"I can't imagine that Zhuge Liang's real purpose is this, although I don't want to hand over these people to Liu Bei, but it is also useless for these barbarians to stay. And if I get that Jiangling, whether it is to occupy its land or the population in it, it is far greater than what I have to pay, then how can Liu Bei be such a loss-making deal? ”

After Zhuge Liang left, Wei Tao asked with some doubts.

"Since the lord thinks that we have taken advantage, why shouldn't we go down?"

Jia Xu didn't answer, but asked with a smile.

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I don't have a reason to let it go. ”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, this is the case, anyway, Wei Tao just doesn't want to be calculated so easily.

"What the lord said is right, then Liu Bei's plan is probably to make the lord the target of the public. The lord originally occupied Xiangyang, which made people look at it, and now if he occupies Jiangling again, then Cao Cao and Sun Quan may not be able to sleep peacefully. ”

The person who answered this was not Zhou Yu, but I saw a person walking in from outside the hall, with a handsome demeanor and extraordinary demeanor.

"Although our army originally had an agreement with Sun Quan, it was just a blank slate, and as for Cao Cao, it was a battle not long ago. If the lord was to win a crushing victory in a big battle with Liu Bei, then neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan would move at this time. But if the lord is effortless to take Jiangling, wouldn't he want to unify Jingzhou with the power of the lord? How could Cao Cao and Sun Quan sit idly by? As long as it is a word at this time, it can be allied with it, and the three parties will work together at that time. Our army is in a dilemma. ”

"Gong Jin! What are you doing here? ”

The person who came was none other than someone else. It was Zhou Yu. Seeing Zhou Yu coming, Wei Tao was also quite happy.

After talking to Wei Tao for a few words, Wei Tao remembered what Zhou Yu said, and then looked at Jia Xu, but he was not the slightest surprised to see him, obviously thinking of this matter.

"I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to go around such a big circle, and it was for this reason, not only to enhance Liu Bei's strength. It is even more difficult for our army, but since Gong Jin and Wen He know about this, how should they deal with it? It can't be to kill those barbarians, and then fight Jiangling with Liu Bei, right? ”

Wei Tao asked very simply and directly, he is not the kind of person who immediately changes his decision not to do anything after knowing the possible results.

Indeed, speaking of which, it is very likely that a three-way encirclement will happen, but if it is because of this, it is even more foolish to dare not seek benefits for yourself.

Wei Tao didn't want to do such a stupid thing.

"If that's the case. I might as well take Jiangling first, even if Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan join forces. But after all, they can't be close to each other, and even if they join forces, I still have a chance to fight with them. When the time comes, victory or defeat may not be known! ”

When he said this, Wei Tao was full of confidence, even if it was really a battle, what was there to fear?

Zhou Yu and Jia Xu both nodded, if they didn't have this bearing, how could they be the heroes of one side?

"Lord, this time I came in a hurry, it was precisely because I received the news that Zhuge Liang came to see the lord, that I thought of what Zhuge Liang wanted, and I hurried to remind the lord. I have to say that Zhuge Liang does have some ability, and this kind of ability to look at the overall situation is really rare. ”

At this moment, Zhou Yu spoke again, since he was already in a hurry, Zhou Yu naturally did not think about this matter.

"Although Liu Bei is calculating, how can the lord not break the situation? I am here to ask the lord to meet the conditions of the Wuxi barbarians, of course, if it is impossible to be sure that people like Shamoke are sincere in submission, then it is better to kill them directly. ”

Zhou Yu said very coldly, but neither Wei Tao nor Jia Xu was moved.

If it weren't for Wei Tao's strong army, how could Shamoke agree to abandon the Wuxi barbarians and join the Han people, and this is basically just a verbal statement, even Wei Tao is not sure that none of them will regret it.

For these aliens, it is natural to kill and kill.

Of course, the Wuxi barbarians were the ones who surrendered to Wei Tao after all, and Wei Tao couldn't kill them completely by heart, so Wei Tao immediately asked.

"Since you know that the three parties may have an alliance, I don't know what Gong Jin's plan is?"

"Lord, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will feel that our side is a threat precisely because the lord is strong, and the lord can easily get Jiangling, they naturally can't tolerate it."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and told what he was planning.

"In that case, what if the lord is at war with Liu Bei? Could it be that Cao Cao and Sun Quan will really help Liu Bei at this time? Even if they don't fight each other, they will be watching from the wall, and when the time comes, they will only deal with Liu Bei and the princes all the way, and then let people guard against Cao Cao and Sun Quan, wouldn't the situation of the lord be relatively favorable? ”

Wei Tao pondered slightly, and then found that this was indeed the case.

Of course, if Liu Bei is really defeated by Wei Tao at that time, it is unknown whether Cao Cao and Sun Quan will send troops immediately, but it is better than facing three powerful princes at the same time.

The Yang plot used by Zhuge Liang used Jiangling as a bait, wanting to promote the alliance of the princes of the Three Roads, Zhou Yu also used the Yang scheme, and now he is at war with him, it depends on whether you really want to help Liu Bei at all costs.

The two sides set up carriages and horses to fight.

"Good! Then take advantage of Gongjin's strategy. Someone came, and Zhuge Liang was found. ”

Deciding in his heart, Wei Tao didn't hesitate much, Wei Tao could believe that Cao Cao and Sun Quan must be paying attention to him at this time, and Liu Bei would even take the initiative to send out the news, no matter how much he delayed, I am afraid it would not have much effect.

In that case, it is better to take action directly.

Zhuge Liang arrived soon, but there was a strange look on his face that could not be concealed, obviously, for being invited so soon, even with Zhuge Liang's wisdom, he couldn't guess for a while.

"I don't know why the general invited Liang to come? Could it be that the general is already willing to hand over the Wuxi clan to our army? ”

Zhuge Liang's words were originally just a casual remark, but Wei Tao nodded and said directly.

"That's right, if Xuande Gong can give up Jiangling, then what if he will hand over all the Wuxi barbarians to you? But with the ears of a barbarian, am I still afraid that they will be in turmoil? ”

Rao is Zhuge Liang is full of wisdom, and he didn't expect Wei Tao to change so much, and he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to respond on the spot.

According to Zhuge Liang's thoughts, even if Wei Tao is a resourceful person to make up his mind, it will take a few days to make up his mind, but now it is a little beyond Zhuge Liang's expectations.

But Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang after all, and he is a person of extraordinary wisdom, and his gaze just seems to be swept casually, which is to focus his attention on Zhou Yu.

I hadn't seen Zhou Yu on the side before, but now that Zhou Yu was there, Zhuge Liang immediately judged that Zhou Yu was probably the key person, and at the moment he seemed to be unintentionally raising his hand to Zhou Yu and asking.

"This son looks like he has a powerful weapon, I don't know who this one is under the command of the general?"

"In the next week, Gongjin, I have seen Kong Ming, I heard that Kong Ming is Mr. Shuijing's protégé, and his wisdom can be described as outstanding.

Zhou Yu smiled and didn't mean to hide it, and directly reported his name, after all, as long as there is a heart, it is very easy to find out.

"It turned out to be the famous Mei Zhoulang."

Compared with history, Zhou Yu's reputation is not inferior in the slightest, and Zhuge Liang knows his person when he hears it.

At the same time, I also know in my heart that in comparison, Zhou Yu can be said to be the most trusted by Wei Tao, and only what Zhou Yu said can make Wei Tao so determined.

But for the first time, Zhuge Liang, who didn't know how, was a little bottomless in his heart.

It's not a feeling or something, but Zhuge Liang can think that since Wei Tao dares to agree, and since Zhou Yu dares to persuade Wei Tao to agree, then is there no countermeasure?

Yang conspiracy is the most unsolvable strategy, but it is also the most solvable strategy.

Zhuge Liang had no confidence in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he just nodded and said to Wei Tao.

"In that case, how about asking the general to hand over the Wuxi barbarians to me and take them away? My lord is also a well-known person in the world, and I guess the general can still believe it. ”

"Huh...... I naturally still trust Xuande Gong's faithfulness, but Kong Ming should know that some people are not suitable for long-distance travel, and I am afraid that this part of the people will not be able to return it. ”

Zhuge Liang can naturally understand this, but the biggest key to Zhuge Liang's strategy is not the Wuxi barbarians, but to unite Cao Cao and Sun Quan, so naturally he will not care about this little thing.

The two sides reached an agreement, and Wei Tao immediately asked Zhuge Liang to take the people away, I have to say that Zhuge Liang was prepared for a long time, and he had already ordered people to wait outside Xiangyang City, led by a veteran.

It's a pity that even Wei Tao can't know whether the veteran is the old and strong Huang Hansheng, and at this time, even if he is preparing to start a war against Liu Bei, it is impossible to launch any attack to let them leave safely.

However, only on the second day, Wei Tao gave an order to the whole army to send troops to Jiangling.

The Jiangling garrison has long had the intention of surrendering, but no one has come before, and now when he sees Wei Tao's arrival, where is there any reason to hesitate, and he immediately surrenders the city.

It's just that after taking Jiangling, Wei Tao did not stop the army and let the army enter Jiangling to rest, but after ordering someone to take over Jiangling, the army went directly to Changsha, and it was clearly announced that he was going to attack Liu Bei.

Especially Zhuge Liang, who was about to lobby Cao Cao and Sun Quan, heard this, and couldn't help but let go of his hand and let the feather fan in his hand fall to the ground, and only sighed slightly after a while.

"I see, Zhou Gongjin really lives up to the world's reputation!" (To be continued......)
