所以我认为这个程序应该是怎么样呢：是鲁肃和诸葛亮从夏口回到柴桑，曹操的信也到了，当然也可能他没有这封信，得讲清楚，也可能没有这封信——没有这封信它不妨碍最后决策过程，因为据《三国志》的说法，是曹操拿下江陵以后江东方面就已经闻风畏惧了，听见风声就已经吓得不得了了——那么这个时候曹操顺江东下，因为刘备在什么地方？在夏口，樊口，已经很近了，那么在这种情况下曹操东下不是打孙权那也是打孙权。那么得到这个消息以后，孙权肯定要先召集内部的紧急会议，就有鲁肃的这番话。而鲁肃的这番话能够解决问题，除了他说到孙权的心眼里以外，还很重要的是他把问题变了，因为孙权以前犹豫不决在什么地方，孙权犹豫不决的是什么呢？帮刘备、不帮刘备，帮刘备、不帮刘备，帮刘备、不帮刘备，他怎么都算不过来，他帮刘备，也不对，引火烧身，不帮刘备，唇亡齿寒，帮刘备，养虎遗患，不帮刘备，如何如何，他怎么都倒不过来。这个时候鲁肃把问题转变了，现在我们要想的不是帮不帮刘备，是投不投降，他换一个问题来思考啊。孙权豁然开朗，对啊，不能投降，不能投降就联合刘备嘛；联合刘备，能不能联合，问诸葛亮嘛。它是这样一个系列。
So what do I think this procedure should be like? It was Lu Su and Zhuge Liang who returned to Chaisang from Xiakou, and Cao Cao’s letter also arrived. Of course, he may not have this letter, so he needs to clarify it clearly, or he may not have this letter. Without this letter, it will not hinder the final decision-making process, because according to the “Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms”, after Cao Cao took Jiangling, the Jiangdong side has already been afraid of the wind, Hearing the wind, I was already scared out of my wits. So at this time, Cao Cao Shun went down the river east because where was Liu Bei? In Xiakou, Fankou, it is already very close, so in this case, if Cao Cao Dongxia is not fighting Sun Quan, he is also fighting Sun Quan. After receiving this news, Sun Quan must first convene an internal emergency meeting, as Lu Su said. Lu Su’s words can solve the problem. In addition to what he said in Sun Quan’s mind, it is also important that he changed the problem, because where did Sun Quan hesitate before, and what did Sun Quan hesitate about? “Help Liu Bei, don’t help Liu Bei, help Liu Bei, don’t help Liu Bei, help Liu Bei, don’t help Liu Bei, he can’t count on anything. He can’t help Liu Bei, it’s also wrong. He can set fire to himself, don’t help Liu Bei, his lips are broken, his teeth are cold, help Liu Bei, raise the tiger’s legacy, don’t help Liu Bei, whatever, he can’t come back.”. At this time, Lu Su changed the issue. Now, what we need to think about is not whether to help Liu Bei or not, but whether to surrender or not. He wants to think about it in a different way. Sun Quan suddenly became enlightened. Yes, if we cannot surrender, we should unite with Liu Bei; Join hands with Liu Bei, can we join hands? Ask Zhuge Liang. It is such a series.
所以孙刘联盟的第一功臣应该是鲁肃，而不是司马光他们认为的诸葛亮。这个问题历史上本来是有结论的，裴松之在《三国志》的两个传里面都谈到了这个问题，裴松之是怎么说的呢？裴松之说：“刘备与权并立，共拒中国，皆肃之本谋。”这是一处，还有一处说：“建计拒曹公，实始鲁肃。”两处都谈到了，孙刘联盟的第一功人，是鲁肃。鲁肃的最大的作用是帮孙权算清了一笔政治账，那就是不能投降曹操，投降曹操以后我们江东集团就没有了，你孙将军也没有了。但是，能不能联合刘备，这个问题诸葛亮来解决。因为孙权这个时候已经相通了这个问题以后，他才会对诸葛亮说吾计决矣，非刘豫州莫可当曹操者，然豫州新败之后，怎么样呢？诸葛亮回答这个问题，虽然我们刘豫州新败之后，但是我们还怎么怎么样。诸葛亮就帮孙权算清了联盟账，能不能联盟，也部分地帮孙权算清了军事账，因为诸葛亮对于曹操必败他有一番分析也是非常精彩的，非常到位的。但是还有一个账，就是我孙权这边能和曹操决一死战吗？我孙权这边也得算一算军事账啊，那么帮孙权算清了军事账的这个人他又该是谁呢？请看下集——中流砥柱。
Therefore, the first hero of the Sun Liu alliance should be Lu Su, not Zhuge Liang, as Sima Guang and his colleagues believed. This issue has historically had a conclusion, and Pei Songzhi has addressed it in both biographies of the Three Kingdoms. What did Pei Songzhi say? Pei Songzhi said, “Liu Bei stands side by side with power, rejecting China together, and both are based on the principle of eliminating them.” This is one point, and another point says, “Building a plan to reject Cao Gong begins with Lu Su.” Both points mentioned that Lu Su was the first contributor to the Sun Liu alliance. The greatest role of Lu Su was to help Sun Quan settle a political account that was that he could not surrender to Cao Cao. After surrendering to Cao Cao, our Jiangdong Group disappeared, and General Sun also disappeared. However, can we unite with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to solve this problem. “Because Sun Quan had already understood this question at this time, he would only say to Zhuge Liang that my plan was final, and that Liu Yuzhou should not be a Cao Cao. However, after the new defeat of Yuzhou, what would happen?”? Zhuge Liang answered this question, “Although we have been defeated by Liu Yuzhou, how can we still do?”. Zhuge Liang helped Sun Quan settle the alliance accounts, whether he could join the alliance or not, and partially helped Sun Quan settle the military accounts, because Zhuge Liang’s analysis of Cao Cao’s inevitable defeat was also excellent and to the point. But there is still a question, is it possible for Sun Quan to fight Cao Cao to the death? I, Sun Quan, also have to calculate military accounts. So who should be the person who helped Sun Quan settle the military accounts? Take a look at the next episode – The mainstay.
