When Liu Bei received the news, a group of civil and military officials headed by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were standing in front of him.
He didn't appear particularly surprised, but...he kept looking intently at the two military advisors in front of him, one tall and one short.
Because less than half a month ago, that is, the night they returned to Jiangling, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong suddenly rushed in in a hurry before the reception banquet.
At that time...the two men mysteriously told everyone that Zhou Yu might be dead.
And now...Liu Bei actually held the obituary from Jiangdong in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nervously to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong:
"Can you...can you see how long I can live?"
As soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere in the venue was instantly released.
Co-author Liu Bei thought for a long time. Was he calculating the fortune-telling skills of the two military advisors?
Zhuge Liang hasn't cursed anyone for a long time, but this time, he wanted to take action.
However, Pang Tong, who later joined the army, seemed to be more adaptable to Liu Bei's style than Zhuge Liang. He walked out with a smile and came to Liu Bei's rescue and said:
"You don't have to be confused by my lord's remarks. My lord must be thinking about the situation a few decades from now, and is worried that his poor health will prevent him from seeing the day when the world will be unified with you all!"
Pang Tong's remarks made everyone stunned, and everyone's heads didn't turn around for a while. If you think about it roughly, it seems that this is Liu Bei's consideration?
"Lord, am I right?"
"Uh...yeah...right!"
Liu Bei now realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly put on a serious posture, pretending to be profound:
"Now that the world's situation is still unclear, I'm really worried that one day I won't be able to hold on anymore and won't be able to move forward with you all. If... if that time really comes, please take good care of Adou... I believe that as long as he is here, he will be able to inherit
I will use my mantle to make a small contribution to revitalizing the cause of Han Dynasty!"
Good guy, as long as Liu Bei, an old dramatist, sees the steps, he will take big steps down. His sincere tone, worried expression, and decisive attitude all make his words appear to be false. I don’t know.
I really thought he had thought about it so much.
In fact, Pang Tong stood aside, watching Liu Bei continue to deliver inspiring words, and shrugged helplessly towards Zhuge Liang.
——
After a while, Liu Bei finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the excited troops in front of him, he couldn't help but shiver.
"So...the two military advisors have summoned you all to come here this time. Do you still have something urgent to report?"
Finally, Liu Bei got to the point and lifted everyone's spirits.
"The death of Zhou Yu has become a fact. I believe that Cao Cao in the north will also take action soon -"
"The chaos in Jiangdong has not yet been resolved, but because Zhou Yu is no longer here...so we don't need to consider the issue of which team to take."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said very firmly.
"It won't take long...both the new faction and the old faction in Jiangdong will send us a request for unity. By then..."
Zhuge Liang no longer needs to say it clearly.
Because Zhou Yu, the obstacle for them to make the most favorable choice, has disappeared. Although Zhou Yu's death made Zhuge Liang sigh for a while, the fact is that the two of them have two main tasks. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are extremely principled and have extremely clear goals.
For people, they will never put so-called emotions above loyalty.
In terms of love, although Zhuge Liang had the nickname of a villager in Jingzhou back then, because of his origin - the Zhuge family was in Jingzhou, and his power in Yangzhou should not be underestimated. He was born with a talent that was naturally outstanding among the major families.
Popular items.
But since following Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang has never considered the issue of love between his children. Although there are limitations in Zhuge Liang's own vision, beautiful skins cannot catch his eye, but busy work is the most troublesome factor.
Love is like this, let alone friendship.
It's good to have Pang Tong by his side. If Pang Tong really reached a high-level position in Jiangdong back then, when he had to become his enemy, Zhuge Liang would never miss his old friendship and have any chatter with Pang Tong.
This is the most basic quality of a counselor.
At least Zhuge Liang did it.
"Then what Sun Quan's choice is..."
Liu Bei knew that they were probably going to support Zhang Zhao and others, but he was still a little worried about Sun Quan.
"Sun Quan's choice is harmless. If they are smart, they will naturally choose Zhang Zhao. Regardless of the current situation, at least choosing Zhang Zhao will allow him to survive for a while. Thinking of Sun Quan taking the initiative to vote, Zhang Zhao will definitely
Use Sun Quan as the foundation to win over the people of Jiangdong."
"In the future, he may be able to find an official position in Jiangdong, but that's a story for another day."
"But if Sun Quan chooses to side with Lu Xun..."
"hehe…"
Pang Tong said with a smile, the smile on his face was very ordinary, but it gave people a biting coldness.
"We don't have to be merciful."
In the less than half a month since joining Liu Bei's camp, everyone has already had a rough understanding of Pang Tong's character.
On the surface, Pang Tong is still the same super strategist who is equal to Wolong and has superior intelligence.
But... gradually, everyone also discovered that the viciousness that Mr. Fengchu inadvertently revealed was no joke - as has always been the rule, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong inherited it from Pang Degong.
Their abilities are complementary...Zhuge Liang is good at conspiracy, while Pang Tong is very good at intrigues...
Glorious Mr. Fengchu, when you cut it open it is pure black.
When he heard Pang Tong laughing and saying there was no need to show mercy, Liu Bei couldn't help but shudder.
"Then...then do as the two military advisors say."
He hurriedly gave the order. In short...the news of Zhou Yu's death gave Liu Bei, who had been dormant for nearly a year and a half, finally a reason to act.
The Jingnan soldiers, who have not had any military operations for more than half a year, are naturally strong and strong——
It seems that the matter of Ma Zhuang needs to be mentioned separately.
Since the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang suffered a lot in the mountainous riding battle. Although he was indeed defeated, he even lost the good situation he had created from Yizhou - Liu Zhang discovered the whole story of the traitor, and now Zhuge Liang also
Extremely clear.
But... Xing Daorong, this guy, betrayed others and ruined the situation in Yizhou that Zhuge Liang had worked so hard to create. Now he is hiding in Hanzhong without giving Zhuge Liang a chance to retaliate against him. This
On the contrary, it became a big worry for Zhuge Liang.
Of course, Liu Beijun did not gain anything from that battle.
The biggest gain was that Zhuge Liang discovered the reason why Cao's cavalry was so brave.
The small horseshoe has now been roughly developed and is being equipped in Liu Bei's army on a small scale. I believe that when it is really necessary to send troops to Yichuan and horses to Jiangdong, the horseshoe will have been completely equipped on every war horse in Liu Bei's army.
