In any case, Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong and a prince with status and status. Even if he loses power, he must be respected enough.

"Thank you!" Liu Bei said with cupped hands.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei in surprise. As the majestic king of Hanzhong, there was no need to be so polite to two soldiers in the army even if he was reduced to a prisoner.

"Kong Ming, we failed on the battlefield in Yizhou. I and Kong Ming both became prisoners of the King of Jin." Liu Bei said slowly.

From Liu Bei's look, Zhuge Liang did not feel lonely, but felt a little relaxed. It can be seen that Liu Bei has figured it out after this failure. It is indeed a pity that Yizhou has fallen from a prince to the current situation.

The Land of Abundance has thousands of miles of fertile land. If it can be based on Yizhou, it will definitely have a great advantage in competing for world hegemony in the future. However, Liu Bei failed in this struggle for hegemony and had to withdraw from the struggle sadly. This is for a man

It was indeed a huge blow to the ambitious princes.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei quietly, he believed that Liu Bei had something up his sleeve.

"Kong Ming was young, and it was the time when he showed his talents. Although the King of Jin treated the aristocratic family cruelly, they were still powerful. If Kong Ming could seek refuge with the King of Jin, he would definitely be reused. The King of Jin valued Kong Ming very much." Liu Bei

road.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said: "Liang has been following the lord for a long time. I think the lord knows something about Liang. Even if Liang dies, he will not join the rebels. There is no need to fear death."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei felt a little relieved. He appreciated Zhuge Liang's talent, and Zhuge Liang gave him great help when he was in Yizhou. Now that they have become prisoners of the King of Jin at the same time, he has no reason to live.

, it would be reasonable for Zhuge Liang to take refuge with Lu Bu, but seeing someone he admires take refuge with his enemy would inevitably make him feel a little sad.

"Why should Kong Ming be like this?" Liu Bei sighed.

"My lord, there is no need to persuade me anymore. Liang's mind has been made up. It doesn't matter if he dies. Liang is willing to follow my lord." Zhuge Liang said. Lu Bu was what they called a traitor, but Zhuge Liang, as a top strategist, naturally understood the truth behind this.

, Yizhou represents the imperial court, and Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong and must support the imperial court. Lu Bu's behavior is a traitor in the eyes of the imperial court.

Moreover, Lu Bu led an army to invade Yizhou, causing Liu Bei to lose everything in front of him, and even the Holy Emperor became a prisoner. Isn't it a tragedy?

"The king was indeed right about Kong Ming. The monarch and his ministers are going to the disaster together. What is there to be afraid of?" Liu Bei said with a smile. From Zhuge Liang's expression, he felt the firmness of Zhuge Liang's will.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and his expression became much more relaxed. He was Liu Bei's subordinate, and this could not be changed. Moreover, he would not regret his decision. In the choice between life and death, making such a decision would be a waste for anyone.

It is extremely difficult for people. Between life and death, people's choice is often to live. Only by living can there be hope.

However, Zhuge Liang was grateful to Liu Bei. Liu Bei paid three visits to the thatched cottage, invited him out of the mountain, and gave him an important position. This was his trust in him. Liu Bei was his confidant. Even if he died for Liu Bei, it was nothing to Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, now Yizhou has been pacified by the King of Jin. Looking at the world's princes, the only person who can compare with the King of Jin is Cao Cao." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei in surprise. At this time, when Liu Bei talked about the general trend of the world, he felt a little weird. He had lost the power in his hands, and the major events in the world had nothing to do with the two of them. Even if Cao Cao was taking over If they fail in the subsequent battle, what does it have to do with the two of them?

"But Xudu is still the court of the Han Dynasty. Although I did not recognize the court of Xudu before, now that Yizhou has been conquered by the King of Jin, the court of Xudu is orthodox." Liu Bei said slowly: "Although I failed, it is still true. I don’t want the big man to fall into the hands of rebellious people like King Jin, so I can only do my best to help the big man.”

"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.

"Before the decisive battle with the Chang'an army, I secretly ordered Sun Qian that if the army failed, he would go to Xudu to seek refuge with the imperial court, and also presented the method of building the crossbow chariot to the imperial court. This could be regarded as my contribution to the great Han Dynasty. Go hard." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang nodded. Liu Bei could think of the Han court at this time. It can be seen that in Liu Bei's heart, the Han Dynasty still has a very high status. The ballista must be an important weapon on the future battlefield. If Cao Jun can possess A sophisticated serial ballista may not be unable to defeat the Chang'an army on the battlefield.

Lu Bu owns the Liangnu chariot. If Cao Cao is at a disadvantage in this regard, he will definitely suffer a lot in the war in Yizhou. Zhuge Liang can still understand this.

"Kong Ming was responsible for building the Liannu chariot. I presented the method of building the Liannu chariot to Xudu without permission. I hope Kong Ming won't be surprised." When he said this, Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly replied: "Rebels and traitors should be punished by everyone. It would be the greatest misfortune for the great man if Liu Bei and others were allowed to conquer the world."

"If Kong Ming is willing to assist King Jin, just go ahead and I won't blame him," Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang saluted again and said: "My lord, even if my subordinates die, they are still subordinates of the King of Hanzhong."

After leaving Zhuge Liang's residence, Liu Bei had no regrets in his heart. From being a prince to the current land, it makes people feel desolate. Looking at Liu Bei's life, it was quite bumpy. He wanted to pass his own He tried hard to gain a foothold in the chaotic situation, but ultimately failed.

The discussion between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang quickly reached Lu Bu's ears. Lu Bu was wary of Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei failed on the battlefield in Yizhou, it can be seen from Liu Bei's past actions that this person is When he was on the battlefield, Liu Bei once said that he would persuade Zhuge Liang. Lu Bu could only give it a try. If he succeeded, getting talents like Zhuge Liang would be a big help to him. If If you fail, there is nothing to regret.

"Feng Xiao, now that Liu Bei has completely failed, in your opinion, will Zhuge Liang defect to me?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, from the perspective of my subordinates, the possibility of Zhuge Liang defecting to my lord is very small. Zhuge Liang came to help only after Liu Bei's personal invitation. Moreover, Zhuge Liang himself is a proud man. How could he choose to defect to him so easily?" Even if Liu Bei goes to persuade him, there will be no good results."
