Liu Bei had a closed-door soup, and early the next morning, he took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to Zhuge Liang's residence.

Since I met Shui Jing by chance, I learned that there was a great talent hidden in Longzhong, and I wanted to find a foothold in this world, and Liu Bei, who would replace the Han family in the future, was willing to let go of the opportunity to meet the great talent.

Accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei came to Zhuge Liang's house again.

Due to the closed-door soup the day before, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both holding back the fire in their stomachs.

When he arrived at the door, Zhang Fei stepped forward and slapped the door with a "bang, bang".

The door of the house was slapped by Zhang Fei, and the whole house seemed to be collapsed by him.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Zhang Fei patted for a while, and the voice of the child came from the house.

Hearing someone answering the door, Zhang Fei stopped slapping.

The door of the house opened, and the little boy poked his head out of the door, looked at Liu Bei and the others and said, "Why are you again?" Sir is still not there! ”

"Where the hell has your husband gone?" When he came here the day before, he didn't see Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was already full of anger, glared at Xiao Tong, and asked.

Frightened by him, he shrank his head back, and the little boy hurriedly closed the door of the house.

Seeing that the door of the house was closed, Zhang Fei was about to step forward and knock the door open, when Liu Bei, who was standing behind, said to him: "That's it, that's it, since Mr. Zhuge is not here, I'll wait and go back, and come back tomorrow!" ”

"Big brother, this Zhuge Pifu is at home, and when I knock the door open, I'll wait until I rush in and arrest him out!" Looking back at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei frowned tightly, and said with an angry face: "If he is really at home, see if he doesn't beat him with three or five hundred punches to eliminate his hatred!" ”

"The third brother can't make a mistake!" Glaring at Zhang Fei, Liu Bei roared: "Go!" ”

Seeing that Liu Bei's face was a little blue, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were full of resentment, but they still followed him.

Liu Bei and the others left, and Zhuge Liang, who was sitting at home, was still studying his map.

Most of the areas marked on the map were circled by him with a pen.

All the rough circles are areas that have been occupied by the Han army.

These places, Liu Bei has no chance of capturing at all!

What he considered for Liu Bei was to seize the areas that were framed by thin circles.

These areas are all distributed in the south, and if you want to occupy them, you must turn against the Jiangdong Sun clan!

Liu Wei had already proclaimed himself emperor in the north, and the Han army occupied Sichuanzhong, apparently also coveting Jiangdong.

There were only two roads in front of Zhuge Liang, one was to take advantage of the fact that the Han army did not go south and occupy Jiangdong as much as possible.

With Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, the capture of Jiangdong is simply a fool's dream.

The other way is to wait for the Han army to go south, unite Jiangdong to resist the Han army, wait until the Han army is defeated, and then attack from behind to take Jiangdong into the bag.

Looking at the map, he already had an idea in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth.

The second time he met Zhuge Liang, he ate a closed door again, although Liu Bei said that he stopped Zhang Fei from breaking through the door, he was also quite unhappy in his heart.

When he returned to Jingzhou City, he went straight into the mansion, closed the door, and did not see anyone.

Since he came to Jingzhou, there are often some Jingzhou officials in the house.

Most of these officials are military attaches under Liu Biao, and occasionally a few civil officials interact with Liu Bei, but the number is not very large.

As for the people in front of Liu Biao, although there are a few who have maintained contacts with him, they are mostly cautious and dare not be too ostentatious.

Although Jingzhou is said to be in charge of Liu Biao, Liu Biao's Mrs. Cai is not an ordinary character.

Especially Mrs. Cai's brother Cai Mao, who is a general who commands the naval army, everyone in Jingzhou City is somewhat afraid of Cai.

When he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Bei always showed a virtuous and generous appearance in front of people, and he was very popular, but Cai's family did not have a good impression of him.

There were also a few more times, Cai Mao and Liu Bei met in the market, and Cai Mao even spoke ill of Liu Bei and humiliated Liu Bei.

It's also a loss to Liu Bei, if he were someone else, I'm afraid he would have drawn his sword and fought hard with him.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Cai family and Cai Mao that most of the officials in Jingzhou City dare not have a close relationship with Liu Bei.

Back at the residence, Liu Bei went into the room, closed the door, ignored Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and thought about his own affairs.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who accompanied him to see Zhuge Liang and ate the closed door again, saw him close the door and lock his house in the house, and the two of them were also resentful.

No matter how you say it, Liu Bei's identity in front of the world is also after the king of Zhongshan and Jin.

With the name of the royal prince, it is really annoying that a country man dares to close his door again and again!

"Second brother, we always go to visit like this, but Zhuge Pifu is closed, it's not a matter after all!" Standing outside Liu Bei's door, Zhang Fei whispered to Guan Yu: "Stay until tomorrow, if that Zhuge Pifu doesn't see us again, I will go in and arrest him, and see what he has to say!" ”

Guan Yu's temperament is calmer than Zhang Fei's, but even so, Zhuge Liang's refusal to meet them twice in a row still makes him very unhappy in his heart.

Brushing the long beard on his chin, Guan Yu's brows were tightly twisted, and he was speechless for a long time.

He was full of displeasure with Zhuge Liang, but he knew that once he rushed in and captured Zhuge Liang, he was afraid that the first two days of his visit would be fruitless.

"Third brother, be patient, stay until tomorrow, and see what the horseman says!" After twisting his eyebrows and thinking for a while, Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei: "If you are so rude again, the two of us will rush in together, bump into him, and see what else he has to say!" ”

"That's it!" After thinking for a while, Zhang Fei nodded and said, "This matter is up to the second brother!" ”

Liu Bei returned to Jingzhou, didn't say anything all night, and after another night, the sky was bright, and he asked people to invite Zhang Fei and Guan Yu over.

Going out of the city with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were quite unhappy in their hearts.

After eating closed door soup twice in a row, whoever you put it on will feel unhappy!

rode a fast horse all the way to Longzhong and went straight to Zhuge Liang's residence.

Outside the door of Zhuge Liang's residence, Liu Bei turned over and jumped off the horse, and without waiting for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to step forward, he had already strode to the door.

Standing outside the door and patting the door gently, Liu Bei turned around and waved his hand at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were about to step forward, signaling them not to get too close.

Seeing him like this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also knew that he must be worried that the two of them would cause trouble, so they didn't let them get too close.

Glancing at each other, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were unhappy in their hearts, but they did not step forward.

Gently tapped the door a few times, and the sound of a child answering the door came from inside the house.

The door opened, and the little boy poked his head out of it, looked at Liu Bei and the others, and said to them: "The three of them are here again, and Mr. is waiting in the house!" ”

I thought that Zhuge Liang would excuse myself again, but I didn't expect that this time I would let them enter the house as soon as the door was opened, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were stunned, and looked at each other with stunned faces.

"Thank you, little boy!" Knowing that Zhuge Liang was waiting for them at home, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly arched his fist to the little boy, thanked him, and strode into the house.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei enter the house, and they also followed suit.

Entering the house, the boy led the servants to a hall in the house.

Just as he was about to walk outside the hall door, a man came out from inside.

The person who greeted him, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, saw the servants, bowed to them with his fists in his hands, and said: "I heard that the envoy has come here repeatedly, and Liang happened to go to visit a friend, and he snubbed the envoy, so I hope it is not strange!" ”

Standing in front of them was Zhuge Liang, who did not meet Liu Bei and others for two consecutive days.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were following Liu Bei, wanted to ask him a question, Xiaotong had said two days ago that he was not there.

When a person is not at home, how can he tell a child to say this?

But when the words came to their lips, seeing Liu Bei's respectful face, the two didn't ask.

Knowing that it was Zhuge Liang who was standing in front of him, Liu Bei hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, returned a big salute to him, and said to him: "I heard that Mr. Daming, I have long admired him, but I had no choice but to come to visit him these two days, Mr. is traveling outside, and I have no chance to see him!" It is a great pleasure to meet Mr. today! ”

"Envoy, please come in and speak!" made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang stood sideways and invited the servants to enter the house.

As Zhuge Liang entered the house, everyone sat down, and Liu Bei hugged his fists again and arched towards Zhuge Liang and said, "Sir, I am here to invite Mr. ......."

"Don't be busy!" Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhuge Liang waved his hand at him with a smile, interrupted his words and asked, "The envoy is here, but you want to know how to establish a solid foundation in this world?" ”

The original intention was to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, but he didn't want to be asked by him, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is not bad, the world is in chaos, heroes from all walks of life are rising, and the Han royal family is in decline." As a member of the Han family, every time he sees the people displaced, and the Han emperor is sluggish, his heart is like a knife! Sir, do you have a good plan to teach you? ”

"The envoy is here, and Liang has prepared a plan for hegemony!" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "Let the king stay less!" ”

Answered, watching Zhuge Liang get up and leave, Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Kneeling behind Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were unhappy on their faces, thinking that they had been tricked by him for two days, the two of them rushed up and pressed Zhuge Liang to the impulse to be flattened.

Seeing Liu Bei's eyes, the two of them forcibly suppressed the boredom in their hearts, and they both turned their faces to the side.

Zhuge Liang got up and left, and after a while, he walked out of the back compartment.

Zhuge Liang who came out was still holding a long scroll in his arms.

Seeing him come out with the scroll, Liu Bei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Envoy, this picture is drawn by a certain person!" Placing the scroll on the low table in front of him, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The plan to base the world is on this scroll!" ”
