To be honest, Liu Bei's mood is actually quite good, the original intention of coming to the capital is, of course, to help the Son of Heaven sweep the universe, but the final result is too unexpected.

Although Liu Bei also has selfish intentions, he can't attribute all his actions to selfishness because he is selfish, and anyone's behavior is actually mixed with instinctive selfishness and rational trade-offs.

Therefore, the situation in the capital changed three times a day, until the Son of Heaven suddenly died, Liu Bei was also very uncomfortable, no matter what, the current Liu Bei still wants to be Zhou Gongdan, but he doesn't have this opportunity to give him, or he himself understands that even if the young Son of Heaven is handed over to him now, he doesn't have the ability to help the Son of Heaven shelter from the wind and rain.

Therefore, it is the right choice to choose to return to Jingzhou to lie down and taste the courage, as for how the young Son of Heaven will be Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei has no choice, at least, as a royal family, you should have such an awareness, if you can't even endure humiliation, how can you be called a Ming Jun of Zhongxing Han? Rather than this, it is better to change to a capable Ran to do it, there are many children of the Liu family, isn't the other heir of the first emperor by Ding Yuan's side!

Thinking like this, the guilt and heaviness in Liu Bei's heart suddenly disappeared a lot, and he was able to see the current situation more clearly, as Sun Qian analyzed, now the capital is actually a struggle between the three camps of the Quartet, if everyone stays in the capital and does not leave, there may be a chaotic war in the end, and the clan with a strong local foundation will undoubtedly achieve the final victory.

Therefore, temporarily leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, return to Jingzhou to bury his head in development, continue to strengthen his strength, and wait for Dong Zhuo to have a big conflict with the clan camp. When both sides are exhausted, it is time for Liu Bei to clean up the mess and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

Thereupon. After receiving the benefits of a large amount of money, food and materials sent by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui either explicitly or secretly, Liu Bei happily embarked on the road back to Jingzhou, with him there were some poor students who ran out of Taixue to serve, and there were also some foreign scholars who came to Beijing to study and consciously had never met talents, seeing Liu Bei's generosity and benevolence, and humble corporal, so they came to vote one after another, these people could not get benefits from the clan camp, and in Dong Zhuo's eyes. These students are not famous people, so they don't like to see them, so they cheapened Liu Bei.

The most famous of these. It is Chen Zhen and Chen Xiaoqi.

Chen Zhen's ability in governance and civil affairs. far surpasses Sun Gan, even in terms of political strategy, Sun Qian is secretly ashamed. What is even more admirable is that Chen Zhen is a very low-key person, he doesn't like to talk much, and he doesn't like to be in the limelight, he is a very pragmatic person, so Chen Zhen soon got Liu Bei's attention and was cited as a confidant.

"My lord. The changes in the capital are just around the corner, and Dong Zhuo is alone in the south. It will not be long, and it will be in a hurry to open up the connection with Xiliang, so Hedong has become the key point of contention between the two sides. ”

Sun Qian pointed to the map and talked eloquently, some dim candles shook slightly, and the faces of everyone in the tent were a little flickering.

Guan Yu slowly stroked his beard and didn't speak, Guan Yu is a person who doesn't like nonsense, so he won't easily express his opinion until he thinks it through and is not sure.

Liu Bei looked at the map and nodded, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deep, but he didn't know what he was worried about?

"Xiaoqi, what do you think of the situation in Beijing?"

Chen Zhen pursed his lips, looked at Liu Bei and replied very seriously: "Lord, today's latest news says that Dong Zhuo appointed Kong Ling as the assassin of Yuzhou and Liu Dai as the assassin of Yanzhou, but he didn't move Hedong to guard this position. ”

"Xiaoqi is saying that Dong Zhuo's target is not Hedong?" Liu Bei asked in surprise, while Sun Qian smiled and stroked his beard silently.

"No, it's just the opposite, if you don't move Hedong Taishou, it just means that Dong Zhuo wants to do it in Hedong. And the history of Yanzhou and Yuzhou's assassination, in the current situation, is just an idle move, although this chess piece may be able to play an unexpected effect, but at the moment Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all controlled by Yuan Kui and his gang, and the history of assassination is just an empty shelf. Dong Zhuo's move was intended to be tentative, and by the way, he diverted his attention, and the real target was Hedong. ”

Liu Bei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The two of you are reasonable, Hedong!" If Dong Zhuo makes a move, the southeast and north of the river will be attacked by the enemy, and the land east of the river is easy to attack and difficult to defend, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will easily succeed. ”

"Don't worry, lord! Even if Dong Zhuo wins Hedong, I'm afraid he is still not Yuan Kui's opponent. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked, "Oh, Gongyou, how do you say this?" ”

Sun Qian explained with a light smile: "Even if Dong Zhuo takes Hedong, in fact, Luoyang is still an isolated city in the Central Plains, and opening up the connection with Xiliang can certainly allow Dong Zhuo to have a steady stream of soldiers and horses to go south, but Xiliang does not produce grain, and the Central Plains transports grain to Xiliang every year, so even if Yuan Kui does not attack, he will only cut off the trade route east of Luoyang Hedong, and Dong Zhuo will collapse without a fight." ”

Guan Yu frowned and interjected, "What if Dong Zhuo takes the initiative?" ”

"He will definitely take the initiative, because he will have to grab food soon, and the food stock in the capital is depleted too quickly due to the large number of Inhumans who have arrived."

"Can't you buy grain?" Liu Bei asked a little strangely.

"From whom?"

"What about this stranger?"

"How much food does the Inhumans have? It's just a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the trade route is not connected, how can it be transported in? ”

Liu Bei nodded, but Guan Yu hadn't gotten the answer he wanted, and continued to ask, "Gongyou hasn't answered my question yet." ”

Sun Qian nodded: "Second general, don't worry, Dong Zhuo will divide his troops if he takes the initiative to attack, perhaps, Yuan Kui and others are just waiting for Dong Zhuo to divide his troops, first, they can attack these partial divisions, and second, they will reduce Dong Zhuo's troops in Luoyang." ”

Guan Yu sneered and said: "Dong Zhuo's subordinates are all strong generals in the border army, Yuan Kui, relying on Yuan Shu and his ilk, even if Dong Zhuo divides his troops, what can he do?" ”

Sun Qian shook his head with a smile, and his clothes looked confident: "What if Zhu Jun and Yuan Shao's troops also arrived in the Central Plains?" ”

"This is still a good fight, but if these two people leave lightly, then the yellow turban thief ...... No, these two people will definitely not return to the Central Plains in a big way, they only need a partial division that can fight, no matter how Dong Zhuo's men and horses are counted, they are only about 100,000 people, Yuan Shao and Zhu Jun will each draw 20,000 or 30,000 people, and cooperate with Yuan Shu and the private soldiers of the Central Plains clan, you can form an advantage over Dong Zhuo in terms of strength. Also, don't forget Huangfu Song, he can still contain Dong Zhuo in the north of Liangzhou. ”

Guan Yu stared at the map for a long time, and finally nodded in approval of Sun Qian's analysis.

Liu Bei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, compared with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui, Liu Bei thought that Dong Zhuo was more dangerous, and Yuan Kui and others were a group, this group was not incapable of division, and in Dong Zhuo's recent effective differentiation actions, Liu Bei had seen the opportunity to completely disintegrate Yuan Kui's group.

"Gongyou, filial piety, the battle between Yuan Kui and Dong Zhuo seems inevitable, and both of them think that Dong Zhuo is more likely to fail, so what will happen if Dong Zhuo defeats the Son of Heaven? Was it taken hostage to Liangzhou? ”

Sun Qian frowned, this is really hard to say, but Chen Zhen straightened his waist and said: "Lord, Dong Zhuo will not be defeated and return to Liangzhou, but go west to Guanzhong 1."

Liu Bei and Sun Qiangu were shocked, their eyes involuntarily looked at the map, staring at the vast land of Guanzhong, a place of beauty!

"Is this possible?"

"Maybe, look at the current power in the court, the Guanzhong family is being reused, Dong Zhuo's efforts to win over the Guanzhong clan is to see that the Guanzhong clan is dissatisfied with the exclusion of the Kandong clan, so if Luoyang does not guard, Dong Zhuo will definitely go west to Chang'an, then the Son of Heaven will be in hand, there is Xiongguan in the east, and the back is Xiliang, if the granary Hanzhong is taken again, it will be a success1

Liu Bei unknowingly, his head was about to be on the map, his eyes followed Chen Zhen's words, and quickly grasped the situation in the entire Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Hanzhong, Liu Bei suddenly sighed, if Dong Zhuo took the initiative to retreat to Chang'an, it would be even more terrifying, he could plunder the population and wealth of Luoyang to Chang'an, and then compete with the Kwantung clan across Tongguan.

"If this is the case, Dong Zhuo is in a hurry1

Sun Gan frowned for a while before he sighed and said, by the way, he glanced at Chen Zhen with a calm face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of unwillingness to be ashamed, but Sun Gan is not the kind of person who is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and Chen Zhen is not the kind of person who steps on others to climb up.

Liu Bei was stunned for a while, and then sighed, his tone was full of unwillingness, and his slightly blackened face looked a little hideous under the dim light.

"Dong Zhuo"

It is difficult for others to understand Liu Bei's hatred for Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei's most hated nature is that Dong Zhuo broke his dream of being Zhou Gongdan, and then there is a lot of Dong Zhuo holding his nephew hostage, trampling the reputation of the royal family under his feet unscrupulously, three hating Dong Zhuo for emptying the wealth accumulated by the royal family for generations, four hating Dong Zhuo for wantonly defiling the court, giving away women who belong to the royal family on behalf of the royal family everywhere, five hatreds In short, this hatred is endless! I can't wait to bite Dong Zhuo to death with his teeth to relieve my hatred.

Guan Yu stopped stroking his long bearded right hand, moved his lips, and finally didn't speak, he didn't know how to comfort his eldest brother, what was the use of saying some empty words?

"Lord, if you can't do it militarily, then use other methods, aren't Yuan Kui the best at these? It's just that the time will be relatively long, Dong Zhuo is a person with no roots and no foundation, to put it bluntly, he is a local warlord, except for power and wealth, he has no other clear political requirements, so this person will undoubtedly be defeated1

Liu Bei's eyes lit up suddenly, Chen Zhen was right! These words fundamentally stripped Dong Zhuo's skin, a force without political pursuits, how can he unite his internal members, and why should he fight against strong external enemies? Dong Zhuo is fundamentally a politically naïve person, to a certain extent, Dong Zhuo is a lawless child, but a child is a child, he can succeed for a while, but it is absolutely impossible for a lifetime.

The wrinkles on Liu Bei's face slowly unfolded, revealing a big smile.

"This is the capital, the biggest harvest is to get filial piety, haha" welcome to your support,! ~！
