No one refuted Pang Tong's words. The iron-clad facts were before their eyes, and no one really thought that they could think more profoundly than Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei immediately transferred the 20,000 troops to Pang Tong without saying anything.
The same generals assigned to Pang Tong also included Wei Yan, Liu Feng and others.
However, before Pang Tong left, Zhao Yun seemed to be worried and suggested to everyone:
"My lord...there are two military advisors, please allow me to accompany you on this trip?"
"Although I don't dare to vouch for it, I have spent some time in Jiangdong. The land south of Poyang is often densely covered with mountains and forests. If there is no one to guide me..."
Zhao Yun's worries are not limited to these. Now he has a hunch... a hunch that the enemy they face now is not just Lu Xun.
Besides, even Lu Xun, as their enemy, should not be so careless now.
He knows that facing an unknown enemy, he must do his best and act cautiously——
That's why he made such a request.
However...Pang Tong smiled and waved his hand:
"So that's the case, but General Zilong is still overly worried."
"If we talk about understanding Jiangdong, who among you here can know it better than me, who has personally drawn a map of Jiangdong?"
When Pang Tong said this, many people nodded in agreement.
They all clearly remembered what Pang Tong said - it was the extremely detailed map that Pang Tong brought when he came with Liu Bei's ship that day.
Yes, Pang Tong spent several years drawing such a detailed map of Jiangdong. How could he be hindered by mere mountains and forests?
As soon as he said this, coupled with the dissuasion from the people around him, Zhao Yun could only give up even if he was worried:
"Well...in that case...okay...but...strategist——"
Zhao Yun, who was a little unwilling, reminded Pang Tong with worry before he left:
"I also ask the military advisor to be more careful. The mountains and forests are by no means the most dangerous...I heard...I heard that there is a base of basic Shanyue people to the south of here..."
"What's my idea? It turns out it's Shanyue. Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with the people of Shanyue."
"Well...but..."
Pang Tong turned to leave, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly called his subordinates and asked them to bring them paper and pen. After writing and drawing on it for a short period of time, he folded the paper into small strips and put it on a
Inside the wooden tube, ask his subordinates to hand it over to Zhuge Liang.
"If we don't hear back for a long time, Kong Ming... just open that piece of paper. There are corresponding strategies on it."
In this way, after Pang Tong left a rather serious word, he led 20,000 troops and separated from Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others.
But Pang Tong didn't know that just when he was full of confidence, danger quietly enveloped their future.
——
Three days have passed.
Three days have passed since Zhang Zhao was arrested and the voting ended.
Wujuncheng is still the same as before, but compared to the rebound in the previous two days that was like venting pressure, Wujuncheng today finally looks a little more deserted.
On the street, apart from Zhu Huan's guards, there were only sparse pedestrians coming and going.
It seems that everyone feels the atmosphere that the storm is about to come.
At this time, what exactly the temporary General's Mansion, that is, the Lu Mansion, is doing is definitely crucial.
In fact, in the past three days, the General Mansion has not disclosed any information to the people except for the more common notices on people's livelihood.
This... was naturally Yi Xiaotian's suggestion.
"Sir...there are people making trouble outside the door again today. They are not the same group as yesterday...could it be...could it be that they really have no backers and just want to know the situation?"
The person who asked the question was Lu Su. In the past two days, it seemed that because of Sun Quan's favor, Lu Su did not dare to say that he also wanted to participate in formulating countermeasures.
But Sun Quan obviously saw what Lu Su was thinking, and made it clear to Lu Su the next night. As long as he wanted to be with Yi Xiaotian and others, he would just go -
This of course made Lu Su overjoyed.
Although from the words and deeds of Yi Xiaotian and others, we can already guess what Jiangdong will become in the future - becoming a subsidiary of Cao Cao means that Cao Cao will definitely take action in the near future to disintegrate the various alliances of forces in Jiangdong from within.
.
But the same... After so many years of tension, after these years of successive blows, the defeat of Hefei, and the death of Zhou Yu... After experiencing so much, Lu Su seemed to be really tired. After Sun Quan made his decision, Lu Su
I completely relaxed.
It can be said that he was relieved and seemed quite enthusiastic. He has been helping with ideas for the past two days.
It's just... Compared to Lu Xun and others who have always participated in the plan, Lu Su is obviously more worried about the current situation.
"I heard that Zhang Zhao's sons are planning this, but... they can't afford to cause trouble, so don't worry about it. Instead of paying attention to those young people, it's better to take a good rest, what do you think?"
Yi Xiaotian sat at the table and said to Lu Su lazily.
But seeing Yi Xiaotian doing nothing like this, Lu Su couldn't help it.
"But...but sir, you didn't send anyone to drive them away, and I didn't see you taking any action...could it be that...just by sitting here, you can guarantee that we can easily defeat Liu Bei and the others?"
Lu Su seemed a little anxious. This was indeed the first time Lu Su had met the man in front of him.
Unlike Lu Xun and others who trust Yi Xiaotian, Lu Su has been observing Yi Xiaotian in addition to asking for news these days.
However, the results of his observations were disappointing.
"Sir! These are the cherries I just bought from the market. Please try them!"
"Ah...Master Lu is here too..."
Before Yi Xiaotian could reply to Lu Su's doubts, a pleasant shout came from outside the door.
Lu Su turned around helplessly and saw a woman who was a little thin but carrying a huge rectangular cloth bag behind her back.
"Well, it's Lingqi."
Of course, Yi Xiaotian knew who was coming without raising his head.
Yi Xiaotian was a little surprised to hear that there were cherries to eat. He had been in Jiangdong for so long, and he had long known that there were very few cherries planted in Jiangdong. Even if there were, it was only for wealthy families to plant one in their yard for viewing.
Lu Lingqi walked around Lu Su, who was like a wooden stake, and came to Yi Xiaotian lightly. She casually picked off a big red cherry and stuffed it directly into Yi Xiaotian's mouth.
The cherry melted immediately in the mouth, with a hint of sourness in the pulp that made Yi Xiaotian shudder, but the sweetness made Yi Xiaotian relax a lot.
Eating cherries, Yi Xiaotian asked:
"These cherries shouldn't be from Kodong, right?"
"Sir, you really know. Yes, I heard from the vendor that this is a batch of rare goods that someone fainted from Guangling to Jingkou. Because they are preserved in ice cellars, they can still be taken out after midsummer, so the price is naturally quite high...
…Look at sir’s face…don’t these cherries taste delicious?”
"how come…"
Yi Xiaotian smiled and rubbed Lu Lingqi's head, while finally noticing Lu Su who was as stiff as a wooden stake, he shouted to him:
"Zijing, do you want to try it too?"
"..."
Lu Su was silent again... He was now very doubtful that the man in front of him was really, as Lu Xun said, a miracle worker who could defeat a powerful enemy like Liu Bei?
