"Zhuge's military advisor is overrated." Gui Zheng bowed to Zhuge Liang again, and then said: "The ancients said: 'If people don't have etiquette and righteousness, they will be in chaos; if they don't know etiquette and righteousness, they will be disobedient.' The Sun family and his son were of humble origin, and they didn't know etiquette and righteousness, and they were disobedient.
, In the past, Sun Jian forced Tongyao, the governor of Jingzhou, to death, Sun Ce attacked and destroyed Liu Zhengli, the shepherd of Yangzhou, and Sun Quan killed Lord Shengxian. It was the same for father and son."
In the Han Dynasty, when states and counties were regarded as states, and the heads of states and counties were regarded as monarchs, the Sun family, father and son, both persecuted the governors, herders, and county guards, which was very rare.
Gui Zheng continued: "Sun Jian still had the righteous deeds to defeat Dong Zhuo and recover Luodu, but his achievements were insufficient, but the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan did not make any contribution to the country.
Sun Ce Gan was Yuan Shu's minion, aiding Zhou and invading Jiangbiao. Therefore, Lujiang Prefect Lu (Kang) Jining, the elder of the Guan clan in Wu County, was well-known at home, but Sun Ce rebelled and attacked the other side, destroying the city and harming it. Therefore, Hepu Prefect Wang Cheng and Sun Jian
There was a difference between being promoted to court and seeing his wife, but Sun Ce did not miss his old love and punished his family. As the saying goes, "If you do too much injustice, you will die." Sun Ce finally died at the hands of a righteous man because of his rebellion and unrighteousness, killing too many people.
Unexpectedly, after Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, he did not learn from his brother's lesson, but intensified his efforts. Not only did he kill Shengfu Lord, Wu, and famous men and heroes, but also many famous people and heroes were massacred. He also raised armies year after year, with more defeats and fewer wins.
Xing, the people of Jiangdong have been suffering from the Sun family for a long time!
Therefore, we risk our lives to go to Yuzhang in the west, with our hearts and minds covered, and we sincerely hope that General Annan will raise a new army of rebels to punish Sun Quan and clear the east of the Yangtze River! In this way, we will have no regrets even if we die ten thousand times!"
Gui Zheng's speech moved the people sitting there, and Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, Xiang Yu destroyed the Qin Dynasty and destroyed the Han Dynasty, and almost conquered the world. However, he was defeated in Gaixia and committed suicide in the Wujiang River to laugh at future generations. All because he did not show kindness and righteousness, and tortured people on the mausoleum.
The reason is that the Sun family is so unkind, how can the foundation last long?"
Then Zhuge Liang changed the topic and said: "However, although Sun's crimes are obvious and the soldiers and the people are resentful, after all, he has been through three generations, his foundation is solid, his wings are full, and it is difficult to eliminate him. You and others are all Jiangdong's heroes, courageous and intelligent.
I wonder if you have a plan in mind?"
Gui nodded and replied: "Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang, is just like his father and brother. He is brave and impetuous, light and unprepared, so it will not be difficult to get rid of him. Once Sun Yi dies, my brother will become the general governor, and he will be able to take charge of all the people in Danyang."
In the Ministry, place close followers, purge those who are disobedient, and raise counties to serve as righteous teachers."
"Good!" Sheng Kuang couldn't help but clapped his arms and stood up. He looked at Zhuge Liang eagerly, and his excitement was beyond words: "Military advisor, if this plan is successful, Sun Quan will be unable to do anything. He will only be trapped in Wu and wait for death!"
No wonder Sheng Kuang is so excited. If Gui Lan, Dai Yuan and others can really kill Sun Yi, they don't need to kill the entire Danyang County (in fact, they don't have this ability. After all, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's tens of thousands of troops are in Danyang Spring Valley)
, they only needed to raise the county city Wanling to rebel, which would be enough to deal a fatal blow to Sun Quan.
This is no exaggeration. Wanling's geographical location is extremely important, comparable to Jiangling in Jingzhou. To the west, it can threaten Zhou Yu's camp in Spring Valley from behind; to the east, it can approach Wujun's city; to the south, it can attack Kuaiji.
No matter which direction he attacks, Sun Quan must save the land.
If Wanling is successfully occupied, it will be equivalent to directly holding Sun Quan's "seven inches". Even if Sun Quan is unwilling to surrender and fights with the trapped beast, he will be unable to recover. Defeat is only a matter of time.
Zhuge Liang was also happy in his heart, but although he was young, he was calm and determined, and his joy and anger were invisible. It was difficult for outsiders to see his true inner thoughts. Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded to Sheng Kuang, and turned to Gui Zheng:
"With your help, why worry about not succeeding?"
Later, Zhuge Liang asked about Danyang in detail. Gui Zheng followed Gui Lan, and Dai and Yuan were seeking revenge, so they accepted Sun Yi's offer to go out to the mountain to speak. Then several people conspired to welcome Liu Jing westward, but unexpectedly got into trouble and were blocked by the security guards.
Defeat Ma and secure Ertun until the army has dispersed.
During this period, Zhuge Liang asked questions from time to time, and Gui Zheng answered them one by one. The conversation lasted for more than an hour. Zhuge Liang already had an idea in his heart, and he said to Gui Zheng: "The general ordered me to be the governor of Yangzhou and gave me the power to do things expediently. However, this matter is related to
It is so important that it exceeds my authority and responsibility, so I need to send someone to report it to General Ming and ask him to make a decision."
Gui Zheng also knew this, so there was no disappointment on her face. She kindly reminded Zhuge Liang: "My husband's secrets are used to complete things, and words are used to vent failures. Our plans are very big, and every day we delay, we will leak one more point."
The risk of our own death is small, so if Sun Quan is on guard, he will fall short of success, and he will regret it."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "What you said is true. I will send someone to report it to the general immediately. At the same time, I will strengthen the troops and firewood, collect grain and grain, repair boats and chariots, and increase the number of combat equipment, waiting for the general's order."
Guizheng felt a little relieved after hearing this and complimented: "Zhuge's military advisor is calm when faced with big events, arranges military affairs in an orderly manner, and has a well-thought-out plan. He is a truly good general. No wonder he can make great achievements in Jiangxi and Jiangxi, kill Ben and behead Dang (Sun Ben and Han Dang), and is invincible.
The expressions of Sun Quan, monarch and ministers changed when they talked about it."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing. During the several months of supervising Yangzhou, he heard such compliments from time to time and became accustomed to it. Then Zhuge Liang asked Sheng Kuang to entertain Gui and rest in the pavilion.
After Sheng Kuang and Gui Zheng retired, Zhuge Liang asked Xu Shu, and Yang Yi said: "Yuan Zhi, Wei Gong, what do you think about this matter?"
Yang Yi was different from Sheng Kuang. He was always wary of the Wu people and wondered: "Military advisor, could this be a trick of the enemy to lure our troops to go deeper and deliberately fake a surrender?"
Zhuge Liang did not comment and looked at Xu Shu again.
Xu Shu pondered for a while and said: "I think Gui Lan and Dai Yuan are sincerely loyal to me. They were chosen by Sheng Xian to be filial and honest, and their identities were sensitive. Although they were valued by Sun Yi, they were tabooed by Sun Quan. They served in Wu.
Unless Sun Yi takes charge of Jiangdong one day, there is little possibility of official advancement. If he switches to our army, he will not only be able to avenge his lord, but also have the opportunity to occupy a large county. Previously, Gui Zheng said: "Raise the county to respond." She regarded Danyang as a forbidden concubine.
It seems that we don’t want our troops to get involved.”
"How can we leave it up to them?" Yang Yi pursed her thin lips and couldn't help snorting, "Do they still want to separate Danyang? It's simply a dream!"
Zhuge Liang believed that although Yang Yi's words were a bit unpleasant, they made sense. Wanling's geographical location was too important and must not be left to others. It must be firmly in his own hands.
Zhuge Liang said: "My opinion is the same as that of Yuan Zhi. Gui Lan and Dai Yu must have sincerely surrendered. As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be missed and the time will never come again. There must be no hesitation at this time. I will write a letter to the general to persuade him to send troops.
"At the end of the sentence, Zhuge Liang was already in agitated mood and could hardly control himself. He immediately left Xu Shu and Yang Yi and returned to the back room to write quickly. What he was thinking in his heart was written eloquently and in one go.
At the end of the letter, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Jing: "With Wanling, there will be no changes in the southeast, and the general's hegemony will be achieved! There is also hope for the country!"
