After the banquet in the middle of the court at noon, Liu Bei said goodbye and left the palace. When today's son Liu Wei was sent to the palace gate, the saint was extremely favored. It is the envy of hundreds of officials.

He originally had a good appearance, his face was red after drinking, and he was sitting on Lu Ma with both swords on his waist and hips, which looked even more heroic. All the way, the people in Luoyang City rushed to watch. Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, and he was quite proud in his heart.

The eldest husband is born in the world, it should be like this!

When they arrived at the door of the pavilion, they saw that the second brother Guan Yu and the military advisor Zhuge Liang had already greeted each other at the door.

Liu Bei immediately threw the stirrups off the saddle and dismounted, and walked forward quickly to greet the two.

"Haha, there is the second brother Lao and the military advisor who have been waiting for a long time."

"Brother, I don't know how to face the saint today?" Guan Yu saw that his brother's face was beaming. I was also happy in my heart, and when I went to the door, I hurriedly inquired.

"Today's face is sage, by the Son of Heaven Longen, when the dynasty awarded the post of General of the Left of the Protector of the Country, this time you can hold the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and drive the expedition on your behalf! Not only that, but today's son will also enter the name of the preparation into the clan, and call him an imperial uncle. From this day on, I will return to my ancestors. ”

"Oh! Congratulations so much, brother! When Guan Yu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. His righteous brother has been adrift for many years, and he is half down. Long-term sending people under the fence. Now not only has Xuzhou as the foundation, but also has the title of Chrysostom, the son of heaven. It's kind of a boil out.

Liu Bei was full of happiness and told the details of his entry into the court, but he saw the military advisor Zhuge Liang's feather fan shaking lightly, smiling at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't speak. I can't help but feel a pang in my heart. I know that this military advisor is a genius in the world, but is there a deep meaning in his behavior?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Bei stood still and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Today is Liu Bei's big day, why is the military advisor smiling and silent?"

"Is the lord happy?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard Zhuge Liang ask.

"Why did the military advisor know about the advisor. Prepare for the half of the horse, but there has never been a day that can be more joyful than this time. ”

"I don't know where the lord's happiness comes from?"

Zhuge Liang's face suddenly straightened, his eyes stared at Liu Bei, and he asked again.

"This?" Liu Bei's mind became more and more confused, and he didn't know how to answer. After thinking about it for a while, he hurriedly restrained his smile and waved at Zhuge Liang.

"Please also ask the military advisor to teach me."

Zhuge Liang's eyes swept away Liu Bei, who was sincerely frightened, and Guan Yu, who was twisting his long beard on the side. Turning and walking into the house, he took a map from the bookshelf and unfolded it on the desk. Liu Bei and Guan Yu glanced at each other, hurriedly followed quickly, and sat in front of the desk to watch the picture.

I saw that on this geographical map of the world, a few places had already been circled with a red pen. Label with different names.

After Liang entered Luoyang, he sent people to inquire around. For example, I have an understanding of the situation today. He also made a hexagram and verified it. I used this picture, marked it down, and waited for the lord to come back and take a look! ”

Liu Bei looked carefully at the map, and saw that the land of Hebei was marked with a Cao character instead of Yuan Shao, and Liaodong and Northwest China were not indicated. But it seems to be a force of its own, and I don't know who it belongs to. The six counties south of the Yangtze River and Jiangdong are annotated with a Sun character, and it is not difficult to guess from the literal sense that it should be the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian Sun Wentai. The largest area is not the above two places, but covers an extremely wide area including Jingxiang Nine Counties, Nanzhong, and Xichuan!

The Xuzhou he occupies, compared with the above places, although it is a prosperous place, it is the smallest piece of the region. And in the cracks, there is a danger of being attacked on both sides at any time!

"Shhh Liu Bei gasped, most of the wine was gone, and he hurriedly asked.

"But I don't know who owns this southwestern piece, and why does it monopolize such a large area?"

"Before he came out of the mountain, he had calculated the fortune of the world. The Han family has exhausted its qi, and the world is bound to be in chaos. After a long time, it will inevitably be divided into three parts! ”

"One of them is to take Henan and Hebei, east of Beihai, Liaodong, west of Chang'an, Tianshui. This place is where the foundation of the ancient emperors is located. Whoever can dominate this place, half of the world's luck is already in the bag! ”

"Second, it is the six counties of Jiangdong, the land of fish and rice. If it can be used as the foundation, there is a natural risk of the Yangtze River in the north, and there are many mountains in the west, so it can be ruled by dividing the river with the north! ”

"The third is the land of Jingxiang Bashu, originally these two places were separated, and either place was in a corner, not enough to sit and watch the world. If you connect them together and take the land in the south as a backup, it is enough to compete with the above two places!

"Sichuan is rich, not losing Jiangnan, and only one general will be in Jingzhou, so that Jiangdong will not dare to peep. You can lead the army to turn over the Sword Pavilion, go out of Qishan, go to Hanzhong, cross Tianshui, and hit Chang'an! Just take the northwest land, and then send an army down the river, and attack Henan and Hebei on both sides, once the thing can be done, as long as the Central Plains is occupied, the world can be determined! ”

"Alas! Ryo originally wanted to use this as a plan. When the lord's power was first established, he went south and took this Jingxiang Bashu as the foundation. But I didn't want to be the first to get there. ”

"Do you know who did this?" Liu Bei looked at the large piece of land circled by the red pen on the map, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly asked each other.

Speaking of this person, the lord must be no stranger. It is the left general of the current dynasty to protect the country, Jingnan Marquis Zhou Qi! ”

"Zhou Qi!" When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, they were all surprised. The name is certainly not unfamiliar. Zhou Qi, who was a sword flat yellow scarf in Jizhou City, how could they not know. What really shocked the two was that they didn't expect that after only two months, the original grass people already had the qualifications to sit and watch the sky sink and fall!

"Looking at this picture, does the lord still feel happy?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he sat down. The little pride that had been a little bit earlier flew out of the clouds, and I didn't know where to go. How is this southwest territory not its own? Zhou Qi! Why this person again?

When the three of them were discussing in the house, there was a rumor outside the hall that someone asked to see them.

Liu Bei cleaned up his mood and went out to take a look, only to see that the person who came was an important minister of the court and the central government he had seen today, and he consulted the doctor Xia Mou, and hurriedly stepped forward. Invite each other into the house to talk.

When the two sides sat down in the middle hall, the attendant poured tea and soup. Xia Mu's eyes swept left and right, and he coughed lightly. Liu Bei understood and waved his hand to let the attendant retreat.

"I wonder what the doctor is going to do?" Liu Bei watched Xia Mu's actions, afraid that he had a secret to tell him, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked.

"Xia came to see Uncle Huang, and he really has something important to tell him! Liu Envoy Jun went to the court today, but how is the weather in the DPRK and China? ”

"This!" Liu Bei didn't know how to answer when he heard this. Today, he saw with his own eyes that the Empress Dowager He hung the curtain, He Jin took charge of the power of the court, and even he, the right general, was still drafted by He Koukou. Today, although Zi Gui is the co-owner of the world, he is actually a puppet.

"The envoy has already seen that the He brothers and sisters are now in control of the government and are autocratic. is so arbitrary and arbitrary, the foundation of the Han family will inevitably be destroyed in the hands of the two of them in the long run! This time, God blessed our dynasty and made you lead troops to come. When Yuan Shao conquered Hebei and had no time to take care of the DPRK, he would remove this great harm for the world! ”

"What!" Liu Bei was startled when he heard this. Hearing the rumors, the case was taken. "Didn't Lord Xia let Liu Bei do that rebellion?"

"Definitely! Liu Yuanjun was a little calm. Xia is loyal to the Han family, this heart can be expressed, how can he persuade the king to act like a disobedient person? To tell the truth, Xia has a nephew Tian who is on an errand in the palace. It is rumored to me that the Empress Dowager He actually defiled the court and had affairs with people many times. This matter is true, I came to see the envoy today, I wanted to invite the envoy to clear the king's side together, except for the two brothers and sisters of He Jin, and return to the government of His Majesty, so as to set the record straight! ”

"Doctor Xia's words have evidence, don't be hearsay!"

"It's true, and the person who had an affair with Empress Dowager He has asked carefully, it is that Jingnan Marquis Zhou Qi!"

"Zhou Qi!" When Liu Bei heard this, he felt a knock in his heart! How is this person again! He actually had an affair with the Queen Mother! When I heard the name of Zhou Qi at first glance, I instantly thought of the vast land in the southwest, and I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart. If this is true, then I will go to crusade in the name of righteousness, wouldn't I be able to take advantage of the situation to take this great foundation for myself!

"Doctor's words are important, and you should think twice."

"Liu Yuanjun, this matter must not be delayed, Xia heard that He Jin has sent a letter ordering Zhou Qi to go north to help Yuan Shao, and in a few days, this person will inevitably bring troops here. If you don't take this opportunity to get rid of the He brothers and sisters first, when Zhou Qi arrives, it will be too late. ”

"If the king makes a move at this moment, once he returns to the Son of Heaven, he will be able to make the emperor's uncle, but if there is an order, the civil and military officials will not obey. At that time, he only needs to raise his arms and exhale, thinking that Zhou Qifei is a person with three heads and six arms, how can he resist the crowd rising up and attacking? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.

"Lord Xia's meaning, Bei already knows. Prepare to think about it tonight, how about answering tomorrow? ”

Xia Mu saw that Liu Bei had clearly moved, and knew that if he pushed too hard, it would be counterproductive. He immediately got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Xia Mu left, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu turned around and walked out from behind the screen.

What this person said just now, Liang had already heard. Does the Lord really intend to do what this man says? ”

Liu Bei looked up at Zhuge Liang's wise eyes and nodded slowly.

"Please also ask the lord to think twice about this matter, once this move is done, the lord will be evil with that Zhou Qi, watch his actions, if this great enemy is erected at this time, once it cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop, it will become a big disaster in the future!"

"The military advisor should grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige! Regarding a certain person who follows my brother around, who in the world dares to be unfavorable to my brother? Guan Yu stroked his long hair, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and his expression was proud.

In this way, Liang didn't say more, as Xia Mu said, this matter should be decided as soon as possible. The lord and think carefully. Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly. Get up and walk out of the house and look up at the sky.

"Lord, lord, if Liang doesn't want to say it clearly, it is really a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed, this Zhou Qi is not in the number of fate, the troubled times are because of him, and his person is a fierce star descending into the world, at this moment you are fledgling, if you are an enemy with it, it is really unwise."

It was night, in a peaceful and peaceful situation, the dark tide in Luoyang City was surging.

At this time, there are still 5 full days left before the end of the second phase of the Contractors' mission!
