Throughout the first half of Liu Bei's life, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a dog who lost his home, but this does not mean that he is incompetent.

Take some familiar things as an example, in the romance, Liu Bei entered Xinye, and then asked Zhuge to come out of the mountain, and the first thing the latter did after coming out of the mountain was to burn Bowangpo and win a big victory, so as to convince Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who were not convinced, and then Zhuge Liang also officially sat in the position of military advisor.

However, if you calculate the time, you know that it is impossible, the battle of Bowangpo took place in the seventh year of Jian'an, that is, in 202 AD, and the year when Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain was in 207, five years apart, how could Zhuge Liang make a move, the battle of Bowangpo was fought by Liu Bei himself.

Although Liu Bei has had ups and downs along the way, the spirit of Xiaoqiang who is unrelenting and unbeatable is still worthy of recognition, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei has experienced countless wars, large and small, how can he be a mediocre talent who can only cry.

In addition, Zhuge Liang's exit from the mountain is also worth studying.

In 207 AD, Liu Biao's body was getting weaker and weaker, and he was about to die, except for the Cai family, which was closest to Liu Biao, the actual power was the largest, and the other Kuai, Huang, Ma, Pang, Xi, and Yang, a total of seven families formed the seven Jingzhou families that carved up the power of Jingzhou, and they were the most powerful.

And Liu Biao wanted to set up his second son Liu Cong to inherit Jingzhou, not just because he doted on his young son, but because the eldest son Liu Qi, who had no support, could not let these seven families obediently obey their orders. But the second son Liu Cong is different, his biological mother is from the Cai family, and his wife is the niece of the Cai family, and she is still from the Cai family.

Not only that, among the seven Huang families, Huang Chengyan's wife is also from the Cai family, Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao are brothers-in-law, with this relationship, Liu Cong from the Cai family is naturally more likely to get the support of the Huang family.

Aside from the other families for the time being, with these two powerful families, it is enough for Liu Cong to sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jingzhou, but Liu Qi cannot.

In such a situation, Zhuge Liang will naturally have different considerations.

Zhuge Liang's grandfather Zhuge Feng was the captain of Sili and Guanglu doctor, and his father Zhuge Liang was the Cheng of Taishan County, Yanzhou, but unfortunately died young, resulting in Zhuge Liang's five brothers and sisters having to live with their uncle Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Xuan got up early to serve as Yuzhang Taishou, and later defected to Liu Biao to become a subordinate official, which is also the reason why Zhuge Liang stayed in Jingzhou.

As an outsider, when Zhuge Xuan died early, the Zhuge family was actually not very good in Jingzhou. Zhuge Jin was the oldest, and after Zhuge Xuan's death, he traveled to Jiangdong, and served in Jiangdong after breaking through his name, and was deeply used by Sun Quan.

However, in the final analysis, like Jingzhou, there are many Jiangdong families, and it is naturally difficult for an outsider to mix, and reusing Zhuge Jin is also a means for Sun Quan to balance the local family. This aspect is not difficult to see from the story of 'adding words to get a donkey'.

In the story, Zhuge Jin's face is narrow and long like the face of a donkey, so a donkey was brought out during a banquet, and the three words Zhuge Jin were written on his body, and his son Zhuge Ke asked to add two words, and the word donkey was written on the back of the pen, so Zhuge Jin received this donkey as a reward.

This story was originally intended to reflect Zhuge Ke's young intelligence, but it is not difficult to see that Zhuge Jin's life in Jiangdong was not so good.

Yes, Zhuge Liang will not defect to Jiangdong. It is worth mentioning that now Liu Bei will set up his base camp in the public security, and in the future, the public security will change hands, and Zhuge Jin will lead the Nanjun Taishou to garrison the public security.

As for Cao Cao, although he is the most powerful, he is also a talented man, but don't forget that Zhuge Liang is from Xuzhou, and Cao Cao has slaughtered Xuzhou! This alone greatly reduces the possibility of Zhuge Liang defecting to Cao Cao, even if he has no hatred in his heart, he must consider the opinions of the world, after all, the Zhuge clan was once a big clan in Xuzhou. Moreover, Cao Cao has a lot of talents, and it is too difficult for him Zhuge Liang to get through.

As for the other families, Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is peaceful, and several major forces in the Guanzhong region are not fighting, in fact, when later generations look at the Three Kingdoms, it is easy to ignore the Guanzhong here, whether Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou or fights Yuan Shao, what happened in the Guanzhong area with a few ideas? If the forces of this area are integrated early, where will there be other princes and something.

You must know that they have the most elite cavalry, and with the help of the Qiang cavalry with the same combat power, if it really becomes a force, the mighty cavalry will fight over, and the south may be able to block one or two with the help of geographical advantages, and the north, no play!

After all the calculations, Zhuge Liang has no place to invest at all.

Until Liu Biao was about to die, Cao Cao was going south, and Jingzhou was in chaos, Zhuge Liang finally found an opportunity.

That's Liu Bei!

This can't be beaten to death, but anyone who is smart knows that this thing has great ambitions, and it is impossible to defect to Cao Cao again, in other words, Liu Bei is bound to take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.

After a series of turbulent Jingzhou, several of the major families will also reshuffle, there is no better time to jump out in Jingzhou and get an important opportunity, and on the contrary, compared with the old family, such as the Zhuge family, outsiders, but there are certain connections in the local area, and it is also a good object of support, because there is no need to worry about the power is too big and become a big tail.

In other words, from a practical point of view, Zhuge Liang's appearance just catered to Liu Bei's idea of controlling Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was also able to meet Zhuge Liang's needs. Well, maybe this speculation is too dark, isn't it really good to have a good relationship with others?

In any case, in terms of Liu Bei alone, the existence of this manager's tribulation, every decision he makes must be repeatedly scrutinized and stabilized, and his benevolence and reputation must not be missed. After all, after being displaced for so many years, Liu Bei's proud comeback is the image he has created over the years.

In other words, hypocrisy, black-bellied, and ruthless inside, this is the label that Zhou Shaoyu finally set for Liu Bei. It is impossible to be as kind-hearted as it appears on the surface.

There is a point in history that is worth pondering.

In 209 AD, in order to consolidate the alliance between Sun and Liu, Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang married, but it was obviously impossible for the two to work together, Liu Bei wanted to grow, and Sun Shangxiang was determined to Jiangdong.

On the territory of Jingzhou, Sun Shangxiang stirred up the wind and rain and did a lot of things, until three years later, that is, in 211, Sun Shangxiang finally got Liu Bei's only son, Adou Liu Chan, and almost brought it back to Jiangdong to control.

It is worth noting that in 211 AD, it happened to be the time when Liu Bei entered Shu.

So is it possible that in order to stabilize the rear of Jingzhou, Liu Bei specially used this strategy to expel Sun Shangxiang from Jingzhou in disguise without affecting the overall situation of the Sun-Liu Alliance? After all, once Liu Bei leaves Jingzhou, Sun Shangxiang, who is known as the main mother, will be more likely to be unscrupulous if he wants to do things, because with Sun Shangxiang's special identity, it is difficult for others to be arrested, even if they are rude.

According to the previous speculation, it seems that it is very risky to use the only son as bait, but in fact, it is only dangerous, because it is impossible to slaughter Liu Chan and burn it, and Sun Shangxiang, who was finally surrounded, had no other choice than hand over Liu Chan.

Although it is not on the original line of history now, there is an exception of Zhou Shaoyu. Liu Bei's plot to benefit Jingzhou is a fact, and it is inevitable to plan early, and ensuring the stability of Jingzhou is bound to become the first priority. However, Sun Shangxiang has already begun to make things happen, in October, the earth dragon turned over, Sun Shangxiang took the opportunity to hide behind the scenes to remotely control the civil unrest, although it was quickly extinguished, but it is undoubtedly worse, not to mention that there may not be any dark lines developed in private.

It just so happens that there is Zhou Shaoyu, an existence that can probably belong to Cao Cao's side, so it is logical to use this strategy to drive Sun Shangxiang away in advance, and the reason is ......

"No need to run away." Zhou Shaoyu suddenly spoke. "If it is not expected, we must have an ambush ahead."

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Shangxiang obviously hasn't reacted yet.

"But Ji Er, Liu Bei is ruthless, but Liu Chan is an only son after all, he can be ruthless, but how can the people arranged around his son come at will and win over him with a lot of money? Do you think such an important figure as a nurse can be bought so easily? Zhou Shaoyu replied.

Don't underestimate the nurse, the most obvious example in history is the Emperor of the Apocalypse and his nurse Hak, the power of the Hakka family is so great that it can't even cause the queen to have a miscarriage, which shows that the status of the nurse is not so unusual. may be rare or even unique to the point of Hakka, but it is definitely a hidden existence that cannot be ignored.

Such a person can be bought with a lot of money all at once? Are you kidding!

After some explanation, Sun Shangxiang also reacted, his face could be described as very ugly, no one likes to be calculated, his face kept changing, and finally took a long breath and sighed: "After all, I underestimate the heroes of the world, or not, give the order, stop the boat!" ”

In fact, as soon as the order was given, several warships had already been rowed out of the morning fog on the river in front, and the two battle flags fluttering were written with the words 'Zhang' and 'Zhao' respectively, obviously Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were undoubted.

And in the rear, on a large warship, a big flag with the word Liu couldn't be more eye-catching.

Zhou Shaoyu sneered in his heart, this ship was the first to pursue, and Liu Bei was dressed and stood on the bow of the ship, which already showed that all this was prepared, because if it really happened suddenly, it would be impossible to wait for Liu Bei to get dressed and board the ship before starting the pursuit.

"Let's watch a big show, and see how this guy who will go down in history in the future will behave today." Zhou Shaoyu sneered. To be honest, he was also very unhappy in his heart, because Liu Bei had already calculated him into it, don't you believe it? Look at the next step to find out.

Liu Bei's warship approached, and the faces of the two parties became clearer and clearer, only to see Liu Bei's eyes with tears in his eyes, a look of grief and indignation, and he reprimanded the grief loudly from afar.

"Zhou Zijin! In vain, I remembered the grace of the past, treated each other well, and asked myself that there was no half-disadvantage, that is, even the matter of you deceiving my military division at the beginning, Bei also pressed it down, and never thought of you but had evil thoughts in his heart, not only intended to instigate the Sun clan to eliminate the Sun Liu Alliance, but also intended to rob my son Liu Chan! Prepare to drift for half a life, consciously not talented, everywhere, can not bring stability to the people, if it is not for my Han family, for the people of the world and steal life, Bei would have died a long time ago, but the child is innocent!? If Zi Jin wants to prepare the head, Bei Da can offer it with both hands, in order to repay the past grace, and hope that Zi Jin will not embarrass the child. ”

As soon as these words came out, what did you make Liu Bei's subordinates think?

"The lord must not!"

"Never!"

"Lord...... Lord!"

One by one, they all knelt down.

Sun Shangxiang trembled when she heard this, and said angrily: "Shameless! There are such hypocrites in the world! ”

"But if only more people thought he was benevolent, wouldn't it?" Zhou Shaoyu is a matter of course. "Where's Adou? Leave it to me, I'll send it. ”

"No! What if that hypocrite kills the killer! Sun Shangxiang disagreed.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Sun Shangxiang, and said in his heart that this ability is there, but he is still immature, and he is lacking in strategy, shook his head, and said: "No, the reason why Liu Bei acted in such a play is to carry the black pot on me while driving you away logically, only if I leave alive, it is the best interest for him, I die here, and the gains outweigh the losses." It's okay, bring Adou out. ”

Now Liu Chan is no longer a baby, he is more than a year old, but he is just stupid and does not cry or make trouble, obviously not knowing what is happening. It wasn't until Zhou Shaoyu rudely carried it on his shoulders that he cried.

As soon as the boat swayed, Zhou Shaoyu went straight to Liu Bei's boat, ignored the surrounding eyes as if he was going to eat people, and stood in front of Liu Bei.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. You're really good. Zhou Shaoyu looked at this with complicated eyes, this is the founder of Shu who is famous for his benevolence and virtue in later generations. Know that I have no intention of calculating you. ”

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, but his expression remained sad. The meaning of Zhou Shaoyu's words is obvious, that is, it is precisely because Zhou Shaoyu has no other intentions that it is so simple to be calculated by Liu Bei, otherwise how could he fall into the trap, it is not difficult to see from Zhou Shaoyu that Sun Shangxiang decisively stopped the boat, Zhou Shaoyu quickly saw the true intention of today's events.

"I guess a rumor will spread soon." Zhou Shaoyu smiled and whispered: "Senior brother Cao Cao, important strategist Zhou Shaoyu, in order to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance, lured Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Bei's wife, so that he bothered to take Liu Bei's only son away. And Sun Shangxiang thought that he would only bring Liu Chan to Jiangdong, but in fact, I, Zhou Shaoyu, would bring the plan back to the north to sacrifice to Cao Cao. Fortunately, the soldiers under his command were vigilant and found out early and rescued their only son. In this way, the bad guy is Cao Cao, Sun Quan has no face to mention Sun Shangxiang again, and you Liu Bei is always a passive tragic character, what a good plan! But don't you think there's something missing here? ”

Zhou Shaoyu clapped his palms in praise, and didn't expect Liu Bei to respond, so he continued: "In that case, why don't I help you again?" For example, in order to save his only son, Liu Bei risked his life and almost lost his life at the hands of Zhou Shaoyu, but fortunately, the fierce generals under his command were able to survive in time, but Zhou Shaoyu finally escaped with someone and disappeared, how? Isn't this more in line with your expectations? ”

As soon as the words fell, the cold flashed, and Zhou Shaoyu, who was obviously empty-handed, didn't know when he held a sharp sword and put it on the side of Liu Bei's neck.

"Protect the lord!" Chen Dao, Liu Feng, Huang Zhong and others on the side instantly pulled out their sharp blades and were about to strike.

"Stop! Don't be reckless! Liu Bei shouted, looking at Zhou Shaoyu with no different color, he had absolute confidence that Zhou Shaoyu would never kill him.

Sure enough, there are no mediocre people who have done things? Zhou Shaoyu thought so.

Throwing Adou on his shoulder directly to Chen Dao, who was closest to the side, the latter hurriedly threw it to the blade to catch it, and hurriedly retreated to ensure Adou's safety. The corners of Zhou Shaoyu's mouth raised, and a sword cut off a strand of Liu Bei's hair.

"Today's matter is over, farewell here, I think there will be a chance to meet again in the future." Zhou Shaoyu put away his long sword, hugged his fists, and turned to leave.

Liu Bei's face was pale, no matter what, it was definitely a humiliating thing to be cut off his hair, but he still waved his hand and let people go.

On top of the boat, Zhou Shaoyu even took out the guqin and stroked a song, and that tune was the theme tune of the old version of the Three Kingdoms in later generations.

When he re-boarded Sun Shangxiang's warship, Zhou Shaoyu stood at the stern of the boat, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Sun Shangxiang's waist, and chanted loudly: "The Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. Hahahaha, Xuande Gong, your wife and I raise it, take care! ”

Sun Shangxiang saw all this in his eyes, and he admired it in his heart, he went alone, his face did not change his color, and he even dared to cut off Liu Bei's hair directly in front of so many people, even so, Liu Bei still had to let go.

This is a concentrated performance of courage, intelligence, strategy, etc., maybe Liu Bei hates it to the bone, but from Sun Shangxiang's point of view, this performance is simply against the sky, in the words of later generations, pretending to be X to a new height!

It's the day, and there are rumors outside.

Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang was deceived by Cao Cao's younger brother Zhou Shaoyu, thinking that she would control Liu Bei's only son Liu Chan for Jiangdong, but in fact, if she succeeded, she fell into the hands of Cao Cao, but fortunately Liu Bei's soldiers found out in time, and after the chase, there was a bloody battle, Liu Chan was fine, and Liu Bei almost died. As for Zhou Shaoyu and Sun Shangxiang, they are nowhere to be found.

People from all walks of life have different reactions, and at this moment, Zhou Shaoyu is accompanying Sun Shangxiang to return to Jiangdong first.
