"Liu Mingfu is right!"

Jin Xuan said approvingly: "Head-to-head, even if we can win Liu Bei, in the end, we will lose both, it is better to form an alliance secretly, and when Liu Bei arrives, we will join forces to attack suddenly, and we can break this game!" ”

On the question of how to fight, Liu Du's plan was highly approved by them.

also thinks that Liu Du has no problem doing this.

Zhao Fan said: "Our four counties in Jingnan, each with its own army, each with its own government, can be subordinated to Liu Bei, but will not hand over the military power, let alone the power, this is our bottom line." ”

Han Xuan echoed: "If Liu Bei wants us to pay, then we will rebel!" ”

"That's right, it's the other way around!"

Liu Du said loudly: "Since you have no opinions, our four-county alliance has been officially established. ”

"The alliance is officially formed!"

The other three Taishou said in unison.

Rarely, they came together.

It had to be done for the sake of their common good.

Liu Du nodded contentedly, they faced Jingbei in Lingling, which was the first to bear the brunt, facing Liu Bei with their own strength, and there was a lot of pressure.

Now that they have pulled the other three counties together and dragged them into the water, they can do whatever they want.

——

Xiangyang.

Also on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhuge Liang got a piece of information, Liu Du secretly contacted the information of the three counties of Changsha, because the transmission of information takes time, when Jingnan's fine work began to transmit information, the four counties of the Taishou had not yet met.

However, it is not difficult for Zhuge Liang to guess that according to the time of the transmission of information, it can be concluded that those wise people have already met.

How the people in Jingnan met, there was no threat to Zhuge Liang at all, and it was quite easy to dismantle their alliance, so they didn't care about it.

However, after reading the information, he still took it to Liu Bei to take a look.

Liu Bei frowned before he finished reading it.

In fact, Liu Du's worries are not unreasonable, Liu Bei does have the intention of completely taking Jingnan into his own hands, even Zhuge Liang thinks so.

The four counties of Jingnan are in the hands of Liu Du and others, and Liu Bei is not at ease.

In addition, Liu Du is Liu Biao's old man, and he can still control the military power, so he is even more uneasy, and he must be firmly in his own hands.

Otherwise, the four counties of Jingnan are not considered to be obedient.

"What does Kong Ming think?"

Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "That's it!" According to my guess, Liu Du invited several other Taishou to Lingling, mainly to discuss how to deal with us, and the four Taishou Alliance, which seems to be very powerful, is actually scattered. ”

Liu Bei asked, "Why did Kong Ming say that?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It's very simple, the four of them can't unite, we want to break it down, it's actually very easy." As long as we provoke two of them, and the remaining two are self-defeating, even if we don't provoke, with our current strength, it will not be very difficult to directly subdue them by force. ”

Seeing Zhuge Liang so confident, Liu Bei's nervous heart eased, and said, "We don't have to care about Liu Du and the others?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Don't worry about it now. ”

However, Liu Bei still has a question, asking: "If we want to pacify Jingnan, won't it delay our development progress?" ”

Zhuge Liang also considered this concern, and said calmly: "It won't slow down, but it's still a good opportunity for military training." The four Taishou in Jingnan, I don't care about it, unless they have the guidance of a master, they are a tool for us to train our troops. ”

After receiving such a confident response, Liu Bei was completely relieved.

Since Jingnan's four taishou are so weak, there is nothing to worry about.

"After the ice and snow melt, whether it is Jingnan or Liangzhou, these layouts will be operational."

"The lord should prepare in advance and act only after the snow melts."

"As for the four Taishou in Jingnan, after a while, I will arrange for someone to contact them, and use a small discord to make it impossible for them to maintain unity, and everything is under control."

Zhuge Liang continued.

"Good!"

Liu Bei is overjoyed!

Zhuge Wolong, it is really extraordinary.

Wolong and phoenix, get one person, Liu Bei thought to himself that his world was completely stable.

"Kong Ming, and Mr. Feng Xiao, we really can't help it?"

Liu Bei then thought of Pang Tong again.

People are always greedy, and he is no exception, if he doesn't collect all the sleeping dragons and phoenixes, he feels that he is not perfect.

"Difficult!"

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "I wanted to contact Shiyuan many times, but the people sent out had no news, and none of them could come back." It can be seen that Cao Cao must be staring at Pang Shiyuan, his freedom is restricted, and I am still worried about whether Shiyuan is still alive. ”

Liu Bei said viciously: "Abominable Cao thief! ”

cut off Pang Tong like this and snatched away Mr. Feng Xiao, who belonged to him, and in his heart, he had already scolded Cao Cao over and over again.

Zhuge Liang said: "Shiyuan's matter can only be forgotten!" ”

It really can only be counted.

No matter how sorry Pang Tong is, he can't beat Xu Du to rob people, so he can only put these thoughts down.

"Lord, for now, we can just do it according to the plan."

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "My plan, there will be no problems." ”

Liu Bei affirmed: "I believe in Kong Ming! ”

There is still some time before the snow melts, enough for them to be ready, and then it will shock everyone.

With the assistance of Zhuge Wolong, Liu Bei is thinking about it.

——

Liangzhou.

The wind and snow in the northwest region are heavier than those in the Central Plains, and the weather is colder.

Han Sui found a reason to go out for winter hunting.

At this time, he had been away from Guzang for a few days, and came to the vicinity of Yumen Pass, where he met with some envoys from small countries in the Western Regions, and the leader of a large Xianbei tribe met near Yumen Pass.

This is Chen Gong's advice to him, if Liangzhou's troops are not enough, he can borrow foreign troops.

Borrowing foreign troops to fight is no stranger to them.

For example, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han Dynasty court asked the Xiongnu and Xianbei to borrow soldiers, and of course they needed to give money.

Those foreign tribes are almost the mercenaries of the Han Dynasty, for example, not long after the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Youzhou Rebellion broke out, and the Wuhuan invasion was borrowed, which was to borrow the soldiers of the Xiongnu to pacify.

At that time, the Han court gave the Huns a lot of money and grain.

However, because the money was not enough, they could not afford to give it all, so of course the Huns were not convinced, and they came in, and it was not easy to calm down.

Han Sui also wants to hire mercenaries now.

The Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was almost deserted.

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are each in their own way, and the Han Dynasty no longer has a sense of existence for them.

If Han Sui wants to borrow soldiers, he has to give money, and if he can't afford to give money, he can also give goods.

Give the Han salt, cloth, grain, wine and other things, and invite mercenaries.

In particular, salt and cloth, whether in the Western Regions or the grasslands, are necessities and scarce goods.

When they heard that they could make money, they immediately came to contact Han Sui.

In fact, Han Sui can't take out so many things now.

But it doesn't prevent him from writing blank checks first, as long as he gets Liangzhou in his hands, and then marches into Guanzhong, plundering Ma Teng and others, salt and cloth and other things, he will definitely be able to give it, but it is an installment payment.

These are all taught by Chen Gong, and Han Sui thinks it makes sense and can be used.
