Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 582 Zhuge Liang Comes Out

"Third brother, don't make mistakes. Second brother, you go out first." Seeing Zhang Fei started talking nonsense again, Liu Bei quickly stopped them and asked the two to go out first and wait outside. It must be that Liu Bei came here this time to seek talents, and he didn't want to be with him. What is Zhuge Liang arguing about?

"Yes." Zhang Fei wanted to say something, but seeing that Liu Bei's face had turned ugly, he just opened his mouth, stopped talking, and turned around to leave the thatched cottage.

"Brother, talk to Mr. Zhuge here, we will wait outside." Guan Yu also said goodbye at this time, then turned around and followed Zhang Fei out of the thatched cottage.

"Just now my two younger brothers clashed recklessly, sir, please forgive me, Liu Bei apologized to sir here." Seeing his two younger brothers leave, Liu Bei hastily apologized to Zhuge Liang.

"Your Majesty, you are being polite, the two generals are gentlemen, how can I get angry with the two generals?" Regarding Liu Bei's apology, Zhuge Liang laughed, and it was like exposing all these.

"Liu Bei has been busy for half his life. He wanted to work for the welfare of the people of the world, but he just couldn't figure it out. This time, he specially came to see Mr. because he wanted to ask him to come out of the mountains and help me restore the Han Dynasty." Seeing that no one was bothering him, Liu Bei sincerely said again Said.

"Hey, I don't know how the general is going to let me help you? Although Fang is still a prince, Lu Bu has already occupied half of the world. Sending troops to Hanzhong to force Zhang Lu to surrender, Yizhou is already in jeopardy. Although Jiangdong Sun Quan has great ambitions, Jiangdong is dominated by naval forces, and he can naturally rule the roost in the Yangtze River. It is really not sure if he wants to deal with Lu Bu in the Northern Expedition. Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou has an envoy Jun and General Xiahou Dun are your assistants, but Liu Biao only cares about self-preservation and has no intention of making progress. May I ask, who in the world can compete with Lu Bu? What can I do to help you?" Regarding Liu Bei's request, Zhuge Liang sighed Said in one voice.

"Lü Bu's abolition of imperial power has provoked anger and resentment. His ambition to annex the world has been clearly revealed. At this critical juncture, the loyal and righteous people in the world should unite as one. It is time to destroy Lu Bu and restore the foundation of the Han family. Naturally, as a member of the Han family, I have a duty to do so, and please help me a little bit." Zhuge Liang explained from the perspective of the current situation in the world that it is very difficult to help Liu Bei achieve a career in the current situation.Liu Bei, on the other hand, unfolded another picture to Zhuge Liang from the perspective of what people think Zhuge Liang is more pragmatic, while Liu Bei is an idealist with firm beliefs.

"Uncle Liu Huang is really different. It is not impossible for Uncle Huang to invite me to come out to help, but Uncle Huang has to promise me one thing." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and then said.

"Just say what you want, sir, and Liu Bei will naturally agree to it." Hearing that Zhuge Liang finally let go, Liu Bei said hastily.

"If you want to come out to help me, the emperor wants those Jingzhous first, and it must be Lu Bu who the emperor wants to deal with. Now Lu Bu's power spreads across Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, eight states. It is obviously impossible for the emperor's uncle to resist Lu Bu with the strength of Xinye, so the emperor's uncle needs to agree , take Jingzhou first, and with the backing of the nine counties of Jingzhou, the emperor will have the opportunity to compete with Lu Bu, and I will be able to come out to help." Seeing that Liu Bei had not heard what his conditions were, he readily agreed. , but Zhuge Liang laughed, and continued.

"This? I am of the same clan as King Liu Biao of Xiangyang. There was no defeat and nowhere to go. That's why King Liu Biao of Xiangyang took me in and let me station in Xinye. How could I avenge him and seek to seize his Jingzhou? I, Liu Bei, really can't do unkind and unrighteous things. Of course, my husband said that the strength of Xinye is not enough to fight against Lu Bu. Of course, I understand this. So I have already borrowed troops from the King of Xiangyang, and I am going to send troops to Wancheng. Taking advantage of Zhang Liaoyuan's opportunity in Hanzhong, he captured Wancheng and used it as a basis for resisting Lu Bu, what do you think?" Regarding Zhuge Liang letting him take Jingzhou, Liu Bei was naturally moved, but Liu Bei knew that he was in harmony with other princes Bi, the biggest advantage is his reputation of benevolence and righteousness. If he sends troops to seize Jingzhou, it is tantamount to ruining his reputation of benevolence and righteousness completely, making him lose the good reputation he has accumulated so hard for so many years. unwilling to accept.

"Hehe, it turns out that Uncle Huang wanted me to go out to deal with Pang Tong." After hearing Liu Bei's meaning, Zhuge Liang laughed, and then said: "Back then, Pang Tong and I sat down to practice with Mr. Shuijing. "Although I can beat Pang Unified slightly, it is only under the condition that both sides have the same resources. Both of us are very familiar with each other's tactical arrangements, so even if I can beat Pang Unified, it is not enough for the emperor's uncle to seize Wancheng." It doesn’t help much. So I’d better persuade the emperor to cancel his plan to seize Wancheng.” Zhuge Liang obviously didn’t agree with Liu Bei’s plan to seize Wancheng.It is certain that Zhuge Liang can win against Pang Tong, but behind Pang Tong are Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, who have a lot of resources, and the power in Liu Bei's hands is too weak, and there is no way to bear much damage. Once the two sides are exhausted, Liu Bei will suffer in the end.

"Since I can't attack Wancheng, do I have any other options? It is absolutely impossible for me to avenge my kindness and attack Jingzhou." Since even Zhuge Liang didn't have much confidence in defeating Pang Tong and taking Wancheng, Liu Bei had no choice but to Putting the matter aside for the time being, he turned to ask Zhuge Liang.

"Actually, there is a chance now, but if the emperor does this, I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain." Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang turned around, imagined the map on the side, wrinkled and said nothing.

"Please advise, sir." At this time, Liu Bei also hurriedly bowed his hands to ask Zhuge Liang for advice.

"Here." Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and pointed on the map. Liu Bei looked intently, and the direction Zhuge Liang was pointing was not elsewhere, but Yizhou next to Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang went on to say: "Now that Zhang Liao is dispatching troops to Hanzhong and Zhang Lu surrendered in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou must be in a state of panic. He is deeply afraid that Zhang Liao will march in and take Yizhou. Uncle Huang and Liu Zhang are of the same clan, so we can take this opportunity Send troops to Yizhou, help Liuzhang deal with Zhang Liao, take the opportunity to annex Yizhou, and help the emperor sweep the world. It's just that the reason why Xiangyang King Liu Biao arranged the emperor's uncle in Xinye is to let the emperor contribute to keep him The gate of Jingzhou, if the emperor's uncle sends troops to Yizhou, it will definitely lead to the opening of Jingzhou's gate. If Zhang Liao and Pang Tong take this opportunity to send troops south, Jingzhou will be in danger. Even if the emperor's uncle arrives in Yizhou, it may be difficult to save The situation in the world."

"This? But if I don't send troops to Yizhou, then after Lu Bu takes Hebei and Zhang Liao takes Yizhou, won't I still send troops south to take Jingzhou?" After Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei finally His eyes were wide open, and he fully understood the current situation in the world, so he spoke.

"Uncle Huang is right. The situation in the world is exactly like this. If Uncle Huang really wants to compete with Lu Bu, then the best situation is to win Jingzhou first, and then Yizhou. The power of the state, unite with Jiangdong Sun Quan, and jointly fight against Lu Bu, so that the general situation of the world will turn for the better." Then Zhuge Liang changed the subject and pointed out the future path for Liu Bei.

"Mr. is indeed a great talent. After listening to what you said, Liu Bei suddenly understood a lot. Please come out and help me, sir, to make a bright future for the people of the world." So far, Liu Bei has really learned Zhuge Liang's talent, and Zhuge Liang admired him all at once. Looking at the ground, Liu Bei has thought about the situation in the world for a long time, but he has no clue all the time, and his vision is still focused on the gains and losses of a city and a place, but now it seems that his vision is too narrow, and Compared with Zhuge Liang, he was like a frog in a well, so Liu Bei decided that no matter what price he paid, he would ask Zhuge Liang to come out to help him, only in this way could he live his life well.

"I don't know if the envoy is willing to send troops to take Jingzhou now?" Zhuge Liang didn't answer Liu Bei's words directly, but asked Liu Bei if he would send troops to take Jingzhou. Liu Bei must be very popular in Jingzhou and wants to take Jingzhou It is also much easier than sending troops to Wancheng, not to mention that the nine counties of Jingzhou are rich and powerful, and Wancheng is only one county, how many soldiers and horses can they raise?
"It's really inappropriate to take action at this time for the affairs of Jingzhou. Please help me enter Yizhou, what is your plan?" Liu Bei thought for a long time, but felt that sending troops to Jingzhou at this time would be really bad for his reputation, and wanted to send troops to Yizhou first. , Take Yizhou first, and then consider Jingzhou.

"Those who have achieved great things since ancient times don't stick to small details. Since the emperor couldn't even make up his mind, why did he drag me out and devote himself to it?" Hearing that Liu Bei was still unwilling to attack Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang said with a sigh.It must be that Zhuge Liang wants to go out of the mountain to achieve a career, not to follow Liu Bei to wander around.

"Okay, I promise sir, as long as the time is right, we will win Jingzhou and fight against Lu Bu. If you want to come to Jingzhou, the king will definitely understand my heart." At this time, Liu Bei thought again and again, and decided to follow Zhuge Liang's suggestion. Taking Jingzhou at the right time, Liu Bei must have been tired of wandering around. Now that he has established a life, since this matter has an opportunity, how could he not grasp it in his hands.
