Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 43 Liu Bei’s development path
Kong Ming looked at Wu Chen in front of him, still with a smile on his face, but did not immediately reply to his question.

After this period of communication, he already knew one thing very clearly, that is, Wu Chen was still an old friend of Liu Bei, but he was also the governor of Cangwu County in Jiaozhou.

Although there are nine counties in Jiaozhou, there are not many that are truly rich. Among them, Cangwu is one of the most important counties.

Wu Chen, who was just a general under Liu Biao in Jingzhou before, finally found an opportunity. At this time, Jiaozhou was leaderless. He felt that if he could establish a foothold in Jiaozhou, he might not be able to become the guest in the future.

This is the biggest problem between him and Lai Gong. It is not because of the disharmony between the two, or because of any old grudge between the two.

In the final analysis, Lai Gong has no self-reliance, and Wu Chen not only wants to get rid of Lai Gong, he may even want to get rid of Liu Biao.

It was because of his initial speculation about this matter that Kong Ming thought of a way to let Liu Bei rise secretly.

"Wu Fujun, Liang wants to ask Fujun first, what do you think of this place in Jiaozhou?"

"Before coming to Jiaozhou, I thought this place was just a barbaric place where celebrities once gathered.

But now. But it is not the case!

Jiaozhou's climate is different from that of the north, even from Jingchu. Although it is mountainous, it is not as dangerous as the mountains and rivers of Yizhou in the southwest, but it also has rich and fertile land.

At that time, a large number of celebrities gathered, and Jiaozhou under their governance was not uncivilized as rumored by the outside world.

On the contrary, various forces have spread out. It is precisely because of the mixed forces that the famous people gradually left this place and turned to Yangzhou or Jingchu.

In addition, Jiaozhou is also rich in products. Although it is not famous for its grain production, I have seen many rare items during this time.

Objects such as incense, ivory, rhino horn, coral, colored glaze, and large pearl green jade, which are rare outside, are not considered rare here.

In addition, this place is rich in silver and copper! "

As if Wu Chen didn't have any thoughts, he told Kong Ming all about the situation in Jiaozhou, even with a strong sense of envy.

This made Kong Ming smile, and Xi Zhen frowned, not knowing what this person wanted to do.

It was a failure for Liu Jingsheng to let a man like him without a city government to garrison Cangwu.

It's just that Xi Hong seems to have seen something, but he is not sure.

Kong Ming and Wu Chen talked for a long time about Jiaozhou, but Kong Ming refused to answer Wu Chen's initial question, and Wu Chen seemed to have forgotten the matter.

At the end of the banquet, Wu Chen said again to Kong Ming with a hint of drunkenness.

"If your general comes, let him come to the old man, the old man has already prepared the supplies, you can rest assured!
Xuande and I are old friends, best friends!
Remember, remember! "

Even when he was being carried away by his servants, he kept shouting about the friendship between him and Liu Bei.

These words made Xi Zhen furious.

"There is no truth in this guy's mouth. If he really cares about the relationship with the lord, how can he show more kindness to the military advisor and seem to want the general to stay?
I must have a good talk with my lord about this kind of people when I get back.

You must not get close to this person! "

"It is true that you should not have close friendship with him. This person is too ambitious. He wants to occupy Jiaozhou and stand on his own, and he also has such strength.

This was something he wouldn't give even if it was his lord's face.

He turned around and told Lai Gong that if things were not in danger, he would retreat to Jingnan, and the Lord would send someone to rescue him. Life should be the most important thing in everything. "

Kong Ming's words made Xi Zhen immediately bow and agree, but after Xi Zhen also left, Xi Hong walked up with a bit of a smile.

"It seems that Kong Ming has already thought about my future path." Looking at the smile on Xi Hong's face, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile slightly, "What did Zhong Xiang see?"

"Wu Chen has ambitions, and Kong Ming, you also have the desire to use it, no, it should be said that you have the desire to cooperate.

When you come to Jiaozhou this time, you are not here to mediate conflicts on behalf of the lord, nor are you here to find allies for the lord. I think you want to find a way for Wu Chen to rise. "

"Oh, Wen Xiang, why don't you tell me what you think." Kong Ming and Xi Hong were talking while walking. At the same time, Kong Ming looked a little surprised at Xi Hong in front of him.

It was indeed a pity for this person in his previous life. He was loyal, courageous, strategic, and discerning, but he was unlucky.

Back then, Yunchang was betrayed by Jiangdong and lost Jingzhou. Although the four counties in Jingnan were easily captured by Lu Xun because Pan Jun presented the defense plan.

But during this process, there were still many people who fought to the end for Ji Han.

For example, Xi Hong's brother Xi Zhen refused to retreat under Lu Meng's attack, and eventually committed suicide after the city was breached.

Zhan Yan and Chen Feng fought to the end. In the end, one of them died and the other was captured and imprisoned for life.

Deng Fu, the governor of Fangling, and Guo Mu, the governor of Nanxiang.After the fall of Jingnan, Wenbu, Deng Kai and others from the Zigui clan also recruited young people and even barbarians again, and were eventually killed or captured. Only Wenbu had no choice but to surrender.

Xi Hong saw that Wu Ling was interested in joining Fan Zhou, and wanted Xi Zhen to surrender, and then joined forces with Fan Zhou to bring Wu Ling back to Jihan.

But it failed, and Xi Hong refused to answer every question from then on, and refused to say a word for Sun Quan for the rest of his life.
In this regard, Kong Ming in his previous life felt that they were very sorry for these people, for failing to let them show their talents, and for failing to rescue them from Jiangdong.
Just when Kong Ming was thinking about the regrets of his previous life, Xi Hong had already adjusted his thinking.

"Previously, I thought that my lord wanted to lure out the Wuling barbarians, and then cut off the barbarians' return from the rear. In this way, at least one of the two generals Huang Zhong and Liu Pan could be transferred away from You County.

Thus entering the Wuling battlefield, you can even get in touch with Yizhou.

The barbarians in Wuling are numerous and ferocious in their attacks. If they can be trained well, they can be a helping hand.

But things are different now. Mr. Kong Ming’s idea may be more accurate than our guess.

The gentleman not only wants to take the Wuling barbarians for his own use, but also wants Wu Chen to truly occupy Jiaozhou and then hide his power in Jiaozhou.

In this way, even Liu Jingsheng would have a hard time finding it.

It’s just that I always feel like I’ve seen this strategy before somewhere.”

"This is how Zhou Gongjin helped Sun Bofu gather a capable army under Yuan Shu's nose.

This strategy looks familiar but you can't remember it because it is not known to outsiders, but there are some traces of it. "

"Yes, yes," Xi Hong suddenly realized at this time, and then a new doubt appeared, "Since it is not known to outsiders, how did Mr. Kong Ming know?"

"."

Kong Ming was silent, but at this moment, his mind was recalling the banquet he had when he was on mission to Chai Sang.

The heroic Zhou Gongjin drank and sang with him. The two of them talked about the affairs of the world and talked about how to break the chaos in the world.

At that time, both of them had a feeling of seeing each other lately, at that time, they were still the best allies
"Gongjin, what a pity! What a pain!"
