On the banquet, it is nothing more than singing praises of virtue, reminiscing about the old words, Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, and these officials in Chengdu did not participate, and they all came forward to pay respects at this opportunity, as for the affairs of Jingzhou, everyone wisely avoided talking about it, and Guan Yu and Mei Changsheng were naturally deserted

After the dismissal, Liu Bei ordered someone to arrange a place for Mei Changsheng, and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei went to the mansion alone to discuss the matter, which belonged to the highest level of Shu Han, although Mei Changsheng saved Guan Yu, but he was not qualified to participate in it

When they arrived at the mansion, everyone sat down in the study, and Liu Bei asked, "I don't know what the military division has to do about the loss of Jingzhou this time?"

Zhuge Liang groaned, got up and pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Although our army has lost Jingzhou now, it is not a good thing?"

"Huh?" Zhang Fei's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "How can it be a good thing to lose such a big place?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Jingzhou is the land of the four wars, in the past, Cao Cao went down to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving Cao Ren's 100,000 troops stationed in Xiangyang, and the Eastern Wu generals were headed by Zhou Yu, and they all believed that Jingzhou was borrowed from the lord of Eastern Wu, and wanted to return it at all times."

Speaking of this, he looked at Guan Yu, "Liang suggested that the second general should defend Jingzhou, because the general is known as a prestige in Cao's army, and it has a deterrent effect on the eastern generals, which is the best policy to protect Jingzhou."

Liu Bei nodded slightly when he heard this, before Jingzhou was lost, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and revitalized Huaxia, which was indeed effective, and Dongwu did not dare to covet it, and even Sun Quan sent someone to Jingzhou to ask for marriage

Zhuge Liang saw that Guan Yu had a look of guilt on his face, and said, "It's just that after the death of Gong Jin, Lu Meng is a person who is good at tricks, and the betrayal of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren caused the loss of Jingzhou, this is not Yun Chang's ears!"

Guan Yu sighed lightly, "It's me who is too self-conscious, if I agree to the marriage between Yinping and Sun Deng, I won't make such a big mistake."

Zhang Fei said angrily, "Second brother doesn't have to blame himself, how can that blue-eyed child be worthy of my niece?"

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, there is no need to pursue the past matters, he has long understood the surnames of these two people, and the changes in Guan Yu make him even more pleased, no longer as sharp as before, arrogant and self-conscious, and calm and introverted are the most important conditions for a commander

He has already seen that Guan Yu has undergone this change, like fire refining real gold, it can be regarded as completely baked, he designed and honed in every way back then, and even had Huarong Dao to let Cao Cao go, but he never saw the effect, this time he suddenly woke up, in the long run, it is still the luck of Shu Han

Thinking of this, he sighed, "I observed the celestial phenomena a while ago, and I saw a strange appearance in the land of mediocrity, I thought something big would happen, but I didn't expect it to be a public welfare army, which is impressive."

"Haha, what the military master said is extremely true," - mentioning Mei Changsheng, Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing, "I have talked very happily with my virtuous nephew on the road these days, and I have wisely retired Cao Ping several times, which is indeed not wrong."

Zhang Fei has clear grievances and grievances, his surname is straightforward, Mei Changsheng saved Guan Yu, he is naturally grateful, plus Mei Changsheng has become very talkative on the road, very much in line with Zhang Fei's appetite, and his favorability has doubled

Zhuge Liang frowned and sighed, "In the past two months, the sky has been chaotic, and the light is impossible to judge, the direction of Eastern Wu and Jingzhou has been dim before, and there seems to be a tendency to fall, but since Shangyong has appeared brilliantly, these two generals are more brilliant, and in today's situation, it must be the Eastern Wu - people and the second general escaped - the catastrophe, but the reincarnation of the heavens, the rise and fall follow, the northern purple micro star is dim, I am afraid that something big will happen in the Wei State."

Zhang Fei smiled, "Then dare to be kind, let the bad luck go to Cao Cao, hahaha"

As he was talking, he suddenly reported that the law was coming, Liu Bei hurriedly went out to greet him personally, and saw that the law was thinner than when he was in Hanzhong, his face was pale, and he said with pity, "Xiaozhi is sick, so he should recuperate, and he has entered the winter, be careful of the wind and cold."

Fa Zheng coughed several times, waved his hand and said, "Hearing the changes in Jingzhou, my heart is uneasy, and I have seen you for several years, so I came to see you."

Guan Yu hugged his fist and said, "-Don't count the years, I can't imagine that Xiaozhi is seriously ill like this, working for the country, Mr. has worked hard"

Liu Bei led a few people into the room, and after sitting down again, Zhuge Liang asked Fa Zheng, "Since the public welfare has been fighting for the mediocre, it has repeatedly come up with strange tricks, I don't know what Xiaozhi thinks?"

In fact, in the Shu army, the real strategist is Fa Zheng, who accompanies Liu Bei every time he goes out and gives him advice, while Zhuge Liang rules the rear and manages government affairs

Fa Zheng nodded lightly when he heard this, and said, "The public welfare was brave before, but the strategy was insufficient, this time I led the table tennis alone, which is really impressive, and I sigh that it is better to be in the empty city!"

Zhang Fei said with a smile, "It seems that my virtuous nephew will also be able to be a general in the future!"

"Can it be useful?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, the meaning of his words is not only referring to Mei Changsheng's ability to unify ping, but to Changyuan's plan, Liu Chan is going to inherit the throne in the future, Mei Changsheng is the elder brother, the stronger the ability, the greater the threat

This key question is naturally not something that can be decided at any time, Zhang Fei also closed his mouth unconsciously, Guan Yufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, he was the most difficult to express his position at this time, Zhuge Liang feather fan shook lightly, and he couldn't see his thoughts

"If the public welfare has the heart of King Wen, it will not be the luck of the Han family," Fa Zheng frowned slightly, and muttered, "It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable and difficult to guess, since he likes to study table tennis strategies, it is better for me to accept him as an apprentice first, and then make observations."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Filial piety knows that it is lonely, this is the best policy"

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang also nodded slowly, this is indeed the best way to deal with it, as long as Mei Changsheng is willing to learn the table tennis method and worship under the door, you can observe Mei Changsheng, and more importantly, in this way, there will be restrictions on Mei Changsheng in the future, if he is loyal to assist, it will not be in vain to cultivate, if he has two hearts, Fa Zheng can personally come forward to crusade as a teacher

Zhang Fei didn't care about those people's thoughts, and still thought about what Zhuge Liangmo had said just now, and asked, "Military Master, you just said that there are benefits to the loss of Jingzhou, where are the benefits?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Liang also said just now that Jingzhou is a place that everyone wants to capture, so this loss is a good opportunity for our army to retreat!"

He pointed to the area of Yizhou on the map, and continued, "Now our army only owns Xichuan-land, but there are still barbarians in the south, which cannot be ignored, and Cao Cao has already pacified the north, and the Qiang tribe has been greatly broken, and the Cao army has no more disasters from foreign races, and Sun Quan also sent an army to pacify the Shanyue army, and now only the Nanban under my rule is left, and this trouble must be eliminated!"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "That's right, we must first eradicate the internal troubles, so that we can enter the Central Plains with peace of mind!"

Zhuge Liang said again, "Xichuan has been far away from the Central Plains since ancient times, surrounded by mountains, and there are only a few passages to invade!" Now that there is General Wei Yan in Han, he can ensure that nothing is lost, but this Yong'an guard general, Liang Jue has to choose someone else!"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Isn't it enough to guard Yong'an?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "The dragon is enough to defend, but he is not the best candidate!"

Liu Bei was even more puzzled, "Who else can be in charge of this?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Yu with a smile and said, "It's none other than the second general!"

Guan Yu was a little surprised, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust, it's just that I have recently lost Jingzhou, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, how can I go to defend Yong'an again?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "There are many tricks in the previous Dongwu sneak attack on Jingzhou, if it weren't for Mi Fang's betrayal, Jingzhou would only lose two cities!" If Soochow learns that General Guan is in Yong'an, he will be afraid that the general will wait for an opportunity to retaliate, and he will definitely send Ping An to guard against the general, but he will not dare to attack!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, "The military division's plan is very good, those people sneak attacked and took Jingzhou from the second brother, and now let the second brother confront those people, the generals of Eastern Wu must be afraid of the second brother, and they only think about defense!"

Liu Bei also felt that Zhuge Liang's move was indeed good, so he suppressed Dongwu psychologically, nodded and said, "The second brother will rest for half a month, and then go to Yong'an to exchange for Xiaolong and come back."

"There's no need to be in a hurry about this," Guan Yu was about to agree, but Fa Zheng raised his hand to stop him, and the bloodless horns flashed with a strange smile, "He took Jingzhou from Eastern Wu and let the second general suffer the humiliation of captivity, how can he give up so easily?"

Zhang Fei saw a positive smile, and understood that he must have some plan, and couldn't help but look forward to it, rubbing his hands and asking, "Xiaozhi has a clever plan to say it quickly, if you want to make Dongwu suffer some losses, I will support you first."
