Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he suddenly understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

Zhuge Liang asked him to follow the same method when he recruited the Qiang people, named the leaders of the Xiongnu and Xianbei as kings, and ceded the border states to them.

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and even Zhang Fei were silent, and adopted a tacit attitude towards Zhuge Liang's strategy.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister is planning this, absolutely not!"

In the silence, there was an angry voice, singing the opposite.

Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and he looked at the ministers, and saw that the person who spoke out against it was Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei didn't speak, and looked at Zhuge Liang.

After all, ceding land to the Hu people is really a disgraceful strategy for an emperor who prides himself on being the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei can't open his mouth to agree.

He had to hear that Zhuge Liang had enough reasons to subdue Zhao Yun's opposition and lay the ladder for him before he could make a decision.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun and asked coldly: "Since Your Majesty can crown the Qiang people as kings, why can't you seal the Xiongnu Xianbei, I don't know why you want to oppose Zilong?" ”

Zhao Yunzheng said: "Although Your Majesty made the Qiang people kings and divided Jincheng County to the Qiang people, Jincheng County is located in the west after all, far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there is Longshan Mountain in the middle. ”

"Let's talk about the Huns first, they have occupied the five counties in the north of Bingzhou, if Your Majesty divides their land, you can only divide the entire Bingzhou to them, and then the Huns' iron hooves will reach the Yellow River, and you can threaten Chang'an to the west, Luoyang to the east, and directly threaten the hinterland of Liangjing!"

"And the Xianbei people, if Your Majesty wants to divide their land, you can only give them the northern part of Youzhou, and when the northern sky is completely lost, the Xianbei iron cavalry can drive south along the Youji Plain, and within a few days you can kill the Yellow River, and no one can stop it."

"If Your Majesty uses the prime minister's strategy, although it can temporarily relieve the pressure on us, it is equivalent to giving up all the geographical advantages in the north to the Hu people, and when these Hu people take the opportunity to grow, when they ride south, the whole of China will not change the dynasty, but to destroy the race!"

As soon as Zhao Yun spoke, Liu Bei's heart shook when he heard it, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat.

"Prime Minister, Zilong's words are not unreasonable." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang tremblingly.

Zhuge Liang had a calm expression, shook the feather fan lightly, and said lightly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, Zilong, don't you think that such a simple truth, the true phase will not know?" ”

Zhao Yun was stunned.

Zhuge Liang then said: "If it weren't for the last resort, how could I take this risk and lead the Hu people into the plug, all of this is not forced by the situation, but by the Su thief." ”

"Think about it, if we don't do this, Yongliang Erzhou may not be able to keep it, and the whole of Huaxia will fall into the hands of that Su thief!"

"The world is gone, is there a threat from the Hu clan in the border state at that time, is there any point?"

Zhao Yun was silent, and stopped talking several times.

He also knew Zhuge Liang's difficulty, leading the Hu people into the fortress, and the Han Dynasty could still continue its life, but if he didn't do this, he might be destroyed by the Wei State this time.

Zhuge Liang's proposal was also a last resort.

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhao Yun did not refute, and took advantage of the situation and said: "When Gaozu founded the country, the Xiongnu were so strong, just wait for my Han to recover the national strength, it is not the one who was killed who escaped, and the one who surrendered to surrender." ”

"Therefore, as long as we can borrow the hands of the Hu people to get through this difficulty, we will destroy the Wei State in the future, and rejuvenate our Han Dynasty, what Xianbei Huns, sooner or later we will not be expelled from the Sai and surrender to our Han Dynasty."

"So, we're going to look at the longer term."

Zhao Yun sighed and said silently: "What Prime Minister Zhuge said, Yun also understands, it's just that the Han Dynasty has been founded for 400 years, how many soldiers have been sacrificed, and after the painstaking management of the first emperors of several dynasties, the northern Hu people have been subdued, and now Your Majesty wants to ask them for help, and I am afraid that it will really damage the prestige of my Han Dynasty." ”

Zhuge Liang disagreed: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, even Gaozu had the siege of Pingcheng back then, and had to make peace with the Huns, so as to win more than 70 years of recuperation for the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhuge Liang is like a river, and his argument is unparalleled in the world, after these words, he actually made Zhao Yun speechless, and there was no way to refute it.

Zhao Yun had nothing to say, and the rest of the generals were even more speechless, and their eyes looked at Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang had already paved the steps for the team, and he was waiting for him to go down by himself.

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists, and said resolutely: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, as long as you can help the Han and prevent the people of the world from falling into the hands of Su Zhe's tyrant, how about learning from that Gou Jian, and lying on your salary and tasting courage!" ”

At that moment, Liu Bei passed down the will, selected three envoys who could speak well, and immediately went out with generous gifts, entered the grassland from Beidi County, and asked the Xiongnu and Xianbei people for help.

After the plan was agreed, the envoy was also sent out, and Liu Bei let out a long breath.

At this moment, General Pang De hurriedly entered, with a solemn face, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the north, Pubanguan has fallen!" ”

Deathly silence.

The entire Tongguan lobby became surprisingly quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes looked at Pang De in surprise.

That look looked as if Pound had played a big joke on them.

Moreover, it is still a cold joke that is not funny at all.

"Pound, what do you say, you say it again?" Liu Bei rubbed his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Pang De took a deep breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report of eight hundred miles from the north, the Wei army crossed the river on ice in the early morning of the day before yesterday, and captured Puban Pass by surprise, General Wu Yi was killed in battle, and the 15,000 defenders were almost wiped out. ”

Plop!

Liu Bei's legs were weak, and he sat on the dragon throne with his buttocks, his gray face was twitching, and his deep-set eyes were instantly filled with endless horror.

For a moment, he was stunned, like a frightened child, completely losing his mind.

After the deathly silence, the lobby instantly exploded like a pot, and fell into unprecedented chaos.

"How is it possible, Wu Yi is not a waste, and Pubanguan is not a papier-mâché, how can it fall so quickly?" Zhang Fei shouted excitedly.

"The Wei army's soldiers and horses on the other side are no more than 50,000, with such a number of soldiers and horses, even if you want to besiege Puban Pass, it will never be possible to capture it so quickly, Wu Yi is not so vulnerable!" Guan Yu also shouted in disbelief.

"Why did the siege of the Wei army come so coincidentally, but as soon as we transferred troops and horses from Pubanjin, they attacked immediately?" Ma Chao questioned sharply.

Pound was a little overwhelmed by what they said, and he didn't know who to answer first.

Zhuge Liang, whose face was gloomy, suddenly raised the feather fan in his hand high and shouted: "Don't make any noise!" ”
