Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 314
"Uncle Ji, say it again." Liu Bei frowned.

Yi Ji swallowed his saliva and continued to repeat: "Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and attacked Jingzhou, Jiang Xia has already lost."

Liu Bei was stunned, he had already forgotten the chopsticks on the ground, this time was different from Xuchang green plum cooking wine, he didn't need to hide the shock in his heart.

"When did this happen? Who is Jiangdong's coach? Lu Zijing?" Zhuge Liang asked incredulously.

Yi Ji shook his head and said, "At the beginning of this month, Sun Quan took command in person."

Liu Bei said to himself: "Could it be because of taking a concubine?"

Zhuge Liang hastily comforted him: "My lord is just taking a concubine, Mrs. Sun is still his wife, Sun Quan will definitely not use this as an excuse, does Uncle Ji know the reason?"

"General Guan has led his warship to Dongting. He said that General Fu poisoned Zhou Yu when he was working in the army in the past, which caused the death of Governor Zhou Yu. The generals in Jiangdong were furious and demanded revenge. They also said that the battle of Chibi was unfair. Now they want to re-divide the land of Jingzhou." Yi Ji's voice became smaller and smaller.

Liu Bei was suddenly afraid of the crime, so he said excitedly, "This is absolutely impossible. Shiren and Zhou Gongjin have no grievances or enmity, so how could they be poisoned for no reason? How could Sun Zhongmou find such an unfounded reason?"

"Uh, General Fu admitted it," Yi Ji added.

The hall became quiet, and although Sun Quan's excuse was ridiculous, it couldn't stand the person admitting it.

Just when everyone was silent, there was a loud bang.

Zhang Fei threw the wine jar on the ground and was about to run out the door in a rage, but Zhao Yun stopped him in time.

"Where is Yide going?" Liu Bei asked suppressing his anger.

"I'm going to break Fu Shiren's neck. How is the second brother in charge of doing such a thing behind his back?" Zhang Fei replied angrily.

"Sit down for me, the whole story is unknown, how can I let you mess around?" Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei with a loud shout.

The calm Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "My lord's words are not bad, this matter is really strange, Yide is safe and don't be impatient, just listen to Liang's words."

Zhang Fei was like a child who made a mistake, sitting beside Zhao Yun in a well-behaved manner, listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis with everyone.

Zhuge Liang got up and asked Yi Ji: "Uncle Ji, Fu Shiren can't poison Zhou Yu for no reason, there must be a reason, do you know the inside story?"

"General Guan confronted him in the Yangtze River. Fu Shiren himself admitted that he was poisoned in wine, because Zhou Yu was unwilling to borrow him during the Battle of Chibi, but borrowed three generals to show off his prestige." Yi Ji replied in a low voice.

"Show prestige? That guy doesn't know how much he weighs?" Zhang Fei interrupted viciously.

"Third Brother, don't interrupt the military advisor." Liu Bei glared at him, and Zhang Fei remained silent.

"Is Fu Shiren dead or alive now? Where is he?" Zhuge Liang worried that Sun Quan would kill someone to silence him.

Yiji: "It is said that he has surrendered to Jiangdong. Sun Quan thought that General Fu had sacrificed Jiangxia, so he spared his life under pressure."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, indicating that his questioning was over. He turned and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "According to Liang's rough analysis, Zhou Gongjin's death must have nothing to do with Fu Shiren. After taking Yizhou, and thinking that they didn't get any benefit from their efforts at Chibi, they deliberately took advantage of Jingzhou's empty troops to sneak attack, really... hey."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, "Bei was married in Jiangdong in the past, and I heard that Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Quan take Yizhou. The words of the military adviser are very reasonable, but Jiangxia is the east gate of Jingzhou. Send Jiang Xia? This is something I can't figure out."

"Before entering Sichuan, General Guan sent him and Gan Xingba to support Ruxukou. General Fu had a relationship with Sun Quan at that time. If he would have betrayed the lord at that time," Zhuge Liang hesitated to speak.

Liu Bei shook his head hastily, "Shi Ren and Bei Feng Qi Qingping, he will never betray me"

"Liang is just stating the facts, and I don't believe that he will betray the lord." Zhuge Liang sighed.

Sun Qian, Liu Yan and others nodded in affirmation after hearing this. Fu Shiren joined Liu Bei at the same time as them. In Xuzhou, he did not wait for the Anwen army to defeat Yuan Shao and go to Runan. He never gave up on such a difficult day. How could he live a good life? Betrayed later?
While everyone was thinking, Pang Tong got up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, we and Kong Ming led troops into Sichuan one after another. General Guan can't afford it. Sun Quan's troops alone may be able to resist. If Cao Cao takes the opportunity to send troops to attack Jiangling, then Jingzhou's family members are in danger."

"My lord, I came back to report in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take away the Jingzhou family." Yi Ji said with his head bowed.

"Uncle Ji doesn't need to blame himself. Xia Houyuan is still recovering Liangzhou. Last year Cao Cao needed to rest his army in Huainan. He shouldn't have the energy to attack Jingzhou?" Liu Bei guessed.

Not to mention Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and other family members of the Jingzhou gentry, Mrs. Sun and her daughter whom she has not met are also in Jiangling. Liu Bei is very helpless at this moment.

Fazheng shook his head and said, "The news of my lord's seizure of Yizhou has been spread all over the world with the Yangtze River News. Even Sun Quan is envious. How can Cao Cao sit by and watch? There are too few troops in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao doesn't need to mobilize them on a large scale. He just needs to let Cao Ren draw Xiangyang." , Wancheng, and Runan's soldiers and horses, General Guan was attacked by the enemy in an instant, and he should send troops to support Jingzhou as soon as possible."

"Then what are you waiting for? I am willing to lead my troops to rescue my second brother." Zhang Fei got up and clasped his fists to invite Ying.

"Yun obeys orders." Zhao Yun followed suit and stood up.

"The last general is also willing to save Jingzhou." Ma Chao followed closely behind. As the newly joined military general with the highest official position, he had to stand up and express his opinion.

Liu Bei was about to say to rescue them together, Zhuge Liang hurriedly reached out his hand to stop the crowd, and said solemnly: "My lord, although Yizhou has been pacified now, the counties of Yuexuan, Zangke, and Yongchang in the south have not been attached, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong in the north is eyeing him. Soldiers and horses have been fighting for several years and need to rest, it is really inappropriate to send troops back to Jingzhou."

"Military teacher, what do you mean? I watched my second brother suffer? Our family members are still in Jiangling." Zhang Fei almost pointed his nose and scolded.

Zhuge Liang replied with a wry smile: "Don't get angry, Yide. My family is also in Jiangling. Even if we are going to rescue Jingzhou, there are not enough ships in Sichuan to transport it. It will take several months to march by land, and it is difficult to keep up with the supply of food and grass."

"Then think of a way." Zhang Fei hurriedly urged.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "Does Yide remember what I told Yun Chang? We must reject Cao Cao from the east and Sun Quan from the north, otherwise the Han Dynasty will not thrive."

"Sun Quan took the initiative to provoke, so why should we make peace? If we don't save the entire Jingzhou, it will be dangerous." Zhang Fei said angrily.

"Although Jiangxia is lost, the main force of Jingzhou is in Jiangling. It goes without saying that General Guan will use his troops. There are Lan Ziyu and Gao Boping's army in Jingnan. Sun Quan may not get much benefit. As long as Cao Cao does not send heavy troops to help, the siege of Jingzhou will be successful. There is no way to get rid of it," Zhuge Liang said meaningfully.

"Does the military division have a clever plan?" Liu Bei asked eagerly.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "For the current plan, we should send envoys to repair the alliance with Sun Quan, and let Jiangxia County be handed over to Jiangdong for the time being."
