"I know what the military advisor means, the military advisor is saying that Lu Bu is now strong and middle-class, and he has no intention of caring about him, since we are unable to go on the Northern Expedition, we can capture other counties and counties, and take advantage of Lu Bu's rest to expand our army's territory, enhance the strength of our army, and then wait for the opportunity to compete with Lu Bu!"

Wei Yan's eyes lit up, since he took refuge in Liu Bei, he was very trusted by Liu Bei, he was named a general of Yangwei, commanded tens of thousands of horses, and had the ambition to serve the lord loyally, but Lu Bu had no choice but to withdraw the army, and the war in Jingzhou came to an end, making him sigh that there was no place for him to use it anymore. At this time, I understood the meaning of Xu You's words, and suddenly came to my senses.

"Wen Chang is really a general, yes, Lu Bu's internal affairs are in a mess, and in the future, he will definitely take stabilizing internal affairs as the first priority, and he will definitely temporarily change to a strategic defensive posture militarily, which just gives our army an opportunity to take advantage of. We all know that Kong Ming once planned great things for the imperial uncle in Longzhong, and had already agreed to take Jingzhou first, then Yizhou, and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to restore the Han Dynasty. Isn't this the time I've been waiting for a long time? ”

Looking at Xu You's smug eyes, Liu Bei finally felt a little in a trance, when Longzhong was right, Zhuge Liang planned the future strategic direction for him, the north has its own Lu Bu and Cao Cao two people to compete for power, no matter who wins and who loses, the north is not something they can touch, Jiangdong has Sun Quan, after years of operation, has been deeply rooted, and the terrain is dangerous to have the Yangtze River natural insurance, its headquarters can be regarded as impregnable.

The only things left for Liu Bei to fight for are Liu Biao's Jingzhou and Liu Zhang's Yizhou. Liu Biao is old and weak, Liu Zhang is mediocre, the great rivers and mountains are in their hands, and sooner or later they will be reduced to other people's fish and meat, Liu Bei will not take it, and others will take it in the future.

Therefore, just when Liu Biao died, Liu Bei won over the unfavored Liu Qi, and under the banner of Liu Jingzhou's eldest son, he mobilized troops to capture the vast land of Jingzhou

But even so, Liu Bei still occupies Xiangyang, Nanjun, Lingling, Changsha, Wuling and other counties, if the jurisdiction is vast, it is better than his Xuzhou back then.

It is because of the taste of eating marrow, Liu Bei has long coveted the rich land of Yizhou, the fertile land of Shu can raise people and soldiers, Emperor Gaozu was developed from Shu, Liu Zhang is just a walking corpse, how can he live in the temple without asking about the world's major affairs, the territory of the Han Dynasty has a virtuous person to live in, although Liu Zhang is a royal clan with him, Liu Zhang's wisdom is not worthy of such a rich land, since sooner or later it will be taken away, the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, it is better to be cheap than cheap He Liu Bei, at this time do not take more when!

Liu Bei in this life is not as bumpy as in the history books, the resources have always been very good, at most it is bad luck, so he does not attach much importance to the reputation of loyalty and righteousness, and Jingzhou, which took Liu Biao, is already a clever robbery.

"But Ji Yu and I are both members of the Liu royal family, and they are both protected by our ancestors and enshrined by the emperor, how can I use my troops in vain to avoid being scolded by others?"

Although Liu Bei is willing to send troops to Yizhou in his heart, he still can't open his face after all, there is no legitimate reason, he can't give up his face, do those evil things that ruin his reputation, and always find a reasonable reason to stop the mouths of people in the world.

"I forgot that a few days ago, a military report came, just half a month ago, Zhang Lu defeated Ma Chao's cavalry at Yangping Pass, and captured 10,000 horses from Xiliang War. Chen Gong deliberately reminded Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suddenly realized: "Is the military advisor saying that Zhang Lu will raise troops to fight against Liu Jiyu?" ”

Xu You smiled and said nothing, obviously this is exactly what he meant.

"The military advisors want to say that Liu Zhang will ask my brother for help, and then we can lead troops into Xichuan, which can be regarded as justifiable." Guan Yu finally opened his squinted eyes, and his face was a little red, perhaps because of his excitement, and he even spoke a little affectionately.

"There's a fight? I would like to be a pioneer and open the way for the army. Zhang Fei rolled up his sleeves, he had been sitting uncomfortably for half a day, I really didn't understand that he, the eldest brother, had something to discuss with a few military advisors, and he had to let him come to make up the numbers, he couldn't get these tricks and tricks at all, listening to them for a long time, Zhang Fei's head was bigger, and he only felt that sitting here was more uncomfortable than being in prison.

Liu Bei was happy in his heart, and laughed and said: "Haha, don't worry, the third brother will inevitably be indispensable when the time comes, and when it comes to bravery, I think only the second brother in this world can match you." ”

Sure enough, just a few days later, that is, on the day of the military parade in Lu Bu, Liu Bei received a letter from Liu Zhang from Xichuan, in the letter, Liu Zhang's sincerity, the pride of being a descendant of the Liu family, and congratulated Liu Bei on his achievements today.

Liu Bei received the letter, naturally overjoyed, but there was a request in his heart that had to make Liu Bei have some scruples, it turned out that Liu Zhang was also afraid of luring wolves into the room, lest Liu Bei occupy the magpie's nest, the letter euphemistically asked Liu Bei to bring only 10,000 cavalry immediately, he was confident that as long as Liu Bei's cavalry to contain Zhang Lu's cavalry, then the rest of the other troops, Liu Zhang did not care.

This time Liu Bei is not going, and it is not if he does not go. If you go, you will lead the lone army into Yizhou, only 10,000 cavalry will not be of much help to the war, just want to use these cavalry to conquer the city, I am afraid it is not easy. If you don't go, you will inevitably offend Liu Zhang, and if you want to enter Sichuan again, I'm afraid you will never have a chance again, in case Zhang Lu captures Yizhou, all the previous plans will be in vain.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to worry, Liu Zhang is pretending to be a gesture, he is clearly at the end of the road, and he is not sure that he will defeat Zhang Lu's army, so he will ask us for help." The lord doesn't have to be busy replying, just delay here for a few days, and Liu Zhang will definitely ask the lord for help again. ”

In Liu Bei's general letter, three days later, Liu Zhang, who had not received a reply, sent another messenger, this time the messenger's name was Zhang Song, who was Liu Zhang's confidant. Zhang Song said clearly, Zhang Lu has broken through the Xiameng Pass, the soldiers pointed directly at Zitong, all the way through the generals, no one can stop them, Liu Zhang hopes that Liu Bei can help as soon as possible, this time he hopes that Liu Bei can bring enough soldiers and horses, otherwise he is afraid that it will be difficult to stop Zhang Lu's army

And just when Liu Bei was reorganizing his troops and horses and preparing to go to Xichuan to "support" Liu Jiyu, a news came from Bingzhou that shocked him enough: Lu Bu was called king!

Lü Bu proclaimed himself King of Jin, the first king with a different surname after the White Horse Covenant in the Han Dynasty.
