On a small boat on the Yangtze River.
"Military Advisor, the war is coming, why do you still want to go to River East?”
Zhao Yun looked at Guo Jia in confusion.
After all, almost everyone knew the purpose of Cao Cao's army. There was no point in going to River East.
If he angered Sun Quan and the others, Guo Jia might be detained in River East.
Guo Jia smiled and shook his head.
"Zilong, don't panic. I have a plan in mind. Besides, even if Sun Quan wants me to stay, the others in River East will stop him.”
One had to know that there were many great clans in River East, and even Sun Quan didn't have complete control over River East.
On the contrary, most of the strategists under him came from the various aristocratic families.
For the sake of his own clan's interests, Sun Quan probably had quite a number of factions under him.
Therefore, at least Guo Jia's safety could be guaranteed.
Guo Jia's objective for this trip was to pay a visit to these great clans.
It was to prepare for his return to River East.
After all, in Guo Jia's heart, Boss Cao might not be able to take down Jiangdong this time. His personal strategic goal was to consume as many soldiers as possible in Jiangdong.
In this way.
Boss Cao, who controlled the entire northern part of the Central Plains, would undoubtedly recover faster than the other party.
At that time, as long as they sent troops to pacify Western Liang.
Only Jiangdong and Yizhou were left in the world.
And when he sent troops to Western Liang, Sun Quan was powerless even if he wanted to attack Cao Cao's rear!
After the two of them crossed the river, they rushed to Chaisang.
"Other things aside, in this chaotic world, River East can barely be considered a pure land.”
Guo Jia looked at the bustling atmosphere in Chaisang City and could not help but sigh.
"That's right. If the world could be like this, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, how good would that be!”
At this moment, Zhao Yun also had a rueful expression.
In fact, his greatest wish was to restore peace to the world.
"Don't worry, Zilong. This day is not far away!”
"At the very least, the entire northern part of the Central Plains will no longer have to suffer from the chaos of war!”
Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.
"Advisor Jun, where are we going next?”
He didn't know Guo Jia's plan, so he asked.
"Go see Zhang Zhao!"
Guo Jia clearly remembered that Zhang Zhao was a big shot in the Jiangdong faction that had surrendered.
As long as he had a good relationship with the other party, he would undoubtedly be able to quickly build a relationship with these families in River East.
After that, Guo Jia found a commoner and asked for directions before heading straight to the Zhang Manor.
"Mister Zibu isn't here?"
Guo Jia looked at the guards at the entrance of the Zhang Manor in confusion.
"That's right. My Lord went to see the Lord early this morning. If Sir has something to do, please come and visit later!”
The guard explained.
"Thank you so much!"
After Guo Jia asked about the location of Sun Quan's residence, he brought Zhao Yun along.
"I didn't expect Kong Ming to move so quickly. It seems that we can't underestimate him!”
"Advisor Jun, you mean Mister Kong Ming is also here?”
Hearing Guo Jia's sigh, Zhao Yun also asked.
"That's right, with the current situation, Liu Bei can only hope to ally with Sun Quan to fight against the Prime Minister!”
Guo Jia didn't want to hide anything from Zhao Yun.
After all, Guo Jia knew very well that with Zhao Yun's character, since he had already pledged his loyalty to Cao Cao, he would definitely not have any other thoughts.
……
At the prefect's manor.
Sun Quan sat on the main seat, while the left and right sides of the seat were filled with the civil and military officials of River East.
Zhuge Liang stood alone in the middle.
Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang curiously, wanting to know what was so different about the famous Crouching Dragon.
As for the first elder on the left, he was the head of the Jiangdong civil officials, Zhang Zhao.
At this moment, Zhang Zhao frowned. With his intelligence, it was not difficult for him to guess the purpose of Zhuge Liang's trip.
Seeing that Sun Quan didn't say anything, Zhang Zhao stepped forward." May I know why Mr. Zhuge has come to River East?”
"Are you the famous pillar of Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu?”
Zhuge Liang didn't answer. Instead, he asked about his identity.
"Thank you for your praise, sir!”
"From what I can see today, Mister Zi Bu only has an undeserved reputation.”
Zhang Zhao's expression was filled with rage. It must be known that no one in River East dared to speak to him in such a manner. Even Sun Quan was extremely respectful towards him.
Before Zhang Zhao could speak, Zhuge Liang spoke like a lotus flower.
"In my humble opinion, Cao Cao has millions of people in the Central Plains and has just obtained Jingzhou. He is eyeing Jiangdong covetously.”
"The Han Dynasty has ten points of the world. Cao Cao has already obtained 70 points. The remaining ones are only General Sun and Liu Yizhou. Would Cao Cao be willing to let go of such a great opportunity?”
"Furthermore, everyone in the world can surrender to Cao Cao. Even if Mister Zi Bu surrenders to Cao Cao, he won't lose his marquis title.”
"Zibu, are you trying to kill General Sun?”
Zhuge Liang's words made Zhang Zhao's face turn green and red.
Although he was indeed the leader of the surrender faction, he was loyal to the Sun family. However, these words made him unable to refute.
"I've long heard of the great name of the Zhuge of the Crouching Dragon, but I didn't think that you'd rely on your eloquence to get your name. No wonder Envoy Liu ended up in this state.”
A middle-aged scholar could not help but step forward when he saw Zhang Zhao being deflated.
Her words had even stepped on Zhuge Liang's sore spot.
Although he compared himself to Guan Zhong, it was an indisputable fact that he was defeated by Cao Cao.
"Are the people of River East all so ignorant?”
"I'm not talented. I burned Bowang with thousands of old and weak soldiers in Xinye and defeated Xiahou Dun's 100,000-strong army. I'm no weaker than Guan Zhong and Yue Yi.”
"How can we retreat to Jiangxia with so few soldiers and still resist Cao?”
"Could it be that the people of River East, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, are willing to surrender without fighting?”
Yu Fan was speechless.
"Oh? I heard that Kong Ming wants to fight against Cao Cao's army?"
