This is bad! This is bad!
Zhuge Liang put down his feather fan and said to the guard in a deep voice, "Go and cross the river.
"Quickly cross the river and look for Milord. Inform Milord that Jiangdong is currently in chaos. The Sun Liu Alliance will most likely not succeed. Quickly prepare for the worst."
The guard was also stunned.
Zhuge Liang gave everyone the impression that he was a strategist who would remain calm even when faced with an enemy. But now, he actually had an anxious expression on his face.
Something big must have happened!
The guard did not dare to be careless. He quickly noted down Zhuge Liang's request and rushed out of the city without another word.
Zhuge Liang sat down on a stool and drank a cup of tea with his brows furrowed.
Lu Su leaving the city at this time was absolutely a situation that would only happen as a last resort!
Zhou Yu was definitely a suspect. If Lu Su left the city now, he would definitely be suspected of colluding with the enemy. When that time comes, Lu Su would be in danger.
With Lu Su's death, the alliance's plan would be ruined.
...
How could Lu Su not know this? But at this moment, he did not hesitate and urged his horse to charge towards Zhou Yu's camp with all his might.
Lu Su knew what kind of person Zhou Yu was. He had always been on good terms with Bo Fu. Before Sun Ce died, he had told him to protect Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu was a righteous and upright person. Although he was in Sun Ce and Da Qiao's faction, he would definitely not rebel!
If he rebelled now, it would be tantamount to handing over Jiangdong to Cao Cao!
What good would it do?
Zhou Yu was not stupid!
Right now, even if Lu Su was being accused of treason, he still had to find Zhou Yu and clear things up!
At this time, if no one stepped forward, Jiangdong would really be finished.
However, in order to defend against the Cao Army, the army had already set up camp at the frontlines. It would take at least two to three days for them to arrive.
During this time, Zhuge Liang became more and more uneasy.
Rumors spread everywhere. Although Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and the others tried to suppress the rumors, the effect was minimal.
Gossip was a fearful thing!
The common people were not like strategists who thought from many angles. Whenever there was a slight movement, it would spread among the common people.
For the past few days, Zhuge Liang had sent people to investigate and the results were the same.
The common people were all talking about the letter sent by Da Qiao.
Other than Sun Quan and the others, no one knew what Da Qiao's letter. Therefore, there were many strange rumors.
Some people said that after Da Qiao died, she turned into a ghost. Her resentment gathered into this letter and sent it to Sun Shao. She wanted to force Sun Quan to abdicate and let Sun Shao take over.
She also gave Zhou Yu a copy. She said that she wanted Zhou Yu to help Sun Shao rebel and force Sun Quan to hand over Jiangdong.
Hearing these rumors, Zhuge Liang had a headache, let alone Sun Quan.
However, Zhuge Liang knew that he could do nothing but worry. There was nothing he could do.
Even if he knew that this was a ploy by the Cao Army to sow discord, what could he do? He was not a person from Jiangdong. He was an outsider. Who would believe the words of an outsider?
At that time, what if people said that Sun Quan did not want to join the alliance and that he was an accomplice of Zhou Yu's rebellion?
There was no better way at the moment. Zhuge Liang could only pray that Jiangdong could survive this.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Yu was now known as the guardian of Jiangdong. He did not mention a word about Sun Quan.
In the past few days in Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang could clearly see that the common people supported Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was talented and capable. He was good at commanding and strategizing. Moreover, he was valiant and heroic. He was the perfect hero in the eyes of the common people.
However, Sun Quan was the lord and Zhou Yu was the servant!
Since ancient times, what had happened to those who had more merit than their lord?
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang's expression became more and more unsightly.
When he fought with Bai Feng before, Zhuge Liang admitted that Bai Feng did know how to use some tricks to win by surprise.
However, it was only a small trick. If they fought again, Zhuge Liang was confident that he would not lose to him again.
However, the current situation in Jiangdong changed Zhuge Liang's thoughts.
This Bai Feng was definitely not that simple. He was not someone to be trifled with!
It looked like a clumsy plan to sow discord, but it could not be broken. Moreover, it was powerful and murderous.
The bustling Jiangdong when they first arrived was now deserted. No one dared to walk on the streets.
This was because everyone knew that the situation in Jiangdong was about to change. Even if the Cao Army did not come, Dong Yue Wu would definitely have an internal war.
At this moment, everyone was in danger.
"Is this all you've got?"
Zhuge Liang looked at the stars in the sky and muttered to himself.
...
At this moment, at the frontlines in Jiangdong.
"Zijing!"
Zhou Yu waved his hand in annoyance and said in a low voice,
"Others don't believe me, but you, Lu Zijing, don't believe me too?!"
Lu Su hurriedly waved his hand and said with a bitter face,
"Gongjin! If I didn't believe you, why would I take such a huge risk to come find you?! "
Zhou Yu sighed and said,
"I really didn't receive any letters. This is simply nonsense!"
Lu Su moved closer and continued,
"I believe you, but whether you received the letter or not, you should return to the capital now and give an explanation to the Lord and the officials of Jiangdong!"
"Even if the Lord has absolute trust in you, what about the officials? Who can guarantee what they will think? "
"What they are thinking right now is that you are suspected of treason! If you, Zhou Gongjin, want to rebel, there will be rivers of blood in Jiangdong. Everyone will be in danger! "
Zhou Yu waved his hand impatiently and said with a cold smile,
"Does the Lord not know how I, Zhou Gongjin, am doing in Jiangdong? How can the officials not know? Do you think Jiangdong will become a pot of porridge because of a few malicious rumors? "
"The matter you told me is a child's play. Anyone can see through it. Do you think the Lord can't see through it?"
"Resisting Cao Cao is the most important thing right now. We should be training the soldiers and preparing them for battle. You want me to return to the capital?"
Lu Su was about to go crazy.
This Zhou Gongjin was good in every way, but he was too stubborn and conceited.
He didn't understand what it meant to kill with a blade. Only rumors could destroy the heart!
Lu Su hurriedly continued,
"Gongjin! Trust me this time! "
"This scheme was planned by a strategist under Cao Cao, surnamed Bai. Kongming fought with him before and was defeated in Xinye. He almost couldn't return to Jiangxia."
"You mustn't take it lightly!"
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this and didn't answer Lu Su. Lu Su was overjoyed.
"Gongjin, have you thought it through?"
Zhou Yu sneered and said,
"Strategist Bai, you have already told me more than ten times. If he is really so powerful, wouldn't he be famous all over the world? I have never heard of this person! "
"That Zhuge Kongming was defeated by a nobody. This only means that his title of Hidden Dragon is undeserved. What else can it mean?"
