What Xu Shu said is very reasonable, Liu Bei's opportunity now is obvious, as long as he joins forces with Sun Ce in Jiangdong, he doesn't want to be able to defeat Liu Yu, as long as he drags Liu Yu to Jingzhou.

Why does Xu Shu have so much confidence?

First of all, there is no outstanding commander of the navy under Liu Yu, and there is no strong navy, which is Liu Yu's biggest weakness. The Jiangdong Army and Liu Bei had a naval army that could compete with Liu Yu, and the number was huge.

The Jingzhou naval army that had just returned to Shun could almost be ignored. Since Liu Biao was in power, the number of Jingzhou naval forces has been steadily suppressing Jiangdong, and the number of warships is also huge. Why was the Jingzhou naval army, which could occupy the favorable terrain upstream and have an advantage in numbers, repeatedly pressed and beaten by the Jiangdong army? Because the interior of the Jingzhou Navy is rotten. Cai Mao, as the governor of Jingzhou, has his own people in both the water and land armies, most of these people are generals, they are all from families, their abilities are limited, and they cannot give full play to the strength of the water army. These generals are all black-hearted, and they often do things that take the lead and deduct military salaries. The soldiers of the Jingzhou Navy Army all became soldiers for a bite to eat, and this combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Secondly, most of Liu Yujun's people are from the north, and they are very unsuitable for the climate in the south. Xu Shu could almost see that it would not be long before Liu Yu's army would show signs of being unadaptable, and it was unknown how much combat power it would be able to retain after that, but it definitely couldn't be compared with the Central Plains. Cao Cao in the north will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, once Liu Yu is deeply mired in the quagmire of Jingzhou, he will definitely make a move when it is time to make a move.

After weighing it, Xu Shu was full of confidence in defeating Liu Yu.

Liu Bei also believed in Xu Shu's strategy, but if he wanted to join forces with Sun Ce, he still needed to send an envoy, but it was not easy for this envoy to be able to convince Sun Ce, and he had to be extremely eloquent.

"The military advisor is right. Liu Bei had already made a decision. Liu Bei put a lot of gold on his face, he can't be a lord who doesn't see these things.

"The lord is wise!" Xu Shu gave Liu Bei face very decisively.

"It's good to join forces with Koto! But someone has to be the lobbyist. I wonder if you have a good candidate? Liu Bei asked.

Zhang Fei and other generals were silent, this matter of being a lobbyist was not their specialty, and the responsibility was heavy, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Several scribes were also a little hesitant, like Jian Yong, who was a bit eloquent, and was willing to go to Jiangdong to work hard, but they were also worried that they would not be able to complete Liu Bei's task, and if they failed at that time, they would be miserable, and Liu Bei was likely to perish because of this. They thought about it and didn't take the risk.

Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, but no one answered his own question.

Xu Shu came out directly and said: "Lord, the matter of going out of Jiangdong is still up to the bottom." ”

"How's that going to work?" Liu Bei was telling the truth, he really didn't want Xu Shu to go to Jiangdong. Xu Shu's ability is superb, and Sun Ce is a heroic hero, if there is a sympathy, then Liu Bei will lose a lot.

"My lord, the best person to send an envoy to Jiangdong is Zaixia." Xu Shu said again with confirmation.

Liu Bei said worriedly: "Jiangdong Sun Ce is a tiger and wolf, and Zhou Yu is also a cunning person, if the military advisor goes, I am afraid that he will be embarrassed by them." Liu Bei is also inseparable from the military advisor. ”

Xu Shu was grateful for Liu Bei's concern, and said righteously: "My lord, uniting Jiangdong is the first thing. When I went to Jiangdong, I could directly understand Sun Ce's meaning and the situation in Jiangdong, and prepare for future planning. ”

Can Xu Shu not know that going to Jiangdong will be difficult? Liu Bei is now a lost dog, and it is surprising that Liu Bei's military advisor can be treated well. But for Liu Bei's future plans, what is Xu Shu's grievances!

Xu Shu has such a plan, and if Liu Bei is not allowed to send an envoy to Jiangdong, it will be a bit too much to say.

"Strategist, you must be careful when you go to Jiangdong. In this way, Wen Chang, you can take 5,000 sailors to escort the military division to Jiangdong. Liu Bei felt that it was better to send someone to escort Xu Shu over to be safe, one was to protect Xu Shu, and the other purpose was to monitor Xu Shu, so that Xu Shu could not see something different and move to the enemy.

"Little brother obeys!" Wei Yan directly agreed.

What can Xu Shu say, with his wisdom, he doesn't know what Liu Bei means, isn't it that he is not at ease with himself. Xu Shu is not broken, it is inevitable that Liu Bei, as the lord, will be defensive against his subordinates, and if Xu Shu is in Liu Bei's position, he will definitely do it.

Xu Shu was grateful to take him out to prepare, and the others also left one after another.

And Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, these two didn't know what Liu Bei had planned, but they felt that Liu Bei should tell them something secret.

"Big brother, is there anything wrong with you?" Zhang Fei is still the same big character.

Compared with Zhang Fei, Wei Yan seemed mature and steady, waiting for Liu Bei's orders with a serious face.

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Two brothers, our situation is very delicate now, and there are some things for the brothers to consult with the two brothers in detail. ”

Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei so serious, and the whole person sat and looked at Liu Bei.

"Liu Yu took Xiangyang, and the situation in Jingzhou can no longer be controlled by us. Liu Yu said this time that he wanted to capture Liu Qi and Liu Cong, but his purpose was to destroy my brother. Liu Bei said.

"Don't worry, eldest brother, the younger brother will definitely protect the eldest brother." Zhang Fei hurriedly said.

Wei Yan also nodded.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's sincerity, and was quite moved in his heart, and said: "Brother Wei knows the hearts of the two brothers, but if that day really comes, Brother Wei hopes that you will keep your useful body......"

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei interrupted him and said, "Big brother, don't say that kind of unlucky thing, what we have to do now is to resist Liu Yu." ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, Zhang Fei is still his good brother.

"Wen Chang, the military advisor will definitely encounter a lot of trouble when he goes to Jiangdong as an envoy, you must protect the military advisor." Liu Bei said to Wei Yan.

"Big brother, don't worry." Protecting Xu Shu is such a thing, Wei Yan still has confidence.

"What's more, you have to repay me for who the military advisor meets and what he does in Jiangdong, and you can't let the military advisor know." Liu Bei admonished.

"Little brother understands!" Wei Yan's eyes narrowed, he seemed to know the real purpose of Liu Bei to let him go to Jiangdong.

Zhang Fei also understood, but he felt that this was very bad, so he said: "Big brother, if this is known to the military advisor, it will not be very good." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, and you have to be cautious for your brother!" With the intelligence of a military advisor, he should be able to understand so-and-so. ”

Wei Yan and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, they felt Liu Bei's helplessness from Liu Bei's words, so they said respectfully: "I'll understand!" ”

Liu Bei approached, took their hands, and said emotionally: "In this troubled world, the only one who can rely on you is a brother. ”

Wei Yan and Zhang Fei were moved, and they couldn't wait to take out their hearts and livers and give them to Liu Bei.

Wei Yan and Zhang Fei held Liu Bei's hand tightly, and the strong brotherhood permeated the entire room at this moment, as if there were only three of them in heaven and earth.
