After Liu Bei settled Xiang Lang, Wei Yan and others, he was in a very happy mood that night.

After going back, he continued to play music and dance, thinking that for the sake of a matter of his heart, Liu Biao's talent blockade plan should be completely bankrupt at this point.

Early the next morning, because of a hangover, Liu Bei slept until three o'clock in the morning, but as everyone knows, just after washing up and preparing for breakfast, Zhuge Liang came to ask for a meeting, saying that he had an important strategy to report.

Liu Bei was very surprised, but he didn't need to see Zhuge Liang, so he directly met Zhuge Liang while having breakfast.

also helped Zhuge Liang put a bowl of yogurt, even if he had eaten, he could drink some yogurt to eliminate food and nourish his stomach.

Of course, the lactic acid strains used in the yogurt that Liu Beijun drinks today are all high-purity lactic acid bacteria and probiotics screened out by the Zhuge brothers who repeatedly did strain screening tests a few months ago.

In addition, before each processing of yogurt, it is necessary to use the "Ge's sterilization method" (pasteurization method) to kill the original bacteria in the raw milk at low temperature, so it is not easy to be disturbed by miscellaneous bacteria.

Liu Beijun's senior management quickly developed the habit of drinking yogurt, and knew that this thing would definitely not drink as diarrhea as the original rancid milk.

Zhuge Liang was not polite to him, and was led directly to the inner hall by the maid, Liu Bei gave him a look, Zhuge Liang Shi Ran sat on the opposite side of the dining table with one leg crossed, and took a sip of the celadon yogurt cup without asking.

The maid who led Zhuge Liang in, when she saw that Zhuge Liang was sitting on her side, quickly brought a table from the side with great eyes, Zhuge Liang was just about to put down the celadon yogurt cup, and the table was placed under his elbow, so that he could lean on his side more comfortably.

Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to these details at all, and naturally went straight to the point: "The lord felt that the overall situation had been decided last night, so he sang and danced so peacefully." ”

Liu Bei swallowed the chicken in his mouth and replied casually: "I can't say that the overall situation has been decided, but it's a matter of caution, so I can't relax." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Haven't you forgotten what I said when I was going to count the time?" Is our strategy just to let Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's slander eat back and ruin Liu Biao's reputation as a good man?

This is only the most insignificant of the first few expected goals, why is it so easy for the lord to meet? ”

Liu Bei was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that a month ago, when he heard that Liu Biao had imprisoned the flow of talents and ordered the closure of the river, he hurriedly asked Kong Ming for advice.

Then Kong Ming didn't hurry up and said a bunch of one, two, three, four countermeasures, just like this, so, and so.

At that time, a lot of back-ups were indeed mentioned, but Liu Bei himself felt that the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and he didn't dare to expect too much, thinking that it would be good to achieve the first small goal.

Later, a month passed in a flash, and he didn't hear about any new progress in the middle, so Liu Bei slacked off.

Last night, I heard that the first small goal of the plan was completed, which not only attracted more talents, but also hit Liu Biao's prestige, and also stinked Cai Mao Zhang Yun, so he was satisfied and forgot the rest.

After a long time, I really need a Dinghai Divine Needle like Zhuge Liang to remind me from time to time.

Liu Bei recalled it seriously for a long time, and then he said:

"I remember that a month ago, when my husband and I were analyzing, they did mention that they could use the excuse of 'Liu Biao pretending to be on guard against Zhang Xiu's subjugation of Cao, and more Xudu imperial court infiltrated southward, so as to seal the river', and the plan will be calculated to accelerate the destruction of the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Biao - what? Is there progress on this? That's a double blessing. ”

Liu Bei recounted and retold it, but he still couldn't believe it.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Of course it won't be such a coincidence, but after I settled Juda and Wenchang, I remembered this matter, and this morning I found Changxu (Sun Wei) and Ziyu (Shiyi) to review it, and inquired about the latest situation.

It is estimated that there will be more than half a month, and at most a month, there will definitely be movement. Ziyu's side didn't dare to report the good news in advance because the progress was not big enough and not conclusive enough. ”

It turned out that a month ago, when Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei that "this and so, the plan will be calculated", he also offered the other half of the strategy, which can be regarded as an idle chess without a foundation, as follows:

Didn't Liu Biao use Cao Cao as an excuse to seal the river?

But Zhuge Liang expected that Liu Biao would definitely not dare to offend Cao Cao openly, so this excuse is estimated to only be publicized in Jingzhou, and it may not even dare to take the initiative to publicize it, but it is only passively used in Jingling and Hanyang, the two port ports and counties that seal the river.

The so-called "passive use" means not taking the initiative to publicize it, and only when the business travelers who were blocked and intercepted complained and wanted an explanation, they took out Cao Cao's shield to talk about things. If no one asks, or even the person who asks is not qualified enough, then Feng Jiang will not explain.

Zhuge Liang expected that Liu Biao must also know that this excuse would spread sooner or later, and it might also spread to Cao Cao's direct territory in the north. But as long as it is done in a low-key manner, does not take the initiative to publicize it, and moves a little, then the spread speed of this kind of rumor will be relatively slow.

If it is deliberately publicized, it will take half a month for these news to reach Cao Cao's territory, and another ten days before it can be collected, noticed, and transmitted to the ears of Cao Cao himself. In such a passive and low-key situation, it may not be transmitted for two months, and it may not be transmitted to Cao Cao's ears after three months.

At that time, Yuan Cao may have torn his face, the daylily was cold, and Cao Cao couldn't care about the news that it was expired and time-sensitive.

If there is no time-sensitive information, it is not intelligence. Diplomatic stimulus that is not time-sensitive is not worthy of diplomatic stimulus.

It's a pity that Liu Biao wants to keep a low profile, and feels that it doesn't matter as long as he keeps a low profile and delays. But Zhuge Liang can help Liu Biao be high-profile, and he will probe Liu Biao's true thoughts, so he has a backhand.

After Liu Bei sorted out the cause and effect, he hurriedly asked eagerly: "So, in the past month, Ziyu has found out that Liu Biao is indeed passively using Cao Cao as a shield?" Not planning to preach it? And Changxu's side successfully spread these news to Runan? ”

Zhuge Liang finally smiled proudly: "That's right, that's right, I asked Ziyu to be responsible for finding out the news, searching and analyzing the reactions and intelligence of the private business travelers, and confirming that my inference about Liu Biao that day was indeed accurate!" All of Liu Biao's actions are in line with my expectations!

And Changxu's side, with the help of the contacts left by the Xudu Imperial Court many times, made another visit in this month, but he didn't go to Xudu, so he spread the news that we were going to spread. I believe that Cao Cao has noticed Liu Biao's jealousy of him. ”

Zhuge Liang said, and reported in detail the work that Sun Wei and Shi Yi had done according to his requirements in the past month.

Sun Wei is a person who was born in Yangzhou under Liu Xuan, who was originally incorporated by Sun Quan in history, and finally when Sun Quan was called emperor, in order to suppress Zhang Zhao, Sun Wei crossed the bridge and became the first prime minister of Wu State, and then replaced by Gu Yong.

Although the historical Sun Wei is a mascot for the transition of power, being able to achieve the position of prime minister at least shows that he has a very deep understanding of how to gain the trust of the lord after the new lord is replaced. He knew what kind of dirty work the new lord needed him to do, and he was very clear about his position.

In this life, Sun Wei voted for Liu Bei after Liu Xuan's death, and Liu Bei nominally respected him very much, after all, Sun Wei, as the shepherd of a state, sent Xu Du to contact the imperial court the most, more than Jian Yong Sun Qian, and he was very experienced in doing these things.

But Sun Wei knew very well that he came late, and in terms of Liu Bei's trust, he was far inferior to Jian Yong and Sun Gan. In fact, whenever Liu Bei wanted to send someone to Xu Du, if the task was secret and not dangerous, he still preferred to let Jian Yong or Sun Gan go. Only those who are not secretive and dangerous will be allowed to go.

Sun Wei was clear in his heart, but he didn't complain, just let him go.

This time, Zhuge Liang asked him to use the excuse to hang around, and by the way, he asked his entourage to find an opportunity to spread some news, and he went to spread it.

In contrast, it was Yi who joined Sun Quan after Liu Xuan's death and did intelligence analysis work, and when he came to Liu Bei in this life, he continued to do his old business. Zhuge Liang asked him to send someone to pretend to be a normal business traveler to contact Liu Biao's Fengjiang Navy, and then stuff money to clear customs to find out the news, without too much stimulation of the other party, to extract the other party's attitude, and verify some situations.

One hand verifies, the other hand disseminates, two prongs, the effect is naturally extraordinary.

Originally, Liu Bei didn't have time to care about these details, because they hadn't yielded results yet, and he wouldn't personally care about these small things that were still in progress. At this moment, after listening to Zhuge Liang's summary, he asked happily:

"In this way, could Cao Cao have been misled by our deliberate dissemination and strengthened his vigilance against Liu Biao?"

Zhuge Liang: "According to the latest news, Zhang Xiu's department seems to have been transferred out of the Wancheng defense area by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao gave Zhang Xiu a sum of gold and silver, and promised to add hundreds of food estates to him, and then transferred Zhang Xiu's troops to Chenliu and merged them into the rest of the troops guarding against Yuan Shao.

However, it is impossible for Wancheng or Nanyang County to be undefended, and it is estimated that Cao Cao will soon choose another elite henchman from the garrison of Xu Du to go south, replace Zhang Xiu, and keep an eye on Liu Biao. And I estimate that with Cao Cao's temper, he may not have completely given up hope of winning over Liu Biao, but after this incident, he should be desperate.

Knowing that he can't win over Liu Biao, the possibility of Cao Cao stumbling on Liu Biao will greatly increase. If he heard that Liu Biao had sealed the river and prevented business travelers from passing, he would definitely not dare to take the Yangtze River channel to contact those unstable Taishou in Jingnan.

In this way, with Cao Cao's treacherous and suspicious, it is very likely that he will send a secret envoy from the territory of Jiangxia County under our control to the south, and go to Wuling and Lingling via Changsha - if Cao Cao is really sure that he will win over some Taishou in Jingnan to contain Liu Biao.

What we have to do now is to relax the search and vigilance of Cao Jun's secret envoys, carefully carry out the search and vigilance of the southward movement from Runan over the Xinyang Road of Tongbai Mountain, and secretly stare at the investigation, what is not good for us, of course, we still have to intercept and kill, but if it is only unfavorable to Liu Biao, we can secretly indulge in the transit after tracking and confirming......"

Liu Bei couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he heard Zhuge Liang say such a meticulous plan so calmly.

Kong Ming's resourcefulness and strength, how do you feel that it has improved again? It's been a few months since the last time I felt this way!

On the one hand, he ruined Liu Biao's reputation as a good man,

While hating Cai Mao and Zhang Yunla to stink them,

While spying on Liu Biao, he didn't dare to openly publicize the blockade of Cao Cao's envoys,

On the other hand, he went to Cao Cao to spread Liu Biao's behavior,

In the end, if Cao Cao reacted unfavorably to Liu Biao, he would secretly monitor and indulge the transit......

How many parallel operations are there?

How long does it take to deal with it?

Liu Bei took a few deep breaths in a daze: "Mr. is like this, drawing inferences from one another, and making use of Liu Biao's unintentional move to seal the river?" Is this all a countermeasure that Mr. himself pondered? Is there anything else you would like to add? ”

When asked about this, Zhuge Liang put away his usual wisdom bead in his hand, and said honestly with a little embarrassment: "It's not entirely out of my personal strategy, in the past month, after I made the initial deployment, I also wrote to contact my eldest brother in Wuhu, wanting him to confirm whether what I did was appropriate."

The eldest brother also replied by letter, about 'If Cao Cao is suspicious and suspicious of Liu Biao, he may contact some Taishou in Jingnan to oppose Liu Biao and think that he is contained', which is what the eldest brother reminded me in his reply. The remaining three points are my own thoughts, and the last remaining point is that I discussed and perfected with my eldest brother.

The five-point strategy is interlocking, I contribute two-thirds of it, and the eldest brother contributes one-third of it, this strategy can be regarded as the joint efforts of our two brothers-

Finally, the eldest brother also reminded me in the reply, 'Once I find out that Cao Cao has a tendency to completely give up trying to win over Liu Biao and choose another place to keep Liu Biao in another place, I will write to inform him as soon as possible'.

Because he felt that Cao Cao's action to win over Zhang Xian and Sun Ce's action might happen on the front and back feet. This means that our army may really have to prepare for a war on two fronts.

The eldest brother also said in the letter that if it is really found that Cao Cao transferred troops from the elite of Xu Du to take over the defense area of Wancheng Zhang Xiu in advance, it will lead to a temporary emptiness within Xu Du, and there may even be some people who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao in Xu Du to jump out. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he also took out a letter from his sleeve, which Zhuge Jin sent back from Wuhu more than ten days ago.

Zhuge Liang had just heard that Liu Biao had sealed the river, and after a few days of investigation, he sent the first letter to Zhuge Jin to seek advice.

The letter that went down the Yangtze River went relatively fast, and it took six or seven days to reach Wuhu with fast sails and oars. The return from Wuhu is a countercurrent, and it will take at least 10 days or more, unless it is particularly urgent to use fast horses to relay in wartime, and no longer take the Yangtze River waterway.

Liu Bei carefully read Zhuge Jin's reply, and combined with Zhuge Liang's relay, he knew it completely in his heart, and he was not as surprised as he was just now.

Of the above-mentioned five-point serial schemes, only three and a half points were contributed by Zhuge Liang, and the remaining one and a half points were thought of by Zhuge Jin thousands of miles away, in addition, Zhuge Jin also thought of a little deduction of follow-up possibilities alone, and reminded-

Of course, Liu Bei would never know that Zhuge Jin was a little and a half miles, and there was a point that the traverser directly copied the answer (Zhang Xian would betray Liu Biao), and the subsequent possibility deduction was also a historical answer (Yi Dai Zhao). There is actually only half of what really depends on Zhuge Jin's IQ and does not mix with historical prophets.

After Liu Bei smoothed out his train of thought, he couldn't help but sigh: "This looks much more normal, there are a total of six creative ideas, Kong Ming, you contributed three and a half, and Ziyu contributed two and a half."

But he is thousands of miles away, not more difficult than you are right in front of you. It seems that in terms of figuring out the movements and strategies of the princes in the world, Ziyu is still half a chip above you.

But it's surprising that you've been able to progress so quickly. It seems that in two years at most, you will be able to catch up with Brother Ling in all areas other than personally leading troops to fight, which is really gratifying and congratulatory, the blessing of the Han Dynasty.

By the way, didn't Ziyu ask us to reply immediately if we have a situation, just collect the latest information here, and immediately send the speedboat to Wuhu day and night, so that Ziyu can be ready for battle! ”
