When the Guo Tai heard the news, he also found Sun Quan and said, "My son, your younger sister Shangxiang is the third wife of the King of Qin. My Eastern Wu and the King of Qin have a marriage and alliance. You can ask the King of Qin for help and ask him to send troops to attack Jingzhou. In this way, Zhuge Liang would definitely lead the Chu army back to Jingzhou in order to resist the King of Qin, and the King of Qin can protect the Eastern Wu."

However, Sun Quan shook his head discouragedly. Guo Tai was a woman who did not care about state affairs and thought it was too simple.

Sun Quan explained: "Mother, you don't know anything. News has been heard one after another. In addition to Zhuge Liang leading 100,000 Chu troops to attack our Wu Kingdom, Liu Bei also led 100,000 Chu troops to deploy defenses in Xiangyang and Yidu, and the purpose of preventing the Qin army from rescueing our Wu Kingdom was obvious. Cao Cao also ordered Sima Yi to lead Wei County to attack Pingyuan County, which seemed to be fǎn     gōng Hebei, but in fact it was also to help Liu Bei restrain the Qin army in Hebei. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were still Cao Cao who had planned to destroy our Eastern Wu!"

"Ah?" Guo Tai was indeed scared when he heard this.

Sun Quan said again: "Besides, the King of Qin was leading 160,000 Qin troops to conquer Yi people in the south. It was Liu Bei and Cao Cao who seized this opportunity to plan to destroy our Eastern Wu. It is not easy to ask the King of Qin for help."

Guo Tai was so scared that his face was pale, and he only wanted to have the foundation of the Third World of Eastern Wu. Could it be that he would be ruined like this? So he felt dizzy. If Sun Quan had not supported him in time, Guo Tai would have stood up unsteadily and fell to the ground. Sun Quan hurriedly sent Guo Tai back to the back hall to rest.

He told the country to have a good rest and no need to worry about national affairs. He was the King of Wu and would definitely find ways to protect the Eastern Wu.

After coming out of the Guotai place, Sun Quan sighed in the sky.

Sun Quan also knew in his heart that instead of relying on others, he could block the attack of the Chu army led by Zhuge Liang. With his existing strength in Eastern Wu, he was much stronger than the 100,000 Chu army led by Zhuge Liang. Moreover, Eastern Wu was still the defender, while Zhuge Liang was the attacker. Eastern Wu not only had stronger troops, but also had natural advantages.

The only difference is that the Chu army was led by Zhuge Liang, which is the fundamental reason why the Chu army attacked the Eastern Wu with weak but strong attacks.

If the Eastern Wu wants to block the Chu army, he can only fight against Zhuge Liang and lead the troops in strategy, so that he can resist Zhuge Liang's Chu army. This is only more difficult.

As everyone knows, Zhuge Liang's genius, the Battle of Red Cliffs and the Battle of Jiaozhou in the past, all of Zhuge Liang's genius can be seen. The most famous person in Eastern Wu is Lu Su now, but Lu Su is far inferior to Zhou Yu in the past, and is even more like Zhuge Liang, and he is incomparable.

"If you can compete with Zhuge Liang in strategy, you need to pass the news to the King of Qin first. If the King of Qin can help you retreat to the Chu army, it would be better." Sun Quan had no choice but to send someone to ask for help from Liu Yu first, and at the same time, he looked for any talent who could compete with Zhuge Liang in strategy.

...

Yunnan.

Liu Yu had information about the Qingyiwei. Before Sun Quan sent someone to send the news, Liu Yu himself learned about Zhuge Liang's eastward expedition to destroy the Wu Kingdom. At that time, Liu Yu had just entered Yi from Yongchang County, but had to stop advancing and discuss with Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and other civil and military officials.

Liu Yu said: "The Qingyiwei of Xudu also came from news that Liu Bei promised Cao Cao Danyang and Wu County. Cao Cao had ordered Sima Yi to lead 130,000 troops to attack our Pingyuan County to support Liu Bei. This was because Liu Bei and Cao Cao had planned to annex the Eastern Wu."

Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao ordered Sima Yi to send troops to Pingyuan County to support Liu Bei, but it may not be a goal. Hebei is also the goal, and the king must be guarded. In the Eastern Wu side, he was the relative of the grandson of the king and an ally of the king, and he restrained Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the rear. If Zhuge Liang was allowed to destroy Eastern Wu and Liu Bei and Cao Cao divided the land of Eastern Wu, the king not only lost the alliance, but also Liu Bei and Cao Cao increased their strength and had no worries. It would be even more difficult for the king to destroy Liu Bei and Cao Cao to unify the world. Eastern Wu should be saved!"

Fa Zheng did not say anything. As long as it was about Liu Bei, Fa Zheng would not speak. No one knew what was wrong with Fa Zheng's thoughts. He had always maintained a trace of obsession with Liu Bei in his heart. He seemed to be unable to let go of the world's reputation of being benevolent and virtuous. He felt that Liu Bei was the most suitable wise ruler to unify the world. He was unwilling to plan Liu Bei, and he was even more unwilling to be an enemy of Liu Bei. Undoubtedly, Fa Zheng's idea is extremely dangerous, but Fa Zheng is also an extremely smart person. He never reveals his obsession in his heart, so Liu Yu did not notice it.

Jia Xu also said: "Liu Bei and Cao Cao acted at the same time, to guard against the Hebei incident, and to try to rescue the Eastern Wu. The Yi people can also fight again in the future. At the moment of trouble, I think it is best to retreat to Shu County first."

Liu Yu pondered, in Hebei, there were Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, and the soldiers from Hebei. He was not worried that Sima Yi could really be able to get Hebei. He was so worried that he would launch some offensives on the front line of Pingyuan County to restrain the soldiers from moving at will. The situation in Hebei was worry-free.

On the Wu side, he knew that he should be saved and could not let Zhuge Liang destroy Wu. But now he had just entered the Yi territory in the southern expedition. If he gave up on continuing to conquer the Yi people and withdrew his troops to rescue Sun Quan, the Yi people would inevitably counterattack. The newly recovered three counties of Yueli, Jianning and Yongchang were likely to be taken away by the Yi people again. This time, the southern expedition suffered vain and suffered a lot of losses, but it was a big loss.

Besides, the journey was long to withdraw troops from Yi to rescue Dongwu, and Liu Bei had already led 100,000 Chu troops in Xiangyang, so he was on the front line of Yidu to prevent it. He wanted to rescue Dongwu, but he only captured Yidu County and Xiangyang and rushed into the depths of Jingzhou, so that Zhuge Liang had to retreat from Wu to save Jingzhou.

But this is not easy. The time spent may take more than one month. Zhuge Liang may have conquered the Wu Kingdom.

Zhuge Liang was a genius. Since he planned to destroy Wu in the Eastern Expedition, he would naturally calculate that he would rescue Wu and asked Liu Bei to lead 100,000 Chu troops in Xiangyang and Yidu to prevent it strictly. Isn’t it just to deal with his troops to rescue Wu and attack Jingzhou?

Liu Yu sighed: "Although Wu has experienced the defeat in Jiaozhou, it has greatly damaged its vitality, but in fact Wu still has strong strength, but only a strategy leads the army. Otherwise, it will be no problem to block Zhuge Liang's attack and protect Wu.

In short, in Liu Yu's opinion, the Wu State must have someone who can compete with Zhuge Liang in strategy. In this way, the Wu State resists the attack of the Chu army and protects the Wu State.

As Liu Yu thought, Zhuge Liang's initial plan was the premise that the Wu Kingdom could not use strategy, and he could take Jianye directly.

After a pause, Liu Yu said firmly: "The people of Jiangdong are outstanding and powerful. The Wu State is not without strategy that can resist Zhuge Liang. I know that only one person is. If Sun Quan can let him command troops, he will be able to block Zhuge Liang!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Fa Zheng asked, "Who is the king talking about?"

Liu Yu just smiled, but did not say it, just said: "I have decided to continue to fight against the Yi people. This time, I must convince the Yi people and make the southern border of Yizhou completely stable. In this way, I have no worries about the north and south borders, so I can unify the whole world!"

Immediately, Liu Yu ordered the army to continue advancing south.

Of course, Liu Yu did not completely ignore the Chu army's attack on the Eastern Wu. He wanted the Dongwu to be able to block Zhuge Liang, but he did not want the defenses had been deployed in Yidu. Liu Bei's 100,000 Chu troops on the front line of Xiangyang also participated in the attack on the Eastern Wu without scrupulously.

Liu Yu ordered Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Hanzhong to draw 60,000 troops, Xu Huang led the troops, and attacked Shangyong, first recovered Xincheng County, which was captured by Zhuge Liang more than a year ago, and threatened Xiangyang. At the same time, he ordered Gan Ning, who was training the navy in Jiangzhou, to lead its navy troops down the river and attack Yidu County. The purpose was not to capture Yidu County and Xiangyang and break into the depths of Jingzhou, but to restrain the 100,000 Chu troops led by Liu Bei and not be moved. Whether Wu can be saved depends on Wu itself.
