Chapter 1250 Coveting Changsha Liu Bei hesitated
Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei does have a hard flaw in the overall situation, but Liu Bei has a good one and can use people well.
When Cao Cao was thinking about how to break the encirclement that Liu Bei had made, and in turn surrounded Liu Bei, Liu Bei was thinking about how to get Changsha back from Sun Ce's hands, it seemed that Changsha would not be complete if Liu Bei's Jingzhou was not returned, and Liu Bei's heart would be extremely uncomfortable because of this.
Guan Yu's letter was on Liu Bei's desk, and under the light, Liu Bei read the short letter many times, and his hesitant personality made him never make a final decision.
From Guan Yu's letter, Liu Bei learned that Sun Cejun, who was originally confronting Guan Yu in Hengyang, had evacuated, and some of the people in Hengyang retreated to Changsha, while others stayed in Hengyang.
It is said that there is no need to write a letter to Liu Bei for instructions on this matter, if Guan Yu takes direct action, Liu Bei will be very happy, and if Fang Zhiwen is really unhappy at that time, he can also push the matter down Guan Yu's body, now that Guan Yu has written such a letter, Liu Bei is embarrassed.
If he agrees to Guan Yu's action, this is tantamount to prying Fang Zhiwen's corner in private, Fang Zhiwen really wants to investigate it, Liu Bei's face has no place to put it, but if he doesn't agree, such a good opportunity will be let go gently, and seeing the fat in his hand run away, Liu Bei's heart is extremely painful.
For Liu Bei, the choice is really a painful thing. After thinking about it for half the night, Mrs. had already asked people to urge her several times, and Liu Bei finally gritted his teeth. Hurriedly wrote on the piece of paper, 'Brother can be adaptable. In a few words, Liu Bei actually hopes that Guan Yu will not be too shrewd, and can learn from Zhang Fei and take the initiative to help him carry the black cauldron.
Letting the carrier pigeon go, Liu Bei looked at the starry sky and breathed a sigh of relief, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper, and he shook his head. Turned around and walked towards the inner house, there was still an important matter waiting to be solved by his efforts, Liu Bei was not young. The problem is, there is no queen! This is a terrible thing, it seems that we need to get a few more women, which can be regarded as a wide variety of small harvests.
Early the next morning. Sun Gan, Zhuge Jin and Pang Yuan also found Liu Bei. They also saw the changes in Changsha County from the military newspaper, but the three people did not seem to agree on the same page.
"My lord, now that Hengyang has no owner, and Changsha and Xiangyin are also empty, how can such a God-given opportunity sit idly by, as the saying goes, if you don't take it, you will be blamed, this is the best time for our army to recapture Changsha County.1
Sun Gan's opinion Liu Bei liked it, and Liu Bei even thought about it again in private. This Sun Qian is getting more and more in tune with himself, is he deliberately meeting himself? People know that villains are bad. But why is it always easy for villains to exist? The villain will make you very comfortable by your side, Sun Gan can say his heart every time, whether he is right or not, Liu Bei will feel comfortable and feel that Sun Qian is reliable.
"Lord, this matter is not appropriate, Zhu Zhi has already reached an agreement with Sun Ce, Sun Ce deliberately created this situation when changing guards, just to lure our army and Zhu Zhi into a discord, the lord must understand, now the enemy of our army is Cao Cao, if Fang Zhiwen is annoyed at this time, what is the recurrence of things, the gains and losses are clear at a glance, and you must not lose big because of small things."
Zhuge Jin rarely directly opposed Sun Gan's opinion, the consequences of this matter are too serious, if Fang Zhiwen really turned his back on this matter, it is not impossible to support or imply that Cao Cao came to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei is now making this circle around Cao Cao is actually very loose, and Liu Bei himself has a sinister Sima Fang behind him, Liu Bei's identity is destined to be an enemy of the princes, not an ally.
"Ziyu thinks too highly of Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen's relationship with our army is not an emotional factor to maintain, but a real benefit, the reason why he chose to cooperate with our army instead of Cao Cao is because he can't cooperate with Cao Cao at all, the Japanese people in Yingzhou are enemies, and the Japanese people support Cao Cao behind their backs, this matter has become known to the world, Fang Zhiwen can only cooperate with our army, therefore, at this time, our army took the opportunity to take back Changsha, Fang Zhiwen can only suffer this loss. In the future, our army will destroy Cao Cao and take charge of the Central Plains, what can Fang Zhiwen do to me, I can't say, we will take back Youzhou when the time comes1
Pang Yuan smiled, Sun Gan's ambition is very good, but the gap between ambition and reality cannot be ignored, and this gap seems to be a little scary!
Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, and shook his head, Sun Gan's idea was a little too naΓ―ve, not to mention that Fang Zhiwen would let Liu Bei take charge of the Central Plains and be indifferent, just thinking that Fang Zhiwen would not dare to cooperate with Cao Cao for the sake of fame It would be too much to take it for granted, even if he couldn't cooperate openly, he could still give Cao Cao enough support through businessmen and strangers in private.
However, Zhuge Jin had no intention of arguing with Sun Gan on this matter, after all, it was something that did not happen, it was normal for everyone to have their own opinions, who could guarantee that their opinions would be right!
Zhuge Jin looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, my subordinates insist that they can't take Changsha, and doing so will definitely damage the lord's reputation." β
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, this sentence hit his vital point, reputation! This thing is definitely a good thing, but it is also a shackle, Zhuge Jin's statement couldn't help but make Liu Bei feel a little apprehensive, in fact, he has already made a decision, in case it is really as Zhuge Jin said, it will not be good if his reputation is damaged.
Liu Bei looked at Sun Gan, Sun Gan also frowned and kept silent, Sun Gan had no choice about the possibility of losing his reputation, it was really not easy to be a bitch and set up an archway in this world, not to mention that there was such a strange existence as aliens, and nothing seemed to be able to escape their eyes.
Seeing that Sun Qian had no idea, Liu Bei turned his eyes to Pang Yuan, who was smiling: "Fuqing seems to be confident1."
"The eyes of the adults are like torches, and the subordinates do have gains."
"Oh, let's hear it, and we'll be able to solve our confusion.1
"Your Excellency is polite, and your subordinates think that both of them are right, and since they are both right, you might as well take a compromise from the opinions of the two adults.1
"Compromise!?"
"This"
Sun Qian and Zhuge Jin were a little confused, how to compromise this? Liu Bei was also confused, but there was great interest in his eyes, the essence implied by the word compromise is often to be both a bitch and an archway.
"The subordinates thought that it was possible to occupy Hengyang and even to occupy Changsha1
"What?! What if the party bounces back!? β
"Then give it back to him, we can say that in order to maintain local law and order, take the initiative to assist in the defense, and also, it is best to take the initiative to mobilize the local people, I heard that the local people seem to have a lot of complaints about Zhu Zhi's new policy, if they take the initiative to invite us to garrison to prevent theft, will they watch the people being poisoned by thieves with the benevolence of adults?"
Of course not1 Liu Bei said in a loud voice and with a righteous face, and his eyes were as bright as a light bulb.
"But Fang Zhiwen is so stupid? Will you give up these sites? β
Zhuge Jin retorted with some dissatisfaction, Pang Yuan slowly shook his fan and said: "Lord Zhuge doesn't know much about Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen has never valued territory, not to mention that the territory of Changsha County is really not so important from a strategic point of view, especially for Fang Zhiwen, the north of Changsha County is Jiangxia, Jiangxia is in my hands, and Changsha and Cao Cao do not border." Fang Zhiwen is just fighting for face with me at most, as long as the adults move with affection and reason, and then give Fang Zhiwen enough face, maybe the whole of Changsha will not be able to get it, but it is not bad to be able to divide the territory that is occupied in advance now1
Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully: "Fuqing is talking about advancing three and retreating two?" β
"Or advance three and retreat one, it depends on how we talk to Fang Zhiwen about this matter, anyway, Changsha County is also the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and Fang Zhiwen is not advantageous in terms of righteousness. As for whether Fang Zhiwen will tear his face with us, I don't think it will, the significance of his going south to Jiangdong is first to let Sun Ce out, then to better restrict Cao Cao, and finally to rule out the possibility of Yiren going north to make trouble. When it comes to territory, Fang Zhiwen really has no shortage of territory. β
Pang Yuan's words were extremely thorough, and even Zhuge Jin couldn't help nodding, admitting that he was indeed slightly inferior to Pang Yuan.
"In this case, then I will write to the second brother, ordering him to maintain local law and order no matter what, and if the local people ask for it, we can also be stationed in Changsha, Xiangyin and other places."
"That's exactly how it should be, but you have to move quickly, if thieves and bandits take advantage of it, things will be troublesome.1 Sun Qian added with a smile, and Liu Bei nodded with a smile
Xu Sheng's fleet sent Huang Zhong to Xiangyin first, and he went to Changsha first, but when he arrived in Changsha, he was shocked to find that Liu Bei's flag was fluttering on the head of Changsha, Xu Sheng was furious, but he had no way to take Changsha directly with the naval army in his hand, Xu Sheng hurriedly wrote a letter to Huang Zhong and Fang Zhiwen to report, and completely blocked the waterway west of Changsha.
The Guan Yu army in the city also closed the four gates, and the two armies confronted each other on the water in the city, and there was no way for anyone to take it.
When Fang Zhiwen received the information, he couldn't help but feel a little crying and laughing, this Liu Bei really has a feeling of being a fly camp, he has to get this little cheap, it is really speechless, maybe this is his low background that causes the kind of petty family spirit in his bones to be indelible.
Fang Zhiwen ordered Huang Zhong to advance to Changsha, but there was no need to attack the city, he could only besiege the city, and if Guan Yu dared to go out of the city, he would attack and kill him directly, giving Guan Yu and Liu Bei a lesson, and letting them know that they could not take advantage of anything.
On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen also sent a letter to Liu Bei to ask about the matter.
When Fang Zhiwen's letter was flying into Luoyang in the sky, Lu Su's team also stepped into the Luoyang City Gate, and Lu Su looked at the rather depressed Luoyang City with emotion, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. To be continued......
