Chapter 1258: Opportunity
"Mu Zhuangshi entered Xuchang for His Majesty's edict to order the princes to crusade against Cao Cao?!!" Liu Bei's face was full of surprise, he looked back at Zhuge Liang's warm and bright eyes, and he couldn't have imagined that Zhuge Liang's expectation turned out to be true!
"Naturally, it is for the sake of the edict, everyone in the world thinks that the imperial tomb was burned, and there is already a lot of insiders, but they don't know it, and there are many mysteries in it......" Mu Yang hiccuped, and his eyes were almost unable to open. The only thing he saw was a bed in the middle of the day, so he threw himself on the bed like a dead pig, and continued to hum and chirp drunken words: "The world, the world, are too small to look down on the shadows. It's too, too small to look down on the lord...... Above the shadows is politics, conspiracy, not something that little people like us can access and understand......."
The last sentence can be described as the voice of the shadow, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang couldn't care about a few sighs. At this time, the three of them were in Mu Yang's bedroom. The previous banquet and drink, maybe Mu Yang was in love with Chang'an, or maybe he didn't like Zhang Fei, anyway, after the five flavors of the dish, Mu Yang toasted with the famous generals and strategists under Liu Bei one by one, especially in the end, Zhang Fei fought the wine. Everyone also had this intention, and after a while, Mu Yang got drunk.
That banquet was prepared for Mu Yang, and Liu Bei, as the host, fulfilled the friendship of the landlord. Just chatting on the way, Mu Yang suddenly seemed to feel something, and said his anger and reluctance to be driven out of the shadow by Ma Chao, and then talked about the glory and importance of the shadow. After that drunken talk, Liu Bei went from intermittent unintentional stubble at the beginning, to listening attentively later, and finally to his face in horror, which can be described as extremely exciting.
"A military advisor, an espionage unit, can influence the overall situation of the world like this?" Looking at Mu Yang, who was already snoring like the sky, Liu Bei sat down on a chair and asked Zhuge Liang. Although he also took the establishment of the spy force to heart before, at this time, he already felt that he couldn't wait.
"A sharp blade is a sharp weapon for chivalry and righteousness in the hands of a ranger, but in the hands of a merchant, it can only be hung on a sword rack and can never be unsheathed." Zhuge Liang was a little light-hearted, and brought the topic back to the topic: "I just didn't expect that Ma Chao would pinch the lifeblood of the Cao family so much, so it seems that if the lord wants to make a difference in Jingzhou, the reaction of the Cao family is absolutely unbelievable." After a pause, Zhuge Liang said again: "Also, no wonder Cai Mao is now moving frequently and aggressively, it turns out that he is suspicious." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Bei was confused when he heard this, and asked tentatively: "Cai Mao has indeed been practicing martial arts frequently recently, and he has also had close contacts with the wealthy family in Xiangyang, but is this also related to the Cao clan in Yanzhou?" ”
"The lord doesn't know that behind Cai Mao, it is very likely that it is Cao Cao. The two had a friendship of worshipping their mother in Luoyang, and Cao Cao was worried about internal and external turmoil before, so he naturally wanted to lead the eyes of those people in Xuchang to the outside. Therefore, after Liu Jingzhou suddenly fell seriously ill, Cai Mao was ready to move, making those people in Xuchang mistakenly think that the Cao family would do something to Jingzhou. But he, Cao Cao, played a spear, and the soldiers pointed straight at Qingzhou, catching Yuan Tan off guard. But now that the Cao family is pinched by Ma Chao, they have a lot of scruples about the Ma family, and naturally they are unable to get involved in Jingzhou again. Therefore, Cai Mao seems to be aggressive this time, but in fact, she wants to calm down the situation. ”
"If you don't attack it, you don't attack it, Cai Mao's methods are probably also guided by Cao Cao." Liu Bei nodded in approval, and then he revealed the unique habits of an excellent leader, and asked: "Military advisor, the matter has come to this, what can I do about it?" ”
Yes, a good leader never cares about how things happen, they only think about how they should respond to things after they happen. After Zhuge Liang heard this question, his warm face showed a hint of admiration and appreciation, but he didn't answer immediately, but straightened up, looked at the flowers and plants outside the guest room, and poured the water in the cup into the flower garden: "Lord, Liang's four-point strategy for the world has been explained in detail to the lord, and the two-step strategy to deal with Jingzhou has been completely ......."
The first of Zhuge Liang's two strategies in Jingzhou is to dig Ma Chao's corner, he said
Here, the two glanced at Mu Yang on the couch at the same time: Although this person refused Liu Bei's award today, it allowed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to control his biggest weakness - he didn't miss the Ma family, but he felt that the chips given by Liu Bei were not enough. Moreover, after drinking, he personally entered Xuchang to steal the edict of clothes, and then talked about it, isn't this showing off?
Therefore, in the future, Liu Bei only needs to promise heavy profits and give a false name, and this Mu Yang will not escape at all. As a result, when the two of them withdrew their eyes from Mu Yang at the same time, Liu Bei nodded to Zhuge Liang and motioned for Zhuge Liang to continue.
"This first step is actually only superficial, but presumably the lord will soon be able to use this person like an arm." After Mu Yang's topic passed a little, Zhuge Liang's expression began to be solemn again: "And the second step is a little difficult, Liang knows that the lord has recently had a relationship with Liu Jingzhou's eldest son, Liu Qi, which is very good." However, originally we thought that Cai Mao might use the power of the Cao family to help Mrs. Cai's second son Liu Cong to the right position, but at present, it seems that Cai Mao will definitely not act rashly. In the meantime, there must be some changes. ”
"Military advisor, Bei Xin has always been unclear about the dispute between the concubines. Liu Qi is cowardly, unwise and greedy for wine, and it is indeed easier to be a puppet. However, after we put it on the position of Jingzhou Assassin in this way, we can manipulate Jingzhou at will? ”
"Naturally, it's not so simple, provoking the dispute between the elders and the young is just an opportunity. Jingzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, the people are rich, and the three princes of the Ma family, the Cao family, and the Sun family are all salivating, if we don't stir up this behind-the-scenes force, how can we act and take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the fire? In the end, Zhuge Liang felt that his explanation was not clear enough, and said metaphorically: "Today's Jingzhou is a backwater beach, which looks calm and abnormal on the surface, but the forces of all parties have long been mixed in it, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. ”
"The intention of the military advisor, we want to be the one who secretly sends the gust of wind, and we also want to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai when the waves are raging, and finally wait for the wind and waves to calm down, and then use the power of four taels to move a thousand catties and put the entire Jingzhou bag into our hands?" Liu Bei couldn't help but stand up when he said this, and after walking back and forth for two steps, his excitement calmed down: "No wonder the military advisor has been ordering Bei to provoke such unfortunate things in the family, it turns out that only such secret things can be easy to control and provoke Jingzhou!" ”
Zhuge Liang didn't reply, but Liu Bei was a little restless, he flicked his sleeves back and forth, frowned and said: "But now the Cao family is afraid of the Ma family and does not dare to get involved in Jingzhou, and Cai Mao will also die down." There is no reason for this dispute between the concubines, so how should it be provoked? ”
The problem is back to the far point, but it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for Zhuge Liang. In fact, Liu Bei found that everything seemed to have been predicted in front of Zhuge Liang. I saw Zhuge Liang gently shake the goose feather fan, and a mocking smile flashed in his eyes: "The lord doesn't know, we don't need to set off this gust of wind, I'm afraid Jingzhou is already going to have no wind and waves?" During this period of time, the lord only needs to settle down his subordinates and continue to associate with the Jingzhou clan and Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, according to the plan. Liang dares to guarantee that within three days, Liu Jingzhou's serious illness may recur again. And ......"
"What?"
"And this time it will definitely not get better halfway......"
"Is the military advisor saying that the person behind the manipulation of Liu Yuanjun's illness is going to do it again?" Liu Bei touched the person who was at the end of the story, and when Zhuge Liang said this, he guessed the situation: "Then who is the person behind the scenes?" Is it the Ma family who reined in their minions, or the Sun family who recovered from their injuries, or the Cao family who was desperate? ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head, although he had already argued with Ma Chao in the grass house about this matter, and knew that Sun Ce would continue to act against Jingzhou after his injury was healed, but he would not tell Liu Bei everything without reservation. Liu Bei is naturally also a person who knows and understands, and when he saw Zhuge Liang smiling and silent, he no longer planned to ask.
However, at this moment, someone outside the door suddenly reported: "Lord, Liu Jingzhou is seriously ill, and he urgently summons the lord to discuss the matter!" ”
