Time flies, time flies, in a blink of an eye is the twenty-fourth autumn of Jian'an, ten years have passed in a flash, and the ignorant child has grown into a young man. As the saying goes, "one day above the sky, a thousand years in the world", in the past ten years, the general trend of the world can be described as earth-shaking.

After the Chibi War, Liu Bei accepted the proposition of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, and decisively led the army to cross the river to the south to seize the strategic place in the south of Jingzhou, the four counties of Jingnan, laying the foundation for his own development in Jingzhou. In 211 A.D. (the sixteenth year of Jian'an), Liu Bei took Zhang Song as the internal response of Yizhou, invaded Yizhou, defeated Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, took the land of Liangchuan, and laid the foundation of Shu Han, which is one of the three parts of the world. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), Liu Bei led the army to defeat Cao Cao's southern expeditionary army, seized Hanzhong, a strategic place in Liangchuan, and won a brilliant victory in the battle of Hanzhong. Liu Bei's group reached its heyday militarily.

However, as the saying goes, the extremes of things must be reversed, otherwise the extremes will come. Just when everyone in Liu Bei's group was indulging in the joy of seizing Hanzhong, a letter from Jingzhou made our Zhuge father not happy at all.

Chengdu City, in Zhuge Mansion.

"Second brother, what's wrong? So anxious to send someone to call me? I'm drinking with Qin Mi and Jian Yong! Zhuge Jun strode in, with a reluctant face.

"When? Still drinking, I think you're so confused! Father Zhuge looked displeased and reprimanded.

Zhuge Jun is a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that his brother was in a bad mood, so he immediately changed his expression of concern, and cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Quarreled with my sister-in-law? Slept in the study again last night? ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately blushed, and it was no secret that Zhuge Dad was afraid of his wife in Yizhou. "Go, go, the boss is not a small person, can you have a positive shape? I don't touch my house every day, and I mix with that Western prostitute, and next time my brother and sister kick you out again, I don't care. "Brother Zhuge is a touch, it's really difficult to be a brother!

When Zhuge Jun heard this, he hurriedly flattered: "Second brother, look at you, isn't my brother joking with you!" If there is anything you ask, my brother will obey it. ”

"Oops!" Father Zhuge remembered that he still hadn't said anything serious, "Bastard, I was stunned by you!" I almost forgot to get down to business. Look at this! As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhuge Jun.

Zhuge Jun took the letter, read it carefully, and his face suddenly darkened, "Second brother, General Guan is doing things like this, Jingzhou is in danger!" ”

"Well, who's to say it isn't? Guan Yu has always thought highly of himself and looks down on anyone! Now he categorically rejected Sun Quan's proposal, and humiliated Sun Quan in front of the Jiangdong envoy. This is completely treating the safety of Jingzhou as child's play! Father Zhuge was furious.

"Well, second brother, this matter will definitely anger Sun Quan, once the Sun Cao family joins forces, Jingzhou may not be owned by the lord!" Zhuge Jun looked worried.

"That's what I'm worried about! You see! Father Zhuge took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuge Jun.

"What is this?" Zhuge Jun took the letter and asked.

"It was sent by Zhan'er's secret guard! Cao Cao's envoy has arrived in Jianye! Father Zhuge calmed down and said.

After Zhuge Jun read the letter, his face became even more solemn, "Second brother, you can't wait any longer!" We must act now! Please ask the lord to recall Guan Yu, send another senior to govern Jingzhou, and at the same time send an envoy to Jiangdong to explain to Sun Quan, otherwise, it will be too late! ”

When Father Zhuge heard this, he stood up and walked back and forth in the house.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhuge was puzzled.

Father Zhuge stopped, and said loudly: "The crux of the problem is this, Guan Yu and the lord are brothers and brothers, not comparable to you and me." I'm afraid that even if I try to persuade the lord, the lord may not listen to me. ”

"Can't you just sit back and watch Guan Yu, a stubborn donkey, destroy Jingzhou?" Zhuge was anxious when he heard this.

Father Zhuge frowned, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Maybe the matter is not as serious as we think." ”

When Zhuge Jun heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" A Guan Yu actually made you afraid of this? ”

"Presumptuous! How to speak? Father Zhuge scolded angrily.

Zhuge sat down weakly, "What does Zhan'er think?" ”

Hearing this, Father Zhuge turned his head and said, "Zhan'er, let's choose a capable person to replace Guan Yu as soon as possible no matter what!" If it's too late, it will change! ”

"This kid is with me! But it's easy to say, but if you think about it, it's not easy! Not to mention that it is difficult to find a general who can be as independent as Guan Yu, even if there is, who is willing to risk offending Guan Yu to go to Jingzhou to take up his post? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this person dares, who has the ability to convince the lord? Ay! It's hard, it's hard! Zhuge Jun shook his head again and again.

Father Zhuge thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I think of a person, maybe I can let him give it a try!" ”

At noon the next day, Zhuge Dad was playing chess with Zhuge in the pavilion, and the door outside came to report that Liu Bei's car had arrived at the door. Brother Zhuge hurriedly got up and went to greet him outside the mansion.

Outside Zhuge Mansion, Liu Bei got out of the car and saw the Zhuge brothers coming out, and said with a smile: "Be prepared to take the liberty of disturbing, how dare you dare to drive the military division to greet you in person!" ”

Father Zhuge hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "The lord came to the cold house in person, how dare Liang slack!" ”

The politeness of these two guys is really unbearable, if Young Master Zhuge is here, they will definitely give them a health ball.

The two entered the house hand in hand, accompanied by Zhuge Jun. The three of them arrived at the main hall and sat down in turn.

After Liu Bei sat down, he spoke first: "Military advisor, Xiaozhi came to my house yesterday to talk to me about Jingzhou, and he was quite worried. Originally, there was a second brother sitting in Jingzhou, so I wasn't worried. But recently, Jingzhou's ears and eyes came to report, saying that the second brother rejected Sun Quan's proposal to marry, and humiliated Sun Quan in front of the Jiangdong envoy. After hearing the news, Bei was restless for the past few days, deeply afraid that Jingzhou would lose. What do the military advisors think about this? ”

Father Zhuge shook the feather fan lightly and replied with a smile: "General Guan is famous and intelligent, and he is not comparable to ordinary generals. The general is sitting in Jingzhou, and Liang Benben is still relieved. ”

When Liu Bei heard Daddy Zhuge say this, he was immediately relieved, and he just wanted to nod, but he didn't want Daddy Zhuge to change his words, "However, General Guan has been fighting all his life, and now he is old, but he is still guarding the frontier and can't reunite with his family and share his family." People often say, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, the old general with an old body to fight in all directions, in case of failure, how can the lord bear it? ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Liu Bei listened, Father Zhuge continued: "Now, General Guan refuses to marry Jiangdong, and Sun Quan must be angry. Liang also received news that Cao Cao's envoy had arrived in Jianye. If Cao Sun joins forces, although General Guan's sword is not old, can he protect Jingzhou? ”

Father Zhuge was actually very euphemistic, but Liu Bei understood it, after all, he was an old oilman who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years. Liu Bei's eyebrows tightened, he thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!" I understand what the military advisor means! It's time for the second brother to come back, so I'll arrange it. ”

When Zhuge heard this, he was overjoyed, he didn't expect that this time the lobbying of Liu Bei to replace Guan Yu would be so smooth. "What about Jingzhou?" This is another issue that Daddy Zhuge is concerned about.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Don't worry, the candidate to replace the second brother has already been thought of!" Then he laughed and got up and left.

Looking at Liu Bei's obscene smile, Father Zhuge had a sense of foreboding.
