Hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then the voices of discussion gradually grew.

Zhou Yu stood in the center of the crowd, and Ye Lan rolled up his long sleeves.

Until the voices of the people were boiling, he turned his head broadly, only looked at Sun Quan, and said loudly: "The general trend of the Han Dynasty is gone, Cao Ying has a deep foundation, and the rest of the parties are not successful. The current plan is to stand on two sides across the river! "

……

This secret meeting lasted until the end of the night.

Zhuge Jin did not show up until the evening of the next day.

What he brought was not only the slippery blue mud hanging on the foot of the Shu, but also the news that Jiangdong was bestowed by the Han Dynasty and the secret letter from Liu Bei.

This belated appearance is nothing less than a reassuring pill, which is enough to prove Zhou Yu's so-called Cao Cao's natural disadvantage of "losing harmony", and it is also the emperor's resistance to Cao Cao. If the authority is on the ground, if you think about going south again, you will be a traitor, and everyone in the world will hate it.

"Liu Bei cannot be reused under Liu Biao." Zhuge Jin raised his sleeves to brush away the dust on his clothes, and said calmly, "However, Jin sees that he is a man of great virtue and wins people's hearts. I'm afraid he will be a minister soon."

Liu Bei used to use public opinion to build momentum, but now he can't be reused by Liu Biao, and Cao Cao, who is afraid of intrusion from time to time, has now completely turned his back on Cao Ying.

When he tripped Cao Cao, he sold Jiangdong a favor by the way.

A steady profit trade.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Jin must have reached such a consensus.

Li Yinzhou twirled the medicinal materials he sent, put them under the gleaming guillotine and chopped them into several sections, but Zhou Yu's proposition from yesterday was ringing in his ears——

Divide the world.

The world is in chaos like a chessboard, anyone who wants to monopolize the world will become the target of public criticism, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who once dominated the situation, were too domineering and were attacked by the crowd. Now wanting to monopolize the vast middle land is tantamount to setting yourself up as a live target for hatred.

Lu Su, who coincided with him, was even more radical. At the meeting, he resolutely proposed the strategic measure of "eliminating Huang Zu, attacking Liu Biao, and reaching the extreme of the Yangtze River".

Sun Quan took the case and agreed.

Immediately ordered Gu Shao to write an article to reject the court.

Gu Shao's literary talent is brilliant, the article is written in one go, and the words are passionate, Zhuge Jin must have already guessed something from it.

In Li Yinzhou's careless silence, his smile darkened for a moment: "Liu Yuzhou gave his all to help, but Mr. deliberately set up a situation to make Jin late and unable to express his feelings. It must be because the lord's strategy has no such thing as an alliance with him." one?"

Only then did Li Yinzhou put down the work in his hands, slowly wiped the edge with rough and inferior paper, and asked him calmly: "Why do you want to form an alliance with him, my lord? Why do you want to help him?"

Zhuge Jin frowned slightly: "Without trustworthiness, it will be very difficult to cooperate in the future. Liu Xuande is not someone in the pool, but Liu Biao is very mediocre. Sooner or later, Jingzhou will change hands. If we share the south bank of the Yangtze River, the only way is to join hands. Differentiation will only make Beiyuan gain power. By doing this, sir, you are consuming mutual trust."

Only Zhuge Jin, who went to Jingzhou in person, paid so much attention to Liu Bei, could see the huge potential of the future in his declining days, and inadvertently revealed the idea of ​​dividing the world into three parts, which shows that his resourcefulness may not be inferior to that of his younger brother Zhuge Liang.

Li Yinzhou nodded: "You are quite right."

Zhuge Jin's smile became lighter and darker: "In this case, why did you set up a trap against a certain person?"

Li Yinzhou looked back and caught a glimpse of his serious expression, knowing that Mr. Zhuge, who is well-versed in human feelings, was still calm, but he might have scolded an article in his heart.

He lowered his hand to fiddle with the medicinal materials that came all the way from the middle of Sichuan, the rustling dust fell between his fingers, and his eyes dimmed——

"Why does Ziyu think that we must cooperate with Liu Bei in the future?"

Zhuge Jinfang wanted to open his mouth to discuss, but was interrupted lightly: "Because Cao Cao monopolizes Beiyuan, Liu Biao is getting old, Huang Zu is not helpful, the situation is about to change, and Ziyu doesn't think the lord has the ability to pacify Jiangxia and attack Jingzhou , Occupy the Yangtze River, but think that Liu Bei can seize power from Liu Biao and usurp Jingzhou, so he put himself at a disadvantage from the beginning."

Zhuge Jin was silent.

Although Sun Quan is ambitious and sophisticated, but Jiangxia has held on for several years, Jingzhou is even more powerful, Liu Bei is leading and secretly saving, Cao Cao is ready to go in the north, Huang Zu is watching in the west, Jiangdong is facing the stormy waves all around, and the preservation has been exhausted. Planning, dare to try to occupy the Yangtze River alone and divide it across the river?

This is another reason why the opponent deliberately set up a wrong time difference.

He is not from the old department, and he speaks lightly. Once he tries to propose a three-point strategy based on reason, he will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the radical main combat faction, and it will be very difficult to gain a foothold in the future.

After all, he is not an old official like Zhang Zhao, nor does he have the deep family background of Gu Yong. Perhaps it is not a wise move to pour cold water on him when he first joins the Sun family.

After pondering things over, Zhuge Jin no longer entangled, but Zhuge Jin still insisted: "Cooperation can win victory and reduce bloodshed. War is for peace, not for slaughter. There is no need for war, and it should be avoided in the first place. Sir, you can suppress it." my voice, but cannot cut off the mouthpiece from which I speak."

"Yes." Li Yinzhou knew that peacemakers like Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong were not weak. They were even more stubborn and tough than many generals. The surging passion of the soil, but the long-term persistence of defending the country.

The sound of water outside the city is far away.

Great rivers and rivers, born in long streams and fine waters, condense into waves and waves, rush eastward, and finally merge into the vastness of the sea.

He collected several cut medicinal materials one by one into a fine-pored sieve cloth, tied a knot vigorously, and threw it into the boiling water. After a moment of ups and downs, a burst of bitterness mixed with several kinds of deep smells floated out of the medicine jar. fragrant.

He said: "You can stick to your ideas, the lord will not kill your voice."

Zhuge Jin seemed to see something, and his expression suddenly froze: "Sir, if you plan so hard, aren't you afraid of being a villain in vain? If you act secretively, you will be reprimanded, is it worth it?"

does it worth?

Li Yinzhou also asked himself, he has been here for more than ten years, and he has enjoyed the protection and tolerance of others. Now, although his meager efforts cannot turn things around, he can finally have a clear conscience.

He raised his eyes and looked at the distant mountains and rivers in the west. The blue sky like a blue sea spread out broadly, the forests were dyed, the autumn frost was scorching, and the great rivers and rivers swept up the waves.

The wind comes from the west.

His eyelashes swayed gently in the swirling wind, but he thought in his heart——

Autumn is here.

--------------

In the end, he didn't answer Zhuge Jin's question.

Everyone has their own yardstick in their hearts, whether it is worth it or not, you know whether you are warm or not, and you don't need to measure yourself with the hearts of others.

Zhuge Jin will surely find out his own answer.

Walk slowly all the way out of Sun's mansion.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a young man standing upright under a pair of solemn and solemn stone lions. He was dressed in white so that he was tall and tall, like a pine in the wind, with the posture of Lingxue and Aoshuang.

However, after looking at it for a long time, I can also see a bit of frailty and desolation.

He stared straight at the mansion in front of him, seeing the smog and flames staining the eaves, and even the blue tiles and red walls became a bit more colorful, making it look more resplendent and dazzling.

The bluestone slab under his feet was so hard that it was cold, and the rustling wind blew past the side of his neck, like a steel knife, cutting painfully.

He stood there for a long time.

Li Yinzhou walked slowly to his side, patted his shoulder: "Xiao Ze, since you are here, why don't you go in."

Gu Shao took a deep breath as if waking up from a dream, and subconsciously took two steps back, with a helpless smile on his face: "Scare me, who am I?"

The two walked side by side.

Although they didn't reveal their destination, they walked in the same direction tacitly, all the way through the town under the afterglow of the setting sun, and walked slowly under the raging sunset.

Gu Shaoxian smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhuge came back from Sichuan, but he said before that it can cure the heart disease of the lord. It seems that this medicine is quite effective."

Li Yinzhou nodded noncommittally.

He is not a fool after all, with his father's suggestion and Lu Xun's persuasion, he can figure out the way: "He met you before, so it can be seen that this time it was your idea again, and it was decided to let him come back one day later. , I just don’t want him to destroy Zhou Lang’s plan to divide the government across the river. But I see you stay in the Sun Mansion every day, when did you go to Gong Jin to discuss this matter?”

If it weren't for the lingering disappointment in Gu Shao's expression, Li Yinzhou really wanted to praise him for his benefits.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood, he stopped teasing him as usual, and simply said bluntly: "I have never looked for Zhou Lang."

Gu Shao's pace faltered.

Suddenly he solved his doubts: "Zhuge Jin didn't bring back any news, only Zhou Lang can suppress the public opinion, and you even counted him in."

Li Yinzhou touched the tip of his nose, he really didn't dare to take credit.Zhou Yu didn't have a temperament of being coerced, but Jiang Dong was coerced by others, and he was determined not to tolerate this sand in his eyes.

The two coincided with each other, and they only had one look in their faces, and they didn't tell each other.

Gu Shao took a step forward: "Liu Bei's efforts were in vain, but the situation forced him to choose this path, and he will use this as an argument in the future."

This really makes a lot of sense.

He said sadly: "Cao Cao's Northern Expedition has not stopped, and we have done everything well. In the short term, he dare not do it again. It's just that this enmity is written down, and there will be a war sooner or later."

The autumn wind rolled up the remaining leaves on the long street, blowing away the dust all over the place.Li Yinzhou walked slowly over the bluestone slab and stopped for a while in front of the city wall.

"Yes, these few years are the time to rest and recuperate." The tired muscles on his face relaxed, showing a faint smile, and asked Gu Shao, "Young Master Gu is worried about the country and the people, and now it's calmed down, what are you going to do?" Time to start a family?"

When Gu Shao heard this, he was distracted and knocked his head on the city wall in a daze.

He forced himself to support the wall, cleared his throat in embarrassment, his eyes fell on Li Yinzhou's well-groomed face, and suddenly felt something was wrong - he was also the young master of the Gu family after all, how could he be manipulated by this person every time.

So he straightened his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and squinted at him: "You are one year older than me, why don't you mention getting married and starting a business?"

Li Yinzhou choked back lightly: "The only woman I know well is Axiang, is Young Master Gu willing?"

Gu Shao: "..."

While talking, the two had already left the city.

The twilight is dark, and the willows on the bank are hanging upside down and kissing the river water, making a shallow opening in the rapid turbulence.

Several large ships were locked at the pier, and there was an endless stream of servants moving their luggage up and down.

Li Yinzhou's heart tightened slightly.

Not far away, a man dressed in bright clothes walked slowly towards them against the rays of the sun.
