Thanks to the tips of the dreamless book friends, I pay for the text every month-

Although Deng Yi is a third-rate general, if you want to say that he doesn't understand anything, it must not be. But at this moment, he said this, but it was not for anything else, that is, he thought that he wanted to follow his Mr. Zichu, what Mr. Zichu said, as long as he felt that it was reasonable, then he had to support it to the end, so he said it directly after Liu Ba finished speaking.

After listening to what Deng Yi said, Liu Bei smiled at him and nodded, and then continued, "Zhongye, what do you think?" ”

This time, Liu Bei asked Wen Ping directly, after all, among the rest of the people, that is, Wen Ping has some strategies, as for Wen Chou, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao, they really can't expect anything.

Wen Ping also said, "My lord, my subordinates are also seconded, now our army should really look for allies, or it will be difficult to develop in Jingzhou!" ”

This is also what Xu Shu and Liu Ba want to say, but it is indeed the case. And they also know what they think, and their lord will not not understand, so they ......-

Of course, Liu Bei was the last to make a decision, and Liu Bei asked Wen Chou how many of them, and of course a few of them would not object, so Liu Bei said the most reluctantly. "Guys, if that's the case, then let's do what you say. Our army should find a reliable ally in order to carry out the next strategy! ”

Everyone couldn't stop nodding, and the last one said in unison, "The lord is wise!" ”

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart Don't pat the horse, it's useless to pat the horse, but he raised his hands at this time and quieted everyone down. I heard him say: "Everyone, although our army is looking for allies, who is this ally looking for? I wonder what you all think? ”

Yes, although the lord also agreed to find an ally and unite together, but who is this ally looking for? That's another problem. And so the people thought—

First of all, this ally must not be able to choose the side of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, for what reason, just because his own side is hostile to him. Although there may never be an eternal enemy, as long as he Cao Mengde has always been "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", then Liu Bei will have a hostile relationship with him, and there will be no change. After all, in Liu Bei's view, Cao Cao belonged to a great rebellion and a thief. As for Liu Bei, he is the uncle of the Han Emperor. It's Kuangfu Han's, so can the two cooperate?

Because of the position of the two, the two are destined to be enemies. Of course, this doesn't mean that you can never cooperate, it's just that what kind of cooperation this cooperation is, how long you can cooperate, and how long you can cooperate, and there are other messy things.

But one thing is certain, that is, the ally that he is looking for in Jingzhou now will definitely not be his Cao Mengde Yanzhou army.

Xu Shu said, "Lord, our army ......"

Xu Shu couldn't unite with Cao Cao, to put it simply, everyone understood, so they didn't say much-

Liu Bei nodded, and then asked Xu Shu and said, "Then according to Yuanzhi's intentions, who should be more advantageous for our army to form an alliance?" ”

Xu Shu smiled, "Lord, if the lord believes in his subordinates, then the subordinates mean that it is most beneficial for our army to unite with Sun Bofu Jiangdong Army!" ”

After Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Yuan Zhi say that?" Could it be that Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army? ”

Xu Shu shook his head with a smile, "My lord, it's not that Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army can't do it, but if our army wants to get more and greater benefits, it should actually unite with Sun Bofu Jiangdong Army!" ”

"I want to hear about it!"

For things he doesn't understand very well, Liu Bei does have the spirit of asking without shame, so he asked directly, at this time he was waiting for Xu Shu to answer his doubts-

"My lord, please think about it, Ma Mengqi can be said to be much stronger than our army, but Sun Bofu is not much stronger than our army, so our army is not united with the strong, and we should find a party that is almost the same as us!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he said in his heart, too. Cao Cao is definitely impossible, so if you choose one of the two Ma Mengqi and Sun Bofu, then the Liangzhou Army is too strong, so choosing the Jiangdong Army may be the most in line with your current development.

"And?"

Looking at Xu Shu, Liu Bei felt that his subordinate didn't seem to finish speaking, and it seemed that he still had to say it, so he asked.

Xu Shu smiled, "Don't forget, my lord, now our army has come to the waters of the Yangtze River, and the Jiangdong Army is the first in the world, so uniting with it will definitely be more beneficial to our army!" ”

Liu Bei felt that what Xu Shu said made sense, he also needed to train the navy, even if there was a surrendered Jingzhou navy, but it was not enough, and he would have to continue to train the navy in the future, and in this regard, the Jiangdong military family was an expert, so if someone could help, then it would be really good-

Liu Bei also had to admit that Xu Shu's words were indeed very reasonable. It is not in alliance with Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army, but it is in line with Sun Bofu Jiangdong Army, so it is in line with his own interests in Jingzhou.

"Okay, Yuan Zhi's words are very reasonable!"

Getting the affirmation of his lord, Xu Shu just smiled and didn't say anything more. There's not much to say, what I should have said is actually all over.

I heard Liu Bei ask at this time, "I don't know what Yuan Zhi said, what do you think?" Speak your mind and don't have to worry about it! ”

Liu Bei felt that he still had to say it first, or if he didn't speak, it would be much more embarrassing.

However, Liu Bei's subordinates were still very fast, and as soon as his words fell, someone came out to speak. And it was no one else who spoke, it was Jingxiang celebrities, Liu Ba and Liu Zichu. After Xu Shu finished speaking, it was still his second speech-

At this time, Liu Ba glanced at his lord, and then at everyone, and then he said, "Lord, what Yuan Zhi said before, his subordinates agree with it!" Now for our army, it is to find allies, and among the two of Ma Mengqi and Sun Bofu, their subordinates also think that they should unite with Sun Bofu. And his subordinates felt that if they united with Ma Mengqi, this degree of difficulty would definitely be worse than that of uniting with Sun Bofu! ”

In Liu Ba's opinion, Ma Chao will not unite with others, but Sun Ce is different, he is very likely. After all, the Quartet of Jingzhou now, it can be said that his own side and Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army are relatively weak, while Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army and Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army are relatively strong, so the weak and weak can be united, so it is beneficial to both sides. As for Ma Chao and Cao Cao, Liu Ba believes that they will not unite with others.

Liu Bei also had to admit that Liu Ba's words, he was quite right, it can be said that the most needed allies are actually his own side and his grandson Fu Jiangdong Army. As for Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army, in my opinion, there is no need for this-

"Yes, what Zichu said is very true, very reasonable!"

Liu Ba smiled, and then Liu Bei asked the others again, but everyone still agreed, and hurried to Chenxian County, Guiyang, to meet Sun Ce and discuss the alliance.

Liu Bei saw that everyone agreed, so he said later, "I don't know who wants to go to Chenxian?" ”

Liu Ba said, "My lord, my subordinates have been in the past, and this matter should not be compromised!" ”

Liu Bei saw that he was still satisfied with Liu Ba, after all, the people he could get his hands on in Quanling City now were Xu Shu and Liu Ba. But now that he has to rely on Xu Shu, he can't leave, so it's just right for Liu Ba to leave. And he is a famous person in Jingxiang, and he also has some reputation in Jiangdong, Sun Ce can't be ignorant, so he won't slack off.

But if you let Xu Shu go, it's true, he doesn't have the same reputation as Liu Ba. So Liu Ba recommended himself to go to Guiyang, Liu Bei was very satisfied, and he was very happy-

"Okay, Zichu went to Guiyang, I don't worry! Then at this time, please Zichu! ”

"No! Please rest assured that your subordinates will be able to complete the task and return as soon as possible! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, he did have confidence in Liu Ba, basically this kind of thing, if he went out, there would be no problem. Unless he, Sun Bofu, doesn't want to unite at all, this shouldn't be possible, after all, this matter is "cooperation is two benefits, and division is two harms", so Liu Bei doesn't think Sun Ce can't even understand this.
