In any case, Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong, a prince with status and status, even if he loses power, he must be given enough respect.

"Thank you!" Liu Bei arched his hand.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei in surprise, as the dignified king of Hanzhong, even if he was reduced to a prisoner, there was no need to be so polite to the two soldiers in the army.

"Kong Ming, on the battlefield of Yizhou, we failed, and this king and Kong Ming all became prisoners of the king of Jin." Liu Bei said slowly.

From Liu Bei's expression, Zhuge Liang did not feel lonely, but there was a trace of relaxation, it can be seen that Liu Bei has figured it out after this failure, and it is indeed a pity that from the fall of one of the princes to the current situation, Yizhou is the country of abundance, fertile fields, if it can be based on Yizhou, it will be able to occupy a great advantage in the future, but Liu Bei failed in this hegemony and had to withdraw from the hegemony, which is indeed a great blow to an aspiring prince.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei quietly, he believed that Liu Bei had the following.

"Kong Ming is young, it is the time to display his life's talents, although the King of Jin's treatment of the family is cruel, but its strength is strong, if Kong Ming can take refuge in the King of Jin, it will definitely be able to be reused, and the King of Jin attaches great importance to Kong Ming." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said: "Liang has been following the lord for a long time, presumably the lord has some understanding of Liang, even if Liang is dead, he will not take refuge in the traitor, what is there to fear of death." ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei felt a little relieved, he admired Zhuge Liang's talent, and when he was in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang gave him great help, and now the two have become prisoners of King Jin at the same time, he has no reason to live, if Zhuge Liang takes refuge in Lu Bu, it is also reasonable, but watching the people who appreciate it take refuge in the enemy, his heart is inevitably a little sad.

"Why does Kong Ming have to be like this." Liu Bei sighed.

"The lord doesn't need to persuade him anymore, Liang's mind has been decided, so what's the matter with death, Liang is willing to follow the lord's side." Zhuge Liang said, Lu Bu is a traitor in their mouths, but Zhuge Liang, as a top strategist, naturally understands the truth of this, Yizhou represents the imperial court, and Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong, so he must support the imperial court, and Lu Bu's behavior is a traitor in the eyes of the imperial court.

And Lu Bu led a large army to invade Yizhou, so that Liu Bei lost everything in front of him, and even the saint became a prisoner, isn't it a kind of sadness.

"This king really didn't misunderstand Kong Ming at the beginning, the two monarchs and ministers went to the trouble together, what is there to be afraid of." Liu Bei said with a smile, from Zhuge Liang's expression, he felt the firmness of Zhuge Liang's will.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, his expression was also a lot more relaxed, he was a courtier under Liu Bei, this could not be changed, and he would not regret his decision, between the choice of life and death, making such a decision is extremely difficult for anyone, between life and death, people's choice is often to live, only by living can there be hope.

However, Zhuge Liang is grateful to Liu Bei, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, invited him out of the mountain, and gave him reuse, this is the trust in him, Liu Bei is his confidant, even if it is for Liu Bei's death, it is nothing in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

"Kong Ming, now that Yizhou has been pacified by the King of Jin, the only person who can compare the princes of the world with the King of Jin is Cao Cao." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei in surprise, at this time, Liu Bei talked about the general trend of the world, which gave him a strange feeling, he had lost the power in his hands, and the major events in the world had nothing to do with the two of them, even if Cao Cao failed in the next battle, what did the two have to do with it.

"But Xudu is still the court of the Han Dynasty, although the king did not recognize the court of Xudu before, now Yizhou is broken by the king of Jin, and the court of Xudu is orthodox." Liu Bei said slowly: "Although this king has failed, he doesn't want the Han to fall into the hands of a traitor like the King of Jin, so he can only do his best to help the Han." ”

"What does the lord mean?" Zhuge Liang wondered.

"Before the decisive battle with the Chang'an army, this king secretly instructed Sun Gan that if the army failed, he would go to Xudu to join the imperial court, and dedicate the method of building the crossbow cart to the imperial court, which can be regarded as the king's modest contribution to the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang nodded, Liu Bei was able to think of the court of the Han Dynasty at this time, it can be seen that in Liu Bei's heart, the Han family still has a high status, and the ballista must be an important instrument on the battlefield in the future.

Lu Bu has a crossbow cart, if Cao Cao is at a disadvantage in this regard, he will inevitably suffer a lot of losses in the war in Yizhou, and Zhuge Liang can still understand this.

"Kong Ming is responsible for building the ballista car, and this king has donated the method of building the ballista to Xu Du, and I hope Kong Ming will not blame him." Speaking of this, Liu Bei arched his hand.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly replied: "The flow of traitors and thieves, everyone will be punished, if Liu Bei and other rebels are allowed to get the world, it will be the greatest misfortune for the Han Dynasty." ”

"If Kong Ming is willing to assist King Jin, just go, this king will not blame." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang saluted again: "My lord, even if my subordinates die, they are also courtiers under the command of the king of Hanzhong." ”

Leaving Zhuge Liang's residence, Liu Bei has no regrets in his heart, from a prince to the current field, it does not make people feel desolate, throughout Liu Bei's life, it is still relatively bumpy, he wants to gain a firm foothold in the chaotic situation through his own efforts, but in the end he failed.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang discussed, soon reached Lu Bu's ears, for Liu Bei, Lu Bu is wary, although Liu Bei failed on the battlefield in Yizhou, from Liu Bei's past means of acting can be seen, this person has a deep city, when he was on the battlefield, Liu Bei once said that he would persuade Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu can only have the attitude of giving it a try, if it succeeds, getting Zhuge Liang and other talents is also a lot of help for him, if it fails, there is nothing to regret.

"Fengxiao, now that Liu Bei has completely failed, in your opinion, will Zhuge Liang take refuge in this king?" Lu Bu set his sights on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, from the perspective of his subordinates, the possibility of Zhuge Liang taking refuge in the lord is very small, Zhuge Liang was personally invited by Liu Bei to go out of the mountain to help, and Zhuge Liang himself is a proud person, how can he easily choose to take refuge, even if Liu Bei goes to persuade him, there will not be too good results." ”
