"Go"

Zhao Yun, who heard the news, followed the whereabouts of Cai Mao's cavalry and galloped back. Zhao Yun saw Cai Mao returning angrily from Tanxi, and held the horse to stop him.

"Cai Mao, where are you forcing my lord to go?" Zhao Yun asked with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing that it was Zhao Yun, Cai Mao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, raised his sleeve to wipe it, and said: "General Zilong, Mao was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to invite the envoy to the banquet, so that the gentleman went on a raft to visit Tanxi, I don't know where to go!" ”

Zhao Yun looked up at the empty Tanxi, and said angrily: "Invite people to the banquet, how can you invite soldiers and horses." ”

Cai Mao smiled embarrassedly: "The envoy is the secretary, how can Mao not lead the men and horses to escort him." Today, the envoy is really going to Tanxi on a raft, why don't I send someone to search with the general. ”

Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said, "Yun can search alone, if you can't find my father-in-law, Cai Mao, you should do it yourself." ”

The murderous words made Cai Mao quite afraid in her heart, and she was only embarrassed.

The two teams of horsemen crossed by the wrong horse, and suddenly one of the riders in Zhao Yun's cavalry turned around and took a bow and shot, and there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a cold arrow flew out.

"Whoosh!"

The bun on Cai Mao's head was shot down by the cold arrow, and her hair fell apart. Cai Mao subconsciously touched his head, and looked behind him in shock, only the riders who were far away.

"Bastard!" Cai Mao cursed.

"The head of the family, there is no one around today, and Zhao Yun has few soldiers, so it is better to surround and kill him to avenge this arrow." The knight suggested.

Hearing this, Cai Mao was so angry that he whipped the knight, and said angrily: "Zhao Yun entered the battle with two hundred horses, threatening Peng Ze, how are you compared." ”

Saying that, Cai Mao sneered and said: "The revenge of this arrow will be avenged." ”

And the rider who released the cold arrow was being scolded by Zhao Yun with his head down.

Zhao Yun looked for Liu Bei's traces and reprimanded: "Wen Chang, how can you ignore the overall situation, if you don't shoot well and shoot Cai Mao to death, where will you trap the lord?" ”

At that time, Yan was very angry, angry that Cai Mao persecuted the lord. Therefore, if you want to use an arrow to scare Cai Mao, if you shoot her to death, you can pay for your life with your life. Wei Yan said.

Zhao Yun smiled angrily and said: "How much is your life worth, how can it be worth Cai Mao's life, the person who is in trouble in the end is not the lord." ”

Saying that, Zhao Yun sighed, patted Wei Yan's shoulder, and said, "Forget it, Cai Mao took the lead in mobilizing the army, and he has already turned his face with us, and your arrow can be regarded as today's revenge for the lord." In the future, the chief should put the overall situation first, and should not be easily angry. ”

"No!"

……

Not to mention that Zhao Yun led people to search for Liu Bei along Tanxi, and after Liu Bei was rescued by Zhuge Liang, he sat on a bamboo raft and walked with the waves.

Looking at Zhuge Liang, who was eight feet long in front of him, with a face like a crown of jade, and was dressed in a robe, he felt like a sage in the world.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, I don't know if it's Wolong?" ”

Zhuge Liang took off the hat on his head and said with a smile: "Longzhong savage, idle name, insignificant!" ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang asked: "Envoy soldiers into Jiangdong, like fish into the four seas, how can I be chased by Cai Mao today, and I am embarrassed to this point." ”

Liu Bei sighed, wanting to say something, but he was worried about Zhuge Liang's identity, and it was difficult to tell him. And Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, walked in and sat on the raft, and made tea.

After being entangled for a while, Liu Bei told the truth and said: "Prepare to help the eldest son to seize the heir, and Cai Mao to help the son to succeed." Today's eldest son will be the assassin of Yangzhou, Cai Mao has a heart of persecution and wants to be killed, so there is something just now. ”

Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Thank you Mr. for saving your life, and you will be rewarded in the future." ”

"It's just a matter of effort, and the general doesn't have to worry about it." Zhuge Liang smiled:

Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang's appearance was extraordinary, and he had Sima Hui's recommendation, so he had the intention of asking, and said: "Mr. is called Wolong, and he has heard of the name for a long time, and now he is rescued by Mr. Meng." Beggar to sit on the ground and ask for a word. ”

"Liang faux pas!" Zhuge Liang patted his head and said with a smile: "The general can sit down and rest." ”

Saying that, Zhuge Liang poured tea for Liu Bei and said: "The name of Wolong, the idler is mistakenly called, Liang is a cultivator of Nanyang, I am afraid of mistaking the general, and I dare not say it lightly." ”

Sitting on the raft, Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "Sir must have a high place, otherwise how can others call him Wolong, and I implore Mr. for advice." ”

Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Liang is afraid that he is young and talented, and his knowledge is shallow, so he asked the general by mistake." ”

Liu Bei bowed his hand again and said sincerely: "Mr. Shui Jing's words are well known, Mr. Shuijing's words, Yuan Zhi's praise, how can there be nothing." In the past, I couldn't find my husband's residence, so it was difficult to find it. It is the will of heaven that I meet Mr. Tanxi today. Mr. Wang does not abandon contempt and gives teachings. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Virtue Cao, Yuan Zhi, the master of the world; Nanjun Huo Zhongmiao has the ability of Wu Qi and rhino head. Liang is a farmer and fisherman's ear, dare to talk about world affairs? Why should the general give up the beautiful jade and seek the stubborn stone? ”

"Huh!"

Liu Bei was slightly unhappy when he saw Zhuge Liang shirking like this, but seeing that he seemed to know what Huo Jun had done, his heart moved, and he arched his hand again and said: "The eldest husband holds the genius of the world, how can he be old under Lin Quan?" May Mr. take the common people of the world as his mind, and give advice to be prepared for foolishness. ”

Seeing Liu Bei's three bows, Zhuge Liang was also moved, helped Liu Bei, and said: "The generals and soldiers go to Jiangdong, and they have a grand plan, and they are willing to hear the general's ambitions." ”

Liu Bei pondered a little and said: "The Han family is in decline, and Cao Cao usurps power. I can't measure my own strength, I want to go down to Jiangdong, take the six counties of Yangzhou as the base, go north to Jianghuai, go west to Jingyi, and rebuild the Han Dynasty. However, the wisdom is shallow, and there is nothing to be done so far, and it is subject to Xiangyang. But Mr. Wei is stupid, what a blessing! ”

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said: "The general's strategy of dividing the world into two is really courageous, if it can be achieved, and Cao Cao will confront the north and south, the Han family can be prosperous, but the general can think deeply about why the south and the north!" ”

"The southern expedition to the north has never been seen since ancient times, and there are only three ways to choose from it. Out of Jianghuai in the east, Wanluo in the middle, and Bashu in the west. ”

Zhuge Liang picked up the feather fan and said: "Wu, there is the rao of sea salt in the east, the copper of Zhangshan, the benefits of the three rivers and five lakes, and the capital of Jiangdong." However, the counties of Jiangbei were all taken by Cao Cao, and the river was divided into north and south, and they were attacked every day. Therefore, take the Jianghuai in the north and take the left side of the Ping River. ”

"To the north of Jianghuai, it is the fertile soil of the Central Plains, the land is flat, which is conducive to galloping horses, and it is also the danger of Daxian Mountain, and the solidity of Muling Pass, which is not a place to use. Therefore, Liang thought that the territory was divided into north and south, and Huaishui was the barrier of the river, and the river must be guarded. However, if the Northern Expedition is carried out, the northern soldiers and horses can come to help, so the southeast is not enough to become a big event. ”

Zhuge Liang took out the simple map from the book bag and said: "The army will take Jiangzuo and fight for Jianghan in the east." Jiang Han, Chu also. Chu, on the Bashu, down to the left of the river, west of Yongliang, east of the Central Plains, the hub of the world, the north according to the Han Dynasty, the South China Sea, the land is wide and the people are abundant, will be in the south of the county. ”

"Take the Northern Expedition of Jingzhou, take Wanluo, and Guanlong are close at hand, not thousands of miles, and go north to Heluo. Xike and the people of Bashu swept away Qinluo; The east can echo Jianghuai and advance to Xuchang. This is the core of the south and the north. ”

Furthermore, Zhuge Liang pointed to Bashu and said: "Bashu, located in the southwest, has the solidity of mountains and rivers, abundant products, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the land of abundance, and Gaozu has become an emperor because of it." Its north is connected to the right of Long, and it controls Liangzhou; In the customs clearance, it can be powerful in the world. ”

"Although Cao Cao won the north and south of the river, he was arrogant in the northwest and did not surrender. And the people of Qiangrong often rebel, and it is difficult for them to return. The general can first take Jiangdong, expand Jianghuai in the north, fight for Jingzhou in the west, and advance into Bashu. Send the general into the pass, fight with Cao Cao for the land of the northwest, collect the northwest soldiers and horses, and form a cavalry. ”

"The general is the emperor's family, the letter is written in the four seas, the heroes are generalized, the thinking is thirsty, if there are Jing, Yi, Yang three states, Baotu mountains and rivers, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, the internal cultivation of political affairs; If there is a change in the world, a general will be appointed to the army of Bashu to Guanzhong, and the general will supervise the people of Jianghuai to Xiang Qingxu, and the general will lead the people of Jingchu to Wanluo. The three-way Northern Expedition, the main partiality is divided, who dares the people not to eat pot pulp to welcome the general? As it is, the Han family can be prosperous, and the Central Plains can be restored! ”

Zhuge Liang stood on the basis of Huo Jun's division of the world, and sketched for Liu Bei his long-awaited Northern Expedition strategy. Since ancient times, there has never been a person who invaded the north from the south. He worked hard and meditated, and finally let him see the hope of winning with the Northern and Southern Expeditions, that is, in the northwest.

Cao Cao's foundation is in the Central Plains, and he holds the throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he naturally inherits the weakest link of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in Guanzhong and Liangzhou. The Eastern Han Dynasty seemed to have died on relatives, eunuchs, and yellow scarves, but in fact, the century-long Qiang Rebellion in the northwest depleted the Eastern Han Dynasty's finances all the time.

The Eastern Han Dynasty weakened, and the Qiang people also weakened. If the Qiang people can be won over and the territory can be expanded to the northwest, the lack of horses in the south can be solved. At the same time, the main army of Jingzhou, which had lost the threat of the flanks, could cooperate with the Jianghuai soldiers and sweep Henan. At that time, only the Cao regime in Hebei will survive, how long will it survive!

In Liu Bei's happy eyes, Zhuge Liang stroked the fan and smiled: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes occupy the sky." The general Xinyi is known for being harmonious in the world, and he has the land of the south and occupies an advantageous place. Among the three, the general will get two, Cao Cao will only get one, and the general will win Cao Cao! ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said with a smile: "This is based on the strategy of the north and the south, and is dedicated to the general's great cause. Why did the general think so? ”

Liu Bei laughed, startled the gulls and herons on the riverside, and said: "The strategy of the north and the south is offered by Zhong Miao, and I dare not take it." What Mr. said is also a shocking statement, and the idea of preparing the Central Plains of the North Map. ”

After a pause, Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, and said: "But Bei is trapped in Xiangyang today, and it is difficult to develop his ambitions!" ”

"Haha!" Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? A little trick can help the general get out of trouble. ”

"Where did the plan come from?" Liu Bei asked.

If you want to know how Zhuge is strategic, and see the following breakdown!

"Han Ji Zhuge Prime Minister's Family": ...... Bright bow ploughing acres, fishing and hunting, so as to sing for Liang's father. Eight feet long, every self-comparison with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, the world is not Xu Xu. The emperor was murdered by Cai Mao, took refuge in Tanxi, and had to appear to be rescued.

The emperor treats it with courtesy, and the bright love is close. The emperor was displeased, and the emperor replied: "If you are a flying tiger, you are the left wing, and Kong Ming is the right wing." "Shi Jun is three years old, Liang serves him with his brother, and Jun treats Liang with his brother, and there is no gap.
