Xiangyang, Longzhong.

"Gongtai, you said you want to come?" Zhang Fei looked at Chen Gong with an incredulous expression, and his voice almost roared: "My brother came to the door in person, and Zhuge Kongming closed and didn't see it, I really can't wait for a fool!?" ”

"Three generals!" Chen Gong frowned and said, "If the lord wants to get the support of the Jingzhou clan, he must get the support of this Mr. Kong Ming. ”

Chen Gong has followed Liu Bei since Xuzhou, and has given advice to Liu Bei over the years, although he did not help Liu Bei gain a foothold, but his ability has also been recognized by Liu Bei and the three of them, and it was the team of Yuan Shu for Liu Bei back then.

"There are so many famous people in Jizhou, why do you have to have that villager?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

Today's Liu Bei is only a piece of land worse than the princes, if he just wants to get the support of the Jingzhou scholars, who can't he find? Do you have to look for Zhuge Liang?

"It's not that easy!" Chen Gong turned his head, glanced in the direction of Wollongong, shook his head and sighed: "Didn't the three generals find out that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and the Kuai clan and others are very repulsive to the lord?" ”

"So what? Am I afraid of them? Zhang Fei said disdainfully, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have no ability, they are often defeated generals in wars, and Lu Bu can't beat Lu Bu when he is there, and now Lu Bu is gone, and he is bullied by Zhang Liao, if it weren't for Ji Lingshou in the Xinye area, maybe he would have been beaten by someone when he would.

For the Jingzhou Army, Zhang Fei really doesn't think much of it.

"I'm not afraid, but the four clans of Cai Kuai, Pang and Huang, if the lord wants to sit firmly in Jingxiang, these four clans can't get around, the king of Chu was able to go down to Jingzhou on horseback, it was because of the strong support of Cai and Kuai that there is today's trend." Chen Gong patiently explained to Zhang Fei, and at the same time told Guan Yu that as the two generals under Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have a very special status in Liu Bei's group, this official position does not matter, and they will definitely have to be in charge in the future, Chen Gong has to clear these things up to the two of them, so as not to make mistakes between the two in the future.

"Sir, what does this Zhuge Kongming have to do with it?" Guan Yu was puzzled, the Zhuge family is not a local scholar family in Jingzhou, but from Xuzhou, if in Xuzhou, it makes sense to win over the Zhuge family, but now in this situation, instead of winning over the four major families, he came to invite Zhuge Liang, what is this?

"Although the Zhuge family is not a local scholar, but it is deeply rooted in this place, Yun Chang can know that Zhuge Liang has two sisters, the eldest sister is married to Kuai Qi, the second sister is married to Pang Shanmin, and his wife Huang is the daughter of Huang Chengyan." Chen Gong smiled and said, Zhuge Liang alone has an in-law relationship with the Kuai family, Pang family, and Huang family, which is why Chen Gong strongly persuaded Liu Bei to come to recruit Zhuge Liang in person.

"In addition, Zhuge Liang is from Lumen, known as Wolong, his talent can be compared to Guan Zhong Leyi, if the lord can get the help of this person, the situation will change in the future, which is enough for the lord to gain a firm foothold in this Jingxiang land." Chen Gong said with a smile, although he had never seen Zhuge Liang, he had indeed heard of Zhuge Liang's name.

"Gongtai, how is this Mr. Zhuge better than Gongtai?" Liu Bei said curiously.

"A hundred times better than me." Chen Gong said with a smile as he walked.

A hundred times Liu Bei didn't believe it, but Chen Gong said so, thinking that it shouldn't be bad to come to this Zhuge Liang, he nodded silently when he heard the words and said: "Since that's the case, then according to the words of the public platform, come back after a while." ”

After a group of four people left Wollongong, they rushed back to Fancheng on horseback, passing through Xiangyang, Liu Bei wanted to visit Liu Biao, but he saw Cai Mao traveling with people, during this time Cai Mao rejected and suppressed Liu Bei quite badly, Liu Bei didn't want to see him, so he simply took people to take the initiative to avoid and leave directly.

Recently, Liu Biao's health is not very good, and his wife Cai Shi asked Liu Biao to pass the throne to his second son Liu Cong, which made Liu Bei quite anxious.

When he returned to Fancheng, he saw Yan Xiang talking and laughing with a group of scholars again, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"You don't have to." Liu Bei sat down with a smile and motioned for everyone to continue chatting, seeing that Jian Yong and Sun Gan had poor faces, he said curiously: "What are you discussing?" ”

"Xuande Gong, I'll talk about Chen Mo's slaughter of Karasuma this time." A scribe smiled.

Liu Bei suddenly heard this, now in Jingzhou Shilin, the most controversial is this matter, Chen Mo's northern expedition, Karasuma was almost wiped out, many people think that Chen Mo is too brutal, but Liu Bei, who came from Youzhou, can probably understand why Chen Mo did this.

"What does Xuan Degong think about this?" A scholar looked at Liu Bei and smiled.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile and sighed lightly: "After this battle, the Marquis of Changling has won the hearts of the people of the Northland. ”

He didn't say anything right or wrong, Jingzhou has been prosperous since Liu Biao, and the literary style is prosperous, and different people naturally have different views on whether this matter is right or wrong, Liu Bei approves of Chen Mo's approach, but there is no need to argue with others about it, there is no need, just say one fact, after this battle, don't say anything else, but he is sure that the hearts of the people in Youzhou and Jizhou, Chen Mo has gotten it.

Without going through trouble, I will never know the pain of the people in the north, Liu Bei and they have experienced it, so they understand the significance of Chen Mo's move.

When everyone heard this, many people frowned, and they didn't understand why Liu Bei, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness, would recognize Chen Mo in this matter?

"You have never been to the Northland, you don't understand the hatred of the people of the Northland, Chen Mo's move, although it is cruel, but it also relieved the hatred of the people of the Northland for many years, not to mention that although this battle is very killing, but it also deters the foreign races, in the next few years or even decades, you can teach the Hu people in the north not to easily provoke our Han people, although the killing is heavy, but for my Han, it is a merit to the world." Chen Gong smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere.

When everyone heard this, they didn't say much, but began to talk about the situation today, and their eyes fell on the battlefield in the Central Plains.

At this time, the two heroes in the north stood side by side, and the battle of the Central Plains was only a matter of time, and many people speculated with great interest that if Chen Mo and Cao Cao started a full-scale war, would Jingzhou have the opportunity to wave his troops north, take the opportunity to capture Nanyang or even Luoyang, and drive Chen Mo back to Guanzhong.

"How dare you say it!" Zhang Fei pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this, and said to Guan Yu beside him.

The current Jingzhou, even Zhang Liaodou can't deal with it, even if there is a war between Chen Mo and Cao Cao, why should Jingzhou fight with others? Just by virtue of the ridiculous record of being beaten by Lu Bu a few times before, he didn't dare to cross the river?

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, took over the topic with a smile and said: "I'm afraid not, if Chen Cao starts a war, I, Jingxiang, still need to guard against that Sun Ce's attack, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to enter Nanyang, let alone Luoyang." ”

Chen Gong nodded approvingly, Cao Cao and Chen Mo are not fuel-efficient lamps.

After Liu Bei talked with everyone for a long time, everyone said goodbye and left one by one, Liu Bei took everyone back to the government office, but his brows gradually wrinkled, whether it was Chen Mo or Cao Cao, no matter who these two people win, I am afraid it is not a good thing for them.

"The lord is worried about the Chen Cao family?" Chen Gong came to Liu Bei and smiled.

"Alas~" Liu Bei saw Chen Gong, nodded and sighed: "These two are thieves of the Han family, no matter who wins in the end, it is not the blessing of the Han family." ”

"The lord doesn't need to worry about this, as long as we can occupy Jingzhou before the two of them decide the winner, no matter who wins in the end, we will have enough strength to go north at that time, at least it will not be a problem to collect Nanyang." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"I hope so." Liu Bei nodded, although Jingzhou's surname was Liu at the moment, it had nothing to do with him Liu Bei, and then asked: "Gongtai, is Kong Ming really as powerful as Gongtai said?" ”

Today's Liu Bei has Chen Gong and Yan Xiang as strategists by his side, and in terms of strategists, there is naturally a demand, but the demand is not too great.

"Mr. Decao once said, Wolong and phoenix chicks, you have to settle the world, this Zhuge Kongming is Wolong, its talent is rare in the world, no less than Cao Cao's Xun Yu, Chen Mo's Xu Shu!" Chen Gong smiled.

Under Cao Cao, Xun Yu is the top strategist around Cao Cao, and can help Cao Cao stabilize the rear, and Xu Shu under Chen Mo is also rare in the world, and now under Chen Mo, he can be on his own, not under Xun Yu, comparing Zhuge Liang with these two, it can be said to be a very high evaluation.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "In a few days, I will visit again." ”

"The lord doesn't need to be so anxious, it's not good to be too often." Chen Gong persuaded.

"Good!" When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded approvingly.
