Liu Bei already had a headache when he learned that Zhou Yu was going to take Nanjun, and at this time, Nan Ye stepped in again, which made him head and two. Zhuge Liang had told Liu Bei how to deal with Zhou Yu before, but he didn't teach him how to deal with Nan Ye, so he could only be anxious at this time.

Zhou Yu is not as good as Liu Bei, he listened to Nanye's reason for taking Nanjun just to weaken Cao Cao's strength and said: "The national teacher doesn't have to worry about Nanjun being owned by Cao Cao for a long time, if I send troops to Nanjun, I can get it at my fingertips." ”

Hearing this, Nan Ye shook his head and said, "Cao Cao occupies the land of the Eight Prefectures, why should Gong Jin be obsessed with Nanjun?" Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, and the defense of various places was lax, why don't we split up and attack in three ways and do our best to expand the results of the battle? In my opinion, Gong Jin should return to the north to take the land of Xuzhou, Xuande Gong should go north to take Xiangyang, and I will go north to take Nanjun. ”

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were both scheming, and as soon as Nan Ye opened his mouth, they guessed his strategic intentions. Nanye's roots are in Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou is located in the southernmost part of Dahan. If Nan Ye wants to send troops north to fight Cao Cao for the world, there are only three ways to go. The first is to take the west road into Yizhou and enter Chang'an through Hanzhong, the second is to take the east road through Yangzhou to enter Xuzhou, and the third is to take the middle road through Jingzhou to enter Luoyang and Xuchang.

Among these three roads, Liu Zhang guarded Yizhou on the west road, and Sun Quan guarded Yangzhou on the east road, but Jingzhou in the middle road was lost by Liu Biao and gained by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's defeat was a good opportunity to use troops. As long as Nanye gets Nanjun and then goes north to Nanyang, he can go directly to the division, and the strategic space will be greatly expanded.

Of course, the path pointed out by Nanye for Liu Bei and Zhou Yu is also good, after Liu Bei goes north to Xiangyang, he can also enter Sili and Yuzhou, and Zhou Yu can not only occupy the entire territory of Xuzhou when he goes north to Xuzhou, but also wave his army to Qingzhou and Yanzhou. But the key to the problem is not whether Nan Ye's strategy is good or not, but that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu both have their own strategic goals.

Zhuge Liang's strategic goal is to occupy Jingzhou's entry into Yizhou and Cao Cao's and Sun Quan's success, and Zhou Yu's strategic goal is to protect Yangzhou's entry into Yizhou and Cao Cao's division of the world. They invariably ignored Nan Ye's existence, just because Nan Ye had never sent troops to fight for land with the princes.

At this moment, Nan Ye wants to take Nanjun, which is no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Nanjun is a small place, and the strategic intent and appetite shown by Nan Ye are the key to their worries. The plan proposed by Nan Ye undoubtedly released a signal, that is, Nan Ye's national teacher is no longer the saint of the Great Dao who has no quarrel with the world, but a prince who wants to compete with Cao Cao for the world.

After Nan Ye's words came out, countless thoughts arose in the hearts of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. The policies they had formulated before for Nanye and Jiaozhou were obviously all outdated, and the plan of dividing the world into three and two was no longer realistic. Whether to obey Nan Ye's arrangement, change the original strategy and continue to ally with Nan Ye, or stick to his established strategy and turn his face with Nan Ye, these are all things that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang need to consider.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were shocked by Nan Ye's words, even Liu Bei and Lu Su were also frightened by Nan Ye. Both of them were extremely clear about the strategic deployment of their forces. Nan Ye's arrangement undoubtedly disrupted the deployment of the Sun and Liu families, but none of them could say that Nan Ye's arrangement was wrong. Because from the current point of view, Nan Ye's deployment is the most conducive to attacking Cao Cao. Liu Bei and Lu Su could not say: "Our goal is not to attack Cao Cao, but to occupy Jingzhou and thus Yizhou." ”

There was silence in Liu Bei's handsome tent, and a pin drop could be heard for a while. When Nan Ye saw this scene, he suddenly realized that he was reckless. The purpose of his visit was by no means to reveal his strategic intentions to Liu Bei and Zhou Yu, but simply wanted them not to waste their troops in Nanjun, but Nan Ye ignored the minds of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. With Nan Ye's words, the two of them had already seen through his strategic intentions.

Nan Ye wasn't sure if Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang would suddenly turn their faces because of the ambitions they had exposed, but he was ready to summon Bai Zhen. Nan Ye believes that with Bai Zhen, Dian Wei, and Zhou Cang, even the second generals Guan and Zhang in Liu Bei's camp will not be able to keep themselves, not to mention that Nan Ye still has a white elephant available.

The tension in the tent blurred the concept of time, maybe it was a long time, or maybe it was just a moment, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu sighed lightly almost at the same time, and then the two looked at each other, and they both saw the horror and struggle in each other's eyes.

Zhuge Liang preemptively asked Zhou Yu at this time: "What does the governor think the national teacher said?" ”

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang didn't make a move once or twice, and they were not fooled, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know what Mr. Kong Ming thinks?" ”

Zhuge Liang seemed to know that Zhou Yu had asked this, and said with a slight smile: "I thought the words of the national teacher were inappropriate!" ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to turn their faces immediately, and there was still room for discussion, Nan Ye asked, "What does Mr. Kong Ming think is wrong?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Before the national teacher arrived, my lord discussed with the governor, and the governor took Nanjun first, and if it didn't become my lord, I would take it." The national teacher was the last to enter the account, even if he had to go to take Nanjun, he should be ranked after us. How can you point us elsewhere in a few words, and take Nanjun first? What's more, the governor and my main soldiers and horses are already here, and they are a stone's throw away from Nanjun, where are the soldiers and horses of the national teacher? Even if we want to divide the troops to take Cao Cao's land, it should be my lord and the governor to take the nearby Nanjun, and the national division needs to transfer troops left and right, so it is better to go directly to Xiangyang and Xuzhou. ”

Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, and Lu Su were all stunned when they heard Zhuge Liang's words. Zhuge Liang is pretending to be confused, and he doesn't care about any follow-up strategic deployment at all, only talking about the matter of Nanjun in front of him. It was as if the strategy proposed by Nan Ye was not to better attack Cao Cao, but to fight for the right to attack Nanjun. What's more, Zhuge Liang doesn't care whether Xiangyang, Xuzhou and Nanye's territories are bordering or not, let Nanye take it, if Nanye agrees, he will naturally lose the ownership of Nanjun, if he doesn't agree, Zhuge Liang will say: "You don't go to take these two places yourself, why should I wait to get them?" ”

Nan Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Zhuge Liang's words. Fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu did not turn their faces, but they still had to fight for Nanjun. For Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, in addition to completing their established strategic deployment, fighting for Nanjun can also make Nanye's deployment unable to be completed, so no one is willing to give up.

Nan Ye has Wei Yan and Lu Xun as internal responses, but he is not afraid of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang robbing, and after thinking that the two of them are also determined to win Nanjun, Nan Ye said: "Mr. Kong Ming's words are also reasonable. Everything should be said on a first-come, first-served basis. Since both Xuande Gong and Gong Jin are ready to use troops against Nanjun, I will be ranked third. ”

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were also relieved to see that Nan Ye did not insist on his opinion, just as Nan Ye was afraid that they would turn their faces, why were they not afraid that Nan Ye would suddenly turn his face and cast a spell to serve the people in the tent. Zhou Yu understood that whether he took Nanjun or Liu Bei took Nanjun, he could block Nanye's way to the north, and it would not be so easy for Nanye to expand his territory to the north at that time. Either defeat Liu Zhang and defeat Zhang Lu, or tear up his face with one of Liu Bei and Sun Quan's allies, in short, you have to pay a lot of price.

Since the three families had discussed the order of taking Nanjun, Zhou Yu also got on the horse and said goodbye, so that he could go back and prepare to attack Nanjun first. When Nan Ye saw that Zhou Yu was leaving, he was about to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Nan Ye: "The national teacher will stay for the time being!" The strategy of dividing the troops to attack Cao is really a clever plan, and I want to persuade the lord to act according to the plan of the national teacher. ”

Nan Ye was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what Zhuge Liang was thinking, so he couldn't help but stare at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Then why is Mr. Kong Ming ...... talent?"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I'm just Zhou Gongjin." If there is no Gongjin to take the lead, it must take a lot of effort for the national teacher to win Nanjun. ”

Nan Ye was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Why did Mr. Kong Ming help me and harm Gongjin?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The national teacher and the lord of my family are close friends, but I have no friendship with Sun Quan, and the distance between relatives is self-evident. What's more, I waited for a trip to Jiangdong to be calculated by Zhou Gongjin, and now it is not too much to calculate him. This can be regarded as my repaying for the protection of the national teacher in Jiangdong, not to mention that I still have a reluctant request to the national teacher. ”

Nan Ye knew that Zhuge Liang was not so kind, and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, please speak up if you have something." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "When the national division gets Nanjun, can you lend me the soldiers in the county the arrows, and I can use the plan to occupy Xiangyang." ”

Nan Ye felt that Zhuge Liang's request was not excessive, so he nodded and agreed, and left. Liu Bei saw that there were no outsiders in the tent, so he grabbed Zhuge Liang and asked: "Now that I have a general, I have no place to stand, if I want to get the power of Nanjun and accommodate myself, the military advisor first asked Gongjin to take it, and then let the national teacher take it, where do I go if the city already belongs to someone else?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "At the beginning, I persuaded the lord to take Jingzhou, but the lord didn't listen, why is there nowhere to stand today?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Jingzhou was Liu Jingsheng's land before, and I couldn't bear to take it. Now it is the land of Cao Cao, and it doesn't hurt for me to take it. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "If only Zhou Yu goes to take Nanjun, I can make it return in vain and make the lord sit high in the city." But if the national teacher goes to take it, we can only give in, not fight. Unless the lord wants to be the enemy of the national teacher. ”

Liu Bei knew that he was also aware of Nan Ye's power, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The national teacher has helped me many times, if I don't have the national teacher, I would not be where I am today, how can I be an enemy?" It's just that Nanjun is lost, Jingzhou and Yizhou are ......"

Even if Liu Bei doesn't say it, Zhuge Liang can understand that his plan to divide the world is afraid that he will die. However, this is not because Zhuge Liang is not highly intelligent, but the plan can't catch up with the changes. Nan Ye no longer lurked and led the troops, which made all plans need to be recustomized.

Zhuge Liang could only comfort Liu Bei at this time: "Although the lord said that he could not get Nanjun and Jingzhou, but with the help of the national teacher, it was not difficult to get Xiangyang and Yuzhou." It can be said that if there is a loss, there must be a gain, and I will naturally help the lord to plan. ”
