Since he decided to hug Zhuge Liang's big tree, since he is the cook of the Zhuge family, of course, the credit can only be attributed to Zhuge Liang, at least, it is not the time to show the dew.

Liu Bei's reception banquet for Zhuge Liang did not end until the first day of the lanterns, Huang Yueying had to make dinner in the kitchen to entertain Zhuge Rong, and Fang Shao also showed his hand in his new kitchen and made a bowl of Dongpo meat, which Zhuge Rong claimed to be his favorite.

Her aunt and sister-in-law chatted until late at night, and seeing that Zhuge Liang hadn't come back yet, Huang Yueying sighed: "Your brother has probably drunk too much, maybe he will stay in Zuo General's Mansion tonight, let's not wait for him, let's rest early." ”

Fang Shao, who had been dozing off for a long time, suddenly woke up and could finally sleep, but just as he was about to go back to the room, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the next person who guarded the door came to report that Mr. Zhuge was back, and he came back with the help of General Zuo.

Huang Yueying hurriedly led them out to greet them, but saw that Zhuge Liang was disheveled, the smell of alcohol, and a feather fan was also taken down, and he was talking to himself, laughing and screaming, not knowing what he was saying. And Liu Bei, who was supporting him, was no better, he was also drunk, taking two steps at a time.

"The concubine has seen General Zuo, Lang Jun, this is ......" Huang Yueying looked at the two drunks, a little overwhelmed.

Before Zhuge Liang could speak, Liu Bei shouted heartily: "Mrs. Lao Nu will get us some sobering soup, I will sleep with the military advisor tonight, and have a long talk." ”

Liu Bei's words surprised Fang Shao, the two old men were in the same bed and quilt, and they also had a long talk, he couldn't accept this kind of heavy chat, but in his memory, the famous men of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty were all people with surnames, and it was normal for them to be in the same bed when they met friends who could talk. Didn't Liu Bei sleep in the same bed with Guan Zhang's three men at the beginning, this time there was at least one less man, so it shouldn't be too crowded.

Huang Yueying is also a person of knowledge, it is rare for the lord to trust his father-in-law so much, and it is too late to rejoice in his heart, so he urgently called his subordinates to make sobering up the soup, and asked someone to clean the room and make the bed, so as to create a comfortable environment for the two of them to "share the same bed".

However, Fang Shao was unlucky, the two superiors talked all night, talking about when they were happy, when they were thirsty, they would naturally ask for water and wine, and then order side dishes, so he had to dispel the idea of sleeping, and waited outside the door with a strong spirit.

At dawn, Fang Shao had already dozed off outside for a night, and was finally woken up by the sound of snoring inside. At this time, General Zuo's mansion sent someone to come, and Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, sent someone to invite Liu Bei to go to Xiangyang to discuss important matters, so Fang Shao was not summoned, pushed the door and walked in, and after turning over the screen, his eyes were propped up, and he almost didn't laugh on the spot.

It turned out that the two of them were in a coma, Liu Bei was sleeping on the side of the couch, and Zhuge Liang was pressing one thigh on his buttocks, one arm was on his shoulder, and his face was so close to Liu Bei's neck, and the snoring went straight to Liu Bei's ears without transition, and it was also thanks to this thunderous snoring environment that Liu Bei slept so soundly.

"Really...... Heavy taste......" Fang Shao shook his head and sighed.

――――――

For more than half a month, Liu Bei came to sleep with Zhuge Liang almost every night, but he was not drunk and much more elegant. And what they talked about all night was nothing more than how to develop and grow, and the central idea of the conversation was roughly around the policy of "Longzhong Pair".

At the same time, Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as a military advisor and began to help him deal with the political affairs of Fancheng and Xinye. Zhuge Liang is strict with government orders, vigorous and resolute, and the judgment is clearly organized, and within two months, Liu Bei's jurisdiction will gradually create a scene of political communication and harmony.

Dealing with government affairs is indeed Zhuge Liang's strength, and this is not only Liu Bei, but his staff members have gradually changed their views on this young man who was entrusted with great power by Liu Bei as soon as he came out of the mountain. It can be said that Zhuge Liang's ability has begun to be recognized by people.

This time, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei went to see Liu Biao together, and when he came back in the evening, Zhuge Liang looked preoccupied.

"Sir, but something is difficult." Fang Shao served Zhuge Liang a cup of tea.

Zhuge Liang said: "It's not a difficult thing, but I learned the news from Liu Jingzhou today that Cao Ying's northern expedition to Wuhuan won a great victory, and he had returned to Xudu not long ago." ”

Fang Shao nodded and said casually: "It seems that it is not far from Cao Yingnan's expedition to Jingzhou." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he said with interest: "Tell me, how did you come to this judgment." ”

Zhuge Liang himself said that he and Fang Shao were also masters and friends, and he forced Fang Shao to study before, just because he took a fancy to his talent and had the intention of cultivating him. Therefore, when I am ordinary, I will take the initiative to discuss some military affairs with him, one is to consider him, and the other is to listen to his opinions.

Fang Shao was also blunt, and said: "Well, in fact, the matter of Cao Ying's expedition to Wuhuan to win the class has long been rumored throughout Jingzhou, and I also heard that not long after Cao Ying returned to Xudu, he ordered a big lake called 'Xuanwu Pond' to be dug nearby. With Cao Ying's person, digging the big lake will never be for fun, I guess he is ten ** to train the navy, which is to train the navy, if it is not for the preparation of the southern expedition to Jingzhou, I really can't think of other motives. ”

"Well, yes, yes, at least more discerning than Liu Jingsheng." Zhuge Liang nodded to express his appreciation for Fang Shao, "Today, I went to see Liu Jingsheng with my lord, and when I talked about this matter, Liu Jingsheng was still hesitant about Cao Ying's next goal. ”

Fang Shao said: "Forgive me for being brave, Liu Jingzhou is a self-guarding master, this is well known, and there is nothing to be done now." However, our lord is in Jingzhou, and there are no eggs under the so-called nest, once Cao Ying marches south, it will be unfavorable to everyone, and Mr. is only afraid that he will have to plot for the lord as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "I have already persuaded the lord to take advantage of his unpreparedness, lead the army to raid Xiangyang, take Liu Biao in one fell swoop, and control the entire Jingzhou as soon as possible, and then reorganize the army to deal with Cao Ying's southern invasion, but, alas-"

Fang Shao smiled: "It's just that the lord always thinks that doing this will damage his reputation of benevolence and righteousness, so he is reluctant to do it, or rather, he has to wait until Liu Jingzhou goes before he thinks about it." ”

"You kid, you've guessed it." Zhuge Liang slapped his buttocks, "Liu Biao is sick and disabled, and it is estimated that he will not live long, but Cao Yingnan's invasion is imminent, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack before he dies, and the situation will be even more complicated at that time." ”

Fang Shaodao: "In my opinion, Cao Ying's southern invasion is inevitable, this time it is not a joke, it must be a soldier who has thrown the country to come, Liu Jingzhou is dead or not, I am afraid that it will not be stopped." If the lord can take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou, use the banner of resistance to Cao to attract people's hearts, seize territory, and then form an alliance with the Jiangdong Sun clan to jointly fight against Cao Ying, it may be a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. ”

A smile rose at the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth to show his agreement with the other party's thinking, but said: "Your thinking coincides with mine, but when the time comes, under the hands of the lord, you must have a weighty team, otherwise you will not be able to win the hearts of the people by relying on fame alone." The trouble is that Fancheng, where the lord is now stationed, is under the nose of Xiangyang, and Liu Biao will not allow the lord to recruit troops privately. ”

Fang Shao pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, recruiting troops and horses privately will arouse suspicion, but if there is a way to let Liu Biao take the initiative to order the Lord to openly recruit troops and horses, then it would be good." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You said it well, but you reminded me!" ”
