The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 270 Three years later
The 12th year of Jian'an, 207 AD.

It has been three years since the battle of suppressing the barbarians and Xianbei tribes and killing Gongsundu and Gongsunkang in Liaodong. In these three years, the land of the Central Plains, which has always been chaotic and complicated, has entered a rare state of silence, and all forces are at peace. There are few frictions, and they live a peaceful life. The fiery land that has been separated due to wars for many years has finally fallen into a long-term peace and tranquility.

The Nanyang Frontier Fortress in the land of Jingchu is actually a place surrounded by mountains and reflecting water. The handsome mountains are rolling up and down, and there are many precipitous and steep peaks. The main peaks everywhere are even more high and steep. But at the foot of the mountain, there is a cavernous cave. There are thousands of houses everywhere, green pines and cypresses, waterfalls and flowing springs, like a fairyland on earth.

This is not another place, but it is called Wollongong.

But at this moment, outside a thatched hut leading to the south of Wollongong, there are clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland.Outside the bamboo house is a large flower garden with various rare and exotic trees.A dozen steps away from the bamboo house is a small pond with crystal clear water. A pair of snow-white cranes are resting leisurely on the blue waves.

Three figures were standing outside the bamboo house, and the leader, a middle-aged man in purple clothes, was asking the boy guarding the gate with a kind smile on his face.

But seeing that the boy was not very old, he looked at the middle-aged man in purple with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Liu Shijun, you came to look for my husband again? This is the third time!"

Liu Bei replied courteously: "Life is poor, fortune is rare, and I have traveled three times without seeing the face of a sage. I just don't know Mr. Wolong, are you here today?"

The little boy nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It's a coincidence that the gentleman came today. My husband just came back yesterday. He was tired and was lying in the thatched cottage. If you want to see him, you might as well wait for me to wake him up later." gentlemen."

Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly raised his hand to stop the boy, and said softly, "No, just let the master sleep peacefully."

Hearing this, the little boy obeyed, and Liu Bei stood under the bed, waiting quietly and obediently. Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him really couldn't stand it any longer, Zhang Fei even tried to burn down the hut, but both It was stopped by Liu Bei one by one.

When I was young, I finally heard a loud and bright song of waking up from the thatched hut. The singing sound was loud, and it contained a sense of spring breeze and a very heroic spirit.

"Who is the first to wake up to a big dream? I know it all my life. The Caotang is full of sleep in spring, and the sun is getting late outside the window."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was immediately invigorated, and hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and looked at the door of the thatched cottage seriously. After a while, he heard a sparse sound, and saw a hand-operated feather fan, wearing a hairpin crown and a crane cloak, shaking a feather fan, The face is like a crown jade, walking out at leisure.

"Nanyang savages are lazy by nature. Tired of waiting here for a long time, the general is ashamed, ashamed." Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized when he saw Liu Bei. Of course, he quickly got Liu Bei's understanding and comfort.

The two exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then entered the hut, but saw that the hut was about a few feet in radius, and the decoration was very simple, but it was also tidy.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei sat across the table, poured tea, and then there was some politeness, Liu Bei said that Zhuge Liang was Sima Decao, an expert recommended by Xu Yuanzhi, he had good ideas in his chest, please ask for advice.

Zhuge Liang was naturally modest, but in the end he still couldn't resist Liu Bei's gracious persuasion, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Since the envoy trusts you so much, Liang will try to make a plan for the public."

Liu Bei hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Zhuge Liang raised his hand and took out a picture map from behind, pointed to the area above, and immediately began to analyze the general situation of the world for Liu Bei.

"In today's world, can" since Dong Zhuo has come, heroes have risen side by side, and there are countless people who cross states and counties.Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is less famous and less numerous.However, Cao Cao was able to restrain Shao, and the weak became the strong. "

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, and said again: "After Shao died, his son Yuan Shang was in power. Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shang is incomparable. However, Shang can finally inherit his foundation in Hebei and be equal to Cao Cao. People's schemes benefit from power schemes."

"Since the battle of Liaodong three years ago, both Yuan and Cao, one in the south and the other in the north, have not fought for many years, and each has recuperated and recuperated. This is not without fighting, but waiting for a good opportunity. Now both sides have ceased fighting for many years. The soldiers are rich in food and grass. The time to compete for food is not far away."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, "Then according to Mr.'s intention, how should we do it under such an opportunity?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, and continued: "Don't be anxious, sir, just wait and listen. Now that Yuan and Cao are fighting each other in the north, each of them has great power. It is impossible to compete with each other. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations, and the country is in danger. The people are rich, and the virtuous and capable can be used for it. This can be used for aid but not for the purpose. Jingzhou occupies the Han and Mian in the north, benefits the South China Sea, connects Wuhui in the east, and connects Bashu in the west. Heaven is the capital of the general, does the general have any intentions? Yizhou is a dangerous fortress, fertile land thousands of miles away, the land of abundance, Gao Zu made the emperor's career because of it. Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are rich and the country is rich but they don't know how to save them. Smart people think about it Ming Jun. The general is the man of the emperor's family, with faith and righteousness in the world, commanding heroes, thinking of talents like thirsty, if there are thorns and benefits, protect the rocks, west and Zhurong, south Fu Yiyue, outside and Sun Quan, internal repair Politics, wait for the battle between the Northern Lands, once there is a change in the confrontation between Yuan and Cao, all the people from the Southwest can be mobilized, leave Wanluo, enter Qinchuan, and welcome the emperor, which has become a great cause... This is a bright and shallow opinion, whether it is tried or not , I hope you can figure it out for yourself."

Liu Bei stared at Zhuge Liang quietly for a long time, finally heaved a long sigh, cupped his hands and bowed and said: "The words of the master really enlightened Bei, and I hope that the great cause of the world is the most important thing for the master..."

************************
After some persuasion and refusal, Zhuge Liang was finally invited out of the thatched cottage by Liu Bei, and he followed him back to the Xinye land where he is currently stationed. On the way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang walked side by side, chatting enthusiastically and discussing the world together. event.

"Sir, in your opinion, who will win the battle between Yuan and Cao in the north?"

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and thought for a long time when he heard the words, he put his mouth in Liu Bei's ear, and said a long word softly, which immediately turned Liu Bei's face pale with shock.

"Is that true...the winner will be decided in a year at most?"

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly, and said, "It's been planned for a long time, is the power of thunder just empty talk?"

Yecheng, Hebei, Weiwei Mansion.

"Ah-choo~~!"

Yuan Shang sneezed heavily, frowned, looked around blankly, and said curiously: "It's weird, how many years have I not sneezed? Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

Yuan Shang made the first change, and Jushou stroked his beard with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "My lord, you have offended many people with your behavior style for so many years. It is normal to say something about you behind your back."

Yuan Shang gently rubbed his nose, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't think about others, it must be that old man Deng Chang who speaks ill of me behind my back... Don't say anything, his monthly salary for this month is gone! "

Ju Shou was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said dumbfoundedly: "You just deducted a month's monthly salary from someone when you sneezed? My lord, aren't you a little too unreasonable?"

Yuan Shang glanced at Jushou curiously, and said in surprise, "Is it the first day you met me? When did you see me explain the truth?"

Ju Shou was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

"Okay, let's talk about how the farming work in Liaodong is going?" Yuan Shang changed the subject and asked Jushou.

Ju Shou lightly cupped his hands, and said: "Since conquering Changli three years ago, when he was recuperating, Tian Yu has been taking an overview of Liaodong as a Diannong school lieutenant. It has still become an indispensable big warehouse in the rear of our army, which is really a blessing."

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "My elder brother, are we doing pretty well there?"

Ju Shou nodded, and said: "It's not bad. It's just a rich man with wine and meat. It's just that you sent him to the land of Liaodong. You can rest assured that he is not under your nose?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Because my eyelids are lowered, I look at him and get upset, and he looks at me too, so it's better to let him go to Liaodong to live a comfortable life, and we can both calm down a little... the Liaodong area Not related to the Yuan family, my eldest brother can't form a team there, and there is nothing he can do if he wants to make trouble, but it is a good place for him to spend the rest of his life."

Ju Shou nodded and said, "My lord...be kind."

Yuan Shang tapped the table lightly, and said slowly: "Three years, three years... The cholera in the rear has been completely eliminated, the soldiers and horses have been trained, and the farming in various places is going very smoothly. The warehouses are full. The land has returned to its heyday before the Battle of Guandu, and it is even worse... Mr. Gong and Mr., is it time for us to raise troops and go south?"

Ju Shou heard the words, his eyes flashed, nodded and said: "That's right! Now our army is fully trained, and its combat power is by no means comparable to that of the past! It's the right time to go south in one fell swoop, destroy Cao Cao, welcome back the emperor, and create an invincible army. The Yuan family dominates!"

"When is the right time to raise troops?" Yuan Shang raised his head and asked him.

Ju Shou thought for a while, and said: "In three months, I will gather troops, formulate strategies, and collect food and supplies. If it is safe, it is most appropriate to raise troops after three months... And during this time, I think I should write An article of appeal against thieves, published all over the world, to uphold the justice of our army to conquer Cao, to spit on Cao's traitor, so as to win the hearts of the people!"

Yuan Shang clapped his hands lightly, and said, "That's right, it's a good idea to write a call to arms and scold Cao Cao...who would be better to write?"

Ju Shou laughed and said, "Chen Lin is the best."

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said: "Although Chen Lin's writing skills are good, it's a pity that cursing people is too elegant and not enjoyable enough... Let Chen Lin write an article calling for thieves, and I will also write one, two Announcing it to the world, just let the world see my Yuan Shang's writing skills!"

Ju Shou was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord? Are you writing a call to arms? It's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"No, no, it's settled!"
