After Sun Quan entered the back hall where the women were, he respectfully stood outside a door.
"Your son, Zhongmou, wishes to meet mother."
Sun Quan did not dare to act rashly here.
Although the person inside was not his biological mother, she was his deceased mother's sister.
And before his mother died, she told him to treat her the same way he treated her.
In addition, she was the second wife of his father, Sun Jian, after all, so he had to treat her with caution.
"Come in!"
A voice rang out from within the room, and Sun Quan directly walked in upon hearing this.
"Zhongmou greets mother."
After Sun Quan entered the room, he bowed.
In the room, a middle-aged woman was sitting. She looked to be in her forties or fifties.
However, if Boss Cao saw this, he would probably have some thoughts in his heart.
"My son, there is no need to be so polite. Why have you come today?”
Grand Madame looked at Sun Quan with a puzzled expression.
One had to know that Sun Quan rarely came to visit her. Usually, he would come once every three days.
However, Sun Quan had just come yesterday, so why was he here today?
When Sun Quan heard this, his expression turned desolate." Your son has come this time with a matter that I hope Mother will agree to!”
Currently, there was only one girl of the right age in Jiangdong who was worthy of marrying Cao Jun by marriage.
It was Sun Shangxiang, the biological daughter of the Grand Madame.
"My son, there's no harm in saying it."
"Today, your son has received a report that Gongjin was defeated by Cao Cao at Red Cliff. Cao Cao's army of hundreds of thousands is heading straight for River East.”
"And Liu Bei took advantage of the chaos to seize Luling County.”
"Now that my River East is in danger, I'm afraid it's in danger of being destroyed!”
Grand Madame's expression changed when she heard this.
She wasn't an ordinary woman who didn't understand military affairs. After following Sun Jian for so many years, she had seen a lot.
She also understood the current situation. If she was not careful, the entire Sun family would be destroyed!
"Does Zhang Zibu have any countermeasures?"
Grand Madam anxiously asked. The only person she could think of now was Zhang Zhao.
"Zi Bu has come up with a plan for your son, but I must first obtain mother's approval.”
Sun Quan mustered up his courage and glanced at Grand Madame before gritting his teeth.
"Speak!"
"Zibu said that Shang Xiang could marry the Cao army and force them to retreat. Only then would he have the energy to deal with Liu Bei, and the crisis would naturally be resolved.”
Grand Madame's expression changed when she heard this.
Unlike Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang was her biological daughter, and she doted on her in every possible way.
"Is there really no other way?”
"No!" If there was any other way, he wouldn't have asked Cao Cao for peace.
Grand Madame's expression started to become conflicted, and Sun Quan's heart was also filled with apprehension.
If the other party was unwilling, then he could not force the other party to compromise. He could only find another way.
"This matter, you can decide on your own. As long as River East is safe and sound!”
"I'm tired. Zhongmou, you can go down first.”
After a long time, the Grand Mistress finally spoke.
……
Luling County, prefect's office.
"Kong Ming, you really have a divine plan. Now that I have a place to settle down, the day of my rise is not far away, and the day of peace for the people of the world is not far away!”
"But Kong Ming, how did you predict that Jiang Dong would lose this battle?”
Liu Bei said loudly from the main seat.
"My lord, you flatter me. I was just taking precautions and left a way out for my lord in advance. I didn't expect it to really come in handy!”
Zhuge Liang shook his head. He didn't think that Boss Cao could defeat the Jiangdong Navy.
However, for some reason, Guo Jia's figure could not be removed from his mind.
In the end, he made this decision and sent a message to Liu Bei in advance, telling him to make preparations.
"Haha, Kong Ming, you don't have to be so modest. This time, it's all thanks to Kong Ming's plan!”
"Don't be happy too early, my lord. I think Jiangdong will come to find trouble with us next!”
However, Liu Bei did not care about what Zhuge Liang said.
What a joke. Now that River East was too busy to take care of itself, how could they have the chance to fight him?
It was already good enough that he did not take advantage of the situation!
"Kong Ming is worrying too much, but what should we do next?”
This was what Liu Bei wanted to ask the most.
After all, he would never be satisfied if he was forced to stay in this county forever.
"Raise troops and store up food, wait for the opportunity to attack Jiaozhou!”
A cold light flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.
This was also the only way out he had planned for Liu Bei.
Now that the world was becoming clearer, the only places Liu Bei had a chance of occupying were Jiaozhou and Yizhou.
However, with Liu Bei's current situation, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to attack Yizhou, which had steep terrain, strong folk customs, and abundant money and food.
Therefore, the best way was to take down Jiaozhou, which was adjacent to Luling County.
At that time, with Jiaozhou as the foundation, slowly plotting against Yizhou was the best plan.
"Then I'll leave everything to Kong Ming!”
Liu Bei also understood that his greatest reliance was Zhuge Liang, so he trusted him unconditionally.
On the contrary, Zhuge Liang could not help but smile bitterly.
Although he had already decided on the direction of his development, Zhuge Liang still felt a headache when he thought of Shi Xie, who had led Jiaozhou for many years, and the complicated situation of Jiaozhou's forces.
What's more, the most important thing now was to deal with the anger of Jiang Dong!
