In the north of Xiangyang, there is a small city, called Xinye, and now it is Liu Huang's uncle Liu Bei who is stationed in it

Liu Bei, who has been running for more than ten years, has gained a lifetime of fame, but he still hasn't even kept an inch of the foundation!

In the final analysis, among the many reasons for his failure, it was not that he Liu Beibing was unfavorable and brave, nor was it that the clan hated him and abandoned him, but because there was no clever mastermind who really planned for him, which caused him to choose inappropriately when he made a choice!

Liu Bei himself also knows this principle, but thousands of troops are easy to obtain, a general is hard to find, and the mastermind is naturally even more rare and difficult to find, so he can only cry out in vain!

However, he is different now!

Half a year ago, when he first arrived in Jingzhou, he was not familiar with the place, and he was not known for more than ten years of benevolence, otherwise, I was afraid that even Xinye would not be able to gain a foothold

After he recuperated for half a month, he inquired about the humanities of celebrities and scholars in Jingzhou, and immediately began to make friends and go back and forth to the mansions of celebrities and scholars, seeking talents and visiting talents!

The so-called 'hard-working people, the sky does not live up', relying on a good face and good reputation, he has also made friends with many talents, such as the Huang family, the Ma family, the Zhuge family, and some idle celebrities

Especially after he heard the words of 'Wolong, Phoenix Chick, you have to settle the world', he actively visited, although the Pang family where the 'Phoenix Chick' was located had a general friendship with him, and there was no way to visit, but the Zhuge clan where the 'Wolong' was located was close to him

When he learned about the residence of 'Wolong', he visited him several times and took care of each other several times, but he really asked for this talented --- 'Wolong' Zhuge Kongming!

"Can the military advisor come back from Xiangyang?" Liu Bei was a little lazy and proud, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked the chief guard beside him, now he finally realized what it was like to have a big talent under his command

Politics?

Simple, come on, strategist!

Military?

It's not difficult, strategist, you can find my second brother!

The young man in the white robe and white armor beside Liu Bei had a solemn face, and replied meticulously: "Lord Qi!" The military advisor has returned to the camp and is sorting out the gains, and he will come to see the lord in a moment! ”

"Good!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and said excitedly: "It seems that this trip to Xiangyang has gained a lot?!" Hahaha"

Liu Bei said, looked at the surrounding civil and military forces, and smiled proudly

"What the eldest brother said is very true!" Second Brother Guan squinted Danfeng's eyes, stroked his long beard, showed a faint smile, and praised;

Guan Yu was originally a master who disrespected scholars, but this Zhuge Kongming was the first person to convince him; Recently, he has begun to familiarize himself with military books and other scriptures, in order to help his eldest brother; Especially the "Spring and Autumn", which made him deeply aware and powerful!

Another moment

Liu Bei finally waited for the good news from his military advisor

"What the military advisor said is true?!" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Kongming in surprise, he thought that Zhuge Liang went to Xiangyang this time just to ask for some benefits for him, but he didn't think that he would have the opportunity to send troops to Jiangxia, so wouldn't Jiangxia be his at that time? !

Liu Bei began to think about it

"Cough" Zhuge Liang interrupted Liu Bei's rhapsody and said solemnly: "The lord is not the only one who sent troops to assist Jiangxia this time, so if the lord has an idea, he needs to plan a little!" ”

"I'm not alone?!" Liu Bei's joy stopped abruptly, and he asked seriously, "That's?!" ”

"This matter has to start with Liu Muzhi," Zhuge Liang told everything that happened in the Xiangyang Palace

"I didn't expect there to be such a talent in the Han family!" Liu Bei sighed, then his eyes lit up again, and asked, "The military advisor thinks this person may be recruited?" And Yang Ye of that Wuling, it is rumored that he is also a general, and he may be recruited?! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, but did not say a guess about the identity of Yang Ye and the others, but only denied: "This matter is very difficult!" ”

Liu Bei was a little frustrated, but he immediately heard Zhuge Liang say again: "Do you still remember what I told my lord about the foundation?!" ”

"The wise words of the military advisor, naturally remember!" Liu Bei nodded and said: "The military advisor said that all the lands in the south have masters, and among the top four, only Liu Jingzhou and Shuzhong can be striking!" ”

"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "In fact, among the four heroes in the south, the strongest is the second son Xiu!" ”

"Liu Xiu?! How can it be? How can that little white face be the strongest!? Zhang Fei, who was listening from the sidelines, heard Liu Xiu's name, and immediately shouted unconvinced: "Liu Xiu's child is nested in a remote place in the south, what can he do?!" ”

"As long as the eldest brother wins Jiangxia, he is a hundred times better than Liu Xiu!"

Zhang Fei roared, and although Guan Yu beside him did not speak, he nodded slightly

Zhuge Liang stroked his young bearded jaw and analyzed seriously: "The three generals don't know the details, wait for me to explain to you!" ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, everyone in the hall immediately pricked up their ears to listen

"A few years ago, Liang also felt that the second son had been living in Jingnan, fighting in the east and west, doing useless work, it was better to go back to Jingbei to compete for the position of the prince, maybe it was more promising, and it was precisely because of this that Liang once thought that the second son was just a person like Liu Jingzhou."

"However, in recent years, the second prince has fought in the south and the north, although the places he has obtained are all some barren places, but if they are connected"

"Lord, look!" Zhuge Liang said, stood up, pointed to the area south of the Yangtze River on the map of the Han Dynasty, and compared to Liu Xiu's territory, and continued: "These places are owned by the second son, and the other three males are based on these three places!" The land of the second son, the west can go straight to Shuzhong, the middle can directly take Jingbei, and the east can go straight to Jiangdong, which can be said to be the four major states in the south, all of which can become the place where the second son uses troops! ”

Liu Bei and the others looked carefully at the place Zhuge Liang pointed to, and did not find anything wrong, but felt that the rear of Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and the Sun family seemed to be controlled by Liu Xiu

At this time, Zhuge Liang continued: "Over the years, the war in the north has been chaotic, and there are many people who have gone south, and even countless people have fled to Jingnan and Jiaozhou, so in fact, the second son's strength is not lost to either side, and the second son has no worries, but at the same time controls the rear of the three!" ”

"Therefore, as long as the second son's soldiers are strong and strong, he can immediately wave his army north! And among the three, the land of Shuzhong, as long as there is a Shu road map, Shuzhong can be broken with a snap of a finger, and the land of the four battles in Jingbei is also powerless to resist, only the Jiangdong Sun family may be able to resist one or two! ”

Zhuge Liang analyzed, but he didn't say anything about the three families jointly attacking Liu Xiu, because the three alliances were completely zero probability

"This?" Liu Bei and the others were a little unconvinced, and said in a daze: "My nephew will have such a wise plan?" ”

"Liu Xiu's child, there are only a few brave generals under his command, where can there be such a powerful military advisor?!" Zhang Fei still remembered Zhang Oyster, who had fought with him, and the generals who had charged

Guan Yu, the white-robed general, the white-armored general and others also looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, with a look of disbelief that I didn't believe, after all, if there was such a strategy, there would be no need to choose such a remote place in the south as the foundation for their own development

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "There is very little information about the martial arts under the command of the second son, as if it appeared out of thin air, even if Liang has the Jingzhou news channels mastered by the Zongheng family, he can't know the specific situation, so Liang can only analyze it from the layout of the second son."

"But whether that's the case or not, the lord has to do it quickly! During the period when the second son was rich and strong, before leading the army to the north, he preemptively sought to seize the land of Jingshu! ”

"As for Jiangxia, it can only be a little foundation for the lord to base himself in the south, and there is no need to hold it for a long time!"

Zhuge Liang said everything that should be done in one sentence
