Zhuge Liang's words made Liu Bei confused, "What does this mean, military advisor?"
"I heard that Sun Zhongmou has a sister who is very young and beautiful. My brother and Sun Youtai must not be here for new adventures, but to observe the lord." Zhuge Liang laughed heartily.
"Bei is nearly half a century old, and Sun Zhongmou's sister is young. An Hui would do such a ridiculous thing? Why should the military advisors make fun of each other..." Liu Bei looked surprised.
Zhuge Liang: "A sword is given to a hero, and a beauty is paired with a hero. How can a hero like my lord be ridiculous?"
"Is there any basis for what the military advisor said?" Liu Bei asked.
"Sun Youtai has a high status in Jiangdong but has no intention of serving as an official. Why do you think this opposition man suddenly appeared?" Zhuge Liang asked back.
"This...maybe..."
"Jiangdong is coming to deliver Xinye. My eldest brother can come here alone. Sun Youtai must be taking the exam for the lord of the clan."
Liu Bei was not a stupid person. After Zhuge Liang said this, he also felt that it was very possible, but he was not happy but became worried.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang was confused: "Young beauty, yearning for heroes, this is a blessing, why is my lord unhappy?"
"As the military advisor said, given the Sun family's status in Jiangdong, Miss Sun will definitely fill the position of head wife when she gets married. This marriage may not be a good thing..." Liu Bei expressed his worries.
Zhuge Liang was so smart that he immediately understood the connection. Liu Bei originally loved Gan, but because of his humble background, he did not marry him as his official wife.
Now that Gan Qian has given birth to a child, the most important thing to continue Liu Bei's bloodline is the blue jade. If there is any resentment in her heart because of this, it will be a small loss.
The importance of Lantian to Liu Bei seems to be far more important than that of Sun Liu Lian at present.
"Ziyu is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth. Liangqin can go to Quanling to persuade him on behalf of his lord. I believe that with his strategic vision, he will understand." Zhuge Liang suggested.
Liu Bei shook his head: "Let's wait a moment. This is all speculation by military advisors. What if Sun Zhongmou doesn't have this intention?"
"Okay, please send a letter to Yunchang, my lord, asking him to hand over Xinye to Zhou Yu, and then withdraw to Jiangxia to rest." Zhuge Liang continued.
"The original plan was for Zhou Yu to capture Xiangfan, and Yunchang to capture Wancheng in Nanyang. This way, they could complement each other and achieve the Northern Map of the Central Plains. I didn't expect that Xiangyang would be so difficult to attack, and Wancheng would be so difficult to attack..." Liu Bei sighed.
"It is not easy to attack a dangerous city. Xiangyang's geographical location is more dangerous than Jiangling. Zhou Gongjin's naval force is indeed powerful, but it is not enough in terms of siege warfare. I told Yun Chang before he left that Wancheng can be captured.
If we can't capture it, we won't attack it by force. We must conserve our strength and use it to capture Yizhou in the future." Zhuge Liang explained.
Liu Bei was stunned, "Does this count as cheating Zhou Yu?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Master, please don't blame yourself. We are just doing what we can. Yun Chang only has 10,000 old and weak sailors. Even if Yuan Zhi later joins forces with him, the strength is only more than 10,000. He can help Zhou Yu
On the Juebei Road, it is not easy to block Xu Du's reinforcements. Li Tong and Wenpin are both famous generals in the world."
Liu Bei nodded in affirmation: "During Liu Jingsheng's period, Wen Zhongye visited Nanyang and was very familiar with it. I didn't expect Cao Cao to appoint him to guard Wancheng. But now that there are sufficient supplies, if the second brother goes all out, he will be able to conquer Nanjun."
.”
"As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters. Cao Mengde is still very employable. Even if General Guan captures Nanjun, he still has to give it to Jiangdong. According to Ziyu, we will not do a loss-making business. If we really want to fight bloody battles like Liu Pan and Cheng Pu, for
My lord, the big events in the future are not worth it." Zhuge Liang said.
"I just think that if we take Jiangling, if Zhou Yu can't take Xiangyang, we can trade him with Nanyang. With Jiangdong guarding the north to resist Cao Cao, we can also develop in Jingzhou with peace of mind." Liu Bei also had his own ideas.
"Jiangling was captured by the eldest son, and has nothing to do with us. We must remember this. The lord knows the position of Nanyang very well. Even if Yunchang takes Wancheng, Zhou Yu cannot hold it. On the contrary, Xinye can advance and retreat through the Jianghan waterway.
, this will slowly encroach on Xiangfan." Zhuge Liang analyzed.
"Then I will repair the book immediately, let the second brother and Zhou Yu hand over the new field, and call the third brother back by the way. We haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, and we miss him very much..." Liu Bei sighed.
Zhuge Liang smiled leisurely: "I'll be back just in time for my lord's happy event."
Liu Bei:...
When Zhuge Jin and Sun Jing returned to Wu County, they both praised Liu Bei. Sun Shangxiang chose a husband that he was satisfied with. After returning, he did not go out again and hid in his boudoir to wait for marriage.
Sun Quan sent Lu Fan to Jiangxia to act as a matchmaker. Zhou Yu besieged Xiangyang for half a year without success. After Guan Yu handed over the new territory to him, he led his army to station in the county town to rest and recuperate, intending to spend time with Xiangfan.
Although Zhou Yu retreated north to Xinye, Jiangdong's warships still cruised back and forth between the Han River and Dan River every day, cutting off the connection between Xiangfan and the Central Plains.
Jiangdong's naval force was famous in Chibi. Cao's army still had some strength left in the land battle outside Xiangyang City, but it was really just a fish and turtle in the river. Zhou Yu's warships not only cruised north and south in Danshui and Hanshui, but even sailed to the west.
Block Cao Ren's path.
After Zhou Yu withdrew his troops, the pressure on Xiangyang was slightly reduced.
Cao Ren was worried that Zhou Yu would first pull out Fancheng north of the Han River. When the warships crossed the river and looked across the river, Xiangyang City would really become a place of death.
Cao Ren left Le Jin and Manchong to guard Xiangyang, while he and Xu Huang were at the northern foot of Jingshan Mountain. Taking advantage of the absence of the patrol boat at night, Cao Ren secretly crossed the river and garrisoned Fancheng.
Lu Fan came to Jiangxia to act as a matchmaker. Although Liu Bei was surprised by Zhuge Liang's ability, he seemed relatively calm. He asked Sun Qian and Jian Yong to accompany him, and secretly sent Zhuge Liang to Quanling to inquire about Lantian's intentions.
Lantian is now supervising the four counties of Jingnan, Jiangxia, and Xinye for Liu Qi. He has more money and food, and he is already a close official under Liu Bei's account. If he has a grudge, Liu Bei will not hesitate to choose between the country and the beauty.
former.
In May, the sun was warm and Zhuge Liang came by boat.
When we arrived at the Quanling Prefecture, Lan Tian was nowhere to be seen. The doorman pointed to an inconspicuous gate opposite and said, "The prefect has been here recently."
Zhuge Liang curiously walked to the other side of the street and found a wooden plaque hanging on the door, with the three official Chinese characters of Quanling Academy carved by the generals.
Zhuge Liang was about to enter when he was stopped by a soldier: "This is an important place in the school. Please don't enter unless you have permission. I think you two are well-dressed. Are you here to meet someone or on business?"
Zhao Yun was not in Jiangxia at this time, so Liu Bei asked Chen Dao to accompany Zhuge Liang to Quanling.
"May I ask if Governor Lan is here?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"Who are you?" This gatekeeper came from the trapped camp. He didn't know Zhuge Liang or Chen Dao. When he opened his mouth to see the top leader of Quanling, he had to be wary.
"Don't ask any more questions." Chen Duo held his sword in his hand and glared angrily, thinking to himself, you are a little servant, who gave you such authority?
The soldier was neither humble nor arrogant. Although Chen Dao was intimidating, he was not afraid at all. At this time, people in the courtyard shouted: "Who is making noise outside in this important place of the school?"
