Chapter 461 Misunderstanding of Thinking

"Military division, why do my assassinations always fail?"

"Such a simple truth, don't you understand?"

"What's the point?"

"According to the general system settings, I can't tell you, I can only say that it is a very simple thing, and I want to remind you that I will retire in half a month, you can think about how to keep me."

Shao Zhen thought and thought, but couldn't figure out why the success rate of his assassination was so low. He probably fell into a misunderstanding of his thinking, so he didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, he knew the general trend of the Three Kingdoms, so he just waited for the plot to develop.

Xu Shu was extremely filial, and after receiving the letter, he didn't know the deceit, so he was forced to say goodbye to Liu Bei.Liu Bei was reluctant to give up, and Yiyi saw him off. Shu went away, but Liu Bei still watched him immediately. Feeling his sincerity, Xu Shu pulled his horse back and recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, saying that Liang had "the talent of the world", and he had to "seek it in person"; and told Feng The chick is Pang Tong of Xiangyang, and the Wolong is Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei remembered what Sima Hui said: "Wolong and Fengchu are one, and the world can be safe." So he decided to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to help.

Sima Hui recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei again, saying that his talent could be compared with Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang.Liu Bei then took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Wollongong to pay respects to Zhuge Liang.

When I first visited the thatched cottage, unfortunately, Zhuge Liang went out and did not return.On the way home, Liu Bei met Liang's good friend Cui Zhouping, mistook him for Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly paid homage to him.Cui Zhouping told Liu Bei that it would be a waste of effort to ask Kong Ming to come out to assist him.

A few days later, Liu Bei found out that Zhuge Liang had returned to Longzhong, so he and Guan and Zhang planned to visit the thatched cottage again.Guan and Zhang dissuaded Liu Bei from going there in person, but seeing Liu Bei's respectful invitation to Zhuge was difficult to move, so they had to follow him.

It was the middle of winter, and it was snowing heavily. Liu, Guan, and Zhang came here in the snow. When they were approaching the thatched cottage, they suddenly heard that someone was singing in a roadside hotel. Liu Bei mistakenly thought that Kong Ming was here, and only when he entered the hotel did he find out that it was Kong Ming’s good friend Shi Guangyuan. and Meng Gongwei.After arriving in the thatched cottage, he misidentified Zhuge Jun, Zhuge Liang's younger brother.They all told Liu Bei that his brother traveled the day before yesterday, so Liu Bei had no choice but to leave a letter to express his admiration.Just as he was about to leave, he met Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang's father-in-law. Liu Bei expressed his intention to him again and said goodbye and returned.

In the early spring, Liu Bei chose an auspicious day to go to Longzhong to seek talents. Guan and Zhang were not happy, but it was ineffective to stop him, so they reluctantly followed him.When Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, it happened that Zhuge Liang was taking a nap in the thatched cottage. Bei ordered Guan and Zhang to wait outside the door.Prepare to meet Kong Ming with humility and respect, and ask for advice on major events in the world.Seeing Liu Bei's sincerity, Kongming proposed his grand plan for starting a business: "Cao already has millions of people, and it is difficult to compete for the front; Sun Quan occupies Jiangdong, so don't rush. You should first take Jing and Yizhou, west and Zhu Rong, south Fu Yi, Yue , unite Sun Quan externally, and cultivate political principles internally." Zhuge Liang took out a map of Xichuan and told Liu Bei: "If you want to become a hegemony, let Cao Cao occupy the sky in the north, and let Sun Quan occupy the land in the south, so that the general can occupy the harmony of people"; "First take Jingzhou as your home, Later, take Xichuan to build the foundation, so as to become a tripartite force. Then you can map the original."

Liu Bei was deeply enlightened, and he suddenly realized that he asked Kong Ming to come out to help him.Feeling his sincerity, Kongming agreed to go out of the mountain and go to Xinye with Liu Bei.

Cao Cao wholeheartedly wanted to pacify the south of the Yangtze River. On this day, he gathered civil and military forces to discuss the southern expedition.Xu Shu said that Zhuge Liang had the talent to know the world, and Liu Bei was like a tiger with wings; Xiahou Dun disagreed, and asked Cao Cao for his life to capture Liu Bei and Kong Ming alive.Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Xia Houdun to be the governor, and Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Han Hao to be the deputy generals. He commanded [-] troops and marched into Xinye.

Cao Cao mobilized a large army to invade the south, and sent General Xiahou Dun to lead an army of [-] to Xinye.Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to defeat the enemy and worship him as a military adviser.Zhuge Liang dispatched troops and ordered Zhao Yun to lead the enemy into Bowangpo; he sent Guan Ping and Liu Feng to prepare enough fire starters to wait at Bowangpo. As backup, the enemy army abandoned the camp as soon as they arrived, but returned to the army to cover up the fire when they saw the fire; Liang himself, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang led the army to guard Xinye County.When Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the generals saw Kong Ming's strategy for the first time, they were all puzzled.

Xiahou Dun and his lieutenants Jin and Li Dian led their troops to Bowang.Zhao Yun went out to fight, feigned defeat and left.Liu Bei led his troops to meet him, but also abandoned his camp and fled.Xiahou Dun deceived Liu Bei's soldiers to be weak and weak, so he chased them with confidence. It was late and the road was narrow. Li Dian and Yu Jin were afraid of being attacked by fire. He reminded Xiahou Dun urgently. Dun Meng woke up, but it was too late. When the Hui army chased and killed, Liu, Guan, and Zhang also fought out separately. Cao's army was defeated, and Xiahou Dun fled in embarrassment.So far, Guan, Zhang and others have convinced Kong Ming.

In order to avenge his father, Sun Quan killed Huang Zu and sent troops to Chaisang.Liu Biao heard the news that his illness had worsened, and he wanted to entrust Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei quickly declined.Liu Biao's wife, Cai, tried to harm Liu Qi from time to time in order to let Liu Cong succeed him, so Qi asked Liu Bei for help.Liu Bei signaled that he would ask Zhuge Liang for advice, but Liang avoided answering on the grounds that it was inconvenient to intervene in family affairs.The next day, Liu Qi invited Zhuge Liang to a banquet, and asked Zhuge Liang again, but Liang still did not answer.Liu Qi asked Zhuge Liang to go up to the first floor and remove the stairs. He asked Zhuge Liang for the third time, and if he didn't save him, he would draw his sword and kill himself.Liang had no choice but to tell the story of Shen Sheng's death inside and Chong Er's safety outside during the Spring and Autumn Period. Liu Qi then led three thousand troops to Jiangxia to avoid disaster.Liu Biao was critically ill, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei take the opportunity to take Jingzhou to reject Cao Cao.Liu Bei thought of Liu Biao's kindness and couldn't bear to take it.

Not long after, Liu Biao died of illness, and the Cai family kept the funeral secret, wrote a false will, and made the second son Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou, and Cai Mao was in charge of the power of Jingzhou alone.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 500,000, and invaded southward in five ways. He wanted to seize Jingzhou, but Liu Cong surrendered without a fight, and dedicated the nine counties of Jingzhou to Cao Cao.When Liu Bei learned about it, he quickly negotiated with Liang. Liang ordered the residents of Xinye to move to Fancheng, lured Cao Ren and others into Xinye, and set fire to it at night.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led their generals to take advantage of the victory to Fancheng. Liang advised Bei to abandon Fancheng quickly and take Xiangyang for a rest.Bei didn't want to abandon the people, took them across the river, and came to Xiangyang.Liu Cong was afraid and refused to go out. Wei Yan went out to help Liu Bei. Bei was unwilling to attack the city, so he had to lead more than [-] soldiers and civilians to Jiangling.

When Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was going to retreat to Jiangling, he pursued him day and night.Left and right persuaded Liu Bei to abandon the people temporarily, and went to Jiangling first, but Bei refused to listen, and still led the people slowly. When he arrived in Dangyang, he was overtaken by Cao Jun, the army and the people were in chaos, and Bei's family members were separated. Get Zhang Fei's protection, and fight and retreat.

Zhang Fei heard rumors that Zhao Yun surrendered to Cao Cao, and despite Liu Bei's dissuasion, he led his troops to Changban Bridge to find Zhao Yun for questioning.

Zhao Yun was separated from Liu Bei's family in the chaotic battle. He single-handedly, desperately, found Jian Yong and Mrs. Gan among the rebellious army, rescued Mi Zhu, and sent them to Changban Bridge; Continue to look for Mrs. Mi and A Dou.Finally, Mrs. Mi was found next to a dry well under an earthen wall.Madam Mi was seriously injured.Yun wanted to keep him back to the camp, but Mrs. Mi feared that Zhao Yun would be dragged down, so she threw Adou and Zhao Yun into the well to die.Yun pushed down the earthen wall to cover the dry well, embraced Adou, and charged bravely in Cao's army, penetrating through the siege.

Cao Cao was watching the battle on the mountain. Seeing that Zhao Yunyong was unstoppable, he ordered: "To capture Zhao Zilong, you are not allowed to shoot cold arrows, but you are only allowed to capture him alive."

On the bridge, Zhang Fei ordered more than [-] soldiers to cut off branches, tie them to horsetails, and gallop back and forth in the woods, stirring up dust and bluffing.He glared at the spear and immediately stepped onto the bridge.Seeing the dust flying, Cao Jun suspected that there was an ambush, so he dared not go forward.Zhang Fei yelled angrily, and Cao General Xia Houjie was so startled that his liver and gallbladder shattered, and he fell under his horse. Cao Cao was shocked and ran away in panic.

Under the intimidation of Cao Cao's army, Liu Cong, the son of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, offered his city to surrender to Cao Cao.Liu Bei abandoned Fancheng and crossed the river with his people, lost to Hanjin, and took refuge with Liu Qi in Jiangxia.Cao Cao took advantage of the victory rate of 83 troops to intimidate Jiangdong, Chen Bing on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and watched the six counties of Jiangdong.When the news came, the ruling and opposition parties in Soochow were shocked. The military generals were about to fight, and the civilian officials surrendered. There was endless debate.Unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao, Sun Quan was hesitant because he was afraid of losing power.

Lu Zijing tried his best to reject all opinions, and was willing to go to Jiangxia in person to invite Zhuge Liang to discuss the plan to defeat Cao.Because Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao twice, Sun Quan was eager to find out the strength of Cao's army, and agreed with Lu Su to go to Jiangxia to find out the truth.So Zhuge Liang decided to enter Wu alone, and he had to use his three-inch tongue to say that the Sun and Cao families annexed each other.

At the invitation of Lu Su, Zhuge Liang went to Soochow as an envoy. All the ministers of Soochow despised Kong Ming. Before meeting Sun Quan, they arranged for him to meet with all the officials in Jixian Hall, hoping to kill him for his prestige.Knowing Zhuge Liang's intention, the important ministers Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong of Eastern Wu attacked Zhuge Liang one after another.Facing the group of Confucians, Zhuge Liang was calm and unhurried, and answered the questions fluently. In the future, Cao will die, and Cao Jun can be defeated. Xue Cong was "stunned"...
