Three Kingdoms: I switched to Liu Bei, why are you crying, Cao Cao?

Chapter 29: First Military Meeting, Shocking Statements

Time travelers usually have golden fingers.

For time travelers who travel back to ancient times, the greatest golden finger is nothing more than foresight into history.

Similarly, Qin Zhen also has this golden finger.

But in addition to this, Qin Zhen actually has a golden finger.

This golden finger is not the system, nor is it the old man in the ring, but memory.

Simply put, Qin Zhen's memory is amazing.

For some reason, after traveling through time, he could not only repeat all the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, but he could also read ten lines at a glance and recite everything he had read once by heart!

This is also the reason why he was valued by Cai Yong and accepted as his disciple.

Similarly, thanks to this powerful memory, he is also very good at discovering opportunities hidden in every historical detail, taking advantage of the situation and obtaining the greatest benefits for his side.

The reason why he dared to suggest Liu Bei to seize Huainan was because since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, there were plenty of opportunities to help Liu Bei take advantage of the situation and rise!
Among them, the conflict between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu is an extremely important part.

However, he knew that these things would happen, but Liu Bei and others did not.

Especially Jian Yong, upon hearing what Qin Zhen said, he was stunned and said:

"I wonder who this gentleman is?"

Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled and said to Jian Yong:
"This is a great sage who has just joined our army. His surname is Wang and his name is He!"

As he spoke, he whispered a few more words to Jian Yong.

When Jian Yong heard this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Liu Bei actually invited Qin Zhen!
This is great news for them.

But when he thought of Qin Zhen's words, he hurriedly asked:

"From what you just said, did you already know that Lu Bu would form an alliance with Yuan Shu?"

Qin Zhen heard this, shook his head and laughed:
"It's not that we already knew it, but the situation is supposed to be like this!"

"Because now Sun Ce and Yuan Shu have broken up, although Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, he has been attacked from all sides!"

"Yuan Shu now has Cao Cao to the north, Lu Bu to the east, and Sun Ce to the south!"

"We must find an ally to break the impasse!"

"But Cao Cao is supporting the emperor in the north, and Sun Ce has just rebelled in the south. Only Lu Bu can form an alliance."

"Although Yuan Shu has this intention, Lu Bu may not be able to respond. Don't worry!!"

After hearing Qin Zhen's analysis, Jian Yong couldn't help but admire him:

"No wonder Yuanzhi praised you so highly, you are truly amazing!"

When Liu Bei saw that Qin Zhen analyzed the situation thoroughly in just a few words, he smiled.

This is the role of a military advisor!

If he had heard this news in the past, he would have had to gather everyone together to discuss it, but it would have taken half a day to come up with anything.

But when it comes to Qin Zhen, he can get the answer directly.

What an amazing feeling!
He thought about it and smiled even more:

"Well, Xianhe has been seen. It's a good opportunity for you to come. You can go and call Zizhong, Gongyou and others to discuss matters. It's also a good opportunity for you to meet the gentleman!"

"That's right, I'll go there now!"

Jian Yong accepted the order and immediately arranged for someone to go and inform everyone.

Seeing this, Xu Shu also bowed and said:
"I just happened to be returning to the army, so I informed the generals that I was here to see him!"

Since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were aware of the matter of conveying Qin Zhen's identity, he had to go in person.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, let Xu Shu leave, and personally took Qin Zhen to the county government.

After entering the mansion, he arranged the banquet while bringing Qin Zhen to the main hall.

In the main hall, there are several permanent desks with cushions.

Seeing this, Liu Bei asked his servants to bring a desk and placed it on his left side, and said with a smile:

"The county government is simple and crude, I hope Zixuan won't despise it!"

His smile was forced, which seemed to be a bit unfair to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen saw this and said with a smile:

“Although I have a humble room, my virtue is fragrant!”

"How can you call this place simple and shabby, since you are such a virtuous person?"

These words touched Liu Bei's heart.

He knew that Qin Zhen was highly valued under Cao Cao and must have received a lot of gold and silver rewards.

I thought Qin Zhen would be a little disgusted with his simple conditions.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhen started to comfort him instead.

It is rare to see someone who is so indifferent to fame and fortune and has a clear mind.

But although Qin Zhen didn't care, Old Liu was not the kind of person who would mistreat his subordinates. He secretly made up his mind that when the company became more powerful in the future, he would not mistreat these founding fathers.

While thinking in his heart, he praised again:
"Zixuan is truly a noble man!"

After praising him like this, he sat down next to Qin Zhen and chatted with him about the current situation.

The two chatted for a long time, and then they saw people walking outside the mansion one after another.

First, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others came with Jian Yong. When they saw Qin Zhen and Liu Bei sitting in the same row, they were all shocked.

You must know that in this era, seats are closely related to status!
In their army, Liu Bei always sat alone in the main seat, with Guan Yu as the chief military general and Mi Zhu as the chief civil official.

Later, even when Xu Shu came, his position was behind Mi Zhu.

But now, this young man is sitting with Liu Bei, which shows how high his status is in Liu Bei's heart! So, who is this young man?
Just as Xu Shu said, because Qin Zhen had not agreed to come out of seclusion before, the ministers under Liu Bei did not know Qin Zhen's identity.

Even Mi Zhu and others had not heard any news, so when they saw this, they hurriedly asked Jian Yong who was standing by.

But Jian Yong smiled and said:
"This is a great sage in our army. When you all arrive, my lord will introduce him to you!"

After hearing this, the two had to suppress their curiosity.

After a long time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals followed Xu Shu into the county government.

Seeing everyone here, Liu Bei sat up straight, smiled at them and said:

"Everyone is here, let's officially start the meeting."

"But before we discuss the matter, let me introduce myself to you all first!"

He pointed his hand towards Qin Zhen and said:

"This gentleman, whose surname is Wang and whose given name is He, is a great sage of the time!"

"From today on, you are my military advisor. All your orders will be my orders. Whenever your presence comes, it will be like my presence in person!"

"I hope you will listen and believe, and don't break the rules!"

As soon as Liu Bei said this, there was an uproar in the venue.

Xu Shu and Jian Yong seemed fine, but Guan Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, while Zhang Fei looked displeased.

Although the two knew Qin Zhen's identity, they still felt uncomfortable when the other party came and directly climbed over their heads.

As for the others, they were even more shocked.

They had never heard of the name Wang He!
Liu Bei actually entrusted him with important tasks right from the start and almost delegated all his power to him!
Even Guan Yu probably didn't receive such treatment!
Where did this young man come from?
How could he gain Liu Bei's trust?
But amid the uproar of the crowd, Qin Zhen smiled faintly and said:

"I am honored to have been entrusted with this important task by you, Lord Ming. Even though I will die, I will never be able to repay you. I will do my best to fulfill my duties. I hope you will bear with me and work together to achieve this great cause!"

"Just now, my lord only said my name, but not my courtesy name. I would like to introduce myself here. My courtesy name is Ziye. If you don't mind, you can call me Ziye!"

After Qin Zhen's brief introduction, Liu Bei looked at everyone and asked:
"That's the situation. I wonder if you have any objection to Zi Ye taking on the post of military advisor?"

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, and no one spoke. The scene was silent for a while.

But even with this kind of scene, Mi Zhu and others were shocked again, and they all looked towards Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case!

It would be fine if they had no objections, but how could Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have no objections?

These two brothers have always obeyed Liu Bei and no one else.

Why are you silent now?
While they were wondering, Liu Bei smiled and said:

"Then it's settled. Let's start discussing matters now!"

"I have called you all here today, firstly to announce Ziye's position to you, and secondly because our army has received news that Yuan Shu wants to form an alliance with Lu Bu, and now the envoy has arrived in Xuzhou."

"Tell me, everyone, what should our army do?"

After hearing the topic, everyone began to ponder the pros and cons.

But today was different from the past. Everyone thought for a while, then raised their heads, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but frown and said:

"Why don't you say anything?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Zhu smiled and said:
"My Lord, you may not know that in the past, we have never had anyone to preside over our meetings, so we can speak freely!"

"But today the military advisor is here, and we all want to hear his opinions, so I won't say anything!"

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, Zhang Fei also took the opportunity to say:
"I also want to hear the military advisor's advice!"

After the two of them expressed their opinions, Sun Qian and others began to agree, but Guan Yu continued to remain silent.

Only Xu Shu and Jian Yong frowned when they saw this.

The current trend is not good. The people's behavior clearly shows that they are not convinced that Qin Zhen can occupy a high position as soon as he comes.

It would be fine if it was others, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also like this. It can be seen that Liu Bei's delegation of power this time may have had a counterproductive effect.

However, when the two looked at Qin Zhen, they found that he looked calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.

Could it be that this is also under Qin Zhen's control?

As everyone reacted in different ways, Liu Bei looked at Qin Zhen with an apologetic look:
"You all want to hear the military advisor's opinion. I would like to ask you to give me your opinion."

Qin Zhen heard this, raised his lips slightly, shook his head and smiled:

"In my opinion, this matter is not worth discussing!"

"Although Lü Bu is fickle, he is also a Han official and will not agree to an alliance with Yuan Shu!"

When he said this, everyone frowned, and Zhang Fei could no longer hold back and sneered:

"Military Advisor, you are so arrogant. This is a national issue that is not worth discussing, but I wonder what is worth discussing?"

Qin Zhen saw this and said indifferently:

"Although Lu Bu's matter is important, it is not as important as the development of our army!"

"In my opinion, our army should discuss the matter of seizing Xiang County and taking over Pei State!"

Seize Xiang County and take control of Pei State!
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, even Liu Bei was a little surprised.

They have already discussed the matter of seizing Xiang County.

The conclusion is that it is not feasible!
At least for now, with their military strength, it is difficult to achieve this goal.

I didn't expect that Qin Zhen would have to tackle this tough problem as soon as he took office!
