Liu Bei personally led the army into Xichuan to help Liu Zhang resist Zhang Lu.

Although the news was strictly blocked, because Lu Meng had already installed countless spies in Jiangling, he soon obtained the definite news.

Lu Meng believes that Jingzhou divided troops into Xichuan and weakened its defensive strength, which is a good opportunity to collect Jingzhou!

Because his immediate superior, Lu Su, had a good relationship with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, he definitely did not agree to unilaterally tear up the alliance to attack Jingzhou, so he sent someone to Wujun and reported directly to Sun Quan.

When Sun Quan heard the news that Liu Bei had gone to Xichuan, he felt mixed emotions. Liu Bei, who had lived on his territory, was unknowingly strong enough to raise an army alone to conquer Xichuan.

When Lu Su wrote the loan note, Liu Bei promised to return it to Jingzhou after seeking Xichuan.

Now that Liu Bei has sent troops to Xichuan, it means that he has taken back Jingzhou for a short time, he summoned a group of civil and military officials to discuss: How will Jiangdong act after Liu Bei acquires Xichuan?

Jingzhou was a strategic place that Sun Quan dreamed of. Because of the need to fight Cao Cao, he could only lend it to his ally and brother-in-law Liu Bei to settle down.

After Sun Quan announced the news, it was still unknown whether Liu Bei could occupy Xichuan because he had just entered Xichuan. It was too early to discuss the issue of taking back Jingzhou, and everyone kept silent.

After all, sneak attacking allies is not a good idea! It is understandable that everyone didn't speak out. Seeing that the scene was a little weird, Gu Yong first came out and said in order to ease the atmosphere:

"Liu Bei divided his troops and left in the mountains and was called "to fight Zhang Lu together with Liu Zhang, but in order to gain the land of Xichuan, the outcome is unpredictable. Even if he wants to escape unscathed, it will be difficult! However, Liu Bei's heroes in the world, or cherish his reputation, and do not want to attack Liu Zhang for a while, it is likely that the relocation in Xichuan will be delayed for a long time. Why don't the lord pretend to send troops to help as his brother, send troops to intercept the entrance to Sichuan first and cut off his way back, forcing Liu Bei to strive for Xichuan with all his might. Then he lost his righteousness because he had the excuse of tearing down the alliance, and he could raise all the troops from Jiangdong and collect Jingxiang in one go? This is an opportunity that cannot be missed."

Gu Yong, whose courtesy name is Yuantan, was from Wuxian County, Wujun, and was close to Sun Quan. His great-grandfather Gu Feng was the prefect of Yingchuan, the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Gu Yong was young, he became a teacher in Cai Yong and learned to play the piano and calligraphy. He was quick-witted, calm and focused, and his arts improved day by day. He was loved by Cai Yong.

Cai Yong regarded Gu Yong as his direct descendant and even gave him all his name. Therefore, Gu Yong and his teacher Cai Yong had the same name ("Yong" and Cai Yong's "Yong"). Because he was often praised by his teachers, his name was Yuantan.

Later, he was recommended to the prefectures and counties as the chief of Hefei when Gu Yong was in a twentieth century, and successively served as the county magistrate of Lou, Qu'a and Shangyu. Wherever he was located, he had outstanding political achievements.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Sun Quan learned the prefect of Kuaiji. He stayed in Wujun to deal with Jiangdong affairs, but did not take office. He appointed Gu Yong as the county magistrate and acted as the prefect.

Gu Yong fought against the bandits in Wu County, which made the county brigade quiet and the officials and the people surrendered. Gu Yong's talents were appreciated by Sun Quan, and he is currently serving as the left Sima in the Sun Quan shogunate, which is highly valued by Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was not comparable to Liu Zhang. He quickly understood Gu Yong's meaning. He wanted to justify the annexation of the entire Jingzhou, leaving Liu Bei with nothing to say! Sun Quan was happy and couldn't help but praise:

"Yuan sighed that this plan is great!" He was about to discuss the dispatch of troops.

Zhang Zhao came out and said:

"Yuan sighed that this plan is wonderful, it is probably difficult to implement! The lord's sister married Liu Bei as his wife and was deeply loved by the old lady. She now lives in Jingzhou. If Zhuge Liang and others were in a hurry and use the life of the lord's sister as a threat, how could Mrs. Sun be willing to give up!"

Sun Quan was a filial son and did not dare to go against his mother's instructions. He hesitated and asked Zhang Zhao:

"When will Jingxiang get this opportunity be lost? How can Zibu teach me?"

Zhang Zhao became a studious student when he was young and was good at official script. When he became an adult, he was recommended as a filial and honest person, but he refused to accept it because his studies were not considered as a result.

When Sun Ce started his business, Zhang Zhaoren was middle-aged and believed that he had a successful academic career. He accepted Sun Ce's recruitment and was appointed as the chief secretary, the rank of the army's rank, and the civil and military affairs of the rear were appointed to Zhang Zhao.

Before Sun Ce died, he entrusted his brother Sun Quan to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao led his staff to assist Sun Quan, appease the people, attack the rebels, and help Sun Quan stabilize the situation.

During the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao was the leader of the surrender faction and confronted Zhou Yu and Lu Su, but after Sun Quan decided to go to war with Cao Cao, he did not drag him down and the supply of food, grass and military funds was very timely.

After the great victory of Chibi, it did not affect Zhang Zhao's position in Sun Quan's mind. He trusted him very much and firmly ranked first among civil servants.

Zhang Zhao was old and naturally did not want to participate in Sun Quan's family affairs. He and Lu Su have never dealt with each other. After pondering for a while, he decided to hand over the hot potato to Lu Su for treatment, and then replied:

"This is very easy. The lord can recall Lu Su. He has always been in charge of Jingzhou and has a close relationship with Zhuge Liang who is left behind in Jingzhou. Or he has a way to let the lord's sister return to Jiangdong, so the lord can let go and seek Jingzhou."

Sun Quan agreed deeply, and happened to have wanted to hear the opinions of his confidant general Lu Meng, so he sent an envoy to Lukou and summoned Lu Su and Lu Meng to come together to ask for advice.

Lu Su was loyal and honest, insisted on refusing to rebel against the alliance, and did not agree with Zhang Zhao's opinion, but he agreed to Sun Quan that after Liu Bei occupied Xichuan, he personally went back to Jiangling.

Sun Quan was a little disappointed, but as the master, even if he wanted to do something to betray the alliance, he would not speak up by himself. He left Lu Meng to discuss and asked Lu Su to return to Lukou himself to inquire about Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan.

Lu Meng had already had an idea in his mind. At the beginning, because Lu Su was present, he was not good at speaking casually as a subordinate. When Sun Quan asked alone, he had no scruples and offered advice to Sun Quan:

"Lord, it's not difficult to get the princess back. But he didn't have a confidant general who only brought five hundred troops to Jingzhou and wrote a secret letter to the princess, saying that the country was too critically ill and wanted to see his daughter, so he returned to Jiangdong in Jiangye. Liu Bei had only one son in his life, and now he was raised by the princess, so he could bring them together. At that time, Liu Bei decided to exchange Jingzhou for Adou. If it were not the case, what's wrong with just using a soldier?"

Lu Meng said with joy. Sun Quan was so happy that he was filled with joy and praised Lu Meng:

"Zi Ming's plan is great! I have a family general named Zhou and Shan. I grew up in the mansion since I was a child. I practiced martial arts with my brother Sun Ce. I have practiced martial arts well and had the most courage! I also have the ability to travel through houses and houses. In the past, I followed my brother Sun Ce to fight in various places. I used to do secret matters and make more contributions. I am the right person to go to Jingzhou."

Although Lu Meng was deeply loved by Sun Quan, he did not want to offend Lu Su, so he said to Sun Quan:

"Lord, this matter needs to be carried out in secret. Governor Lu must not be known. He has a close relationship with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Once the news is revealed, it will be a big problem. I will go back first and arrange the ship secretly, just wait for the lord to call it."

So, Sun Quan secretly sent Zhou Shan to lead 500 elite soldiers, first to Lu Meng, pretended to be a merchant, and took five merchant ships, with weapons hidden in the cargo warehouse on the ship, and headed to Jingzhou.

Lu Meng thought carefully. In addition to preparing all the business procedures, he also forged a letter from Mrs. Wu to deal with the Jingzhou army's interrogation.

Zhou Shan had always been in the army. After Sun Ce died, he served as the commander of the Sun Quan mansion and trained the existing five hundred guards without having to choose other subordinates. After receiving the order, he soon made a journey and came from the Jingzhou waterway.
