Chapter 53: Liu Bei's wedding
No one knows what Liu Zhang went to Zhang Song to do, but it seems that this trip was not particularly pleasant, because Liu Zhang came out with a black face, and after Liu Zhang left, Zhang Song also asked people to clean the inside and outside from the door of the house to the living room, it is obvious that these two have broken up, for the Shuzhong family, it is naturally happy to watch the excitement, but after this incident, as long as Liu Zhang is unwilling to be a puppet so obediently, the confrontation between Liu Zhang and the Shuzhong family is already a foreseeable thing.

Compared with the gradual sharpening of the contradictions in Shuzhong, Jingzhou entered a period of peace after Liu Bei captured Xiangyang and agreed with Cao Cao and Sun Quan to attack and defend the alliance.
Although the field issue was a little unpleasant, but under the coordination of Zhuge Liang, these influences were gradually overshadowed, because they did not experience too much war, except for the battle of Xiangyang, Liu Bei almost subdued the land of Jingxiang peacefully.
With the stability of Jingxiang, a large number of talents began to be invested in Liu Bei's service, Liu Pan was completely loyal to Liu Bei, in addition, there were generals Li Yan, Xing Daorong, Kou Feng and other county generals have been completely invested in Liu Bei's command under Zhuge Liang's lobbying, and no longer the state of the lack of soldiers and major generals in the past, and in terms of strategists, Ma Liang, Yi nationality, Han Song and other Jingxiang celebrities or Liu Biao's old department have also come out, Liu Bei's strength has developed in a short period of time, and the troops have been collected and surrendered to Xiangyang after the army, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country have been collected and added together, counting Liu Bei's hands, the original two elites of Nanyang and Jiangxia, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have exceeded 200,000.
In terms of troops, Liu Bei's troops even surpassed Lu Bu!
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Jingzhou is busy, not only because an agreement has been reached with Cao Cao, after the beginning of the spring, they will join forces to send troops, the grain and grass are heavy, and Zhuge Liang has made some new things to deal with Lu Bu's strong bow and crossbow to be made before the army, and more importantly, Liu Bei is going to get married.
And the choice of the new lady also made many people fall into the eyeballs, it turned out to be Mrs. Cai, the widow of Liu Biao and the mother of Liu Cong.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Cai has just passed the age of establishment, and she is also in her prime, and before she got married, she was also a famous beauty in Jingxiang, but the Cai family was almost wiped out by Liu Bei, and now she wants to marry Mrs. Cai, what does this mean? No matter how you are, you have to have a degree, right?
In fact, this wronged Liu Bei, and with the fall of the Cai Kuai family, the status of the small and medium-sized families that were originally attached to Cai Kuai's family was a little embarrassing.
On the one hand, the Cai family's land can be regarded as the Cai family's dowry to become Liu Bei's private land, on the other hand, it is also to appease and win over those small and medium-sized families that wavered with the fall of the Cai Kuo family.
Cai Mao's death carried Liu Biao's affairs on his shoulders, and also gave the Cai family room to turn around, and at the same time Liu Bei, the new master, although the vitality was greatly damaged, the Cai family still occupied a place in Jingzhou, and those small and medium-sized families who were attached to the Cai family before did not have to be frightened, and for Liu Bei, although it was a little difficult to take the Cai family in reason, it was more tenable in righteousness, and at the same time, there were two groups of faintly opposing families under his hands, and they did not have to worry about being set aside, which can be said to be happy.
"Kong Ming, is it a little too anxious?" In the state pastor's mansion, Liu Bei frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang.
"What the lord said is not right." Zhuge Liang shook his head: "The big war together, I don't know when it will end, if you wait for the tiger to be destroyed, and then enter Shu, when the Lord is fair in Shu, what strength will there be to compete with Cao Cao for the world?" ā
Just the day before Liu Bei's wedding, Zhuge Liang suddenly came to Liu Bei to discuss the details of entering Shu, killing the tiger, and the tiger's finger was naturally Lu Bu.
"It's just that how can our army take care of it?" Liu Bei frowned.
"The lord can lead Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to lead 100,000 troops to join Cao Cao, while the minister will lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, with General Yide as the general into Shu, and set the lord to take Shuzhong." Zhuge Liang bowed and said.
"The military advisor won't go with me?" Liu Bei was surprised.
"The lord can take Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan to go with him, and the ability of these two people is not under the minister." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "In addition, Ma Liang is good at arguing, and he can help the lord and Cao Cao to fight together." ā
"That Jiangdong ......" Liu Bei frowned, he was not at ease with Jiangdong.
"In the matter of Jiangdong, the ministers will make proper arrangements, and they will not let Jiangdong become a worry for our army." Zhuge Liang smiled.
Liu Bei frowned, still feeling a little inappropriate, but he couldn't say how it was inappropriate, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Kong Ming is resourceful, so according to Kong Ming's intentions, he divided his troops to attack Shu, but if it can't be violated, don't force it." ā
"Don't worry, my lord." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Rest assured? Of course not at ease, Liu Bei knows very well that if it is just a march to fight, Liu Bei can be competent, but if it is said that he is strategizing, he asks himself if he has that ability, this time he and Cao Cao joined forces to attack Lu Bu, and he had to face not only Lu Bu, but also to prevent Cao Cao's calculations, without Zhuge Liang by his side, Liu Bei was somewhat unsteady.
The importance of Sichuan and Shu is undoubted, in Zhuge Liang's plan, Sichuan and Shu are a very important part, and after Zhuge Liang left, Liu Bei remembered why it was inappropriate, Liu Zhang, strictly speaking, is also their ally, how can he attack without authorization?
Looking out of the door, Liu Bei opened his mouth, but finally did not speak, Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid I have my own thoughts, right?
50,000 troops, Liu Bei can take it now, but in this way, plus Liu Bei personally led 100,000 troops to fight Lu Bu on his back, Jingzhou will be empty, if at this time, Sun Quan takes advantage of the weakness to enter......
Liu Bei felt a little chaotic, and even the next day's wedding, he was rudely woken up by Zhang Fei, and now Guan Yu is stationed in Nanyang, and Chen is in Jiangxia, but Liu Bei's wedding banquet is still lively, almost all the gentry in Jingzhou have come, and even Sun Quan and Cao Cao have sent people to send congratulatory gifts, in addition, there are also messengers sent by Lu Bu, Liu Bei can clearly feel that the arrival of Lu Bu's envoy, the whole wedding banquet atmosphere suddenly became weird.
But in the end, nothing bad happened, Lu Bu's envoy only came to congratulate Lu Bu on behalf of him, everything was in accordance with the rules, although the war was imminent, but he didn't stretch out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, he couldn't turn people away, so he would seem stingy.
Koto, Chaisang.
"Lu Bu also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun with some surprise, Lu Xun was the envoy who went to Daohe on behalf of Jiangdong.
"Yang Fu, Yang Yishan, the governor of the Ministry of Rites, should have some impressions." Lu Xun arched his hand.
Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this, Yang Fu was naturally no stranger to him, Yang Fu was an envoy to Jiangdong back then, and he had personally come to visit Zhou Yu.
"Bo Yan is not here just to talk about this, right?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun with a smile.
"Of course not." Lu Xun hesitated, looked at Zhou Yu and said: "Did the governor ever think that Liu Bei got married, but he didn't post to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu's envoy was able to arrive just in time, doesn't this mean that Liu Bei's every move is well known to Lu Bu, Xun doesn't know how many Lu Bu has planted in Jiangdong, but Xun dares to assert that Lu Bu probably already knows about the Cao Liu Alliance's attack on Lu Bu." ā
"It's not hard to guess." Lu Xun raised his head, looked at Zhou Yu, narrowed his eyes and said, "What does Bo Yan want to say?" ā
"Xun just wanted to say that Lu Bu knew about it, but he didn't stop it, and even sent someone to congratulate him, indicating that Lu Bu had enough confidence to face the Cao Liu coalition army at the same time, Xun thought that Lu Bu was stronger, even stronger than Qin back then, at this time, the princes were concentric, and the victory or defeat was not yet known, but the governor always limited his eyes to Jingzhou, whether it was too ......"
"Too stingy?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun, shook his head and sighed: "I think that before Boyan came here, he had already met the lord and said this. ā
"Not bad." Lu Xun nodded.
"The lord didn't agree?"
Lu Xun was silent for a moment and nodded again, Sun Quan did not agree.
"Do you know why?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun and smiled.
"Even if Lu Bu is defeated, it will be difficult for Jiangdong to get real profits." Lu Xun said in a deep voice.
"It's more than that." Zhou Yu shook his head, a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes: "I know better than Bo Yan how powerful Lu Bu is." ā
The matter of Lujiang back then was a great shame for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu at that time, and after that, for a long time, Zhou Yu stared at Lu Bu, just waiting for the opportunity to take revenge in the future, therefore, in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu knew better than anyone how powerful Lu Bu was.
Turning his head to look at Lu Xun, Zhou Yu sighed and said: "If Jingzhou is beaten, my Jiangdong still has a chance to win the world, but if I participate in the alliance of princes, no matter whether I win or lose, Jiangdong will inevitably be defeated!" ā
"It's true that Lu Bu is a hungry wolf, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not good at stubble, if they lose, it's okay, they need this alliance to fight against Lu Bu together, but if they win, I'm afraid my Jiangdong children won't even have a chance to return to Jiangdong." Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun and said.
If there is no Lu Bu, then Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are competitors in the world, after losing the oppression of Lu Bu, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei will probably look at the other two parties, and after digesting the fruits of defeating Lu Bu, whether Liu Bei or Cao Cao, I am afraid they will look at Jiangdong, if the Cao and Liu families can annex Lu Bu, their strength will rise again, but Jiangdong has no interests, and will only become a victim of the competition between the two princes, except for the water army, what do they use to compete with these two princes?
When Lu Xun heard this, he couldn't help sighing, Zhou Yu smiled: "The best result is to be undefeated and undefeated, but this possibility is not very likely, if it is an undefeated ending, it is equivalent to Lu Bu winning, since Bo Yan has been to Chang'an, when he knows how influential Lu Bu's system is, the longer the time drags on, the less chance the princes will have, so this battle will definitely be divided into winners and losers, but no matter who wins and who loses, both sides will be greatly injured, and at that time, it is the time for our army to really exert its strength." ā
Some take it for granted!
Lu Xun looked at Zhou Yu, opened his mouth, and finally did not speak, indeed, no matter how this war is won or lost, Jiangdong does not seem to have much chance. (To be continued.) )
