"Wu Hou, don't worry. We've already thought of a countermeasure."
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.
"Although those tribes might collude with each other, as long as we don't send a large number of people, just a few thousand in a group, to attack one of the tribes."
"This way, even if that tribe is in danger, the other tribes will definitely choose to sit by and watch."
"After all, why didn't the leaders of these tribes unite and instead split into so many smaller tribes? They must have their own selfish motives."
"The best plan is to take them out one by one."
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Sun Quan immediately narrowed his eyes and began to think.
If that was the case, it might actually work!
The nature of those foreign tribes was to think for themselves.
The life and death of the surrounding tribes had nothing to do with them.
As long as there were only a few thousand or ten thousand soldiers, these tribes wouldn't consider them a big threat.
By the time they were taken out one by one, it would be too late for them to react.
"As expected of the Hidden Dragon. Truly amazing."
Sun Quan stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled.
The three continued to talk. Since they had already confirmed that Zhuge Liang wasn't here to ask for Jiaozhou, Sun Quan simply ordered the Jiangdong soldiers on the streets to withdraw.
After all, as long as Jiaozhou wasn't involved, Liu Bei would still be an ally to him and wouldn't threaten his interests.
Soon, Sun Quan agreed with Zhuge Liang's suggestion.
Attack the south and accumulate more people and resources!
Only by doing this could he ensure that even if Cao Cao took Jingzhou, he would still have a way out.
Zhuge Liang gradually changed the concept and had Sun Quan send out troops. Then, Jingzhou would also send reinforcements.
As for the territory they took, Jiangdong and Jingzhou would be split evenly.
Sun Quan also didn't want to be alone, so he quickly agreed.
After all, this matter would only benefit him and not harm him.
Soon, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong completed their mission and headed to the relay station.
After all, it was already late and the Yangtze River was extremely turbulent, so it was not convenient for the two of them to go back.
On the way back to the relay station, the two of them realized that the streets were once again bustling with noise. It was completely different from the previously deserted atmosphere.
After returning to the relay station, Pang Tong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Kongming, I feel that something is not right. Did Sun Quan really agree so readily?"
Although he said that, since he could get Sun Quan's approval, this matter was basically a success.
Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with this."
"Wu Hou has chosen to believe in us, which means that he feels that this is necessary."
"Our mission can be considered completed."
"Next, we should return to Jingzhou as soon as possible. This Sun Quan might do something unimaginable."
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Pang Tong couldn't help but nod heavily.
This Sun Quan had blue eyes and a red beard. No matter how one looked at him, he was an extremely shrewd person.
If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of knocking on the door of the relay station.
"Who is it?"
Zhuge Liang asked cautiously.
For some reason, Zhuge Liang had a bad premonition after setting foot in Jiangdong this time.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Is it Kongming? I am Zi Jing. "
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly opened the door.
Sure enough, it was Lu Su standing outside the door!
"Zi Jing? Weren't you sick these days and went home to rest? "
Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Su in surprise.
Looking at Lu Su's lively appearance, he didn't look like he was seriously ill.
His face was rosy and his forehead was full.
It was obvious that this was normal.
Lu Su looked around, then quickly entered the room and closed the door.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I just said that I was sick."
"How is it? The Lord didn't make things difficult for you, right? "
Zhuge Liang nodded.
"No, the two of us just came to discuss joining hands to attack the foreign tribes in the southern region of Jiao Province."
Hearing this, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that so? That's good. "
Although Zhuge Liang had already guessed the general situation, he still asked.
"Zi Jing, what happened?"
Lu Su couldn't help but sigh.
"When the Lord heard that the two of you were coming, he thought that the two of you were here to ask for Jingzhou."
"He immediately flew into a rage and shouted that he would break the Sun-Liu Alliance if that was the case."
"I tried my best to dissuade him, but not only did the Lord not listen, he also said that I was sick and should go home to rest."
Hearing Lu Su's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Sure enough, it was exactly as he thought!
He didn't expect that the Sun Quan would be so cautious about this matter. He didn't even hesitate to break the Sun-Liu Alliance to take Jiao Province for himself.
Lu Su sighed.
"Since the two of you are not here to ask for Jiao Province, you should leave as soon as possible."
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The two of us came from Jingzhou and hurriedly came to discuss as soon as we got off the ship. It's better for us to rest and leave."
Lu Su shook his head.
"I'm doing this for the two of you."
"The longer you stay in Jiangdong, the more danger you will be in."
"I don't know what's wrong with the Lord these days. He's been moody and has already killed two old officials."
"Right now, the entire imperial court is in a state of panic."
"No matter how I try to persuade him, the Lord doesn't seem to hear."
"For now, it's better to avoid him."
"If the two of you get hurt because of this, it will affect the Sun Liu Army."
Hearing Lu Su's words, Pang Tong couldn't help but frown.
"What?"
"Why did it become like this?"
Lu Su shook his head helplessly.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be so worried."
"For now, it's better to avoid suspicion."
With that, Lu Su turned and left.
He couldn't stay at the relay station for too long.
There were bound to be Sun Quan's spies around here. He also came here cautiously. If he was discovered for too long, he would probably be in danger.
This time, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were stunned.
What was going on?
Although they knew that Sun Quan wasn't a wise Lord, he couldn't do this, right?
More than half of Jiangdong's officials were old officials.
If he killed these old officials, it would definitely make the other old officials bitterly disappointed.
Moreover, according to Lu Su, it was all because of some small matter.
If that was the case, wouldn't Sun Quan be looking for trouble?
If that was the case, Jiangdong would be finished sooner or later.
Although the two of them didn't understand, they still made up their minds.
Leave Jiangdong.
Moreover, they had to leave Jiangdong overnight!
Lu Su was originally from Jiangdong. There was no reason for him to tell them about Sun Quan's thoughts.
