Liu Bei's head suddenly became bigger, if Sun Quan would rather die in the country, and really defected to Cao Pi to attract Wei soldiers, the two forces joined forces, even if Zhuge Liang was there, plus a neutral little fourth brother, there was no certainty of victory at all.

What should I do now, I can't beg Sun Quan for mercy, right? Liu Bei looked bitter and sighed: "Alas, I will say that Sun Zhongmou's intention to join Wei is true, but some people don't believe it." ”

"King Wu's attachment to Wei is really an expedient measure. Cao Pi usurped the throne, the public enemy of the world, and signed this contract this time, which was actually caused by the persecution of the saints, not what King Wu wanted. Gu Yong sighed complainingly, which made Liu Bei feel quite guilty.

To fight or not to fight? Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind for a while, and looked at Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang pretended not to see it, with an attitude that he didn't want to make up his mind at all.

Ahem, Liu Bei coughed a few times at Zhuge Liang, blinked his eyes and hinted, Zhuge Liang pretended to be confused, and respectfully brought a cup of tea to Liu Bei to moisten his throat.

Liu Bei was anxious, pushed the tea aside, and complained: "Prime Minister! Let's talk to Mr. Gu and find a solution. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a cold face: "Gu Gong, Dongwu did not seek peace with us in advance, but went to Cao Pi first, which is insincere!" This move will inevitably lead to a defeat for both sides, and it is precisely because of Wu Wei's alliance that our side will take Jingzhou to decide the future troubles. ”

One of the reasons why Sun Quan and Liu Bei refused to let go was that Jingzhou was a gateway to both sides, which would pose a threat to each other, and no contract could be truly binding.

If there was still a trace of hesitation about Jingzhou in the past, then now this situation is that no one can retreat, and they must fight.

Gu Yong secretly praised Cai Wenji for seeing the problem thoroughly, and after a long time, he finally spoke: "King Wu has a trade-off strategy, if it is adopted, then the two sides will withdraw their troops, if the saint does not allow it, they can only continue to fight again." ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Liu Bei nodded.

"In this war, there is someone who is close to the flames of war, but he stays out of the matter and does not ally with any party, can the Holy One know this person?" Gu Yong asked.

"My brother Hanxing Wang Baoyu also!" Liu Bei reacted immediately, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"What the saint said is true, it is Wang Baoyu, the son-in-law of Jiangdong." Gu Yong immediately emphasized, and it was difficult to hide a touch of smugness in his expression.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched and he didn't speak, this is also an indisputable fact, Wang Baoyu married Sun Shangxiang, who is Jiangdong's son-in-law, otherwise, how could he stay out of the matter?

"When you and I were fighting, Sima Yi once profited from it, but was repelled by King Hanxing, which shows that he is of the same heart as us." Gu Yong continued.

"Baoyu has the ambition to restore the Han family, which is admirable." Liu Bei praised.

At this time, praising Wang Baoyu was not the goal, Gu Yong finally said the true intention of this trip, "King Wu's intention, you and I will each cede the city, and the king of Hanxing will be under the leadership, independent of both sides." In the land of Jingzhou, the war is isolated, so that both sides can rest assured. ”

Such an argument was beyond Liu Bei's expectations, and he couldn't help but ask: "Sun Zhongmou wants to give Jingzhou to Baoyu?" ”

"The saint is pressing step by step, and King Wu is unwilling, if he can't do this, what can he do?" Gu Yong said helplessly.

Liu Bei's mind couldn't turn for a while, how could he fight back and forth, both sides lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and no one took a big advantage, and in the end, it was his little brother who claimed to be unmixed with everything got the biggest benefit?

No, no, it can't be such an algorithm, it must be something wrong with it, let me start from the beginning, Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered, starting from the Battle of Yiling, and analyzed it all over again.

Gu Yong was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for Liu Bei to think clearly, but unfortunately Liu Bei couldn't figure it out anyway, and looked at Zhuge Liang again, Zhuge Liang still drank tea leisurely as if he hadn't heard it.

Ahem, Liu Bei coughed again to remind, lest Zhuge Liang pretend to be stupid, and handed over another cup of tea, Liu Bei simply beckoned him to leave, and said to Gu Yong: "Let's discuss, Mr. wait." ”

"Prime Minister, this matter is big, why don't you speak, don't you have a complaint about me in your heart?" When he came to the back, Liu Bei immediately asked.

"The minister didn't dare to speak, lest the saint be suspicious." Zhuge Liang said frankly.

"I already know the prime minister's heart, and I will never doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Liu Bei urged.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

Zhuge Liang said, kneeling down and bowing. Liu Bei was even more puzzled, and helped Zhuge Liang up, "Prime Minister, what is the joy?" ”

"There is no need for a big war, and the saint will win Jingzhou, which is a happy event."

"How did you get Jingzhou? Didn't you say you wanted to give Baoyu? Liu Bei felt that his brain was not enough.

"Baoyu regards the saint as his brother, if he gets Jingzhou, his land will belong to us, but unfortunately Sun Quan calculated in every possible way, but he did not guess Baoyu's heart." Zhuge Liang smiled relaxedly.

"Baoyu really wants me?"

"What else else?"

Liu Bei suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "I forgot about it, Baoyu just sent a secret letter, and I am willing to bring Yiling and other places under my court." ”

"I really didn't know that Baoyu actually had such a heart, it is really a blessing of the saints." Zhuge Liang complimented.

"In this way, you promised Sun Quan?" Liu Bei asked.

"Don't miss the opportunity!"

"According to this, if Sun Quan gives up Jingzhou and other places, it will be convenient for me to drive all the way to Jiangdong." Liu Bei said excitedly.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, when Baoyu is stable in Jingzhou, Sun Quan and Cao Pi turn against each other, then Baoyu can not hold Jingzhou as the reason, let go of Jingzhou territory, our army is stationed, Jiangdong is about to die!" Zhuge Liang said confidently.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, this was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, and he wanted to go back and discuss it with Gu Yong again, but due to excessive excitement, his head was a little dizzy, and sleepiness hit him again, and he hurriedly said: "The prime minister can confirm this matter with Gu Yong." ”

Liu Bei went back to sleep, Zhuge Liang came out with Gu Yong to determine the plan for the delivery of Jingzhou in detail, several disputes, full of gunpowder, the two sides argued, and finally, the agreement to strike the troops was determined.

Jiangdong withdrew all the troops and horses in Jingzhou, including the four counties of Jingnan, a total of seven counties, and Liu Bei's side ceded the five county towns of Dangyang, Zigui, Yidao, Linfu and Baidi, all of which were handed over to Wang Baoyu.

"I'm still here, why did the White Emperor return to Baoyu?" Liu Bei saw this agreement and frowned.

"Baoyu is affectionate, and the saint can live here for a long time, and then take Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang said.

"Is there something wrong?" Liu Bei didn't feel at ease.

"Because of this, we can prove to Jiangdong that Baoyu is independent of right and wrong!" Zhuge Liang still added: "Holy Lord, a God-given opportunity!" ”

In the end, Liu Bei still signed and sealed, completing the strangest agreement in history. Subsequently, this agreement was sent to Yiling and handed over to Wang Baoyu.
