"Kong Ming, during this solitary expedition, you will be solely responsible for maintaining peace in the rear and raising ordnance, grain and other logistical supplies as soon as you are stationed in Chengdu."

Liu Bei was also a decisive person. Since he had already made a decision, he spoke quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang held the feather fan in both hands, his face was blank, and he accepted the order with his hands raised: "Liang obeys the order!"

This is also following the rules.

In the previous Hanzhong War, when Liu Bei personally conquered Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang was also responsible for the affairs of General Zuo's Mansion, responsible for stabilizing the rear and allocating weapons and supplies to feed his troops.

From then on, whenever Liu Bei himself left Chengdu, he basically designated Zhuge Liang to stay behind.

Zhuge Liang is used to this.

However, this is also related to his superior ability in internal affairs, his ability to balance the various factions under his control and manage all affairs in an orderly manner.

"Zi Chu, you will also stay in Chengdu to assist Kong Ming in handling government affairs."

"Here!"

Liu Basui also bowed his hands and accepted the order.

There was no trace of resentment in his expression.

Although he had always wanted to submit to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, who despised the status of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had been running away to various places, but it had no effect at all, and he still met him after all.

After the Battle of Chibi, Cao's army was defeated and returned to the north. Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to regain the four counties in Jingnan. Liu Ba fled to Jiaozhou to hide, and later surrendered to Liu Zhang's banner in Yizhou.

But Bashu was finally pacified by Liu Bei.

I ran away here and there, but I still couldn't escape the palm of my hand.

Liu Ba also gave up treatment, not only to put what he had learned in his life into practice, but also to realize his inner ambition.

Now I feel more at ease assisting Liu Bei.

Especially following Zhuge Liang in handling government affairs, he felt very happy and relaxed both physically and mentally.

Putting aside the fact that Zhuge Liang had to do everything himself, the main reason was that he was so efficient in doing things.

This is also a change from the previous situation where Yizhou officials were bloated and greedy for pleasure during the Liu Zhang period.

Now under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, one word to describe it is "volume!"

Roll up a piece,

With the appointment of candidates to stay behind.

Immediately, the counselor Fazheng seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately raised his hand and suggested, "Since the Cao family has invaded Hanzhong on a large scale, it is also a good opportunity for our army to break the situation!"

"Your Majesty, prepare early!"

"Oh? Xiaozhi has any good ideas, please tell me quickly?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei asked with a look of great joy on his face.

"I just thought that when our army sends troops to Hanzhong, we can send people to Jingzhou to discuss with General Guan and order him to act according to the opportunity. If there is an opportunity to fight, we can send troops to attack the Cao family."

"Your Majesty has given General Guan the right to take holidays. I think with his ability, I will be able to understand your thoughts."

Fazheng cupped his hands and said slowly.

"When he was in Longzhong in the past, Kong Ming also planned for Gu a strategic plan that if there were changes in the world, he would order a general to lead the troops from Jingzhou out of Wan and Luo, and Gu would personally lead the troops out of Qinchuan."

"Instruct Yun Chang to rectify the army and horses, and take advantage of the opportunity to advance northward. This strategy is feasible!"

"I'm so alone!"

Liu Beisui also spoke softly and solemnly approved it.

Of course, there are also elements of Fa Zheng's advice.

Since Pang Tong was transferred to Jingzhou to assist Guan Yu, Liu Bei has increasingly favored him for his various opinions and suggestions on military strategy!

Fa Xiaozhi's status has also skyrocketed, playing a decisive role in his heart.

As long as Fa Zheng makes suggestions, he rarely refuses to accept them.

Seeing that Liu Bei had adopted the strategy of legalization, Zhuge Liang on one side also raised his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, Liang thinks that the foundation of the Cao family is still weak if we rely solely on the strength of our army."

"It is better to let General Guan send his envoys to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, to send troops together."

"If the Sun family can send troops to Hefei, they will be powerful in the Jianghuai area."

"With Cao Cao and his thieves being attacked on three sides, the success rate of our army's strategy of leaving the Qinling Mountains and conquering Guanlong will inevitably increase to a great extent."

Even though Lu Su, who maintained the alliance between Sun and Liu, has passed away, Zhuge Liang still has the overall situation in mind and knows that before completely weakening the power of the Cao family, he is determined not to cause the two families to fall into division and fight against each other.

The Cao family is dominant and can only be overthrown by working together. If the two families are divided, given time, they will be defeated one by one by the enemy.

Why was Lu Zijing's strategy of advocating an alliance between Sun and Liu to resist Cao able to be realized?

The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang also has the ambition to make progress in the Central Plains.

He and Lu Su had the same ideals. Before driving Cao's power to the north bank of the Yellow River, the two families had no choice but to unite.

It was precisely for this reason that when he heard that Fazheng was about to suggest that Guan Yu's army in Jingzhou take the opportunity to go north to expand the situation, he also took the opportunity to propose that he win over the Sun family to join him in the northern expedition to contain the enemy.

"This strategy of the military advisor is feasible. If Sun Quan is willing to join the Northern Expedition, then the combined efforts of the two families will definitely make Cao Cao's thieves fearful."

After finishing speaking, Huang Quan on the side analyzed calmly: "It's just that Lu Zijing, who mediated the relationship between the two families, died of illness a year ago. Now the person who takes over his garrison at Lukou is Wu General Lu Meng."

"It was this man who sent troops to attack several counties in Jingnan four years ago. It is said that Lu Meng often secretly presented his plans to Sun Quan and begged him to lead his troops to conquer Jingzhou again."

"I'm afraid that Mr. Sun is not willing to agree to our request to attack Hefei together."

"even……"

Huang Quan even hesitated for this last word for a long time, as if hesitating deep in his heart for a long time, before he solemnly said:

"I am even worried that Sun will pretend to agree to our request and pretend to be suspicious of troops outside Hefei to confuse our army. In fact, he is secretly planning to attack again while General Guan is heading north and when our rear in Jingzhou is empty.

.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the side hall fell into a brief silence.

As expected, everyone was silent.

Huang Quan is openly questioning the reliability of the Sun and Liu alliance!

However, Liu Bei is not someone who will arbitrarily punish others. In addition, this is a time when his core think tank is expressing its own opinions, so they will not blame him.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei, who was at the top, still showed a kind face and chuckled:

"Gong Heng's words are not unreasonable!"

"Jiangdong started an undeclared war several years ago in an attempt to conquer our land of Jingchu."

"If Yunchang's troops move north this time, there is no guarantee that the Wu army downstream will not take the opportunity to attack."

Having said that, Liu Bei stared at Zhuge Liang on one side for a long time, and then asked: "Has the military counselor ever considered this?"

"Joining the Sun family to march together is naturally a risk."

Zhuge Liang first explained, and then calmly analyzed: "But now that we have not yet captured the Guanzhong and Liangzhou areas, if we break with the Sun family and fight against each other, the situation will be unfavorable for us with enemies on both sides!"

"What's more, Cao Cao's power is so huge that our army alone can't compete with it!"

"As for such risks, Liang believes that with Pang Shiyuan's location, Jingzhou's safety should be carefully guarded and there should be no serious problems."

In one word,

Liu Bei also fell into deep thought.

Zhuge Liang had just analyzed it very clearly. In terms of the current general trend of the world, it is necessary to fight against the Cao family's alliance, but it will naturally involve certain risks.

At this moment, the four of them remained silent in perfect agreement, quietly waiting for Liu Bei to make a decision.

After all, the matter of Lian Sun was related to the country. They made this suggestion but had to follow Liu Bei's decision.

Otherwise, they will not be responsible for any changes in the future.

It seemed that after thinking for a long time, Liu Bei finally made a decision.
Chapter completed!
