After dark, the palace was brightly lit and there was a sound of jubilation.

Xu Shu had ordered the rewards of the battalions to be distributed, and the pensions for the casualties were thirty percent more than before, and the soldiers were all happy.

In the lobby, Liu Qi took Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu to attend and introduced them to the generals, and everyone saw that Zhuge Liang lived above Xu Shu, and they were dissatisfied.

Liu Qi didn't care, Zhuge Liang at this time was another airborne soldier, and it was inevitable that he would be squeezed out by these subordinates, and it would be redundant to say anything now, and he would use his strength to speak in the future.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Qi encouraged the generals, he couldn't drink, left Xu Shu as a companion, took Zhuge Liang to retire first, and went on a private date.

After the two left, Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Isn't this the eldest prince who came to the door twice and avoided Wolong?" ”

"Exactly!" Xu Shu took in everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "Kong Ming is my best friend, and even he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and he has the trick of getting out of the ghosts, and the generals should not be underestimated, and they should be treated with courtesy." ”

Guan Yu snorted slightly, and Zhang Fei glared and asked, "How is Wolong's ability better than that of a military advisor?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming is very knowledgeable, and he is comparable to my halfway study!" Shu is like the light of fireflies, Kong Ming is the light of the bright moon. ”

Wei Yan sneered coldly with a wine bowl: "The talent of the military advisor, we admire it, although Wolong is a friend of the military advisor, but he can't help but praise it too much?" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "I help the general, like the icing on the cake, but if the general has Kong Ming, it will be like a fish in water!" ”

Gan Ning raised the bowl and laughed: "Dare to love is a parallel import? ”

The generals couldn't stop laughing, but Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, he wanted everyone to respect Zhuge Liang, but who knew that it backfired, so he had to keep silent.

As long as Liu Qi trusts Zhuge Liang enough, with his ability, he will soon impress everyone.

After socializing for a while, Xu Shu came to the backyard alone, the room on the left was still lit, and Yu Banzheng was sitting alone in the room, and the chopsticks on the table did not move.

"I'm really sorry, I just came with a distinguished guest, General Zuo personally accompanied, I can't come to meet with the general, please forgive me."

Yu Ban smiled bitterly: "The prisoner under the stairs, how can you have any extravagant hopes?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "The general's words are wrong!" Hearing that the general was willing to abandon the darkness and serve the Han family, General Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed, but because of his poor health, he couldn't wait, and he didn't mean to be cold. ”

"Really?" Yu Ban was a little surprised, and then sighed: "I don't ask General Liu to reuse, as long as I don't fight against Cao Jun anymore, I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The general misses the old master, and it is normal for people!" In the place of the four battles in Jingzhou, there must be a place for generals. ”

In the backyard study, Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang formally met and had in-depth exchanges.

Liu Qi said: "In the past, the class made an axe and left a picture in the village, what do you think of the current situation, sir?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled: "The general's opinion coincides with me, according to Jingzhou to take Xichuan, build a foundation to become a full force, and then map the Central Plains!" Established planning, what doubts about the husband? ”

Liu Qi sighed: "Although I know the situation, I can't do it." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Why did the general say this? ”

Liu Qi smiled bitterly: "But in the current situation, Cao Cao and I have become a fire and water, and the arrow is ready to be sent." He also has a grudge against the Sun family to kill his father, and Dongwu is eyeing him, and it is difficult to become a full-fledged force! ”

Now Liu Qi is like a student with a standard answer, but there is no process of solving the problem.

Without the answer to the process, the teacher will only give zero points.

The situation of the Three Kingdoms, he naturally understood that he should join forces with Sun to resist Cao and annex Yizhou, but the current situation is very different from Liu Bei, Sun Cao is an enemy, and their primary target is Jingzhou.

Although he won two big victories, as long as the battle with Cao Jun was stalemate, Dongwu would definitely make a move, which was what Liu Qi was most worried about.

Of course, he is confident in the local battlefield, but in the whole situation, he is still passive and disadvantaged, and at this time, he needs someone like Zhuge Liang to coordinate the overall situation.

During the Three Kingdoms period, those who had a strategic vision of the overall situation were only a few people from Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Xun Yu.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Nanyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, it has to be fought, and it is worth fighting. ”

Liu Qi was puzzled: "Cao Cao is powerful, if he fights with him, in the long run, Jingzhou will decline, and Dongwu will definitely take advantage of the weakness, then the general trend has gone, how to talk about breaking the situation?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "In the first battle of Nanyang, the general's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he gained the hearts of the people in one fell swoop. As long as Cao Jun is hit hard, he can knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, deter Sun Wu, Sun Cao is jealous, and the momentum can be achieved! ”

Liu Qi naturally understands this truth, if you want to negotiate with others, you must first have the strength, otherwise who will look at you?

The side with a hard fist is not necessarily reasonable, but only when the fist is hard, others will listen to you and reason.

Liu Qi asked, "Then when will the war end?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "When Cao Cao leads the troops! ”

Liu Qimao paused, clapped his hands and laughed: "Mr. is reasonable, only to let Cao Jun's vitality be greatly injured, Cao Cao is scared, and when he is told not to act rashly, he can act calmly." ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Cao Cao is powerful, this sincerity cannot compete with him, he will be injured if he holds it for a long time, and it should be stopped in moderation!" Sun Quan repeatedly attacked Jiangxia, called revenge, in fact, it was to swallow Jingzhou, if he saw that he could not do anything, he would take advantage of the situation to attack Huainan, and then wait for the opportunity to make friends, Jiangdong is more heroic, there must be people who take care of the overall situation, and are willing to turn war into jade silk. ”

"Sir's words are like seeing the sun through the clouds!" Liu Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "With the help of Mr., why worry about the failure of the great cause and the failure of the Han family?" ”

Now he is just forced by the situation to fight for the sake of fighting, Zhuge Liang is far-sighted, specifies the direction, and then can be calmly deployed.

This is the importance of planning, a small private company, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must have a clear goal, a clear plan, in order to move forward steadily.

There are no eternal enemies on the battlefield, only eternal interests.

As long as he is strong enough, maybe Sun Quan will take the initiative to come to the door to sue for peace one day.

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao, not only in the sky, but also in people." Jingzhou north according to the Han Dynasty, the South China Sea, the east of Wuhui, the west of Bashu, is the place of use, the general occupies the land of advantage, with the virtuous, expand the foundation and wait for the day, then can be invincible. ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and left the table to bow and thank Zhuge Liang again, just this one seat is worth his two trips.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and the two smiled hand in hand, and they were recognized by each other.

The case seats in the Han Dynasty were really troublesome, and it was easy for the legs to be numb after sitting for a long time, and they had to be reformed when they had time.

Liu Qi was slandered in his heart, and after sitting down again, he said: "Xiahou is defeated and leaves, Cao Cao will definitely send troops in person, he knows the strategy, can Mr. have a countermeasure?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said slowly: "Advance is retreat, retreat is advance!" ”

It's really like listening to your words, like listening to a seat!

Liu Qi was guilty in his heart, got up and took the map and spread it on the table, with a modest face: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

The two talked with candles in the study, and did not rest until the second half of the night, so they fell asleep in the room and slept together for half the night.
