Sun Yi turned around, looked at the sand table, and looked at the winding Yangtze River between the mountains, frowned slightly.

Wushan is the city wall of Yizhou, and the Yangtze River is the moat of Yizhou. The world is peaceful, but Yizhou is not down, all because of the danger of mountains and rivers. Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong attacked each other for several years, but they were unable to truly break through Yizhou. Gan Ning, known for his warlikeness, just tried it and gave up. Anyone with some common sense dared not act rashly.

Zhuge Liang designed and lured Cao Cao to attack, which became a rare opportunity. However, whether this opportunity could become a reality is not in his hands, but in Cao Cao's hands. From the perspective of military tactics, this itself is a passive situation.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang told Cao Ying that Sun Yi had a relative of a father-in-law and son-in-law with Cao Cao, this time he went to Ruyang to report his duties, and he was inevitably attacked, and he might even be transferred from the Jingchu War Zone, which was inconvenient to take Cao Ying with him. Zhuge Liang also told Cao Ying that if she could persuade Cao Cao to surrender, she would not only relieve Sun Yi's trap, but also make contributions to the world. Cao Cao might be able to follow Yuan Tan's story and split the land and enfeoff the country. If he leaned against the dangers of mountains and rivers and resisted stubbornly, he would inevitably die and destroy the country.

In order to urge Cao Ying to make up his mind, Zhuge Liang also described the situation. In addition to the existing Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci went south and Lu Su advanced westward. With Sun Yi, there are now five troops besieging Yizhou. No matter how dangerous Yizhou is, it will be conquered sooner or later. The reason why the emperor did not order a strong attack was not that he could not, but that he was unwilling to do so. Once his patience was exhausted, he would inevitably fight in person. Even if Cao Cao surrendered, he would not have any good results.

All in all, this is the best opportunity and the last chance.

Not to mention Cao Ying, even Sun Yi was convinced by Zhuge Liang after reading the letter. I believe that after Cao Ying saw this letter, he would definitely write to Cao Cao and persuade him to surrender. Cao Cao might not surrender when he received the letter, but he would likely take risks. Because there was a pit buried in it, he was not only not in the Jingchu War Zone, but also possible to be transferred from the Jingchu War Zone.

Regardless of whether he will be transferred or who will be the successor, for Cao Cao, this is the best opportunity to take risks: the heroes in the Jingchu War Zone have no leader.

The truth and reality were real, and then he turned his hand and told Cao Cao through Cao Ying's mouth that the credibility increased greatly.

After reading this letter, Sun Yi remembered what the emperor brother said and secretly admired the emperor brother for knowing others. However, the emperor brother did not refuse his request in the end, which shows that he still has confidence in him. As long as he has his own opinions, don’t be deceived by Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, do you think Cao Cao will come?"

"It's hard to say, only 600% sure." Zhuge Liang stroked the newborn beard under his jaw and pondered for a moment. "If he didn't attack this time, he might really have plans to surrender. I heard that Your Majesty sent someone to Lumen Mountain to ask He Boqiu to come forward. He Boqiu is a party member and is always respected by Cao Cao, and he has the kindness of protecting Cao Ang. I think Cao Cao will obey it."

Li Tong couldn't help asking: "Military advisor, is Your Majesty really going to persuade Cao Cao to surrender? If so, wouldn't we be in vain?"

Zhuge Liang looked around and saw Jiang Qin also looking at him with suspicion. Only Pan Jun's face was calm and he couldn't help but laugh. "Chengming, what do you think?"

Pan Jun smiled and said lightly: "I can't guess what Your Majesty thinks. I only know that since Your Majesty asks us to prepare for war, we should prepare for war. It is better to prepare without war than to be unprepared."

Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed. "Chengming is reasonable. Your Majesty has your Majesty's arrangements. We have our responsibilities. You cannot relax your guard just because Your Majesty has the intention to persuade you to surrender. The way of civil and military affairs is to relax and relax, and the same is true for persuading surrender and conquest. If you do not have military preparations, it is difficult to achieve success in persuading surrender. It is a complementary process."

He knocked on the case lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's take a step back, if Your Majesty is sure of persuading surrender, he will not order us to wait. Instead, gathering troops to force Cao Cao to surrender. Since there is no, persuading surrender is just to do his best to do his best and leave the will of heaven. Your Majesty summoned the world's virtuous people to gather together in Ruyang to discuss politics. At this time, he did not want a great war to take place at this time. Compared with major events like managing the country and helping the people, Yizhou is really insignificant. Therefore, even if this war begins, the situation must be controlled in the Jingchu War Zone."

Zhuge Liang raised his head, looked at Sun Yi, and then at Li Tong and others. "Right Protector, Lords and Marquis, this is Your Majesty's trust in you."

Sun Yi nodded. "Kong Ming's words are reasonable. Your Majesty takes the initiative to cooperate with us. How trust is this? You and I cannot let you down."

Li Tong and Jiang Qin suddenly realized and looked at each other, and they felt a little embarrassed. After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, they realized that there were so many considerations in this, and it was definitely not as simple as beating or persuading surrender.

Pan Jun glanced at Zhuge Liang, and a strange look flashed between his eyebrows. He had his own opinion on the situation, but he just disdained to argue with Li Tong and Jiang Qin. But after listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, he had to admit that Zhuge Liang's analysis was more comprehensive and in-depth, and was beyond his reach.

After all, he is the one who grew up around His Majesty, and he has a better grasp of His Majesty's thoughts.

Zhuge Liang saw Pan Jun's eyes, but he remained silent. "Chengming, Gong Yan, Your Majesty summoned the virtuous and good people to discuss politics. Do you have any memorials?"

Pan Jun did not say anything, Jiang Wan said, "Do you plan to submit a memorial? You have been in charge of Chuzhou for several years and implemented the new policy. You must feel much deeper than us. If the military advisor is busy with military affairs and has no time to catch a pen, I can do it for the military advisor."

Zhuge Liang thought about it and nodded in agreement. He really didn't want to miss such a grand event. If he hadn't hoped to ambush Cao Cao, he would definitely have to rush to Ruyang this time. But now the military affairs are busy, and he doesn't even have time to write articles, let alone Ruyang. If Jiang Wan could help him write, it would be a solution.

At this time, he understood why the emperor asked him to choose one, either in politics or in the army. He was a little unwilling to do so at the beginning, but now that the emperor gave him a chance, he realized that it was too difficult to take care of both and had to ask for help.

Zhuge Liang and Sun Yi discussed military deployment, and arranged for people to contact Lou Gui to keep pace, and then they dispersed. He left Pan Jun and Jiang Wan, discussing the writing of articles with them. Sun Yi was not in the mood to listen to their details, and only planned to see the final result, so he went back to the account by himself.

Zhuge Liang sat opposite each other, took out a book and placed it in front of Jiang Wan. Pan Jun glanced at it and saw it was a "Salt and Iron Theory". He knew that this book was a masterpiece of economics co-authored by Pang Shanmin and Zao Zhi. Although it was a review of "Salt and Iron Theory", there were actually a large number of new theories in it, which were the beginning of the New Policy of the Great Wu. Anyone who is interested in economy and people's livelihood would read this book.

He and Jiang Wan were no exception. They also discussed the gains and losses of the book many times, and they were very familiar with the contents. It was really unnecessary for Zhuge Liang to take out this book so carefully.

Jiang Wan's mood was similar to Pan Jun, but he was soothing and there was no strangeness on his face. He picked up the book and opened it casually, but he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The book was full of annotations, which were written by Zhuge Liang. Every word was dignified, and the vermilion annotations contrasted with the ink color. It was brilliant and beautiful. There were also many notes in the book, which were also densely written, and there were traces of repeated deletion and modification.

"Is this... the military advisor's notes?" Although Jiang Wan was sure that those were all Zhuge Liang's handwriting, he was still surprised. Every time he saw Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was handling official duties. Why did he still have time to read and wrote so many annotations?

He might not have wanted to help Pang Shanmin re-ed up this book. Pang Shanmin is his brother-in-law, and this book is also a famous work by Pang Shanmin, which is not impossible.

"Most of them have been written before, and some have been written recently." Zhuge Liang took out a stack of books and newspapers and pushed them all in front of Jiang Wan. "These are the relevant information, official documents, and the announcements and financial situations I have collected over the years. You can take them together, and then draw up an outline for us to discuss them."

Jiang Wan was surprised when she looked at the stack of information in front of her. Pan Jun also looked surprised. They didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had done so much academic work when he was busy with military affairs and government affairs. This person's energy was too good. Did he not sleep?

Pan Jun didn't care about being reserved, and took several newspapers. He saw that all the articles on economics were annotated. Some agreed and some opposed it. Although there were not many words, every word was reasonable, which shows that it was not a general discussion.

Pan Jun looked through for a while and couldn't help but say, "The military advisor is really amazing. No wonder his Majesty gave Chuzhou to you before he was young, and then entrusted the Right Protector to you."

"Chengming, you can't say that." Zhuge Liang interrupted quickly. "Your Majesty ordered me to assist the Right Protector, instead of entrusting the Right Protector to me." He smiled and said, "Although the Right Protector is young and generous, he is definitely not the courage of an ordinary man. If you think he is at the mercy of others, you would be wrong. The Right Protector is the royal family that Your Majesty relies on. With His Majesty's wisdom in knowing people, how can you let them control them?"

Pan Jun was secretly surprised. He really didn't see anything extraordinary about Sun Yi besides Wu Yong. Is Zhuge Liang avoiding suspicion, or is Sun Yi wise and foolish? He looked at Zhuge Liang's eyes and smiled and said, "I heard that the right magistrate is like a military advisor, and has been with His Majesty for many years?"

"Yes." Zhuge Liang nodded. "But he and the Left Guardian are brothers and sisters, so they are naturally different from others. His Majesty has high expectations for them. As early as the third year of Chuping, he built the Guande Pavilion and asked Liu Chong to teach them the art of shooting. Zhang Zhao was also asked to be puzzled by them. Then he walked in the military plan and Guo Jijiu personally guided it. The Left Guardian was most appreciated by Guo Jijiu, and he had a formal teacher-student status. The Right Guardian had no teacher-student status when he was old, but he had learned a lot."

Zhuge Liang poured three glasses of water in person, pushed it to Pan Jun and Jiang Wan, picked up one, took a sip, moistening his voice. After talking for a long time just now, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Among your majesty's younger siblings, the left guardian has the highest talent, but the right guardian is the most like His Majesty. If you want to know what His Majesty was like when you left Shucheng, you will know that now. Your Majesty's natural awakening was the second year of Chuping, and he was seventeen years old, but the right guardian awakening was the sixth year of Chuping, and he was only twelve years old. Chengming, Gong Yan, and the right guardian will sooner or later fight overseas. His future is vast, and it is not easy to compare."

Zhuge Liang smiled. "If you two are worried about your hometown, just pretend I didn't say it."

When Pan Jun and Jiang Wan heard this, they looked at each other, smiled at each other at the same time, bowed to salute. "Thank you, the military advisor."
