The battle between Liu Cong and Cao Cao soon came to an end, and because of Zhao Qian's intervention, the two sides stopped fighting.

Cao Cao retreated back to Yanzhou, and Liu Cong, under the advice of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, took this opportunity to directly welcome Zhao to move into Jingzhou.

So far, Zhao Qian has not abolished a single soldier, and most of Jingzhou has been collected under his command, and after playing the Son of Heaven, Liu Cong has been named the Marquis of Xiangyang, with the heart of the Jingzhou scholars.

Then, the original civil and military officials of Jingzhou were sealed, which won the hearts of the people, and gradually strengthened the control of Jingzhou through the deployment of officials.

It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the four counties in the south of Jingzhou do not accept the king, and on the surface, they respect the eldest prince Liu Qi as the main one, but in fact they are already independent.

In this way, Sun Ce, who was in Jiangdong, felt the pressure from Zhao Qian.

The melee in the Central Plains and the conquest of the princes never affected the development of Jiangdong.

Sun Ce, with the assistance of Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others, led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other generals to integrate the land of Jiangdong, and now it has been in business for many years, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Liu Bei originally wanted to take advantage of the battle between Liu Cong and Cao Cao and use Liu Qi's strength to conquer Jingzhou, but who knew that Liu Qi was short-sighted and willing to accept the status quo, and he missed a great opportunity.

Watching Liu Qi have fun all day long, even if he invited him every day, Liu Bei felt uncomfortable.

So, Liu Bei asked to go to Anlu County to raise troops to prevent accidents.

After Liu Qi heard this, he happily agreed, as long as Liu Bei did not leave Jiangxia, he would be able to keep him safe, Liu Qi was not afraid of Cao Cao, Jiangdong, or Zhao Qian, he was most afraid of Cai Mao.

Although Liu Cong was made the Marquis of Xiangyang by Zhao Qian and had no military power, Cai Mao is still there, in case one day, Cai Mao will raise troops to attack, and Liu Bei will be able to stop it.

So, Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, the second lady of Gan Mi, and his son Adou, to Anlu County.

Here, nominally, it was to recruit troops and train soldiers for Liu Qi, but in fact, these soldiers have become the strength of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

On this day, after inspecting all parts of the county, Liu Bei had just returned to the mansion when a steward from the mansion came to report and someone asked to see him.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and didn't guess who would come back to visit him, Yi? Unlikely, the two have a good relationship and will not be so formal.

"Please come in." Liu Bei said to the steward.

No matter who it is, since it is here, it must be well received, this is Liu Bei's principle of life, and it is based on this principle that Liu Bei can come to this day.

After a while, the steward of the mansion took a person to the lobby and met Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stood up and looked at the visitor, only to see that the other party was wearing a white crane scarf, wearing a moon white scarf, holding a colorful feather fan, more than eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, a strong figure, and very young.

"I don't know if Mr. is coming, what kind of advice do you have?" Liu Bei clenched his fists and said.

The man laughed, shook the feather fan lightly, and said: "In Xia Zhuge Liang, living in seclusion in Nanyang, I have not seen the name of Liu Zhijun for a long time, and I learned that the envoy is close to Jiangxia, so I came to see him." ”

Zhuge Liang?

Liu Bei quickly went through it in his mind, but he didn't seem to have any impression, looking at the other party's appearance, he was a scholar, and he lacked people on his side, so he could leave it to use.

"Come to the table so quickly, you and I will talk while eating." Liu Bei smiled and welcomed Zhuge Liang in.

Zhuge Liang knelt in front of the table and said with a smile: "Liangben Nanyang savage, idle, now I heard that the envoy is here, I came to see the style, if there is abruptness, please forgive me." ”

"You're welcome, sir." Liu Bei said with a smile.

In just a few words, Liu Bei fell in love with the young man in front of him.

This Zhuge Liang is not only a talent, but also gentle and elegant, and he is not an ordinary person.

"Sir, do you want to talk to Bei about the affairs of the world?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei, smiled, shook the feather fan lightly, and said: "Liang is a cultivator, dare to talk about world affairs?" ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "If the eldest husband has the talent of the world, how can he be empty and old in the forest and springs?" ”

"May I hear the will of the king." Zhuge Liang still said with a smile.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then snorted and said: "Prepare to crusade against the Yellow Turban Uprising, after many years, ups and downs, and now nothing has been accomplished, fortunately, the eldest prince Liu Qi will not give up, and the right to be stationed in Anlu and guard Jiangxia." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile and said, "If this is really the case, Liang will go for nothing this time, so that Jun will be busy with government affairs, and I will not send it far." ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang was about to get up and leave, but Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mr. stay!" ”

Zhuge Liang stood still, turned to look at Liu Bei, and said, "What else is the matter with the envoy?" ”

Liu Bei sighed and said: "Bei is a member of the Han family, he does not measure his own strength, and wants to declare righteousness in the world, and his wisdom is shallow, so far he has nothing to do. ”

Zhuge Liang stared at Liu Bei for a while, laughed, and said: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, heroes in the world have risen together. Zhao Qian started an incident with the county lieutenant, leveled Dong Zhuo, begged Gongsun, and destroyed Eryuan. ”

"Sir, would you like to prepare?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled, Liu Bei was disappointed, but then said: "Liang went out of the mountain this time to help the king." ”

Zhuge Liang was also very helpless, originally living in seclusion in Nanyang, wanting to learn from Jiang Taigong and let the Ming Lord take the bait, however, the situation in the world is changing, and now it is a little out of control.

According to Zhuge Liang's view, Zhao Qian is a rare master, but there are many generals under his command, and Zhao Qian himself is both civil and military, so it is too difficult to be the most special one.

Zhuge Liang was arrogant, in his opinion, defecting to Zhao Qian was the simplest model, and he couldn't give full play to his intelligence at all.

Zhuge Liang, who has always liked to challenge himself, set his sights on Liu Bei.

Throughout Liu Bei's several battles, they all ended in failure, but Zhuge Liang discovered a trait of Liu Bei.

Indomitable, frustrated and frustrated!

Moreover, Liu Bei does not have many talents under him, the generals are Guan Yu, and the strategists are only Sun Gan, Mi Zhu, and Jian Yong, if they can be called strategists.

Such a situation is very much in line with Zhuge Liang's requirements.

He's Zhuge Liang, and if you want to play, play Super Hardmode!

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Prepare a name and be a widow, fortunately Mr. has mercy, go out of the mountain to help, and be prepared to listen to the teachings!" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly helped Liu Bei and said: "If you don't abandon each other, Liang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he sent an order to summon Guan Yu, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and other subordinates to see Zhuge Liang.

After some conversation, Sun Qian and others bowed to him, and Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang as his military advisor, rectified government affairs, and worked hard!
