Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 147 Greedy Heart
Jiangxia County, in Xiling City.

Liu Bei also looked helpless as he looked at Zhuge Liang, who had just arrived from Wuling to deal with matters in Jingnan.

Regarding the matter of asking Chen Zhen to send a letter of war, if Zhuge Liang hadn't found him personally and said these words, Liu Bei would definitely think that there was some villain who was trying to play a trick on him.

Moreover, he was persuaded not to attack Xiangyang, but to sit back and watch the situation in Xiangyang slowly stabilize, thus losing the best opportunity in Liu Bei's opinion.

Now that the war letter has been sent, Sun Quan is also angry. Liu Bei feels that his Zhuge military adviser should also give himself an explanation.

"Kong Ming, can you tell me what you think now that things have happened?
Now that it was a foregone conclusion that the Cao thieves would go south, Le Jin and Xiahou Dun attacked Jiangxia and Wancheng respectively as a test. Problems also appeared in Fancheng and Xinye.

We should unite with Jiangdong now and beware of Shi Xie. But why did you do the opposite? "

"My lord, there is no need to panic. This is the opposite because the situation today is very different from before." As Zhuge Liang raised his hand, someone handed over the map, and Zhuge Liang also started his plan.

"Look, my lord, Jingzhou is indeed in danger now. Xiangyang is occupied by Liu Cong, the rebellious son, and Cai Kuapang and other families are also causing trouble.

Now the surrounding places such as Zhangling, Shangyong and even Nanyang must have been included in their pockets. This is the strength and confidence of the Jingzhou wealthy family in the past ten years.

Previously, Liang had always asked his lord to guard Jingnan, because compared to Jingbei, their forces did not intervene in Jingnan and Jiangxia.

If we attack Xiangyang and other places now, we will definitely make them fight back desperately. At that time, they will use the late Liu Jingzhou's order as an excuse to angrily accuse us of having ulterior motives, thus arousing the resistance of the soldiers and the people.

Once this happens, even if we are strong and strong, we will fall into a long-term stalemate, and Cao Jun will immediately let him take advantage of it when he arrives.

When that time comes, no matter whether we suffer any losses, we can only choose to evacuate Jingnan.

This not only ruined the previous plan, but also greatly affected our morale.

Therefore, Liang suggested that the lord temporarily abandon Jingbei, leaving only Yuan Zhi of Fancheng and Zilong of Xinye to form a line of defense with Fancheng and Xinye to defend Nanyang County.

Cai Mao and others were worried that we would sneak attack Xiangyang, and they were also worried about what General Wenpin and Huang Zhong would think of Liu Cong, so they absolutely did not dare to send troops and horses to conquer without authorization.

Since then, it has given me the opportunity to continue the stalemate. "

"But even so, what will happen if Cao Mengde comes? Once they surrender."

"What I want is for them to surrender!" Zhuge Liang interrupted Liu Bei's worries with a chuckle, "Once Cao Cao's thieves go south to Jingzhou, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others will definitely persuade Liu Cong to surrender.

Although Liu Cong seemed smart, he had no idea in mind. Under such circumstances, he could only follow the situation.

And in order to be safe when surrendering, Cai Mao and others will definitely gather all their forces in Xiangyang City, which will ensure their safety.

And this is the opportunity we are waiting for. Liu Cong does not want to surrender in his heart, and the people of Jingzhou and the soldiers of Jingzhou also do not want to surrender.

Cao Cao's reputation for massacring the city has spread all over the world. When he enters Jingzhou, it will definitely make people panic. In addition, if the Jingzhou soldiers surrender without a fight, they will inevitably feel aggrieved.

And at that time, the Lord only needs to raise the flag of the late Liu Jingzhou, with the eldest son as the commander, and defend Jingzhou from being massacred by Cao's thieves, which is the name of our army!

By that time, the battlefield in Nanyang was already solid and clear. General Wenpin might still listen to Liu Cong's ideas, but General Huang Zhong would definitely fight back boldly.

When we send troops to attack Nanjun at this time, it will definitely be overwhelming, and the people and soldiers in the city will rush to join us.

Without the constraints of the Cai family and other families, with the reputation of the lord, the name of the eldest son and the late Liu Jingzhou, our army can quickly capture the land of Nanjun and thus surround Xiangyang!
As for Cao's army, I'm afraid they were still blocked outside Xinye and Fancheng at that time, unable to move. "

After Zhuge Liang explained Xiangyang, he then put his finger on the land of Jiangdong and even the Shaxian of Jiangxia. "As for Jiang Dong and Shi Xie, my lord is not wrong in his thinking, but there is one thing he has overlooked.

That is to say, his Shixie is older than the late Liu Jingzhou.

Although Liang didn't find out the date of Ta Shixie's birthday in Jiaozhou, Liang asked Yuan Zhi to attend Ta Shixie's 70th birthday two years ago."

"Shi Xie is 72 this year?"

Liu Bei was also surprised at this time. He really forgot Shi Xie's age. Not only him, it can be said that not many people in the world remember Shi Xie's age.

After all, it's hard for you to imagine a bad old man in his 70s and [-]s leading troops to suppress the rebellion all day long, and then constantly revealing his existence in Jiaozhou.

Either to serve the imperial court, or to give advice to the former governor of Jiaozhou, so that Jiaozhou could change from governor to state pastor, or to simply participate in it personally and become a pawn to control others.
72-year-old Liu Bei himself is not even half a century old this year and he already feels that he is unable to do what he wants. Normal people cannot believe that he can live to be seventy.

It's not like Shi Xie who is still struggling in Jiaozhou at such an old age
But after thinking about this, Liu Bei also understood why Zhuge Liang was so gentle towards Shi Xie.

"72-year-old Shixie, no matter how long he can live, at this age he will live less and less every day.

All he can do in the future is to enjoy his old age as comfortably as possible and leave a way for his family's descendants to survive.

Shi Xie will definitely not offend me because of Cao Mengde, after all he is also worried that if he makes me anxious, he will give up Jingzhou and transfer to Jiaozhou.

That's not a good thing for him. "

"My lord is right." Zhuge Liang also admitted this idea, "And the scholar family does not want to surrender to anyone, what they want more is to monopolize Jiaozhou.

So now that Cao thief is going south, we are under pressure, and they are even more under pressure.

As long as they don't take action, they will always have a choice, but if they do, they will no longer have a choice. "

"Kong Ming is a great talent." Liu Bei changed to a more comfortable and relaxed posture at this time, then raised his hand and continued towards Zhuge Liang, "Go on, how about Jiangdong?"

"Jiangdong. Never show weakness to Jiangdong!"

"Why?"

"The Sun family in Jiangdong can be regarded as having only just begun to rise. Although it is said that the Sun family is a powerful family in Wu County, whether it was Sun Wentai who fought on the battlefield or Sun Bofu who later defeated Jiangdong.

They can be regarded as creating a world by relying on their own abilities.

Now Sun Zhongmou is full of confidence and it is time to challenge the world to surpass his father and brother. Zhou Gongjin is also heroic and will not give up this huge Jiangdong to others.

Therefore, whether we unite with him or not will not affect their view of Cao Mengde.

As for the other people in Jiangdong, Zhou Gongjin is still alive and Sun Zhongmou is still alive, so there is nothing wrong with the others! "
