Chapter Twenty-Eight: Jiangdong Borrowed Medicine
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Not only to take Jiaozhou, but also to inform Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang is not vigilant, Yizhou will be obtained by Zhou Yu." ”
"Hey, it's just that Sun Quan refuses to lend me Nanjun, otherwise why would I design to harm him." Liu Bei sighed and said.
Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei's face was unbearable, and he couldn't help but say: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, since ancient times, who hasn't used conspiracy and tricks to fight the world?" When Xiang Yu threatened Gaozu with Gaozu's family, Gaozu also laughed and said that he would get a piece of the pie.
As long as the lord loves the people of the world, he is a great benevolence! ”
Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang say this, shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, inform Liu Zhang of the matter, let the military advisor send someone, let's talk about Jiaozhou, the military advisor really plans to send Zilong to fetch it?" ”
"Didn't the lord find out that there was something wrong with Zilong during this time?" Zhuge Liang did not answer Liu Bei, but looked at Liu Bei with burning eyes.
"Isn't that right?" Liu Bei put down the wine in his hand, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he muttered: "There is nothing wrong with it, if you really want me to say it, it is that he has been a lot smarter during this time." ”
"Since Zilong came back from Runan to find Hua Shenyi, he has been scheming frequently, leaving Hua Tuo behind, and calculating that Dongwu will take Nanjun, which is Zilong's strategy. These strategies are extremely long-term, but I didn't think of them for a while, so I suspect that Zilong has a master behind him! ”
"Superior!" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the attendant at the door: "Hurry up and invite Zilong here!" ”
"Slow down!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly raised his hand to stop Liu Bei.
"Why did the advisor stop me?"
Zhuge Liang patiently explained: "Don't worry, the lord is not in a hurry, after Zilong offered a plan to leave Hua Shenyi, I asked Zilong, Zilong's rhetoric is that he met a master in Runan and left Hua Tuo's plan, which was instructed by him. I asked him why he didn't ask him to go out of the mountain to help the lord, and Zilong said that the man who offered the plan was too old to go out of the mountain.
Liu Bei frowned, shook his head and said: "No, since the master who pointed out Zilong refused to go out of the mountain, where did Zilong come from the strategy to take Nanjun?" Could it be that this person followed Zilong to Nanjun and has been following Zilong to give advice? ”
Zhuge Liang arched his hand and smiled: "What the princess said is right, Zilong is loyal to the lord, why would he lie and not introduce that master to the lord?" This shows that the person who pointed out the dragon did not want to show up. And I asked Zilong to go to Jiaozhou and serve as a lobbyist, just to lure out this person, during this time, I also asked Zilong, and he still asked me to appoint a lobbyist for him.
This shows that the master who pointed out Zilong is reluctant to go to Jiaozhou, if my expectations are correct, this person should be observing what the lord is doing in the dark. Therefore, the lord, you must not be in a hurry, every day is as usual, benevolent and loving the people, and ruling diligently, so that he will have a good impression of the lord, but I am afraid that he will soon appear to join the lord!
If the lord is in a hurry to find him, he may arouse his disgust and leave Jingzhou! ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he rejoiced: "Thanks to the guidance of the military advisor, otherwise I would have missed another great talent!" ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The lord only needs to go out of the house more, comfort the people, shush the cold and ask for warmth, let him see, I am sure that he will come to vote for the lord soon." This person has made two suggestions, but he expects me first, and his talent is not inferior to mine, and the lord should act cautiously! ”
"Good!" Liu Bei was excited when he heard Zhuge Liang say this, and agreed to come down.
It's just that Liu Bei didn't know that the master Zhuge Liang said was no less talented than him, and he was his baby pimple son.
And if Liu Chan knew that Zhuge Liang had such a high evaluation of him, he would definitely be happy and couldn't sleep, but Liu Chan also knew that he could get such a high evaluation from Zhuge Liang because of the insight of later generations.
Under the premise that the history of the Three Kingdoms has not changed, Liu Chan can at most compare with Zhuge Liang in terms of strategy and analysis of the situation. But when it comes to political skills, governing the country and the people, marching and fighting, etc., there is a world of difference from Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei poured another glass of wine for Zhuge Liang and asked: "Since the master who instructed Zilong is unwilling to go to Jiaozhou, then he can't send Zilong to go alone. ”
Zhuge Liang groaned: "Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best!" ”
"Maleonn?" Liu Bei groaned when he heard this, and immediately said: "Jian Yong is known for his eloquence, so it is better to send him." Although Ma Liang is famous in Jingzhou, he is too young to ......."
Ma Liang was born in 187 A.D., and now he is only twenty-two years old, Zhuge Liang is fashionable and seventy out of twenty, and Ma Liang is indeed too young at the moment.
Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Jian Yong and others are now middle-aged, and the time to serve the lord is running out. Although Ma Liang is young, in my opinion, he can be described as the leader of the younger generation in Jingzhou, only Jiang Gongyan, Pan Chengming and others can be compared.
However, Jiang Gongyan and Pan Chengming only have the talent to govern politics, and Ma Liang is not only good at politics, but also good at diplomacy. It is not very difficult to send an envoy to Jiaozhou, and the lord should now let young people experience more experience and cultivate young heroes!
Moreover, to go to Jiaozhou, you have to pass through Lingnan, Lingnan is a long way, the climate is changeable and the obstacles are pervasive, ten people enter it, and nine people are sick. Jian Yong is a native of the north, and is more adapted to the climate of Lingnan than the natives of Jingzhou in Maliang. ”
Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and couldn't help but admire: "I only thought of Jian Yong or Ma Liang, who is more suitable, and I don't want the military advisor to think of the problem of training young talents and climate, so let Ma Liang go." Jian Yong is a native of Youzhou like me, and he is not familiar with the changeable climate of Lingnan, so he is indeed not suitable for Lingnan! ”
At this moment, the attendant at the door suddenly reported: "Lord, Jiangdong Lu Meng asks to see!" ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand and muttered, "Lu Meng? He is now a general under Zhou Yu, what is the matter here? ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and muttered: "Now that spring is approaching, I am afraid that Zhou Yu's attack on Xichuan is imminent, and after he leaves, Nanjun will be empty, and he will be worried that the lord will seize Nanjun, and this should be a temptation!" ”
"If Lu Meng is tempted, how will he answer?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "My lord, see what I can do, just go along with it!" ”
Liu Bei nodded and said to the attendant: "Okay, wait in the Lumeng Palace, I'll be there later!" ”
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sorted it out, and then went to the front hall to meet Lu Meng.
In the main hall, a man in his thirties was waiting, he was seven feet three inches tall, his face was dark, and he had been exposed to the wind and sun on the river for many years. Under the chin, there is a circle of less than an inch of beard, neatly combed, and quite heroic.
This person is the third naval governor of Jiangdong, the culprit of the battle of Xiangfan that attacked Nanjun and led to the killing of Guan Yu, Lu Meng!
Lu Meng had an anxious look on his face at the moment, and walked back and forth in the main hall.
