On the other side, Liu Bei was discussing some secrets with Xu Shu.

Liu Yu and Cao Cao have already started a life-and-death battle, and their attention is not on Yizhou.

This time is actually the best time for Liu Bei. Liu Bei pretended to be sick hard, wasn't it for Yizhou? But Liu Yu's mountain was firmly pressed on Liu Bei's head, so that Liu Bei had to consider one or two of any actions. Hanzhong County in Yizhou has long fallen into the hands of Liu Yu, which can be regarded as Liu Yu's check and balance on Yizhou. Steadily suppressed some of Liu Bei's careful thoughts.

"Yuan Zhi, how long do you think it will take for Liu Yu and Cao Cao to be able to separate the winners?" Liu Bei is most concerned about this issue.

How long the final battle between Liu Yu and Cao Cao took was directly related to Liu Bei's plans in Yizhou.

"Liu Yu used hundreds of thousands of troops, and Cao Cao was a hero among the people, both of them are the top existences in the world, and it is unknown how much time it will take. It was very difficult for Liu Yu to win quickly. If Cao Cao wants to turn the situation around, unless there is a trick! Xu Shu said very frankly.

"Tricks? Yuan Zhi, can you estimate what Cao Cao's strategy is? Liu Bei's desire to learn is very strong.

This is a bit embarrassing for Xu Shu, Xu Shu is not a worm in Cao Cao's stomach, how can he know what Cao Cao thinks. But Xu Shu is not a dry eater, and he has this related answer in his heart.

"I don't know what Cao Cao's plan is. But if it is a plan, according to the current situation in Yuzhou, then the strategy of assassinating Liu Yu will be adopted. Xu Shu said his thoughts.

Xu Shu's strategy is actually the same as Guo Jia's, and the hero sees the same thing.

"Isn't that impossible? For so many years, no one dared to assassinate Liu Yu, and even if there was, they were eliminated by Liu Yu's men in advance. Liu Bei didn't agree with such a strategy.

"Nothing is impossible. Just because no one has done it before doesn't mean it can't now. Liu Yu is very confident in his defense. This is the Achilles' heel. Doing the opposite, taking advantage of Liu Yu's negligence, it is not impossible. Xu Shu analyzed carefully.

"If that's the case, that's good." Liu Bei very much hoped that Cao Cao would do this, and even more hoped that Cao Cao could succeed.

In Liu Bei's opinion, if Liu Yu was killed, then the Shenwu Imperial Court would definitely be in turmoil. Liu Yu has two sons, and although the crown prince has been established early, Liu Bei knows that once Liu Yu is dead, some careerists will emerge. Will they look at such a good thing from the dragon's merits and don't want it, and they can easily get the glory and wealth without it? As soon as Liu Yu died, the Shenwu Imperial Court would be in turmoil for at least three to five years, or even longer. The more serious consequence may be that Liu Yu's territory is torn apart. How powerful Yuan Shao was at the beginning, the entire north of the Yellow River was his, except for the annexed states. But what about later? As soon as Yuan Shao died, his two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, were busy fighting in the position of heirs, and they split the foundation established by Yuan Shao alive. In the end, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were defeated one by one by Liu Yu, who had risen.

Yuan Shao is like this, you say Liu Yu's son won't do this? All hearts are flesh and selfish. Liu Bei believed very much that Liu Yu's son would fight among himself, and when Liu Yu's territory was torn apart, it would be a good time for him Liu Bei to get a piece of the pie.

It's a pity that all this needs to be based on the premise that Liu Yu was assassinated by Cao Cao.

"The struggle between Liu Yu and Cao Cao, the lord, you are far away in Yizhou, you can only sit and wait for the result. And the most important thing at the moment is to take Yizhou as soon as possible. Xu Shu gave Liu Bei a wake-up call.

Liu Bei has long had a plan for Yizhou, during this time he pretended to be sick and was in Chengdu every day, but he also sent people to contact Yizhou officials privately, and really won him the favor of some Yizhou officials. At the same time, Xu Shu and others were not idle, and began to visit secretly in Yizhou, using money to open the way, and befriending the county guards. This is also the result of Xu Shu's previous talk to Liu Bei.

There are so many counties in Yizhou, and it is already very good to be able to have two county guards who have a good impression of Liu Bei. It can be regarded as Xu Shu and the others who have the ability. You must know that when Liu Bei first came to Yizhou, the entire Yizhou was boycotted.

At the same time, the guards of these two counties did not sincerely make friends with Liu Bei, but valued the gold and silver treasures that Liu Bei gave them.

Only the guards of the two counties have a good impression of Liu Bei, which makes Liu Bei a little unconfident.

"I know that, too. But now the whole of Yizhou is not so expecting me. Liu Bei was telling the truth.

"Lord, Liu Zhang is a mediocre talent, and he wasted a great opportunity to dominate the world. The lord had already persuaded him twice, and both opportunities were wasted by him. Yizhou has little future in his hands. Only in the hands of the lord can Yizhou make the world feel shocked. Don't hesitate any longer, my lord. Xu Shu encouraged Liu Bei.

Liu Bei really wanted to sit in the position of Yizhou pastor now. But he wasn't completely sure, and he always felt that something unexpected was going to happen. Liu Bei's ability to predict danger is extremely strong, and it is with this ability that he has been able to survive until now.

The country of abundance in Yizhou is in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Han Gaozu is based on this, as a place for troops, and finally able to dominate the world. Following the footsteps of this ancestor and achieving immortal hegemony, such a temptation made Liu Bei's heart itch.

"Yuan Zhi, I always feel a little inadequate." Liu Bei told what was in his heart.

Xu Shu knew that Liu Bei would worry about this and that, Liu Bei would want to estimate the result of failure in everything, although he could ensure his own safety, but for a long time, it would slowly affect the enterprising spirit of the whole person. This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Bei has been unable to achieve anything. At this point, Xu Shu couldn't let Liu Bei go on like this. If you waste any more opportunities and time, I'm afraid that Liu Yu will solve Cao Cao and turn around and attack Yizhou. If Yizhou was still in Liu Zhang's hands at that time, God knows if Liu Zhang, who was timid and afraid, would have surrendered directly.

"My lord, things in the world are never perfect. Throughout the ages, danger and opportunity coexist. Gaozu used the soldiers of Yizhou to secretly Chen Cang, captured Guanzhong, and competed with Xiang Yu for hegemony in the world, and was in danger several times. But Gaozu still dared to do what others did not dare to do, so he seized the opportunity to achieve the foundation of the Han family for hundreds of years. Not to mention, just look at Liu Yu, which time he is not acting at the risk of destruction. The greater the danger, the greater the gain. This is how Liu Yu became strong step by step. Isn't the lord still as good as Liu Yu? Xu Shu used the deeds of Han Gaozu to encourage Liu Bei, but he was worried that it was not enough, so he directly used Liu Yu to stimulate Liu Bei.

"I am the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han!" Liu Bei was aroused, and he asked himself if he was not much worse than Liu Yu.

"That's right!" Xu Shu was very happy in his heart. "My lord, Yizhou is the last hope of my lord. If the lord gives up, then...", Xu Shu did not say the latter sentence. But the meaning is very clear, if Liu Bei didn't take Yizhou, then there would be nothing to do with Liu Bei in the world, and Liu Bei would go directly to the mountains and forests and live the rest of his life well.

Of course Liu Bei knew this, he ran to Yizhou, and the whole Han was left with such a little place for him to rise again.

"Yuan Zhi, the matter of Yizhou can begin." Liu Bei's eyes showed a different brilliance.

Xu Shu was very happy, and Liu Bei finally made up his mind. Xu Shu must take down the entire Yizhou to Liu Bei completely this time.

Originally, Xu Shu had a comprehensive plan when he entered Yizhou, but he never thought that the actual situation in Yizhou was more complicated and serious than Xu Shu imagined. Liu Zhang is a little incompetent, but under his rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the forces of all parties are balanced. If you want to win Yizhou, the key point is Liu Zhang. But if there is no good excuse, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to make a move on Liu Zhang.

Being famous is a necessary bottom line in this era. Even if it's clear that it's fake, there must be a reason. This reason is very important, and it can be seriously related to how Liu Bei distributes benefits and appeases people's hearts in the future.

Xu Shu thought about it, but he couldn't think of how to use a good reason.

"Strategist, Mr. Fa is here to visit." While Xu Shu was thinking, the subordinates outside the door informed the arrival of Fazheng.

"Fa Xiaozhi? By the way, maybe he can give some good advice. Xu Shu thinks it's time for Fa Zheng to come.

Why did Fa Zheng come to Xu Shu? This kid has a bad stomach, and this time he came to plan to put some eye medicine on Xu Shu, so that Liu Bei would hate Liu Feng even more, so that Liu Feng could be used by Fazheng.

"Visiting late at night, I'm disturbing Xu Junshi." Fa Zheng apologized for his arrival.

"It doesn't matter! Filial piety comes, and the humble house is shining. I don't know that Xiaozhi is coming, so I have prepared some fruit tea, please take a seat. Xu Shu admired Fazheng's ability, and his tone was very soft.

After Fa Zheng joined Liu Bei, he gave full play to his advantages as a local snake, and every time he gave Liu Bei advice, he was to the point, which made Liu Bei and Xu Shu very surprised. Liu Bei secretly said to Xu Shu that when he came to Yizhou, the biggest gain was to bring Fa Zheng under his command. Xu Shu also thinks so.

Compared with Liao Li's sloppy slapper, Fa Zheng is meticulous in his work, especially stressing principles, and even a little too strict, resulting in not many people welcoming Fa Zheng at the beginning. But Xu Shu saw the difference between Fazheng. Didn't Fa Zheng just think that he was too upright, which led to offending most of the officials in Yizhou? Yizhou Don't Drive Zhang Song has made Fazheng a friend, which can see Fazheng's strength.

Isn't a powerful and upright person the most lacking around Liu Bei?

So Xu Shu and Liu Bei both recognized Fazheng.

"Excuse me." Fa Zheng was apologetic and sat opposite Xu Shu very unceremoniously.

After the two drank a cup of tea, Xu Shu asked Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, you came to visit late at night, I don't know what to advise?" ”

"The military division, Liu Yu and Cao Cao, fought a big battle, and it is estimated that it will be protracted. It is the best time for the Lord. But the lord is addicted to wine, and my heart is really uneasy. When I saw the lord yesterday, I seemed to be content with the status quo. Every time I thought about it for the past two days, I couldn't sleep. Tonight, I specially invited the military advisor to knock on the side, so that the lord would not miss the opportunity. Of course, Fa Zheng has thought of a reason, otherwise how could he come to visit late at night.

This reason shows Fa Zheng's loyalty to Liu Bei, and can make Xu Shu appreciate Fa Zheng even more.

"Why didn't Xiaozhi tell the Lord in person? You must know that the lord has always been humble and acceptable. Xu Shu asked rhetorically.

Fa Zheng scolded Xu Shu in his heart, and said to Liu Bei in person, isn't that just showing himself too much, and when the time comes, he will be caught by others, and how will he mix in the Shenwu Imperial Court in the future. Other people, Fa Zheng doesn't know, but Xu Shu is a talented guy, who knows if at the last moment, he will throw himself into the court and cause chaos to Fa Zheng in the future.

"Strategist, I'm a newcomer. During this period of time, giving advice to the Lord has caused some people to be unhappy. Liao Gongyuan seems to have a big opinion of me. In the lord's place, my talents can be displayed, and I don't want to cause unhappiness among my colleagues because of a few words of my own. After thinking about it, it is still a good policy for the military advisor to explain to the lord. "Fa Zheng's eloquence is very good.

Xu Shu understands that Fa Zheng has suffered losses before, and now that he is here with Liu Bei, he doesn't dare to mess around casually anymore, which is a good thing.

"There is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Fa Zheng pretended to be hesitant, and seemed to have a little difficulty in choosing.

Xu Shu said bluntly: "If you have anything to do with filial piety, just say it directly." ”

"Yesterday the lord was overjoyed, and ordered no one to spread it. Liao Gongyuan specifically mentioned the eldest prince, but the lord had that look. I think it is inappropriate at the time. After all, the eldest prince is the eldest son of the lord, if he conceals it, in the end, the eldest prince knows the details, and I am afraid that something unpleasant will happen. The worst happened. But it was learned by chance that the eldest prince already knew about it, and he complained about the lord's actions. Fa Zheng was about to carry Liu Feng out.

"Complaints? Filial piety, you can't talk nonsense! Xu Shu was very cautious about this rumor and didn't believe it.

Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "It's about the unity of our army, how dare you talk nonsense." The eldest prince and the lord are father and son, and even if they have a hundred guts, they don't dare to chew their tongues on this matter. ”

Xu Shu has been staring at Fa Zheng all the time, wanting to see if what Fa Zheng said is true. According to Xu Shu's cognition, Fa Zheng has never said anything bad about anyone, and there is a good chance that the words he said tonight are true. If Liu Feng has a complaint against Liu Bei, it will be really detrimental to internal unity. At the critical moment when Liu Bei was plotting for Yizhou, if Liu Feng made some trouble, it would affect the overall situation.

"In fact, there is something wrong with the lord's previous decision, so I will talk to the lord tomorrow. The eldest son, after all, is young, and he must be unstable in his work. You will be able to know these details. I really care about our army, and your loyalty will definitely be reported to the lord in the future! Xu Shu seemed to be confused by Fazheng.

"As long as the lord and the eldest prince don't have a diaphragm, they will be satisfied." Fa Zheng's face is loyal and honest, and he can't see the filth in his heart at all.

Xu Shu was so confused by Fazheng's loyalty and honesty that he couldn't see it at all.

can show Xu Shu that Fa Zheng will not dare to come over as an undercover agent.
