Chapter 1102 Gongsun

Zhuge Jin's companions and Chejia had already gone directly to the museum. The two of them were riding in Zhuge Liang's Prime Minister Chejiajia. Chejiajia entered from Wuyi Gate and was about to reach Huwei Gate. At this time, they were driving in the open square, and the wheels pressed over the two-foot-wide stones on the square, making regular sounds.

Zhuge Liang stared at the palace gradually approaching ahead, not looking at Zhuge Jin.

After all, that was the elder brother. After his father passed away, his elder brother supported the family business and treated Zhuge Liang like half of his father. Zhuge Liang was not willing to see his elder brother sighing like this.

But he knew very well that it was fake.

Zhuge Jin, who was in Yangdu of Langya, was a gentleman who was so gentle that he was almost a bit pedantic. However, Zhuge Jin, who had been in Jiangdong for many years, could stand under the wind, sword and frost sword for decades, and was always regarded as a confidant by Xiong Guess... He would never be the same as before.

However, the power of Jiangdong continued to weaken, resulting in no new ideas of the methods that could be used. This kind of pretending to be helpless and using retreat as a means was used by Lu Zijing in the early years, but now his brother is here to use it again.

Zhuge Liang was 100% sure. After he made his request, his brother would inevitably complain, and tears would flow out, and then he would go back and forth without end. It was so ugly and there was no need at all.

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand, posed a feather fan, and signaled the driver to stop the car.

The driver stopped the horses, then jumped out of the car and retreated to the side; the entourage soldiers also went to the distance in a row. Only the carriage parked alone in the middle of the wide square. At this time, the sun had begun to go west, and the sunlight shone through the gradually rising sunset, stretching the shadow of the carriage.

"Brother, what do you think if the emperor hopes that General Sun can enter the court in person and attend the ceremony of enthroning the queen, and from then on, he will live in the imperial capital as a wealthy and noble relative?"

Zhuge Jin's face changed drastically, and he immediately smiled dryly: "The emperor is so kind, he should have thanked him, but..."

Zhuge Liang interrupted Zhuge Jin's words in a joking tone: "You are such a joke, brother, don't take it seriously."

Zhuge Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but stared at Zhuge Liang, waiting vigilantly for him to say something that was not a joke.

"Since General Sun intends to join hands again, Your Majesty will not be confined to the hostility of the past. However, the enemies of the soldiers on both sides have already arisen, and the knots of heart cannot be eliminated. What General Sun wants to get, he must first exchange it for sincerity."

"What sincerity do you need?"

"Since last winter, Cao Pi has reorganized the imperial guards in Yecheng, and he is quite stunning to lie on firewood and taste gall. Although this generation is not a big problem, if he sits alone, he may be a disaster. If General Sun can persuade Zang Ba and cause some trouble in Qingxu, he will just show his sincerity. In this way, I can try to convince the military officials in the court."

The negotiations between the two families could not avoid this key point. Although Sun Quan certainly hoped to suppress the Jiangdong clan internally and win over Zang Ba externally through contact with the Liu family. However, no one in the Chengdu court had ever believed in Sun Quan, and no one regarded Sun Quan as an ally worthy of his full efforts as he did back then.

Zhuge Liang's meaning is very clear. Don't talk about friendship between the two families. Please ask General Sun to make some trouble with Zang Ba first and create a chaos for the Cao family. When it is proven that he has the ability to disturb the Qing and Xu states, he will talk about other things.

Want to make money from nothing? Dreaming.

The question is, how can this be done easily? Even if Sun Quan and Zang Ba have such ability, how much price will they have to pay for this? How many risks will they bear? If you are not careful, you may lose your army and land, and then you will be in danger of your life!

What's more, without the support of the Liu court behind him, what would Sun Quan use to instigate Zang Ba? Although Sun Quan's road is getting narrower and narrower, Zang Ba is the new general of the East and the governor of Qingzhou when he was in power. His two ends of the rat were just the basic operation of local tyrants. Sun Quan could not show enough benefits and could not show the confidence to win. How could Zang Ba move a little bit?

"Kong Ming, we can't do it." Zhuge Jin shook his head slowly.

"Since that's the case, there is no need for my brother to come to Chengdu." Zhuge Liang did not hesitate.

Zhuge Jin struggled and said, "After all, Mrs. Sun..."

"Brother, you are a foreign minister. If your words involve the queen of the Han Dynasty, please be careful."

Zhuge Jin was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Kong Ming, why should I do this?"

The two brothers sat quietly for a while, as the shadow of the car extended eastward, and another stone was covered with.

"Brother, do you have any good things hidden? Take them out now." Zhuge Liang suddenly said.

"What?"

"I know General Sun's style very well. I know even more about my brother's style of behavior. Since you come to Chengdu, you must have done a thorough analysis and brought something that can impress us..." Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand: "Brother, don't hide it."

Zhuge Jin laughed bitterly: "I went out for a study tour back when I was going to study, and I always brought candy back. When you surrounded me and asked for it, I like to say this. Brother, don't hide it, don't hide it, haha."

Zhuge Liang also chuckled, and the serious atmosphere between the two suddenly faded a lot.

But Zhuge Liang's palm stretched out was spread in front of Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin lowered his eyelids, looked at Zhuge Liang's palm lines, and said in a deep voice:

"Kong Ming, I discussed with General Sun in Jianye. They all felt that since the court had taken control of Guanzhong, the next step was to attract Long, Shu soldiers and horses, and wealth from the four passes, and to the east to reach the world. However, if you want to draw the Long soldiers and horses, you must solve the Cao forces entrenched in the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang. If you want to benefit Longshang, you must contact small Western countries such as Shanshan, Kucha, and Khotan to open up the trade route to the west. For this reason, by the latest next year, the court will definitely send Deli generals to the west to expedition."

Even if you haven't discussed such a major policy several times in the Chengdu court, Zhuge Jin knew so clearly that it shows that they have put a lot of effort in Chengdu.

Zhuge Liang was not surprised and nodded calmly and said, "That's right."

"The army's expedition to the west is far away, and the back and forth is not short. To avoid any incidents, it is best to focus the Cao family's eyes on the east. If there is a war in the east, it will be of great benefit to the court."

Zhuge Jin slowly took out a flat wooden box from the sleeve of the robe and placed it in Zhuge Liang's hand: "So, it would be great if he could persuade Zang Ba and disturb Qing Xu."

Zhuge Liang looked down at the wooden box and knew that what was in it was Zang Ba's letter: "However, General Sun could not bear the price of urging Zang Ba."

"Or it is, Jiangdong cannot withstand the risk of failure again... This is also helpless." Zhuge Jin nodded calmly, then took out another flat wooden box from his sleeve and placed it on the previous wooden box: "Fortunately, in addition to Qing Xu Haoba and others, Jiangdong's influence runs directly along the coast to the north, and there is another force that can be used."

"This is?"

"Kong Ming, please see."

Zhuge Liang opened the wooden box as he said, and only glanced at it, his eyes slightly condensed: "Gongsun, Liaodong?"

Zhuge Jin nodded: "Our Lord has made great efforts to operate in Liaodong for several years, relying on shipping, and he has also chosen an ambitious person to help him in the Gongsun clan of Liaodong. Now, we can be sure that with just one order from Jiangdong, Liaodong will be in chaos within half a year, which will be enough to disturb the entire Youzhou, threaten the stability of Jizhou, and make Cao Pi uneasy in Yecheng!"

He turned his hand and put the two wooden boxes back into his sleeves, and asked in the most earnest voice: "Kong Ming, is this sincerity enough? I don't have much of it!"

It has to be admitted that Sun's ambition, tenacity and methods are by no means comparable to those guarding dogs. No matter how bad the situation is, Sun's efforts never stop, and he can really bring out some surprises from time to time.

Zhuge Liang remembers that the Gongsun family in Liaodong expanded in the past decade, expeditioned in Haidong, east to Goguryeo and west to Wuhuan. It was known to have tens of thousands of troops and a base of thousands of miles. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he appointed Gongsun Gong as the general of the chariot and cavalry. He was granted the title of Marquis of Pingguo.

If Sun Quan could really make something happen in Liaodong...

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, held the feather fan and waved it twice outside the car. So the driver and the entourage turned back and the vehicle started again.

"Brother, Your Majesty is in Xuanhua Hall, please follow me to pay my respects."
