If Cao Cao and Liu Zhe in the north start a fight, they will take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits. Even if they fail, they can retreat to the south, stick to one side, and share the world equally with the people in the north.
Sun Quan led his troops to attack Huang Zu. Although on the surface it was for the purpose of avenging his father, he actually had two deeper purposes. One was to conquer Jiangxia and then Xu Tu Jingzhou to realize Lu Su's general plan. You can also expand your territory and increase your prestige to block those disobedient old guys in Jiangdong.
However, Sun Quan attacked Huang Zu several times without success, which made Lu Su understand that Sun Quan's idea of ????taking Jiangxia and Jingzhou in a short time was difficult to realize.
Because Sun Quan was not qualified enough, some of his soldiers were unwilling to fight to the death. This time, even though several ferries near Jiangxia were captured, the city of Jiangxia was still unable to be shaken.
Then Liu Bei came.
Huang Zu was able to keep Sun Quan from attacking for so long. Add in Liu Bei and Liu Bei's elite soldiers, and Sun Quan would have no chance.
It just so happened that Cao Cao also came.
If Cao Cao captures Jingzhou, Sun Quan will have no chance.
So Lu Su came up with the idea of ??forming an alliance with Liu Bei to deal with Cao Cao.
Coincidentally, Zhuge Liang came to Sun Quan to propose an alliance on behalf of Liu Bei.
This idea coincided with Lu Su¡¯s idea, so Lu Su also tried his best to persuade Sun Quan to agree to form an alliance. The two sides finally formed an alliance with Sun Quan marrying his sister and Liu Bei giving Sun Quan the land of three counties.
It is a pity that even though Cao Cao agreed to withdraw from the areas north of Nanjun afterwards, he deliberately handed over the rest of Jingzhou to Liu Bei. The purpose is self-evident.
If it was just like this, he wouldn't have to worry, but in the end Cao Cao handed over Xiangyang to Liu Bei.
This has aroused suspicion between the two, and Sun Quan even thought of sending troops to confront Liu Bei.
Lu Su knew that if they were not handled well, Liu Bei and Sun Quan might completely break up and become enemies, and eventually even fight, allowing Cao Cao to take advantage.
Now, Sun Quan's sister has been kidnapped, and the marriage between the two families is in trouble.
Lu Su felt that if he were Liu Bei, he would definitely find a way to deal with Sun Quan and not give the land of the three counties to Sun Quan.
Even if there was a fight in the future, Sun Quan would be in the wrong.
Therefore, we must find a way now so that even if we send out troops to retake these three counties in the future, we can still make a name for ourselves.
Therefore, the smart Lu Su quickly thought of a way.
"Lord."
Lu Su said to Sun Quan: "My subordinates have thought of a way."
"Speak quickly." Sun Quan said urgently.
"My lord can lend the land of Jingzhou that belongs to my lord to Liu Bei." Lu Su said.
"borrow?"
Sun Quan didn¡¯t quite understand what Lu Su meant, but there was anger in his tone.
Even if he doesn¡¯t understand, he can roughly guess the meaning. It seems that he is going back empty-handed this time.
"Lord."
Lu Su explained Sun Quan in detail and said: "After the young lady was kidnapped, I can be sure that Liu Bei will not easily hand over the place that belongs to the lord. Now the lord might as well take advantage of Liu Bei not knowing the news that the young lady has been kidnapped. Lend the places that belong to the lord to Liu Bei, and at the same time let the whole world know that the lord has lent these places to Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei doesn't return them in the future, the lord will be famous if he sends troops to recapture them."
"impossible."
Sun Quan was angry, and his anger was full again. He said angrily: "Liu Bei won't give it, so I will send troops to get it."
Lu Su is speechless. You have been beaten back and forth several times in Jiangxia. How can you beat other places? If it can be captured, why do I need you to form an alliance with Liu Bei, and why do I need to use such methods to help you seize territory?
Fight again?
What if it¡¯s still like this?
What if it fails? Aren't you afraid that the people below will look down upon you even more?
Of course, saying it directly would be hurtful.
Therefore, Lu Su could only persuade Sun Quan tactfully: "My lord, the distance to other places is long and the march is not easy. Besides, the army has been out for several months and the soldiers are exhausted"
"so what?"
Sun Quan frowned and said, "I personally lead the troops, why should I worry about these things?"
It¡¯s only when you lead the troops that you worry. Lu Su couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Lord."
Lu Su continued: "Those places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they cannot be attacked easily."??, in case of failure, the loss of troops and generals is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is what will those veterans think of the lord at that time? "
"damn it."
It¡¯s okay not to mention this, but once it was mentioned, Sun Quan gritted his teeth with hatred.
"My lord, it is better to let Liu Bei capture those places, let him lose his troops and generals, and then ask him for help later." Lu Su said in time, he had already said this before.
Considering that if he led his troops and returned without success, the people below would only look down on him even more, Sun Quan was shaken.
"What's more, lending these places to Liu Bei can also help the lord gain a good reputation. At the same time, returning to Jiangdong can also give a good explanation to others."
"What if Liu Bei doesn't pay him back in the future?" Sun Quan couldn't help but ask.
Lu Su felt relieved. Since Sun Quan asked this, it meant that he was moved. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
