The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 96

After Liu Bei returned to Xinye, he told Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others what happened in Xiangyang.Guan Yu has always been known for his loyalty, but Zhang Fei has always hated those who betrayed him. When they saw Lu Bu, they always shouted "Slave with three surnames", so they hated Cai Mao who betrayed and murdered the lord very much.

Zhuge Liang was in deep thought and remained silent, because the situation in Jingzhou was changing so fast that it was beyond his control.Originally according to his plan, let Liu Bei buy people's hearts in Xinye first, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to seize Jingzhou after Liu Biao's death.But Liu Biao was poisoned to death by Cai Mao. Before Zhuge Liang could react and take measures, Zhang Wu had already supported Liu Qi as Jingzhou Shepherd, eradicated the Cai family, and took control of Jingzhou.

Liu Qi's incompetence is well known, and it is impossible to regain power from Zhang Wu, so the first step in Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui" plan encountered a big problem, that is how to take Jingzhou from Zhang Wu. Take it.This doesn't seem to be easy. Zhuge Liang didn't expect Zhang Wu, who cried like a fool on Lumen Mountain, to develop so fast in the past two years. A general who was born as a thief first took advantage of Huang Zu's death to seize Jiang Xia took advantage of Liu Biao's death to occupy Jingzhou, which shocked everyone in Jingzhou.

If anyone dares to say that Zhang Wu is a fool, then he is the biggest fool. Zhuge Liang remembered that Zhang Wu snatched away his feather fan with snot and tears, and he couldn't help but sigh that this person really can pretend to be good at acting!
Seeing Zhuge Liang meditating and not speaking, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sneered: "Military Master Zhuge, why don't you speak? Don't you think Cai Mao deserves to die? Oh! I almost forgot that Cai Mao is your wife's uncle." , can be regarded as your uncle, no wonder you are also a little sad!"

Since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to visit the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang to Xinye, they have always looked at Zhuge Liang as a bit disliked.First of all, you, a nameless and hopeless mountain villager, made our three brothers run three times before you were willing to come. Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's sworn brother, and the two brothers are somewhat jealous; in the end, this Zhuge Liang just waved his small fan all day doing nothing, and didn't see any abilities, but he looked down upon the heroes of the world as nothing. Let Guan Erye and Zhang Sanye not be convinced.

After Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei, for a period of time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were indeed unconvinced. Until Cao Jun came to attack, Zhuge Liang set a fire, and Xiahou Dun was burned to death and left in a big defeat. This proved his ability. From then on, Guan and Zhang admired Zhuge Liang.

But now Zhuge Liang has not had the opportunity to show his talents, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, they look down on him, Zhuge Liang actually has nothing to do.

After hearing this, Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, don't talk nonsense, don't be rude to the military advisor!"

Zhuge Liang said: "It's okay, although Cai Hao is my wife's uncle, he deserved to be executed for poisoning his lord. But why did Zhang Wu know that Liu Jingsheng died of poisoning? After taking over the Cai family and quickly taking control of the power in Jingzhou, could it be that he was also involved in Liu Jingsheng's death?"

Liu Bei couldn't tell for a while, but he still had a good impression of Zhang Wu, not only because Zhang Wu had saved him, but also Zhang Wu's ambition expressed in that song and in his usual conversation, which made Liu Bei feel that Zhang Wu was such a person. Although he was born as a thief, he still has a heart for the Han Dynasty and resists Cao Cao.

"No way? I think that Zhang Wu is also quite loyal. Besides, the Cai family admitted that he poisoned brother Jing Sheng. Cai Mao also ambushed soldiers to murder Zhang Wu. Zilong and I were both present at the time. I saw it with my own eyes. See."

Zhao Yun also said: "Yes, at that time Cai Hao set up an ambush in advance, not only to get rid of Zhang Wu, but also to murder the eldest son Liu Qi!"

Zhuge Liang thought to himself, you are all deceived by Zhang Wu's acting skills. Although Zhang Wu did not participate in the murder of Liu Biao, it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and he has no loyalty to Liu Biao, otherwise he would never have killed Liu Biao in such a short time. Nei wiped out the Cai family in one fell swoop and took control of the power in Jingzhou. He must have planned it in advance!
But these words are hard to say, and now for Zhuge Liang, the most important thing is whether there is still a chance to capture Jingzhou under the current situation, so Zhuge Liang said: "Liang didn't mean that, but Brother Zhang Wu shared the military power in Jingzhou." If things go on like this, I am afraid that Jingzhou will eventually fall into Zhang Wu's hands, and Liu Jingsheng's son Liu Qi will also be killed by Zhang Wu!"

All of you present are not fools. Since the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, Liu Guanzhang and others have seen too many struggles for power, from Dong Zhuo's monopoly to Cao Cao's monopoly, from Yuan Shao of the Yuan family fighting against Yuan Shu's brothers, to Yuan Tan's fighting against Yuan Shang's brothers. It can be said that power can indeed fascinate and obsess people.

But Liu Bei still doesn't believe that Zhang Wu will kill Liu Qi, because he and Liu Qi have been dating for a long time, and the relationship is relatively close. He and Liu Qi are both called "uncle and nephew".

"It's unlikely, right? I've never heard Liu Qi say anything about Zhang Wu being domineering and authoritarian. On the contrary, I've heard Liu Qi say a lot of good things about Zhang Wu." Liu Bei said.

That's because Liu Qi has no ambitions, no talent, and is addicted to drinking and sex all day long!Zhuge Liang couldn't say anything for a while, he was afraid that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others would misunderstand something if he said too much, so he said: "My lord, no matter whether that Zhang Wu has such intentions or not, there is a good opportunity right now. The eldest son Liu Qi will succeed to the throne." Jingzhou shepherd, Liu Jingsheng once ordered his lord to assist him, so the lord can take this opportunity to go to Xiangyang to intervene in Jingzhou's political affairs, and at the same time, he can observe what Zhang Wu is planning. If Zhang Wu is dedicated to assisting Liu Qi, he will abide by his duty as a subordinate and obey Liu Qi's order, that's all. But if Zhang Wuguo has the heart of disobedience, then the lord can take advantage of his unstable foothold and unite with other major families to persuade Liu Qi to get rid of him. At that time, with the prestige of the lord, Yun Chang, The bravery of Yide and Zilong should be able to pacify Jingzhou quickly, and if the Lord waits for an opportunity to seize Jingzhou as the foundation of his life, then the great cause will be accomplished!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei said angrily: "Speaking of which, you still want to take other people's foundation by force, which is really dishonest!!"

Although Guan Yu and Zhao Yun didn't speak, they thought the same thing in their hearts. They took us in when we were in the most difficult time, but we still planned to seize their foundation, isn't that bad?If Liu Biao personally said that he would give up Jingzhou to Liu Bei, or if Liu Biao had no heir after his death, Jingzhou would become a land without owner, then that would be fine, but now Liu Biao's son is still alive!They still prefer to seize territory from Cao Cao, rather than doing this kind of thing of revenge.
