Liu Bei's life has not been very smooth recently, first, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were entangled with the Yellow Turban Thieves in Biyang, but they couldn't fight in a battle, and they were reluctant to give up Biyang, and the mountain road from Wuyin to Biyang caused huge trouble to Guan Yu's supply, and now Biyang not only did not become a springboard for Liu Bei to attack Tongbai Mountain, but became a troublesome chicken rib.

In addition, what gave Liu Bei a headache was the ambiguous attitude of Jingxiang's family, they were neither willing to openly surrender to themselves, nor openly opposed Liu Bei's entry into Jingzhou, this kind of attitude was naturally an inexplicable rumor, and it became more and more out of control in the future, not to mention Cai Yan's departure and robbery, things became even more weird.

Now Fang Zhiwen suddenly sent a letter, saying that the people of the Jingxiang clan wanted to sincerely conduct a constructive negotiation with Liu Bei, and Fang Zhiwen was willing to mediate to help the two sides reach an agreement on Jingzhou's affairs as soon as possible.

How could this letter, which seemed very warm and ordinary, have some strange atmosphere? And whenever it comes to Fang Zhiwen, Liu Bei's heart will first make a sudden, and then turn it a hundred times in his heart, and in the end, he is still not sure if what he thinks of is the real purpose of Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen, a cheap big brother, Liu Bei can't see through it at all.

"Gongyou, this letter from Fang Zhiwen. What is the intention? ”

Liu Bei asked no one else was Sun Gan, who had a few encounters with Fang Zhiwen, Sun Gan did not follow Zheng Xian to Lelang, but first went to Jizhou, and then to the capital, and finally chose Liu Bei, a relative of the emperor who seemed to have no foundation at all, anyway, Sun Gan's vision was quite good. From the beginning, they firmly chose Cao, Sun, and Liu, the three people who finally became emperors, and there were indeed few people.

Sun Qian raised his head from the letter paper and tugged at his beard and thought for a while. Only then did he cautiously speak: "It is very likely that the Jingxiang clan wants to form an alliance with Fang Zhiwen1

"What !?"

Liu Bei almost jumped up from the floor, and this news couldn't be worse. The angry Liu Bei quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and the surprised look on his face was quickly hidden, Sun Qian lowered his head slightly, and didn't seem to see Liu Bei's sudden change in face.

"The news is so bad1

Sun Qian shook his head: "Not necessarily!" Fang Zhiwen's collusion with the Jingxiang clan was actually foreshadowed as early as when Fang Zhiwen picked up Miss Cai Yan, and it can be said that the current situation is just a natural necessity. ”

Liu Bei frowned and nodded, the wrinkles between his eyebrows were deep enough to catch mosquitoes!

"I understand that, just. Although I can understand it, it is difficult to accept this fact, in this way, with Fang Zhiwen's support behind the Jingxiang clan, it is very likely that they will resist our control of Jingzhou with all their might, which is in trouble. Fang Zhiwen is a person who is not easy to deal with 1

"Hehe, what the lord said is very true, Fang Zhiwen is very difficult to deal with, but why should we deal with him? Moreover, he may not be trying to deal with us.1

"Huh? Gongyou means that Fang Zhiwen didn't want to support the Jingxiang clan against us? Could it be that he will encourage the Jingxiang clan to serve us? ”

Liu Bei's eyes were full of anticipation, of course. He himself knows how unreliable this expectation is, but Liu Bei's character is like this, he always likes some unrealistic expectations, and he will look forward to them very seriously! Although this kind of character makes people cry and laugh, it is also very touching to some people.

"This is definitely not good, in fact, Fang Zhiwen is complicated and complicated, if he says simple, he is actually very simple, Fang Zhiwen is a character who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, and even many times you can see him as a businessman 1

"Merchant? There is some truth, he always likes to weigh the gains and losses of interests, and he doesn't do things without benefits, so he really looks like a businessman. ”

"That's right! Therefore, we can first see why Fang Zhiwen formed an alliance with the Jingxiang clan for the sake of territory? Or is it for business gain? Or do you have any other demands? ”

Liu Bei's brows furrowed even tighter, Fang Zhiwen is really hard to guess! Liu Bei really didn't want to guess Fang Zhiwen's thoughts, but now he had to guess seriously!

"I think, it should still be commercial interests, if you want to talk about the territory, Fang Zhiwen's territory is really big, Gongyou should also go to see it, Fengning County will not talk about it, Lelang and his newly acquired Yuyang, it is estimated that most of the area is still a deserted place and wild monsters are rampant, so if you want to say that he wants to plot Jingxiang's territory, I absolutely don't believe it."

Sun Qian nodded in agreement: "What the lord said is very true, I don't think he is for the territory, so could it be to help the Yellow Turban Thief, and at the same time interfere with the Lord's attack on the Yellow Turban Thief?" ”

"It's quite possible, and looking at what he did in Jizhou, he seems to be more willing to see us confront the Yellow Turban Thieves for a long time, so that he can profit from it.1

"Yes, my lord is wise! In my opinion, the real purpose of Fang Zhiwen's alliance with the Jingxiang clan is the word 'benefit'! First of all, the Jingxiang area is connected to Shuzhong and Chang'an, Jiangdong and Yangzhou are connected to the north, and the Central Plains is connected to the north. At the same time, he also hoped that Jingzhou would be a divided Jingzhou, so that he could influence the situation in Jingzhou from afar, and seize commercial privileges in the Jingxiang area. ”

Liu Bei nodded vigorously, and unconsciously, Sun Gan's analysis gradually loosened Liu Bei's brows a lot.

Sun Qian raised his chin slightly proudly, and then said: "However, the Jingxiang clan also has its own purpose, that is, to keep Jingxiang's relatively independent status, as well as their vested interests in Jingxiang, therefore, these two groups naturally united, Fang Zhiwen doesn't want territory or power, as long as commercial privileges, and the Jingxiang clan just needs power and territory." ”

"But I can give them the same power and territory.1

"It's different, the lord is like a tiger, and he is by the side of the Jingxiang clan, even if the lord behaves gently, it may not be able to reassure them, and although Fang Zhiwen is also a vicious tiger, he is far away in Youzhou, so long-distance and close attack is the first choice of the Jingxiang clan1

"I see! I have the blessing of the public, you can be worry-free! Now that they know the reason, what is the purpose of their negotiation this time? And how should we respond? ”

Sun Qian stroked his beard and said confidently: "They are here to clarify a problem with the lord, that is, to recognize each other's status, as for what we should do, I want to ask the lord, the lord can have the confidence to attack Xinye and Xiangyang, and can stabilize the overall situation of Jingzhou in a short period of time, not to be taken advantage of by the yellow turban thieves or others, and also, in the future, can Jingzhou be managed in a mess?" ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How is this possible, Gongyou doesn't know, we are self-made in Jingzhou, and it is quite difficult to achieve today's situation, it is impossible to take Xiangyang in a short time, not to mention that there are yellow turban thieves watching on the side, and the families of the Central Plains, I am afraid they will not sit back and watch us collect Jingxiang." ”

Liu Bei sighed in the sky, it is really difficult to do something in this world!

"As for Gongyou's last question, it's impossible to talk about it, how many people can use it now, doesn't Gongyou know, so it's obviously impossible to eat Jingzhou in one bite."

"That's right! Since we can't eat it by force, then we might as well make peace with the Jingxiang clan first, even if it is a buffer measure, in the future, if our strength rises and the Jingxiang clan declines, then we can then threaten to annex, if our development is not as good as the Jingxiang clan, then everything is not mentioned 1

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and understood Sun Gan's thoughts, Sun Gan's meaning was the white wolf with empty gloves, the current advantage is not taken advantage of, how will it develop in the future, in fact, it is still necessary to speak with strength, if there is strength, it will not be Liu Bei's final say at that time, if the strength can suppress Fang Zhiwen, these Jingxiang clans will not be Liu Bei's dish sooner or later.

Liu Bei's face slowly unfolded a smile, the uneasiness and confusion in his heart slowly dissipated, and there was a wonderful feeling of grasping his future, so Liu Bei began to look forward to it again, looking forward to this negotiation to allow him to obtain the greatest benefits.

"My lord, if you want to win more benefits in this meeting, it is best to transfer the second and third generals back to Wancheng 1

Sun Qian's heart moved slightly, and he continued to make a better suggestion to Liu Bei!

"That's right! Right! Transferred back, they need to come back and sit in the town, and put pressure on the Jingxiang clan1

In fact, Liu Bei was worried that when the Jingxiang clan knew that his two righteous brothers were tossing in the Biyang Mountain area, and they would not be able to deal with them at all, he would be very passive in the negotiation.

Moreover, this is also a very good excuse to get the somewhat willful Guan Yu back to Wancheng, in fact, Biyang really has no interests there, but has become a big quagmire, constantly devouring Liu Bei's army and money and food, it is better to give up as soon as possible, the Yellow Turban Thief is now rooted in the mountains, and it is not a matter of a day or two to want to exterminate it.

Liu Bei also began to seriously consider what Sun Gan meant by raising thieves with self-respect, it seems that he can't exterminate the Yellow Turban Thief in one tendon, and if he fights his side, it is actually a fulfillment of Zhu Jun, which is not good for himself at all, it is better to relax and let the Yellow Turban Thief deal with Zhu Jun, which is not only beneficial to himself, but also to the Son of Heaven!

That's right, this time we must resolutely give up Biyang!

Sun Gan nodded with satisfaction, as a strategist, it must be a thing to be proud of if his lord can accept his opinion, not to mention, Sun Gan is also very satisfied with his analysis and response, Fang Zhiwen doesn't seem to be anything remarkable, it's not easy to see through!
