"Zhuge Kongming, meet Your Majesty!"

As soon as he entered the study, Liu Xie was stunned by Zhuge Liang's words, and for a while, the steps that took him out, and the arms that were half raised were directly frozen there.

"Kong Ming..."Liu Xie wanted to pretend to be stupid for the first time, but after a moment's hesitation, he smiled bitterly and knelt directly on the main seat, "What is wrong with me?"

Could it be that I have this acting skills... Is this disguise so unsightly? ”

This should be the second time, the last time Liu Ye saw through his identity, it was already a big blow, and now he was broken by Zhuge Liang again, so in my heart... Ah... It's not a taste.

There is no pleasure of pretending to slap your face at all!

Zhuge Kongming didn't see what Liu Xie was thinking in his heart, he just saluted Liu Xie respectfully again.

Although Xuande Gong is also a little old, it is not that he has no heirs, but he is not so eager to find a nephew for himself to inherit under his knees.

Of course, if that's all there is, that's fine, after all, it's not a big deal.

But... His Majesty has been too self-conscious in what He has done during this time, as if he has never cared about the identity of that Xuande Gong, and even Xinye is indifferent to what His Majesty has done.

Whether it is Na Gan Ning or the strong man next to His Majesty, or Yuan Zhi and others, His Majesty is recruiting talents for his side.

This is to build your own power.

I don't know... Is what Ryo said right? ”

“.... Be! Liu Xie's face couldn't help twitching a little, this... He really didn't care.

But now that Zhuge Liang says it, this is really a bit too much, after all, even if Liu Bei is benevolent, he is not a fool.

Whose eldest nephew can do that?

"And what really made Liang certain was what His Majesty said today, to go to the land of Bingzhou!" Zhuge Liang finally said, "Your Majesty's idea is very good, but does Your Majesty know what the biggest impact of doing this is?" ”

"It will make Uncle Huang and Liu Biao officially fall apart, and I'm afraid that Liu Biao will no longer trust Uncle Huang in the future.

Even... There will be wars in the future! ”

For this point, in fact, Liu Bei, Liu Xie and others have also discussed, and Liu Ye and Jia Xu have also vaguely hinted at this kind of thing.

But after all, this kind of thing is the royal family's own business, and even Liu Ye doesn't dare to say too much.

If Liu Bei and Chang'an attacked and merged the state together and finally participated in this great battle, then Liu Biao would definitely know that Liu Bei still had a connection with the Chang'an court.

In this way, Liu Bei's role in him is completely gone, not to mention, it can even be said... He also threw himself into the net, so that the vanguard of the imperial court was directly blocked at his doorstep!

If Liu Biao is not a fool, he will definitely try his best to recapture Xinye and other places while stationing soldiers and horses in Fancheng, otherwise this Jingzhou will be in danger.

In the future, I am afraid that they will be indispensable for a big war.

"Your Majesty!" After Zhuge Liang heard what Liu Xie meant, he directly got up to interrupt him, and then bowed to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, can you trust General Zuo?" ”

"Uncle Huang...."Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, he knew that this person had left a reputation for Liu Bei in history.

also knows that no matter how many people in later generations speculate about him, they can't change the fact that he has guarded the rear for Liu Bei for many years, and asked Gu to save the Han.

So when Zhuge Liang asked this question, he naturally thought of a lot.

But looking at Zhuge Liang's eyes, he finally nodded.

"Uncle Huang, there is no reason to betray me... He doesn't need to betray me! ”

"In that case, then Liang has a plan, maybe he can let His Majesty get the state at the same time... also hold on to Jingzhou, a back road! ”

"Keep Jingzhou?"

"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang directly let out the map behind him, "I think that Your Majesty has planned to let General Zuo stay in Nanyang from the beginning.

The purpose is to allow His Majesty to plot against Jingzhou in the future, and to follow the example of Cao Mengde who forced Xuzhou to land directly in Yizhou.

But now although Nanyang is available, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou still has plenty of soldiers and horses, and it is not as easy to defeat as that.

Instead of letting Liu Jingsheng take precautions in the future, and the two sides are fighting endlessly in this land of Nanyang, it is better to do the opposite, and we will take the initiative to give up Nanyang and exchange for a bigger Jingzhou.

After all, Nanyang is in our pocket, and even if we leave now, it is not impossible to take it again in the future. ”

"This...."Liu Xie looked at the map in front of him, then looked at Zhuge Kong Ming in front of him, and finally raised his hand directly after being silent for a moment, "Kong Ming, please elaborate, I... I don't understand! ”

"Your Majesty, please look!" Zhuge Liang put his finger on the map of Jingzhou, "Nanyang is the land of the four wars, which seems to be vast and fertile, but it is mostly plains, which is not conducive to defense.

In the future, if we occupy Nanyang, we will not only have to face Liu Jingsheng's attack, but also worry about Cao Mengde's attack from Yuzhou at any time.

In the long run, this will definitely drag down our forces.

Rather than this, it is better for His Majesty to directly cede this Wancheng and other places to Liu Biao after conquering the land in the northern part of Nanyang County.

Let Liu Jingsheng lead the soldiers and horses to garrison, first, to allow Liu Jingsheng to face the pressure of the Central Plains, and second, to use this matter in exchange for another place.

Jiangxia! ”

"Jiangxia... But that Huang Zu..."

"If it's just General Zuo going, Huang Zu will definitely not be willing, but what if there is still the eldest son of Jingzhou?"

"Liu Qi?" Liu Xie was really stunned, if Zhuge Liang hadn't said it, he would have forgotten about this guy, "This eldest son, it's not pleasing in this Jingzhou land." ”

Whether he is likable or not does not prevent him from being Liu Jingsheng's biological son, and Liu Jingsheng still values and cares a lot about him.

As long as Liu Qi is used as a reason to let him go to Jiangxia, neither Liu Biao nor Huang Zu will have too much fear of him.

In addition, General Zuo took the initiative to cut off the connection between himself and Chang'an, as long as there is a person who is good at speaking, he can once again dispel the other party's doubts.

And after entering Jiangxia, General Zuo can plot the land of Jingnan and the land of Jiangdong.

Now that Zhang Xian of Jingnan and Sun Ce of Jiangdong died almost at the same time, Jingnan is unstable, Jiaozhou is in turmoil, and Jiangdong is in turmoil, which is a good opportunity for Liu Biao to show his ambitions.

It is also a good opportunity for His Majesty to intervene in the south! ”
