"Let's drink first today and then talk about state affairs after drinking!"
Liu Bei said with a smile.
He has no interest in fighting Tianzhu, and even if he wants to fight, he is not in a hurry.
He himself is not a Buddhist, and there are very few Buddhists in Western Shu, so Liu Bei doesn't care much about the so-called internal strife among Buddhists.
Could it be that the Buddhas in the Pure Land of the Western Heaven are real and will they be of any benefit to Shu?
Despite Liu Bei's appearance, Li Yu estimated in his mind that they had already made preparations. Maybe they had already made up their minds and were waiting for him to come.
Li Yu looked at Jiang Wei as if asking for help, and the latter grinned at him.
Li Yu nodded, feeling more confident.
If the Shu Kingdom sends troops to sweep across Tianzhu, it will be easy to cut off the incense in the west.
These fierce generals and elite soldiers of Shu Han can be considered useful.
After half-drinking, Li Yu saw that Liu Bei and others were drunk again. Li Yu quickly said: "Your Majesty, how about the Western Expedition?" Liu Bei pointed to Zhuge Liang on the side and said with a smile: "You should discuss this matter with the Prime Minister."
Li Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, who smiled slightly.
Li Yu picked up his seat, walked to Zhuge Liang's table, poured him a glass of wine and asked, "Prime Minister?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Our original intention is the Central Plains. The westward expedition to Tianzhu is an extraneous branch. It seems insignificant, but in fact it involves too much. If you want to play small chess, you need to look at the whole picture. After the last battle in Bianliang, why did the Heavenly Court cease to exist? You
Do you know?"
Li Yu pondered for a moment. He had been thinking about this question for a long time, almost every night.
So when Zhuge Liang asked this question, Li Yu hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Heavenly Court did not continue to send troops, and the Six Dynasties did not completely cut off the people's support and incense to the Heavenly Court gods. They were maintaining this balance, and they were unwilling to completely tear it apart.
Broken Face, prefers to find agents from the human world to slowly overthrow our fragile alliance.
Zhuge Liang had a look of approval in his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "Almost.
He picked up a chopstick, put it horizontally on his finger and said: "This is the relationship between the human world and heaven. Just like this chopstick, it seems to be very stable, but in fact it will fall off at any time. If we conquer Tianzhu to the west, we may fall off.
To upset this balance.”
Li Yu was anxious and was about to refute, but Zhuge Liang did not give him this chance, but continued: "But since Heaven is looking for someone to disrupt the situation, we can't do nothing. You are right, they are here
Finding someone to replace them to restore their previous absolute hegemony is their attack. We want to conquer Tianzhu westward, which is our attack."
Li Yu nodded quickly and said: "Yes, the Pure Land of the West has a great relationship with the Heaven. If we can capture the West, one will lose the other!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Since you have seen this clearly, then it is absolutely not possible for Shu to send troops alone. The six dynasties must discuss it unanimously. They all agree and discuss with each other how to distribute the benefits before they can fight."
Li Yu was deeply impressed. Zhuge Liang indeed had a far-sighted vision, and he was actually willing to share the benefits of the Western Expedition with everyone.
This is indeed a very real problem. Although the alliance of the Six Dynasties cannot be said to be paper-like, it is indeed not very stable.
Western Shu increased its population and land so much for no reason. It is estimated that none of the five countries would agree, because from the founding of Western Shu, their original intention was to restore the Han Dynasty.
What does it mean to restore the Han Dynasty?
If you analyze this sentence carefully, you can explain it in a more understandable sentence: destroy the other five countries.
Zhuge Liang put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Yu, and said: "We are not the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin could directly occupy Tubo without consulting the other five countries because the Tang Dynasty was powerful and had no grievances with the other five countries. Moreover, he found a good
The timing is good, and the reason is good. If we want to conquer Tianzhu westward, of course we can, but it is not as simple as going out in one sentence."
Li Yu nodded and kept things simple.
The Western Expedition is absolutely feasible, but Li Yu has to convince the other five countries first. The Song Dynasty certainly has no problem, and the other four...
Zhuge Liang then said: "As long as we get this done first, it's just a westward expedition to Tianzhu, it's not a big deal." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and two boys came over, each holding a map and slowly unfolding it.
.
Zhuge Liang pointed to the map and said: "This is a geographical map of mountains and rivers from Western Shu to Tianzhu. There are nine countries and three places along the way, all of which are rubble countries. There are occasionally monsters and monsters who occupy the mountains and become kings. It is honestly not worth mentioning."
Li Yu looked at the map and was stunned.
Zhuge Liang continued: "The only tricky thing is that Heaven will not sit idly by. They have three possible reactions: one is to take action directly. This will break the balance. The Six Dynasties will cut off all incense and gather the manpower of the Six Dynasties and Tianyi.
War. They have been comfortable for too long, and they probably do not have the determination and courage;
The second is to remain silent and let us attack the Pure Land of the Western Heaven. Whether it is to welcome back the Buddhas or make other arrangements, this will put Heaven in trouble. I don’t think they will stand still;
This is the third...
"What will happen in the third meeting?" Li Yu asked nervously.
"They will send some unknown but well-educated subordinates, which can be their own mounts, boys, or even servants. They will give them some magic weapons that they can take advantage of, so that these people have enough strength to come down to earth to cause trouble, and do everything possible to do so.
Blocking the Western Expedition and cooperating with the group of people in Xitian now will make us fail.
"It's very possible!" Li Yushen agreed and nodded in agreement.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "This is a trick that cannot be judged by a noble scholar. We don't care about these tricks. As long as we convince the five countries to let us send troops to Western Shu to conquer the west, then all problems will be solved by our soldiers of Shu."
It can be easily solved by the sword."
Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Leave this matter to me!"
Zhuge Liang looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Where do you plan to go first?"
"Soochow!"
Zhuge Liang then smiled and said: "If you have the courage, most of the matter has been solved. You can go to Soochow without worry. Although you have some differences, based on my understanding of Soochow, they will agree.
."
Li Yu didn't have much confidence in his heart. After all, he had a deep grudge with Soochow. When he heard what Zhuge Liang said, he quickly asked, "How do you say this?"
"Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty does not seek dignity when doing things, but only looks at the benefits. You just need to make it clear how much benefit he can get, and let him
Just think about it yourself. At worst, negotiating the price, going to Soochow is actually no different than buying chickens or ducks in the market, and you can always succeed. The real difficulty with ￥ is no longer Soochow, but in Datang...
"Li Shimin is talented and ambitious, and he is very calculating. He is the most difficult one to convince."
