In addition to Jiangdong Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, there are also Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Jia Xu, and Gongsun Zan.
The four major princes are now gathered together, and Cao Cao is the leader of the alliance.
Just like Yuan Shao, he led the eighteen princes.
Boss Cao also became the leader of the alliance this time.
It's just that most of those previous allies have disappeared in the long river of history. Even the original leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, was beaten to death by Jiang Siming until he vomited blood.
Now that only their five-way alliance is left, Boss Cao can be said to be the most serious about the alliance in history.
Originally, he would not come to the lair of other princes at all. A suspicious person like him would have to carry a knife with him when sleeping.
But in order to prevent Jiang Siming from becoming more powerful, he also put aside his suspicions, chose to trust his allies, and came to Jiangdong to preside over the war situation.
"Everyone, according to the report from the spies, Jiang Bei's army has all gathered in Winterfell, but they have been slow to take action. They just set up camp and make fires to cook every day. What do you think?" Boss Cao asked.
Gongsun Zan said: "I think that King Ming... Oh no, Jiang Bei."
As soon as Gongsun Zan read the words Ming Wang, he found that the other three princes looked at him with dissatisfaction, so he quickly changed his words.
Actually, he knew how much he weighed, and he had no intention of becoming emperor and unifying the country, but he was just afraid that Jiang Siming would grow stronger in the future and carve up his one-third of an acre of land.
It stands to reason that Gongsun Zan actually had a relationship with Jiang Siming. It was Jiang Siming who rescued his Youzhou with reinforcements, and the two sides also traded grain and horses with each other.
It can be said that the friendship is good, but for his own benefit, he watched Jiang Siming rule the six continents, and the next step is to unify the world.
Gongsun Zan could only join the alliance army.
"General Gongsun, please continue." Boss Cao said.
Gongsun Zan continued: "The reason why Jiang Bei stood still is because we joined forces and sent them to Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou plus Liu Biao's army has a total of 300,000. Even if Jiang Bei wants to attack, the city of Jingzhou will be easy to change."
It’s hard to defend, but it’s not that easy to break in.”
Boss Cao nodded and said, "That's right."
But Zhuge Liang beside Liu Bei said: "Everyone must not take it lightly. Based on my understanding of Jiang Bei, he will never fight without preparation. He has many capable advisers under his command. The alliance of military advisors headed by Guo Jia,
They love trickery the most, and Liang thinks that although they appear to be motionless, they are actually brewing an extraordinary plot."
Boss Cao frowned and suddenly became a little suspicious. He felt that what Zhuge Liang said made sense.
He is the one who knows Jiang Siming best here, and this guy has never seen him suffer a loss.
"Then Zhuge Liang, what plan do you think Jiang Bei is brewing?"
Zhuge Liang did not answer in a hurry, but closed his eyes and shook his feather fan gently, as if he was asleep.
Zhou Yu felt unhappy when she saw him pretending like this. He was small-minded and conceited.
In Jiangdong, he is the chief governor and the number one think tank in Jiangdong.
But now when something happens, no one asks him first, but instead asks Zhuge Liang.
"From my point of view, no matter how resourceful and resourceful Jiang Bei's military advisors are, they can't defeat the city of Jingzhou. To be honest and transparent, I, Jiangdong, have launched no less than a hundred battles against Jingzhou, but they still can't break through Jingzhou's copper and iron walls. He alone
Jiang Siming, you want to take over Jingzhou City when you first come here? I think it’s just an idiot’s dream!”
After hearing this, everyone thought it made sense.
Everyone wants this fast and fertile land in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei is the one who is so greedy that he can drool.
But if you want to capture Jingzhou, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
At this time, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and said: "If attacking the city doesn't work... what if it collapses from the inside?"
"How do you explain this?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.
Zhuge Liang said: "I once heard my brother talk to military advisors like Guo Jia and others about the concubine of Liu Biao in Jingzhou who fell in love with Jiang Bei at first sight."
"What? How is this possible?" Boss Cao didn't believe it. Shouldn't all wives love him? How could they love Jiang Siming?
Jia Xu, who had been silent behind him, also agreed: "Kong Ming is right. As far as I know, in the past, when Jiang Bei and Yuan Shao fought, after the lord cut off Jiang Bei's food and grass, Jiang Bei wrote a letter and sent it immediately.
When I went to Jingzhou, I didn't go through Liu Biao's hands, but gave it directly to Madam Cai. After Madam Cai saw the letter, she decisively sent hundreds of thousands of stones of grain to Jiang Bei."
Depend on!
The men present could not help but use foul language and began to angrily call Jiang Siming a pretty boy and a freeloader.
But besides the abuse, there was deep envy and jealousy that could not be concealed.
If you write a letter, you can get hundreds of thousands of stones of food, and they are willing to be a pretty boy. Who doesn't like to eat this soft rice?
It's not Cao Dahua, he has to eat soft food hard.
Liu Bei was extremely sad. He had been to Jingzhou and met Mrs. Cai once. She was an out-and-out beauty!
Just her appearance and figure were as good as any woman he had ever seen.
And when Liu Bei was in Yongzhou, he was also attracted by a female city lord from the Western Regions.
But the female city lord looked... just like his former third brother. She was tall and thick, and her arms were thicker than his legs.
In this way, in order to strengthen his own army and horses, he still had to marry him home.
Now, just thinking about returning to Yongzhou makes his legs tremble and he is exhausted...
"Just wait, when I, Liu Bei, have established a firm foothold in the Central Plains, I will never go back again!" Liu Bei swore secretly in his heart.
Zhuge Liang interrupted everyone's speculation and continued: "Our top priority now is to send people to take control of the overall situation in Jingzhou. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is old and dizzy, and the power has already fallen into the hands of Mrs. Cai. If she listens to Jiang Bei's rhetoric, she will deceive the city.
Door, that..."
"The consequences will be unimaginable!"
The few men no longer had the time to think about other issues. After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, this was an imminent event!
If the city of Jingzhou was really deceived by Jiang Siming, not only would Jingzhou be gone, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses they invested would definitely have been wasted.
The most important thing is that one of the five alliances betrayed them before the war started. The blow to the alliance can be imagined.
"But Liu Biao is not in charge of Jingzhou City now. How can Mrs. Cai allow me to take over Jingzhou and control the overall situation?" Cao Cao said with a headache.
Now Jingzhou has become a troublesome thing, neither can we enter it, nor can we leave it.
Zhou Yu stood up at this time and said: "In my opinion, since the hard one is not enough, then we have to get the soft one."
"What's the explanation?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.
Zhou Yu smiled complacently and said: "Since Jiang Bei can be soft, why can't we? We can also send handsome men to Jingzhou to meet Mrs. Cai and explain the interests. Doesn't Mrs. Cai just like handsome men? Don't we
In the territory of the four major alliances, there are still no handsome and handsome people?"
The implication is: Who the hell isn’t a handsome guy anymore?
After saying this, all the men puffed up their chests consciously, as if they fit the bill.
