In the middle of the banquet, most of the guests put down their bowls and chopsticks and chatted happily.
Lu Su suddenly asked Zhuge Liang with a serious expression.
"Kongming, what plans do you have for this?"
Zhuge Liang was the Hidden Dragon whose name shook the world. Naturally, his strength was unquestionable.
If he had come here without any preparations, Liu Bei wouldn't have visited him three times.
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang put down the wine cup in his hand and said slowly.
"The plan is very simple."
"Zijing, is Marquis Wu planning to return to Jiangdong to attack Bai Feng?"
Lu Su nodded.
"Yes, this Bai Feng has an irreconcilable enmity with Jiangdong! We must avenge this grudge! "
"Moreover, Bai Feng has just conquered Danyang and Huiji. His strength will be greatly reduced, so now is the best time for us to attack!"
Even Lu Su, who was usually calm and composed, could not help but be enraged when he mentioned Bai Feng's name.
After all, the former had dealt a huge blow to Jiangdong and was Jiangdong's eternal enemy!
Zhuge Liang could see the hatred in the eyes of Lu Su and the other Jiangdong officials.
"Zijing is right, but because of Li Yuanba and the others in Yuzhang, Marquis Wu hasn't made a move yet."
Lu Su and the other Jiangdong officials didn't deny this.
Given Zhuge Liang's intelligence, he would naturally be able to see through this.
He slowly got up and smiled.
"Haha, everyone, there is no need to worry. This time, my lord and I have brought ten thousand elite soldiers to deal with this matter."
"I will have Huang Zhong lead the soldiers to stop Li Yuanba and the others in the rear. All you need to do is focus on killing the enemy."
The moment he said this, the eyes of all the Jiangdong officials lit up.
Zhuge Liang's guess was right.
The reason why they hadn't made a move yet was because they were afraid that Li Yuanba would suddenly launch a sneak attack from behind, which would bring new trouble to them.
However, with Liu Bei's help, the outcome would be completely different.
However, Sun Quan and the others obviously wouldn't easily leave their backs to Liu Bei.
Although Lu Su was doubtful, he casually glanced at Sun Quan and said excitedly, "That's right.
"Kongming, are you serious?"
Zhuge Liang smiled but didn't say anything. He just nodded lightly.
Sun Quan smiled when he saw this. He stood up and bowed to Liu Bei again.
"Haha, Kongming is really smart. What a good plan!"
"Since that's the case, I'll have to thank Brother Xuande this time!"
Liu Bei also got up and returned the greeting with a smile.
Other than Huang Gai's sudden appearance in the middle of the conversation, the rest of the time was very happy and harmonious.
After that, the banquet quickly ended, and everyone slowly left.
… …
Late at night, a person suddenly walked into Sun Quan's tent.
Naturally, it was Governor Lu Su.
When Sun Quan saw Lu Su arrive, he gestured with his hand.
"Zijing, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Lu Su replied and found a place to sit down.
Although Sun Quan and Liu Bei had a great discussion during the banquet, Sun Quan and Liu Bei had a great time.
However, everyone knew that this was only on the surface.
Just as Lu Su had said, if he couldn't keep Liu Bei in his hands, this cooperation would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
As Marquis Wu, he had to consider all of Jiangdong, which was why he had called Lu Su over in the middle of the night.
Sun Quan looked at Lu Su under the light and said.
"Zijing, what do you think about today's matter?"
Ever since the deaths of Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, when Sun Quan couldn't make up his mind, he could only ask him this question.
Lu Su frowned and slowly said.
"Zhuge Liang chose to help us hold back the rear. It's clear that he doesn't trust us very much.
"Their ultimate goal is probably because they don't understand Bai Feng well enough and don't want a new figure to rise up and pose a threat to them.
"Thus, they would rather have us return to Jiangdong than see a new threat."
Lu Su's analysis was on point.
Although Liu Bei convinced others with his benevolence and righteousness, his ambition was no less than that of Cao Cao in the north.
In order to have a place in these troubled times, they had chosen to ally with Sun Quan.
But now, Bai Feng had suddenly appeared. This would clearly disrupt their future plans.
Sun Quan sighed and slowly said.
"Ah, I know all that you're saying.
"The key is, how should we hold Liu Bei in our hands now?"
For this cooperation, Liu Bei was obviously a key figure.
If he was hurt in this, the Sun-Liu alliance would definitely collapse immediately.
But if she didn't hold him hostage, then her back would be completely exposed to the eyes of others.
Either way, Sun Quan didn't want to see it happen.
Of course, Lu Su could see this, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Haha, my lord, don't worry, I have a plan. Can you listen?"
Hearing this, Sun Quan immediately became excited and hurriedly asked.
"Zijing, if you have a plan, hurry up and say it. This is a matter of urgency!"
Recently, Sun Quan had really been pressured by Bai Feng to the point that he had even lost his mind.
So now that he heard of a way to get rid of Bai Feng, he was often very excited.
Lu Su thought for a moment with a dignified expression and then said.
"Tomorrow, when discussing with Liu Bei about sending troops, let my lord and Liu Bei's carriage be next to each other and put them in the middle of the group."
"Zhuge Liang and I will lead the Jiangdong Army in the front and Huang Zhong will lead the Shu Army in the back. The middle is obviously the safest place."
"And during this, we also need to let Zhao Yun stay by Liu Bei's side. Only in this way can we completely eliminate their suspicions."
Liu Bei came here with Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong accompanying him. This in itself showed that he didn't trust Sun Quan.
And Sun Quan couldn't say anything. After all, living in a chaotic world, one had to be careful.
But now, they had to let Liu Bei let down his guard. Only then could they control him.
Otherwise, the two sides would constantly suspect each other, which was undoubtedly not good for their cooperation.
Sun Quan knew this and immediately nodded.
"Well … it seems like this is the only way now."
…
The next day.
In Sun Quan's main tent, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and the others were sitting there.
Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him and smiled.
"Haha, attacking Bai Feng together is no small matter. The safety of Royal Uncle Liu is undoubtedly the most important."
"Kongming, what do you think about this? You and I will lead the Jiangdong Army to open up a path at the front. Old General Huang Zhong will defend against Li Yuanba at the back."
"My lord and Royal Uncle Liu will be in the middle of the group. Let General Zilong protect the two of them."
Hearing this, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and the others were all moved.
The reality was just as Zhuge Liang expected. The people of Jiangdong still had to have Liu Bei in their hands to be at ease.
Although he cursed in his heart, Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and cheered.
"Haha, this is great!"
"Let the two lords walk in the safest position, and have Zilong to protect them. This can't be better!"
"Zijing, you're really good at hiding things. You can actually come up with such an excellent plan!"
Although Zhuge Liang's excited reaction made them frown, they still agreed in the end.
Sun Quan slowly stood up and said solemnly.
