"Wu Guomu went to Yizhou for medical treatment, and because she liked Yizhou Keju, she agreed with Lu Yizhou to make the Jiangdong team compete with the Yizhou team in the near future?"

Such an urgent letter has been circulated in the hands of Zhuge Liang's gang. Compared with the original history that only left Guan Yu in Jingzhou, Liu Bei's main personnel in Jingzhou at this time were Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and then some second-tier figures in Liu Bei's group, Zhang Fei went to Shuzhong with reinforcements two years earlier to reinforce Liu Bei. There is no way, of course, the reinforcements are to be reinforced, but Zhou Yu on Chaisang's side is staring too closely, and Liu Bei can't settle down if he doesn't leave two generals for Zhuge Liang.

By the way, the generals Liu Bei brought when he first entered Sichuan were Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, but because Huang Zhong was abducted to Yizhou by Lu Ren very early, Wei Yan was brilliant under Liu Bei and won Liu Bei's appreciation.

I won't mention these anymore, just say that after the urgent letter turned around in everyone's hands, Guan Yuguan's second brother stroked his beard and snorted lightly, then shook his head slightly: "I thought that the letter sent back in an urgent manner said something big, but it turned out to be just these insignificant things for the fun of the ball game." Strategist, isn't this a bit of a fool? ”

Zhuge Liang has no choice but to take Guan Yu, after all, our second brother's temper is ...... Forget it, this goes without saying, it's all famous in history. Anyway, in general, Zhuge Liang respects Guan Yu and stays away. But then again, if there is really any critical military situation, Second Brother Guan can still cooperate with Zhuge Liang.

It's just that the current situation is an absolute political topic, Guan Yu is almost ignorant of political issues, Zhuge Liang is helpless, but it is necessary to explain this to Guan Yu clearly: "Yun Chang doesn't know, this matter seems to be just a ball game between Lu Ren and Sun Quan, and they play with each other, but the meaning that may be implied in this is by no means as simple as it seems." ”

Guan Yu frowned and asked, "It's just a meeting to play ball, what can it mean?" ”

Zhuge Liang turned one hand behind his back, and the other hand gently shook the signature feather fan, and the person also paced slowly in the hall: "Lu Ren fought two battles in Liaoxi and Liaodong, you have already heard of it, right?" ”

Everyone in the hall nodded in unison. Lu Ren had released a letter to the Gongsun clan of Liaodong as early as last autumn, so all forces were also very concerned about this matter.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Lu Ren's chess game is very big, so what he said in that document is just an excuse for him to plan Liaodong. With Lu Ren's wealth, would he care about the five thousand catties of silver and a dozen Wadao women? As for why Lu Ren is interested in bitter cold places like Liaodong and Liaoxi, let's leave it alone, just say that since Lu Ren wants to move Liaodong and Liaoxi, then Cao Thief in Hebei and Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Lu Ren must be more vigilant. ”

Saying that, Zhuge Liang's gaze drifted to Ma Yan, who was also at the banquet: "Young Chang? ”

The young Ma Tan understood that this was Zhuge Liang's opportunity to show him, so he hurriedly left the table, bowed to everyone and then helped Zhuge Liang explain to everyone: "Lu Ren sent troops from Yizhou to Liaodi, and in the north, he had to worry about Cao Thief's exit from Liaoxi after Lu Ren took Liaoxi, and in the south, he had to worry that the troops in Yizhou would be empty and would be attacked by Sun Quan.

"Especially Sun Quan's side. In fact, the relationship between Lu Ren and Sun Quan is very similar to the relationship between us and Sun Quan, that is, although they are harmonious and intimate on the surface, they are intrigued in secret. If Lu Ren really showed any flaws and was caught by Sun Quan, Sun Quan would not hesitate to send troops to Yizhou and occupy Lu Ren's Yizhou. To tell the truth, with the wealth and prosperity of Yizhou, who in the world is not moved? ”

Everyone nodded in unison. This is the land of Liu Bei Group and Lu Ren, otherwise everyone in Liu Bei Group will want to go to Lu Ren to take a bite.

Guan Yu squinted his phoenix eyes and thought for a moment, and asked, "Everyone already knows this, it's not a strange thing, but what does it have to do with this ball game?" ”

Ma Yan was not easy to answer, but Zhuge Liang took the words: "Lu Ren's time to send troops is very good. If nothing happens now, when Cao Thief fought fiercely in Hanzhong, it would be the day when Lu Ren used troops against Liaodong. Let's put it this way, has Yun Chang ever thought about how good or bad Lu Ren's use of troops against Liaodong is good or bad for us? ”

Guan Yu shook his head. He is good at tactical command and strategic vision...... Not so good to be honest.

Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and said: "In fact, in our opinion, it is best for Lu Ren to send troops to Liaodong, so that Cao Thief's troops can be attracted to Liaodi, that is, when Lu Ren and Liaodong Gongsun are fighting fiercely, Cao Thief sent troops from Hebei to pick up the bargain between Lu Ren and Gongsun. And because of the remoteness of Liaodi, if Cao Thief sends troops from Hebei, it will take at least several months to go back and forth, and Lu Ren's soldiers and horses are not so easy to deal with, so once Cao Thief and Lu Ren have a fight, it will only take longer.

In this way, the main force of the Cao thief will go to Liao and have no power to fight for Hanzhong, on the other hand, the lord will be able to conquer Chengdu and take Shu in a few days. After taking Shu, Hanzhong, as the gateway to the north of Shuzhong, must also be taken as soon as possible, but the lord needs corresponding time. If Cao Thief went to compete with Lu Ren for Liaodi, the lord would have time to prepare calmly, and it would not be difficult to take Hanzhong. It's a pity that Cao Thief is treacherous, between the lord and Lu Ren, or between Shuzhong and Liaodi, Cao Thief still chose to take Hanzhong to the west, and he didn't care about Lu Ren's Liaodi. ”

After this explanation, Guan Yu understood some key points, but a pair of phoenix eyebrows wrinkled even tighter: "In this way, Cao Thief didn't care about Lu Ren's Liaodi move, but it was not good for us?" But the military advisor, I still don't understand what this Wuyi ball game means to us. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Yun Chang doesn't know. Lu Ren picked this time to attack Liaodong, and Cao Thief gave up Lu Ren to fight for Hanzhong after weighing the pros and cons, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a helpless move, but with Cao Thief's personality, would he easily let Lu Ren go, and let Lu Ren attack Liaodong so easily? Therefore, Cao Thief must have secretly provoked Sun Quan, and wanted Sun Quan to take advantage of the gap when Lu Ren's troops sent Liaodong and Yizhou garrison was relatively empty, and provoked Sun Quan to send troops to Yizhou. ”

Guan Yu nodded: "This is a feasible plan." ”

Zhuge Liang turned back to the table at this time, copied the urgent letter that Huang Yueying sent back urgently, and then shook it to Guan Yu: "But Sun Quan is not an idle person, as soon as the intention of scheming Cao Thief arrived in Jiangdong, Sun Quan already saw Cao Thief's intentions. Sun Quan is adjacent to Yizhou and knows a lot about Yizhou, and although Lu Ren used troops in Liaodong, Yizhou's defense has never been relaxed, so where can Sun Quan take it if he wants to? Once he tears his face with Lu Ren and falls into the deep swamp again, Jiangdong's trouble will be big, not only will Yizhou not be able to take it at that time, but Sun Quan's original preparations in other aspects will also be greatly affected, such as Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of horses stationed in Chaisan and Baqiu, if they don't work, they will have to be transferred to the coastal battlefield. ”

Saying that, Zhuge Liang smiled a little helplessly: "Actually, in my opinion, I really hope that Sun Quan and Lu Ren will tear their faces and fight, because then Jingzhou can reduce a lot of pressure, and even send more reinforcements to reinforce the battle of the lord to take Sichuan, and strive to take Shuzhong and Hanzhong as soon as possible." It's a pity that Sun Quan didn't fall for this. ”

Putting the urgent letter back on the table, Zhuge Liang continued: "Sun Quan's generation of male lords has seen these things very clearly, and at the same time, he also understands that at this time, if he just sends ordinary envoys, it is not enough to win Lu Ren's trust, so in the end, he actually invited Wu Guomu to come forward to Yizhou. And Lu Ren himself didn't want to fall out with Sun Quan and make Liaodong's strategy fail, so he was also courteous to Wu Guomu. Now the two sides are taking the opportunity to bring up the matter of this ball game, in fact, to inform the world that Sun Quan and Lu Ren are intimate, and don't play any more provocative tricks against them. And as soon as this incident comes out, Zhou Yu, who is close to us, will have no worries, and the oppression of our Jingzhou will be heavier day by day. Yun Chang, I've said so much, you should understand the gravity of what is said in this letter by now, right? ”

Guan Yu nodded. Arrogance is arrogance, and Guan Yu is still clear in terms of major events. After thinking about it for a while, Guan Yu asked: "The military advisor, Lu Ren and Sun Quan used this matter to show friendship to the world, which eliminated Cao Thief's idea of provoking, and also allowed us to strengthen our defense against Zhou Yu while not seeing the battle between Jiangdong and Yizhou, so that's all there is to it, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Generally speaking, that's it. But I'm worried that the relationship between Jiangdong and Yizhou will become closer and closer because of this small ball game, and then gradually become more and more estranged from us. And then at a certain point, Lu Ren will shrink or even simply sever the relationship with us. At that time, we will lose Lu Ren, a foreign aid, and we will also lose an elbow to Sun Quan, and then Sun Quan will be able to deal with us with all his strength. Yun Chang, you should understand that Sun Quan and us are just at odds with each other, and we have not used Lu Ren to contain Sun Quan. Doesn't Sun Quan understand this in his heart? ”

No one in the room said anything. Over the years, how much benefit has Liu Bei Group gained from trade with Lu Ren, which of the people here will not know the bottom of their hearts? Especially some of the things that Huang Yueying fished from Lu Ren...... Oh, and mostly referring to steam engine technology. Huang Yueying has been learning this in Yizhou for two years, although she has not fully learned the hand, but Huang Yueying's talent in physics and machinery is not a joke.

Especially after Huang Yueying got some basic theoretical knowledge, she carried out a series of development and improvement according to her own knowledge, and made some things that should be said to be in line with the social and productive forces conditions at that time.

And what Huang Yueying came up with, of course, someone sent it to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang will naturally do it according to the situation, who made these two couples have the ability to do this? It's just that the basic industry in Jingzhou is not up to standard, and Zhuge Liang can't make any decent things, otherwise I really don't know what to say.

But there is one, Lu Ren's railway line between Shaoguan and Guiyang has been almost built after more than two years, and what is left is just some finishing works on the side, in fact, the Shaogui railway has been officially opened and operated a few months ago.

A distance of several hundred miles, although the capacity of the current locomotive is not very large, at most ten carriages...... Oh, it's not a modern carriage, because Lu Ren can't make such a big locomotive yet. To be precise, the locomotive used in Yizhou now is roughly the same as the small locomotive during the development of the western part of the United States, and the carrying capacity is just like that, and the carriage on which it is hung is actually only about half of the modern wagon, that is to say, the ten carriages mentioned here are only equivalent to the modern four to five wagons, but the road of hundreds of miles can be done in one or two hours, and it can be a steady stream of people who do not work hard. And if this thing is really mastered, how much impact will it have on the military auxiliary role of the various forces?

Therefore, at this time, Liu Bei Group attaches great importance to the exchanges with Lu Ren. In case something really happened to Sun Quan, and Lu Ren gradually alienated himself from the relationship with Liu Bei Group, it would definitely not be something that Liu Bei Group was willing to see, not to mention that Liu Bei Group now attaches the most importance to expanding the army, and it is too necessary to buy a large amount of materials from Lu Ren.

There was silence in the hall for a while, thinking about how to deal with Sun Quan's move this time, and further consolidate the relationship between Liu Bei's group and Lu Ren. And after a long silence, Zhao Yun, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "It's better to ...... Let's send a team to participate in it? Whether it's going to Yizhou or Jiangdong, let's send a team to mix, at least we can show the world that our relationship with Lu Ren is still very good. Strategist, what do you think? ”

To be honest, Zhao Yunkai's mouth is a way that has no choice, to put it mildly, even if he loses dozens of people in a team, it will be like that, and it will not have the slightest impact on the military consortium or anything. The most important thing is nothing more than that this attitude still has to be expressed, just let Lu Ren know that Liu Bei Group attaches great importance to the relationship with Lu Ren, and by the way, let Sun Quan not think so beautifully.

However, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up after hearing this. It's not that Zhuge Liang couldn't think of this method, but Zhuge Liang stared at the general direction, so he ignored this kind of small plot. This is like saying that the boss of a large group company often thinks only of the business list with such and such a group, but does not pay much attention to some small social activities between the two companies.

"Zilong's words are very good! What we need now is nothing more than to let Lu Ren know that we also attach great importance to our dealings with him, and at the same time make Sun Quan unable to provoke the relationship between us and Lu Ren, so sending a team to join in the fun, which is both convenient and convenient, and does not need to spend any energy, why not? And in terms of the superficial relationship, we also have an alliance relationship with Jiangdong, and we have always been friendly with Yizhou, so they have this kind of excitement, and it is completely reasonable for us to send a team to join in the fun, and Sun Quan has no reason to refuse our team to go to them. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts said, "What is this?" The military affairs are actually settled with this small team and ball game? This is Lu Ren is not here, otherwise Lu Ren would say that this is not considered a "football diplomacy" accidentally put together in this era?

Thinking so, some people were a little embarrassed and said: "It's just that although we have heard about the Keju event in Yizhou, we don't know much about the corresponding gameplay and planning." Since it is based on the rules of the Yizhou ball game, we must always know and practice it. However, it is inconvenient for us to communicate with Yizhou, and it will take at least some time to get the news, plus the time for this drill......"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "This is not difficult. There are a lot of businessmen in Yizhou who come to Jingzhou, and because the Yizhou ball game is very popular with the people of Yizhou, these people know the gameplay and rules very well, and they can find it by looking for it casually. ”

said that, Zhuge Liang remembered a few other letters sent by Huang Yueying. Those letters are written with some anecdotes about Yizhou, mainly for Zhuge Liang as a reference to the folk customs of Yizhou, now that I think about it, it seems that there is a detailed introduction to Yizhou football. It's just these things, Zhuge Liang is really embarrassed to say it, after all, it is all a letter written by Huang Yueying to Zhuge Liang, and there will inevitably be some words such as "Husband, I miss you...... Where do you say Zhuge Liang is embarrassed to take out such a letter for everyone to see!? What's more, Zhuge Liang has to go back to the room to find it! If this is a large stall of husband and wife letters and let everyone help find it, God knows what kind of joke will come out!
