The sun was setting in the west, and under the sunset, the house was also covered with a thin layer of dusk.

Liu Bei sat in the room, anxious in his heart, but pretended to be indifferent and tasted the already cold tea.

A voice came from outside the door: "I don't know if the envoy is here, there are many abrupt lights, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly got up and rushed to the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a young man in white about twenty-five or sixteen years old standing bowed.

The young man has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he does have a bit of elegant demeanor.

Bowing back with a big salute, Liu Bei carefully looked at Zhuge Liang from head to toe.

"The envoy came, and the little boy didn't know anything, so he was so sloppy!" Zhuge Liang said: "I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

"Sir, it doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Bei humbly said, stepped forward to take Zhuge Liang's hand and said: "I have been here three times, the first two times Mr. was not at home, today to see the true face is really the luck of three lives!" ”

"Please come into the study and talk!"

took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into the study with Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei found that the study was full of all kinds of books, and even some silk manuscripts.

"Little boy, watch the tea!" Invite Liu Bei and the others to sit down, Zhuge Liang instructed Xiao Tong.

When the child sent tea, Liu Bei said: "I have heard Mr. for a long time, Xu Yuan recommended Mr. to a certain person a few days ago, and I thought very much in my heart, and I came to visit him, and I hope that Mr. will not be bothered!" ”

"Let the name of the king be known early." Zhuge Liang said: "Dare to ask what is the important matter here? ”

Xiao Tong had already retreated, Liu Bei got up and stood aside, and then knelt down with his legs bent.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Why is this the case?" ”

Looking up at him, Liu Bei's eyes swelled with tears: "The Han family is declining." A certain empty ambition to serve the country, but there is no door to serve the country. Enter the plain, get Xuzhou, and stay in Xiapi. None of them have a good death! I also hope that Mr. will read in Dahan Sheji and teach him how to do it! ”

Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang. Although Liu Bei is eager to seek talents, he does not know the truth yet, and he does not dare to recruit easily.

"Please get up!" Picking Liu Bei up, Zhuge Liang said: "The major events in the world are already clear, so that you can't see through it?" ”

Liu Bei got up and asked Zhuge Liang with anticipation: "Dare to ask sir, how to be clear?" ”

"Let the king stay less!" Zhuge Liang turned around and walked to a cage and took out a roll of silk from it: "I didn't know that the envoy was coming, and I had drawn a picture earlier. I would like to explain it in detail for the sake of you! ”

Zhuge Liang took out the map, and Liu Bei was full of anticipation.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei disagreed.

Marching and fighting, sitting and guarding, is not as easy as holding the ground drawings and talking about the army!

Unfolding the map, Zhuge Liang said: "Please look at it!" ”

When he got closer, Liu Bei found that the map was marked with several patterns, and only a small area east of Qingzhou was red with cinnabar.

Looking at Zhuge Liang blankly, Liu Bei's face was full of doubts.

"Envoy, please see!" Pointing to the north on the map, Zhuge Liang said: "After Guandu and Cangting, Cao Cao has sat firmly in the Central Plains. Although the Yuan family has not been defeated, the struggle between the heirs has never stopped. Cao Cao took Hebei, but it was only a matter of time. That's one point! ”

Looking at the map, Liu Bei nodded.

Before Guandu, the Yuan family was powerful. Cao Cao had not yet sat down at that time.

After two major wars, the Yuan family declined, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to become bigger. The North has long since fallen into its hands.

Fingers wandered to the south of the Yangtze River, Zhuge Liang said: "Sun Ce borrowed 3,000 troops from Yuan Shu back then. Defeated Yan Baihu and others, and held Jiangdong tightly in his hands. Sun Ce is a talent for conquest. If he lives, the general trend of the world is still unpredictable. However, the heavens are not beautiful, and before the year of establishment, he left his hands. The successor to Jiangdong was Sun Quan, the younger brother of Sun Ce. Sun Quan has a lot of good names, but his conquest is not enough to keep it. Koto is also a point! ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything.

Zhuge Liang took out the map, and the north and south banks of the Yangtze River were divided by him to Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

Pointing to Bashu, Zhuge Liang said: "There is also a point that is the foundation of the king!" ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he looked up at Zhuge Liang.

"Although Liu Jingsheng has the reality of an imperial family, he is a cowardly person!" Zhuge Liang said: "Jingzhou is located between Cao Cao and Sun Quan, no matter who attacks, this place is difficult to protect!" Unless you take over, you may not fall into the hands of the two! ”

"Although Jingzhou is rich and accessible from north to south, after all, there is Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the south, so it must not be used as a place to take root!" Pressing his fingers on Bashu, Zhuge Liang said: "If you want to sit on a solid foundation, you must go to Hanzhong and Yizhou sooner or later!" ”

"Yizhou Liu Zhang is a certain clan relative." Liu Bei's face was embarrassed: "How can you feel at ease if you take it away?" ”

"Seize Yizhou, so that Jun will enter the giant tree and take root." Zhuge Liang said: "If you don't take it, it's like a floating ping, and it's hard to have a foundation!" ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything more, but his brows were locked.

Zhuge Liang continued: "It is a foregone conclusion that the world is divided into three parts, but there is a variable, and a certain one has never been able to see through!" ”

"What variables?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"Here!" Pointing to the red dot in the east of Qingzhou, Zhuge Liang said: "Penglai Yuan Xu! I can't understand him! ”

Liu Bei said: "A certain and Xianxin have some friendship, and they are kind people, and they are people who can be compared with each other!" ”

"I know that Yuan Xianxin once went to Xuzhou to take refuge in the envoy." Zhuge Liang said: "I also know that in the first battle of Xuzhou, he personally welcomed the envoy into Hebei. The envoy has a great friendship with him! ”

"Don't hide it, sir." Liu Bei said: "Yuan Zhi recently went to Xiangyang, and he is Yuan Xianxin!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Cao Cao Xing's troops attacked Penglai and besieged Yuan Xianxin's regiments." Liu Bei said: "I want to send troops north to relieve the siege, but there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, Yuan Zhi went to Xiangyang, and is transferring troops and horses to persuade Jingsheng Gong!" ”

"Make the king value love and righteousness!" Zhuge Liang said: "It's just that Yuan Xianxin is willing to break the siege, or two words!" ”

Looking at Zhuge Liang in amazement, Liu Bei did not interject.

He didn't understand that there were still people in the world who were besieged by a large army and refused to break the siege.

"Although the Yuan family in Hebei is broken, it is not defeated." Zhuge Liang said: "Although Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have turned against each other, the Yuan family is in one day, and Yuan Xianxin is a lot of constraints!" If it was him, he hoped that the Cao army would besiege Penglai for a longer time, and he could justifiably ignore the affairs of the Yuan family! ”

"Yuan Xianxin is waiting!" Zhuge Liang said: "But what is he waiting for, he can't see through!" On the same day, Yuan Xianxin and Guo Fengxiao fought against Hebei, and 2,000 soldiers defeated 10,000 Cao troops! His command is brave, even Cao Cao is difficult to match! If he has the heart to conquer the world, I am afraid that it will be difficult to determine a certain third! ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei's brows suddenly locked.

"So that you have no foundation now, and you can only befriend Yuan Xianxin!" Zhuge Liang continued: "Sending troops north to relieve his difficulties seems to be a righteous move, but it actually gives him a problem!" ”

"Sir!" Liu Bei got up, made a big salute to Zhuge Liang and said: "The world is complicated, it is difficult to achieve things with a certain wisdom, and I hope that Mr. will not be disdainful and help a certain achieve a great cause!" (To be continued.) )
