Liu Bei was a little stunned, and asked for a while: "Military Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, the minister is not too sure, but the minister feels that Liu Jing's construction of a military city on the Lishui River is just a strategy for him." ”

"Strategy?" Liu Bei was even more confused, "What kind of strategy, can the military advisor make it clear." ”

"Weichen thought about it on the road, the Han army has always started war after spring ploughing, why is it so early this time? Weichen thought of a possibility, perhaps Liu Jing's purpose in building momentum in Cangwu County was to transfer the state army north to Cangwu County and Luling County, so that Nanhai County and Panyu City would be empty. ”

Liu Bei understood a little, and he said: "What does the military advisor mean is that Liu Jing is actually going to attack Nanhai County, or directly attack Panyu City?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, "I suspect that the real main force of the Han army will come by sea. ”

"By sea!"

Liu Bei was stunned, and then he shook his head again and again: "Impossible!" The assumption of the military division is too absurd, how could the Han army come by sea, absolutely impossible! ”

"Weichen originally thought it was impossible, but when I thought of the Han army seizing Huiji County from the sea, I felt that everything was possible, of course the warships of the Han army could not enter the deep sea, but if the Han army walked along the coastline, their warships would be able to withstand the wind and waves, and winter and spring are the seasons when the wind and waves are relatively small, if the Han warships come in from Lingdingyang and reach Panyu City, and our army is pinned down in the north, Panyu City will be dangerous."

Liu Bei sat down slowly, his heart was also a little chaotic, if it was really as Zhuge Liang said, the Han army came from the sea outside Panyu, it would be a disaster, but if he wanted to obey Zhuge Liang's construction and withdraw Zhang Fei's army from Luling County, it would be equivalent to giving up Luling County to the Han army, and he couldn't do it, he was flustered, and he had no idea for a while.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was a little worried in his heart, so he bowed down and said: "The lord will think about it first, and the wechen will come to meet the lord in a day or two, and the wechen will leave first!" ”

Zhuge Liang slowly retreated, but Liu Bei's mood was not at slight, he walked to the window with his hands in his hands, looking at the white clouds in the sky.

It is said that it has snowed heavily in the north of Cangwu County, but Panyu City is still hot, this heat affects his thinking, makes him bored, he planned to march into Jian'an County after the beginning of spring, but the Han army came first, launched an offensive against Cangwu County, is Liu Jing really just a momentum?

At this time, Liu Bei felt something, and when he turned around, he saw Bo Matan, the master of the bookkeeper, standing aside, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, Liu Bei's heart moved, so he sat back in his seat and asked Ma Tan: "Lord Bo also heard the analysis of the military advisor just now, do you think the military advisor is right?" ”

Ma Jian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Wei Chen thinks that the military advisor's analysis of the militia is correct, and letting the militia fight against the Han army will only be affected."

Before Ma Jian finished speaking, Liu Bei interrupted him a little impatiently, "I'm not talking about the militia group, I'm talking about the Han army attacking from the waterway, do you think it's possible?" ”

"This Weichen doesn't dare to say anything."

"That's it, I'm just listening."

"Yes! Wechen noticed the tone of the military advisor, the military advisor first said, he was not too sure, and then said, 'maybe, maybe', etc., these are hypothetical words, indicating that the military advisor is just guessing, he really can't guarantee that the Han army will attack from the sea, but Wechen knows that the Han army's construction of the military city in Lishui is really happening, on the one hand, it is hypothetical, on the other hand, it is real, how does the main guild choose? ”

Liu Bei nodded and praised: "You said well, your thinking is clear, the context is clear, you continue to speak." ”

Ma Tan pondered for a moment and said: "Weichen thinks that even if it is possible for the Han army to attack from the sea, if the lord adopts the plan of the military division and withdraws the army of Luling County to Panyu, then what will Luling County do?" Wei Yan's 20,000 troops will go south, capture Luling County, and then turn around to attack Cangwu County, General Guan in the front and back under the attack, not only can not hold Guangxin County, I am afraid there will be a worry about life, once Cangwu County is lost, the Han army can also kill Panyu by land, under the siege of tens of thousands of Han troops, how long does the lord think Panyu City can hold on? ”

Ma Tan's analysis was extremely thorough, which made Liu Bei's thinking clear all of a sudden, Ma Jian was right, he couldn't give up the real crisis because of a hypothesis, no matter what, he couldn't lose Cangwu County, thinking of this, Liu Bei praised Ma Tan: "You often also have the talent of a military advisor." ”

Ma Jian hurriedly said modestly: "Thanks to the lord's praise, Weichen is ashamed, but Weichen still has a word to remind the lord." ”

"Whatever you say, just say it!"

"Weichen reminded the lord that if you send an army to save Cangwu, it is best not to let the military division lead the troops."

"Why is that?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"Has the lord forgotten the defeat of Yuzhang?"

Ma Yan's words immediately reminded Liu Bei, he later learned that Guan Yu and the military adviser did not have a good relationship, the two had a dispute in Yuzhang, if the military advisor was asked to save Cangwu, I am afraid that there would be a conflict between them, Liu Bei immediately said: "You reminded me very well, I will not make the same mistakes as before, you can go and bring General Chen to see me." ”

Liu Bei made up his mind, he was no longer swayed by Zhuge Liang's speculation, he decided to implement his established strategy, armed with 3,000 people, and then rushed to Guangxin County with 5,000 troops to support Guan Yu, with the support of these 8,000 troops, I believe that Guan Yu can divide his troops to destroy the Han army's plan to build a city.

．．．．．．．

Zhuge Liang returned to his house, walked to the steps, and happened to meet his son Zhuge Zhan coming out of the house, Zhuge Zhan was originally the son of his brother Zhuge Jin, because Zhuge Liang had no children under his knees, Zhuge Jin passed his son to his brother, Zhuge Zhan was only eight years old, very smart and studious, and in good health, and quickly adapted to the hot climate of Jiaozhou.

Zhuge Zhan met his father head-on, and he hurriedly bowed down to salute, "The child sees his father!" ”

Zhuge Liang liked this stepson very much, he smiled and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"When the child heard that there was a bookstore in Jiaozhou City, she wanted to go and see it, and the mother agreed to let the child go."

"Then go ahead! Go early and come back early. ”

"The child understands!" Zhuge Zhan gave a salute and walked quickly.

At this time, the house had already received the news of the master's return, and his wife Huang Yueying hurriedly came out to greet her, but her daughter Zhuge Guo ran in front, "Daddy is back!" ”

Zhuge Guo is fourteen years old, almost at the age of marriage, tall and beautiful, but she is still childlike, ran up and hugged her father's arm and said, "What gift did Daddy bring me?" ”

Zhuge Liang loved this baby girl, but he couldn't help her, so he knocked on her head and scolded her with a smile: "Such a big girl, still thinking about gifts, are you ashamed?" ”

Zhuge Guo pouted and said: "Daddy brings me gifts every time, but this time I obviously forgot about it, but he said that his daughter was wrong." ”

Zhuge Liang was helpless, so he had to take out a string of pearl necklaces from his arms, handed it to her, and said: "This is bought for you in Beihai County, the real good sea pearls, be satisfied!" ”

Zhuge Guo was overjoyed, snatched Haizhu, turned around and ran towards the house, and heard her shouting from afar: "Little brother, Daddy bought me a gift, you lost." ”

Zhuge Liang knew that the two of them had made a bet, he shook his head helplessly, he was about to tell his daughter, his brother had gone out, but his daughter had run away.

At this time, Huang Yueying stepped forward and complained with a smile: "Look at you! He also said that his daughter can't grow up, but she spoils her, can she grow up? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, "I hope Guo'er never grows up." ”

Zhuge Liang walked into the inner hall, Huang Yueying took off her coat for her husband and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I received two letters, one is a letter from my eldest brother to my husband, and the other is a letter from Princess Han to me, which is really a bit strange." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, "Princess Han sent you a letter?" ”

"Yes! We haven't corresponded for almost six years, and this time she suddenly wrote a letter, and I was really a little confused. ”

"What did she say in the letter?"

"It's just to talk about some short things in the family, saying that she gave birth to another daughter, the family has a large population, and she is busy all day long, if it is all among women, the husband will not be interested."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Maybe she remembered your old friend again, did you reply?" ”

"Not yet! If my husband doesn't object, I'll write back to her. ”

"Why don't you go back! Also, give me my brother's letter. ”

Zhuge Liang took the letter from the eldest brother Zhuge Jin and came to the study, Zhuge Liang knew that the eldest brother surrendered to the Han Kingdom and was named Yuzhang Taishou by Liu Jing.

Zhuge Liang is a staunch pro-Han faction, he resolutely opposed Liu Bei and Cao Cao to establish an alliance, and in the end, under his opposition, Zhong Xuan went back for nothing, Zhuge Liang actually did not dislike Liu Jing, on the contrary, he deeply admired Liu Jing's single-minded revival of the Han Dynasty, and the disagreement between him and Liu Jing was the question of who would revive the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang hoped that the emperor's uncle Liu Bei would revive the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Bei lived in the border of Jiaozhou, Zhuge Liang still refused to give up his ideals, he designed a plan for Liu Bei to develop to the southeast, that is, to capture Jian'an County first, then capture Linhai County, and then take advantage of Jiangdong when the mountains are declining, in one fell swoop to seize Huiji County and even the entire Jiangdong, so that they can take Jiangdong as the foundation, and after 20 years of hard work, finally defeat Cao Cao and face off with the Han State.

But it can only be said that the ideal is very ambitious, but the reality is very cruel, not waiting for them to send troops to Jian'an County, Liu Jing attacked Jiangdong, so that their ideals were broken, Zhuge Liang also suffered a big blow, now he only thinks about how to keep Jiaozhou, as for the long-term development, can only defeat the Han army later.

Zhuge Liang opened his brother's letter, but before he could take a closer look, his wife's voice came from outside the door, "Husband, can I come in?" ”

"Please come in!"

Huang Yueying walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea, she put the ginseng tea on the table, and said to her husband: "I heard a piece of news just now, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"What's the news?" Zhuge Liang took a sip of the tea bowl and asked a little casually.

"I heard that Uncle Huang sent General Chen to lead 7,000 troops to Cangwu County."

"What!"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, his hand was loosened, and the tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
