The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 530
"Hahahahaha," Zhuge Liang laughed, "My lord, why should you be so obsessed with other people's opinions? Besides, it was Liu Zhang who made an alliance with Zhang Lu, not the lord. Now that Liu Zhang is dead, we are no longer allies with Zhang Lu, so attacking him is not considered an alliance." Go against the morality and righteousness."

Liu Bei suddenly realized: "Kong Ming is absolutely right. It is Liu Zhang who is allied with Zhang Lu, not me, Liu Bei. Well, I will leave it to you to attack Hanzhong." No wonder he has such a good relationship with Liu Bei.

"My lord, I already have a way to conquer Hanzhong. We can ask Zhang Lu to borrow the way and say that we want to send troops to attack Shangyong. Zhang Lu will definitely lend us the way, and I will lead the troops there personally," Zhuge Liang said. Looking at Li Ru, "As for condemning Li Yuan's documents, it is up to people to take responsibility."

"Okay, I'm relieved to entrust these two matters to you, but there is one more matter, who should be sent to form an alliance with Cao Cao?" Liu Bei has not yet thought of a suitable candidate.

Zhuge Liang suggested: "The person who is going to persuade Cao Cao this time must choose a person who is both wise and brave, and can speak well."

"Has there been a suitable candidate for the military adviser?" Liu Bei had just become a shepherd in Yizhou not long ago, so there were not many people around him who could use him. Except for Zhuge Liang and Li Ru, there were only two brothers, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang. Not bad resourcefulness, but after all, they were Liu Biao's old ministers, so Liu Bei still doesn't trust them very much. If they were not desperate, the two brothers would not have come to Yizhou with him to join Liu Zhang.

"That man is Fazheng, Filial and Straightforward. Fazheng is good at strategy, has great courage, and the most important thing is to be loyal to the lord, so it is most appropriate to send him there." He is inferior to his counselor, so he has maintained a good relationship with Fazheng for the past two years.

In fact, Fazheng was not optimistic about Liu Zhang at the beginning, so he highly praised Liu Bei as the Lord of Yizhou. It was because of the help of Fazheng, Zhang Song and others that Liu Bei was able to gain a firm foothold in Yizhou, so Liu Bei was able to become the Lord of Yizhou. Yizhou Mu is absolutely inseparable from the contribution of Fazheng.

"The words of the military adviser are in line with my wishes, so let Fazheng go to form an alliance with Cao Cao." Liu Bei decided to adopt Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

After discussing with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Li Ru and Liu Bei left separately. When they walked out of the door, Zhuge Liang grabbed Li Ru and said, "I have some things to discuss with you. Could you come to my house?"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, Zhuge Liang invited him for the first time, and he replied: "How can I refuse if the military adviser invites me, I will go now."

When the two came to Zhuge Liang's mansion, Zhuge Liang asked his servants to serve tea. He always kept a faint smile on his face, making people feel that he was always calm no matter what happened.

"What is the reason why the military adviser came to me?" Li Ru looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously. In fact, he was very wary of Zhuge Liang. Even he didn't know why. He felt that he couldn't hide anything in front of Zhuge Liang.

When Li Ru got along with Liu Bei in the past, he could clearly feel that Liu Bei was wary of him, but after Zhuge Liang came, he found that Liu Bei was not so wary of him. He thought the reason why Liu Bei had such a change , I'm afraid it's because Liu Bei thinks that Zhuge Liang can surely beat him, so he gradually let go of his guard against him.

"Rennei, I have wanted to tell you something for a long time, but I don't know how to say it, because I am afraid that if I say it, it will cause your dissatisfaction." Although Zhuge Liang said so, there was no embarrassment on his face.

"Although the military commander said, you and I are both ministers of the dynasty, there is nothing we cannot say between us." In fact, Li Ru had already realized what Zhuge Liang was going to say.

"Then I'll tell you," Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea, then put down his cup, looked at Li Ru with a smile, "Li Shan, does my lord know that your real identity is Li Ru?"

Although Zhuge Liang saw through his identity, Li Ru was surprisingly calm and did not feel any surprise, because in his opinion, it is very normal for Zhuge Liang to be able to see through his identity. But he still asked: "How did the military division know my true identity?"

"Hahahaha, isn't this simple? You have been with the lord for a long time, and you even proposed to use poison to murder Liu Zhang. I think Kong Rong in Beihai and Liu Biao in Jingzhou were killed by you in this way, plus your name It’s the word “people need” and together they become Confucianism. I only know one person named Li Ru in this world, and that is Li Ru, the son-in-law of Dong Zhuo in the past. It is said that Dong Zhuo relied heavily on Li Ru’s schemes in everything big or small, so it can be seen that he is a resourceful man. But since Dong Zhuo’s defeat, Li Ru has also disappeared, I guess he is either dead or incognito, until I saw you, I was not sure that he is not dead.” Zhuge Liang said his conjecture.

"The military advisor is indeed very resourceful. I am indeed Li Ru. The reason why I kept my name anonymously is because I am the son-in-law of Dong Zhuo. If someone finds out my identity, I may be killed. Therefore, I ask the military advisor to help me keep this secret." Li Ru Frankly speaking, he knew that it was useless to lie in front of Zhuge Liang.

"You can rest assured that I will not reveal your identity, but does my lord know your identity?" Zhuge Liang did not let go of this question.

Li Ru hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "My lord knows about it, but my lord's two virtuous brothers don't."

"The lord really knows your identity, that's fine. It's not a good thing to hide something from the lord." In fact, Zhuge Liang had already guessed that Liu Bei knew Li Ru's true identity. The reason why he asked this question just now was to test whether Li Ru Be honest with him, if Li Ru lied to him, he would definitely find a way to get rid of Li Ru in the future, but Li Ru didn't know that Zhuge Liang would have such thoughts.

"Master, can I also ask you a question?"

"Tell me." Zhuge Liang was not stingy, and asked Li Ru to ask.

"I heard that you once studied at Lumen Academy, and Li Yuan also invited you to become an official. Several of your friends have followed Li Yuan. Why didn't you choose Li Yuan, who has a better chance of dominating the world, instead choose the lord?" Li Ru If these words were heard by Liu Bei, Liu Bei would definitely be dissatisfied, but he knew that Zhuge Liang would definitely not say it, so he asked with confidence.

Zhuge Liang smiled while waving his goose feather fan: "If all the talented people in this world work for Li Yuan, what's the point of me following him? Only when I fight against such a powerful person as Li Yuan can I feel the fun, so I I did not choose him, nor did I choose Cao Cao, who is no less powerful than Li Yuan."

"At that time, there was Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Ma Teng in Xiliang and Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Why did you choose the weakest lord?" Li Ru really couldn't understand Zhuge Liang's thoughts. The reason why he followed Liu Bei was that he had no choice , but there are many people Zhuge Liang can choose from.
