I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Guo Jia smiled and said, "King Yan is not an overlord either."

Guo Jia's words made Zhuge Liang's expression a little more serious.

If Liu Zhe was the overlord Xiang Yu, Zhuge Liang would not be afraid.

But Liu Zhe is not the overlord Xiang Yu.

If Liu Bei wanted to defeat Liu Zhe like his ancestor Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, it would not work.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's expression was a little serious, and after becoming silent, Guo Jia smiled again, "Now King Yan is only leading a small army of troops and horses under his command, and the king of Chu has been unable to resist. , I don't know how long the King of Chu can resist?"

When Guo Jia said this, although his tone was very flat, it made Zhuge Liang silent, because Guo Jia was telling the truth.

Zhuge Liang couldn't refute Guo Jia's words, and even Ma Su, who had always been resentful, didn't know how to speak out.

Liu Zhe's strength is too strong. As Guo Jia said, Liu Zhe brought only a small part of the soldiers and horses this time, and he brought soldiers and horses from Hanzhong, not all of Liu Zhe's soldiers and horses.

Although Hanzhong is a special county, it still does not change the fact that Liu Zhe did not do his best.

At the beginning, Zhang Liao brought [-] soldiers and horses, and until now, the number of soldiers and horses on both sides is about the same.But this result made Liu Bei and his generals and strategists want to cry.

For Liu Zhe, the current army is only a very small part.

But for Liu Bei, the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's hands are already all of Yizhou's soldiers and horses and some of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.

It can be said that Liu Bei's soldiers here have been wiped out, and Liu Bei's generals have no soldiers available. It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Bei has become a bachelor commander.

However, Zhuge Liang was worthy of being Zhuge Liang, he was silent for a moment, and then he quickly responded. ..

3140, Zhuge Liang's discoloration

"For the people who support the King of Chu, the soldiers and horses that the King of Chu currently has are only a small number of soldiers and horses. Even if the King of Chu is exhausted here, as long as the people of Jingzhou and Yizhou support the King of Chu, there will still be countless soldiers and horses. Our soldiers can serve the King of Chu."

Even if Liu Zhe knew the number of soldiers under Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang would not admit that Liu Bei's current soldiers were so small.

What he meant in his words was to tell Liu Zhe that Liu Bei had the hearts of the people, even if he failed here and eliminated the soldiers in his hands.

But as long as Liu Bei has the support of the people and the population of Jingzhou and Yizhou, Liu Bei can still recruit troops and horses continuously.

"I wonder how long King Yan can fight King Chu here?"

Zhuge Liang said, "Has everything been arranged for King Yan?"

Zhuge Liang's implication is obvious, that is, Liu Zhe is far away from his base camp. He is playing against Liu Bei here. Isn't he worried about the safety of the base camp?

"Are you trying to talk about the people's hearts of the King of Chu?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "After you did that in Chengdu, how many people in Yizhou do you think believed the King of Chu?"

Before Zhuge Liang could say anything, Guo Jia said again, "If the King of Chu will forcefully levy grain and grass and rob the people of their last rations, how much do you think the people of Yizhou still have for the King of Chu?"

This time, Zhuge Liang's expression finally changed.

Indeed, as Guo Jia said, after Zhuge Liang slaughtered a group of people in Chengdu, he had long frightened the courage of many people.

If Liu Bei was given time to appease others with Huairou's means, Liu Bei's ruling foundation would be stable.

But now that Liu Zhe is here, Liu Bei has no time to appease the others.

Now it seems that the remaining people are loyal to Liu Bei, but Zhuge Liang knows that they are afraid of their own butcher knife and have no choice but to express their loyalty to Liu Bei.

Once the limelight is not right, those people will be the first to rebel against Liu Bei.

As for the issue of food and grass, this is also the reason why Zhuge Liang had to come to Fucheng and to see Liu Zhe.

The issue of food and grass is directly related to Liu Bei's survival in Yizhou. If it continues, the people of Yizhou will definitely be forced to rebel. At that time, Liu Bei had to withdraw from Yizhou and hand over Yizhou to Liu Zhe.

After Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, he slowly opened his mouth under the nervous watch of Ma Su next to him.

"This is also the reason why the King of Chu sent down to see King Yan." Zhuge Liang said.

"is it?"

Guo Jia smiled and prepared to continue to attack Zhuge Liang.

But at this time Liu Zhe spoke up, and he asked Zhuge Liang, "Is the king of Chu ready to let this king retreat?"

"This king knows why you are here, sir."

Liu Zhe said, "It's just that Liu Bei can't hold on anymore, right? So sir, are you here to persuade this king to retreat?"

"It's not that I can't stand it."

Of course, Zhuge Liang would not admit it, and Liu Bei had not reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted. He said to Liu Zhe, "King Yan is an outstanding person in the world, and you should know that if this continues, whether it is for the King of Yan or the King of Chu, it is not the best of both worlds. Things. If the two sides continue to fight here, it will only allow others to take advantage of the fisherman."

"No one can take advantage of this king." Liu Zhe said lightly.

Although it was said lightly, there was a strong domineering tone in his tone.

"Don't King Yan worry about King Wei?"

Zhuge Liang moved Cao Cao out, and he said, "Once King Wei sends troops, King Yan's way home may be cut off."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Zhe smiled unchanged and said, "Don't worry."

The expression and tone of voice seemed very indifferent. It seemed that Cao Cao was not a prince with a major threat, but a weak scholar who was powerless.

Zhuge Liang didn't expect Liu Zhe's answer. In Zhuge Liang's view, even if Liu Zhe didn't take Cao Cao seriously, he should still be so indifferent.
