Chapter 953: Underestimating Liu Bei

As soon as Zhuge Liang heard this answer, the whole person couldn't maintain a certain amount of composure. His mind raced, wondering what was wrong.

Zhuge Liang had calculated the purpose of Liu Bei's battle here. Zhuge Liang thinks that Liu Bei is the least powerful, and in this war, he must want to obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. Then the best place to fish in troubled waters is the one that no one else notices. And this place, Zhuge Liang concluded that it was Jiangling City. Jiangling is a good place, it is the second largest city in Jingzhou, the people are rich, the treasury is sufficient, and more importantly, Jiangling City has hoarded a large number of combat materials, which is one of the important lifelines of the entire Liu army in Jingzhou. If Liu Bei wins Jiangling City, then Liu Bei will win the lottery and become a big tyrant. However, Jiangling City is very strong, and there are fierce generals like Pang De stationed there, and it is not easy for Liu Bei to take it. But Zhuge Liang thought that Liu Bei would definitely seek Jiangling City.

The most critical factor that can make Zhuge Liang make such a determination is that Liu Bei's military advisor is Xu Shu. Xu Shu's ability is very recognized by Zhuge Liang. The benefits of seeking Jiangling are too great, and Zhuge Liang doesn't believe that Xu Shu will not see this. And even if Jiangling City is not captured, Jiangling communicates all the key points here, and Liu Bei can flee to the west.

That's why Zhuge Liang made a plan for Liu Bei, a plan that could destroy Liu Bei.

But now it seems that Liu Bei didn't have a plan.

"Miscalculated!" Zhuge Liang said with a sigh.

Everyone was surprised when they saw Zhuge Liang with such an expression. Zhuge Liang usually gives them the impression that he is in control of everything, but when he actually sighs, this is strange.

Pang Tong saw Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and asked suspiciously: "Kong Ming, are you saying that Liu Bei has evaded your calculations?" ”

"Is there anything else besides this? Liu Xuande didn't show up. I thought that he would go to attack Jiangling, and I had already prepared General Pang, but who knew that General Pang had waited for a long time and did not see a trace of Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang said.

Guan Yu said in disbelief: "Zhuge Junshi, Liu Bei only has that little force, does he dare to attack Jiangling?" Gangneung Fortress is not as strong as other cities, and even our army will take some time to take it. ”

Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's personality very well, and felt that Liu Bei would not make such a big gamble, after all, Liu Bei had such a little money now, if all of them were not in Jiangling City, he would have no hope, which was a very uneconomical deal for the ambitious Liu Bei.

"Yun Chang, you must know that Liu Bei's military advisor is Xu Yuanzhi. With Yuan Zhi, anything is possible. Zhuge Liang said with a heavy face.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Lu Bu all showed puzzled looks.

At this time, Pang Tong came out and said, "You generals don't know anything. The two of us are friends with Yuan Zhi, and I deeply admire Yuan Zhi's intelligence. If there is anyone in the world who can be compared with us and the others, Yuan Zhi is one of them. It's a pity that the pearl is secretly cast. ”

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu glanced at each other, they didn't expect that in the hearts of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Xu Shu's status was so high.

"What a good talent, I actually went to Liu Bei." Lu Bu said with a little pity.

But isn't it, if Xu Shu came to Liu Yu's side, this world might be a little easier.

Pang Tong asked, "Kong Ming, since Liu Bei doesn't go to Jiangling, have you thought where he will go?" ”

"Difficult. Although I have some calculations, it seems that Liu Bei's whereabouts cannot be estimated at present. Zhuge Liang said regretfully.

Pang Tong was also in a hurry, if Jiangdong won this time, then Liu Bei would do his best to reap the benefits. But if he failed, Liu Bei didn't fall for it, and he didn't even know where a shadow went.

Zhang Fei said suddenly: "Maybe Liu Bei will find a remote place to hide, but it's not necessarily." ”

Lu Bu looked incredulous, and said, "Yide, what are you talking about?" If Liu Bei's house is like this, His Majesty doesn't have to be so jealous of him. ”

And at this time, Pang Tong's mind flashed and he thought of a possibility, and if this happened, what would be the difficulty for solving Liu Bei in the future.

"Kong Ming, it won't be over there." Pang Tong pointed in the direction of Yizhou and said to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's heart sank, if Liu Bei really went to Yizhou, then the consequences would become serious.

"Not good! Liu Bei must have gone to Yizhou! Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Yizhou? No way. That's how Liu Bei went over there? Zhang Fei looked puzzled.

Zhuge Liang didn't have time to explain to Zhang Fei now, so he immediately said to the people sent by Pang De: "Please go back immediately and inform General Pang De, and order him to immediately divide his troops into two ways to pursue in the direction of Yizhou, and be sure to intercept Liu Bei, no matter whether he lives or dies!" ”

Guan Yu and Lu Bu both thought that Liu Bei must have followed the previous route and slipped away right under their noses, and they were too careless.

Regardless of life or death, Liu Bei must be taken, which shows how much Zhuge Liang attaches importance to this matter.

"Kong Ming, it may be too late now." Pang Tong lamented.

Time has passed for a long time, if Liu Bei insists on going to Yizhou, it is almost there at this moment, and it will be a little too late for Pang De to pursue.

Zhuge Liang said: "If you don't pursue, you can't do it, even if you have the slightest chance, you can't give Liu Bei to enter Yizhou." If Liu Bei entered Yizhou, it would be difficult to catch him in the future. We will become a sinner of Your Majesty. ”

Yizhou is dangerous, and it is the best place to defend. A long time ago, Liu Bang relied on hiding in Yizhou and seeking the world step by step. Now the situation is not as good as before, it is impossible for Liu Bei to seek the world with the help of Yizhou, but there are endless troubles.

Pang Tong's heart sank, Liu Zhang in Yizhou is a dog who guards the household, and he doesn't have much ability at all, if it weren't for his father leaving such a big family business to Liu Zhang, with Liu Zhang's ability, it would be a little difficult to be a county guard. If the ambitious Liu Bei enters Yizhou, it won't be long before the incompetent Liu Zhang will be replaced by Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang immediately asked Pang De's people to go back immediately, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they quickly went back to report to Pang De.

Zhuge Liang immediately went back and brought the book and pen and ink, and wrote it quickly.

Pang Tong asked puzzledly, "Kong Ming, what are you doing?" ”

"In this case, Liu Bei's entry into Yizhou is unavoidable, and the most important thing now is to inform Your Majesty, Your Majesty may have a way to solve Liu Bei." Zhuge Liang said as he wrote.

Pang Tong thought that Zhuge Liang's idea was right.

It's just that Lu Bu is a little unimpressed, Liu Bei will let him go when he enters Yizhou, and it will be a big deal to destroy him in the future. With his IQ, of course, he couldn't imagine how difficult Liu Bei would become after entering Yizhou. In the future, Liu Yu will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to solve Yizhou.

And Liu Bei's side passed through the Hanjin Pass smoothly and headed towards Heyizhou.

Just as Xu Shu thought, all of Liu Jun's attention was on Jiangling City, and Hanjinkou didn't have too many troops stationed at all after Lu Bu and Guan Yu left, and they didn't expect Liu Bei's side to do the opposite.

Liu Bei thought that if he could defeat Guan Yu and Lu Bu before, would he be able to kill directly from Hanjin Pass to Jiangling City? As soon as Liu Bei saw the small number of troops in Hanjinkou, he wondered if he was trying to attack Hanjinkou and then raid Jiangling.

It's good to have an idea, but the most important thing is to be pragmatic with the idea. Liu Bei tentatively said some of his thoughts, but was strongly opposed by Xu Shu.

"My lord. Now Jiangdong has been calculated by Zhuge Liang. We also took advantage of the fact that Zhuge Liang and others didn't notice that there was such a perfect way. If you want to attack Hanjinkou at this moment, this is not a waste of your previous achievements, and you will give military merits to Liu Jun in vain. Could it be that the lord thinks that with our current strength, we can defeat the defenders of Gangneung? At the same time, Liu Jun of Wulin Harbor may have defeated Sun Ce, what would they do if they knew that the lord was attacking Jiangling? Even if the lord takes Gangneung City, what can he do? Can the lord block the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of Liu Jun? Please think again, my lord! "Xu Shu really doesn't know that Liu Bei is still a thief now, obviously he already has such a small number of troops left, if he doesn't go to Yizhou immediately to make Liu Zhang's waste, he still has to calculate Jiangling, and seek those benefits that can be seen but can't be touched, this is simply wishful thinking.

Xu Shu refuted Liu Bei very fiercely, which made Liu Bei very faceless. But Liu Bei thought that what Xu Shu said was very reasonable, that is, he listened to Xu Shu's words. It's just that Liu Bei kept Xu Shu's rudeness in his heart this time, and waited for him to settle accounts with Xu Shu in the future. Liu Bei is really very similar to Liu Bang, even the accounts after the autumn are exactly the same.

Xu Shu is really angry, Liu Bei is good at everything, but he is a bit of a master and a low master, and he overestimates his ability too much. If Xu Shu hadn't wanted to realize his ambitions, he would have thrown Liu Bei aside a long time ago.

Fortunately, now Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's words and did not act rashly, and Liu Beijun was able to pass through Hanjin Pass very smoothly.

And Liao Li, who was observing Xu Shu and Liu Bei, saw Xu Shu so rude, and laughed in his heart: Xu Shu, Xu Shu, because you claim to be talented, don't you know the character of the lord, you will wait to be punished in the future.

Liao Li's intelligence is very high, and at the same time, he knows Liu Bei's character very clearly, Xu Shu is so rude, he refutes Liu Bei speechlessly, as a subordinate is really incompetent, Liu Bei will definitely not let Xu Shu have a good time in the future.

After Xu Shu passed through Hanjin Pass, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, how worried he was about Liu Jun's ambush in Hanjin Pass just now, after all, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were very powerful, and Xu Shu couldn't tell if he was right. Now it seems that he did seize the loopholes of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, successfully led Liu Bei to the right path, and escaped the catastrophe.

Next, Xu Shu arranged for the people to march first and contact the army in Yizhou, so that the army in Yizhou could come over to respond. Xu Shu was worried that if Liu Jun knew that Liu Bei was going to Yizhou, he would definitely go crazy in pursuit, which was also to be more secure.

Xu Shu guessed correctly, Pang De received an order from his subordinates to bring back Zhuge Liang, and without saying a word, the troops went to pursue Liu Bei in two ways. One way is 6 and all the way is water.

Pang De was waiting for Liu Bei to come over, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so cunning, see through Zhuge Liang's strategy, and even fled to Yizhou from under his nose, which was a dereliction of duty for Pang De, the Jiangling guard.

"Liu Xuande of the dog day, wouldn't it be good if you came over and killed Ben General? Lao Tzu will at least remember your good on your death day every year. You ran away. You can run, you can run, and you actually slipped away under Lao Tzu's nose. If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, Lao Tzu still wants to mix in the army. I'm going to catch you bastard. Pound's heart was full of resentment. If Liu Bei was in front of him, Pang De would immediately cut him with a knife, without blinking his eyes.

It's a pity that Pang De has been chasing for a long time and has not found any trace of Liu Bei, and if he continues to advance, he will enter the boundary of Yizhou. Entering the opponent's forces with soldiers and horses, it was a matter of declaring war, and Pang De did not dare to add trouble to Liu Yu, so he could only reluctantly choose to retreat and return. At the same time, the soldiers and horses on the other side did not find any trace of Liu Bei.

This means that Liu Bei has entered Yizhou.

Pang De could only convey his speculation to Zhuge Liang, and sent a letter of plea to Liu Yu.

Pang De dared to act, he accidentally let Liu Bei escape into Yizhou, and he deserved to be punished.

Zhuge Liang got the news, and after a long time, he said: "Liu Bei! I remember you. Yuan Zhi, how wrong are you going to be! ”

And when Liu Yu, who was in Xiangyang, received Zhuge Liang's battle report and saw that Sun Ce had fled in defeat, his face showed a look of great joy.

Liu Yu has always been worried about whether the Battle of Chibi will lead to the defeat of his side like in history. Now the results are out, the Chibi War, the winning side is himself, and Jiangdong can no longer threaten himself. Liu Yu was naturally happy.

"Okay. After this battle, the pacification of Jiangdong was just around the corner. Liu Yu said with a sigh.

"This is all Your Majesty's blessings." Li Gui, the dog-legged man beside him, naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to pat himself on the back.

Chen Gong and a few other old guys were also happy, after this battle, Jingzhou is safe, and things in Jiangdong will not be difficult. It seems that His Majesty's vision is correct, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are indeed people who can be entrusted with important tasks. Chen Gong and the others even wondered if they were going to abdicate and give young people more opportunities.

Liu Yu saw the end, and after learning that Liu Bei might have entered Yizhou, Liu Yu burst out on the spot: "Is there a mistake!" Liu Bei ran to Yizhou this dog's day. ”
