Three days have passed since Cai Yang's incident, and Liu Bei has led all the soldiers to take root in Deng County.

On the school field, the soldiers waved the weapons in their hands neatly, as fast as the wind, and as slow as a forest; Outside the school field, Liu Bei hung his head and drooped his eyes, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the soldiers blankly, he had long lost the style of pointing out the country in the past, but like an old man inspecting the crops in the field.

Obviously, he hadn't come out of the shadows of a few days ago.

The shadow, like an appendage, was engraved on his body, and it began to attack every night, making it difficult for him to sleep with his heart and liver shattered.

The shadow, like the thick dark clouds in the sky when the rainstorm came, weighed heavily on his head, and he was overwhelmed.

"Lord, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, the battle of Emperor Gaozu Xingyang was defeated, there was no food in the city, and the soldiers were exhausted." Seeing that Liu Bei was as lifeless as an eggplant beaten by frost, Zhuge Liang felt a slight sorrow in his heart and opened his mouth to persuade him.

Seeing that the fall of Xingyang was imminent, General Ji Xin disguised himself as Gaozu and went out of the city to surrender, which gave Gaozu a chance to escape. Presumably, at that time, Gaozu's mentality should be similar to that of the lord, they were all strong enemies and weak me, and they were all forced by the situation, so they had to let their sons die under their command. ”

After a pause, Liu Bei was still listless, like a walking corpse walking in the world, Zhuge Liang decided to go sideways, and his words became no longer so polite.

However, Emperor Gaozu is a man of great talent after all, and the grievances in his heart and the tragic death of the general did not make him die from then on, but learned from the pain and reinvigorated his strength, which destroyed the overlord of Chu and conquered the world in one fell swoop.

Lord, you often take Emperor Gaozu as an example, and you are proud to have Emperor Gaozu's blood flowing in your body. However, if Emperor Gaozu had a spirit under the spring, he would definitely be deeply ashamed of the lord's behavior, and feel that the lord was not worthy of being his descendant and a man of the heavenly family! ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head for the first time, with a little vitality in his eyes.

However, when he saw the hard training of his sons and daughters again, it was as if he saw the heroic spirit who died under Zhang Fei's sword that day, and it was also as if he saw Liu Pan's villain's face, and a ball of evil fire rushed out of his heart.

When the words came to his mouth, he forcibly swallowed them again, but what blurted out was another thought that had been hidden in his heart: "Kong Ming, if our army is now against the elite of Shangjingzhou, can it have the strength to fight?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed, it seems that the lord has been pressed by this evil breath so that people are not like people and ghosts, if he is not allowed to vent his anger, I am afraid that there will be no more heroes named Liu Bei in this world in the future.

Pressing his thoughts to the bottom of his tongue, Zhuge Liang nodded: "When it comes to the combat strength of our army, Liang is not too worried. Although Cai Yang's incident affected the morale of the army, the lieutenant generals and colonels still had some means to turn grief and anger into motivation, and under their training, the soldiers had regained their confidence.

Of course, at present, it is just a matter of getting it back, and it will take some time to return to the peak of the past, and to continue to despise those soft-footed shrimp in Jingzhou. Therefore, if the lord wants to fight against Liu Pan's two armies, the current state of the sons and daughters is enough. But if you want to fight against the whole of Jingzhou, I'm afraid ......"

I'm afraid or something, Zhuge Liang didn't say it, but Liu Bei already understood what he meant.

The whole state is the enemy, and one team fights one city!

It is indeed a magnificent iron-blooded style, but how easy is it to really achieve it?

Not to mention that their morale is frustrated now and the army is discouraged, they can't shake the real Jingzhou elite at all, just talking about the strength of the two sides, it is a gap between Liu Bei and Liu Biao and the warlords of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei has only more than 30,000 people under his account, but what about Jingzhou?

Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the territory of Jingzhou has been repeatedly adjusted, and the counties under its jurisdiction include nine counties, including Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, Xiangyang County and Zhangling County, commonly known as Jingxiang Nine Counties.

In addition to Nanyang County, which has belonged to Wang Li, there are still eight counties such as Jiangxia.

Over the years, Jingzhou has been safe under the governance of Liu Biao, and the people from Yizhou, Hanzhong, Jiaozhou, Huainan and Jiangdong have sprung up one after another, making Jingzhou's population increase dramatically in just a few years. According to incomplete statistics, the registered population of the eight counties has already far exceeded 7 million, and the number of people in control of armor and strings is also approaching the 300,000 mark.

With more than 30,000 people against 300,000 elite soldiers, is this intended to defeat the strong with the weak, or hit the stone with an egg?

Without Zhuge Liang's reminder, Liu Bei knew that this was a multiple-choice question.

"Could it be that Cai Yang's matter is just that? Could it be that the disgrace suffered by General Ben is over? Do those brothers who died tragically deserve retribution? After a while, Liu Bei finally regained some vitality, but his face was still full of bitter smiles, and he had an expression of wanting to cry without tears.

"Lord, if you can't bear it, you ......"

Zhuge Liang was about to boil a bowl of chicken soup for his soul to Liu Bei again, but a voice sounded behind him, "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, the lord suffers this great humiliation, Kong Ming does not want to avenge the lord but blindly dissuades me, do you want me to die of shame?" ”

"Mr. Wen Ji, Fei Liang's reluctance to avenge the Lord is really forced by the situation. The situation of Jingzhou, Mr. knows very well, we are now in the belly of Jingzhou, there are wolves and tigers on all sides, and self-protection is still insufficient, so how can we talk about counterattack? ”

Turning around, he saw Yan Xiang walking slowly with Liang Gang, Zhuge Liang hurriedly made a joke, his expression solemn and solemn, unquestionable. Obviously, he is full of 100% affirmation and confidence in his plan.

Liu Bei's eyes showed a hint of hope, and he stepped directly past Zhuge Liang and stepped in front of Yan Xiang: "Liu was resentful because of this incident, and he was so tired that Kong would have to take time out to cheer Liu up tomorrow." If Mr. Wen Ji has a good plan, please tell me one or two, Liu is grateful! ”

"Don't be like this, the courtiers should share the worries of the lord!" Yan Xiang gave a hand, and hugged Liu Bei again, "Kong Ming's remarks just now are indeed Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, and now that our troops are weak, it is not suitable for Liu Jingzhou to fight hard."

However, the subordinates have a plan to let the lord temporarily relieve the anger and hatred in his heart, but this plan is slow to work, and he may need to wait patiently for a while, I wonder if the lord is willing to continue to wait? ”

"What's the plan? If Mr. Wenji has something to say, please say it directly, as long as he can relax his chest, what does it matter if General Ben waits for it for a while! ”

It seems that this dog day has indeed forced Liu Bei too hard, and without waiting for Zhuge Liang to object, Liu Bei hurriedly jumped out, and the domineering spirit in his words reappeared, as if he had returned to the previous appearance of the unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly, and arched his hand towards Yan Xiang: "In the past few days, Liang is the first time to see the lord's radiant side, Mr. Wenji, what plan do you have but it doesn't matter, Liang listens!" ”

Yan Xiang waved his long sleeves and smiled faintly, and gently spit out two words: "Separation!" ”
