Yes, Zhou Yu's current situation should be everyone's top priority.
"My lord…what's Zhou Yu's condition now? Shi Yuan, do you have any news?"
Zhuge Liang basically understood the reason why Pang Tong was not reused in Jiangdong, so although he was indeed somewhat worried about Zhou Yu's situation,... out of consideration of his position, he changed his tune.
In that battle at Chibi, although he and Zhou Yu were both defeated head-on by Yi Xiaotian, the congeniality between them made each other miss each other all the time.
How many times did Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang reveal the same idea in conversations with their subordinates, that is:
"If we had not served the two masters, what kind of beautiful friendship would we have now?"
Pang Tong didn't feel too much of Zhuge Liang's psychological activities. When he heard Zhuge Liang's question, he knew that everyone wanted to know, so he said bluntly:
"I heard that Zhou Yu was arrested and imprisoned at that time, but his conditions in prison were quite luxurious. After all, he was the governor of Soochow. Some people despised him, but naturally some people admired him. Besides, he also had Sun Quanlu by his side.
Su and other colleagues, Sun Quan may have lost power for the time being, but I also believe that before long, Sun Quan will definitely rescue Zhou Yu from prison at all costs."
"After that, their choice is the key to our consideration - you probably don't want to help Jiangdong stabilize the situation, but because of the existence of Zhou Yulusu, they will be guarded and guarded, and there is no way to start, right?"
Most people agreed with Pang Tong's words. Many people who experienced the Battle of Chibi with Liu Bei knew what a courageous person Zhou Yu was. He was clearly just a governor, but he had many titles compared to that time.
, Liu Bei, who is called Yuzhou Mu, Zuo General, etc., is even more impressive.
Not to mention that the Battle of Chibi was originally fought under his leadership.
Many people now can't imagine how they came back with a great victory when facing Cao Cao's attack of hundreds of thousands of naval troops, and ended up in this situation today.
Everything must mention the man Zhou Yu.
As long as he is still here, Sun Quan can never be underestimated.
On the one hand, everyone agreed with Pang Tong's statement, but on the other hand, they sighed at the unfavorable situation. After all, as long as anyone with a clear mind now - or in other words, everyone present except Liu Bei and Zhang Fei - basically understood Pang Tong.
The metaphor of these words.
"Sure enough... sure enough, if Zhou Yu is released from prison, they will still choose to be enemies with the new faction formed by Lu Xun and others, right?"
"Although Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were temporarily sidelined, the foundation of Soochow's rule is still the gentry. Even if they were once enemies of Zhang Zhao and others, at this time, as long as they are still clear-headed, they will definitely choose to side with the old school.
?”
Liu Feng finally got the chance to interject. Since Liu Qi's death, Liu Bei's attitude towards Liu Feng has actually become much calmer. After all, Adou is already a toddler. In the future, regardless of whether Liu Feng can live up to his expectations, he is destined to become Adou.
Liu Feng became quite dissatisfied with his situation in the past two years.
It's just that...his personal ability is there. If he usually only relies on talking to increase his presence, with a discerning person like Zhuge Liang standing above his head, there is no chance for him to climb up.
It's pitiful that Liu Feng has been struggling in such a situation. It's not... He was so impatient that he came out and said the facts that everyone understood. After he said it, few people paid attention to him.
Pang Tong is still an outsider, so naturally he won't comment much on Liu Bei's family affairs for the time being. He just continued calmly:
"I can't say for sure now. You may not know. From what I know - Lu Xun's talent is definitely no less than that of Zhou Yu. It's just that his character is not as sharp as Zhou Yu's. But once he is given
The environment in which this kid can perform stably and the abilities he can display are also quite terrifying."
"As for Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others, they have more than enough to defend, but not enough to make progress. In fact, if Jiangdong really falls into their hands, it will be beneficial to us, but if Zhou Yu and Lu Xun really let it happen, even the worst situation will come.
In other words, if Yi Xiaotian quickly entered the scene and was on Lu Xun's side, then it would be difficult for us to have any disadvantage against Jiangdong in the future - the next time we fight for Jiangdong, we may have to wait for more than ten years, or even
Decades later, it’s time for a fight to the death.”
Of course, Pang Tong did not mean to scare everyone. He had praised many frustrated talents in Jiangdong, but only for Lu Xun, he seriously felt that Lu Xun definitely had immeasurable potential.
If not for anything else, it was because at such an age, Lu Xun was able to reunite the shattered Lu family, and relying on his own ability, he gradually came to the front of the stage under the suppression of Zhou Yu and others, and now he is standing still.
When he reached the top gaming stage in Jiangdong, although... although his situation was not optimistic at present, just the shadow of Yi Xiaotian made Pang Tong feel tremendous pressure.
As a result, it was because of Zhou Yu that their choice became difficult.
On the old side, Zhou Yu is very likely to choose to join the old side after being released from prison, and quickly take various actions to deal with Lu Xun and others first, and stabilize the situation in Jiangdong before making more considerations.
Originally, in Pang Tong's consideration, the best plan for Liu Bei and others was to join the old school. After all, considering Yi Xiaotian's situation, even if they were enemies of Zhang Zhao in the future, it would be far better than having Yi Xiaotian behind his back.
It feels comfortable to stab with a knife.
And... it's not that Pang Tong doesn't think highly of Lu Xun, it's that the objective conditions on Lu Xun's side are too broken - although the Lu family is the fourth surname in Wu County, their strength is not much different from that of ordinary noble families. Once, the Lu family's wealth was
After crossing the river, the Lu family was completely divided by other families, leaving only an empty shell. No matter how amazing Lu Xun was, what kind of waves could he make?
The most important thing is that in this era, if you don't have soldiers in your hands, you have no right to speak. Zhu Huan may have other opinions about Zhang Zhao, but due to family reasons, he must stand on Zhang Zhao's side.
.
In this way - if you choose to join Lu Xun's side, you will have no soldiers, no money, and not even enough talent... It is said that Lu Xun has great talents, but only fools would choose to join Lu Xun's side.
But the problem is that Zhou Yu is not stupid either...
With Zhou Yu's name, if Zhou Yu chooses to defect to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao and others will only welcome him.
Under this situation, no matter what kind of confidence Liu Bei has, their intention to help Jiangdong stabilize the situation will definitely be guarded by Zhou Yu.
It is not impossible that we will end up with both people and money in the end.
