When Zhang Xi went home, he had an extra jar of wine on his body.

It's not easy to take, because the wine that Zhang Fei hid was all in that kind of big jar.

Zhang Xi is not a military general like Zhang Fei, he can take a large jar of wine casually, just like a person who has nothing to do..... Zhang Xi worked very hard to move the wine back to his home and handed it over to Xiao Qibao for collection.

In the future, when there are guests at home, Zhang Xi will not always use well water to entertain guests.

As for bribery...... What bribery?!

This belongs to the friendship of the three generals, okay, I can't say anything when I tell the lord Liu Bei.

The atmosphere of these years is like this, even Liu Bei can't control the family to secretly make wine, and usually General Zuo's mansion ushers in and sends wine...... Zhang Fei gave Zhang Xi a jar of wine, but he couldn't say anything anywhere.

went to Zhang Fei's camp the next day, Zhang Fei was still the same as usual, and it didn't seem that yesterday's skirmish affected the relationship between the two.

That's the best outcome, of course.

As for Kou Feng...... This kid finally understands now, he got into trouble yesterday, and subconsciously avoided Zhang Fei, for fear that Zhang Fei would catch some tricks, so he could whip him openly.

By the way, I also complained to Zhang Xi in private, saying something like "my brother is not kind".

Zhang Xi ignored this kid, and on the contrary, warned Kou Feng that next month will be a regular drill in the army, if he doesn't perform well, don't blame him for not having a chance to be promoted in the future Zhang Xi didn't remind him earlier.

It has been almost half a year since the training, and Zhang Xi realized that these soldiers in Zhang Fei's camp would definitely be better than those in other battalions..... Not to mention anything else, looking at the spirit is different.

Now there is not much war, Cao Cao in the north is busy dealing with the two brothers of the Yuan family and Wu Huan, and Xiangyang in the south is still singing and dancing, Liu Biao has no heart to pay attention to Liu Bei.

The military drill is the best opportunity to show your abilities.

Kou Feng was quite concerned about this kind of thing, and when he heard this, he was even more energetic, and he was even more attentive to the training of his battalion sergeants.

Zhang Fei is not as concerned as Kou Feng, after all, he was born in a hundred battles, and he knows the state of his subordinates quite well, and he also knows what ordinary soldiers are like in these years, so he is very confident.

The training plan is there, and the training according to the plan these days is also effective, so Zhang Fei naturally has nothing to worry about.

It's General Zuo's mansion, and Liu Bei is a little worried at this time.

A new strategist was recruited, and the various abilities of this strategist began to be revealed, which really proved Liu Bei's own vision of seeing people again.

And what Liu Bei is worried about is the plan that this "Shan" gentleman proposed to himself.

Xinye City has little grain, and it is not enough to develop in the end, Liu Bei himself knows this.

Mr. "Shan" planned for himself to seek Jiangxia County as a place to live.

Of course, Liu Bei is more aware of all these difficulties than the newcomer Mr. Shan, although he is not ashamed of Jiangxia Huangzu's behavior, he still agrees with his ability.

Therefore, although the two talked in detail for a day and a night, in the end Liu Bei still did not make up his mind, and the matter was put aside for the time being.

But today, Liu Bei received the battle report from Xiangyang, combined with the news from his own intelligence channels, he was a little moved.

In the spring of this year, Cao's army, which was living on the north side of Jiangxia, suddenly invaded Jiangxia County.

Because it was the time of spring sowing, Huang Zu didn't expect that the Cao army would send troops at this time, plus the road from the north to Jiangxia was rugged, and Huang Zu's precautions against the Cao army in the north were not very strict.

Therefore, Zhang Liao, the commander of Cao's army, almost in less than a month, connected Keshu County, and incorporated the three counties of Yan County, Xiyang County, and Qi County in the north of Jiangxia into Cao Cao's territory.

You must know that there are a total of fourteen counties in Jiangxia, and nearly a quarter of them have gone at once...... Liu Biao was furious, and Liu Bei was shocked.

When Mr. "Shan" planned with him, he said that Huang Zu was arrogant and domineering, and he would not be able to defend it for a long time, so let him prepare early.

Liu Bei hesitated at that time, did not make a move, and missed this opportunity in vain.

Of course, Liu Bei still has a lot of concerns, and there are still too many uncertainties in Liu Bei's opinion about seeking Jiangxia...... But this incident did give Liu Bei some ideas and room for maneuver.

For this reason, Liu Bei recruited "Shan Fu" into General Zuo's mansion, and the two of them conspired behind closed doors.

"Shan Fu"'s suggestion is still similar to last time, and he repeatedly suggested that Liu Bei should be able to make things happen in the future, but after all, it is up to people to make preparations.

Liu Bei has two things that he must do at the moment.

First, it is to marry a good Jingxiang family.

Second, it is Liu Qi, the son of the secret pass.

These two things, whether they can plan Jiangxia in the future or not, for the current Liu Bei, what they do is only good, not harmful.

And in case things really change in the future, Liu Bei can also use these two conditions to make trouble, the best result is to indirectly control Jiangxia, and the worst result can also be an ally of the good son Liu Qi.

Liu Bei deeply thought about this.

And at this time, "Shan Fu" was also quite kind, and said Zhang Xi, the proposer of this idea.

If Liu Bei doesn't adopt this matter, it will be his idea of "Shan Fu", and Liu Bei of the province will have any bad thoughts about Zhang Xi.

But if Liu Bei adopts it, then Zhang Xi must have a share of the credit, and his "Shan Fu" is not the kind of person who secretly swallows the credit.

When Liu Bei heard that there was actually Zhang Xi in this...... Slightly surprised.

Zhang Xi is a person, Liu Bei still hasn't seen it too thoroughly.

This person is good at training, whether it is Zhang Fei or Xu Shu, they all praise him.

This person is also good at handling general military affairs, not to mention that he can easily come to him, but he can also be well organized.

Now there is still the ability to strategize..... Liu Bei couldn't help but be surprised.

Although the matter of attacking Jiangxia is unreliable, it is a bit of a sitting and empty talk.

Liu Bei is in the north of Jingzhou, but Zhang Xi let himself find a way to plan the east of Jingzhou, and there are two Jingxiangzhong counties in between, Xiangyang and Nanjun, what are you fooling about.

Even if it is to use Gongzi Liu Qi to control Jiangxia remotely..... There are too many variables in this, and there is no guarantee that Gongzi Liu Qi has no other ideas.

But the idea of planning ahead still shows that this person has a certain ability.

Although it is a bit of a suspicion of empty talk, after a few years of practice, it cannot be said that he is a good strategist.

Liu Bei's sense of Zhang Xi is getting better and better now, but he didn't immediately reuse his meaning, thinking that Zhang Xi still needs to be polished, so it is better to let him follow Zhang Fei and temper himself in the army.

Another one, Zhang Xi is already Cao Peng, a soldier of General Zuo's Mansion, and then it is the position of Changshi or Sima...... This kind of position of the second-in-command is impossible to give Zhang Xi.

Therefore, Liu Bei planned to let go of Zhang Xi's matter for the time being, but he was very concerned about Shan Fu's proposal to marry the Huang family in Jingzhou and recruit Zhuge Liang, the son-in-law of the Huang family, out of the mountain.

Originally, Liu Bei planned to say hello to the Huang family first, and then recruit Zhuge Liang with a piece of paper..... But Shan Fu objected.

"This man's talent is not comparable. Fubi is like a horse and a unicorn, and a jackdaw is a phoenix. If the lord wants to get Kong Ming, he can only see each other, but he can't give in. ”

Liu Bei heard Shan Fu boast of Zhuge Liang's...... Hurry up and thank you.

This is just a courtesy, and for Shan Fu's gratitude for recommending talents, it is not that Liu Bei immediately believed in how powerful Zhuge Liang was.

The literati of these years basically praised each other, and Liu Bei knew something.

But Shan Fu belittled himself so much and touted the way others recommended him, Liu Bei really hadn't seen it.

Shan Fu's ability, Liu Bei is already relatively well understood.

Compared with Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and other scribes under their own accounts, they have the ability to Shan Fu, and the ability they don't have, Shan Fu still has it.

The most commendable thing is that Shan Fu not only has a balanced ability in all aspects, but also has an ability that other strategists under his command do not have - strategic vision.

He proposed to Liu Bei early that Xinye should not be kept for a long time, and should be found to develop elsewhere.

Liu Bei has always had this idea, but because of the lack of strength under the fence, there has been no better way, so he can only hide it in his heart.

And the original advisers under Liu Bei's account, where is Liu Bei, they help to find a way to develop which place, they can do this very well...... But no one has ever thought about whether this place is suitable for Liu Bei's development.

Now that he has Shan Fu, Liu Bei seems to have found someone who can confide in his heart, which makes Liu Bei quite happy and satisfied.

But now Mr. Shan Fu told him that not far from here, there was a stronger talent in Wollongong...... Of course Liu Bei will be moved.

It's just that Liu Bei still has a question mark, feeling that Mr. Shan Fu is somewhat exaggerated.

But if he can find a strategist with similar abilities as Mr. Shan Fu, it will also be a great thing for Liu Bei.

These years of displacement have made Liu Bei suffer enough from having no reliable strategists.

In the years when Xuchang and Yecheng were mixed, Liu Bei also saw the help of top strategists to the lord...... Whether it is Xun Yu, Guo Jia, or Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, or even a little bit of Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Guo Tu, Xu You and others, it also makes Liu Bei quite greedy.

Now Liu Bei's desire for this kind of top strategist is unprecedented.

Therefore, Liu Bei planned to find a special time to officially visit this Mr. Wolong.
