Chapter 660 Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin (two chapters in one)(1/2)
"General, our troops and Liu Bei's troops fought in the fort area, and Sima Jun was defeated!"
"Accelerate the march!"
When Le Yi heard that Liu Bei was also coming to plunder Zhuge, he immediately ordered the marches to speed up.
If the Zhuge family members fall into Liu Bei's hands, Liu Bei will have a group of advisers to help and may still compete for the Central Plains.
Guan Yu defeated Sima Ju and killed more than 2,000 people. Sima Ju was defeated like a mountain.
"The last general was defeated by Guan Yu, Guan Yu cannot be brave, and the last general is not the opponent."
Sima Ju apologized to Guan Hai.
Guan Hai heard that Guan Yu was here, so he couldn't help but be timid.
Guan Yu can defeat Guan Hai for dozens of rounds, or even kill Guan Hai.
If Sima lost to Guan Yu, then it is understandable, because Guan Hai is here and the outcome is the same.
Fortunately, Le Yi and Guan Hai acted together to fight with Guan Yu's soldiers.
Le Yi and Liu Bei occupied the north and south of the fort respectively, and the two armies faced each other.
Both forces came for the Zhuge clan of Langya.
The choice is in the hands of Zhuge, Langya.
Zhuge Xuan summoned the clan members to discuss and decide the major events of the rise and fall of the clan.
"On one side are Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are famous for their benevolence and righteousness, but they lack military advisors. They recruited Ziyu and you to serve as military advisors, and Kong Ming was also recruited as a reserve military advisor. They were eager to seek talent. If you surrender to Liu Bei, you can be the leader of the phoenix, but you can seek wealth and honor in danger."
"On the other side is Xu Tian, who is powerful, with many powerful generals and talents. If he surrenders to Xu Tian, he may be highly valued, but his status may not be so high."
"You can also try to go to Jingzhou to place my tribesmen with my status in Liu Biao, and you can also be reused."
The Zhuge family members were divided into three factions and could not argue.
"Liu Bei and Le Yi also sent lobbyists to request entry into the fort."
"You can't let the fierce generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Hai come in. If they are civil officials, they'd be fine."
Zhuge Xuan was worried that the two sides would capture the fort from within in the name of negotiations and only let civil officials come in.
If a powerful general of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai is allowed to enter, there is no need to guard this fort.
"Xianhe, the important task of lobbying Zhuge is left to you. Do your best to do your best."
Liu Bei sent his young friend Jian Yong to the fort to lobby for Zhuge's loyalty.
Jian Yong was one of the lobbyists of the Three Kingdoms, and his achievements were to lobby Liu Zhang for surrendering to Liu Bei.
Therefore, Jian Yong has the characteristics of a lobbyist, which can increase the probability of lobbying the powerful NPC families surrendering. Even the governor of Yizhou, Liu Zhang, will be influenced by Jian Yong.
Now, you should be sure to win.
Jian Yong entered the Zhuge's fort and bowed to Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin and others: "I am the commander of the left general Liu Bei to serve as the Zhonglang Jian Yong. At that time, in chaos, the world was in chaos, and the Han Dynasty was in decline. The left general wanted to raise the righteous army and support the Han Dynasty, but lacked military advisors. I heard that the Zhuge of Langya had the talent to promote the world and the earth, so I sent me to come down to invite you to come out. If you achieve great things in the future, the Zhuge of Langya will be the best contribution."
Jian Yong's lobbyist characteristics have been effective, and they have unconsciously influenced Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin and others.
“Calm.”
Zhuge Jin vaguely realized that Jian Yong had the ability to lobby, so he calmed down and ignored Jian Yong's lobbying effect.
"I heard that Liu Bei and Yuan Tan attacked Beihai Kingdom, but they were defeated and returned. The Qingzhou army went south because of this. Our Zhuge family is just an ordinary family in Yangdu County. I am afraid that even if our Zhuge family defected to Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not have improved."
Zhuge Xuan weighed it.
With Liu Bei's power, even if he surrendered to Liu Biao, he would be more reliable than surrendering to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was in a state of displaced state, and Liu Biao had at least one Jingzhou, as well as generals such as Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, and Huang Zu. At least there were more military generals than Liu Bei.
If the Zhuge clan of Langya joins Liu Bei's army, he will soon fight the Qingzhou army, and the future of Zhuge clan is uncertain.
Jian Yong said: "This is a bad statement. General Zuo has a lofty ambition, but unfortunately he always encounters good opportunities, so he is always wandering and unable to gain a foothold. If he has opportunities, he can achieve great goals. As the saying goes, he will not bully his youth in thirty years of Hexi for thirty years."
"This statement makes sense."
Zhuge Xuan stood on the wall of the fort and watched and found that Liu Bei had the aura of the emperor, so Zhuge Xuan fell into hesitation.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two powerful generals, have the qualifications to compete in the Central Plains, but they have never found a suitable opportunity.
"Liu Bei is just a general Tao Qian, how can he support the Han Dynasty?"
A harsh voice sounded, and Xin Ping, a lobbyist from Xu Tian’s camp, came to serve as an envoy, with a young man around him.
“Xin Ping…”
Jian Yong saw the person clearly and frowned slightly.
The lobbyist who lobbyed Guan Hai to betray Liu Bei was Xin Ping.
Xin Ping has the characteristics of fanning the flames and his lobbying ability is no less than Jian Yong.
Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin looked at the young man beside Xin Ping.
This man is less than ten years old, but he is wearing a purple robe and dressed in a rich and graceful manner. He does not look like a child servant, but is obviously a descendant of aristocratic families.
Zhuge Jin looked at this person and felt inexplicably fond of love.
Zhuge Xuan was puzzled: "Why did Le Yi send a little boy to lobby?"
The boy snorted coldly: "I am Sun Quan of the Sun family in Jiangdong, not a child."
"Hiss, Jiangdong Sun Family..."
All the elders of Zhuge clans, including Zhuge Xuan, were surprised.
Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong, was powerful in the Central Plains. The Sun family in Jiangdong held important positions in Xutian's power, and Zhuge Xuan also heard about it.
Compared with Sun's, Zhuge's power is still much worse.
"Jiangdong Sun Family."
After Zhuge Jin saw Sun Quan, he preferred to surrender to Xu Tian.
Every general has bonds and close generals.
One of Zhuge Jin's close military generals was Sun Quan.
Therefore, Xu Tian specially sent Sun Quan to accompany the army to recruit Zhuge, Langya with Le Yi.
Sun Quan was a little bitch and was born in a noble family, so he was not afraid of trouble and talked to Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin and others.
"It's not good now..."
As a lobbyist, Jian Yong found that Zhuge Jin had a good impression of Sun Quan and knew that things were not good.
Xin Ping, Sun Quan came to lobby for Zhuge's capital, not only Sun Quan, but also Zhuge Jin, but Xu Tian was strong, which was an important capital to win over Zhuge's family.
Xin Ping competed with Jian Yong and did not give Jian Yong the opportunity to continue lobbying Zhuge Xuan.
Even if Jian Yong is clever and the comparison of strength between the two sides is here, Jian Yong's lobbying cannot change the comparison of strength between the two sides.
"You guys leave the fort for now, we will make a choice."
After hearing the conditions of both sides, Zhuge Xuan ordered Jian Yong, Xin Ping and Sun Quan to leave the fort.
"Tiyu, do you already know whether to go to Jingzhou or stay in the Central Plains?"
Zhuge Xuan discovered that his nephew Zhuge Jin had talents no less than his own. In addition, Zhuge Jin was the eldest son of his brother, so he respected Zhuge Jin's judgment very much.
Zhuge Jin looked at Sun Quan who had left the fort. For some reason, Zhuge Jin felt a fond of Sun Quan: "Although Liu Bei had the aura of the emperor, his nephew, Sun Quan, also had the aura of the emperor. However, even so, the Sun family in Jiangdong, where Sun Quan was located, still served for Xu Tian, the governor of Jizhou. This shows that the one who really has the hope of gaining the world is the governor of Jizhou."
Zhuge Xuan was silent.
Xu Tian dared to accept the Jiangdong Sun family with great luck as his subordinate, which shows that Xu Tian was still above these group of lucky sons of the Three Kingdoms.
"It seems that you have already decided which princes to surrender to, and your uncle won't stop you. It just so happened that Xu Tian sent his army south to attack Langya Kingdom. If you surrender to Xu Tian, you can protect the village."
Zhuge Xuan sighed.
Zhuge Jin was meticulous and immediately noticed the change in Zhuge Xuan's state of mind: "Is it because my uncle didn't stay in Langya?"
Zhuge Xuan shook his head: "I am a subordinate of Jingzhou. I was ordered to come and invite several of your brothers and sisters to go to Jingzhou. Since you chose to stay in the Central Plains, I will no longer force you. But Liu Jingzhou treats me well, how can you leave?"
Zhuge Jin was silent for a while, and then said, "Uncle, take care of yourself."
Because Zhuge Liang was young and could not make decisions, it was basically Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin who decided the fate of Zhuge.
But Zhuge Jin's intimate lord Gongsun Quan was in Xu Tian's camp. Zhuge finally relied on the Jizhou Mu Xu Tian under Zhuge Jin's leadership.
So Zhuge Liang stayed in the Central Plains.
"I am lucky if I get it, but I am lucky if I lose it. Xianhe doesn't have to blame himself. We will retreat to Kaiyang County and see if we can find another talent."
Liu Bei was informed by Zhuge that Zhuge decided to rely on the Qingzhou army, and did not punish Jian Yong in his disappointment.
No matter how powerful a lobbyist is, he must have strong military strength as a backing.
Why can Zhang Yi lobby the six countries to enter Qin?
In addition to Zhang Yi's eloquence, what is more important is the unrivalled powerful national strength of Qin!
Liu Bei could only be regarded as a small prince in the early stage, and could not be compared with a great prince of Xu Tian, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
