I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei directly ignored the words of his confidant. He looked around for a week, waiting for the opinions of others.

But no one has made a sound, and Cao Cao's request is too much in their opinion.Liu Bei agreed without any face.Everyone dared not agree, lest in the future Liu Bei would trouble them if he remembered things for a few days.

Many people's eyes turned to Zhuge Liang, and everyone hoped that Zhuge Liang would come out and speak.Zhuge Liang's ability has convinced everyone, and everyone thinks that Zhuge Liang has a way.

"Kong Ming, talk about it."

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, and focused on Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was also very straightforward. He followed the public opinion and named Zhuge Liang and asked him to express his views.

"Master, please allow your subordinates to ask a question." Zhuge Liang said.

"But it doesn't matter."

"What is the important thing that the lord will do next?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help asking.

"Feng Wang?" Liu Bei asked.

"No, but..." Zhuge Liang pointed to the west.

"Yizhou!" Liu Bei understood immediately.

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang said: "The next thing the lord has to do is to capture Yizhou, and the king is also to capture Yizhou."

"This Bei knows, but what does it have to do with Cao Cao's request?" Liu Bei couldn't help asking.

"If the lord's power is still in the Xinye area, does the lord think that Cao Cao will be wary of the lord?"

Zhuge Liang spoke out, but he continued without waiting for Liu Bei to answer: "If the lord withdraws from the Xinye area and withdraws his forces to the south of the Han River, it can reduce Cao Cao's vigilance against the lord."

"what do you mean......"

Liu Bei understood, and everyone present understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Hand over Xinye and other places, withdraw the forces to the south of the Han River, show weakness to Cao Cao, dispel Cao Cao's vigilance, and concentrate their forces to capture Yizhou. The subordinates think that Bo Ji is also out of this idea. Without asking the lord for instructions, Hui promised to hand over the area north of the Han River to Cao Cao."

"My lord, compared to Yizhou, the loss of a dozen cities and tens of thousands of people is worth it."

Zhuge Liang continued: "To be crowned king can further enhance the prestige of the lord and make the soldiers under his command more loyal."

"My lord, what the strategist said is good."

When Jian Yong spoke up, others also spoke up, saying that Zhuge Liang was right.

Liu Bei fell silent and did not speak.He had actually planned to give up the Xinye side just now, but he was just a little unwilling.

However, after such an analysis by Zhuge Liang, the unwillingness in his heart disappeared.

He nodded, and then he asked another question: "What if Cao Cao sent troops to Yizhou while Bei was preparing to attack this king from behind?" ..

2568 Analysis of Zhuge Liang

"My subordinates think that Cao Cao will not."

Zhuge Liang said, "It can be seen from the letter from Uncle Ji that Cao Cao has already planned to win over the lord and Sun Quan. He hopes to win over the lord and Sun Quan to deal with the one in the north together."

"Besides, even if he kills him, will it be possible that the lord will not leave behind to deal with him?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The lord has General Zhu, General Ji and other generals under his command, why should you be afraid of Cao Cao's attack?"

Liu Bei nodded, and Zhuge Liang said that his heart was gone.

Yizhou is the top priority. If he cannot capture Yizhou, he will lose the qualification to compete with others in the future.

It is no exaggeration that Jingzhou is the center of the world, but there is no danger to defend, and the rear strategic scope is not enough.

Once Xiangyang is taken down, Jiangling, Jiangxia and other places can't stand it at all. At that time, they can only go to Guiyang, Lingling and other places to play with Wuxi barbarians. If it really reaches that point, he can only be regarded as a small prince, and he is not qualified. Race to the world.

"But Cao Cao wants to send someone to reinforce Cao Ren and help Cao Ren deal with Zhang He, what is this?" Liu Bei said dissatisfiedly.

"Bei can recognize his position as King Wei, and he can take the lead from his horse. He can also surrender Xinye and other cities and return to Xiangyang. But it doesn't mean that Bei is willing to follow him to deal with Liu Zhe immediately." Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with this.

Liu Zhe's strength is known to Liu Bei, and he has deep jealousy at the same time.

He didn't dare to provoke Liu Zhe until he had to, so that Liu Zhe's attention would not turn to him. He knew that he couldn't be compared with Liu Zhe. If Liu Zhe was really cruel to deal with him, he would be really in trouble.

Therefore, Liu Bei also admitted that Cao Cao was the eldest brother, and he could form an alliance with Cao Cao, or he could agree to join forces with Cao Cao and deal with Liu Zhe together in the future.

But that is in the future, he doesn't want to face Liu Zhe now.

In Liu Bei's view, Liu Zhe was too scary, too scary to provoke him.

"I didn't even give Bei the title of king, so I just wanted to drag Bei into the water. Do you really think Bei is an idiot?" Liu Bei scolded and greeted Cao Cao's family in his heart.

"Master, don't you want to meet Liu Zhe?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Yes."

Liu Bei said, "Although I don't want to admit it, he is far stronger than Bei, and Bei doesn't want to offend him so quickly."

Everyone here is his confidant, so Liu Bei did not hide his fear and dissatisfaction with Liu Zhe.

"If you don't do this, and Cao Cao doesn't agree to support the lord to be crowned king, what should we do?" Jian Yong asked.

Liu Bei was silent, he was depressed.
