The drama of borrowing arrows from a straw boat is gone!
By the way, this is just a means by Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu, to make things difficult for Zhuge Liang.
The reason for such a play is not that Liu Da'er in the Romance is too difficult. If he hadn't had a reputation, he would not have the qualifications to form an alliance with Jiangdong at all.
As the representative of the Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu naturally asked Liu Da'er to know who is the master and who is the guest!
The situation is different now. Although Liu Da'er was hit hard by Cao's army, most of the strength he had accumulated in Xinye for many years had lost, but his strength was still not bad.
With 60,000 infantry and cavalry, and peerless generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the strength of the land battle is no worse than that of the Cao army, who is dominant in the world, or at least much stronger than the Jiangdong army.
If you have strength, you will naturally receive the respect you deserve!
Even if Zhou Yu is so funny, he will not force Zhuge Liang to play the trick of "borrowing arrows on a straw boat".
Besides, in the war in the Gaowu world, ordinary arrows have little effect.
Can it be easily received by a straw boat with armor-breaking arrow made of special alloys, as thick as an adult's arm siege crossbow, and the most sharp and terrifying rune arrows?
Although Zhuge Liang's soul power is strong, he has not yet reached its peak.
There are many top and first-class strategists in Cao's army, and a single poisonous soldier Jia Xu can beat Zhuge Liang.
Even if Zhuge Liang can attract the fog that cannot be blown away by the wind, would Cao's army and his advisers not be able to dispel the fog?
Just kidding...
In fact, after reaching the alliance contract, Zhuge Liang brought the alliance signed by Sun Quan, the lord of the Eastern Wu, and successfully returned to Fankou where Liu Bei was temporarily stationed.
It was impossible for Liu Xuande to go to the Eastern Wu territory in person to determine the alliance.
As for marrying Sun Shangxiang, there was no need for Liu Bei to take action personally. When Zhuge Liang left Eastern Wu, Sun Quan had already revealed the information and meaning in this regard.
After all, in this era, it is quite normal to maintain alliance relationships through marriage.
Although Liu Bei was happy, he was not confused. He immediately informed the prefect of Jiangxia when Zhuge Liang had not returned.
In his heart, the only true reliable ally was Liu Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia.
If it were in a normal historical period, Liu Qi's strength was not even as good as him, so there was no need to mention it.
But the situation is different now. Liu Qi's Jiangxia army is not weak. He will have to join forces to Jiangling to find trouble for Cao Ren, so it is naturally impossible to be careless.
Liu Qi's reaction also made him very satisfied. He immediately sent his general Liu Pan to Fankou to welcome Zhuge Liang who had returned from Jiangdong together.
Liu Pansuan is a general with rich combat experience, and at least the record is much better than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all famous peerless generals in the world, their achievements in fighting alone are quite good, but their ability in commanding troops is not very good.
If you say that Liu Bei had been fighting for many years, he had hundreds of thousands of people when he had many people and thousands when he had fewer people. However, the performance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei after he was commanded was unsatisfactory.
Otherwise, even if Wen Hou stabbed the knife in the back, Liu Bei would not have been defeated so badly in Xuzhou, and almost all his great foundation was lost.
Especially Zhang Fei and Liu Bei’s defeat and Xuzhou are definitely responsible!
Guan Yu was truly mature after Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou. The most glorious battle was the battle of flooding the seven armies and capturing Yu Jin alive.
As for Zhang Fei, he finally matured after he came to Bashu and became a truly qualified general of command.
At present, the gap between them and Liu Pan, who have been commanding troops for many years and have been beating up by Jiangdong's generals.
A truly powerful general in commanding troops will not dare to provoke him easily even if he is a peerless general.
For example, the Dong Zhuojun, in addition to the world's number one Hou Wen, was the most powerful general Xu Rong.
As strong as Wen Hou, he had no courage to directly attack the Dingsheng Army formation of Xu Rong's troops!
So, although Liu Pan is only the peak strength of the second-rate, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dare not be too contemptuous.
"General Zijian, what do you think of the two alliances?"
While waiting for Zhuge Liang to come back at the pier, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei received Liu Pan together. Seeing that it was still early, they found a topic to chat.
"I don't have any opinion, it depends on how the battle with Cao's army was going on in the future!"
Liu Pan smiled and said, "If Cao's army can be defeated in one fell swoop, the emperor's uncle will have to become dirty with Jiangdong in the future. After all, once Cao's army is defeated, the entire Jingzhou will be empty. No one will give up easily if the interests are too great!"
As for his boss Liu Qi, he didn't mention it much at all.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly, thinking that Liu Pan’s words were very reasonable.
Similarly, they subconsciously ignored Jiangxia prefect Liu Qi.
"If it becomes a war of attrition, then the life of the alliance will be sad!"
Liu Pan smiled on his face, but his words were very cold: "The two alliances could not withstand the Cao army's wealth and power, and they were rich in resources and had a large population!"
"Uncle the emperor should be the first to stand it, unless he can quickly find a suitable territory and continue to consume it with Cao's army while developing the economy and people's livelihood!"
"In Jiangdong, when the power in Sun Quan's hands is consumed to a certain extent, the Jiangdong families will definitely take action, directly suppress Sun Quan and even take him down, and give it to Cao Mengde as a gift to the truce to avoid further depletion of power!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked serious, their original smiles had long disappeared, and they were in a very heavy mood at this time.
Liu Pan's speculation made them realize the reality that the alliance must not be defeated, and they must win quickly, otherwise they would suffer a catastrophe for both Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
"I don't know, what are the plans for the eldest son?"
After pondering for a while, Guan Yu asked curiously: "If the war is delayed for a long time, I'm afraid Jiang Xia will not be able to protect himself!"
"I've watched one movie one step!"
Liu Pan looked careless and smiled, "The eldest son means that if you really can't hold on, then move towards Jingnan, and there will always be a place to settle down!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
By the way, Liu Bei and his advisers also discussed their future opportunities.
Even if the alliance successfully resists Cao and drives Cao's main force out of Jingzhou, the future will not be so easy to deal with.
Jiangdong must have the idea of getting involved in Jingzhou. Liu Bei will not give in to anything he says for future development.
The best way is naturally to let Liu Qi, the legitimate heir of Jingzhou, continue to stay in Jiangxia, so that Jiangdong has no reason to extend his hand to Jingzhou.
As for Liu Bei and his party, they took Jingnan first, and then found a way to run to Bashu.
This is the most ideal state. If you can't stand up with Cao's army and fight and consume each other, you can retreat to the boundary of Jingnan.
But unexpectedly, the eldest son Liu Qi actually went with them.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't say much, after all, the eldest son Liu Qi has a special identity, and if he wants to go to Jingnan, no one can say a reason to object.
But in this way, the eldest son Liu Qi's idea collided with his own car, and he was afraid that there would be a conflict in the future?
Liu Pan did not notice Guan Zhang's expression was abnormal. Even if he knew what they were thinking, he would not care too much.
The identity of the eldest son Liu Qi is there. At the moment when Liu Cong took the initiative to surrender to Cao Mengde, the eldest son Liu Qi is the well-deserved heir of Jingzhou.
If Liu Bei doesn't want his personality to collapse, he will not do anything wrong to Liu Qi!
Liu Qi is not an optional fish at the moment. With the 50,000 elite soldiers trained by Liu Pan and Huang Zhong himself, although they cannot control the battle between Cao, Liu and Sun, there is no problem in protecting themselves.
Under such circumstances, the eldest son Liu Qi's choice was relatively free.
At least, there is no need to think about how to defeat Cao Mengde...
While speaking, the navy's whistle ship came to report, and the ship of the military advisor Zhuge's ship had already appeared.
The group did not dare to neglect and waited at the pier for a while. The boat Zhuge Liang rode as if it were an arrow from a string, and it was docked steadily on the pier.
It was naturally a lively scene afterwards...
When Zhuge Liang accompanied Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Pan and others back to the temporary military camp of Fankou, more than an hour had passed.
"Lord, fortunately, Liang has been saved from his fate during this trip!"
When he saw Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang took out the covenant document and handed it directly to Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "This time we have successfully formed an alliance with Jiangdong, the pressure on us has been reduced by half at once, so there is no need to worry too much in the future!"
Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei for a long time, and naturally he could see Liu Bei's thoughts.
Although he looks confident on the surface, he doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
After all, after losing one after another in Cao's hands, the shadow in his heart is not so easy to eliminate.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work in the military advisor!"
Liu Bei laughed, holding the alliance document in his hand, and excitedly said: "With Jiangdong helping us reduce the burden, the pressure in the future will not be that great!"
"You can't relax too much!"
Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan and said leisurely: "Our strength should also take action. Even if we can't be the main force, we can't explain that we won't do it!"
"What the military advisor said is reasonable!"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "So, I plan to wait for the Jiangdong Navy to officially face Cao's army, and immediately send my second and third brothers to the Jiangxia army and directly face the mercenaries in Jiangling City to give Cao's army a good look!"
"Oh, are you ready on the eldest son?"
Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction, looked at Liu Pan and asked, "General Zijian, this time you have to ask you to return to Xiling as soon as possible, report to the eldest son, and let the Jiangxia army go out!"
"This is just a trivial matter!"
Liu Pan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Military Advisor Zhuge, the Jiangxia army has been prepared to go out at any time, just wait for news from the emperor's uncle!"
Zhuge Liang smiled deeply and asked curiously: "How many troops can the eldest son dispatch this time?"
"Thirty thousand!"
Liu Pan laughed: "Brother Hansheng will act with us at that time!"
"It would be better if General Han Sheng took action!"
Zhuge Liang's smile on his face even more, and his eyes were even more glittering...
