"Does Your Highness know your identity?"

Who is my identity?

Liu Chan immediately nodded and said, "I am the crown prince of Hanzhong, and I naturally know this identity." ”

Zhuge Liang was expressionless, and then asked, "What is the duty of the crown prince of Hanzhong?" ”

"Prince, inherit also!"

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily and said: "Your Highness also knows that the king's battles are all inherited by His Highness, and the king's unfinished business is also for you to complete." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan looked puzzled.

"What does the military advisor mean by this?"

"Your Highness has been away from Chengdu for a while, right?"

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Counting Nanzhong, it's been more than a year. ”

It's been more than a year.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "His Royal Highness has been away from Chengdu for too long, and he has been away from the king's side for too long, and the king can't see His Highness from time to time, so his feelings will fade and his suspicion will become heavier."

The officials in Chengdu could not see His Highness often, and they were bound to become estranged.

The generals of Chengdu will not be able to serve His Highness from time to time, and in his heart, His Highness's weight will become lighter and lighter.

The people of Chengdu can't often hear about His Royal Highness, and they will rarely have a sense of awe. ”

Liu Chan understood it.

"Does the military advisor want me to go back to Chengdu?"

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily.

"The duty of the prince is to inherit the great cause. What His Royal Highness is doing now is not the prince's act, but the general's business, and now the king's body is indeed fine, but there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, in case of illness, His Royal Highness is not around, wouldn't it be in vain to increase the disaster? ”

Liu Chan naturally knew that Zhuge Liang's words made sense, but he also had his own ideas.

"Without me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Wei State."

"Hahaha~"

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said: "His Royal Highness left Chengdu, pacified the rebellion in Nanzhong, and subdued Jingzhou, and now he has won Runan, and the military achievements are rare, and there are few people in the world who can do it.

But His Royal Highness said that without me here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete with the Wei State, and I will underestimate the generals and ministers under His Highness. ”

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Liu Chan's face, Zhuge Liang continued: "Your Highness has opened a lecture on martial arts and Chongwen Hall, recruiting talents from all over the world, and now the scholars of Jingzhou and Runan have entered the hands and ears of His Highness!" Aren't their talents enough to be put to good use?

Aren't Ah Huilan, E Huan, Pang De, Yu Ban, Wen Ping and other generals brave enough? Jingzhou has Yunchang to guard it, and Yuan Zhi assists it, so why worry? Runan has Meng Jianmeng Gongwei here, how can it be lost? ”

With a sigh of relief, Zhuge Liang continued: "Now that the situation in Runan has been decided, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others, I am afraid that they will not dare to stay in Runan for a long time, their troops will withdraw, before the civil strife in Wei is pacified, there will be no war in Runan, and it is a good time for His Highness Cheng to return to Chengdu!" ”

Also.

Liu Chan went to Jingzhou, to Nanzhong, and even to Runan, and the reason why he was able to win all battles.

In addition to his good planning, it is also related to his ability to collect talents and win people's hearts.

This is something given by his status as the crown prince of Hanzhong.

As long as he gives an order to open a martial arts hall, the local scholars will definitely send their children into it, and unconsciously buy their hearts.

This is something that Guan Yu and they can't do.

But.

Zhuge Liang's words are also reasonable.

He has been away from Chengdu for more than a year.

It's time to go back.

Say something against the grain.

In case Liu Bei really dies one day, he is not around, and it will indeed add a lot of variables.

Zhuge Liang is also a very rational person, it is true that Liu Chan has been in danger many times, and now he has the intention of showing his strength in Runan, so he has to face Liu Chan and have a showdown with him.

His Royal Highness, his ability, is comparable to few people in the world, but the burden on his body is also comparable to few people in the world.

Now the forces around Liu Bei are basically invested in Liu Chan.

The Yuan Cong faction, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, not only sent their sons to serve Liu Chan, but also sent their daughters to him.

The Yizhou faction, like Changyu and Wu Yi, have already bet on Liu Chan.

It is the Jingzhou faction, these scholars, and they are basically looking forward to Liu Chan and horses.

Once His Royal Highness has three strengths and two weaknesses, it will not have a smaller impact than the death of the Great King.

Or even bigger.

The king has passed away, and His Royal Highness can take over.

His ability, the generals, courtiers, and scholars under the king are all recognized.

But if something happens to Your Highness, isn't there no one to inherit the great inheritance that has been laid?

Like Liu Bei's other sons, they are young and incompatible.

In today's troubled times, the weak master inherits the industry, who believes that he can revive the Han Dynasty?

Liu Bei relied on righteousness, personal charm, and the name of reviving the Han dynasty to gather people of insight from all over the world.

If those people of insight saw that there was no hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty, what would they think and do?

"Jingzhou has been fighting for a long time, and there is no ability to march anymore, although Yizhou is owned by my king, but the eastern people and Bayi are entrenched in the eastern Sanba land, and they still have to be suppressed by Yide, and the wealthy families in various places are not obedient. Hanzhong Tuntian, all kinds of wastes are prosperous, go north to seize Yongliang, and take the horse breeding land. Go south to level the barbarians and obtain barbarian soldiers. It is much better than His Highness spending time in Runan. ”

Perhaps worried that Liu Chan would not leave, Zhuge Liang hurriedly designated three major events for Liu Chan in Yizhou.

First, in Yizhou, there was no peace.

Yizhou wealthy family, there are many disobedient people.

The people and Bayi were very rebellious, and they had colluded with Cao Wei before, which caused a lot of trouble for Liu Bei.

The second is that Hanzhong is in ruins, going north to cut Yongliang, and raising horses in pastures, which is the top priority of reviving the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Chan came up with the idea of a hybrid horse.

But I don't know how much time it will take to turn this idea into reality.

The third is the barbarians in the south.

Liu Chan just pacified the four counties of Nanzhong.

In the south of the four counties of Nanzhong, there are still many untamed barbarians.

Now that there are few people in Yizhou, if you win the barbarian population and enrich yourself, you will be able to increase your national strength faster.

moreover

Liu Chan's pacification of the four counties in Nanzhong is not necessarily tame.

This point can be glimpsed in Deng Ai's communication with him.

In Zhuge Liang's view, it will take several years to do these three things well, and if these three things are done well, it will be ten years later.

Ten years later, the people of Jingzhou will recover, and when His Royal Highness comes to toss again, he will not be afraid.

No way.

His Royal Highness can fight and fight, but he is also a good hand at consuming grain and grass, swords and soldiers, and baggage.

After several months of fighting, Jingzhou's land has been scraped thin.

Send this little ancestor away first.

"Brazil's ditch, its people are brave and healthy, good at singing and dancing, the neighboring mountains overlap, the danger is secondary, the ancient capital of the country is also, Zen has also heard of it, and it is indeed necessary to calm it."

The land of Brazil must be calmed, and it has been a long time since I thought about my family leaving Chengdu.

The sisters of the Zhang family, I'm afraid they miss him very much.

So, Liu Chan nodded and said, "After I explain the follow-up matters of Runan, I will prepare to return to Chengdu." ”

Seeing Liu Chan's answer, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted Liu Chan and said, "Your Highness is wise." ”

Liu Chan shook his head, thinking to himself what was so wise about this.

"I wonder what the military advisor thinks about this follow-up arrangement?"

Since he is leaving, it is natural to appoint trustworthy and capable people to guard the local area.

Otherwise, as soon as he leaves, the territory he has beaten down will be regained by the Wei army, which will be funny.
