At this moment, in Wu County, Jiangdong.
It took Sun Quan an entire month to restore the order of the court that Yu Ji had previously destroyed.
The Ministers also finally came to their senses. Their lord seemed to have returned to normal.
This made all the people and ministers in Jiangdong heave a sigh of relief.
"Zijing, you said that Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang had come to Dongyue Wu?"
At this moment, Sun Quan was sitting with Lu Su and sipping tea.
Lu Su couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, you're finally awake."
"Some time ago, these two people did come to Dongyue Wu, but my lord wanted to kill them. Fortunately, my lord didn't do so."
"Otherwise, the Sun-Liu Alliance would definitely dissipate."
"With Cao Cao's current power, it would be as easy as flipping his hand if he wanted to attack any one of us."
"Only by combining our two forces and slowly resisting Cao Cao's invasion is the best plan."
Although Lu Su saw that Sun Quan seemed to have regained consciousness, he still probed carefully.
After all, Sun Quan had killed three old ministers of Dongyue Wu, which had almost caused the entire Jiangdong to collapse.
Fortunately, Sun Quan had finally resolved this matter properly through the method of checks and balances.
Otherwise, Jiangdong might not have been able to recover even now.
After all, the entire Jiangdong was formed by the various clans.
Once one side was created,
If it collapsed and couldn't be checked and balanced, the consequences would undoubtedly be huge and tragic.
Once the clans no longer listened to the Sun family's orders, the entire Jiangdong would become what it was before Sun Jian unified Jiangdong.
The clans were in a chaotic war, and the people of Jiangdong had no way of making a living.
Back then, Lu Su had listened to Zhou Yu's plan and followed Sun Ce to rise up. It was to prevent Jiangdong from being tortured like this.
Sun Quan frowned and said.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Zijing."
"If it weren't for Zijing, I'm afraid I would have made a huge mistake!"
"On behalf of all the people of Jiangdong, I propose a toast to you!"
After that, Sun Quan drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.
Sun Quan did not like to drink, mainly because of his physical condition. He was very resistant to alcohol.
Lu Su was very clear on this point. He quickly stood up and said, "I'm sorry.
"My Lord, you mustn't!"
"I was forced to do this because I had no other choice."
"Today, my lord didn't punish me for letting Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong go in secret. I'm already terrified."
"My lord, please don't say that."
Sun Quan chuckled.
"Zijing is a kind person after all."
"However, what did these two people say?"
Lu Su said respectfully.
"These two people came this time to find a way out for Jiangdong and the Liu Bei Army."
"Oh? A way out? "
Sun Quan didn't know anything about the events of the past few days. When he heard Lu Su say this, he couldn't help but be curious.
Lu Su nodded heavily.
"Yes, a way out."
"This way out is to march to the south and defeat the foreign tribes in the south. This is the only way out for us."
"Cao Cao is now at the peak of his power. I heard that he found some kind of immortal grain seed. Now, Cao Cao's provinces and prefectures have a lot of food."
"If that's the case, the advantage of Jiangdong and Jingzhou's vast territory and abundant resources will no longer exist."
"Given the number of provinces and prefectures under Cao Cao and the strength of his army, even if the two of them join forces, they may not be able to resist."
"Therefore, Zhuge Liang came up with this plan."
Hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan finally understood. He couldn't help but frown.
"So that's how it is."
"Zhuge Liang means to attack the foreign tribes, take over the territory outside the Central Plains, and then expand our territory to fight the Cao Army?"
"Even if we lose, we can still withdraw from the Central Plains and conserve our strength?"
It had to be said that as the current ruler of Jiangdong, Sun Quan was still very rational.
He could immediately guess this when he heard Zhuge Liang's words from Lu Su.
Lu Su smiled.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking."
"This subject has thought about it for a long time. If we do this, it will be of great benefit to Jiangdong!"
"Cao Cao seems to be conserving his strength, like a turtle hiding in its shell. He hasn't made any big moves."
"Therefore, we can't just sit and wait with him. If we do, we'll just be sitting there and waiting for death."
"Therefore, this plan can be used!"
Sun Quan rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.
"Zijing's words are reasonable."
"Since that's the case, this Solitude won't wait any longer."
"Starting tomorrow, gather our Jiangdong Navy and march south. We'll start with Shanyue!"
Lu Su immediately said excitedly.
"My lord is wise! This subject will immediately make the arrangements! "
After all, even though Sun Quan was the one making the decision, the current Viceroy of Jiangdong was still Lu Su.
Lu Su had to personally handle this matter.
Apart from Lu Xun and Lu Meng, who had been sent to northern Jingzhou to support Liu Bei and prevent Cao Cao from launching a surprise attack, most of the other generals in Jiangdong were still in Jiangdong.
Moreover, they were all scattered across the various provinces, constantly training their soldiers.
Soldiers were trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment.
It was time to set out.
Moreover, Sun Quan's decision was also very rational.
Attacking Shanyue was the simplest and most effective method, and it would also bring the most benefits to Jiangdong.
Shanyue was a tribe located in the southwest of Jiangdong.
They were not ordinary foreign tribes. They were very powerful and occupied most of the mountain range.
However, there was very little land in the mountain range that could be used for planting. They had a large population, and there was simply no food supply.
Therefore, they would occasionally descend the mountain to commit all sorts of crimes.
Yuzhang, which was closest to Shanyue, suffered greatly.
Governor Tai Shici had been sending troops to fight Shanyue for many years.
However, Shanyue's attacks covered too many areas. No one could predict where they would focus their attacks on next.
Tai Shici had many troops under his command, but they could not fight Shanyue like this.
Therefore, the people of Yuzhang were suffering greatly.
Attacking Shanyue would not only protect Yuzhang, but it would also benefit the entire Jiangdong.
After all, the Shanyue did not only attack Yuzhang, but they would also sometimes bypass Yuzhang to rob the people of other villages.
Shanyue could be said to be the Xiongnu of the south.
They were extremely cruel to the people of the Central Plains. Not only did they rob money and food, but they also robbed women and killed children.
However, Sun Quan was struggling to fight against Cao Cao, so it was difficult for him to attack Shanyue.
Now that Cao Cao was not making any moves, he could use this opportunity to take down Shanyue.
He could solve this huge problem in Jiangdong.
After listening to Sun Quan's instructions, Lu Su hurriedly set off.
However, Jiangdong still needed some time to gather its troops.
Moreover, attacking Shanyue was not a matter of blindly sending troops.
After all, the Shanyue had rich combat experience and were extremely cunning.
