Seeing how excited Sun Quan was, Lu Su smiled.
"Haha, that's right!"
Hearing this, Sun Quan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Due to the news of the death of Zhang Zhao and the others, the impact on him was too great, causing him to momentarily forget that he still had an ally behind him.
Liu Bei.
However, Sun Quan also knew that Liu Bei did not sincerely want to form an alliance with him.
Thus, it would not be so easy to make Liu Bei his ally in this war.
"Zijing, what you said just now was the finishing touch, enlightening me."
"But you also know that this big-eared Liu is a hypocrite who pretends to be righteous."
"Now that Jiangdong is facing a catastrophe, will he really help us?"
Hearing this, Lu Su smiled again.
Of course, he knew that Liu Bei did not sincerely want to help Jiangdong.
However, he believed that at this time, Liu Bei was still trustworthy.
"My Lord, I've already considered all of this before."
"To be honest, Liu Bei is now much stronger than us."
"But without our help, this guy will be destroyed by Cao Cao in the north sooner or later."
"So this time, we can try to cooperate with Liu Bei."
Sun Quan pondered for a moment, then continued.
"Cooperation, how?"
Yes, how could they cooperate with Liu Bei, the big-eared thief?
After all, the former was no longer the Imperial Uncle Liu, who sold shoes and woven mats, but the ruler of Jingzhou.
It was difficult for them to cooperate with such a person.
At this moment, Lu Su's right-hand general, Lu Meng, suddenly stepped forward.
"My Lord, this one has a plan to make Liu Bei and his group obediently help us, and they will not play any tricks."
Hearing this, Sun Quan's face showed a trace of surprise.
Lu Meng was once Zhou Yu's right-hand man.
After Zhou Yu's death, he became Lu Su's student.
His overall strength was not bad in Jiangdong. At the same time, he was also one of the candidates for the next Governor of Jiangdong.
Now that he was so confident, he might as well let him speak.
"Oh? Lu Meng, what brilliant plan do you have? "
"Let's talk about it for now."
Lu Meng nodded.
"My lord, we can hold a banquet and invite Liu Bei here."
"While Liu Bei is enjoying himself, tie him up and keep him here."
"In this way, not only can we prevent Liu Bei's subordinates from acting rashly, we can also force them to help us."
"My lord, this is the best of both worlds!"
Lu Meng was very confident in his plan. Even in the face of Sun Quan's questioning gaze, he did not show any emotion.
This was not only because he was Lu Su's student, but also because he had the confidence of a genius.
If not for this, in history, Guan Yu would not have died at his hands.
Not only that, the other generals also felt that this plan was feasible, so they all spoke to Sun Quan.
"My lord, I think that General Lu's plan is feasible. We can give it a try."
"Me too. As long as we successfully take Liu Bei hostage, we don't have to worry about those fellows suddenly turning on us."
"Hahaha, let's do it this way!"
Sun Quan chose to ignore the cries of the generals.
Most of these fellows did not know how to use their brains. They only knew how to charge forward.
Of course, this could also be due to years of war.
Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng and asked.
"Lu Meng, you just said that you want us to hold a banquet and then take Liu Bei hostage at the banquet."
"To tell the truth, while this is an insult to the dignity of Jiangdong, under these cruel conditions, there's no need to care about dignity."
"I've decided that we'll do as Lu Meng says. We'll hold a banquet and take Liu Bei hostage!"
Sun Quan's stance was very firm. It seemed that he was very satisfied with Lu Meng's performance.
But when one thought about it, as long as they captured Liu Bei, no one, not even the Five-Tiger Generals or Wolong Phoenixes, would dare to act rashly.
After all, no matter how strong they were, they were still subjects.
As for Liu Bei, no matter how weak he was, he was still a king.
This was the difference between them!
Lu Meng's plan received the support of the vast majority of the people.
Whether it was the generals who only knew how to charge forward or the scholarly officials of Jiangdong, they all approved of this plan.
"Wonderful! We can finally bring our soldiers back to Jiangdong and attack Bai Feng."
"We must avenge Lord Zhang Zhao, Generals Cheng Pu and Han Dang!"
"That's right! If we don't avenge them, we're not human!"
The cries of the officials of Jiangdong echoed through the tent, threatening to break through the roof.
Of course, they had endured so much humiliation, and now that they could finally take revenge, how could they not be excited?
But just as everyone was rejoicing, Lu Su suddenly said loudly, "Don't worry.
"Reporting to Master, we might be able to do it this time, but we must pay attention to the method."
These words were extremely abrupt in the large tent that was filled with cheers. In an instant, all the voices were suppressed.
In just a moment, the tent was completely silent, leaving only the gazes of the crowd that were directed at Lu Su.
Sun Quan was also somewhat embarrassed by this scene. He softly coughed.
"Ahem, Zijing, just now, you said that we must pay attention to the method. What did you mean?"
Lu Su was the Viceroy of Jiangdong, and Sun Quan could not ignore his opinion.
Moreover, he was Lu Meng's teacher.
If even his student was this talented, his teacher could not be weak.
Lu Su glanced at the confused Lu Meng, then turned to Sun Quan.
"Master, although Lu Meng's plan is feasible, it is also very risky.
"If we forcefully detain Liu Bei, not only will those fellows not help us, they will also push us into dire straits.
"You must know that if they are truly angry, even holding Liu Bei hostage will not save us."
Lu Su's words caused Sun Quan to fall into deep thought.
Soon, his brow furrowed even tighter.
At this moment, Sun Quan realized that if they really did hold Liu Bei hostage, the consequences would be even more severe.
He threw these thoughts to the back of his mind and turned to Lu Su.
"What you said just now makes sense. Since that is the case, what plan does Zijing have?"
As the Marquis of Wu, Sun Quan understood Viceroy Lu Su very well.
If he did not have a plan of his own, he would not have spoken so easily.
If he spoke without thinking about the consequences, wouldn't it lower the prestige of Jiangdong's Viceroy?
Lu Su stepped forward and slowly spoke.
"Master wants to hold Liu Bei hostage at the banquet. I agree.
"And I believe that this is the only way we can save ourselves."
