Liu Bei's tone was already a little pleading, he was also one of the nominal co-owners of this alliance, so he put down his body to ask like this, even if you don't agree, you should be tactful if you refuse.

But Zhou Yu was so direct, and his previous attitude towards Liu Bei had just improved a little, so the smoke disappeared.

The Zhou Yu in front of him is no longer the Zhou Yu he used to be, the battle of Chibi, Zhou Lang's name is sensational in the world, this is the Zhou Lang who beat Cao Ying's "800,000" army to the point of "falling flowers", looking at the world for more than ten years, the people who can make Cao Ying so miserable are simply a handful.

Therefore, when Liu Bei was simply rejected by Zhou Yu, he saw that Zhou Yu's arrogance was more than many times longer than before the Battle of Chibi, but he was afraid that it would be more difficult to get along with him later.

Although he touched a nose of ash, but it was related to his future destiny, Liu Bei couldn't help but pull down his old face, suppressed the unhappiness in his stomach, forced a smile, and said cheekily: "The four counties in the south are uneven, and the governor will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy on his back when he attacks Jiangling, and there are still tens of thousands of Cao troops in Jiangling at the moment, but I am afraid that the governor will be difficult to draw troops to go south. ”

Liu Bei is really a bit cheeky when he says this, yes, although the four southern counties together with the southern counties can form a north-south flank attack on the Wu army, but with the strength of the four counties, it is still a question of whether they can protect themselves, not to mention the courage to attack Zhou Yu, who has just defeated Cao Ying.

In the Jiangnan war, the water war took the lead, and there were two waterways leading to the Yangtze River in the four southern counties, one was Xiangshui and the other was Youjiang. As early as before the Battle of Chibi, the Wu people captured the three counties of Xiajun, Hanchang and Liuyang in the northeast of Changsha County, and controlled the mouth of Dongting Lake.

Therefore, Liu Bei's so-called excuse is theoretically not valid at all.

"Okay, you Liu Bei, there was not a single soldier in the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Ulin only remembered to grab food and money, why didn't you remember that we were an alliance at that time, and now you think of it again when you see the benefits, you are really embarrassed, I just don't allow it, I dare to turn against me."

Zhou Yu made up his mind, his face was even more resolute, and he said coldly: "The two alliances, I, Zhou Yu, am just acting on the orders of Wu Hou, and I don't dare to call the shots for such a big thing as Nanjun, if Liu Yuanjun feels that he has that ability, he will go and discuss it with Wu Hou." Yu still wants to inspect the camps, so he will not accompany him first, so that the king can please take care of himself. ”

Zhou Yu didn't give Liu Bei a chance to speak again, so he got up and walked away, leaving Liu Bei in the big tent embarrassed.

Liu was so angry that he had to come back with a long face, and scolded as soon as he entered the tent: "Zhou Yu is too much in sight, he is really angry, I Liu Bei will report this evil breath sooner or later." ”

Zhuge Liang and Fang Shao glanced at each other, both wanting to be able to make the inconceivably good-tempered Liu Bei angry like this, and it is estimated that Zhou Yu gave him a lot of suffocation today.

Zhuge Liang then smiled and said: "The lord is angry, Ruo Liang expected it to be good, Zhou Yu not only refused, but also shirked and asked the lord to go to Sun Quan to discuss." ”

Liu Bei immediately said the unpleasant conversation before, Zhang Fei listened to it, he was so angry that his beard stood upside down, and scolded angrily: "He Zhou Yu is a fart, when his brother and Cao thief were fighting, he was still playing in the gentle township in the south of the Yangtze River, he was really angry, brother, why don't you sneak attack Wu Ying tonight and destroy Zhou Yu's house unexpectedly." ”

As soon as Zhang Fei said this, everyone's faces changed slightly, and even Fang Shao was moved.

Fang Shao was not shocked by Zhang Fei's anger, but what he called the strategy of "sneaking up on Wu Ying". At present, although Liu Beijun is small, but because Zhou Yu has no scruples, he has been relaxing his vigilance, if it is really as Zhang Fei said, it is impossible to attack Zhou Yu's army by surprise, and it is impossible to capture and kill him.

It's just that there are too many elements of luck in this, and even if Zhou Yu is killed, what if his army is forced to disperse, with Liu Bei's army alone, how to face Cao Ren who has tens of thousands of people in Jiangling City on the north bank, and how to deal with Cheng Pu's 10,000 horses, who have always been outside the command of Zhou Yu.

Zhang Fei's strategy and tactics are very strong, but they are obviously unfavorable in the overall situation.

Sure enough, without waiting for Zhuge Liang to speak, Liu Bei shook his head first and said: "Forget it, Wu is powerful, then Zhou Yu Chibi is successful, and it is inevitable to play some arrogance, Yide, your strategy is happy now, but it will only put me in a more disadvantageous situation." ”

Zhang Fei was rejected by Liu Bei and had nothing to say, so he could only sit down with his butt tilted and sulked.

Liu Bei's anger also disappeared at this time, and the whole person calmed down, so he said: "Military advisor, now Zhou Yu does not allow me to take the four southern counties, according to your opinion, what should I do." ”

Zhuge Liang paced back and forth for a while, shook his fan and said: "According to Liang's opinion, since Zhou Yu said that the lord should go and discuss with Sun Quan, then the lord might as well send someone to lobby Sun Quan, if Sun Quan nodded, it is expected that Zhou Yu would not dare to oppose it again." ”

Liu Bei was puzzled and said: "The three generations of the Sun family have coveted Jingzhou for a long time, and now that the four southern counties are ownerless, such a large piece of land, Sun Quan has probably coveted it for a long time, and he is afraid that if he sends someone to lobby, then Sun Quan will not let me take it." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently: "The lord doesn't have to worry, right now Zhou Yu is blocked under Jiangling City, and Cheng Pufang is guarding Jiangxia too much, and he is busy encroaching on the south of Jiangxia." And Cao Ying's defeat, Hefei can take advantage of the opportunity, Zhou and Pu can stand alone in the west, Hefei direction Sun Quan will inevitably go to the front, at this time, it is difficult for the Wu people to stretch out their hands to the four southern counties. ”

Fang Shao also added: "The military advisor is right, not to mention the feud between the Jingzhou people and the Wu people, although the four southern counties have few soldiers, but if the Wu people come to attack, they will definitely resist with all their might, so if the Wu people send fewer soldiers, most of them will not be able to attack, but at this time, there is nowhere to draw more soldiers and horses." The lord is different, the lord is the same sect as Liu Biao, and he is already popular in Jingzhou, and he can also use the orthodox banner of the eldest prince to go to the four counties as easy as a breeze. Sun Quan united with the lord to take advantage of the lord's point, so he couldn't have thought of it. ”

The analysis of the master and apprentice made Liu Bei have a lot of confidence, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, let's send someone to lobby Sun Quan first, it seems that this time it will be difficult for the military division to go on a hard trip." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liang can't talk about hard work, but at present, a lot of Jingzhou troops have been newly recruited, and they are still waiting to be absorbed, and Liu Qi in Xiakou is also waiting for Yu Liang to personally make some means, I am afraid that I will not be able to withdraw for a while." ”

In terms of diplomacy, Liu Bei has always relied on Zhuge Liang, and when he heard him say it, he made another difficulty, and said: "The military advisor really can't pull away, so I don't know who to send to the right place." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, pointed at Fang Shao, and said, "Why don't you think about it, isn't there a best candidate right now." ”
