The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 610: Zhuge's Conspiracy
A few days later, a shocking event happened in Changli, the governor of Liaodong.

Li Ru, who has been dormant in Liaodong, colluded with Xianbei, the restless elements among the people who migrated from the Southern Huns, and joined forces with Suotou, the most powerful grassland force in the northern part of the country, to conquer Changli City, the seat of Liaodong County, and regain its people. He adopted the slogan of "Following the order to suppress the thieves", and erected a banner with the character "Han" on Changli City, making it clear that he wanted to fight against Yuan Shang.

The news quickly spread throughout the states and counties, all the princes, scholars, and common people all over the world looked sideways, waiting to watch this second attack on Yuan Shang's territory after the Yan Xing Rebellion on Yuan Shang's northeast border Great chaos.

Sun Quan was the first to get the news. After learning that Yuan Shang's important rear town was conquered by Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei's rebels, Sun Quan was overjoyed. Liaodong is the hinterland of Yuan Shang's northeast important town. Tuoba Liwei and Li Ru conquer, once they move their troops to the west, and their soldiers point directly at Yecheng in Jizhou, the harm in that will be much greater than Yan Xingzhi's chaos. At that time, Yuan Shang must retreat for the base camp, and now Xuchang Xinding , Zhongzhou is unstable, if Yuan Shang returns to the army to quell the chaos, Soochow can immediately go north, or send troops to Xuzhou, or send troops to Huainan, and then the territory can be greatly expanded, pointing the edge of Soochow soldiers into the Central Plains.

The second person to get the news was Guan Yu, the Tiger General of Jingzhou!

Guan Yu sits in Jingxiang, where the dragons and tigers are entrenched, recharging their energy and recharging their energy. No one in the world dares to underestimate his power. Now that he has received the news of the Liaodong Rebellion, Guan Yu who is sitting in Xiangyang is ready to move. He is also at this moment. Wait, wait, once Yuan Shang returns to Hebei, he will go north immediately!Guan Yu's goal and appetite are even bigger than Sun Quan's. He has only one goal, and that is to send troops to take Xuchang in one fell swoop!Capture the land of the Central Plains and drive Yuan Shang back to Hebei!

The third to get the news was Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang of Xichuan.

Compared to Guan Yu and Sun Quan's eagerness to move, Zhuge Liang was obviously much calmer...

Xichuan, Chengdu, Liu Bei's residence.

Liu Bei's current mansion is Liu Zhang's former residence. Since Liu Zhang built the prefect's mansion in Chengdu to the utmost luxury, after Liu Bei occupied Xichuan, he did not rebuild the house. He just picked up what Liu Zhang left to live in. , not greedy for imaginary things, but quite a kingly demeanor.

Today's Liu Bei has never dealt with official duties, but is just wearing a purple robe. He watched the koi carp in the pond by the mansion for more than an hour. Those who didn't know thought Liu Bei liked fish, but those who knew Liu Bei Everyone knows that Xuande Gong's heart is not in this pond at the moment.

It wasn't until the subordinates came to report that Zhuge's military master came to see him that Liu Bei recovered from his contemplation, and then hurriedly announced Zhuge Liang to come in to see him.

When I was young, I saw a feather fan and a scarf, and Kong Ming, with a calm face like a fairy, came to the pond.

With a slight salute to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "My lord is so engrossed in watching the fish, what a pleasure to have in leisure time?"

Liu Bei laughed, waved his hands, and said, "Sir, don't cancel me! It's not true that I'm watching fish here, but it's true that I'm worried."

Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan, walked slowly to Liu Bei's side, and said: "Come to Dading in the middle of Sichuan, the counties are fine, it's a good day for our army to be at ease, my lord, why are you so worried?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei sighed, "Military Master, why did you ask the question...The land of Liaodong was jointly captured by the traitor Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei, the lord of the prairie. Chaos broke out in the rear of Yuan Shang's Hebei land. How could Bei not feel uneasy? ?”

Zhuge smiled slightly and said, "What does the chaos in Yuan Shang's rear have to do with the lord?"

"Haha, you!" Liu Bei shook his finger and said, "Now Yuan Shang has conquered Xuchang, subdued Cao Zhi, pacified the Central Plains, unified North China, and his power has greatly increased! It happened that such a big mess happened, and he must have been very angry... Prepared to consider, if Yuan Shang returns to Hebei, should he issue a military order to Yun Chang, let him send his troops to the north, take advantage of the Central Plains' initial determination, and the hearts of the people Take Xuchang in one fell swoop without surrendering! Zhe puts Yuan Shang's edge and expands our army's power!"
Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan and sighed while shaking: "My lord really wants to issue this military order to Yun Chang?"

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Isn't this a great opportunity?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said: "On the surface, it is so. In the eyes of the world, the Liaodong Rebellion may involve most of Yuan Shang's energy. When Liang first got the news, he was really excited for a long time, but carefully Thinking about it, I always feel that there is something wrong with it.”

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard the words, and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang heaved a long sigh, and said: "I'm afraid that Liang is the only person in the world who can see this inappropriateness, but when you think about it carefully, this is really not an inappropriateness, but Liang always feels that there is something wrong with it. .”

Liu Bei was very modest: "What's wrong, please advise the military advisor?"

"My lord, don't you think that Li Ru joined forces with Tuoba Liwei to conquer Liaodong, no matter what their purpose is, isn't it a bit too easy? After all, Liaodong is Yuan Shang's northeast border, even if Li Ru is scheming, even Tuo Ba Liwei is the lord of the grassland, but he broke Yuan Shang's layout on the border so easily... Isn't it a bit smooth?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"The military division is overthinking. It might be the case before. But at this moment, the main force of Yuan Jun's central army has just conquered the Central Plains and has not yet returned to the division. It is reasonable that the troops in Hebei are insufficient to defend."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Perhaps Hebei's defense force is insufficient, but Tian Yu, the prefect of Liaodong, is not comparable to ordinary people! Although his reputation is not as good as Tian and Ju, he can be known from the way he has governed Liaodong over the years. Their talents are not under Tian Feng, Ju Shou and other famous people, and these people have lost the important town so quickly, others may not feel it, but Liang always feels that there is a difference."

Liu Bei blinked when he heard the words, and said: "You mean... Yuan Shang is using his own territory to lose the layout? This... this is too nonsense! Impossible, absolutely impossible! You can’t be cruel to make such a decision!”

Zhuge Liang heard the words and sighed: "A person may not be able to make such a determination, but if someone supports him, it will be completely different...My lord, do you know that in Yuan Shang's army, besides Yuan Shang, Liang is the most important person?" Who is the guard?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, and said, "Besides Yuan Shang, the people who can be valued by the military adviser must be Tian Feng and Ju Shou!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Otherwise, in fact, apart from Yuan Shang, among Yuan Jun, the one who worries Liang the most is Sima Yi! Since this person joined Yuan Jun, although his performance has been lacklustre, the two of them are outstanding. , or was concealed by Yuan Shang's meritorious deeds, but Liang discovered that this Sima Yi, among Yuan Jun, was the most able to cater to Yuan Shang's thinking and cooperate with Yuan Shang's tricks! Most of Yuan Shang's strategies sometimes did not He won't get the understanding and support of other people, but only Sima Yi can perfectly cooperate with him! Everyone thinks that Sima Yi's current status is due to his personal education with Yuan Shang. But he can always hide in it, under Yuan Shang's light without showing the mountains or dew, this person's ability is not inferior to Yuan Shang."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused, and said: "If Yuan Shang used Liaodong's safety as a design, he might not be able to make up his mind, but if Sima Yi supported him by the side, with their vicious hearts complementing each other, he might not be able to do it. Let this shocking event happen!"

Liu Bei was startled when he heard this, and said: "But...but what is his purpose for doing this? Besides, if no one else mentions it, Li Ru and Yuan Shang have a sworn feud! Could he be used by Yuan Shang?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "To be honest, these are all guesses by Liang. They are all based on his own conjectures, and there is no evidence. As for whether Li Ru will be used by Yuan Shang, Liang dare not speak nonsense. Yuan Shang used Liaodong as a bait to target whom? , Liang is not sure, it may be the lord, it may be Sun Quan, or it may be General Guan..."

"Are you making your own assumptions?" Liu Bei smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "Military Master, is it possible that your own assumptions will ruin our good chance of capturing Xuchang and capturing the Central Plains?"

Zhuge let out a long sigh, and said: "My lord, Liang advises you to be more careful... It is best not to act lightly before you really want to surface... After all, it has not been a few years since the Yan Xingzhi Rebellion, and Yuan Shang received so much money back then. A big setback, don't you still have a face to allow such a heinous disaster to happen in your rear?"

"This..." Liu Bei hesitated when he heard the words, his eyes flickering and flickering.

Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's hesitation, thought about it carefully, and let Liu Bei give up this opportunity based on his own guess, but he always felt in his heart that the chaos in Liaodong was either Yuan Shang or Sima Yi's tricks, and it would be a ploy to send troops rashly. big.Immediately there was another dissuasion, finally blocking Liu Bei's intention to let Guan Yu enter the army.

In desperation, Liu Bei finally agreed to Zhuge Liang and stood still for the time being.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhuge Liang left, but not long after he left, Pang Tong came to see him in a hurry.

Just after meeting, Pang Tong saluted, opened his mouth and said: "My lord, there is chaos in Liaodong, Yuan Shang's rear is not stable, and the Central Plains has not yet been fully ruled by Yuan Shang, this is a good opportunity for Guan Yu to enter the army, what are you waiting for, my lord? "

Seeing Pang Tong's eagerness to speak, Liu Bei smiled helplessly, and then said everything Zhuge Liang had said to him.

It would be good if Pang Tong didn't listen, but when he heard it, he almost fainted out of breath.

"My lord, Kong Ming is misleading! It's okay if what he said is well-founded, but the problem is that these are just his own guesses. Is it possible that from now on, whenever there is a chance of fighting, as long as someone guesses, the lord will Have you stopped fighting?"
