It was not until early October that Sun Quan received the news that Liu Jing had captured Jingzhou, which was almost ten days later than Cao Cao.

Subtlety, this news was not sent by Liu Jing, an "ally" to inform him, but by his companion, Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang, who was inquiring from the Changsha merchants who entered the country.

Sun Quan was copying Liu Jing's calligraphy in the study and entertaining himself. When he heard this news, he was shocked to the point where his pen fell to the ground.

Then Sun Quan became jealous and the development level of Jingnan was far less than that of Jiangdong, and Jiaozhou was even more barren. However, between Jingbei, Jianghan, there were thousands of miles of fertile land, and the scholars and people were wealthy. They were actually the capital of kings and tyrants and the land of martial arts.

His father and son of the Sun family had a covetous attitude towards Jiang and Han for three generations. They were now occupied by Liu Jing. How could Sun Quan not be jealous?

In addition to jealousy, Sun Quan was also filled with fear. Now Liu Jingnan was in the territory, and Jianghan was settled in the north, with thousands of miles of land and more than 100,000 armored soldiers, and his strength was several times higher than before.

Liu Jingsu had a different ambition and was ambitious. He would never be satisfied with the Jing and Jiaotong Prefectures. Where would he point his troops next?

Should we lead the Northern Expedition to compete with Cao Cao for hegemony of the Central Plains? Or should we go west to Bashu and establish the foundation of Emperor Gaozu? Or maybe we go down the river and seize Jiangdong?

To be honest, Liu Jingruo personally mentioned that a hundred thousand people invaded Jiangdong, and Sun Quan had no confidence in saving his foundation. This is why he was afraid in his heart.

Sun Quan was restless for a moment and urgently ordered someone to summon Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Xu Kun and others to come to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Su is an official in Sun Quan's mansion, and he is the closest to him, so he is the first to arrive.

Looking at Lu Su who was walking out of the door, Sun Quan felt very uncomfortable and complained secretly: "I shouldn't have believed Lu Zijing's advice at the beginning and formed an alliance with Liu Jing to plot against Liu Biao..."

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jiangdong Army died in Jiangxia. In the end, except for fighting with Huang Zu, both sides were injured, they did not get any benefits and made a wedding dress for Liu Jing in vain.

The alliance with Liu Jing and harming oneself and others is undoubtedly a fool now, and Lu Su, who made this suggestion, naturally took the lead in taking responsibility.

"Oh! I've never heard of Mr. Zhang's advice..." At this time, Sun Quan remembered Zhang Zhao's goodness again.

At that time, Zhang Zhao strongly opposed Lu Su's plan to "joint Liu Jing and attack Liu Biao together". He believed that Liu Biao occupied the river and the mountains and rivers of Han were dangerous, although they were not enterprising enough, but they had enough self-defense. They were rashly launching troops, and there were unexpected risks. Moreover, the situation in Jiangdong was far from stable, with heroes, mountains and crossings, and Yellow Turbans spread all over the prefectures and counties. The army was traveling westward, and the internal emptiness was empty, so someone would take the opportunity to launch troops and cause chaos.

As Zhang Zhao said, the army attacked Liu Biao in the west, and it was indeed a big defeat, with heavy casualties. Rebellions also occurred one after another in Yuzhang, Luling, Danyang, and Kuaiji counties. If it weren't for Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Taishici, He Qi and others who used their lives to quell the turmoil in time, it would be a question whether Sun Quan could still hold a firm seat.

"General..." Lu Su was careful to greet him. Although he didn't know what happened, Sun Quan urgently called him to come, and looked unhappy. It must be a good thing.

Sun Quan was very cunning and did not show any dissatisfaction with Lu Su. He sighed and said, "Zijing, Gu just received a report from Yuzhang. Liu Jing had seized Xiangyang. If nothing unexpected happens, the land of Jingchu will be all his own!"

"This..." Lu Su was shocked. Didn't Liu Jing conquered Jiangling for a short time? Why did he go north to seize Xiangyang in a blink of an eye? This is Sun Quan. If it were someone else, Lu Su must have thought the other party was joking with him.

"Liu Jing's good fortune is really as helpful as God!" Sun Quan could not hide his envy, jealousy and hatred. "When he went north to Xiangyang, Huang Zu lost both his troops and ships and was unable to support him. Just as Liu Biao died of illness, his son Liu Cong was young and had no power to appease people's hearts, nor had the ability to resist external aggression. He was trapped in internal and external affairs and surrendered to the state." After saying that, both the king and the minister fell silent for a while.

Lu Su's will was a little depressed, and Liu Jing's capture of Jingbei meant that the plan he advocated to divide Jingbei with Liu Jing had completely failed.

Although he made a wedding dress for Liu Jing, Lu Su insisted that it was right to form an alliance with Liu Jing. Why was Liu Jing able to easily capture Jiangling and Xiangyang, but they were bleeding from Jiangxia?

After all, I can only blame myself. If the Jiangdong Army is as good as Liu Jing's army, I can kill Huang Zu and occupy Jiangxia, and then sit and watch Liu Jing, Liu Biao fights with snipe and clams, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Instead of watching Liu Jing occupy Jingbei as he is now, he sighs and sighs.

But I think Zhang Zhao would definitely not miss this opportunity, and he would definitely attack him.

Fortunately, Lu Su has become accustomed to it. Since Jiangxia returned, Zhang Zhao would sneer at him almost every time he bumped into him. Lu Su would avoid him if he could, and let him go if he couldn't. Anyway, as long as Sun Quan's trust did not change, Zhang Zhao would not dare to touch him, and at most he would curse him.

Lu Su didn't care much about personal honor and disgrace. What he really cared about was the future of Jiangdong.

In the past, Jingzhou was divided between the north and the south, and Jiangdong still had the opportunity to intervene. Now that Liu Jing unified Jingzhou, Jiangdong had no chance to take advantage of it. Instead, he had to be wary of Liu Jing's covetousness towards Jiangdong. Therefore, he should immediately adjust his strategy and turn off attack to defense, and keep Jiangdong as his key.

Lu Su told Sun Quan about his ideas. As a strategist and diplomat in the Three Kingdoms, he was quick-witted, eloquent, and had strong persuasive power. Sun Quan nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his heart was not dissipated quickly.

Soon, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Xu Kun and others arrived one after another.

Among the few people, Sun Quan went out to greet Zhang Zhaolizhong and personally went out to greet him. When talking about Liu Jing's capture of Jingbei, he sighed repeatedly: "I regret not listening to Mr. Zhang's advice, and I regret not listening to Mr. Zhang's advice!"

Zhang Zhao was shocked when he heard this news. He followed Sun Quan into the room, glanced at Lu Su who was standing with a restrained look, and said to Sun Quan: "The wise and skilled people must be far-sighted and conscious, but not ignorant, and cannot be private." Although Lu Zijing is talented, he is rough and humble, and is not enough. This is a taboo for wise men. If he wants to use wisdom to roam among the princes, in the end he will only harm the country and harm himself. This is also the reason why I often advise the general to not be very useful."

Lu Su couldn't help but feel angry, but it was difficult to refute, and he was very ashamed.

Although Sun Quan was dissatisfied with Lu Su, he still trusted his talents very much. He regarded him as his own Deng Yu and advised Zhang Zhao: "Zi Jing is a rough person but not despicable, arrogant but not arrogant, with a broad mind and extraordinary wisdom. Only when he has something to do today is the time to use people. Even though he has flaws in nature, he should tolerate it."

Seeing that Zhang Zhao was unmoved, he seemed to have to say something else. Zhou Yu hurriedly spoke out to help Lu Su. "We know very little about Jingzhou now. According to my opinion, we should quickly send envoys to Xiangyang to find out the truth and truth. If Jingzhou has been decided, we will continue the alliance to eliminate Liu Zhongda's intention to advance eastward. If Jingzhou has not been decided, it will not be too late to visit Jiangxia again."

Lu Su asked himself: "General, Su is willing to be an envoy and rush to Xiangyang to find out the truth."

Seeing that Lu Su was willing to "make meritorious service with guilt", Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay. Zijing, you will go to Xiangyang and do nothing else. There is only one thing. You must continue to have a good alliance with Liu Jinggu and lead him to use troops to the west and north." Sun Quan felt extremely regretful of forming an alliance with Liu Jing, but now he is afraid that Liu Jing will covet Jiangdong, so he will try every means to continue his alliance with him.

"No." Lu Su replied loudly, packed his luggage that day and set off for the north.
