"If you use people to mix up the philosophers, the sprouts will come out of the wall. Brothers eat each other, and they become jackals with the same breath. This is a sentence of Liu Bowen, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, in "Huanghuang Jingluo Xing".

Although, only the land of Jingluo and the history of the previous dynasty are mentioned in the whole poem, but this Liu Bowen really deserves to be a strange man known as "five hundred years ago, five hundred years later", and a poem in the early stage actually included the events of the founding period of the Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes, "brothers eat each other, and the same qi becomes jackals", after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he went on a killing spree, and the heads of the Jingshi were rolling, and the former robes became the souls of his swords.

Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu, Li Shanchang, Zhou Dexing, Wang Guangyang, Zhu Shou, Song Lian, Wang Bi and Fu Youde and a large number of heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world were imprisoned one after another because of the so-called rebellion case, those who retired from illness, and those who beheaded themselves.

At this moment in Jingzhou, although there are still far from seeing the signs of brothers eating each other, the scene of evil buds coming out of the Xiao wall is not far away.

Liu Biao blinked, Zhuge Liang understood in seconds, and he didn't repeat how to solve Jingzhou's current predicament at the moment.

After all, the prescription he prescribed to Liu Biao was the eight-character policy of "external strong aid, internal Anzhou County". And he only said Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Chen Liujun Wang, Lu Bu and Zhang Lu and others, it is obvious that these people can only be counted as "external", not "internal".

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Liu Biao drank for a while, the wine was already on his head, squinted his eyes as if in the clouds, stared wide-eyed and didn't know where he was, looked at the Wenchen generals in the field, tried hard to prop himself up from the desk chair, his feet slipped suddenly, and his body stumbled and almost fell into the hall.

"The lord is drunk, let the monarchs disperse early!" With a long shout, a scribe hurriedly broke in from outside the county office, waved his hand at Cai Mao, Cai He and Kuai Liang, Liu Xian, Liu Bei and others, picked up Liu Biao and wanted to walk towards the wing room behind the county office.

Cai Mao and other generals looked at the people who came, and their faces showed a look of sorrow, Kuai Liang, Liu Xian and others were also ashamed, and they hugged their fists to the people who came, and then bowed to Liu Biao and left the county office.

It turned out that that person was none other than Liu Biao, the first romantic figure in Jingxiang who Liu Biao had always relied on as his confidant.

"This matter is all due to the foolish brother's happiness and lack of moderation, which caused the brother to get drunk, and the foolish brother was panicked, and he was willing to serve in front of the brother's couch all night!" However, Liu Bei did not leave with everyone, but gave Zhuge Liang a look and supported Liu Biao on the other side.

The generals of Jingzhou gradually dispersed, Zhang Fei and Guan Xing also returned to the inn, and only Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left in the hall.

Liu Biao patted Kuai Yue's hand gently, stood up and walked to the desk chair in the hall again and sat down, his eyes were clear, and there was no more hesitation, where was it still like the drunk Liu Jingzhou just now?

Liu Biao waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Kuai Yue: "Have you inquired about the recent situation in Yuzhou?" ”

"The subordinates are fortunate to have fulfilled their mission, and the situation of the Liu'an War is well known. Yesterday, Wang Deyu suddenly marched eastward, personally leading tens of thousands of troops to Lu'an City, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wen Chou, Tai Shici and others were all listed on the left and right. Kuai Yue bowed his head, took the tea and drank it all, but there was a slight bitterness in his eyes.

"Wang Li's soldiers are menacing and arrogant, Sun Jian was defeated for a while and had to flee in embarrassment, I am afraid that they have already left the realm of Yuzhou at this moment. And Lu Jining handed over the entire Lu'an to Wang Li because of Lu Xun, and the entire Yuzhou has changed its flag except for Qian County! ”

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the teacup in Liu Bei's hand fell to the ground, and a ray of horror passed in his eyes.

"Xuande don't need to worry, Brother Yu has already expected today's situation, otherwise he wouldn't have let Xenodu arrange personnel to inquire about the news of Yuzhou!" Liu Biao frowned slightly and explained to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's heart was in a hurry for a while, he suddenly heard the news that Wang Li had broken Sun Jian's army, and he was so frightened that he was in a hurry, but he forgot that Liu Biao was a well-known self-defending thief among the princes who was more than self-defending and not enterprising enough.

With Liu Biao's style, how could he forget the strong neighbor on his side?

Liu Bei was about to speak to cover up two sentences, Zhuge Liang coughed lightly, hugged his fist to Liu Biao and asked: "Sun Jian fled, Cao Cao fled, Wang Li Bingfeng is flourishing, there is such a strong neighbor on the side, I don't know what Ming Gong plans to do?" ”

Obviously, Zhuge Liang knew what Liu Biao meant, and the "Jingzhou" in his mouth had been changed to "Ming Gong".

"What is Ben Zhou's plan, this should be the question that Ben Shu asks Xian Di and Mr. Zhuge , right? Isn't that what you're here for? Liu Biao laughed, slowly stood up and walked to the screen, looked at the map of Jingzhou on the screen and smiled.

"Mr. Zhuge previously put forward the eight-character policy of 'external reinforcement, Nei'an Prefecture County' is very in line with the meaning of Benzhou, Wang Libing swept Yuzhou out of Lu'an, and its sword has pointed to Jingzhou, and a big war is inevitable.

Honshu has said before: first secure the inside, then the outside, only a firm rear can guarantee victory at the front. However, it is easier said than done, and Benzhou would like to ask, what is Mr. Zhuge who can solve the internal problems of Jingzhou once and for all? ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Kuai Yue and did not speak.

Liu Biao smiled faintly: "Mr. Zhuge said that it doesn't matter, Xenodu is a famous romantic figure in my Jingchu, his vision, insight, courage and planning are not under Mr., and what is even more rare is that Xenodu is loyal to me with sincerity." If that weren't the case, how could Honshu leave him alone? ”

Kuai Yue didn't speak, Zhuge Liang nodded, got up and said: "Jingzhou is located in the center of my Han Dynasty, the territory is crisscrossed by rivers and lakes, although there is no plain river in the Central Plains, the terrain is steep but far better than Hebei and Henan prefectures.

In such a state and county, if the military generals of Wenchen can work together in harmony, unite sincerely, and defend to the death, I think whether it is Wang Li, who has a million male soldiers, or Lu Bu, the first fierce general at the beginning, they can only return in front of Jingzhou.

However, although Jingzhou still seems to be peaceful and tranquil today, in fact, the entire Jingzhou has been riddled with holes, and the iron walls of the past are no longer as solid as they used to be. I'm afraid that if Wang Li charges, the door of Jingzhou will be wide open and become a racecourse for Wang Li's iron horsemen! ”

Liu Biao's eyebrows raised slightly, and his face was a little difficult to look at: "Is this statement a bit exaggerated, sir, alarmist?" ”

"Ryo is not sensational, but truthful!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and continued.

"First, the boys are less enthusiastic and the war preparation is not neat. Jingzhou has been in war for so many years, there have been no battles except for the first few battles in Nanyang, and the soldiers have less iron and blood, how can they compare with the veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead under Wang Li's tent?

Second, there is no will to fight, and the military is good at power. Please forgive Liang for saying bluntly, although Jingzhou is peaceful and tranquil today, it is like a pool of stagnant water without any fresh meaning. Liu Xian, Fu Xun and others may be loyal to Ming Gong, but they have long been accustomed to this kind of peaceful life, how can Ming Gong make them have fighting spirit?

As for Cai Mao, Cai He and Zhang Yunzhu, they relied on the trust of the Ming Duke, and several major families colluded with each other, acted in embarrassment, hijacked power, and were jealous of the virtuous, and firmly held the large and small fortresses and counties of Jingzhou, as well as the military and political power.

Over the years, the soldiers of the fortress and the county have become their thugs in search of the people's fat and ointment. And the strange people who were excluded by them either went into exile or became fierce generals under the accounts of others.

Han Song, who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and Lao Huang Zhong under Wang Li are proof of this! Ming Gong might as well imagine how such an army and such a barrier can compete with Wang Li, who has traveled thousands of miles, or even compete with him? ”

In fact, Han Song was suspicious of Liu Biao, so he said goodbye to his career and became a hermit with peace of mind, but Zhuge Liang was not good at saying it clearly, so he had to paste a layer of gold dust on Liu Biao's face.

Liu Biao's face was cloudy, blue and white for a while, he knew that Zhuge Liang's words were not exaggerated, and he also knew where Jingzhou's stubborn illness was, but he had no way to wave his arms and wave the Huanyu Demon Mist like he did a few years ago.

He is already old, and he has long lost the passion in his heart, not to mention, he is very obsessed with Mrs. Cai's graceful figure and uneven curves, and he doesn't want Mrs. Cai to be the slightest sad.

And Cai Mao and Cai He are the brothers of Mrs. Cai.

After a while, Liu Biao seemed to have figured it out, his expression suddenly straightened, his face was as red as chicken blood, he looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "If Benzhou plans to follow Mr. 's advice, then how can I follow Nei'an Prefecture?" ”

The feather fan in his hand shook slightly, Zhuge Liang raised his head and stared at Liu Biao, and said a word softly, but the voice exploded in Liu Biao's ears like thunder.

"Without him, the alliance of interests should be resolved by interests. In order to divide the generals, limit their power to behead Cai Mao, and then secure the generals! ”
