Liu Bei was a little stunned, and asked for a while, "Military division, what do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, I'm not too sure, but I feel that Liu Jing's building the army city on the Lishui River is just one of his strategies."

"Strategy?" Liu Bei became even more confused, "What kind of strategy, can the military advisor explain it clearly?"

"Weichen was thinking on the way, the Han army always launched wars after spring plowing, why this time so early? Weichen thought of a possibility, perhaps Liu Jing's purpose in building momentum in Cangwu County was to transfer the state army north to Cang Wu Commandery and Luling Commandery emptied Nanhai Commandery and Panyu City."

Liu Bei understood a little bit, and he interjected: "The military adviser means that Liu Jing is actually going to attack Nanhai County, or directly attack Panyu City?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, "I suspect that the real main force of the Han army will come by sea."

"Sea Road!"

Liu Bei was stunned, and then he shook his head again and again and said, "Impossible! The assumption of the military division is too absurd. How could the Han army come by sea? Absolutely impossible!"

"I thought it was impossible at first, but when I thought of the Han army capturing Kuaiji County by sea, I felt that everything was possible. Of course, the warships of the Han army could not enter the deep sea, but if the Han army walked close to the coastline, their Warships can withstand the wind and waves, and winter and spring are seasons when the wind and waves are relatively small. If the warships of the Han army come in from Lingdingyang and go straight to Panyu City, and our army is restrained in the north, Panyu City will be in danger. gone."

Liu Bei sat down slowly, and his heart was a little confused. If it is true that Zhuge Liang said, the Han army came from the sea outside Panyu, it would be a disaster, but he should follow Zhuge Liang's suggestion and send Zhang Fei's army from Luling County. Withdrawing would be tantamount to handing over Luling County to the Han army, and it was impossible for him to do so. He was flustered and lost his mind for a while.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei's thoughts were undecided, so he bowed and said: "My lord, think about it carefully first, I will come to meet my lord in a day or two, and I will leave first!"

Zhuge Liang retreated slowly, but Liu Bei's mood was not at all calm. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the white clouds in the sky.

It is said that there was heavy snowfall in the northern part of Cangwu County, but Panyu City was still hot. This heat affected his thinking and made him extremely bored. He planned to march into Jian'an County after the spring, but unexpectedly, the Han army came first and went to Cangwu County. Wu County has launched an offensive, is Liu Jing really just building momentum?

At this time, if Liu Bei felt something, he turned around and saw Bo Ma Di, the master of the room, standing aside, seemingly hesitating to speak. Liu Bei sat back in his seat and asked Ma Di, "Master Bo also heard the military adviser's message just now." Analysis, do you think the military division is right?"

Ma Su hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I feel that the military division's analysis of the militia is correct, and letting the militia fight against the Han army will only cause trouble."

Before Ma Su finished speaking, Liu Bei interrupted him impatiently, "I'm not talking about the militia, I'm talking about the Han army attacking by water, do you think it's possible?"

"This humble minister dare not speak nonsense."

"Just say what you want, and I'm just listening."

"Yes! Weichen noticed the tone of the military division. The military division first said that he was not too sure, and then said 'maybe, maybe', etc. These are all hypothetical words, which shows that the military division is just guessing, and he really can't guarantee it. The Han army will attack from the sea, but I know that the construction of the military city by the Han army in Lishui has actually happened, one side is hypothetical, and the other side is real, how will the lord choose?"

Liu Bei nodded in praise and said, "You speak well, your thinking is clear, and the context is clear. You can continue talking."

Ma Di pondered for a while and said, "I feel that even if the Han army may attack by sea, if the lord adopts the plan of the military adviser and withdraws the army from Luling County to Panyu, what will happen to Luling County? Wei Yan's [-] troops will make a big move Go south, capture Luling County, and then turn around and attack Cangwu County. General Guan, under the front and rear attacks, not only cannot defend Guangxin County, but may also be in danger of life. After massacring Panyu, under the siege of tens of thousands of Han troops, how long do you think the city of Panyu can hold?"

Ma Di's analysis was very thorough, which made Liu Bei's thinking clear. Ma Di was right. He couldn't give up the real crisis just because of a hypothesis. In any case, he couldn't lose Cangwu County. Thinking of this, Liu Bei praised Ma Di: "Young Chang He also has the talent of a military division."

Ma Di hurriedly said modestly: "Thanks to the lord's praise, I feel ashamed and dare not take it seriously, but I still have one thing to remind the lord."

"Whatever you say, just say it!"

"Weichen reminds the lord that if you send an army to save Cangwu, it is best not to let a military division lead the army."

"Why?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"My lord, have you forgotten the defeat of Yuzhang?"

One sentence from Ma Di immediately reminded Liu Bei that he only found out afterwards that the relationship between Guan Yu and the military division was not on good terms. The two had disputes in Yuzhang. : "You reminded me very well, I will not make the same mistake as before, you can go and find General Chen to meet me."

Liu Bei made up his mind, he was no longer influenced by Zhuge Liang's speculation, he decided to carry out his established strategy, armed with [-] civilians, and rushed to Guangxin County with [-] troops to support Guan Yu, with the support of [-] troops , I believe that Guan Yu can divide his troops to destroy the Han army's city building plan.

Zhuge Liang returned to his mansion and walked up the steps, just in time to meet his son Zhuge Zhan coming out of the mansion. Zhuge Zhan was originally his elder brother Zhuge Jinzhi. Because Zhuge Liang had no children, Zhuge Jin adopted his son to his brother. Zhuge Zhan was only eight years old. Very smart, studious, and in good health, he quickly adapted to the hot climate in Jiaozhou.

Zhuge Zhan met his father head-on, and he quickly bowed to salute, "My child sees my father!"

Zhuge Liang liked this succession very much, he asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

"My son heard that there was a bookstore opened in Jiaozhou City, so he wanted to take a look, and my mother agreed for my son to go."

"Then go! Go early and return early."

"My child understands!" Zhuge Zhan saluted and walked away quickly.

At this time, the mansion had already received news of the master's return, his wife Huang Yueying rushed out to greet her, but her daughter Zhuge Guo ran ahead, "Daddy is back!"

Zhuge Guo is already 14 years old and is about to get married. She is tall and beautiful, but she still has a childlike innocence. She ran up and hugged her father's arm and said, "What gift did Daddy bring me?"

Zhuge Liang loved this precious daughter dearly, but he had nothing to do with her, so he tapped her on the head, and scolded her with a smile: "A girl of this age is still thinking about presents, isn't it ashamed?"

Zhuge Guo pouted and said, "Daddy brings me gifts every time, but this time he obviously forgot, but he said that my daughter was wrong."

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to take out a string of pearl necklace from his bosom, handed it to her and said, "This is bought for you in Beihai County, it's a really good sea pearl, please be satisfied!"

Zhuge Guo was overjoyed, snatched Haizhu, turned around and ran towards the mansion, and heard her shouting from a distance: "Little brother, Daddy bought me a present, you lost."

Only then did Zhuge Liang realize that the two of them had made a bet, and he shook his head helplessly. He was about to tell his daughter that his younger brother had gone out, but her daughter had already disappeared.

At this time, Huang Yueying stepped forward and complained with a smile: "Look at you! You said that your daughter won't grow up, but you spoil her, can she grow up?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, "I hope Guo'er never grows up."

Zhuge Liang walked into the inner hall, Huang Yueying took off her outer clothes for her husband and said with a smile: "I received two letters at once yesterday, one is a letter from my elder brother to my husband, and the other is a letter from Princess Han to me, it's really strange .”

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, "Did Princess Han send you a letter?"

"That's right! We haven't corresponded for almost a year, but this time she suddenly wrote a letter. I'm really confused."

"What is she writing?"

"It's just talking about the family's short stories, saying that she gave birth to a daughter again, and the family has a large population, and she is dizzy with busy work all day. It's just a woman's talk, and my husband won't be interested."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Maybe she thought of you as an old friend again, did you reply?"

"Not yet! If my husband doesn't object, I'll write back to her."

"It's okay, you can go back! Also give me my brother's letter."

Zhuge Liang took the letter from his elder brother Zhuge Jin and came to the study. Zhuge Liang knew that his elder brother had surrendered to the Han Dynasty and was named the prefect of Yuzhang by Liu Jing. Their uncle had served as the prefect of Yuzhang back then. Unexpectedly, his elder brother inherited his uncle's career.

Zhuge Liang is a staunch supporter of the Han faction. He resolutely opposed the alliance between Liu Bei and Cao Cao. In the end, under his opposition, Zhong Yao went back with nothing. Zhuge Liang didn't dislike Liu Jing. I am deeply admired. The difference between him and Liu Jing is the question of who will revive the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang hopes that the emperor's uncle Liu Bei will revive the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Bei lived in the frontier of Jiaozhou, Zhuge Liang still refused to give up his ideals. He designed a plan for Liu Bei to develop to the southeast, that is, to capture Jian'an County first, and then capture Linhai County, and then take advantage of the decline in the east of the river and the mountains in the west. Capture Kuaiji County and even the entire Jiangdong, so that they can use Jiangdong as the foundation, and after another 20 years of hard work, they finally defeated Cao Cao and confronted Han.

But it can only be said that the ideal is very lofty, but the reality is very cruel. Before they sent troops to Jian'an County, Liu Jing attacked Jiangdong, shattering their ideals. Zhuge Liang was also hit hard. Now he only thinks about how to keep Jiaozhou , As for the long-term development, we can only talk about it after defeating the Han army.

Zhuge Liang opened his brother's letter, but before he could read it carefully, his wife's voice came from outside the door, "Husband, may I come in?"

"Please come in!"

Huang Yueying came in with a bowl of ginseng tea, she put the ginseng tea on the table, and said to her husband: "I heard a piece of news just now, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"What news?" Zhuge Liang took a sip from the tea bowl and asked casually.

"I heard that Uncle Huang sent General Chen to lead an army of seven thousand to Cangwu County."

"what!"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, loosened his hand, and the tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
