The Hanzhong Military Conference was a large military conference personally presided over by Liu Bei.

In addition to Liu Bei, the participants also included Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Huang Quan, Xu Shu, Zhang Xi, Zhuge Liang and others.

These people, except for Guan Yu, who can't leave, basically include the top talents in Liu Bei's group, both civil and military.

And their respective positions are also more complicated, there are Yuancong faction, Jingzhou faction, Dongzhou faction, and beneficial state local faction. There are people who have any position.

The first topic of the meeting was to discuss the issue of the alliance between Jiangdong and Sun and Liu.

Now the messenger of the family, Zhuge Jin, has been in Hanzhong for almost two months, and there must be an explanation that it is not.

Zhuge Jin also fell into blood mold, just because he was Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, so he did all this kind of troublesome errands.

Last time, Sun Quan came to ask Liu Bei to ask for the two counties of Jingnan was him, but now Sun Quan can't be stabbed in the back, and he is still the one who sent the envoy to sue for peace.

There is one thing to say, the last time I came to ask for the two counties of Jingnan, Zhuge Jin was still confident. After all, there is an appointment in advance, and it is Liu Bei's fault that he drags it out and doesn't give it, and he Zhuge Jin doesn't feel short of breath.

But this time, Zhuge Jin didn't know what to say.

It's not impossible for you to betray the alliance, but at least you have to make some achievements, so that I can negotiate, maybe the waist can be a little straighter. You didn't do anything with your lost soldiers, and in the end you had to be cheeky to sue for peace, and no one's waist could stand up.

Zhuge Jin was ordered to set off from Jiangdong, and did not go directly to Hanzhong to see Liu Bei, but went to Chengdu first to find his younger brother Zhuge Liang, and wanted Zhuge Liang to come forward and help say good things.

To be honest, Zhuge Jin didn't know that Zhuge Liang wanted to avoid suspicion in this matter, but now there is no way, isn't there no way? !

If Dongwu wins, Zhuge Jin may not really come to find this younger brother, and it is difficult for the younger brother of the province to do it, but isn't this a defeat?!

Everyone knows the weight of Zhuge Liang in front of Liu Bei, isn't it because Sun Quan values the brotherhood between Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, if his younger brother doesn't help to persuade him, then this peace will definitely not be successful.

But Zhuge Jin didn't see Zhuge Liang after all, because Zhuge Liang's house was closed, and he only sent a servant to see Zhuge Jin, saying something "ashamed to see people". Zhuge Jin was half dead in anger.

It's not like that, right!!

But Zhuge Jin also took this opportunity to know Zhuge Liang's attitude, and Zhuge Liang was really not good at interjecting.

After all, although the Sun-Liu Alliance was led by Lu Su at the beginning, it was also facilitated by Zhuge Liang, which can be regarded as Zhuge Liang's political achievements.

But now Jiangdong's sneak attack on Jingzhou is tantamount to directly denying Zhuge Liang's political merits, how can Zhuge Liang still have the face to tell Liu Bei, we still have to continue to form an alliance with Jiangdong?!

In this way, if you are not selfish, you will become selfish, not to mention, this time the messenger of Jiangdong is Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin. At this time, Zhuge Liang was suspected of favoritism and fraud in everything he said.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang simply did not see anyone, and at the same time, Zhuge Liang also believed that with his brother's intelligence, he should understand what he meant.

In this matter, the real breakthrough was never on Zhuge Liang, but on Liu Bei.

Can Zhuge Jin not know this?!

Isn't he trying to play the emotional card, maybe it can be of some use? Now that his younger brother is like this, what can Zhuge Jin do?!

Bite the bullet and go to Hanzhong to see Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei is not so easy to see.

After all, it is Jiangdong who betrays the alliance, even if he does not capture any of Liu Bei's territory, but over the years, Jiangdong has done it to himself at every turn, and Liu Bei is also very popular.

Therefore, Liu Bei used the excuse that he was busy with military affairs and directly hung Zhuge Jin for a month.

In the end, it really couldn't be dragged on, so Liu Bei met Zhuge Jin.

Then Zhuge Jin's rhetoric made Liu Bei angry again.

Zhuge Jin claimed that Jiangdong did not betray the alliance this time, but because Cao Cao coerced the power of the Son of Heaven and gave Jiangdong the edict of the Son of Heaven, and Jiangdong did not dare to refuse.

But the alliance between the two families is good, and Jiangdong does not dare to forget.

Therefore, although Jiangdong sent troops, it surrounded the public security but did not resist, blocked Jiangling but did not attack, and after the news of the troops reached the north, he immediately collected his troops and returned to the camp, and there was no intention of betraying the alliance, and there was no idea of coveting Jingzhou.

Now that Jiangdong has collected troops on all fronts, Sun Quan was afraid that Liu Bei would misunderstand, so he specially sent Zhuge Jin to explain, asking Liu Bei to understand Jiangdong's dilemma and not hurt the harmony of the two families.

Listen, listen, this is human language?!

What does it mean to besiege the public security and not to give up?!

Who is the person who sent people to incite Liu Zhang's internal and external cooperation?!

If it weren't for Wenpin's insistence on public security, Zhang Ren understood the righteousness and didn't give you a chance in Jiangdong, would you not want to conquer the public security? !

It's even funnier to block Jiangling without attacking it, whose corpses are the soldiers under the city?!

If Wang Ji hadn't burned your grain and grass and forced you to retreat, I'm afraid your Jiangdong would still be attacking Jiangling now.

Seriously, you Sun Quan Danfan is a little bold, that is, admit that you want Jingzhou but haven't fought it, then I, Liu Bei, can still look down on you. Right now?! Just relying on your rhetoric, I want to gently expose this matter?!

There are no doors.

Liu Bei was furious on the spot, and directly blasted Zhuge Jin out of his temporary mansion without giving any face.

Zhuge Jin was numb.

knew that this matter was difficult to do, but now that it was so unsympathetic, Zhuge Jin was quite faceless.

But Zhuge Jin can't just leave, after all, Zhuge Jin himself is not here to negotiate, he is simply here to seek peace, so he has to find a way to try again.

And Zhuge Jin doesn't understand, his own lord has lost, why do you have to talk about this kind of face-saving rhetoric, isn't it good to go directly to dry goods? !

Therefore, Zhuge Jin waited for a while, during which he visited some high-level people of Liu Bei's group, and at the same time, after Liu Bei calmed down, he proposed a second meeting again.

The second time they met, Zhuge Jin did not insist on the obviously foolish rhetoric given by Sun Quan, but according to his own ideas and Zhou Yu's entrustment before coming, he seriously analyzed the current situation for Liu Bei.

First, although Liu Bei now occupies Hanzhong, and Jingzhou also reoccupies Xiangfan, it has not changed much in the situation in the world. In this case, does Liu Bei have to have a grudge with Jiangdong?!

Second, Hanzhong and Jingzhou have fought many times, and now Liu Beijun's grain and grass reserves should have reached the limit, and does he still have the ability to start a war again? !

Third, if Liu Bei has to go to war without a strong enough naval army, is there any absolute certainty that he will be able to defeat Jiangdong in one battle? ! Once you can't win Jiangdong, you will be dragged into a stalemate by Jiangdong, what if Cao Cao leads troops to attack again? !

Fourth, if Liu Bei must turn his face, Jiangdong is not afraid, it's a big deal for me to turn around and form an alliance with Cao Cao, anyway, we don't have the same concerns as you Liu Bei, "Han and thief don't stand together", at that time, my Jiangdong will not be better, but your Liu Bei's life will only be more uncomfortable.

Don't say it, when Zhuge Jin put aside the obviously foolish rhetoric, the words he said, although they didn't necessarily make Liu Bei feel embarrassed, but every sentence made Liu Bei feel disgusting.

This Jiangdong really doesn't want any face.

And Liu Bei's disgusting thing is that although Jiangdong is shameless, what people say is the truth.

Once he really completely turns his face with Jiangdong, then even if Liu Bei does not take the initiative to attack Jiangdong, he must at least arrange a part of the troops to contain Jiangdong, which is quite unfavorable for the Northern Expedition to attack Cao Cao in the future.

After all, Liu Bei's place is small and his troops are small, so he can't withstand too scattered distribution.

What's more serious is that if Jiangdong really fell to Cao Wei regardless of decency, then it would be difficult for Liu Bei to persist in confronting the two forces with his current strength.

Jiangdong's navy is difficult, although the enterprising is insufficient, but self-protection is more than enough, Liu Bei is really not sure that Jiangdong can be decided in a battle, once he is entangled with Jiangdong, I am afraid that the happiest person is still Cao Cao.

Therefore, Liu Bei really hesitated.

The current Liu Bei is different from the Liu Bei in history who lost Jingzhou and lost Guan Yu. The current Liu Bei, except for some casualties and the loss of money and food, has not lost a city or a place at all.

In other words, the current Liu Bei and Sun Quan are either mortal enemies, and they are the same as the conflict in the Battle of Jingnan a few years ago.

At least two counties were lost that time, but this time not a single piece of land was lost.

In the end, the result of the battle of Jingnan was not the demarcation of Xiangshui and the re-establishment of the alliance. The consequences this time are not as serious as last time, so why can't they realign themselves.

But there's still a face problem in it.

Your Sun Quan attacked me Jingzhou three times and twice, do you think that I Liu Bei is easy to bully?!

Last time, it could be said that I didn't fulfill what I promised, and I was at fault, but this time, it's basically your betrayal, right?!

Last time, I took care of the loss, and finally lost two counties to you, this time you are at a loss, do you want to fool this matter just by relying on a few words?!

How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?!

If I was fooled so easily, what should the people of the world think of me Liu Bei?! Do you think I, Liu Bei, am easy to bully, or do you think I, Liu Bei, am afraid of you Jiangdong?!

This matter is definitely not so easy to uncover.

However, Liu Bei didn't know what kind of price and what kind of means to use to reconcile with Jiangdong decently, and when he couldn't think about it, he said this matter at the military meeting and let everyone express their opinions.

Especially the representatives of the Jingzhou faction, Xu Shu, Zhang Xi, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang, their opinions are very crucial.

Yes, although Zhang Xi himself doesn't know which faction he should be considered in, in the eyes of others, Zhang Xi and Xu Shu can be regarded as people who belong to the Jingzhou faction.

After all, both of them have a pivotal position in Jingzhou.
