"In June of the first year of Xingyuan, the Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, was named Huanglong. On the 17th, the general of the Eastern Wu naval army, Ding Feng, led the navy to appear in Xiakou, saying that he wanted to suppress the water thieves. After being blocked by General Wenpin, he brazenly launched an attack. Wu general Zhu Ran led his army to attack Jiangxia from Lujiang, and Wu general Xu Sheng led his troops to attack Guiyang from Panyang to block General Huang Zhong..." In Chang'an, in the court, Huang Hao was reading the express news from Jingzhou. This was the last month. It took several timely messages from Jingzhou, and it still took more than half a month to send it.

On the throne, Liu Chan listened quietly, saw Huang Hao stopping, frowned and said, "Why stop? I miss it!"

"Here!" Huang Hao, a small yellow gate, quickly agreed and continued: "There were several tribes in Jingzhou plotting to launch a turmoil, but they were discovered and wiped out by Jingzhou Governor Cui Zhouping in time. However, even so, Jiangling Water Village was burned, and ten warships, two tower ships and nearly a hundred boats were damaged."

"Dongwu!" Liu Chan smiled bitterly and looked at His Highness and officials and said, "What do you think?"

Huang Quan stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, our dynasty has always been committed to the Sun-Liu alliance. In the 25th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan took advantage of the late emperor's army to pacify Shu, and then he intended to attack. After the failure, the late emperor ignored the past and reconciled the old relationship with him. Sun Quan wanted to become emperor, but our dynasty did not stop him. However, he came to attack without regard for morality. I think he should launch an army to attack!"

"Not bad!" Wu Yi stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty was in charge of the country, and Eastern Wu brought in troops to invade, completely ignoring the morality of his allies, and was supposed to attack!"

The civil and military officials in the court were also full of righteous indignation. After all, Eastern Wu has always been a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. In recent years, the two sides have launched trade and even traded weapons, so that Eastern Wu can fight back when facing Cao Wei. Now the Han Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. As long as it continues to cooperate and wipe out the world, it is no dream to revive the Han Dynasty. At this time, Eastern Wu's alliance is difficult for many people to accept and not understand.

Is this a typical shameful friend?

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang: "What do you think of the Prime Minister?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang pondered: "Sun Quan will naturally attack him, but I think the most urgent task is to guard against Cao Wei! The navy that the general stationed in Yiling can temporarily delay the southward journey."

"Oh?" Liu Chan said in confusion: "Although Xu Huang stationed troops in Xingyang, he was blocked by his elder brother in Hulao Pass for several attacks, so he could not advance in a stunning situation. What threats are there?"

The defense in the Heluo area is said to be indestructible. When Liu Yi designed the defense system, he deployed all possible attack points of the Wei army, and even made preparations for Pubanjin.

"Although the Eastern Wu has grown stronger over the years, its territory is limited after all, and it is not as fast as our dynasty. Sun Quan also knows this. If Cao Wei had not sent troops, he would not dare to provoke our dynasty!" Zhuge Liang looked at his ministers and said, "Our dynasty was unstable at that time. When we first obtained Shu, the Eastern Wu was unable to seize Jingxiang. Now our dynasty is domineering in Guanzhong and connecting the north and south. Have you ever thought that if Cao Wei was just a soldier from Xingyang to attack, would the Eastern Wu dare to be arrogant?"

Previously, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others had speculated that Cao Wei might have made a big move this time and wanted to regain the land of Guanzhong, but it has not been confirmed. However, this time, the Eastern Wu took action one after another. Although Jiaozhou has retreated, it is enough to confirm the speculations that Xu Huang's troops were probably just a void soldier, and the real main force may appear at any time.

"But why don't you move your two uncles?" Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion and asked.

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Jiangxia has 20,000 naval troops, and Jiangling has 10,000 naval troops. Although some ships have been damaged, the main force of our army's Jingzhou is still there, not to mention that there are 30,000 garrisons in Jingnan. Our army has a geographical advantage, and there are also good generals such as Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, and Wenpin. The Eastern Wu may be arrogant for a moment, but it is difficult to shake the Jingzhou crisis. Therefore, the two generals do not need to move."

"Further!" Zhuge Liang looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "If the two generals of Guan and Zhang do not move, Cao Wei will definitely be afraid. Now the most prestige in our court is the two generals and Sikong Liu Yi. Now Sikong is in Xiliang to defend against the Huns, then the two generals are the pillars of the country. If the two generals appear, the Wei army will be without any scruples. But if the two generals do not appear, the Wei Dynasty will definitely be afraid and will be able to buy more time for the Shiyuan to prepare for war."

Liu Chan suddenly said when he heard this: "What the Prime Minister said is quite consistent with my wish, but what should the situation be like now?"

"Since the Eastern Wu has sent troops, it also needs to shock the Eastern Wu this time, but it needs to distinguish the main and secondary. At present, we should focus on repelling the Wei army with all our strength. We can order Wenpin, Chen Dao and Huang Zhong to defend the three generals. When our dynasty defeats the Wei army, the Eastern Wu will be unable to support it alone, so we will naturally retreat. At that time, the two generals sent troops from Bashu and went downstream, and they can defeat the Eastern Wu in one battle!" At the end of the day, a flash of intention flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

If the Eastern Wu was willing to be obedient and had been aligned with the Han Dynasty. After the Cao Wei was pacified, the best result would be to merge with the Han Dynasty. However, now it seems that Sun Quan is not satisfied with restoring the Han Dynasty. Since he has become emperor, it is naturally the best if he has the opportunity to defeat Jiangdong. If he can defeat Cao Wei this time, it is also a good choice to conquer Jiangdong. The Han Dynasty is now not weaker than Jiangdong in terms of water transportation.

Zhuge Liang's plan to divide the world into three parts was because Liu Bei was too weak at that time and had to use Jiangdong as an allies to resist Cao Cao. However, now the Han Dynasty is already strong, and the pattern of splitting the world into three parts is not conducive to the Han Dynasty's revitalization of the world. If he could take advantage of the situation to capture Jiangdong, this was a risk worth taking.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if the man loses, he will only lose a small loss and will not hurt his body. At most, he will be frustrated by Jiangdong. The three families will lick their wounds and see each other again in the future.

With Zhuge Liang's character, such a decision was not in line with it, but this crisis was also an opportunity for the Han Dynasty. If only the Han Dynasty could successfully conquer Jiangdong, the only thing left was the Han Dynasty to compete with Cao Wei, and the world would be much faster to reunite.

If this opportunity is missed, according to the results of his previous deductions with Pang Tong and Liu Yi, it is conservatively estimated that it will take twenty years to unify. This also ensures that the great man can continue to grow rapidly as fast as he is now. If there is a difference in the middle, this time will continue to move backwards.

He has been following Liu Bei for twenty years. Zhuge Liang was not worried about time before, but now, with Liu Bei's departure, Zhuge Liang has also begun to worry about whether he will have the opportunity to see the world reunification in his lifetime. Therefore, in this decision, he chose a relatively radical approach.

Such a major decision will naturally not result immediately, but the basic strategy has been decided, so we must focus on the direction that Cao Wei may launch. Pang Tong has now gone to Nanyang, which is the most likely entry point for Cao Wei to predict that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

But apart from this, Cao Wei did not have other roads, such as taking a detour from Bingzhou to attack Xiliang, attacking Luoyang from Hedong or Hongnong.

With the capture of Guanzhong, the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei were fully bordered, and the offensive and defensive routes that could be chosen also increased. Now the Han Dynasty's army reserves are not as large as those of Cao Wei, and the front lines need defense from north to south, even the northwest, and the south and central regions need a lot of troops.

Just like Cao Wei had many soldiers and a wide range of generals back then, he could not concentrate his troops to kill the Han or Eastern Wu, now the Han Dynasty also faces this problem. He is also strong in troops, but he has to defend from all sides. The number of troops he can actually call is not as many as in Shu.

When he left the hall, it was almost evening. Zhuge Liang was still very satisfied with Liu Chan. This new king obviously had a momentum and had the ambition to wipe out the world. Although he was immature in politics, he was young after all. Zhuge Liang believed that with the assistance of so many wise ministers and generals of the Han Dynasty, he would be able to revive the Han Dynasty and revive the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the premise of these plans is that the direction of Xiliang will not be in chaos. Zhao Yun has already shocked the Qiang, but Zhuge Liang was still a little worried on Liu Yi's side. He knew what Liu Yi was doing recently and could probably guess Liu Yi's idea. It's just that this idea is too big. It's not just a matter of war. It involves a lot of things. But at the worst, it's just that it's just that it continues to defend Xiliang, the Xiongnu, and the Xianbei invade the south for years. But in fact, even without this, they will not stop.

Since that's the case, since Liu Yi wants to try, let him try. If he succeeds, it will be of great help to the future of the Han Dynasty and Liu Chan's prestige.

His ideal is expected to be realized. Now, let Bo Yuan try to see whether his ideal can be realized in the northwest!
