Soldiers come to the world

Although Liu Jing repeatedly persuaded him to stay, Zhuge Liang decided to return to Gong'an County that night. In fact, Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that Liu Bei prepared him to bring his wife and daughter to Wuchang, which was actually a kind of trust in him.

But if you think about it deeply, this is also Liu Bei's worry and trick, and he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would seek refuge in Jiang Xia, so he was asked to take his wife and daughter with him. If Zhuge Liang didn't come back, then he would have a moral problem .

Not only this, but also a more important reason, Zhuge Liang is basically sure that Liu Jing's next goal is Bashu, and he must go back as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Liu Bei.

It is necessary to seize the strategic initiative in Bashu before the end of the Jiangdong Army's westward campaign. Either let Liu Zhang mainly invite the Jingnan Army to enter Shu, or launch a surprise attack to occupy Badong County.

However, Zhuge Liang's daughter, Zhuge Guo, seemed to be sick and unable to travel long distances. Coupled with Tao Zhan's diligent persuasion, Zhuge Liang decided to go back first and let his wife and daughter stay in Jiangxia for a while. [

On the pier, Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and bid farewell to the military advisors Jia Xu and Xu Shu who came to see him off, "Please ask Jia Junshi and Xu Changshi to convey my thanks to Liu Zhoumu for his hospitality. Kong Ming will always remember it in his heart."

Jia Xu also cupped his hands and smiled back: "I also wish Mr. Zhuge a smooth journey, take care!"

"Take care!" Xu Shu cupped his hands.

Leaving the pier by boat, raising the sails and heading north, Xu Shu looked at Zhuge Liang's departure and sighed softly. Zhuge Liang came to Jiangxia yesterday and left again today, and he only said a word to himself,' Xu Changshi, long time no see! '

It was this short sentence that made him quite emotional. He and Zhuge Liang were close friends back then. Since the two embarked on different official careers, their friendship seemed to have disappeared.

On the contrary, it is a woman. The friendship between Huang Yueying and Tao Zhan has not been affected. They have not seen each other for several years and still have such a deep friendship.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help sighing again, and said to Jia Xu: "Does the military master feel that Kong Ming's mood seems not very optimistic?"

Jia Xu also sensed that Zhuge Liang was preoccupied, and said with a smile, "Perhaps Zhuge Liang has obtained information that they are unwilling to face."

"Military division refers to Bashu?" Xu Shu asked cautiously.

Jia Xu nodded, "I think it should be. He came yesterday and left today. He must have heard some unfavorable information at the racecourse. I don't know what the state shepherd said to him?"

At this time, a guard came from the darkness and bowed to Xu Shu and Jia Xu, "The governor of the state invites Chang Shi and the military adviser to come to the mansion to discuss something important."

Xu Shu and Jia Xu looked at each other, they understood each other, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Since the state shepherd has invited you, let's go!"

The two happily got into the carriage and drove towards the city under the escort of a dozen cavalrymen.

In the night, two maids carried lanterns and led Jia Xu and Xu Shu through a long corridor to Liu Jing's outer study.

Jia Xu has been thinking about Zhuge Liang's affairs. Zhuge Liang's mood was sad before he left, which made him full of curiosity. He really wanted to know what Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang talked about in the ranch.Although he guessed that it was a matter of Bashu, he couldn't figure out Liu Jing's attitude. Is Liu Jing planning to fight on both sides?

When they came to the door of the study, a guard immediately reported: "Report to Zhou Mu, Chang Shi and the military adviser are here!"

"Please come in!" Liu Jing's voice came from the room, and the voice was quite pleasant.

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. At this juncture of the war, the lord's willpower is extremely important, and it even affects the final success or failure of the war.

Liu Jing's cheerful tone made both Jia Xu and Xu Shu more confident. [

The two entered the room, and the room was brightly lit. Liu Jing was standing in front of the wall, looking at the map on the wall. He turned his head and saw the two coming in, with thoughtful eyes, and smiled, "It seems that Kong Ming didn't walk well. unhappy."

The two did not answer Liu Jing's curiosity, but stepped forward to salute, "See Zhou Mu!"

"You two, please sit down!"

Liu asked them to sit down, and ordered the maid to serve tea, then smiled at Xu Shu: "I think Yuan Zhi should have the deepest feeling, right?"

Xu Shu gave a wry smile, "Zhou Mu is right. It's an uncomfortable feeling for former friends to become strangers."

Liu smiled slightly, "Actually, Yuan Zhi doesn't need to be too sentimental. This time Zhuge Liang came here with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The pressure he endured made him feel like Yuan Zhi. When he relaxes one day, I think he must remember the past. Chinese friendship."

At this time, Jia Xu next to him asked, "Is Zhou Mu planning to start a war on both fronts at the same time?"

Liu looked at him, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not the style of a military adviser to ask such a straightforward question!"

Jia Xu blushed slightly, leaned over and smiled, "I've been thinking about this all the time, please forgive me, Zhou Mu."

"First of all, it's wrong for you to say 'plan'!"

Liu Dan smiled and said, "It's such an important decision to start a war on the two fronts. How could I make a decision without discussing it with you? However, the situation in Bashu is really urgent. If we wait until we finish fighting the east and return to Bashu, I'm afraid it will be too late." Now, it’s not necessarily a war, but Bashu must start first.”

"Why does one move first?" Jia Xu can always grasp the core.

Liu Xiao said: "We don't have that much strength in the two-front battle, but the battle with Jiangdong can't be finished in a day or two. If you focus too much on Jiangdong, you will lose West Elm and let Liu Bei seek success in Bashu, so we must also have something in the west. To act, we must seize a county seat."

Xu Shu pondered for a moment and asked, "The action mentioned by Zhou Mu refers to Wucheng County?"

"Not Wucheng County!"

Liu slowly shook his head, "To be precise, it is Zigui County. Occupying Zigui County will also block Liu Bei's army's westward advance, and Wucheng will become an isolated city. I have already handed over this matter to Li Yan. I hope he will not it disappointed me."

Hearing this, Jia Xu frowned slightly, "But in this way, will Liu Zhang suspect that we have an attempt to take over Bashu, and instead collude with Liu Bei?"

Liu nodded, "It is indeed possible, and Liu Bei has successfully persuaded Liu Zhang to cooperate with him to fight against Cao's army going south. Now that Cao Cao is retreating north, their cooperation will be temporarily suspended, but Liu Bei will definitely send Cao " Fuck, if I were to fight against Liu Xijin, I guess Liu Zhang would be persuaded."

"But why did Liu Zhang believe Liu Bei's words?" Xu Shu asked in puzzlement.

"Maybe Liu Bei is weak!"

Liu smiled and said: "It's like fighting among several people. The short and thin people are the most likely to be ignored. Liu Bei is such a short and thin person. Liu Zhang thinks that he is trying to win Bashu, so he believes him. Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, and Liu Bei have a special relationship."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Even if Liu Zhang is stupid and wise, what about the people around Liu Zhang? Zhang Song, Wu Yi, these are resourceful people, do they believe it?" [

Liu took out a letter, handed it to Jia Xu, and said, "This is a letter from Sima Yi, which tells the current situation in Bashu. Please read it first!"

Liu had read the letter written by Sima Yi several times before he realized that the internal relationship in Bashu was very complicated, involving decades of struggle between Bashu local forces and Dongzhou scholars.

Most of the Dongzhou scholars are Jingzhou scholars and Sanfu scholars. In the eyes of the Bashu scholars, Liu is the backstage of the Dongzhou scholars, so Liu’s enemies will naturally become the targets of the Bashu scholars. That’s why, Zhang Song , Wu Yi and others will support the alliance between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.

Jia Xu handed the letter to Xu Shu again, and he sighed, "It seems that capturing Bashu is more complicated than we imagined."

Liu nodded, "Although Liu Zhang is not blindly cowardly, he is indeed a capable person. With the wealth of Bashu, he has not been able to win a Hanzhong for decades. He wants to control the conflict between the Bashu gentry and Dongzhou gentry." In order to maintain his own rule, but never let the two truly submit to him, and finally face the fate of being abandoned by the Bashu gentry and the Dongzhou gentry."

Speaking of this, Liu Weiwei sighed, "Now the situation in the south has changed drastically. Both the Dongzhou gentry and the Bashu gentry have the idea of ​​​​abandoning him, but the Dongzhou gentry is biased towards me, and the Bashu gentry is biased towards Liu Bei. greatest challenge to come."

There was silence in the room, and Xu Shu asked for a while, "So Zhou Mu wants to start with Zigui."

"Exactly!"

Speaking of this, Liu straightened his waist and said to the two: "The most urgent task is to take Zigui before Zhuge Liang returns."
