The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354 Liu Bei's Decision

The secret letter sent by Xu Shu's messenger was delivered to Liu Bei intact. Liu Bei opened the envelope and looked at it in front of everyone.

His complexion gradually changed from relaxed to serious, and finally he became completely vigilant. Xu Shu told Li Bu to lead an army of 20 to attack Hanzhong, but it was just a bluff and the offensive was not hasty.

He suspected that Li Bu had colluded with Cao Cao. Li Bu delayed Liu Bei's Yizhou troops so that Cao Cao could attack Jingzhou with all his strength.

Xu Shu said that in any case, whether it is true or not, let Liu Bei send a messenger to Jingzhou to inform Zhuge Liang's army division, in case of accidents.

Most importantly, Xu Shu also mentioned that Li Bu is actually Lu Bu, and he has changed his appearance now, but General Guan Yu has recognized Lu Bu in his battle with him. Gu Er concluded that Li Bu was Lu Bu himself.

The most frightening thing is that General Guan Yu has already lost to Li Bu. Who can defeat General Guan Yu in the world today?It can be seen that there are nine out of ten!

After Liu Bei read it in one go, he was shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He saw Cao Cao's soldiers cut off Lu Bu's head and sent it to Cao Cao and Liu Bei to watch.

Liu Bei still couldn't forget the eyes staring at him so hard. They were a pair of terrifying tiger eyes, full of endless murderous intent, unwillingness and anger.

Seeing Liu Bei's shocked appearance, all the counselors and generals became suspicious. Did something big happen again?
Fazheng stepped forward to inquire, Liu Bei gave him the letter to read, Fazheng looked dumbfounded at the back, the others became even more curious, glanced at Liu Bei, saw Liu Bei nodding, Fazheng passed the letter on, and finally all Everyone read the contents of the letter.

Immediately, there was a lot of discussion in the whole hall, and they were very surprised.

Mi Zhu's grandson Qian Jianyong showed shock, and then Qi Qi fell into deep thought.

Ma Liang, Zheng Duyi, Han Ran and others were also amazed, shaking their heads in disbelief.

They were very reluctant to believe that this was true, but the generals concerned had personally confirmed it, so they had to believe it. General Guan was a person who fought against Lu Bu, and General Guan was also defeated by Li Bu, so he had to believe it.

Chen Dao, Xia Houlan, Ma Zhong, Zhang Yi, Zhang Xie, Li Yan, Fei Guan, Lei Tong, Li Hui, Deng Zhi, Yan Zhi, and Huo Jun, Pan Lin were all present.

Only counselor Yan Pu was sick at home and did not show up.

Zhang Xie volunteered to join the army on his own initiative and performed well. He was recommended by the local government and is now being reused by Liu Bei.

Ma Zhong was the one Pei Feng asked to scout around for him, and finally Pei Feng personally found Ma Zhong and recommended him to Liu Bei's side. After Liu Bei's personal assessment, he was very happy that Ma Zhong was really talented.

Liu Bei was full of admiration to Pei Feng, Pei Feng is really a man of genius, who actually knows where there are great talents.

"I suggest that my lord immediately send a messenger to Jingzhou to report to Zhuge's army division, just in case," Fazheng said, cupping his hands.

Mi Zhu also nodded in agreement, "This matter is no small matter, I'd rather believe it than nothing."

Immediately afterwards, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others echoed.

Liu Bei nodded and ordered, "General Chen Dao, immediately send someone to Jingzhou to report, and said, be careful to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Jingzhou."

After hesitating for a while, Liu Bei added, "Soochow should be careful too."

"Take this secret letter along with you and hand it over to Military Adviser Zhuge and General Pei Feng!"

Chen Dao took the order and received the secret letter, "I'll do it, the general!"

After dispatching the messenger, Liu Bei worried again, "My second brother was defeated by Lv Bu. Now Lv Bu has another 20 troops attacking Hanzhong. May I ask you to send reinforcements?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and they were all in deep thought. Yi Ji said, "General Guan has never declared that he needs reinforcements. From this, it can be seen that General Guan is sure to hold Hanzhong, and the letter mentioned that the enemy army is just bluffing. Although they may attack aggressively in the end. With the ability of General Guan, it is not difficult to guard Hanzhong. Hanzhong is also a city of tigers, and the city of tigers is equipped with generals, plus General Guan's [-] elites, as well as the two young masters of Ma Dai, Yan Baihu, Guan Ping, and other generals. Assistant, Hanzhong should be as stable as a mountain, and now my lord has to worry about whether Jingzhou is really in danger."

Liu Bei nodded and felt that his words made sense, but he still asked the others, "What do you guys think?"

"No need to increase troops!" Everyone said in unison. They had absolute trust in Guan Yu from the innate, and Yizhou and Hanzhong were too close, so it was too easy to support.

But at this time, Zheng Du said, "My lord, I think that we should use all our forces to attack Li Bu, and eliminate Li Bu's future troubles as quickly as possible, so that my lord will have no worries. At that time, even if there is an emergency in Jingzhou, The lord can also support at any time"

Fazheng said, "What if there are changes in Jingzhou during the attack on Li Bu? You need to know that Li Bu has an army of 20, and the total strength of Yizhou and I is only 15. Including General Guan Yu's seven Thousands of soldiers are only as good as Li Bu, and it is not easy to solve Li Bu in a short time, the most important thing is that the most powerful General Guan is not Li Bu's opponent, which has a great impact on our morale."

The analysis of Fazheng's words was very reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement, but Zheng Du insisted, "There is no need to worry about Jingzhou. With Zhuge Junshi and the three generals, and General Pei Feng is here, Jingzhou will definitely be safe. The two under the command of the lord The general is in Jingzhou, what are you worried about?"

"If we want to do it, we must do it to the utmost. If we don't enter the tiger's den, we will win a tiger's cub. My lord, you can give it a try."

After Zheng Du finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei, waiting for Liu Bei to make a decision.

Liu Bei flickered, and his heart was a little moved, but he still hesitated. What Zheng Du said made sense, and what others said also made sense.

The key point is whether Guan Yu can hold Hanzhong, whether Pei Feng, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei can hold Jingzhou. In essence, it is the same wherever they choose to protect.

Everyone didn't speak, because this decision had to be made by Liu Bei himself. Although they felt that Zheng Du's suggestion was quite risky, they might as well give it a try. Success.

In fact, Yiji and Fazheng also felt that Zheng Du's suggestion might be implemented.

If Guan Yu can defeat Li Bu, then he is sure of it.

Liu Bei also knew that the right to choose was in his hands. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Bei finally chose to believe in Guan Yu.

He trusted Guan Yu very much, so Liu Bei decided to support Jingzhou at any time. For some reason, Liu Bei had a strong premonition that there would be a big catastrophe in the Shu Kingdom this time, and both Wei Guo and Soochow would attack him.

Even if Cao Cao wants to seize Jingzhou, he can unite with Soochow to fight against it, but it is different now, it is not a three-point world, now there is an extra short time for Li Bu to appear, but he develops Swift princes.

His power can no longer be underestimated. Now that the world is divided into four parts, it is just right to lose one.

But who is missing?He, Liu Bei, had a feud with Cao Cao, and was regarded by Cao Cao as a confidant, and he had a gap with Soochow. Soochow was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei because of the Jingzhou incident.

Moreover, both Cao Cao and Sun Quan think that Liu Bei is the most threatening, and will greatly hinder the unification of the world in the future.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that it is easy to get rid of the most threatening ones, and then unite with the ordinary ones to fight against the strongest ones.

Even if you take a step back and cannot defeat the strongest, it is enough to check and balance the strongest, and you can also stand in the position of decision-making power when you are in an alliance. Allies who are weaker than you naturally have to follow their decisions and actions, otherwise they will just wait to perish.

Liu Bei finally made up his mind and said, "I believe that my second brother can guard Hanzhong. Huo Junpan will be the guard of Jiameng Pass, the closest to Hanzhong. General Huo Jun should pay more attention to the battle situation in Hanzhong, so as to prepare for support at any time."

"The final general obeys orders!" Huo Junpan immediately took orders.

Liu Bei looked at Zheng Du and said, "Thank you sir for your suggestion, but Jingzhou is too important to Bei, I'm afraid that General Pei Feng won't be able to do what he wants, and my third brother is irritable and doesn't listen to good advice, so Bei can't be at ease."

There is another sentence that Liu Bei didn't say, that is, Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang was suspicious of Pei Feng, so how could the generals and counselors not be single-minded, how could they retreat from the enemy?
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei bowed deeply to Zheng Du, which surprised Zheng Du, and quickly ran over to help Liu Bei, and moved, "My lord, you don't have to do this, I deserve it, no matter which choice you choose, it's all right. The minister is just obsessed with cunning ways, that's why he came up with this idea, my lord, don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Zheng Du was not dissatisfied, Liu Bei was relieved, took Zheng Du's hand, and said to everyone, "You are all my right-hand men, and I will take every good word of yours seriously. The Kingdom of Shu cannot do without you. Anyone, each of you is contributing, and I will see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, thank you very much”

"Lord!"

"Lord"

"Lord"

All hands were touched, looking at Liu Bei, they were fortunate to follow such a virtuous king, they didn't have to worry about pressure under Liu Bei's account, and Liu Bei never ignored anyone.
