"The general praised falsely, according to the previous deduction, the world should go to the three-point momentum, but Sun Quan's actions were too unexpected, so that the situation became chaotic, so the countermeasures were adjusted"

"Three points of the world? Please sir, please give me advice. ”

Liu Bei sincerely asked for advice, and Zhuge Liang said calmly:

"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and even Yuan Shao was defeated twice, and he was the leader of the world; Sun Quan succeeded his father and brother to build a foundation in Jiangdong, if he could repair the political affairs internally and connect the princes externally, there should be one of the three parts of the world; In the end, there is a general left, Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng is old, the eldest son Liu Qi is not the master of the business, this place is not a general can not defend it, Yizhou in the west of Jingzhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, and it is also the place where the general is established"

"Jingzhou, Yizhou."

Liu Bei couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said with a serious face: "Mr. said before that he would take Handong and seek Guanzhong, either it was a borderless land or controlled by Cao thieves, and Liu Jingsheng and Liu Jiyu were both the same clan of the Liu family, so they were prepared to endure and take away their inheritance?" ”

"As the so-called heaven gives the Buddha to take, he will be blamed, and the land of the god will be given to the general, how can he not take it? Originally, it was safer to take Jingzhou and Yizhou first, but the situation in the world has changed, and it is too slow to take Guanzhong and Yingtianzi in three points, although it is slightly radical to take Guanzhong and Yingtianzi, but it can occupy the righteousness in advance, and the opportunity to revive the Han family is greater. ”

Liu Bei asked: "Mr. just mentioned Sun Quan, saying that he acted unexpectedly, so that the situation was chaotic, I don't know what to explain?" ”

"Sun Quan's succession to the throne is not stable, he should spend energy to stabilize the rear, deal with the counties and counties that are not satisfied, and the rebellion, and should never challenge Cao Cao who can defeat Yuan Shao before he is fledgling, even if he can get lucky to capture Shouchun City, he does not have the strength to capture Xudu, he thinks about chasing the Central Plains too simply."

Zhuge Liang replied and added: "Sun Quan made this stupid move, someone must have instigated it, but even Xiahoudun didn't take it, and the use of troops really can't be complimented."

"Instigation? I heard that Sun Ce was entrusted with Zhang Zhao to assist the government, and Sun Ce was handed over to Zhou Yu to lead the army to the king of Qin, these two people were in charge of the military and government of Jiangdong, they should not be mediocre, how could Sun Quan be allowed to act recklessly? ”

Seeing Liu Bei's puzzled face, Zhuge Liang shook his head and explained: "According to the analysis of my friends in Jiangdong, the planner is not a Jiangdong courtier, but Lu Su, the chief secretary of Hefei Longxiang. ”

In this matter, Liu Ye had told Liu Bei before that he knew that it was Long Xiang who used Sun Quan to contain Cao Cao.

Since Zhuge Liang hadn't come out of the mountain at this time, Liu Bei couldn't tell the inside story of Hefei, so he started haha: "So that's the case?" Sun Quan dares to use outsiders' strategies, so Lu Su should not be simple. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement: "Isn't it simple to stop Lu Su? Hefei Longxiang is not simple, I seriously doubt that Sun Quan went north and Cao Cao went south, everything was Longxiang's plan. ”

"How so?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Guan Zhang, and said in his heart that Mr. Wolong was really not an ordinary person, and Long Yunqi was so deep that he discovered it.

Zhuge Liang replied: "The general might as well extrapolate from the results, when Sun Quan went north to attack Shouchun, Jiangdong controlled several counties south of the Lujiang River, and Cao's army controlled the entire northern part of Huainan; After Cao Cao personally conquered Huainan last year, Sun Quan only left the land of Liyang County, and also gave up the position of Lujiang Taishou to Long Xiang; Although Long Xiang did not take the initiative to attack in recent years, he took in a large number of displaced people due to the war and became the biggest beneficiary of Sun Cao's struggle for hegemony. ”

"The method of reverse deduction?"

Liu Bei secretly wondered, but his face was calm, and he nodded affirmatively: "It seems to be quite interesting, and there is some truth." ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei seemed to 'not believe', and added: "The general should not underestimate Long Xiang, this person should not be underestimated between Cao Cao and Sun Quan, if the general wants to plan for the long term, he should send someone to Hefei secretly to make friends, whether it is in Jiangdong or Pingzhongyuan in the future, this person is of great use." ”

"Remember the teachings of the gentleman."

Liu Bei hugged his fists and bowed, and suddenly his expression was solemn when he raised his hand, and he said to Zhuge Liang: "Although Bei has a small name and weak morality, I hope that Mr. will not abandon his contempt and go out of the mountain to help." ”

Zhuge Liang pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Liang Jiule cultivates and hoes, is too lazy to meet the world, and can't follow orders"

"Ahh

Zhuge Liang's answer made Liu Bei at a loss, it is said that he is very sincere, and in the conversation with Xu Shu, Sima Hui, Liu Biao and others, he learned that he has great ambitions and talents, but he has no chance.

You once deduced three points of the world, among which I Liu Bei had a place, how could you not want to go out of the mountain?

After all, I'm only twenty-one years old, and I'm so talented that no one can use it, so wouldn't I be the best choice?

While Liu Bei was pondering, he suddenly heard Zhang Fei shouting.

"Kong Ming!"

"General Zhang, what do you have to say?"

"Mr. has the talent of the world, do you dare to bet with me?"

"Bet? What to bet on? ”

Liu Bei mistakenly thought that Zhang Fei was going to be rude, but he didn't expect him to make a bet with Zhuge Liang, so he immediately resisted the urge to stop it, and stared at Zhang Fei with the same expectation as Guan Yu.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was condescending, standing next to the map and pointing out the country, and pressed everyone in momentum.

Zhang Fei stood up as he spoke, looked at Zhuge Liang and said meaningfully: "I once said that Cao Cao's life is not long, do you dare to bet with me for a specific time?" If you lose, you will go out of the mountain to assist my eldest brother, how about it? ”

"What?"

Zhuge Liang was surprised at first, and then quickly shook his head and smiled: "Although I can observe the stars, I don't have the ability to break my life, how can I bet with the general?" What if the general doesn't get it right? ”

"Not accurate?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and shouted: "At that time, Mr. will leave, and he will open it casually with other conditions." ”

"Hahaha, that's funny."

Zhuge Liang stared at Zhang Fei and laughed: "Liang is well-read, I have never heard of such skills, can General Zhang teach me?"

"I agree."

"Okay, I'll bet with the general, I don't know when Cao Cao will die?"

"Three no, ten years, Cao Cao will die within ten years!"

Zhang Fei stretched out three fingers first, and then replaced them with two big palms, he was actually imitating Long Xiang Liulusu, but he felt that three years was too short, so he shouted ten years at a sky-high price.

Zhuge Liang didn't agree just now, not only to test Liu Bei, but also to show that he was not in a hurry.

I wanted to borrow Zhang Fei to go down the steps, but the other party's performance was so clumsy that Zhuge Liang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly got up and stretched out his long arm, pulled away Zhang Fei's gesture similar to surrender, and then saluted Zhuge Liang respectfully: "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense, I sincerely ask you to go out of the mountain to help, please have mercy on the people in the world, and prepare to end this troubled world as soon as possible." ”

"General Demeng will not give up, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhuge Liang changed his previous cold attitude, and immediately knelt on the seat to be loyal to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, hurriedly helped Zhuge Liang up, and happily said to himself: "I have to be Mr., like a fish in water." ”
