"My lord, this time it's a mistake for Liang, and I ask the lord to punish him."

After returning to Changsha, Zhuge Liang immediately came to ask Liu Bei for guilt.

"Why should Kong Ming be like this, that general has experienced a hundred battles and is assisted by his ministers, Kong Ming can do this is already wonderful. It was not stable even if we took Gangneung, but instead dispersed the already small number of troops. Kong Ming's ability to exchange it for the Wuxi Barbarians was already a great achievement. ”

Liu Bei naturally couldn't punish Zhuge Liang, not to mention that as he said, Zhuge Liang didn't make a big mistake from beginning to end this time, just Zhuge Liang was able to face Wei Tao without falling behind, which was enough to make him feel overjoyed.

After all, Wei Tao's reputation was punched out, and Liu Bei had personally experienced Wei Tao's strength, and now although Zhuge Liang could not weaken and calculate Wei Tao, he did not let Wei Tao take any advantage.

In this way, it has been able to make Liu Bei respectfully obey his words.

"What's more, compared with the field battle between the two armies, after occupying Changsha, waiting for Wei Tao to attack is also an advantage, and Kong Ming's strategy is not completely broken by Wei Tao, it is still Wei Tao who was forced by Kong Ming."

Liu Bei is not an unlearned and unskilled person, so he can naturally know the overall situation now, and after several plans, he has already believed in Zhuge Liang's ability.

Although Liang was also prepared for this, he didn't expect that Wei Tao would have such a decision, and after getting Jiangling, he still immediately raised troops to attack Changsha, so that no matter whether he was sincere or not, I am afraid that the original plan of the three-way encirclement is already impossible. Ryo had done nothing to deal with it. ”

Zhuge Liang is not the kind of person who has been entangled in it, knowing that Liu Bei did not mean to blame, he quickly regained his calm. Then he said slowly.

"Wei Tao will come. However, there are still a few days to go. But now that our army is at war, we can't let Cao Cao and Sun Quan watch from the sidelines. The lord can send an envoy to Cao Cao, saying that our army is willing to rule the river with him, although Cao Cao knows the meaning of our army. But Cao Cao and Sun Quan have a great enmity, and when Wei Tao and our army fight, he will definitely send troops to attack Sun Quan. Although the chaos in Jingzhou is now widespread, it is only a two-by-two battle, as long as our army can defeat Wei Tao. Then it will be possible to seize the whole of Jingzhou, and then the great cause of the lord will be profitable! ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Liu Bei's eyes light up, and he immediately nodded and said.

"Thanks to Kong Ming's reminder, I don't know if Kong Ming thinks there is anyone in our army who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

"Only Fa Xiaozhi can take on this responsibility."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's recommendation, Liu Bei nodded even more, Fa Xiaozhi is Yizhou Fazheng, and after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he was thrown under Liu Bei, and he can almost be said to be his first strategist.

And although Zhuge Liang is new to the city, his relationship with Fazheng is very good, and this time it is not a prevarication. But now under Liu Bei's command, in addition to Zhuge Liang, I am afraid that Fa Zheng can take on this responsibility.

But Zhuge Liang was already very high-profile before, and he did it again. I'm afraid that I will really be jealous of people, and this credit will naturally be given to Fazheng.

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhou Yu also gave Wei Tao a proposal to let Wei Tao provoke the dispute between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

"My lord, in order to prevent Cao Cao and Sun Quan from attacking our army together, our army had to quickly declare war with Liu Bei, but it would be inappropriate to let the two of them threaten our army in the rear army like this, and ask the lord to send someone to lobby Sun Quan. Sun Quan has always wanted to capture Jing Yang and win more than his brother, and now that our army is at war with Liu Bei, and he has defeated Cao Cao, he will definitely not hesitate. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao nodded directly, and Wei Tao naturally would not refuse anything that could relieve the pressure on his rear.

"Why don't you let Wen He go on this matter?"

After Wei Tao thought about it slightly, he couldn't help but look at Jia Xu, it was not that there was no one under Wei Tao's command, but that most of the strategists were now in the rear to raise food for Wei Tao to guard the overall situation, and after Zhou Yu came, there was a lack of manpower in the rear.

If you wait for the arrival of the rear ministers, I don't know how long you will have to wait.

Now the people who can handle Wei Tao next to him are Jia Xu and Zhou Yu.

"Lord, Wen He and I should help the lord to deal with Liu Bei, this battle can be won and not defeated, otherwise the lord will first think about peace and don't know how long it will be delayed, if so, why should the lord do this in person?"

Zhou Yu had already discussed with Jia Xu, and immediately said so.

"Lord, there are many outstanding people in Jingzhou, if the lord approves, I can recommend a talent for the lord."

"Oh?"

Wei Tao was slightly puzzled, but at the same time, he was even more pleased, he could be recommended by Zhou Yu, and his talent must be extraordinary.

"Xiangyang Ma Liang, Ma Jichang. The five brothers of the Ma family in Xiangyang are all famous, among which Ma Liang is the leader, and the people in Jingzhou all say: Ma's five constants, the white eyebrows are the best, and the one who speaks is Ma Liang. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's smile, Wei Tao also thought about it.

Of course, Wei Tao didn't think of Ma Liang, but Ma Liang's younger brother Ma Yan, after all, the 'tears and slashing Ma Tan' in history are too famous.

Now, the cognition of the previous life does not have much meaning for Wei Tao, not to mention that history has changed, that is, the heroes known to Wei Tao have all been born one after another, each choosing the master, and the rest of the people are also determined people, and it is easy to change their hearts.

However, for some celebrities, they still know that at least if Ma Jian does not personally command, his strategy is not bad, and since Ma Liang is more famous, it is naturally needless to say.

"Good. Since this is the case, then ask Gong Jin to send it by letter, if there are other talents in the Ma family who are willing to come out, they can be appointed. ”

"No."

Zhou Yu naturally didn't know that Wei Tao had thought of something very far away in his mind for a moment, so he just nodded slightly, and then turned the topic to the current war.

"Lord, Xiangyang and Jiangling are all to be garrisoned, and now our army's strength is already insufficient, at most similar to Liu Bei's army, with the advantage of Changsha to defend the city, I am afraid that this battle is not easy to deal with."

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao couldn't help frowning slightly, at this time, Zhou Yu naturally said this not to suppress his morale, but the truth was the case.

"I don't know what Gong Jin means?"

"In this war, the two armies are fighting, and it is not a momentary gain, and I dare to ask the lord not to move at a moment. Our army wants to fight with Liu Bei, Liu Bei also wants to fight with our army, so as to respond to all changes, if Zhuge Liang dares to be a plot, Wen He and I will definitely break it for the lord, so that the lord can win by this. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao smiled even more, since this is the case, Wei Tao naturally will not refuse, after all, the continuous war also makes Wei Tao a little tired, and the siege war is indeed the big battle that Wei Tao is most unwilling to fight.

On the other hand, the envoys sent by Wei Tao and Liu Bei also saw Sun Quan and Cao Cao respectively, and after some explanation, both Sun Quan and Cao Cao understood that if they didn't fight, I am afraid that Wei Tao and Liu Bei would not really fight.

In addition, Cao Cao and Sun Quan also have grievances, and they originally wanted to defeat each other, but when they were said like this, they finally couldn't hold back, although they didn't send troops immediately, but they dispatched troops frequently.

The battle of Jingzhou was about to break out, and the situation on all sides became even more tense.

At this time, Wei Tao had already led the army to the city of Changsha and rested for a day, Liu Bei turned a deaf ear, and did not send someone to attack.

In the face of Liu Bei being so calm, Wei Tao also felt a little embarrassed, but Wei Tao was Wei Tao after all, experienced in a hundred battles, and he also understood the way of war.

Responding to all changes with the same is not to hide in the camp, since the other party is doing this now, then Wei Tao will also challenge moderately to test how the other party is.

"Knock knock ......"

In the face of such a situation, Liu Bei also understands that it may not be how to win or lose for a while, but if he does not dare to respond to the war, then it may be possible to keep Changsha, but it is impossible to launch a counterattack later.

Liu Bei never wanted such a thing to happen, so he personally led the army to fight at the moment.

I saw Liu Bei taking the lead, and in addition to following Guan and Zhang, there was also Ma Chao, who had been defeated by Wei Tao, a veteran who had only met outside Xiangyang City not long ago.

"Liu Xuande, you and I have met again."

As soon as Wei Tao saw Liu Bei in this regard, there seemed to be a sigh in his words.

"In the past, after Jizhou, I originally thought that there was no time to fight against Xuande Gong, after all, I was in the north, and Xuande Gong was Yuan Shao in the south, I didn't expect the world to change like this, and now Xuande is actually here to compete with me."

Wei Tao's exclamation is naturally not a real exclamation, but just a method of agitation.

But even though Liu Bei knew this, even though Liu Bei was the most forbearing, he still couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, after all, the days of sending people around the fence in the past were not glorious, and he didn't want to be mentioned all the time.

"General, in the past, our brothers were defeated by the general, but the general's words are not in anyone's eyes?"

"No one in sight?"

Hearing Liu Bei's response, Wei Tao suddenly sneered slightly, and Liu Bei's words gave Wei Tao a target.

"Although I don't want to say it explicitly, but really, including Xuande Gong, who is not my defeat?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was speechless for a while, even if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and other generals glared at Wei Tao angrily, but this matter was a fact, they couldn't refute it.

But Wei Tao said this, and he also angered someone, and saw that a veteran who had been standing quietly beside Liu Bei galloped out, rushed to the front of the battle, and let out a loud drink!

"I am Changsha Huang Zhong, how could I have been defeated by the general? I have also heard of the general's martial arts, and now I just want to ask the general for advice, I don't know if the general dares to respond! (To be continued......)
