Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 963 On the way to surpass Guan Zhong

In the heavy snow, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and invited Zhuge Liang out.This is a few years earlier than in later generations, but in later generations Zhuge Liang was nearly thirty years old when he was born, and this is the time when he is full of energy.

After Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang out, he often said that he was inseparable like a fish in water.Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't speak a few words.

Seeing Liu Bei treating the young Zhuge Liang like this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt unbalanced.

Immediately afterwards, news came that Liu Biao was seriously ill and bedridden.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he said to Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Shui Jing is really a god-man, and he had already figured out that Liu Biao would not be alive soon."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile: "My lord must sit high in Xiangyang, but there is only the right time, and there is no harmony without people."

"Renhe?" Liu Bei understood.

Ever since, under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei collected gifts as much as possible, and Man Jingzhou began to make connections and run connections.

If it is said that Liu Bei is the best at getting along with people, as the saying goes, this person is very loyal.He made friends with the Jingzhou gentry, and talked about his own ideas.

Because the idea discussed by Liu Bei is beneficial to the interests of the gentry, so the gentry often associate with Liu Bei and have a good relationship.

Liu Bei had no wife, so Zhuge Liang said, "Cai Mao is the leader of the Jingzhou army. He has a younger sister. If he can marry her, the lord has a family and Cai Mao's support."

According to Liu Bei's words, he found a relationship as a matchmaker.

"I don't want to marry that old guy! My future husband must be a real hero!" Even though Cai Yuan is only 15 years old, she has a childlike face, and many Jingzhou sons and brothers come to propose marriage, but she looks at him. Not eye-catching.

Cai Mao's parents have passed away, so there is only such a younger sister, she really is like a father, and she loves her very much.Since his younger sister was unwilling, he simply pushed back the marriage, "Uncle Liu Huang is too old, he is already 40 years old, so let's marry a 'right family'."

Liu Bei was very embarrassed when he heard this.

Because Liu Bei was too old, the gentry in Jingzhou were unwilling to marry their daughters to him.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang played a role, and finally let Liu Bei marry Kuai Yue's widowed wife, who was the wife of Kuai Liang who died.

Finally, Liu Bei also became a relative with the Jingzhou gentry.

Liu Bei said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "I want to marry a wife, so I can find someone for my brother."

It turns out that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't marry a wife either, because Liu Bei didn't marry a wife.

Liu Bei's wedding was very grand, and all the big families in Jingzhou came.

Three days after the marriage, Liu Bei received news that Liu Biao wanted to see him.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and said: "This must be Liu Biao's intention to give way to the lord, you can go quickly to avoid any changes."

Liu Bei was suspicious and set out on the road in a state of apprehension.

Since Qin Feng appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, various things were involved.After Liu Biao killed Kuai Liang in order to please Qin Feng, he offended the Jingzhou gentry, so he failed to marry Cai Mao's sister, so he had no youngest son Liu Cong, only Liu Qi.

Liu Biao knew very well that when the feudal lords attacked Rome, he delayed sending troops and attracted the three young men from the capital to overwhelm the border.At that time, he used Kuai Liang as a shield to kill him, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the gentry in Jingzhou.Later, in order to make Sun Ce retreat from Jiangxia, he killed Huang Zu again, and the gentry in Jingzhou had even greater opinions on him.

His son was young, and after his death, it was impossible to control the situation in Jingzhou, and on the contrary, the family was in danger of being wiped out.

Therefore, Liu Biao deliberately gave way to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei agreed to take care of his son.

The current Liu Bei is different from the one in later generations, and Liu Bei readily accepted the abdication.

Liu Biao made a will, and after his death, Liu Bei took over Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was already the heir. Under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei's five thousand troops in Xinye, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, all entered Xiangyang City.

That is, two days later, news of Liu Biao's death came out.

Liu Qi said in surprise: "My father is still fine this morning! His spirit is better than yesterday."

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and said, "This is the reflection of the light."

After Liu Biao's death, Liu Bei had a good relationship with the gentry, and he agreed to the interests of the gentry, so he got the support of the gentry in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei took over Jingzhou smoothly, collected all the civil and military affairs of Jingzhou, and his strength rose.

……

The Jingzhou sect was rampant and was often attacked by Jingzhou. Hearing the news of Liu Biao's death, many sect rebels joined forces, and an army of [-] came to rob Xiangyang for revenge.

Liu Bei summoned Guan Zhang.

Before entering the house, Zhang Fei said to Guan Yu: "Let Kong Ming go to meet the enemy."

When the two entered the room, Liu Bei asked: "Now I am in charge of Jingzhou for the first time, and there are many people who refuse to accept it. This time, the sect thieves have brought troops to attack. They want to show my brother's skills and win the hearts of Jingzhou. How can we meet the enemy?"

Zhang Fei raised his beard and said, "Brother, why don't you let 'water' go?"

"Water?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Zhi Lai Kong Ming, Yong Xu's second brother, how can we push the tune!"

Zhang Fei said: "Liu Biao intends to entrust elder brother, Jingzhou can be obtained without Zhuge Liang."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "It was Kong Ming's diplomatic means that allowed me to win the support of the nobles in Jingzhou. Liu Biao must have also heard some news, knowing that his son could not control Jingzhou, so he gave way to me. It was not easy."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would naturally behead the generals and kill the enemy for the eldest brother. After they left, Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang again.

"I'm afraid the second and third generals won't listen to my orders. My lord, if you want to march, please ask for a fake sword seal." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei handed over the sword seal to Zhuge Liang, and gathered all the generals to listen to the order.

the next day.

Zhuge Liang's easy design wiped out all the thieves and surrendered more than ten thousand.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been invincible for many years, and this time they won happily, so they admire Zhuge Liang's ability.

The thieves have harassed Jingzhou for many years, but Liu Biao has not been able to calm down. Liu Bei won a big victory when he first took charge of Jingzhou, which allowed him to consolidate his position in Jingzhou.

However, Liu Bei was not happy, and discussed with Zhuge Liang again, saying: "Although there is a foothold, after Qin Feng eliminated Cao Cao, the army did not return to the north, but continued to mobilize resources. It integrated the remaining forces of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao. In the end, the number of troops reached 30. Ma Teng in Xiliang and Sun Ce in Jiangdong are Qin Feng's allies and apprentices."

Liu Bei said anxiously: "The nearest troops are stationed in Runan, and the cavalry can reach Nanyang day and night. His next target must be my Jingzhou. Although I have more than [-] armors in Jingzhou, I have insufficient training and lack of talents. I'm running rampant, I'm new to Jingzhou, and all the families in Jingnan are dissatisfied. The four counties in the south, headed by Changsha Han Xuan, are in charge of their own affairs and don't listen to orders. If Qin Zi goes south, how can we resist?"

Although Liu Bei got Jingzhou at this moment, the pressure from Qin Feng was enormous, which made Liu Bei tremble every day and couldn't sleep well at night.

Compared to Liu Bei's panic, Zhuge Liang was very confident. This time Liu Bei won Jingzhou, he came out of the mountain with great victory, and felt that he was on the way to surpass Guan Zhong, lightly shook his feather fan and said: "My lord, don't worry, I have a plan. "
