Su followed Zhuge Liang's orders and secretly visited Cao Cao in the unknown.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Su, who was not famous, and saw that this man was not very old, but he was handsome and looked very honest. The demeanor of a gentleman made him feel that this man was absolutely doing things.
He was at ease and would not deceive others. Therefore, although Cao Cao did not know what Lu Su represented Sun Quan to do, he was still very happy and looked down upon Lu Su.
Cao Cao observed for a while, looked at Lu Su and asked, "You and my family will fight one day. Now the war is coming. What's the matter with you here? Could it be that the child of the Sun family is afraid and will you beg for surrender?"
"Mr. Cao is the hero of the world. Why do you say this child?" Lu Su attacked seriously.
The more this makes people feel like what a gentleman says, the more angry and value it makes people feel. Because a gentleman will not speak lightly, his words may represent his own intention, or most
People's views. Therefore, the treacherous and sloppy Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Indeed, Sun Quan fought against him and did not hesitate to implement the scorched earth strategy. How could he send someone to surrender to him?
However, Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero, and his misunderstandings are only a little bit. Cao Cao then turned into a love for Lu Su. This is a talent. In the face of his own pressure, he still speaks freely. He is neither humble nor arrogant. It is true.
It's so rare.
Cao Cao asked again: "Since it is not, what should you do here?"
"The disaster of Cao Gong is right in front of me, and I am here to relieve the danger of Cao Gong."
"I swept across the Liuhe River, and the flags were invincible in front of me. The emperor valued it, and the officials below were supported by all officials. When I left Jingzhou, all officials in Jingzhou welcomed me. What disaster would I do? What danger would I do? Don't let me speak lightly and threaten me.
I." Cao Cao raised his face and shouted.
"Hehe. Mr. Cao. Don't you think about this first? You swept across Liuhe. Is Liu Ming from Youzhou not following your words?"
Lu Su immediately took Cao Cao's rib fork. Cao Cao's most headache and feared was Liu Ming from Youzhou. Therefore, when Lu Su said this, Cao Cao's arrogance was three points shorter.
He asked quickly: "What does this mean by sir? Can you please say it clearly?"
Lu Su said seriously: "Duke Cao, you are a master of the world and can be an enemy of you. There are only one or two people in the world. However, your real opponent is not my Lord Wu Hou. But by Zhou
Liu Ming.”
Speaking of this, Lu Su looked directly at Cao Cao. Cao Cao did not hide his eyes and said word by word: "The Grand Marshal Liu of Youzhou is my in-laws and a pillar of the country. He is not my enemy.
Don’t be so clever!”
"Why did Duke Cao do this self-deception? What does a relative in-law count? Li Ji established his son and Shen died. He was the throne, and his father and brother were enemies. Even Duke Wen of Jin, who was a wise ruler, had a relative in-law with Chu and was also accused of the emperor.
After Chu Daxiang, he still became enemies with Chu because of the overlord's struggle. Now since Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics, the court has become weak and the heroes have emerged. Liu Ming has successively eliminated Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du, and then Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo,
Now that you are united in the north, you say that he is not your opponent, I am afraid that even if Taiwei Liu can remember your in-laws, his subordinates will not. You are the hero of the world, so there is no need to do this in this situation.
Let me tell you again." Lu Su also looked at Cao Cao without any hesitation and said frankly.
What a honest and honest person says is always easier to believe. And the allusions that Lu Su said are also clear to Cao Cao. And for the current leader of one side, who is talented and wise
Cao Cao said that Cao Cao also deeply understood that there are many things in his current position, and he is in control. If he had no ambitions and could not be respected by his subordinates, then his subordinates would have been far away from him long ago.
And he left. The so-called: Good birds choose trees to rest. Good ministers choose masters to serve. This is the reason. Put your heart in mind, if you can't do this, then Liu Ming will never be such a person. Thinking that those destructions are in the hands of Liu Ming.
The princes above were extremely strong and fierce, Gongsun Zan from western Liaoning, Gongsun Du from Liaodong, and Yuan Shao from Jizhou had a wide connection with him, and Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou was extremely cruel. None of these princes were easy to deal with. This shows that Liu Ming would really be without
Liu Ming will not have such great achievements now if he is a person who is envious of his children's love.
Cao Cao, who thought about this, immediately took a breath of air conditioning and sweated down his back. Liu Ming was definitely the kind of master who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. He was still confused by him before.
However, in front of Lu Su, Cao Cao still held his own support and said: "Not to mention that Liu Taiwei is a loyal minister of a country, loyal to the country. He will not be enemies of me or oppose the court. Just talk about Liu Tai.
If Wei had the intention to dominate, who could stop his millions of troops? Why didn't he send troops to attack me and expand his hegemony? It should be noted that in the past, Yuan Shao, Jizhou, four generations and three dukes, his disciples and officials were spread all over the world, and he had five soldiers.
Ten thousand, he was in charge of Jizhou, but because he was an enemy of Liu Taiwei, he collapsed in a blink of an eye and his body and head were different. Dong Zhuo, Liangzhou, became a tiger and wolf. The heroes of the world fought against him, but they could not achieve their full achievements. The tiger was entrusted by him.
Liangzhou formed a Xiongnu outside and a million soldiers inside. After angering Liu Taiwei sent troops, he also beheaded in public within a month, and his great foundation turned into nothing. This proves that Liu Taiwei was a loyal minister of a country.
.I won't do anything to mess up."
Although Cao Cao said righteously and sternly, there was no trace of doubt on his face. But Lu Su still felt Cao Cao's shaken. Lu Su still looked directly at Cao Cao and said seriously: "Cao Gong. Now that Liu Ming in Youzhou is not passing through
Jiang attacked you just didn't want to lose too much. Moreover, if you were not as good as Liu Ming's land, population, military strength, and wealth, then Liu Ming didn't want to live
With more losses in strength, you can tolerate and not attack you. But if your troops are greatly damaged and your territory is greatly expanded, your physical, financial and population have also expanded dramatically, then Liu Ming can still sit still
Have you recovered and surpassed him?"
Cao Cao had nothing to say for a moment.
Lu Su looked at Cao Cao and without any concessions, he added again: "Duke Cao, now you are leading the troops south, and half of Jingzhou is yours. Previously, my Sun family helped Cao Gong acquire the territory of Yuan Shu.
It can be considered affordable. But if you force yourself to attack our master, our master will definitely be better than to be broken. The fertile soil of Jiangxia will turn into scorched earth. It can prove our master's determination. And I got the soldiers of Yuan Shu in Jiangdong.
Getting Liu Bei's soldiers, with 500,000 strong soldiers, and a decisive battle, even if you are defeated in the end, it will definitely cause you to lose your troops and generals and be seriously injured. The military book says: The way to fight in a military can be injured.
One thousand enemies will damage eight hundred of them. This is even a famous saying. Cao Gong must know it. But it will take a year or two to form a new army. It is even more difficult to supplement the weapons and food. Therefore, you and I will fight against the enemy.
In the end, Liu Ming would only be cheap and let him unify the world. Cao Gong is a wise man, so there is no need to say much about the benefits and disadvantages here. If Cao Gong still decided to go his own way and Su went back and forth. But one fight."
Zhuge Liang sent an honest and righteous gentleman like Lu Su to negotiate with Cao Cao, which was considered to be the right person. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. If he was not an honest person who told the truth, he would not shake Cao Cao's firm belief at all. As long as Cao Cao believed it,
That would be much easier. With Cao Cao's intelligence and talent, Cao Cao naturally has a clear idea of how to cooperate.
Finally, during the mutually harmonious and fierce discussion, Lu Su and Cao Cao decided that Sun Quan could secretly submit to Cao Cao and pay 300,000 dan of rice and grain to Cao Cao every year. However, Jiangdong, Jiangnan, and Jingnan Yangtze River.
The territory south, which is the territory that Sun Quan actually controls, is under Sun Quan's control alone, and Cao Cao is not allowed to intervene. Moreover, Cao Cao also has to give Sun Quan some blank imperial edicts to make a letter of appointment.
This result made both sides more satisfied. Sun Quan could end up with temporary security so as to facilitate the uneasiness of the internal forces and condense into real power. Cao Cao could not only get 300,000 levies per year without spending one soldier and one soldier.
The tribute of rice and grain was also obtained by an ally.
For both Cao Cao and Sun Quan, since Liu Ming is now the biggest potential opponent, of course, he must kill Liu Ming first and then make a decision. Of course, everyone was happy.
After the negotiations ended, Lu Su followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and proposed to Cao Cao that he would temporarily carry out fake attacks to anesthetize Liu Ming and secretly develop his strength. He immediately received Cao Cao's affirmation. As long as he could free up his skills, he could do his best.
Come and train new recruits to fight against Liu Ming in the future. What's wrong with this?
After Cao Cao agreed again, Lu Su once again reminded Cao Cao that there might be Liu Ming's secret spy in the territory, not to alert the enemy. This also attracted great attention from Cao Cao.
When Lu Su was envoy to Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang had already taken Ma Liang and named Prince Liu Qi. In the name of Liu Biao's death was not clear and unjust, but was caused by a traitor, and said that he had surrendered all the boundaries of Jingnan.
The real power. After all, in Jingbei, which is far from the control of the Cai family and the Kuai family, the Ma family still has a certain influence in Jingnan. Ma Liang's reputation has a significant influence among scholars. Han Xuan and Guiyang in Changsha
Zhao Fan, Jin Xuan of Wuling, and Liu Du of Lingling all surrendered to Sun Quan under Zhuge Liang's clever words and righteousness.
These people are nothing, there is one person here who is very popular with Sun Quan, that is the extremely brave Liu Qing. When the Sun family was enemies of Liu Biao, Liu Qing's courage was what made Sun Quan and the others.
I have experienced it for a long time. Almost no one in the Sun family can be a rival to this person except Sun Ce.
In addition to Liu Qing, there is another general who is also skilled in swordsmanship and horses, which is quite popular with Sun Quan. But for some reason, it is just that Zhuge Liang is not attracted to him, so it is Wei Ran. However, Wei Ran followed the crowd.
Zhuge Liang didn't care much about him, but he was annoyed when he saw it. He simply stopped watching it.
After Lu Su returned to Sun Quan with the news of victory, Zhuge Liang used the Youzhou spies that had been discovered before to infiltrate the news that Sun Cao was constantly fighting to Youzhou. Zhuge Liang was setting up
After all this, in order to fully realize his strategic deployment, Zhou Yu trained again on the one hand, and reunited the original Sun family's troops and the surrendered Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's troops. On the other hand, Lu Su led the troops to command the troops.
Zhao Anshanyue. He quietly led the four groups of 50,000 troops from Nansha, heading straight to Bashu without showing the mountains and without leaking water.
However, Zhuge Liang led his troops to attack Bashu. That was not going to be prepared to attack hard. Not to mention that Cao Cao was still fighting across the river with Sun Quan, even if there was any secret alliance agreement, as long as Cao Cao felt that he could easily take Sun Quan, then Cao Cao would
He would never hesitate. Moreover, Liu Ming from Youzhou was still eyeing him. Although the spies in Youzhou had been monitored in reverse, they would not have any big impact, but if the expansion moves were too big,
If you can't bear to bear the care of Youzhou, you will know the true news from other channels. If Youzhou is causing you to act early, that would be bad.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang wanted to visit the celebrities in Shu first, and then take advantage of the local forces in Shu, and cooperate with the inside and outside to take over Shu. After all, the successful examples of the four groups of Jingzhou and Nansha are already obvious.
But when Zhuge Liang visited Shu this time, the effect was unexpected. The ministers under Liu Zhang and the real power controllers were not as good as those under Liu Biao. At least Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, and
The support and concern of the aristocratic families. Liu Biao made favors to these wealthy families. The wealthy families in Bashu had been cleansed by Liu Yan as early as when Liu Yan was alive. The rest were all hatred and dared not to be angry.
Dare to say that he had obtained old officials from aristocratic families. Some of the more agile and capable people did not accept Liu Zhang's gentleness and mediocrity. If this were not for Liu Zhang's name as an old friend of Liu Ming who could be proud of, those restless ministers would have long known
Where did you go?
With Zhuge Liang's continuous lobbying, not only were the greedy minor officials who were bribed by Zhuge Liang. Even the important officials under Liu Zhang, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Meng Da, etc., were all moved by Zhuge Liang's intention. After all, Liu
Although the prospects there are good, Liu Ming's integrity is also famous. Zhuge Liang exaggerated dozens of times of clever words, these people asked themselves that they could not stand the constraints. And even if they kept their integrity, they would be obedient.
With Liu Ming, it is impossible for Liu Ming to be as relaxed and casual as Liu Zhang. In addition, with Liu Zhang surrendering together, Liu Zhang could get a leisurely prince, but he might not be able to be valued. Instead, he could follow Sun Quan and be even more so
The most important thing is that under Liu Zhang's rule, the troops in Shu were exhausted and were not decent, and there was a deep hatred between Shu and Liu Ming, Zhang Lu, Zhang Song, and Fa Zheng.
With the news blocked, I had no confidence that I could deal with Sun Quan's attack when Liu Ming helped.
Zhang Song and Fa Zheng did not know that Zhuge Liang did not dare to attack Shuzhong with great fanfare. Moreover, they firmly believed that as long as the enemy in Shuzhong encountered, Zhang Lu, who had a grudge against Liu Zhang to kill his mother and brother, would definitely attack Liu Zhang in large numbers.
They don't think that the army that Liu Zhang had not rectified for so many years could fight on both sides and defend against the enemy from both sides.
Especially after Zhuge Liang explained the theory that Liu Ming's land is harmful, he gave these people a title of righteousness, and these people did not hesitate to fall into Zhuge Liang's arms.
People like Zhang Song and Fa Zheng almost represent Liu Zhang's central authority and can definitely influence Liu Zhang's will. After receiving the support of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others, Zhuge Liang immediately changed his strategy, and Zhuge Liang believed that
Liu Zhang's character can directly make Liu Zhang surrender.
Zhuge Liang immediately arranged something and formally paid homage to Liu Zhang as an envoy of the court.
Liu Zhang did not dare to neglect and grandly met Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang used the blank imperial edicts given by Cao Cao to draft an imperial edict to appoint Sun Quan as the governor of Yizhou, promoted Liu Zhang to the Duke of Qingping, and joined the capital. He read it to Liu Zhang.
This imperial edict was definitely a sudden blow to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang, who had no idea at all, didn't know what to do now.
After Liu Zhang asked Zhuge Liang to retreat for the time being, he immediately discussed with his ministers. Naturally, these people were Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others.
Zhang Song immediately said: "The imperial court's priest's will should not be violated lightly. If you rebel, it is unfaithful. Moreover, the old master obtained Bashu and was obtained according to the will of the previous emperor. Now, if you resist the order, the people will not obey it. It is better to obey the will of heaven,
Seek wealth and honor."
Liu Zhang said hesitantly: "Today's son is suspected of being held hostage by Cao Cao. And I even had an appointment with Liu Taiwei of Youzhou. Is this not appropriate?"
Fa Zheng immediately said: "Sir, when Taiwei Liu started his business, he was just a businessman you supported. Now don't you dare to go against his intentions? Are you afraid of others making jokes about you? Besides, Dong Zhuo and others attacked Youzhou earlier.
, You have also assisted Dong Zhuo's military rations in accordance with the will of the court. The merchants are the most revenge, so are you not afraid of him holding grudges with you? What's more, accompanying Wang Pao is an extremely honor and noble person. Even after Liu Ming's reign
, you should respect the present. You should take the initiative to be strong and follow the emperor. The benefits are naturally self-evident. Even if Liu Ming proclaims himself emperor, even the current emperor will be inferior to him.
What kind of facial loss is there? Why not do it?"
Zhang Song and Fa Zheng's words touched Liu Zhang, especially Liu Zhang was originally a child of aristocratic families. Although he was gentle and kind, he still had the pride of some disciples of aristocratic families. Otherwise, he would not have killed Zhang Lu.
My mother forced Zhang Lu to rebel. Liu Ming was originally a small person he promoted, but now he is sitting far above him. This is Liu Zhang's heart disease. Now he is being exploited by Fa Zheng, which immediately caused him to be
