Chapter 57 Jiangdong Cooking Deer Group Departs (please read and vote)
Sun Quan's tone was full of distress and worry.
He knew that his martial arts skills were not good, and now almost all of Jiangdong's martial arts were achieved by Lu Meng alone.
Moreover, Lu Meng is the only Huaisi general among the generals in Jiangdong today who can suppress the local generals in Jiangdong.
If Lu Meng has three advantages and two disadvantages, it will be a huge loss to Jiangdong.
Sun Quan went on to say, "Zi Ming's talent is at ease when he is alone."
"What I'm worried about is not whether Ziming can capture the Public Security Bureau. It's just that after Ziming captures Jingzhou, Cao Mengde may fear that I am powerful and betray the alliance and attack me."
"And Liu Bei will also be angry and raise troops to attack me. At that time, I will be attacked from both sides of the river east of the Yangtze River. What should I do?"
Sun Quan knew very well that Liu Bei was now powerful and threatening the Central Plains, so Cao Cao would form an alliance with him.
But once he captures Jingzhou, the balance of power will be reversed, and there is no guarantee that Cao Cao will not send troops to attack him.
As for Liu Bei, let alone that.
Sun Quan had this worry in his mind before, but at that time Jingzhou could be easily captured by him, and the huge benefits made him temporarily abandon this worry.
But now that Jingzhou no longer seems so easy to win, this worry in his heart has resurfaced, disturbing Sun Quan's thoughts.
Seeing that Sun Quan was worried about this, Lu Meng bowed to Sun Quan in front of him and said,
"After Jingzhou was captured, the Supreme Lord ordered the captives to guard Nanjun, Pan Zhang lived in Baidi, and Jiang Qin sent ten thousand soldiers to march up and down the river to respond to the enemy's location.
And before Mongolia became a country, they occupied Xiangyang.
So, why worry about Cao, why rely on Yu?
Qi Yu, the king and his ministers, should be cautious of their deceitful power and repeated mistakes, so they should not be treated with caution.
Mengxi Tunlukou was on the same border as Guan Yu. Zhi Yu was a heroic figure, he had the intention of annexing the east of the Yangtze River, and he was in the upper echelon of the country. His power would not last long.
The reason why I am unable to go eastward today is because the Supreme Saint and Ming Meng are still alive.
Don’t plan for it now when we are strong, but once we are dead and ready to conquer the west again, what will happen?”
The conqueror Lu Meng mentioned was Sun Jiao, Sun Quan's cousin and conqueror general.
"Besides, everyone knows about Supreme and the Northern Alliance. Guan Yu must hate Supreme deeply."
"Now the Supreme Being will not take advantage of the fierce battle between Guan Yu and the north to send his troops to the west. Once Guan Yu returns, he will go down the river and reach Jianye in a day or night!"
Every word Lu Meng said hit Sun Quan hard in the heart.
Yes, he has accepted Cao Cao's imperial edict, and his intention to ally with Cao Cao is already known to everyone.
If Guan Yu might have been skeptical before, but after the news spread, he will undoubtedly be convinced.
With Guan Yu's character of being happy with revenge, once he frees up his hands, he will definitely send troops to the east.
So now he has the arrow on the string and has no choice but to fire it.
Although Sun Quan had poor military strategy and poor grasp of fighter opportunities, he also knew what was about to cause disaster.
Now Liu Bei is no longer the brother-in-law who relied on others and whose life depended on his thoughts.
Now Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong who spans Jingyi and has hundreds of thousands of armor, so he can compete with Wei King Cao Cao.
After thinking about this, Sun Quan couldn't help but shuddered all over.
Sun Quan no longer hesitated. He looked down at Lu Meng and asked,
"Ziming, how many troops and horses do you need to completely guarantee the victory of Jingzhou?"
Regarding this point, Lu Meng had already considered this in his mind. Compared with the previous easy attack on Jingzhou, he would undoubtedly try his best now.
Lu Meng immediately replied, "We can only use all the troops in Jiangdong, and the army can be one hundred thousand."
Hearing that Lü Meng wanted 100,000 troops, Sun Quan frowned subconsciously. This was his entire Jiangdong army, and now he wanted to hand it all over to Lü Meng alone.
After Lu Meng asked for 100,000 troops, Sun Quan did not rush to make a decision. He first looked around at the circle of Jiangdong officials in the hall.
Don't look at Zhang Zhao's group. They don't support the advancement of Jingzhou in the first place.
Finally, Sun Quan fixed his eyes on one person.
That person was none other than Sun Jiao.
Sun Quan already had a plan in mind, and he made a decision on the spot, saying, "I will appoint Lu Meng and the left governor of Jiangdong, and Sun Jiao will be the right governor of Jiangdong, with one hundred thousand in charge."
Unexpectedly, before Sun Quan's order was finished, Lu Meng bowed to Sun Quan again and said,
"If the Supreme Being has the ability to conquer captives, it is better to use it; if the Supreme Being has the ability to conquer captives, it is better to use Mongolia.
In the past, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the governors of the left and right departments, supervising the troops to attack Jiangling.
Although the matter was decided by Yu, Pu relied on his generals for a long time, and both of them were governors. As a result, there was disharmony between them, and the country's affairs were almost ruined. This is the current warning."
Lu Meng's remonstrance blocked Sun Quan's unfinished decision.
After hearing Sun Quan's order, Sun Jiao was already ready to come out to accept the order and thank him.
But he was stuck halfway by Lu Meng's words.
After Lu Meng finished making this suggestion, not only Sun Jiao was a little embarrassed, but Sun Quan even looked a little worried.
Although he still loved Lu Meng, but now that Lu Meng said this in public, it was a bit too far.
No one wants to be reminded of dark history.
For a time, all the officials in Jiangdong focused their attention on the two monarchs Lu Meng and Sun Quan.
The courtiers who were originally from Jiangdong even pretended to be watching a good show.
But what disappointed those people was that Sun Quan had a worried look on his face at first, but soon, he showed a look of awakening.
Finally, Sun Quan said to Lu Meng with some apology in his tone,
"It's okay to take you as the chief governor and Ming Jiao as your successor."
Among the three heroes in the world, Cao Cao advocates the rule of law, Liu Bei advocates the rule of benevolence, and Sun Quan advocates the rule of power.
Compared with the two monarchs Cao Cao and Liu Bei, although Sun Quan did not have so much trust in his subordinates, he was by no means a fool.
Seeing that Sun Quan had changed his mind, Lu Meng thanked Sun Quan and said,
"Meng Bi will be like Zhou Lang back then, and he will win Jingzhou for the Supreme Being!"
Hearing that Lu Meng was so confident, Sun Quan couldn't help but sweep away his worries and burst into laughter.
Then he took off his sword, raised it in front of Lu Meng and said,
"This time, I will lead the whole country's strength in the westward expedition, and there will be no mistakes."
"In Jiangdong, except for Gu, no matter what their status is, what position they currently occupy, or whether they are closely related to Gu, Ziming can command them with Gu's sword."
"If anyone dares to violate Zi Ming's moral principles, Zi Ming can kill him first without any hesitation."
As soon as Sun Quan said these words, all the Jiangdong officials present were in an uproar.
Even when Zhou Yu commanded the Battle of Chibi, he never received such an honor from Sun Quan.
In order to win Jingzhou, Sun Quan had given up all his trust, and he only hoped that Lu Meng would not let him down.
Lu Meng was deeply moved by Sun Quan's trust.
Lu Meng respectfully took Sun Quan's sword with both hands. After kowtowing to Sun Quan three times, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
As soon as Lu Meng left, at Sun Quan's signal, most of Jiangdong's courtiers in the hall immediately stood up and left behind him.
Huang Gai, Han Dang, Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, Zhu Huan, Sun Jiao,.
Among these people, any one you name is a long-famous general in Jiangdong.
Most of them were handed down from the times of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and were the mainstay of guarding the Sun family and Dinghai Reef.
Without them, Sun Quan would not have been able to successfully rule Jiangdong.
But now, it can be said that except for those who are really unable to mobilize, Sun Quan has bet all Jiangdong's chips on Lu Meng this time.
With such a luxurious lineup, Sun Quan didn't believe it. He couldn't win a police station?
After capturing Mi Yang alive, he would cook the deer in public to vent his hatred.
