"Baoyu, can you reach out?" Zhang Qiying asked in a shy whisper.

"What are you doing?" Wang Baoyu asked, still stretching out a hand in a daze. Why, you have to shoot to sleep? is also Hei Ni, you can't compare this to Huoya.

Zhang Qiying didn't answer Wang Baoyu's words, but also reached out a little hand from the quilt, and gently hooked her little finger to Wang Baoyu's little finger, and then said with relief: "Baoyu, sleep!" ”

Zhang Qiying's move, it is not difficult to see that she is also an insecure girl, which makes Wang Baoyu's heart rise a trace of inexplicable pity, and she can't help but spread out her palm and hold this slightly cool soft wattle in her hand.

The warmth swept all over Zhang Qiying's body along her little hands, and she was so ashamed that she pulled the quilt to cover her face, but she felt a sense of steadiness that she had never felt before. Then, the two of them held hands and fell asleep.

Hanzhong has been pacified, but Cao Cao did not immediately collect his troops and return to Xudu, which made Wang Baoyu faintly raise a trace of worry in his heart, needless to say, Cao Cao had the idea of continuing to attack Xichuan.

Of course, Wang Baoyu didn't want to make a move with his sworn brother Liu Bei, not to mention that Zhuge Liang was also there, but he knew very well in his heart that if Cao Cao made up his mind to attack Xichuan, no one would be able to stop him.

Wang Baoyu also firmly had an idea, if Cao Cao attacked Xichuan, he would definitely not get involved, even if Cao Cao threatened him, it would not work.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and it is already late autumn. Cao Cao didn't make any moves, neither retreated, nor attacked, nor looked for Wang Baoyu, he had a normal routine every day, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Wang Baoyu is getting more and more familiar with Zhang Qiying, this little girl is also interesting, she sings in the yard when she has nothing to do, her timbre is not bad, but her voice is very high, and the neighbors are uneasy, but no one dares to accuse them.

Every time Zhang Qiying sings very devotedly, she speaks very casually, and often hooks up with Wang Baoyu, but she is like two good buddies. When Wang Baoyu was happy, she also taught her some modern pop tunes, and the two occasionally sang together with a male and female chorus, they sang happily, but for others, it was impossible to listen.

The two of them always sleep hand in hand, but they don't see any excessive behavior of Wang Baoyu, Zhang Qiying began to think that Wang Baoyu is a righteous gentleman, and there is still a trace of respect in her heart. But then I had some suspicions that it was my femininity that was not enough, and I couldn't help but sigh at night.

Wang Baoyu guessed what she was thinking, couldn't bear to hurt her, and bluntly told her, not that he was not interested in her at all, but that his own functions were not good. She can rest assured that when she remarries, she can still maintain a perfect body.

Zhang Qiying's mood is very complicated, and she can't imagine that Wang Baoyu, who is jealous of talent, seems to have a qiē, but still has such a fatal problem. I really don't know if it's my fate or bad luck when I met him!

Speaking of Liu Bei's side, Meng Da heard that Zhang Lu had surrendered and Cao Cao had occupied Bazhong, so he retreated halfway through the army and quickly reported the matter to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked, he knew very well what Cao Cao's next move would be, first attacking Jiameng Pass, and then marching into Xichuan.

Having just won Xichuan and gaining an unstable foothold, Liu Bei certainly didn't want to have another war with Cao Cao, so Liu Bei came to discuss with the civil and military, and the main battle factions such as Fa Zheng and Huang Quan felt that it was nothing to fight with Cao Cao, and with today's strength, it may not be impossible to win; Zhuge Liang, Jian Yong and other conservatives objected, believing that Cao Cao had just won the battle and his morale was flourishing, and he should try to avoid his edge.

How to avoid it? Cao Cao has hit the door, can he still give up Xichuan? Let's capture Xichuan, and our morale is not weak, so we can use this to train our troops!

If you fight strongly, there will be damage, and you need to have a proper way to do it.

Well, you all have good brains, think! The idea of us stupid people is very simple, one word, type!

After discussing for several days, fortunately, the literacy of the two factions was relatively high, and they did not tear their faces and quarrel, but they did not reach an agreement. In this matter, it also reflects the change in Liu Bei's mentality, with Fa Zheng and other strategists, he made the previous mistake again, and he did not rely on Zhuge Liang very much, and only used his construction as a reference.

Zhuge Liang's position as the chief strategist was once again vacated. When there is no one, Zhuge Liang inevitably sighs for a long time, and the lord is so cold and hot, repeatedly, which makes people feel cold. But Zhuge Liang is good-tempered, in fact, he has not had the idea of retreating, but he can't rest assured, although Fa Zheng and others are loyal to the Lord, but their wrists are too tough, and they still need someone to remind them from the side and correct them in the past.

On this day, Jiangdong Sun Quan sent an envoy to ask for the land of Jingzhou, and this person was Zhuge Liang's own brother Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin didn't rush to see Liu Bei, but found his second brother Zhuge Liang first, and cried: "Second brother, Sun Quan has issued a death order, if he can't return to Jingzhou this time, he will tie up his brother's family and the execution ground, including the third brother." ”

Zhuge Liang is such a brain, at first glance, this is a bitter ploy, Sun Quan is also a generation of masters, he will never do such a foolish thing, and persuaded: "Brother, don't worry, Sun Quan will definitely not do such a chilling thing." ”

"How could it not? Now all the family members are accused, and life and death are worried! Zhuge Jin was still crying.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Brother, I am also a soft-spoken person now, since this is the case, do my best!" ”

Subsequently, the two brothers found Liu Bei, and Zhuge Jin took out the agreement he had signed with Lu Su, and now that Xichuan has obtained it, it should be returned to Jingzhou.

In view of the fact that Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, Liu Bei was polite to him, gave him a tea greeting, and then gave Zhuge Liang a look and asked him to come to the back to discuss.

It is difficult to hand over the things in his hand, which is a common problem for most people, of course Liu Bei does not want to return Jingzhou, what a big piece of meat, it hurts to cut it, I hope Zhuge Liang can come up with a good way to push it.

Zhuge Liang already had a plan in his heart, and said: "Lord, now that Cao Bing is in the north, he is eyeing the tiger, if Sun Quan's soldiers send Jingzhou, then Xichuan will be surrounded on both sides, and it will be difficult to hold." ”

Liu Bei suddenly lowered his face and asked in a cold voice: "The intention of the military advisor, is it really to give Jingzhou to Sun Quan?" ”

"Liang thinks that he can first send the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang to Sun Quan, so as to stabilize the relationship, and invite Sun Quan to raise troops and attack Heqi again, so as to solve Cao Cao's danger." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei was speechless for a long time, and took the initiative to give Sun Quan land, which made him feel very faceless, Zhuge Liang didn't speak, and the stalemate lasted for a long time, Liu Bei understood that this should be the best solution at present, so he finally nodded and said: "In this way, it will be arranged according to the military division." ”
