Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 670 What do you think
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, accompanied by Xun Chen, Zhou Cang and Zhou Xin visited the folks in Yecheng to express condolences to the people.

"Uncle, Dudu Xu and Zhang sent someone to invite you, please return to the Dudu's mansion to discuss matters." Dianman reported.

Xu Shu and Zhang Jai should know what they are doing. It must be a big deal to invite them suddenly. Zhou Cang and Xun Chen rushed back to the Northern Army Governor's Mansion in an emergency.

"My lord, something serious happened." Xu Shu was a little anxious. "The spies reported that Sun Quan had captured Jingzhou. After capturing Guan Yu alive, he beheaded him and gave the head to Cao Cao. A few days ago, Cao Cao was buried with the honor of a county marquis, and his posthumous title was Zhuang Miao."

Guan Yu's ending was consistent with history in the end. Zhou Cang sighed, but suddenly shuddered. According to the novel, he should be trapped in Maicheng with Guan Yu, and then commit suicide...

"Wu Bu Sui is called Zhuang, and name and reality are called Miao. Although it is not good, it is not a bad posthumous posthumous title." Xun Chen smiled slightly.On the whole, it means that Guan Yu has the ability to lead the army, but he has not shown it, and some of his names do not match the reality.

"Why did Sun Quan want to kill Guan Yu? Is it just out of personal anger?" Duanmuling was a little puzzled, Sun Quan must be too petty.

Xun Chen chuckled: "Although Guan Yunchang is brave, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei can't tolerate him, so how can he not die?"

Everyone looked at Xun Chen in unison. Cao Cao and Sun Quan couldn't tolerate Guan Yu, which is understandable. Why is Liu Bei still there?
"Headstrong, arrogant, overbearing, dissatisfied with civil and military affairs." Xun Chen only spoke sixteen words.

Duanmuling suddenly realized that Guan Yu had provoked public anger, and Liu Bei didn't listen to what he said, no one could control him.If you think about it, it is rumored that Ma Chao has joined Liu Bei, and Guan Yu is about to enter Sichuan to compete with Ma Chao. It can be understood as a competition of martial arts, and it can also be understood that Guan Yu is worried that Ma Chao will replace him as Liu Bei's number one general. Guan Yu dispelled this idea, the key is that Ma Chao was not reused.It's okay for Zhuge Liang to coax him once, but how can he be pampered all the time? According to Cao Cao's order, he ignored the wind and caused great disasters sooner or later.While Liu Bei is alive, Guan Yu has nothing to restrain himself. What if Liu Bei is gone?
Zhou Cang didn't expect Xun Chen to see it so thoroughly.Now there is no objection to the cause of Guan Yu's death, and the consequences caused by it need to be studied. "Cao Cao did not take Jingzhou, presumably because he wanted to sit back and watch Liu Bei and Sun Quan fight. What do you think?"

"I have been discussing with Yuan Zhi for a long time, but there has been no conclusion. One is whether Liu Bei will continue to attack Hanzhong or return to attack Jingzhou; the other is whether Cao Cao will not take Jingzhou to wait and see the battle between Sun and Liu, whether he will plan to merge the state and Shouchun. " Zhang Jaw said.

Speaking of Liu Bei, besides Zhou Cang, Xu Shu has the most say. "Liu Guan and Zhang Yi married Jinlan, swore to live and die together, everyone in the world knows..."

Zhou Cang was embarrassed to interrupt because of Xu Shu's face?Swear to live and die together?Just kidding, Liu Bei was defeated in Xuzhou and fled alone to vote for Yuan Shao. Have you ever thought about closing Zhang?In Dangyang, if you don't even care about your wife and children, how can you care about others?But then again, at that time Liu Bei was at the end of the road, his reputation could not be given up, and his own life was the most important thing, but now it is different, Liu Bei, who is strong and strong, should start to care about his reputation.Alas, what reputation does Liu Bei still have for occupying Yizhou by clever means?
Xu Shu went on to say: "For the sake of brotherhood, I expect that Liu Bei will definitely advocate revenge for Guan Yu, but Kong Ming and others will definitely try their best to stop it, so the result is unpredictable."

In order to save his reputation, whether it is true or not, Liu Bei will definitely show that he wants to avenge Guan Yu. Zhang Fei must also be a supporter. Maybe the original Jingzhou people will also support Liu Bei to fight back to Jingzhou.But Zhuge Liang, who is very politically minded and ambitious, would not agree, nor would the civil and military in Yizhou.

Zhou Cang suddenly remembered what Zhuge Liang once said: If Fa Xiaozhi exists, he will be able to dissuade Liu Bei.Why is this?No matter how good Fazheng's eloquence is, it is not necessarily better than Zhuge Liang. Could it be that Liu Bei's eloquence is more trusted by Fazheng?Since coming to the Three Kingdoms, many of Zhou Cang's cognitions have been subverted. Take Zhuge Liang as an example, Liu Bei is definitely not so trusting and obedient.Liu Bei may not be ignorant of Fazheng's vengeance. On the contrary, he condoned Fazheng. This just shows that Fazheng does not fight for power and does not form cliques.Zhuge Liang seemed to want to stand out everywhere, and even issued orders instead of Liu Bei. Not only that, Zhuge Liang also tightly wrapped the Jingzhou Group around him, Ma Liang and Ma Su brothers, Dong and Dong Yun's father and son, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, etc. Harmony of the Jingzhou Group.

How can Fazheng dissuade Liu Bei?Zhou Cang came up with an idea. After Zhang Song died, Fazheng became the leader of the Yizhou Group. Liu Bei naturally had to weigh what the leader said.After Fazheng's death, Meng Da voted for Cao Pi, and the Yizhou Group was hit and lost the speaker for a while, and the Jingzhou Group had the upper hand, so they would naturally support Liu Bei to send troops.The final destruction of Western Shu may have a lot to do with it.

Zhou Cang lost his mind, and coughed lightly with his jaw open, interrupting Zhou Cang's train of thought. "I don't know what the lord thinks?"

Re-reasoning his thinking, Zhou Cang said: "When Guan Yu was killed, Liu Bei had no more than three responses: one is to continue to send troops to Hanzhong; the other is to return to attack Jingzhou; the third is to temporarily truce and recruit troops to exercise strength. All three are possible. You can only plan for the worst."

The so-called worst plan is that Liu Bei stands still to respond to all changes, and the best result is that Liu Bei goes to Hanzhong.Since Liu Bei is not moving, then Cao Cao will move.

"I was just worried that Cao Cao wanted to seize Bingzhou, so I transferred Junyi to garrison. You Yuanzhi is in Jizhou for help, and Bingzhou can be protected without any hindrance." Zhou Cang paused, "I am worried about the Huns and Xianbei. These two places are pinched from north to south."

Xu Shu said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult. Liu Bao will not be my enemy until he has established a firm foothold when he sets out to fight against Danhan Mountain. What's more, he still has hundreds of thousands of people detained in Bingzhou. I just need to delay it for a while." When the time comes, Liu Bao will not dare to act rashly."

Duanmu Ling interjected: "As for Tuoba Liwei, this man is very powerful and ambitious, and he is not a person who is greedy for small profits. It is not so easy for Cao Cao to persuade him. Murong Department and Yuwen Department, Liu Bao is there There’s a lot of trouble there, so there’s no reason to go south, and it’s too late to ask us for help.”

"So, Cao Cao will push his idea to Shouchun?"

Xu Shu and Zhang Jai looked at each other, "As long as Liu Bei doesn't come out of Hanzhong, Cao Cao will plan for Shouchun."

After talking about it, it came to Liu Bei again.

"Should I send someone to tell General Gongming to break out immediately?" Duanmuling asked.

"No." Zhou Cang, Xu Shu, and Zhang Jai said almost simultaneously.Opening his jaw and cupping his hands: "Although Gongming is dangerous, he is fine right now."

Xu Shu sneered: "If Cao Cao sends troops, he must be ready for a decisive battle with me!"

"Well, did Yuan Zhi think that Shouchun would be the place where I will fight Cao Cao?"
