Looking at Zhuge Liang's curious expression, Liu Bei whispered: "Gan Xingba was originally under Huang Yuanyang's command. Now he is here to abandon Jiangxia and come to join me. He may be attacked by Cai Kuai and others."

"That's it?"

Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and laughed loudly, "The lord is so cautious. You forgot that General Gan came to join the eldest son? So what does it have to do with you?"

"Uh, that's true." Liu Bei swallowed.

Zhuge Liang then added: "Before we settled Guanzhong, we had the tree of the eldest son sheltering the wind and rain, so we can do a lot of things with confidence. Liu Jingzhou would not have any grudges at all, but now the four counties in the east of Han have been settled and Hanzhong is now

The capital was moved to Xicheng, and Xiangyang's subsequent support was probably gone, and Wenpin's recall was a clear proof."

Liu Bei echoed: "As the military advisor said, we can only rely on ourselves, and it is difficult for Chang Chang to move. Except for the three thousand Huainan soldiers brought by Yide from Hefei, the rest need to be in Xicheng, Shangyongxin

To recruit, I don’t know how many troops I can conquer Chang’an.”

"The soldiers are elite, not many. Yide's three thousand elite soldiers are stronger than Jingzhou by 10,000 or 20,000." Zhuge Liang praised Zhang Fei and smiled slightly: "The people of the four counties in the east of Han are enough. The lord has as much courage as Liang has, as Liang has as many courage as his lord has.

Strategy.”

Liu Bei nodded straight: "Okay, Bei lacks everything from scratch, but he doesn't lack courage.

"Well, you will have what you should have in the future. General Gan is here to vote halfway through. I think Taishi Ci will join soon." Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously after saying that.

Liu Bei asked curiously: "Why did the military advisor say this?"

Zhuge Liang replied, "Didn't you find that you are a lucky general with Long Yunqi? He helped recruit Yide's three thousand Huainan soldiers, and Liu Ziyang also used a trick to stay and recommend it to the lord. It can be said that we can easily win it.

In Handong, General Long will take over half of the credit. He now has a crush on Taishi Ci and says that there is a great hope of surrender."

“It makes sense.”

Liu Bei nodded slightly. He remembered that Zhuge Liang planned to let Zhuge Jin secretly help, so he couldn't help but remind: "Sun Ce slaughtered a lot in Jiangdong a few years ago. Sun Quan was at this time, and the military advisor wanted to warn Ziyu to act carefully.

Don't cause trouble for yourself"

"The lord doesn't have to worry about his brother. Liang will not let him directly disagree with Taishi Ziyi, nor will he let him betray Jiangdong. There will be no problems with personal safety. Moreover, Sun Quan and Sun Ce are very different. This person is not good at using military force.

If you are proficient in power and plotting, you should not talk about killing lightly." Zhuge Liang answered seriously.

After hearing this, Liu Bei frowned and asked with a little concern: "Since Sun Quan is good at power planning, he doesn't know what the military advisor should do."

Zhuge Liang wiped the white feather fan and replied solemnly: "Sun Ce originally made his career by martial arts, but his choice before his death was contrary to himself. He neither chose Sun Ben, who was mature and steadfast, nor did he choose Sun Yi recommended by Zhang Zhao and others.

, it should be because he found that he killed too much. If he chose an heir who was similar to him, the foundation that the Sun family quickly obtained would be quickly lost. Therefore, he chose Sun Quan, who was calm and good at internal affairs, despite his opposition;

Sun Quan has not been peaceful in the three years since he succeeded to the throne. He originally used Wu Jing and Xu Kun to control some of the military power, but after two battles between Huainan and Yuzhang, he completely lost control of the Jiangdong army, so he transferred his energy to internal affairs.

At the beginning, Qibing brothers, Bu Zhi and other newcomers in Jianghuai to develop their internal affairs;

As the lord said, Sun Quan was just as strong as his energy and had power, so how could he be willing to lose his military power for a long time? He boldly activated newcomers such as Lu Meng, Ling Tong, He Qi, etc., in order to cultivate the power loyal to him and replace Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, and Sun Ben in the future.

Taishici and other foreign generals.”

"The military advisor is the end." Liu Bei wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhuge Liang observed that there was no one around and then explained in a low voice: "Although Taishi Ci led the army alone, Sun Ben is weaker than Zhou Yu. I plan to communicate with my brother about the harm of military power loss. It is still unknown whether he will tell Sun Quan.

, but as long as Sun Quan takes corresponding countermeasures, Taishici should be sad about the death of the rabbit."

Liu Bei murmured to himself: "Following what the military advisor just now, it seems that there is a tendency to cause fire to Zhou Yu and Sun Ben. However, Zhou Lang is the commander of Jiangdong, and Sun Ben is the patriarch of the Sun family. These two people have a high status in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan should

Will not touch Jiangdong's fundamentals"

"Looking at Sun Quan's actions over the past few years, he is not a foolish person. If he dares not touch the root cause, he will definitely start from the side. Taishici and Sun's friendship is not deep, wouldn't it just that Long Yunqi's intention?"

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, Liu Bei suddenly realized and nodded and added: "Then I have to remind Yun Qi that he will be prepared."

"Lord, don't worry. Since General Long has this plan, he has made sufficient preparations. Don't forget that Lu Zijing is here. He knows to mention the point from the side. You should focus on Guanzhong and wait a few days to return to the Xicheng station.

Liang immediately sent a letter to Jiangdong to write his family.”

“Okay.”

Zhuge Liang planned to use Zhuge Jin's mouth to intensify the conflict between Sun Quan and the generals with words, but he did not know that the conflict had already intensified.

Shortly after Sun Quan and Zhou Yu withdrew from Jiangxia, Huang Zu found out the reason for the withdrawal of the troops in Jiangdong and soon sent people to Xiangyang to find Liu Biao for help.

Huang Zu planned to take advantage of the chaos and lead his troops to invade Jiangdong again. Even if he could not fight head-on, he could not stop harassing.

He believed that we must keep fighting and not give Jiangdong a chance to breathe and develop, otherwise when the other party makes a comeback, Jiangxia will be in danger.

At this time, Jiangxia had soldiers but no ships. Since it was necessary to repair the damaged city walls of Shaxian, Xiangyang also needed to allocate money and grain to support it.

Although Huang Zu's strategic thinking is correct, Liu Biao's clever wife cannot cook without rice. She cannot get the support of powerful men such as Cai Mao and Kuai Yue. She cannot distribute money and food for warships, and Xiangyang has already supported warships once.

Liu Biao did not directly reject Huang Zu, and replied that he needed time to raise money and food, which would allow Liu Pan to continue to harass Jianchang and other places. He also promised that when Wen Pin returned from the Western Expedition, his navy army would rush to assist in the war.

Although Liu Biao is proficient in procrastination, when Liu Qi and Liu Bei pacified Handong and Wen Pin led his troops to withdraw from Xiangyang, he also made Kuai Yue's face-to-face reminder and Cai's blowing on the bedside wind, Liu Biao finally did not add more

Money and grain, even Wenpin stayed in Xiangyang to prepare for precautions.

In the end, only Liu Pan left in Xiangyang's support for Huang Zu.

Huang Zu waited in Jiangxia for several months, neither waiting for Wenpin's navy to support nor the warships used for wars. He could only send military and civilians to repair and strengthen Shaxian City, and lost the opportunity to go to Jiangdong to take advantage of the situation.

.

Because Liu Pan committed another harassment, Cheng Pu, who was originally going to pacify Shanyue in Poyang, could not cope with it. Zhou Yu then led the main force of Chaisang to the Poyang area to quell the rebellion.

Zhou Yu spent half a year to pacify Shanyue near Poyang, but also destroyed Ma and Baoertun at the junction of Yuzhang and Danyang.

Ma, Baoertun gathered tens of thousands of people and refused to accept Wang Hua. A few years ago, Sun Ce and Taishi Ci had a conquest and failed.

This time, Zhou Yu not only was the leader of the commander of Xiaoqu, but also completely captured the city and captured the people, allowing the Ertun to be completely included in the jurisdiction of Jiangdong.

Through the six months of suppressing the bandits, Zhou Yu harvested more than 10,000 soldiers who were reorganized and surrendered, captured Han people, and tens of thousands of people from Shanyue, and his strength increased sharply.
