As everyone knows.

"Longzhong Pair" is when Liu Bei visited the thatched house, in Zhuge Liang's grass house, that night, this pair of future "monarchs and ministers" quite a groundbreaking and forward-looking dialogue.

It was this "Longzhong pair" that allowed Zhuge Liang to delineate a three-point pattern to Liu Bei.

Such a forward-looking and predictive is not wonderful.

What few people know is that in fact, in addition to Zhuge Liang, there are two versions of "Longzhong Pair"!

One is the frustrated "Longzhong pair".

It was the second year of Chuping, the Son of Heaven was still in Dong Zhuo's hands, and Yuan Shao had just scared away the timid Han Fu, occupied Jizhou, and was competing with Gongsun Zhan for the north.

Yuan Shao at that time was far from being the overlord of the north.

At that time, Fu Zhu proposed to Yuan Shao that belonged to his version of "Longzhong Pair".

First of all, based on the rich Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army, the Black Mountain Thieves, Gongsun Zan and other forces were exterminated, and the four prefectures of Hebei, Hebei, Qing, and Northern Youbei were occupied.

And then there's:

- "Collect the talents of heroes, have millions of people, welcome the great drive in Xijing, restore the temple in Luoyi, command the world, to seek the unrecovered, and compete with it, who can be the enemy!" ”

In the early stage, Yuan Shao did go according to the frustrated "Longzhong pair".

Set four states and unify the northern border.

Merely...

The version of Longzhong was in the middle, "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" was contrary to Yuan Shao's ambitions.

What Yuan Shao wants to do is by no means a duke, their old Yuan family wants to go further.

It was precisely because of this "Longzhong pair" that Yuan Shao did not carry it out, and forcibly gave up the Son of Heaven to Cao Cao, which led to the replacement of the northern overlord.

This is the first miscarriage during the Three Kingdoms period, and the most regrettable "Longzhong pair"!

The second is Lu Su.

It is worth mentioning that the time when Lu Su proposed the "Longzhong pair" was ten years before Zhuge Liang met with Liu Bei and proposed the Longzhong pair!

That is, the "couch strategy" that later generations talk about! ”

That was the first time he had met Sun Quan.

Sun Quan asked him at that time, "Today, the Han family is like a building about to collapse, and the four directions are in chaos, I inherit the foundation founded by my father and brother, and hope to build a career like Qi Huan and Jin Wen. ”

Lu Su's answer was.

- "The Han Dynasty is no longer revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated at once." For the sake of the general, there is only a strong foot in Jiangdong to watch the changing situation in the world. ”

- "The situation in the world is such that one side will not arouse suspicion and jealousy. Why? Because the north is an eventful time. You just took advantage of this change to eliminate Huang Zu, invade Liu Biao, try your best to occupy all the places south of the Yangtze River, and then call the emperor to build the name in order to seize the world, this is a great cause established with Han Gaozu! ”

Say something with certainty!

Well-founded!

If it is said that Zhuge Liang's strategic plan of "Longzhong Pair" is to occupy Jingzhou, enter Yizhou, and wait for the changes of the world with the momentum of success!

Then Lu Su's strategic plan of "Longzhong Pair" is to occupy Jiangdong, enter Jingzhou, and wait for the changes of the world.

It can be seen obviously.

Between Sun and Liu, in terms of strategic planning, ten years before Zhuge Liang's version of "Longzhong Pair", it was already destined that Jingzhou... It is a link that both sides can never avoid!

And after that, no matter who the governor of Koto was.

What Sun Quan has always pursued is that Lu Su put forward this "strategic plan"!

Now that Huang Zu is gone, Liu Biao is no more...

The next plan, there is nothing else, only one - take Jingzhou!

As for lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei, it was an expedient measure.

It's as if if he doesn't borrow Sun Quan, Liu Bei will give him Sun Quan!

Lu Su is just letting the two sides and the Sun-Liu alliance leave each other with dignity!

And Lu Su is an honest man.

Can... He knows better...

Jingzhou, Dongwu will still have to seek sooner or later, this is a link that can never be bypassed.

But now... Sun Quan wants to revise the "Longzhong Pair" strategy proposed by Lu Su...

Lu Su can understand.

It's the times that force it...

It is the strategic consequence of the defeat of Xiaoyaojin, the failure to fulfill the demarcation of Xiangshui, and the necessary changes brought about by the fact that the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia are still in the hands of Guan Yu.

Today's Soochow needs Jiaozhou too much, as a strategic extension and expansion!

Today's Soochow also needs the resources of Jiaozhou too much.

What's more, Jiaozhou is connected to Jingnan, and in the current situation, Changsha County is firmly in Guan Yu's hands, and if Jingzhou is taken, it will not only be a problem of Jiangling.

Soochow must be able to expand the second battlefield, the second front, and the second big rear!

Call...

Thinking of this, Lu Su arched his hand and said: "The minister knows the lord, just as the lord knows the minister... Now the situation is unfavorable to my Dongwu, Hefei is a city, as long as the Wei general Zhang Liao is still there, Jiangdong soldiers will not be able to step through! ”

"And where Jiangdong can break the game, there is still only Jingzhou! Only that Guan Yu Guan Yunchang! Jingzhou had to be taken, however, Cao thief was powerful, but the Sun-Liu alliance could not be broken, thanks to the lord Miao Zan, mentioning the minister's 'Longzhong pair', the minister knew that the lord would never give up the 'Longzhong pair' strategy, the lord ordered Lu Xun to take Jiaozhou is also for the sake of 'Longzhong pair' to take a corner of Jingzhou, the lord has great ambitions, and he can't deceive the minister! ”

Speaking of which...

Lu Su began to deploy in accordance with the new ideas in the revised version of Sun Quan's "Longzhong Pair".

"If the lord wants to take Jiaozhou, he should first stabilize Cao and Liu, and Zhang Liao in the north should not be taken for the time being, and he should send heavy troops to garrison the mouth of the water, which is a water war, and our army will not be able to survive Hefei, and the Wei army will not be able to pass the water."

"As for Jingzhou, Zhuge Kongming has repeatedly mentioned to his brother that he has a 'step' son, and Ziyu has also repeatedly told the lord that he might as well take this opportunity to give him a favor, so that at least Lu Xun will take Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou will not give Jiaozhou resistance! With my Jiangdong's bravery, I will be a state within a year, and after that... It's not too late to map Jiangling and Changsha again! ”

Soochow's strategy has changed.

The current Jingzhou is no longer a "Jiangling" problem, and Changsha is a link that cannot be bypassed.

——If you want to take Changsha, you must take Jiaozhou!

The Lusu version of the "Longzhong pair" strategy has not changed, but... On the issue of taking Jingzhou, some adjustments were made.

And to hear this...

Sun Quan took a deep breath.

"Those who know me, Zi Jingye!"

Lu Su arched his hand, "The top priority is to let Zhuge Ziyu pass on a son to Zhuge Kongming, so... The southern expedition to Jiaozhou, the lord is worry-free! ”

And as Lu Su's words fell, Sun Quan's turquoise eyes condensed, and he opened his mouth and said, "This is not enough!" ”

"What do you want?"

"Gu Wenyun has a daughter, named Yan Xiaozi Yinping, twenty-eight years old, and has not yet married! Although the eldest son has not yet reached the crown, he has no marriage match! Lonely wants to send someone to propose to Yunchang's daughter Yinping? Jingzhou, right as my son's dowry, how about it? ”

As he spoke, a strange light was released from Sun Quan's eyes.

There was a deep chill in the warmth.

It's as if this "marriage" is far from being as simple as it says.

Lu Su "chirped" his mouth, his eyes first turned again and again, and finally, his eyes settled.

- "The lord's move is called marriage, but it is intended for the delicate relationship between 'Liu and Guan', which is very clever! ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan smiled.

Brushing his small purple beard, after a moment.

"Haha..."

"Hahaha..."

Sun Quan, who was originally cloudy, finally laughed out loud.

…

…

Guan Yu's hands were trembling slightly, and he looked helplessly at Guan Lin's first answer sheet.

He felt a great sense of anxiety and disappointment.

At this time, Guan Lin had already finished answering the second bamboo slip.

- "In the counties of Yizhou, the clans are hoarding and the prices are skyrocketing! When to solve? ”

Guan Lin answered this question quickly.

That's twenty breaths of time.

He closed the bamboo slip and pushed it to the front as usual.

Or does that mean...

- I'm done, you can see as you like.

This time, Zhang Fei didn't dare to look at it, for fear of seeing some "incredible" answers...

Besides, the answer to the previous question is especially vivid in Zhang Fei's mind!

How could there be such an answer?

In the face of Kong Ming's question of "Cao thieves are about to go south, and they can't make up the military funds to resist Cao", how can there be an answer - "If you can't make it, you can't make it up"?

Is this what it looks like to answer a question well?

Is this clearly nonsense?

For a moment, Zhang Fei pondered.

- "Kong Ming wants to test this kid, but this kid may not answer well, Kong Ming wants to accept this kid as a disciple, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much this time!"

On the other hand, Guan Yu reminded when he saw Guan Lin open the third bamboo slip.

"Yunqi, this is the military teacher's examination and teaching of you, in the entire Jingzhou and Yizhou, how many people want to become his closed disciples, but they have no way, can you be serious!"

Guan Yu's tone was a little cold and a little serious.

Merely.

When these words came out, Guan Lin didn't answer the third question, he faced Guan Yu's cold gaze, "Which eye did the father see, and the child didn't answer properly?" ”

This...

Guan Lin just has a kind of magic power, he can ignite the fire in Guan Yu's heart in an instant with just a few words.

"Is this your answer?" Guan Yu smashed the bamboo slip in front of Guan Lin, "What do you mean, 'If you can't make it, you can't make it up?' Are you answering this well? ”

It seems that Guan Yu is already a little angry.

Zhuge Kongming is one of the few people he admires.

Now... What a blessing and an honor it is for his son to be favored by Kong Ming, and even for Guan Lin's growth, the future is also very important!

But... Cloud flag him!

Guan Yu's fists were already clenched.

It's just that Guan Lin was not afraid at all, he replied directly: "This is my answer, if my father thinks it is not good, then why not conduct this examination?" Wouldn't it be more beautiful to have a pestle here, and the child will go back to sleep? ”

"You..." Guan Yu couldn't help but raise his hand.

Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai were startled...

Zhang Fei's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stopped Guan Yu, "Second brother, what are you calling this kid Yunqi?" ”

Guan Yu's chest continued to rise and fall, and his anger did not decrease: "This 'rebel' is going to anger me!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

At this time, Ma Liang hurriedly gave Yang Yi a look, Yang Yi understood, and immediately got up and arched his hand towards Guan Yu.

"Guan Gong..."

"Yang Shangshu has something to say." Guan Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for Yang Yi to say.

Yang Yi opened his mouth and said: "It stands to reason that Guan Gong scolded the fourth son, and the lower officials should not have taken care of it!" ”

"But... It is not only the question of Zhuge Junshi, which is used to assess the son of Yunqi, but now it is in the process of teaching, so no matter how the prince of Yunqi answers? Guan Gong shouldn't be obstructed... Perhaps, Yunqi Gongzi's thoughts jumped, and Xia Guan and Guan Gong just couldn't understand it? Mr. Guan Gong should believe that Zhuge Junshi is! ”

"That's right..."As soon as Yang Yi's words blurted out, Zhang Fei added: "Second brother, you are angry, but it's just an assessment, Yunqi's answer is not unreasonable, if you can't make it up, you can't make it up... Isn't the Cao thief still going south? When this fart arrives in front of the door, can it still suffocate the living? You say, "Oh, don't you?" ”

Zhang Fei's words... The words are not rough.

Ma Liang is the most transparent, and this first question is clear...

He realized that where was the ordinary test!

This question, I'm afraid that Kong Ming himself doesn't have the right answer, how can Yunqi answer it?

And with Yunqi's temperament, he knows that this question is difficult and biased, and no one can answer it, so it is possible to make a fuss and answer it randomly.

This one...

Ma Liang shook his head helplessly.

- "It's a pity that Kong Ming is so deployed, so favored... Yunqi's attitude, I'm afraid I'm going to miss such a good opportunity!"

For a time, everyone should persuade and think.

On the contrary, it was Guan Lin, who still met Guan Yu's condensed gaze.

"Does the father still ask the child to answer? If you don't let it, the child won't answer, and it's back! ”

Guan Lin is about to leave.

- "You rebel, do you have such a good inch?"

Guan Yu didn't say a word, but his cheeks changed again, becoming more and more ugly.

Yang Yi hurriedly persuaded: "Answer, how can you not answer?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the answer sheet that had fallen to the ground and said with a smile. "I've already answered two questions, and only the last one remains..."

Hearing this, Guan Lin stretched out his hands towards his father Guan Yu and made an innocent look.

Of course, in Guan Yu's opinion, this is more like a demonstration!

At this time, Guan Lin... He knelt down on the bamboo mat again and began to answer the last question.

And this third question is interesting.

It was the initial decision of Yizhou, and the local clan asked Liu Bei for merit and asked for the acres and mansions to be distributed to them.

Then the problem is, the acres of land are limited, and there are many people who can ask for credit, including Liu Bei's "veteran faction", the "Jingzhou faction" of the Western Expedition, and the "Dongzhou faction" as an internal response...

How to divide this field?

How to divide the mansion?

Of course, Zhuge Liang's title is very implicit, but Guan Lin is too clear about the twists and turns in the middle, and the factions in the middle are strife.

The historical Shu Han Dynasty stopped cooking.

Aside from one mine and nine mines.

The internal factions alone are intricate.

the patriarchal faction headed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei;

the Jingzhou faction headed by Zhuge Liang;

the Dongzhou faction headed by Fa Zheng, Li Yan, and Meng Da;

There are also generals like Ma Chao, as well as Yizhou's local self-contained faction.

Speaking of which, the dispute between the Three Kingdoms is nothing more than the three families of Wei, Shu, and Wu...

But Liu Bei's subordinates, why not three?

All five are available!

It is no exaggeration to say that Shu Han is a big dye vat!

And facts have proved that Liu Bei is "only virtuous and virtuous, able to obey others" has a set, really to talk about the checks and balances of various factions, "Sun 100,000" If it is the "strongest king", then Liu Bei is at most "stubborn bronze"!

Don't look at Sun 100,000 troops, he can check and balance the various factions of Eastern Wu, and he is playing a thief...

At this point, the three Liu Xuande tied together do not have the ability of Sun 100,000.

The final results show that Liu Bei's "checks and balances" have completely collapsed, the kind of collapse...

Even, it is involved in history - after Lu Meng crossed the river in white, a series of officials of Shu Han and a series of psychedelic operations!

Call...

Exhale softly.

Guan Lin reined in his thoughts.

So, how should this question be answered? Guan Lin rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

To everyone's surprise...

Guan Lin's "normality" is actually thinking and thinking deeply!

In fact, this problem is only a small branch under the big problem of "Shu Han faction".

But, at the end of the day... Liu Bei was able to enter Chengdu.

Individual stock factions all have merit.

But big guy, follow you Liu Bei to fight the world, isn't it just for the acres of land, for the house, for the status, to be more vulgar, for wealth and resources!

So, this assignment... It seems to be a small problem, but in fact, it has become an important action for each faction to show its status!

This is a problem that cannot be avoided in the early days of Shu Han!

Call...

Guan Lin thought for a quarter of an hour before he put pen to paper.

When Guan Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and muttered in his heart.

- "After all, he listened to my father's words!"

Zhang Xingcai poked her head out to look at the bamboo slip in front of Guan Lin, but it was too far away to see anything, she muttered.

"Is this a difficult question?"

Guan Yinping shook his head, "How can the fourth brother care if it's difficult or not?" It's just a matter of whether he's interested... For example, in the exam questions of the Battle of Hefei that year, he wrote a whole poem..."

"What poem?"

"——The tiger roared and shook thousands of miles, and Jiangdong's blue eyes were especially shocking......"

With Guan Yinping's words, Zhang Xingcai blinked her eyes, and she asked curiously: "Sister Yinping, this poem?" What do you mean? ”

In this compartment, Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai were whispering something.

Over there, Guan Lin was writing hard.

And as Yang Yi picked up the first bamboo slip, he also saw the answer clearly.

It's really as Guan Gong said.

- "If you can't make it, you can't make it!" ”

- "There's no need to make it up! ”

Yang Yi "chirped" his mouth, he pondered in his heart.

- "This Guan Lin Gongzi is really amazing!"

Wait a minute...

Yang Yi seemed to have thought of something.

He muttered to himself in a very light and thin voice.

"Isn't there a need to make it up?"

Immediately after, he thought of a possibility.

If... If Cao Cao left Hanzhong, then the matter of "fighting Cao thief" would naturally cease to exist.

If so... Then Guan Lin's answer is "no need to make it up at all"... There will be no problem.

Can...

Will Cao Cao leave Hanzhong?

Under what circumstances will Cao Cao leave?

Thinking of this, Yang Yi only thought of two words - Xiangfan!

That's right, under the premise that the situation in Hefei is stable, only if something happens to the rear or Xiangfan, then Cao Cao can leave Hanzhong.

Can...

There was an accident in Cao Wei's rear, and now there is no news!

So... Something happened to Xiangfan.

Do the math... Something really happened to Xiangfan, such as the destruction of the 5,000 tigers and leopards.

But if that's all there is to it... That's not enough.

On the battlefield of Xiangfan, the real backbone is Cao Ren!

It's Cao Wei's "Heavenly General!" ”

As long as he's in... Then Xiangfan will be as stable as Mount Tai, and Cao Cao will not leave Hanzhong and join the battlefield here.

Hiss...

Yang Yi suddenly took a sharp breath.

He thought to himself.

- "Could it be that Guan Yunqi kid calculated, so what will happen to Cao Ren?"

The idea only came to me for a split second.

Yang Yi shook his head violently.

It's fantastic!

How is this possible?

Precisely, just when Yang Yi was thinking, on the bank of the Jingjiang River in the far north, under the city of Xiangyang in the dark night.

A figure appeared here.

He was unkempt;

He was weak;

He was exhausted;

But his pupils seemed to be poured with hatred, and they were always glowing with bloodthirsty coldness.

He propped up the ground with his sword, and he faced the tower of Xiangyang City on his back, and he used his last strength to roar.

- "Open the gates quickly!" ”

- "General Ben is back!" ”

…
