+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It is recorded in the history books that Zhuge Liang is eight feet tall and has a great appearance, which is different from the people.

In fact, with a height of nearly 190 centimeters, it always gives people a sense of majesty. What's more, Jingzhou is southern, so the figure is generally not too tall. In a group of 170 cm people, a 190 cm tall suddenly popped out, which can naturally attract attention.

Zhuge Liang is a native of Langya, Qingzhou, in the second year of Jian'an, that is, when he was seventeen years old, because of the death of his uncle Zhuge Xuan, the family came to settle in Longzhong, which is twenty miles away from Xiangyang, and worshiped in Shuijing Villa, and studied under Sima Huimen. In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Liang is already twenty-four! With three years of experience, coupled with frequent exchanges with characters like Xun Chen, his vision and insight have also increased day by day......

Now, he has become an indispensable arm by Liu Bei's side.

Liu Bei is seven feet five inches tall, which is 173 centimeters. If you don't stand on the porch, you need to look up to talk to Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming has worked hard!"

Liu Bei said softly with a warm smile.

Since the beginning of winter, Liu Biao's health has not been very good, so Zhuge Liang has been going back and forth to Xiangyang recently, extremely frequently.

First, it is to inquire about the news.

Second, Cai's daughter, that is, Zhuge Liang's wife in this time and space, is pregnant and needs him to take care of her. Cai's daughter and Zhuge Liang have been married for three years, and they finally conceived a child, which also made Zhuge Liang very happy. However, Mrs. Cai took Cai's daughter to Xiangyang to take care of her under the pretext that Xinye's conditions were not good. In fact, Zhuge Liang can also figure out her thoughts, and he is undoubtedly borrowing this means to drive a wedge between him and Liu Bei...... It's just that Mrs. Cai underestimated Liu Bei! can become Cao Cao's most feared figure, the hero at that time, how can Liu Bei's mind be able to figure out and guess a little woman like Mrs. Cai?

Instead of being estranged from Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei encouraged him and took care of his wife.

This also made Zhuge Liang more convinced of Liu Bei......

For the above, if you are narrow-minded, you will be suspected at every turn, or you will be divided, how can you do a great career?

Liu Bei's life was bumpy and displaced.

Zhang Fei said that Lu Bu was a slave with three surnames, but what about Liu Bei, there are far more people who have taken refuge in this half of his life than Lu Bu. It's just that Lu Bu is too utilitarian, so he shows a small family. For example, when he took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he killed Ding Yuan without saying a word; No matter how Ding Yuan treats him, at least one thing, Lu Bu started by virtue of Ding Yuan...... Then, he killed Dong Zhuo again. Although it is a great righteousness, it has been realized in virtue. So much so that no matter who he defected to later, it would arouse the suspicion of others.

At this point, Liu Bei's virtue is not at a loss!

The reason why people are suspicious is more often a matter of ability.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhuge Liang is willing to assist Liu Bei. If Liu Bei's virtue is at a loss, what will be the result...... Moreover, the virtues of this era are different from the moral code of Cao Peng's previous life. If you look at it by the standards of Cao Peng's previous life, Liu Bei is undoubtedly a villain. But in this era, the shortcomings in Cao Peng's eyes are likely to be praised by the world; On the contrary, what Cao Peng agrees with may be slandered.

In short, Liu Bei is a convincing master.

Zhuge Liang said: "When I returned to Xiangyang this time, Liang heard a piece of news...... Fancheng is now unguarded, and Liu Jingzhou is hesitating about it. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Bei frowned.

From Zhuge Liang's words, he heard a message.

Fancheng is right next to Xiangyang. If the geographical location of later generations is determined, it is Fancheng District in the center of Xiangfan, Hubei Province.

This place is the horn of Xiangyang, which is quite important.

From Fancheng to Xiangyang, it takes less than half a day to arrive.

The smile on Liu Bei's face was even softer, "Then what Liu Jingzhou means......"

"The key is not Liu Jingzhou's intentions, but how the lord decides."

"What did Kong Ming say about this?"

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Now Liu Jingzhou is getting weaker and weaker, and the battle for succession has intensified. The son, Liu Qi, is the eldest son of Liu Jingzhou, who entered Jingzhou with Liu Jingzhou and is very important to the old ministers; And the little son, Liu Cong, is the most loved by Liu Jingzhou, so it has always been difficult to make a decision. When Humble Jing was recuperating in Xiangyang, Mrs. Zeng De revealed a piece of news: if the lord is willing to support Gongzi Cong, Mrs. can give Fancheng to the lord. It's just that in this way, the lord and the eldest prince will inevitably face a rupture situation. ”

Assisting Liu Cong, what Mrs. Cai is valued for?

This is undoubtedly a condition put forward by Mrs. Cai.

Although Liu Cong is young, he has a huge Jingxiang people behind him.

And the Jingxiang clan is precisely the foundation of Liu Biao's foothold in Jingzhou. If it can be recognized by the Jingxiang clan, it will undoubtedly improve Liu Bei's environment.

It's just that......

Liu Bei fell into deep thought.

"My lord, the eldest husband must not be rigid in his actions.

Today, Jingzhou is in the lord's office, and there is no doubt that it has huge interests. If the lord can stand firm in Jingzhou, he can look west to Bashu and north to the Central Plains, where the foundation is.

Cao Cao, now the lord of the north, the situation of unification has been completed.

As soon as the north is stable, Cao Cao will inevitably swallow the world and look at Jingxiang. At that time, the lord will also lose this last foothold. Once Jing Xiang is lost, where should the lord go? Do you want to go to Bashu and continue to send people under the fence for Liu Zhang's use?

At this critical time of survival, the lord should make a decision quickly to meet the thief. ”

It can be heard that Zhuge Liang is thinking about Liu Bei.

But the problem is that Liu Bei can't make a decision all of a sudden.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "In Kong Ming's opinion, if I go to Jingxiang, can I be an enemy of Cao Thief?" ”

"With the land of Jingxiang Nine Counties alone, it may be difficult to stop the Cao thief."

"In that case, what's the use of me taking Jingxiang?"

Zhuge Liang's spirit was suddenly shocked, revealing excitement, "Don't worry, and listen to what Liang says."

He paused and said loudly: "Jingzhou is north of the Han Dynasty." Profit from the South China Sea. Wuhui in the east and Bashu in the west. This country of force, and its lord can't defend it, so the general is so rich, how can the general refuse? And Yizhou is dangerous, fertile and thousands of miles, the land of abundance. Gaozu became an emperor because of this. Today, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is re-been, the people are rich and do not know how to save compassion, and the wise people are all thinking of Mingjun. The general is the emperor, the faith and righteousness are unparalleled, the heroes are the heroes, and the sages are thirsty. Wu is a tiger and wolf like Zhang Zhaoyun, and Wen has a great talent like Mr. Xun Chen. If you cross Jingyi, protect its rock resistance, Fu Yiyue in the south, and tie up Sun Quan, then the great cause can be expected.

Try to say, if there is a change in the world, the lord will order a general to take the army of Jingzhou and the land of Wan, and the lord will lead the people of Yizhou, out of Qinchuan, the people will welcome the lord. If this is the case, then the lord can succeed in hegemony, and the Han family can prosper...... Therefore, the land of Jingxiang must not be lost. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes were burning, and his words revealed ambition.

Liu Bei fell into deep thought and was silent for a long time......

Yes, what Zhuge Liang said is in line with Liu Bei's thoughts, how can he not be moved?

Jingxiang is indeed an important land. The products are abundant, and the money and food are abundant. More importantly, since Liu Biao ruled Jingxiang, he has ruled with leniency and benevolence, so the people live and work in peace and contentment. In just over ten years, the population of Jingxiang has surged to nearly one million, and it is indeed a place that can be rooted.

Of course, Jing Xiang also has flaws.

To put it bluntly, the situation in Jingzhou is similar to Xuzhou, which Liu Bei occupied at the beginning, and it is the land of four wars.

Today, Cao Cao's experience is in the north, so the situation is good. Although there was a small war, it was only limited to Nanyang County. As far as Jingzhou as a whole is concerned, it is quite stable at present. But once Cao Cao unified the north, he was bound to use troops with Jingzhou. And can Jingzhou's current stability continue? In the end, Jingzhou is likely to evolve into the same situation as Xuzhou......

It connects the Han River and the Chu River, facing the Central Plains.

It is bordered by the river in the east and Bashu in the west, to put it bluntly, it is a thoroughfare in all directions, and the land of endless wars.

In other words, Jingzhou's wealth and stability are like flowers in the mirror and moons in the water, which are not enough to rely on. Once the war continues, Jingzhou will eventually become the second Xuzhou. Liu Bei was silent in thought, and Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to urge, but waited quietly.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang is close to completion at this time.

Its three-legged strategic, connecting Sun Wu in the east and Cao Cao in the north, has taken shape.

Of course, it cannot be said that Zhuge Liang at this time has reached a historical height. His strategic thinking, in fact, has a lot in common with Jian'an for five years, after Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, and Lu Su's "Couch Policy". The difference is that Lu Su is considered from the position of Sun Wu, and Sun Quan undoubtedly has a huge advantage over Liu Bei. After all, Sun Quan is the son of his father and brother, and his foundation has been completed. And Liu Bei, now he has to find a place to stay...... At least for the time being, and for some time to come, he needs to send someone under the fence.

However, in Lu Su's couch strategy, Jingzhou was also mentioned.

For Soochow, Jingzhou has a vital strategic position.

If Jingxiang can be obtained, then Eastern Wu can become a confrontation between the north and the south, and Cao Cao will rule by crossing the river. At the same time, the west united Bashu and attacked Guanzhong to wait for the opportunity.

Therefore, the future of Jingzhou can be imagined.

It's not just Liu Bei who wants to get it, but also Sun Quan and Cao Cao, who all want to control Jingxiang.

"Sun Quan, maybe help?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, "If the lord is willing, Liang is willing to go to Jiangdong, follow the posture of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and make Sun Quan form an alliance with the lord with his three-inch tongue." ”

He does have the confidence to do so.

After all, Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin is now under Sun Quan's account, and he has a long history and is very important to Sun Quan.

Liu Bei did not reply immediately, but after pondering for a while, he said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, this matter is very big, I need to think twice before acting."

You travel back and forth to Xiangyang, running around and working hard.

Why don't you take a break and then deliberate. ”

Zhuge Liang also knew that this decision was not easy to make.

After all, this involves a question of position, and Liu Bei definitely needs to think twice.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so Zhuge Liang gave up. Before leaving, he couldn't help but say to Liu Bei: "Lord, make a quick decision."

Liang heard that Cao Thief set up three counties in Huainan, and ordered Yu Ban Zang Ba and Gan Ning to go out of Huainan, and their ambitions have been revealed. In the forbidden Zang Ba, they are all masterpieces. Nagan Nin...... I don't know. However, it is said that he is the disciple of the old thief's nephew Cao's family...... The thief passed down the article and made a name for himself in Liangzhou. If he hadn't killed Wei Duan, he would have become the arm of Cao Thief.

Liang once tried to read this person, not an idle person.

This person has great talents, and his thoughts are wild, and it is difficult to figure out if an antelope hangs its horns. The old thief ordered Gan Ning to leave the town of Huainan, which was also a signal. This son will soon be reborn. It is not yet known whether he will return to Liangzhou or come to the south at that time. However, in Liang's opinion, it is very likely that this son is a sharp sword used by the old thief to use troops against the south. If you don't make a decision early, you will become a problem to your heart. ”

Perhaps, Zhuge Liang didn't know that Cao Peng was not only his opponent, but also robbed his original wife.

In my mind, Cao Peng's appearance unconsciously appeared.

Liu Bei subconsciously clenched his fists!

Outside the city of Xiapi in Xuzhou, Cao Peng cut off the image of Yuanmen Daxu with a knife, which is still fresh in his memory.

Then, although he did not clash with Liu Bei head-on, the two fought many times...... When Liu Bei was stranded in Xudu, it was because of Cao Peng's words that Liu Bei had to flee from Xudu and wander away. This Cao Peng robbed Zhang Fei's mount and hijacked his wife's room. Not to mention that Wei Yan, who is now stationed in Huyang, is said to have a very good relationship with Cao Peng and has repeatedly sabotaged Liu Bei's plans.

If Cao Cao is Liu Bei's number one enemy!

Then Cao Peng has now become Liu Bei's confidant.

Zhuge Liang said that Cao Peng would become a big harm sooner or later...... However, in Liu Bei's heart, Cao Peng had become his confidant as early as the fourth year of Jian'an.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Zhuge Liang, say goodbye and leave.

But Liu Bei couldn't calm down for a long time!

There is no doubt that Zhuge Liang's words opened a window for him.

Jingzhou was originally his place to live. But if it can really become his foundation, it will undoubtedly give him great benefits that he has never had before.

But the question is, do you want to take refuge in Mrs. Cai?

It's also a nuisance.

Liu Bei was able to come to Jingzhou, but to put it bluntly, it was because of Liu Biao's old subordinates that he was able to gain a firm foothold.

Yi and others, as Liu Biaoshanyang's old department, gave Liu Bei a lot of support. In fact, even though Liu Bei has been in Jingzhou for several years, he has always been rejected by the Jingxiang clan. Now, through Zhuge Liang's wife, Mrs. Cai released a kindness to him, expressing the willingness of the Jingxiang clan to accept Liu Bei's wishes. This is naturally a good thing! But if Liu Bei accepts it, it is tantamount to breaking with the old department of Shanyang.

After all, the dispute between Liu Qi and Liu Cong, or in other words, the conflict between Liu Qi and the Jingxiang clan, can never be reconciled.

Liu Cong is from Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Cai is the daughter of the Cai family in Xiangyang, representing the various interests of the Jingxiang family in Jingzhou.

Although Liu Qi is said to be the eldest son of Liu Biao, he is followed by the old department of Shanyang.

But the key is that the old department of Shanyang is an outsider, and in the battle with the Jingxiang clan, it has always been at a disadvantage......

Where do we go from here?

This will test Liu Bei's moral code!

Is it to break with the old department of Shanyang and switch to the arms of the Jingxiang clan? Or continue to make friends with the old Shanyang tribe and completely break with the Jingxiang clan?

If you break with the Jingxiang clan, I believe that the contradiction between the two will no longer be reconciled.

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel extremely distressed.

He sat in his study for a long time before stepping out of the room.

"Zilong, please come to Mr. Youruo, I have some things I want to discuss with him."
