Chapter 416 Sun Zhongmou is anxious

Sun Hao left with hatred, and suddenly the scene that almost reached the boiling point cooled down. Zhuge Liang watched Sun Hao swing his sleeves and slowly sat down at the same time.

After Sun Quan inspected the crowd without anger, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Mr. Zhuge, Zhongmou has understood Uncle Liu's intention. Mr. Zhuge, you also know the result of the confrontation with the super hegemon Cao Cao, so Zhong Mou needs to discuss the alliance between Jiangdong and Uncle Liu in depth with other generals..."

When Zhuge Liang heard Sun Quan's remarks, he directly felt that Sun Quan's resistance to Liu Bei had turned into a normal state. As long as Sun Quan's consciousness changes, Sun Quan will be soberly aware of the result of not fighting against Cao Cao Cao... The first high-level debate with Jiangdong has such an effect, and Zhuge Liang is very satisfied.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said to Sun Quan, "Sun Hou, Liang understands what you mean! Liang, follow the orders of the Marquis Sun!" Sun Quan nodded to Zhuge's highlights with satisfaction, and then chatted with Zhuge Liang easily and casually. The content of the chat between the two was nothing more than the situation and direction of the world, but Zhuge Liang's origin and growth experience... Out of the taboo of the Huang clan, Zhuge Liang deliberately concealed the inheritance of his Taoism.

For Zhuge Liang's deliberate concealment, Sun Quan and other generals, including Zhuge Jin, can also accept: Who can have no secrets? As long as Zhuge Liang is on their standpoint, and as long as Zhuge Liang uses it for them, who cares where Zhuge Liang's Taoism comes from?

After having a rich lunch at Sun Quan's mansion, Zhuge Liang returned to the post station. Zhuge Liang stayed in the post station, closed the door and waited for the results of Sun Quan's discussion.

After Zhuge Liang left Sun Quan's mansion, other Jiangdong civil officials and military generals also saluted Sun Quan one after another. Of course, Zhuge Jin is as steady as Mount Tai kneeling in place. To Zhuge Jin's surprise, at this difficult time of choice, Sun Quan did not keep him, but let him go back to his house to rest. What is this? What a disguised eviction order. Before Zhuge Jin left, he turned his head and looked at Sun Quan, who was as quiet as a statue. Sun Quan nodded to him calmly.

Zhuge Jin felt Sun Quan's calmness and left at ease. Before, he was afraid that Sun Quan would take down his brother Zhuge Liang on the spot without saying a word, and then tortured Liu Bei's whereabouts... Zhuge Jin's figure disappeared at the door. Sun Quan jumped up from his seat like a rabbit, and then walked quickly to the back hall.

In the secret room of the back hall, Sun Quan paced back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, there was a roar of thunder from the east wall of the secret room. The thunder lasted for half an hour before it stopped abruptly. After the secret room was quiet, a black light burst out from the east wall. After the black light disappeared, a young man in a black Taoist robe appeared in front of Sun Quan out of thin air. Sun Quan looked at the young man with concern.

"Ma Yi visited Sun Hou!" The young man bowed and said salutely. The young man is Ma Yi, the talent recruited by Sun Quan. Ma Yi's speech and insight made Sun Quan feel refreshed and benefited a lot. After following Sun Quan, Ma Yi studied hard in Sun Quan's mansion. Sun Quan's private collection of books are extremely precious. These books were taken by Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, after defeating Dong Zhuo and capturing the palace.

Ma Yi buried his head in these ancient books as soon as he had time. He also learned to increase his knowledge and talent by reading these ancient books, and Ma Yi, who has excellent intelligence, cracked the cultivation method of "five elements array" from a tattered ancient book. The five-e elements array is an ancient array. In ancient times, it was quite popular and popular. It is a formation in the military, and on practitioners suitable for practitioners, it is the cultivation method of using the body as the five-e elements array.

The five-e elements array, ordinary generals can be arranged on the battlefield, and as a specific method of cultivation, it is extremely talented: the body of the practitioner who practices this array must be the innate balance of the five elements, which is indispensable.

And Ma Yi is a talented man born with a balanced five elements. In just a few years, Ma Yi's practice of "Five Elements Array" has been able to create a scene of thunder and lightning with two elements of gold and water: thunder can attack people's minds, and the power of lightning is no less than the attack power of super generals.

Sun Quan stared at Ma Yi and nodded with satisfaction. In Sun Quan's understanding: Ma Yi is the same type of talent as Zhuge Liang, and they are all super counselors who have achieved Taoism. Other confidant generals, such as Zhou Yu, have super-class planning ability. What is valuable is that Zhou Yu's own martial arts skills are also innate. Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Gao Shun and Surman, including Tai Shici, who has been injured and ill, are loyal to themselves. If the number of ordinary soldiers in Jiangdong is enough, look at the sky. Next, who is the enemy? What about Cao Cao?

However, the struggle for power and profit between high-level officials over the years has greatly weakened Jiangdong's strength. The internal problems have not been solved. What did Jiangdong use to fight against Cao Cao's invasion? ... Sun Quan's belief turned to the aspect of confrontation with Cao Cao, and suddenly he couldn't do it.

Sun Quan and Ma Yi sat down. Sun Quan told Ma Yi about Liu Bei's alliance with Jiang Dong to fight against Cao Cao, hoping that Ma Yi could give him an idea. At this time, for Sun Quan, Ma Yi had the same harmonious relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Cao, and Ma Yi could also affect Sun Quan's final choice.

After thinking for a while, Ma Yi said to Sun Quan, "Sun Hou, from the analysis of the information I learned, I have made the following judgments: First, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, began to have no intention to invade Jiangdong. It is indeed Liu Bei who deliberately led Cao Cao to the boundary of Jiangdong; second, as Zhuge Liang said, even if Cao Cao did not have In order to seek Jiangdong, a few years later, Cao Cao Cao will continue to conquer Jiangdong in the name of "unifying the world". Third, the problem we are facing at present is: either to form an alliance with Liu Bei, rely on the Yangtze River to fight against Cao Cao, or cooperate with Cao Cao to pursue Liu Bei... Sun Hou, allied with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, the degree of danger, It can be imagined, but if Cao Cao's army is allowed to move freely in Jiangdong, in case Cao Cao breaks his face and fights back, what will we use to resist? In this way, there is no natural danger like the Yangtze River to stop Cao Jun, which is also equally dangerous... However, we have no third way to go at present..."

Sun Quan listened to Ma Yi's analysis and nodded frequently. Ma Yiti felt that his words affected Sun Quan's thinking, so he analyzed more deeply and said, "Sun Hou, there is an insoluble contradiction between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and we also have hidden dangers of contradictions with Cao Cao: as far as my subordinates know, a few years ago, Cao Cao led the army to capture the Bohai County City that Liu Bei was guarded at that time, and later Liu Bei He also joined hands with Lv Bu, the Marquis of Wen, to capture Cao Cao's old nest, the state city of Gongzhou. After Yuan Shu ascended the throne in Huainan, Liu Bei and Cao Cao joined hands to fight against Yuan Shu... After Yuan Shu was defeated by Liu Cao's allied forces, Cao Cao Cao sent elite troops to defeat Liu Bei... At this time, Liu Bei defected to Dang again. Yuan Shao, the hegemon of the north at that time... Although Liu Bei has been defeated repeatedly, his power is becoming more and more powerful. It is estimated that this makes Cao worry about taboos, which makes Cao Cao desperate to destroy Liu Bei..."

"Well, Ma joined the army, your analysis is reasonable..." Sun Quan followed Ma Yi's thinking and said, "As far as Zhongmou knows, in the confrontation between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, if Liu Bei was not considerate of the safety of the people, Liu Bei would not have been defeated repeatedly..."

Ma Yi heard the words and nodded one after another. Ma Yi knows that in terms of caring about the suffering of the people, Sun Quan and Liu Bei are similar. They are not like the Yuan brothers who can only show off. Their feelings for ordinary people are sincere. They basically think about what the people think and what the people are anxious about... It is also Sun Quan who has this mentality that he let his uncle Sun Hao wantonly exclude. He allowed Sun Hao to do evil in the Jiangdong boundary. Sun Quan expects that his uncle Sun Hao will wake up one day...

Ma Yi looked into the distance and continued to say slowly, "Sun Hou, so: the contradiction between Liu Bei and Cao Cao is personal, a personal grudge. This kind of hatred is extremely difficult to resolve; Sun Hou, why is there a potential contradiction between Jiang Dong and Cao Cao? Because I am a local force, and Cao Cao represents the central court. In this way, sooner or later, Cao Cao will invade Jiangdong, and finally fulfill his wish to unify the world... Sun Hou, Cao Cao's wish, every man has it! Sun Hou, you also know the current situation of the senior management of Jiangdong Group: except for your uncle General Sun Hao, who agrees with Cao Cao, other senior generals do not agree with Cao Cao's concept. Therefore, there is a contradiction between us and Cao Cao, and this contradiction is not easily resolved... And we and Liu Bei have no spear for the time being. Shield conflict..."

"Oh, Ma joined the army. Do you mean: We are going to form an alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao?!" Sun Quan said softly with some understanding.

Ma Yi looked at Sun Quan, and a layer of fog suddenly floated in his eyes. He said with a blank face, "Sun Hou, allied with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao is tantamount to walking a tightrope and dancing on the edge of the cliff... At this time, Cao Cao's side is full of troops. It is said that it has reached 500,000 people, and Liu Bei's side plus Liu Qi's The army is only 30,000; Sun Hou, you also know that in the past few years, due to the toss of Sun Hao, the foreign population of Jiangdong's boundary has been expelled. In this way, the source of troops in Jiangdong has been almost cut off. Because Sun Hao's selfless and vigorous implementation of the policy of reducing troops by the imperial court, the regular army of Jiangdong boundary is not 80,000... With 110,000 troops to fight against Cao Cao's 50th army, even with the support of the Yangtze River, the degree of danger can be imagined... Sun Hou, what if the coalition fails at that time? In case our allied forces with Liu Bei defeat Cao Cao, how can we and Liu Bei divide Jingzhou? ..."

Ma Yi's reasoning, Sun Quan obviously did not think of this level. Under Ma Yi's prompt, Sun Quan fell into thinking: Yes, even if he joins hands with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, what are the chances of winning? If you defeat Cao Cao, how can you share the victory with Liu Bei? ...Maybe he doesn't care about Liu Bei's gradual strength, but from a comprehensive perspective, will Jiang Dong let Liu Bei rise strongly under his own eyes? ... From Liu Bei's point of view, once Cao Cao is defeated, Liu Bei himself has no malice towards Jiangdong, but his generals and advisers are not necessarily. They are their own masters, and nothing can be done...

Ten thousand steps back and say, even if I decide to form an alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, cut the chaos quickly, and live and die in the first battle, can his uncle Sun Hao agree? ...Internal worries and external troubles make Sun Quan have a headache. The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became. Finally, he covered his head with his hands in pain and shook his head.
