Zhao Yun did not obey the order as before, but stepped forward, walked to the center of the main hall, and arched his hand and said: "Lord, the last general thinks that the lord can't borrow Nanjun!" ”

"Zilong, you don't understand, step down!" Originally, Liu Bei thought that Zhao Yun would say a profound opinion like the last time he left Hua Tuo, but he didn't want to let him borrow Nanjun, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and waved his hand to let Zhao Yun retreat.

Zhao Yun didn't retreat, and continued: "The lord, please forgive Yun for being rude, it's just that Yun has something to ask the lord!" ”

Although Liu Bei was unhappy in his heart, he was unwilling to save Zhao Yun's face, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you ask!" ”

Zhao Yun asked: "The lord went to Jiangdong this time, if he borrowed from Sun Quan to Nanjun, you need to know that there is a loan and a return, then I don't know if Sun Quan will send someone to ask for Nanjun in the future, and the lord will not pay it back?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yun's question can be regarded as asking Liu Bei, yes, borrowed it from Nanjun, and Sun Quan sent someone to ask for it in the future, but he still won't pay it back?

Without waiting for Liu Bei to answer, His Royal Highness Zhao Yun first gave an answer: "The lord stands up with benevolence and righteousness, so naturally he has borrowed and repaid, but Nanjun, I'm afraid that the lord wants to pay it back, and he can't pay it back, right?" Because after the lord took Nanjun, he had to implement the Longzhong strategy of the military division, attacking Yizhou to the west and Nanyang and Xuchang to the north.

If the lord takes Yizhou, he will occupy Jing and Yizhou, and his power will surpass Sun Quan in one fell swoop. At that time, Sun Quan saw that the lord was powerful, and he must come to ask for Nanjun, first, to weaken the lord's strength, and second, to expand his own strength.

If the lord returns to Nanjun, there are two major drawbacks, one is that the strategy of sending troops from Nanjun to the north to attack Cao Cao cannot be realized, and second, the four counties of Jingnan and Yizhou are not connected to the road, if the south county is returned, it is equivalent to losing the four counties of Jingnan, and the whole Jingzhou is lost by returning one southern county.

Therefore, Nanjun cannot be returned!

But the lord stands up with benevolence and righteousness, and if he does not repay the loan, he may lose his trust in the world. Sun Quan saw that the lord's power was greater than him, and he occupied Nanjun and did not return it, so he would definitely send troops to seize Nanjun. At that time, the lord is far away in Yizhou, and Jingyi is separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, once Sun Quan raids Jingzhou, Jingzhou will be lost, and the Sun-Liu alliance will definitely break, and the one who will benefit is the Cao thief.

Therefore, the last general is foolish and begs the lord not to borrow Nanjun from Sun Quan, otherwise there will be endless troubles! ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Liu Bei was shocked and worried, shocked by how Zhao Yun suddenly had such insight, and worried that Zhao Yun pointed out the dangers of borrowing Nanjun, in fact, Liu Bei had thought about these hazards for a long time, but he didn't dare to face them.

After all, benevolence and righteousness are Liu Bei's life, and it is the foundation for him to stand on the world!

Liu Bei sighed, but in a moment, his eyes were red, his eyes were full of tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Zilong, I don't know that after borrowing Nanjun, it will push me into an unkind and unjust situation, but the Han Dynasty is declining, as a descendant of the Han Queen, I am subject to His Majesty's bloody edict, if I can't revive the Han family, how can I face the ancestors of the Han Dynasty?"

I only borrowed Nanjun first, as for the future, in the long term with Sun Quan, if the discussion is not good, how can I compare with the righteousness of reviving the Han Dynasty? ”

Liu Bei made his words clear this time, and first borrowed Nanjun to say, how to discuss with Sun Quan slowly, to put it bluntly, he will not pay it back, and Sun Quan will shirk it if he asks for it. If Sun Quan sends troops to rob him, for the sake of Nanjun, his reputation for benevolence and righteousness can be discarded, and he will not return Nanjun to Sun Quan.

Liu Bei's words really pushed him to the opposite side of the benevolence and righteousness that he had always advertised, but all this he did was based on the premise of reviving the Han Dynasty, so the ministers under Liu Bei's command were in admiration when they heard it.

In order to revive the Han Dynasty, the lord can even abandon the foundation of benevolence and righteousness, what a sacrifice he has to make!

Zhao Yun heard Liu Bei's heartfelt words, and he was also moved at the moment, and immediately bowed his head and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "The lord is going to be like this, Yun has a plan, so that Jiangdong Sun Quan can give Nanjun to the lord, and the lord can not lose the name of benevolence and righteousness!" ”

Liu Bei heard Zhao Yun say this, but he instinctively didn't believe it, shook his head and said: "Zilong said that it was funny, it took Zhou Yu a year to take Nanjun, and I couldn't borrow it from Sun Quan, so how could he give Nanjun away?" ”

Zhuge Liang on the side looked at Zhao Yun, his eyes were extremely deep, and he suddenly smiled: "Lord, Zilong's knowledge has increased a lot during this time, you can't help but let Zilong talk about it, maybe it's feasible." ”

"Okay, Zilong, just tell me your clever plan!"

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Lord, Yun's strategy is that the lord does not go to Jiangdong to borrow Nanjun, but only needs to borrow Nanjun with Sun Quan in three days, and reveals his intention to seize Yizhou in the letter. In the observation of the time to change and seize Jiaozhou, it will not take three or five months, and Nanjun will naturally be the lord of you. ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's high arguments, Liu Bei's brows suddenly furrowed, not only Liu Bei, but everyone else also frowned.

Originally, I thought that Zhao Yun would say something high, but when Zhao Yun said it, everyone was stunned.

Is this also called a strategy? It's bullshit and inconsistent.

Only Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun with a smile on his face.

Liu Bei immediately questioned: "Zilong, I have written no less than five letters to Sun Quan during this time, and I can't borrow them from Jingzhou at all, and you still asked me to write to Sun Quan, which has no effect."

As for attacking Jiaozhou, it is even more meaningless, Jiaozhou is located in Lingnan, the land is barren, and it cannot be compared with Nanjun at all. What's more, Wang Ye is not partial, if I take Jiaozhou, this is an act of a corner of peace, so the world's hearts are towards the Han Dynasty, won't they be disappointed in me? ”

"Lord, please listen to Yun Shen!" Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Sun Quan is so young, but he is also a hero, although you sent a letter to him to borrow Nanjun, he did not agree. But considering the situation, he actually had the intention of lending Nanjun to the lord in his heart.

The reason why he didn't agree is that I hope you will deign to go to Jiangdong to borrow it in person, so as to show his dominance in the Sun-Liu Alliance. At the same time, it also let the people of the world know that Nanjun was borrowed by you in Jiangdong in person, and when the time comes, he will come to ask for it, and if you don't pay it back, you will lose your trust in the world.

But as long as you insist on writing to Sun Quan, in fact, Sun Quan will be anxious in his heart! ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that Sun Quan will think that Nanjun, which my Jiangdong soldiers only got after a year of hard fighting, was easily lent out with a few letters?" He was unwilling, so he wouldn't lend it to me. ”

"It's just to make him unwilling!" Zhao Yun smiled and continued: "Lord, as long as you say in your letter that you want to use Nanjun to gain a foothold in Yizhou, and after you take Yizhou, you will return to Nanjun, so what will happen to Sun Quan?" ”

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "In the past, when I joined forces with Zhou Yu to fight Cao Thief, I also knew a thing or two about Zhou Yu's development strategy for Jiangdong. If I said in my letter that I wanted to borrow Nanjun to attack Yizhou, then Sun Quan would not lend Nanjun to me, but he would send troops to fight Yizhou by himself, which would break my thoughts! ”
