The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376
Dongfang Sheng followed Liu Bei's carriage to his new mansion. After confirming that Liu Bei had entered the mansion, Dongfang Sheng stopped and left directly.

Later that evening, Liu Bei was already sitting in his room discussing countermeasures with Pang Tong.

"Shi Yuan, what do you think is the chance of me winning this fight with Zhou Yu?" Liu Bei asked a little tiredly.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have a good relationship with Liu Bei, but if Liu Bei wants to conquer the world, he still needs a counselor like Pang Tong, so the first thing he thought of this time was to discuss with Pang Tong.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Pang Tong sighed, "I said that in the carriage today to stabilize the morale of the army, but in fact, my lord, you have newly acquired soldiers from Jingzhou. The Jiangdong Sun family has always been under Zhou Yu's control. Which one is better?" You can tell which is worse."

Liu Bei slapped his thigh and said, "Is it true that I, Liu Bei, must make a fuss?"

"My lord can..." Pang Tong said hesitantly.

"You mean to cede the four counties to Zhou Yu?" Liu Bei said with a sneer, "Shi Yuan, you have great strategies, but you don't understand people's hearts. Can Zhou Yu's appetite be satisfied by only the four counties of Jingzhou?"

After Liu Bei wandered for so many years and met so many princes and people, he naturally understood Zhou Yu's plan. They had no plan to share Jingzhou equally with him at all. Zhou Yu wanted to directly annex the entire Jingzhou from the very beginning.

Although Pang Tong was not as knowledgeable as Liu Bei, he was smarter than Liu Bei. As soon as Liu Bei said it, he understood that it was impossible for Zhou Yu and the others to give up after taking the four counties of Jingzhou. What they wanted was the whole of Jingzhou.

"What can I do for it!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sighed, looking up to the sky and weeping. "I think I've been wandering all over the place, and now I'm old enough to know my destiny, but when will I have my territory?"

Pang Tong was also silent for a while, the man in front of him had gray temples, and he still didn't have a place to live after spending most of his life, which made Pang Tong lament the injustice of fate in his heart.

Just as Liu Bei and Pang Tong looked at each other speechlessly, the door was suddenly pushed open gently.

A young man with a strong figure and explosive power came in.

This young man was Dongfang Sheng who followed Liu Bei during the day.

"Don't come here without any problems, Mr. Xuande." Dongfang Shengyi greeted Liu Bei who was still in tears, and at the same time, he cursed in his heart, Liu Bei really loves to cry.

"Dare to hurt my lord, I'll teach you five blood-splattering steps!" Pang Tong immediately stood up and stopped Dongfang Sheng and shouted.

But Liu Bei was calm after all, and gently pushed Pang Tong away, saying: "Shi Yuan, don't be rash, Meng Ren is my friend, and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so who can blame whom?"

What Liu Bei said made Dongfang Sheng nod secretly: This guy is indeed Liu Bei, what he said is really touching.

"I don't know why Meng Ren came here this time?" Liu Bei asked with a slight smile.

Dongfang Sheng didn't want to go around in circles with Liu Bei, so he said bluntly: "I want to form an alliance with you to fight against the Jiangdong Sun family together."

"What!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up, "This statement is serious!"

Dongfang Sheng nodded solemnly and said: "This statement is true, and I only need the two counties of Jingzhou."

As soon as Liu Bei heard that Dongfang Sheng only needed two counties, and he was willing to send troops to help him, he immediately shouted: "It's a deal, come, let's make a blood alliance now, and we will wait until Meng Ren's soldiers arrive Let's attack Zhou Yu together."

Pang Tong looked at Liu Bei and Dongfang Sheng talking about the alliance with some embarrassment. In his eyes, it was incredible that the two people who were fighting to the death a moment ago could sit down and form an alliance calmly.

Dongfang Sheng didn't dare to stay for too long, and left Liu Bei's mansion directly after a hasty discussion with Liu Bei and an appointment for an approximate time.

To send troops to Jingzhou, Dongfang Sheng must rush back as quickly as possible.

Of course, before going back, Dongfang Sheng still had to wait for a reply from someone, that is Cai Mao. With the support of him, a local aborigine, Dongfang Sheng believed that even if Liu Bei won the other five counties, he would not be able to make big waves.

You must know that it was Qiao Zhou who finally persuaded the soldiers of Shu to surrender without bloodshed, and Qiao Zhou happened to be a member of the Qiao family of the local gentry in Yizhou. It can be said that Liu Bei would never have thought that the power of the gentry would be so powerful that the second generation would end after his death. the point.

Of course, during the period of war, the influence of the gentry has greatly declined, but don’t underestimate them. In this period, besides the state shepherd, there is another official position called don’t drive. It is similar to the position of senior officials in later generations. Of course, the power of others will only be greater.

Dongfang Sheng also knew that people like Cai Mao were emerging noble families in the Han Dynasty and had nothing to do with Sima Yi's Qiguotang, so he dared to cooperate with Cai Mao with confidence.

The gentry in the Qiguotang are basically the royal nobles and generals and officials who survived the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and basically no outsiders joined them.

Since Dongfang Sheng conquered Gongsun Kang successfully, Sima Yi seemed to have disappeared. Of course, Dongfang Sheng never gave up his vigilance.

Three days later, Dongfang Sheng was already on his way back to Yizhou. After receiving Liu Bei's hint, Cai Hao also readily agreed that if Dongfang Shengneng and Liu Bei won the battle with Zhou Yu, he would fully support Dongfang Sheng.

At the same time, Dongfang Sheng also took Liu Cong and Liu Qi with him. The two of them temporarily avoided disaster in Yizhou. If they stayed in Jingzhou at this time, they might have a great chance of being killed.

After Liu Qi's troubles, he has already developed the ambition to go back to seclusion, and Dongfang Sheng also generously promised to give him some start-up funds to let him go.

Before the soldiers and horses moved the food and grass, Dongfang Sheng had already paved the way for this joint military operation. The food and grass in Yizhou were transported to the border between the two states early, and the soldiers and horses had already assembled.

Dongfang Shengyi crossed the border and asked his own soldiers to escort Liu Cong and the others to go first, and he immediately set off for Jingzhou with the assembled soldiers and Tuobahan who had just rushed over from Youzhou.

With Liu Bei and Cai Mao's two super-insiders, Dongfang Sheng entered the territory of Jingzhou as if he had entered no one's land, and went directly to Wan County.

As soon as they arrived outside Wan County, they saw two teams fighting together.

One side is holding the big character 'Liu' and the other is holding the character 'Zhou'. It is obvious that Liu Bei and Zhou Yu are fighting fiercely.

Dongfang Sheng immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and then observed the situation with the self-made binoculars on his chest. Liu Bei was completely at a disadvantage, because the new soldiers who took over Jingzhou were not at the same level as Zhou Yu and his battle-tested veterans.
