The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 102 Persuading Liu Bei
It's a pity that I lost Xuzhou back then, and since then I can only wander around, and I no longer have the strength to fight against Cao Cao.If Yide hadn't been drinking and made trouble at the beginning, if Xuzhou had been in his hands all the time, it might be a different situation at this time, the past is too painful to look back on!

Liu Bei asked: "Where can we go after leaving Jingzhou?"

"Go to Yizhou!" Zhuge Liang unfolded a map, pointed at Yizhou and said, "The current shepherd of Yizhou, Liu Zhang, and my lord are both members of the Han clan. My lord is going in the name of seeking refuge, so he should accept it. Liu Zhang has a weak and tolerant temperament." , lacked prestige and strategy, and relied on people from Dongzhou, which had long aroused dissatisfaction with the local family forces in Yizhou. Liang heard that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong had a vengeance for killing their mother. Zhang Lu repeatedly invaded Yizhou, but Liu Zhang could not stop him. My lord can help Liu Zhang used his resistance to Zhang Lu as an excuse to gradually take control of the military, and then secretly contacted the Yizhou Group forces who were dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's rule. When the time was right, he could replace Liu Zhang in one fell swoop. Yizhou was dangerous and fertile, and the country was prosperous. The land of Yizhou is the foundation of the emperor's fortune. If my lord takes Xichuan and then plans to take Dongchuan, he can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and great achievements can be expected!"

Liu Bei was a little moved after hearing this, but then he said: "Liu Jiyu and Bei are from the same clan. If he surrenders first and then attacks, he may be reviled by the world!" Liu Bei has had a bad reputation in his life. If he really does what Zhuge Liang said, Even if we can capture Yizhou, our reputation will be completely ruined.

Zhuge Liang was a little helpless. How could there be no ownerless territory now?If you don't seize other people's property, do you still expect others to give you their own territory?Cao Cao is willing to give it to you?Sun Quan is willing to give it to you?Liu Qi is willing to give it to you?You think everyone is Tao Qianna! !Besides, as long as you can capture Yizhou and have a good reputation, it doesn't matter if someone talks about it. Gaozu was still a little ruffian back then!

"My lord, in these troubled times, a man should work hard to make contributions, but if he has no foundation, how can he compete with the thief Cao? At that time, the lord will treat Liu Jiyu well. If the lord does not take it, if it is taken by the thief Cao, it will be too late to regret it. !”

Liu Bei was still hesitant, not only because he was worried about his reputation, but also because he was also concerned about the success rate of this plan. Some things cannot be successful if the plan is done well, let alone seizing someone's foundation. How can there be any say? So easy.

So Liu Bei said: "Military division, let me think about it again."

Zhuge Liang also knows what Liu Bei is worried about. To be honest, he himself is not 100% confident in this plan, and it is hard to even say half of the success rate. However, this is already the best way out at present, unless Liu Qi and Zhang Wu suddenly My brain is flooded, and I have to give up Jingzhou to Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei be the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang resigned and went back to rest. It would be great if there was no Zhang Wu! !

After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Bei meditated for a long time alone, filled with emotions in his heart, when would he be able to realize his ideals?Just when he was thinking a lot, his subordinates reported that Zhang Wu, the governor of Jingzhou, came to visit him.

Liu Bei quickly came out to greet him. "The governor is here, and I am far away to welcome you. Forgive me, forgive me!"

Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande, don't blame me for disturbing your rest!"

"Where, where, please come in."

After the two sat down, Zhang Wu said: "Mr. , I wonder what Xuande's will is?" Zhang Wu came to visit this time to settle the matter quickly, lest Zhuge Liang see that he has no chance in Xiangyang and trick Liu Bei into running away again.

"The Commander-in-Chief is a civilized military officer, loyal and brave. It is enough to be assisted by the Commander-in-Chief, but I can't afford it!" Liu Bei is not stupid either. Although the position of Xiangyang Prefect is very high, it is second only to all administrative positions in Jingzhou. Cai Mao, the governor of the state, was also the governor of Xiangyang at the beginning.But Cai Mao had real power at that time, and Liu Bei did not. The military power and the people under him were all yours, and I was just a decoration.

Liu Bei also knew that the relationship between people would change with the change of status. When Zhang Wu was just a partial general of Jiangxia, Liu Bei's status was higher than Zhang Wu's. The two of them occasionally talked about each other. You can say something between friends.Now that Zhang Wu is the governor of Jingzhou, his power position is no longer comparable to that of Liu Bei, so he can't speak so casually.Just like when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei and Cao Cao admired each other and had a good relationship in private, but later they gradually became enemies.

"What Mr. Xuande said is wrong. I am just a warrior. I can lead troops and fight. But when it comes to governing the place and appeasing the people, I am far worse than Mr. Xuande. Who in the world doesn't know Uncle Liu Huang's name of benevolence and righteousness? Xuande Gong is both a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the uncle of Master Zhou Mu, so he is suitable to assist Master Zhou Mu." Zhang Wu also made it very clear in what he said. You are asked to assist Liu Qi so that you can help with government affairs. Military affairs You don't have to worry about it.

Liu Bei also understood that he didn't want to do that. He still wanted to make a difference. If it didn't work, Kong Ming's plan could also be tried.So Liu Bei said: "The governor is too modest. Who in Jingzhou doesn't know that the governor is both civil and military and has many talents under his command. To be honest, Bei came to Xiangyang this time to say goodbye to his nephew Liu Qixian and the governor. With the assistance of the governor Liu Qixian's nephew, I am relieved."

They really wanted to run away, and they seemed to want to fight again, but where else could you go?
"Oh? Is Duke Xuande leaving Jingzhou? I don't know where Duke Xuande is going?"

"Well, it hasn't been decided yet." Of course Liu Bei would not tell Zhang Wu about Zhuge Liang's plan. It is hard to say what the relationship between him and Zhang Wu is now.

Zhang Wu secretly laughed in his heart. Pang Tong and Xu Shu had already calculated all the possible strategies Zhuge Liang might adopt. They all agreed that if Kong Ming wanted to persuade Liu Bei to leave, the next step would most likely be to go to Xichuan.

"If my predictions are correct, Kong Ming should have persuaded Duke Xuande to go to Yizhou and seek refuge with Liu Zhang, right?"

"Ah! You..." Liu Bei was taken aback, how did he know!
"Haha, don't be surprised, uncle. I know that the emperor has the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, and I also know the plan that Kong Ming has made for the emperor. In these troubled times, who doesn't want to do something good and be famous in history? But as the saying goes, 'Those who are unhappy in life are ten Seven or eight years ago, some things did not go as smoothly as we thought. Duke Xuande has been fighting in the world for twenty years since he conquered the Yellow Turbans, but he still has no place to settle down. We can only say that the time is the same and the fate is! Jingzhou This is the foundation of Liu Jingsheng, and it is justifiable to pass it on to the eldest son Liu Qi as the governor of the state. Liu Jingsheng was kind to the people of Jingzhou. As long as Liu Qi is still around, who can take Jingzhou away? Apart from Jingzhou, the world is as big as Liu Zhang of Yizhou. It is possible that Duke Xuande will be accepted. However, I would like to ask, does Duke Xuande intend to sincerely surrender to Liu Zhang as his subordinate, or is he using the name of surrender to seize the foundation?"
