Chapter 1304 Zhou Yu Appears
"Uncle, you only know that the imperial concubine is the imperial concubine of the emperor. How can you forget that she is also the daughter of the king of Wei?" Pang Tong said, seeing Zhuge Liang's distraught look, he became more and more proud: "If the imperial uncle has a close relationship with the king of Wei , What do you think Ma Chao thinks about this?"

"This?..." Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and Pang Tong's words seemed to open a window in front of Liu Bei's eyes.He suddenly understood what Pang Tong meant by self-defilement.

At first glance, if Liu Bei had a close relationship with Cao Cao, Ma Chao would definitely not like it, and would definitely cut off all possible support to Liu Bei and try his best to suppress Liu Bei.But Ma Chao's limit is only like this, Liu Bei himself already has a decisive reputation in this troubled world.If Ma Chao wants to dominate the world and even replace the Han Dynasty, then he cannot bear the infamy of killing the uncles of the old dynasty.

And in the face of Liu Bei and Cao Cao's secret communication of the song, what he will most likely do is to agree to Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan, to be out of sight and out of mind.After all, Sichuan, Shu and Yanzhou are high and far away, and Jingzhou will be cut off under Ma Chao's rule, so there will be a lot of room for change.

This method is exactly what Pang Tong said is the method of destroying one's reputation and self-defilement, and exchanging Yizhou for Jingzhou.From this point of view, it is a choice between risk and stability. Jingzhou is safe but not easily out of Ma Chao's control, while entering Yizhou may be turbulent, but the risk is extremely high. At least the Nanban rebellion must be resolved in the early stage.

Whether to go or stay is only in Liu Bei's mind.

On the surface, Liu Bei has never been a very courageous person. His eyes always reveal the sadness of the troubled times, and there is a trace of confusion.But in fact, in his bones, he is a hero who is extremely persevering and full of courage to take risks.

He is such a person who has been misunderstood and looked down upon by history. He was regarded as a person with little ability. He became the prime minister of a country at a young age, and eventually became the famous Uncle Liu Huang. Although Ma Chao was behind him to help fuel the flames, Liu Bei's own talent can also be seen.

Therefore, people in the world can laugh at Liu Bei's poverty and his downfall as a member of the Han family, but no one who is against him dares to look down on him.

Especially Ma Chao.

Liu Bei knew this very well, so he felt that in order not to disappoint Ma Chao, he had to choose to abandon Jingzhou for Yizhou.Even though the road in the middle is full of bumps, Liu Bei has never been a person who is easy to get rich.

Seeing Liu Bei's eyes gradually turn firm, Zhuge Liang became a little anxious and worried. He put down his feather fan and said, "My lord, Ma Chao is a man of martial arts and judgment, and his shadows are all over the world. If he learns about the chaos in Yizhou, he will surely You will think that the Lord has something to say. If this happens, instead of leading the army into Yizhou, the Lord will not be worth the loss, and will be trapped to death in Jingzhou by Ma Chao!"

Pang Tong stepped forward and was about to argue, but Liu Bei cut it off immediately and said to Zhuge Liang: "You don't need to talk too much, military commander. Bei has already made up his mind. A man should make contributions in a troubled world, how can he live under others? !"

"Okay..." Zhuge Liang sighed. He has sophistication beyond his age. Seeing Liu Bei's persistence, as a military adviser, he thought in his heart that he had to change his plan to divide the world.

However, just before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, there was another loud voice from the cellar, like a phoenix chiming on a jade chime: "Uncle Liu Huang is indeed a hero in the world, such sonorous words of gold and stone are like the sound of a phoenix and a broken jade, which makes people's hearts surge!"

At this moment, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could no longer tell what expressions they had on their faces. At the same time, they turned their heads to look at Pang Tong. What was strange was that Pang Tong also had a look of astonishment on his face, obviously he didn't know who was coming.Seeing this, Liu Bei put his right hand on the hilt of his sword again, ready to attack at any time.

When I was young, I heard a person holding a string ladder, walking slowly.

He is very young, only 21 years old, with long hair fluttering, as light as a cloud.Under the dim reflection of the cellar, the white clothes looked like a beautiful silhouette.It's just that this person's walking posture is a bit awkward and he is limping, which greatly damages his image.

But when this person's face finally appeared under the candlelight, Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin?!"

Among the people present, only Liu Bei knew Zhou Yu.Although Zhuge Liang participated in the war, he never showed up. He is still very unfamiliar with this person who has many stories with him in history.Although Pang Tong had heard Zhou Yu's name, it was the first time he had seen Zhou Yu in person. When he saw Zhou Yu's majestic appearance and independent demeanor, he pouted again.Only Cao Jie, who has always been ignored by others, smiled when he saw Zhou Yu, but remained silent...

"Are you still alive?" Liu Bei hadn't recovered from the shock. He couldn't imagine why this man who was as bright as a jade in Jiangdong suddenly appeared here.

"Of course I am still in the world. Ma Chao once said that the most dangerous place is always the safest place. But he never thought that it was me, Zhou Gongjin, who interpreted his words to the extreme." Zhou Yu smiled lightly and continued Simply said: "I was defeated by Ma Chao that day, and I fled to Xiangyang in despair. To avoid the pursuit of soldiers, I fled in despair and passed out on the official road. ..."

After listening to Zhou Yu's explanation, Liu Bei suddenly had an unspeakable feeling in his heart.Originally, he only wanted to have a secret meeting with Zhang Song tonight, but he never imagined that it was just a time when Mu Yang sent Zhang Song off. A current imperial concubine, Pang Tong, who made a smart decision but had no clear position, appeared in front of him, and Now, Zhou Yu, whom Ma Chao was afraid of, also appeared out of thin air.He couldn't figure out whether Ma Chao would suddenly appear in front of him the next moment?
Shaking his head, he drove the absurd thought out of his mind.Liu Bei began to hold his hand quietly on the hilt of the sword: No matter what his relationship with Ma Chao is at the moment, at least he is still in a cooperative relationship with Ma Chao now, and Zhou Yu is a complete enemy. He was thinking, Ma Chao sees After getting to Zhou Yu's head, will you feel free to hand over Jingzhou to yourself?
"Uncle Huang, you want to take my life?" Seeing Liu Bei's movements, Zhou Yu sneered, "Uncle Huang must think clearly about the situation in the world from now on. If you take the head of my Zhou Yu item today, Uncle Huang will kill himself The way, when the time comes, don’t go back on your word.”

"Stop talking nonsense!..." Liu Bei yelled loudly, but before he could continue, Cao Jie at the side finally spoke, and said leisurely: "Can't the uncle see that if the Cao family, the Sun family, and the uncle's family don't unite again? After that year, the Ma family's army will make a big move. Who will be able to beat it? Tens of thousands of people are howling and groaning under the iron hooves of the Ma family, but no one rises again and calls on the heroes to fight against Ma Chao. How many days will the emperor be safe and secure when he sits on the tripod in Yizhou?"

"What does the imperial concubine mean?..." Liu Bei understood, and so did Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. These three self-proclaimed unparalleled wits, after hearing what the woman Cao Jie said, they all fell in love with each other. She blushed slightly.

Indeed, the Ma family is the only one that dominates the Han Dynasty now, occupying all the fertile land.And with Ma Chao's irresistible commercial rumbling carriage, it will only be one year later when the Ma family has finished recuperating and its strength has greatly increased.Who can resist its banner?If he only seeks immediate small gains at this time and ignores the long-term, wouldn't Ma Chao laugh his teeth out?
"So, Gong Jin came here this time for the purpose of collusion?" Liu Bei changed his address and relaxed his grip on the hilt of his sword.

"That's right." Seeing Liu Bei's sensibility, Zhou Yu's eyes, as bright as autumn water, shone like black gems, "Out of sincerity, after returning to Jiangdong, the Sun family will also meet with His Majesty the Emperor's Uncle." Make more contacts. In this way, even if Ma Chao sees through the emperor's intentions, he has no choice but to let the emperor into Yizhou..."

After a pause, Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes revealed determination and longing: "One year later, the Cao family has regained its strength in Yan, Yu, and Xu states; The three families are allies and help each other offensively and defensively. Even if the Ma family is powerful, they dare not act rashly. What's more, as long as the three families cooperate tacitly, there is no chance of counterattacking Jingzhou. As long as Jingzhou is won, the three families can move from south to north To counterattack, even if Ma Chao has three heads and six arms, I am afraid he can only be stretched!"

"Okay!" Liu Bei agreed emphatically, and took Zhou Yu's hand.But looking at Zhou Yu's eyes, there was a divine light that only the two of them could understand: this kind of loose and sad alliance is no different from deception.But it seems that at present, there is only this way to go.

At the very least, it was Liu Bei who made the first profit, right?
