After getting this power hidden in the shadows, Zhao Yi finally had his own eyes and ears.

He left Shamoko to continue training soldiers, and while practicing guns, he could not abandon archery, after all, bows and arrows were still a sharp weapon for defending cities in the era of cold weapons.

The immortal disciple returned to Gong'an County in the name of going home to pick up his wife, and immediately visited his father-in-law, and also transported back more than half of the property looted from the hands of the three wealthy families.

"Oh~ Hongfei, my good virtuous son-in-law, you have made a great contribution this time, but since your position has risen too quickly, your father can only reward you with some gold and silver."

Zhao Yi is actually quite satisfied with his current position, the deputy military division lieutenant general, not as tired as Zhuge Liang, he has to take care of so many things, and he can command 5,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and the most important thing is that he has not yet digested all these 5,000 people, and no matter how many there are, he can't give full play to his advantages.

"Father said and laughed, my father has given Hongfei a lot, and Hongfei is quite satisfied with the deputy military division, this time I came back to take Wanyi to live in Xiangyang, and secondly, I also brought back some military salaries to my father, and there are many places where we need money for the development of the rear."

Liu Bei looked at the baggage team lined up by a long line behind Zhao Yi, nodded with satisfaction, held the hand of his good son-in-law and said, "Okay, Hongfei's kindness has been received by his father, go, sit in the house." ”

Zhao Yi followed Liu Bei into the house, but unexpectedly saw the high table and Ming-style official hat chair that he had asked the carpenter to build before appeared in Liu Bei's house.

Liu Bei saw Zhao Yi's reaction, smiled and said: "Hongfei, this kind of high table and high chair you built is comfortable to sit on, and the legs and feet will not be sore, and it is more convenient when a few people are around, which is worth vigorously promoting." ”

"It's good if my father likes it, by the way, Hongfei has one more important thing to report to his father when he comes back this time."

"Oh? Events? ”

Liu Bei glanced left and right, asked the maid with the tea to withdraw, and ordered the soldiers outside the door not to allow anyone to approach, then closed the door tightly and sat on both sides of the square table with Zhao Yi.

"Hongfei, let's talk about something important now."

Zhao Yi organized the language and said softly: "Father, there are only you and my father and son here, Hongfei said openly and honestly, a few nights ago I watched the sky at night, pinched my fingers, and calculated my father's future, in the next few years, my father's career is in the west, and now Cao Cao has temporarily given up the plan to recapture Xiangyang and Jiangling, mainly experiencing Han Sui and Ma Teng who are aimed at Xiliang, this is our opportunity to go west." ”

Liu Bei heard that Zhao Yi was observing the sky at night, but when he was instructed by the immortals, his expression immediately became serious.

"Hongfei, you may not know, after you captured Jiangling, that Zhou Yu once came to see me Xingshi in person to ask for the guilt, but was prevaricated by his father to go back, after that he insisted on going west, leading the soldiers of Jiangdong to attack Yizhou, but the battle has not yet been fought on the way to a sickness, plus the supply of food and grass is not enough, can only return in vain, according to reliable sources, the Zhou Dudu is not light this time."

Zhao Yi nodded and said that he understood that in the history he was familiar with, Zhou Yu was not angry to death by Zhuge Liang, but he was not in good health, plus everything did not go well, he was not trusted by Sun Quan, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died young in the last life, and it seems that he can't escape his fate in this world.

But before Zhao Yi could speak, Liu Bei added with a strange expression: "I heard that before Zhou Yu fell ill and vomited blood, he shouted Hongfei's name, it seems that your outwitting Jiangling has hit him hard." ”

"Call my name?"

Zhao Yi was a little surprised this time, the very classic sentence "He Shengliang was born", and now it has become "Zhao Hongfei", should he be worried, or should he be honored?

"Father, the affairs of Jiangdong can be put aside for the time being, anyway, most of Jingzhou is now in our hands, and Sun Quan has been on guard against Zhou Yu, otherwise he would not even be unable to supply grain and grass when he goes west this time.

Hongfei's trip to Jiangdong has established a good relationship with Nalusu, and he can take advantage of the serious illness of the governor to touch the reality, and their focus is Hefei and Xuzhou, Jiaozhou, so we can rest assured that we can boldly go to Yizhou. ”

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "But Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, and his father are from their own family, so they should help each other, and now they are sending troops to Yizhou for no reason...... Isn't there something bad about it? ”

Zhao Yi smiled and stared at his old father-in-law with strange eyes, until the latter noticed that the atmosphere was a little weird, then he coughed dryly and stretched out his hand to Zhao Yi.

"You stinky boy, just say anything."

"Father, you are the unparalleled Uncle Liu Huang, you will not go to Yizhou for no reason, but Hongfei is different, I am an immortal disciple, you can't control me, Liu Zhang's incompetence occupies such a good place in vain, if we don't go, it will only be cheaper Cao Cao, then there will be enemies on all sides of Jingzhou, and it will be too late for us to think about it."

Liu Bei looked at it, there were only two people in this room, he and Zhao Yi, and his son-in-law had the identity of an immortal disciple, which was absolutely credible, and he struggled slightly in his heart for two seconds and asked, "Hongfei already has a perfect countermeasure?" ”

Zhao Yi saw that his father-in-law was no longer trying to maintain his character in front of him, so he stretched out three fingers, "Father, Hongfei has three strategies here, upper, middle, and lower, for his father to choose." ”

"Oh? Upper, middle and lower strategies? Hongfei came quickly, and I would like to hear it for my father! ”

"Father, this best strategy is to screen elite soldiers, travel day and night, and take a small way to attack Chengdu, then Liu Zhang is weak and weak, and the preparation is insufficient, my army will capture the thief and capture the king first, and it can be decided in one fell swoop."

"Isn't this too dangerous, too aggressive?"

Liu Bei's heart jumped when he heard this, and secretly said that his son-in-law was really bold, not to mention that he only had less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and Xichuan said that there were also 50,000 people, and the road was difficult and dangerous, and the burden was unsustainable, Liu Zhang was mediocre, but there was no shortage of outstanding talents in civil and military affairs under him, this trick was too risky.

Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Zhao Yi continued: "Father, don't worry, Hongfei will talk about this strategy again, which is to return Bai Dicheng, even lead Jingzhou, and slowly figure it out." ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Won't this be too slow again?" Jingzhou is a battleground for soldiers, if we don't take advantage of Cao Cao's defeat and the alliance with Sun Quan to develop and grow, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our army. ”

Zhao Yi secretly praised, and said in his heart that his old father-in-law still has two sons, his ambition is not small, and he can see the current trend clearly, so he curled two fingers, and only raised his index finger and said: "Then my father is listening to Hongfei's middle strategy, sending troops to capture Yang Huai and Gao Pei, seizing their military power, taking their cities, and dividing the troops into three ways to besiege Chengdu." ”

Liu Bei frowned and pondered this time, thinking that this middle strategy was not in a hurry, first weakening the vitality of Yizhou, seizing its city, and at the same time enhancing his own strength, taking the opportunity to besiege, and then using some psychological warfare to bewitch the people in the name of immortal disciples, then great things could be achieved.

"Good! Hongfei, let's take this middle strategy, this matter is a big matter, for the present time our army is still insufficient, but since the plan has been decided, the sooner the preparation is better, I will call the military division to discuss it in a while. ”

"Yes, the specific details still have to be finalized by the military division, Hongfei is only responsible for making a sample, but before that, we still have to contact more Wenchen generals in Yizhou and build a good relationship in advance."
