Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "In today's world, there are many chaotic wars and princes, which is a typical world of great disputes. But Wang Can's Yizhou has become a climate and cannot be beaten. The major princes in the world, it is almost difficult to compete with Wang Can alone, only by inviting all the princes, acting in a conspiracy, and defeating Wang Can, can there be a glimmer of life. ”

Liu Bei immediately asked: "Sir, the general trend is like this, what should I do?" ”

Zhuge Liang's words just now were very broad, just the general direction, but they were of no use to Liu Bei himself.

Only his own development is what Liu Bei is most concerned about.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "The Han King governs Yuzhou and Yangzhou, benevolence and virtue serve the people, and benevolence and righteousness are widely spread to the people of the two states, and the people's hearts are attached. Even if Cao Cao sent troops to occupy Yuzhou and Yangzhou, Cao Cao was unpopular with the people and looked forward to you killing back. As long as the king of Han waved his arms and led his troops to kill back, he would definitely be invincible. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

Although he came from a poor background, he also learned a lot from Lu Zhi as a teacher. It's not that he doesn't understand military affairs, on the contrary, he is very proficient in military affairs and knows how to march and arrange formations.

However, what Zhuge Liang said was a little unrealistic.

He governed Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and it was true that the people were attached, but could he kill him back? Apparently impossible. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, with tens of thousands of generals, strong strength, and Cao Cao's subordinate generals were also very powerful.

Liu Bei is far worse than Cao Cao.

For now, Liu Bei only has Sun Qian, Jian Yong and Zhang Fei, and the rest of them are not successful at all.

As for Chen Gong, he was arrested by Wang Can not long after following him.

On the other hand, Cao Cao's situation has Li Dian, Yu Ban, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Le Jin, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other fierce generals, as well as Xun Yu, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, Man Chong, Mao Ji and other talented people. Cao Cao's strength is so strong, Liu Bei has no capital to kill it back, and it is a joke to say that he will kill him back.

Liu Bei asked directly: "Sir, there are few generals, there is only one general, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers, how can you defeat Cao Cao?" ”

He didn't hide anything and said it directly.

These words must be made clear and resolved.

Zhuge Liang was calm and confident, and said unhurriedly: "King Han, have you forgotten that there is still the land of Jingzhou?" Liu Biao is the dog of the house, and he is unable to defend Jingzhou. As long as the King of Han gets the land of Jingzhou, raises elite soldiers, accumulates fierce generals, and collects talents, he will definitely be able to create an elite division again. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "With Jingzhou, the King of Han will form an alliance with Sun Wu again, and use Sun Wu's forces to resist the Shu army. At the same time, when Cao Cao marched to solve Yuan Shao, he recaptured Yuzhou and Yangzhou in one fell swoop. When the king of Han owned Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, there should be a chance to revive the Han dynasty. ”

Liu Bei lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, the king of Chu is still here, why is he planning Jingzhou?" Moreover, Cao Cao and Sun Jian both led troops to resist the Shu army, and the two armies have entered Jingzhou, how can we have a chance? ”

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "King Han, Liu Biao is old and frail and sick. Coupled with the sluggish situation in Jingzhou, Liu Biao is worried inside and outside, and his body will definitely not be able to support it. Observing the sky at night, it is speculated that Liu Biao will die soon. As soon as Liu Biao died, Jingzhou would inevitably have civil strife, and the King of Han would lead his troops into Jingzhou again to stabilize the situation, which was the opportunity of the King of Han. ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Biao is just a stepping stone.

After Liu Bei heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at Zhuge Liang, and he was suspicious and a little uncertain, because Liu Bei had only met Liu Biao not long ago and felt that Liu Biao's body was okay.

In a short period of time, Liu Biao will definitely not pass away.

Could it be that Liu Biao is really going to die?

Such a situation made Liu Bei feel embarrassed.

But Liu Bei was exiled in Jingzhou, and he was already a lost dog, and when he reached the point of exhaustion, he had no choice but to believe in Zhuge Liang's speculation. Liu Bei took a deep breath and bowed his hand: "Mr. Zhishen is as deep as the sea, and I am deeply admired." Although the name is meagre and the virtue is thin, please Mr. put the people of the world first, help Liu Bei, and return the people of the world to a bright future. ”

Zhuge Liang immediately excused himself, shook his head and said: "Although Liang has short wisdom, he is just a mountain village man, idle and lazy, I am afraid that he cannot obey orders, please forgive King Han." ”

Although Zhuge Liang already had the idea of Liu Bei, he resigned. Historically, Cao Pi forced Liu Xiechan to concede, and there was a process of resignation and resignation, which was very complicated, which made Liu Xie very embarrassed, and it looked very hypocritical, but it was to show a humble and humble mind, and finally Cao Pi accepted Liu Xiechan's concession.

Zhuge Liang pretended to excuse himself in this way to show his humble side. It may be hypocritical to say this, but it is true for most people, and it is a kind of etiquette that many people acquiesce.

When Liu Bei heard it, he knew that there was a play.

But Liu Bei's eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he bowed his head and said, "If Mr. doesn't come out, what should the people of Li in the world do?" What should we do with the 400 years of the Han Dynasty? I implore Mr. to go out of the mountain, help the Han family, and save the people of Limin. ”

Liu Bei spoke earnestly and very seriously.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "King Menghan will not give up, and Liang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang bowed down to Liu Bei, indicating that he was obedient to Liu Bei.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said, "Liang, meet the lord!" ”

Liu Bei applied for joy, immediately stretched out his hand to help Zhuge Liang, and asked loudly: "Sir, we want to seize Jingzhou, but the more than 10,000 soldiers under my command are still on the front line to resist the Shu army, and we can't be transferred back, we don't have enough troops to deter, even if we enter Xiangyang City, we can't stabilize the situation and deter Xiaoxiao." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and asked, "Does the lord know that Dong Zhuo has just occupied Luoyang, how did he stabilize the situation?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Dong Zhuo is brutal, and the officials dare not resist. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "In the past, Dong Zhuo led the army into Luoyang, but it was only the vanguard army that arrived in Luoyang, and the army was behind, and the troops were insufficient. In order to stabilize the situation, Dong Zhuo let the vanguard army enter the city during the day, and let the vanguard army secretly leave Luoyang City at night. On the second day, the vanguard army was allowed to enter the city, and in the evening they were quietly departed. In this way, the officials and people in the city thought that Dong Zhuo's army was endless and irresistible. When Dong Zhuo's army arrived, the officials found out to no avail. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and said, "Sir, you mean to send a part of the elite soldiers to sneak back secretly." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord is wise, the army is defending against the Shu army in front, and it is impossible to bring all of them back, so only a part of the elite soldiers can be sent back to Xiangyang." When Liu Biao died of illness, the lord immediately led his troops into Xiangyang City to stabilize the situation. The situation in Xiangyang is similar to Dong Zhuo's, but it is different, as long as the lord ascends the throne, everything will go naturally. When the time comes, the lord will win over Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others, and then reorganize the soldiers, stabilize the situation in Xiangyang, and then unite the armies of Cao Wei and Sun Wu, and he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold. ”

Liu Bei's heart was full of excitement, and he arched his hand and said: "Everything, Mr. Lai is planning." ”

Immediately, Liu Bei said: "Sir, I still have to go to the front line, so I left Sun Qian for you to send, and some of the soldiers I brought back are also for you to use." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Lord, there are three generals in front of you to preside over the military, and Zhang Yun and Wen Ping are guarding separately, and you can stabilize the situation for the time being, you only need to excuse yourself and hide your tracks." The current thing is to immediately send a part of the army back to Xiangyang and wait for Liu Biao to die. ”

Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang mention that Liu Biao was dying, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, although Liu Biao is sick, he doesn't look like a dying person." Even if Liu Biao is going to die, we can't be sure of the time. ”

Zhuge Liang said mysteriously: "Rest assured, the day your elite soldiers arrive in Xiangyang is the time when Liu Biao dies. ”

Liu Bei asked, "Really?" ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled: "It must be so!" ”

Liu Bei smiled heartily and said loudly: "Okay, according to Mr.'s words, I will temporarily lurk in Xiangyang." I worship Mr. as a military general, in charge of military and political affairs, and after taking Xiangyang, I will carve the ribbon. ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Thank you, lord!" ”

The two continued to discuss other matters, and kept talking by candlelight.

As for Sun Qian, he had already been thrown out of the clouds by Liu Bei.
