Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 679 Preparation
Guo Jia is gone. The Jiangdong matter needs to be resolved quickly. They need to integrate as soon as possible. There are also problems within Jingzhou that need to be dealt with. This matter can be done slowly. The matter of Chu Nan has already been filed. Now that the first step has been completed, and Liu Bei actually agrees, the next step will be much easier.

"Uncle Gao Yi, Liang admires it!" After Guo Jia left, Zhuge Liang saluted Liu Bei with a smile.

"Mr. Yu Bei has the grace of saving lives, so this great gift cannot be performed." Liu Bei hurriedly supported Zhuge Liang, looked at Zhuge Liang and said.

Now that he has decided to let go of his personal grievances and gains and losses, he no longer treats Zhuge Liang as eagerly as before. Instead, he invites Zhuge Liang to sit down and discuss in detail like a friend, and the atmosphere is much more harmonious.

"Has the emperor thought about the future?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

"From now on?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang in astonishment. Didn't he just say that?Together with Guan Yu and Meng Jian, go to the outer battlefield to protect this world.

"Liang is talking about Jingzhou. Even though the emperor is willing to form an alliance with the prime minister, the families in Jingzhou may not be willing to accept the New Deal." Zhuge Liang laughed.

Although Liu Bei is the lord of Jingzhou in name, he cannot represent the wishes of the Jingzhou people. If the gentry in Jingzhou were really willing to surrender, the gentry in Jingzhou might have surrendered directly when Chu went south. How could Liu Bei take over as the lord of Jingzhou? Opportunity?
"These things should be considered by Chu Nan." Meng Jian snorted coldly: "Since Guo Jia is here, I can assure you that Chu Nan has already made preparations, otherwise he would not let it go easily. Open this Xiangyang gap!"

Although he hates Chu Nan, Meng Jian also knows that this Chu Nan never does anything he is not sure of. Guo Jia's door-to-door persuasion is only the first step. The enemy is a headache, because once he takes the initiative, any clever tricks are meaningless to him.

But as an ally, it is still very worry-free.

Besides, they are going to conquer the sky, and they are also in an alliance with Chu Nan, not a subordinate, so why should they think about him in everything.

"However, if this matter is not handled well, it will easily delay the opportunity of the battle." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The matter is of great importance, you and I don't understand the current situation in Jiangdong, and if you are quick, you can take the lead! "

Liu Bei nodded silently. Once this matter spreads, it will be difficult to do.

"Does Kong Ming have a clever plan?" Liu Bei tried to ask.

"If there is only the emperor uncle in Jingzhou, this matter is really difficult to handle, but since we have agreed to form an alliance, and Jingzhou will also be handed over to the prime minister, then the matter is indeed easy to solve. What I said next can only make this matter smoother." Zhuge Liang smiled. road.

"Sir, please speak!" Liu Bei said hastily.

"First of all, the emperor needs to know who is trustworthy and who can use it, and firmly holds several important towns in his hands to ensure that the imperial court can take over as soon as possible. According to my humble opinion, Jiangling, Zhouling, and Shaxian are here. If the three places can be occupied, the north and south of Jingzhou can be obtained at any time, and the rest of the cities will not obey orders, as long as the imperial court occupies these three places, the rest can be taken down." Zhuge Liang laughed.

The most important thing in Jingzhou is Nanjun. Among the many cities in Nanjun, Xiangyang and Jiangling are two big cities. Xiangyang is the northern gateway of Jingzhou, and Jiangling is a big city near the river.

As for Zhouling, it is also an important crossing on the Linjiang River. Shaxian is in Jingnan. It may not even take an hour to send troops from Jiangxia to Shaxian. As long as Shaxian occupies it, water confrontation can be avoided. This is Chunan's weakness.

Although there are many cities in the four counties of Jingnan, they are all small cities. The combined population of the four counties is less than that of half of Nanjun. It is not possible to flourish in two years.

As long as there is Sha Xian's foothold, even one partial division is enough to pacify the four Jingnan counties.

"Uncle Huang only needs to ensure that these three cities are in his hands, that's enough." Zhuge Liang laughed.

Liu Bei looked at Meng Jian, saw Meng Jian nodded, and said with a smile: "So, I will follow Mr.'s plan."

At present, Liu Bei dispatched troops and horses, and ordered Chen Dao, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu to guard Shaxian, Liu Pan to guard Zhouling, Liu Bei, Wenpin, Liu Hu, Wang Wei, Xiahoubo, and Meng Jian to sit in Jiangling, and then ordered Sun Qian to go to Xiangyang. Tell Guan Yu about this.

"Kong Ming, why didn't you take the opportunity to promise this last shot?" In the government office, Liu Bei had already gone to make preparations, Meng Jian and Zhuge Liang were sitting together, Meng Jian looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"There is no objection, why bring it up again? Besides, keeping this matter on the lips all the time, it is a bit of a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, Liu Bei still has one last chance to make a move, so he naturally Remember, it’s just such a small effort to use up an opportunity, not to mention whether Liu Bei will use it, Zhuge Liang will feel that he is a bit cheap.

"Humph!" Meng Jian snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know. You were always unwilling to persuade you to go out to fight against Chu. This time, you made an alliance between the two sides and asked the master to give power. You have been working hard in secret. In fact, your heart has always been for that Chu Nan, but because of your position, you have never been an official, right?"

"The emperor's uncle and the prime minister are both benevolent and righteous monarchs. Since this is the case, wouldn't it be a good thing for the world to be peaceful sooner?" Zhuge Liang said with emotion: "As for whether to become an official... In fact, if Liang wants to become an official, he will not consider these things. Dao Mingzhu, just based on the previous momentum, it is meaningless in this world whether he will be an official or not."

Meng Jian glanced at him, nodded and said, "Perhaps, then are you willing to become an official now?"

"What do you mean?" Zhuge Liang looked at Meng Jian puzzled.

"This time to crusade against Jiangdong!" Meng Jian looked at Zhuge Liang and said solemnly: "I know you have great ability, I want to use the third token, please Kong Ming to help my lord crusade against Jiangdong."

"Don't worry about public prestige, this battle concerns the world, even if there is no public prestige, Liang will join the battle." Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled without going to pick up the feather.

"Kong Ming doesn't understand me, I want to ask Kong Ming to protect my Lord well!" Meng Jian looked at Zhuge Liang seriously and said.

"You..." Zhuge Liang looked at Meng Jian in surprise.

"I can't trust that Chu Nan. Although my lord, it will be difficult to threaten him after this battle, but he is cautious by nature. He may treat the people sincerely, but he may not treat me." Meng Jian obviously did not trust Chu Nan's character. After all, few of the princes who fell under Chu Nan's subordinates seemed to end well.

Sun Ce, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao arrived in Yuan Shao, which one is still alive?

Who knows if Chu Nan will make a trick at this time to assassinate Liu Bei?

Meng Jian understood Chu Nan's fighting style, but regarding his character... In the eyes of scholars, how can there be any character in Chu Nan?

"You...Gongwei doesn't need to be so careful. From my point of view, the prime minister is quite tolerant." Zhuge Liang couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

"He was born in a family of merchants, so he was good at calculating the gains and losses. He married the common people and suppressed the nobles only out of consideration of interests. What kind of virtue can a person of this kind of background have?" Meng Jian obviously didn't believe it, and insisted on letting Zhuge Liang take this token. .

Zhuge Liang looked at the feathers he sent out at the beginning, and then at Meng Jiandao: "Gongwei can think clearly, this is the last time!"

"Don't worry, just as you would never persuade me to vote for Chu Nan, I will not force you to do anything, you and I are good friends!" Meng Jian nodded.

"Okay!" Zhuge Liang put away his feathers and said, "After this battle, is Gongwei really going to the sky?"

"Since you can't help the lord achieve his great cause, then go to the outer world and do something for the common people in this world. Let Chu Nan know that they are not the only ones who are willing to serve the common people in this world. Among our scholars, there are also those who are willing to do something for this world." There are people in the world who contribute their strength." Meng Jian nodded and said.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded. Everyone has the right to choose their own future. As a friend, he doesn't need to force the other party to follow the same path as him, so he didn't say anything more.

On the other side, Sun Qian arrived in Xiangyang unimpeded all the way, without being intercepted by the Chunan army on the way, and met Guan Yu smoothly.

"Gongyou, is this really the lord's decision?" Shi Tao frowned and asked Sun Qian.

"That's right, my lord was invited to discuss matters in Jiangdong before, but I almost died in Jiangdong. I was also taken away by Sun Quan. If it weren't for the help of strange people, my lord might not be able to come back, and the dispute between heaven and man has been confirmed to be true, is it true?" I am willing to let go of past grievances, form an alliance with Chunan, break Jiangdong, and then go to the outer world to join the war, and no longer care about the affairs of this world!" Sun Qian bowed to Guan Yu and said: "It's just the revenge of the three generals, I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge it!"

Guan Yu looked at the letter without saying a word. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Sun Gandao: "I know, let me tell my brother, Yu... is willing to follow my brother, no matter where he is!"

"Second General..." Seeing that Guan Yu was calm and abnormal, Sun Qian wanted to say something worried, but was interrupted by Guan Yu.

"I already know the matter. Tomorrow morning, I will open the city to handover, and then I will go back to join my brother. You can go." Guan Yu waved his hand, not wanting to hear more from him.

"Farewell!" Sun Quan saluted silently, then turned and left.

"General Guan, this matter..." Shi Tao rubbed his temples. He is in the same situation as Meng Jian. He is a life-and-death enemy with Chu Nan. He is already ready to die in Xiangyang, but now he is going to make him die. Xiangyang surrendered, although it was not a surrender, but it was no different from a surrender.

"Since elder brother has made a decision, I will follow it. The handover needs to be presided over by Guangyuan." Guan Yu got up and said.

"Where is Yun Chang going?" Seeing Guan Yu leaving, Shi Tao hurriedly asked.

Guan Yu didn't answer, and left directly.

In Xiangyang City, in Guan Yu's mansion, there is a spiritual tablet of Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei also has it, but with Liu Bei's move to Jiangling, Liu Bei's spiritual tablet moved to Jiangling.

Guan Yu sat in front of Zhang Fei's coffin, wiping his Azure Dragon Saber without saying a word. He sat for the whole night until the next morning, when Guan Ping came in from the door, carefully glanced at his father and said, "Father!" , Mr. Guangyuan said, everything is ready and we are going out of the city."

Guan Yu stood up, nodded slightly to Zhang Feiling, and then went out with the knife...
