Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 531 What do you think about Xuzhou

Regarding the fact that the Sun family in Guangling County intends to surrender their land, although it is still kept secret from the outside world, there is still some information circulating among the senior officials within Zhu Wei.

After all, Sun Shangxiang crossed the river to Yangxian, personally persuaded Zhou Yu and Chen Wu to surrender, and also talked about Huang Gai, Han Dang and other Sun captives surrendering.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin also knew about this matter, knowing that Sun's condition included marriage, and now he is also planning to use marriage as a key factor as a condition to appease Sun.

After hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Zhu Wei nodded noncommittally. In fact, Zhu Wei had already discussed these things with Wang Yuyan yesterday, and Wang Yuyan almost proposed a similar arrangement.

Then Zhu Wei looked at Yi Ji and Kan Ze. After hearing Zhuge Jin's words, they both nodded in agreement. They couldn't think of anything else to add.

So Zhu Wei turned his head to look at Jia Xu again, but Jia Xu still squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was still thinking about something, and didn't intend to speak right away, so Zhu Wei had no choice but to turn his head and look again. Glancing at Zhuge Liang, who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?"

Zhu Wei couldn't help asking Zhuge Liang curiously, he didn't know if Zhuge Liang would have a different opinion.

Hearing Zhu Wei's roll call, Zhuge Liang couldn't help looking at his elder brother Zhuge Jin, but he still said, "I don't know what the lord's intentions are when he takes Guangling County this time? But what do you think about Xuzhou? What about Lu Bu and Liu Beibing in Xuzhou?" Even horses are insufficient, if the lord sends troops, he may be defeated in one battle!"

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang asked a question that made Zhu Wei frown a bit. Zhuge Liang didn't really care much about the situation of the Sun family in Guangling County. In his opinion, as long as Zhu Wei took Guangling County, the Sun family would not take office. With Zhu Wei making the decision, Zhuge Liang could think of many ways to deal with the Sun clan and the retainers who were originally attached to the Sun clan.

So Zhuge Liang was already thinking about the strategic significance for Zhu Wei if Zhu Wei took down Guangling County.

The simplest thing is that Guangling County is a part of Xuzhou, and Lu Bu, who occupies Xuzhou now, obviously has a lack of troops. The elite main force may only have a few thousand people, and the rest are mostly patchwork of miscellaneous troops, and the total will not exceed [-].

But Liu Bei had fewer troops. After all, Lu Bu took Xuzhou from Liu Bei. Of course, it was impossible to give Liu Bei too many troops to threaten himself.

Therefore, in the original history, Liu Bei relied on the money and food support of the Mi brothers. When Xiaopei retrained more than [-] troops, Lu Bu brazenly sent troops to Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei had to flee to Cao Cao to take refuge.

It can be seen that Lu Bu will never allow Liu Bei to have a force that threatens him. In this way, although Liu Bei is still in Xuzhou, his force is only a few thousand.

It is also the same that the Guangling County originally occupied by Sun Ce was able to live in peace with Lu Bu and Liu Bei, but if Zhu Wei occupied Guangling County, it should be a breeze to send a random army to attack Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

It's just that Zhuge Liang probably didn't mean that in his heart, so what he said now was actually a bit of a test of Zhu Wei, and it was still a way to grab the head start.

But after hearing his words, Zhuge Jin, Yi Ji, and Kan Ze couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang with a flicker of eyes. Only the old poisoner Jia Xu over there still glanced at Zhuge Liang slightly, but didn't say anything. He also looked at Zhu Wei, waiting for Zhu Wei to give a response.

Fortunately, Zhu Wei had already discussed this issue with Wang Yuyan yesterday, obviously Wang Yuyan also disapproved of Zhu Wei sending troops to capture Xuzhou, so after Zhu Wei frowned, he said as if to explain, "Kong Ming is joking again! Although the land of Xuzhou is now within easy reach of Wei, it is useless to seize it, and it will put Wei in a passive situation! At that time, Yuan Shao in the north, Cao Cao in Gunzhou, and Yuan Shu in Shouchun will all regard Wei as an enemy. If all three parties attack Xuzhou , I'm afraid that even Guangling County may not be able to stay in our hands."

"Haha, although Lu Bu and Liu Bei are poor and weak now, having him waiting in Xuzhou can help our army block contact with Yuan Shao in the north, and also create a confidant for Cao Cao. I will fight again easily! In this way, although Xuzhou is not in my hands, it can still be used by our army. When the time comes, Xuzhou is also at your fingertips. Now, it is not appropriate to attack Lu Bu and Liu Bei, but to seek opportunities to make friends with them. yes!"

Zhu Wei revealed the result of the discussion with Wang Yuyan last night. Obviously, under the current situation, it is more beneficial for Zhu Wei to make friends with Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

Anyway, Lu Bu and Liu Bei cannot use Xuzhou to strengthen their power if they occupy Xuzhou, and as long as Xuzhou does not fall into the hands of others, they will also not be able to strengthen other people's strength, so maintaining the status quo of Xuzhou is the best situation.

After hearing Zhu Wei's words, the expressions of Zhuge Jin, Yi Ji, and Kan Ze calmed down. They were really attracted by Xuzhou just now, but now they listened to Zhu Wei's explanation, and only then did they get out of their immediate interests. got rid of it.

At this time, the three of them couldn't help but look at Zhu Wei with a bit of admiration. Even if they knew that Zhu Wei might have received Wang Yuyan's advice, no matter what, Zhu Wei finally had such a vision and came to such a conclusion, which also shows that It was true that they followed Zhu Wei.

Over there, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu looked at Zhu Wei with secret satisfaction, but Zhuge Liang still subconsciously looked at Wang Yuyan. In fact, he was hiding something in his heart, which was to ask Zhu Wei to befriend Lu Bu. He was originally prepared. He wanted to turn his words around to persuade him, but he didn't expect Zhu Wei to figure it out without his persuasion.

Based on Zhuge Liang's current understanding of Zhu Wei, he understands that Zhu Wei may not be able to see these things clearly at once. Presumably, Wang Yuyan must have considered this before and told Zhu Wei about it. That's why Zhu Wei is able to keep calm now. Put on this pose.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help admiring secretly, the wife of the lord is indeed Zhu Wei's number one military adviser, but he felt a little frustrated in his heart, with Wang Yuyan around, he seemed to be a bit out of line.

And now that Zhu Wei has made it clear, what should he say next.

So Zhuge Liang searched for words in his mind, and then Zhuge Liang said again, "What my lord has seen is really far-reaching! It seems that Liang didn't think carefully! However, Liang heard that Lu Bu had a daughter who was going to marry Yuan Shu's son. Now if my lord wants to make friends with Lu Bu Well, maybe we can marry Lu Bu again!"

"Kong Ming, you are not very old, but why are you in charge of my family's affairs!"

Zhu Wei did not expect that Zhuge Liang would talk about the situation of Lu Bu's daughter again. Looking at Zhuge Liang's eyes at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little weird. Zhu Wei felt that Zhuge Liang definitely did this on purpose, although it was indeed a way to make friends with Lu Bu.

But it may not be a good thing for Zhu Wei to let Zhu Wei get so close to Lu Bula. After all, Lu Bu is obviously going to be defeated. After that day...
