In Zhang Fei's eyes, Bai Chuan is just an opportunistic villain.

It's just a coincidence that the plan was broken, so it's nothing to worry about.

As for defeating Guan Yu, it has to be said that Bai Chuan does have some strength.

But it doesn't stop there.

If the strange weapon in his hand hadn't interrupted the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, Bai Chuan might have become Guan Yu's dead soul long ago.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said:

"My lord, Bai Chuan is destined to become a confidant of our army in the future."

"Now he has defeated Xiliang, and it doesn't cost a single soldier."

"After returning to Xudu, Cao Cao will definitely entrust him with important tasks."

"He is now a sergeant offering wine in Cao's camp. If he gains power again, he will definitely be able to influence the actions of Cao's army."

Liu Bei was puzzled and said:

"This is already a foregone conclusion, but it shouldn't have much to do with our army."

"Don't worry, military adviser. Although this person is quite scheming, in my opinion, the military adviser is several times better than him!"

Zhuge Liang gave a wry smile and said:

"I'm not worried about fighting against it."

"On the contrary, after being seen through by him several times before, I want to fight against him again."

"It's just that whether this person's ideas or methods are beyond my scope of thinking, it is difficult to target."

"Once he gains power, I'm afraid that Cao Jun's behavior will be completely different from before."

"It needs more precautions."

Liu Bei nodded immediately when he heard the words:

"The military division's words are true, this person must be careful."

"After a while, I will strengthen the defense and strictly prevent the defense."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said:

"My lord, I'm afraid that Bai Chuan's thoughts are not above Jingzhou."

"Oh? What does the military commander mean?"

Liu Bei couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Bai Chuan's mind is not above Jingzhou, so where is it?

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Judging from the few times I have fought against Bai Chuan, I don't know him very well, but I also understand it in general."

"After this person returns to Xudu, he will definitely offer advice to Cao Cao."

"If I were him, I'm afraid I wouldn't choose to attack Jingzhou."

"Although Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Now three of the four sides will not be enemies for the time being. If they want to capture Jingzhou, it will be quite difficult for Cao Cao."

"Therefore, Bai Chuan should not do this."

Zhang Fei immediately said anxiously:

"Military division, what are you worried about?"

"Don't go around the bush, if you have something to say, I'm going to be scared to death!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said in a deep voice:

"If Bai Chuan finds another way, he will ignore Jingzhou."

"What will happen if you turn the spearhead to Hanzhong?"

Hanzhong?

Hearing these two words, Liu Bei couldn't help being a little dazed.

Zhuge Liang continued to explain:

"With the current strength of Cao Jun, it shouldn't be difficult to win Hanzhong."

"I am worried that if Cao Jun takes Hanzhong as his base and enters Bashu first, it will be a fatal blow to our army."

Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly widened his eyes.

He understood what Zhuge Liang meant!

According to Zhuge Liang's plan to divide the world into three parts, after taking Jingzhou, the next step is to take control of Bashu.

Bashu is a rich and prosperous land, and it is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once it enters Shu, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to break through.

Moreover, Liu Zhang, who is in charge of Bashu now, is still a useless person, with no ambitions and no strategies.

Even though there are many talents in Bashu, they still cannot support him.

This is the best choice.

However, Bai Chuan might also be able to think of this point.

If you want to take Bashu, it is impossible with Liu Bei's current strength.

But for Cao Cao, it is possible.

If Cao Cao is allowed to take the lead, then Jingzhou will not appear to have such an advantage!

Once it is attacked from Bashu and the north, Jingzhou is very likely to be breached!

At that time, the situation will only be unfavorable to you!

Liu Zhang is no different from Liu Cong.

If Cao Jun's army came under pressure, he might really open the city gates and surrender without any backbone.

Not good, very bad!

If Cao Cao really did this, things will be troublesome!

"so."

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and said:

"My lord, Jingzhou is only a temporary residence, so you shouldn't waste your energy here."

"The only thing I'm waiting for is Bashu."

"The matter of entering Shu needs to be done quickly!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but tighten!

Chapter 194 Zhuge Liang persuades Bashu to attack

In fact, at the beginning, when I was facing Liu Beilong.

Zhuge Liang didn't think that entering Shu needed to be done as soon as possible.

After all, Liu Bei didn't have many soldiers and horses. If he wanted to achieve the situation where he could enter Shu, at least he had to recruit troops and buy horses after taking Jingzhou, and then he could enter Shu after recuperating.

Calculated in this way, if we say less than two or three years, it will take five or six years, or even longer.

However, the appearance of Bai Chuan completely overturned Zhuge Liang's original ideas.

Bai Chuan's behavior style was completely different from all the generals and counselors of Cao Jun that Zhuge Liang had seen before.

Not only did he not take the usual path, he did the opposite, and he repeatedly used tricks, which was very elusive.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that since Bai Chuan had escaped from the Xiliang battle, he would definitely intervene in the Jingzhou matter.

He was determined not to give Liu Beijun a chance to fight steadily in Jingzhou.

After learning the news that Bai Chuan had returned from Xiliang, Zhuge Liang had been thinking about it.

Zhuge Liang had thought about Bai Chuan's countless routes.

Now after all the calculations, there is only the most dangerous path of attacking Hanzhong and switching to Bashu, and it is also the path that Bai Chuan is most likely to choose.

However, after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei showed hesitation.

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang bowed immediately and said:

"My lord may still be thinking that attacking Bashu is not a benevolent act."

"But if we don't attack Bashu, once Cao Jun goes first, it will definitely become a serious problem for our army!"

"Jingzhou is just a place of temporary stability. Our army will eventually belong to Bashu, which needs to be pushed into Bashu!"

"I hope the lord will think twice!"

With Liu Bei for so long, Zhuge Liang has basically figured out Liu Bei's character and thoughts.

Benevolence and righteousness are what Liu Bei has been following.

However, it is no longer possible to put benevolence and justice on the lips.

In fact, is it benevolent and righteous to cheat Zhou Yu and take Jingzhou?

This kind of illusory thing is harmless at all!

Liu Bei frowned slightly, hesitantly said:

"Of course I know the words of the military division."

"only……"

Doesn't Liu Bei want Bashu?

No, he thinks more than anyone else.

Even if Jingzhou is won now, how could Liu Bei not know that he has no ability to hold Jingzhou at all.

After all, Liu Bei is not Liu Biao, without the support of everyone in Jingzhou.

The Jingzhou general surrendered to him only because of Liu Qi.

In the future, maybe the position of Lord of Jingzhou will be given to Liu Qi.

I am still under the roof of others.

Therefore, Bashu must be obtained.

But as Zhuge Liang said, if Liu Bei directly attacked Bashu now, it would definitely not conform to the benevolence and morality he pursued.

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang said anxiously.

He knew exactly what Liu Bei was thinking.

It was because of this that Zhuge Liang urged Liu Bei so eagerly for the first time.

However, Liu Bei still rubbed his forehead and said slowly:

"This matter is a bit sudden, let me think about it."

"I will definitely think more about the words of the military adviser."

"Maybe during this time, our army should recharge its batteries, recruit soldiers, and train soldiers."

"Wait for Sun Quan's news from Jiangdong, then make a decision."

Zhuge Liang's face froze when he heard the words.

Waiting for news from Sun Quan?

This was obviously an excuse, but Liu Bei still didn't understand it.

If you intend to go to Bashu, where do you need any news about Sun Quan?

If you don't take the first step to take down Bashu now, once Bai Chuan's army takes the first step to conquer Bashu, then Liu Zhang will definitely not be an opponent.
