Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 139
Zhuge Liang's words made Liu Bei puzzled, "What does the military division mean?"

"I heard that Sun Zhongmou has a younger sister, who is very young and beautiful. The elder brother and Sun Youtai must not have come to Xinye, but to observe the lord." Zhuge Liang laughed heartily.

"Bei is nearly half a century old, and Sun Zhongmou's sister is young, and An would do such a ridiculous thing? Why do the military divisions have to play with each other?" Liu Bei looked surprised.

Zhuge Liang: "A sword is given to a hero, and a beautiful woman is a hero. How can a hero like the lord be ridiculous?"

"Is there any basis for the military division's statement?" Liu Bei asked.

"Sun Youtai has a high status in Jiangdong but he has no intention of being an official. My lord thinks why this outlaw suddenly appeared?" Zhuge Liang asked back.

"This may"

"Jiangdong is coming to deliver Xinye. My elder brother can come here alone. Sun Youtai must be testing the lord for the clan."

Liu Bei is not a stupid person. After Zhuge Liang said this, he also felt that it was very possible, but he didn't like it and became worried instead.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang was puzzled: "Young beauty, yearning for heroes, this is a blessing, why is my lord unhappy?"

"As the military adviser said, given the status of the Sun family in Jiangdong, Miss Sun must be the main wife when she gets married. This marriage may not be a good thing." Liu Bei expressed his worry.

How smart Zhuge Liang was, he immediately understood the key points. Liu Bei originally loved the Gan family, but because of his humble background, he did not marry as his wife.

Now that Gan Qian has given birth to her sons and daughters, and continues Liu Bei's bloodline, the most important thing is that Lan Ziyu.

The importance of Lantian to Liu Bei seems to be far more important than Sun Liulian at present.

"Ziyu is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth. Liangqin can go to Quanling to persuade the lord. I believe that with his strategic vision, it must be understandable." Zhuge Liang suggested.

Liu Bei shook his head: "Wait a minute, this is all guessed by the military adviser, what if Sun Zhongmou has no such intention?"

"Okay, my lord, please send a letter to Yun Chang, asking him to hand over Xinye to Zhou Yu, and then withdraw to Jiangxia to rest." Zhuge Liang continued.

"The original plan was for Zhou Yu to take down Xiangfan and Yunchang to take down Wancheng in Nanyang. This complements each other to achieve the original plan in Beitu. I didn't expect Xiangyang to be so difficult to attack, and Wancheng to be so difficult to take down," Liu Bei lamented.

"It's not easy to attack a fortified city. Xiangyang's geographical location is more steep than Jiangling. Zhou Gongjin's navy is indeed powerful, but it's not as good in terms of siege warfare. Before Yun Chang left, I told him that Wancheng can be captured." If you can’t seize it, don’t attack it by force. We must preserve our strength and use it to seize Yizhou in the future.” Zhuge Liang explained.

Liu Bei was taken aback, "Are we cheating Zhou Yu by doing this?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "My lord, don't blame yourself. We are only doing what we can. Yun Chang only has ten thousand old and weak sailors. Even if Yuan Zhi joined forces with him later, the strength is no more than ten thousand. He can help Zhou Yu In Juebei Road, it is not easy to stop Xu Du's reinforcements, Li Tong and Wen Pin are both famous generals in the world."

Liu Bei nodded in affirmation: "During Liu Jingsheng's time, Wen Zhongye managed Nanyang and was very familiar with it. I didn't expect Cao Cao to appoint him to guard Wancheng, but now the supplies are sufficient. If the second brother goes all out, he will be able to conquer Nanjun."

"The so-called one thing does not bother the two masters. Cao Mengde is still extremely employing. Even if General Guan captures Nanjun, he still has to give it to Jiangdong. According to Ziyu: Let's not do business that loses money. We really want to fight bloody like Liu Pan and Cheng Pu. Yes. My lord's future affairs are not worth it." Zhuge Liang said.

"I just think that if we take Jiangling, Zhou Yu can exchange Nanyang for him if he can't take Xiangyang. With Jiangdong guarding the north to defend against Cao Cao, we can also develop in Jingzhou with peace of mind." Liu Bei also has his own ideas.

"Jiangling was brought down by the eldest son, and has nothing to do with us. You must remember this. My lord knows the location of Nanyang very well. Even if Yunchang takes Wancheng, Zhou Yu will not be able to hold it. On the contrary, Xinye is connected to Jianghan waterway. , so that it can slowly erode Xiangfan." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"Then I'll revise the book immediately, let the second brother and Zhou Yu deliver Xinye, and call the third brother back by the way. We haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, and I miss you very much." Liu Bei sighed.

Zhuge Liang smiled leisurely: "Come back just in time for the lord's happy event."

Liu Bei:
When Zhugejin and Sun Jing returned to Wu County, they both praised Liu Bei a lot. Sun Shangxiang chose a satisfactory husband and son-in-law, and after returning, he did not go out and hid in his boudoir to be married.

Sun Quan sent Lu Fan to Jiangxia to be a matchmaker. Zhou Yu's siege of Xiangyang failed for half a year.

Although Zhou Yu withdrew to Xinye to the north, Jiangdong's warships still cruised back and forth between Hanshui and Danshui every day, cutting off the connection between Xiangfan and the Central Plains.

The Jiangdong water army played a prestige in Chibi. Cao Jun still had enough power to fight on land outside Xiangyang City, but in the river it was really just a fish and turtle. Cut off Cao Ren's way.

After Zhou Yu withdrew his troops, the pressure on Xiangyang was slightly reduced.

Cao Ren worried that Zhou Yu would first pull out Fancheng north of the Han River, and when the warships crossed the river and looked across the river, Xiangyang City would really become a place of death.

Cao Ren left Le Jin Manchong to guard Xiangyang, while he and Xu Huang were at the northern foot of Jingshan Mountain. When the patrol boat was away at night, they sneaked across the river and entered Fancheng.

Lu Fan came to Jiangxia to be a matchmaker. Although Liu Bei was surprised by Zhuge Liang's ability, he seemed more calm. He asked Sun Qian and Jian Yong to accompany him, and secretly sent Zhuge Liang to Quanling to ask about Lantian's intentions.

Lan Tian is now supervising the four counties in Jingnan for Liu Qi. Jiangxia and Xinye have more money and food from him. He is already a minister under Liu Bei's account. former.

In May, the sun was warm, and Zhuge Liang came in a light boat.

When we arrived at the Quanling Prefect's Mansion, Lan Tian was nowhere to be seen. The gatekeeper pointed to an inconspicuous mansion gate on the opposite side and said, "The prefect has been here recently."

Zhuge Liang walked across the street curiously, and found a wooden plaque hanging on the door, engraved with the four official characters of Quanling Academy.

Zhuge Liang was about to enter, but was blocked by a soldier: "This is an important place for the school, please do not enter unless you have one, I think you two look good, are you here to find someone or on business?"

Zhao Yun was not in Jiangxia at this time, Liu Bei asked Chen Dao to accompany Zhuge Liang to Quanling.

"May I ask if Lan Taishou is here?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Who are you?" The gate guard came from the camp, he didn't know Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to see the top leader of Quanling, so he had to feel vigilant.

"Don't ask too many questions." Chen Dao put his sword on his hand and glared, saying to himself, you little guard, who gave you the arrogance?

A soldier is neither humble nor overbearing. Although Chen Dao is aggressive, he is not afraid at all. At this time, the courtyard shouted: "The school is an important place, who is making noise outside?"

The young general Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao didn't know each other. He was Hu Ke, the leader of the undercover Jiangling camp. Because of his quick mind, he was assigned to Quanling College and was responsible for the discipline and safety here.
