Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 471

It has to be said that Zhuge Liang is worthy of being the legendary number one wise man of the Three Kingdoms and his "wisdom" characteristic. Although it cannot be inferred accurately, it can be guessed that Liu He secretly promoted all of this.

And the fact is true, even Lu Xun's escape was arranged by Liu He. Liu He ordered Xu Shu to write down the method of breaking the formation and pass it on to his old father-in-law, Huang Chengyan. He stayed outside Lu Xun's Kuiguan, then rode a donkey slowly to the outside of the formation, entered the formation according to Xu Shu's teaching, and brought Lu Xun out.

Seeing an old man bring him out, Lu Xun was very grateful. He thanked Huang Chengyan endlessly, and quickly asked Huang Chengyan's name in order to repay him.

Huang Chengyan revealed his identity, and said that Liu He knew through calculation that there was a general star who died outside Kuiguan. Liu He couldn't bear to lose the star, so he asked Huang Chengyan to rescue him. In addition, Huang Chengyan also told Lu Xun that Liu He The army and the Jiangdong army will cooperate wholeheartedly to realize the plan to carve up Jingzhou. However, due to the full-scale war with Cao Cao before, the lieutenant general suffered too much damage and was in short supply. Now he is unable to deal with Liu Bei. All can only be entrusted to Sun Quan. He also told Lu Xun that Liu Bei's general Guan Yu escaped from Xudu by taking advantage of Liu He's unpreparedness. It is suggested that Lu Xun take the initiative to go to assist Tai Shici to fight against Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, and put forward the policy of confrontation, which is to fight a war of attrition with the opponent.

Lu Xun thanked Huang Chengyan profusely and had a great impression of Liu He. At the same time, he also believed that Liu He's words were very correct. So after bidding farewell to Huang Chengyan and returning to Wu County, he immediately proposed to go to Jiaozhou to help Taishi Ci. Sun Quan was very happy after hearing this. I was happy, and immediately appointed Lu Xun as Tai Shici's military adviser and deputy general, and let him take office on a regular basis to help Tai Shici.

Later facts proved that it was precisely because of Lu Xun's arrival that Taishici's army was prevented from further retreating, allowing Taishici to gain a firm foothold in Yuejun, and to achieve a long-term confrontation with Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang's army.

However, although Zhuge Liang's judgment is correct, it does not mean that Liu Bei's judgment is also correct. Now Liu Bei is very grateful to Liu He, because Liu He released Guan Yu back, which made his Linjiang avert the crisis and let the northern part of Yizhou After he settled down completely, he was able to free up his hands to allow Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang to attack Nanzhong, thereby preventing the Jiangdong Army from further attacking the Shu Army. It can be said that if Liu He had not released Guan Yu, none of this would have happened. It is possible to become the second Liu Zhang.

It was precisely because of this feeling that Liu Bei ignored Zhuge Liang's suggestion at all. For him, the biggest enemy now is Sun Quan. Sun Quan seized his Jingnan four counties, Nanjun and the entire Jiaozhou, and Liu He just seized his Hanzhong, and strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as seizure, because after all, it was Zhang Lu who surrendered to Liu He, not him.

Of course, as a hero of the generation, Liu Bei is not without wisdom, nor is he unprepared against Liu He, but Liu Bei knows that Liu He's help is what he has to ask for, and he also knows that Liu He is using him to deal with Jiangdong, but why is he Isn't it pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the banner, using Liu He to deal with Sun Quan and recover the lost ground?
And now that Sun Quan occupies Jiangdong, he can only hope to attack Xuzhou and welcome the Han Emperor if he first seizes the land of Jiangdong, or even captures Jiaozhou, so that he can gain political advantages and great prestige.

It was based on the above considerations that Liu Bei decisively chose not to listen to Zhuge Liang's advice, and went all out to compete with Sun Quan to see who was superior.

At this time, Xu Du, Deng Zhi came to Liu He, raised his hands and said: "My lord, your move is really brilliant. Lu Xun was saved, and his favor towards the lord was greatly improved. At the same time, Lu Xun's return to Jiangdong was equivalent to the lord putting him back." Since General Lu Meng is also here, his loyalty to Sun Quan will definitely decrease. In the future, as long as Lu Xun says a word to his lord under the right conditions, it will arouse Sun Quan's suspicion, which is equivalent to alienating them. The relationship between the monarch and his ministers; as for the Shu army, the situation is similar. The lower official can see that Guan Yu is very grateful to his master for letting him return. Although this may not be enough to alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and him, it is not without benefits. , now both the Jiangdong Army and the Shu Army have reasons to fight, and the Shu Army's comprehensive strength is not as good as Jiangdong's, and it is still inevitable to be defeated in the end. At that time, it is not impossible for Guan Yu to defect to the lord..."

After Deng Zhi returned to Xudu, he reported to Liu He in detail what he had seen and heard after his mission to Central Shu, and heard about this series of strategies from Liu He. What he said now was not flattery, but words of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Liu He said with a smile: "All of this is not due to me alone. It was Ziming's skill that found Lu Xun trapped and released him to increase his favorability. It was Bo Miao who made Liu Bei agree to join me. The success of the strategy of driving tigers and wolves to eat is due to Wen Ruo, and the implementation of this strategy is the result of the joint efforts of many people, how can I take these credits for myself?"

Deng Zhi said very emotionally: "But without the master's wise leadership, it would be impossible to realize all of this, not to mention that our skills are all achieved through the master's wind measurement. If there is no master, Zhi may be just a Ordinary internal affairs talents, working as a small official, have limited lifetime achievements."

Hearing this, Liu He laughed without saying a word, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart: "My own ability value is above the second-rate. How can such a talent not have a place in Shu Han, where human resources are relatively scarce? In fact, Deng Zhi was appointed as a chariot general in Shu Han." , but now it is absolutely difficult for me to reach this step when I am full of talents, so from this point of view, Deng Zhi's status will be lower than what he deserves, but I can guarantee that he will be his wife and son, even if he is in Feng The nobleman will definitely be higher than what he deserved in history, the official position is only for a while, but the title is for a lifetime, and it may even be passed on from generation to generation, believe me, this is not a wrong for him."

After sighing, Liu He ordered Deng Zhi to go down to rest, and then called Chen Dao, and secretly asked the spies sent by Chen Dao to pay attention to the movements of Sun Quan and Liu Bei at all times, and to report in time and decisively. He revealed his identity, because he had a hunch that the big fish had already surfaced, and he was about to catch the net.
