Zhuge Ke calmly told the story of Wang Ling's desire to surrender to the Eastern Wu, including the causes and consequences of this matter and the requests made by Wang Ling. Zhuge Ke reported to Sun Quan in its original form.

While making a memorial, Zhuge Ke secretly looked at Sun Quan's expression. Seeing Sun Quan confused and surprised at first, but then he felt an uncontrollable ecstasy. It was obvious that Sun Quan was extremely interested in this sudden good news. He also keenly realized the huge fighter opportunity contained in this incident, and it is very likely that his lifelong dream would become a reality.

In fact, what Zhuge Ke wants is Sun Quan's attitude. Only when Sun Quan's support can he let go and do his best.

Sun Quan became very interested in this matter. Although Zhuge Ke had already said it in detail, Sun Quan still asked several key questions repeatedly and directly verified Wang Mingshan. After receiving the accurate reply, Sun Quan nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Sun Quan ordered his close servant to take Wang Mingshan down and entertain him happily. Wang Mingshan knew that it was the king and minister of Wu that should come to discuss the matter next, so he bowed for a while and retreated tactfully.

Sun Quan did not beat around the bush but asked Zhuge Ke directly: "Zhuge Beloved, do you think this matter is feasible?"

Zhuge Ke said: "I think that the credibility of this matter is at least 90%. Wang Ling and Sima Yi are not in harmony, which is known to everyone in the world. When Sima Yi mutiny in Luoyang, he took the power of assisting the country from Cao Shuang. Wang Ling must be suspicious, fearing that Sima Yi would attack him, so he would take the initiative first and conspire to establish a new king with the governor of Yanzhou Linghu Yu. The news just passed from Yanzhou was that Yanzhou Governor Yi Ren, Guanglu Xun Zheng Chong was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou and replaced Linghu Yu's position. As for Linghu Yu, his whereabouts were unknown. It is estimated that nine out of ten things Wang Ling did. He is now worried that Sima Yi, who was stationed in Yanzhou, went south to deal with him, so he wanted to surrender to our Dongwu and use the power of Dongwu to resist Sima Yi."

Sun Quan nodded and said, "What I said is very true. Wang Ling surrendered to us was because of helplessness. We can also take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Huainan. As long as we join forces with Wang Ling to defeat Sima Yi, we will be just around the corner to advance to the Central Plains!"

Speaking of the time when it was just around the corner, Sun Quan's old face was filled with excitement. Indeed, he had been waiting for almost fifty years for this day, so how could he not be excited about it?

At this time, Bu Zhi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to send troops rashly at this time. I will still be willing to make plans for this matter."

Bu Zhi's words obviously poured a basin of cold water to Sun Quan's enthusiasm. Sun Quan was a little unhappy, but Bu Zhi was the prime minister and the leader of all officials. After all, he wanted to give some face. Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "What are the worries about Bu Aiqing? You might as well say it out loud."

Bu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ling's request was too harsh. He surrendered to Wu in name, but in fact he continued to control Huainan and become a country in the country. This time, he borrowed my soldiers from Eastern Wu to repel Sima Yi, and wasted the soldiers, horses, money and food of our Eastern Wu, and he received only a false reputation. I think it would be better not to do this for others."

Wang Ling's surrender was conditional, that was, he asked the state town of Huainan. Not only did Wang Ling want to be the king of Huainan in the country, but even his descendants would be king in Huainan for generations.

In Bu Zhi's opinion, this requirement is difficult to accept. What Wang Ling paid was just a simple matter of changing the flag, while what the Eastern Wu paid was real soldiers, money and food. In addition, there would definitely be casualties when fighting. The blood of the soldiers of the Eastern Wu were used to give Wang Ling a cushion. In the end, the Eastern Wu gained nothing except a false reputation. Such a transaction was difficult to describe as cost-effective, so Bu Zhi suggested that Sun Quan make a long-term plan and not make hasty decisions.

Zhuge Ke chuckled and said, "Prime Minister Bu is too worried. Wang Ling has his ideas, and we also have our considerations. The most urgent task now is to march into Huainan and repel Sima Yi's attack. As for our army may not need to withdraw from Huainan after victory. Whether Wang Ling can be regarded as the King of Huainan is not up to Your Majesty to decide."

Zhuge Ke's intention was very obvious, that is, when he was unanimous to the outside world, he might as well agree to Wang Ling's request first, and when he defeated Sima Yi's army, he would turn around and deal with Wang Ling's affairs. At that time, the Wu army had already fully entered Huainan, and Sun Quan had the final say on how to deal with it.

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that Zhuge Ke was indeed extremely smart. Now that the enemy is in front of him, it is not impossible to fully agree to Wang Ling’s request. When the Eastern Wu army enters Huainan, the road is already completed and whether to tear the agreement is torn apart, it is naturally Sun Quan’s case.

In order to obtain Jingzhou, Sun Quan did not hesitate tore up the Sun-Liu alliance agreement, sneaked into Jingzhou, and killed Guan Yu. The entire Eastern Wu was not ashamed of such a treacherous act, but was complacent. Shu Kingdom was weak, and in the end he could only swallow his anger and make peace.

Therefore, in Sun Quan's eyes, there is always only interests. For the sake of interests, it is not hesitant to break the alliance and break the contract. Zhuge Ke proposed that Wang Ling's requests can be obedient. In the future, after the army enters Huainan and stabilizes the overall situation, the tearing down the agreement is just something that Sun Quan is familiar with. If Wang Ling knew the current affairs and took the initiative to hand over the power, he might be able to protect him as much as he was. Otherwise, destroying him in one breath would be just a matter of raising his hand.

If the Eastern Wu did not take advantage of this opportunity, he would never be able to intervene in Huainan.

In the end, Sun Quan happily decided that Zhuge Ke would be fully responsible for Huainan affairs, while Wang Mingshan was left in Jianye and acted as a hostage. This is also a common "international practice".

Before leaving Jianye, Zhuge Ke proposed to Sun Quan that he should immediately inform Shu Kingdom and ask them to send troops to Guanlong to jointly plan for the world.

Nowadays, there are frequent chaos in Wei, Cao Liang rebelled in Bingzhou and Wang Ling rebelled in Huainan. Just to quell these rebellions, Sima Yi was enough to do his best to do anything. If Wu and Shu could send troops together at this time, the chances of winning the world would undoubtedly be much greater. If the troops were not sent at this time, when would it take?

Wu and Shu had an agreement before that even how to divide the world equally has been decided. The four states of Yu, Qing, Xu and You belong to the Eastern Wu, Yan, Ji, and Liang belong to the Shu Kingdom. This is ridiculous enough. It doesn’t even have the minimum strategic deployment, but I think of it first to divide the spoils, a typical painting of cake to satisfy my hunger.

As the situation has changed drastically today, the turbulent and turbulent clouds are surging, which is a good time to seize the world. Therefore, Zhuge Ke sought assistance from the Shu Alliance and struck while the iron was hot.

Sun Quan happily agreed to it and immediately sent an envoy to Shu Kingdom.
