(Four more, a long sigh of relief, finally speaking, hehe, by the way, ask for some subscriptions.) At this moment, the whole big tent was in a mess, there were broken cloth sawdust everywhere, and the cases and documents were all smashed to pieces.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, was cloaked, supporting his body with a sword, his head lowered, and he sat there like a statue that would breathe.

He was panting like a cow, his face was pale, his cheeks were rolling with tears, and his whole person was extremely depressed, as if he had experienced a serious illness.

A generation of heroes, how could there have been such an unbearable time.

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and said softly: "Lord, people can't be resurrected after death, and I hope that the lord will put the great cause first, and the mourning is by the way." ”

After swinging the sword and dancing wildly, the grief and indignation in Liu Bei's heart seemed to be vented, and the whole person was not as wild as before, but how could the pain that was so unforgettable be dissipated like this.

"It's me who raised the tiger, it's me who is sorry for Yun Chang, it's all my fault." Liu Bei blamed himself in a trembling voice, and his tone was a little choked.

He remembered that when he wanted to accept Liu Feng as his adopted son, Guan Yu had strongly opposed it, but he insisted on not listening to the old thing.

If he listened to Guan Yu's persuasion, would there still be a tragic situation today?

"The lord doesn't need to blame himself, everything has its own certainty, how can everything be expected, perhaps, this is Yun Chang's fate."

Zhuge Liang used the so-called number of lives to comfort Liu Bei, although he didn't believe it himself, but for Liu Bei, it might be able to alleviate the self-blame in his heart.

Liu Bei is also not a person who believes in fate, if he believes in fate, after the failure of Xuzhou that year, he should have gone home to farm with peace of mind.

However, after listening to Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Bei's mood seemed to calm down a little, he put his sword back into the sheath, tidied up his scattered hair a little, and his expression gradually recovered.

After wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, Yun Chang's revenge, I must revenge, I plan to withdraw the siege of Yucheng, personally lead the army to return to the east, and avenge Yun Chang's blood hatred, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed slightly, what Liu Bei said was also the reason why he rushed to Yucheng in a hurry.

"Yun Chang's revenge must be avenged, and Jingzhou can't be recaptured, but Liang asks the lord to focus on the overall situation and think twice." Zhuge Liang clenched his fists and reminded.

Liu Bei snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Liu Feng's beast is just a fraud to take Jingzhou, why be afraid, once my army returns to the east, it will definitely be wiped out in one fell swoop." ”

"Although Liu Feng is a deceit, he was able to defeat Yun Chang's army, and finally made Yun Chang die, which shows that his strength is no longer the same as at the beginning, not to mention that he still has the families of the soldiers of the whole army, which must not be underestimated."

Zhuge Liang's persuasion made Liu Bei fall into deep thought.

Zhuge Liang then said: "Moreover, now that the city can be taken down, once the army is withdrawn and returned to the east, it is equivalent to giving Liu Zhang a chance to breathe, and if Liu Zhang joins forces with Liu Feng and attacks our army from east to west, the general situation will be in danger, and at such a critical moment, the lord must not withdraw the siege of the city." ”

Liu Bei was determined to be resolute, but soon hesitated again, as if he had listened to Zhuge Liang's persuasion, and it seemed that this was what he was thinking.

"However, I am a brother and sister to Yun Chang, and Yun Chang is dead, if I don't avenge him, won't everyone in the world laugh at me as a negative person." Liu Bei said with an embarrassed face.

"There are priorities, Liang said before that Yun Chang's revenge must be avenged, but Liang asked the lord to focus on the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, first concentrate his forces to capture Yizhou, and then use it as a backing to make the army march eastward.

After these words, Liu Bei's hesitant expression faded a lot.

"Liang Xiangyun Chang has always been loyal and righteous, and he also takes it as his responsibility to help the Han family, if he has a spirit in the sky, I am afraid he does not want the lord to avenge him and ignore the great cause of reviving the Han family."

At this point, Liu Bei could say anything more, so he had to sigh and say: "The military advisor is reasonable, but I was too emotional for a while, and I almost missed the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Liu Bei's face was full of worries, "Yun Chang's enmity can be temporarily suppressed and not reported, but you must know that most of the people in our army, up to the military generals of Wenchen and down to the soldiers, are borrowed from Jingzhou, and now that their hometown has fallen and their relatives are mourned, they must be very anxious and want to regain their hometown." What if these people insist that I lead my army back? ”

Perhaps, this is Liu Bei's real concern.

This is not Zhuge Liang's concern, but now, even if he is clever, he can't return Jingzhou to Liu Bei's hands.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to say: "Now, if the lord wants to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers, he can only offset the impact of the fall of Jingzhou by making promises and luring each other with benefits." ”

"Make a promise?" Liu Bei's spirits lifted a little.

"Exactly, for the civil and military officials, the lord can promise that as long as Yizhou is captured, he will not only be crowned an official and enter the knighthood, but also take the best of Shuzhongtianshe. As for the soldiers of the three armies, they will be rewarded by the treasury, and the women in Shu can be plundered as wives. Under this reward, I believe that I will be able to stabilize the hearts of the upper and lower levels. ”

Zhuge Liang's move is ruthless enough, but he also has the way of power.

Whether it is a scholar or a soldier, the reason why they follow Liu Bei is, fundamentally speaking, nothing more than the word profit.

Jingzhou fell, what ordinary soldiers are worried about is nothing more than the loss of wives and children, then good, I will let them rob the women in Shuzhong at will to be wives and have sons, and also take the money from the treasury to let you start a family.

As for the scholars who have land and employment in Jingzhou, then I will take over the powerful fields and mansions of the indigenous people of Yizhou and reward them to you, so that you can live a high-class life with a head and a face and no worries about food and clothing in Yizhou.

In this way, although they could not completely resist the loss of interests brought to these people by the fall of Jingzhou, they were always given a visible and tangible promise, which gave them a reason to follow Liu Bei to fight again.

Most of the princes in the world have used this trick, but it is extremely difficult to put it here in Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's expression immediately became in a dilemma.

The reason is very simple, Liu Bei came to fight the world under the banner of benevolence and righteousness, even if it was an "unkind and unjust" attack on Yizhou, but he also tried his best to restrain military discipline to his subordinates and strictly forbade them from harassing the people.

But now, if he openly indulges his subordinates to plunder the land and plunder the women's money, wouldn't this be tantamount to betraying his own name of righteousness and slapping his own mouth.

Of course, Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei's difficulties, so when he saw Liu Bei's bitter face, he immediately relieved: "Now is the autumn of life and death, and the lord has made such a disobedient move in order to revive the great cause of the Han Dynasty, which is also a helpless choice." For those who have been harmed, after the Lord settles the world in the future, they can compensate them as much as they want, and I believe they can also understand the Lord's suffering. ”

Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, why he can make Liu Beiyan obey, it is because he not only has a smart mind, but also has a three-inch tongue, whether it is above board or shameless strategy, he can always find a high-sounding reason for Liu Bei.

At this point, the ladder has been set up, how can Liu Bei not go down the ladder.

After a long sigh, Liu Bei said helplessly: "So far, it can only be like this, for the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, I only have to violate my conscience once, I hope that the people of Shu can forgive me in the future." ”

After some persuasion from Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei seemed to have withdrawn from the grief of Guan Yu's death, and at this moment, the expression of lost soul was no longer there, and the former heroic posture seemed to be recovering quickly.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, forgive me for being blunt, although there is still a chance to redeem everything, we also have to plan for the worst." ”

"The worst plan, the military advisor refers to ......" Liu Bei's brows furrowed again.

"That is, Yizhou cannot be conquered, Jingzhou cannot be returned, the soldiers are separated, and the army's morale is scattered." Zhuge Liang replied reluctantly.

Liu Bei took a breath of cool air, a chill welled up on his back, and asked silently: "That military advisor thinks that how to do this worst plan." ”

Zhuge Liang leaned forward and said in a low voice: "The lord can send someone to Hanzhong to secretly marry Zhang Lu, once things are bad, the lord can follow the plan of relying on Liu Jingsheng back then, go north to rely on Zhang Lu, and then find ways to earn Hanzhong, and then go north out of Guanzhong and enter the Central Plains, then there is still hope for the great cause of the Han Dynasty to restore the Han Dynasty." ”

"Zhang Lu, Hanzhong ......"

………… Xiangyang.

Niu Jin came to surrender with a full of favored heads, which was indeed a bit unexpected by Liu Feng.

Because Liu Feng knew that Cao Jun in Dangyang was still full of favor, this person had always been loyal to Cao Ying, and he did not have enough troops to block the road to Fangling, so although he repaired the book and used Cao Ren's name to persuade him to surrender, he originally did not have much hope.

More than 10,000 Cao troops, plus almost all Guan Yu troops, Jingzhou surprise attack has been carried out so far, Liu Feng lost less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, not only unexpectedly took Xiangyang, but also increased nearly 30,000 troops, and his strength increased greatly in a short period of time.

It's just that although there are many descendants, when the people's hearts are undecided, Liu Feng naturally can't use them as descendants. As it stands, Liu Feng's territory has increased dramatically in a short period of time, and there are too few credible troops that can be used to occupy these newly occupied areas.

At this time, Pang Tong gave Liu Feng a plan.

There are 10,000 Changsha troops in Jiangbei, of which 5,000 are used to defend Jiangling and 5,000 to defend Xiangyang. Guan Yu's 10,000 troops were transferred to the north to cross the Han River and seize Fancheng, Xinye and other important places in Jingbei. Cao Ren's 10,000 troops were transferred to the west to attack Yidu. Threatening family members can minimize the possibility of betrayal by these surrendered troops.

As for Shamoke's 10,000 barbarian soldiers, Liu Feng ordered them to go to Jingbei, and he had to seize the important land of Xinye before one person, and cut off the return route of that person's retreat north.
