Xin Bi was questioned by Zhuge Jin, of course he didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately humbly stepped forward to explain his intentions:

"Zhuge envoy in person, how dare you talk about the word 'advice'? However, because my lord Qingzhou Yuan Envoy Jun was forced by Cao thieves, I had to ask the Che Cavalry General and Zhuge Envoy Jun for help.

The general of the chariot cavalry and the general were under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven and tried their best to rebel. The general fought in Hebei, and the general in the chariot cavalry fought in Jiangnan. However, I don't mean that the official crossing was ruined, the cangting fell, and the great cause of the king of Qin is in danger today, and the general of the Che Cavalry has pacified the Sun thief in Jiangdong, and the soldiers are resting, why not send troops to the north to attack the Cao thief, save the people from hanging upside down, and correct the world? ”

Of course, Zhuge Jin is a lord who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, but he still said the scene very justly. Seeing that Xin Bixian was high and high-profile, of course he also had a way to deal with it, so he said without leaking:

"King Qin's rebellion is naturally incumbent. However, our military position is no more than General Fubo, and General Mengchecai trusts him, and he also leads the affairs of Yangzhou Pastoral Mansion, so he really has no right to transfer troops. In the end, how to send troops, how many troops to send, and where to attack the Cao thieves all need to be decided by the general of the chariot cavalry himself, and I really can't overstep my bounds.

In addition, don't look at this Wu County, which was completely pacified in March. But in Huiji, which is separated by a river in the south, in fact, it was not until this month that the county commander I sent took office in Taimo County, so how can it be said that 'the soldiers have been extinguished'? After the war, the soldiers are tired and must rest before they can fight again, which is also the right way of the art of war and cannot be violated. ”

The Taimo County mentioned by Zhuge Jin was roughly between Quzhou and Lishui in later generations, and was the deepest county in the mountainous area of southern Zhejiang during the Han Dynasty. It is not surprising that it took Zhuge Jin four months after pacifying northern Zhejiang to completely control this place.

Moreover, the western part of Wu County and most of the Huiji region, the Shanyue issue has not yet been completely resolved.

At present, it can only be said that no Shanyue dares to openly pull the flag against Liu Bei, and the kidnapping and destruction of petty fights will still appear every once in a while.

Xin Bi also knew that what Zhuge Jin said was the truth, and he just started to probe at a high level, just because he felt that Liu Bei was known for his benevolence and righteousness, and wanted to try a moral kidnapping of Liu Bei's camp.

Listening to Zhuge Jin's answer so pragmatic and leaky, and not dishonoring his name on the surface, Xin Bi also knew in his heart:

Moral kidnapping is not so easy to tie, even if Liu Bei himself eats this set, and there are Zhuge brothers around him to help him make excuses, Liu Bei will have to step down.

It seems that it is impossible to expect to pull aid without paying real benefits.

Now that Yuan Tan has a request for help, Xin Bi can only follow the other party's words, while taking care of the other party, while testing the other party's asking price:

"Then I don't know what Zhuge Envoy thinks that after the army destroys Sun, how long will it take to repair before sending troops north? Is there another way to speed up preparations? ”

The "There are other ways to speed up the preparation for war" in his words has already clearly indicated that Zhuge Jin will make an offer, such as asking for money and food, or ceding land, before he is willing to send this army.

Everyone is a smart person, and it is definitely understandable when it comes to this. If it's more red, it's not good-looking on both sides.

Of course, Zhuge Jin also understood, but he would not be in a hurry to make an offer, so he pretended to ignore the second half of the question, and only answered the first half of the question first, that is, "Under normal circumstances, how long do you need to rest before you can send troops".

Zhuge Jin pondered and said: "I heard that after the battle of Guandu, the general spent four months recuperating and reorganizing his troops and horses to prepare for the battle of Dong'a. The battle of the general of the chariot cavalry to destroy Sun is more extensive, chasing thousands of miles, going deep into the hot mountains and dangers, and after completely ending the war, he must rest for four months......"

As soon as Simbi heard this, he was anxious. If this is another four months, it is estimated that Yuan Shao will not know whether he will survive until then, and Yuan Tan estimates that he will have to give up many small peripheral counties in Bohai County that are not dangerous to defend, and there will only be one Nanpi left at that time.

He hurriedly complained: "It's foolish to think that such a comparison ...... Maybe it's not quite right, right? The general had to rest for four months after the Battle of Guandu, because most of the soldiers and horses were lost, and he needed to re-recruit troops and assemble military horses. The general of the chariot cavalry, Ping Wu, is progressing smoothly, and has not heard of heavy casualties, and it is completely possible to quickly move the victorious troops north.

And the surrender of the Sun thief captured in the Pingjiangdong period can also be used to fight against the Cao thief with a little rectification, four months is too slow! I also begged the king to explain the reason, and my lord will definitely repay the friendly army! ”

Generous retribution? How to repay it exactly? You took the initiative to say it!

Zhuge Jin hated iron a little.

Liu Bei is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, how can he take the initiative to make an offer? Of course, the other party voluntarily sent it.

In later generations, how many so-called "rights defenders" people, whether they want hush money, breakup fees, or other gray area fees, are because they took the initiative to make a price, and as a result, they were put into the sewing machine on a backhand charge of extortion.

Although there were no relevant laws in the Han Dynasty, the principles were the same. Taking the initiative to open your mouth in case the asking price is low, it is not conducive to maximizing benefits, and it is easy to make the other party resentful, affecting the fluency of subsequent cooperation.

As an old yin ratio mixed up in modern society, this basic skill still has to be solid.

In order to imply that Xin Bi took the initiative to make a bid, Zhuge Jin had no choice but to follow the temptation: "What George said is not unreasonable, in the battle of Jiangdong, our army, as the winning side, did not suffer as much as the general when he was in Guandu.

The time required for reorganization after the war should indeed be shorter - it took four months for the general, why would we have to take three months under normal circumstances, right?

It's a pity that you didn't come by chance, I believe you have also seen it along the way, from Dantu to Qiantang, this year we have built a lot of civil engineering, Guangzhi canal, dredging and controlling Yanze, which consumes a lot of people's power.

At the beginning, we didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to take advantage of the empty Northern Expedition of Cao Thief this year, and we also wanted to wait for the general to recover his strength and contact us before seeking a joint attack between the north and the south, so we used the people's power to rebuild Jiangnan and restore people's livelihood.

This year, the burden of conscription is already very heavy, and if the people are asked to transfer military rations to support the war, I am afraid that it will arouse public resentment. The general of the chariot cavalry newly occupied Jiangdong, and he also had to take into account the people's wishes. ”

Xin Bi was speechless for a while, and even felt that Zhuge Jin knew that he was coming in advance, so he hid from Moling to Qiantang in advance, just so that he could come all the way along the Jiangnan Canal and witness Zhuge Jin's construction in Jiangnan this year, and find a full and reasonable reason for Liu Bei's "inability to fully support Yuan Shao", and advance and retreat freely.

Thinking of this, Xin Bi couldn't help but complain in frustration: "The general of the chariot and the general will be under the same edict of rebellion, and within one or two years...... With all due respect, we really shouldn't spend our people's power on these long-term plans that take a long time to see the benefits. It is not too late to concentrate the people's efforts to extinguish the Cao thieves first, and then slowly rest with the people and restore the people's livelihood.

The king's foresight and wisdom are famous all over the world, why don't you persuade the general to take care of the overall situation, liaise with the general, and work together before the construction of the project? ”

Zhuge Jin sneered in his heart: Immediately extinguish the Cao thief? Do you want to make a wedding dress for Yuan Shao? If the north and south join forces to extinguish the Cao thief now, the world will be Yuan Shao's. When the time comes, if you find an excuse to start a war with your original allies, the hearts of the Han people will only be more chaotic, and the idea of "the Son of Heaven will be strong and strong" will become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it will only be more difficult to bring it back when the time comes.

But he won't say it, he'll just say, "Who the hell cares about the big picture?" My lord has sent his brother to contact Yuan Dagongzi, and also informed your army about the strange movements of the Cao army on the southern front, and also attached an analysis, isn't this enough?

But why didn't the general contact the Che Cavalry General before the Battle of Dong'a-Cangting? Our army originally estimated that the general had suffered a disastrous defeat last winter, and this year he may need to recuperate and restore his civilian strength, and it will take at least a whole year to regroup his troops and horses.

Therefore, we mistakenly thought that the general would not make a move this year, so we saw the needle and used the Jiangdong people's power to restore production and build water conservancy.

Who knew that the general was rushing forward, thinking that he had seized the opportunity of the empty Cao thieves on the northern front, and without consulting the friendly army, he acted alone, and was defeated again. But our side has warned again and again, as soon as there is a situation, we will communicate with each other, and we are so sincere to our allies, can we still find a second home in the whole world?

Is it because we don't act in unison with the generals, or are the generals unwilling to act in unity with us? Or did the general just want to take advantage of the possibility of Cao thieves going south to make some difficulties with us, so he was unwilling to inform our army in advance? ”

Xin Bi was refuted by Zhuge Jin's repeated rebuttals and was speechless.

Indeed, although Liu Bei's camp did not reinforce Yuan Shao or flank Cao Cao, the surface kung fu was really seamless, and no one in the world could condemn Liu Bei in righteousness and morality.

Yuan Shao himself did not contact friendly forces and took the initiative to launch the Battle of Dong'e, didn't he just want to use Liu Bei and then get a vote. Who knew that in the end, it was a chicken steal that could not be eaten, and kicked it on the iron plate.

Zhuge Jin sent Zhuge Jun to warn before Yuan Shao was recruited, and this move made Liu Bei completely stand on the moral high ground after Yuan Shao's cangting fiasco.

With the Zhuge brothers here, any attempt at moral kidnapping is doomed to be null and void. And after it is invalid, the Zhuge brothers can continue to keep Liu Bei standing on the commanding heights of morality and pointing fingers.

Face, benefits, Lao Tzu wants.

And after Xin Bi made up for it in his brain, he felt more and more shuddering in his heart.

Could it be that Zhuge Jun was sent to warn the eldest prince before, which was also part of Zhuge Jin's plan?

If this is the case, then it is too terrible, how deep and far is Zhuge Jin's bureau? How far in advance did you start deducing?

In the end, Simbi was inclined to think that maybe it was just a coincidence, because he thought that mortal intellect could not do such a thing.

And Zhuge Jin saw that he didn't seem to have figured out how to make a price today, so he was not in a hurry to reach a consensus with the other party immediately.

The other party should not be fully mentally prepared, or there is not enough authorization, so first eat and drink and entertain him, let him think about it slowly.

Anyway, it was Yuan Tan who should be in a hurry, not Liu Bei.

"George, I think so, you're tired from coming from afar, and go back to the city to rest for a day, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, you have to go to Wuchang in the end, so you can go back to Moling with me first, and you can think slowly on the way. ”

Anyway, if the price is offered, it will not come out of Zhuge Jin's mouth, if the other party does not know each other, he can let Bu Qi point him when he is in Qian Tang, and he can let Lu Su point him when he returns to Moling, even if the other party does not agree, this is not what Liu Bei or Zhuge Jin meant, it can be said that it is Bu Qi or Lu Su's own assertion.

Well, Lu Su seems to be a loyal elder, and he may not be suitable for playing this white face, so let's let Bu Qi do this kind of dirty work.

Simbi was toyed with in the palm of his hand, completely unable to resist.

Seeing Zhuge Jin get on the horse and drift away, he had no choice but to follow, and finally just reminded Zhuge Jin that he forgot to take the fishing rod.

Zhuge Jin smiled indifferently: "Let it go, this fishing rod has been sitting there for many days, and there will be no fish." I'm just using this to identify the results of water control - when there will be live fish in Xizeli, it means that the salinity of Qiantang County has been well controlled. ”

Xin Bi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that you are really controlling the water, and you are not doing it to push and help Yuan.
