"This Cao Pi is really a big deal!" Liu Bei smiled coldly, with a hint of domineering on his face.

This Cao Pi, in order to be able to wave his army into Shu, really went through a lot of trouble, and even the assassination was so complicated, it was really difficult for him.

What's more, it is followed by the five ways of the Han, if these five ways can really be divided into a combined attack, then Ji Han may not be able to block it.

However, this so-called five-way offensive is nothing more than delusion.

Liu Bei knew this, but he hoped that the monarch and the ministers would be of the same mind, so he asked Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "What the minister sees is the same as the prince, this five-way army, it seems to be thunderous, but in fact the rain is small." Nanban Meng Huo had already been disabled by Zhao Yun, and 20,000 of them were drawn to form the Wudang Flying Army, so Nanban Meng Huo was just a clawless tiger; ”

"As for Sun Quan in Jiangdong, there are 10,000 elite soldiers each led by Leng Feng and Shihuan, garrisoning troops in Jiangxia, the two of them leaning on each other, solid as gold, and Li Feng, Huo Jun, and Fei Guan guarded the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, peeking at Yuzhang County, Sun Quan was attacked by the enemy on his back, and he would not dare to act rashly. ”

"As for the Wei army in Nanyang, Guan Yu is sitting in Jingzhou, and he should be safe, as for the Wei army, he will be able to press Guanzhong and peep into Hanzhong, and he will have Wei Yan. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan while talking eloquently, showing that he was in his chest.

Liu Bei nodded secretly when he heard this, only feeling that Kong Ming's words were the essence of the art of war, even if he was in charge of dispatching, he would do so.

He sighed: "What the prime minister said is reasonable, and this five-way army is not a problem." ”

Then he said: "I didn't expect that in my life, when I got old, I was calculated by the children, so that I was bedridden,"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "May Your Majesty protect the dragon body and hope for the heavens!"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The Han and the thief are not separated, the king is not partial, even if Cao Pi Xiao'er does not come to calculate me, I will also go north to Qinchuan and support the Han family, the prime minister can rest assured, I will not enter Chang'an, and I will not die blindly." ”

Feng Zhou sighed in his heart, then took a step forward, and said slightly: "Erchen thinks that as long as he waits patiently, within a year or two, there will definitely be a war between Wei and Wu, and my Han can take the opportunity to send troops to Qinchuan, occupy Chang'an, occupy Longxi and Yongzhou, wait for the strong troops, and then go east to Guandong, so that in five years, he will be able to dominate the world." ”

Liu Bei was relieved to see him talking like this, and said, "I originally thought that you would rush out of the army with blood and bravery, but I didn't expect you to be calm. ”

Feng Zhou said: "Since Cao Pi'er's assassination has been carried out, then his army must be in the process of mobilization, especially the Guanzhong army, at this time, if our army goes north, I am afraid that the war will be protracted, so Erchen thinks that defense is now the priority, and after the enemy retreats, when they are unprepared, they will wave their army north." It is important to know that the essence of the art of war is nothing more than mobilizing the enemy, concentrating superior forces, and annihilating the enemy's living forces. The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, Wei is like a fat cow of one hundred catties, I only eat ten catties at a meal, but I can eat it in ten days. ”

"Okay!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and shouted: "Adou has not reached the weak crown, but he has such a strong ambition, even if Ganluo and Huo Qu are sick, they are not as good as it." What does the Prime Minister think?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The words of the prince are deeply wonderful in the art of war, with His Majesty here, the Han family should be prosperous, and the prince will be there, and the Han family will be prosperous." As a sigh of emotion, the minister will be loyal and wise, and assist the Han industry. ”

Say it, fall to your knees and kowtow heavily.

Liu Bei hurriedly asked Feng Zhou to help Zhuge Liang up, and sighed: "I can hold my body at this time, but I don't know how long I can hold it. ”

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he sweated all over his body, his hands and feet were at a loss, and he wept and bowed to the ground and said: "The ministers dare to do their best to be loyal and faithful, and then die! May Your Majesty rest the dragon body! The ministers and others will do their best to repay Your Majesty's kindness." "Words, prostration, bloodshed.

Feng Zhou also said: "Your Majesty take care of the dragon's body, stay in Chang'an in the future, share the peace of the Han Dynasty, and drink Weiyang Palace with the prime minister, second uncle, third uncle, Uncle Yun and others, isn't this the pleasure of the big husband?"

Liu Bei said: "I also want to enter Chang'an, but I'm afraid that my body won't be able to support it." ”

Feng Zhou said: "The son's study of the 'Xuanyuan Duan Body Technique' regulates the inside, nourishes the lungs, and prolongs life, so please use it for your father." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Adou Chunxiao, I remember." Go out, I want to rest. ”

Feng Zhou and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other and got up to say goodbye.

But Feng Zhou knew in his heart that Liu Bei had made up his mind that he would not practice any body forging techniques.

He is so stubborn, there is no good way to seal the boat, after all, this kind of thing can only be taught to a person who has a certain understanding of internal strength.

Although there was a saying of spirit and spirit in the late Han Dynasty, the theory of internal strength had not yet been perfected, and he rashly taught it to an emperor in his sixties, but he was afraid that Liu Bei would be easy to go mad.

Therefore, Liu Bei's body can only depend on the internal condition of his body.

It is said that Cao Pi ordered Sima Yi to plan for several years, arranged such intricate assassination strategies, and used these three years to actively contact and named Sun Quan as the king of Wu of Great Wei, just to form an alliance with him and agree to jointly crusade against Jing Shu.

In addition, he also sent people to contact the Qiang King Kebineng and the Nanban Meng Shu to make an appointment with the soldiers.

But I didn't expect that for Shanjiu to fall short, the assassin attempted to assassinate Liu Bei, Shuzhong was stable, and the news came out, whether it was Kebineng or Meng Huo, they all stood still, and there was no sign of useless soldiers.

And Jiangdong Sun Quan was even more indifferent to sending troops.

These three roads were not touched, and Cao Ren of Nanyang did not dare to go south to attack Guan Yu, and the army on the western route arranged by Cao Pi was meaningless.

So Cao Pi had no choice but to quit his troops and ordered Cao Zhen, the governor of Yongliang, to sit in Chang'an to guard against the Northern Expedition of Ji Han.

But after all, Liu Bei is sixty-three years old, and he has been fighting all his life, scarred, this time he was poisoned, and he was unwilling to exercise his body according to Professor Feng Zhou's method, conditioning his lungs, and his body slowly weakened, and finally died in April of the fourth year of Zhang Wu.

Liu Bei died, and the civil and military bureaucrats were all grieving. After the mourning and salutation, the boat was sealed as the emperor, and the yuan was changed to Jianxing. Zhuge Liang is the Marquis of Wuxiang and leads the Yizhou pastor. Buried in Huiling, said Emperor Zhaolie. Empress Wu was honored as the empress dowager, Mrs. Zhan Gan was the empress of Zhaolie, Mrs. Mi was also posthumously named the queen, and Zhang Xingcai, the daughter of Zhang Fei, was appointed as the empress, and the ministers were promoted to be rewarded and amnesty was granted to the world.

Cao Pi heard that Liu Bei had died, and the idea of conquest began, Jia Xu admonished: "Liu Bei lingered in the hospital bed for a year, and the political affairs have long been entrusted to the crown prince Liu Chan and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, although the emperor died, but Shuzhong is not chaotic, if it attacks at this time, I am afraid that the other party will win." ”

Cao Pi asked Sima Yi again, Sima Yi said: "Liu Adou is the king of martial arts, the general Xu Huang was beheaded by him, and Cao Zhen, the governor of Yongliang, did not dare to fight, if he attacked forcibly, he was only afraid of losing his troops and generals, so it was better to attack Eastern Wu first, Sun Quan was repeatedly trapped in Hefei, and cut Jiangxia to Liu Bei, which can be described as increasingly embarrassing, if it is attacked by heavenly soldiers, there may be a winning strategy." However, in order to attack Eastern Wu, it is necessary to prevent the surprise attack of Liu Chan and Guan Yu. ”

Cao Pi obeyed his words and ordered Cao Xiu, the governor of Nanyang, to beware of Guan Yu, Cao Zhen to sit in Chang'an, beware of Liu Chan, and then sent an order to attack Wu. Sima Yi said: "Wu has the danger of the Yangtze River, and it is not a boat to cross." His Majesty will drive the expedition in person, choose large and small warships, enter Huai from Cai and Ying, take Shouchun, go to Guangling, cross the river estuary, and take Nanxu: this is the best policy. ”

When the news reached Jinguancheng, Feng Zhou summoned Zhuge Liang and said: "Since the first emperor succeeded to the throne, my Han has been dormant for four years, and now Cao Pi wants to attack Eastern Wu, which is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition, what does the prime minister think?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The minister is willing to personally lead the army and set the Central Plains in the north to fulfill the last wish of the first emperor." ”

Feng Zhou smiled slightly: "This time the Northern Expedition, naturally the prime minister led the army, but I can't sit in Jinguan City, I should secretly go with the army, and I must give a military order, the army is strictly forbidden to reveal my identity and whereabouts, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Zhuge Liang felt a pang in his heart, and immediately remembered that the Qin army had a similar military order in the Battle of Changping, and he knew that Feng Zhou was young and fought with the army, beheaded famous generals, repelled Cao Zhen, and scared off the Wu army.

After Feng Zhou returned to Jinguancheng, he has been cultivating a new army, and now it has been four or five years.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Although the Wu army is powerful, but with Your Majesty's words, the ministers are a lot more down-to-earth. ”

Feng Zhou nodded and said, "I know that I can't hide anything from the prime minister." ”
