I have to say that Zhuge Liang is worthy of being the legendary first wise man of the Three Kingdoms, and he is worthy of his "wisdom" characteristics, although he can't accurately deduce it, he can guess that all this is secretly promoted by Liu He behind his back.

And this is indeed the case, even Lu Xun's escape from the predicament was arranged by Liu He, Liu He ordered Xu Shu to write down the method of breaking the formation, and passed it to his old father-in-law Huang Chengyan, and then Huang Chengyan was escorted by the guards to the outside of the Kuiguan that trapped Lu Xun, and then rode a donkey slowly to the outside of the formation, entered the formation according to Xu Shu's teaching, and brought Lu Xun out.

When Lu Xun saw an old man bring him out, he was very grateful in his heart, thanked Huang Chengyan, and hurriedly asked Huang Chengyan's name in order to reciprocate.

Huang Chengyan revealed his identity, and said that Liu He knew that there were generals in distress outside Kuiguan after calculation, Liu He couldn't bear to fall the stars, so he asked Huang Chengyan to come to the rescue, in addition, Huang Chengyan also told Lu Xun that Liu He's army and the Jiangdong Army would cooperate wholeheartedly to realize the plan to carve up Jingzhou, but before that, due to a full-scale war with Cao Cao, the army generals suffered too much damage, and the grain and grass were also urgent, and now they were unable to deal with Liu Bei at all, so they could only ask Sun Quan, and also told Lu Xun, Liu Bei's general Guan Yu took advantage of Liu He's unpreparedness and escaped from Xudu, and now he is being sent to Nanzhong, which will be a big hidden danger in the future, coupled with Zhuge Liang's help, Tai Shi Ci is not an opponent at all, so it is recommended that Lu Xun take the initiative to assist Tai Shi Ci to fight against Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, and put forward the policy of confrontation, that is, to fight a war of attrition with the other party, as long as the days go by, Guan Yu, who can't stand the consumption, will definitely withdraw his troops.

Lu Xun thanked Huang Chengyan for his kindness, and also had a great impression of Liu He, and also thought that Liu He's words were very correct, so after bidding farewell to Huang Chengyan and returning to Wu County, he immediately proposed to go to Jiaozhou to help Tai Shici, Sun Quan was very happy to hear it, and immediately appointed Lu Xun as Tai Shici's military advisor and deputy general, so that he could take office and help Tai Shici.

Later facts proved that it was precisely because of Lu Xun's arrival that the further defeat of Tai Shi Ci's army was prevented, so that Tai Shi Ci gained a firm foothold in Yue and realized a long-term confrontation with Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang's army.

However, although Zhuge Liang's judgment is correct, it does not mean that Liu Bei's judgment is also correct, and now Liu Beizheng is very grateful to Liu He, because Liu He released Guan Yu, which made his Linjiang turn into a safe place, and let the northern part of Yizhou completely settle down, so that he can free up his hands to let Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang attack Nanzhong, so as to block the further offensive of the Jiangdong Army against the Shu army, it can be said that if Liu He did not release Guan Yu, all this would not have happened, and he may even become a second Liu Zhang now.

It is based on such feelings that Liu Bei did not pay attention to Zhuge Liang's suggestion at all, for him, the biggest enemy now is Sun Quan, Sun Quan seized his four counties of Jingnan, Nanjun and the entire Jiaozhou, Liu He only seized his Hanzhong, and strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a seizure, because after all, it was Zhang Lu who surrendered to Liu He, not to him.

Of course, Liu Bei, as a generation of heroes, is not without wisdom, nor is he not guarding against Liu He, but Liu Bei knows that Liu He's help is what he has to want, and he also knows that Liu He is using him to deal with Jiangdong, but why didn't he pull the tiger skin and use Liu He to deal with Sun Quan and recover the lost territory?

And now that Sun Quan has Jiangdong, he can only hope to attack Xuzhou and meet the Han Emperor if he first seizes the land of Jiangdong, or even even Jiaozhou, so as to gain a political advantage and gain great prestige.

It was based on the above considerations that Liu Bei decisively chose not to listen to Zhuge Liang's advice, and went all out to compete with Sun Quan for a long time and a high and low.

And at this time, Xu Du, Deng Zhi came to Liu He, arched his hand and said: "Lord, your trick is really clever, Lu Xun was saved, and his good impression of the lord has been greatly improved, and at the same time, Lu Xun's return to Jiangdong is also equivalent to the lord releasing him, because General Lu Meng is also there, it will definitely make his loyalty to Sun Quan decline, and in the future, as long as Lu Xun says even a word to the lord, it will cause Sun Quan's suspicion, which is equivalent to dividing the relationship between their monarchs and ministers; And on the side of the Shu army, the situation is similar, the lower officials can see that Guan Yu is very grateful to the lord for letting him turn around, although this may not be enough to separate Liu Bei and his relationship, but it is not without benefits, now the Jiangdong army and the Shu army have a reason to fight, and the comprehensive strength of the Shu army is not as good as Jiangdong, and in the end it is still inevitable to be defeated, and at that time, Guan Yu is not impossible to defect to the lord......"

After Deng Zhi returned to Xudu, he reported to Liu He in detail what he had seen and heard after this mission to Shuzhong, and heard this series of schemes from Liu He, and suddenly had a strong admiration for Liu He.

Liu He said with a smile: "All this is not my credit alone, I found that Lu Xun was trapped, and it was Ziming's skills that let people improve their favorability work, and it was Bo Miao's credit that allowed Liu Bei to agree to unite with me, and the reason why the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf was successfully implemented was Wen Ruo's credit, and the implementation of this strategy was the result of many people working together, how could I take these credits for myself?" ”

Deng Zhi said very emotionally: "But all this is impossible to achieve without the wise leadership of the lord, not to mention that our skills are also realized by the lord through wind measurement, if there is no lord, Zhi may just be an ordinary internal affairs talent, being a petty official, with limited lifetime achievements." ”

When Liu He heard this, he smiled but did not speak, and at the same time sighed secretly in his heart: "Its own ability value is above the second rate, how can such a talent not have a place in Shu Han, where talent resources are relatively scarce?" In fact, Deng Zhi sat in Shu Han to become a general of the chariot and cavalry, but now in my talented place, it is absolutely difficult to achieve this step, so from this point of view, Deng Zhi's status will be lower than what he deserves, but I can guarantee that he will be crowned a wife and a son, even in terms of knighthood, it will definitely be higher than what he deserves in history, the official position is only temporary, but the title is lifelong, and it may even be passed down from generation to generation, believe me This is not a pity for him. ”

After sighing, Liu He ordered Deng Zhi to go down to rest, and then called Chen Zhi again, and secretly instructed the spies sent by Chen Zhi to pay attention to the movements of Sun Quan and Liu Bei at any time, and report them in a timely and decisive manner, and at the same time be careful not to reveal his identity, because he had a hunch that the big fish had surfaced and he was about to close the net.
