Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 651 The situation in Jingzhou

Newfield.

"What did Kong Ming say?" Meng Jian looked at Shi Tao who had returned and asked.

"I haven't seen it before. Longzhong's formation has been changed. It seems that Kong Ming is determined not to go out." Shi Tao sighed: "Should I have a chance and let him make a move?"

Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei two special feathers, which were folded from his feather fan and sealed some power with a strange technique, which is not very powerful. A chance to ask him to do it, whether they asked or not.

Meng Jian originally wanted to trick Zhuge Liang out of the mountain first, and set up a trick to trap him, so he had to be used by Liu Bei, but Zhuge Liang was obviously prepared!
Meng Jian shook his head and said: "If he insists on not going out of the mountain, the timing of these two attacks is quite critical. My lord is now alone and weak. Chu Nan's troops are coming to Xiangyang, and Xinye is the gateway of Xiangfan. You must guard, otherwise it will be bad , is the end of all losses."

The current situation in Jingxiang is that the gentry do not want to serve Chu Nan, and Liu Biao does not want to follow the gentry, and wants to take his wife and children to the court to be his grand tutor. Even in name only, Liu Biao also wants to spend his old age in peace.

But where are the Jingzhou gentry willing to give in?
Firstly, Liu Biao is here. As a clan member of the Han family, according to Chu Nan’s behavior style, as long as Liu Biao does not openly become an enemy of the imperial court, Chu Nan will not make a move easily. Second, once Liu Biao leaves, he will take the whole family with him. There is no outstanding figure who can preside over the overall situation, and various power vacuums appear. If it is okay on weekdays, the gentry negotiate and compromise with each other, and this power vacuum will definitely be filled.

However, in the current situation, as soon as Liu Biao left, he would be faced with the situation where Chu Nan's army was approaching the city, and there was not enough time to integrate.

No one is strong at all, and the internal chaos has almost no chance of winning.

The sad thing is that even Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai, is not on Liu Biao's side. Although this is a political marriage, at this time, Mrs. Cai is resolutely standing on the opposite side of Liu Biao. No one knows what Liu Biao is thinking. In fact, by this time, no one cared about his thoughts.

Shi Tao thought about it and said: "The three-point strategy that Kong Ming said is quite reasonable to me. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to help the lord get the land of Jingxiang, unite with Sun Quan in the east, and take Bashu in the west, our army may not be able to fight with Chu Nan." A battle."

"Even he himself said that this plan is impossible now, not to mention that Chu Nan will not sit idly by, it is the land of Jingxiang, each family is intertwined, once Jing Shenggong leaves, even if there is a will, it will be difficult to convince each family Support the lord." Meng Jian sighed, seeing Zhuge Liang's three-point strategy for the first time, he was also shocked.

But thinking about the current situation carefully now, it is very difficult to take Jingzhou just by taking the first step.

Zhuge Liang bluntly said that this strategy is difficult to implement now, and some changes have been made. Jingzhou has become the top priority here. It is necessary to win Jingzhou before it can gain a foothold. If it cannot be won, everything is empty talk!
"Duke Jing Sheng invited the lord to go to Xiangyang tomorrow for a talk, I think it will be discussed." Shi Tao looked at Meng Jiandao.

Hearing this, Meng Jian looked up at him and frowned and said, "At this time, if you invite my lord to go, don't you just put my lord on the fire?"

Right now Jingzhou is forming a delicate balance, and the conflicts between Liu Biao and the various factions have surfaced. At this time, calling Liu Bei to Xiangyang may immediately stir up the sensitive nerves of the various factions.

Everyone didn't want Liu Biao to leave, because after he left, the imperial court would definitely not appoint Jingzhou Shepherd again, and even the governor could not be selected among them, but what they hoped was to continue to maintain this situation, not to come out with Liu Bei to take the opportunity Remove the power of Jingzhou.

Don't look at Liu Bei's only small county in Xinye now, but the positions of Uncle Dahan Emperor, General Zuo, and Yuzhou Mu were all conferred by the emperor, and Chu Nan will not blatantly withdraw these official positions without reason.

In terms of official position alone, Liu Bei is qualified to take over Jingzhou regardless of his background, official position and reputation, which is obviously not the wish of the Jingxiang gentry.

Among the gentry in Jingzhou, Liu Bei also has some supporters, such as Liu Biao's old Shanyang tribe, as well as families such as the Ma family and the Kou family. It's just that the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Huang family are the big families that really rule Jingzhou. Supporters have yet to play a leading role.

"Don't Gongwei think this is also the master's chance?" Shi Tao looked at Meng Jian and said.

"It's too dangerous." Meng Jian sighed. Liu Biao looked for Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei went, he might take over Jingzhou, but...

He raised his head and looked at Shi Tao: "If Cai Mao and the others find out, they will definitely harm the lord."

"Let General Guan accompany you as an escort, even if you have thousands of troops, you can still protect your lord!" Shi Tao looked at Meng Jian and said, "Gongwei, whether you want to recruit for this matter or not, as long as the lord meets Jing Sheng, then you can Yes."

Meng Jian looked at Shi Tao, he understood Shi Tao's meaning, as long as Liu Bei went to Liu Biao's place, even if the two of them didn't say a word, after they came out, in the eyes of others, it was Liu Biao who asked for future affairs, and then mobilized them to go to Liu Biao's place. The contacts in Jingzhou create some public opinion, and when Xiangyang changes, they can immediately occupy Xiangyang in the name of Liu Biao.

Liu Bei's biggest advantage is Guan Yu. In this age of revival of the power of heaven and earth, the gap between people will become wider and wider, and Guan Yu is undoubtedly the one who stands at the top. He can defeat ten thousand troops with one man Strong general, as long as Liu Bei has righteousness, and Guan Yu's power and the two of them assist, why not win the land of Jingzhou?

"If I remember correctly, Lord Jing Sheng also has the technique of visualization, but now he is suddenly seriously ill and bedridden. Among them..." Meng Jian looked at Shi Tao and said, "It can also be used."

In this era, the techniques of visualization are already rampant. Not to mention Guan Yu, who is already extraordinary, even ordinary people can be strong and healthy by practicing the technique of visualization, not to mention Liu Biao, who is from the same state. The existence of luck.

Moreover, Liu Biao's illness was very sudden this time. Just when he decided to accept the canonization of the court and was about to take his wife and children to Xuchang.

And there are not many people who can do this kind of thing in Jingzhou.

"You mean to use this to suppress the Cai family?" Shi Tao looked at Meng Jian and said.

"Cai Kuai's two families must fall one." Meng Jian nodded.

The truth is actually the same as that of the butchers in South Chu. If the gentry were not wiped out in large numbers, where would the money, food and cultivated land in South Chu come to benefit the people?
It's the same here, but Meng Jian's plan is to overthrow one of the Cai and Kuai families, and then distribute the vacated rights to the noble families who support them, such as the Ma family and the Kou family.

"Since that's the case, General Guan and I will accompany my lord to Xiangyang tomorrow." Shi Tao said in a deep voice.

For this kind of thing, it is best to learn from famous teachers, and it is also necessary to grasp the timing, not too early or too late.

"good!"

The two discussed for a while, but they saw Liu Bei bringing Guan Yu and Jian Yong in. Seeing the two of them here, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Gongwei and Guangyuan, I happen to have something to discuss with the two gentlemen."

"Please tell me, Lord." Shi Tao and Meng Jian clasped their fists together.

"Zi Zhong recently found some news from the Central Plains, which seems to be strange." Liu Bei sat down and said.

Liu Bei is single and lonely, and his grasp of the news of the Central Plains is far less well-informed than Jiang Dong and Zhuge Liang, who is backed by the royal family. About the dispute between heaven and man, he knew about it later than the two.

"Oh?" Meng Jian and Shi Tao looked at Mi Zhu.

"Recently, the Ministry of Industry suddenly launched paper books, with clear handwriting, a large number, and the most important thing is that the price is low, and everyone can buy it if they want to read it." Mi Zhu handed a picture book and a book to the two and said: "But The first batch of books are almost all the book The Struggle Between Heaven and Man, which narrates the battle between heaven and man in the past and present, but many things also allude to the present. With this picture book alone, Lu Bu's reputation in the Central Plains has greatly increased, and among them The things described are not completely unreasonable, I am blunt and don't know the joints, so I brought the book and asked the two gentlemen."

Meng Jian and Shi Tao flipped through books very quickly, especially Shi Tao, who took a picture book with fewer words, so it was naturally easier to flip through.

"The struggle between heaven and man? The first emperor conquered the sky?" After seeing it, Meng Jian snorted coldly and said, "Is Chu Nan vainly trying to shake Jiangdong's heart with this thing? Heh~"

"Sir, do you think this book was written indiscriminately?" Liu Bei looked at Meng Jian and said.

"My lord, what is said in this book is mostly illusory and strange talk, how can people believe it?" Shi Tao shook his head and said: "And what is said in this book is clearly belittling Jiangdong and criticizing him for worshiping the heaven, but as far as I know , this Jiangdong summoning technique did indeed allow Sun Quan and Chu Nan to win the partial war. Chu Nan's method was intended to abolish Sun Quan's support. Now that the Chu Nan soldiers are approaching Nanyang and attacking Xiangyang at any time, what are they asking for? Isn't it obvious?"

Sun Quan's biggest reliance is the magic spell in the army, which can greatly enhance the combat power of soldiers. Naturally, Chu Nan does not want to see such a situation. It is ridiculous to want to use a book to abolish Jiang Dong's arm.

"However, this book is quite strange. It makes people forget to eat and sleep after reading it. In addition, the great Confucian Chen Gong presided over the compilation. Flow into Jingzhou, so as not to shake the morale of the army." Meng Jian said in a deep voice.

Although he has been criticizing this matter all the time, the strange thing is that he just finished reading the book, and he was a little excited, and even wanted to participate in the war in person and make some contributions to the human race.

They are like this, let alone ordinary people?

The current situation in Jingzhou is already critical, this book cannot be kept among the people, otherwise it will destabilize the hearts of the people and only increase changes and twists and turns.

Liu Bei nodded, since the two counselors said so, let's do what they said.

"Mr. Jing Sheng invited me to Xiangyang tomorrow, what do you two think?" Liu Bei put the matter aside, turned to look at the two and asked.

"The situation in Xiangyang is turbulent now, and the scholars are very strict with Duke Jing Sheng. It's okay if it's just a small talk, but if Duke Jing Sheng intends to trust each other, Cai Mao will definitely be dissatisfied, and then the lord will be in danger."

Guan Yu snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Since that's the case, I'll go with my elder brother to see how presumptuous those rats are!"

"General Guan is going, but before that, I'm going to go to Xiangyang today, maybe I can gain something!" Meng Jian looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice.

"What's the trick, sir?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"It's not a clever plan, but... I know the righteousness. As for whether it will be successful, I can't guarantee it." Meng Jian shook his head: "Let's try it first, and if it works, then discuss it with the Lord!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Mister, be careful, I'll ask Yun Chang to escort you there."

"That's not necessary. I'm just going to visit friends. He Laoyun will escort you. There is no risk in this matter. Regardless of success or failure, I will greet the Lord in Xiangyang tomorrow morning." Meng Jian shook his head.

"it is good!"
