Chapter 970: Walking on the Road to Surpass Guan Zhong
In the heavy snowfall, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house and invited Zhuge Liang out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoThis is a few years earlier than the later generations, but Zhuge Liang was nearly thirty years old when he was born in the later generations, and this is the time when he is in high spirits.
After Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, he often said that he was like a fish in water, and he was inseparable. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't say a few words.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei treating this young Zhuge Liang like this, and his heart was unbalanced.
Immediately after, the news that Liu Biao was seriously ill and bedridden came.
Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Shuijing is really a god, and he has already calculated that Liu Biao will die soon." β
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "The lord will sit high in Xiangyang, but there is only the time of the day, and no one can be peaceful." β
"Human?" Liu Bei is quite understanding.
So, under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei collected gifts as much as possible, and Jingzhou began to pull relationships and run relationships.
If Liu Bei is the best at getting along with people, as the saying goes, this person is very good at getting along. He befriended the Jingzhou scholars and talked about his own ideas.
Because this concept talked about by Liu Bei is beneficial to the interests of the scholars, the scholars have more contacts with Liu Bei, and the relationship is very good.
Liu Bei had no wife, so Zhuge Liang said, "Cai Mao is the leader of the Jingzhou army, and he has a younger sister, if he can marry her." The lord has both the family and Cai Mao's support. β
Liu Bei followed his words, and found a relationship to talk about the matchmaker.
"Miss Ben won't marry that old fellow! Miss Ben's future husband must be a real hero! "Don't look at Cai Yuan, who is only fifteen years old, but she has a huge childish face, and many Jingzhou sons and brothers have come to ask for marriage, but she can't look at it.
Cai Mao's parents have passed away, just such a sister, it is really the eldest brother like a father, and she loves her very much. Since his sister was unwilling, he simply postponed the marriage, "Uncle Liu Huang is too old, he is forty years old, so it's better to marry someone who is 'right'." β
Liu Bei was very embarrassed when he heard this.
Because Liu Bei was too old, the Jingzhou scholars were reluctant to marry their daughters to him.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang played a role, and finally let Liu Bei marry Kuai Yue's widowed sister-in-law, that is, the wife of the dead Kuai Liang.
Finally, Liu Bei also became related to the Jingzhou scholars.
Liu Bei said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "I want to marry a wife, so I will find a candidate for my brother." β
It turned out that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not marry a wife, all because Liu Bei did not marry a wife.
Liu Bei's wedding was very grand, and all the major families in Jingzhou came.
Three days after the marriage, Liu Bei received news that Liu Biao wanted to see him.
Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said: "This must be Liu Biao's desire to give way to the lord, but you can go quickly to avoid changes." β
Liu Bei was suspicious and went on the road in a hurry.
Since Qin Feng appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, all kinds of things were involved. After Liu Biao killed Kuai Liang in order to curry favor with Qin Feng, he offended the Jingzhou scholars, so he failed to marry Cai Mao's sister, and he did not have his youngest son Liu Cong, only Liu Qi.
Liu Biao knew very well that when the princes were crusading against Rome, he delayed and did not send troops, which attracted the three young soldiers in the capital to suppress the border. At that time, he used Kuai Liang as a shield to kill, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the Jingzhou scholars. Subsequently, in order to let Sun Ce withdraw from Jiangxia, he killed Huang Zu again, and the Jingzhou scholars had greater opinions on him.
His son is young, and after his death, it is impossible to control the situation in Jingzhou, but there is a danger that the family will be wiped out.
Therefore, Liu Biao deliberately gave way to Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to promise to take care of his son.
The current Liu Bei is different from the one in later generations, and Liu Bei happily accepted the abdication.
Liu Biao made a will, and after his death, Liu Bei took over Jingzhou.
Liu Bei is already the identity of the heir, under the mention of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xinye, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, are all stationed in Xiangyang City.
That is, two days later, the news of Liu Biao's death came out.
Liu Qi exclaimed: "My father is fine in the morning!" The spirit is better than yesterday. β
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said, "This is a return to the light." β
After Liu Biao's death, Liu Bei had a good relationship with the Shi clan, and promised the interests of the Shi clan, so he was supported by the Shi clan in Jingzhou.
Liu Bei successfully took over Jingzhou, collected all the civil and military forces in Jingzhou, and his strength rose.
β¦β¦
Jingzhou thieves are rampant, often crusaded by Jingzhou, hearing the news of Liu Biao's death, multiple sect thieves joined forces, and 30,000 troops came to rob Xiangyang to take revenge.
Liu Bei summoned Guan and Zhang.
Before entering the house, Zhang Fei said to Guan Yu: "You can let Kong Ming go to meet the enemy." β
When the two entered the house, Liu Bei asked: "Now that I am in charge of Jingzhou for the first time, many people are not convinced, this time the thieves led troops to attack, and they are about to show my brother's means and win the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, how to meet the enemy?" β
Zhang Feiluo's cheeks curled and said, "Big brother, why don't you let the 'water' go?" β
"'Water' goes?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Zhilai Kongming, second brother Yongsu, how can you prevaricate!" β
Zhang Fei said: "Liu Biao intends to entrust the eldest brother, and he will have Jingzhou without Zhuge Liang." β
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "It was Kong Ming's diplomatic means that I was supported by the Jingzhou scholars." Liu Biao must have also learned some news, knowing that his son could not control Jingzhou, so he gave way to me, which is not simple. β
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally killed the enemy for the eldest brother, and after they left, Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang again.
"I'm afraid that the second and third generals won't listen to my orders. If the lord wants to show the march, beg for a fake sword mark. Zhuge Liang said.
Liu Bei handed over Zhuge Liang with a sword seal, and then gathered the generals to listen to the order.
The day after.
Zhuge Liang easily designed it, annihilated all the thieves, and received more than 10,000 people. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been invincible for many years, and this time they won happily, so they respected Zhuge Liang's ability.
The thieves harassed Jingzhou for many years, Liu Biao has not been able to pacify, Liu Bei took charge of Jingzhou and won a big victory, which allowed him to consolidate his position in Jingzhou.
However, Liu Bei was not happy, and consulted with Zhuge Liang again, and said: "Although there is a foothold, after Qin Feng eliminated Cao Cao, the army did not return to the north, but continued to mobilize materials. After integrating the remaining forces of Yuan Shao, LΓΌ Bu, and Cao Cao, its strength reached 300,000. Xiliang Ma Teng and Jiangdong Sun Ce are all allies and apprentices of Qin Feng. β
Liu Bei said uneasily: "The nearest tun of his troops is in Runan, and the cavalry can reach Nanyang day and night, and his next target will definitely be my Jingzhou." Although I have more than 200,000 armor in Jingzhou, but the training is insufficient, the talent is scarce, and the thieves in the territory are rampant. If Qin Zi goes south, how can he resist it? β
Although Liu Bei got Jingzhou at this moment, the pressure from Qin Feng was huge, which made Liu Bei tremble every day and couldn't sleep well at night.
Compared with Liu Bei's panic, Zhuge Liang is very confident, this time Liu Bei got Jingzhou, he won a great victory out of the mountain, and he felt that he had successfully walked on the road to surpass Guan Zhong, and shook the feather fan and said: "Don't worry, the lord has a plan." β
