If you want to attack Xiangyang, even if Liu Bei is ruthless, he doesn't have the operating conditions now.

First, there are too few soldiers.

Now there are only more than 3,000 people under Liu Bei's account, and it is indeed whimsical to want to rely on these people to attack Xiangyang, which is a solid city.

Second, the Xiangyang family disagreed.

Different from the later period of Zhuge Liang's suggestion, the current Liu Bei did not get the support of the Xiangyang family, on the contrary, because Liu Bei took the initiative to marry the Xiangyang family, he was suspicious of Liu Biao.

You must know that whether it is Zhang Xi or Xu Shu, these two are children of poor families, let alone locals, and it is useless for them to say anything.

On the contrary, Zhuge Liang's identity is more special.

Zhuge Liang himself is indeed not a native of Xiangyang, but his uncle Zhuge Xuan has a very good relationship with the Xiangyang family, his brother-in-law is one of the Kuai Qi of the Xiangyang Kuai family, the other is Pang Shanmin of the Xiangyang Pang family, and his own wife is Huang Yueying, the daughter of the Xiangyang Huang family.

And because her mother-in-law is the daughter of Xiangyang Cai, the youngest daughter of Xiangyang Cai's is married to Liu Biao as the main room, from the side of her father-in-law's family, Liu Biao is still Zhuge Liang's cousin-in-law.

The four major families of Jingxiang, Zhuge Liang can all have a relationship.

Zhuge Liang came forward to persuade Liu Bei to attack Xiangyang, which also represented the opinions of some people in the Xiangyang family, or Zhuge Liang was sure to persuade the Xiangyang family to support Liu Bei.

And Liu Biaoxin was mourned, and Cao Bing went south, which was actually the best time for Liu Bei to attack Xiangyang..... It's a pity that Liu Bei didn't listen.

In the romance, Liu Bei can't bear to take away the inheritance of the same sect, but this is somewhat unreasonable, after all, Liu Zhang's foundation, he said that he would take it.

Liu Bei himself is still a warlord in troubled times, and it is impossible not to do it for such a reason.

Liu Bei in history is more reliable, he may feel that Zhuge Liang has not been here for a long time, and he is still unsure of the dynamics of the Xiangyang family, so he does not dare to act easily, for fear of being used by the Xiangyang family.

And the performance of the Xiangyang family later also proved that Liu Bei's concerns were justified - these people surrendered to Cao Cao really fast, so fast that Liu Bei almost didn't react.

As for the later Liu Zhang...... Zhang Song, the local Shujun faction, Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Meng Da and other Dongzhou factions are all secretly connected with Liu Bei, what else does Liu Bei have to scruple about? !

All in all, it is quite unrealistic to persuade Liu Bei to prepare for an attack on Jingzhou now, Zhang Xi mentioned it, and after Xu Shu vetoed it, Zhang Xi didn't insist on anything.

But this incident gave Zhang Xi another inspiration.

Xiangyang can't be attacked, can't Jiangxia be attacked either?!

Because of the complicated relationship between the family, Xiangyang County also supports Liu Biao at present, which is really not easy to do.

But there is only one Huang Zu in Jiangxia County now...... It's the chassis of the Huang family in Xiangyang.

And there is also a benefit to attacking Jiangxia.

First of all, although Liu Biao will be disgusting, he will not say anything, after all, Huang Zu makes Liu Biao more disgusting than Liu Bei.

The Huang family is a big family in Xiangyang, and Liu Biao really can't do anything about Huang Zu. But Liu Bei is only a guest army, relatively speaking, if Liu Bei masters Jiangxia, Liu Biao may not object.

Secondly, the complete Jiangxia County can be a large county, leading 14 counties: Xiling, Jingling, Xiyang, Yi, Qi, Hubei, Anlu, Shaxian, Qichun, Yan, Yundu, Xiapheasant, Pingchun County, Nanxin City and County.

Isn't this better than sitting in a small county in Xinye?!

In the end, if it was really as the history books said, Cao Cao went south, Liu Biao died, and the Jingxiang family didn't even tell Liu Bei the news...... At least Liu Bei doesn't have to cross the river with his people, and he can travel twenty miles a day. At that time, Jiangxia would send troops directly up the Han River to respond, and he would not be afraid of the thousands of tigers and leopards to ride.

Of course, the last reason Zhang Xi would not explain to Xu Shu, only that if Jiangxia County was taken, Liu Bei would have room for development.

Xu Shu listened to Zhang Xi's analysis, pondered it carefully for a long time, and still felt that it was not feasible.

"Liu Jingsheng asked the lord to garrison Xinye, in order to prevent Cao Cao, how could he allow the lord to attack Jiangxia?! This is one. ”

"Jiangxia is the land of Jingxiang Huangzu, although Huangzu is violent, but he is a big family, Liu Jingsheng is a general, if the lord attacks Jiangxia, it is not a way of hospitality. This is two. ”

"Jiangxia is in the southeast of Jingzhou, far away from Xinye, and it can't be connected together, which is a big taboo for this soldier. This is three. ”

"Jiangxia is connected to the Lujiang River in the east and Poyang in the south, all of which are the land of Jiangdong Sun Quan, and Jiangdong Sun Quan has long wanted to get Jiangxia, if the lord takes it, I am afraid that Liu Jingsheng will not like it, and he will make enemies of Jiangdong, which is the fourth also."

"With these four, Jiangxia is not advisable!"

Well, that's the truth.

But right......

"If Jiangdong attacks Jiangxia, and Huang Zu can't defend it...... The lord took advantage of the situation to help the war, can it?! ”

"Liu Jingsheng doesn't like Huang Zu, and he also wants to collect taxes from Jiangxia, if the lord wins Jiangdong, he will promote Liu Jingsheng's eldest son Liu Qi as Jiangxia's Taishou, and the lord is still stationed in Xinye, Liu Jingsheng doesn't want to?!"

"Jiangdong has wanted to peep at Jingzhou for a long time, even if the lord doesn't make trouble with Jiangdong, will Jiangdong give up Jingzhou? ! So, why worry?! ”

Xu Shu still shook his head, because there were still several problems that could not be solved.

"First, Jiangdong took advantage of the situation to attack Jiangxia two years ago, and although he won, he could not break Jiangxia in the end, but turned to the general Ling Cao. Even if Jiangdong kills Huang Zu again, how do you know that Huang Zu can't defend it?! ”

Well, because Ling Tong Zhou Tai was awesome, he fought his way out of the bloody way, and Zhou Yu commanded it properly and followed up in time...... Hawkers, you can't say that, it's too advanced.

"Second, the Jingxiang Huang family is a big family, and it is good with the lord, if the lord takes Jiangxia, how should he treat Huang Zu, and how should he appease the Jingxiang Huang family?!"

Well, you recommended it a little earlier, and let our lord work hard, and it would be good to go to the thatched house as soon as possible to invite Zhuge Liang.

"Third, the son-in-law Liu Qi is the Taishou of Jiangxia, how to make the son-in-law Liu Qi and the lord of the same heart?!"

This is it...... In fact, Liu Qi's current situation is not easy, without the support of the Jingxiang family, especially the Cai Kuai family, he, the eldest son of Liu Biao, is not having a good life, and he also needs foreign aid.

Zhang Xi thought for a while and decided to start with Liu Qi's situation.

"Although the son Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Jingsheng, the current Liu Jingsheng's main room is the Cai family, and the son Liu Qi was born in the front room...... If Liu Jingsheng is a hundred years later, who can be the lord of Jingzhou?! ”

According to the clan etiquette of these years, Liu Qi's current situation can be said to be Liu Biao's eldest son, but it can also be said that it is not.

Liu Biao is a family of Jingxiang, especially the Cai Kuai family was pushed to the position of the lord of Jingxiang together, and the Cai Kuai family certainly hopes that the future lord of Jingzhou is the one who can guarantee their interests.

The first choice, of course, is the current Mrs. Cai's son Liu Cong, after all, this is his own person, and even from Mrs. Cai's side, he is Liu Biao's eldest son.

Of course, if it really doesn't work, Cao Cao in the north, these Jingxiang families can't be considered.

Lu Su has a saying that is very right, these people can still "not lose the position of the state and county" after surrendering, so what kind of resistance do they have?!

As for Liu Qi...... What kind of green onion is he?!

And Liu Biao actually can't help it.

Although Liu Biao's own ability and skills are not bad, and he has also controlled some of Jingzhou's voice over the years, he has been restrained by the local family after all.

He himself has to rely on the strength of the Jingzhou family to maintain his rule, how can he care about what a son thinks.

So Liu Qi's situation has not been good in recent years, no one is close to him, and the relationship between his old father and himself has become more and more estranged...... Unless Liu Qi wants to eat and wait for death, it is absolutely impossible to sit still.

To say that Liu Qi has no idea about the position of the lord of Jingzhou is nonsense.

So now Liu Qi urgently needs a way to break the situation, and when he can't find an ally internally, he looks out, and there happens to be an "uncle" who has a great reputation and is still very benevolent...... He Liu Qi didn't have a choice.

"As for the Huang family...... The person who is sought by the great family may not be the head of the land, nor may he be unpersuadable. The lord is good to the Huang family, and I heard that the son-in-law of the Huang family is known as Wolong, and he has an old relationship with Brother Yuan, why not recommend Brother Yuan to the lord and invite him to serve under the lord, isn't it a good story? ! ”

That's pretty straightforward.

To be honest, Zhang Xida made up his mind to talk to Liu Bei, and he thought about asking Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain in advance.

But, there was no chance.

If you want to recommend someone this year, you have to have a relationship and a connection...... It's not like you can search for it in the game.

Zhuge Liang's identity relationship is there, and it is destined that he will not be like Zhang Xi, and he will go to the recruitment hall for an interview, and someone must recommend him.

It's not that Liu Bei has to ask for it, but if Liu Bei rashly says that he wants to conquer Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang may not really agree.

In the past, Zhang Xi didn't have a chance, but now there is Xu Shu.

And Xu Shu...... Somewhat hesitant.

People always have some selfish intentions.

Now, Liu Bei has no one around him, and he has been reused as soon as he comes, and he is about to show his strength...... Recommend Zhuge Liang?!

To be honest, Xu Shu was not very happy.

Because Xu Shu knows the gap between himself and Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang comes, he can only let Xian, otherwise, whether it is conscience or ability, he will not be able to get by.

But, who wants to be the second-in-command of the department because of the improper number one in the department?!

Moreover, although the last two things that Zhang Xi said were barely solved, the first one was still a problem.

"Still not. The war is changeable, and the affairs of Jiangxia, how can we all know about it in Xinye...... If Jiangdong can't defeat Huang Zu, where will it go?! Xu Shu asked.

The premise of all Zhang Xi's plans is that Huang Zu can't hold Jiangxia...... Not to mention the loss of territory, at least it will have to be defeated, to the extent that it is unable to hinder Liu Biao's interference in Jiangxia affairs.

Zhang Xi smiled at this and said, "How can you know everything about the world?!" As strategists, we just think more about the lord, so as not to panic and be at a loss when things happen. ”

There is really no way to do this, and Zhang Xi can't tell Xu Shu that in the future, Huang Zu will not only be defeated, but also killed, and most of Jiangxia will be taken by Dongwu at that time.

This is not the result that Zhang Xi wants, so he will think about preparing early.

But these things have really not happened yet, and Xinye is indeed far away from Jiangxia, according to the message transmission rate of this year, unless you prepare early, there is no way to deal with it.

Zhang Xi's words, Xu Shu still nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, that Huang Zu is no longer what it used to be, and he used to be able to be a virtuous corporal, but now he is becoming more and more arrogant. You Heng is a famous man in the world, Cao Cao still didn't dare to kill him, he said kill it...... Such a person, guarding the land of Jiangxia, will be lost after a long time. Now I can't wait to prepare early, and after Huang Zu's defeat in the future, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to intervene. ”

Well...... I have to say that Xu Shu was a little hesitant.
