"Your Majesty, it is certain that Zhang Lu is unwilling to be idle!"

Zhou Yu stood up and said coldly: "However, he may not be loyal to Cao Wei. Although he was defeated by us back then, he was killed by Cao Cao and had to give up his foundation in Hanzhong. After entering Luoyang City, he was placed under house arrest and idle, if he said that he has no resentment in his heart, I don’t believe it?”

"What Gongjin means is that you want to instigate against him?"

Sun Quan heard the words, looked up at Zhou Yu, and asked tentatively.

"I think it's very promising!" Zhou Yu nodded: "This person is a bit greedy for life and afraid of death. Since he is not very loyal to Cao Wei, it is not impossible to abandon Cao Wei's dilapidated ship in order to survive!"

"Mo Cong, tell Liao Hao to send someone to try him out!"

Sun Quan pondered for a moment, then said: "I want to know his reaction and whether he might be instigated. If he wavers, take him down at any cost. Also, you Jinyiwei on Zhangxiu's side should also step up their actions. Wuguan is the future A breakthrough in the strategy pass!"

"promise!"

With a dignified face, Mo Cong nodded respectfully to accept the order, then quickly turned around and left the imperial study room.

"Gongjin, the battle of Kanto has already been settled, and the next task of the staff department is to complete the defense of the Wei territory. Does the staff department have a rough plan now?"

At this time, Sun Quan mentioned the main purpose of summoning Zhou Yu today.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after careful discussions during this period of time, the General Staff has come up with a preliminary strategy for deploying defenses. However, this plan for deploying troops has not been submitted to the Military Aircraft Department for discussion. Not only are the high-level generals in chaos, but even the Military Justice Department and the Logistics Department are too busy with the finishing work of the Kanto War, so I plan to take this matter for a while!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu strode up, and took out a memorandum hidden in his cuff, and a marching map for the deployment of military forces. He presented the memorandum to Sun Quan, and then spread out the marching map in front of Sun Quan. analyzed.

"Your Majesty, please see that at present the Cao Wei court can only keep the territory of Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Bingzhou. Our army has already presented a three-sided siege to them, encircling them in the northwest of the Central Plains!"

"Ok!"

Sun Quan nodded, listened to Zhou Yu's report, read the memorandum detailing the deployment of troops, and looked at the marching map from time to time: "According to the situation planned on the marching map, we want to destroy them, just around the corner , but the actual situation may not be so easy, you continue to talk!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu nodded, and continued to point to the troop distribution map and said that now the staff department has given a strategic deployment: "Your Majesty, the staff department believes that our most important offensive is still between Sishui Pass, Hulao Pass and Wuguan Pass, so we plan to Send the main force of the Flying Tiger Legion and the Flame Legion to Nanyang, Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Dongjun after a rest after the Battle of Kanto.

"It makes sense!"

"But this is not the most important battlefield. Your Majesty, I think that the main battlefield between Wu and Wei should be in Hanzhong and Wudu in the future. Now most of the main force of the Wei army is here. They have a neatly organized main force of the two guards here. In addition to the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. This area will be a fortress of iron and steel, and it will be difficult to attack, and it just so happens that this is the easiest place for us to break into Guanzhong!"

"This battle will be fought sooner or later!"

"At present, our army has deployed two legions in the Bashu Han. Regardless of the Zhanxiang Legion or the Bashu Legion, after two years of rest, they have never used weapons. After recharging their energy, their combat effectiveness has returned to its peak!"

"However, with their strength, it is still not an easy task to go north to Guanzhong!"

"There is another aspect, and that is the frontier of Bingzhou. In the battle of Bingzhou, we lost again and again. Now we have lost the land of Bingzhou. However, Bingzhou is adjacent to Jizhou and Youzhou. Now Jiyou has almost become our battle flag of Wu. The territory below, if we want to attack Bingzhou, this offensive line is very long. It is an advantage for us, but it also has a disadvantage, and Bingzhou has one of Cao Wei's current heroes, Ma Chao!"

"Ma Chao is very difficult to deal with. On the plane, Zhang Liao trusted him so much that he even handed over the main force he brought out from Youzhou to him. However, our two legions on the Jiyou side have to rest after the battle. The blood wolf army is seriously injured, and the wild lion army is not strong enough. I am afraid that they may not be able to beat Ma Chao together!"

"..."

Zhou Yu told Sun Quan in detail the deployment of troops made by the General Staff over the years.

"Let you speak in such detail, you must be thirsty, drink your saliva first, and let your breath flow!"

Sun Quan listened carefully.Looking at Zhou Yu's serious face, he personally handed him some tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yu was also not polite, and drank the tea in the cup to the bottom, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you think there are deficiencies in the current deployment of troops?"

"I'm not an expert in this field. Your staff department worked together to plan a troop deployment. It's been very careful. I really can't give you opinions!"

Sun Quan shook his head. Although he has some cleverness, he is just cleverness after all. With history as a reference, he can control the overall situation. However, when it comes to grand strategy such as strategic deployment, he can't compare with these historical celebrities.

"However, there is one person who is coming back soon. I believe he should be able to give you some advice to make this troop deployment more comprehensive and careful!" Sun Quan added.

"Zhuge Kongming!"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with fighting intent when he heard this.

"Any opinion on him?"

"I believe His Majesty's decision is justified!" Zhou Yu didn't answer directly, but he was indeed a little upset.

"He is a talent, so he must use it. If the Great Wu Dynasty wants to fly to the sky, he must be tolerant of all rivers. In the current situation, it is the best time to use him. He is not only the chief of staff of the Central Army, but he will also take over Xu Shu's other position. , the left servant of the staff department, and the right servant Pang Tong, one on the left and one on the right, assisting you, the minister!"

Sun Quan said: "Now I have sent all these military strategists to your subordinates. If the strategic deployment of the staff department cannot satisfy the military aircraft department, I will be furious and turn my face directly!"

He put Mei Zhoulang, Wolong, and Fengchu in history into the staff department. Today's staff department is full of counselors, and everyone is a big man. If he doesn't make any achievements, he will doubt the legacy of history. name is real.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yu trembled all over, quickly determined his expression, cupped his hands and said, "The General Staff will never let the Military Aircraft Department and His Majesty down!"

"Since you have this confidence, why are you worried?" Sun Quan saw the uneasiness on Zhou Yu's face.

"I'm not worried about Pang Tong, what I'm worried about is...Zhuge Kongming!" Zhou Yu sighed.

"You're worried that you won't be able to suppress him!" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm a little worried about this!"

Zhou Yu nodded frankly: "Although I am confident that I am no worse than anyone else, after all, I have lost to Zhuge Kongming and caused the late emperor's tragic death. In His Majesty's words, I have some shadows in his heart. The most important point is I'm afraid His Majesty can't guarantee whether this person is loyal to my great Wu or is he harboring evil intentions?"

"This is not important!"

Sun Quan smiled, with a calm and confident smile: "I can use Zhuge Liang, this is his ability, whether he is loyal or traitor, it will take time to prove, in the staff department, if you and Pang Tong can't see a Zhuge Kongming , then let me be a little me!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if he is loyal to the Great Wu, I will definitely use him, but if he hides evil intentions, I will never spare him!" Zhou Yu's eyes had a cold murderous intent.

"Actually, I'm not very worried about this. I'm more worried. One day you will be ripped off by him!" Sun Quan said playfully: "Actually, I personally think that Zhuge Liang has almost returned to our Great Wu. It's just his ambition. But it’s not small, I will definitely not be willing to be inferior to you, if you are compared by him at that time, you, the secretary of the staff department, may not be able to keep it!"

"Then let him let the horse come over!"

Zhou Yu was full of fighting spirit. (To be continued.)

[Chapter [-] of Luoyang Fengyun [-]]

Great Wei Dynasty.

Luoyang City.

In the midsummer of July, the land of Guanzhong is in full swing, and a round of fiery fireballs is shining above the head, as if it wants to directly heat up this majestic and magnificent capital of the Wei Dynasty.

On the west side of the palace, in a palace garden, above the pavilions.

Wearing a brocade robe, Cao Pi sat kneeling in an elegant wing, with a silent expression, holding a bronze wine cup in his hand, gulping down the spirits in the wine cup, and couldn't help howling under the grief and indignation in his heart.
