The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 4 Let’s just run away!
As they hurried on their way, the surroundings gradually became less desolate.

Xinye, where Liu Bei was stationed, was almost approaching.

But the closer he got to Xinye, the more complicated Liu Bei's mood became.

At this time, he had already obtained Mr. Wolong, which gave him a basis for competing for the world in the future. However, the current situation was still not optimistic.

Due to the geographical location of Jingzhou, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Now, Cao Cao in particular has been eyeing this Feng Shui treasure land.

Although Liu Biao, who occupied this place, was known as one of the Eight Horses of Jiangxia and was a very talented person who managed the Jingxiang area to make it prosperous, he also had a fatal weakness, which was his lack of awareness.

If you let him manage a state, that would be great, but he is indecisive and not decisive enough. In this chaotic world, he will ultimately be a fish on the chopping board.

It was only a matter of time before Cao Cao, who was ready to take action, sent troops to Jingzhou. The Sun family, who dominated Jiangdong, would naturally not remain indifferent to this piece of fat meat in front of them.

If the entire Jingzhou group could unite to fight the enemy, now with Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei helping Liu Biao, they would have a chance to win, but Jingzhou had already fallen apart.

Today, Liu Biao's health is not as good as before, and no one knows whether it is really the end of his life or it is a conspiracy of his wife Cai.

However, the eldest son Liu Qi, who was nominally the heir, was already very unpopular.

After all, Liu Cong was Mrs. Cai's biological son.

Mrs. Cai controls Liu Biao's internal affairs, and her relative Cai Mao controls the military power outside. It can be said that in Jingzhou now, the Cai family has absolute power.

But the Cai family still advocated surrendering to Cao.

Not only is it detrimental to the defense of the entire Jingzhou, but the Cai family, who have always had a grudge against Liu Bei, is also a huge threat to Liu Bei himself.

After all, although Liu Qi always admired Liu Bei, he actually put Liu Bei himself on the fire.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, since you have found a talented person, why are you sighing?"

Zhang Fei, who was outspoken, saw Liu Bei's reaction and said with some concern.

"It's okay, but I'm a little sad about where Jingzhou will go in the future!"

Liu Bei looked far away in the direction of Xinye County and sighed.

"Alas, Liu Biao is also an old loser, his eldest son Liu Qi is also a useless piece of shit, and the Cai family is even worse! If they listened to me, Zhang Fei, I would use my Zhangba Snake Spear to poke Cao Cao ten thousand transparent holes and drive him back to the north! Jingzhou is so rich, what can't be defended!"

"Third brother..." Guan Yu hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei from talking too much, "Don't just poke holes in other people's minds. If these words are heard by the people of the Cai family, our lives will be even more difficult in the future..."

Although Zhang Fei was still angry, he thought about it and kept silent.

"What Yide said is not without reason. At this point, I still advise you to follow my advice and seize the opportunity now. Don't wait for the Cai family to become powerful in Jingzhou and directly become the lord of Jingzhou."

Zhuge Liang also hurriedly said.

Although when he offered advice to Liu Bei before, he did not force Liu Bei to violate the so-called benevolence and morality and directly seize Jingzhou from Liu Biao, but this was the best strategy in Zhuge Liang's mind.

"Alas... Jingsheng treats me very well, how can I covet Jingzhou..." Liu Bei shook his head.

"In my opinion, we don't even want Jingzhou."

Just then, Luo Yuan spoke.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him again.

Luo Yuan had come up with vicious plans so many times before that people could no longer underestimate his strategies.

"If you ask me, even if we take Jingzhou, we won't be able to hold it."

"You are looking down on me and my second brother! My second brother is invincible, how could he be afraid of that thief Cao! Besides, we have Zilong to help us, even though we are outnumbered, we can still fight that thief Cao!"

After hearing Luo Yuan's words, Zhang Fei was the first one to be dissatisfied.

"Generals Guan and Zhang are both extremely brave. As for General Zilong, although I have never met him, I have heard from my teacher that he is as brave as Lu Fengxian. But for matters on the battlefield, the bravery of one general is not enough. Let me ask General Zhang, even if we take Jingzhou, how much of its troops can we control?
Now, Liu Biao is the nominal lord of Jingzhou, but it is the Cai family who holds the real power, especially the military power is under the control of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Even if you take the seal of the governor, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to command most of the troops. It is even very likely that the Cai family will launch a mutiny, and you and I will be killed!
Think about how brave Dian Wei was in Cao's camp, but he was still buried in the chaos when Zhang Xiu rebelled! "

"According to what you said, what should we do?"

Luo Yuan's analysis touched the heart of Liu Bei.

He kept refusing to accept the Jingzhou that Liu Biao gave him. On the one hand, it was because he had always been kind and righteous, but more importantly, it was because he might not be able to take on this hot potato!

Even if he wanted Jingzhou, he had to first find a way to disintegrate the Cai family bit by bit.

But now, Cao Cao's army is about to arrive, and he may not have the time.

It would be better to hear what Luo Yuan has to say.

"If it were you, I'd say we should just go back and gather our troops, pack our bags and run away!"

Luo Yuan knew in his heart that Liu Biao would die sooner or later, and Liu Cong would take over Jingzhou sooner or later, so it was only a matter of time before Cao Cao attacked.

Rather than waiting until the time comes when there are not many troops left and the people have to flee in panic, it is better to evacuate while there is still time!
In particular, during that hasty retreat in history, not only did Mrs. Mi commit suicide by jumping into a well, but even Xu Shu, an extremely important strategist to Liu Bei, had to surrender to Cao Cao because his old mother was abducted by Cao Cao.

If he could avoid such a tragedy and directly surrender to Jiangdong, he could then more calmly fight Cao Cao at Chibi. I believe Liu Bei's situation would have been more comfortable.

But when these words came out, everyone was naturally dumbfounded.

"Gong Qi, what do you mean?"

Liu Bei was shocked. How could someone run away before the battle even started?
"It means what it says!" Luo Yuan said. "It is certain that we cannot hold Jingzhou now. Instead of waiting for Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao and then be attacked from all sides, it is better for us to take the people and our army and march eastward to Jiangdong to form an alliance with the Sun family. We still have a lot of capital in our hands, so that Sun Quan will not dare to underestimate us. After we have rested and recuperated, we will unite with Sun Quan and fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao. At that time, it will be legitimate for us to take back Jiangdong. Then, we can naturally march westward to Sichuan and complete the great cause that you have planned for me!"

After these words were spoken, everyone began to understand gradually from their initial confusion.

Even Zhuge Liang did not expect that his already very meticulous three-part plan could be so perfected in the hands of his own servant!
