Zhuge Liang spoke eloquently.

Young Jiang Wan thought for a moment and came to a clear understanding.

"Are the military advisors worried that once Lu Su passes away, the Sun family in Jiangdong will tear up the alliance and wait for an opportunity to attack Jingzhou again like they did two years ago?"

He raised his hands and asked.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at him with kind eyes and nodded gently to show his agreement: "What Gong Yan said is right, and this move is what I have always been worried about!"

"However, Jiangdong may not break the alliance for a while, but without Lu Zijing to mediate and maintain the relationship between General Jingzhou Guan and Wu Jun, I am afraid that the Sun family will have the ambition to conquer Jingzhou."

Having said this, his thoughts seemed to have wandered far away for a long time, and he said from a distance: "Recall that when the king asked me about the affairs of the world in Longzhong, I proposed to the king a strategic layout of three parts of the world. "

"Their strategic posture is roughly to take Jingzhou as its home first, establish its foundation in Yizhou, then protect its rocks from the outside, make peace with the Rong in the west, pacify the Yi and Yue in the south, make good friends with Sun Quan in the east, and amend Li Li internally."

"When there is a change in the world, Jing and Yi prefectures will send troops to invade the Central Plains at the same time in order to restore the Han Dynasty."

The words slowly came to this point, and the young man Jiang Wan on the side listened very carefully.

Jiang Wan also admired Zhuge's talent and learning very much!

He was originally appointed as the county magistrate of Guangdu after entering Shu, but he angered Liu Bei for ignoring political affairs and was dismissed from his official position. He was saved from death only because of Zhuge Liang's persuasion.

When Jiang Wan heard about this, he undoubtedly felt more grateful and even respected towards Military Advisor Zhuge from the bottom of his heart.

And because Zhao was leading the southern expedition and appointed Ma Di as a staff officer, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and took Jiang Wan, who had been dismissed from office, into his side to train him carefully.

In the past two years, he has indeed learned a lot from the knowledgeable Zhuge Liang.

In fact, if the original historical development were followed, and without Zhao Tong's sudden attack on love, Jiang Wan would have had to wait for more than ten years to be favored by Marquis Wu.

The reason is that in original history, at least before the first Northern Expedition, Prime Minister Zhuge focused on cultivating Ma Di as his successor. However, after he was greatly disappointed in the Jieting battle, he chose Jiang Wan again. nourish.

And when he died of a serious illness, he was designated as his successor.

Currently, in Jiang Wan's view, Military Advisor Zhuge is the great benefactor in his life. Not only did he exonerate him, but he also took him under his sect and taught him carefully.

Then he also came up with the idea of ​​​​"willing to share the worries of the military advisor".

I also studied extremely hard during this period.

After finishing his words, Zhuge Liang suddenly paused between words, his expression also changed slightly, and he seemed to continue speaking in a sad tone:

"At that time, I felt that the Cao family monopolized the northern land, and the Sun and Liu families could only fight against it by joining forces."

"But since the eve of Red Cliff, I followed Lu Zijing across the Yangtze River to Wudi. After meeting the officials from Jiangdong, I have become pessimistic about the alliance between the two families."

"Military advisor, what do you say?"

Jiang Wan also noticed the change of expression on his face at the right time, and he raised his hand and asked.

"There are many factions among the ministers under Sun's command, and they can be roughly divided into three major factions. One of them is the radical military commander faction headed by the late Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin."

"They are not keen on joining forces with us, but they always want to win alone. The two states will be divided into north and south, and they want to dominate the country alone."

"The second faction is the stability-maintaining faction headed by Zhang Zhao, a local wealthy family in Jiangdong. They are not keen on expanding their territory and only want to stick to this small corner of Jiangdong."

"The second one is the moderate group led by Lu Su. Zijing's strategic view of the overall situation is extraordinary. He can clearly see the world's current situation."

"He knew in his heart that with the current situation of a tripartite confrontation, the Ruosun and Liu families were fighting over Jingzhou. No matter which side won in the end, it would only be internal friction and would benefit the Cao family."

"Therefore, this is also the intuitive factor why Zijing has been working hard to maintain the alliance between our two families for many years."

"Now that Zijing is not around, I'm afraid Sun will have a different heart again!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Jiang Wan thought for a moment and then suddenly said: "Oh, Wan understands. Is the military advisor worried that radical generals like Lu Meng will rise to power?"

"That's what I'm worried about."

At this time, Zhuge Liang's expression returned to his usual calmness, and he responded gently.

Two years ago, after Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to Chengdu to return to Jingzhou but was rejected, he became so angry that he directly sent Lu Meng's troops to sneak attack the three counties of Jingnan.

Although the two sides finally reached a peace agreement again.

But afterwards, they also learned the news. Before Sun Quan launched the war, Lu Su had traveled all night to his master's residence to explain it to him and warned him emotionally about what would happen if Sun Quan went to war.

Disadvantages.

"The military advisor's concerns are not completely unfounded."

Jiang Wan then nodded and agreed, "I heard that Lu Meng, like Zhou Yu back then, deeply coveted the land of Jingzhou."

"If it is true that he took over Lukou as governor of Lusu and responded to the affairs, I am afraid that the eastern part of Jingzhou will never be peaceful in the future!"

Jiang Wan was also somewhat aware of the character of Guan Yu, who was currently in charge of Jingzhou. He knew that General Guan had a strong character, and Lu Meng always coveted Jingzhou.

If these two were neighbors, they would interact with each other every day.

If there is no friction, that’s not normal!

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words just now, he also realized clearly that the reason why the two families had been able to join forces to fight against Cao in a relatively peaceful manner over the past few years was entirely due to Lu Su's mediation and mediation.

Now that he has passed away, it is indeed a test for the relationship between the two families.

…

And on the Jiangdong side.

Stone City【Jianye】.

After a grand memorial ceremony was held for Lu Su's funeral and he was buried, Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, had the energy to summon Lu Su's subordinates to his palace.

In the Wuhou Mansion,

Sun Quan was sitting upright in the main seat, wearing a formal brocade robe. The calm smile on his face could not tell whether he was still sad at the moment.

"You said before that Zi Jing entrusted you with something to give to the orphan before his death."

"Now that Zijing has been buried, take it out!"

Sun Quan said in an extremely tone.

Hearing this, the general at the bottom of the stairs did not dare to be negligent, and quickly took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the guard next to him, and explained:

"This letter was written by the governor himself before he died."

"He told me in thousands of words at that time that I must hand it over to you, my lord, after he dies of illness."

After he finished speaking, the guard also handed it over. Sun Quan reached out and took it, slowly opened the letter and took out a letter that had been sealed for a long time.

The first sentence between the lines is, "The Lord Wu is above, these are words from the bottom of my heart, I hope my lord will express my gratitude!"

After reading the first sentence, Sun Quan's heart was suddenly touched. He raised his head and waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand, please step back first!"

"If anything happens, I'll be there for you."

"As you command!"

After the order was passed down, the generals also quickly handed over their hands and accepted the order to retreat.

He had served Lu Su for many years and knew that his governor had always been calm and capable in his work.

Since this is a suicide note, the content in the letter must be very important!
