Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and finally said to Zhang Zhao with a heavy tone: "My master Liu Bei was once defeated by Cao Cao, and finally joined Liu Biao. At that time, the army was less than a thousand, and the generals were no more than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and Xin also became a mountain." It is a small remote county with a small population and lack of food. My lord can only take shelter here temporarily. At that time, Cao Cao's army sent troops, and my lord was very brave. With this weak force, he defeated the mighty Cao army several times. If it wasn't because Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, but my lord didn't know the truth of the matter, that's why the defeat happened. Gaozu was defeated by Xiang Yu several times that day, and he succeeded in the last battle. Could it be because of Han Xin? Is it the credit? This is because the great ancestor, for the rise and fall of the country, and the safety of the country, fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, so that the 400-year-old country of the Han Dynasty is now. Now I am talking about this with a group of people like you. It's just a joke."

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Zhao suddenly looked a little doubtful and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to refute.

6 Chapter Thirty

At this time, Zhang Zhao's complexion became a little heavy. Looking at Zhuge Liang in front of him, he didn't know how to refute Zhuge Liang.

At this time, suddenly beside Zhang Zhao, a middle-aged Confucian scholar stood up, and said to Zhuge Liang with a serious expression: "I heard that Cao Cao now has an army of 30, which is enough to directly annex Jiangxia!"

"I don't know your Excellency Gao's name?" Zhuge Liang looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar calmly, and asked the middle-aged Confucian scholar with a heavy tone.

"It's true in Xiayu!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him calmly, and said to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone.

Zhuge Liang chuckled, and then said to Yu Fan in a calm tone: "Cao Cao's soldiers are all mobs, even if he has a million thorns, he is nothing to be afraid of."

Yu Fan heard Zhuge Liang's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said calmly to Zhuge Liang: "I heard that when Liu Bei's army was defeated in Dangyang, he was poor in Jiangxia, and there were only tens of thousands of people, but he asked for help in Jiangxia. Liu Qi, the prefect here, is now here to say that he is not afraid of Cao Cao's army, what a shameless boast!"

After hearing what Yu Fan said, Zhuge Liang's face suddenly became a little heavy, he thought for a while, and then said to Yu Fan with a big laugh: "My lord, your tens of thousands of troops can't resist the hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's men. The army, however, was able to safely retreat to Jiangxia to wait for the opportunity. But now Jiangdong soldiers have enough food and occupy the danger of the Yangtze River, but you are persuading your lord to surrender to the Cao thief, regardless of the ridicule of the world. From this point of view, my lord is really I'm not afraid of Cao thief!"

What Zhuge Liang said suddenly made Yu Fan's complexion become heavy, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute Zhuge Liang.

"Under Zhang Wen, I heard what Mr. Zhuge said today. Do you, Zhuge Liang, want to imitate Zhang Yi and Su Qin and say Dongwu?" At this moment, a scribe stood aside and looked at Zhuge Liang calmly and said.

Zhuge Liang listened to what Zhang Wen said in front of him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said to Zhang Wen in a calm tone: "You think Su Qin and Zhang Yi are lobbyists, but you don't know that Su Qin and Zhang Yi are heroes, and Su Qin can wear it." The Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, Zhang Yi can become the Prime Minister of the Qin State twice, all of which have a strategy of helping the world, which is not comparable to those of you who are afraid of the strong, bully the weak, and fear swords and swords. Now, Cao Cao has not yet sent troops. Do you dare to laugh at Su Qin and Zhang Yi when you ask for surrender in such fear?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Wen in front of him calmly, and said to Zhang Wen in a calm tone.

Zhang Wen felt helpless after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, shook his head helplessly, and then sat down.

"Xue Zong, I'm here to experience Mr. Zhuge's eloquence!" At this moment, a young man stood up from the side and looked at Zhuge Liang with a calm expression and said.

"Please!" Zhuge Liang looked at the young man calmly and said softly.

"I don't know what kind of person Mr. Zhuge Liang thinks Cao Cao is." Xue Zong looked at Zhuge Liang calmly and asked.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and then replied to Xue Zong: "Cao Cao is a traitor, why do you ask such unnecessary questions?"

Xue Zong listened to what Zhuge Liang said, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said calmly to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. You have already occupied two-thirds of the world, and the hearts of the people belong to you, but your lord is ignorant of the sky and wants to compete with Cao Hong forcefully, just like striking a stone with an egg, how could he not be defeated by Cao Cao?"

Hearing what the other party said, Zhuge Liang immediately looked a little angry, and said to Xue Zong in a sharp tone: "How can you say such words without father and king? People live between heaven and earth, and they should be loyal and filial. Ben. Now that you are a Han official, but you do such an insulting thing, is this the morality of a courtier? Now Cao thief’s ancestors all eat Han’s salary, but he doesn’t know how to serve the court. Everyone in the world is angry with the usurping heart, but now you are talking about the number of days? After all, you are really a person without father and king, and I don’t want to argue with you anymore!”

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Xue Zong was ashamed, then lowered his head helplessly, and sat back in his seat.

"Although Cao Cao narrowed down the emperor to order the princes, he is also a descendant of Cao Shen, but I heard that although the lord of your family is a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, there is no research. In the past, he was just a person who weaved mats and sold shoes. Now How can we resist Cao Cao?" At this moment, a young scribe stood up from the other side of the seat, and said to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone.

"Who are you?" Zhuge Liang looked at the young man opposite and asked calmly.

"I'm in the Lu family, Lu Ji!" The young man looked at Zhuge Liang and said calmly to Zhuge Liang.

"You are the Lu Ji who was in Yuan Shu's arms? Sit down and listen to me. Although Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Xiangguo, most of them are Han officials, but now he is bullying his father and has no eyes. It's like despising our ancestors, and my family's main attack is a dignified royal descendant. Even the current emperor recognizes the identity of my master. Besides, Gaozu was just a pavilion chief, and finally possessed the original identity of my master in the world , what's the shame, those opinions of yours are just children's opinions." Zhuge Liang listened to what the other person said, confirmed that there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then replied to Lu Ji in a calm tone.

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Lu Ji's complexion suddenly became a little heavy. He didn't know how to answer, so he had to sit down quietly.

"Zhuge Liang, you are making too much of an argument. It's not a political argument. Stop talking. You must use articles and allusions." At this moment, Luo Tong stood up and said to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone.

Zhuge Liang chuckled, and then said to Luo Tong calmly: "Generally picking sentences is something that only the world's ruthless people would do. How can such a person be able to stabilize the country? Look at the ancient ones like Jiang Ziya and Yi Yin." I prefer excerpts and quotations in my life, and people like you are only suitable for writing and writing."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Luo Tong was immediately dejected, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Bing stood up quickly, and said to Zhuge Liang with a heavy tone: "Zhuge Liang, you are full of big talk, so you may not have real talent."

Zhuge Liang laughed out loud when he heard what he said, and then said to Cheng Bing: "Confucian scholars have the difference between a gentleman and a villain. A gentleman has the beautiful qualities of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and observance of righteousness and evil. As for villains? They only follow the rules. , Showing off the article, compared to the next, although you write a good article, you don't have a strategy to stabilize the world, and now you people are willing to bow down to the Cao thief, this is the behavior of villains."

Immediately, the faces of the civil servants around became a little pale. Seeing Zhuge Liang standing there, no one dared to stand up and argue with Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Lu Su, who was standing by the side, looked at Zhuge Liang with a calm expression. The talent of the dead man was truly extraordinary. If the current enemy was Cao Cao, Lu Su might have killed Zhuge Liang to avoid future troubles for Soochow.

"You people, Mr. Kong Ming is a genius today. You are embarrassing him with your words, not respecting the etiquette of the guests. Now Cao Cao's army is going south. You don't think about ways to retreat from the enemy, and it's embarrassing for Jiangdong to argue here. At this time, an old man stood out from Wu Qiang's side, looked at Zhuge Liang with a serious expression, and then looked at the civil servant's side, and said in a serious tone.

Wen Chen looked at the old man who stood up and did not dare to refute that this person was Huang Gai.As the elder of the three dynasties, Huang Gai's status was second only to Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, and even the current Sun Quan treated him very courteously.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" At this moment, there was a coughing sound from behind the screen, and everyone looked behind the screen.

After a while, I saw a young man slowly walking out from behind the screen. He was dressed in a fine attire, with blue eyes and purple beard, and a dignified appearance. This man is not Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, who else?

Sun Quan gently held his sleeve to cover his mouth, then coughed a few times, then put down his sleeve, looked indifferently at the surrounding Wenwu and Zhuge Liang in the lobby, with a hint of a smile on his face at this time Said: "The weather has become cold recently, and I occasionally feel the wind and cold. I just felt unwell. I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

Chapter 631 Convincing Sun Quan

Sun Quan sat on the main seat with a calm expression. The surrounding civil and military ministers all looked at Sun Quan's appearance, and carefully sat on his seat without daring to say a word.

"This is Mr. Kong Ming." Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Liang calmly, and said to Zhuge Liang in a gentle tone.

"I have seen General Sun before Zhuge Kongming." Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Quan with a questioning look in his eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said to Sun Quan in a gentle tone.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Sun Quan said calmly to the guards beside him, "Give me a seat for Mr. Zhuge, you people are serious, Mr. Zhuge has been standing for so long, and you don't even prepare a seat for him. "

The surrounding civil and military officials looked at Sun Quan's words with shame and lowered their heads in shame.

Zhuge Liang saw that the guards on the side had prepared a seat, so he thanked Sun Quan for giving him the seat, and then looked at Sun Quan with an extremely calm expression, thinking in his heart: Sun Quan looks handsome, and there are some cities like that. I'm afraid he can't be easily persuaded, so he can only use the aggressive method.

"I heard that Lu Su said that you are talented and resourceful. I can see you today, and I hope you can teach me." Sun Quan clapped his hands slowly, asked the servants to prepare the tea, and looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile on his lips. Staring at himself with some curiosity, Zhuge Liang asked calmly.

"I don't have much talent and learning. If the general wants to ask me, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach the general much." Zhuge Liang shook his head modestly after hearing Sun Quan's compliment, and said to Sun Quan in a tone of refusal.

"I heard that your lord Liu Bei had a confrontation with Cao Cao recently, but do you know how many Cao Cao's army has?" Sun Quan asked Zhuge Liang calmly after stroking his beard after listening to Zhuge Liang's modest words.

Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Quan's curious look, hesitated for a moment, and said to Sun Quan, "I'm afraid there are more than 30 soldiers and horses in total."

When Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang with a heavy expression on his face, but seeing Zhuge Liang's smiling face, Lu Su began to have doubts.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Sun Quan's face immediately became heavy, and then he looked at Zhuge Liang with some doubts, and asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice: "Is there any fraud in Mr. Zhuge's 30 yuan?"

After Zhuge Liang heard Sun Quan's words, he looked at Sun Quan with a calm expression, and then said to Sun Quan in a calm tone: "Cao Cao originally had a Qingzhou army of one hundred million in Yanzhou, but now that Yuan Shao has been suppressed, and Hebei's army has almost 10,000 troops. +, now the Central Plains is recruiting new recruits, at least another 50. Now the army that has acquired Jingzhou is almost 30. In this way, the soldiers of Cao Cao’s commander-in-chief? There are at least [-] million. I say [-] now, but it is just Lowest estimate."

At this time, Lu Su's expression on the side suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with wide eyes, trying to signal Zhuge Liang to say less, but Zhuge Liang just pretended not to see it.

"What about Cao Cao's generals?" At this time, Sun Quan's face became extremely heavy, and he looked at Zhuge Liang who was shaking the feather fan with a gloomy expression, and said to Zhuge Liang in a hoarse tone.

"Cao Cao's generals are all capable of reconnaissance and surrender. Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahouyuan are all confidantes and beloved generals who can outnumber a hundred. Xu Huang and Li Tong are all capable of conquering and fighting. People, as for Bai Ren, the God of Killing, if he also follows Cao Cao to the south, my lord will have no place to stand." Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Quan's gloomy look with a calm face at this time, and said to Sun Quan with a heavy tone .

"Then Cao Cao has calmed down the land of Jingxiang, does he still have any intention of going east?" Sun Quan's face turned dark at this time, seeing Zhuge Liang's calm expression, he asked Zhuge Liang hesitantly .

"Now Cao Cao is preparing warships along the river. If he doesn't want to annex Soochow, what's the point of doing this?" Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Quan calmly at this time, and said to Sun Quan in a calm tone.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Sun Quan's face suddenly became heavy, and then he sat silently on the seat, thought for a while, slowly raised his head, looked at the calm Zhuge Liang and said, "Now Cao Cao has annexed us. I mean, whether I want to fight or surrender, can you rent a gentleman to give me a decision?"

"I have something to say, but I'm afraid the general won't obey." Zhuge Liang listened to Sun Quan's words, and seeing Sun Quan's appearance, his plan was almost half completed, so he said to Sun Quan calmly.

"Mr. Zhuge, please speak frankly. I am willing to hear Mr. Zhuge's high opinion." Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Liang, and said to Zhuge Liang with a heavy tone.
