Chapter 135: Huang Qiang returns from Jiangdong

When Liu Chan proposed robbing people today, Xun Chen and Zhuge Liang agreed, but he already disagreed a little. Now the strategy proposed by Xun Chen seems to be just for robbing people.

How could he not have any doubts in his heart?

Xun Chen smiled and said: "Does the general think that I want to build a ship just to complete the young master's plan to rob people?"

"Isn't it?" Guan Yu suspected that this was the reason, and asked with a frown.

When Xun Chen heard this, he couldn't help but put away his smile and sighed with a disappointed look on his face.

After a moment, he said: "Didn't the general think about the future?"

"What happens next? The more Brother Youruo talks about it, the more confused Guan becomes."

Guan Yu couldn't help but feel even more strange when he saw Xun Chen's sudden expression.

"Hasn't the general ever thought of sending troops to Shu for reinforcements?" Xun Chen finally expressed his true thoughts.

When Guan Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed!

He looked at Xun Chen in surprise: "Brother Youruo, what does this mean?"

After Liu Bei entered Shu, letters came every two months describing their situation in Shu.

Now Liu Bei is in Jiameng. He has neither started a fight with Zhang Lu nor fallen out with Liu Zhang.

Although he also believed that Liu Bei should be decisive and decisive, strike first to gain the upper hand, and not just be benevolent and righteous.

But if they send troops to Shu, wouldn't it lead to a break between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang?

Wouldn't this put Liu Bei in a situation where he was attacked from both sides?

Therefore, he was very confused and did not understand why Xun Chen proposed the strategy of "entering Sichuan to help" at this time.

From Guan Yu's surprised expression, Xun Chen got a lot of information, but he was not changed by this information.

He said seriously: "If Sun Quan and Cao Cao really go to war, do you think, General, Sun Quan will ask us for help?"

Guan Yu didn't understand why Xun Chen changed the subject all of a sudden, but he immediately replied: "It goes without saying that Jiangdong and Jingzhou are closely related to each other, and we are an alliance with Mingli. How could he not come to ask for help!"

"So is this an opportunity for General Zuo?"

Xun Chen suddenly returned to Liu Bei's side.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Although Guan Yu had an idea in his mind, he was in no hurry to express it.

Xun Chen said: "An opportunity to win Chengdu in one fell swoop!"

However, Xun Chen did not intend to go around Guan Yu anymore.

If they all pretend not to understand, then what they want to say will never come to fruition.

"But...but would eldest brother do such a thing?"

Guan Yu also expressed his doubts.

It can be said that Liu Bei's characteristics are known to everyone in the world. He pays too much attention to benevolence and righteousness. Can he really launch a surprise attack on Liu Zhang, who is also a member of the Han clan?

Xun Chen smiled and said: "Maybe it didn't happen before, but it's different now!"

"It's hard for me to understand what Brother Youruo said!"

Guan Yu was really confused this time. He didn't know who could change Liu Bei's heart.

Xun Chen smiled and said: "In the past, General Zuo always put benevolence and righteousness first, and it was inevitable that he would have constraints when doing things. But now that we have a young master, it is different!"

"Adou? What can he change?"

Although Guan Yu has seen the magic of Liu Chan, he does not think that Liu Chan can change what Liu Bei has insisted on throughout his life.

Xun Chen smiled and said: "Young Master can change many things, and this is one of them."

He suddenly paused and then said: "Even if the general doesn't believe it for the moment, just think that this shipbuilding is for defense against Jiangdong!"

He suddenly realized that it seemed that Guan Yu was not very optimistic about Liu Chan's ability, and this alone was not enough to convince him.

When Xun Chen said this, Guan Yu's heart suddenly moved.

In his opinion, the so-called "people-stealing plan" is just a try, and "entering Sichuan to provide aid" is something he dare not even think about, but being on guard against Jiangdong is something that must always be done.

Although he always thought that "Jiangdong is full of rats", judging from the current strength, Jiangdong's military strength is far stronger than that of Jingzhou.

What's more, all the elites in Jingzhou are now brought to Jiameng by Liu Bei.

Guan Yu said: "Guan will think carefully about what Mr. Guan said. As for the shipbuilding matter, Guan will start making arrangements tomorrow."

Xun Chen smiled and said: "General, consider this time a test for me!"

He paused slightly and said with a smile: "After all, I haven't contributed anything yet."

When Guan Yu heard this, he was shocked: "Is he really so sure?"

Guan Yu knew Xun Chen quite well, and if he could make Xun Chen say such words, it meant that Xun Chen was fully confident in his heart.



The next day, Qu Feng took Xun Chen's family letter and once again set foot on the road to Yecheng.

Liu Chan continued his 'boring' days that were repeated day after day.

Guan Yu also ordered his soldiers to start building ships continuously.

But Xun Chen was beginning to implement Liu Chan's "people-stealing plan."

Although the plan to snatch people is simple in theory, it is not that simple in practice.

After all, there are four counties and more than 100,000 households. To successfully grab it, the manpower required is unimaginable.

But fortunately, Xun Chen was a capable person in this regard and he made a detailed plan.

Four hundred people were selected from the army and given special training.

Let these four hundred people let the news of "Cao's army drive out the people" spread quietly throughout the four counties in three months.

After ten days of careful arrangements, Xun Chen asked these people to bring money, food, and the "secret weapon" he specially prepared, and embark on the road of becoming a "leading party."

Three days after Xun Chen sent these people out, Huang Qiang also returned to Gong'an City from Jiangdong.

Like Qu Feng, he originally planned to visit Liu Chan first, just because Liu Chan was with Zhuge Liang at this time.

So he went directly to the study where Zhuge Liang was and was waiting quietly outside the door.

"Military advisor, young master, and Colonel Huang Qiang are waiting outside the door. I wonder if they will be summoned immediately."

Under Huang Qiang's instructions, a soldier entered the study and asked Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan for instructions.

At this time, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were studying a new method of using weapons, but because they were just preliminary ideas and did not have an in-depth discussion, they stopped as soon as the soldier came in.

When they heard the news that Huang Qiang was back, the two of them looked at each other and said quickly: "Please invite him in quickly."

Huang Qiang heard the sound, and after the soldier went out, he walked in, smiled and saluted: "Little Huang Qiang, returned from Jiangdong, came here to pay homage to the young master, the military advisor."

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Captain Huang, there is no need to be polite. I will definitely gain a lot from going to Jiangdong this time."

Huang Qiang stood up straight, stepped forward slightly, and said with a serious face: "This time, I have three important things to report to the military advisor and the young master for decision."
