Fang Shaomeng turned around, but saw Zhuge Liang slowly coming with a feather fan, although he was smiling indifferently, he could vaguely see two dark circles under his eyes, and he was very tired.

Fang Shao was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Didn't the lord leave Mr. to guard Fankou, why did Mr. also come to Chibi, didn't he come here all the way to see it." ”

"Stinky boy, it's okay for Mr. to make fun of you, but if you make fun of Mr., you don't respect the teacher." Zhuge Liang pretended to be displeased, and raised his foot to kick his ass.

"The student is wrong, and the gentleman is merciful." Fang Shao flashed to the side, and hurriedly made a plea.

Zhuge Liang gave up and said, "Don't be verbose, where is the lord, take me to see him." ”

Fang Shao took Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei's tent, and asked as he walked: "Sir, I see that you also arrived here in the starry night, but is there anything important?" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced around and said, "We are in the camp of the Wu people, and there are a lot of eyes and ears around, and we will go to see the lord before talking." ”

Zhuge Liang was mysterious, Fang Shao knew that he must have something secret, so he didn't ask more at the moment, and instead of passing through Nanying, he came to Liu Bei's tent after a while.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw that the lights were flickering inside, and Liu Bei was leaning on the case to study the map, and it seemed that most of them did not get up early, but stayed awake all night with Fang Shao.

"Lord, look who's coming." Fang Shao said with a smile.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, looked up, couldn't help but show surprise on his face, jumped up busily, and said, "Strategist, why are you here?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Liang Qian said that he and Zijing arrived at Fankou with the grain fleet, and heard that the lord came to Chibi with Zhou Lang, so he left Zijing and took a light boat to meet the lord first. ”

Liu Bei paused slightly, and said: "The military advisor didn't stay in Fankou, and came in such a hurry, is there anything important to remind me." ”

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and glanced at the map on the case, and didn't answer first, but asked rhetorically: "The lord seems to have stayed up all night, could it be that he has no confidence in Zhou Lang?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "The mind of preparation can't hide the eyes of the military advisor." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liang grew up in Jingzhou since he was a child, and he has heard a lot about that Zhou Lang. ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I really didn't have much confidence in Zhou Yu before, but after dealing with him a few times and seeing his demeanor with my own eyes, I know that this person is indeed a rare commander as the military advisor said." It's just that I don't have confidence in Zhou Yu now, but I don't have confidence in Wu Jun. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Why did the lord say that? ”

Liu Bei said the matter of Zhou Yu's convening of the generals before, and then said: "I think that Cheng Pu doesn't buy Zhou Yu, if Sun Quan believes in Zhou Yu, why bother to seal such a right governor, in my opinion, most of them have the intention of clamping Zhou Yu." And Cheng Pu has 10,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, I estimate that Zhou Yu can't be mobilized, so in this battle, there are actually less than 20,000 people who can really be put into battle, plus the internal pace of the Wu army is not necessarily the same, I think this battle is hanging. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It turns out that the lord has already seen this, but in fact, one of the things that Liang came to this time is to show the lord the internal discord between Sun and Wu. Liang stayed in Chaisang for a few days, and also inquired in many ways, in fact, since Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan has been consciously suppressing Zhou Yu, not giving him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and Bu Qi and other Wuzhong celebrities, also because Zhou Yu started in Jiangbei, so he has been excluded from time to time, if this time Sun Quan is forced to be isolated, I am afraid that he will still not use Zhou Yu, and the appointment of Cheng Pu as the right governor is the manifestation of Sun Quan's suspicion of him. ”

Fang Shao admired Zhuge Liang a little at this time, he didn't expect that his trip to Jiangdong would be so far-sighted, and quietly investigate the contradictions within the Sun family.

Fang Shao couldn't help but ask at this time: "In that case, why is Mr. still so confident in Zhou Lang." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and laughed at this time, and said: "As the so-called not being jealous is a mediocre talent, Sun Quan is so jealous of Zhou Yu, isn't it because Zhou Lang is talented." And the Jiangdong Mengjiang he brought now, Liang also inquired about them one by one, they were all tiger and wolf people who followed Sun Ce to sweep Jiangdong back then, with Sun Ce's ability to know people, Liang believes that when this life and death are at stake, these people will inevitably know the priorities. Therefore, Liang firmly believes that Zhou Lang will undoubtedly win this battle. ”

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, pondered for a moment, but smiled with relief, and said: "Most of the military advisor's vision will not be wrong, okay, then I will believe this Zhou Yu for the time being." However, the military advisor didn't come here just to cheer me on. ”

Zhuge Liang coughed lightly and said, "This is just one of them, Liang Zhi knew that the previous lord Liuyide would guard all the three thousand infantry troops in Fankou, but it was because he didn't trust Zhou Yu. Now the result of the war has become clear, once Cao Ying is defeated, he will inevitably return to the north, which is an opportunity for us to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, but if the lord leaves all the soldiers and horses in the rear, what will the lord use to grab money, grain, and territory with the Wu army? ”

"'Grab money, grab food, grab land', why do I sound so familiar." Fang Shao thought so in his heart, so he also said: "Lord, what Mr. said is reasonable, at the beginning, our Changbanpo was defeated, and most of the heavy losses accumulated for many years were lost. That Cao Ying's army of 70,000 or 80,000 must be piled up with money and grain, since he is so willing to be this 'transport captain', why don't we accept it generously." ”

"'Captain of the Transport Brigade'?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the new words blurted out by Fang Shao, his brows moved, and he smiled: "This metaphor is very vivid, it seems that I want to ...... again."

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard the sound of horns in the camp, and in a moment, the soldiers of the Wu army who were still asleep woke up one by one, hurriedly put on their tents, and ran to the wharf by the Qi River.

When the three of them were alert, they saw Zhao Yun striding towards with a silver spear, and when he saw Kong Ming, he didn't hurry to salute, he only arched his hand slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord, the Cao thief water army is approaching Chibi, and Zhou Yu has ordered the whole army to go out and prepare to engage the Cao thief water army on the river." ”

Liu Bei and the others' expressions changed slightly, but Fang Shao also took a deep breath and secretly thought: "It's finally going to start." ”
